"Mingxi! We're just going out! The world outside is unimaginably big. Why do you just look at the passage and jump to conclusions? It's the equivalent of a small house......!

"Is it the world when you go out?" Master, take me out!" the firebird urged excitedly.

Ever since this little guy learned to speak, his mouth has never stopped. To be precise, it hasn't stopped since it started to scream.

So Qianqian simply gave it a name "Mingxi", and revealed a secret to Xiao Yi, this little firebird was actually a girl.

"Wait to say hello to the master, let's go to Jiaoyuan first. After all, your brother Wei hasn't been home for a long time. Originally, I promised him to let him come out for three days every year, but because you want to absorb the leyline firepower, he hasn't been able to come out all these years. ”

Hearing this, Naruto hid her head under her wings. If it weren't for the body's urgent need for the spiritual power of this earthfire, she would have wanted to come out and see the world a long time ago. Because she was too noisy, Xiao Yi and Qianqian were also noisy. In the end, the arduous task of chatting with Mingxi was handed over to Wei Wuxi.

A day later, Xiao Yi's flying boat finally arrived in Jiaoyuan. has not appeared in the mortal city for a long time, which makes Xiao Yi somewhat nostalgic for the noisy crowded market.

"Master, can you let me go out for a walk too? Now that Brother Wei has also gone home, there is no one to fight with Mingxi, you can't let me be a stupid bird, right? At the beginning, Brother Wei said that there are a lot of delicious foods and fun things here. You can't bear ......"

"Qianqian! Let's go back and get rid of the disease! This child is too noisy! I think it's easier to let the disease-free take care of her!"

Xiao Yi also ignored Mingxi's emotion, and said with a deep heart.

"Brother Xiao, that kid just went home, shouldn't we call him back now?" or ...... Come back to him tomorrow!or...... This afternoon, I reckon two hours should be enough. ”

Xiao Yi was actually just talking, but from Qianqian's words, he already felt that Qianqian's patience should have reached the limit. If Qianqian had been with Mingxi for hundreds of thousands of years, then it is estimated that she would have considered blowing herself up to seek relief.

"Forget it, I'm just talking. But when do you think she'll be able to transform? It's not going to have to wait thousands of years, is it?"

Qian Qian was silent for a long time when she heard this, and finally said helplessly: "Brother Xiao, she is just a cultivator in the Terran Qi cultivation period now. It stands to reason that she can be regarded as a different species of heaven and earth, but it is the first time I have encountered such a low cultivation. ”

Xiao Yi walked to a restaurant, ordered two side dishes, and looked at the crowd on the street with his own drink, his mind immersed in the communication with Mingxi and Qianqian.

"Shopkeeper, this is last month's wine money. There were four silver coins and eleven copper coins. You click ......"

A middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter appeared at the counter, took a few coins from his sleeve and placed them on the counter.

"Yes, no more, no less! That's right! By the way, old brother, Neiko went back to her parents' house some time ago, and brought back a jar of apricot blossoms from home, and when you go back, bring some back. It's not a famous wine, but it's made by my father-in-law, so you can take it back and taste it fresh. ”

As the shopkeeper Zhao Hongnian spoke, he took out a small wine jar from behind him and handed it to Nian Zhong. The woodcutter has no other hobbies, and his favorite thing is the contents of this cup. In the early years, drinking hurt his eyes, and although he was barely able to recognize the road and recognize people at this time, he still refused to give up his hobby.

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled. Where will it be ordinary wine in your house? This bottle of incense really makes Nian Zhong happy, anyway, I can't wait to go home, please help me get a plate of spiced beans, and then burn a clam, I will satisfy your hunger here. ”

Nian Zhong took the wine jar and turned around to find a vacant seat and sat down. Without waiting for Xiao Er to bring the cup, he opened the wine jar and drank a big sip by himself.

Nian Zhong casually glanced in Xiao Yi's direction, and everyone knew that he couldn't see, so no one else paid attention to his unconscious movements. But it was this move that aroused Xiao Yi's vigilance.

"How can you feel like this? This person is not simple! Although he can't feel the spiritual power of a cultivator, he can't find the true qi of a martial artist. But his glance made me involuntarily alert. ”

Xiao Yi didn't turn his head to look at Nian Zhong, but his divine sense never left the other party's range.

