Tianxian Road

Chapter 108

The evening glow covered the sky, and when the setting sun shed the last ray of afterglow, Zhao Ercai of Lijiang Village returned to the village and home with a few men who went to the market together.

Seeing that a cart full of firewood had been pushed away in the morning, only the salt grains that had been less than [-]% before was replaced. His wife touched her face with her sleeve, but without saying a word, she took out a stone from the stove and rubbed it vigorously. Scrape over pan.

Zhao Er sat on the pit with a sad face, picked up the kettle and planned to pour water into the porcelain bowl, but suddenly found that the kettle was usually full, but today there was only a sip of water left. Why is there no water in the middle?"

"Today a traveler came and asked me to beg for saliva, and I gave it." Mrs. Zhao said while lighting a fire.

Zhao Er, who is simple by nature, became anxious when he heard this: "Our village is close to a deep mountain and a big river. It's very unsafe at night, and there are no shops in front of the village. If someone comes to ask for water, why don't you leave him alone?" Late? Our family has nothing worth thinking about, and we are very poor at first glance... If he was killed by a wild beast, wouldn't it be our fault?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, she immediately pulled her face down: "Stay, stay, stay! Keeping people depends on whether there is rice for the pot! That person looks tall and thin, and he doesn't look like he can eat. When you meet a famine fighter who eats harder than anyone else, how can you still treat half of the food and say that there is no food?"

Zhao Er didn't say anything, just sat aside and sulked.Mrs. Zhao was not forgiving, and scolded: "I have never seen you so kind on weekdays. The old man on the mountainside led the blind man to live for two or three years, and when you caught some prey, you sent some internal organs. Why? Didn't you see you bring them home? One old and one young, isn't it more pitiful than a strong man?"

"Oh, you mother-in-law, why..." Zhao Er was angry, "I said one sentence, but you said ten sentences!"

Leaving aside the bickering between the two couples, Ye Yaoyao, the traveler that Zhao was talking about, was walking up the mountain step by step.

After reconciling and parting, Ye Yaoyao thought about it seriously, and felt that his proposal was very good and at the right time.

What happened to Yue Qianzhao taught her how to bow her head humbly and face up to all those who are forced to sink but still face life positively.Let go of the pride of being a "practice", travel as an ordinary person, and watch the world, and then you can gain some understanding of life.After all, for many things, "knowing", "seeing" and "experience in person" are always three different concepts.

Out of this consideration, Ye Xinyao put on a little disguise, pretending to be a middle-aged traveler with dusty clothes and grey-haired temples, and began to travel around the world.

Of course, no matter how she looks like, she can't be a real traveler.What's more, in this era of endless wars, travelers, hermits, and masters exist, who are disheartened by reality. Of course there are those who truly escape from the world and live in seclusion, but most of them want to take the ultimate shortcut.And most of these people like to go to well-known scenic spots to live in seclusion, and plan to see if their luck is good, whether they can meet a traveling emperor, prince, etc. Ye Xinyao is different.

The places Ye Xinyao traveled to were mostly deep mountains and old forests that were rich in the spiritual energy of the earth, beautiful in beauty but few people had visited, or the battlefields where many bones were buried and large-scale battles took place.

These two types of places are full of aura and resentment, so it is easy to produce ghosts, retain ghosts, and there are many anecdotes and strange things.Compared with the gossip and trifles of parents that can be seen everywhere, Ye Xinyao is still more interested in anecdotes.Besides, only by being different can we further observe the world situation!

When it was a hundred miles away from Lijiang Village, Ye Yaoyao sensed that there was a spiritual creature living here, but she couldn't pinpoint the specific location of the other person, so she couldn't help but rush to take a look.Unexpectedly, when she got close to this place, she realized that there were so many demons and ghosts here that it was unreasonable. Ye Yaoyao became even more curious. Using the name of asking for water, she randomly found a woman who seemed to be quite open-mouthed. The other party was completely dry, so he walked up the mountain calmly.

The mountain road is rugged, overgrown with weeds, and filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

After walking for about two hours, the sky had completely darkened, and Ye Yaoyao realized that there was a very simple house on a flat land in front of her.

No, it should not be called a house, it is just a pavilion made of a few logs, some rags and some weeds, which can neither shelter the wind nor the rain.

The ground in the "house" is full of mud, potholes, and there are no traces of repairs.The curtain on the east side is the most complete, and some damp straw is laid there.

On the stack of straw, the old and the young slept in each other's arms, but they were wrapped up in a ball, shivering from the cold, unable to sleep at all.

Ye Yaoyao thought for a moment, then she still stepped forward leisurely, and lightly knocked on the wood supporting the house, as if she was knocking on a door that didn't exist at all.

During this process, her consciousness has been observing the two people in the room. Unexpectedly, the old man showed a very light, very light sarcasm that disappeared in an instant, then stood up tremblingly, and patted the child. back, walked tremblingly to the center of the room, and said in an old voice: "Please come in."

This is... really interesting!
Ye Yao smiled softly, opened the curtain, avoided the puddles on the ground, and walked into the small room.

At this moment, the boy suddenly covered his eyes and howled in pain: "It...it hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Ah! It hurts!"

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help being anxious, he rushed to the straw pile in three steps at a time, put his arms around the boy, and asked, "Heng'er, what's wrong with you, Heng'er?"

The boy struggled for a long time, and then gradually calmed down. He was looking at Ye Yaoyao steadfastly, showing various expressions mixed with doubt, puzzlement, joy, expectation, etc. After a long while, Fang Nam said: "It's so bright, this big sister is so bright, it's so bright that it hurts my eyes."

With a thought in her heart, Ye Yaoyao took off her disguise and asked, "Can you... can I touch your eyes?"

The boy was still hesitating, but the old man said loudly, "No!"

"grandfather……"

"Since Heng'er was born, I don't know how many monsters, monks and priests have come. They all say that he is very talented. They either want to take him as a disciple or want to eat him, but they can't get close." Maybe it was the sentence just now. The words were too fast and too extreme. The old man coughed violently for a while before continuing, "My poor daughter and son-in-law were accused of being evildoers. but……"

Ye Yaoyao had long seen that the old man possessed martial arts, and according to the standards of people in this world, he was quite good.It is precisely because of his strong energy and blood that he protected his grandson from being devoured by monsters.But that's the case, surrounded by a crowd of ghosts, his lifespan may exceed a hundred years, but he is too old to be unreasonable before his sixtieth year.

Knowing that the other party was worried about this matter, Ye Yao smiled and said lightly: "If you mean those jumping clowns outside... Those who dare to block my way have already been cleaned up by me. I don't even bother to take care of them."

"This big sister...is so bright." The boy suddenly repeated what he said just now, "It's much brighter than everything I've ever seen...everything I've seen."

Hearing him say it again, Ye Yaoyao thought of a record in the book, and asked tentatively, "Aren't most of the things you've seen only black and white?"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help being stunned. The boy looked at his grandfather as if asking for help. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he looked at Ye Yaoyao again, and Fang nodded hesitantly.

The view of the self is actually... the view of the self.

Ye Xinyao was shocked in her heart, but still calm, she said calmly, "Since your eyes hurt badly when you see me, you might as well close your eyes. If you don't see your eyes, your mind will be pure. I just saw that there are so many monsters and ghosts here, so I was a little curious, so I can't help you." Come here to have a look. But, little brother, in your eyes... am I a human or a demon?"
