Chapter 197

Grandma Li grabbed a handful of rice and put it on the ground, causing the big and small chickens to rush over, and the surroundings of Jing Yingrong and Zhuifengju were immediately cleared.

"This has been a tradition in the village for a long time. Some people don't have offspring, and some, even if they have children, the children will go to practice Taoism someday and never come back. But everyone will grow old. Yes, so, there is such a convention that the young people in the village will take care of the old people who have no offspring."

Grandma Li led Jing Yingrong to the back of the house. Behind the house was a small vegetable field and a well.Jing Yingrong put an animal restraint on the chasing wind horse, and placed it in the open space beside the well.

"I see."

"Yeah, they not only send me food, but also often send food to Aunt Chen and her husband, Uncle Wang, Brother Qian, and Aunt Wu in the village."

Granny Li muttered, opened the wooden door of the house, and soft light poured out, bringing warmth like spring.

The room is not spacious, there are many things piled up together, a little messy, but very clean.A fist-sized spar-like thing hangs down from the beam of the room, emitting bright light and dispelling the cold.

Jing Yingrong noticed the word "Ancestor" engraved on the surface of the object.

Seeing Jing Yingrong staring at that thing, Grandma Li said: "That is the Chunhua Lantern given to us by Taichuguan, one can be used for several years. Miss Jing, do you know Taichuguan?"

Jing Yingrong: "I am a disciple of the Inner Sect." She showed her token.

Grandma Li's cloudy old eyes lit up, and she said: "So you are a disciple of Tai Chu Guan, that's great, that's great."

Mirror Yingrong smiled slightly.

Grandma Li pushed open a door on the east side of the house, behind which was another smaller room.The moment Grandma Li entered, the originally dark room suddenly lit up, and there was an identical Chunhua lantern placed in the corner of the room.

Mirror Yingrong looked around the room.There is a low bed against the wall of the room, the bed is covered with brand-new bedding, the mirror is diagonally opposite, and there are wooden cabinets and other furniture next to it.

The furniture in the room has traces of time, but still maintains a neat appearance.

"My wife left the year before last, and I live alone at home. This room was once lived in by my daughter. I often clean it, thinking that if she comes back suddenly one day... Girl Jing, you can live here tonight. "

Granny Li closed the open window and said.

Jing Yingrong said "OK" and said, "Where did your daughter go?"

Grandma Li turned around and went back to the main house, and took some ingredients to the fire room at the back, preparing to boil water for cooking.

"She went to study with a monk."

Jing Yingrong: "Casual cultivator?"

Grandma Li was washing the dishes, thought about it for a while, and said: "I guess so, that monk said he has no family or sect. In your terms, he is just a casual cultivator."

Jing Yingrong: "Why don't you go to Tai Chu Guan?"

Grandma Li let out an "ah" and said helplessly, "When she was ten years old, I took her to the Taichu Guan's apprentice acceptance meeting, but she didn't pass. She cried all the way back, and it took a long time to let go of it. Two years, the monk passed by here, happened to meet her, and asked her if she would like to worship him as a teacher and inherit his mantle. That girl, she happily agreed, and told us later. We can't stop her , had to let her go."

Jing Yingrong: "Did she never come back after that?"

Grandma Li shook her head, and put the washed vegetables on the chopping board: "No. Alas, the world of your monks is too dangerous, and you will lose your life if you are not careful. When I was young, I was timid and cherished my life, so I didn't go this way. Lu. For so many years, I have also thought about whether that girl is gone, but there is no news for this day, so I will miss it for a day, and I can't let it go in my heart. "

Speaking of this, Grandma Li paused while chopping vegetables, and said, "Miss Jing, after you practice Taoism, have you gone back to see your parents?"

Jing Yingrong poked the white and tender tofu in the wooden basin, and said, "I don't have parents."

Grandma Li was taken aback, with a look of embarrassment on her face, she wiped her hands with a loincloth in a helpless way: "I'm sorry Miss Jing, I shouldn't ask too much... Do you like sweet or salty?"

"It's okay. Anything is fine. Do you want to cut this too?" Jing Yingrong pointed to the tofu and asked.

After getting an affirmative answer from Grandma Li, she swiped her finger, and the tofu turned into a pile of small cubes.

Grandma Li: "That one needs to be cut into strips..."

Mirror Yingrong: "..."

After eating, Jing Yingrong returned to the small room.She looked at the spectacle stand, Yunluo flew up from her arms, and floated over to cover the mirror above.

She opened the closed windows and looked at the village embraced by the night.The soft light from the doors and windows of every house blends with the red lanterns outside, covering the stars and moon in the sky.There were children running and making noises outside, mixed with the chatting and laughing of adults, and the sounds of poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and sometimes one or two dogs barking.

Gradually, people went home separately, and the light of Chunhua lanterns was extinguished one by one. The night finally returned to tranquility, and the whole village fell into a deep sleep.

Jijie Pen: "Compared with places where monks are the mainstay, it feels very different."

Jing Yingrong's eyes were quiet, as peaceful as night, and she said softly, "Yes."

There was a hint of a smile in Jijie Pen's words: "It's quite fresh, otherwise—"

Jing Yingrong: "Stay for a few more days."

"Haha, very good, very good. Do you want to wake up Sha and Yan?"

Jing Yingrong closed the window and got into the mattress.

"I haven't reached the Dead Sea yet."

"I thought so too, let them continue to sleep, huh."

……

Emperor Melting Clan.

The Dirong tribe is adjacent to the desert. Compared with the vast and boundless desert, this place is completely different.

The river of dark red magma meanders, and volcanoes tower above the earth.Some have been dead for tens of thousands of years, growing precious spiritual plants surrounded by flames, and traces of monsters such as salamanders and fire insects can be seen from time to time; Clouds cover the sun.

Among them, three volcanoes are the most striking.One is translucent, and the golden liquid surging inside can be vaguely seen through the mountain; the other is the tallest, like a pillar of the sky, with layers of door openings cast on the surface of the mountain from top to bottom; the other is the most majestic. Huge, what's more special is that the surface of this volcano is covered with dense vegetation, and at first glance from the side, it is not much different from an ordinary mountain.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that this largest volcanic crater is like a flat and vast continent, carrying countless buildings, and the Emperor Rong family lives here.

A stream of red flames swept across the continuous volcanoes and headed straight for the habitat of the Emperor Rong tribe.Just when he was about to reach the big volcano, dozens of pillars of fire spewed out from the river of magma flowing on the ground, engulfing the flying red flames.
