Chapter 15 - The So-Called Old Man
"Is the village chief here?"
"Come in. Ji Wuming said in a deep voice.
"What kind of trial is the village chief going to give me? Ling Yun said expressionlessly, knowing that he was colluding with his uncle without thinking about it.
It would be strange if the uncle hadn't bribed the village chief.
"Gather mead. Five taels is enough. Ji Wuming knocked on his cigarette gun and looked up at the child. It seemed to wait for the man's wail.
"Good. Ling Yun turned around and left, without any place to argue.
"It's just the honey of the Yellow Turban Bee, understand?" Seeing Ling Yun walk out of the room, Ji Wuming hurriedly added.
"Okay. Ling Yun paused, walked out of the door, and let the autumn wind blow on the placket of his clothes.
"Gather the honey of the golden bee? A cold light flickered in Ling Yun's eyes.
This task sounds simple, but it's actually quite complex. Golden bees are rare, and to collect them, you have to go deeper into the forest.
Each of the golden bees is the size of a fist, not to mention that these bees are full of aggression, and they are as dazzling as gold with sharp spikes. If you are not careful, you will die here.
In addition, small beehives are usually honey-only, and only larger hives may have honey because there is too much honey.
"If I were a normal person, or even just a spirit, it might be too difficult for me, but I've reached the spirit stage and have enough strength to steal this honey. ”
"It seems that this Ji Wuming has studied Suxia Mountain very deeply. ”
Ling Yun felt that he was in danger now, as if he was already on the edge of a cliff, he was holding a weed in his hand, and he was constantly using the power of the weed to maintain his balance.
All he had to do now was to try to climb up and climb to the top while the weeds in his hands were still able to maintain something called sanity.
If he succeeds, he will be able to obtain the family property, and his state of mind cultivation will be able to reach a higher level.
If he fails, he will be doomed and will need more time and energy to make up for his failure.
"No matter what happens in the future, let's get started. Ling Yun took a deep breath and looked at him.
......
Time has passed.
Back in the village, it was very comfortable to step on the bluestone road, and there was no rustling sound.
People either looked back at Lingyun, or stood in the distance. In short, it is far away from Ling Yun.
"I guess there are rumors circulating in the village that are not good for me. ”
Many villagers completed the day's tasks, with a tired face, dragging muddy shoes, and silently moving forward with tiredness.
The people in this world are not happy with their lives, and the hardships hidden behind them are indescribable.
The sunset gradually moved from one side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain as the dark clouds tilted, and the afterglow sprinkled in the mountain village of Sushita, light and shadow were staggered.
"Ah...... My toys. A child screamed and chased after a toy.
The top-shaped thing rolled right at Ling Yun's feet, and the child didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, and was knocked to the ground by Ling Yun.
"Ah, Nuan Nuan, you're okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't kill my daughter. The child's mother quickly apologized, almost in a voice of fear in fear.
"Wow, ahhh The girl trembled with fright, and silver beads kept falling on her white and tender face.
Others looked at this scene indifferently, and they all avoided it and walked around one after another.
No one wants to come forward to mediate, and no one wants to
"I didn't think it would be long before I left, and the wind in the whole village changed completely. ”
"Don't make a fuss!! the girl's father watched from afar, and finally couldn't help it, rushed over, and was about to greet the girl's face.
"It's okay, can you not do this?" Ling Yun frowned and grabbed the girl's father's arm, making it difficult for his hand to move like a rock.
He smiled gently at the girl and touched her head, "Are you okay, don't be afraid, my brother is standing next to you." ”
The girl sobbed, stopped crying, looked at the man with big watery eyes, and suddenly felt that the big brother in front of her was not as vicious as it was rumored.
"Let's go, let's go!!" The girl's father hurriedly pulled his wife and daughter away from Ling Yun, but he didn't expect that his momentary negligence almost killed his daughter.
The girl waved goodbye to Ling Yun in a daze, and was pulled away by her father.
Ling Yun turned his head, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
Not far away, the man named Uncle stood far away, watching Ling Yun's every move, obviously where he had been waiting for a long time.
Perhaps the moment Ling Yun stepped into the village, this person named Uncle already knew.
He wore a rare cultivator's clothes today, with bracers on his hands and an emerald green belt around his waist. A solemn and neat body, setting off his majesty.
"Unexpectedly, did he turn out to be a cultivator too?"
He watched Ling Yun slowly walk towards him, glanced at the top of Ling Yun's head and chest, and couldn't help but feel like this when he was young.
"If I'm not mistaken, his qualifications shouldn't be enough for him to become a cultivator. Is there anything I haven't discovered?"
Immediately afterwards, the uncle saw a smile on the corner of Ling Yun's mouth, which made the uncle feel unstable.
A wave of anger welled up in his heart: "This guy, how dare you do this! Is this thinking that you will eat me?"
Ling Yun walked over and stopped in front of his uncle, this was still a meeting between the two in the true sense of this life, and both sides knew the inevitable result.
Sure enough, my uncle was the first to speak, breaking the embarrassment that had been silent for a long time, "Lingyun, I think we can talk about it seriously." ”
"What are you talking about?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, does this kind of knowingly ask still need words?
"You must be curious about how this cultivation on me came about, I am different from you, when I was fifteen years old, I left home, and your father drove me away. ”
"At that time, when the beast herd broke out, the sect I joined sent us to the front, and as a result, there were many casualties, and my qualifications are much better than yours. ”
"At that time, I was young and frivolous, thinking that I would soon reach the spirit master stage. After all, I'm already a beginner at the age of sixteen, a mid-level spirit at the age of seventeen, and an advanced spirit at the age of eighteen, so I will almost be able to enter the spirit master. ”
"Haha, I was so frivolous at that time that I didn't care about anything, in the year when I was about to break through the spirit master, I was sent out on a mission, but I didn't expect that the enemy had already been ambushed, haha, if I hadn't used all the spirit stones I had accumulated to let the elders of the Medicine Hall treat me, I might have died a long time ago. ”
"Since then, I have found that my cultivation has been declining, no matter how hard I try, my talent is getting worse and worse, and I have spent eight years in a slump!"
"When I was 30 years old, I finally understood! My strength is limited, the most important thing is popularity, I was unpopular at that time, as long as I did not break away from the group, I was still strong. Isn't the most important thing in this world about human relations being a human being? ”
"I gave up the things of the sect, returned to my hometown alone, and returned to this poor and white mountain village. At that time, there were no bluestone pavements on the ground. Your father's property was secretly financed by me, and I gave all my family property to your father, but I didn't expect him to betray me. ”
"Drove me outside and endured the wind and rain. Hehe, brotherhood, but that's it, what told me to continue to return to the sect is just to let me continue to suffer and suffer. ”
"Look at it now, I have an unparalleled influence in this mountain village, who can compare to me? Ji Wuming? haha. A few days after you're gone, the wind has changed the direction of the whole village. ”
