Chapter 10 Revisiting the Old Place

Wow, what a big lake," Duanmu Ruri shouted excitedly as he looked at the blue lake in front of him. Hearing the cry of Duanmu Liuli, Xiao Zongtian noticed the big lake in front of him. "Hey, why is this lake so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere. Looking at the smooth surface of the lake in front of me, looking at the mountain behind me, and then at the log cabin on the shore, it turned out that I had returned to the home where I had lived for more than ten years, no wonder it was so familiar. And the white tiger and the little fox, who felt the familiar smell, came out of Xiao Zongtian's body and ran wildly by the lake for a while, which can be imagined that they have been suffocated in the past two days. "Ah, there's a monster. Seeing the white tiger and the spirit fox that suddenly appeared, Duanmu Liuli and Zhuge Ningyan were startled, and took out their weapons with a look of vigilance. And the two guys didn't look at her at all, and only cared about their own reckless running. "Don't be afraid, they're my friends. Xiao Zongtian was afraid that the two girls would be so frightened that they would make drastic moves, and hurriedly explained. "Brother Xiao, you said that those two demon beasts were your friends, why didn't I see them before, and they suddenly appeared. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Xiao Zongtian scratched his head and said, "That's because they signed a contract with me and can lean over my body." "Oh, I see, I said why haven't I seen it all the time, Brother Xiao, you are really amazing. Hearing Xiao Zongtian's explanation, Duanmu Liuli, who had no scheming, just praised him for his strength, but Zhuge Ningyan saw Xiao Zongtian's mystery.

"Welcome to my house," Xiao Zongtian said to the two of them. The two girls looked at him suspiciously, "Brother Xiao, aren't you crazy, where is your home, this is in the sunset forest, alas, and there is no house, are you a monster living in the water?" Duanmu Ruri laughed as she spoke. Zhuge Ningyan couldn't help but smile, "Liuli, don't be funny, Brother Xiao must be true when he says this." Although he didn't believe Xiao Zongtian's words, he was still very understanding. "Sister Ning Yan understands me. I love you to death," Xiao Zongtian said exaggeratedly, "shameless," Duanmu Liuli snorted with disdain. And Zhuge Ningyan's face was flushed by Xiao Zongtian's words.

Xiao Zongtian was not embarrassed, and his face was light and let it float. "Look what it is" Xiao Zongtian said and pointed to a small wooden house under a big tree in the distance, because of the perspective and was attracted by the two demon beasts just now, so neither of them looked around carefully, and now they saw a house along Xiao Zongtian's fingers. Duanmu Liuli exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao, this is really your home, your home is yours alone." Hearing Duanmu Liuli's question, Xiao Zongtian's face was a little gloomy, because he had no family anywhere, and he was a lonely prodigal. "Yes, but not anymore, I still have the white tiger and the little fox. As if knowing that Xiao Zongtian was talking about them, the two guys blew up at them, and then disappeared into the depths of the forest, Xiao Zongtian was not worried about this at all, because they were the overlords here. Seeing that Xiao Zongtian's face was not very good, Duanmu Liuli also knew that he had asked a question or not, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I don't know, I didn't mean to." Looking at the little face that was a little anxious, Xiao Zongtian smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it, it's not a big deal." ”

"Tell me what the golden leaf grass you are looking for looks like, is it a small grass with only two leaves all over its body, golden yellow" Xiao Zongtian seemed to have seen it at the bottom of the lake before, and he wasn't sure if it was the golden leaf grass that Duanmu Liuli said, so he asked clearly.

Hearing Xiao Zongtian ask her, Duanmu Liuli replied, "Yes," and then looked at Xiao Zongtian with excited eyes, and continued to ask, "Brother Xiao, have you ever seen the Golden Leaf Grass, do you remember where it is?" Zhuge Ningyan also looked at Xiao Zongtian expectantly. Xiao Zongtian didn't speak, but walked to the lake, watching Xiao Zongtian leave, the two women looked anxious. I was about to continue to ask, when I heard Xiao Zongtian say, "Wait for my good news." As he spoke, he jumped into the lake and didn't even leave a chance for the two girls to react. Hearing Xiao Zongtian say this, the two girls were overjoyed, although they didn't know what medicine Xiao Zongtian sold in the gourd, but when they heard his tone, he would definitely find the golden leaf grass. Although he was happy, he was also worried about whether Xiao Zongtian would encounter any danger at the bottom of the lake, which was enough to show that the two were not people who forgot their righteousness.

