Chapter 1190 Stealing Steamed Buns

"Secondly, if you meet the original owner of this sword at a critical moment, and the original owner manipulates this sword to strike you at a critical moment, you will be useless even if you don't die."

Only then did Ye Tian suddenly realize that what the old man said was indeed true, a monk of this level could still control his own sword, let alone a former Taoist soldier.

However, the original owner of this sword does not know how long he has lost this soldier. If it is not long, it means that the strength is still in the realm of heaven. If it has been lost for a long time, then it is uncertain.

"Whatever, let's do it."

Ye Tian didn't want to think about these things anymore. After all, he was quite tired from the journey, and now he should take a good rest before making plans.

He was going to lie down and have a good sleep. Although monks don't need sleep, the body of monks is still based on the human body. No matter how much they have tempered the body, they usually only say that it relieves the fatigue of the body and keeps those cells Stay alive.

But these cells still need to stop and sleep well. In this wilderness, Ye Tian doesn't believe that someone will follow up to plot against him. Besides, there is an old man with lotus lamp protecting him, so it should be fine.

As soon as I lay down, my body fell asleep for seven or eight hours, and I didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Ye Tian got up and stretched himself to pull himself together, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice, to drive away those drowsy thoughts.

When it was almost time, he packed up and was ready to start his journey.

The hotel he booked yesterday is a bit far from another gate of the ancient wood city, and it will take some time on the way to get there.

"Stop, you thief!"

At this time, there was a sound of chasing from behind, and before Ye Tian could turn his head, a figure ran past him, but it was really unlucky, he stepped on a stone, suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a thin and thin man with a dusty face, as if he had been wandering for many days, holding a few steamed buns tightly in his hands.

Seeing this, the people behind also chased him, surrounded him on the ground and beat him up.

"You bastard, you even stole steamed buns and gave them to you for a few days, and you still want to steal them today."

One of them was the most ruthless, and the stick in his hand made a whistling sound, hitting the man again and again.

But the man was beaten like this without the slightest groaning and begging for mercy. He just nestled tightly on the ground and let them beat him, protecting the steamed bun in his hand.

Although the people of Gumu City are simple and simple, they hate this kind of thieves the most. Even the city lord's mansion has an order. If someone steals in the city, the stolen person can deal with the thief at will.

But Ye Tian couldn't bear to see him like that. It might be difficult for a big man to be reduced to stealing steamed buns.

"Stop beating, I'll give you how much these steamed buns cost."

Ye Tian suddenly appeared and stood in front of the man to protect him, his feet shook, and the weapons held by the beating group fell to the ground.

"Hey, these steamed buns don't cost much. We beat him to make him remember. How can a man of his age steal steamed buns." The leading man was big and stout, and then he called the group of people to pick up the weapons on the ground. gone.

The passers-by on the road didn't pay much attention, and they didn't look around and say anything to show mercy for this man. They all hated this kind of behavior. This man lay on the ground as if he knew nothing, and walked past him one by one.

"Thank you." The man got up and bowed to Ye Tian, ​​then ran away.

It's strange to say that those people hit him so hard, but there was not a single bruise on his face.

Ye Tian stared at his steps closely, and sensed some aura of fairy footwork from it, which was a little unexpected.

Why did the cultivators steal these buns? It's not just what they need to feed their stomachs, and it's not like taking this kind of tasteless steamed buns.

Ye Tianxin was puzzled, and followed from a distance.

The man used his footwork to turn left and right, and walked into an alley. Ye Tian followed him and got farther and farther away from the city gate.

The man pushed open the door and entered a room, Ye Tian also stopped, stopping at the door, wondering whether he should enter or not.

"come in."

The man's voice came from inside the room, beckoning Ye Tian to go in.

Ye Tian didn't think much, pushed open the door and saw a scene that surprised him.

This small room is full of children, the youngest is just waiting to be fed, the oldest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, they are all skinny, the man is breaking up the stolen steamed buns and giving them to them bit by bit.

"I'm sorry, I just bought a little steamed bun today, but it's not enough for you to eat. You should eat some first, and Uncle will go out to find you something to eat in the evening."

"It's okay Uncle, we're not hungry."

"Uncle, sister Xiao'e brought us some rice cakes today. We've eaten them. Let's eat these steamed buns for you."

"Yes, Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, aren't you hungry?"

