Through the world of cultivating immortals, I reached the pinnacle of my life by selling miserable

Chapter 115 Familiar places, familiar people
A month later.

The spiritual energy contained in the spiritual wood automatically dissipates around the body.

The wooden arms and legs gradually turned into layers of sawdust, and then slowly fell off.

The smooth skin inside was exposed, and the jet-black hair was exactly the same as the clothes Madoko wore the day she left.

"Sister Gu Ran!"

A child who looked the same as Xiao Yuanzi fell from mid-air to the ground. He ran to Gu Ran with bare feet, revealing two shiny little tiger teeth.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Gu Ran took Xiao Yuanzi into her arms and rubbed his little nose with her hand affectionately.

During this month, Gu Ran collected memories of Xiao Yuanzi from all the villagers in the village, and instilled them into the spirit wood, which had opened the mind.

Now the spirit wood seems to have become a small round child.

Gu Ran sent him to the middle-aged woman.

The moment she saw her child, the middle-aged woman choked up a bit.

She never thought that she would be able to see her child again.

At that moment, she was a little choked up.

The middle-aged woman stepped forward with hot tears in her eyes, groping for the small round child in front of her.

"My child, my child..."

She couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly hugged Xiao Yuanzi into her arms.

Her tears instantly wet Madoko's shoulders.

Gu Ran stood aside and waited until the middle-aged woman's mood calmed down before she said, "Although Xiao Yuanzi is back, he doesn't like fire, so don't let him get close to the flames."

The middle-aged woman raised her head, wiped the tears on her face, and nodded gratefully: "I remember it... Thank you for sending my child back..."

Mostly because of seeing the child, the middle-aged woman's mood improved a lot, and she no longer hated Gu Ran like she did before.

And Gu Ran also let go of one thing on her mind.

When she returned to her yard, she saw that Lian Qi and Gu Bai were fighting for the last pot of home happy water.

In order to infuse the spirit wood, Gu Ran had not had time to cook for more than a month, so the competition between the two was fierce.

It also opened the eyes of Gu Ran, who had just entered the door. She looked at the two of them up and down, and when she saw the weeds on their bodies, she finally couldn't help laughing.

One is the ancestor of the first immortal sect in the cultivation world, and the other is aloof, who is not pleasing to anyone, and even fights over a bottle of happy water...

Tsk, the combined mental age of the two of them is no more than ten years old...

Gu Ran shook her head gently and sighed again.

Gu Bai was the first to discover Gu Ran, he loosened his hand holding the Happy Water, and was trying so hard that Lian Qi lay down on the spot.

Gu Bai, on the other hand, came to Gu Ran's side in a flash. He stretched out his right hand towards Gu Ran and said, "I have taken care of him for you for so long, and I have worked hard and hard, so I should get some compensation."

Gu Ran glanced at him and said helplessly: "He is five or six years old now, and it's just that a child has a temperament. How can someone your age be like a child."

As she spoke, she took out a food box from the space bracelet and put it in Gu Bai's outstretched palm.

The food in this food box is all cold food with no temperature, which is very in line with Gu Bai's taste.

Gu Bai raised his eyebrows, casually holding the food box, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Oh, it turns out that the disciple of the great cultivator is so stingy, I took care of him so much that I got some food."

The way he sighed and sighed gave Gu Ran the illusion that he was really stingy.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Your Excellency is used to seeing heavy winds and heavy rains, so how could you like me, a little handyman disciple."

"Who said I couldn't see it..."

Gu Bai raised his eyebrows lightly, and brought them close to Gu Ran's ear, and all the heat he exhaled spurted onto Gu Ran's auricle.

It made her feel awkward all over.

"You can try to put your hand up and see if I can take it..."

Before Gu Bai could finish speaking, he felt his right hand suddenly lighten.

He straightened up and took a look, only to realize that Lian Qi ran over and stole the food box in his hand while he was not paying attention.

Lian Qi took the food box and pulled Gu Ran back abruptly. Then, with a small face, he said to Gu Bai very seriously, "You ogre, stay away from Gu Ran."

Listening to him talk like this, it's like taking Gu Bai as a monster that wants to eat people.

Gu Bai walked over, tapped Lian Qi's head with his fan, and said with a smile, "I really hope to see your memory restored now, it must be very pleasing."

He smiled and snatched the food box from Lian Qi's hands, then turned around and disappeared in front of the two of them.

