It rained at dawn, and then the sky cleared up after the rain. The rain washed the sky, and a rising sun appeared in the eastern sky, cloudless and brilliant.
The weather in Guiyang is so strange. The rain falls and stops whenever it wants. The sky is never clear for three days and the land is never three feet flat. This is what Guizhou is talking about.
A sudden rain made the hillside muddy, but Ning Tao still dug Wu Yue's grave, and then used local materials to make a simple coffin for her, and buried her in the coffin. Rest in peace.
For him to be able to do this in a fight with his enemies is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous thing he can do.
Wu Yue left some relics, and Jiang Hao sorted out her relics. There was a cell phone, a wallet, and some odds and ends.
No need for Ning Tao to explain anything, Jiang Hao began to search for clues on the phone.
After all, he is an agent from the Bureau of Special Affairs, so he is naturally familiar with doing this kind of thing.
Ning Tao did not urge her to ask her questions. He erected another stone tablet for Wu Yue, and then used a bullet in his flesh to carve the epitaph on the stone tablet, "The Tomb of the Fairy Wu Yue of Zetian."
"Husband, we originally came to Wu Yue to cooperate. Now that she is dead, what should we do?" Bai Jing asked.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either. I really can't figure out why she would rather die than cooperate with me?"
Qing Zhui said: "When we chased into the temple, I saw the stone in her hand, which was the Guigu Pill. She had prepared everything a long time ago. I'm afraid even Lin Qinghua didn't expect her. will make this choice.”
"Maybe... something happened to her." Ning Tao said.
This is just a guess. Wu Yue suddenly came here, first asked for Guigu Pill, and then found the Golden Guzi You Xiangjiu. Now it seems like all this was planned early on, but why she did this, I'm afraid no one can find the answer.
Jiang Hao came to Ning Tao with his mobile phone: "Honey, look at this."
Ning Tao leaned over, Qing Zhui and Bai Jing also leaned over, staring at the small screen.
It was a screenshot of a map with a red line drawing a circle on it.
The place in that sign circle was familiar to Ning Tao. It was the Taiping Temple outside Chang'an City.
"What does she mean?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.
Ning Tao thought for a while and then said: "Let's go take a look when we return to Chang'an. Anyway, that place is not far from where we live now."
He took Wu Yue's cell phone and looked through the contacts, but found that there was not even a single contact in it. The call history of the mobile phone is also blank, and the text message box does not contain a single text message. It feels like a new mobile phone.
Jiang Hao said: "Husband, give me your phone. I'll take it back and let the technicians do it. It may be possible to recover some of the things she deleted. I may not be able to find any valuable clues."
Ning Tao nodded and handed the phone back to Jiang Hao.
The family of four went down the hillside, entered a bamboo forest, and then walked a while further to Jiang Xiaodong's residence.
Jiang Xiaodong did not follow to bury Wu Yue because Ren Changjiu was seriously injured and needed his care. After Ning Tao's family came back from burying someone, he was selecting spiritual materials for Xiao Changjiu, preparing to refine elixirs to nourish Qi and blood. In fact, a human-grade prescription pill given by Ning Tao was enough, but it was Ning Tao's pill after all. As a senior brother, he also wanted to do something for his junior sister. Doing nothing would be a bit unjustifiable.
"Brother Jiang, you're busy." Ning Tao greeted.
"You are all back, come on, come in and sit in the room, I will make tea for you." Jiang Xiaodong was very enthusiastic.
Ning Tao said: "Don't bother, let's say goodbye to Brother Jiang."
Wu Yue is dead and the cooperation is not possible, but at least one of Lin Qinghua's arms is broken. It is hard to say whether this trip to Guizhou was a success or a failure. It can only be regarded as a little gain. Now it is time to go back.
Upon hearing that Ning Tao was leaving, Jiang Xiaodong's face suddenly showed a disappointed expression: "Leaving so soon? I told you not to be so anxious. The mountains and rivers in Guizhou are beautiful. Look at the water here before leaving. It won’t be too late, so I can do my best to be a landlord. If you don’t mind, you can stay here for a few days and I’ll take you to see Liupanshui and Huangguoshu Waterfalls, which are very spectacular.”
Ning Tao smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to be polite. If I am free, I will definitely stay and let you take me to see the beautiful scenery in Guizhou. But there are some things that cannot be delayed. We have a long time to come. I will have time in the future I will definitely come to you. If you are free, come to Chang'an and see me. I will be in Daxue Lane. If you come to Chang'an and you look for Li Xiazi's massage parlor, that's my place."
A strange expression appeared on Jiang Xiaodong's face: "Li Xiazi Massage Shop? Brother Ning, you... are actually in the health care business?"
The three women from the Ning family couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Ning Tao was a little embarrassed: "That's just a sign, to hide it from others."
At this moment, You Xiangjiu's voice suddenly came from a room: "Brother, please invite Mr. Ning En to come in. I have something to tell him."
