The river is not big, about ten meters wide. The water flow is not fast, very gentle, and not deep. Except for some pools, the water flow in most places is as high as the knees. There are many fish, shrimps and crabs in the river. At sunset in the afternoon, three
The bucket the man was carrying was already filled with a full bucket of shrimps and crabs, and the fish was placed in the basket where the fish was caught earlier. It weighed more than ten kilograms and varied in size, separated from the shrimps and crabs.
Seeing that the buckets and baskets had been filled with fish, shrimps and crabs, it was getting late, and the sun was beginning to set. The three of them did not continue, got up, picked up their things, and returned to the village.
"Senior brother, I didn't realize that you are quite good at catching fish. I thought you didn't know how to do it? I didn't expect you to hide it so much... Hehe..."
"I hide a lot of things, but you don't know about a lot?"
"Really? Then what else do you want?"
"I think what you're asking is wrong. You should ask me what I don't know?"
"Senior brother, when did you become so thick-skinned?"
"Giggle--"
"..."
Under the setting sun, the three of them walked on the path in the fields towards the village. They talked to each other along the way, accompanied by Xu Jie's charming smile from time to time.
"By the way, Dongsheng, is that Zhou Ping familiar to you just now?" The three of them were walking on the road, talking and laughing. After a while, Lin Tianqi suddenly asked about Zhou Ping, whom he met when he was about to go down the river.
"Zhou Ping, I'm very familiar. What's wrong, senior brother?" Xu Dongsheng said. He and Xu Jie looked at Lin Tianqi, both of them were a little strange. They didn't understand why Lin Tianqi suddenly mentioned Zhou Ping.
"First tell me about him, his family situation, and his daily life. Tell me everything you know about him."
Lin Tianqi said, his expression flickering. Recalling Zhou Ping before, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie looked at each other. Seeing Lin Tianqi's thinking look, they didn't know what was going on with Lin Tianqi, but they all nodded. Xu Dongsheng said -
—
"Zhou Ping is about the same age as me. His family situation is relatively difficult. He lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother alone. He has a relatively honest and loyal personality, is very filial and treats others well... Now, I heard that his mother
I became ill due to overwork and have been bedridden..."
Xu Dongsheng opened his mouth and told Lin Tianqi about Zhou Ping's situation. In short, he was a single-parent family, his family was poor, and his mother was now bedridden. Zhou Ping was said to be a filial son and a good person.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with Zhou Ping? Is there something wrong?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Dongsheng looked at Lin Tianqi and asked, and Xu Jie next to him also looked at Lin Tianqi.
"I'm not sure what's going on, but he has a lot of yin energy in him, and something's not normal."
Lin Tianqi pondered for a moment and said that when he first met Zhou Ping, he didn't notice anything, but when he passed by Zhou Ping, the cold aura on the other person's body stimulated him and caused his body to react.
, and then after Zhou Ping left, he opened his Dharma Eyes and took a look from a distance, and then noticed the Yin Qi on Zhou Ping's body.
"Yin Qi!" Xu Dongsheng was surprised: "How could it be possible? Doesn't he look good?"
Xu Jie's face also changed. Although she didn't know anything about spiritual practice, during this period of time in Yizhuang, she often listened to Jiu Shu, Xu Dongsheng and Lin Tianqi talk about spiritual practice and ghosts. She naturally knew about Yin Qi.
thing.
"This is what makes me strange. The yin energy on his body is very strong. It seems that he has been contaminated for more than a day or two. Logically speaking, if he was really infected with dirty things, he would have died long ago, but he still remains
It’s okay, it’s a little strange.”
Lin Tianqi pondered.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Xu Dongsheng asked, looking at Lin Tianqi.
"Let's go back first. After dinner, we'll go visit Zhou's house."
Lin Tianqi thought for a while and said.
"good!"
Xu Dongsheng nodded.