Because he was in a hurry to leave, he didn't know that after he left, Lian Qi had a wronged face, tugged at Gu Ran's sleeve, and said, "Gu Ran, my injury is healed, when can we leave? here."

After these days of getting along, Lian Qi guessed that Gu Bai's identity was unusual.

Not only that, but Gu Bai's identity seemed to be the opposite of Gu Ran's.

If they left the village together, Gu Bai would probably part ways with Gu Ran.

Lian Qi was playing this abacus, and when he thought that he would never see Gu Bai again, his small face wrinkled even more aggrieved.

"Gu Ran, I'm hungry..."

He tugged at the corner of Gu Ran's clothes, looking weak and helpless.

Gu Ran's heart melted at once.

She took out a food box from the space bracelet and stuffed it into Lian Qi's hand, and took out a pot of happy water and stuffed it into Lian Qi's other hand.

"You are growing up now, so you must not be hungry, go and eat."

Gu Ran's face was full of doting smiles.

At this moment, she completely forgot that the person standing in front of her was not really a five- or six-year-old child, but Lian Qi, the ancestor of Lei Ling Sect.

after one day.

Gu Ran felt that it had been so long since they came out, perhaps those people from the cultivator sect had already given up and pursued their ancestors.

Instead, he could sneak back to the Thunder Spirit Sect now and look for the head to rescue the ancestors.

So the three of them just stepped into the road of returning to the sect.

Lian Qi really guessed right, and when Gu Bai heard Gu Ran say he was leaving, his face suddenly became ugly.

But Gu Ran had already made up her mind, and no matter what Gu Bai said, she would not be able to change her mind.

He had to think of a compromise, sent her to the foot of Lei Ling Pai Mountain, and then left on his own.

Of course, there might be some things that could make Gu Ran change her mind during this period.

The three stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village and waved goodbye to the villagers.

Because of the Demon Race thing a while ago, all the villagers were a little reluctant to bear the three of them.

They kept stuffing things into their arms for the three of them.

Gu Bai disliked these mortal things very much, so he didn't take any of them, while Gu Ran and Lian Qi were full of them.

Most are food.

Erniu Niang, who lived next to Gu Ran, took advantage of stuffing Gu Ran with something, and secretly said to her: "Miss Gu, but he forced you to leave... If he really forced you to leave, you can tell Auntie, Auntie will let you go. The villagers chased him away..."

"Ah? Auntie, what did you say?"

Gu Ran was holding the food in her arms, and in the chaotic farewell, she could barely hear a few words clearly.

But she didn't understand the meaning of Er Niu Niang's words.

But Er Niu Niang saw that she didn't hear clearly, so she increased the volume a bit, and shouted in her ear, "Miss Gu, I asked you if Gu Bai bullied you, he insisted on forcing you. The girls get out of here..."

"Ah? No, no, Auntie, did you misunderstand something?"

"Miss Gu, don't be afraid of him. All the villagers of us are supporting you. If there is anything, you must speak up! How does he usually treat your mother-in-law? All of us see it!"

Er Niu Niang's words were echoed by the surrounding villagers, and Gu Bai and Lian Qi also listened to them.

Gu Bai's face turned gloomy immediately. He grabbed Gu Ran's arm and dragged her from Er Niu Niang to him.

But Er Niu Niang was still fearless, she followed two steps forward and continued to persuade: "Miss Gu, if you think your orphans and widows cannot survive, I can let Er Niu take care of you..."

"And Er Niu has a good relationship with this child, and he will definitely be nice to him..."

This time, not only Gu Bai, but also Lian Qi's face darkened.

He stepped forward, stood in front of Gu Ran, and in a somewhat immature voice, said something old-fashioned: "How could she be something you ordinary people can think of."

This sentence silenced all the villagers present, and Er Niu Niang stood awkwardly and rubbed her hands.

After a long while, she stammered, "You... look at this child... heh... he must have been... frightened by his stepfather..."

Gu Ran was about to open her mouth to make a round, when Gu Bai, who was behind her, said indifferently, "He's telling the truth. You mortals who can't even deal with monsters are really not worthy of her."

This is the first time he agrees with Lian Qi.

The villagers present looked at each other in dismay, and they all knew the truth of what Gu Bai said.

Er Niuniang wanted to struggle, but was pulled back by the two villagers behind her.

They persuaded in a low voice, "Er Niu Niang, Miss Gu is someone who wants to become a big shot. Your Er Niu should still have this heart to die."

Er Niu Niang lowered her head and sighed, and finally recognized the fact.

