In this meeting, the two sides talked until late at night.

The content of the talks not only involved Qingyun Mountain, but also included the subsequent mining of the two mines.

In addition, the two sides also signed an offensive and defensive alliance, stating that if the mine cooperation goes well, they will continue to deepen the cooperation.

Zhai Biqing confided an important information: the inksmith is ready to take Anxi Prefecture as a key place for development, and he does not even rule out the possibility of moving his base camp to this place in the future.

This surprised Lu Jianping, and even Yao Wuji, who had never spoken much, seemed to have finally remembered his mission and actively participated in the discussion.

A few days later, Youli, Zhai Biqing, and Fang Huaiyuan met together.

Fang Huaiyuan joked: "As long as the two of you come forward, this matter will be finalized, I feel that I am a little redundant." ”

Zhai Biqing hurriedly said: "Brother Fang, your burden is the heaviest, we are both hands-off shopkeepers, and all affairs are pressed on your shoulders." ”

Fang Huaiyuan said with a smile: "I am the oldest, so I should bear more." You've decided to go to the Fog Demon Ridge to slay the demons?"

Zhai Biqing said proudly: "It's decided! Anyway, you have the help of your rich senior brother, and there is not much I can do." Why don't you do what you want to do? ”

Fang Huaiyuan said regretfully: "The day after tomorrow is the bidding meeting, you must leave tomorrow? Why don't you wait until the end of the first bidding meeting before leaving?"

You Li shook his head and said: "Knowing the result of the bidding meeting, I am worried." Moreover, there is a bidding meeting to attract attention, and the firmament faction's attention to me will be weaker. ”

Zhai Biqing pursed his lips and said hatefully: "It's just a second-rate sect, and they don't dare to really do anything to you." However, it's always like a dog skin plaster, always sticking to the back of the buttocks, and it seems that it doesn't do anything, but it's actually more disgusting than doing everything. ”

Fang Huaiyuan reminded: "In short, don't take it lightly, when you go out, you can't be too cautious." ”

In the early morning of the second day, before the sky was completely bright, You Li and Zhai Biqing disguised themselves a little, jumped on the horse convoy of Qingyuan Restaurant to purchase ingredients, and quietly went on the road.

The convoy went north along the official road, and on the right was the towering Qingyun Mountain, and it took about half an hour to arrive at Shuangfeng Village at the northern foot of Qingyun Mountain.

Shuangfeng Village is located between Qingyun Mountain and Yunfu Mountain, and then cross Yunfu Mountain to the north, and enter the destination of this trip - Chaoshan Town boundary.

After a short rest, the convoy continued to go north along the official road to buy supplies in the county seat. The two separated from the convoy and headed north alone.

The two of them put aside the official road and chose to climb directly over Yunfu Mountain, and finally arrived at a small village in the southernmost part of Chaoshan Town in the evening.

When I entered the village, the smoke was already rising. The two walked around and found that there was no inn in such a deserted village, and although the weather was still very hot, many people had closed their doors.

At the head of the village, the two saw a land temple, very small, only one room, but it was the most new-looking house in the village. The roof is still covered with tiles, but the roofs of all the houses in the village are only thatched, which shows the weight of this small temple in the minds of the villagers.

When the two walked in, there were still incense sticks in the incense burner on the offering that had not yet been burned, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of inferior incense ash.

Zhai Biqing took out two high-grade merit incense, gave one to the free, and each took turns to finish the incense, so they discussed together and decided to spend the night in the village.

The two finally chose a house, and saw through the closed fence that the gate was still open, so they knocked on the firewood.

The door was opened by an old woman, according to her, only her old family was left in the family, and the two sons had gone south to Anhua Town to make a living.

Seeing that the old man's house was not rich, he took out a hare he had hunted on the road from his bag, borrowed a knife from his master's house, and killed and cooked it.

After eating, the two stayed in the old man's son's room.

Zhai Biqing lay on the bed and wondered: "We can sleep in the wilderness, why do you want to come here to spend the night?"

Sitting on the ground, he said softly: "It's nothing, I just want to get in touch with the secular society more." My master often said that cultivators should not blindly escape from the world, but still need to walk around the world more often and see the faces of all living beings. ”

Zhai Biqing pillowed his hands, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Is Hongchen refining your heart?" My uncle often says this, no wonder I can become friends with your master." ”

You Li asked: "Although this village is remote and the life of the villagers is hard, it is still peaceful and peaceful, what do you think is the reason?"

