Crucian carp cultivating immortals

The blue sky is thousands of miles away, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and a nursery rhyme sounds from far and near.

"The calf is barking, the kitten is meowing, and the puppy is gone..." The little girl was bouncing and singing along the path with a dog's tail grass in her hand, chatting with the old man and the boy behind her from time to time.

"Old man, I still don't understand..." Ji Yu looked at the old man in confusion.

The old man waved his hand, "Don't understand, everyone has their own ideas, there is no right or wrong, today we come out to relax, all the problems are thrown away, and we will go to the town in a while, we can see what we like, A child should look like a child." He stared at Ji Yu, "You know?"

Ji Yu raised her head and said seriously, "I'm not a child."

The old man laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Yes, you are not a child, you are a man." Seeing that the corners of Ji Yu's mouth were upturned, he couldn't help but said, "The man, have you ever been to the town to play?" Seeing Ji Yu Shaking his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger, "Since this is the case, let's take a stroll this time. There are many interesting places, and children... big men like it very much."

Hearing this, Ji Yu said solemnly with a small face, "I will like it."

The creases on the old man's smiling face were wrinkled together, like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom.

"Grandpa, grandpa, hurry up."

"coming."

Soon the three of them came to the town. It was about the opening of the market today, and there were so many people in the town.

"Selling candied haws, candied haws, big and sweet candied haws."

The little girl looked eagerly at the hawker not far ahead, swallowed, but turned her head to one side when passing by.When meeting the smiling eyes of the old man, he murmured, "This, I don't like it if it doesn't taste good." As if I had convinced myself, my tone became firm, "Well, I don't like it, really." While speaking, he swallowed his saliva, made a disgusted expression, and pushed the old man forward, "Hurry up, let's go sell medicine."

Ji Yu glanced back at the candied haws, then turned her head and left with the two of them.

"Gastrodia elata three catties and four liang, angelica two catties, Polygonum multiflorum...a whole number, four liang of silver, what do you think?" The shopkeeper of the pharmacy flipped the abacus, looked at the old man with a smile, and cupped his hands.

The old man nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The shopkeeper waved his hand, took out the silver from the counter and handed it to the old man, "Your medicinal materials are handled very well, and the appearance is also good, worth the price."

The three of them walked out of the pharmacy, and the little girl narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Since the little brother came, the money sold has also increased..."

When passing by the candied haws stall, the chattering little girl suddenly turned into a saw-mouthed gourd. She swallowed hard, kept silent, and rushed forward. Before she could get out, she was grabbed by the collar of her clothes. It's Grandpa, curling his lips, "Grandpa, we're going back soon."

The old man smiled and looked at the little girl without speaking. The little girl avoided the old man's eyes, rubbed her right foot on the ground, and said sullenly, "Let's go."

"Go and buy two candied haws." The old man knelt down and patted the little girl's head, "If you like it, buy it, grandpa has money." He said and stuffed the money to the little girl.

"But, but the house needs to be repaired..."

"Grandpa still has money, my little brother also wants to eat, you go and buy two, one for each of you." Said and blinked at Ji Yu.

The little girl looked at Ji Yu, looked eagerly at the candied haws shelf, nodded and took the money, "My little brother has been working hard recently, so give it to my little brother. I don't like candied haws, so I can buy one." She said. After that, he ran over to buy a candied gourd and handed it to Ji Yu, who took it. The round hawthorn was wrapped in red icing, the color was bright, and it looked very attractive.

Ji Yu took a bite, it tasted amazing, "Little... little brother, is it delicious?" The little girl asked, swallowing her saliva, Ji Yu nodded after thinking about it, and said seriously, "It's delicious."

"Gudong." The sound of swallowing saliva followed each time Ji Yu bit a hawthorn.The little girl's eyes followed the last hawthorn into her mouth, and when Ji Yu finished eating, the little girl subconsciously chewed a few times, her throat rolling, "It's delicious, actually I don't like this." Turning her head, as if nothing had happened Wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Oh, then I'll just throw it away." Ji Yu didn't know when he was holding a straw handle filled with candied haws, which means he bought all the candied haws from others, and didn't even put the sticks in it. Pass.

The little girl looked back and looked surprised, "Small, little brother, this..." She couldn't speak well, and seeing Ji Yu making a gesture to throw it, she rushed over and grabbed her, "Don't, don't, it's a waste to throw it away. , although I don't like to eat, but it's not good to waste, so..."

Seeing Ji Yu and the old man looking at her with a smile on her face, the little girl blushed, unable to speak any more, and rushed forward with her head buried in the candied haws pole...

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Small one, the little one was bought in the town this morning, when I was buying candied haws, my little brother exchanged it for a jade pendant."

"Brother? Is this what it looks like?" The man took out a portrait and asked.

