Those who eat qi, live long life

Chapter 45
A few days passed quickly, Ding Niu first asked Feng Yunlong to say goodbye.

Fengyunlong had gone down the mountain a week earlier, and he didn't know where he went, and he hasn't come back yet.

Although he had explained his plan to him before, Ding Niu still left a handwritten talisman in Master Dan's room, informing him of his itinerary:
"It takes about half a month to go to Han Old City, and this disciple will set off for the Nanhai Sect to attend an appointment, and on the way to Minshan Sect and Dongyu Sect to meet some friends..."

After doing this, pack your bags and check your status:
On the natal chart, the starry sky shines, and the two rays of light are swallowing and nurturing, connected with his divine sense, and echoing with the starry sky.

In the center of the horoscope, the yellow beam map is slowly rotating, which is Ding Niu's greatest reliance.

Around the Huangliang map, there are streams of air currents: the qi of the cow's tears, the qi of the iron corpse, and the qi of escaping the ground, swirling according to a certain law.

For the past two months, he has used a lot of ox tear qi in daily alchemy to divide yin and yang, and this qi has grown much stronger than before, showing some bright green brilliance.

As for the Iron Corpse Qi and the Dundi Qi, they were used relatively less frequently, and they were only slightly enlarged, and they were still the same, white light.

The coat she wears is the blue cassock of the teacher's school. It is hard to hurt with ordinary swords. It can avoid some toxins and resist a certain degree of qi and mana. The inside is a modified fish scale armor. It looks like the whole person is a little bloated.

The Dikun bag is worn close to the body, inside it are Bazhen Pills, Yiqi Pills, Mengxi Pills, alchemy furnace, some medicinal materials, talisman seals, and daily-use things are placed here.

Ding Niu has exchanged all the contributions of the master's school for materials, plus the rewards he got for refining Mengxi pills for the Eight Kings: gold and silver, medicinal materials, gold and stone things, etc., Dikun can't pack much, and everything else is in the yellow box. Inside the beam map.

After checking and confirming that it was correct, Ding Niu closed the door, sealed it and went out, then went up to Jiaolong Peak, and bid farewell to Huang Cangtong.

When Huang Cangtong saw him, her face was still cold, but she habitually ordered:
"Let's go to Han Old City, walk around with your brother Huang Tianhua, and resolve the misunderstanding..."

Huang Cangtong didn't know about the deep hatred between Ding Niu and Huang Gang's family, and thought that the two could improve their relationship. Ding Niu couldn't tell him that the only one who knew on Xieyue Mountain that he and Huang Gang's family were inseparable, only Master Fengyun Dragon alone.

Listening to Huang Cangtong's words, Ding Niu just responded with a smile.

Huang Qi from the side rushed out, looking impatiently at Biding Niu:
"Niu Zhenzi, wait and go together."

"...Senior Sister is going too?"

"Nonsense! You can go, but I can't?"

Ding Niu looked at Huang Cangtong, and Huang Cangtong nodded: "This trip is also a response to the teacher's sect. Han Laocheng is not stable at the moment, and there are still many opposition groups secretly operating in the old country. It just so happens that you also need to experience... Your senior sister has lived in the city since she was a child. On the mountain, experience is inferior to yours, and the world is dangerous, you should take care of it."

Ding Niu opened his mouth, didn't say anything more, and nodded in response.

Now that Huang Cangtong has already said this, it would be inappropriate to evade. Although this person has a stinky face, he has taught him a lot during this time, and Ding Niu has already regarded him as half a master.

As Huang Cangtong said, he took out an alchemy furnace: "This is a three-legged, four-inch, eight-door alchemy furnace made according to what you said, and it's easy to use. Every time I see it, I always feel that I was tricked by you kid." , it's very eye-catching...you can take it away."

...Ding Niu had tears in his eyes, and quickly took it: "Master, you are very kind, but the disciple still needs a living armor to protect himself, I don't know..."

"Get out, it takes a lot of time and effort to make a living armor, who are you? How dare you ask for it?" Huang Cangtong said angrily, "Take the stove and get out!"

"Yes!" Ding Niu bid farewell, and came out with Huang Qi. When they went out, Ding Niu looked at Huang Qi: "Senior Sister, I don't know if you want to go with me to Han Old City next time, whether you want a short heel or a long heel?"

Huang Qi asked: "Oh, what is a short heel? What is a long heel?"

"Short follow, that is, we will go all the way to Han Old City and take care of each other. When we arrive at Han Old City, you will go to Jiaolongfeng's seniors and uncles, and we will bid farewell."

"Really? What about the long heels?"

"I went to Han Old City to refine alchemy to support the division, and I will leave when the share is almost completed. If you want to return to the division, I will send you back."

Ding Niu is short-handed, showing his dedication.

"Cut, who cares about your gift." Huang Qi asked, "Are you going to the Nanhai School when you come back?"

"good."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Okay." Ding Niu didn't say much, the two checked the items again, and first went to Chilong Peak together.

Yang Zhenzi and the others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that he had brought a person, he was surprised after looking at it carefully: "This is not..."

"Xi Zhenzi, this time I will go to the old city of Han with all my seniors, please take care of me." Huang Qi was very polite in front of everyone.

"You know each other?" Ding Niu asked.

"...Qi Zhenzi sometimes comes to our Chilong Peak with Uncle Huang Cangtong to make alchemy and walk around, so we know each other." Yang Zhenzi said, and couldn't help touching his head.

"That would be even better." Ding Niu was happy: "We are not outsiders, and we have a guide along the way."

"..."

Lang Zhenzi looked strange, and whispered to Feng Zhenzi: "This road will be inconvenient."