After the middle of the year was full of wine and food, he went home with a wine jug. Xiao Yi took the money for the meal, and then quietly followed Nian Zhong towards the outside of the city.

"A woodcutter costs four silver coins a month for wine, which is a bit too much everywhere. ”

Xiao Yat was very puzzled by the cost of Nian Zhong. The average woodcutter is busy for a month without eating or drinking, which is almost seven or eight silver coins. This person has a disability in both eyes, but he still has to spend most of his income to buy alcohol, which makes Xiao Yi a little puzzled.

Before following Nian Zhong's house, a sound of joy came from the room. A girl of seven or eight years old ran out of the room, she took Nian Zhong's flask, and helped him slowly into the room.

"Daddy! Ling'er hatched three chicks today. In a few months, we'll have eggs to eat. A-Niang got out of bed today and cooked red bean rice for Ling'er, which was fragrant. Ling'er left a big bowl for her father, and Uncle Huang next door also sent two salted fish......"

The little girl helped Nian Zhong into the door while chattering about what happened today. Nian Zhong took out a paper bag from his arms and said with a smile: "Ling'er, Daddy bought two pieces of peach cake in the city today." Wait for you to eat with your mother. ”

Xiao Yi stood far away at the entrance of the village, smiling at the father and daughter not far away.

"I am addicted to alcohol, I have a wife and daughter at home, and buying peach cakes for my children shows that I am worried about my family, and I should not be a person who is blindly greedy for cups. Who the hell is he?"

When Nian Zhong arrived home and changed his clothes, Qi Ling had already prepared a good face wash for him. In addition to a pot of wine, a bowl of bean rice, a bowl of steamed salted fish, and a small plate of shredded sea vegetables were also placed on the table in the hall.

"Daddy, Ling'er will make you another stir-fried greens!"

Nian Zhong hurriedly stopped her actions and said with relief: "Okay Ling'er, don't be busy, it's enough for Daddy to have this wine and these dishes." Tomorrow, Daddy will go into the city to pull a piece of flower cloth for you, Ling'er is older, and Daddy should also prepare a few big girl's clothes for my Ling'er. ”

Hearing this, Qi Ling was shy for a while, then ran to the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a cloth bag.

"Daddy! Today, Ling'er was collecting medicine on the mountain and met an old fairy. He said that Ling'er had a strong spirit, and specially gave Ling'er a few spirit runes and some pills. Daddy is the busiest every day, so Ling'er thinks that these should be left for Daddy to use. ”

Nian Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then took the package and said pityingly: "Ling'er, daddy doesn't need these, you and your mother can keep them later." ”

Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile. This scene of father's kindness and filial piety also touched him a lot. It's just a pity that his appearance today broke all this. However, if you don't find out about the existence of the other party, I'm afraid that many people will be affected by it in the future.

Since this woodcutter is the only one who has a problem, then I will wait until tomorrow when this person comes out alone.

After a night of silence, the genius was bright, and Nian Zhong took a firewood knife to chop wood after breakfast. The spirit just habitually sent it to the door, and went back to serve the newly hatched chicks yesterday.

Yaoyao followed Nian Zhong to the mountain, and seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yi instantly released the spiritual pressure, ready to investigate after his body was restrained.

It's just that the spiritual pressure is released to come and go, and he is a dignified infant monk, and he actually didn't restrict Nian Zhong's actions at all.

"Who the hell are you?"

Xiao Yi's voice sounded, but this cold drink did not make Nian Zhong show the slightest surprise.

"There's a woodcutter down there. Can't this boy see it?"

Nian Zhong looked puzzled, although he couldn't see Xiao Yi's appearance clearly, but there should be no mistake in this direction.

"Woodcutter, if you are an ordinary woodcutter, you should not be able to move. How can Your Excellency be an ordinary woodcutter?"

Xiao Yi showed his figure, and slowly approached Nian Zhong vigilantly. A spiritual flame rose in his hand, but even if he acted like this, he still didn't notice the slightest abnormality of the other party after all.

"This ...... Senior, can you let me say a few more words?"

