As the familiar building came into view, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived in the town, and the changes in Qingfengling did not have any impact on Jinyi Town.

There were not many pedestrians on the street as usual, and there were small restaurants on both sides, and some men sat around and drank together. The bad wine of a few pennies drank a heroic air, scolding and talking about all kinds of important things that were extremely far away from them. Various small pavements are staggered on the main street, and small stalls are lined up on the side of the road on both sides. In recent years, the development of the town has been good, and people's living standards have improved by a small grade. Jiang Ning, who met some acquaintances on the way, greeted them one by one with a smile and was very polite.

"Xiao Ning, I just came from your house, and your sister said you weren't at home. Look at you, you won't go to Qingfeng Ridge to collect medicine, and you're not afraid of being broken by the old man. ”

A slightly hurried shout came into his ears, and a young man with a thin body, a little dark skin, and two pots of wine in his left hand ran in front of him, and put his arm around Jiang Ning's shoulders and walked side by side with him.

The emaciated young man had a serious expression on his face, and with a mysterious tone, he approached Jiang Ning's ear and said: "Today, a flying fairy came to my house, that kind of bearing really has nothing to say, at first glance, he is a master, and the most important thing is that the fairy master, who begged me to be his apprentice." What do I say I am gifted, is hundreds of years... Phew, wrong, it's a once-in-a-lifetime cultivation genius, and you want to take me to some Xianjia Cave Mansion to practice. ”

This person is a child who grew up with Jiang Ning since childhood, named Chen Xiu, three years older than Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning is the child picked up by Li Erliu and his wife, and the two old men treat Jiang Ning completely as their own grandson. Jiang Ning has been smarter than other peers since he was a child, and he is often taught by the villagers to compare his own children, so his peers in the town don't play with him much, and even some privately scold him for being an orphan, a wild child, and no one wants him under the fence. Jiang Ning did it with them for this, but the result was that Jiang Ning was alone... Even if he was older than him, he couldn't beat him in singles, so he was completely isolated.

Until he was seven years old, one day he went out with his grandfather to see people, and he had nothing to do to wander around the neighborhood. That area was relatively remote, but I met Chen Xiu, who was beaten by a group of people in a muddy alley. At that time, Chen Xiu was beaten and curled up on the ground, his head was broken, and he was beaten by a group of children, three of whom were almost thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were the heaviest attackers. Jiang Ning was naturally invincible, but he still chose to rush up to stop it, after receiving a few punches, it was not painful but crying urgently, seven-year-old Jiang Ning immediately ran out of the alley and called his grandfather to scare away the group of children.

After that, instead of thanking Jiang Ning, Chen Xiu occasionally teased and bullied him when he had nothing to do, and Jiang Ning was completely rare to deal with him. After a few contacts, the two children are surprisingly compatible, one is a smart and sensible good boy in the town, and the other is the little devil who has the most problems in the town.

Jiang Ning was a little tired from the consumption of this way, so he pushed away Chen Xiu's hand on his shoulder, and said, "Stop, Brother Xiu, can we not blow it? ”

Chen Xiu's expression suddenly fell, and he sighed: "You kid is not a normal person, you grew up eating white rice, why do you have more strength than adults, and even the great fortune raised by Old Man Liu can't catch up with you when you run, this God, it's unfair, it's too unfair." ”

Jiang Ning didn't stop, smiled and replied with four words, "Talented." ”

"Your uncle's..."Chen Xiu chased after him.

"Xiao Ning, what I said is true, the fairy master said that he would come to me in two days, I will take you to see it then, he said that he is the sect master of the Shaking Mountain Sect, anyway, he is very awesome. I'm worried that he's a liar, let him show his hands, good fellow, and smash the big tree in front of my house with one punch, but pity the hundred-year-old tree. ”

Jiang Ning believed it when Chen Xiu said it, let alone smashing a big tree with one punch, even if he was exaggerating at this time, he believed it, Jiang Ning slowly told Chen Xiu about what happened to Qingfeng Ridge.

After speaking, Jiang Ning added, "Brother Xiu, don't tell anyone else, especially my family." ”

Chen Xiu patted his chest, "Don't worry, I know, but Xiao Ning, don't go to Qingfengling in the future, I know that you are here to collect medicine for the old man." If you have an accident in Qingfeng Ridge, wouldn't it make the two old men..."The words were not complete, and he patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder.

"Well, don't worry, I know in my heart, and the herbs I picked this time are enough for a long time. Did you really decide to go with that immortal?