Those little guys were so childish, they scrambled to feed the shredded steamed buns to the man's mouth, urging him to eat. These children were so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"Uncle is a fairy, Uncle will not be hungry, you see Uncle brought a friend back today, I will talk to him about something later, and I will perform magic tricks for you later."

That person's doting expression, Ye Tian seemed to be able to understand his feelings, because he had this expression for Xiao Huibai, and felt very distressed for her.

All the men came out of the room, signaling Ye Tian to go outside with him to talk again.

Ye Tian saw the eyes of those children looking at the man full of emotion, and some of them even greeted him.

"These children are the reason why I stole those steamed buns. They are all abandoned street children. Some are because the family can't bear them, some are because of girls, and some are born with some disabilities, and their parents throw them at random. Outside the city, I brought them back one by one and placed them in this hut." The man looked directly at Ye Tian, ​​without feeling that he was wrong at all.

"You should be a monk. It stands to reason that a monk should have no shortage of means of earning a living. Why did you steal that steamed bun?" Ye Tian was puzzled. A monk is a superior existence to ordinary people. No matter what state you are in, as long as you walk In the secular world, if you perform some spells, you will be admired by people, and you will not steal steamed buns.

"The owner of the steamed bun store is the father of the youngest child inside. Just because the child is a girl, he randomly discarded her outside the city. If I hadn't arrived even if I arrived, she might have become the food in the stomach of some beast. .”

"So I went to that shop to steal steamed buns over and over again, and I couldn't be more angry." The man said here, his eyes were red.

"But you can find a better job here to raise these children. Why steal?"

"When I came out of the house, I was carrying a bag with me. Unfortunately, I encountered a beast on the way. After a fierce battle, it was stolen by someone. Afterwards, I had no choice but to hurry and arrived in this city without much rest."

"But I don't think I can take care of the children for a long time. I was going to the holy city. I really couldn't bear to leave these children, so I stayed here for a long time. Fortunately, there is a woman here who takes care of these children with me. , I’m just busy enough to come here.” As he said that, the man looked at the room reluctantly.

"The holy city? Are you going to participate in the opportunity of the land of unity?" Ye Tian asked, according to the time he said to rush, generally speaking, only to participate in this kind of opportunity, so he will rush on the road in recent days.

"Exactly, your destination is also here?"

"It turned out to be a fellow daoist, lucky to meet you."

"It's not a lucky meeting, I look so down and out." The man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Hua Chi, you are here." At this moment, a female voice came, and a plainly dressed woman stood behind the man, talking to him.

Although the woman was dressed plainly, it was difficult to conceal the ethereal and pure temperament on her body, and Ye Tian couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Xiao Xiaobai told me that you came back with steamed buns today, and you have so many dirty marks on your body, you were beaten?" The woman looked at the man distressedly, with rich emotions in her eyes.

"It's okay." The man smiled apologetically at Ye Tian, ​​and then cupped his fists at Ye Tian.

"I forgot to introduce, my name is Yu Hua Chi."

"Ye Tian." Ye Tian raised his hands in return, and then Yu Huachi and the woman returned to the small room. It seems that this woman is the sister Xiao'e that the children were talking about just now.

Ye Tian saw Yu Huachi and the woman talking and laughing with the children in the room through the window, and there were children lying on his shoulders and crawling around on him.

It's just that this kind of scene can't last long.

For the monks, the chance of returning to this place is simply a great blessing. Just going to participate once can change your life. I don’t know how many sects will be waiting outside the exit. Those monks who want to take them Recruited.

Then once Yu Huachi leaves, these children may lose their protective umbrella, and also lose the opportunity to feed themselves. After all, relying on this one woman cannot support so many children.

Ye Tian looked at this scene, and felt a little touched in his heart, and thought of an idea at the moment.

After the man finished playing with those children, he went out to look for Ye Tian.

"Brother Huachi, it's not a big deal for you. There are only ten days before the opening of the Land of Return. If you don't start, I'm afraid you will miss this opportunity."

"I know, it's just that I really can't let go of these children." Yu Huachi smiled wryly, looking at those children with distressed eyes.

"How about this, Brother Huachi, why don't you go with me, I can take out some jade crystals for that woman, let her buy a bigger house and ask a few servants to take care of these children, and wait until the future How about you come back and take good care of them after the opportunity of the land is over?"

"Brother Ye, this is not good. After all, this is my business. I chose to take care of these children myself. I shouldn't cause you any trouble."

