On the Yellow Ancient Road, the leaves on both sides of the trees have fallen at some point, leaving only bare trunks.

There is no shadow in front, no sound in the back, even the birds and birds that are lively on weekdays are no longer silent, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a person riding a donkey, walking alone on the loess avenue.

The jingling of the bell around the donkey's neck added a touch of sparkle to the quiet scene!

Ye Chen was closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly felt a chill on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw snowflakes dancing in the sky.

"It's snowing!"

Ye Chen chuckled, he came from the summer time, and now it is winter, half a spring and autumn, from a mortal to a Jindan monk.

The life span is more than 600 years, if there are resources to continue life, it is not a problem to survive for seven or eight hundred years, it is not immortality for monks, for mortals, and even for gods.

If Jiang City was broken, Ye Chen would have already set off and traveled the world, but now he was entangled in trivial matters, not only could he not do what he wanted, but he would have worries about his life.

Ye Chen sighed and smiled faintly in his heart: "System, I'll fuck your uncle!" ”

Don't ask him why he doesn't scold, ask if he is a master now, and he has to maintain the image of a master, open his mouth and shut his mouth about your mother, so you can't integrate into the upper class.

The system is confused, good guys!

Tie Tie couldn't control so much, and the eyes of the donkey who stared at him when he saw the snowflakes falling were full of joy, and the donkey's tail was about to become a propeller!

Ye Chen hurriedly patted its head, "You be steady, we are masters now, if we are happy like before, it will damage our image!" ”

When Tie Tie heard this, he instantly became honest.

They were still heading towards the Chaolong River, preparing to cross the river and then go to the Sword Sect along the river.

Unlike the last time, he was in a slow hurry this time, although he was in a hurry, but this kind of thing didn't work.

There is no means to protect oneself, it is a moth to fight a fire, and in the past, it was also a food delivery.

A little further on, the scenery on both sides of the road changed, not the trees but the winter wheat that was still a little green.

An old farmer was digging something in the wheat field with his head down, and when he heard the jingling of bells, he looked up.

Seeing that it was a Taoist, the old farmer smiled and said: "It turned out to be a Taoist chief, who do I think the old man is herding cattle!" ”

Ye Chen responded with a smile, and when he saw him digging in the wheat field, he asked with some confusion:

"Uncle, the wheat fields are so abundant, why do you have to dig everywhere?"

He glanced at the wheat field, there were several large pits, and the soil that had been shoveled out was still mixed with the tender white roots of the wheat seedlings.

When the old farmer saw that he was puzzled, he laughed, and he explained: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, although this wheat seedling is luxuriant, but there are moles in this soil, and I am here to catch them!" ”

"If I don't care about these two handfuls of wheat seedlings for the sake of pity, my whole wheat seedling will be eaten by the mole, so isn't it a big loss?"

Seeing that Ye Chen nodded in agreement, the old farmer took out the dry food and said with a smile: "If the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, it's better to get off the donkey and come over to eat some dry food." ”

Ye Chen arched his hand, "I won't eat the dry food, but the old man's words are very interesting, and I want to hear about it!" ”

Saying that, Ye Chen jumped off Tie Tie's back, he touched Tie Tie's head, and admonished: "You are not allowed to eat other people's old man's wheat seedlings, you know?"

A flash of anger flashed in Tie Tie's eyes, "Ang Mm~Ang Mm~Ang~Mm~"

The meaning of Tie Tie is obvious, that is, what kind of donkey do you treat me, I don't eat grass, I want to eat meat!

Ye Chen glanced at him, who is a good donkey and wants to eat meat every day, "Okay, don't worry, when the matter is over, I will catch two pheasants for you to satisfy your hunger!" ”

The old farmer on the side was surprised, and when he heard Ye Chen's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

"Dao Chief, you donkey is so smart, it seems that you can understand human speech!"

Ye Chen walked towards the old farmer and responded with a smile: "Old man lift!" ”

When he walked up, the old farmer saw Ye Chen sitting on the ridge with his own ass, so he heard him smile and asked:

"Don't know the long name?"

Ye Chen shook off the dust, and then responded: "The common name of the poor road has long been forgotten, but the surname is Ye Hou who took refuge in Sanqing, and the Taoist name is mysterious!" ”

"My husband can call me Ye Xuanji!"

The old farmer chewed the cake in his mouth and kept chanting the three words Ye Xuanji, "It's really a good name." ”

Ye Chen shook his head and recited a Taoist number, "Poor Dao just heard the old man say that if you don't get rid of the mole, because of the small loss, please teach the old man!" ”

The old farmer nodded with a smile, lowered his head and pinched the soil mixed with wheat seedlings in his hand, and stuffed the cakes in his hand into his mouth in three or two bites.

Then the soil is crushed with both hands and gently blown off, leaving only the tender wheat seedlings.

"The old man asked, is the weight in my hand important?" Ye Chen immediately nodded, how can food not be important, unless people don't have to eat!

The old farmer nodded, and pointed to the whole field again, "I'll ask again, is it important in my hands or the whole field?"

Ye Chen also nodded, "Nature is the importance of the entire field. ”

"Then why not lose these few of them to save one?"

Ye Chen thought for a few breaths, then shook his head and said, "Uncle, why do you only need a few of them to make sacrifices and save the others?"

"Wouldn't it be unfair to them to do this?"

