A month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Duan Cang took Duan Hu, Duan Sanjin and Duan Xiaojie, with some collected spirit grass and hunted prey, and set foot on the road to Xiaoyun City. This time, there were two children in the village who were six years old and their father, they wanted to be a little bigger, but for safety, they waited for more than a month, and waited for Duan Sanjin to be six years old before they set off. Xiaobai didn't bring it either, after all, the journey is not short, and Xiaobai is too small.

Originally, Duan Cang was already old, and it had always been Duan Hu who led the team to the city, sold all the harvest, and bought some materials needed in the village. But this time, he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of spiritual base his grandchildren would awaken, so he personally led a group of eight people to drive an ox cart towards the city.

The ox cart contained the corpses of a few beasts they had caught a few days ago, as well as a few spirit grasses that were not very good. And his Qiankun bag was hidden in his arms, and there were several corpses in it that were not very large, but they were all first-order spirit beasts, as well as a few relatively good spirit grasses. Duan Cang has lived all his life, and half of his feet have already stepped into the grave, so he naturally knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, and he also understands the truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

Because they had to drive the ox carts, they didn't travel fast, and at their speed, they set off early in the morning, and when they arrived in the city, it was basically noon, so they looked for a place to eat, and went to sell things and awaken the spiritual base in the afternoon.

A few people chatted while hurrying, but it wasn't too boring. Sanjin and Xiaojie are both going out for the first time, and looking at everything on the side of the road feels very novel.

Halfway through the road, when I was about to pass through a small forest, four or five big men suddenly burst out of the woods and drank: "I planted this tree, I opened this road, if you want to cross from here, leave the road to buy money!" The first big man, shirtless, with a hideous and ugly face, bubbling with golden spiritual power, said: "Old guy, our brothers don't want much of your things, knowing that you are going to the city, and you don't have a lot of money in your pocket, let's take a look at the goods in your car, just take one or two pieces at will, and it won't hurt people, how?" When Duan Cang saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said, "Yes, please." "Then get out of the way.

Seeing this, the big man laughed, and was not very guarded, so he walked towards the ox cart. When he reached the ox cart, he stretched out his hand, lifted the rag covering the ox cart, and frowned when he saw what was on it. A few spirit grasses are okay, but those beast corpses are a bit big, and they don't have treasures like Qiankun bags. He picked up the three relatively good ones among the several spirit grasses, and then put down the rags: "That's all." Then he turned to beckon to a few of his companions, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Here, when a few robbers walked away, everyone's tense hearts relaxed. Duan Hu said: "Father, the three plants he took away are relatively good, they can be sold for hundreds of copper coins, why don't you speak, don't stop them, and let them take them away?" Duan Cang glared at Duan Hu and said, "It's still so frizzy, can't you be calmer!" The one on the other side obviously has a third-order strength, and among the remaining people, there are also a few second-order ones, and when it comes to fighting, we definitely don't have an advantage, and we don't lose a better spirit grass, and more importantly, we still have children here, and any injury is something we don't want to see. That's a good result, what do you want!"

Duan Hu was stunned for a moment, but he was still a little indignant: "Where did those guys come from, if it weren't for the children, I would definitely rush up and fight with them, and our Xiaoyun City is very safe, I haven't heard of thieves." Duan Cang glared again: "Your character, how can you succeed me as the head of our village? As for those guys, who knows where they came from." Stop whining, hurry up. ”

On the other side, several robbers ran for a while, then sat in the woods to rest, and one of them asked, "Big brother, why don't you give the order to kill them?" And I looked at their goods, a few beast corpses are too big, even if we grab them, it is not easy to take them, and I have also picked the best three of the spirit grass, so there is no need to fight them. "But why didn't that old guy stop you, and let the eldest brother take the best few spirit grasses with you? The eldest brother sneered: "Hehe, there are still a few children over there, they should be going to try to awaken the spirit base, once they do it, those children will be in danger, we both have scruples, so I didn't have any defenses when I walked towards the ox cart, because I knew that I would definitely not be able to fight!" The young man's face was abrupt, and he patted his ass: "Big brother is wise!"

