Chapter 327: Encounter with Liu Ruyan
"Mermaid?"
Shen Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "King Cangli is a bit ridiculous. Mermaids are not in the East Wilderness. If you want to catch them, you have to go to the Beidou Region. The North Sea is where they live."
"It seems you didn't see it either. Never mind. I'll go ask my two mortal enemies."
As it spoke, the four-legged golden toad bent its two dozens-meter-long hind legs, jumped, and disappeared outside the pavilion in the blink of an eye.
Xue Qing looked at the four-legged golden toad that suddenly came and left, and asked in confusion: "Master, does it seem to be looking for something?"
"Why would you care about a toad? This beast was lucky enough to have something left behind by a real dragon, and it really thinks it is a golden toad."
Shen Shu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. In his sight, there seemed to be an old Taoist holding a fortune-telling cloth walking slowly towards here. "Xue Qing, prepare to boil water and make tea. The friend I have been waiting for for a long time is coming."
"Yes, Master." Xue Qing said respectfully.
……
In the Wanshou Mountains, in the silent forest.
On a narrow path walked by two or three people, a petite figure was walking slowly, holding a short black stick about fifty centimeters long in her hand.
As Bai Xian'er walked, she occasionally swung a stick at a bush beside her, followed by a series of screams from the bushes.
While casually dealing with these ill-intentioned Qi-refining demons, Bai Xian'er did not forget to communicate with Jiuyou in her sea of consciousness, but her voice was somewhat dissatisfied:
"Teacher, didn't you say you wanted to catch Senior Brother Ning off guard? But now you asked me to walk slowly. At this speed, Senior Brother Ning would have forgotten everything before I could make the aphrodisiac."
"No, let's just fly. This way it's faster and most efficient."
Jiuyou teased, "Then fly, and then you will become the after-dinner fruit of a certain great demon hiding in the dark."
Bai Xian'er said coquettishly: "Isn't there still you, teacher? You will definitely protect me. Teacher Jiu, you are the best!"
"will not."
Jiuyou Wuqing said: "It's not me who wants to do it to Ning Changge, it's you who wants to do it."
Bai Xian'er was a little sad: "Teacher, please don't be so ruthless, okay?"
"Oh, I'm heartless?" Jiuyou sneered, "I don't know who saw Ning Changge kissing me and cried and screamed for his parents, wanting to die."
Bai Xian'er whispered, "It was you who didn't keep your word. You said you would change people after just one kiss, but in the end, you were obsessed with the kiss."
Jiu You got angry when he mentioned this: "Are you blaming me? It was obviously that little pervert who kept kissing me and licking me with his tongue! I must teach him a lesson!"
Bai Xian'er rolled her eyes: "You mean yellow, right? You clearly looked like you were enjoying it at the time."
Jiu You stamped his feet in anger and shame, "Bai Xian'er!!"
Bai Xian'er taunted mercilessly: "If you can't win the argument, I will break your defense. If you are new, practice more. Understand..."
Before she finished her words, suddenly, a whistling sound passed by in the air at a very high speed. Bai Xian'er subconsciously looked up and saw a big golden toad flying over her head.
Bai Xian'er said faintly: "Teacher, did you see it?"
"So what if I saw it?" Jiuyou said nonchalantly, "This golden toad is at the level of a demon king. It has the strength to fly."
"You are a newbie in foundation building, so you should practice more. Do you understand?"
Jiuyou imitated Bai Xianer's just behavior and mocked her mercilessly.
"Ahhh! Jiuyou, you poisonous woman! I curse you to never find your other half in your life!"
"Humph!"
Jiuyou went to rest in a happy mood.
……
Hongzhen, Wangfu, Supreme VIP Room.
After Ning Changge came back from Yun Xi, he immediately sensed the spiritual consciousness left on the photo pin. When he realized that Bai Xian'er was not in any danger, he went to sleep with peace of mind.
There was no conversation that night. When he woke up, it was already noon. After washing up and eating the breakfast prepared by the servants, Ning Changge planned to practice "The Emperor Wu Sutra" in the house all day.
Because Grandma Li from Caomiao Village will not return home until tomorrow.
However, just as Ning Changge closed his eyes, a line of words appeared on the big treasure book in his mind.
[Master, you still have a mission to complete. ]
"Ok?"
Ning Changge was slightly startled, and then he realized what task the Dabaoshu was talking about:
"Oh, you mean fishing, right? If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought there was such a unique task."
"Then let's not practice today and go fishing."
Ning Changge did what he said. He finished his practice and went out to find Wang Baoguo.
You need a fishing rod to fish, but I don’t have this earthly thing.
