Chapter 314 Going up the Mountain
"Strange!"
Liang Yan looked at Ah-Dai up and down for a moment. He didn't have any spiritual power in his body at all, and he didn't look like a cultivator at all. But the moment they looked at each other just now really gave Liang Yan an unfathomable feeling.
"Is it my imagination?"
Liang Yan looked at him carefully for a few more times and made sure that this Dumb was just an ordinary mortal. Then he relaxed his vigilance and said with a little embarrassment:
"Miss Ning, I'm sorry! I saw that this person has a dignified appearance and a good temperament, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
His words were just nonsense. What kind of temperament does a person who has had pig dung and cow dung splashed all over his body have? But what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Ning Wantang actually smiled happily, nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes, yes, yes! You also think our Dumb is good-looking, right? I guess you have some discernment. When you return to the valley later, I will ask my grandpa to refine some pills for you!"
Liang Yan didn't expect that he would fall into this little girl's hands with his casual remarks. He couldn't help but laugh and cry, and casually said: "Liang doesn't take other pills, but he likes to take 'Sword-raising Pill'. No." Did you know that your grandfather might be able to practice it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Wantang waved his hand with some disdain and said, "What's the problem with just a few 'sword-raising pills'? As long as my grandpa is happy, I can feed you like beans without any problem!"
Liang Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he had some vague guesses about the woman's identity. However, he also had some problems and would not ask at this time. He just put on an indifferent expression and said:
"Then Mr. Liang has thanked Miss Ning first, but when are we leaving? Mr. Liang has important matters to attend to. I can help you refine the elixir for forty-nine days to the limit, so we can't delay it any longer."
After hearing this, Ning Wantang hurriedly said: "It won't be delayed, it won't be delayed! I'll take Ah-Dai to the river to wash up first, and then we'll go back to the valley and start refining the elixir."
Liang Yan reluctantly nodded and motioned for her to go back quickly. Ning Wantang led Ah-Dai to find a nearby river and asked Ah-Dai to jump into the river, while she activated magic on the bank to clean his whole body repeatedly.
Liang Yan couldn't help but marvel when he saw that Ning Wantang, who was at the ninth level of Qi refining, was so caring for a mortal man, even not avoiding filth and patiently cleaning his body.
He was extremely smart, so he could naturally tell that Ning Wantang was interested in this man, and could even be said to be passionate about him, but this man was in a daze and looked indifferent. Looking at this situation, it looks like a marriage that is unlikely to be consummated, but Liang Yan is just a passerby. What happens to the two of them in the end has nothing to do with him.
Liang Yan was a little tired after the fierce fight in the Tomb of the Dead, so he leaned against the shade of the trees by the river, closed his eyes and rested his mind. Now that he has lost all his spiritual power, he cannot meditate and recuperate. Otherwise, he only needs to circulate his spiritual power for a few days to get rid of his fatigue.
The scenery here was pleasant, and there were no disputes for the time being. Liang Yan felt a little relaxed, and suddenly he felt a little tired. Just when his mind was drowsy, and he seemed to be about to have a meeting with Duke Zhou, he heard something behind him. A slightly old-fashioned voice came and said:
"I was in a state of drunkenness and dreaming all day long. Suddenly I heard that spring was coming and I was climbing a mountain. Because I met a monk while passing the bamboo courtyard and talked to him, I had half a day of leisure."
Liang Yan felt alarmed and almost immediately stood up and backed away, looking behind him at the same time.
I saw a strange wooden figure "standing" there. This wooden figure has a square head and a big face. Its two eyes are made of jade. It holds a carved folding fan in one hand and the other hand behind its back. It is quite charming. He looks like a scholar and a poet.
In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is "standing", because there are no legs under his torso, but a coffee table for eating. There are wheels on each corner of the coffee table. It seems that it rolls on the ground on the wheels. .
"Little friend, there is no need to panic. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just saw that you were taking a nap here just now and found it quite interesting in the countryside, so I thought of it and recited a poem."
The wooden man opened his folding fan as he spoke, then shook his head and sang:
"Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations. Life is like a dream, filled with happiness."
Before he finished singing this sentence, he suddenly heard a clear voice from the shore calling: "Master Mu, you are reciting poetry here again!"
Liang Yan turned around and saw that Ning Wantang had already cleaned Ah-Dai's body and was walking towards him along the path. The afterglow of the setting sun shines warmly on the bodies of this man and woman. The woman looks more lively and agile, while the man looks more dull and rigid.
Ning Wantang cleaned up Ah-Dai and seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. She looked at the four-wheeled wooden man and said with a smile: "Master Mu, is it Grandpa who came to ask you to take me back again?"
After hearing this, the wooden man shook his head and said: "No, no, Miss, what you said is wrong! We are all educated scholars, how can we use the rude word 'grab' when we think of 'please'." The master asked me to invite the young lady back to the valley!"
"Okay, okay!"
Ning Wantang seemed to know the temper of this wooden man. He stuck out his tongue helplessly and said: "It all depends on Master Mu. Master Mu worked tirelessly and came to the foot of the mountain to 'invite' us back to the valley. Wan Tang is really grateful!" "
The wooden man seemed very happy after hearing this, and laughed loudly and said: "Be polite, a child can be taught!"
After it finished speaking, it suddenly waved the wooden hand behind its back, and a ray of blue light shot out, sweeping up Ning Wantang and Ah-Dai on the spot, and then shot towards Liang Yan again.
Liang Yan was shocked when he saw it, and subconsciously dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the cyan glow followed him like a shadow and actually shot after him.
Liang Yan lacked spiritual power. Although he was physically strong, he was determined not to be able to outrun other people's spells. In just the blink of an eye, he was involved in Qingxia. The wooden man smiled slightly when he saw this, then swung his folding fan, and merged with the green glow, turning into a ray of light and flying towards the mountain.
Liang Yan was in mid-air, feeling strong winds blowing past his ears, and felt a little unbelievable in his heart. Knowing that his six senses are sharp, it was already extremely strange for this wooden man to approach a place two feet behind him just now. Unexpectedly, this wooden man could actually cast spells and fly away in the air, and judging from his casual move just now, he was probably no better than an ordinary foundation-building monk.
The few people flew in mid-air for only a moment before they crossed halfway up the mountain and stopped in an open space.
As soon as Liang Yan landed, he heard Ning Wantang chirping: "Brother Liang, my grandpa doesn't like others flying at the edge of the valley, so we have to walk the rest of the way."
After hearing this, Liang Yan shrugged indifferently and turned to look up the hillside again. He saw that at the end of the mountain road ahead, there was an apricot forest blocking the back. The flowers in the forest were in full bloom, and it seemed that there was a strong sense of spring.
