Main Text Chapter 469: Old Place, Old Friends

(More chapters to come if monthly tickets are over 100!)

The next stop is Shaotai Mountain. Before going to Shaotai Mountain, Miao Yi made a detour to Changfeng City, returning to the place where he was born and raised.

Changfeng City was originally in Nanxuan Prefecture, not too far from Nanxuan Prefecture. When he was still in Nanxuan Prefecture, Miao Yi didn't feel anything. This time he was going far away, Miao Yi's emotions were hard to suppress, so he came back to take a look. If nothing happened in the future, he probably wouldn't come back on purpose again. This farewell might be forever!

A group of soldiers were left to guard the mounts in the mountains and forests outside the city. There was no need for a large number of people to accompany them. Miao Yi, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei each brought a maid to enter the city.

The city is still the same city. The least changed thing in the whole city is probably the weathered city wall. As for the biggest change in the city, it is nothing more than the replacement of old people by new people from generation to generation. Familiar faces are no longer seen, and the houses and buildings that have been repeatedly changed from old to new after weathering.

The people in this world live day after day, and do not need big changes. The monks who firmly control this world do not want these believers to have any big changes, but only need their devout faith.

Standing on the street, looking at the former home opposite that has become a silk shop, there is not even a trace of déjà vu. Compared with the last time I came here decades ago, the business of the silk shop has become more prosperous, and the store has expanded again, covering several houses on the left and right.

The people who followed him did not know why Miao Yi was staring at the silk shop in a daze. Zhao Fei asked: "Brother Miao, have you been here?"

Miao Yi came back to his senses, looked at Qian'er and Xue'er who followed him on the left, and pointed to the main entrance of the silk shop. He smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, the old house at the main entrance was where I grew up."

Several people sighed and sighed when they heard this. They understood Miao Yi's intention.

The pedestrians on the road bypassed several people and looked at them with unfamiliar eyes. The men were extraordinary and the women were as beautiful as fairies. The pedestrians were a little afraid to approach.

Miao Yi suddenly stepped forward and waved to stop a young man, and asked with a bow: "Young man, do you know where the family of City Lord Huang is?"

"City Lord Huang? Which City Lord Huang?" The young man was a little surprised, "I have never heard of City Lord Huang in this city. Did you make a mistake?"

Miao Yi was stunned, then smiled, and bowed and said: "Excuse me!"

He turned around and found an elderly man to ask, the old man said "oh oh" twice, shook his head and said: "The Huang family! It has fallen, it has fallen a long time ago!" He did not let Miao Yi down and led the way himself.

The group walked through several streets. They came to a pork jerky.

Looking at the greasy middle-aged man in front of him who was chopping meat, Miao Yi was a little amused under the guidance of the old man. This was actually the child he saw when he broke into the City Lord's Mansion that year. The son of Huang Baochang who was born by an old cow eating tender grass, is now doing the same thing as he did back then. It's really unpredictable and retribution is not good.

An old woman came out of the courtyard gate behind the pork stall with a basket on her shoulder. She was dressed simply, looked energetic and strong.

The old man who led the way walked over and stopped her. Pointing at Miao Yi and others, he said, "Old sister, a guest is here to see you."

The old woman who was pulled over by the enthusiastic old man looked at Miao Yi with a little suspicion. She was hesitant to speak because she didn't know where the guest came from. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had seen such a noble guest.

"This is Huang Baochang's second wife, the daughter of the tofu shop owner, Mr. Li." The old man explained to Miao Yi, his voice was a little loud, probably because his ears were not good.

Miao Yi was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that the daughter of the tofu shop owner, Mr. Li, was still alive. She seemed to be in good health. Among mortals, she was long-lived, but she was too old to be recognized.

Miao Yi casually took a piece of gold crystal and stuffed it into the old man's hand, sent the old man away, and then grabbed another handful of gold crystal and put it into the old woman's basket. Without saying anything, he turned around and led everyone away.

The old woman was stunned and a little panicked. Why did he suddenly give her so much money for no reason? She hurriedly took small steps to catch up and stopped in front of Miao Yi, and said nervously: "Why did the distinguished guest give me so much money inexplicably? I really can't afford it. I wonder if the distinguished guest is a relative of the Huang family or..."

If she is an old friend of the Li family, there is no reason for her not to know him. Thinking about it, it can only be someone from the Huang family that she has never seen before.

Miao Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to know who I am?"

The old woman tried to ask, "Can't I tell you?"

Miao Yi hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Sister Li, do you still remember Miao Yi, the young butcher at the pork stall opposite the tofu shop?"

The old woman was startled and stared at him with wide eyes. After Huang Baochang died, she had heard from Huang Baochang's daughter that the butcher boy had also become an immortal. This memory was long gone, but now it was brought back to her mind again. She was a little panicked and hesitant, "Could you be..."

Miao Yi nodded and smiled, "It's Miao Yi here!" He bowed, "Take care, Sister Li!"

After saying that, he walked around and led a few people away.

The old woman didn't know that Huang Baochang was killed by Miao Yi. She just stared at Miao Yi's young and strong back and the beautiful woman beside him. She remembered the situation where the young man opposite asked someone to propose marriage and was thrown away by her family. The past events were vivid and she was speechless for a long time.

"Mom! Who is that?" The son, who had just finished dealing with the customers at the pork stall, came over quickly and helped collect the money in the basket. It was too ostentatious to carry so much money on the street.

