Yu Toad'er immediately threw the bamboo basket into the river, and stood in front of Changning vigilantly, Shen Tuan was very satisfied with Yu Toad'er's actions, what he wanted was to treat his granddaughter as a spiritual pet like this.

"Haha, Tunan's old friend is still so alert." Lang Lang's laughter sounded, Changning looked for prestige, and saw an old man holding a green bamboo cane striding towards them, this old man was wearing a single shirt of Ge cloth, his appearance was clear and ancient, full of white hair, three silver hairs under his chin, and three small red gourds hanging from his waist. Behind the old man was a boy about the same age as Chang Ning, with a beautiful appearance, bright eyes, and heroic spirit.

"It turned out to be Brother Tiger." When Shen Jian saw this old man, a smile appeared on his face, "It's been fifty years since I said goodbye back then, how is Brother Yu today?" ”

"The heavens are the tents and the earth are felt, what's so bad." The old man laughed freely.

Shen Shu said to Changning: "This is your Uncle He, his swordsmanship is extremely superb, if you can receive a few words of guidance from him, you will not be able to use it in this life." ”

Changning stepped forward and saluted, "Changning has seen Uncle He. ”

The old man smiled loudly and took out a bamboo box from his arms, "Uncle Shi doesn't have anything good, these two fruits are picked from the mountain, so you should eat them with a snack." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ancestor." Changning took it with both hands.

The old man asked Shen Jun, "This kid is your apprentice?" ”

"I confiscated the disciples, where did the disciples come from? She's my junior. Shen said.

The old man He Renhu pointed to the boy behind him and said: "This child is also a descendant of my bloodline, named Yinglin, eleven years old this year, you should be called a senior brother and sister." ”

He Yinglin stepped forward to kowtow to Shen Tong first, and after accepting the meeting gift given by Shen Shu, he turned around to greet Changning, and Changning returned the half-salute.

Shen Tuan and He Renhu were friends when they entered the Tao, and the old friend hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he naturally wanted to drink it, but Shen Tuan only had a few cans of fruit wine he had brewed in the past few years, and even the snacks were vegetarian foods such as dried tofu and preserved fruits, so he couldn't help shaking his head, "I haven't seen you for twenty years, not only have you changed your appearance, but even your taste has become more and more the same as those bald donkeys." ”

He Renhu's words made Changning's heart move slightly, seeing that Uncle Zu was so young, she began to suspect that Ah Weng's current appearance was not his true appearance, but this suspicion that she could not confirm it at present.

Shen Shu said: "I don't like to drink, what are you doing with so much wine?" If you want to drink any wine, you can't just send someone to buy it. ”

He Renhu took the big gourd hanging from his waist and handed it to He Yinglin, "You go to the wine shop in the town to get a gourd wine, and then let them make a roast smoked chicken, remember to choose the fattest hen, roast it slowly with pine wood, the chicken skin should be roasted crispy, and the chicken fat cannot penetrate the chicken skin......" He Renhu carefully instructed his apprentice, "That chicken is more troublesome to make, you don't have to be in a hurry, wait there for a while." ”

He Yinglin took the gourd in response, the gourd was originally only three inches in size, but it was a foot long when it fell into He Yinglin's hand, and He Yinglin held it firmly with one hand. He Renhu asked Changning with a smile: "Do you want to go to the market with your senior brother?" There's a lot of juggling there. ”

Changning saw that He Renhu seemed to have something to say to Ah Weng, and he also took Yu Toad away with interest. At this time, it is late, the moon has not yet reached the middle of the sky, the water color is bright, it seems to be obscure and bright, the fishing fire by the river is extinguished, mixed with the sound of insects and frogs between the ridges, it seems that the twilight is very quiet.

Yu Toad waited until it was far from the shore before she took Changning's hand and whispered, "Girl." ”

"How?" Changning tilted his head to look at her.

