"Second, if you meet the original owner of this sword at the moment of life and death, and the original owner controls this sword to give you a blow at a critical time, even if you don't die, you will be half useless. ”

Ye Tian suddenly realized that what this old man said was indeed right, a monk in this realm could still control his sword, let alone a former Taoist soldier.

However, the original owner of this sword does not know how long this soldier has been lost, if it is not long, it means that the strength is still in the realm of asking the sky, if it has been lost for a long time, it is not certain.

"Well, so be it. ”

Ye Tian didn't want to think about these things, after all, he was already quite tired from rushing all the way, and he should take a good rest now before making plans.

He was ready to lie down and sleep well, although it was said that the monk did not need to sleep, but the monk's body was still dominated by the human body, no matter how much he tempered the body, he usually just said that it relieved the fatigue of the body and kept those cells alive.

But these cells still need to stop and sleep well, Ye Tian in this wilderness doesn't believe that someone will follow him and want to plot against him, besides, there is an old man with a lotus lamp who is helping him protect the Fa, it should be nothing.

When he lay down, his body hibernate for seven or eight hours, and he woke up leisurely at noon the next day.

Ye Tian got up and lazy to cheer up, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate, driving away those drowsy intentions.

When it was almost time, he packed up and was ready to start his journey.

The inn he had booked yesterday was a little far from the other gate of Gumu City, and it would take a little time to reach it on the way.

"Stop, you thief!"

At this time, there was a sound of chasing from behind, and before Ye Tian could turn his head, a figure ran by, but he was really unlucky, stepped on a stone, and suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a thin man, his face was dusty, as if he had been wandering for many days, and he was clutching a few steamed buns tightly in his hands.

Seeing this, the people behind also chased him and surrounded him on the ground and beat him.

"You bastard, you even steal steamed buns, and you've been giving you alms for a few days, and you're going to steal them today. ”

One of them was the most ruthless, and the stick in his hand swung out a whirring sound and struck the man again and again.

But the man was beaten like this without the slightest moan and begging for mercy, just tightly nested on the ground, let them beat him, and protect the steamed bun in his hand.

Although the people of Gumu City are simple, they hate this kind of thief the most, and even the city lord's mansion has an order, if someone steals in the city, the person who is stolen can dispose of the thief at will.

But Ye Tian looked at him like that and couldn't bear it, a big man was reduced to the point of stealing steamed buns, there might be something difficult.

"Don't fight, I'll give you how much these steamed buns are. ”

Ye Tian suddenly appeared and stood in front of the man to protect him, and his feet shook, and the weapons held by the beating people fell to the ground one after another.

"Phew, these steamed buns don't cost much, we beat him to make him have a long memory, how can a man of this age steal steamed buns. The man in the lead was a big bear, and then beckoned the men to pick up the weapons on the ground and leave.

The passers-by did not pay much attention to it, nor did they say anything of pity for the man, they all hated it, and the man lay on the ground and walked past him as if he had not seen it.

"Thank you. The man got up and bowed to Ye Tian, and then ran away.

Strange to say, those people hit him so hard that there was not a single bruise left on his face.

Ye Tian stared at his steps closely, and sensed the aura of some immortal footwork from it, which was a little surprised.

Why do immortal cultivators steal these steamed buns? They don't just need them, and they don't take these tasteless steamed buns.

Ye Tian was puzzled and followed from a distance.

The man used his footwork to turn left and right, and entered an alley, but Ye Tian followed him and got farther and farther away from the city gate.

The man pushed open the door and entered a house, Ye Tian also stopped, stopped at the door, and didn't know whether to enter or not.

"Come in. ”

The man's voice came from inside the house, beckoning Ye Tian to enter.

Ye Tian didn't think much about it, pushed open the door and saw a scene that surprised him.

The small room was full of children, the youngest of whom was waiting to be fed, and the eldest was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, all of them skinny, and the man was breaking the stolen steamed buns and distributing them little by little.

"I'm sorry, I bought a little steamed bun back today, it's not enough for you to eat, you eat some first, and Uncle will go out to find some food for you in the evening." ”

"It's okay, Uncle, we're not hungry. ”

"Yes, Uncle, Sister Xiao'e has brought us some rice cakes today, we have eaten them, let's give you these steamed buns. ”

"Yes, uncle, you haven't eaten, aren't you hungry?"

