"Chu Ran, don't be rude. How can we not help this brother when he is in trouble?" said the old man patiently.

"Let's help him, so who will help us?" Chu Ran snorted.

Zhang Hao has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry on his body, but now the true qi on his body can't function at all, and he can't even open the storage bag, so he can't take it out at all.

"Chu Ran, grandpa, you let me rest for a while. I'll pay you right away!" Zhang Hao said.

"No, kid, it's just a few steamed buns! The old man obviously looked at Zhang Hao's whole body and didn't look like he was rich, and waved his hand.

"Still pretentious!" Chu Ran wrinkled her nose with disdain, and then she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you can go." We can't afford to feed you. ”

Chu Ran's voice was very helpless, Zhang Hao could hear that this girl was actually not malicious, but a stranger suddenly appeared in the house and ate their grandfather and granddaughter's food for two or three days, which made her feel very angry.

Zhang Hao didn't speak again, but asked the old man where his room was, and the old man thought that Zhang Hao was too tired and needed to rest, so he took Zhang Hao to his room.

"No matter what, I hope you leave today, we won't raise an idle bastard!" Chu Ran's voice came from behind Zhang Hao.

"Don't worry, kid. Chu Ran had no malicious intent. The old man reassured.

Zhang Hao nodded, sat quietly on the bed and stopped talking.

The old man sighed slightly and left the room.

Zhang Hao began to breathe and breathe, the steamed buns in his stomach began to be digested, and his originally consumed body slowly recovered.

"Hoo ......"

"Wow ......"

Zhang Hao's breathing became more and more rapid, and his voice became louder and louder, and when he got to the back, it was like an old turtle snorting and snorting to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

And in Zhang Hao's body, the true qi that was originally condensed like a paste also slowly loosened, and then under Zhang Hao's control, it began to operate slowly.

After another half an hour like this, the true qi in Zhang Hao's body had been completely loosened, and the true qi in the tendons and veins was also rushing like a river, and Zhang Hao was finally able to operate the true qi in his body freely.

At this time, Zhang Hao was naturally able to open the storage bag as he wanted, he took out a few Qi Benefiting Pills and a few Healing Jinchuang Pills from them, swallowed them in one go, and then entered the state of pranayama again.

An hour later, Zhang Hao stood up, at this time he felt extremely relaxed, although half of the injuries on his body had not healed, but the pain was not very obvious.

When Zhang Hao used his divine sense to look inside his body again, he suddenly felt that the true qi in his body had become a little surging, and at the same time, the sea of qi had also begun to vibrate.

"This is a sign that you are about to break through to the ninth level of Qi training!"

Zhang Hao was shocked, he didn't expect to be chased and killed by He Hongsheng this time, and he was seriously injured, but he was also blessed by misfortune.

Immediately, Zhang Hao sat down cross-legged again, held his breath, and ran the Hongmeng Immortal Method.

Around Zhang Hao's body, the spiritual energy formed a vortex-like ripple, converging above his head, and then all poured into the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound coming from his body, Zhang Hao knew that he had broken through to the ninth layer of Qi training.

"Hoo ......"

With a long breath of turbidity, Zhang Hao stood up again, this time he broke through to the ninth layer of qi cultivation without the help of spirit stones, because he was already at the peak of the eighth layer of foundation building, and this time he was chased and killed by He Hongsheng, which stimulated the potential in his body, so the way to open the ninth layer did not use spirit stones.

Zhang Hao felt very good at this time, and he could clearly perceive that when he broke through to the ninth layer of Qi training, the true yuan in his body increased again, and it was much more powerful than when he was on the eighth layer.

"If you face He Hongsheng again now, even if you still can't beat him, at least you won't be as embarrassed as last time. Zhang Hao said secretly.

When Zhang Hao pushed open the door again, it was already late at night, there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, there was no light in the house, at the door, Chu Ran was trying to penetrate a pointer into the other end of a piece of animal skin under the moonlight, the tenacity of the animal skin made her very difficult, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had oozed from her forehead.

Seeing Zhang Hao coming out of the house, Chu Ran glanced up and said angrily: "There is also a bowl of white rice porridge on the table!"

The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth curled slightly, nodded with a light smile, but he didn't drink the bowl of porridge, but asked, "Where is grandpa?"

"Borrow food!" Chu Ran's face was even more unkind, in her opinion, if Zhang Hao hadn't eaten their rations, her grandfather wouldn't have to go outside to borrow food so late.

"What kind of place is this, why is life so difficult?" Zhang Hao asked again.

Chu Ran stopped what he was doing, trying to see Zhang Hao's expression clearly by the moonlight, and after making sure that Zhang Hao was not pretending, he shook his head helplessly and said: "This is a mountain, I don't know why in the past few years, the rainstorm is particularly ordinary, the flood disaster is raging, the crops planted have no harvest at all, and the people still have to pay rent, those landlords will not reduce the rent because of your poor harvest at all, and the harvest of the common people is not even as high as the rent collected by the landlord." ”

"Weishan?" Zhang Hao was secretly shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this was actually the border of Yan Kingdom, it seemed that he had been floating in the river for a short time. Zhang Hao didn't expect that on the border of Yan Kingdom, in this mountainous land, the lives of ordinary people would be so embarrassing.

"Oh no! Oh no, Chu Ran, come here!"

At that moment, there was a sudden call from outside the house.

Chu Ran hurriedly put down the work in his hand and trotted over, and Zhang Hao also walked behind him.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Chu Ran hurriedly asked.

"You go to Yang's Mansion quickly, your grandfather was hung up by them, and said that he would not let him go until you went over!" The aunt glanced at Zhang Hao and said anxiously.

