C94 Unexpected Guest

094

Each of them ate a so-called pheasant and drank half a pot of fish soup. Wu Tie pretended to rummage through his backpack, but in reality, he took out two red apples from the space. Wang Shujie took a bite and was very satisfied. He wasn't sure if it was because of his martial arts training, but he felt that his current days were even more satisfying than the bustling city described by the people who came back from work.

At most, Old Uncle had led them deeper, but now he and Ye Zi could move alone. Wang Shujie chewed on an apple as he discussed the idea of exploring the mountains with Ye Zi, but Ye Zi kicked him mercilessly, which was too far away, and the deeper they went, the harder it was to tell where they were going, not to mention whether they were going to encounter other dangers, which made them laugh their teeth out at the fact that they couldn't get out of the mountains.

"Just move after you've eaten your fill. Bring back some of the good stuff." Before coming here, he had said that he would have to gather red mushrooms. Only after entering did he remember that red mushrooms didn't have such an early date. It was only natural for them to be around seven to eight months old.

Although they also produced red mushrooms in this area, they were not as famous or abundant in other places. In his previous life, the forest resources were severely damaged, so red mushrooms were even rarer. Only Old Uncle, who was able to enter deep into the mountains, could harvest some red mushrooms.

"Fine, I'll take you there. I saw a mushroom cave before, I still have some left over." Wang Shujie stretched lazily and stood up with Ye Zi to put out the fire. Then he shoveled some dirt to cover the fire. Although the forest had a lot of water vapor, they still had to be careful.

After staying in the mountains for a few more hours, they filled two cloth bags with fungi and picked two small fruits. When it was getting late, they quickly went down the mountain and caught a few pheasants to eat. On the way down, they caught some chickens to eat.

It was almost 5 o'clock, and the mountains were not able to receive the signal. At this time, Ye Zi's phone had a few notifications that he did not pick up, and two of them appeared, one of them was Big Brother Tang, Ye Zi did not mind, Big Brother Tang knew that if he could not get through, he would definitely know that he was in the mountains, but the other number came from a stranger, so he was a little familiar with it.

"What's wrong with Ye?" Who's looking for you? "

"Look at this phone number, it seems to be Ding Xu's from the city. Go back and find his name card and see if it's okay. Let's go home." Ye Zi couldn't think of why Ding Xu would look for him, so he put his phone away first.

"Ding Xu? The Ancient Martial Cultivator in the city? If anything happens, Ye, remember to call me. " Ye Zichen remembered that Ye Zichen's evaluation of his martial prowess wasn't low. Although he wasn't good enough for others to see, Wang Shujie still warned him repeatedly.

"I know, nothing big will happen." Zhou Tie laughed as he walked. He believed that there would be no danger to Ding Xu's attitude towards Ding Chang and Lee Chengdong. Moreover, he would not be caught unprepared. He should still be cautious when facing outsiders.

When they entered the village, they greeted the villagers they met. In the end, they heard that a guest had arrived at their home. Ye Zi and Wang Shujie looked at each other, then contacted the missed call on their cell phone.

"Let's go back and see." Even though he said that, Ye Zi was seventy to eighty percent sure that the person who came was Ding Xu. If other villagers had seen him before, they would not be able to recognize him.

Arriving at the front of his house, he saw the car parked outside. Before he even entered the door, he heard laughter coming from the yard. Who else could it be other than Ding Xu?

When Ye Zi pushed the door open and entered, Ding Xu, who was talking to Ye Wenbo, and the man in black also looked towards the door vigilantly. Ye Wenbo immediately stood up when he saw his grandson come back, "Zi, you're back. This is Mr. Ding Xu Ding, he's been waiting for you at our house for a long time."

He knew about the existence of the Ancient Martial World, and also knew that there was an antique shop's Ancient Martial Cultivator like Ding Xu in the city. Therefore, when the guests present at the door introduced themselves, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, and he politely invited them in to treat them appropriately. Furthermore, the cordial attitude shown by the guests did not make Ye Wenbo let down his guard, as the more he doubted the purpose of the visit, after all, in the eyes of others, his grandson was only a teenage child, so what was worth being treated like this by an adult.

Behind Ye Wenbo, Ding Xu walked over with a smile. Ye Zi first nodded at his grandfather, and after handing the thing in his hand to his grandfather, he cupped his fist towards his grandfather and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Ding would come. I've made Mr. Ding wait for a long time."