When she raised her head again, the three Gu Ran in front of her had long since disappeared.

The three of them kept going in the direction of Lei Ling Sect.

In order to hide their eyes and ears, the three chose a low-key walk.

It wasn't until after walking for half a day that Gu Ran sneaked up to Gu Bai and said to him through a voice transmission: "The tone and state of the old ancestor are very similar to normal. You don't think he has recovered his memory, right?"

Gu Bai glanced at Lianqi, then smiled: "Don't worry, he hasn't recovered his memory yet. If it was normal, he wouldn't walk with me so calmly for half a day."

Seeing him talking about this, Gu Ran's curiosity suddenly arose.

She knew that the ancestor would never tell her about his entanglement with Gu Bai, but Gu Bai might be able to satisfy her curiosity.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help clearing her throat and asked, "By the way, I always feel like there is an endless hatred between you and the ancestor."

"What kind of hatred is it that makes you two... the boss care so much? Could it be the pain of losing a wife, or the hatred of taking a child?"

There are only two kinds of huge hatred that Gu Ran can imagine. She blurted out before she had time to think.

Gu Bai suddenly stopped and stared at her.

After staring at her quite uncomfortable, she sneered: "The ancestors of the Lei Ling faction practiced the ruthless way, and I haven't married yet, so why not have children."

"Even if I marry a wife and have children in the future, I will not compete with me if I practice the Unfeeling Dao Cultivation Technique and cut off my emotions and desires."

He said it very seriously, and there was something in his eyes that Gu Ran couldn't understand.

She nodded dumbly, and then asked: "Even so, what are the reasons for you..."

"Snapped--"

Hearing a soft sound, Gu Bai actually tapped a fan on Gu Ran's forehead.

He stopped Gu Ran's words: "There are some things, it is better not to know."

"Oh……"

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows and said she knew.

The three walked for another half a day, and the sun slanted westward.

Gu Ran was surprised to find that this place looked familiar.

She thought about it, and immediately understood.

Isn't this the same village where he and his ancestor lived for a few days?

At that time, I also met two old people who were like my grandma and grandpa!

Seeing a familiar place, the memory of the past suddenly flooded into my heart.

Gu Ran couldn't help but sighed silently in her heart.

My ancestors and I were too bad luck. Before the auction, I lost my memory because of the pain, but after the auction, because of the injury, he not only lost his memory but also shrunk into a child...

Standing at the foot of the mountain, she looked at several small houses in the distance, and suddenly had the urge to go and see the two old men again.

As long as the two old people are living well, it is as if their grandparents are still alive.

"Tired of walking? Want to rest?"

Gu Bai frowned slightly as he looked at her hesitant appearance.

He was about to say, otherwise Yu Jian would fly for a while, and then Gu Ran before meeting him nodded solemnly.

"Anyway, it's on the way. I want to go to the village ahead to ask for saliva."

Gu Bai and Lian Qi had no objection to this, so the three of them deviated slightly from the original direction and walked towards the small houses.

As the three of them got closer, Gu Bai's brows became deeper and deeper.

Perhaps Gu Ran and Lian Qi didn't notice that a faint layer of black air was drifting over the small houses.

It's just that the black gas and the cooking smoke merged together and disappeared after a while, making it difficult to see the real thing.

Gu Bai didn't tell Gu Ran what he found, but clenched the folding fan tightly, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

But what he didn't expect was that nothing strange happened until the houses were near.

"Squeak--" There was a soft sound.

Then I saw that the door of the outermost house was suddenly opened from the inside.

An old woman came out slowly carrying a basket of rapeseeds.

Gu Ran was a little excited when she saw this familiar face.

She cleared her throat, eased her mood again, and then stepped forward and stopped the old woman.

"Grandma!"

Her loud voice made the old woman take a few steps back.

Fortunately, Lian Qi was beside him with quick eyes and quick hands, so he quickly supported the old woman and stopped her retreating tendency.

The old woman squinted and stared at Gu Ran for a long while before she regained her senses and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Ran?!"

The moment she recognized Gu Ran, the wrinkles on the old woman's face were reduced a bit.

She enthusiastically pulled Gu Ran into the yard and shouted, "Old man, come out and see who is coming!"

Lian Qi felt that the old woman was very familiar, and subconsciously thought that this was someone he knew before he lost his memory, so he followed him into the yard.

Gu Bai fell at the end, looking up and down the yard and the old woman.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Wait! Don't go in yet!"