Before Xiao Yi could get close to Nian Zhong, a clear voice sounded behind him. I heard this voice yesterday, but it seems to be very close to me.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Yi moved two feet in an instant, and looked fixedly, and sure enough, Qi Ling was standing not far behind him.

"The predecessors really comprehended the Terran exercises, which is really gratifying. In the next year, he has lived here with his family for thousands of years, and has no intention of fighting and killing, and hopes that his predecessors can understand the helplessness of the subordinates. Let's live quietly with my family!"

The little girl has a senior, which makes Xiao Yi feel inexplicable. What kind of cultivation is the other party? How can he not sense it?

Seeing Xiao Yi staring at him expressionlessly, Qi Ling slowly walked to Nian Zhong's side and said with relief: "Don't worry, Daddy, everything will be handled by Ling'er." ”

So he stood in front of Nian Ling and said firmly: "Ling'er! Everything is Daddy's fault! If the seniors want to punish him, then let Daddy bear it." ”

Without waiting for Qi Ling to object, Nian Zhong took a step forward and said to Xiao Yi: "Awakening the Demon Cave Nian Zhong escaped from the Demon God team, it is really a crime and deserves death. I hope that the seniors can bring the punishment to a certain person in the year, whether it is the sea of magic flames or the ten thousand Gu devouring bodies, Nian is willing to bear it alone. I also hope that my predecessors can let go of my wife and daughter, and let them live in this world for a while longer. ”

Although Xiao Yi was at a loss in his heart, there was no expression on his face.

"It seems that these two people, together with the sick woman at home, are the meticulous work of the demon clan hidden in this realm. Let me come out and deal with them! Your spiritual power has little effect on them, and it is the right way to punish them with my demonic energy. ”

The demon baby in the body suddenly opened his mouth at this time, which made Xiao Yi a little surprised. Over the years, the demon baby has been immersed in self-cultivation and has never taken the initiative to appear. Now that the demon baby has actually come out to ask for battle, it is clear that he has seen some signs.

"In this case, let's return to your place together, and what the specific reason is, let's talk about it first. ”

Although Xiao Yi was still a little confused at this time, he couldn't show it. Fortunately, the other party didn't notice anything wrong, so he led the way back home.

When Nian heard that her husband had returned with her daughter, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. But she didn't panic, and groped her way out of the inner room into the hall.

The three of them stood nervously opposite Xiao Yi, but the nervous appearance of their family made Xiao Yi feel a little awkward. So he beckoned them to sit down and speak slowly.

"How can there be a reason for the senior to sit down in front of him? ”

Nian Zhong was out of awe of himself, but this awe made it difficult for Xiao Yi to adapt. So he said softly, "It doesn't matter if you sit or not. But your wife and children are standing with you, and you are a little reluctant to go. I think if you insist on not sitting today, then they will have to stand with them all the time. Your wife is not in good health, and your daughter is still young. You think it doesn't matter if you can't bear to let them do this. ”

Nian Zhong had no choice but to sit down with his wife and daughter. Xiao Yi took out a wine jar and handed it to Nian Zhong. This is the royal wine of Beiji, which is naturally different from ordinary wines.

Nian Zhong nervously took a sip of wine, and then he felt better.

"Tell me, where did you come from, when did you get here, and how did you hide your cultivation?"

Nian Zhong took another sip of wine, and then said slowly......

Nian Zhong was originally a demon cultivator in the Demon Awakening Cave. Three thousand years ago, the Demon Domain Passage was opened, and Nian Zhong joined the army of invading Terrans as a Demon Cultivator.

In fact, it is also extremely difficult for Nian Zhong to be able to marry Dan, and just one magic flame of Yudan almost cost his life. So he began to find his other half, not only to continue his bloodline, but also to enjoy his own life before the next passage opened.

Fortunately, he found his own happiness, and with the help of countless pills, he finally had a child of his own. But at this time, the Demon Domain Passage opened, and he had no choice but to follow the army to invade the Terrans.

Nian Zhong, who had no intention of fighting, unexpectedly discovered that although there was no demonic energy in this session, there was also no trouble with the demonic calamity. So he left the team and returned to the Demon Domain, and quietly brought his wife and daughter to the Qingyuan Continent.