"Xiao Jie, take this and put it away. This is the amulet." Lin Tianqi took out another amulet folded into a triangle and handed it to Xu Jie: "Remember to keep it with you, just in case I'm not around at the critical moment.
, this can protect you."
Lin Tianqi thought about the way Zhou Ping looked at Xu Jie before. Although Zhou Ping concealed it very well, he still clearly felt the love for Xu Jie in Zhou Ping's eyes. It's not that he likes to speculate the worst about others, but feelings
This kind of thing sometimes makes people do a lot of crazy things, especially since Zhou Ping still has a lot of yin energy.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Lin Tianqi has always been a cautious person and does not want to cause something he regrets because of a moment of negligence.
Some time ago, his amulet cultivation had been upgraded to the fourth level, and with his current cultivation of the eighth level of the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique, even an ordinary ghost can easily block a full-strength attack.
"Um!"
Xu Jie nodded, sensing Lin Tianqi's concern, she happily took the amulet and put it away close to her body.
"Well, senior brother, do you have any more? Why don't you give me one as well?"
When Xu Dongsheng next to him saw the amulet that Lin Tianqi took out, his eyes suddenly became hot and he couldn't help but say.
"Didn't you learn it yourself?"
Lin Tianqi rolled his eyes at Xu Dongsheng angrily.
"Although I have painted, I can only learn it, and the Purple Qi Soul Condensing Technique is only at the third level now. How can the amulet I painted be of any use?"
Xu Dongsheng said with a bitter face, his talent for cultivation is average, not bad, but not good either. Over the past few months, he has been able to practice the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Art to the third level, but he has to practice it to the fourth level.
, I don’t know when it will be, because the Maoshan sect’s exercises basically become more difficult the further you go in practice.
Whether it is the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique or the body-building boxing technique, the first three levels are the easiest to practice, but starting from the fourth level, it is not so easy. Just like the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique, most Maoshan disciples take half a year
Basically, it takes time to cultivate to the third level, but at the fourth level, many people are stuck for more than a year, or even several years.
The fourth level is also a hurdle. Once you step out, you can be considered to have the strength to become a master and have the strength to deal with ghosts at that level. Before the fourth level, everyone was just a scumbag.
Before the fourth floor, in addition to dealing with some unscrupulous little ghosts and monsters, if you really encounter the likes of evil ghosts, you will definitely die.
According to their Maoshan saying, those who have not practiced the Purple Qi Soul Soul Jue to the fourth level are all cannon fodder!
Therefore, although Xu Dongsheng has now reached the third level of the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique, his actual combat effectiveness is still very poor.
Xu Dongsheng looked at Lin Tianqi eagerly. He also knew that with his current strength, he could also play tricks on some little ghosts and monsters. If he really knocked down a bad ghost or something like that, he would definitely be doomed.
Lin Tianqi had no choice but to take out another amulet and hand it to Xu Dongsheng. After thinking about it, he simply took out two more and handed them to Xu Jie.
"When you go back later, give these two amulets to your uncle and aunt, one for each person."
"okay."
Xu Jie accepted it sweetly.
After picking up their things, the three of them continued walking towards the village.
Back at Zhou's house, the sun was almost setting on the west mountain, and Xu's mother had already started cooking. Seeing the three people coming back, Xu's mother came out to greet them. Xu's father and Jiu Shu, who were chatting, also came over and looked at the three people.
The harvest is all with a smile——
"Oh, so many!"
Father Xu was startled.
"Come on, come in first, come in, Tianqi, your clothes are a little wet, go and change them quickly, don't catch a cold..."
Xu's mother quickly called the group of people into the house. She saw that Lin Tianqi's clothes were wet in some places, and quickly called Lin Tianqi to change clothes.
The Xu family's side was festive and lively, but the Zhou family's side was a completely different scene.
After Zhou Ping cooked the porridge for Zhou's mother and put it in the room, he sat alone in the room outside the room and ate it silently, with white rice and vegetables.
