As for the mythical beast Prisoner Ox, it cannot follow Ruyi down the mountain because of its huge size. If it were to appear in this world, it would definitely frighten the people, not to mention that it has a more important task - to protect Xiaoyao Gate.
Ruyi entrusted Tuantuan and Prison Niu to Elder Yanfeng.
The disciples of Xiaoyao Sect sent the three of them to the mountain gate and said in unison: "Go away, aunt."
Ruyi felt her nose was sore at that moment. She turned her back and wiped away her tears, then said, "It's not like I won't come back."
A lot has happened in the first half year since I started. Although the time is not very long, I have fought side by side with these people and guarded the Xiaoyao Sect together. Nothing can exchange for this friendship from the same sect.
Tuantuan rode on Ah Qiu's neck, looking at Ruyi with tears in his eyes.
"Auntie, you have to come back soon, Tuantuan will miss you."
Ah Qiu also looked reluctant to leave.
Ruyi nodded and said: "I will come back when I finish what I am doing. Tuantuan should listen to the elders and practice hard. And...if nothing happens, don't sing to Ah Qiu..."
Ruyi was very worried about Tuantuan's singing.
Elder Yanfeng said: "Don't worry, aunt, I will take care of the affairs of the family, and everything will be fine. As for the sacred beast Prison Ox, we will select a Tongyin Rhythmist from among our disciples to take good care of it."
Ruyi had been holding back her farewells all the way, but when the words came to her lips, this sentence came out: "I will bring you delicious food back."
It's cold in spring, and after going down the mountain, you can already see little bits of light green. Such vivid colors are very attractive.
In order to hide her from others, Ruyi did not wear a Taoist robe, but changed into ordinary clothes. She carried her senior brother Wangsheng's Changfeng Sword with her. This sword meant a lot to her, and carrying it with her could be regarded as a way to commemorate his soul.
The ugly doll that Qin Xiao gave her was still stuffed in her baggage. Only when she had it by her side could she feel at ease.
The three of them had been traveling for a whole day and originally took the official road. However, because there were many martial arts people coming and going on the official road, Ningwu was worried that Ruyi would be in trouble, so he took them to a small road.
At first, every time I walked along a small road, I could almost see the shadow of the official road, but as I walked, the official road was completely invisible.
The three of them hurried on, thinking that they would always return to the official road, but it wasn't until the sun went down that they realized they were completely lost.
There is no village, no shop, and no inn nearby where you can rest.
It was a cold night in early spring and the mist was so thin that I couldn't see the stars and couldn't tell the direction.
"What should we do..." Ruyi rubbed her hands and asked exasperatedly.
Ningwu said: "What else can we do? Let's pick up some sticks and make a fire."
The young master agreed: "It is still necessary to light a fire, otherwise we are likely to freeze to death in the wild in this weather. No one should close their eyes tonight, warm up to the fire and get through it, and find an inn to rest tomorrow."
It was not an easy task to find sticks of firewood in the dark. The ones the three of them found were either too thin or too short. They finally collected half a dozen sticks, but they were dumbfounded - no one knew how to light a fire.
They were in a hurry to go out, and they never thought that such a situation would happen. They didn't bring anything like a fire stick with them. The three of them had never had any experience in surviving in the wild. They were simply blind.
Ning Wu beat her chest and complained: "When I left from Prince Qing's Mansion, I said I would take some guards with me, but you insisted that I wouldn't take them with me..."
The young master sighed: "I never thought I would encounter these things."
