Jiang Ning nodded: "Thank you very much, Taoist priest."

After saying that, the middle-aged Taoist nodded and left.

During this time, Jiang Ning visited Songfeng Temple again and then waited in front of the gate.

Half an hour later, the Taoist priests who had come before came over with a bunch of packages. When they arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, they were frightened by the corpses and bloody smell on the ground.

At this time, Jiang Ning stood in front of the gym with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed. Behind him were corpses all over the ground. This picture was deeply imprinted in their minds.

Chapter 129: It's Over

"Mr. Jiang, these are the remaining wealth of your junior brother."

The middle-aged Taoist priest placed several packages on the ground and bowed to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning opened it and took a look, and found that it was full of jewelry and some mutton-fat jade.

More than a year has passed since the Fuwei Escort Agency was taken away. Yu Canghai either shared the gold, silver and jewelry he had taken from the Fuwei Escort Agency with his disciples or spent them. There is very little left, and only these are left.

However, these jewelries are the most valuable, especially the jade pieces, which are very priceless. Yu Canghai kept them and did not distribute them to his disciples. They were of no use to him, so he just kept them in the room. Now they have all been returned.

Jiang Ning put these things together and prepared to go down the mountain.

Before going down the mountain, Jiang Ning took a look at these Taoists and asked a question.

"What are your plans for the future, Taoist priests?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Be true to yourself and help others."

Jiang Ning didn't say anything else.

"Farewell."

Downhill.

The scenery of Qingcheng Mountain is very beautiful, with undulating peaks and lush green trees. It has a different kind of beauty compared to the scenery of Huashan Mountain.

When Jiang Ning walked down the mountain, he found Maodou, who was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, chasing and playing with several children.

When the children saw such a tall donkey, they couldn't help but come forward to tease it, which made Maodou very annoyed. In the end, he chased after the children, laughing as he ran.

Sometimes Maodou would pretend that he couldn't run any faster and stop to catch his breath, and the children would stop and laugh. Maodou would unexpectedly sprint forward and knock them to the ground. The children would immediately burst into tears, and Maodou would stand beside them with his big teeth bared and grinning in a nasty way.

"Okay, stop playing."

Jiang Ning shouted, and Maodou, grinning with his big teeth, ran towards Jiang Ning.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ning climbed onto Maodou's back. Just as Maodou was about to leave, the group of children behind him caught up with him, shouting at him, "Don't run away, big donkey."

Maodou stopped for a moment when he heard the calls. When the children saw this, their eyes lit up and they ran over faster. When they got close, Maodou suddenly dug his hind legs hard, and a cloud of dust flew behind him. The children had a mouthful of dust and their faces were covered with dirty dust. They immediately burst into tears.

"Ang ang ang~"

Maodou gave a happy cry and ran away.

The peasant women who heard their children crying came running over, and were so angry at seeing this scene that they started cursing. A few of the more ferocious ones even chased and cursed, picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at Jiang Ning, but they missed because the distance was too far.

"You."

Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly, while Maodou grinned smugly with his big teeth.

As it was getting dark, Jiang Ning planned to find a place to stay first.

The Emei Sect is hundreds of miles away from here. It would take several days to get there unless one is in a special hurry. There is no need for Jiang Ning to be in such a hurry. Moreover, when he first arrived in Sichuan, Jiang Ning hired someone to deliver a visiting card to the Emei Sect in advance. There is still a long time before the time for him to visit, so Jiang Ning can walk slowly.

Jiang Ning is a disciple of the Huashan Sect. His every word and action after going out represents the Huashan Sect. Especially when visiting other sects, he must be courteous. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt for Jiang Ning to go to Mount Emei to visit without saying anything beforehand.

The sky was completely dark. Jiang Ning stayed at a village home for one night and set off again the next day.

The Sichuan people were very hospitable. Instead of refusing, they warmly entertained Jiang Ning. When Jiang Ning was about to leave early the next morning, the villagers wanted to invite Jiang Ning to stay for a few more days.

Jiangning walked for another two days and met many men and women who were dressed differently from ordinary Sichuan people. They were all Miao people, and their clothes were mainly blue.

The Miao people are distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan, and are rarely seen in the Central Plains.

During the few days Jiang Ning walked along the way, he passed by many Miao villages. The Miao people were all very welcoming, and the Miao women were lively and generous. What impressed Jiang Ning the most was their laughter that sounded like silver bells.

"Brother Aning, the fish in sour soup is ready."

A Miao child ran towards Jiangning with a bowl in both hands, laughing as he ran.

"Ouch."

The Miao child ran too fast and was tripped by a small stone and fell to the ground. His body fell forward and the bowl in his hand flew out.