Swimming in the lake that I don't know how many times I have come in, Xiao Zongtian's whole body is comfortable. Looking at the familiar small fish in front of him, Xiao Zongtian frolicked with them for a while and then went straight to the bottom of the lake, after all, the two girls would be worried after being in the lake for too long. The lake, which is tens of meters deep, is a piece of cake for cultivators. It's only been more than a month since he left here, and he has been here for more than ten years, so Xiao Zongtian naturally knows the bottom of the lake well. When he came to the place of the golden leaf grass, he opened the thick aquatic weeds, and saw that the arranged formation was still there, Xiao Zongtian put his mind at ease, broke the formation, and the two small grasses were still swaying there, pulling up one grass and leaving the other, after all, one was enough for Duanmu Liuli's mother. Continued to arrange a formation for Xiaocao to prevent other people from coming here to find out and take it away, and now know that it is a precious herb, so how can it be cheap for others.

Zhuge Ningyan and Duanmu Liuli on the shore were waiting anxiously, and when they saw Xiao Zongtian popping out of their heads, they hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Xiao Zongtian quickly swam to the shore and steamed the water on his body with Zhenyuan. Seeing the expectant eyes of the two girls, especially Duanmu Liuli, Xiao Zongtian knew that this was not a joke, so he took out the golden leaf grass and handed it to Duanmu Liuli and said, "You see if this is the golden leaf grass you are looking for." When she saw the golden leaf grass, Duanmu Liuli instantly burst into tears, how much she suffered for this little grass, Xiao Zongtian knew, and Zhuge Ningyan also knew. So I understand her very well. "Brother Xiao, can you give me the Golden Leaf Grass, no matter what the price, I will agree. "What are these words, am I like that kind of person? Isn't it just a piece of grass, it was meant to be given to you, so what is polite to me? Xiao Zongtian said righteously and awe-inspiringly, handing the golden leaf grass to Duanmu Liuli. Although the three of them have only known each other for more than a month, they know each other very well, so Duanmu Liuli did not twist, and simply took the Golden Leaf Grass, because this is something she wants to get no matter how much it costs, and then put it in a cold box, "Anyway, Brother Xiao really thank you, if it weren't for you, Senior Sister and I don't know when we will find the Golden Leaf Grass" Zhuge Ningyan also thanked Xiao Zongtian very sincerely. "I'm going to be angry if I thank you. Xiao Zongtian said with a straight face. "Poof" Duanmu Ruri laughed when she saw his pretentious expression. It can be said that now she is much less stressed. Now Duanmu Ruri just wants to go home quickly and give the medicine to her mother.

Suddenly, Xiao Zongtian heard the cheerful cries of the white tiger and the little spirit fox, Xiao Zongtian saw an animal in the mouth of the white tiger that was hundreds of catties, Xiao Zongtian knew that he was busy again, "Take it." Hearing Xiao Zongtian's words, the white tiger happily threw the beast in his mouth to Xiao Zongtian. And the little spirit fox jumped up and down excitedly, looking at the strange trio, to be precise, one person plus two demon beasts, Duanmu Liuli and Zhuge Ningyan looked surprised. "Brother Xiao, what are you going to do. Duanmu Ruri looked puzzled. "You'll find out later. Xiao Zongtian didn't explain, he smiled mysteriously, but Zhuge Ningyan had already guessed what Xiao Zongtian was going to do, so he didn't have any surprised expression.

Taking the beast to the lake and cleaning it up quickly, Xiao Zongtian came to the front of his house. A fire was lit, the tools were ready, and the chef began in earnest. At this time, the white tiger and the spirit fox did not have the frolicking just now, but followed Xiao Zongtian quietly, and the little spirit fox jumped on Xiao Zongtian's shoulder. Duanmu Liuli and Zhuge Ningyan also walked over, sitting on the stone next to the fire, watching Xiao Zongtian's movements, as time went by, the aroma of barbecue gradually overflowed, feeding, rolling, Xiao Zongtian skillfully like a professional barbecue master. Looking at the white tiger that was about to saliva to the ground, Xiao Zongtian gave it a big head is a burst of trembling, the white tiger looked at Xiao Zongtian aggrievedly, not to mention how sad it was, fortunately, the barbecue was cooked immediately, smelling the fragrance made the two women also move their index fingers for a while, cut a piece of the best meat for each of them, and tore off two legs themselves, one for himself and one for the spirit fox, and the rest was given to the white tiger, there is no way who can call it the largest and most edible. Baihu, who hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, instantly threw the grievances just now out of the clouds, "Wow, it's delicious, Brother Xiao, you're really amazing." Eating the meat handed over by Xiao Zongtian, Duanmu Liuli was sincerely admired, and Duanmu Liuli also had to admire Xiao Zongtian's craftsmanship and cast an appreciative look at him. "That's, if you want to talk about barbecue, I'm a master. "Neither of the two women objected to Xiao Zongtian's statement, because if Xiao Zongtian is not a master, then I don't know who else on this continent is better than Xiao Zongtian's barbecue, and as a young man in the twenty-first century, who has no barbecue skills, it means that he is outdated.