It's just that this world is not suitable for the survival of the demons, and just after entering, his wife was blinded and could never see what this world looked like. Fortunately, her daughter is still an adult, so she barely adapted to the surrounding environment under the nourishment of a lot of elixirs.

So in this way, in this family, the daughter is almost no different from ordinary people, and she can barely see some things. It's just that they have an infinite lifespan in this realm, and if they don't get sick and die, they are almost immortal.

They change their dwellings every few years, and in the past 3,000 years, there have been hundreds of villages and towns that have migrated. This Jiaoyuan City is already the fourth time to live, after all, the life of mortals in this realm is limited, and returning to settle down again after four or five hundred years will not arouse the suspicion of the people around them.

"I see that your daughter is only seven or eight years old, but I didn't expect to be three thousand years old. ”

Xiao Yi looked at the little girl in Nian's arms, and asked curiously.

"Back to my predecessors. I've been suppressing the demonic qi in the little girl's body, so she hasn't developed normally all this time. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this in Nian's opinion. If the little girl wants to grow up in the future, it's a big deal that Nian sends her back to the Demon Domain, as long as she reabsorbs the Demon Qi, she should be able to restore the Demon Physique. Just ......"

"No! Daddy can't return to the Demon Realm under any circumstances! This realm can escape the Demon Tribulation! Once Daddy returns to the Demon Domain, then the Shouyuan Demon Tribulation will come! I don't want it! I don't want Ling'er to grow up! I want Daddy to accompany Ling'er's mother, I don't want anything to grow up!"

The little girl spoke sincerely, and even Xiao Yi, an outsider, could feel her emotional excitement.

"You can't get to the Demon Domain!"

Xiao Yi said casually, but this sentence sounded like thunder in the ears of the Nian family's father and daughter.

"Seniors! I don't have to worry about life and death, I hope that my seniors can let Nian's wife and daughter go, and Nian Zhong is willing to bear all the punishments. ”

Although Nian Zhong's words were impassioned, this sounded quite interesting to Xiao Yi.

"You're mistaken, I'm not saying to erase you. It's just that when you return to the Demon Domain, I'm afraid that as soon as you enter the passage, you will attract a demonic calamity. So before you enter the Demon Realm, I'm afraid that this life will fall. Your daughter's Shouyuan Heavenly Tribulation should also come at the same time, I'm afraid she won't be able to resist it, right?"

Hearing what Xiao Yi said, Nian Zhongden stood on the spot. Although he is a Demon Realm cultivator, he still has very little understanding of this Demon Tribulation. If he really took his daughter into the passage, I am afraid that he would have to bury his daughter's life with his own hands.

"Do the seniors have demonic qi beads? As long as you can help the little girl successfully advance, then even if you are a cow or a horse, you will never give up!"

Xiao Yi looked at the three people in front of him, and then asked, "As a demon race, do you think you can survive in this realm? After all, this realm is the spiritual realm space of the human race demon cultivator, how can you continue to survive?"

"Senpai!"

Nian Zhong didn't know where the courage came from, he stood up suddenly, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yi, stroked his chest with his right hand, and said resolutely: "Nian Zhong swore to the Demon Venerable! If the seniors can help the little girl advance to cultivation, he is willing to become the master's demon servant in this life!

Nian Zhong's resoluteness made Xiao Yi also a little moved. This is a father's duty to his children without hesitation, whether the other party is a human demon cultivator or a demon race, this is an emotion beyond identity. Although he has compassion, the other party is a demon after all, which does not allow him to hesitate.

"I have a way to help your daughter. But it takes all three of you to be tested at the same time. This test can be said to be worse than death, but I am afraid that you will not be able to persevere to the end. I don't know ......."

"Senior! As long as you can help the little girl grow up, then Nian Zhong is willing to accept any test from her seniors!"

Although Nian Zhong said it was very decisive, Xiao Yi set his eyes on Nian and the little girl.

Although Nian's cultivation was insufficient, she also wanted to agree. Unexpectedly, Qi Ling opened his mouth to protest: "No! Daddy can't take risks for Ling'er! Neither can my mother! As long as the seniors promise not to embarrass Daddy and Daddy, then Ling'er is willing to bear all the punishments for Daddy and Daddy!"
