The corner of the magic path was dug by me [Rebirth]

"Thank you brother!"

After the last little guy ran away holding the candied haws, Lu Ningchu patted his knees and stood up, pulled a candied haws from the grass target and handed it to Long Yuan.

"Brother, do you eat candied haws?"

Although it was not the first time I heard it, the "brother" still made Long Yuan's ears tingle.

He covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly, and then looked at Lu Ningchu's eyes that seemed to be painted golden in the sunset.

The identities of the demon king and the traitor are not suitable for walking around in an aboveboard manner, so they naturally changed their masks. The identity of "Lu Yi" has also been exposed. The face Lu Ningchu uses now is more upright and handsome than "Lu Yi", but it is far from the dazzling beauty of his real face.

However, even with such a much inferior face, just looking at Lu Ningchu's extremely beautiful eyes is enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Brother, why are you so lazy?" Lu Ningchu put the candied haws on Long Yuan's lips in a dazed effort.

The sweet taste penetrated into the gap between the lips and squeezed through the teeth. I don't know whether it was greed or the person in front of me smiled too sweetly. Long Yuan subconsciously pursed his lower lip before taking the candied haws from Lu Ningchu's hand.

Lu Ningchu also pulled out one for himself, licking it while leaning against the wall, watching the children playing in the yard.

These children are orphans.

The original plan was to follow the roster of vagrants and newborns registered in Qianhezhai, and search for them one by one to see if they could recognize Xiao Hui directly.But after putting it into practice, it turned out that this is not realistic at all.

The younger the child, the more he looks different every day. Even when facing the portrait of fennel that Qian Hezhai drew based on his description, Lu Ningchu really couldn't tell which child would grow up to look like the portrait.

And newborn babies, in Lu Ning's eyes at first glance, are like small doughs, at most the difference between this thin spot and that fat spot, or that white spot and this black spot.

Long Yuan is also not good at it, after all, like Lu Ningchu, he has never raised a child.

The two men reluctantly saw half of the children in Luo'an City, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt dizzy. In the end, they had no choice but to admit defeat and give up the method of admitting each one.

Lu Ningchu didn't figure out other useful clues, so he could only wait, and when a natural disaster happened nearby, he immediately rushed to find someone.

But such things as natural disasters do not mean that they happen, and they are often sudden and unpredictable.The two walked around the nearby towns, except that they heard that there were evil spirits in the mountains, and occasionally people disappeared, but they didn't see any signs of disaster.

Some monks have been invited to get rid of the evil spirits in the mountain, there is no need for Long Yuan and Lu Ningchu to meddle in their own business.

However, these towns are surrounded by vast mountains and forests, and it is impossible to eliminate all the evil spirits in the mountains. Moreover, even if ordinary people enter the mountains and forests, even if they do not encounter evil spirits, they will inevitably die due to mistakes or wild beasts.Therefore, the two still distributed a lot of talisman papers.

After distributing the talisman papers and having nothing to do, Lu Ningchu took Long Yuan to resettle the orphans everywhere.

Although such an intervention may directly affect Xiao Hui's fate, and even make her no longer called Xiao Hui, Lu Ningchu would rather raise these children than let Xiao Hui wait for him in misery. Recognize fennel.

The basic necessities of the orphans are easy to solve, after all, no matter whether it is Lu Ningchu or Longyuan, they are not short of money now.The only more troublesome thing is that there must be reliable people to look after these little guys, manage them to learn to support themselves, and prevent their house money from being taken over by others after they leave.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult to solve, Longyuan has arranged human-made talismans to distribute to the common people everywhere, entrusting the children to them to take care of them.

According to Qianhezhai's analysis, Luo'an City was at least the last place where Xiao An stayed before entering the mountain.After Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan settled the children elsewhere, they returned to Luo'an City. While waiting, they personally took care of the orphans here.

Lu Ningchu watched the children play.

Long Yuan was looking at him.

The sunset glow was brilliant, illuminating the sugar coating of the candied haws more and more brightly, and so was Lu Ningchu's lips, which were stained with sugar residue.

This made it hard for Long Yuan not to think of his first kiss with Lu Ningchu.

Lu Ningchu seemed to have finally noticed his gaze, and suddenly turned his head: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Without waiting for Long Yuan's answer, he bent his eyes, approached Long Yuan, and said with a smile, "Want to kiss me?"

After speaking, he slowly licked the candied haws.

Long Yuan took a breath, looked away and said, "Don't mess around."

"Hey." Lu Ningchu was even more proud, and used his elbow to turn him, teasing him in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll kiss you when you go back, and you can kiss him any way you want."

Long Yuan could only stare at him without any deterrent force.

They don't live with these little guys.It is impossible for them to take care of these children for a long time. If these children are overly dependent on them, that is not a good thing.There are special caregivers who live with these children, and they live in an inn.

The two of them didn't stay with these children all day long. Most of the time, they walked through the streets and alleys of Luo'an City, paying attention to those poorer families with young children.Xiao Anui may not be among those orphans. In her previous life, she may have become an orphan because of a sudden change in her family, or after encountering a natural disaster.

However, this way of finding is tantamount to a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, unless a blind cat meets a dead mouse, just in time for a family to change their daughter's name to Xiao Hui.

