Chapter 20: Farewell

Qiao Yuan took the bag and watched it for a while, it was really a little strange, obviously the small stone was packed into the bag, but this bag was light and fluttering, and it was mediocre to the touch, and he couldn't feel anything in it at all, but when he opened the bag, he could see a gray pebble inside.

After listening to Xiao Fengqing's words, he immediately took out the small stone and held it in his hand, and after a while, he felt that the small stone overflowed with a rich aura, and the aura overflowing from it was all wind attribute aura.

This made Qiao Yuan really overjoyed, and he thought that if Yang Yan Zhenren knew that this stone that he didn't value had such an effect, his intestines would definitely be repentant.

"Grandpa Xiao, who are you talking about as emperor?"

Qiao Yuan tried it for a while, then excitedly put away the small stone, and asked with an excited face.

"Emperor...... It's been too long, and he's gone for too long......"

Xiao Fengqing's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and there was a moment of confusion and trance on his face, and he muttered something to himself.

"Grandpa Xiao, how big is the dense forest under Qingfeng Village, and are there any powerful beasts?"

Qiao Yuan saw the trance on Xiao Fengqing's face, and immediately opened his mouth to ask other questions to divert his attention.

"Alas, don't worry, grandpa just can't remember the years. Tomorrow Grandpa will send you and Qingyun to the Thunder Immortal Sect together, if you don't want to enter the Thunder Immortal Sect, you can leave by yourself. ”

The memories in Xiao Fengqing's eyes dissipated, and he said to Qiao Yuan with a kind look.

"Thank you, Grandpa Xiao, Xiao Yuan wants to hone in the dense forest, rely on his own strength to get out of the dense forest under the mountain, one day Xiao Yuan will enter the Thunder Immortal Sect with his own strength. ”

Qiao Yuan heard Xiao Fengqing's words, and a warmth surged in his heart, but he said with a very serious expression.

"That's it, whatever you want, tomorrow Grandpa will send you a hundred miles away, this is a map, as long as you follow the above route, you won't meet too powerful monsters." However, there are some low-level demon beasts, which are enough to deal with with your strength. ”

Xiao Fengqing shook his head, and with a flick of his big hand, a sheepskin roll flew into Qiao Yuan's hand, and the sheepskin roll was densely marked with many locations and routes, and at a glance, Qiao Yuan knew how big this dense forest was, which was completely beyond his imagination.

There is a zigzag red line on it, this is the route that Xiao Fengqing marked for Qiao Yuan, he roughly estimated, this route is fifty or sixty thousand miles, if calculated according to his current speed, it will take about half a year to get out of this dense forest.

However, Qiao Yuan only regained his firmness in a moment, what is half a year, this is just his first step, if he retreats, then why go out to cultivate.

"Xiaoyuan, put the map in your bag, don't show it to outsiders. There is also the jade pendant given to you by the girl Mingruo, and you will also include it in your pocket, and if your cultivation is not enough, you must not let people know about it, otherwise you will be killed. ”

"You can practice the Six Extremes Ming King Gong in the jade pendant for a while, but before you find the remaining exercises, you can't use this exercise as a major exercise, you should remember to be cautious. That's it, you go back first, and grandpa will send you out early tomorrow morning. ”

Qiao Yuan was looking down to study the map, when he suddenly heard Xiao Fengqing's words, and immediately put away the sheepskin roll.

But when he heard Xiao Fengqing talking about the jade pendant that Ming Ruo gave her, his heart trembled, he took out the jade pendant and rubbed it carefully, and put it in the bag. Then he said with a thick look of reluctance on his face.

"Grandpa Xiao, can Xiaoyuan come back to see you in the future?"

"If you are successful in cultivation, there will naturally be a time to meet, and grandpa is looking forward to that day. ”

Xiao Fengqing said with an extremely soft smile, and closed his eyes after the words were finished.

Qiao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, stood up and walked to the door, and as soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Qingyun sitting cross-legged on the branches of the pine tree, looking like he was actually spitting and cultivating.

Qiao Yuan walked over for unknown reasons, and as soon as he approached, he slowly opened his eyes, smiled at the same time, and jumped down from the tree.

Qiao Yuan chatted with Xiao Qingyun for a few words, and then he walked towards the old pine tree, and he was also very surprised in his heart that this pine tree was actually a treasure.

He circled around the pine tree, rubbing it on the branches, and then he felt the trace of aura overflowing from the pine bark, this aura was so pure and thick that it only needed to absorb a trace of incense comparable to the time of meditation in the outside world.

"Brother Qingyun, sitting on this tree and cultivating is several times faster than cultivating in other places. ”

Qiao Yuan jumped on the fork of the tree, sat cross-legged on it, and said to the two people below.

"Xiaoyuan, hasn't your seal been fully opened?"

Xiao Qingyun jumped and sat beside Qiao Yuan and spoke.

"Brother Qingyun, I don't know if my seal has been opened, but it's okay, as long as I can cultivate, it's enough, even if my qualifications are not as good as yours, I have the confidence to catch up with you. ”

Qiao Yuan chuckled and shook his head, his eyes revealing a sense of confidence and firmness.

When Xiao Qingyun was sitting beside him, he felt the powerful spiritual power fluctuations on Xiao Qingyun's body, which were at least a hundred times stronger than his own, although he didn't know how far Xiao Qingyun's cultivation had reached, but he didn't have a little frustration, but there was a kind of persistence in his words.

