Mind Cultivation Record

Xinglong Alley is still bustling with people and bustling with people.

Although he seemed to be wandering carelessly in Xinglong Alley, Xiao Mian was highly concentrated, searching through the streets and alleys for every place where Ou Haiyang might be.

Finally, when Xiao Mian was about to give up, he found Ou Haiyang.

At this time, Ou Haiyang was huddled under the wall of an alley. There was a rag spread out in front of him. The difference was that there were no products on it.

Seeing the frail body shrunken in the corner, Xiao Mian really couldn't connect it with a strong man of golden elixir. Is this still the same Ou Haiyang as before?

"Old man Ou, what are you doing..."

"You!" Ou Haiyang raised his head and glanced at Xiao Mian. He was shaken up, but then he lowered his head and confided in a low voice: "I don't know you!"

"Old man Ou!"

"My surname is not Ou! I don't know you either! You...just leave!"

"..., what does the old man have to hide?"

"Let's go!"

"..."

With a frown, Xiao Mian threw down a storage bag and turned around to leave.

Walking out of the alley, Xiao Mian quickly disappeared at the end of another alley.

Within a moment, a monk wearing a bamboo hat and a blue shirt walked slowly out of the alley. In the distance, this man found an open space and set up a stall.

This person is naturally Xiao Mian in disguise.

Xiao Mian placed a few unused utensils randomly and sat cross-legged.

Looking from where Xiao Mian was, he could just see Ou Haiyang slumped at the base of the wall opposite. Xiao Mian wanted to see what kind of mystery this old man Ou was up to.

Just now, Ou Haiyang clearly recognized Xiao Mian, but denied it flatly, and eagerly asked Xiao Mian to leave quickly. If there was nothing fishy in it, he would not believe Xiao Mian even if he beat him to death.

Reconnecting with the previous incident of Ou Haiyang's disappearance, the contrast between this old man and his past is most likely due to his precious grandson Ou Qingtan - this is also the reason why Xiao Mian is so persistent. Now Ou Qingtan is here. Even if the Wang family is not very important, it is still prestigious. Maybe in a few days the Wang family's uncle will come to visit. If Ou Qingtan's true identity can be known, it will naturally be beneficial to Xiao Mian.

While Xiao Mian was thinking wildly, the sun was getting westward.

Ou Haiyang was just huddled in the corner, not talking to anyone, and no one came up to talk to him. He seemed to be waiting to die with his eyes closed, which made Xiao Mian even more unpredictable. Reminiscing about how happy Ou Haiyang was when he learned that he could pass through Yumen Tianguan to Zhongzhou? What he wanted most in his heart was to find his precious grandson. Now that he met Ou Qingtan, why was he living on the street, helpless again?

Unless——Ou Qingtan doesn’t let Ou Haiyang recognize him!

When he thought of this, Xiao Mian suddenly became enlightened!

Yes!

In Zhongzhou, ordinary monks frowned upon outside monks, not to mention the Wang family, one of the four major families in Qin County. If outsiders knew Ou Qingtan's identity as a foreign monk, let alone the eldest lady of the Wang family, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to marry a maid from the Wang family!

In this case, Ou Qingtan must have used some means to forge a false identity as a Zhongzhou monk just like Xiao Mian and Gui Hai...

But a false identity is just a false identity after all. If someone with a heart sees him, Ou Qingtan, hanging out with an old man who is a foreign monk, it will inevitably be exposed; even if others cannot contact the identity of the two people's grandparents, but Ou Haiyang is now in such a miserable state He looked down and out, and he really didn't deserve to have anything to do with the fiancé of the eldest lady of the Wang family.

Judging from how much Ou Haiyang dotes on his precious grandson, as long as Ou Qingtan reveals the slightest hint of related intentions, Ou Haiyang will definitely help him.

After figuring this out, another strange thing came to Xiao Mian's mind.

It was fine that the grandfather and grandson did not recognize each other. Why did Ou Haiyang act so secretive when he saw him, denied it with all his strength, and urgently urged him to leave as soon as possible?

If we just talk about the relationship between Xiao Mian and Ou Haiyang, the other party will definitely not do this. Then there is only one possibility: Ou Qingtan is involved!

But Xiao Mian asked himself that he had nothing to do with Ou Qingtan, so what was Ou Haiyang taboo about?

Could it be because of the ancestral piece of the Ou family - the Lei Peng Demon Feather! ?

When he thought of this, Xiao Mian's heart brightened.

The matter was indeed exactly what Xiao Mian had guessed.

That day Ou Qingtan secretly met Ou Haiyang and mentioned the piece of Lei Peng Feather inherited from his Ou Hai ancestors. In Ou Qingtan's opinion, his old Ou family's family was in decline. To this day, only the ancestral secret treasure was still available, so he wanted to use it as a betrothal to propose marriage to the Wang family so that he could settle down with Wang Yun as soon as possible. Relationship, to avoid long nights and too many dreams.

Unexpectedly, after asking, Ou Haiyang actually said that he gave away the Lei Peng Demon Feather!

Ou Qingtan suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around, asking about the appearance of the monk who got the Lei Peng Demon Feather, and lied that she wanted to thank him.

Ouyang Hai was naturally unprepared for his grandson. He described the appearance of Xiao Mian and Gui Hai. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did it intentionally. Ou Qingtan took it to heart.

