Biography of Xi Shan

The situation was better than what Chen Daozhen had imagined, at least Jing Ji was still alive and kicking when he entered the inn, and he and Lin Zixiao were happily teasing each other shoulder to shoulder.

The four of them sat down by the window in the lobby, Xiaoer hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and said with a smile, "What do you guys like to eat?"

The drunkard head replied: "You look at the four meat and three vegetables, choose the right one, don't be afraid that some of you don't have money."

Jing Ji nodded, and said casually: "Just eat big fish and big meat, no one can starve my junior brother when I'm hungry."

Lin Zixiao's face turned red, and he kicked Jing Ji under the table.

Jing Ji sniggered stealthily.

Xiaoer raised his face and said proudly: "Master, don't worry, you can go and ask around in Wuzhou City, who wouldn't say that our Chaoyang Inn's wine and food are the best?"

Jing Ji blinked, how did he arrive in Wuzhou after sleeping all night?

Just when Jing Ji was about to ask, he heard Chen Daozhen take the lead and said: "Make a bowl of shrimp porridge, chop the shrimp and add vegetables, it's easy to digest."

Xiaoer said loudly: "Okay, I'm waiting for you guys, the food will be served right away."

Jing Ji looked at the second child suspiciously, and then at Chen Daozhen.Chen Daozhen looked at him tenderly, and said in a low voice: "Drink the porridge first, you have slept for a long time, eating too much is not good for your health."

Jing Ji chuckled, he looked cute.

Lin Zixiao looked like he had eaten a fly, and the way he looked at Jing Ji changed. This is his mischievous little overlord of the Xishan School who is not afraid of anything, this is simply a little daughter-in-law.

After dinner, Jiu Guitou and Lin Zixiao went to the horse dealer in the town to exchange horses.

Chen Daozhen sent hot water for Jing Ji to freshen up, and Jing Ji soaked in the hot tub, staring at the roof in ecstasy.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Daozhen asked lightly.

Jing Ji wrinkled his face, and it took him a while to relax his face. He looked at Chen Daozhen, suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it."

Chen Daozhen glanced at him faintly, his long and narrow Danfeng eyes slanted over, and the corners of his lips raised a faint smile.

The hot air permeated the entire room, blurring the vision of the two of them.

Chen Daozhen stepped up and walked over, his fingertips brushed across the young man's slender neck, then stopped at his collarbone, and said with a smile: "There is a birthmark in the shape of a peach blossom here, can you see it?"

Jing Ji asked: "You mean peach blossom?"

Chen Daozhen was noncommittal.

Jing Ji frowned thoughtfully, something flashed through his mind, the tiny clues were tangled up, and the end of the thread was right by his hand, just as he was grabbing the end of the thread and preparing to unravel it, his thoughts came to him again. was pulled back into reality.

Chen Daozhen stuck out his tongue, and gently licked the peach blossom mark with the tip of his tongue.

Jing Ji pushed him away abruptly, his big eyes widened, and there was a trace of grievance in his sullenness, he sniffed and said softly: "Didn't we agree, no, it's not like that."

Chen Daozhen laughed: "What? Get up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Jing Ji muttered twice, but he didn't know what he was cursing, and looked angry and anxious.

Chen Daozhen shook his head helplessly, and took him out for a walk after he finished washing up.

Jing Ji felt that his mind was very chaotic, the woman in the portrait appeared in his mind for a while, and then he thought of the peach blossom imprint on his collarbone, and thought that this seemed to be in Wuzhou, but wasn't he still in Jingzhou yesterday?

Jingji's head ached from thinking about it, so he simply shook his head, not thinking about anything, he thought maybe he had slept too much and his mind was confused.However, he just finished thinking like this, and felt a burst of tiredness hit him again, and he was very sleepy.

Chen Daozhen led him to walk slowly, and Jing Ji became sleepy after a while, almost leaning on Chen Daozhen's body.

When he walked to the river, Jing Ji was so sleepy that he couldn't move his eyelids, he pulled Chen Daozhen's sleeve and begged, "I'm a little sleepy, please sit by the river for a while."

Chen Daozhen nodded lightly, and led him to sit down on a big rock. Jing Ji got into his arms almost immediately, and closed his eyes comfortably against him.

Chen Daozhen was stiff all over, showing an ugly smile for a while.

Jing Ji said in a daze, "If I've fallen asleep, you must wake me up, I haven't..."

"Okay." Chen Daozhen agreed in a low voice choked with sobs, "Senior brother Chen will definitely do what he promised you, Jinger, don't worry."

Jiu Guitou and Lin Zixiao exchanged the sick horses for some better horses with some money.

The two of them had just returned to the inn, and before they stepped into the door, they saw Chen Daozhen coming back with the boy who had fallen asleep on his back.

The drunkard scratched his head irritably, not knowing what to say to comfort his deeply affectionate little master.

Just as he was depressed, he heard Chen Daozhen say: "Pack up your things, we'll be on our way right away."