Zhai Biqing thought for a while and said slowly: "Because there is a land lord here who protects one side." Unlike Anhua Town, which is only separated from here by Yunfu Mountain, the folk customs are far from each other. In the final analysis, it is because the people of Anhua Town are not at peace and have nothing to rely on. ”

You Li nodded, although Zhai Biqing usually hangs his son, but in fact, his heart is clear and his eyes are clear, and he still sees many things very clearly.

"When you're tired, rest first, and I'll keep vigil. ”

Zhai Biqing was not polite, turned over, and snored for a while.

You Li quietly released his consciousness, and sensed that the old couple of the houseowners had not yet fallen asleep, but were chanting something together, listening carefully, and what they were reciting was actually the "Qingjing Sutra". Other than that, the house is quiet all around.

Listening to the chirping of insects in the middle of the night in early autumn, Zhai Fat's intermittent snoring, and the scriptures that the old man read out like babbling, he carried thirty-six small weeks in succession, and finally refined a baht of Zhenqi.

At this point, the free has transformed one-third of the essence in the dantian into a liquid pure true qi, and has seen the dawn of the Qi realm in the early stage of foundation building.

At this time, his dantian was finally no longer in a state of misty chaos, but several heavy rains, and the "rain" fell at the bottom of the dantian, gradually converging into a lake, full of vitality.

This lake is different from the heart lake in the heart of the mud pill in that it is formed by the convergence of pure true qi. With the continuous growth of cultivation, it will be further expanded, and eventually it will form a grand atmosphere of unbridled oceans, and the majesty of mana can be described as surging as the sea.

Therefore, the lower dantian is also known as the "Qi Sea", which is the opposite of the "heart lake" in the mud pill of the upper dantian.

After the free cultivation was completed, he habitually released his divine sense, and found that the old couple had fallen asleep, and when the old man got up and went back to bed at night, he did not forget to fold the quilt for his wife.

Wandering away from the smile, continue to meditate and fall asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, You Li and Zhai Biqing quietly left and continued on the road. Before leaving, Zhai Biqing left half a piece of money on the bed.

The two walked briskly, climbed over two more mountains, and finally saw the tall wooden archway of Chaoshan Town in the distance before noon.

When he was about to enter the town, Zhai Biqing couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you do it last night?" I saw that you deliberately chose that family, and I thought you wanted to get rid of those two spirits. It made me just wait to fall asleep. ”

You Centrifugal God said: "That old couple is indeed the illusion of two earth fox spirits, and the exercises I practice can sense the malice and even killing intent of the people around me. But from the time I entered the village last night until I left this morning, I didn't notice the slightest malice. The villagers are also living as usual, and there is nothing unusual, which shows that these two earth fox spirits can be in close contact with human cultivation, and nine times out of ten they have the tacit approval of the landlord here, so why should you and I have to do too much?"

Zhai Biqing also said: "When you say this, it makes sense. I'll just say why these two beasts have merit and glaucoma cover, although the glaucoma is extremely faint, but it shows that they have done no less good deeds. ”

You Li nodded, thinking: "Those two earth fox spirits recited the "Qingjing Sutra" in the middle of the night, and to a certain extent, they also helped themselves to cultivate, which is itself a kind of goodwill. Judging from his familiarity with the scriptures, it shows that he has achieved a small amount in the practice of merit. Without the approval and even help of the land lord in this town, this situation would not have been possible. ”

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but become more and more curious about Qin Lexin's great-grandfather, the trip to the Fog Demon Ridge seemed to be really as Han Shengchao said, it was worth looking forward to.

The two followed the business trips and walked into the main street of the town together.

Tomorrow is the day agreed with Qin Lexin, it is a day early, there is plenty of time, you Li wanted to go shopping first and get familiar with the situation, but Zhai Biqing, who was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, had already taken a look at the best restaurant in the town, dragged him away, and walked in regardless of it.

This big restaurant, called "Yongyi Restaurant", is the property of the Qin family. You Li wanted to report his name and eat and live, but he was stopped by Zhai Biqing's big hand.

"Brother, do I look like someone who can't afford to invite you to eat and drink?"

After speaking, he shouted directly to the cousin in the hall: "Come to the first-class private room!"

"Okay! The guest officer is very lucky, and there happens to be a private room left in our store. ”

As soon as the chapel responded with a smile, about to take the two upstairs, someone suddenly shouted at the door:

"Wait! I'm going to have this last private room. ”