"It's not too much trouble. Seeing what you've done, I'm touched. As long as you treat these children well, you don't have to think about it so much. Just find someone you can trust."

"That's really thankful, Brother Ye, Yu is here to thank you." Yu Huachi said, and was about to kneel on the ground to thank Ye Tian, ​​but was stopped by Ye Tian.

"We fellows don't have to be like this, but you should make a decision as soon as possible, I may be leaving today." Ye Tian looked at the sky, it was already evening, and the fire clouds spread across the entire sky.

"Okay, let me explain to these children, and I will go with you." Yu Huachi hugged Ye Tian, ​​and then entered the room.

Not long after, Ye Tian heard the cries of those children, they all left Yu Huachi reluctantly.

"Uncle, don't go, we will be very good and won't cause you any trouble."

"Uncle, we can also go to the street to help a little now, so you don't have to be so tired to take care of us."

"Uncle, our grade is enough, we can go to the streets to find work, why don't you go."

Yu Huachi looked at their reluctance, and he also didn't want to leave in his heart.

"Children, we were born in the world of mortals, and we all have to fight for survival in the world of mortals. You have to leave in order to survive, and uncle also in order to survive."

The woman's expression also showed reluctance, she kept staring at Yu Huachi closely, the tears in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

"Li Xiao'e, come out for a while." Yu Huachi brought Li Xiao'e out.

"This son will give you some jade crystals. You can use these jade crystals to buy some better houses, and invite some servants to take care of the children with you."

Li Xiao'e nodded and looked at him closely, her eyes filled with tears.

"Do you have to go? The two of us can find a job together, and then save enough money to open a store to raise these children..."

"No way, Xiao'e, I'm a monk, I have my pursuit, I miss these children, but I have more important things to do, I will come back to you after I finish." Yu Huachi looked at seriously She, with a firm look in her eyes, cannot refuse.

Ye Tian also saw this inseparable couple at this time, he was not moved when he saw this scene, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Okay, Brother Ye, explain to her."

Seeing this, Ye Tian took down a money bag from his waist. For monks, because they often have to pay, the jadeite will be paid along with the money bag. Fortunately, the price of this kind of purse is also relatively low.

"There are 500,000 jade crystals in here, which should be enough for you to buy a big house and hire a servant. It's my kindness."

"But you have to promise me that these jade crystals will only be used on these children, and you can't use them for selfish purposes. I have cast a magic spell on them, and if you abuse them, you will be burned by karma."

Ye Tian naturally frightened her with the latter words, there is no reason why the things given out can be used in a sensitive way, if he is asked to leave a magic weapon, maybe it will have this effect.

Yu Huachi didn't expose him, but echoed from the sidelines.

Li Xiaoe nodded desperately.

"I swear, I will never use these jade crystals for personal use, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death."

"Okay, you accept it."

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoe accepted the money bag.

"I'll wait for you at the South City Gate for an hour, and you decide whether to stay or go with me." After speaking, Ye Tian left here. After time was running out, he passed through the Tianbeng Mountain Range and didn't know what else would happen. It's best not to waste too much time on other things.

Yu Huachi thought for a while, then re-entered the room with that Li Xiaoe, and stayed with those children for a while longer.

Ye Tian was waiting at the gate of the city, and the sky gradually darkened, but he waited and waited for nothing, so he prepared to leave by himself.

"Brother Ye, wait!" Just as Ye Tian was about to leave the city gate, Yu Huachi's voice came from behind.

It seems that Yu Huachi chose the path of a monk in the end. After all, a monk spends his whole life cultivating the Tao and fighting against the sky. How could such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed.

"You're still here."

"Yeah, after all, these jade crystals given by Brother Ye are enough for them to live for a long time, and they can even support more than one generation. I, Yu Huachi, will never forget Brother Ye's kindness!" Yu Huachi came to Ye Tian's house. Beside him, he solemnly hugged him, with gratitude in his eyes.

"For monks, these things are things outside of the body, nothing, but brother Yu, you can even give up cultivating for this, I really admire you." Ye Tian also admires Yu Huachi, as a monk, he often ignores these people for the sake of cultivating the Tao Regarding the affairs of the world, Yu Huachi was willing to stay and take care of such injustices, which is really rare for a cultivator.