The drunkard's eyes widened in shock, he hasn't rested yet!But his little master is not easy to mess with, the drunkard slapped his forehead, and said forcefully: "My old drunkard will risk his life to accompany the master! Master, you wait, I will go buy some food and leave."

Lin Zixiao lowered his eyes, unable to bear to look at Jing Ji's face.

The carriage left Wuzhou in a bumpy manner, and moved forward rapidly in the darkness.

The drunkard was panting heavily, and said in a low voice, "I'm exhausted, this road is bumpy enough."

Lin Zixiao said: "At this speed, we will be able to reach Panpo Village in a few days, and then we will be close to the Land of No Desire."

The drunkard's head was muffled, he yawned, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about brother Jing, I'm sleepy too, is this disease contagious?"

Lin Zixiao crossed his arms and said, "I'm too sleepy, and traveling like this is really fatal."

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally only the horse was kicking and walking, and the drunkard head and Lin Zixiao fell asleep.

Chen Daozhen paused in his hands and frowned slightly.

He glanced at the kettle that he had thrown aside casually, his eyes were full of cruelty, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time exploded violently at this moment.

Suddenly, the car curtain was lifted, and the person outside saw that Chen Daozhen was awake, he couldn't help being startled, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, he looked at Jing Ji with dark eyes, and finally he threw down his hand as if giving up. sword, and retreated silently.

Chen Daozhen jumped off the carriage, and confronted the man coldly, "Why?"

Zhao Peiran was dressed in black clothes around the waist, his long hair was blown by the strong wind, and he looked messy and flamboyant. He stood in front of Chen Daozhen with a restrained face, with unwillingness and resentment in his voice, and he said: "I thought that brother would not eat because of him I couldn't sleep, I didn't expect that I didn't even drink my saliva."

Chen Daozhen drew out his sword, and the sword energy moved towards Zhao Peiran, and he asked again in a deep voice, "Why!"

Zhao Peiran said angrily: "I can't let you take risks in the land of no desire. As long as Jing Ji is alive, you will no longer have the ambition to dominate the world. All I did was to help you to the martial arts world with my own hands." The supreme altar, let all the people in the world worship Wujizong, let them stand in the dust and look up at you. You can become a myth in the martial arts world, and a legend that no one can match. All of this must not be destroyed by Jingji inside."

Chen Daozhen looked at him silently. After a while, he raised his face and said lightly: "Zhao Peiran, I will let you off this time, and you immediately go back to Wuji Sect. You can't leave without my order. If I die Once you are in the Land of No Desire, you will stay in the Wuji Sect forever, and you will not be allowed to step out!"

Zhao Peiran watched Chen Daozhen turn around and walk back with a cold face, he pressed his lips tightly, trying to suppress the earth-shattering hatred in his heart.

Chen Daozhen stopped suddenly, turned his back to Zhao Peiran and said lightly: "The supreme martial artist, number one in the world, is by no means a waste that can't even defeat the land of no desire. Peiran, when did I start, I have already been in your heart Become a useless person who seeks stability and wins?"

Zhao Peiran looked at him with complicated eyes, with thick and intractable sadness in his eyes.

The next day, Jiu Guitou and Lin Zixiao woke up and went on the road immediately, but after a night of sleep, they were very energetic and smooth.

The four of them continued on their way without stopping, and it was more than ten days after they arrived at Panpo Village.

Panpo Village is a very backward and dilapidated small village. Outside the village stands a stone tablet covered with weeds, on which the words "Panpo Village" are blurred.

As soon as a few people got out of the carriage, they saw an elderly man leading a group of people hurriedly towards here.

Most of them were dressed in shabby clothes, all of which were patched, only the old man at the head was fairly clean, but the clothes were old and white.

A group of people stared at the carriage warily, especially when Chen Daozhen got out of the carriage, their bodies tensed up, their expressions were very vigilant.

The leading old man said: "I am the village head here, what are you doing here?"

Chen Daozhen sized them up a few times, and said calmly: "I'm Chen Daozhen of the Wuji Sect, my younger brother is sick, and I plan to take him to the place of no desire to see a doctor."

Everyone looked at each other nervously when they heard Wuyuzhi, their expressions seemed a little strange.

The village head did see a person lying in the carriage when Chen Daozhen got off the carriage, he hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I advise you to go back, this place of no desire will never return, your brother's life It seems intractable."

Chen Daozhen took out a heavy bag of silver and said, "Anyway, it's getting late now, and I hope the village chief will let us rest for a night. Even if we make plans again, we have to discuss it."

The village chief looked at the bag of silver with deep eyes. He looked at the dilapidated village, saw that Chen Daozhen was generous, finally took the silver with a sigh, and said, "Come with me."

Chen Daozhen and Jiu Guitou followed the village chief to the village, while Lin Zixiao followed behind on his horse.

This village is indeed very backward, most people wear rough and tattered linen clothes, the houses are messy, and one room is even more than half collapsed and there are still people living in it.

Rare plants are planted around the village, and the amount of planting is very large, but they look sick and unhealthy.

The drunkard head became interested and asked, "Village chief, what the hell are these things? I've been an old drunkard for most of my life, and I've never seen them before."

