That night, the gray robe and the three of them came to He Ji.

He Sijiu was unwilling, but he still took out twenty gold coins and handed them to Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Gongzi, it is said that everything in this store is yours, and the old man should not talk too much. But these people are obviously cheaters, how can there be any evil monsters in our store? It's clear that they want to eat white food, why do you still provoke them to come over and do it? Originally, they would lose at most two or three silver coins for dim sum, but now they still have to spend these ......."

He Sijiu's chest was bored, and he turned around and went back to his room and didn't come out again. Xiao Yat instructed his men to move the table and place a long case in the middle of the lobby. Ding Cheng and another companion, Cao Xing, took out two wooden plates and placed the sacrificial incense candles on the table.

The first middle-aged man with a rat whisker walked to the altar with an ebony sword, took out a yellow talisman from his waist and lit it on the candlestick. With a wave of his hand, a yellow talisman burned and danced in the air, the wooden sword stabbed, and a yellow talisman pierced the tip of the sword. The middle-aged man opened a gourd and handed it to the middle-aged man, but he just nodded slightly, tilted his neck and took half of his mouth. Seeing that the flame of the yellow talisman at the tip of the sword decreased, the rat-bearded man spewed out a piece of wine, and a fireball suddenly rose in the hall. Just when everyone thought that the magic stick performance was about to end, the rat-bearded man waved his hand and lit the fire in mid-air.

"Whew!"

The mid-air fire ball turned into a flaming tiger head, opening its bloody mouth and biting fiercely into the void. The expressions of the people who were shocked by this sudden change changed drastically, and they did not slow down for a long time.

"Alright, the evil has been removed, and it's all right. ”

The rat-whiskered man put away his wooden sword and walked around the long case to the gate. Seeing this, the middle-aged man also hurriedly chased out.

"Boss, things are all taken care of. You look at the rest of ......"

Xiao Yi smiled and handed over the twenty gold coins to the gray-robed young man, and the other party wanted to settle the dim sum money at noon, but Xiao Yi refused.

The young man hugged his fists and thanked him and chased out of the gate, leaving only two fellows talking about the miracle that had just happened. Xiao Yi playfully watched the gray figures of the three gradually fade away, and the corners of his mouth showed a subtle smile.

In the middle of the night, the three of them were drunk in the inn, and they felt good about being able to earn gold coins so easily today.

When I was half asleep and half awake, I felt that someone was moving me, although my posture was not very comfortable, but I was too lazy to move. When the golden rooster broke dawn, he felt a little uncomfortable on his face. The rat-whiskered man reached out to scratch his face, but felt his arm being pressed behind him and couldn't move.

Qiu ...... Yi, what's going on......? for the arm of the teacher...... How do you ......" The rat-bearded man muttered a few words, sobered up violently, and his stomach full of wine instantly turned into a cold sweat.

"You're in good shape! I woke up so quickly. Xiao Yi looked at the other party playfully, holding a dagger in his hand, slowly peeling off an apple and slowly putting it in his mouth under the face towel.

"Uncle, the little one is wrong. You...... If you always ask for anything, the small ones will do it. ”

Xiao Yat didn't answer, and the rat-whiskered man was embarrassed and poured out everything that should be said and not said. He only hoped that his attitude would be better, so that Xiao Yat could be magnanimous and spare himself. Since the other party dares to kidnap even the immortals, it is obvious that the threat will not work.

It turned out that this person's name was Tao Ye, and he got the cultivation inheritance by chance, although it was also considered hard work, but in the end, he only mixed into a second-order casual cultivator in the Qi cultivation period. For decades, he was despised by the Damen faction and bullied by Xiuzhen Sanxiu. Although he also tried to form a team and form a gang to protect himself several times, he was the only one who escaped for his life. Five years ago, when he met Miao Yuan, who was also a second-order qi practitioner, the two of them were called brothers. Speaking of which, he is still looked down upon, but there are always a few unsightly casual cultivators who cast envious eyes. After going back and forth, even the two of them were gradually blinded by lies, and their confidence became more and more sufficient, but they also accepted a few die-hard mortal followers.

From then on, the two only wanted to find a happy life in the secular world, and did not dare to show off in the court barracks with what they had learned. As cultivators, they also know how many related taboos. Without the protection of the sect, too much ostentatiousness can only lead to death.

In the past two years, the two have moved around each other, giving people the illusion that the sect is ordinary and the world is in the world. Casual cultivation is still casual cultivation, but life is much better. In a few more days, the two of them will be able to purchase a low-level storage bag for Miao Yuan. With this stuff, you don't have to worry about your luggage being too cumbersome.