"No, I'm sorry to bother you. Besides, I'm honored to have you here, Mr. Ye, to entertain me." Ding Xu also returned the greeting. He looked at Wang Shujie, who was behind Ye Zi, and said with a surprised look, "Looks like this young brother has also set his foot into the Ancient Martial Gate."

Ding Xu was dressed in a long gown, looking fresh and refreshing. Ye Zi and Wang Shujiegang came from the mountains, carrying a basket and a bag. Compared to the former, Ding Xu appeared to be in a rather sorry state. Wang Shujie turned around and put down the stuff in his hands. Hearing the words from the other party, he stood up and performed an ancient courtesies as well. "Mr. Ding has good eyesight, but he just entered the sect. It's not worth mentioning."

Ye Zi introduced him along the way, "This is my neighbor, Wang Shujie, who grew up together with me."

He wasn't sure if Ding Xu had investigated all the people around him, or if he had found Senior Kuang Kun's whereabouts. He felt that it was necessary to remind his senior that Senior Kuang Kun might be able to hide his aura, but since Wang Shujie had just entered this door, it would be difficult for him to hide the traces of Senior Kuang Kun practicing the sword.

Although there were a lot of people who used their Ancient Martial World to make their weapons, they had to be on guard.

"There are quite a few people around Ye, it has opened my eyes."

Seeing the time, Ye Wenbo was a bit polite. He invited Ding Xu to stay for a meal, but didn't expect the other party to agree directly. Ye Wenbo didn't reveal his thoughts at all, telling Ye Zi to take care of the guests, so he went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Ye Zi went back to his room to pack up before coming out again. He brewed another pot of tea and poured a cup for Ding Xu, bringing it in front of him.

Ding Xu smiled and took it, "Ye-zi, I was rude this time. When your phone couldn't get through, I guessed that you were at a place where the signal wasn't working properly, but because you happened to be working nearby, you stopped by and gave your grandpa a lot of trouble."

Ye Zi stopped pouring the tea for Wang Shujie, passed the cup to the latter, raised his head and smiled: "This is just a coincidence, how can there be no trouble, grandpa is very happy to have guests coming to visit, it's just that the countryside is simple, I'm afraid Mr. Ding is not used to it."

How could Ding Xu not hear Ye Zi's courteous and distant attitude, but this was understandable, he smiled and did not continue to be courteous, and instead said: "What do you mean, it's not simple and crude, I'm very comfortable staying in this kind of place, Leaves can call me Big Brother Ding, do you think that I was born in the city? "Hehe, I grew up in a mountain village. When Ye Wen was at his age, he was still practicing martial arts in a mountain village and would also do some farming work when he was free. He would go into the mountain to hunt for mountain fruits and go back every year."

This was a little out of their expectations. Ding Xu continued to explain with a smile, "It seems like Ye, little brother Wang, your understanding of Ancient Martial World is still only on the surface, and do not know how some ancient martial arts sects and families exist, take my Ding Family as an example, although it is not ranked as a first-rate or second-rate family, but the way of life is not too different from others."

"Ding Family is a village that lives in the bottom of Y province, and the name of the village is called Ding Family Village. Of course, because of the large scale of the village, the villages that the villages there have been settled down in for a long time, and also the inner villages and the outer villages, most of the villages are inhabited by ordinary people, while the inner villages are basically villages that live in cultivation, and many of the villagers don't have the qualifications to know the true appearance of the inner villages or the existence of the Ding Family family. These years, as the situation outside has developed, some of them have gone out to study at the university, leaving the Ding Family to study outside the village. Perhaps their child still has the chance to return to the Ding Family Village. "

Indeed, Ye Zi and Wang Shujie had never heard of this before, and it sounded a little strange.

They went out to do business early in the year, but when we reached a certain age, we would bring us back to Ding Family Village to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony of our clan. During the ancestral worship ceremony, there would be inner village elders who would come out and check if any children of the same age had any bones to practice martial arts on, and then I would be very lucky to be left behind. So do you guys think that I grew up in the mountain village? "" "Yes." "" Yes.

Ye Zi laughed and said," That Ding Family Village is a huge clan that has spawned for countless generations, and even Big Brother Ding was unable to imagine such a scene. "Especially the ancestral worship ceremony that Ding Xu mentioned, in their short history of Taoyuan Village, a village with a mixed family name, one would never see such a scene," Then why did the other aristocratic families choose to live in a village? is it not in the city?

