In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has arrived.

In order not to sweep everyone's happiness, Tian Xiaoding bought paper money, incense and other sacrifices in a few days before the year, and paid tribute to his friend Tang Yunzhi and his deceased wife Zhang Erniu in advance in an empty house in the cottage.

Thinking that it won't take long for the second girl to be resurrected, Xiaoding was not as sad as before when he paid tribute this time.

However, in the days after the Chinese New Year, he still seemed worried all day.

Several friends around Xiao Ding knew that Xiao Ding was worried about going to the Immortal Medicine Gate, so they didn't persuade Xiao Ding much.

In Tianyao Village, except for Xiao Ding, the other members were all beaming during the Spring Festival.

This is because on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Ding gave everyone another wave of benefits according to the value of the personal contributions of the members of Tianyao Village. Each of them was given between ten and one hundred white low-grade spirit stones, as well as a weapon-level weapon or armor.

Each member in Tianyao Village has a personal file record sheet, which records the contribution value of each member during the year, and the punishment value after doing something wrong.

The records of these personal files are all in the hands of the senior sister. If the members of the cottage do something beneficial to the cottage, the senior sister will give them extra points; If the members of the cottage do something harmful to the cottage, the senior sister will deduct points for them.

When the rewards are distributed at the end of the year, the score recorded on this file will be used as the standard for awarding rewards. If the contribution value is high, the reward will naturally be more. Those who contribute less will receive less rewards.

With this system of rewards and punishments, the members of the cottage for:

can get more rewards, they usually do their best to protect the interests of the cottage, and even in the face of small disputes between members, most of them choose to tolerate each other to avoid conflicts and be deducted points by the senior sister.

Most of the magic weapons that Xiao Ding distributed to everyone were low-level and middle-level, and high-level magic weapons accounted for only a few. Most of these magic weapons were snatched by Xiao Ding from other monks before, and the rest of the few parts were specially refined by him and Ou Muyun together with Ou Muyun.

In fact, after more than 20 years of development, Tianyao Village has already accumulated a lot of wealth under the management of Li Tianliang and others. If the cottage has money, there is naturally no shortage of resources. For those low-level weapons or armor, they can be purchased in the city's fangs.

Therefore, almost every member of Tianyao Village will have at least one magic weapon. It's just that since Xiaoding has sent it to everyone for free, everyone naturally has no reason not to want it. After all, if you have one more magic weapon, you may have one more chance to save your life.

Just like Elder Liu of Lingyun Gate, he took out a magic weapon, and was destroyed by Xiao Ding, if his magic weapon number was small, maybe he would be injured in Xiao Ding's hands that day.

This set of reward and punishment system for meritorious deeds is the system implemented in the army when Xiao Ding first crossed over to the Great Song Kingdom and led his troops to fight. Nowadays, it is also useful to manage cottages.

Xiao Ding stayed in Tianyao Village until the fifteenth day of the first month. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he once again proposed to go to the Immortal Medicine Gate. Everyone still persuaded him to leave after the New Year

。

In the concept of ancient people, for the New Year, it refers to the end of the first month, until the second dragon raises its head after February, that is the real New Year.

However, Xiao Ding couldn't stay still.

He spends his days in the cottage and doesn't have much to do. Because he had been thinking about the resurrection of the second girl in his heart, he couldn't calm down and cultivate.

So Xiao Ding decided that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he would leave Tianyao Village and go to the Immortal Medicine Gate.

After everyone persuaded him, they didn't persuade Xiao Ding, and they stopped stopping him.

However, Ouyang Qing and Ahri had to follow Xiao Ding together.

This is because the two of them are not familiar with the people in Tianyao Village, and once Xiao Ding leaves, it is not interesting for them to stay in the cottage. Although Ouyang Qing is slightly stronger than Ahri, and she also knows Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun, her relationship with these three people is not close, and she is even a little estranged. So the two of them repeatedly asked to follow Xiao Ding together.

In addition to Ouyang Qing and Ahri, Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun also offered to follow Xiao Ding together. The relationship between the three of them and Xiao Ding is very close, so they are not worried about Xiao Ding's safety, so they want to follow Xiao Ding together. After all, today's Fengluan Continent is not like before, who knows when the demon beasts will break through the large array on the front line and break into the interior.

However, Xiao Ding didn't plan to take so many people on the road with him. He patiently comforted Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun, and said, "You don't have to worry about my safety. I've been out there alone for so many years, and I've come back completely, too? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ding paused, and then

Then he said: "Moreover, during the time I left Tianyao Village, the opponents I met were of many ranks. Even the Demon King of the Demon Beast Alliance, I have faced him head-on, and although I didn't have any power to fight back against the Demon King, I still escaped from him. So you don't have to worry about me. ”

"That's right." Someone in the crowd responded.

