A door of convenience opened, and darkness greeted him. There was a faint line of stars overhead, but that tiny bit of light was not enough to dispel the darkness.
This is Chen Pingdao's hiding place, located in the secret cave of the Black Horn tribe in Gangde, Africa.
Bai Jing waved her hand, and the Bitter Sea Lantern flew out from her hand and floated above everyone's heads. The jumping firelight suddenly illuminated a large space.
Whoosh!
An arrow suddenly flew over and headed straight for the lantern in the sea of suffering.
Bai Jing waved her hand violently, and the suffering lamp swayed to the side to avoid the arrow.
Ning Tao said loudly: "Senior Chen, what do you mean? I brought my family to visit you, but you entertained us with arrows. Since you don't welcome us so much, let's go, and then send a message to Moments What… "
Before Ning Tao could finish his words, Chen Pingdao's voice came over: "Can't you just let me stay here quietly? Just do it yourself. You brought so many people here. What on earth do you want to do?" ah?"
Chen Pingdao walked out of the woods, holding a bow in his hand and a quiver full of arrows on his shoulder. Wearing coarse linen clothes and long gray hair, he looks a bit like a Qin archer in this outfit. However, there was no trace of the archer's aura on his face, only an angry but helpless expression.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Senior Chen, I haven't seen you for a while, and you look much better. I came here to take refuge, and I hope that Senior Chen will take me and my family in."
Chen Pingdao suddenly made a long face and refused flatly: "I think you are bringing your girlfriend here for vacation? No, no!"
"Woof woof woof!" The barking dog suddenly rushed out from behind Ning Tao and barked at Chen Pingdao.
Chen Pingdao's eyes moved to Roaring Sky Dog, and a smile suddenly appeared on his elongated face. He said to Roaring Sky Dog: "Gouzi, come here."
Roaring Sky Dog said: "What are you doing here? Are you gay?"
Just this sentence made Chen Pingdao so shocked that he was stunned for a long time before he said: "It, it... is not a dog demon, how can it speak human language? What kind of dog is it?"
Ning Tao smiled and said, "It's a long story. How about we go to your house to make a cup of tea and chat while we drink?"
Chen Pingdao smiled bitterly and said: "Although you helped me escape, it seems that you have become my trouble now. No matter what, there is a cause and a result. I will not be able to escape your retribution after all. You and your family can stay if you want." Yes, but you have to build your own house, and you are not allowed to come to my house except for it." He pointed at the Roaring Dog.
Ning Tao said: "Qing Zhui, Hao Hao, Sister Bai, and Senior Yin, take a look around and build a house wherever you like. This place is full of spiritual energy and suitable for training. You can also come and stay for a while in summer and winter. To escape the heat and cold." Then he added, "Xiaotian, come with me, let's go sit at Senior Chen's house."
"Okay, Dad." Roaring Sky Dog said. It had been observing Chen Pingdao while speaking. For some reason, it also had an inexplicable feeling of intimacy towards Chen Pingdao.
Qing Zhui, Jiang Hao, Bai Jing, and Yin Molan each bowed slightly to Chen Pingdao to say hello to the owner of the room, and then strolled to choose a location to build a house. The three women were chatting and laughing, and Yin Molan was holding Hu Xiaoji while chatting. There was no sense of "escape" tension in the whole family.
Ning Tao brought Roaring Dog to Chen Pingdao's home, and then entered a thatched hut. There is a coffee table and a mattress to sit on in the room. It looks like it is a tea room dedicated to drinking tea.
Chen Pingdao brewed three cups of tea, including one for Roaring Sky Dog. After putting the tea cups away, he looked at Roaring Sky Dog and said, "Gouzi, why don't you just stay here with me and be my companion. I make delicious food for you every day.”
The roaring dog's mouth was slightly cracked, with a seemingly disdainful expression: "Old man, do you have wifi here? Is there a mobile network or telecommunications broadband?"
Chen Pingdao shook his head.
Roaring Sky Dog said: "Then what are you doing here? You can't use your mobile phone, let alone play TikTok. However, if daddy and mistress come to live here, I will come and play with you. ”
Only then did Chen Pingdao have a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, you are welcome to stay here for a long time and come to play often."
His reaction was what Ning Tao had expected. Taoist Tengu. Just from this title, it is not difficult to tell that this guy is a shit-sweeper in the world of cultivation who loves dogs as much as his life.
After chatting for a while and drinking a few sips of tea, Chen Pingdao changed the topic to more serious matters: "You said you were fleeing this time. What happened?"
Ning Tao briefly told the story of rescuing the hostages in the Holy Mountain and then destroying Wu Yue's flying sword weapon in front of the clinic, and then said: "That's what happened. Wu Yue and Nicholas Conti both wanted to take advantage of me." I am no match for either of these two people to take away the prescription. I can escape easily, but my family cannot, so I brought them here to take shelter for the rest of the month. I can pay the rent, and during this time I can collect spiritual materials and refine the Ancestral Pill."
