"Although I can't go back here for the time being, if there is a head-on conflict, you don't have to worry too much. Your mother's realm has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and most people can't touch her. And Xiaoyao, your grandparents are still there. Xia Capital. Of course, I will inform them about this matter in case it is a secret attack. Xuan'er can indeed stay with me first and then return with me." Yang Ningxiu replied, and then he thought of something and turned his gaze to Yang Yu Xuan. "Xuan'er, did you not inform your mother and others about your departure from the mansion?"
"Uh..." Yang Yuxuan's eyes began to dodge, trying to avoid answering his father's question. Then he looked at Yang Yuyao and squeezed next to him. Yang Yuyao was startled by his move and hurriedly hid behind He Qianqing. Fortunately, the private room in this teahouse was spacious enough, otherwise the two brothers would have made the private room a mess by moving and hiding.
"Xuan'er, don't scare your brother!" Yang Ningxiu stood up and slipped Yang Yuxuan back. Yang Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief. Even though his mind knew that Yang Yuxuan was his younger brother in this world, his body still wanted to hide involuntarily. After all, this younger brother was too tall! If Yang Yuxuan was much shorter than him, Yang Yuyao wouldn't be so frightened. Although Yang Ningxiu took action in time to stop Yang Yuxuan's actions, his words sounded so strange.
"Father, Master and I will say goodbye first." After acknowledging each other and exchanging some information, Yang Yuyao decided to leave and continue to the next place. Although it was a bit late now, that place was quite close to here. , you can check it again before it gets completely dark.
"Ah, by the way, these are Xunlian, a communication tool I made for you." Yang Yuyao took out four packaged Xunlians from the space ring and handed them to Yang Ningxiu and the others. "There are instructions on how to activate it in the box. There is a guidance system in Xunlian for specific usage methods. You can consult at any time. In addition, this magic weapon is compatible with the communication of various communication magic tools including the jade slips of sound transmission. Well, the specific operation method is also You can find out through the guidance system.”
Yang Yuyao spoke faster and faster, and his voice trembled at the end. He didn't even wait for He Qianqing to call out the sword, and escaped directly. The last word he said had not yet finished, and all that was left was a gust of wind blowing through the hair of several people.
"Farewell." He Qianqing, who knew that his disciple had long wanted to escape, was a little bit dumbfounded, but he said he still said goodbye to Yang Yuyao's relatives very calmly before running after him. He was not worried about not being able to find Yang Yuyao, because Yang Yuyao informed him of the address he picked out before setting off. If you really can't catch up, just fly to the predetermined location.
However, Yang Yuyao actually couldn't fly that far. He Qianqing knew that as long as Yang Yuyao hid where the person he wanted to hide couldn't sense, he would most likely not be able to move forward. After all, this young man still doesn't like running around. Sure enough, just after leaving Dingfeng City, He Qianqing found Yang Yuyao hiding on a cloud. Suzaku, who was chasing after He Qianqing, hurriedly flew to Yang Yuyao's side to check his condition.
"Xiaoyao, does it make you feel uncomfortable to be friends with them?" He Qianqing looked down at the young man who buried his face in his arms, hugged Yang Yuyao's waist and asked in a low voice.
"No...I don't know...very weird, very scared, but also very happy." Yang Yuyao replied in a dull voice. He Qianqing hugged Yang Yuyao tighter, lowered his head and kissed his hair,
Not only Yang Yuyao felt at a loss, but He Qianqing was also troubled by this. Although he encouraged Yang Yuyao to try to accept these relatives out of consideration for Yang Yuyao's good. But Yang Yuyao's return to the family means that his opinions are no longer mandatory for Yang Yuyao.
Although, He Qianqing did not use his status as master to pressure Yang Yuyao into listening to him. But when Yang Yuyao only had him as his master, He Qianqing could actually make the final decision on Yang Yuyao's marriage. But now, the opinions of Yang Yuyao's parents are more important.
Because in a family of cultivation, monks who are connected by blood put their family first and obey the orders of the family head, parents and elders. This is the basis for maintaining the family. For the cultivation of their children, of course many families will hire other monks as their children's masters. These monks are like teachers in wealthy families. They are only responsible for teaching knowledge, but have no right to interfere in the lives of their disciples. If Yang Yuyao returns to the Yang family, He Qianqing's status will be similar to those of the masters who teach the children of the aristocratic family.
