Disciple's rebellion

Li Phosphate first handed the roasted spirit beast meat to Xie Meng, and then to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi refused to be polite to Li Phosph, snatched the leg of the spirit beast from his hand, took out a small dagger from the spirit bag, and handed it to Ning Jie.

Because of Wang Yi's confession, although Ning Jie couldn't fully trust Wang Yi, he still had a little bit of trust.Ning Jie took it and said, "Thank you." Immediately, he used his spiritual power to sterilize the dagger, and then began to cut and eat.

Wang Yi laughed proudly: "We are all brothers, why are you being polite!"

Li Phosphate gave Wang Yi a blank look when he heard the words.

After the meal, after receiving Wang Yi's wink, Xie Meng used the excuse of looking for fruit to pair up with Ning Jie, leaving Li Phus and Wang Yi alone space.

Seeing Xie Meng and Ning Jie as a couple, Li Phus frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that Wang Yi had something to say to him, so he reluctantly agreed.

Li Phus stepped on a dead branch and said, "If you fart, let it go."

Wang Yi snapped open the paper fan, covered half of his face with the fan, and said in disgust, "Tsk, jealous men are so rude."

Li Phos also took a look at Wang Yi, straightened up and looked at Wang Yi, and said, "You know, I'm not a person who doesn't care about what's important."

Wang Yi closed his fan, tapped Li Phosph's shoulder lightly with the fan, and said, "You know, I've never seen anyone pass by before."

This is not true.

It is recognized that Wang Yi has good eyesight. As long as he has met a person, before the other party speaks, he can judge the character of the person by the name of the face.

At first Li Phus didn't believe it, but later he felt that Wang Yi did have the potential to be a magician.

For example, before the Immortal Gate Conference, Wang Yi just glanced at Li Du in the Shuishen faction, and concluded that Li Du would be in trouble sooner or later.

At that time, Li Phus sneered at him, but Li Du didn't know Ning Jie and Mi Chen, and used his status to oppress others, which caused a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Phosph just snorted coldly and said, "Then you might miss it this time."

Wang Yi shook his head: "Where it is Wang, I will miss it, it is clearly Brother Li, you are on the edge of your horn."

Wang Yi sighed, and continued: "Brother Li, think about it. After ten years, how has the head of the Liangling faction treated Ning Jie, and how has Weiwu Immortal Venerable treated Ning Jie? If he really colluded with the demons, you It is said that if the Demon Race does not give up the position of the Demon Lord to Ning Jie, do you think that Ning Jie might give up the fame and fortune brought by the disciple of the Weiwu Immortal Venerable for the mere post of Dharma Protector?"

Li Phosphorus is silent.

There is no doubt that Ning Jie is a human race.As a human race, he must not be suitable for the devil world.If he really colludes with the Demon Realm, and his conditions are comparable to those of the only disciple under the Weiwu Immortal Venerable of the Liangling Sect, the leader of the immortal sect in the human world, the Demon Realm may not be able to accept Ning Rank.

but……

Wang Yi saw Li Lin's thoughts and said, "Jianglou, the cultivation world is not as good as the fairy world. There are desires, darkness, and emotions here. Sometimes we can't fall into the emotions created by others. For example, Ning Jie, we can't Whoever is the disciple of Immortal Venerable Wei Wu, who has a miserable life experience, may be the one deliberately designed by the demons to overthrow the realm of comprehension." Wang Yi took a deep look at Li Phosphorus, and said: "The most important thing to avoid in battle is to be preconceived. I am most afraid of giving up eating because of choking."

Li Phosphate slowly tightened his fingers.

That's right, there is too much filth in the world of comprehension, and too much darkness that we are accustomed to.But he couldn't deny his father's words, the closer to the power center, the easier it is to destroy the entire cultivation world.

——Didn't that person almost destroy the entire Liangling faction back then?

But... Will Ning Jie become that person?

Li Po fixedly took a look at Wang Yi, and said, "You're right, I'm a little bit choked up."

Wang Yi complained in his heart: Indeed, you have drilled too deep.

Li Phus took a deep breath, slowly loosened his fingers and said, "You know, I care about the human world, the Shuishen faction, and Ah Rong." He turned to look at Wang Yi, and said, "Yan letter, so I have to be more cautious. At least, give me some time to investigate."

