Strange mountains and rivers

From the perspective of Xiong Zhuang's level of cultivation, it was time for him to go out into the world and gain experience.

However, at this stage, many alien cultivators have actually quietly lived or inhabited in some densely populated places, in order to adapt to human life as quickly as possible, understand the way of human survival, and then become familiar with and adapt to it.

Xiong Zhuang seems a bit slow in this regard. He has basically stayed in Yefenggou for the past twenty years. It is too far away from human settlements, and there are very few people coming to Yefenggou, so these two decades His progress in this area has been slow over the years.

To be honest, if I really want to go out, I'm afraid I won't be used to it yet.

Of course, this is the case for many cultivators when they leave the mountains and enter the world. They have to suffer a lot, suffer a lot, and hit a lot of walls before they can slowly grow and adapt to the new life. This is also a necessary process.

But after spending a few days together, Chen Huaisheng developed an unusual liking for Xiong Zhuang, a simple, honest, and even somewhat funny cultivator.

Even if you are a foreign cultivator, you can still become your partner in this world.

Chen Huaisheng felt that he could help Xiong Zhuang a little more to save him from setbacks and unnecessary losses.

Based on Xiong Zhuang's current learning progress, if he spends three to five months training, then his situation will be much better.

But now he has to return to the mountain gate on the other side of Langling, so he can't have both ends.

"Brother Xiong, I will return to the mountain gate after I go back this time. I see that you haven't decided when to leave the mountain to experience the world. I think it's okay? You also go to Langling and find a place near the Chonghua sect's mountain gate. This way, on the one hand, you can continue to observe and understand all kinds of things in the world, and on the other hand, I can often come out to meet you, and by the way, I can also help you clarify your doubts and provide guidance. In this way, for three to five months or a year and a half, You basically get used to it.”

Xiong Zhuang was also surprised by the advice given by Chen Huaisheng.

He has been worried about what he would do if Chen Huaisheng returned to the mountain gate.

He just left the mountain and entered the world like this, but he still felt weak in his heart. It would be great if there was such a transitional stage.

He even found that he had developed a subtle sense of dependence on a human being like Chen Huaisheng who had only been with him for a few days, which he couldn't accept.

Although he has to enter the human world because of his spiritual practice, it is quite dangerous to become dependent on someone, even if this person seems to be very trustworthy now.

But what about the future?

This emotion has been bothering Xiong Zhuang even these days.

Maybe this is what Chen Huaisheng meant by "congeniality", or "a scholar will die for his confidant"? But it seems like I don’t have to die for him, right?

For a moment, he longed for that feeling. Chen Huaisheng told him stories about human beings, such as the story of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, the story of Lord Xinling and Hou Ying and Zhu Hai, and the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. stories, and also told the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, which he resonated with.

It was precisely because of this slightly complicated emotion that made Xiong Zhuang very entangled.

He also hoped that he and Chen Huaisheng could form a lifelong friendship, but he was worried that Chen Huaisheng would not think so.

But now it seemed that this wise brother still cared about him very much, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Without thinking, Xiong Zhuang agreed: "This is the best thing to do, but dear brother, will this affect your practice in the mountain gate? Also, didn't you also say that you can't come out at will after entering the mountain gate? "

"The car has its own way to the front of the mountain. Let's talk about it after entering the mountain gate. There are still contacts between the inside and outside of the mountain gate. How could there be no contact? There will be a way by then." Chen Huaisheng explained to Xiong Zhuang, "Since this Yefenggou is not If it’s suitable to live in, then do it as soon as possible.”

Xiong Zhuang hesitated for a while, "But this Wild Bee Valley is indeed a good place. There are many bees and insects, and it also produces all kinds of spiritual grass and spiritual materials. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find such a treasure place again in the future."

"Brother Xiong, how do you know what the outside world is like? You have never been out there. How do you know? It's good here, so just leave it here. No one can move it away. You can come back when you have the opportunity. What you need now is to travel. ,..."

Chen Huaisheng said calmly: "I know Brother Xiong, you are still a little hesitant now, but you always have to take this step, so I suggest that you stay in Langling for a while to get familiar with it before you go out."

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's sincere words, Xiong Zhuang finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask Brother Xian to help arrange it. Brother Yu doesn't understand this either. How to do it, Brother Xian can figure it out."

"Okay, in that case, Brother Xiong, hurry up and pack it away. If you think it is valuable and useful, take it with you. If you don't need it for the time being, find a place to hide it and bury it. You can come back and get it when you have the opportunity in the future... …”

Under Chen Huaisheng's urgent and slow urging, Xiong Zhuang finally carried a huge burden on his back, staggered, and was ready to set off.

