But when Tangtang was anxious to ask about the situation, Jing Er stopped her and said, "If you suddenly go to his house to ask about Xiaobai, he might be hesitant and unwilling to tell the truth. Let me try to get some information. I have more experience in this area."
........
Asking Jing Jie to wait in the inn for a while, Jing Er put on a wig, bought two pots of wine, and took the little girl to the hunter's house.
dong dong——
The wooden door opened quickly, and the hunter named Zhu leaned out and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Haha, Brother Zhu, right? I heard from Old Wu that you killed a stupid spore, so I came here specially to buy half a leg to try it out."
It turns out the buyer is here!
"Brother, you are really well-informed. Come in quickly."
Jing'er was eloquent and knew a lot of interesting stories, both true and false. The hunter named Zhu also liked to chat with people. As the two chatted, it didn't take long for them to become friends who had known each other for years.
After buying half a leg of the silly spore, Jing Er shook the wine pot in his hand, revealing an expression of regret for not meeting each other earlier: "Brother, have you eaten yet? There is wine and meat here, why not just open a stove at your house!"
"Haha, that's good."
After drinking and eating meat, the two of them couldn't stop talking.
Under Jing'er's guidance, the drunken hunter named Zhu told the news about Xiaobai.
"I'll tell you, brother, you won't believe it! There are actually some incredible people in this world."
"Oh?"
"A moving skeleton, a man as fat as a ball. Um, that, yes, the aura! The aura was so overwhelming that I was scared silly when I came down from the mountain."
Jing Er poured him a glass of wine and looked willing to listen. The little girl also quickly pricked up her ears.
"The skeleton was cracked, and the man was bleeding. But from what the man said, it seemed that the skeleton was trying to show off its strength and fight him."
Tangtang's heart suddenly tightened. With her help from the bowl, Xiaobai would be able to hold down the dough and beat it.
But if he fights alone, Xiaobai is probably no match for Dough!
After all, one has just broken through, and the other has achieved immortality for many years, so there must be a gap in their strength.
"Brother Zhu, what did that man say?" Jing Er asked hurriedly.
"let me see......"
The hunter surnamed Zhu imitated Qianmian's tone and said, "Although you chased me all the way and injured me severely, you were injured even more seriously! There is no need to fight anymore. I can promise that I will never cause trouble for her again."
"Then what?" Tangtang asked urgently.
"And then, burp, the fight will stop. Shake hands and make peace, and go home! Hahahaha."
........
It is impossible to shake hands, but Xiaobai has already vented his anger, and Dough really doesn't want to continue fighting, so they should stop fighting in the end.
But, since the war was stopped so early, why hasn't Xiaobai come back until now?
After leaving the hunter's house, Tangtang kept thinking about this question.
"Do you have any clues?" Jing Er asked the little girl.
"Xiaobai is very powerful. Even though he is injured, there shouldn't be any cultivator in Yufu Country who can trap him."
This, this tone is so arrogant!
Jing Er couldn't help but ask, "How powerful is Xiao Bai? Has he been promoted?"
"Xiaobai is a very special demon. He can gather demonic clouds and emit Buddha's light!"
"..."
Seeing Jing Er's confused face, the little girl said more clearly: "It is equivalent to an immortal, the same realm as Uncle Zhu Heimian."
Uh.
"The senior Zhu who taught me before? I remember that he has been promoted to the top monk in the world."
Jing Er was even more confused: "What do you mean by immortals?"
Chapter 211 Sangui Town
The Yufu Kingdom is small and closed, and has had little communication with the outside world for many years.
Jing Er knew the concept of promotion thanks to his junior fellow apprentice who had been taught by Zhu Heimian.
But Zhu Heimian never regarded Jingjie as his disciple, but just a "prepared food".
You don’t need to know anything about immortality or extinction when preparing ingredients, just work hard to upgrade.
Therefore, in Jing Er's understanding, Senior Zhu, the eldest senior brother and the second senior brother, these three are the top practitioners in the world, and those who are promoted are invincible in the world!
"The Immortal is the title given to those who have achieved immortality."
The little girl tried to organize her words: "The Immortals have great abilities, as powerful as dozens of Ascended Ones. They have long lifespans and a wide range of knowledge. In short, they are very powerful."
Are there really such powerful practitioners in the world?
It's incredible.
Jing Er thought for a moment and asked, "Tangtang, are there many beings above the Ascenders out there?"
"Not many, not many. The number of living immortals, demons, and gods that Tangtang has met can be counted on two hands."
That's a lot! Even if all the practitioners in Yufu Country were added together, I wonder if there would be enough of them to count on the fingers of my hand.
And what does it mean to add "alive" specifically?
Jing Er repeatedly asked the little girl about some things in the outside world. He learned that the State of Wu had suffered continuous disasters and had fought a war with the State of Shang; in the State of Sang, a demon mother openly snatched the prince, and the people in the temple gathered to rebel; there were false gods causing chaos on the grassland, and it had just suffered a great defeat recently, and the shamans were leading the tribes to migrate westward.
"..."
"Yufu Kingdom is actually quite good." After listening to Tangtang's story, Jing Er suddenly sighed.
"Yes, it's good. Roasted pumpkin is delicious!" The little girl nodded repeatedly.
