After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 269

Ni Yangzhou followed Cheng Wang to a mountain far away. It was shaded by trees and had beautiful scenery, but there was no one living there.

There was a dilapidated little wooden house built in front of a cave in the mountains. Ni Yangzhou arrived and stood beside it to look at it. He didn't dare to go in, thinking that this confinement room was too rough.

Before we went in to take a look, Cheng Wang, who had been leading the way without saying a word, finally spoke. He pointed not at the wooden house but at the cave:

"Uncle Master, Master is inside."

Ni Yangzhou understood, but he was in no hurry to go in. Cheng Wang didn't know what else to say, and he seemed unfamiliar with interacting with people. After waiting for a while, he looked at the sun and said, "I'll go cook for Master first."

Ni Yangzhou saw the child enter the broken wooden house as if he knew the way there, and then go to the stream with homemade pots and pans to start catching fish.

The young man smacked his lips and went into the cave with a look of disapproval.

The cave is not narrow, on the contrary it is quite spacious, but a little cold.

After walking a few dozen steps, they saw the trees standing upright in a circle, and the white-haired fairy grass spirit inside was sleeping soundly.

But the confinement room seemed somewhat...warm.

The stone bed was covered with thick bedding, and white hair was scattered casually on the soft pillow. The floor was covered with carpets made of pieces of ramie cloth, and I don't know what was stuffed underneath, but it looked neither thin nor thick, just right for walking barefoot.

Ni Yangzhou coughed and asked, "Yuanjia, does Master Haoping know?"

"what?"

The person on the bed was awakened by the sound. He turned around and saw that it was his junior uncle whom he hadn't seen for more than eight years. He immediately laughed and said, "You're here. You know? What do you know?"

Ni Yangzhou also smiled, but kept a straight face and walked closer:

"I know you treat your little apprentice as a little slave."

"That's not the case. This is Cheng Wang's filial piety towards me. If I don't accept it, I will be letting him down!"

Ni Yangzhou looked at the other person. His appearance had not changed at all over the years, and he did not seem depressed because of being put in solitary confinement.

It seems that Cheng Wang took good care of him.

Ni Yangzhou felt a little unfair for Cheng Wang: "I saw it when I came in. If the brothers who flew over by flying swords were faster, they could have directly moved Cheng Wang away from the room where he lived. Why didn't they build a better room for him?"

Yuan Jia's expression was somewhat surprised: "He is still living in that shabby house? My master Haoping was about to come back at that time, so I built it for him temporarily, hoping that he would come and talk to me when he had nothing to do. Who would have thought that he would live here from then on..."

No one continued to speak, and Ni Yangzhou made a rough guess.

She could accompany him and entertain him, and she could also cook and sew. The young man looked at the person lying exhausted on the bed, and even the headband on her head was made of fine stitches, so he did not force the child to go to the monastery to study like he did when he was young.

Ni Yangzhou was about to reach out and pat Yuan Jia on the shoulder, but was immediately stopped by the other party: "Don't touch it, it hurts if you get burned by this. The old man cast a barrier, you can't get out or in, and if you get in, you will lose your spiritual power."

When it comes to confinement, Yuan Jia doesn't even want to call him "Master".

Ni Yangzhou took his hand back again and continued to defend himself: "Then you delayed the child's safety, didn't you?"

Yuan Jia shook his head: "You sound so old-fashioned. When I met you, you were just a child."

Ni Yangzhou couldn't help but find it a little funny when he thought about himself when he first came to Bise Peak and Yuan Jia who lied and called himself "uncle master".

Yuan Jia continued: "But his situation is different from yours."

The fairy grass spirit raised her eyes, and her white eyelashes trembled.

"I can't teach him. This child was harmed by someone before, and his practice is always sluggish. I used up several storage rings of herbs and finally got rid of the root of his illness, but I found out..."

The young man listened carefully: "What did you find?"

Yuan Jia held his face with both hands: "This child's true nature will be revealed only after the root of his illness is removed. This child is born with a Taoist body, and his aptitude is better than you, me, and most people in our Minghong Sect. I taught him these little tricks, and maybe I led him astray."

The silver-white hair was ruffled into a mess by the owner without any care.

"Before I was locked up, I went to ask Master Guanmiao how to be a master. I was even prepared to push Cheng Wang to Master Guanmiao as his disciple so as not to delay him. But Master Guanmiao said to let him be. With such talent, he doesn't need anyone to teach him. If he understands it on his own or the time is right, he will be able to ascend to immortality."

Ni Yangzhou clicked his tongue when he heard this, thinking that there was such a thing. If he hoped that he could be strong and endure all the way until he could be accepted as a disciple, and then Yuan Jia would snatch him away first, he didn't know how many hardships and dangers he would have to endure to gain this qualification.

Although being a laborer like this is also a hardship.

Who could have imagined that a monk with such talent, who was initially starving to the point of skin and bones, could be deceived by Yuanjia's nonsense?

Ni Yangzhou looked at Yuan Jia who seemed confused, not knowing whether to comfort him or congratulate him, so he could only say casually: "It's all fate."

Yuan Jia nodded and asked about the young man's recent situation:

"Master Guan Mi rescued you two? Are you okay now? No sequelae? Do you want to eat?"

As he spoke, he took out a lotus leaf from across the bed, with half a golden grilled fish wrapped inside.

Ni Yangzhou shook his head:

"It's Master Guanmiao. He has no sequelae and doesn't want to eat. Moreover, this grilled fish..."

"What Cheng Wang did was only slightly worse than what I did."

Yuanjia still had a smile on his face, and didn't mention at all that he once didn't dare to taste the things he had made.

Ni Yangzhou said no more and asked about what was in the bronze mirror, which surprised Yuanjia.

"You do not know?"

Yuan Jia stopped eating the fish and moved closer to the young man, saying doubtfully, "That's not right. You had already fallen down when Hongying was communicating with me. Can't the magic mirror overlap the barrier? That means only Hongying, who was talking to me, was still in the real place. I also heard you talking to Hongying!"

Ni Yangzhou tried to recall everything carefully, but he had no recollection of it and looked stunned.

Yuan Jia was still mumbling: "That's not right! Yangzhou, you remembered it wrongly, right? You lost your memory, just a small part?"

Ni Yangzhou recalled the bright light and felt depressed.

Something happened that I didn't know about.

"Yuanjia, I'm going to look for Hongying now. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

"Hey? Hey hey hey? Don't leave. You're the only one who came to see me in years!"

Ni Yangzhou bowed his hands to apologize, and walked out without stopping. He was flustered and walked faster and faster. He heard Yuan Jia's sad cry behind him:

"You must come—"
