Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

It is better to give a real object to this thing.

"I……"

Seeing the girl's distressed face, Ye Chen continued: "This gold can be given to the blacksmith in the village to make an ornament. It can also be used as a dowry in the future, so the girl can accept it."

The girl looked at the golden piece of gold in his hand and said, "It's not that I didn't tell you...it's that I really don't know where the Xuanmen is..."

Hong Li became impatient, and said impatiently: "After a long time, she doesn't know!"

Isn't this a waste of everyone's time!

Ye Chen said: "It's okay, you can accept it first, can you take us to ask other villagers?"

Now the girl is willing to take the piece of gold that Ye Chen handed over.

She hid the gold in her bosom, and said falteringly: "Then I... take you to ask our patriarch..."

The girl led everyone around the village and came to a house that was larger than ordinary houses. She knocked on the door and said a few words in a dialect that no one could understand.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a young guy open the door.When the young man opened the door and saw a bunch of strangers, he panicked and was about to close the door quickly, but Hong Li quickly pulled the door shut.

Ye Chen said politely: "We have no malicious intentions, just want to ask where the Xuanmen is."

The girl who brought everyone together said: "Brother Zhao, they just came to ask for directions..."

Only then did the young man feel relieved, and said, "Then... I'll go and invite grandpa over."

After waiting for a while, the young man came out with an elderly grandpa.

The old man asked: "Who are you?"

Li Daoyun said respectfully: "We are disciples of Beiming Holy Land, please come out just to ask where the Xuanmen is..."

The old man looked at the group of strangers suspiciously, and asked: "What are you looking for from Xuanmen?"

"Xuanmen arrested several disciples from our Beiming Holy Land..."

The old man said worriedly: "There are so many Taoist disciples, I'm afraid you..."

Hong Li was disdainful, and proudly said: "So what, even the suzerain Xuanqing, he was killed by us as well!"

Xuanqing is dead, the only ones left in the sect are useless people, why should we be afraid?

Upon hearing these words, the old man stared at Hong Li, and asked with a look of disbelief, "You...killed the sect master of Xuanmen?"

Ye Chen said: "Of course, now that Xuanqing has been eliminated, you don't have to hide in this mountain depression anymore."

"Really!" The old man looked at Ye Chen excitedly.

Even the young man and the girl at the side looked at each other with an indescribable look in their eyes.

Ye Chen nodded: "Really."

"Hey……"

No one expected that the old man, who heard the good news, let out a long sigh as long as he was not happy.

This made Ye Chen very puzzled, and he asked: "Xuan Qing, who did a lot of evil in Nanman, died, aren't you happy?"

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this expression, and Ye Chen, the peak master and his disciples behind him couldn't understand it either.

The old man was suddenly full of grief and indignation, and sighed: "Why should I be happy, what if the next suzerain goes too far?"

Yes, no one knows whether the future will be easy, and how can they be happy?

Ye Chen finally understood his worry, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it won't happen again..."

The old man turned around, ready to leave.

Ye Chen hurriedly called him: "You haven't told me how to get to Xuanmen?"

The old man stopped in his tracks, leaving only one sentence: "Let's go, walk west along the Heihe River from dawn, until dark, you can see Xuanmen..."

"Thank you."

……

After asking the way, everyone hurriedly embarked on the journey to find the Xuanmen.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any monsters along the way. After climbing a few hills, I came to the wide black river.

It was early morning at this time, and the fog shrouded the top of the mountain, white mountains and black waters, just like an ink painting.

The turbid black water of the river exuded a very stench. Everyone followed the old man's words, covered their noses, and walked westward along the river.

Xia Wan'er complained: "Uh... so uncomfortable..."

The stench of the river made her dizzy.

Ruan Xingfei, who was already a bit of a clean freak, frowned and said nothing along the way.

Where has she suffered such hardship before?Now I can only be patient, endure the smell, follow the team, and move forward.

Ye Chen comforted: "Hey, if you persist, you will..."

It is also impossible now.

Jiang Lin leaned over, handed the two of them two small pills, and said with a smile, "How about trying this?"

Xia Wan'er took the pill in her hand and looked it over carefully, but she still couldn't tell what it was with her experience, so she asked Jiang Lin, "What is this?"

Jiang Lin looked smug, and said, "You'll know after eating."

Seeing that Xia Wan'er was about to throw the pill into her mouth, Ye Chen stopped her and said, "Don't eat what others give you."

Jiang Lin said helplessly, "Brother Ye, we've known each other for a few days, are we considered someone else?"

Ye Chen took the pill from Xia Wan'er's hand, looked at it carefully, and saw that there were no side effects, so he gave it back to her. He said, "I'm teaching her, don't trust others easily when encountering such a situation..."

Because Xia Wan'er was inexperienced, pure and kind, Ye Chen was worried like an old father, for fear that she would be sold by others one day and count the money for others.

Xia Wan'er looked at Ye Chen obediently, and said, "Then... Master, I will ask you first when encountering such a situation in the future!"

"Well, that's right."

Xia Wan'er looked at the blue pill that looked like it was coated with sugar, and was still very curious. She asked, "Then what is this, can you eat it?"

Seeing Ye Chen nodding, she took the pill.

The taste of the pill is cool with a touch of sweetness, in the mouth, like a mint.

"It's delicious..."

Jiang Lin couldn't help sighing: "Haha, brother Ye, you are really cute."

After taking this pill, Xia Wan'er felt that she could no longer smell the stench from the Black River.

Ye Chen took another pill from Jiang Lin's hand, handed it to Ruan Xingfei, and said lightly, "Try it, it won't hurt after taking this."

Although I don't know what Jiang Lin used to refine this pill, but at least it has no side effects, and after taking it, I can't feel the stench in a short time.

Ruan Xingfei was dubious, seeing that Xia Wan'er stopped covering her nose, she took the pill and swallowed it directly.

After a while, she really couldn't smell the stench from Heihe anymore.Not only that, but she could faintly smell several kinds of strange flower scents mixed together.

"This is?"

Jiang Lin proudly said, "I specially made this from hundreds of flowers. After eating it, you can smell the fresh aroma."

Ye Chen said calmly: "Then you are really boring."

No normal person would be bored practicing this thing.

Jiang Lin looked into the distance and said faintly, "Hey, Brother Ye, you don't understand..."

Ruan Xingfei was puzzled, and asked, "Could it be that someone is forcing you to practice?"
