    As soon as the girl's figure flashed, she sat on Ning Caichen's shoulders, kicked her little feet, and asked curiously: "Brother, is dating fun? Su'er also wants to go on a date with brother."

    She had a coquettish expression and a childish tone, but she spoke extremely seriously.  That innocent and cute look made everyone laugh.  Fatty Jin was even more hesitant, like a child.

    Ning Caichen had just comforted A Bao, and this little girl actually came to join in the fun, which made Ning Caichen even more headache-ridden.  He glared at Fatty Jin. This guy was really not afraid of teaching bad things to children.  He didn't know how to tell the girl such an embarrassing thing, so he just said with a grimace: "Be good, Su'er, don't mess around with that damn fat guy, otherwise you won't be cute."

    The girl always puts Ning Caichen at the center of everything. Seeing everyone laughing so much that her stomach hurts, she also knows that she may have said the wrong thing.  She raised her little face, gave Fatty Jin a white look, and snorted: "Su'er knows."

    After a bit of fussing, everyone dispersed.  Ning Caichen patted the girl's little head and asked her to play with the black cat, then he went to Yan Chixia's room.  Ning Caichen thought about the Tai Chi diagram for a while, but finally did not tell Yan Chixia.  It's not that he doesn't trust Yan Chixia, but it's because the innate Tao fetus is too closely related. If he's not careful, it may be known to the Tao Ancestor who doesn't know where he exists.  At that time, everyone may be affected. Rather than doing this, it is better to bear the responsibility alone.

    In the battle with the tree demon, Yan Chixia was not injured, but her mana was exhausted. After cultivating it for a long time, her mana was restored.  Naturally, he doesn't need to cultivate. In the past few days, he has been more focused on trying to figure out his experience in this battle, especially the use of spiritual weapons, which has benefited him a lot.  Penetrating the acupuncture points all over the body is the key to perfect Qi induction.  Originally, this step would take a long time for him to hone and accumulate, but now he has vaguely touched his barrier and seems to be able to take this step at any time.

    As soon as Ning Caichen came in, he stopped and stood up and said, "You are here. Do you have anything to do with me?"

    Ning Caichen nodded and said: "Although we killed the tree demon, there are still many ghosts escaping. The news will inevitably leak out. This Lanruo Temple may not be a place to stay for a long time. After this battle, my mother and the others were frightened.  If I don¡¯t want to live here for a long time, I have to find a place for them to stay. But although the world is big, if it is not secretive enough, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the eagle claws of the Daqian Dynasty. Junior brother, I have little experience and don¡¯t know where to go.  Go, I wonder if senior brother can think of a way."

    "You are right, there is a difference between humans and ghosts. Neither Lanruo Temple nor Guimang Mountain is a place where mortals live." Yan Chixia pondered for a while and said: "This is not difficult. I traveled around the world in the past, and I know that.  There are a few good places. Jilong Mountain has a large population, Meng Yuan is deep in Jinye Peak Well, let¡¯s take Huxi Valley.¡±

    ??Huxi Valley is located in the land of Nanman, close to the West Sea. It is warm as spring all year round and sparsely populated.  The Southern Barbarians are located outside the territory of Daqian. Although there are hundreds of tribes, the territory is vast and the forces are complicated.  Although the Daqian Dynasty was powerful and deeply rooted, it had no control over this place. Finding people here was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was a waste of time.

    Ning Caichen is naturally happy to have such a place.  After negotiating with Yan Chixia, everyone left together the next day.  Wang Cheng had never been implicated. Although he wanted to follow, he had to say goodbye to everyone because of his parents at home.  We have experienced life and death together, and we have long had deep feelings for each other. It is inevitable to feel sad when we say goodbye, but gathering and separation are normal things, and we can only make an appointment to see each other again someday.

    Lanruo Temple is located on the southwest border of Daqian, not far from Nanman.  A few days later, everyone entered the Nanman territory and headed all the way to the Huxi Valley near the West Sea.

    The Southern Barbarians did not have a unified country, but were dominated by eight major tribes, and hundreds of tribes also relied on their own forces.  Although the hierarchy is strict, when there is no war, everyone is not under the control, and they listen to orders but not announcements.  Due to the vast territory of the Southern Barbarians, even though there are hundreds of clans spread out, it is difficult to find a village within ten miles.  Because of this, the customs here are different, and the language and clothing are very different from one place to another.  Even though he couldn't understand the language, everyone watched with gusto without the danger of life or death.