Those little guys were milky, scrambling to feed the broken steamed buns to the man's mouth, urging him to eat, these children are sensible and distressing.

"Uncle is an immortal, Uncle won't be hungry, you see Uncle brought a friend back today, I'll talk to him about something later, and I'll come back to perform spells for you later." ”

The man's doting expression, Ye Tian seemed to be able to understand his feelings, because he was very distressed by Xiao Gray's expression towards her.

The man walked out of the room and motioned for Ye Tian to go outside with him to talk again.

Ye Tian saw that the eyes of those children looking at the man were full of emotion, and some of them even greeted him.

"These children are the reason why I stole those steamed buns, they are all abandoned street children, some because the family cannot afford to raise them, some because of girls, some because they were born with some disabilities, my parents just threw them out of the city, I brought them back one by one and put them in this hut. The man's eyes looked directly at Ye Tian, and he didn't feel that he was wrong at all.

"You should be a monk, it stands to reason that a monk should not lack a means of making a living, why do you want to steal that steamed bun?" Ye Tian was puzzled, a monk is a high existence for mortals, no matter what realm, as long as he walks in the secular world and casts some spells, he will be admired by people, and he will not steal steamed buns.

"The steamed bun shopkeeper, the father of the youngest child inside, abandoned the child outside the city at will because she was a girl, and if I hadn't arrived, it might have become food for the stomach of some wild beast. ”

"So I went to that house to steal steamed buns three times, and I was really angry. The man said, his eyes red.

"But you could have found a better errand here to raise these children, why steal it?"

"I came out of my house with a coil on my body, but unfortunately I encountered a beast on the way, and after a fierce battle, someone stole it, and then I had to hurry and arrive in the city without resting. ”

"But I don't think I can take care of the children for long, I was going to the Holy City, but I couldn't bear to leave these children, so I stayed here for a long time, but fortunately, I usually have a woman here to take care of these children with me, so I can get busy. As he spoke, the man reluctantly glanced at the room.

"Holy City, are you going to participate in the opportunity of the Land of Return?" Ye Tian asked, according to the time he said to be in a hurry, generally speaking, only if he participated in such an opportunity, he would rush in the near future.

"Exactly, your Excellency's destination is also here?"

"It turned out to be a Taoist friend, and I am fortunate to be lucky. ”

"It's not a blessing, I'm so down. The man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Hua Chi, you are here. At this moment, a female voice came, and I saw a plainly dressed woman standing behind the man, talking to him.

Although the woman was dressed plainly, it was difficult to hide the ethereal and pure temperament on her body, and Ye Tian couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Xiao Xiaobai told me, saying that you came back with steamed buns today, and there are so many dirty marks on your body, did you have been beaten?" The woman looked at the man distressedly, with rich emotions in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. The man smiled apologetically at Ye Tian, and then hugged his fist at Ye Tian

"I forgot to introduce it, the contemptible name is Yu Huachi. ”

"Ye Tian. Ye Tian raised his hands and saluted back, and then Yu Huachi and the woman returned to the room together, it seems that this woman is the sister Xiao'e in the mouths of the children just now.

Ye Tian saw Yu Huachi and the woman talking and laughing with those children in the room through the window, and there were also children lying on his shoulders and crawling on top of him.

It's just that this kind of scene can't last long.

For the monks, the opportunity to return to this place of unity is a great blessing, just go to participate once can change their lives, I don't know how many sects will wait for those monks outside the exit, want to recruit them into their command.

Then once Yu Huachi leaves, these children may lose their umbrella and the opportunity to be hungry, after all, this woman can't support the birth and raising of so many children.

Ye Tian looked at this scene, his heart was a little touched, and he thought of an idea at the moment.

Wait until the man is done playing with those children, and go out to find Ye Tian.

"Brother Huachi, it's not a matter for you to do this, there are only ten days left before the opening of the Land of Oneness, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you will miss this opportunity. ”

"I know, it's just that I just can't let go of these kids. Yu Huachi smiled bitterly, looking at those children's eyes full of distress.

"That's it, Brother Huachi, why don't you come with me, I can take out some jaspar for that woman, let her buy a larger house, ask a few servants to take care of these children, and wait until the opportunity to return to the land in the future is over, and then you can come back and take good care of them, how about it?"