"Didn't you say that we have to be vegetarian to cultivate?" Jade Toad asked in a low voice, "Why does that real person eat chicken?" "Since she was a child, she was taught by her grandfather not to kill, not to eat meat.

"Have you ever heard a saying that wine and meat pierce the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart?" Changning thought for a while and said.

Yu Chan'er nodded, "I've heard it, but Ah Weng said that this sentence was said by the Daoji Holy Monk, and only the Holy Monk can do this, we can't do it." ”

"Yes." Changning said, "The Daoji holy monk will say this because he can spit out the dead meat that has been eaten into the stomach into living things, and we ordinary people don't have this ability, so we can't learn it." However, He Zhenren is already a Jindan Great Monk, and unlike us, even if he eats these meats, it will not affect his cultivation. ”

Yu Toad'er suddenly realized, "It turns out that He Zhenren ate a roast chicken and can spit out a live chicken, he is so amazing!" ”

Changning: "......" She felt that He Zhenren shouldn't have such great magical powers, and he probably couldn't help but be fishy, but it was a people's cultivation method, and they couldn't learn it.

Yu Chan'er's words made He Yinglin pause slightly, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Changning, she was looking at the little clam demon beside her with crooked eyebrows, not like a spirit pet to it, but like a sister, and actually had the patience to teach a little monster.

He Yinglin walked into a lively small wine shop in the bazaar, and the shopkeepers in it all recognized He Yinglin, and when they saw him coming from a distance, they came up to salute, "Little boy, are you still here to drink today?" ”

He Yinglin gave him the gourd, "Fill it all, and then have two roast chickens and a few plates of delicate vegetarian pastries." ”

"Gongzi He, will it be too late to roast the chicken now, at least half an hour." The shopkeeper said that they were small villages and towns, and there was no curfew, but he didn't want to roast chicken for others in the middle of the night.

He Yinglin took out a large ingot of filament silver from his arms, "We can wait." ”

The shopkeeper smiled when he saw the silver ingot, "Wait a minute, little boy, I'll let my daughter go roast chicken." He glanced at Changning on He Yinglin's side again, and saw that the drooping girl was beautifully dressed, raw melted powder and condensed fat, and the end was extremely exquisite, standing with He Yinglin like a golden boy and jade girl, and said to Changning with a smile: "This little lady is cute and drinks sour plum soup?" I boiled a can of sour plum soup a few days ago, and I have been in the well for most of the day. ”

He Yinglin said to Changning: "Senior sister, why don't we wait in the private room here for a while?" In the private room, you can see the tricks of the outside show. ”

"Girl, Ah Weng is nearby, let's go find Ah Weng." The jade toad bit Changning's ear, and there was a special feeling between the jade toad and the turtle elder.

Changning also wanted to find Elder Turtle first, He Zhenren wanted to talk to his grandfather alone, and if Elder Turtle went back, he could only wait outside, so it was better to wait in the wine shop with them, she said to He Yinglin: "Senior Brother He, I want to go for a walk around the neighborhood with Toad." ”

He Yinglin said: "I'll go with my junior sister." "The person was brought out by him, he didn't worry about letting her walk around the street alone, and the little clam demon who didn't do anything was directly ignored by He Yinglin.

The sky is dark, the small vendors on the road are lit with oil lamps, the whole market is illuminated, Changning this way, the villages and towns that have seen are all out early to rest, I can't imagine that this town is so lively at night.

He Yinglin saw her doubts, "Not far from here is a port, every year there will be a lot of merchant ships of maritime merchants, merchant ships will attract a lot of merchants to live here temporarily, there is a curfew in the city, the villages and towns are not so strict, and the villages and towns here are very lively at night." ”

"Are all the maritime merchants here going to other continents?" Changning asked, if my grandfather is going to other continents, is it to take these merchant ships?