The child raised his head, his face was covered with mud, his little mouth was puffy, his eyes were red, and it looked like he was about to cry in the next second.

But the child just stood up, brushed the dirt off his body, smiled at Jiang Ning, and one of his front teeth fell out.

"Brother Aning, I'll get you another bowl."

After saying that, the Miao child turned around and was about to run back into the house, and the next second his body was hanging in the air.

"Let's go inside and eat."

Jiang Ning picked him up, put one arm around his chest, and walked into the house.

There were two Miao elders in the house, placing dishes and chopsticks. When they saw Jiang Ning and his grandson come in, the elders smiled at Jiang Ning, but their expressions were helpless when they saw the dirt on their grandson's body.

"I told you to slow down but you didn't listen."

One of the old men took the child from Jiang Ning's arms, patting the dirt off his body while muttering to himself.

There are only two elderly people and their grandson in this family. Their son and daughter-in-law were eaten by wild beasts when they went into the mountains a few years ago, and the two elderly people raised their grandson.

Another old man asked Jiang Ning to sit down.

On the table were the Miao ethnic group's specialties, one of which was the sour soup fish that the child had just served to Jiang Ning.

The Miao people prefer sour food, among which sour soup fish is the most famous.

Jiang Ning took a bite and found it was indeed delicious, with a different flavor from what he usually ate.

After a simple meal, Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks. After the Miao child knew that he was from another place, he pestered him to tell stories.

Jiang Ning was not good at telling stories, so he picked out some interesting things that he encountered during his travels and told them to the Miao children. Although his storytelling skills were not very good, the Miao children's eyes sparkled as they listened.

night.

The Miao child leaned on Jiang Ning's legs and fell asleep, while Jiang Ning looked at the moon in the sky and thought about Emei Sect.

The Emei Sect is located in the Jinding Temple on Mount Emei. Unlike the Emei Sect in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, the current Emei Sect has changed a lot from the Emei Sect a hundred years ago.

A hundred years ago in the Emei Sect, which was the period of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, the Emei Sect valued girls over boys, and the status of male disciples was lower than that of female disciples. Only female disciples could obtain the sect's superior martial arts, and only female disciples could sit in the position of the sect leader.

But now, the Emei Sect is headed by a man named Master Jin Guang, and his disciples have been replaced by Taoists.

The original Emei Sect was a Buddhist sect, but now it has become a Taoist sect, which is completely the opposite of the Emei Sect a hundred years ago. It is difficult to understand what huge changes have taken place within the Emei Sect in the past hundred years to become what it is today.

Chapter 130: Miao Nu

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ning said goodbye to the Miao family and set off again under the reluctant gaze of the Miao child.

We had been walking for three days and were getting closer and closer to Mount Emei.

After walking another thirty miles, Jiang Ning took shelter in a dilapidated temple.

It’s not that he didn’t want to continue on his journey, but it was raining again.

Wow!

Jiang Ning sat in the dilapidated temple. Outside, raindrops fell from the sky as densely as marbles, and the rain was getting heavier.

Jiang Ning lit a bonfire and roasted a few pigeons on the fire.

He had just shot these pigeons on the road and they could be used as food.

After roasting for a while, the pigeon's skin turned yellow, and fat oozed out from under the skin and dripped into the campfire below, causing a few more flames to appear.

rustle.

rustle.

Jiang Ning finally finished roasting the pigeons. When he took one of the pigeons and was about to eat it, footsteps were heard outside the temple.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to the temple.

Jiang Ning's ears moved slightly.

The footsteps were dense but scattered. One of the footsteps was far away from the other footsteps and sounded very light, like a woman. The footsteps behind were approaching the previous one, as if they were chasing this person.

The sound was getting closer and closer. Jiang Ning turned around and saw a graceful figure appear at the entrance of the temple.

"Brother!"

The woman who entered the dilapidated temple was delighted when she saw Jiang Ning eating roasted pigeon. She quickly ran over, calling him "Brother".

After a while, the dense footsteps outside the temple were getting closer and closer, and seven or eight men appeared at the door of the dilapidated temple.

"Kale, where are you going? Come back with us!"

One of the older middle-aged men shouted harshly.

"I'm not going back!"

The woman who ran into the temple earlier hid behind Jiang Ning and shouted at the middle-aged man.

"I won't marry Wengwa, I don't like him!"

"Go back and tell him that I have someone I like, so he can give up on this idea!"

The middle-aged man was furious: "You can make the decision on your own about marriage? Who is the person you like?"

Kale pointed at Jiang Ning and said, "That's him."

Jiang Ning frowned.