"Alas..." Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Ningchu was still a little frustrated that there were no new clues.

Long Yuan has no other choice but to comfort him: "We will always find it."

Hearing the consolation, the person lying on the table immediately hugged him, "But I don't want our daughter to suffer!"

Although Lu Ningchu's obsession with this child named "Xiao Hui" is a bit strange, and the origin of the portrait is full of loopholes, but Long Yuan is not too entangled in the reason, as long as it is what Lu Ningchu wants to do, he is willing to follow him.

He patted Lu Ningchu on the back and said, "If you can't find her yet, it means that she hasn't endured hardship yet."

This made sense, Lu Ningchu felt less depressed, but still muttered: "The sooner you find it, the better..."

He himself is an orphan, although he has never lacked the care of his teacher since he was a child, but it is always different without parents.What's more, according to the current situation, Xiao An probably had parents before, and lost them again, which will only make her more painful.

To say that Xiao An is going to be her daughter is because Xiao An is already an orphan. If her parents are still there, then naturally it would be better for her to continue living with her own parents.

Long Yuan understood what he meant, but didn't say anything, just hugged him: "There is me."

Not having parents is always the regret in Lu Ningchu's heart.

Lu Ning started humming, acting like a baby even more.

He didn't lie down to the window to watch the excitement until there was an exclamation from outside the window.

Long Yuan was not interested, but Lu Ningchu beckoned to him.

"Come quickly! It's the people from the Heavenly Palace invited by the Lord of Luo'an City who are back!"

There are also evil spirits in Luo'an City.

The city of Luo'an is built on the mountain. Many people make a living by going up the mountain to cut firewood, hunt and gather medicine. There will inevitably be dangers on the mountain. In the past, there were not a few people who could not return after going up the mountain.Therefore, when hunters and woodcutters who went deep into the mountains to make a living disappeared one after another, no one paid attention to them.

It wasn't until later that even the pilgrims who went to the temples on the mountain to offer incense and worship Buddha began to disappear, and no one was alive or dead. Only then did people in Luo'an realize that there might be monsters or evil spirits that devoured people in the mountains.

Logically speaking, the city lord of Luo'an City should have invited monks to eliminate evil spirits at this time, but the current city lord of Luo'an City didn't know whether he had a brain problem or some other reason, so he only posted an announcement to let the city People who don't want to go up the mountain just let it go.

However, after the city lord let go, his only son suddenly led a group of people up the mountain.When the city lord's son set off, he was dressed in military uniform and looked majestic, but he was a mortal after all, and of course he disappeared after going up the mountain.

Now the Lord of Luo'an City was really anxious, and quickly invited monks to go up the mountain to find someone.But the things in the mountains were unexpectedly powerful. The city lord of Luo'an invited several batches of monks but never returned. In the end, he had to spend a lot of money to invite people from the Supreme Heavenly Palace.

The people from the Taishang Tiangong set out to enter the mountain this morning. Before leaving, they made a guarantee with the city lord of Luo'an City, saying that they would definitely solve the harmful things in the mountain. The monks are also broken, and the city lord has long since given up hope, and the monks invited to the Supreme Heavenly Palace are just to avenge their only son.

But when they didn't want to come back, they were all in a panic, and their clothes were stained red with blood.When they left, they also took a few guards from the City Lord's Mansion with them. Right now, these guards were nowhere to be seen, and they were probably all folded in the mountains.

The restaurant where Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan are located is located on the street leading directly to the city gate, and the private room they chose is the best location, and you can see the direction of the city gate when you look out the window.

The guards guarding the gate of the city quickly found a carriage, and after helping the monks up, they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although several batches of monks had been killed before, what they heard was not as good as what they saw with their own eyes. After seeing the miserable conditions of these monks, the people in the city seemed to be even more panicked, and they all returned home and closed their doors and windows.

The originally bustling market quickly became desolate.

Lu Ningchu tapped the window sill with his finger: "Two golden core stages, four foundation-building stages, all of them have been injured like this after this battle. Do the things in this mountain have the cultivation of Nascent Soul, or are there a lot of them?"

He tugged at Long Yuan's sleeve and shook it: "Brother Long, shall we go into the mountain to have a look?"

Although the monks from the Supreme Heavenly Palace invited by the Lord of Luo'an City were from Chiyangtian, it was after all a matter for the people of the city.

Of course, Long Yuan would not refuse to solve problems for the common people.

However, after the two entered the mountain, they couldn't find any monsters or evil spirits that met the requirements.

I searched again carefully, but still found nothing.Lu Ningchu frowned deeply, and Long Yuan also looked solemn.

One of them is out of the body, and the other is distracted. No matter how hidden the troublesome thing in the mountain is, they shouldn't be able to feel it at all.

"Could it be that the thing in this mountain is Li Yunlang?" After thinking about it, it seems that the only one who can completely hide from the perception of the two of them is Li Yunlang who is possessed by the old monster.

But without waiting for Long Yuan's answer, Lu Ningchu vetoed it again: "No, if it's Li Yunlang, those monks from the Supreme Heavenly Palace can't go back alive."

"Similarly, it's impossible for this thing's cultivation to surpass Nascent Soul, but if it surpasses Nascent Soul, those monks will not be able to survive."