After saying that, Li Phosph looked up at the wild apricot tree in front of him, picked out the red and soft ones, and put them into the spiritual bag with his spiritual power.

After Li Phosphorus and Wang Yi picked some, Xie Meng and Ning Jie also came from the depths of the forest, holding some nearly ripe but extremely hard apricot fruits in their hands.

Seeing this, Wang Yi said, "How can the green fruits you picked be sold."

Before Ning Jie could reply, Xie Meng said in surprise, "You really think we're going to sell apricots?"

Wang Yi didn't speak, he glanced at the apricot fruit in Xie Yun's arms, and there was such an expression on his face - otherwise!

Li Phus understood what Xie Meng meant, and said, "You mean we can't get any news at all."

Ning Jie said: "Shangdang horse ghost is an excellent stepping stone."

Sure enough, at the market, someone came to see Xingguo Wang Yi and asked about Shangdang Mountain. The visitor was horrified on the spot, said "I don't know" with a blue face, and ran away immediately.

Seeing that the faces of the stall owners around him changed, Wang Yi sighed and packed up the apricots in front of him, and went back to the back alley to find Ning Jie and the others.

Wang Yi took a bite of the apricot fruit depressedly, and said, "Obviously the storyteller narrates him as a strange story, why do they avoid it when they ask?"

Li Phus turned around and looked at Ning Jie, with a slight scrutiny in his eyes, and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, I think you must know something about this matter."

Ning Jie took out the apricot fruit from the spirit bag, and instead of answering Li Phus' question, he said, "Come with me somewhere."

Ning Jie led Li Phus and the others to Mount Wu, which is located in the east of Pingwu.Wushan is desolate, and the surrounding area is the same as Shangdang, no one lives in it.

But unlike the Shangdang road, the mountain road here seems to have been trimmed, flat and easy to walk.

Ning Jie stopped Li Phos who was walking forward and said, "Go directly to the top of the mountain."

Li Phus stopped in his tracks, and cast his scrutinizing eyes on Ning Jie again, but this time, he didn't say anything. He drew his sword and prepared to climb the mountain.

After all, the four of them are immortal cultivators. If there is something to observe carefully on the way up the mountain, it is not impossible to go up the mountain on foot.But if the target is directly on the top of the mountain, it would be really stupid to climb the mountain road without using a good Yujian.

Ning Jie also knew this truth, so he walked a few steps towards Wang Yi and said, "Brother Wang, please take me with you."

Wang Yi was not surprised, he summoned the spirit sword to widen and let Ning Jie stand on it.

When they reached the top of the mountain, a slightly crude house with ventilated walls appeared in front of the four of them.

Once at the top of the mountain, Ning Jie took out handkerchiefs and handed them to Wang Yi and the others.Wang Yi put on the handkerchief and subconsciously wanted to go in.Ning Jie pulled Wang Yi into the grass.

Without waiting for Xie Rong to react, Li Phus dragged her and buried her in the grass.

Just as Wang Yi was about to speak, a wave of mourning music reached the ears of the four of them.

Xie Meng heard this, and slowly squatted down, hiding his face behind the bushes.

After Li Phus lowered his head, he focused his gaze on Ning Jie again, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem to be my illusion, you are very familiar with Ping Wu."

After leaving Shangdang Mountain, Li Phus and the others were afraid that Ning Jie would have an accident alone, so they slowly followed behind Ning Jie.I thought he would go to the restaurant, but I didn't expect him to enter a cave with ease.

Li Phus didn't realize it at first, but thought that Ning Jie was lucky and found it by chance.

But when he entered the city, he walked into the street market with the same familiarity, and also took them to Wushan, as if he had seen it before, knowing that there would be mourning music soon, and someone would come to this house on Wushan.

All these things show that Ning Jie is very familiar with Pingwu.

But this time Ning Jie came to Pingwu, it can be known that it was because of the Shangdang horse ghost, but what about before?

You know, Pingwu had been calm before.How could Ning Jie stay in such a place forever.

It's very strange.

Ning Jie only had one word for his answer - "Hush."

As the mourning music got closer, the mourning pair also appeared in front of Ning Jie and the others.

The leader stopped in front of this small house, and immediately took out his whip and slammed it on the ground a few times before standing aside, waving his hands to make way for the people behind him.

In an instant, two men in mourning clothes carried the shelves and walked in.

Immediately afterwards, another wave of mourning resounded through the sky.

