Chapter 46 Preparing to Leave the Valley
Bing Xin was taken aback for a moment, and swallowed back the words she just said.

This is also good?
It's just asking for directions. Isn't it a little too kind?
It was Cheng Lingsu who guessed what Duan Chao meant. Of course she knew that Duan Chao didn't know if this was the 'Yanxuan Valley', but Bing Xin, who had lived here for so many years, might know.

It was also because of this that Duan Chao wanted to ask questions before Bing Xin did.It is good to be able to give benefits, but in essence he still wants to extract information from the other party.

But having said that, there are many ways to cliché, and the lower limit like Duan Chao is not available to everyone.

Hearing Duan Chao's words, the old monk was not angry, but he shook his head slightly and said calmly:
"The benefactor is joking. There is no merit in being a monk, and there is really no 'benefit' at all."

Duan Chao immediately cast a contemptuous look.

"Ahem." Sensing Brother Chao's gaze, he paused and then said, "Old Nana is called the Shufu of the Chamber of Commerce. If the donor can give me directions to the valley, I will be grateful. From now on, I will recite sutras for the benefactor." A thousand times, I pray that the benefactor will be safe and happy in everything, and that he will have long blessings in his life."

Duan Chao once again cast a "you're kidding me" look.

Are you kidding me? If chanting sutras a thousand times would make everything safe, then people all over the world would become monks.

He was about to ask for something substantial, but Cheng Lingsu rushed ahead of him and said:

"Reciting the scriptures thousands of times, the master is very serious, but no outsiders have ever entered or left this valley. I don't know why the master entered the valley?"

Obviously, after learning about Duan Chao's intentions, Cheng Lingsu took the initiative to take the responsibility of continuing the communication.

Although both her and Duan Chao's purpose was to obtain information, Cheng Lingsu's method was undoubtedly more gentle and more disciplined than Duan Chao's.

"I'm looking for an old friend who lives in seclusion in Yanxuan Valley, and asked him to treat the child."

Shi Shufu also felt that Cheng Lingsu was easier to deal with than Duan Chao, so he decisively transferred the negotiation partner.As he spoke, he pointed to the little monk beside him, with a slightly weeping expression on his face.

Duan Chao looked on with cold eyes, Shi Shufu's expression didn't seem fake.

The little monk looked to be only about ten years old, not only thin and thin, but also pale, with a sickly face, giving the impression that a stronger wind could blow him away.

This is not the key. The most noticeable thing is that there is a faint blood stain in the center of his eyebrows.

For some reason, Duan Chao's first impression when he saw this bloodstain was that it was an eye, and just one glance gave him an eerie feeling.

This feeling did not make him flinch, but instead aroused his interest and made him observe more carefully.

Three eyes?interesting.Erlang God?Lord Ma?Tianjin rice?Or write Le Baojie?
While Duan Chao was looking at the little monk, the little monk was still watching Bing Xin. Suddenly he felt a chill on his forehead, and finally noticed Duan Chao's unscrupulous gaze. He quickly withdrew his gaze and hid behind Shi Shufu.

Hmph, feel guilty under my righteous eyes, I can tell you are not good people at a glance!
When Duan Chao saw the little monk's movements, he started to make up his mind again.

He didn't think about it, but how could a child not be afraid if he stared at him with the kind of eyes that seemed to be peeled and sliced ​​for research?

But no matter how you say it, only Bing Xin and her adoptive father are in this valley. Since the old monk can find this place, either his adoptive father is really skilled in medicine and can treat illnesses, or he has found the wrong place.

So, should I tell him the way in the valley?
At this moment of choice, both Cheng Lingsu and Bing Xin cast their questioning eyes on Duan Chao.

If Bing Xin was the only one, she would have said it without hesitation.

In fact, when Shi Shufu asked for the first time before, if Duan Chao hadn't interrupted her, she would have already told all the things that she didn't know if this was Yanxuan Valley, and that she lived here with her adoptive father since she was a child.

In her opinion, monks are compassionate, and this old monk came here to save people, so he must be a good person.

But now that Duan Chao and Cheng Lingsu are present, she subconsciously wants to rely on these two brothers and sisters as she has never dealt with people. Besides, Duan Chao took the initiative to take over the right to speak from the beginning, so she feels that there is no need to speak .

In fact, at this time, Chao had already basically determined that this valley was Yanxuan Valley. After a little thought, he said:
"Well, my brother and sister were planning to leave the valley, but they were blocked by the torrent. I am unable to catch them with my own strength. I see that the master's qinggong is outstanding, so how about I ask the master to send my two sisters to the other side of the torrent?"

He also didn't say whether he should tell Shi Shufu Yan Xuangu's road, anyway, he made the request first, no matter what, let's get the benefits first.

Shi Shufu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded. Seeing that he did not make any preparations, he jumped and sent Cheng Lingsu and Bing Xin to the opposite bank of the torrent at the same time.

Duan Chao followed closely and jumped to the other side of the torrent.

"The benefactor is so light." Shi Shufu praised with a smile.

Duan Chaoxu looked at him, "I'm not capable of jumping over with someone."

Being able to jump over such a wide torrent with two people at the same time, this old monk must be stronger than Jiang Tianxiong, Duan Chao can't beat it, probably only Kaili can do it.

Fortunately, the old monk didn't come to fight with them. Seeing that he really couldn't squeeze any more oil from him, Duan Chao told Shi Shufu about the road in Yanzhong.

Anyway, there is no one in the valley right now, so let him do whatever he wants, with his martial arts, even if he encounters some kind of beast trap, he can calmly deal with it.Even if he was really in danger, he wouldn't mind if he thought about it, and if he was a monk, he would lose all four things and see through life and death.

"Amitabha!"

Duan Chao spoke concisely but not briefly, and Shi Shufu couldn't help nodding his head. After Duan Chao finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Duan Chao, and asked the little monk to kneel and kowtow to Duan Chao too. .

"Kowtow can be avoided," Duan Chao said lazily, "It's just a matter of convenience."

Shi Shufu explained, "For the benefactor, it is just a small matter, but for this child, it is a matter of life and death. As the saying goes, 'The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring', this life-saving grace is a few heads down. so what?"

Bing Xin at the side didn't take it seriously when he heard what he said.

She said to herself that there was nothing in the valley now, and the old monk would probably get nothing in the end.

However, it was the first time in her life that she saw so many people today, and she was somewhat apprehensive, so she could only smile wryly.

Then the three of them said goodbye to Muro Shusuke and the little monk.

"Benefactor, can you tell the old monk your name? So that the old monk can recite sutras for the benefactor a thousand times."

Duan Chao was about to say no, but suddenly his heart moved and he smiled slightly:
"You don't change your name when you're traveling, and you don't change your surname when you're sitting. It's the same with water and soil."

"Shuitu? The name is fresh and refined..."

"Yeah, I was born with a lack of soil in the five elements, so my parents gave me this name."

"So that's how it is...Since that's the case, I will bid farewell to you, the benefactor of water and soil."

"No delivery."

When Murosuke left, Bing Xin asked in confusion, "Brother Duan Chao, why did you say your name is Shuitu?"
