Chapter 73 Demonic Qi
"Senior brother Shen, we have been here for several days, but we still can't find the whereabouts of the tiger demon. Why don't we go back."

The girl in yellow who spoke was one year older than Jiang Yuebai, looking at the boy in white beside Zhilan Yushu with starry eyes.

Different from her usual domineering and domineering, she is now a gentle and well-behaved young lady.

"Junior Sister Lin, please be safe and don't worry. I will accompany you on a special trip this time. I will definitely help you find the tiger demon to complete this year's mission. Don't worry."

"You still treat me well, my ancestor doesn't care about me at all."

"Elder Lin also wants to train you. If he really doesn't care about you, why would he ask me to take care of you?"

"Then do you mind if I'm just an outer disciple and not worthy of you?"

"How come, Elder Lin is kind to my Shen family, and you have a marriage contract with me, so why would I mind your status."

"Brother Huaixi, you are so kind."

That girl was Lin Suiwan, and Jiang Yuebai had never met the person next to her, so guessing from Lin Suiwan's address, she should be the inner sect Shen Huaixi.

She didn't expect that it was Lin Suiwan who took over the task here, it's really a narrow road for enemies.

There was a talisman on Jiang Yuebai's body that concealed her breath. She lowered her bamboo hat and walked past the two of them quietly.

Lin Suiwan felt something in his heart, stopped and turned around, frowning in doubt, "Strange, why do I seem to see..."

"What's wrong, who did you see?"

Lin Suiwan's eyes flickered slightly, "It's nothing, let's go, let's find out about the host of Wuweiguan."

……

Avoiding mortals, Jiang Yuebai Yujian landed in the woods outside Qingxi Town, restrained his aura, straightened his clothes and walked out.

Approaching the edge of the forest, a middle-aged woman appeared in front of her, carrying a bundle of firewood alone, with a hoe in one hand and a vegetable basket in the other. The basket was full of wild vegetables that often appeared in spring.

She bowed her body, took two steps and then squeezed the firewood behind her tightly, walking with difficulty.

Jiang Yuebai stepped forward, "Auntie, let me help you."

The woman turned her head when she heard the sound, her complexion was sallow and thin, full of traces of time.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Yuebai had already unloaded the firewood from her shoulders and carried it on his shoulders with ease.

"I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have great strength."

The woman said embarrassingly: "Little lady Xu Ying, thank you so much."

"You're welcome. I also want to ask my aunt for directions. Is Qingxi Town ahead?"

Xu Ying nodded, "It's Qingxi Town, is the heroine visiting relatives or friends?"

Jiang Yuebai motioned and said as he walked, "I'm looking for someone. I don't know if my aunt knows if there is a family named Tao in Qingxi Town. Their ancestors should be blacksmiths."

Xu Ying nodded with a smile, "Yes, the Tao's blacksmith shop has been passed down for four generations in Qingxi Town, and now the Tao boy is very good at making farm tools, and the price is affordable, and the neighbors like to go to his blacksmith shop Repair farm implements."

"Does Auntie know Tao Fengnian?"

Xu Ying paused, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Is the little heroine a disciple of the fairy sect?"

Jiang Yuebai pretended to be puzzled, "Why does Auntie ask such a question?"

The light in Xu Ying's eyes gradually dimmed, her expression lost, she sighed before speaking slowly.

"Master Tao was very famous in Qingxi Town back then. When I was young, I listened to Master Tao's lectures outside his private school. He passed the examination as a scholar when he was less than [-] years old, and made the Tao family honorable. Unfortunately, not long after we got married, his wife went out. Cai Mai was hit by a carriage and broke his leg."

"Madam Tao is also pitiful. She had a high fever and didn't get over it, so she went there. Master Tao was depressed after that, and then suddenly disappeared. The Tao family said that he had a fairy fate, so he went to seek immortality. I didn't believe it. There are immortals in this world, how could my husband be taken away by a passing immortal later on."

Xu Ying smiled wryly and smoothed her gray hair at the temples. She was not yet forty, but already had silver hair, just like an old woman in her fifties or sixties.

"On the day he left, he said that when he came back with achievements in cultivation, he would pick me up to go to Xianmen to enjoy the blessings together. I have been waiting for him, but unfortunately I have not seen him come back after waiting for more than 20 years. Cough, I made the little heroine laugh. Always like to nag."

Jiang Yuebai shook her head, "It's okay, if Auntie wants to talk, you can tell me."

Xu Ying talked with Jiang Yuebai all the way back to Qingxi Town.

In the evening, it was foggy and rainy.

The ancient town is built near the water, the reflections of the pavilions on both sides of the river, and the ripples pushed by the small boats with black awnings.

Walking across the small stone arch bridge, the smell of food wafts from the houses with white walls and black tiles, and Wu Nong's soft words are everywhere, calling his children to go back to eat.