As he spoke, the middle-aged man named Miao Yuan woke up slowly, and Xiao Yi pressed his hand his neck to calm down again. Tao Ye ignored everything that happened, and told the two of them about their cultivation experience.

"Open your storage bag and pour out all the contents. ”

Xiao Yi threw a small cloth bag he had found earlier on the ground, this thing he felt was commonplace, but in Tao Ye's eyes, it seemed to see hope.

He said yes, carefully moved to the side of the storage bag, and touched the storage bag with his fingers behind his back. In an instant, there was a mess scattered on the ground.

Xiao Yi saw that there were books and gold coins inside, as well as some porcelain bottles and dry food wine pots, and the most annoying thing was that there were actually two straw mats inside. Xiuzhen got mixed up to this step, and these two liars were really miserable.

Xiao Yi picked up two books, namely "Danxia Lu" and "Five Qi Tianyuan". Hastily flipped it over and glanced at it, and the crude methods of alchemy and qi training were recorded respectively. Xiao Yi looked at it casually, and said casually: "Don't bother with it, this rope is not something that can be cut by ordinary swords." ”

Tao Ye was startled when he heard this, and a dagger fell with a "snap" behind him. This is what he secretly hid in his hand when he just took out the item, watching Xiao Yi being attracted by the book, Tao Ye quietly cut the rope on his wrist with a dagger, but he didn't expect all this to be seen by Xiao Yi.

"Uncle, uncle, spare your life! The little one was blinded by lard just now, I ......" Tao Ye still wanted to explain, but was stopped by Xiao Yi with a look.

"What's in there? ”

Tao Ye looked frightened, trembling and picking up the cloth bag again, eleven five-colored translucent stones appeared on the ground, and there were two corpses with no scars.

"Tell me, I want to hear it. ”

"Uncle, listen to me. These low-grade spirit stones were kept for the junior brother to buy storage bags. The cultivation realm is different from the mundane, and can only trade spirit stones. The cheapest of my storage bag is fifteen of these spirit stones. I didn't take it out just now because it can't be circulated in the world. As for these two corpses, they are cultivators who intercepted and killed us before. I was afraid that I would be found out and chased by their relatives and friends, so I kept hiding in a storage bag. Although this thing cannot hold a living person, the things placed in it will not become moldy and spoiled. ”

Xiao Yi flipped through the book and said, "Take out all the things inside." "Then I turned the pages and looked at it.

"Uncle, no, really no. This time, the little ones didn't dare to hide their secrets, and they really took them all out. ”

Tao Ye was about to cry aggrieved, and he wanted to say something when he saw a white light flashing in front of him, and his forehead was deeply inserted by a dagger.

Tao Ye's body twitched a few times, but he no longer reacted. Xiao Yi stepped forward and strangled the remaining two to death on the spot.

Taking out a piece of gray coarse cloth, Xiao Yi selected gold coins, spirit stones, and porcelain vases and herbs from the ground and put them into it, and finally put the two books together and carefully wrapped them. As for the blade or something, Xiao Yi couldn't look at it, and after scanning around, he didn't notice anything wrong, so he walked out the door.

rushed back to He Ji's room, and at this time there was a man with the same appearance lying on the couch. Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the person on the bed disappeared.

"One more use, only one more time left. Xiao Yi picked up the stand-in wooden figure and gently pressed it to his chest. He doesn't have the help of his uncle now, and this stand-in wooden man can be used up to three times, and now the second chance has also been used......

"Young Master Xiao, are you up?"

It was almost noon, He Sijiu went back to the room to deliver food to his mother-in-law, and passed by the door of Xiao Yi's room and happened to see him washing.

"Uncle Ho, I'm sorry! I didn't feel well last night, and I slept a little deeper. I thought someone would call me when I opened the store, but I didn't expect it to be so late when I woke up. Xiao Yi hung up the face towel and smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's okay! Young people sleep more will be good for their bodies. I used to sleep until the sun went down! But now I can't, I'm old and light. Two hours of sleep a night is a lot. Don't look at the fact that I can't sleep at night, I can't wake up during the day! I'm dazed all day long, and I'm really old, and I can't compare to that year. He Sijiu smiled bitterly, his face showing his memories of the old days.