The village chief smiled ashamedly, and replied: "It's just some common herbs. Although they don't grow well, our whole village lives by relying on these herbs."

The drunkard scratched his head and said, "Hey, I really haven't seen it before."

Chen Daozhen followed the drunkard's gaze, frowned inadvertently, but asked: "It seems that there are not many people in the village."

The village chief sighed, shook his head and said: "The young, strong and capable have all gone out to make a living. We have lived here for most of our lives, and we don't want to leave. What can we do when we go out? Let's live here. "

The village head led a few people to his home, cleaned out the best room, and told them: "This is the only room left, you should live here first, I'm sorry."

The room is a large shop, but it is spacious, but there is a musty smell, and the wall is also trembling, as if it could fall down if pushed.

Lin Zixiao removed all the blankets from the carriage, tidied up a place, made a bed hastily, and carried Jing Ji into the house first.

Lin Zixiao looked at Chen Daozhen suspiciously. In the past, Chen Daozhen never cheated on others with Jing Ji's affairs, but today he stood in front of a wall, resting his chin in a daze, completely forgetting about Jing Ji who was in a deep sleep the back of the head.

After a while, the village head came back again. Since the door was open, the village head didn't knock on the door, and walked straight in.

Chen Daozhen frowned slightly, and pulled the quilt covering Jing Ji's body a little at night.

The village chief didn't seem to care. He put a food box on the table and took out a plate of flatbread and a pot of tea from it.

The drunkard head chuckled and said, "Thank you, village head, I'm an old drunkard, you're welcome."

The village chief sighed and said, "Hey, if we weren't so poor here, I would also like to invite you to eat meat and drink wine."

The drunkard smiled indifferently, the pancakes are really hard.

Chen Daozhen suddenly asked: "Can the village chief tell us about the place of no desire?"

"What are you asking about?" The village chief's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you are still planning to go to that ghostly place?"

Chen Daozhen looked at him and said with a smile: "If you persuade us not to go, at least give us a solid reason. This is related to my brother's life, and I must not take it lightly."

The village chief lowered his head and pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "That's all, I'll tell you."

Lin Zixiao sat cross-legged on a corner of the bed, listening to the words very seriously, completely different from his usual dazed appearance.And the drunk head lay down on the other side of the Datong bunk very indifferently, turned over and let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The village head said: "In fact, we don't know where the land of no desire is. We only know that we can reach the entrance of the land of no desire through the forest on the back mountain. But I heard that there are monsters in that forest. Someone ran there before. I went hunting, but no one came out again, and as time passed, no one went to that forest again."

Chen Daozhen smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that the Land of No Desire is a treasure land of outstanding people. Maybe people who go there never want to come back?"

The village chief stared wide-eyed, his expression turned gloomy for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "My lord, you're joking, you're joking."

Chen Daozhen smiled without saying a word.

The village chief said: "Actually, more than ten years ago, we also saw a few people coming out of the forest. Those people were all wearing strange clothes, and there were bells ringing when they walked. They looked very flamboyant. , giving people a feeling of superiority, and later they hurt people in our village, and our villagers drove them back to the forest."

Chen Daozhen looked at him.

The village head, the old god, said: "The reason why we don't leave is another reason is to guard this place, so that we can't let the weirdos from the land of no desire come out to harm people."

Chen Daozhen said with a smile: "The village chief is really benevolent."

The village chief proudly said: "We are poor and ambitious, so you should rest first, come to me when you have something to do, and eat what you have."

Chen Daozhen thanked him, sent the village head out, and closed the door.

The drunkard shook his head and asked doubtfully, "So, even if we enter the place of no desire, they might not be willing to save brother Jing?"

Chen Daozhen touched Jing Ji's face, and said without squinting: "It's not that simple."

Jiu Guitou and Lin Zixiao looked at each other, then looked at Chen Daozhen in a daze.

Chen Daozhen said: "Wu Mang has traveled back and forth between the two places many times over the years, but the village chief didn't mention anything, either he is hiding something from us, or Wu Mang is not following this path."

The drunkard head irritatedly said: "If the news about Pavilion Master Ye is wrong, maybe the Land of No Desire is not here at all, and I don't know where it is in the north and south."

Chen Daozhen helped Jing Ji up, carefully poured some water into his mouth, and said lightly: "The words of Pavilion Master Ye and Master Liu coincide with each other, so they are naturally more credible than this village chief who is full of lies. "

Lin Zixiao was surprised: "You mean the village chief is framing us?"

"Just frame us, I'm afraid he still wants to harm us." Chen Daozhen looked at Jing Ji with deep eyes, and his tone was full of indifference.

The drunkard jumped up in shock, and said anxiously: "There will be no problem with that cake, right?"

Chen Daozhen smiled and said: "Ordinary farmers have to think about killing pigs, let alone people? This cake is fine, you can eat it with confidence."

Having said that, the drunkard didn't even have the desire to eat. He shook his big head and asked, "Little master, tell me in detail what happened to the village chief?"

Chen Daozhen said: "Compared to this, you should do one thing for me first."