"Brother Ye, this is not good, after all, this is my business, I chose to take care of these children by myself, and I shouldn't cause you trouble. ”

"It's not a problem, I feel a little touched by what you're doing, as long as it's good for these children, you don't have to think about it so much, just find someone you can trust. ”

"That's really Brother Lao Ye, Yu is here to thank you. Yu Huachi said, and was about to kneel on the ground to thank Ye Tian, but was stopped by Ye Tian.

"We fellow believers don't have to be like this, but you should make a decision as soon as possible, and I may be leaving today. Ye Tian looked at the sky, it was already evening at this time, and the fire clouds spread across the entire sky.

"Okay, you tell me to give an account to these children, and I'll go with you. Yu Huachi hugged Ye Tian with his fist, and then entered the room.

After a while, Ye Tian heard the cries of those children, and they were all reluctant to leave Yu Huachi.

"Uncle, don't go, we will be very well-behaved and won't trouble you. ”

"Uncle, we can also go to the street to help a little now, so you don't have to be so tired to take care of us. ”

"Uncle, we have enough grades, we can go to the street to find work, don't you go. ”

Yu Huachi looked at their reluctant expressions, and he was reluctant to leave in his heart.

"Children, we were born in the red dust, we all have to fight in the red dust, you are in order to survive, and Uncle is also in order to survive, so you have to leave. ”

The woman's expression was also reluctant, and she kept staring at Yu Huachi tightly, as if the tears in her eyes were about to overflow.

"Li Xiao'e, you come out for a while. Yu Huachi brought Li Xiao'e out.

"This boy will give you some jaspar stones, and you can use them to buy some better houses, and ask a few servants to take care of the children with you. ”

Li Xiao'e nodded and looked at him closely, her eyes filled with tears.

"Do you have to go? The two of us can find a job together, and then save enough money to open a store to raise these children......"

"No, Xiao'e, I'm a monk, I have my pursuits, I remember these children, but I have more important things to do, and I'll come back to you when I'm done. Yu Huachi looked at her seriously, and his eyes were firm and could not be refused.

Ye Tian also saw this inseparable couple at this time, looking at this scene, he was not moved, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Okay, Brother Ye, you can explain to her. ”

Seeing this, Ye Tian took down a money bag on his waist, for monks, because they often have to pay, the crystal stone will be paid along with the money bag, and all of them will always have more of this kind of money bag, but fortunately, the price of this money bag is relatively low.

"This is 500,000 pieces of jaspar, which should be enough for you to buy a big mansion and hire a servant, which is a little bit of my heart."

"But you have to promise me that these jasmine stones will only be used on these children's bodies, and you can't use them for your own personal purposes, I have done immortal magic in this, and if you abuse them, you will be burned by karma. ”

Ye Tian was naturally scared of her later, how could the things given out still have a sense of application, if he was allowed to leave a magic weapon, maybe there would be this effect.

Yu Huachi didn't poke him, but responded on the side.

Li Xiao'e nodded desperately when she heard this.

"I swear that I will never use these jaspars for personal use, otherwise I will be thundered and killed. ”

"Okay, you can take it. ”

Seeing this, Li Xiao'e accepted the money bag.

"I'll wait for you at the South Gate for an hour, and you decide for yourself whether you want to stay or go with me. "After saying that, Ye Tian left here, after the time is pressing, I don't know what else will happen when I pass through this Tianqi Mountain Range, it is best not to delay more time on other things.

Yu Huachi thought about it, and re-entered the house with Li Xiao'e, and stayed with those children for some more time.

The sky that Ye Tian was waiting for at the city gate gradually darkened, but he didn't wait, so he prepared to act on his own.

"Brother Ye, wait!" Just as Ye Tian was about to leave the city gate, Yu Huachi's voice came from behind him.

It seems that Yu Huachi finally chose the path of a monk, after all, the monk's lifelong cultivation is competing with the sky, how can this golden opportunity be missed.

"You're here anyway. ”

"Yes, after all, with these jasmine stones given by Brother Ye, it is enough for them to live for a long time, and they can even raise more than one generation, Brother Ye's kindness is unforgettable for me Yu Huachi in this life!" Yu Huachi came to Ye Tian's side and solemnly hugged his fist, his eyes showing gratitude.

"For the monk, these things are things outside the body, they are nothing, but Brother Yu, you can even give up cultivation for this, I really admire it. "Ye Tian also admires Yu Huachi, as a monk, he often ignores these things in the world for the sake of cultivation, but this Yu Huachi will be willing to stay and take care of one or two when he sees this kind of injustice, which is really rare for cultivators.

