Chapter 139: The Storm is Coming
He Miaomiao returned to Miaodan Pavilion with full doubts, and muttered to Li Xiaojiang about Xiaoling's departure.
"She has been in Yiyuan Pavilion for so many years, and she has never even left such a major event as exterminating the Chang family, but now that she is calm, she is leaving. ”
Li Xiaojiang stood outside the counter, watching the people of Yiyuan Pavilion come and go, and unconsciously pursed his mouth. "Anyway, I can't leave any big things, but you, do you want to run away in advance?"
"I don't know what's going on, what am I running?" He Miaomiao was speechless, and finally got closer and closer to the open and secret battle between Yao Lao and Wei Changfeng, she didn't have time to squeeze in, how could she escape.
Li Xiaojiang didn't ask more when he heard this, he could see that He Miaomiao had his own plans, but he knew that he couldn't ask anything, anyway, now He Miaomiao didn't let him do anything difficult, and he didn't bother to worry about it.
After being in contact for a long time, he found out that He Miaomiao was not an evil cultivator, but it seemed that there was a difference in the exercises, so he would cultivate evil qi.
She doesn't absorb the blood of living people, she doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately, she is still righteous to people, and sometimes she doesn't forgive people, but after getting along for so long, she has never had a bad heart towards him.
Even sometimes sending him out to inquire about the news is something that can be done easily, and it is not difficult.
"You say, could it be that Yao Lao wants to kill Changfeng Mountain and let Steward Liu lead the team?" Li Xiaojiang analyzed for a long time, and felt that only such a major event could make Xiaoling be scared away.
He Miaomiao couldn't guess, so she just shook her head and didn't speak. Yao Lao is far away and sometimes close to Miao Dan Pavilion, and her style of acting has changed every time, she is in a Qi refining period, how can she guess the thoughts of other people in the Dan period.
"I think he just treats our Miao Dan Pavilion as a pawn!"
Li Xiaojiang was a little indignant, since he moved to a new store, his business has been worse day by day, and he can only maintain basic operation, and he can't earn any spirit stones at all.
"If the Miao Dan Fairy is out of the customs, I think he will dare to shout five and drink six!"
"You be quiet, don't you want to die?" He Miaomiao saw that he was getting more and more energetic, and hurriedly pulled him, there were people coming and going on the street, who knows if someone would listen to it and chew the root of his tongue indiscriminately.
However, when it comes to the Miao Dan Fairy, He Miaomiao also feels strange, in the past year, Steward Liu has never mentioned the owner behind him, and he doesn't even seem to have a daily report.
When she was working in the Danxia Pavilion of Fulong City, she would go back to Youlan once a month, even if it was a retreat for the Miao Dan Fairy, she would not not have to understand the situation in the store for a year.
Thinking of the rumors from the outside world that the Miao Dan Fairy had not appeared for more than forty years, He Miaomiao suddenly had an astonishing guess in his heart.
"Li Xiaojiang, you go outside and inquire about when the last time Fairy Miao Dan appeared, and where she was in retreat. ”
"Are you suspicious..."Li Xiaojiang's heart tightened, his face was a little unsightly, if it was really Miao Miao's guess, wouldn't Miao Dan Pavilion be in dire straits?
"You go and inquire first, but don't let people find out the clues, otherwise we will be abandoned by Yao Lao, and Changfeng Mountain will not be able to spare us. ”
"You guard the store, I'll go around!"
Li Xiaojiang walked out of the lobby, seemingly with a relaxed foot, with a clever smile on his face, and chatted with a few familiar Qi refining cultivators on the street before walking towards the dark alley.
The people living in the dark alleys are all local rooted cultivators in Huaquan City, and they are mixed, and there is a unique order in the mess.
Although the people here are not highly cultivated, they have complex interpersonal relationships and some are very well-informed, which is a good place to inquire about secrets.
Li Xiaojiang first returned to his home and visited his grandfather, whom he had not seen for a few days.
The old man was still lying on a rocking chair made of spirit wood basking in the sun, but he looked weaker and his eyes were more dull.
Li Xiaojiang no longer walked into the door with a smile as before, greeted loudly, and coaxed carefully.
Because the old man had no reaction recently, he didn't say a word, only stared at him occasionally and smiled, then turned around and continued to be in a daze.
He sat silently in the rocking chair, took the old man's hand and squeezed it gently, but sure enough, there was no response.
"Alas... Grandfather, it may be difficult to get quiet lately, and I don't know if I should take you out of town or stay here..."
couldn't wait for an answer, Li Xiaojiang didn't care, and continued to talk to himself.
"It's chaotic outside, and Huaquan City is even calmer before the storm, I don't know where there is a place in Lingnan... If only my father and mother were still around, at least there would be more people and they could survive in troubled times. ”
After being silent for a while, Li Xiaojiang helped the old man tidy up, put his hair in a bun again, and cast the dust technique before he sighed and walked out.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a familiar call suddenly came from behind him.
"Xiao Jiang... When I die, burn me to ashes and sprinkle it in the courtyard. ”
Li Xiaojiang turned around abruptly and tentatively called "grandfather", but found that after the old man finished saying that, he returned to his sluggishness, as if he had never been awake.
"Ahh The fact that the old man was about to leave, he had already accepted.
Li Xiaojiang shook his head, put the sad things behind, and went into the alley, asking about the news about the Miao Dan Fairy in a different way.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaojiang, who returned to the store, muttered to He Miaomiao in front of the counter again.
“...... All in all, the monks who have been in the city for decades have never seen the fairy Miao Dan come to the store, and there are rumors about her outside, all from more than forty years ago. ”
"What about the cave where she cultivates?" He Miaomiao knew that some high-level monks didn't like to be disturbed, and they were all looking for secret places to retreat, but there was always news coming and going, and it wasn't like they didn't know which direction in Lingnan.
It is estimated that only Steward Liu has the answer in this world. After Li Xiaojiang inquired around, he became more determined, and his expression became serious, "I suspect that she has really fallen!"
"No wonder..."He Miaomiao groaned, and then fell silent.
She has always only thought that Steward Liu took refuge in Yao Lao, in order to take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Chang family, and never thought that there was a reason to find a backer again.
She didn't know how many elixirs there were in the secret vault of the Miao Dan Pavilion, but she knew that hundreds of years of operation would definitely attract people with intentions.
Once there is no backstage, it will either be squeezed out of its final value, or it will die.
And for the sake of the Miao Dan Fairy, the medicine elder who looked at Gu Miao Dan Pavilion might be the first to attack them.
"Steward Liu is really bold. After Li Xiaojiang reacted, he only felt his heart beating, "She is fighting for the future with the lives of the whole store, and I don't know if the master and the seniors know about it." ”
He Miaomiao was about to send the sound back, but saw the figure of Steward Liu on the street in the distance, so she quickly stopped talking.
She looked preoccupied, and when she stepped into the lobby, she didn't greet them with a smile as before, but frowned and walked directly to the backyard.
