Chapter 8: The Return

For a few days, that Hong Jiu Daoist would bring food to Ye Cheng on time.

Every time, he just greeted Ye Cheng and left directly.

Until the seventh day.

Daoist Hong Jiu did not bring Chinese food.

Ye Cheng thought that something was delayed.

It should be delivered later.

But wait until late afternoon.

Ye Cheng was so hungry that he cooed, and he didn't see the food sent by Daoist Master Hong.

In desperation, he could only pull a few bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and eat them raw.

The taste is slightly bitter.

If he wasn't so hungry, he wouldn't have eaten bamboo shoots, which only black and white beasts would eat.

"Could it be that something happened to Chongyang Temple?"

After Ye Cheng finished eating the bamboo shoots, he sat on the threshold, and a few bamboo shoots could barely fill his stomach, so that he would not be too hungry.

Moreover, he didn't want to eat anymore.

It's already dark.

Looks like I'm going to bed hungry today.

Ye Cheng sighed in his heart.

If only I could cook myself.

Although there are no vegetables, there is rice in the bamboo house.

He was so hungry now that he didn't even have the heart to practice his sword.

I miss my past life.

A takeaway can solve the problem of eating.

Forehead?

Suddenly, Ye Cheng heard movement outside, and someone was coming.

Could it be that Daoist Hong Jiu finally remembered to bring food to himself?

No, the footsteps don't look like those of Hong Jiu Dao Master.

Hong Jiu Daoshi's footsteps were very light and rhythmic.

And the footsteps he heard now were heavier, and there was a sense of urgency.

Based on this alone, Ye Cheng concluded that it was not Hong Jiu Daoist himself.

Ye Cheng's figure moved, and he hurriedly rushed into the bamboo house, looking outside through the gap in the window.

It was getting late, so it was foggy outside.

However, Ye Cheng is a white ape and has a certain ability of night vision.

Much stronger than humans.

Soon, he saw a figure come to the outside of the courtyard.

It seems to be the costume of a young Taoist.

Looks a little nervous and tiptoeing.

He was also carrying a lunch box in his hand.

Ye Cheng had never seen this young Taoist.

However, there are more than 1,000 Chongyang Guan Taoist books, and Ye Cheng has never seen it too normal.

"Xiaobai, I put the food here for you, you can come out and get it yourself."

The young Taoist did not enter the courtyard, took the food out of the lunch box, shouted towards the black bamboo house, and left without looking back.

It was dark and quiet, and there was a white ape hidden, and he was not very bold, and he did not want to stay for a moment.

The bamboo forest became quiet again.

Not long after, with a slight sound, a white shadow quietly came out of the bamboo house, and then carefully brought the meal that the young Taoist had put down.

The meals were very basic, not as hearty as the previous days.

It's kind of like leftovers.

If it weren't for being too hungry, Ye Cheng really didn't want to eat.

After eating, Ye Cheng touched his belly and finally felt a little more comfortable.

He guessed that it should be that Hong Jiu Daoist who had forgotten, and it wasn't until the evening that he remembered to bring food to him, maybe he couldn't get out, so he sent another Daoist.

"Also, Aunt Yu Zhen has been away for seven days, why hasn't she come back yet?"

Ye Cheng pondered in his heart.

Unfortunately, he is just a white ape and has no way to communicate with others.

Although he wanted to go out and see what was going on, he didn't dare.

Before Yu Zhen Daogu left, he could say that he should not leave here casually.

He is a white ape, no one is around to follow him, if he walks around casually in the Chongyang Temple, he may be treated as a beast that has strayed into the view.

Not everyone knows that Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu adopted a white ape.

For his own safety, he has to learn to protect himself.

Especially when Aunt Zhen Dao is away, you have to be more cautious.

"Hey, I hope Aunt Yu Zhen can come back soon."

Ye Cheng sighed.

Even if you travel to a strange world, you are still a white ape, and you still live in the human world, which is really insecure.

......

The next day.

The food was delivered on time.

It was not Hong Jiu who delivered the meal, but the young Taoist last night.

Although the person changed, but the food returned to before, Ye Cheng didn't care too much.

He just hoped that Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu would come back as soon as possible.

Sometimes, he really wanted to ask the young Taoist who delivered food, what did Yu Zhen Daogu do when she went out?

A few more days passed, and he practiced sword and martial arts every day, and his three meals a day were very punctual.

After so many days of trying, he was able to barely affect his internal qi.

Although it is not yet possible to truly control the operation of internal gas, this is already a great improvement.

Moreover, he thought of a good way, that is, when practicing the sword, he was distracted to control his internal qi.

The burst attack of the Chongyang Sword Technique is to mobilize internal qi.

Therefore, he believes that sword training and practice at the same time should help him master internal qi faster.

The idea is good, but it's too hard to do.

This is the equivalent of doing two things.

As a result, he frequently had problems practicing swords.

He was not discouraged.

As long as you stick to it, success is a matter of time.

His worries are growing now.

Because Aunt Yu Zhen still hasn't come back.

It's been almost half a month.

According to what Yu Zhen Daogu said when she left, it was only a few days.

But now it's been almost half a month, and I haven't come back yet.

And so it went on for a few more days.

On this afternoon, Ye Cheng squatted on the edge of the bamboo forest, staring at the soil hole under a bamboo.

The soil at the entrance of the cave is still fresh.

And the leaves of this bamboo are a little yellow.

Ye Cheng guessed that there must be something hidden in this earth cave.

As a white ape, he still has a very smart nose, and can smell a faint fishy smell that belongs to wild animals.

He's also idle now.

While wandering through the bamboo forest, I found this soil hole.

If there were wild things inside, he might be able to add a meal.

Although the young Taoist would deliver three meals on time, it could not actually meet his needs for sword practice every day.

In the past, when Aunt Yu Zhen Dao was there, in addition to the Qingling Pill, he often brought him medicinal food and meals.

Since Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu left, there has been no such treatment.

Ye Cheng didn't have the right tools around him, and if he really wanted to dig up the soil hole, it would definitely be a big project.

So, he prepared a rope and planned to make a simple trap.

As long as there are wild things hidden in this cavern, you will definitely be able to catch them.

In his previous life, he was a typical rural baby, going into the water to catch fish and go up the mountain to engage in wild things, which was a good hand.

Although he was reborn in this world and became a white ape, his craftsmanship was not lost.

Soon, Ye Cheng made a trap.

He also cleaned up the traces by the way.

As long as there are goods in the soil cave, they will definitely not be able to escape.

When you're done, it's time to go back.

He jumped directly into the air, jumped on a bamboo, kicked hard, jumped onto another bamboo, he was like a white elf, leaping wantonly in the bamboo forest, like walking on the ground.

His speed and agility now... has surpassed the average ape.

Soon, Ye Cheng quickly returned to the vicinity of the bamboo house with the help of bamboo.

Suddenly, he stopped, hooked the bamboo with his long arms, and looked at the bamboo hut from the air, and there was an additional figure.

It's Aunt Yu Zhendao.

She's finally back.

Ye Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, but his pupils immediately shrank, because Yu Zhen Daogu had an empty arm.