Perhaps the Yang family would give He Qianqing more respect and refer to his opinions more, but the premise is that they didn't know that He Qianqing and the eldest son of their family had another relationship besides master and apprentice. If it were known that He Qianqing had such an immoral incident with their children, I am afraid that the Yang family, and even the Xia royal family, would not accept or agree to continue such a relationship between the two of them. Thinking about how he would deal with Yang Yuyao's natal family in the future, He Qianqing certainly couldn't help but struggle.
"Master?" Yang Yuyao, who was held by He Qianqing and wouldn't let go, said in confusion.
"Xiao Yao, how can you and I never be separated?" He Qianqing murmured in Yang Yuyao's ear. However, when Yang Yuyao wanted to analyze rationally, He Qianqing reached out and covered Yang Yuyao's mouth. "There is no need to answer this question." He Qianqing looked at the young man's bright and beautiful eyes and said with a smile.
He Qianqing pulled Yang Yuyao onto his flying sword and took him to where they were going. Of course he knew that Yang Yuyao could fly by himself and would have no problem keeping up with him. But He Qianqing just wanted to bring them closer. Yang Yuyao took He Qianqing's feelings into consideration and did not insist on refusing to save face.
"Master, tell me, do you need me to mention the realm of suppression again, to the Nascent Soul stage?" Yang Yuyao, who still suppressed his realm to the Golden Core realm, asked in a low voice.
"If Xiaoyao you just want to keep others from thinking you are too weird, then you don't have to do this." He Qianqing replied, "After all, Xiaoyao, you suppress your realm to prevent others who don't know your true realm from seeing you as a weirdo. Alien, isn't it? At your age, the Golden Core Stage is already rare enough. The Nascent Soul Stage will only bring you unnecessary attention. I think you will definitely think of this, Xiaoyao, so why are you asking me? ?”
"I did think about this part, but I still can't help but wonder if the Nascent Soul stage is more intimidating." Yang Yuyao replied distressedly. He knew that as long as he didn't cover his face, he was doomed to not be noticed. But when people meet high-level monks, most of them will lower their heads and dare not look directly. Therefore, Yang Yuyao would wonder if he could use the oppressive feeling brought by the realm itself to eliminate some of the people who stared at him if he advanced to a higher realm.
"But it's probably useless..." Yang Yuyao rejected his own idea.
One of the locations selected by Yang Yuyao is only four hundred miles away from Dingfeng City. This distance is not close for mortals, but for monks who can fly, it is a very short distance. Although it took a lot of time to meet Yang Yuxuan and then to meet Yang Ningxiu and others, the speed on the road was very fast, so it was only slightly dark when Yang Yuyao and the others arrived at that location. With this light intensity, mortals can still see things, and as monks, they will not be troubled by lack of light.
But this time Yang Yuyao didn't even go down to check. He could tell from the surrounding plants that this place was not suitable for building large buildings. However, the terrain map generated from Xunlian cannot be seen, which is why he had to go to the field to take a look.
"The place just now should have been a swamp in the past." He Qianqing agreed with Yang Yuyao's judgment and said, "If I hadn't come here, I would have almost forgotten that there are many such swamps in this area."
"No wonder there are no residents in such a large area around here." Yang Yuyao said understandingly. Swamps cannot be effectively displayed in Xunlian's automatically generated maps for the time being. For example, the swamp that Yang Yuyao passed by in Wei Wu State will be displayed as a lake that is not very deep but has a large area in Xunlian. However, the problem with swamps is that they take many forms. The lake-like one is one kind of swamp, and the one in this area is another, more confusing, swamp.
Looking down from the air at the area selected by Yang Yuyao and its surroundings, what you see seems to be a large lawn covered with various plants, but all of them are plants that love moisture. Revealing its true identity . This lawn is different from the one where Yang Yuyao met Yang Yuxuan. People can stand firmly on it.
Not so here. The soil covered with plants in this area is like a water-saturated sponge. If a person steps on it, a big hole will be formed, and then water will seep out of the hole. This is true not only for humans but also for larger animals. If someone accidentally enters it, they will probably be frightened by the sudden sinking of the ground, and will sink deeper and deeper while struggling wildly, and finally die here.
Although the soil in the area Yang Yuyao originally selected through Xunlian was relatively dry, it would not sink when he stepped on it. But since it was once such a place, and it is surrounded by dangerous areas, it is enough to say that the soil deep inside is still extremely moist and soft. If you want to build a house here, laying a foundation is too difficult. Even if they, as monks, have a way to solve the problem of stabilizing the house, there is no need to waste this unjust money unless it is a last resort.