"Uncle said with a smile, where are you old now? The shopkeeper on the street, I think you can live and understand. It's okay to drink tea, the wind doesn't blow, the rain doesn't get drenched, Aunt Feng is sensible and capable, you can recruit a son-in-law tomorrow, you just wait to enjoy the blessings...... No, I didn't go to the front today, what happened to the dim sum?" Xiao Yi said with a big mouth, suddenly remembering that he hadn't taken care of the business.

"Xiao Gongzi, what are you talking about? No delay! Didn't you also say that Feng Gu can do it? Today I said that you are short here, so Feng Gu took the initiative to make dim sum. Business is still generally good today, and it should be sold out in a while. ”

He Sijiu is not hard-mouthed, he has been working for more than half a year, and He Fenggu's skills in making dim sum can already be a teacher. Today, he also has the intention to let Feng Gu take charge alone, as long as there are no major mistakes, Xiao Yi will be able to get rid of the shackles in the future.

"So powerful, I'll go ahead and take a look!"

Xiao Yi also felt incredible when he heard this, usually every day the little girl followed her and asked questions, but she didn't notice it, this girl quietly grew into an adult.

When he arrived at the lobby, Yat heard the chatter of customers.

"Brother Wenbao, did you really see Shopkeeper Luo in the Broken Temple in the back mountain?"

"Of course it's true!" Xie Wenbao took a sip of tea and whispered: "I see the clear, Shopkeeper Luo and his missing buddy Niu Wu are here." There was no blood on his body, and the adults were dry. Also discovered were the three divine sticks that appeared recently, the ones that claimed to be able to lead people to immortals, all of which made people lose their mouths. ”

"Aren't those immortals? How can they be killed?" Zhou Chen hurriedly filled Xie Wenbao with tea and asked quietly.

"Didn't they all let people kill? Two of them had their necks broken, and the thinnest one had a dagger stuck in his forehead, probably because he had encountered hard stubble. There were swords and sundries all over the ground, and there was not a single gold or silver to be seen. It looks like a robber committed the crime, right? They didn't take the sword away. If you want to say that it is a vendetta revenge, but it has swept away the money. Do you remember the last time the shopkeeper Luo disappeared and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 100 gold coins? At that time, the official family still suspected that Niu Wu, a kid, coveted his employer, but now it seems that he has wronged others. ”

"Yes, yes, who is the murderer? Five lives, this time ......"

Xiao Yi listened for a while, and smiled playfully on his face.

He could see early on that these people were not a good way to come, and their cultivation was also unusual. Originally, he spit out ill-gotten gains and warned him, but Xiao Yat would not pursue it too much. It's just that when he recognized the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop at a glance, these people were erased from his consciousness.

Went inside and beckoned Aunt Feng to go back to rest, Xiao Yi was busy until it was late at noon before going back to the backyard.

Taking out the package under the bed, Xiao Yat took out another ancient book from the room. Originally, he had been living a peaceful life for more than half a year, and now the cultivator had reappeared beside him. Thinking about this time, he smiled heartily.

Turning over the "Five Qi Tianyuan", Xiao Yi carefully read the methods described in the book, and the true qi in his body wandered, opening the meridians step by step. After trying more than ten times, it is said that such a superficial exercise can already be mastered freely. But it just so happened that no matter how Xiao Yi cultivated, he still couldn't compare the effects described in the book.

After putting away his things, Xiao Yi went out to have dinner with everyone, and chatted about tea time. Seeing that Aunt Feng was holding the lamp and it was already dark outside the door, Xiao Yi got up and said goodbye and went back to rest.

Day after day, in the blink of an eye, it is the family's sacrifice day.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yi greeted He Sijiu, went out to buy wine and cakes, and climbed the nearby hill alone.

Spread out a coarse cloth, set up the cakes and wine, Xiao Yi lit a handful of yellow incense and bowed three times to the southeast. Piling up a handful of dirt and watching the smoke slowly drift towards the temple, Xiao Yi slowly closed his eyes.

The mountain wind blows gently behind you, carrying the smell of grass and earth. It's like the feeling of playing in the woods of Yecheng as a child, carefree and fulfilling.

A gust of wind swept by, and a flock of birds and flocks of birds were startled in the mountains and forests. In the chaotic chirping, the voice of a lark came, and Xiao Yi's heart moved, as if he remembered something.

The brain was cold, and Qingming did not feel the slightest discomfort. He took a deep breath of the mountain air, and after a moment he exhaled a long breath. A warm current slowly expanded from the dantian, distributed along the meridians to the limbs, stayed for a short time, and then surged to the top of the skull. A vast ocean in the sea of knowledge, although there are waves, but it is still pure. The clouds and mist on the sea rose slowly, and there was no bright moon and red sun, but there was light shining on this side of the world.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Yi faintly saw that there were five-colored essence lights floating in the air, and the highlights around his body inadvertently blended into the skin between breaths. Careful observation shows that the speed at which several acupuncture points absorb light points is even higher than that of other places.

