east corner

Yuezhou Prefecture.

Located in the south of Weiguo, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a fertile land.

Returning to stay on the mountain all the time, although Shen Lan stayed in Yaochuan for a long time, but after leaving Yaochuan, he was taken directly to Lanke Mountain. Different, the two looked around, somewhat curious in their eyes.

It was the time when there were many people on the street, Chong Gui followed closely behind Gong Wu Nian while dragging Shen Lan who wanted to rush out when she saw anything.Coincidentally, what happened in front was bustling, a large group of people rushed in, seeing Gong Wunian's figure separated by several people, subconsciously called out: "Master..."

Before he could yell out, he saw Gong Wunian turning his head and reaching out to hold his wrist. The next moment, Gong Wunian and Chong Gui were brought to the eaves by Gong Wunian.

Returning to look up at Gong Wunian: "Master, where are we going?"

Gong Wunian glanced at the place where the crowd was densest, and when he looked back at him with a smile in his eyes, he said, "No hurry. You go and see what happened there first, and let me know later."

After finishing speaking, he held Chonggui's hand and gently pulled it. Chonggui felt his whole body pounced forward, and when he regained consciousness, he was already in the center of the crowd.

Only Gong Wunian and Shen Lan remained on the eaves.

Shen Lan was a little puzzled: "Master, you are..."

Gong Wunian looked at the somewhat helpless Returning standing in front of the crowd, and said nothing.

Returning, he was pushed to the place where the crowd was the densest below, and he was so crowded that he couldn't move. He was still a little dazed, but the mother-in-law next to him slapped him on the shoulder: "Silly boy, pick it up quickly! This is a gift from the Lord Fujun. If you miss this meeting, you don’t know when the next time will be!"

Returning to the ground following what her mother-in-law pointed at, she realized that a lot of brown paper was scattered on the ground, and people crowded here like crazy just to pick up this kind of paper.

He bent down with difficulty, squeezed past the people next to him to pick up a few, and asked the mother-in-law just now: "Grandma, what is this?"

He read it over and over twice, but it was just a piece of paper without words, and he didn't see anything special.

The mother-in-law was busy picking up the paper, and said to him: "You don't know what this is? You are a foreigner. Our Lord's moon paper is unique to Yuezhou Prefecture. Let's just write all the words on the paper. If you wish, just drop a drop of fingertip blood, and your wish will come true."

Zhonggui frowned slightly, and looked at the crazy crowd: "So many people, so many papers, no matter what you write, can this Lord Fu realize it?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "How can that be? Wouldn't that be a fairy? If you are an ordinary person, you can't become a wealthy family overnight. But if you want to find a good job, you wrote it the day before. You can find an opportunity in two days."

Returning to ask again: "Then what if I want a bag of money for writing?"

The mother-in-law said: "No way, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Someone wrote it in the first place, but when they get a bag of money, they will inevitably lose something. What the Lord Fujun said, what you gain must be lost , I heard that someone once wrote on a piece of paper asking for a sack of silver, but the next day there was indeed a bag of silver in the yard, but one of his arms disappeared. Whoops, that person used his own arm to replace A sack of silver."

The papers in the place were quickly robbed, and there were still many questions to ask my mother-in-law when I came back, and I promised to give the papers in my hand to my mother-in-law, and invited her to sit at the nearby tea shop.

Gong Wunian and Shen Lan were still standing on a high place, they had been silent for a long time.For some reason, Shen Lan always didn't know how to open his mouth to talk to this master when Hui Gui was not around.Even though he looked so kind, without any air of condescension or alienation, it just made Shen Lan feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Gong Wunian looking down at the dispersed crowd, he asked, "Shen Lan, why did the three of us go down the mountain?"

"Ah?" Shen Lan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "Master, you have something to do, and you have to go down the mountain to practice. Naturally, I want to repay your kindness. Master, why do you suddenly ask..."

"If I have nothing to do when I go down the mountain, it's not for experience when I go back down the mountain, and you don't go down the mountain to repay your kindness. Then what are we here on earth for?"

Shen Lan was dumbfounded by the question. He opened his mouth and looked at Gong Wunian in a daze. He thought about his words twice before tentatively opening his mouth: "But... returning to the mountain to practice is because Elder Pang feels that he is useless in cultivation. Jinyi thinks that he will have new insights when he comes out to practice, and I repay the favor... because returning to the previous life saved my life, and you naturally have your reasons. It is precisely because of this that we will go down the mountain together."

Gong Wunian turned his head to see his blank look, smiled and shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I just asked casually. As you said, the three of us standing here today have our own reasons, otherwise we We won’t go down the mountain together. Just now you told the story of the unknown general, I still have a few questions to ask you.”

"Master, please tell me."

Gong Wunian asked: "Before that unknown general slaughtered the demons, did anything happen to the demons? What happened to Ejiyuan? Or, did the demons do anything to Ejiyuan?"

"This..." Shen Lan frowned and thought about it carefully: "The demons have always done a lot of evil. At that time, the unknown general said that, it must be that the demons had something to do with Eijiyuan. Otherwise, they would not be exterminated. Really. If there is anything involved, I don't know. Even my parents, brothers and sisters have never heard of it."

"That is to say, in the past 200 years, no one knew that the Demon Race and Eijiyuan were involved?"

"exactly."

Going forward, Gong Wunian has not retreated yet, he has lived long enough, and he has never heard that the demon clan and Eijiyuan are involved.But 200 years ago, there were constant wars in this world, and evil spirits everywhere. Gong Wunian remembered that he had been out cleaning up evil spirits for a long time.

Later he went to retreat... He vaguely remembered that after the evil spirits raging in the world were roughly cleaned up, he went to retreat.But how did the evil spirits all over the place appear, how were they completely cleaned up afterwards, and why did he go to retreat?

If Gong Wunian doesn't think about it, it's all right, but when he thinks about it this way, he doesn't have much impression.

Then 100 years after the retreat, a powerful person who could kill a whole family appeared and killed the demons.Then he woke up again, and the world had returned to peace.

Everything in the world is running, interlocking. Every word and deed has an antecedent and a consequence.

But Gong Wunian was standing here just now, thinking of what Shen Lan said on the road, his mind became confused for a moment, and those questions that he hadn't thought about after leaving the customs suddenly came to the fore.

He always felt that there was something wrong.

Gong Wunian shook slightly, he suddenly felt a strong dull pain in his heart, pulling him back from his thoughts.

He couldn't figure out this question for a while, so he could only think about it slowly.

Over there, after Chonggui finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Yinuo gave the note in his hand to her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law looked at him with some hesitation: "You... really don't want these, give them to me."

"Yes." Chonggui pushed the note towards her mother-in-law again.

The mother-in-law took the paper with a smile on her face, thanked her a few times, got up and left.

The money was given to the owner of the tea shop, and when he looked up, Gong Wunian landed with Shen Lan in his arms.

"Finished?"

Returning nodded: "Well, I've finished asking."

"Okay. Then find a quiet place and talk to me in detail."
