"You two must keep your mouths shut in the future, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, we Qinghe Sect can't talk nonsense about anything under the mountain, if I find out in the future, you will never be allowed to go down the mountain!"

After leaving the street far away, Wang Yuanze was still scolding Liuyun and Guanhai.

"Master, we know, we promise not to talk nonsense in the future!" Liuyun Guanhai's frightened face turned pale and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Well, it's good to know, the people under the mountain have complicated thoughts, and they will have one more heart eye in the future!"

Wang Yuanze looked at the sun that was about to set and said: "Elder Niu, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, let's find a place to settle down first, and then buy the things we want to buy quickly, and go back to the mountain early tomorrow morning, I am a little worried about the two of them staying on the mountain!"

"What the head said is, but I haven't been down the mountain for ten years, the Niu family is sparsely populated in Qinghe Town, and only a distant nephew is still here, and now I don't know what the situation is, let's go and see first, it's best to stay overnight, I will arrange the rice, flour, grain and oil, and the head doesn't need to worry about it!"

So under the leadership of Daoist Niu, I turned a few corners on the street until I walked near a somewhat desolate river beach on the bank of the river, only to see a few dilapidated houses.

These houses are not large, and they are not the residence of rich people at first glance.

Wang Yuanze's heart suddenly cooled.

At this time, at sunset, there were people carrying baskets and carrying cattle and firewood one after another from outside, looking at the four Taoist priests who suddenly came, old and young, so they all slowed down and couldn't help but look a few more times, and some people seemed to recognize the cow Taoist priest, and couldn't help but come forward to ask.

"Aren't you the head of the Ox Dao of the Taoist Temple on the mountain?"

Niu Daoist smiled and nodded, so the people who recognized it suddenly became excited and excited, and they all stepped forward to greet Niu Daoist warmly, and at the same time, some people went straight to one of the houses, shouting that Niu Daoist was back, and soon two middle-aged couples wearing shabby clothes over half a hundred years old came out.

"If it's really the third uncle, we'...... We thought you ......"

"What are you crying about, the old man's life is very blessed, and he can't die!" Although Daoist Niu said indifferently, his old eyes were also a little ruddy, and he turned his head to introduce Wang Yuanze, "This is the old Taoist distant nephew Ping'an!"

Ten years of life and death!

Relatives naturally talked a lot when they saw each other, and there were more and more villagers around them, and soon this somewhat barren river beach was much more lively because of the return of the Niu Taoist priest.

More than ten minutes later, Wang Yuanze and the four of them were finally welcomed home by Niu Ping'an and his wife, looking at the low hall and dilapidated furniture, Wang Yuanze not only shook his head and sighed secretly.

Daoist Niu himself is alone, and his nephew's family is also poor, and it seems that there is little hope for the Niu family to help prepare for the rebuilding of the Qinghe faction in the future, so he can only slowly figure out a way by himself.

After drinking a bowl of coarse tea and chatting a lot about their respective situations in the past ten years, Niu Ping'an and his wife began to clean up their beds and cook, and settled down after being busy.

Although he was poor, this dinner was quite rich, with bacon and dried fish, as well as lotus root and greens, and Niu Ping'an even went to get a pot of wine back.

"Third uncle, in the past, you would go down the mountain at least two or three times a year, but ten years ago, there was suddenly no news, and I and a few people in the village wanted to go up the mountain to investigate, but were driven down by a few fierce Taoist priests?

Eating, drinking and chatting, Niu Ping'an asked about the situation on the mountain.

Daoist Niu did not say that the Qinghuang Seven Demons occupied the Taoist Temple and coveted the Patriarch's Cave, but only said that those Taoist priests were wanted criminals in the imperial court, hiding in Qingheguan for refuge, and they all left a few days ago before they could go down the mountain.

Niu Ping'an didn't look too closely, and said with red eyes: "The third uncle has not heard from him for ten years, I went to ask the mayor of the town several times, and he also said that there are tigers and wolves in charge of the mountain, and there are villains guarding them, so they don't let people go up, and then no one dares to go up the mountain, but I didn't expect these wicked people to be good-hearted, and they didn't embarrass the third uncle!"

Daoist Niu sighed in his heart, the Qinghuang Seven Evils killed his three apprentices, and he just felt that it was still useful to leave him alive, but at the moment these are no longer important, so he also said a few perfunctory words and no longer mentioned these past events, but said the embarrassment on the mountain and the food and clothing he planned to buy.

