Chapter 22: Fate Worries, Crisis in a Month and a Half
Liu Muyun's cooking skills are becoming more and more like the chefs of the mortal world, with all the color, flavor, spicy and sweet, crispy and fragrant.
In particular, a crystal clear, neatly placed braised pork, melts in the mouth, soft but not greasy, with a pot of old wine, heaven and people can not enjoy this deliciousness.
A mouthful of meat, a mouthful of wine, race against everyone in the world.
Watching Chen Yuan eat the food he made one bite at a time, a smile appeared on Liu Muyun's gloomy face, and after a while, he regained his composure.
Chen Yuan naturally noticed the change in Liu Muyun's face, but he didn't say anything, quietly eating the food on his plate.
"Brother Chen......" The girl stopped talking.
Chen Yuan was just bowing his head and drinking and eating meat.
"He's coming back soon......"
After saying these words, the girl's body began to tremble unnaturally, the existence of "him" made her unable to sleep at any time, and every time she thought of it, she would be like falling into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold.
"A month and a half, a month and a half later, he came back. I...... I want to run away ......."
This sentence is the girl's true thoughts, with her and Chen Yuan's strength, there is only one way to die against that "him".
"Run? Where can you escape? He has raised you for more than ten years, and he must have already done something to you, otherwise he would not have left Maple Leaf City alone for two years. He is not afraid of you escaping at all, even if you flee from the Northern Regions to Zhongzhou or Southern Xinjiang, he will always find you. This is a definite fact. ”
Chen Yuan's opening made the girl whose whole body trembled once again see hope. In fact, on the day Chen Yuan left Tingxi Bamboo Garden, the girl was ready to run away at any time, but she didn't want to be alone.
"Does Brother Chen have any plans?" Liu Muyun asked tremblingly.
"Nope. All the water comes to cover the earth. This is also Chen Yuan's true thoughts.
"But our strength level ......," the girl was still worried.
"There are no absolutes in the world. A snake can swallow an elephant, and a man can cut off a god. Your master is not invincible. As long as you and I do our best, even if the result is really the worst, we can only say that it is our destiny. ”
"I don't believe in fate, but I believe in results. There will never be a single outcome for anything. Maybe we can do that second result. ”
Liu Muyun also knew that her escape was useless, but she still hoped to be able to stay away from Maple Leaf City and the place that made her remember it deeply.
Hearing Chen Yuan say this at this moment, her heart opened up a lot, maybe they can really create miracles.
The girl continued to accompany Chen Yuan to eat, like a mortal husband and wife sitting in the middle of the lotus flowers in the stream, like immortals in the world, envious of everyone in the world.
And on the branch of a giant tree not far from the bamboo garden, there is such a person.
This man was an old man with ragged clothes and fluffy hair, holding a jet-black wine gourd in his right hand and a chicken leg in his left hand.
"So you're waiting for this kid. The old man wants to see how you fight against the blood god son in a month and a half. ”
The old man poured half a pot of wine into his mouth, and lay down on the branch leisurely, as if the branch was his home and his bed.
Chen Yuan and the others naturally didn't know about the existence of the old man, and after eating together, they walked to their rooms separately.
Luochen County and his party made Chen Yuan fully realize his shortcomings.
The second layer of qi refining, the lowest existence in the monk world, any monk with a background and strength can regard the second layer of qi refining as an ant and crush it at will.
"The world of monks is a world where strength is respected. Only strength is fundamental, everything else is floating clouds. ”
After Chen Yuan, who was cultivating cross-legged, checked his storage bag, he found that half of the hundreds of Qi Gathering Pills had been consumed, and there were only about thirty Poison Qi Gathering Pills left. For him now, these are simply not enough.
"It's time to go to Recreation City."
After packing up all his belongings and taking inventory, Chen Yuan got up and walked out of his room.
Kangle City, a small city much smaller than Luochen County, has a population of about hundreds of thousands, and most of them are mortals. However, because it is relatively close to Maple Leaf City and Luochen County, there are also many casual cultivators living here.
A force like the Shendantang also has its own semicolon in the small Kangle City, but compared to the semicolon in Maple Leaf City, the Shendantang here is much smaller, and its deacon is only a minor monk of the fifth level of Qi refining.
If you need to buy alchemy, Shendantang is naturally the best place to go.
"This fellow Daoist, I don't know if you want to buy or sell?"
Deacon of Shendantang, a middle-aged monk in his thirties, asked respectfully.
"One-Star Qi Gathering Pill, I don't know how you can buy it here?" Chen Yuan asked.
"A piece of spirit stone, if the quality is good, the price can be negotiated."
The price was similar to what Chen Yuan imagined, and in a small place like Kangle City, it was already a high price to be able to buy a Qi Gathering Pill with a spirit stone.
"How many spirit stones can you give this bottle of Qi Gathering Pill?"
Chen Yuan naturally took out a bottle of One-Star Qi Gathering Pill from his storage bag, which contained a total of one hundred and eight pills.
"Since it is a one-star elixir of excellent quality. In this way, this number will be purchased for one hundred and ten spirit stones. If you are satisfied, we will close the deal now. ”
Because of the Yin Yang Ding, there were not many spirit stones left in Chen Yuan's hand, and although the one hundred and ten spirit stones were still a little few, they at least solved the urgent need and allowed him to raise at least two low-grade magic weapons to the middle grade.