After seeing this place and decisively kicking it out of their consideration, they began to turn back to find Zhu Molan and the others. With the help of location on Xunlian, they easily found the location where they chose to spend the night. It is on the outskirts of a town called Huangmei Town. They placed the portable wooden house that Yang Yuyao had given them in advance here.
"Why did you choose to be here instead of going directly into the town?" Yang Yuyao jumped off He Qianqing's flying sword, avoiding the smoke floating towards him, and asked curiously. He felt that Zhu Molan would not give up staying in an inn just to save money. Although his portable wooden house is nice, he still has to clean it and cook the food himself. It is clearly more worthwhile to leave these tasks to others, pay a fee, and save time for practice.
"We have been to the town and purchased some ingredients. We have also visited the inns in the town. To be honest, the conditions are much worse than your wooden house." Zhu Molan replied. "Although this town cannot be seen from the outside, you can feel the atmosphere of decay when you go there. Many things inside are very old and have not been repaired, and most of the people in the town are old people."
"This town is called Huangmei Town?" He Qianqing confirmed.
"Exactly, does Fellow Daoist He know what happened here?" Zhu Molan asked curiously.
"Well, there used to be a big river next to this place, which was an important waterway for the Xia Kingdom to go south. However, decades ago, the river changed its course and left this place. Most of the young and middle-aged people in this town also followed the river to establish another place. In a new Huangmei Town, old people who are unwilling to leave stay here."
"I see. It's no wonder that you can see how prosperous this town once was. The old building facilities are just the wear and tear of being used for too long. Although the town is lifeless, there are no traces of the catastrophe. I haven't seen it for too long. I went back to Xia Kingdom to have a look." Zhu Molan smiled and said nostalgically.
"Where are you from the Xia Kingdom, fellow Daoist Zhu?" He Qianqing asked. People often say that the Xia Kingdom produces beauties, and everyone knows that Yang Yuyao and Duan Aoran, one of the Four Fairy Fairies, both came from the Xia Kingdom. Unexpectedly, Zhu Molan, another of the Four Fairy Fairies, was also from the Xia Kingdom.
"The place where I was born was called Yunxi at that time." Zhu Molan replied with a nostalgic smile.
"Yunxi? Now it's called the Epidemic-free City." He Qianqing thought for a moment and then remembered where the place Zhu Molan said was.
"Epidemic-free city?" Yang Yuyao, who was assigned a piece of roasted yam, took two puffs of the still-hot yam and then asked curiously, "What two words are they?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should be the word "free" for "no disease, right?" Zhu Molan asked with a smile.
"Exactly." He Qianqing nodded.
"Why did the place have to be changed to such a name? Has there ever been a serious epidemic there?" You Shuangjiang couldn't help but become curious.
"Where is that place?" Li Fengzhi, who was squatting by the fire, put down the fire stick in his hand and raised his head to look at them.
"It is in the southeast of Xia Kingdom. Over the past hundreds of years, extremely serious epidemics have occurred there many times, so the name was changed." He Qianqing replied.
The prosperity of the Xia Kingdom and the large number of monks in the court allowed every outbreak there to be controlled quickly and not spread to the whole country. However, because it is difficult to effectively judge the harm of an epidemic in its early stages, at least one town has always fallen by the time the court receives the news and can respond.
Therefore, whenever an epidemic occurs, keen people will choose to flee as early as possible to avoid the disease. But if other disasters occur on the way to escape, wives and children are still often separated, and families and families are destroyed. The people live in an unstable environment, which makes it difficult for that area to prosper. However, the area has fertile water and grass, making it an excellent land of fish and rice. In addition, the repeated epidemics made the Xia Kingdom Chaotang very upset, so they changed its name to this.
"Yes, when I was young, my family ran away because of a great epidemic. Unexpectedly, we encountered robbers again during the escape, so we were separated from our family. I wandered alone for a long time, until I wandered into the jurisdiction of Jade Toad Palace. After learning that he could practice cultivation, thinking that he finally had a place to stay, he entered the Jade Toad Palace." Zhu Molan smiled and said.
For monks with long lifespans, the Yunxi plague in the past was shockingly frequent. However, for mortals, many people may only encounter it once in their lives. After all, the land there is too fertile and the climate is warm and comfortable. Therefore, people are always attracted to settle there again and again. Even if they know that there was a great epidemic not long ago and the mortals with short life spans will only think with luck, maybe they may not encounter it. Such a good thing Where to find land?
However, the epidemic has broken people's luck again and again, forcing similar escapes to occur again and again. Until it was renamed the Epidemic-Free City, at least for more than a hundred years, there has never been a large-scale epidemic here.