It's true to say it's a huge burden.

Chen Huaisheng looked bigger than Xiong Zhuang's back, with a big bulging bag.

This was the result of discarding a lot of things under Chen Huaisheng's persuasion.

Basically, it was all about food. Chen Huaisheng felt that Xiong Zhuang had the word "foodie" carved on his forehead.

The spiritual plants of bryophytes and mushrooms accounted for half of it. Chen Huaisheng estimated that it weighed seven to eighty kilograms, half dry and half wet.

The dried ones are ones that Xiong Zhuang usually hangs in the sun for later use. He no longer hibernates. Xiong Zhuang doesn’t like to move in winter, but he can’t eat less, so he has to store a lot every autumn.

The wet ones were collected in the past few days, and the preparations were made for consumption in the past few days.

What's left is some dried meat. The dried meat of an arrow deer and an antelope only retains the most essential meat of the legs and buttocks, which weighs fifty or sixty kilograms.

There are also a lot of bee products.

There are twenty or thirty kilograms of honey, beeswax, bee essence, and pollen. Normally, it would be impossible to accumulate so many things in just a few months.

But this time, Xiong Zhuang obviously knew that Chen Huaisheng liked these things, so he deliberately wanted to collect some and prepare them for Chen Huaisheng.

Who would have thought that bees and insects migrated south and left behind a lot of them, so they got a big deal.

Based on Xiong Zhuang's rare kindness, Chen Huaisheng felt that his trip was not in vain, so he should make plans for Xiong Zhuang.

The path of alien cultivation is not easy to follow. When you reach the current state of transformation, it can be said that not even one of the thousands of animals will have adventures, but going back further will be even harder.

There are also many strange cultivators who have entered the human world. After all, there are tens of thousands of miles of picturesque mountains and rivers, strange peaks and ridges, cloud ponds and swamps, long rivers and deep seas. There are all kinds of rare birds and animals everywhere. Inevitably, there will be those who have had adventures and achieved enlightenment and entered the world.

But these are just mortals in this world, but human cultivators have different attitudes towards alien cultivators, and quite a few of them view them with some malicious eyes and emotions.

Everyone knows that the inner elixir of these transformed cultivators can be regarded as a treasure before the calamity. Once they are used for oneself, it will be like having an extra layer of protection in the calamity. At the critical moment, the inner elixir can protect the body and block the body. Tribulation, twice the chance of success.

Of course, the transformed cultivators are not so easy to provoke. Once these cultivators are angered, their explosive fighting power will be inferior to those in the Qi refining stage. Even monks below the advanced level of Foundation Establishment are no match. Only cultivators at the peak of foundation building dare to fight.

However, there are many masters in the world, and once the alien cultivators are seen through by those high-level cultivators with malicious intentions, it would still be quite dangerous if they were to deliberately target them.

This is why Xiong Zhuang is worried. Xiong Zhuang is too honest and honest and trusts people too easily. He must teach him a lesson.

Chen Huaisheng and Xiong Zhuang walked to the mountains and forests a few miles outside Yuanbao Village before breaking up.

According to the agreement between the two, Xiong Zhuang followed Chen Huaisheng from a distance. They kept a distance of two or three miles until they were near the county seat of Liao County. Chen Huaisheng would find an opportunity to help him settle down before setting off for Langling. .

However, because Cai Jinyang wanted to escort Chen Huaisheng to Langling, in order to prevent Cai Jinyang from finding out, Chen Huaisheng also planned a special path for Xiong Zhuang to take in the wild. However, this path is remote and difficult to walk, but it can maximize the Avoid encountering too many humans.

Even if he encounters one or two on the road, Xiong Zhuang can still deal with it or avoid it.

Because of Chen Luosheng's family, the walking speed was greatly slowed down. He rested for one night at Zhugouguan and arrived in Liao County the next day.

Tiao County is not a big county, so it is not easy to find a suitable rental house.

Fortunately, money can make all the difference. If Chen Luosheng's family wants to live in cities like Bianjing and Luoyi, it will indeed be difficult, but in a small place like Liao County, they are still safe.

After all, Chen Luosheng had been hunting and digging for medicine for so many years and had a lot of savings. He found a suitable small courtyard and settled down.

Chen Huaisheng quickly found Yu Xianxian to see Xiao Qi.

What made Chen Huaisheng and Chen Luosheng's family very happy was that the Jiulian Sect's receptionist in Yiyang Mansion recognized Xiao Qi's qualifications after seeing it.

The Jiulian Sect is different from the Chonghua Sect in that it starts in the autumn. By this time next year, the Jiulian Sect will send people to introduce them.

There's still one at twelve o'clock tonight!