After dinner, it was already evening, although I really wanted to go home quickly, but Duanmu Ruri also knew that she was not in a hurry for this time and a half, and would leave tomorrow, because it was too dangerous to move at night in this deep forest, and now that she had found the golden leaf grass, she didn't want to have any accidents.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Duanmu Liuli rushed home, Xiao Zongtian, who was already able to fly with a sword, asked Duanmu Liuli to guide the way, summoned a flying sword by himself, and flew towards the southern county town with the two girls, this time he walked out of the deep forest in the real sense, looking at the figures flashing from time to time on the endless plain, Xiao Zongtian felt that he had come to the human world. Let the white tiger return to his body, the little fox said that he would not go in anything, Xiao Zongtian had to let it lie on his shoulder. The three of them came to the nearest town, replenished the items, and also let Xiao Zongtian take a rest, after all, the flight of the sword needs to consume true yuan, and when Xiao Zongtian recuperated his spirit, several people continued on the road, Xiao Zongtian was not dissatisfied with this, he understood Duanmu Liuli's mood, because he had experienced the pain of losing his loved ones. After two days of speeding up at the fastest speed, he finally came to the destination Nanjun City, as for why it took so long, first, Xiao Zongtian flew for the first time, so the speed was not very fast, and second, Duanmu Liuli was a girl with big nerves, and she often made mistakes in the direction, which made them take a lot of wrongful roads.

Coming to the city gate, looking at the tall city walls and wide city gates, Xiao Zongtian felt that there was not much difference from the previous ancient China, if he didn't know that it was not the original world, Xiao Zongtian really didn't believe it. Since the mainland is relatively calm now, there are few wars, especially in the southern county town in the southeast of the empire, which is 108,000 miles away from the national border. It doesn't matter if the crowd goes in and out and the soldiers guarding the door, as long as you don't make trouble. Xiao Zongtian didn't go to her house with Duanmu Liuli, after all, he was used to being lonely and wanted to go to someone else's house, he wasn't used to it for a while, seeing that Xiao Zongtian was very resolute, so Duanmu Liuli didn't force it, "Brother Xiao, if you find a place to stay, remember to call someone to come to the City Lord's Mansion to inform me." "Because Nanjun City also has a population of hundreds of millions, if Xiao Zongtian didn't tell Duanmu Liuli about his place, it would be very difficult for Duanmu Liuli to find him, unless Xiao Zongtian took the initiative to go to Duanmu Liuli, but this is obviously not Xiao Zongtian's style, otherwise just go to her house with Duanmu Liuli, why bother. Xiao Zongtian nodded at the two of them, indicating that he knew. After entering the city, the three of them parted ways, Duanmu Liuli went back to her city lord's mansion, but Xiao Zongtian first came to a restaurant, sat in front of the window and watched the endless crowd on the street, Xiao Zongtian couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen such a scene. Ever since I came to this world, I have been cultivating in an inaccessible place, and now I am in a noisy street market. Drinking a little wine, Xiao Zongtian, who was still very new to this world, suddenly felt a little dazed, and didn't know what he should do next, but revenge has always been the purpose in his heart. "I can't imagine that I Xiao Zongtian also has a confused day, it seems that my mood is still not enough, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sad, tomorrow is worried. "Putting aside the messy thoughts, not to mention Xiao Zongtian in white and his handsome appearance, especially his elegant and chic temperament, Xiao Zongtian has become the focus of everyone's eyes, and Xiao Zongtian naturally doesn't care about other people's eyes.