    Along the way, Ning Caichen would hit the Thousand Miles Talisman on the horses from time to time.  Therefore, the march was naturally very fast, but on the seventh or eighth day, everyone arrived at Huxi Valley.

    Looking around, the mountains look like sleeping tigers, firmly protecting a huge valley within them.  The forest in the mountains is like a sea, continuous and lush, with only a remote mountain road leading to it.  If there is no one to guide you, you may get lost accidentally.  The southern barbarians are full of miasma and swamps, and there are ferocious birds and beasts. From time to time, you will encounter all kinds of strange poisonous insects. If you get lost, you will most likely die in the wilderness.  Therefore, he lived in seclusion here, not only that Daqian could not be found, but even the Southern Barbarians were afraid that they would not be able to find a trace.

    The streams in the valley are gurgling and crystal clear, with fish jumping and birds flying to feed.  The shore is flat and wide. Except for a few cultivated areas, there is grass everywhere.born.  As soon as the people and carriages passed by, hares and pheasants started up and fled in all directions.  Not long after, a village appeared in front of them.  This village is not big, with only about twenty or thirty households.

    Yan Chixia said: "Except for a few households in the Huxi Valley, the residents are from the Southern Barbarians, and the rest are those who fled from Daqian and Meng Yuan. In the past, I lived and practiced here in hiding. Seeing that they were displaced and miserable, I took them with me.  We¡¯re here. Time flies, it¡¯s been twenty or thirty years, I don¡¯t know what they are like now.¡±

    Ning Caichen didn¡¯t expect Yan Chixia to do such a thing.  If you think about it carefully, Yan Chixia's temperament is actually normal.  Ning Caichen smiled and said: "Buddhists say, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.' This move by my senior brother is of great merit."

    Yan Chixia shook her head and sighed: "In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer. Although you and I are members of the Taoist sect, in the final analysis, we are from the common people. When we see them suffering, we will naturally help if we can. Between me and  What you do is just sticking to your original intention, so how can you act deliberately and focus on merit? This is putting the cart before the horse."

    Every word was ordinary, but Ning Caichen sounded like he understood it, as if he had some understanding, and said: "I have been taught."

    When Ning¡¯s mother, Master Jin and others heard this, they all secretly praised him. Taoist Yan was indeed a master of Taoism and a man of great kindness.  They were a little worried about settling in Nanman.  Now that they know that most of the villagers in Huxi Valley are Daqian compatriots who have been in trouble, their worries have been swept away.

    After entering the village, the carriage stopped.  The twenty or thirty children who were playing and chasing couldn't help but look over curiously.  But none of them dared to get too close, and stood around looking at each other in surprise.  They have lived here since childhood and rarely see people outside the valley. They have been warned by their families since they were young. Therefore, when they see strangers and are curious, they naturally become wary.  A few smart ones turned around and ran to call someone.

    Listening to the accents of these children, although they are a bit strange, they are all Daqian dialects and everyone can understand them.  After a while, several old people and some women came over.  When they first met Ning Caichen and others, their eyes were full of surprise.  You must know that Huxi Valley is almost isolated from the rest of the world. Except for adults, few people come out of the valley.  Then when they saw Yan Chixia, they exclaimed in disbelief. The old people wiped their eyes, walked up, looked at Yan Chixia in surprise and asked, "You, are you Taoist Master Yan?  "

    Yan Chixia nodded and said with a smile: "It's me." He looked at these old people, vaguely recognized them from the corner of their eyebrows, pointed at them one by one and said: "If I remember correctly, you  It's Liu Laogen, you are Li Dacheng, and you are Zhang Baichun. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and you are all getting old."

    Yan Chixia sighed, and the eyes of the three people suddenly turned red. Each of them said with trembling lips: "Taoist Master Yan, you are really Taoist Yan. I didn't expect you to recognize us. Twenty-seven years later, we all  I thought I would never see you again.¡±

    In excitement, several old men grabbed the women and children and knelt down on the ground to kowtow to him.  Yan Chixia waved her hand in the air, supported them, and said displeasedly: "Get up, everyone. In the past, the poor Taoist was just a little effort, and it shouldn't be like this. If you want to be like this, then I won't dare to stay."

    Hearing this, several old people hurriedly said: "It's up to you, it's all up to you." After a pause, Liu Laogen said happily: "Taoist Master Yan, what you said is true. You won't leave." So did several other old people.  Looking at him eagerly.

    Yan Chixia smiled and said: "Of course it is true."