After that, Ou Qingtan, just as Xiao Mian had guessed, hesitantly mentioned his own embarrassing situation in the Wang family and talked about his wedding to Wang Yun. Ou Haiyang was so eager to love his grandson that he took the initiative to say that he did not want to drag Ou Qingtan down without saying a word.

Before bidding farewell, Ou Haiyang even left the only 10,000 Spirits in his body to his beloved grandson. The 10,000 Spirits were the parting gifts from Xiao Mian.

After that, Ou Haiyang returned to Xinglong Lane.

Although Ou Haiyang was a little sad at first, he was still overjoyed to see that his grandson was safe and sound and would soon be married to the eldest daughter of the Wang family.

But soon, he discovered something was wrong!

First, his limbs were weak and his head was dizzy. Then, Ou Haiyang felt that the already weak real energy in his body became even more sluggish. At the same time, the meridians in his body also withered, and the flesh, blood, and essence all over his body were increasingly lost, making him in danger.

At first, Ou Haiyang thought that he was about to die, but when he noticed the red glow staining the golden elixir, his expression suddenly changed.

This is obviously a sign of poisoning, but since he entered Zhongzhou, Ou Haiyang has been cautious and never contacted strangers. When those Zhongzhou monks with high eyesight met Ou Haiyang, they just mocked him with words, but no one Come to mess with this old man who doesn't seem to have much luck.

The only exception is Ou Qingtan!

Ou Haiyang naturally didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

Hundreds of years were not in vain. After putting aside the family ties between ancestors and grandchildren, Ou Haiyang understood Ou Qingtan's thoughts - the only way to keep it secret was through death!

After thinking about this, Ou Haiyang smiled bitterly...

He thought that Ou Haiyang had traveled all the way and gone through a lot of hardships. He just wanted to come to Zhongzhou to find his only grandson and see if he was okay. Now things went as he wished, and he finally saw Ou Qingtan, but instead he became Ou Haiyang. Qingtan's further stumbling block!

stumbling block!

is not that right?

Whatever! Since you really want me, I will do what you want...

After smiling bitterly, Ou Haiyang's heart was filled with despair.

Since then, he has been lingering here until he met Xiao Mian today.

The reason why Ou Haiyang denied it was because he didn't want Xiao Mian to delve too much into the rights and wrongs between his Ou family and his grandson. The toxins in his body had penetrated deep into his bones and he was powerless to save him. Even if Xiao Mian could save him, he wouldn't live for a few days. , not to mention that after experiencing the betrayal of the person closest to him, Ou Haiyang had no ambition to live and wanted to die.

Rather than letting Xiao Mian discover the truth of the matter and ruin Ou Qingtan's plan, it would be better for him, Ou Haiyang, to die quietly with a despairing heart.

Of course, on the other hand, Ou Haiyang was also thinking about Xiao Mian.

After seeing through Ou Qingtan's purpose, Ou Haiyang was keenly aware that Ou Qingtan was determined to obtain the ancestral secret treasure of his Ou family. The Lei Peng Demon Feather was given to Xiao Mian by Ou Haiyang. If Ou Qingtan knew This matter may cause trouble again.

Ou Haiyang only hoped that Xiao Mian would stay out of the incident and Ou Qingtan would be safe and sound.

That's all!

Xiao Mian only guessed the first half of the matter, but not the second half. Even with his insight into people's hearts, he did not expect Ou Qingtan to be so cruel and ruthless.

The sun is fading and the moon is rising.

Although Xinglong Lane is still lively, many monks have closed their stalls and returned.

Perhaps unintentionally, the few utensils Xiao Mian took out were all sold out. After rolling up the bedding for the stall, Xiao Mian saw that Ou Haiyang was still motionless.

At this moment, a sneaky figure came to Ou Haiyang, and without saying a word, he took the small bag of spiritual stones that Xiao Mian had put down into his hand.

From beginning to end, Ou Haiyang turned a blind eye.

The man didn't give up after getting the spirit stone. Seeing that Ou Haiyang ignored him, he got angry and kicked Ou Haiyang on the shoulder. Xiao Mian was not far away when a sound of cracking bones came. Xiao Mian was secretly angry, knowing that Ou Haiyang was already injured.

"Why do fellow Taoists cause trouble for a man who is bound to die?" But just when Xiao Mian was about to step forward to stop him, a person beside him kindly reminded: "The old man looks a little pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people. He He is obviously determined to die. He has been silent and silent these days, fearing that he may not be around for long..."

"Isn't there anyone in Xianyang City who cares?"

"Care? How to care? In Xianyang City, there are not only one thousand but also eight hundred old and helpless monks like this. If one is placed, there will be a second one. To arrange them all properly, this amount of spiritual stones is not a small amount, let alone this kind of The old monk has no value at all. Treating them is a loss-making business!" After saying this, the monk came closer and said with a rather gloating smile: "Besides, this old man is a foreign monk, and he wanted to come to Zhongzhou. It’s retribution to end up like this!”

"……,Yeah?"

"These foreign monks are really hateful! Although Zhongzhou is rich, it is our Zhongzhou after all. Why do they come to join in the fun? Just because of the influx of a large number of foreign monks, the price of goods in Zhongzhou has been rising steadily, and our lives have also been affected. Better."

"Who says it isn't?"

Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Xiao Mian saw the villain who snatched the spirit stone kicked Ou Haiyang and turned away. Xiao Mian thought for a moment and then disappeared.
