"What's wrong?

Yang Keming picked up the pendant on his chest and said in a panic: "This ...... There was a black bead on it, why is it missing?"

"It's ......"

Bai Lian took the pendant and looked at it, and said busily: "Is this your mother's relic?"

"Yes, Uncle Bai, how do you know?"

Bai Bailian thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... I'm friends with your mother, and I've seen her wear this, but I haven't seen any black beads you mentioned, did you add them later?"

Yang Keming told the origin of the bead to the day refining, and after listening to the day refining, he was also confused.

Yang Keming suddenly remembered that before fainting in the afternoon, he suddenly felt extremely hot in his chest, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this matter has something to do with that bead......"

Bai Lian said: "Forget it, since it's not an important thing, don't think about it so much." It's just that this pendant is related to your future, you must keep it well, and never lose it!"

Yang Keming agreed, but in his heart he was curious about Bai Lian's words.

"Rest early. ”

Bai Lian patted Yang Keming's shoulder, sighed, walked to a place and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated.

The experience during the day made Yang Keming not sleep, just sat quietly next to Yang Wenyao's corpse and didn't say a word. Mu Zhi saw that he didn't sleep, so she stayed aside. The two sat for a long time, and finally leaned on each other to sleep.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Lian buried Yang Wenyao's body with Ye Xiaoli according to Yang Keming's meaning. Yang Keming knelt down in front of the grave of his parents and was silent.

During the day, he comprehended and said, "Ke Ming, we are waiting for you in front." ”

Mu Zhi was worried about Yang Keming in her heart, and looked back from time to time. As soon as the two of them walked a short distance, they heard a heart-rending cry from behind them. The cry was so miserable that those who heard it couldn't help but be sad and moved. This is exactly what it is:

Men should have tears and are not willing to be left behind.

Joy and sorrow are self-inflicted, how can others pity them.

After a while, the two of them saw Yang Keming coming, neatly dressed and calm, without the slightest sadness.

"Uncle Bai, let's go. ”

Mu Zhi said with concern: "Brother Keming, are you okay?"

Yang Keming shook his head with a smile and walked in front of himself.

Bai Lian looked at his back and sighed: "Alas, this kid ......"

The three of them headed in the direction of Heavenly Wind City.

Along the way, Yang Keming and Mu Zhi talked and laughed, just like usual, as if they had forgotten their father's death. Mu Zhi only when Yang Keming walked out of the shadows, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

The three of them walked for a long time, came to a small river, Bai Lian looked at the sky, and said: "The front is Tongshan City, let's rest here for a while, and then enter the city later." ”

The three of them each found a stone and sat down, looking at the crystal clear river in front of them, Yang Keming said excitedly: "Mu Zhi, let's go see if there are any fish in the river, and if there are, catch a few." ”

"Okay!"

The two were about to leave, when Bai Lian suddenly said, "Ke Ming, wait a minute, I have something to say." ”

Yang Keming was stunned and said, "Uncle Bai, is there something wrong?"

Bai Lian thought for a while and said, "Your father is on his deathbed, and now Mu Zhi and I are your relatives, you don't have to be so wronged by yourself." ”

When Yang Ke heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by endless sadness and anger. For half a day, he deliberately pretended to be indifferent, but under the false smile, pain and hatred had already occupied his heart.

Instead of suppressing negative emotions, it is better to release them completely, and Bai Lian is well versed in this principle, and continued: "The path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, once you step into it, you will find that the people around you will gradually leave you, and the farther you go, the more lonely you will be. Until the end, it was cumin. What's more, some people even lost themselves. All this is only because cultivators go against the sky, and while gaining great power, they also need to bear a fate that is difficult to escape. No one has been spared since ancient times, and you and I are just two of them. ”

Yang Keming heard this, and his heart seemed to be touched.

Bai Lian said again: "I have no intention of persuading you to let go of hatred, I just hope that you will not be blinded by hatred." Although hatred can make people burst out with unimaginable power, that power is uncontrollable, and can even manipulate you in turn. For cultivators, this will do more harm than good. Your future road may be even more bumpy, and without strong mental support, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the end, let alone take revenge. Remember, the small art of refining the body, the great avenue of cultivating the mind!"

"Small art refining body, great avenue cultivation of the heart!"

Yang Keming was like an empowerment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Bai, I understand." ”

Bai Lian was relieved: "Defeating hatred is not the same as forgetting hatred, you are a smart child, Uncle Bai believes that you will handle it." ”

The three of them rested for a while, and then continued on their way.

After walking along the path for a long time, the front suddenly opened up, and a city appeared in the open space, and three big characters were hung at the gate of the city: Tongshan City.

Bai Lian said: "Let's go, we will rest in the city today." ”

Copper Mountain Castle is named after the Copper Mountain, a branch of the Moro Mountains. Tongshan is rich in copper ore, so Tongshan City is very wealthy, and the scale is much larger than that of Liyang City. There are also seminaries in the city, although they are not as famous as the Fengling Seminary, but they are not far behind. At this moment, the seminary in Tongshan City is also about to usher in the new year, and many young boys and girls from other places have gathered here, and the streets and alleys are very lively.