“It’s really strange when you think about it this way.”
"What?" Tangtang was unable to keep up with Jing'er's rhythm for a moment.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai is a great demon. Even if he is seriously injured, there is no cultivator in Yufu Country who can trap him."
Before, Jing Er thought Tangtang was too arrogant, but now after understanding the situation, he felt that the girl's statement was too conservative.
There 'should' be no way a practitioner can trap it. It's simply impossible.
.........
After returning to the inn, the three of them discussed and came up with three possibilities as to why Xiaobai had not returned yet.
When encountering a foreign immortal being detained, Qianmian suddenly regretted his decision and plotted against Xiaobai. Xiaobai found a holy place for healing in Yufu Kingdom and was recuperating.
"This is where we are currently. According to Tangtang, the grassland is in the southwest of Yufu Country."
The Yufu Kingdom could not find a ready-made map, but Jing'er drew one on the spot.
"Xiaobai can also sense where Tangtang is. The shortest route from here to the grassland is--"
After drawing a line on the map, Jing Er continued, "It passes through one town and four villages. We can definitely go right if we ask in this direction."
"Sure enough, for this kind of thing, I should ask my senior brother for help."
Jing Jie took a bite of the roasted pumpkin and gave Jing Er a thumbs up.
"I don't want verbal thanks. Just prepare some of your signature dishes for me tonight." Jing Er chuckled.
"Brother Jing'er, what do you want to eat? Tangtang, go out and buy some vegetables." The little girl said hurriedly.
"We can't lack wine and meat, and we can also have some lotus root slices, beans, wild mushrooms and the like." Jing Er stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"it is good!"
After a pause, the little girl asked again in confusion: "I've wanted to ask this for a long time, Senior Brothers Jingjie and Jinger, don't you have to observe the precepts?"
"I just broke my vows, and I haven't figured out what vows I'm going to keep next time."
"It's too troublesome to observe the precepts and practice. I won't take this path."
After hearing their answers, Tangtang became more confused: "That's not what I meant. It's that ordinary monks don't kill, don't eat meat, don't tell lies, and they also beg for alms. But, but you don't seem to care about these."
"The eldest brother never asked us to do something or not to do something, so everyone is more free to do what they want." Jing Jie explained casually.
Seeing the little girl staring at his bald head, Jing Jie laughed and said, "The reason why I always shave my head is because it's easy to get lice when the hair is long, which is uncomfortable!"
"So you are not monks," Tangtang suddenly realized.
"We were raised by our eldest brother in Guantian Temple since we were young, so we must be monks." Jing Er said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, why would you call yourself a poor monk in front of outsiders?"
Yes, is that so?
The little girl was a little confused again.
.........
Tangtang didn’t dwell on the question of whether Jingjie and Jinger were monks for too long.
Anyway, no matter who they are, they are good people who are eager to help me.
"Strange, the town actually changed its name."
"Sangui Town, it sounds much better than the previous name."
Jingjie and Jinger stood in front of the town. After commenting on its new name, they took the little girl to find an inn to settle down.
"Long, long, long."
He drank some water to moisten his throat, and his well-ear activated his earth-ear communication.
"..."
The ear was stuck to the ground like a big suction cup and listened for a long time. Then Jing Er retracted his magical power and said, "I haven't heard from Xiao Bai yet, but we'd better leave here quickly."
"Is there a powerful evil thing in this town? Great, let's roast it and get rid of the evil for the people!"
what?
Jing Er looked at his junior fellow apprentice in astonishment: "What does roasting mean? Shouldn't it be sealed?"
"No, no, no. If we seal it today, it might come out tomorrow." Jing Jie swallowed his saliva and said, "It's better to roast it, or steam or boil it. So what kind of evil thing is it? I'll prepare some seasonings in advance."
"It's not an evil thing, it's a sleeping sickness."
Jing Er said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. Tangtang will be frightened by you."
Hearing this, Jing Jie was immediately disappointed. He shook his head and said, "Brother, why didn't you say so earlier? And don't worry about it. Tangtang won't be scared by me. She really understands food."
what?
Jing Er couldn't help but look at the little girl, who said embarrassedly: "Well, I don't really want to eat it. It's just that we can't waste it. If it's really ready, just taste a few bites."
.......
Jing Er advised his junior fellow apprentice not to be greedy for those strange things, and asked him to be careful about his words and actions and not to lead the children astray.
Of course Jing Jie was very unconvinced, and the two of them started arguing.
Suddenly, Jing Jie, who had been arguing with his senior brother and was red in the face, staggered and fell down, followed by Tangtang, who also fell to the ground with a thud.
Jing'er's face changed drastically, but he soon felt so sleepy that he couldn't even keep his eyelids open.
"Hululu--"
"Huh, huh-"
“Snoring, snore——”
As the sun sets, the crescent moon quietly climbs up the branches.
The little girl's eyebrows trembled and she woke up first, rubbing her eyes.
"Jing Jie, Brother Jing Er, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"
Jing Jie was startled and immediately jumped up from the ground: "Oh no, we ran into a shady shop!"
"See if there is any money missing from your possessions." Jing Er frowned and said, "If there is any, then it is a shady shop. If there is no money missing, maybe we have been infected with sleep disease."