Chen Pingdao said worriedly: "Those enemies you mentioned, won't they find this place?"
Ning Tao said: "Probably not. If you want me to leave early, then help me."
When Chen Pingdao heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "I hate fighting and killing the most. I will not go out to fight with you. Don't mention it again."
Ning Tao smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to face Nicholas Conde or Wu Yue with me. You don't help me fight, but you can help me find spiritual materials. You have lived for more than two thousand years, and you have been to many places There are many, and you must know better than me where to find the spiritual materials. For example, where should I find true ambergris? "
Chen Pingdao thought for a while and then said: "This is actually a very simple question. If you think about it carefully, you will know the answer. Our nation claims to be the descendants of the dragon. Our sea is called the East China Sea. There are also many folk legends about the Dragon King of the East China Sea. , you can definitely find the real ambergris if you go to the East China Sea.”
Chen Pingdao's words gave Ning Tao a sense of clarity. He also thought of a character, the shark spirit Yang Sheng, whom Zhang Chengdong, the imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty, met last time. If he goes to Yang Sheng, he can probably get real ambergris!
Chen Pingdao said: "What other spiritual materials do you need? Give me a list and I will tell you where to find them. There is a reason why I live in seclusion here. There are many spiritual materials in this land. I think I can probably I’ll help you get the spiritual materials you need within a few days.”
Ning Tao said politely: "I knew that Senior Chen could help, so I will write you a list right now."
Chen Pingdao said: "Although I have escaped from the clinic, I can still be regarded as the former owner of the clinic. I do not have the ability to run the clinic, but you have such ability. I don't want to see you die. I hope you will continue to run the clinic." Go down and see how high you can take it."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth, and the resentment against Chen Pingdao in his heart dissipated. He opened the small medicine box and took out a regular prescription book and started writing a list.
Half an hour later, Ning Tao appeared alone in the stone house next to the waterfall at the end of the Black Horn Tribe. He left a blood lock in the stone house, and no one dared to erase the blood lock.
There are a lot of precious medicinal and spiritual materials piled in the stone house, and the quantity is considerable. Ning Tao had not been here since he took away some precious medicinal and spiritual materials from this stone house last time. After some time passed, the people of the Black Horn tribe collected so much for him. There are actually two spiritual materials needed to refine the new version of the Ancestor-Seeking Pill, which is really a timely help.
Ning Tao was overjoyed: "I won't take your things for nothing. Go back and discuss with Bai Jing. China Charity Company will use the Black Horn Tribe as its overseas base and take root in the land of Africa."
He was not in a hurry to bring these precious medicinal and spiritual materials back to Tianwai Clinic, so he walked out. He took refuge here at home and said hello to Chen Pingdao. Naturally, he also wanted to meet Chief Eagle.
In the dark corner of the night, the sky is as clean as water, and countless stars twinkle in the dark blue sky. It seems to be a mysterious language that tells the secrets of the universe to all living beings. If you could decipher it, you might be able to know everything.
Ning Tao felt something in his heart, but he couldn't express it. Human beings are extremely small to this universe. Even a cultivating doctor like him is just a speck of dust in the sea of stars, let alone those ordinary people who work nine to five
Where is the fairyland
Is the fairy world a more advanced civilization
Will there be a higher level world and civilization above the fairy world
None of this is known.
Throughout the ages, countless cultivators and demons have practiced hard, contending with and fighting against heaven, in order to unravel these mysteries and see the "truth."
Unconsciously, he arrived at the settlement of the Black Horn Tribe. Ning Tao saw several tribal warriors patrolling at night, and those tribal warriors also saw him. A tribal warrior ran to inform Chief Eagle, and the remaining tribal warriors actually put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, muttering something.
Ning Tao couldn't understand what they were talking about, but he also guessed that the tribal warriors regarded him as a god and knelt down to worship him. He stepped forward and helped several tribal warriors up one by one, and then walked towards Chief Eagle's royal tent surrounded by several tribal warriors. Several tribal warriors shouted while walking, and more and more Black Horn people came out of their respective houses, shouting and walking around Ning Tao, and the team became larger and larger.
Before Ning Tao arrived at the royal tent of the Black Horn Tribe, Chief Eagle came over, wearing a tiger skin and holding a scepter inlaid with bones and gems. He plopped down in front of Ning Tao and knelt down.
Ning Tao stretched out his hand to help Chief Xiong Xiongying up and said in English: "Chief Xiongying, my wives and I are going to stay here for a while. Is there no problem?"
Chief Eagle respectfully said, "You are our protector, and your wife is naturally our goddess. You can stay here as long as you want."
The following night is destined to be a carnival night full of singing and dancing.