The old man couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and shook his head at Ye Chen and said, "Dao Chief, the disease is in the soil, the important thing is to eliminate the moles, they are just suffering incidentally!" ”

He glanced at Ye Chen with a smile, "What's more, they don't have the ability to resist, old man, I am the one who makes the decision." ”

"Today, the mole is at our feet, and I shovel the wheat seedlings under our feet to dig a pit, and even if they are dissatisfied, I can say that it is to save the others."

Seeing Ye Chen shaking his head, the old farmer smiled, "Dao Chief, this wheat seedling is the same as a person, if you want to change the status quo, you have to stand at the height of being able to change the status quo, and then display the justice and ambition in your heart." ”

"If you don't have the ability to stand at that height, or don't stand at that height, Mai Miao has no choice."

The old farmer scattered the wheat seedlings in his hand, threw them to the ground at will, and said:

"Dao Chief, do you think this is the reason?"

Ye Chen sat quietly, the old farmer's words were too domineering and bullying, but it was undeniable that what he said was right!

"Uncle, what if you are already standing at that height?"

The old farmer got up and patted the dirt on his clothes, "It's hard to say, some Mai Miao hate me, but there is nothing I can do about it, so I can only vent my hatred on other Mai Miao." ”

"When they get sick, they infect the ears of wheat with other seedlings."

"Some wheat seedlings are accustomed to suffering, so they want to sprinkle good seeds on the ground, wait for the next spring, and give birth to another batch of good malts."

"It depends on Mai Miao's mind!"

Ye Chen also got up and arched his hand towards the old farmer, "The old man really talks extraordinary, and he has been taught by the poor way!" ”

"Hey, where, it's just the growth of some wheat seedlings, it's not a conversation! The old farmer waved his hand.

Ye Chen said that, then he said goodbye to the old farmer, waited on the back of the donkey, and when he was about to leave, he listened to the old farmer and said to himself:

"Whether it is a sick wheat seedling or a non-diseased wheat seedling, it will be cut off, but the sick wheat seedling will not even wait for a day to be cut."

"If you don't want to be cut off, you have to grow into a good wheat seedling like a towering ancient tree."

"Alas, the snow is falling heavily, and I should go home too, old man, I don't know if the old woman has cooked or not......"

Ye Chen paused, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and said to Tie Tie: "Let's go!" ”

The jingling sound was heard again, only this time with snowflakes as its companion.

After walking some distance, I saw a village, which was full of people and sounded bustling.

Tie Tie kept screaming excitedly, wanting to go in and find something to eat, but was stopped by Ye Chen.

"Let's go, there's no one there, let's see if there's a village ahead!"

Tie Tie drooped his ears, walked one step and turned back three times, and when he had gone some distance, he looked back and saw that the village was slowly melting like snow.

Finally it was completely gone, and only one tomb after another stood silently, with decaying tombstones staggered and white sails hanging from dry branches.

As soon as the breeze blew gently, the white sail floated leisurely, Tie Tie's eyes froze, and in the next second, he saw that the graveyard was gone.

Nothing was gone, the village was gone, the cemetery was gone, as if it had never been, and it glanced at the wheat field before.

But there was no wheat field, and where there was only a barren forest, and all kinds of trees grew intricately, and they were of different sizes.

Tie Tie was so frightened that the donkey's eyes were round, Ye Chen wanted to comfort and comfort him, but at the moment when he put his hand on Tie Tie's head, Tie Tie seemed to have a conditioned reflex, and his four legs ran directly round.

The speed is almost out of the afterimage.

After running for nearly five or six miles, it gasped and stopped, not tired, but frightened.

Ye Chen hurriedly comforted, "Don't be afraid, they won't catch up." Ye Chen said with a smile, saying that he was also a demon beast in the Dan stage, but this courage was too small.

"Uh-ang~uh-ang~uh-ang~um"

"Don't worry, they won't catch up, let's go slowly!"

"Uh-ang ~ Ang-uh-......"

Ye Chen heard Tie Tie ask, and sighed lightly, "That old farmer started to be normal, just the last two sentences, I noticed that he was not alive, and I knew that he was not alive." ”

Although the village was full of people, there was no anger in it, how could it be that there were living people!

"Ang hmm~ ang hmm... Well, Ang ......"

Ye Chen smiled, "He is not simple, and the words he said are not ordinary, he is reminding me that someone is cutting wheat one by one." ”

"It's hard for me to investigate the truth, we are all wheat seedlings that can be pulled out by that person at will, and only by becoming a real strong person can we contend with it."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he muttered softly, "I made a vow to heaven, how could I become a sick wheat seedling, I was already infected with the disease, and I can only be cured." ”

He smiled when he finished speaking, but if you look closely, you can see a chill in his eyes.

"Hehe, if anyone pulls me, I will let him leave his palm and become my nutrients!"

With that, he scratched at Tie Tie's neck, "Let's go, I have a hunch, this interesting old farmer, we will meet again!" ”

As soon as Tie Tie heard it, Mao was blown up, see you, in fact, this kind of thing is enough once, and there is no need for goodbye!

"What are you afraid of, with me, I can still leave you behind and run alone!"

Tie Tie was silent, and stared at Ye Chen, "Okay, maybe I'll throw you down and run alone, but it's possible that I'm going to move the rescuers?"

……

"Okay, even if I didn't move the rescuers, I'll definitely find another way to save you!"

"You don't believe me so much?"

“……”

"Your uncle, you can't leave yet, if you keep your mother staring at me, I'll throw it down for you now, and let him catch it for you!"

On the ancient road, suddenly the donkey barked, a burst of dust flew, and the sound of trampling was endless!