The deal was reached, and Chen Yuan walked out of the Shendan Hall, but at this time, two monks in strange costumes, one fat and one thin, were eyeing Chen Yuan, who had succeeded in the transaction.
"Big brother, this kid's strength is the same as that of you and me, just for the second layer of qi refining, you and I should be able to succeed if we join forces."
The fat friar whispered to the thin monk beside him.
"After three days of squatting, I finally let you and my brother catch an unlucky ghost with a lot of money and low strength. You and my brother, take him down. ”
The two monks quietly followed behind Chen Yuan.
Although Chen Yuan's perception had not reached a very high level, it was much stronger than that of an ordinary second-level Qi Refining Cultivator. When the two monks, one fat and one thin, had just moved their steps, they already felt something.
Walking slowly, after bypassing the many alleys of the recreation city, Chen Yuan's footsteps finally stopped in the open space behind a room.
"Two fellow Daoists, it's been almost an hour. It's time to show up. ”
Chen Yuan's voice fell, and the wind behind him rose together, and the two monks, one fat and one thin, both pressed towards Chen Yuan with fireball techniques.
After simply taking a picture of a shield talisman on his body, Chen Yuan, who didn't say too much, shot a second-grade golden sword talisman, a huge golden sword that slashed the top of the opponent's head after smashing the fireball thrown by the fat monk.
"Second brother, be careful!"
When the golden sword fell, the fat monk of the second layer of Qi refining was like a little doll who had not been in battle, his face was full of shock and shock, since he had forgotten to dodge and defend.
The Thin Monk seemed to have a lot more combat experience than the Fat Monk, and when he saw Chen Yuan throwing out the Golden Sword Talisman without using the Fireball Technique, he already knew that they had encountered a hard stubble.
Hurriedly protected his body with spiritual power, and rushed towards the sluggish fat monk not far away, as if he wanted to use his own body to carry the golden sword.
The fat monk was pushed out of the ground and slammed into the ground, while the thin monk took the golden sword that fell from the sky with both arms.
Blood flowed, and after this sword, the thin monk's arms were almost destroyed, but he still held on.
"Big brother, I'll save you."
Seeing that his eldest brother was suppressed by the golden sword, the fat monk hurriedly ran towards Chen Yuan, trying to attack with the fireball technique again.
"Second brother, let's go. You are no match for him. ”
Blood flowed down his wrists on his shirt, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the thin monk had reached the end of his crossbow, and with a slight force from the golden sword, he could be killed on the spot.
"Do you think he'll be able to walk?"
Chen Yuan's words were cold, and after injecting another layer of power into the golden sword with his right hand, several fireballs popped out in a row with his left hand, blocking all the retreats of the fat monk.
"Seniors, seniors spare their lives. My two brothers also had no intention of offending, but they were forced to be helpless. I also ask my seniors to forgive me for the inadequacy of the two of us. ”
The thin monk gritted his teeth, resisting the slow downward force of the golden sword with all his might.
"Oh, forced to be helpless? You have to tell me why you are forced to be helpless? And why did you make a move? ”
Chen Yuan, who had a cold face, added another point of strength in his hand.
"The cause of the incident lies with my third sister who loves to play."
It turned out that the fat and thin monks belonged to the sworn brothers, and they also had a sworn sister, and the three of them practiced on a nearby hill called the Wolf Tooth, and they called themselves the Three Masters of the Wolf Tooth.
In addition to cultivating, the three of them made a living as caretakers of the homes of the nearby mortal villagers.
Ten days ago, a large family surnamed Ma in Kangle City celebrated the full moon for their newborn grandson, in order to ensure the safety of the full moon wine, and to prevent the nearby mountain bandits from taking the opportunity to plunder.
The family surnamed Ma invited their wolf tooth three tyrants to ensure the smooth progress of the full moon wine.
The full moon wine of the Ma family was indeed successfully over, but their third sister was targeted by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and not long after the three of them left the Ma family, the three of them met a monk of the third level of the Heavenly Demon Sect's Qi Refining.
Because her strength was too low, the third sister was arrested by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, that day, the Demon Sect monks didn't seem to be the most heinous people, and they were given a way to let their third sister go.
As long as they can take out a low-grade magic weapon, they can return it to their third sister.
And a low-grade magic weapon needs at least a hundred spirit stones, like them, they don't have spirit stones to buy a Qi Gathering Pill, they can only rely on the low-level scattered cultivation offered by mortals, where did they get a hundred spirit stones.
In order to rescue their third sister, the two squatted near the Shendan Hall for three days, just to find an unlucky ghost who met the conditions.
And Chen Yuan is what they consider to be the unlucky ghost.
It's just that they misjudged Chen Yuan's strength.
"Heavenly Demon Sect again? This Heavenly Demon Sect has captured mortal girls, and now it has arrested low-level female cultivators. What exactly do they want to do? ”
Putting away the golden sword talisman, Chen Yuan said: "For the sake of your brother and sister's deep affection, I will spare you from dying." Hurry up and get out. ”
Chen Yuan didn't want to provoke the Heavenly Demon Sect again, so he wouldn't bother to ask about the fat and thin monks, he needed to find the black market for monks in Kangle City now.
Turning to leave, Chen Yuan re-entered the recreation city, but the fat and thin second monk did not leave immediately, a hundred feet apart, followed closely behind.