"Of course there are. There are also different ways for various families to live in seclusion, especially some families that have emigrated abroad. Some do not even bother to deliberately hide their whereabouts. Compared to sects, aristocratic families lived in a more flexible way. Perhaps, the world would force the main branch into the countryside, but when the time comes for the world to settle down, they would send a portion of their clansmen back to the cities. To cultivate a Martial Cultivator, they would need to invest a lot of resources, and those who do not have the money to support aristocratic families would not be able to survive.

Ye Zi's face turned serious as he clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Ding Tan for your advice. I'm sure these outsiders do not understand."

Although Ye Zi was not as experienced as Ding Xu, he could feel that the reason why he was not as strong was because of the existence of space, which provided him with everything he needed. Otherwise, even if he had the talisman crafting and pill refining skills, what about the materials? How to find it? To rely on himself to gather everything was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Forget about others, just looking at Wang Shujie, ever since he started training in martial arts, his appetite had grown by leaps and bounds, without sufficient food, especially the energy provided by meat, it was difficult to advance on the road of Martial Cultivator. Furthermore, he had also invested a lot in refining his body with various kinds of medicinal herbs.

Ding Xu waved his hand and said, "Ye-zi, sooner or later you'll come into contact with these, and these little things are not worth mentioning. I'm sure Young Master Tang can find out if you ask around."

After the meal, Ye Zi and Wang Shujie sent Ding Xu out together, watching him and his men get on the car and drive away the Taoyuan Village, only then did they look at each other. They did not really understand Ding Xu's purpose in coming here, as if he had specially come to give them the means to survive in the ancient martial arts families, as well as to expose his own history.

"Go back to town and tell your master that perhaps your identity as a senior won't be able to be concealed for long." "Oh right, you should hurry back home as well. You must hurry up and pack up the things that you brought back from the mountain." Ye Zi said as he returned to the yard.

"Got it, I will tell the old man, you don't have to worry too much. The old man still has some skills, he won't be called over so easily by the Chou family." Wang Shujie said optimistically, as he took his bag and basket to bid farewell to Ye Family.

On the other side, the car drove out of Taoyuan Village's range and onto the main road. The driver dressed in black said, "Young Master, did you see anything?"

Ding Xu crossed his legs and looked out the window with one hand on his chin: "I can't see where it came from, but it seems like his cultivation has improved again compared to last time. He felt that Wu Steel could see through my strength, but did you feel anything about Ye Family's courtyard?"

The black clothed driver thought for a moment and said, "It feels very comfortable, similar to the environment in the inner village."

Ding Xu turned around and smiled: "You're still saying it less, the Ye Family's dishes are not ordinary, it's just that the quantity is too small so it's not easy to notice. I believe that if we consume this kind of food over a long period of time, our progress in the martial way will be a little faster."

It was just as the young master had said. Because it was not easy to detect the amount, after the young master's reminder, he discovered that there was indeed a slight change in his internal energy. It was a good change: "Young master, this..."

"Friendly Ye Family! For the time being, you don't have to report back to the clan! " Ding Xu sat up and said seriously.

"Yes, young master." The chauffeur in black listened to Ding Xu's orders.

Ding Xu pondered for a moment, then said: "Buy the fruits and vegetables they grow from Ye Family." He didn't know if Ye Zi knew about this, but if he wasn't, then his actions indirectly reminded him that he wanted to use this opportunity to get on good terms with Ye Zi and not neglect the courtesy on the surface.

"Yes, young master." The black clothed driver's eyes flashed with excitement, he could also benefit from following his young master.

"You don't need to be watched by others in the town. Retreat them so that they won't be discovered." Ding Xu explained again.

"Alright, Young Master, those people are just ordinary people. They won't arouse the suspicion of the Martial Cultivator that lives in there."

"Yes, but it's better to be cautious."

He found out that Ye Zi was an existence that he couldn't see through, so he followed the principle of caution. However, the people he sent were all ordinary people, so they wouldn't attract the Martial Cultivator's attention, this was the experience he gained from interacting with other Martial Cultivator. Normal people could confuse the Martial Cultivator more.

It would take a lot of effort to find out Ye Zi's identity and background, but after further investigation, they found out that there was actually a Martial Cultivator hidden in the town, and it wasn't hard to find out that he had just recently come into contact with Ye Zi.

One look today and he knew that the Martial Cultivator in the town was armed with a blade and he was wounded. Actually, as long as he followed this line up, he wouldn't be able to hide his identity for long, but he gave up on that idea.

However, Ye Zi was completely unaware of Ding Xu's thoughts.