"I just saw these children and felt compassion and didn't help much. Yu Huachi smiled, he didn't have anything of value on him that could be used, otherwise there would be no need to steal steamed buns for these children to eat.

"Without further ado, let's hurry up and hit the road. ”

Then the two of them went out of the city gate and walked in the direction of the Heavenly Collapse Mountain Range.

The two of them have been walking on the road for two days, and the path pointed out by the old man of the lotus lamp is not bad, there have been no immortal beasts on this route, and they have only entered the periphery of the center of the Tianwan Mountain Range without danger.

"Brother Yu, let's rest here tonight, and then continue to leave tomorrow. Ye Tian proposed, after walking for two days without stopping, although there was no burden on the body, he was still a little tired mentally.

"Okay, then according to what Brother Ye said, tens of thousands of people will set up camp here. Yu Huachi agreed, and immediately took out the tent and some trivial things from his body.

Originally, he only had a little bit of things on him, but fortunately, Ye Tian had the foresight to buy some more, and it was enough for the two of them to use it at this time.

Ye Tian took out a large piece of meat from his Qiankun bag, looking like it was several catties, this piece of meat belonged to a small beast they met on the road yesterday, and it frequently stared at them as if they were prey, but when it pounced, it was easily taken down.

So it was used by these two as an ingredient for the stomach, but this kind of ordinary beast moves a lot in the mountains and forests, and the meat is very firm and tastes good, Ye Tian set up a shelf to roast this piece of meat.

Soon it was all dark, and the two of them sprinkled some powder in the dense forest to expel the beasts to prevent the invasion of those small beasts, and then set up a ban so that the creatures outside could not see inside, and they should not be disturbed at night.

Ye Tian turned the meat on the grill little by little, he also bought some spices when he had nothing to do in the city, and put it on top of this piece of meat at this time, and the aroma of the roast was really a little gluttonous.

"I didn't expect Brother Ye to be so skilled in wild barbecue, he doesn't look like a member of that big family. Yu Huachi exclaimed, this piece of meat really made him feel good as a monk.

"I just learned this by hand, and I often fight with fairy beasts in the wild, and sometimes it is a waste to throw those large pieces of corpses on the ground and waste them, so it is better to roast them and taste delicious. Ye Tian said casually, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

After the meat was roasted, Ye Tian took a knife from it and cut off a piece for Yu Huachi, cut off a piece and took it to himself, and then took a pot of wine from the Qiankun bag.

This pot of wine cost Ye Tian a lot of money, although he Ye Tian is not fond of alcohol, but he still doesn't want to let go of that kind of good wine, so it doesn't hurt to buy it and taste it.

"Looking at Brother Ye like this, I don't know what the environment is like since I was a child. Yu Huachi took a sip of wine and asked.

"It's normal, I have lived in the mountains and forests since I was a child, and I have no contact with the outside world, and this time my parents died, so I wanted to come out and experience it. ”

"I'm sorry, when it comes to this kind of thing, I don't know ...... Brother Ye" Yu Huachi was a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and he talked about this kind of sad thing.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything anymore, they are all monks, and they died when they practiced together, but they died well, and the two of them snuggled up to each other. Ye Tian couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, there was no way, he didn't have a suitable identity in this world, so he just made it up with the previous statement that he had deceived Gu Yuan.

"I am somewhat similar to Brother Ye, my parents are also monks, we are a family in that village, but those descendants born now have no talent for cultivation, and gradually degenerate into mediocrity, and in my generation, only I can cultivate. ”

"Only you can cultivate, shouldn't it be that all the resources in the family are concentrated to cultivate you, why do you still have nothing to do when you go out this time. Ye Tian was a little puzzled, how to say that it is a cultivation family, there should not be less things around the body, there are always ancestors in the family who will pass down some.

"Brother Ye doesn't know. Yu Huachi smiled bitterly.

"The family has been weak for a long time, things should be given, things should be sold, and everything that is valuable in the clan is exchanged for some money for the survival of the clansmen. ”

"Actually, there are still some people of my generation who can cultivate, but they have selected me with the best talent and poured all the resources of the clan to cultivate me, hoping that I can grow up in the future and feed back to the clan. ”

"It's just that although I have a good talent for cultivation, I won't use these to exchange for something, and I don't want to deceive ordinary people. ”