Her voice was still very weak, but the people in the yard, who were not normal people, could hear her clearly.
Ning Tao was a little surprised by her title of "Ning En Gong". He just gave her a human-level prescription pill, and there was no special treatment. In fact, there was no need, because Wu Yue's sword avoided her vitals, and it seemed like a horrific wound through the chest, but in fact it was nothing serious, so the title "Benefactor" made him feel a little ashamed.
"Brother Ning, I'll take you there." Jiang Xiaodong said, taking Ning Tao's hand and walking towards the room.
Jiang Hao, Qing Zhui and Bai Jing followed. They also wanted to hear what Xiao Xiangjiu wanted to say to their man.
Jiang Xiaodong opened the door, but did not enter. He stayed at the door.
Ning Tao walked in.
You Xiangjiu was lying on a simple wooden bed, covered with a quilt, his face slightly pale. Although the human-level prescription pill had a strong healing and nourishing effect on her injuries, she had lost too much blood and it would still take a period of time to recover.
"Ning Engong, please sit on the bedside." You Changjiu didn't care at all about the three women from the Ning family standing at the door, and their slightly murderous gazes.
Jiang Xiaodong coughed, as if to remind his junior sister something.
You Xiangjiu glanced at Jiang Xiaodong: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiaodong: "..."
This wooden fish head!
If you invite someone to sit on your bedside in front of their three wives, aren't you afraid of getting beaten
Ning Tao smiled, moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, and said straight to the point: "Young Taoist friend, what do you want to say to me?"
You Xiangjiu said: "Ning En Gong, I want to make friends with you."
Ning Tao: "..."
The three women from the Ning family all had confused expressions on their faces.
Isn't this too arrogant
"Uh-huh!" Jiang Xiaodong coughed again, this time louder.
You Xiangjiu glanced at Jiang Xiaodong again: "Did I say it was you? If you are really uncomfortable, give yourself some medicine."
Guizhou dialect is spoken.
Fortunately, for the Yungui Kawamoto family, Ning Tao, a mountain town native, sounds stress-free.
Jiang Xiaodong closed his mouth, neither coughing nor speaking.
Ning Tao couldn't help but look back at his three wives.
The three women looked at each other in three different ways: Jiang Hao was glaring, Bai Jing was teasing, and Qing Zhui was curious.
And he was confused.
"Ning En Gong, I want to follow you." You Xiangjiu said something again.
It’s so unsatisfactory!
Even Qing Zhui couldn't hold back his anger and glanced at Jiang Hao, which seemed to mean, why don't you speak
Jiang Hao coughed.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell too?" You Xiangjiu looked at Jiang Hao.
"My fist is itchy." Jiang Hao said.
You Xiangjiu asked curiously: "My fist is itchy, what's wrong with it?"
Jiang Hao: "..."
In fact, if it were another woman, such as Wu Yue, who said these words to Ning Tao in front of her, she would have already rushed up and started tearing her apart. But this Xiao Xiangjiu is so innocent and not pretentious at all. She is so jealous that she doesn't get upset at all.
Ning Tao endured the headache: "Well... Fellow Daoist Ren, your senior brother and I are friends, and you are also my friend. Also, what did you mean when you said you wanted to follow me?"
You Xiangjiu said: "It's not just me, I want to take my senior brother with me to follow you, and we can do great things with you."
Ning Tao couldn't help but look back at Jiang Xiaodong. What surprised him was that Jiang Xiaodong actually smiled at him.
You Xiangjiu said: "Ning Engong, don't look at him. My senior brother obeys me in all matters."
Ning Tao couldn't help but laugh: "Really?"
Jiang Xiaodong smiled and concealed the embarrassment in his heart: "Of course it's not true, but I also want to follow you, brother Ning, to have a career, so junior sister brought it up, which is exactly what I want. If brother Ning doesn't dislike it, junior sister and I will Following you."
"Why are you following me?" Ning Tao asked.
You Xiangjiu said: "I heard that Wu Yue said a lot about you, and I know what you are doing. My senior brother and I followed you to fight against that Lin Qinghua and capture Zu Dan's elixir. My senior brother said that you are a human being Honest and loyal, you can capture the elixir, refine the elixir, and give one to me and my senior brother."
Ning Tao only thought for a few seconds and then nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. Come to Chang'an to find me when you recover from your injuries."
If it was just a long time ago, he probably wouldn't agree, but Jiang Xiaodong is different. He is very knowledgeable in Qimen Dunjia and rune formations. If he joins, he will learn a lot.
He got up and left.
"Why are you leaving? I haven't talked about business yet." You Xiangjiu called out.
Ning Tao said in surprise: "Isn't what you just said serious?"
You Xiangjiu said: "Of course not. What I want to say is related to Lin Qinghua, and it is a big thing."
Ning Tao asked like this: "What do you know?"
