Chapter 38: The Cellar Lost
Ding Xing took Wu Shizong and Leng Erniang back to the orange garden.
When she arrived in the garden, Fang Liangu snatched the unconscious Leng Erniang, probed her nose, touched her pulse again, and suddenly cried.
The moment Leng Erniang was taken out of the pit by the little golden snake, her vitality had actually been cut off.
All Ding Xing rescued was a corpse.
He saw Fang Liangu's pathetic tone, which was the true expression of true feelings that only the loss of a loved one, so he comforted: "You mourn and change." ”
This bloody accident broke out too suddenly, Ding Xing had done his best, and he had no shame in his heart.
Fang Liangu endured her grief and looked at him gratefully: "Ding Gongzi risked his life to take back Erniang's corpse and prevent her from being devoured by the ant demon, this is a great kindness, I will repay you on her behalf in the future!"
She is already in her thirties, if she was placed in the mortal world, she should have married and had children a long time ago, but she embarked on the road of cultivation, abandoned her family and relatives, and wandered for half her life, only Leng Erniang, a confidant, could not imagine dying in front of her today.
She is saddened by the tragic fate of her friend, and she is also feeling lost.
I thought that I would have to walk a single shadow in the future, but the road ahead was lonely and desolate, how should I carry it?
Thinking of this, she was even more distressed, and she couldn't help but start crying again.
Ding Xing couldn't understand the vicissitudes of cultivation like her, thinking that she was just sad for Leng Erniang, so he didn't bother.
Ding Xing lowered his hand and went to probe Wu Shizong's snort, this person is still alive, but his injuries are quite serious, if he is not diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, I am afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of Leng Erniang.
"Brother Ding, I have healing spirit wine here, which can heal Uncle Wu!"
At this time, the little Wu brothers came from the berry farm, and the elder brother Wu Changsui handed the spirit wine to his younger brother Wu Changling, and asked Wu Changling to take the spirit wine for Wu Shizong.
Since the generation of Wu Shizong, the Wu family has taken names no longer according to the generation.
Therefore, Wu Changsui and Wu Changling are of the same generation as Ding Xing's cousin Wu Lianchen, but the names are not repeated, unlike their grandfathers Wu Shiqu and Wu Shiqing, who are of the same generation when they hear it.
After pouring wine into Wu Shizong, the two brothers came to Ding Xing together, knelt down, and clasped their fists and saluted: "Chang Sui (Chang Ling) thanked Brother Ding for saving his life! If you hadn't rescued us just now, we would have died in the ant cave, and we would have failed our grandfather's sacrifice of his life.
These two brothers are straightforward and fast-talking, both of them have a tendon temperament, and when they saw Ding Xing in the past, they inevitably had to ridicule a few little drunks, but they are also people who dare to be brave, and they are resolutely rewarded by Ding Xing's great kindness.
didn't wait for Ding to wake up and help them up.
Wu Changsui took out the demon corpse and demon pill of the iron-backed locust earlier, and handed it to Ding Xing: "My master stuffed Chu Bao's sleeve on me before he died, this demon beast was originally killed by Leng Erniang and Brother Ding, and it should be returned to you!"
Wu Changling picked up a spirit stone leather bag: "We don't know what kind of treasure Brother Ding likes, so we will simply give you spirit stones as a reward, we only have these more than 300 pieces on us in total, I hope Brother Ding will not be too little." ”
Ding Xing pondered for a moment, only took one demon pill, and didn't ask for the rest.
Seeing that the two brothers were in a hurry, he explained: "What I have done, I think it is worth the price of this demon pill! You have just lost your ancestors, you need to handle the aftermath, you don't have to pretend to be generous, we will be neighbors in the future, there are many places where we need to help each other, and I have accepted politeness and dealt with this disaster wholeheartedly!"
When the two brothers heard this, they behaved differently.
Wu Changsui looked convinced, thinking that the neighbors all called Brother Ding a little drunkard, and he had joked about this nickname before, but Brother Ding was open-minded and didn't take it to heart at all.
The key Ding brother is only fourteen or fifteen years old, nearly a round younger than himself, but he is not greedy, not anxious, not arrogant or fearless, and acts frankly and uprightly, and is really heroic.
Although the world of cultivating immortals only talks about cultivation as supernatural powers, not about quality and morality, even if they are monks, they are willing to be lifelong confidants with people like Brother Ding.
What Wu Changsui thought at this time was also missed by Meng Xiaotang.
His younger brother Wu Changling's mind was not so deep, at this moment, he just felt that before attacking the ironback locust, he had despised Ding Xing's courage, and his face was full of shame, and he swore a promise: "Brother Ding, in the future, your orchard will be mine, and I will cover all the fields every year!"