Here, several people continued on their way. Sanjin walked up to Duan Cang's side and asked, "Grandpa, are those the robbers you mentioned?" But they are not very vicious, they say that if they don't hurt people, they won't hurt people, and they won't take away all our things when they say they take a little something. Duan Cang touched his head and said, "Three catties, you only see the appearance, think about it, what if we are all ordinary people with no spiritual power? Will they not hurt people? Won't they take all of our things away? It is precisely because they feel that our strength is not weak, so they don't go too far." That's why strength is the most important thing. Think about it again, if there are several third-order or even fourth-order people on our side, will they still take our things?" Sanjin suddenly realized: "That is because their strength is stronger than ours, so they dare to snatch our things." On the other hand, if our strength is stronger than theirs, they won't dare to snatch our things?" Duan Cang smiled kindly, Sanjin was indeed talented, and he could understand what he was talking about at once. Although there were other factors for those robbers to retreat this time, this did not prevent him from imparting the truth: "Yes, strength is the foundation of everything, if your strength is much stronger than theirs, then not only will they not dare to rob us, but they will be careful to apologize to us, because they will be afraid that you will kill them directly! At that time, you used your own strength to protect your grandfather, your father, your sister, and several other children." ”

At this moment, Sanjin's eyes became shining, and he told himself frantically: "I want to become stronger, I must not let others bully me, bully my grandfather, father, mother, two sisters, and everyone in the village!"

Next, the road was smooth and steady, and at noon, they arrived at Xiaoyun City. Seeing the towering city wall in front of him, Sanjin sighed: "It's so high, how long does it take to climb such a high city wall to go up!" Duan Cang said with a smile: "Xiaoyun City is a throat fortress, because behind it is a plain, there are many villages, towns and cities. Legend has it that about a thousand years ago, the forest next to us, that is, the spirit beast in the Shenyuan Forest launched a beast tide, breaking through the small cloud city, making the life in the plain area behind, and then we drove the spirit beast back to the forest, but we were afraid that they would launch the beast tide again, so the city wall of the small cloud city rebuilt again would be so high, but only this side is so high, about nearly forty meters, and the other sides are much lower. And this wall is said to have taken decades to build. "Then why did the beast tide start, and how did we beat them back?" asked Sanjin curiously. "I don't know about this, I've only heard about it, and if you want to know more, you'll have to find out for yourself in the future. ”

Everyone entered the city gate, and although there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate, they only asked briefly and did not stop anyone, and a few officers and soldiers closely observed the pedestrians. "It seems that the news of bandits near Xiaoyun City has already been transmitted, otherwise there are only a few officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, and they will not ask. "Duan Hu often comes, so the changes to the city gate are also quickly discovered.

Walking along the main road of the city, a few children are dizzy to watch, because there are so many shops around, and each one is called a dazzling one. Sanjin walked dizzily, and suddenly stopped in front of him, only to see a restaurant in front of him. "I haven't eaten in many years when I saw a noodle restaurant. Duan Cang said with emotion.

The ox cart stopped to the side and did not get in the way. A few people walked into the noodle restaurant, Duan Cang walked to a cabinet, and saw a slightly rich old man behind the cabinet, with a red face, closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't pay much attention to the noise in the hall.

Duan Cang snorted softly: "Old man, the old brother is here, don't you say hello?" He used his spiritual power to make this sound, and they didn't feel anything about the three catties and the surrounding guests, but the old man's body was shocked, and he felt a loud shout in his ears! He opened his eyes and looked at it, and suddenly showed surprise on his face, "Brother Duan, I really haven't seen you for a long time! Let's go, upstairs, I'm going to have a good drink today!" Then he turned his head in the direction of the back kitchen and said: " Signature noodles, first one person to a bowl, good meat also come up as soon as possible, and then take a few jars of good wine that I have treasured for several years, the old brother is here, I want to entertain well!"