"Ahh

Then Aunt Gui quickly told the general story of the matter, it turned out that Chu Ran's grandfather did not borrow rations, so he planned to go to Yang's Mansion to pick up bones.

There are two snow mastiffs in the Yang Mansion, and they have to eat a lot of meat and bones every day, and the bones left over from the eating can be picked up by others, which is also acquiesced by the Yang Mansion for many years. After all, these bones are already useless garbage for the Yang Mansion, and they will be picked up by the poor.

But this time, the subordinates of the Yang Mansion said that Chu Ran's grandfather scared the two snow mastiffs when he was picking up bones, so he hung him up.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" Zhang Hao said indifferently: "Hey, this is the limitation of secular dynasties. ”

"It seems that this favor can be repaid"

The woman who was called an aunt glanced at Zhang Hao with some contempt, and secretly said in her heart, this world is that people are not as good as dogs, and at the same time secretly shook her head, although this young man looks good, but for the sake of avoiding it, how could Chu Ran be with such a stunned young man?

Obviously, she saw Zhang Hao in Chu Ran's house and treated them as a couple.

But then Aunt Gui sighed helplessly, she naturally understood what Lord Yang meant when he said that he would let Chu Ran go to the Yang Mansion before he was willing to release people, which showed that Zhang Hao and Chu Ran would definitely be separated alive.

"You wait for me at home!" Chu Ran said to Zhang Hao, and was about to pull Aunt Gui away.

"Let me go!" Zhang Hao didn't talk nonsense, and directly sacrificed the flying sword.

As soon as this flying sword appeared, it emitted a faint cyan fluorescence in the night, Zhang Hao stepped on it, and beckoned to Chu Ran, who was stunned: "I'll accompany you to the Yang Mansion to see if his dog is precious or his life is precious!"

"Ah......" Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Chu Ran woke up from the shock, although she didn't know how to cultivate, but she couldn't hear a lot of stories about cultivation, at this time she naturally understood that Zhang Hao was a cultivator immortal master. But Chu Ran didn't know how to get on the flying sword, she saw Zhang Hao step on it with one foot, obviously she didn't dare to do it.

Zhang Hao quickly understood Chu Ran's thoughts, and stretched out his hand towards Chu Ran, although Chu Ran was shocked by Zhang Hao's identity, but at this time, he was more worried about his grandfather, so he didn't hesitate, so he took Zhang Hao's hand.

As soon as Zhang Hao exerted his strength, Chu Ran stepped on the flying sword and was held in Zhang Hao's arms. Then the flying sword slashed through the air with a streamer, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Aunt rubbed her eyes, and only woke up from the shock after half a ring, she only understood the meaning of Zhang Hao's words at this time, it turned out that the young man was not stunned, but an immortal master, in the eyes of mortals, the immortal master is always high, not to mention an adult, even if it is ten hundred adults combined, it is not worth an immortal master.

Being held in Zhang Hao's arms, Chu Ran felt a little uncomfortable, since she was a child, she had never been hugged by a strange man like this, in her memory, her father had hugged her like this when she was very young, and she didn't dare to move at all now, she was afraid that she would fall off the flying sword if she was not careful, looking at the sky below, Chu Ran was both surprised and happy, she never thought that she would one day be able to fly like a bird in the sky.

It didn't take long for Zhang Hao and Chu Ran to come to the Yang Mansion, and sure enough, Chu Ran's grandfather was hanging on the side of the gate, and the thin old man's body was constantly trembling in the cold wind.

"Grandpa!" Chu Ran rushed over, hugging the hanging grandfather, trying to drag him up.

Zhang Hao stepped forward to untie the rope on Grandpa Chu Ran and put him down.

At this moment, several people came out of the courtyard, and at the front was a man of about fifty years old, short and stocky, with a pair of small eyes showing a bit of shrewdness.

Obviously, this short and fat man is Lord Yang, Lord Yang was obviously a little surprised when he saw Chu Ran, he didn't know why Chu Ran got the news so quickly and rushed over, in addition to a trace of surprise, there was obviously a lust in his eyes that was difficult to hide.

"Mu Churan, you should know. Your grandfather frightened my snow mastiff when he was picking up bones in my house, and I bought these two snow mastiffs for dozens of taels of gold, what do you say?" Lord Yang looked high, he knew how to deal with such a simple poor girl.

Sure enough, Chu Ran became a little cramped as soon as she heard dozens of taels of gold, not to mention dozens of taels of gold, even dozens of taels of silver were not an astronomical amount she could imagine.

Zhang Hao sneered, stepped forward and patted Chu Ran gently, signaling her not to be afraid, and then looked at Lord Yang with a sneer, and asked, "Could it be that in the eyes of your Lord Yang, human life is not as good as a dog?"

Lord Yang's eyes swept to Zhang Hao, and his face suddenly turned cold, he saw that Zhang Hao came with Chu Ran, so he naturally thought that Zhang Hao was Chu Ran's lover.

"Chu Ran, you're not talking about you, your vision is really not very good, following such a hairy boy will only hurt you. Lord Yang shook his head and said earnestly.

"Young man, you don't know the power of my Lord Yang. ”

"Child...... Kid, you go. At this time, Chu Ran's grandfather also said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao naturally understood what the old man meant, he was afraid that he would be burdened by himself.

"Old man, with me, don't be afraid!" Zhang Hao said softly, his gaze suddenly swept towards Lord Yang, and became fierce.

"I'll go back and forth today, Lord Yang's might. ”

"Yo, young man, are you still angry? But you're too tender to be wild with me. Lord Yang sneered and waved his hand to signal the group of subordinates to arrest Zhang Hao.