"This is the aura described in the book?"

Xiao Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly sat down cross-legged, slowly absorbing it according to the record of the Five Qi Tianyuan Gong.

The heaven and earth aura absorbed by the body flowed from the hundred horrors to the dantian, and after circling several times, a trace of purity was precipitated. This wisp of pure spiritual power was wrapped in a ball, and the rest of it gradually collapsed because it could not be absorbed. Xiao Yi didn't mind, and now his attention was all focused on the thread of spiritual power.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yi finally successfully refined that wisp of spiritual power. Now he already possessed a sesame-sized spiritual power light cluster in his dantian. Or maybe the point of light is more appropriate.

The sky was getting dark, and before he knew it, Xiao Yi had spent a day in the mountains. Sure enough, there is no time for cultivation, and it took me a day to concentrate on refining such a little spiritual power, and the time of cultivation is even more precious when I think that I will have to take care of the shop in the future.

Xiao Yi got up, left the sacrifice on the mountain, sprinkled wine to say goodbye, and disappeared into the forest in a few leaps.

That night, He Ji and the others had already rested, and only Xiao Yat and Feng Gu were busy in the lobby.

"Uncle Xiao, do you think this is okay?"

He Fenggu handed a basket of freshly made snacks to Xiao Yi, looking at Xiao Nizi's sweat mixed with powder, Xiao Yi smiled and stretched out her index finger to gently scratch her nose.

"Don't taste it, I'm almost there tonight. Remember, our shop customers have a mouthful, and they have to come up with a new snack and remove another meal in ten days and half a month. This way the cycle ensures that there is something that attracts guests for three to five years and does not bore them up. ”

"Uncle Xiao, don't you really need a little? This is made by Aunt Feng herself!" He Fenggu looked at Xiao Yi aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes.

"Alright, don't play with the child's temper. Uncle Xiao will eat tomorrow, and I'll stay for this first. That's right......" Xiao Yi took the steamer, took out a letter from his arms and put it in Feng Gu's hand.

"I'm going out for the next two days, and this letter is for your grandfather. Tomorrow if I'm not there, you'll hand it over to your grandfather. ”

He Fenggu took the letterhead, and there were some doubts in her heart. My grandfather gets up very early every day, what does Uncle Xiao have to convey by himself?

On the second day, He Sijiu finished washing up and beckoned Aunt Feng to come over for dinner together, and he was suspicious when he saw the letterhead. I can't read and write, but fortunately, my mother-in-law studied in a private school for a few days. When he knew that it was a farewell letter, his face became solemn. Carefully asked Aunt Feng about her experience yesterday, He Sijiu stood for a long time before he smiled bitterly and sighed.

It seems that Xiao Gongzi is not only ready to leave, but also has made it clear what will happen to this store in the next few years. ”

On the seashore on the outskirts of Yubo City, Xiao Yi took a fishing boat and headed towards an unknown island in the distance. With light skills, he is confident that he can go to the island without the help of external forces. It's just that you can enjoy the sea breeze on the way.

Landing on the island to take off two huge parcels, Xiao Yat paid the boatman two silver coins. Seeing the fishing boat slowly sail away, Xiao Yat picked up the package and walked towards the center of the island.

Three days later, he carved a cave in the middle of the island.

Seven days later, a hut was erected next to the cave.

Half a month later, the snakes and insects on the entire island were cleaned up by him.

After arranging everything, Xiao Yat came to his cave and closed the firewood door. Lighting a piece of agarwood, he slowly sat cross-legged on a futon.

Now there are no bystanders, no wild beasts. Xiao Yi opened the "Five Qi Tianyuan" and read the words in it carefully, and finally remembered it in his heart.

Closing the scroll, Xiao Yi slowly inhaled and exhaled, and immersed himself in a state of extreme relaxation.

The sea breeze whispered outside the cave, and the newly built thatched house made a soft noise. In Xiao Yat's world, there is only the company of the wind, and the ocean in Xiao Yat's mind is only the breeze rolling up thin clouds.

A white light between heaven and earth broke through the clouds and poured straight into the deep sea, Xiao Yi himself didn't notice it, and when the white light appeared, his naturally falling hair and clothes fluttered without wind. A faint white glimmer shimmered all around his body......