Ye Wenbo walked out of the kitchen, "The customer left? What was the purpose of this Mr. Ding's visit? Oh right, Zi, I only use the dishes on the ground at night, it's not necessary for you to take them out. "

The latter sentence immediately woke Ye Zi up from his stupor. His feet that had stepped onto the doorstep were frozen still. Ye Wenbo was wiping the water droplets on his hands and hurriedly asked when he noticed his grandson's abnormal behavior: "What did Zi think of?"

Ye Zi slowly turned around and lowered his head to think for a moment. He ignored a question that could be very important: "Grandpa, you did the right thing. Luckily you didn't use the dish that I brought out."

Ye Wenbo raised his head in surprise, "Was it a problem with the dishes?"

Ye Zi wasn't completely sure: "I don't know if the people who practice martial arts have any reaction to these dishes, but even if the food outside is effective, it should be very light."

Ye Wenbo was a bit worried: "Then Zi, why don't you remove those things."

"Grandpa doesn't have to worry too much. The amount of spiritual energy contained in the vegetables outside is very little, even if it's useful to the Martial Cultivator, it's limited. I'll go ask Shujie's master next time to see if there's any problem here, and there are some things that can't be avoided."

"Zi said to contact people from Ancient Martial World?" Ye Wenbo calmed down and thought.

"Yes."

Ye Zi was not too worried about himself, but was worried about implicating his grandfather. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to treat Senior Kuang Kun as soon as possible.

Especially the Spirit Accumulating Fluid, he reminded himself, they must not use it, and that was even for Senior Kuang Kun. He would rather give up on the shortcut to study the pill techniques, than to test if the Spirit Accumulating Fluid really had the effect of living corpses and bones.

That night, Tang Lingqiu called. Ye Zi thought for a moment that he would not say anything about Ding Xu's visit, so he decided to wait until the result was out.

He didn't know that Tang Lingqiu had Zhao Jun contact the village's River Technician because he didn't find Ye Zi. Thus, it was very unfortunate … What he was trying to hide had already been revealed.

City S's Tang Lingqiu hung up the phone. His previously gentle smile immediately disappeared as he stared at the small screen with a complicated expression.

Ye Zichen used his phone to knock on his head, but Leaves actually didn't tell him about Ding Xu coming over. Was she worried that Ding Xu would worry about her if she didn't know his intentions?

However, Tang Lingqiu still felt uncomfortable. He thought Ye Zichen would tell him about it over the phone, but … Tang Lingqiu sighed. Was he overconfident in himself?

However, Ding Xu was much more dangerous than others. Who knew what he would do to Ye Zichen. Recently, there were a lot of monsters and monsters around, so he couldn't be blamed for thinking too much.

He dialed his grandfather's number, "Grandfather, appeared by the side of the people from Sheng Family.

"Grandfather doesn't know either?" "Oh, I understand. I will be careful. Grandfather, you don't have to put in too much effort. Rest early."

"Things are becoming more and more interesting." Tang Lingqiu smiled and muttered to himself.

Ye Zi did not know that Tang Lingqiu had an intelligence in the Taoyuan Village and could listen to his movements in the village at any time.

He knew that Technician Jiang was from Tang Lingqiu's company, but he didn't know what Tang Lingqiu was thinking about him. At this point, whether they were of the same sex or of the opposite sex, they all had to prick up their ears like wild beasts, putting on a defensive posture to not let people near their bodies. Even if they couldn't stop them, then they would have to clearly investigate their ancestors' opinions.

If Ye Zi knew, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After he spoke to Tang Lingqiu on the phone, they entered the space. The medicinal herbs needed to concoct the Returning Spring Pill were still growing on the ground, so Ye Zi took a drop of Spirit Accumulating Fluid and placed it in the spout bottle with the spirit spring water. He came to the side of the herb field to water these medicinal herbs, allowing them to grow faster.

He could not withdraw his outstretched hand and wrap himself up into a ball of fear, just like how a hedgehog ball was raised at home. This way, he might never be able to walk out of the circle he drew out and achieve nothing, even with the cultivation method, he would not be able to walk too far on this path. He once envied Shujie's character, which was that he saw him more daring than himself, so he wanted to go all out once again. He was already very careful with what he had, but unless he no longer used space, he would always face this kind of day.

There was no way he could not help the people around him such as Wang Shujie, his grandpa's mother, and Big Brother Tang. Space could bring about danger, but it could also bring about opportunities that could make people crazy.

Ye Zi's heart became firm.

At this moment, his heart seemed to have become more clear, and even his cultivation base had become slightly relaxed.