"I just felt pity for these children when I saw them, and I didn't help much." Yu Huachi smiled, he didn't have anything valuable on him, otherwise there was no need to steal steamed buns to give to these children have eaten.

"It's not too late, let's get on the road."

Then the two of them left the city gate and walked in the direction of the collapsed mountain range.

The two of them still walked on the road for two days, and the road pointed out by the old man Lian Deng was good. There were no fairy beasts on this route, and they just entered the periphery of the center of the Tianbeng Mountain Range without any danger.

"Brother Yu, let's take a rest here tonight and continue to leave tomorrow." Ye Tian suggested, walking non-stop for two days, although there was no burden on the body, but he was still a little tired mentally.

"Okay, then according to what Brother Ye said, tens of thousands will set up camp here." Yu Huachi agreed, and immediately took out the tent and some trivial things from his body.

Originally, he only had a few things on him, but fortunately, Ye Tian had the foresight to buy some more, and now it is enough for the two of them to share.

Ye Tian took out a large piece of meat from his Qiankun bag. It looked like it weighed several kilograms. This piece of meat belonged to a small animal they met on the road yesterday. He stared at them frequently as if he regarded them as It caught its prey, but when it pounced on it, it was easily taken down.

So it was used by these two people as food for their hunger, but this kind of ordinary beast has been exercising a lot in the mountains and forests, the meat is very firm and tastes good, Ye Tian set up a rack to roast this piece of meat.

The sky soon became completely dark, and the two sprinkled some beast-repelling powder in the dense forest to prevent the invasion of those small beasts, and then set up a restriction so that the creatures outside could not see inside. Shouldn't be bothered.

Ye Tian turned the meat on the grill little by little, he bought some seasonings when he was free in the city, and put it on the meat at this time, the aroma of the roast is really mouth-watering.

"I didn't expect Brother Ye to be so proficient in outdoor barbecue. He doesn't look like a member of that kind of big family." Yu Huachi praised, this piece of meat really made him feel good even as a monk.

"I just learned this by hand. I often fight with fairy beasts in the wild. Sometimes it's a waste to throw those large corpses on the ground to waste. It's better to roast them and it tastes delicious." Ye Tian said casually , but the movements in his hands did not stop.

After the meat was roasted, Ye Tian took a knife and cut off a piece for Yu Huachi, and cut off a piece for himself, and then took out a jug of wine from the Qiankun bag.

This pot of wine cost Ye Tian a lot of money, although Ye Tian is not addicted to alcohol, but he still doesn't want to let go of that kind of good wine, so it doesn't hurt to buy it and taste it.

"Looking at Brother Ye's appearance, I don't know what the living environment was like since childhood." Yu Huachi asked after taking a sip of his wine.

"It's normal. I have lived in the deep mountains and wild forests since I was a child and have no contact with the outside world. This time my parents passed away, so I wanted to come out and experience it."

"I'm sorry, when it comes to this kind of thing, I don't know Brother Ye..." Yu Huachi was a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't open which pot he didn't open and carried which pot, and he talked about such a sad thing.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything anymore. They are all monks. They died when they were practicing together. It's a good death, right? The two of them cuddled together." Ye Tian was a little dumbfounded. For a suitable identity, just take the previous statement that lied to Gu Yuan and the others and make it up.

"I am somewhat similar to Brother Ye. My parents are also monks. We are considered a family in that village. It's just that the descendants born now have no talent for cultivating Taoism, and gradually become mediocre. In my generation, only I can Cultivate the Tao."

"Only you can practice Taoism. Shouldn't that be concentrating all the resources in the family to cultivate you? Why do you go out this time and you don't have much money?" Ye Tian was a little puzzled. No matter how you say it is a Taoist family, it shouldn't be It's just that there are fewer things that are close to you. There must be some ancestors in the family who will pass them down.

"Brother Ye doesn't know something." Yu Huachi smiled wryly.

"The family has been weak for a long time. Give what should be given and sell what should be sold. All valuable things in the clan are exchanged for some money for the survival of the clan."

"In fact, in my generation, there are still some people of the same generation who can practice, but they chose me with the best talent, and devoted all the resources in the clan to train me. I hope that my growth can feed back to the clan in the future."

"It's just that although I have a good talent for cultivation, I don't want to use it to exchange for something, and I don't want to deceive ordinary people. Those poor people can be saved as long as they can. I don't charge money, and I don't want to get involved with the rich. Their thugs are average."
