When Zhongli and Chongming Bird entered the city, it was already dawn, and after entering the city, many shops on the street had opened their doors to do business, and there were more and more passers-by.

A person and a bird hurried from the Spirit Mining Area to this Sunset City, and they had not eaten yet, and at this moment, they smelled a lot of fragrant food, and they were all a little hungry, and Zhongli's stomach was growling.

Although Zhongli didn't have the gold and silver money used by mortals, he always had a hundred lower-grade spirit stones that Yi Yenan had bought him half a bear's paw for, so he went to a pawn shop and exchanged a lower-grade spirit stone for ten thousand taels of gold.

The spirit stone is only so precious, because the heaven and earth aura contained in it is more pure than the heaven and earth aura attracted by many monks, but Zhongli does not need it, the heaven and earth aura he attracts is more special, even more pure than the heaven and earth aura in the best spirit stone.

Holding the silver ticket of 10,000 taels of gold, Zhongli couldn't help but be in a trance, remembering that when he was young, he lived with the old beggar every day for a few pennies, and at this moment he had 10,000 taels of gold in his hand, but he never returned to that time.

Throwing off the emotion in his mind, Zhongli and Chongming Bird also changed into clean clothes after a big meal, but they were not so glamorous and gorgeous, they were still plain clothes.

It may be that he is used to eating snacks, and although he has ten thousand taels of gold in his hand at this moment, he is still reluctant to buy something too good, for this matter, Chongming Bird is in a place where no one is, and I don't know how many times I have talked to Zhongli.

Xuanguang Temple is halfway up the hill on the edge of the Sunset City, because a person and a bird have been delayed a lot of time on the road, when they came to Xuanguang Temple, it was already noon.

"Is this where you lived when you were a kid?" asked the Chongming Bird as it spun in the air before returning to Zhongli's shoulder.

Xuanguang Temple, not so much a temple, is more of a dilapidated stone house, not even a compound, only a small house, there is a statue standing in it, the statue has been incomplete.

The three big characters of 'Xuanguang Temple' hanging on the door have been blurred after the invasion of the years.

No one cleaned it for years, and the weeds grew even higher than the fence.

Zhongli picked up the weeds blocking the gate and walked in, seeing that the environment inside was exactly the same as his childhood impression, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yes, when I was a kid, I lived here with my old beggar grandfather, and I slept there every night," Zhongli said, pointing to the bottom of the sculpture and introducing the bird.

"Every time it was windy and rainy, the old beggar grandfather would hold me in his arms and protect me from the slightest suffering, and the old beggar grandfather would take me with me wherever I went. ”

"Also, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I see the old beggar grandfather standing in my current position, looking south, and not sleeping for a long time. ”

"Sometimes I ask the old beggar what his grandfather is looking at, and he always laughs and says that he will know when I grow up and become stronger. Zhongli stood at the threshold, looking down at his feet, recalled.

As he spoke, Zhongli suddenly cried: "I... When I was a child, I thought that when I grew up and made money, I could take my old beggar grandfather to live in a big house without worrying about daily food. ”

"But eleven years have passed, and now the old beggar grandfather is gone, woo woo!"

Seeing Zhongli fall into memories, Chongming Bird began to cry, stretched out his wings to wipe his tears, and comforted, "Didn't you say that your Senior Brother Ma asked you to come back here." ”

"Let's look for it first, maybe the old beggar grandfather has something left for you. ”

"Hmm!" Zhongli wiped his tears, stopped crying, no longer remembered, life is inevitably life and death, but it has been too depressed recently, and after crying, he has recovered his mentality.

Zhongli and Chongming Bird were in the Xuanguang Temple, cleaning and searching again, and for a whole afternoon, the Xuanguang Temple had been cleaned very cleanly, and one person and one bird carefully searched each place, but nothing was found.

"Let's stay here for the rest of our time. Zhongli wiped Han from his forehead, and at this time, the clothes he had just changed in the morning were already smelling of sweat.

Zhongli and Chongming Bird had already agreed that when Zhongli entered the Lingwu Realm and had the strength to protect himself, he would go to Biyun Sect to inquire about the whereabouts of Ma Yun and Mu Yuxuan.

And choosing to live in Xuanguang Temple, away from the market, is to consider the safety of Chongming Bird, it is also much more convenient here, Chongming Bird can talk and communicate with Zhongli, and there is no need to worry about being discovered.