Xiao Ding glanced at everyone and continued: "On the contrary, after I left, only the two Jindan monks of the Jindan period were left in the cottage, Senior Sister and Senior Brother Lu, although there are more than a dozen monks in our cottage who have successfully built the foundation, but they have just built the foundation, the foundation is still shallow, and it will take time to consolidate." Therefore, Yurou, Xiao'e, and Mu Yun, the three of you, it is better to stay in the cottage and assist the senior sister and his wife to guard the cottage. ”

Seeing that Xiao Ding was reluctant to take him with him, Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but the three of them also knew that what Xiao Ding said was not wrong.

For Xiao Ding, if he is in danger, then the fewer people he has with him, the better. There are few people with him, so it is convenient for him to get out. If there are too many people with him, once he encounters a strong enemy, he can't take care of it, even if he can escape, it is difficult for the people around him to escape together.

In this case, if you bring a lot of people, not only will you not be able to help, but it will become a drag.

Therefore, Xiao Ding resolutely disagreed to bring Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun.

On the contrary, for Ouyang Qing and Ahri, he did not refuse, and wanted to take the two of them with him.

This is, of course, because, Xiao Ding is the most

After entering the Qiankun pot world recently, he found that the snow feather coat had grown up at this time after decades of growth in the pot world, and was about to bloom.

The Immortal Medicine Gate is located in the Burial Soul Mountain, and if you go to the Immortal Medicine Gate from Tianyao Village, even if Xiao Ding uses Feiyun Shuttle to fly at the fastest speed, it will take at least twenty days to arrive. This one back and forth, but it will take about a month and a half, who knows if the snow feather coat will grow and mature during this time. Therefore, Xiao Ding still hopes that it will be better for Ouyang Qing to stay by his side.

As for Ahri, Xiao Ding naturally knew that she was not familiar with everyone in the cottage, and the only people she was familiar with were herself and Ouyang Qing, so Xiao Ding would not leave Ahri alone in the cottage.

After settling everything in the cottage, Xiao Ding went out of the mountain gate, drove Feiyun Suo, took Ouyang Qing and Ahri, and flew in the direction of Burial Soul Mountain.

Xiao Ding had a map of Fengluan Continent, so he could accurately find out the specific direction of the Immortal Medicine Gate.

After Xiaoding's transformation and upgrading several times, Feiyun Shuttle's speed is now the same as it was at the beginning.

After more than ten days of flying forward, it is almost the end of the first month.

At this time, on Fengluan Island, it is still the middle of winter, and there is no meaning of spring.

On this day, Xiao Ding was flying forward, and suddenly he saw two monks in the foundation building period, flying with flying swords, flying rapidly to the south.

Xiao Ding's flying cloud shuttle was flying in a northwesterly direction, but its trajectory was intersecting with the two monks flying south.

After getting closer, Xiao Ding found that two people flew from the north

The monks, a man and a woman, were about forty years old, and their cultivation was in the stage of building the third layer of foundation. The white robes they were wearing, on the front and back of their chests, were embroidered with the pattern of Taijitu.

When Xiao Ding saw these two people, he felt a little familiar, but for a while, it was difficult to remember who these two people were. After all, twenty years had passed on Tiankun Star, and even the people he knew before had definitely changed by now.

Xiao Ding didn't recognize who the two monks were, but the two monks did.

I only heard the male cultivator who was flying in front of him shouting at Xiao Ding: "Hey——, is the Daoist friend in front of you Brother Tian?" ”

When Xiao Ding saw that the other party recognized him, he immediately stopped Feiyun Suo, hugged his fists and said to the man: "It's Tian Xiaoding down there!" I am very familiar with Taoist friends, but I can't remember them for a while, and I don't know what to call them? ”

At this time, the two monks had also flown in front of Xiao Ding's Feiyun Suo, and saw the male cultivator say happily: "Brother Tian, I am Liang Nanguang, after so many years, I have grown old like this, and you have not changed your appearance, I don't know if you have practiced the exercises of rejuvenating the face, or have you taken the rejuvenating pill?" ”

As soon as Xiao Ding heard that the other party claimed to be Liang Nanguang, he immediately remembered that the first friend he met when he and Su Lanlan first arrived in Tiankun Star was this Liang Nanguang. At the beginning of the Cloud Piercing Mountain, Su Lanlan suddenly disappeared, and it was this Liang Nanguang who rescued her.

"It turned out to be Brother Liang! I did take the Anti-Yan Pill, so my appearance has not changed. Xiao Ding replied with his hand, and then looked at Liang again

The female cultivator behind Nanguang asked, "Brother Liang, I look a little familiar with this senior sister behind you, could she be Senior Sister Tan who was with you at the beginning?" ”