"Aunt Ying, is this your relative? Such a beautiful girl."

"No, don't talk nonsense."

"Aunt Ying, I just ordered tofu at home, take a piece back and eat."

"Nothing, nothing, how can I always eat free food at your house."

Along the way, the villagers in the surrounding villages were very concerned about Xu Ying. One family gave her two corn buns, and the other two sweet potatoes, which made Xu Ying feel very embarrassed.

meow~
Many wild cats came out of the alley and from the roof, and the guards usually followed Xu Ying and went home with her.

Jiang Yuebai looked at Xinqi and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter with these cats?"

Xu Ying said with a smile: "A few years ago I was digging wild vegetables in the mountains and saved a kitten. After that, the cats in the town were very close to me. I would get them some water and food when I was fine. These cats saved me. many times."

"One time I was almost bitten by a poisonous snake. A wild cat jumped out and killed the poisonous snake. The most dangerous time was when I encountered a big bug. A group of wild cats came up and drove the big bug away. Otherwise, I would not have survived."

"Big bug? I heard that there are tiger demons around Qingxi Town."

Xu Ying nodded, "Yes, look at that house over there, the white lantern on the door has not been taken down yet, the head of his house came back at night last month, and was seduced by the tiger demon with a ghost, but as long as you don't You'll be fine if you walk at night, I'm here, just put the firewood at the door, and I'll take you to Tao's blacksmith shop."

Walking to a dilapidated courtyard, Jiang Yuebai put down the firewood, "No need, auntie show me the way, I'll go there by myself."

"Then come in and drink a bowl of water before leaving. I'm tired all the way."

It's not easy to refuse, Jiang Yuebai went into the house to drink water.

"Danggui? Angelica, I'm back~"

Xu Ying called around, turned around and explained, "Danggui is the kitten I rescued in the mountains. It is quite spiritual. I have been raising it. I don't know where I am going crazy."

meow~
The wild cats squatted on the wall one by one, staring at Jiang Yuebai covetously, her heart was moved, and she activated her spiritual eye technique to take a look.

The spiritual eye technique, like the clean dust technique, is a functional basic technique that can detect special auras. Jiang Yuebai swept away Xu Ying, and his pupils shrank.

There was a dark purple aura on Xu Ying's body. According to the book, it should be a demonic aura, not very strong.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at the wild cats around again, and there was no evil spirit.

Xu Ying's family is poor, and he often went to the mountains to cut firewood and dig wild vegetables and fungi for food, so he probably got contaminated by something accidentally.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuebai deliberately went over to mention something.

"Auntie, I heard that an old fairy came to Wuwei Temple on the mountain today. If you want to inquire about the trace of the fairy, you might as well go to Wuwei Temple to see, maybe you will gain something."

Xu Ying's eyes lit up, "Really? Are there really old gods?"

"Well, I just came down from the mountain, and many people are saying."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

Jiang Yuebai felt relieved, she didn't know how to get rid of the evil spirit, Zhao Wude was often active in the mortal world, so he must have a way better than her.

Leaving Xu Ying's house, Jiang Yuebai went straight to Tao's blacksmith's shop. The blacksmith's shop was closed, and the back yard was brightly lit, and there were laughter and laughter.

"Grandpa gave me candy."

"I wish Taigong a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

"Grandpa, grandpa, I want to eat candy too."

"You little monkeys, go play and don't tire the grandpa."

Jiang Yuebai disappeared and jumped onto the courtyard wall, and saw four generations living together, a group of young and old grandchildren gathered at the table.

The old lady was smiling and full of energy, playing with the infant baby next to her with a rattle.

His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Tao Fengnian, so he should be his younger brother.

Jiang Yuebai felt bitter in his mouth, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Is it worthwhile to abandon the joy of a mortal life, hang your life on the tip of a knife, and struggle all your life to seek immortality?
If grandpa saw this scene before him, would he regret stepping into the fairy gate without hesitation back then?

If he could join the Taoist temple like Zhao Wude and stay with his relatives, would his life be better now?Will you live longer?

There were no answers to all kinds of questions, Jiang Yuebai sighed deeply, jumped off the courtyard wall and left.

The night wind is blowing, and the leaves are rustling.

The old man in the courtyard felt something, and looked towards the wall.

"Grandfather, what are you looking at?"

"I seem to see my brother."

"You must be delusional. Uncle has already become a fairy. Now he is going to enjoy the blessings in the fairy world. How can he come down to the mortal world to suffer?"

"That's right, he has become a fairy. He lives a hundred years and is at ease. It's really enviable."

"Grandpa, grandpa, tell Nian'er the story of Uncle becoming a fairy again, I want to hear it."

"Okay, Nian'er wants to hear it, Grandfather will tell you again, it is Mixianling in Leyou Mountain, rumors..."

 Thank you [Xunran] Wanshou, the fourth update today, I will add it tomorrow if the monthly ticket is 200