Niu Ping'an was suddenly a little ashamed, "Third uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, but there is no spare money at the moment, Dagen married a daughter-in-law a few years ago, and added two more babies in succession, only when the price of fish is expensive in the cold winter, I got some fish and sold it to make some money......"

"Uncle Ping'an, don't worry, we don't want you to pay, you are more familiar with Qinghe Town, help us come forward to buy some, and then find some porters to help you get up the mountain!" Wang Yuanze couldn't help but speak.

"This is definitely no problem, even if the third uncle and the head don't say it, I will help. Niu Ping'an's face improved a lot when he heard this, and he quickly nodded again and again.

"Peace, our old Niu family has always lived in Qinghe Town, and has not changed places for more than 2,000 years, you also know the relationship between the Niu family and the Qinghe faction, and now the Chen family is not willing to get involved in this trouble, and they have all moved away one after another, but even if our Niu family is poor and dies, we must guard the mountain gate, are the two babies of the Dagen family children children or girls?"

Niu Ping'an and his wife's faces turned pale instantly, and they said, "The big one is a baby, and the little one is a girl!"

"It's good to be a baby, if I die in the future, then let him go up the mountain, the foundation of the Qinghe faction can't be broken in the hands of our Niu family, otherwise in the future, when several ancestors return, our faces will have no place to rest!"

"Third uncle, isn't our Niu family going to break off?" Niu Ping'an said tremblingly.

"Fart, how can it be broken, just let Dagen and his daughter-in-law have a few more!" Niu Daoist was respectful to Wang Yuanze, but he was very unreasonable to his distant nephew, so Niu Ping'an almost cried when he said a word.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Ping'an, don't be afraid, Elder Niu is talking about fun, and besides, the children of Brother Dagen's family are still young, and it will not be their turn to guard the mountain gate at that time, these things will be talked about later, but if the children of Brother Dagen's family are of good quality, I can be the bishop of his immortal law at that time!"

Wang Yuanze hurriedly played the round.

This Niu Taoist priest is completely unsophisticated, he only has the Qinghe faction in his heart, his nephew has not seen him for ten years, and he will get other people's grandsons up the mountain to be a Taoist priest as soon as he meets, if he continues to talk, he will not be able to eat this happy meal.

"Does the head of the sect still know the immortal law?" Niu Ping'an wiped his tears and was stunned.

"Well, the Houshan Patriarch Cave appeared, and scared away all the bandits who occupied the Taoist Temple, I went in to see the ancestor master, he sent down the decree to let me take over as the head, and taught me the method of cultivating immortals, your Niu family has adhered to the ancestral teachings to protect the Qinghe faction for generations, I will definitely be rewarded as the head, and the people of the Niu family will be given priority when the time comes, so you don't think that it is not good to go up the mountain, and you will be an immortal when you go up the mountain in the future!"

"Three...... Third uncle, this ...... Is this true?" Niu Ping'an looked at Daoist Niu excitedly.

"Hmph, I'm old, I can't tell if it's true or not, what the head said is naturally true, but you don't have to be happy too early, tomorrow first help us buy the things we want to buy and send them up the mountain, we can't fix it if our minds are not pure!"

Daoist Niu snorted very unceremoniously, turned around and took out a money bag from his coat and put it on the table and said: "There is some silver in here, you can take it to sell rice, flour, grain and oil and some clothes and bedding to protect against the cold early tomorrow morning, and hire a few porters to help us send it up the mountain tomorrow.

"Yes, don't worry, third uncle, I'll arrange it early tomorrow morning!" Niu Ping'an nodded hurriedly.

Wang Yuanze also took out a heavy cloth bag and handed it to Niu Ping'an, "Uncle Ping'an, here are some jade jewelry, it should be worth some money, you take it to the town tomorrow or sell it, see if you can pick a lot in the town to buy a shop, in the future, the Qinghe faction will grow, and there must be a place to contact under the mountain, and you will be responsible for everything you want on the mountain, so that your family's life will also get some subsidies, and food, clothing, and housing can also be improved!"

"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely live up to the trust and arrangement of the boss!" Niu Ping'an instantly burst into tears of excitement, and choked up his voice as he took his pocket with both hands.

"It's such a big person, I cry at every turn, it's not as good as these two little dolls, it's a little bit good!"

After eating a meal for an hour, all things were arranged to stop in eating and drinking, and the ending was a happy ending, and Wang Yuanze didn't have to worry about the rest of the things, seeing that it was still early, he decided to take the two of them to the town for a walk.