"There are not many people who go to other continents, and there are many small islands near our Central Continent, and there are many special products on the islands that are different from Middle-earth." He Yinglin smiled slightly, "Our He family is on a small island nearby, and junior sister can come to my house as a guest when she is free." ”

"Okay, my family is also on the island, and my senior brother can come as a guest next time." Changning smiled, and his smile was full of smiles.

The three of them walked out of the town and walked towards the river, while feeling the direction of her grandfather, Yu Toad muttered to her: "Girl, there is no fun here at all, Kasasawa Lake is not as fun as Kasawa, and Kasawa Lake has a lot of friends to play with me at night......"

He Yinglin followed the two of them silently without saying a word, and Changning saw that he didn't like to chat too much, and he didn't talk to him much. Under the moon, the surface of the river is like a jade belt shining with silver light, and the sound of water is surging.

Changning seemed to faintly hear the shouting in front of her, and she didn't care, thinking that it was some fishermen chatting and laughing on the shore, but He Yinglin stopped her with a solemn expression, "Senior Sister Shen, be careful." ”

"What's wrong with Senior Brother He?" Changning asked.

"There seems to be a fight ahead." He Yinglin is already in the foundation building period, and at a glance she can see that Changning is only one step away from entering the foundation building period, can't she hear the sound from this point? "Senior sister, didn't you hear a voice in front of you?"

Changning listened carefully, and gradually recognized that the noise was the sound of weapons colliding, and her face was slightly red, "I didn't pay attention." ”

He Yinglin said clearly: "Senior sister has no experience in the rivers and lakes, no wonder she can't tell the difference." This is a branch of the Yangtze River, and adjacent to the sea, abundant aquatic products, there are many passenger ships coming and going, so there are many thieves on the river, and I think it is also a river thief to blame in front. ”

Changning said: "Senior brother, let's go to the front to investigate, if it is really Jiang Thief who harms people, we can also help." ”

"Okay." Xuanmen disciples are walking outside, and the elders will ask them to accumulate more external skills to help them survive the catastrophe in the future, although He Yinglin is young, but he also picked three or five thieves' nests with He Renhu, and other idle masters in the rivers and lakes, even if there are more than a dozen of them, they are not his opponents, listening to what Changning said, he naturally agreed, and he still thought that he would protect more junior sisters when the time came.

Changning let Yu Toad turn into her original form and put it in her purse, Yu Toad'er's courage needs to be strengthened, she doesn't want to worry about her safety when she does it. He Yinglin directly used the escape technique, Changning lightly followed behind He Yinglin with his feet, and she used light skills. The monks pay attention to * cultivation, Changning should pay more attention to it, in addition to practicing swords and cultivating during this time, most of her energy is focused on mundane martial arts, and light skills are also learned during this time. She used to see the plot where the protagonist fell into a desperate land, and his spiritual power could not be used, so he could only rely on his own force, so she paid special attention to her own strength training.

He Yinglin saw that Changning could keep up with him just by running, and his internal breath was not chaotic at all, so he couldn't help but glance at Changning, and secretly wondered in his heart that this junior sister was not as weak as he thought. In fact, Changning's strength is not much worse than He Yinglin, but she has been in a comfortable environment for too long, and she lacks vigilance, although she was caught by the fox demon once, but recently she and her grandfather have been swimming in the mountains and rivers, and they have been well protected, where can you still think that ancient times are completely different from modern times. When walking on a wild road, even if there are no bad people ambushing them, there are wild beasts that infest and hurt people.

The two of them arrived at the fighting place in a moment, and among the fighters there was a turtle Lao, the turtle Lao was a different kind of cultivation, he had a gentle temper, he had never killed a life in his life, only released a turtle shell to block everyone's attacks, and bitterly persuaded everyone to sit down and discuss slowly, there was always a way to solve it, but the people who attacked them did not listen to him at all. The boy who sold them shrimp sat on the ground with a woman in his arms with a face full of anger, and a black dog protected them in front of them, barking at the attackers.