Everyone's path is different, Qiao Yuan firmly believes that his path is definitely different from Xiao Qingyun, and this road is more difficult, but he can only go on, he must go on.

"Xiaoyuan, I know that you have your own way to go, and I also have my way to go, I hope you can keep going. ............ But it's okay if you can't go on, come to the Thunder Immortal Sect to find your eldest brother, with your eldest brother covering you, see who dares to bully you, haha......"

Xiao Qingyun showed a rare serious look, and said solemnly to Qiao Yuan, but when he said it, he showed a mocking look again, and hugged Qiao Yuan's shoulder and laughed.

Qiao Yuan didn't speak, just nodded and laughed, but warmth appeared in his heart, his nose was even more sour, and his eyes showed a thick reluctance.

"Haha, how about we go to Uncle Tie's place tonight to get drunk?"

Qiao Yuan looked at the sky, it was already sunset, and he would leave Qingfeng Village early tomorrow morning, there was not much time left for them, Qiao Yuan just wanted to get drunk, maybe only in this way could he alleviate the sadness of parting.

"Okay! Let's not get drunk today. You are not allowed to use your spiritual power to force you to drink, you must drink to a good time. ”

Xiao Qingyun shouted "yes", and then jumped down from the pine branch and said arrogantly.

Qiao Yuan jumped down, and then walked towards the fenced courtyard of the iron desert together.

The two walked forward while talking and laughing, and suddenly Qiao Yuan saw a middle-aged man in front of him holding a fishing basket in his right hand and a fishing rod in his left hand.

"Uncle Li, I just came back from fishing. ”

Qiao Yuan walked two steps to him and said with a smile.

"It's Xiaoyuan, Uncle Li was lucky today, he caught three red willows, haha......"

The middle-aged man with the fishing rod was wearing a hat on his head, looked up and saw Qiao Yuan's face, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Li is really powerful, this red willow is the most responsive, and Uncle Li can catch it. ”

Qiao Yuan looked at the three red willows in the fish basket that were more than a foot long, and their bodies were red and slender like willow branches, and said with admiration on his face.

"Xiaoyuan, where are you going, or you will go to Uncle Li's house for dinner tonight. ”

The middle-aged man with the fishing rod glanced at the Xiao Qingyun brothers and sisters who came over, then looked at Qiao Yuan, and said with a kind smile to him.

"Uncle Li, no need, we're going to go to Uncle Tie's house for dinner. ”

"Okay, if you have time to come to Uncle Li's house for dinner, Uncle Li will leave two for you. ”

The middle-aged man with the fishing rod didn't mind, and walked past the three of them after smiling.

Qiao Yuan turned around to look at his departing back, and the reluctance in his heart slowly grew.

Xiao Qingyun also turned to look at the back of the middle-aged man leaving, and then looked at Qiao Yuan, with a look of comfort in his eyes, until the middle-aged man disappeared around the corner of the road, and the two turned around and walked towards Tie Mo.

"You go first, while there is still time, I want to go to Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang's house to have a look. Qiao Yuan walked for a while and then stopped, and said slowly towards Xiao Qingyun.

Xiao Qingyun patted Qiao Yuan's shoulder, didn't speak, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Qiao Yuan took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards a nearby courtyard.

He didn't plan to say the news that he was going to leave tomorrow, and the whole village knew that Qiao Yuan didn't want to get it, which would only make the parting more sad.

He just wanted to go to the homes of everyone in the village before leaving, after all, almost all the residents in this village watched him grow up, all of them were his uncles and elders, and he had eaten and worked in everyone's home, and his feelings were deep and inseparable.

After Xiao Qingyun came to the fence courtyard, he didn't mind at all, walked to the house and took a teapot out, poured a cup of tea, and sat there and drank it leisurely.

Half an hour later, Qiao Yuan walked into the courtyard with a gloomy expression, sat at the table without saying a word, silently opened a jar of wine, and took a big sip when he raised the jar.

When Xiao Qingyun saw Qiao Yuan's appearance, he didn't speak, but just opened another jar of wine, and also raised the jar and took a big sip, and put down the jar as soon as he gestured to Qiao Yuan.

"Stinky boy, it's not okay to be a little ambitious, I didn't drink this wine when I was crying and sad, and I was happy when I got to the wine table. ”

Seeing Qiao Yuan's appearance, Tie Mo immediately frowned, stepped forward and patted Qiao Yuan's head, and said seriously.

Qiao Yuan was slapped on the head by Tie Mo's palm, and he didn't mind, as if he had been woken up all of a sudden.

After he took a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the sluggishness on his face, showed a rather sunny smile, and raised the wine jar to take another big sip.

But this time he was a little anxious, he choked and coughed, and some of the wine squirted out of his nose.

He only felt that he had mixed tastes, all kinds of tastes, and his face was extremely ugly.

However, this scene was seen by Xiao Qingyun and Tie Mo, which made them laugh, and suddenly the atmosphere was no longer depressed and dull, but became active and cheerful.

The moonlight gradually fell, and several stars in the sky dotted around the bright moon, and half of the bright moon was hidden in the clouds, appearing and disappearing.

In the silent night, there were only iron desert fences, and there were bursts of laughter and the sound of wine bowls colliding in the courtyard, and the vigorous bonfire reflected the courtyard very brightly, and the smiles of the two were deeply engraved in Qiao Yuan's eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone fell on the table one after another, and the floor of the table was a mess, and there was silence all around, except for the fire that was about to be extinguished.