Ding Xing replied calmly: "Even if you are a brother, you still have to settle accounts, let alone a different surname? Mine is mine, yours is yours, and you can't be confused! But Tian Cha can be given to you, and I have no objection." ”
It's a good-natured joke.
After speaking out, the pain in the hearts of the two brothers was dispelled, and they no longer insisted on rewarding Ding Xing.
Wu Changsui handed over the demon corpse to Fang Liangu as a trophy, and asked Fang Liangu to accept it for the dead Leng Erniang.
Fang Liangu did not refuse, she is a winery maid, she has been living in the red crystal orchard of Widow Liu, now that Widow Willow is dead, the orchard will definitely be taken back by the village, and she will also rejoin a family of villagers, Ding Xing is the most suitable object.
She also discovered today that Ding Xing turned out to be a dusty jade hidden in Jinlu Winery, and this young man has a calm and calm bearing, which is very easy to arouse the trust of outsiders.
But she is not in a hurry to reveal her thoughts, and when she survives this catastrophe, she will come to the door and talk to Ding Xing in detail, and then she will present the demon corpse as a gift for recruitment.
In the midst of the war, the few men did not talk much, and then began to build a defense in the orangery, which was to prepare for the flow of silver-horned giant ants in the pit.
During this period, Wu Shizong woke up slowly, and after waking up, he kept sighing:
'I thought I wouldn't be able to live, and I couldn't live happily in the future, but I didn't expect God to open his eyes and let Xiao Ding save me!'
"Don't worry, Xiaoding, after the catastrophe is over, uncle and I will personally go to Binghua Mountain to beg my sister Wu Yuanfang to invite the old brother of the dust back and reunite your grandchildren!"
'Uncle, I don't even care for my injuries, I'm sure I'll take care of this for you......
This is Wu Shizong's way of repaying Ding Xing's life-saving grace.
Ding Xing will wait and see.
And so on until dark.
At the moment of moonrise, Ding Xing was ready to compete with the silver-horned giant ant again.
Who knew that before he could sacrifice the paper soldier, the silver-horned giant ant finally broke the Biqing long sword after many rounds of hard fighting.
Since then, the escape road has been reopened, and the silver-horned giant ant first glanced back at the direction of Wujiao Mountain, and then fled away.
Ding Xing wanted to intercept it, but suddenly saw several light rainbows falling from mid-air, reaching the sky above the berry farm, stagnating.
At the head was a green-robed female cultivator, and her jade hand grabbed the pit, and took all the fragments of the Biqing long sword into her palm and put it in her cuff.
The deputy owner Meng Shaogong followed behind her, this Meng Shaogong looked embarrassed, one arm was broken at the shoulder, and he actually dragged the injured sword, presumably in an extremely serious accident.
He hung his head and asked the green-robed nun for instructions: "In the past when the Golden Dew Cellar was opened, there was always a wild cultivator making trouble, and we were originally well prepared, and we were absolutely sure to protect the Wujiao Mountain! Who knows...... Who knew that those wild cultivators would find a different kind of mountain ant, and directly took away the Jinlu Spirit Cellar, and before they came, they made several imitations of the Spirit Cellar, and after they succeeded, they scattered and fled from the ground, who is the real cellar, and all the fish that slipped through the net must be caught back in order to be detected!"
The green-robed female cultivator suddenly flicked her sleeves: "Since there is a fish that has slipped through the net, you go and catch it, what do you tell me to do?" The task I received from the sect is to deal with the locust plague, and I am not responsible for recovering the spirit cellar for you, just now I took action to send the Silver Horn Heavenly King for you, not only was I injured internally, but the flying sword was also broken, what do you want me to do?"
Meng Shaogong shook his head again and again: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
After a pause, he said again: "Earlier, I fought viciously with several Xuanfei monks of Tianwang Peak, and the owner of the village, Wu Zunrong, unfortunately died, and now the dragons of Wuzhuang are leaderless, but the tribute cannot but be presented!
"Refining another one?" This Huyan Senior Sister was stunned when she heard this, but she smiled bitterly: "You should know how much it costs to refine the Spirit Cellar, you must extract the Spirit Spring Spirit Vein, your Wu family has only inherited it for three hundred years, it is not worth doing this, it will be more appropriate to recover the lost Spirit Cellar." ”
"The tribute can't be broken, otherwise Jinlu Winery will be removed from the Qiongtai faction!" Meng Shaogong insisted on going his own way: "I beg Senior Sister Huyan to be fulfilled!"
"This is your voluntary bankruptcy, how can I refuse, besides, my uncle can't wait to take on this kind of errand!"
In a few moments, the group disappeared into the berry farm.