The three of them entered the city and looked around for a place to stay, but the inn family in the city was overcrowded. The three of them came to a secluded place.

Suddenly, a burst of fragrance came into the noses of the three people, and the three of them walked in search of taste, and came to a dilapidated building, only to see a signboard hanging crookedly above the door, with six big characters written on it: A good inn. The plaque is in tatters, and when you enter and exit the door, you can't help but worry that it will fall off at any time.

Bai Lian looked at the signboard and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the boss here is a literati, but it's a pity that he has limited literacy and wrote a typo." ”

The three of them walked in the door, which was much more deserted than other inns in the city, and the hall was empty, except for the shopkeeper leaning against the counter and fiddling with the tablecloth in his hand boredly.

Seeing the guests coming, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hurry up, please, I don't know if the three guest officers are sharpened or staying in the hotel?"

During the day, Lian said: "We will eat and live." ”

"By chance, we have an upper room. ”

Bai Lian looked left and right, and said suspiciously: "I don't think you look like someone here, why is there only one room left?"

"Didn't the guest officer see the signboard of the shop?" Xiao Er stretched out his hand and pointed out the door and said, "A inn like the old one, of course there is only one room!"

"Huh?" said during the day, crying and laughing: "'A room as usual' turns out to mean that! In other words, the name of your store is apt. ”

"That is, we are a century-old shop, and Tong Su is not bullied. ”

Bai Lian smiled: "That's it, let's just one room, we'll live here." ”

"Okay, I'll go clean up. I haven't lived there in years, and it's inevitably dirty. ”

Bai Lian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, how long have you said you haven't lived there?"

"Hmm...... It's been about two or three years, and I haven't lived there since my boss's father died. ”

"This ...... This is your old home, and this is clearly your old home!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to call it 'a room as usual'!"

Bai Lian was a little helpless, wanting to find another place, but worried that he had nowhere to go, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xiao Er saw that Bai Lian hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the guest officer, although it is a former residence, it is just a little dirty, just clean it." Burn some incense and you won't smell the smell of the stables next door. ”

"The stables next door?"

"Yes, the 'single-handed-horse station' next to it is also our family's, does the guest officer need a livestock to travel? Coincidentally, there is still a horse left, although it is a little old, but four legs are always faster than two legs......

Bai Bailian interrupted: "Let's talk about the horse, what do you have to eat here?"

Xiao Er handed over the recipe in his hand, and said endlessly: "Our store is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and the latest cultivator package is launched, selecting the freshest ingredients, supplemented by the most nutritious collocation, which is well received by the majority of cultivators......

Bai Lian took over the recipe, and he didn't have hope in his heart, just hoping to fill his stomach, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said, "Isn't the chef of your restaurant also a cultivator?"

"Hehe, the guest officer has good eyesight, and the owner of this store and the part-time chef is a person on the way. ”

"I didn't expect us to come to the right place!" Bai Lian pointed to the recipe and said, "I want stewed red chicken with cold mushrooms, red braised mountain bear's paws, and a pot of gold and silver honey tea, some rice, and a pot of wine." ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he said with a sad face: "The guest officer should also be a person who has eaten and seen, rice and wine are easy to say, and the rest of the things may not be paid for with gold and silver." ”

Bai Lian nodded when he heard this, and took out three coins from his waist and put them on the table. Yang Keming was curious, stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that the round coin was golden all over, with square holes, and four small characters were engraved on all sides of the holes, which was: Jiuxia Tongbao.

"Is it enough?"

"Enough is enough, wait a minute!"

The three of them drank some tea, and after a while, the meals were served one after another. Looking at the dishes he had never seen before, Yang Keming was a little afraid to put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Bai Lian explained: "This is stewed red chicken with Tianhan mushrooms, Tianhan mushrooms grow in cold areas all year round, and their nature is cold. The red chicken is hot and difficult to train, wild in the mountains and forests, and its sex is hot and dry. The combination of the two has the effect of regulating yin and yang in the body. ”

"This is the mountain bear's paw, the mountain bear is infinitely powerful, the power of one palm can crack the stone and break the tree, eat its palm can strengthen the body, improve the muscles and bones. And this gold and silver honey is mild and helps to relieve fatigue. These things are rare in ordinary restaurants, and I don't want to sell them in this small corner shop. Eat more for both of you, it's good for your body. ”

Yang Keming suddenly moved his index finger when he heard this, he was already hungry after a day's journey, so he grabbed a red chicken leg and sent it to his mouth. Mu Zhi is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and she does not lose her ladylike image when she eats a lot.

Seeing the two children gobbling up, Bai Lian smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink.

After the meal, the three of them went upstairs to rest. As expected by Bai Lian, the room was really dilapidated, and there was a vicissitudes everywhere. The shopkeeper said that this is a "century-old shop", but I am afraid that there is still a modest component, and the incense is mixed with the smell of livestock, and the smell makes people feel like they are in a thousand-year-old tomb.

Settle the two children to sleep on the bed, and find a futon to sit cross-legged during the day. Cultivating as advanced as he is, he no longer needs to sleep, and he can relieve the fatigue of his body by just running the qi.