"Yes, that's him." The candied haws boss tremblingly said.

"Then do you remember where he went?"

"At that time, he was with the grandparents of the Wang family. He should have gone to the Wang family, which is at the foot of Luofeng Mountain."

"Really?" the man caressed the jade pendant in his hand.

"Yes, the villain will never dare to lie."

"That's good." The man walked out of the yard, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and threw it by his feet, "Dispose of it." He left without looking back.

"Yes."

Waking up early in the morning, Ji Yu felt uneasy for some reason. She picked up the long sword and pinned it to her waist, and followed the old man up Luofeng Mountain. When she found that she was lost, the road was still the same road, and the road was not wrong, but every time she went down the road, she would return to the original point, like an endless loop, Ji Yu's heart tightened, knowing that what should come still came.

"This is an illusion." Ji Yu said seriously to the old man, "You can only go out if you break this illusion. I'm sorry, I have troubled you."

Hearing this, the old man waved his hands and smiled, "I haven't encountered anything at such an age, don't worry, there is nothing to be involved or not involved."

The little girl joined in the fun, "That's right, little brother, don't worry, just beat the bad guys away, grandpa is amazing."

Ji Yu's heart warmed up, and instead of talking too much, she concentrated on looking for the eyes, because she couldn't use her spiritual power and couldn't let go of her spiritual sense, so things became a little difficult.

Looking at the road up and down the mountain every day, Ji Yu fell into deep thought, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at the old man with bright eyes, "Since the illusion confuses our eyes, then we don't use them."

Hearing the words, the old man was stunned for a moment, then realized, and nodded with a smile, "I have been climbing this mountain for 30 years, and I am familiar with every road in it."

"Then let's go." After speaking, Ji Yu picked up the tired little girl who fell asleep, and led the old man, and the three of them returned to the peak and started again.

The old man led the way with his eyes closed, and Ji Yu followed closely behind with the little girl on his back. After shielding the visual interference, the direction the old man walked was unbelievable in the eyes of others. Back at the top of the peak, he kept walking towards the edge of the cliff, and when he came to Luofeng Cliff, he stepped into the void, the old man fell suddenly, and Ji Yu jumped down without hesitation.

After a period of trance, looking around, Ji Yu found that they had reached the foot of the mountain, and there was a small wooden house not far away, and the sky had already darkened.

"Papapapa" there was a burst of clapping, "As expected, you are worthy of being the disciple of Daoist Qingping, I know that this little trick will not be difficult for you."

As soon as Ji Yu heard this voice, she knew that it was Zhao Xuan who came, "Zhao Xuan, you are here to find me, don't hurt the innocent."

"How could I hurt innocent people?" Zhao Xuan said softly, "A cultivator should not hurt ordinary people. I still remember this rule."

"That's good, old man, you take your daughter and go first, and I'll come later." Ji Yu led the old man and instructed, the hard object in the palm of her hand followed by the opportunity to hold hands quietly slipped over.

The old man looked at the situation in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "You are still young, the old man is already old, he is so old, he can't live for a few years, just leave it to me, you take your daughter and go." See Ji Yu Frowning, he continued, "Now... I was very good when I was young, and I was invincible all over the world. Don't worry, I will leave it to you, and now it's the young people's world." Then he moved forward. Going closer, Ji Yu didn't expect to be grabbed by Ji Yu. Ji Yu glanced at Zhao Xuan who was looking at them jokingly from the opposite side, and shook his head at the old man with the malice and sarcasm of a cat scratching a mouse.

"I will fight my battle, because I started it, so I will end it." After a pause, he looked at the old man with firm eyes, "My daughter needs you, she only has grandpa."

The old man froze on the spot and clenched his hands, silent for a moment, "You have to be careful." He turned and left with his daughter on his back.

Seeing the old man walking away, Ji Yu felt relieved, looked at Zhao Xuan, "Come on."

Zhao Xuan smiled, "Do you really think it's that simple?" Looking at Ji Yu's peaceful face, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, what would happen if this peace was torn apart?Thinking about it, there was a tricky smile on the corner of his mouth, "I said I won't kill them, but that doesn't mean I won't send someone."

Ji Yu frowned, raised her hand to smooth it again, and looked straight at Zhao Xuan opposite, "What do you want?"

"Yeah, what do I think? Well, let's play a game. There are 43 people here, and forty are mortals who are specially used to deal with mortals. The other two plus I am a monk, now there are two Choices, one, you and I one on one, and the rest to deal with the grandparents, you may accidentally lose your mind. Two, you and me one on three, the remaining forty mortals to deal with the grandparents, oh , I almost forgot that those forty mortals are only one step away from the innate realm. Which one do you choose?" Zhao Xuan looked at Ji Yu with malice in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"A pair of 43s, come on."
