Chapter 104: Stone Statue and Lingzhu
After the conversation ended, the old man called Liu'er in.
"Liu'er, you will go to the city with these big brothers and sisters later. When you get there, you must be obedient. If you can tolerate everything, you must bear it. Remember that life is the most important thing!"
Liu'er looked at the strange face in front of her, then turned around and looked at the old man and her mother, and cried out with a "wow".
"Mom doesn't want me anymore..."
"Be good, Liu'er is obedient..." The woman burst into tears when she saw Liu'er crying, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Liu'er, and wiped Liu'er's tears-filled face with her clean inner clothes and sleeves.
"Liu'er is so filial, why would his mother not want Liu'er?" As she said that, the woman also cried.
The old man looked ugly, and after a heavy "hum" sound, the woman stopped crying.
"Liu'er is a fairy seedling. His life is destined to be different from us. If you don't let go at this time, how can you bear it when the child is older!"
"But Liu'er is still young..." The woman hugged Liu'er in her arms and said with tears in her eyes.
"You!" The old man didn't expect that the woman who had always had his life would refute him, so his face changed and he swung his crutch and was about to hit him.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyun hurriedly pulled the old man, then squatted down and said to the woman: "Don't worry, Liu'er is a filial child. After settled in the city, she will definitely pick you up to the city. Do you think so, Liu'er?"
Liu'er seemed to know that his fate could not be changed. He pulled his hands out of the woman's back and said firmly in his trembling childish voice: "Liu'er will definitely pick up her mother!"
From his clenched fists, everyone present could feel his determination.
Perhaps this situation touched the hearts of the disciples present at Taoist Palace, and they were silent and looked dull.
"That's how cultivation is." Yin Tong said in a voice transmission to Miao Xiaomiao.
Miao Xiaomiao also remembered the scene of living with Ji Yunlang. He squinted his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth. It was almost time. When it was the foundation-building stage and had the ability to walk on the mainland, he would go to the Dayijianque Sect to find Ji Yunlang!
After watching the mother and daughter return to the inner room, the old man coughed lightly and said, "This place is too far from the city, and Liu'er's safety is still a matter of hard work."
"What the old man said? Don't worry, Liu'er is handed over to us." Mu Qingyun rolled her eyes and continued, "Old man, do you have a map of this place to the city?"
When the old man heard the words, his expression became alert, and his eyes were like needles, "When you leave the city, haven't the city lord given you the map?"
Mu Qingyun smiled bitterly, pointed outside the door, and said, "This place is so remote and we can mark it on the map, so we won't open this mouth."
"So that's it." The old man seemed to have questions about everyone's identity. His expression did not relax. His right hand, covered with traces of time, kept beating the crutches in his hand, making sounds.
Mu Qingyun felt a strong sense of crisis in an instant. She frowned and stretched out her right hand, and then a light of inspiration rose from it.
"It turns out that he is really a man in the city." The old man breathed a sigh of relief and knocked his crutch on the ground. The sense of crisis in Mu Qingyun's heart faded.
After Liu'er, who was dressed in a fresh manner, walked out of the inner room, the old man stood up and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."
After saying that, he took Liu'er's little hand and called everyone to walk outside the house.
There were still tears in Liu'er's eyes. He tightened the wrap on his body and waved reluctantly at his mother.
After everyone walked out of the house one after another, the old man waved his hand to the woman who was following and said, "Go back. The more you do this, the more uncomfortable Liu'er and you will feel."
The woman held back her tears, squeezed out a smile, and waved her hand to say goodbye to Liu'er.
Liu'er broke free from the old man's hand, turned around and knelt down and bowed: "Mother, you must wait for Liu'er!"
"Okay, mom, wait!" After the woman said this with a sob, she closed the door with force and squatted behind the door alone and cried silently.
After Liu'er bowed to the door three times, he stood up and wiped away his tears and followed Mu Qingyun.
The old man sighed and slowly walked out with Mu Qingyun's support.
After passing a stone tower, he stopped and said, "This is the storage place for the spirit beads. Come with me."
Pushing open the tower gate, a stone statue appeared first in front of everyone. The stone statue was carved with a Taoist dressed in purple feathered clothes. He held a sword in one hand and a plate in the other, with a very kind face.
After seeing the stone statue, the old man and Liu'er bowed and bowed, and when they saw this, they also bowed accordingly.
No matter who is in the statue, it is absolutely right to perform this gift.
Sure enough, the old man looked at everyone with a much softer gaze than before. He led everyone to the back of the statue, then opened a secret lattice behind the statue and took out a box.
There are many mysterious runes on the surface of the box, which makes everyone have more expectations for the items in the box.
The old man first said a strange word, like a tribute to the monk when he used magic, and then he saw him gently open the box, showing a respectful expression.
"This is the spirit beads collected over the years." The old man uncovered the covered yellow cloth and saw five round beads lying in the wooden box.
The white energy in the bead was filled with it, which made people unable to see it clearly, but the disciples of the Taoist Palace present could feel an extremely strong breath of spiritual power from it.
According to the previous agreement, the old man took out two beads from the wooden box and handed them to Mu Qingyun. Then he covered the yellow cloth and put the wooden box back into the dark grid, leading everyone out of the stone tower.
After that, he walked into his seemingly dilapidated wooden house and directed Cheng Jingyi to lift two jars of wine out of the cellar.
"The two jars that have been agreed upon are two jars. Don't think that they are too little. This wine will definitely make you fall in love with."
...
After leaving the village, Mu Qingyun opened the map obtained from the old man, chose the direction, and picked up Liu'er with one hand and walked in front of the team.
Miao Xiaomiao was lying on Yin Tong's shoulder at this time, turning to look at the old man who was still standing at the entrance of the village and silently.
"What's wrong?"
Miao Xiaomiao said in a serious meow: "This village is very extraordinary, and the old man is the same. If I guess correctly, his cultivation level is in the foundation-building stage!"
Yin Tong was shocked. Fortunately, he was at the end of the team now, and the other people's thoughts were not above him, so no one could see the abnormality.
"You mean our identity has been exposed long ago!"
Miao Xiaomiao shook her head: "It's too early to say that. Although his cultivation is very high, his perception is not as good as mine. Maybe it's because of the Spirit Pearl."
"What does it mean?" Yin Tong couldn't turn around, and he didn't understand why he pulled the Lingzhu again.
"After we took the spirit beads, the old man's breath changed in an instant. Although he tried his best to hide it, I still noticed it."
