Mortals ask the immortals

"When I was young, I was ignorant and helpless!" Duan Qing sighed, reminiscing.

Calculating the time, he was less than sixteen when he left Xiao'an City. He stayed in Jinxuan Sect for more than four years and wasted more than two years in the Bottle Sea. In the blink of an eye, nearly seven years have passed. Now he is over twenty-two years old and no longer the boy he was before.

From an ignorant boy in Xiao'an City, after six or seven years, he has become a late-stage Transformation cultivator. It is really difficult to describe the various sorrows and pains in it.

"Ambition is not about age. If you are willing to work hard, Brother Duan will definitely achieve something in the future." Seeing Duan Qing's strange expression, the old man Qiao Shan comforted him at the right time.

Duan Qing just smiled, but did not speak.

The old man Qiao Shan seemed to have a lot of prestige in the village. Everyone he met after entering the village took the initiative to greet him first.

Not long after, Qiao Shan brought Duan Qing to his home, which was similar to other houses in the village, with mud walls, thatched roofs, and a small fenced courtyard, very simple.

"My house is simple, I'm sorry to make you laugh!" The old man Qiao Shan said a little embarrassedly.

"No, I'm very grateful that Mr. Qiao is willing to take me in!" Duan Qing said calmly. Now the quality of the house is almost meaningless to him, even if he sleeps in the wild, it's no big deal.

"Old man, who is talking?" At this time, an old voice came from the mud house, and then an old woman walked out of the mud house.

"This is Brother Duan from the south, and he is also going to Shangyue City to become a disciple." The old man Qiao Shan explained.

"Become a disciple! That's just the same as the old man and Xiaochuan!" The old woman muttered.

Then she very enthusiastically invited Duan Qing into the house. "Come, come, come in and sit down. We haven't had any guests in our house for a long time!"

It seemed that there were only the old man Qiao Shan and his wife in his house. After letting Duan Qing in, the two ran to the kitchen to make breakfast, leaving Duan Qing alone in the mud house.

Not long after, Duan Qing felt that someone was walking towards the old man Qiao's house, and his face immediately looked a little strange.

It can't be such a coincidence!

"Grandpa, where did the donkey come from!" A slightly childish voice sounded outside the house.

Duan Qing smiled bitterly. He had already seen the person who spoke at this time. It was the cowherd boy he had seen by the stream in the mountains before.

The cowherd boy skillfully led the green cow to the cowshed and tied the rope. He walked to the stupid kid who was sleeping in the yard and looked at the stupid kid curiously.

"That's Brother Duan's donkey!" The old man Qiao Shan walked out of the kitchen and explained to the cowherd boy. He looked at the cowherd boy with doting eyes.

"Brother Duan!" The cowherd boy muttered softly, then thought of something and hurriedly said to Qiao Shan: "By the way, Grandpa, I just met a ghost in the mountains!"

"Xiaochuan, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Shan gently scolded. This area of ​​a thousand miles is the territory of Qianlin Sect, how could there be any ghosts!

"Really, I tell you, Grandpa..." The cowherd boy wanted to argue, but he saw Duan Qing walking out of the earth house and was stunned for a moment.

Then he seemed to recognize Duan Qing, who was the "ghost" he had seen before, and stuttered: "You...you you!"

"Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Shan asked in confusion.

"He...he, he is the "ghost" I saw!" Xiaochuan was so scared that he trembled.

"This is Brother Duan, who is going to Shangyue City to become a disciple just like you." Qiao Shan said helplessly. He had roughly guessed what was going on. His grandson was good in everything except that he was too timid!

After Qiao Shan's explanation, the cowherd Qiao Chuan finally believed that Duan Qing was not a ghost, and his expression returned to normal.

"Brother Duan, are you really going to become a disciple?" After Qiao Chuan let down his guard, his youthful nature was exposed, and he pestered Duan Qing to ask questions.

"Yes, I heard from Mr. Qiao that you are also going to become a disciple, right?" Duan Qing said warmly.

"Well..." Qiao Chuan glanced at his grandfather Qiao Shan beside him, and hesitated to speak.

It's time to eat breakfast!

...

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the next morning. The old man Qiao Shan got up early, took Duan Qing and Qiao Chuan, and went to the village to pick up another girl who was about the same age as Qiao Shan. They went all the way north out of the village and walked towards the Shangyue City he mentioned.

"Shangyue City is about fifty or sixty miles away from our Qiaoshan Village, and it will probably be in the afternoon." Qiao Shan smiled at Duan Qing as he walked, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Well, I have never been to Shangyue City!" Duan Qing had a warm face, and he was telling the truth.

"Brother Duan, can I ride your donkey?" At this time, Qiao Chuan beside him looked at Duan Qing hopefully.

Duan Qing glanced at the idiot who was shaking his head behind everyone, and said jokingly: "That depends on whether you are capable enough~ That guy is very stubborn!"

Qiao Chuan was a little unconvinced. "Humph, I can even ride the green cow at home, so I can definitely ride your donkey!

"Then you can try it!" Duan Qing made a gesture of invitation.

Qiao Shan smiled helplessly and let Qiao Chuan make trouble.

Qiao Chuan immediately turned around and walked towards the idiot.

"Hello, little donkey, please let me ride it!" Qiao Chuan said softly while trying to reach out to the idiot.

"Ah woo ah woo! "The idiot yelled twice in alertness, and immediately stepped around Qiao Chuan.

Seeing that the idiot completely ignored him, Qiao Chuan was quite angry, and directly grabbed the idiot, trying to force his way onto the donkey.

He grabbed the mane on the idiot's neck, trying to restrain the idiot first, but he underestimated the idiot's strength and was dragged down by the idiot, falling flat on his face!

"Xiao Chuan, are you okay?" The old man Qiao Shan asked nervously, and was about to step forward to help Qiao Chuan.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Chuan got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, with a confused look on his face. He had clearly fallen heavily just now, but for some reason he was fine!

Duan Qing smiled knowingly. He knew the character of the fool, so he had been keeping an eye on him. Just when Qiao Chuan was knocked down by the fool, he secretly supported Qiao Chuan with the control technique, which played a buffering role.

"Brother Duan, you are such a bad-tempered donkey!" Qiao Chuan complained, looking at Duan Qing with some resentment.

"The fool is just like a human, with joys and sorrows. It doesn't like you, so it naturally doesn't want you to ride it!" Duan Qing said with a smile as he walked.

"Then Brother Duan, tell the fool to let me ride it!" Qiao Shan was relentless, chasing Duan Qing and begging, as if he had to ride the fool.

"Although I can force the fool to let you ride it, it will be unhappy, just like someone forcing you to do something you don't want to do, you will also be very resistant, right?" Duan Qing said with a hint of meaning.

Qiao Chuan was silent immediately, looking quite disappointed. A child of his age couldn't hide anything in his heart, and his emotions were almost all expressed on his face.

"Then...if someone asked Brother Duan to do something he didn't like, what would Brother Duan do?" Qiao Chuan was silent for a long time and tried to ask.