After deciding on one person and one bird, they went to the market to buy some daily necessities such as food and bedding and stayed here for a short time.

......

"Hmph, they're all sixteen-year-old adults, and they still like to eat such childish things as sugar gourds. Chongming Bird looked at Zhongli with disdain and said.

"Hahaha, who was crazy at the bazaar just now and hinted that I went to buy sugar gourds to eat. Zhongli carried a few big burdens on his back, and ate a few strings of sugar gourds in one hand.

Although Chongming Bird had a disdainful expression on his face, his eyes kept staring at the sugar gourd in Zhongli's hand, swallowing his saliva.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it! You've already eaten a dozen skewers, and I've eaten less than half of them. Zhongli turned his head to look at Chongmingniao's expression and said with a playful smile.

Although he said this, after a while, Zhongli gave Chongming Bird a few strings of sugar gourds, and one person and one bird walked back to Xuanguang Temple like this.

"Hey, why is Xuanguang Temple surrounded by people!" After Chongming Bird exclaimed, it seemed to stand on Zhongli's shoulder and couldn't see clearly, and flew into the air.

When Zhongli heard this, he looked up at the halfway up the hill, and found that there was indeed a dense crowd surrounding the Xuanguang Temple, and he couldn't help but run to the hillside in a hurry.

"Who's coming! "A non-commissioned officer dressed as an officer and soldier saw Zhongli running up the mountain, pointed a knife at Zhongli, blocked the way, and forbade him to go up the mountain.

Zhongli saw that Xuanguang Temple was surrounded by dozens of officers and soldiers, and was blocked from the way, so he hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, I live in this Xuanguang Temple, and I don't know what happened here and why I surrounded it. ”

This is where he lived as a child, and he has deep feelings, and now he plans to live for a short time, but he can't be destroyed.

When the officers and soldiers blocking the way heard this, they looked at Zhongli with a look of surprise and asked, "You live here, don't you have any relationship with the flower thief Cao Chun, arrest him!"

With a wave of his hand, four or five officers and soldiers immediately surrounded him, trying to catch Zhongli.

Zhongli looked up and saw that the Chongming Bird had flown into the Xuanguang Temple, and he was relieved, but he was extremely helpless in his heart, could he have another fight, and he didn't want to be caught, so he could only speak quickly.

"Wait, my lord, I just returned to Sunset City today, and I don't know any flower thieves, I think you're mistaken. Zhongli was still holding the sugar gourd, shaking his hands into a fist and arching, signaling not to catch the wrong person.

After hearing this, the officer and soldier sneered and said: "I just came back to Richeng today, and I still live in this wilderness, so I can say such a lame excuse, and I dare to say that I don't know the flower thief?"

Several officers and soldiers who had stopped hearing their superiors' orders again, directly picked up the big knives in their hands, and pressed towards Zhongli.

Looking at the few people who came up, Zhong Li couldn't help frowning, how could he be reasonable and not listen, did he have to use his fists, Zhong Li untied the package on his back and put it on the ground.

Several officers and soldiers thought that Zhongli was tied up, and were about to go up and put shackles on him, when a shocking protrusion occurred.

"My lord, Cao Chun is out!" suddenly shouted an officer and soldier who was surrounded in front.

When the officers and soldiers who were originally staring at Zhongli heard the shout, they immediately turned around and saw a man standing on the wall of Xuanguang Temple.

It was a very beautiful man, in his twenties, with long eyebrows like willows, like a jade tree, dressed in a long robe and white clothes, and his appearance seemed to be debauched, but the inadvertent light in his eyes made people dare not ignore it.

Zhongli had to admit that this was an extremely rare beautiful man, but he didn't want to be a flower thief.

When the officer and soldier who was obviously the leader saw the man appear, he sneered and said: "Cao Chun, there are so many people here today, you are unable to fly, I advise you to quickly tie your hands and arrest them, and you can suffer a little less." ”

Cao Chun looked at the officers and soldiers who spoke, and said with a sneer: "Heh, it's really ridiculous, Shanshan and I are in love, but you Liucheng Lord made a hindrance from it, and beat the mandarin duck in front." ”

"Now that he has forced me to marry the daughter of this city lord, I will not give me the name of this flower thief, I can't catch me, and I will implicate a young man, Sunset City is really shameless!"

When the leading officers and soldiers heard Cao Chun's words, they were furious and shouted angrily: "What nonsense, shame on me! Brothers, give it to me!"