About the time for a cup of tea, the two people who went in came out.

Seeing the people coming out, the leader raised his hand slightly, and the mourning music resounding through the sky stopped.Immediately, a group of people began to prepare to go down the mountain.

Seeing this, Wang Yi turned his head to look at Ning Jie, and asked with his eyes: Do you want to go out now?

Ning Jie shook his head, motioning to wait quietly.

The four continued to squat in the grass.

After a while, three or four people walked to this simple house together.After these three or four people walked around the house, they put a bean sprouts pole and a knife in front of the door.

Ning Jie raised his head slightly to observe their movements carefully.

When these people bent over to reveal the hem of their clothes, Ning Jie's eyes dimmed a little.

Wang Yi observed for a while, but didn't see anything strange, so he looked at Ning Jie, but he didn't expect to see Ning Jie's mind wandering, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Yi stretched out his hand and gently tugged Ning Jie's sleeve.

Ning Jie withdrew his thoughts and saw the question in Wang Yi's eyes. He shook his head and signaled to wait a little longer.

When they were about to go down the mountain, Ning Jie nodded to signal Wang Yi and the others to go out from the side path.

Ning Jie put an apricot fruit in the arms of one of them, and said, "Brother, please trouble me. Recently, I heard that demons and ghosts are prevalent in the city, so why are you so relieved to put the corpse here?"

While laying out the apricot fruit, Ning Jie looked down and looked at the hem with raw edges again.

Seeing that it was an apricot fruit, the man had no choice but to answer.After hearing what Ning Jie said, the impatience on his face subsided a bit, and he asked in astonishment, "Have you ever lived in our Pingwu?"

Ning Jie nodded slightly: "I've lived here for a few days."

"No wonder." The man said, "Then what do you want to ask?"

Ning Jie said: "I want to ask about the funeral customs here."

The surprise on Bao Xing's face surfaced again when he heard the words, "You all know that we are going to park the coffin on Mount Wu, so why do you still ask me?"

Ning Jie replied, "It's just that I lived in Pingwu."

Baoxing didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, so according to Ning Jie's request, he told Ning Jie and the others about Pingwu's funeral customs.

In fact, the funeral in Pingwu is roughly the same as that in other counties.

There are two differences, one is in the attributes.

Generally, it is a ritual of 纩. When the dying is on the verge of death, the body of the dying person is swabbed and replaced with new clothes, and new cotton is placed above the nose so that the dying person will die.

Pingwu naturally has this too, but the difference is that after the dying person dies, the neighbor will take a special dagger and cut a hole in each of the limbs of the deceased, then take out the blood in a bowl and pour it on the bean just now. On the pole.

After cutting the blood, knead the new cotton placed in front of the nose and stuff it into the mouth and nose.If the family is rich, they will replace it with round jade and stuff it into the mouth of the deceased instead of new cotton.

It can be regarded as a disguised form of classifying Fanhan as a genus.

The other is what Ning Jie and the others just saw.The coffin was not kept at home, but was carried on the top of the mountain. After the neighbors inspected the place where the coffin was parked, they put the bean sprouts and the dagger at the door.

Then if you meet someone who gives you apricots on the road, you must answer all your questions.

When Li Phus heard this, he frowned and said, "Why do you put new cotton in your mouth and nose?"

Bao Xing was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is a custom, how do I know why?"

Xie Mo asked, "Then why did you cut the blood, put the beanstalk and the dagger?"

Bao Xing: "...I know this is our local custom."

Wang Yi then asked again: "Why do you always answer every question when you meet someone who gives you apricots?"

As soon as Bao Xing opened his mouth, Wang Yi sighed and said, "I know, this is the custom, and you don't know either."

What is a custom?

Customs, why do so many come from, follow the old way.

Hu Xing's face was blue and white, as if he was ashamed that he didn't know what to ask.

After he slowed down, he said: "This is a custom formed in recent years, I know this."

The three of them were slightly surprised when they heard this.

They are all prepared to find out nothing from here, after all, as he said, this is a custom, a custom that has gone through thousands of years, if there is no written record, few people know why they do this.

But unexpectedly, there is still a reason for this custom in the end.

Wang Yi was surprised for a while, and quickly asked: "Please tell me quickly, brother."

The brother tidied up his clothes, coughed lightly, and then replied: "Yu Xing always answers every question, this custom is related to Weiwu Immortal Venerable."