Drinking wine comfortably, in fact, Xiao Zongtian is not a good drinker, but he is only occasionally used to pass the loneliness. "Boss, do you have an independent courtyard here?" Xiao Zongtian, who didn't know where to go for the time being, planned to rent a small courtyard and live for a while to experience the feeling of being an ordinary person. "How big a yard do Shaoxia plan to have, my relatively large yard here has three wings in the south, east and west, the north is the living room, and there is a small garden behind the living room. The small courtyard has only two wings, east and north, and the garden is relatively small. The innkeeper told Xiao Zongtian in detail about the two kinds of yards, and after a while, Xiao Zongtian decided to rent a large yard, after all, it looks comfortable anyway, money is outside the body, and he is not short of money, because Duanmu Liuli gave him a lot of gold coins, so that he can also experience the benefits of eating soft rice. "Bring me the biggest courtyard, and be quieter. Hearing Xiao Zongtian so arrogant, the innkeeper was very happy, counted the golden gold coins in his hand, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to come over and take Xiao Zongtian to his yard.

"Shaoxia, please follow me, Shaoxia is really in the right place, it can be said that our small courtyard is the best courtyard in the city, and countless dignitaries and nobles will choose to settle in this store when they pass through the city. Anyone who has lived in our yard and rented it is not satisfied. The shopkeeper said proudly, Xiao Zongtian felt a little funny when he listened to the words of the little er. "Little Second Brother, how far are you from the City Lord's Mansion here. Hearing Xiao Zongtian ask about the City Lord's Mansion, the shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Zongtian in surprise, "Shaoxia plans to go to the City Lord's Mansion, and Shaoxia is going to treat the City Lord's wife, but unfortunately, I heard that the City Lord's wife's illness is even helpless for Doctor Sun, Shaoxia, I think it's better to forget it." The shopkeeper shook his head, looking disbelieving Xiao Zongtian. Xiao Zongtian's face was black, he just casually asked about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect Xiao Er to think crookedly, and he regarded himself as Langzhong. "No, I'm looking for someone there. Xiao Zongtian explained. The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Zongtian again, "Looking for someone, Shaoxia is going to find Miss Duanmu, Shaoxia is indeed a rare beautiful man, but I don't know how many young talents pursue Miss Duanmu, Miss Duanmu values not only appearance, but more importantly, strength, I am afraid that the son has little chance, and I heard that Miss Duanmu went to the Sunset Forest to find medicine for her mother, as for when to come back, this is not for me and other Xiaomin to know." It's not the right time for the young man to come" Knowing that the shopkeeper had misunderstood himself again, Xiao Zongtian was speechless. However, it is not surprising that Duanmu Liuli's beauty is famous all over the world, and the young man who came to see the beautiful face is like a carp crossing the river, hoping that good luck will befall him and be appreciated by Miss Duanmu. "You just need to tell the City Lord's Mansion how to go, and you don't have to worry about the rest. "Xiao Zongtian's face is all black at this time, I am going to find Duanmu Liuli, but it is not as exaggerated as you said, and it is not what you mean, okay, Xiao Zongtian didn't bother to explain. "Follow this road all the way forward, just turn two streets, the City Lord's Mansion is the largest in the entire South County, and it is very recognizable," said the shopkeeper, pointing to the street where the two were walking.

"Shaoxia, here, this is Shaoxia's yard. "Walking into an alley from the wide street, and coming to a courtyard at the end of the alley that looked like a little large, Xiao Er pushed open the gate and let Xiao Zongtian go in first. "It's cleaned every day, it's clean, if the young man has nothing else to do, the kid will go first. "The shopkeeper saw that he had already arrived at his destination, and he didn't mean to stay too much. "Well, you go. Saying that, Xiao Zongtian also threw two gold coins to Xiao Er, although this Xiao Er is a little gossip and a little talkative, but the person is not bad. Seeing the gold coins that Xiao Zongtian ran over, Xiao Er quickly took the gold coins in his hand, Xiao Zongtian was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the little shopkeeper still had good martial arts skills. However, it is not surprising to think that this belongs to a world where force is respected, and others can do martial arts. "Thank you Shaoxia, the kid left first. Xiao Er took the gold coin, although surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face was still relatively calm, which made Xiao Zongtian look at him twice. I don't know how such a person is willing to be a shopkeeper. However, everyone has their own difficulties, and Xiao Zongtian doesn't want to explore too much. "By the way, you can help me go to the City Lord's Mansion to help me spread a message, tell Miss Duanmu Liuli where I live now, just say that my surname is Xiao, and he will naturally understand. Although I don't understand why Xiao Zongtian wants to help with this by himself, Xiao Er still readily agreed, after all, the reward of two gold coins is rich enough, and it is not difficult to spread the news, as for whether he can see Duanmu Liuli, that is another matter.

After checking the yard, Xiao Zongtian was still quite satisfied, because this was the end of the alley, so few people passed by.