Ju Zhenzi sighed unobtrusively at the side: "Oh!"

No matter what, everyone gathered together, checked their luggage and equipment, went to the foreign affairs mountain gate first, and each took a dragon horse to do their legs.

I bought a batch of feed for Longma and spent another sum of contribution from the sect.

The people set off, riding dragon horses, traveling day and night, and named Xieyue Mountain in the territory of Zhao State, all the way unimpeded.

They rest in the wild on the way, and generally do not bother the towns on both sides, otherwise the officials of the whole city will come out to greet, give gifts, and treat guests.

Going all the way like this, in about five days, they arrived at the new border of Hanlao County, near Jinxi Town.

Ding Niu proposed to go back to Dingjiaji in Jinxi Town to pay homage to Ding's father. Everyone understood and expressed that they would go together to pay homage.

If the relationship is not in place, it may not be willing to do this. Ding Niu was happy, and everyone prepared their items and hurried on.

All the way is walking in the barren mountains and wild mountains, not wanting to disturb others.

Soon, they arrived at the barren hill outside Ding's family, where Ding's father was buried.

As he got closer, the scene in front of him made Ding Niu's teeth crack.

Father Ding's grave was actually dug out, the dilapidated coffins were scattered all over the ground, and the body was nowhere to be seen.

Ding Niu froze for a moment, the furious fire in his heart burned to his forehead, making his eyes red.

"……This……"

Yang Zhenzi and the others couldn't help holding Ryoma back, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Feng Zhenzi's expression was cold: "Look at the traces around, it was not planed by wild animals."

Yang Zhenzi frowned and said angrily, "Who did such a wicked thing?"

For no reason, who would do such a heartless thing?

Ding Niu already has the answer in his heart.

Regardless of the burial, everyone helped Ding Niu restore the tomb first, but Ding Niu didn't say a word, feeling very cold.

Ding Niu was sold into the town guard's mansion since he was a child. He didn't have deep feelings for Ding's father, but he still remembered Ding's father's care for him before the accident. Hatred cannot be washed away by the waters of the whole world.

"Walk."

Leaving all the way, the atmosphere was terribly depressed, Yang Zhenzi said: "Junior Brother, no matter who did it, I will definitely stand by your side in this matter."

Feng Zhenzi nodded: "That's right! I can guess who is most suspected, it's really unexpected!"

"Hehe, Flood Dragon Peak..."

After hearing this, Huang Qi gritted his teeth and carefully glanced at Ding Niu: "There is no evidence for this..."

Ding Niu took a deep breath and said, "Qi Zhenzi, this matter has nothing to do with you. When you arrive in Han Old City, you should go to your own senior uncle and senior brother. Don't mention this matter, lest I be laughed at."

"……What's the meaning?"

"I can't even take care of my biological father's affairs. I am extremely unfilial and shameful." Ding Niu said: "Please keep this matter a secret."

Hearing his unfamiliar tone, Huang Qi felt a pain in his heart unconsciously: "Ding Niu..."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." Ding Niu took another breath, suppressed his anger, and clasped his fists around: "Brother, please keep it a secret."

"Okay, we won't talk nonsense."

"Junior brother, keep silent."

Ding Niu nodded: "Don't stay in Jinxi Town anymore, go to Han Old Town."

When he was outside the old city of Han, Ding Niu's face was no different, Yang Zhenzi and others thought to themselves, how many waves were buried in this person's heart.

Everyone used the little trick of blindness to cover it up, and the horns of the dragon and horse were invisible. They were just ordinary horses, and they and their party were also ordinary quacks.

When I arrived at the gate of Han Old City, I found that the guards were heavily guarded. Soldiers coming and going guarded the gate, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit.

Yang Zhenzi took the lead to hit the horse, and the guard at the gate shouted: "Who is here? Why did you come to my cold old city?"

Yang Zhenzi didn't get off his horse, but showed his waist badge, which immediately alarmed the leader of the officers and soldiers defending the city, and came running over:
"I don't know if it's the fairy elder from Xieyue Mountain, please forgive me, forgive me!"

"Ah."

Immediately at the gate of the city, there were full-time staff to welcome them and lead them into the majestic city:
"Elder Immortal, we have been entrusted by Wang Sun. The immortal elders of Xieyue Mountain all live in Dongchengfang."

Yang Zhenzi asked, "Where are the other people from Xianshan?"

"They live together in Nanchengfang."

Along the way, passing through the criss-crossing long streets, Ding Niu noticed that there were patrolling soldiers everywhere on the street, running past noisy rivers and lakes from time to time, and few people went out, and those who walked were in a hurry with expressions on their faces. Panic.

The shops and doors on both sides of the street are almost closed.

Along the way, the whole city was so depressed that it seemed unpopular.

Zhao Ji, the eighth king of the Zhao Kingdom, is now the Governor of Ji County. It has been a long time since he took over the old city of Han. The capital where he sits is still a mess on the streets.

Soon they arrived at Dongchengfang, an area of ​​hundreds of acres in this corner of Han Laocheng, which was actually used to house their visitors from Xieyue Mountain.

"...Didn't you drive away the people here?"

"Immortal Chief, we didn't do this!" The little principal who led the way hurriedly explained: "Before the handover of Han Old City, the old Chinese people who were originally here left by themselves, and were relocated... more than half of them left one after another. The city has been vacated, and for this matter, the county sheriff even announced that those who are willing to live and work in Han Old City will be given a house in the city and land outside the city!"

"..."

Everyone finally understood why entering and not leaving at the gate of the city was allowed. The whole Hanlao City, even Hanlao County, was short of people.