After speaking, he walked out from behind the cabinet, slapped Duan Cang on the shoulder, and then pulled him to the second floor. Duan Cang was slapped in the face, and then he was dragged away, and then said: "Old man, you can be light, my old bones are about to be broken up by you." The old man laughed, and then saw that Sanjin and a few of them were still behind, and said, "You are all the juniors of the old man, come, come up, let's talk on the second floor." ”

On the second floor, a few people entered a private room, the layout is relatively elegant, but the space is large enough, and the dining table can accommodate more than a dozen people easily.

The old man sat with Duan Cang, and the other people sat casually. Duan Cang said: "This Song Cheng, we have been old friends for decades, so you will call him Song Lao." "Old Song. A salutation rang out. Song Cheng said, "These are your juniors?oh, this kid is your son, right?" Song Cheng looked at Duan Hu. "Yes, there is a shadow of you back then. Then he looked at Sanjin and the children. Duan Cang said: "Three catties, Xiaojie, I've seen your Grandpa Song." These two are my own grandchildren, and the other two are my juniors in our village. Sanjin thought to himself: "Didn't you just let me call Song Lao? Why did you become Grandpa Song again?" But he still called out with Xiaojie obediently: "Grandpa Song." Song Cheng smiled kindly, nodded and said, "Yes, they are all six years old? This time I came to awaken Lingji? It's okay, I will let go of my belly and eat it in a while, I will accompany you to the Awakening Hall in the afternoon to awaken, I have someone I know over there, and it is easy to communicate if there is anything." He didn't wait for Duan Cang to say anything, he had already finished speaking, and Duan Cang could only smile and nod.

As he spoke, all kinds of food had come up, everyone had a big bowl of noodles in front of them, and all kinds of meat came up on the table, obviously the meat of spirit beasts, and several jars of good wine. There was Xiaojie sitting next to Sanjin, and when the two of them smelled the fragrance of noodles, they already moved their index fingers and relished in their mouths. Everyone feasted. The three catties of their children ate a round belly, and they didn't even finish half of it. Duan Hu and the others all finished eating the noodles, and they were still sandwiching all kinds of meat on the table, and they were also very happy.

Duan Cang was dragged to drink two bowls of wine, and then stopped drinking, because he was going to awaken the spiritual foundation for the children in the afternoon, which was the most important thing to do in the city this time, and he couldn't delay it. Song Cheng didn't persuade him to drink much, but said, "You must have a good drink tonight, otherwise I won't let you go!" Duan Cang and the others originally had to sell goods after awakening the spiritual foundation for the children, and it was difficult to rush back at night, so they agreed.

Everyone was full of food and drink, and Song Cheng said, "Just finished eating, I will arrange for you to rest in the room for an hour, and then take you to the Awakening Hall." So he opened several rooms next to his hotel for everyone to rest. The goods brought by Duan Cang, Song Cheng also said that he bought all the meat at the market price. Lingcao: He will also help find buyers to buy. The two old guys sat together again to reminisce about the past, Sanjin and Xiaojie Duanhu in one room, and the other four in one room.

There were two beds in the room, and as soon as she entered the door, Duan Xiaojie looked at the big, clean and beautiful bed, so she threw herself over and lay on the bed: "It's so soft, it's so comfortable." Sanjin walked over and sat on the edge of her bed. Duan Xiaojie said: "Sanjin, this is my bed, you are not allowed to sit!" Sanjin said: "Sister, that bed belongs to Dad, Dad has to practice at night, and we may disturb his cultivation when we sleep next to him." We can't go back tonight anyway, and since you won't let me sleep, I'll sleep on the ground that night. Duan Xiaojie thought for a while and said, "That's right, Dad can't disturb his cultivation, and it's not okay for you to sleep on the ground, okay." Duan Hu looked at his two sons and daughters, listening to their conversation, and was also a little helpless. He usually leads the people in the village to go out to collect spiritual grass and hunt, and he spends most of his time cultivating at home, but today he still thinks about not cultivating and accompanying the children well, but they arranged themselves in two sentences. "Then let's cultivate, set a good example for the children, and let them work hard to cultivate in the future. So he walked to another bed, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate. The two children had not yet awakened the spiritual base, so they naturally couldn't cultivate, and when they saw their father start cultivating, they quieted down.