Chen Xiu rubbed his brows and said: "You don't know what my father is like, he pretends to be a Taoist priest all day long, and when he hears that an immortal wants to take me as an apprentice, plus my future master uses a punch in front of him, if it were replaced by someone else, my father would have already shouted how to lose money! He just turned around and ran to the ancestral mourning hall to burn incense with tears in his eyes. Do you want to go with me, then any sect master says that I am a genius, you are better than me. ”

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Forget it, since the old Taoist I met before didn't look at me much, it means that I may really not have any qualifications for cultivation." I prefer to follow fate, and I can't bear grandpa, grandma and Sister Shanshan. Since you've decided, let me know when you leave, don't try to sneak away, I'll see you off. ”

Looking at this only friend in the town, although he usually behaves very unreliable, Jiang Ning knows that if he really encounters any difficulties, he only needs to turn around and look, and he can see him standing behind him, and he has always regarded him as a big brother.

"It's hypocritical, it should be just these two days, I'll go back first, I'll go to you when I'm free, my dad is still waiting for me to go back." Chen Xiu shook the wine in his hand, turned around and strode away.

At the back door of Li Er's pharmacy, a figure sneakily pushed open a crack in the door, looked inside, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he gently pushed the door and entered. After he took two steps forward, he turned around and was about to close the door, only to see a slim girl with a light spirit, a white melon seed face, and a pair of big eyes standing in the corner of the door.

The girl's expression was cold, and she said to Jiang Ning indifferently: "This is coming back from Qingfeng Ridge? There has been news to the town a long time ago, Qingfeng Ridge is not peaceful now, you can't go, and the army will be dispatched to close the mountain later, do you dare to sneak away? Think about how to explain it to grandpa." ”

As the girl spoke, she walked over and grabbed Jiang Ning's ear and walked towards the main hall.

"Oops, it hurts.. It hurts, Sister Shanshan, alas, I was wrong, I know it was wrong, tap.. Tap. ”

Li Shanshan is four years older than Jiang Ning, and her height is one head taller than Jiang Ning.

Li Shanshan glanced at Jiang Ning, but the hand that pulled Jiang Ning's ear was put down, "Every time I know that I am wrong, I still make mistakes, the more I grow up, the more disobedient I become, you go and tell grandpa these words." ”

Jiang Ning looked like he leaned over to be trained with a dead face, and said in a particularly sincere tone: "Hehe, I'm not here for our grandfather, I swear that I won't go to Qingfengling in the future, and if I need herbs, I will go to the city to buy them." Sister Shanshan, don't be angry, every time I see you training me like this, I panic in my heart, don't tell grandpa and grandma, they are all old, I really know it's wrong. ”

"You also know that grandpa and grandma are old, so don't let them worry about you, and don't let me worry about you, okay. ”

Jiang Ning solemnly agreed, "Okay, Sister Shanshan, don't worry, this is definitely the last time!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's sincere attitude, he was about to raise his hand and swear, Li Shanshan said angrily: "Grandpa is not at home now, he must be full, grandpa can guess as long as he sees the herbs in your back basket." ”

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, and I have my own way to deal with this." ”

"Go and put the basket down, it's this hour, and the food is hot in the pot for you." ”

Jiang Ning touched his stomach and said with a smile: "I didn't feel hungry just now, Sister Shanshan, you said this, it's all gooing, I'll go first." ”

Jiang Ning quickly slipped out of the backyard with a basket on his back, Li Shanshan looked at his back, the corners of his mouth first rose slightly, and then sighed a little helplessly. Jiang Ning has been very obedient since she was a child, she basically didn't worry much, sometimes her performance made her a sister who was ashamed of herself, as she grew up, she became more and more jumpy, she was a little happy, and a little lost, the little kid who used to be quiet and only followed behind her, secretly grew up without saying hello.

On the new day, Jiang Ning sat on the chair as usual, lying on the counter of the pharmacy with one hand supporting his head, and the other hand boredly playing with the horizontal scale that weighed the proportion of medicinal herbs.

"Brother Xiu has been away from the town for a while, I don't know if he has arrived at the Mountain Shaking Sect now, and how he is doing. ”

Chen Xiu was taken away very suddenly, but he begged his master with a dead face to let him say goodbye to his friends. So the sect master of the Shaking Mountain Sect, who had already carried him in the air, had to turn around and fly directly to the sky above Li Eryao's shop, causing a big shock in the town, and many villagers were prostrate on the ground, bowing and worshipping. At this moment, the people in the town knew that Chen Xiu was going to practice in the Xianmen, which was undoubtedly a big deal for Jinyi Town, and they could also follow it. Some young people who had a holiday with Chen Xiu turned pale with fright, and they were even more envious and jealous in their hearts, what kind of shit luck did this kid take, he had such a blessing, why not himself.

Jiang Ning smiled, recalling that when he set off, he told himself that when he was successful, he would kidnap a few fairies and goddesses to come back. At that time, the middle-aged man who was holding him in the air was a black line on his face, and Chen Xiu was still chattering endlessly... Jiang Ning finally waved his hand and only said to take care, and watched him disappear at the end of the sky.

A voice came from the door of the pharmacy that interrupted Jiang Ning's thoughts, "Excuse me, is Old Man Li Erliu here?"