The old woman turned around with a complicated expression and stretched out her hand to help her son pull up his clothes. She could be considered a person who had experienced drastic changes and experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships. She smiled calmly and said: "I can't remember. It must be an old friend of your Huang family who saw us in such a state of desolation." Come on, help me, please keep the money. It’s getting late, I’m going to buy food and cook..."

After leaving the city, Miao Yi suddenly felt brighter. He didn't expect to see his old friends again, which was considered as a wish fulfilled.

Everyone got on their horses in the forest. Miao Yi glanced at Changfeng City from a distance, turned back resolutely, and led everyone away quickly.

Shao Taishan! This is not the first time Miao Yi has come here. When he was fighting against Xiong Xiao, he came here to kill him, forcing Xiong Xiao to abandon his personal maid and run away!

Shaotaishan had already received a message from Nanxuan Mansion in advance. He knew that Miao Yi was coming and sent spies far away. Before he arrived at the gate, Qin Weiwei, dressed in a white dress that fluttered like pear blossoms, had already led people to greet him, her appearance unchanged.

This time, only Miao Yi came with a few followers, and they just went back. He had no intention of causing Zhao Fei and others to run away more, and he also didn't want so many palace masters to come and cause trouble to Qin Weiwei.

When they jumped off their mounts in front of the mountain gate, Qin Weiwei and others had already stepped forward and saluted: "I've met Master Miao!"

"No need to be polite!" Miao Yi stretched out his hand to support her. His eyes glanced at the red cotton and green willows behind Qin Weiwei, and finally landed on Chen Fei, whom he had not seen for a long time. He nodded with a smile.

After decades of practice, Chen Fei has now reached the sixth level of White Lotus, and under Qin Weiwei's care, he has become the master of a cave. Facing Miao Yi's show of kindness, Chen Fei smiled a little cautiously. After all, the status of the two of them was very different now. Thinking about it, the title of Brother Miao was no longer appropriate. Miao Yi came here just for him. Come on, he already knew this, which was why he was urgently summoned from his territory by Qin Weiwei.

In front of outsiders, Qin Weiwei didn't want to appear too close to Miao Yi, so she stepped aside to get out of the way and extended her hand to greet him: "Master Miao, please come inside!"

Miao Yi declined politely: "There are still a few friends waiting outside, so we can't stay here. I'm here for Chen Fei." He took out Yang Qing's handwriting and showed it to Qin Weiwei.

This time he left Nanxuan Mansion to take up his post in Shuiyun Mansion. He didn't take any of the monks from Nanxuan Mansion with him, only Yan Xiu and Chen Fei. Yang Qing naturally wanted to give him this face, so he wouldn't hold it back!

"Chen Fei! Will you come with me?" Miao Yi asked, holding Chen Fei's arm.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly, your relationship with the three major sects has become such a mess. Now that you are doing this, everyone knows that I am close to you. I can't leave even if I don't want to. I immediately handed over my hand and said: "I am willing to follow the master of the palace." !”

Qin Weiwei's eyes flickered and she said, "The people waiting outside are friends. Could it be that Palace Master Miao thinks Qin Weiwei is of low status and not worthy of being your friend, and doesn't even have time for a cup of tea?"

At this point, what else could Miao Yi say, he could only interrupt for a moment.

In the living room, Qin Weiwei winked, and Hongmian and Luliu understood and invited Palace Master Miao's entourage to rest elsewhere.

Now Hongmian and Luliu can no longer call Miao Yi Master Miao, because Miao Yi's status is higher than Qin Weiwei's, so they can only call him Palace Master.

Qin Weiwei poured the tea and water herself, sat down and asked with a smile: "Master Miao can care about Chen Fei, but he doesn't want to take care of me. He even finds it difficult to come in and sit down. It seems that Qin Weiwei is really out of reach. "

Miao Yi raised his glass and smiled bitterly: "There are no outsiders here, so why do you have to harm me? Why do you have to be so harsh with the palace master? Chen Fei is kind to me, and it is natural for me to take care of you. You have Palace Master Yang to protect you, so why do you need it? I take care of it.”

"You can't say that. I want to break away from my adoptive father's wings and go out on my own to practice. In fact, everyone knows that no matter what I do in Nanxuan Mansion, everyone will look at my adoptive father's face. In fact, I am A decoration! If you are really serious, you might as well take me under your command." Qin Weiwei seemed to be teasing.

Miao Yi shook his head and said: "Do you think Palace Master Yang can let you come with me at ease? When I proposed marriage, he was always on guard against me, for fear that I would eat you up. Even if I was willing to take you away, Yang Palace The Lord will not let you go!”

Qin Weiwei was silent, of course she knew it was impossible, but she still forced a smile and said, "Do you really treat me as a friend? Didn't you treat me like a pervert because of my foster father's relationship before?"

Miao Yi was surprised: "How is it possible? If I didn't treat you as a friend, how could I entrust you with my friend?"

Qin Weiwei stared into his eyes again and asked: "If one day I get my adoptive father's permission and he is willing to let me go, will you be willing to take me in?"

Miao Yi joked: "If he dares to let people go, I will dare to take them in."

A jade palm was raised in front of Miao Yi. Miao Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was doing this again. Looking at Qin Weiwei's expectant eyes, he waved helplessly, and with a "pop", he high-fived her!