Ning Changge found Wang Baoguo who was drinking tea and reading in the hall, and said straight to the point:
"Mayor Wang, do you have a fishing rod? Give me one. And then take me to the Jinling Ferry you told me about before. I want to go fishing there."
"Ah? Oh, yes, Immortal Ning, I'll get it for you right away."
Although he didn't understand why Ning Changge suddenly wanted to go fishing, Wang Baoguo still listened to him and really took out a fishing rod.
"Here, Immortal Ning."
Ning Changge took it and looked at it. The fishing rod in his hand was two and a half meters long and made entirely of bamboo. The surface was yellowed and there were some small pits on the rod, which showed that it was very old.
There is a word "Yun" engraved on the end of the fishing rod. Looking closely, Ning Changge seems to still feel the majestic artistic conception he had when he first saw the "Hongzhen" plaque.
Wang Baoguo, who was standing by, saw Ning Changge staring at the fishing rod and thought he disliked its old appearance, so he smiled and explained:
"Ning Shangxian, don't look at it as shabby. It was passed down from my grandfather's grandfather. It must be nearly five hundred years old."
"Moreover, if you use this fishing rod to fish, you will definitely catch nothing nine out of ten times. My Wang family got rich by using it."
Ning Changge raised his eyebrows: "So magical?"
"of course!"
Wang Baoguo suddenly sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that it can't catch the legendary black carp, otherwise my Wang family could have moved up a level."
Ning Changge smiled and patted Wang Baoguo on the shoulder, "Mayor Wang, people should be content with what they have."
"Not much more to say. Let's go. Take me to Jinling Ferry."
Wang Baoguo said apologetically, "Well, Immortal Ning, the ferry is near Cao Miao Village. Go find my niece Cuihua and ask her to take you there."
"I'm already old, and it's a bit too much for me to travel back and forth from town to the countryside."
"That's fine. Oh, by the way, if my fellow apprentices ask me where I've been, just say I was out on business."
After that, Ning Changge put away his fishing rod, and then communicated with Hongye in his heart: "Hongye, go to Caomiao Village."
"Okay, Dad."
In the hall, a red light flashed and Ning Changge disappeared.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Caomiao Village, a blue brick and tile house, in the living room.
Wang Cuihua was warmly entertaining Jin Pin'er and Liu Ruyan: "Hey! Miss Pin'er, are you here to buy my grapes? This time I'll sell them to you at a low price, two bunches of grapes for one spirit stone."
Jin Pin'er shook her head and said, "Auntie Wang, I'm not buying grapes. My young lady wants to ask you something."
The enthusiasm on Wang Cuihua's face instantly disappeared, "No, okay."
Listening to Jin Pin'er's words, Wang Cuihua turned her gaze to Liu Ruyan beside her, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes. Pin'er was already very beautiful, but this charming woman was even more beautiful than her.
It's really strange, when did the village become so popular with monks? A few days ago, Uncle Wang even brought people from the Immortal Sect here.
"Fairy Liu, what can I do for you?"
When Jin Pin'er heard the word "fairy", she immediately blinked at Liu Ruyan and smiled, "Miss, if Aunt Wang knew that you were the Saint of the Hehuan Sect, would she still dare to call you a fairy?"
"I think you're itchy!"
Liu Ruyan cursed Jin Pin'er through voice transmission, and at the same time, she raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled:
"It's like this, Aunt Wang. Yesterday, Pin'er told me that your grapes were irrigated with water from the Cangli River. Is this the only river water you used?"
Liu Ruyan thought about it for a long time last night. Was it an illusion that her eyes could see through things the moment she ate the grapes? She had to come and check it out. What if this was a great opportunity?
Wang Cuihua said truthfully: "Yes, there is a ferry crossing on the Cangli River near our village. Villagers often wash clothes and fetch water there. Miss Liu suddenly asked about this. What's the matter?"
"Can Aunt Wang take us to see the ferry?"
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan waved her hand, and several spirit stones appeared on the table in the living room.
"Oh! Fairy Liu is so polite. I'm just showing you the way, but you've made me feel embarrassed to take it."
Wang Cuihua didn't take them, but she put them in her arms the next second, "Come on! Fairy Liu, I'll take you there now."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang..."
Before she finished her words, a gentle inquiring voice suddenly came from outside the tile-roofed house.
"Aunt Wang, if you are free, take me to Jinling Ferry."
"Huh?!" x2
When Liu Ruyan and Jin Pin'er heard this familiar and gentle voice, they looked at each other, as if to say, "Miss Pin'er, does that sound like Ning Changge's voice?"
