I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 43 Staying in a Mountain Village
There are 24 states in Daqian, each state has vast land and different mountains and rivers.

Because there is a waterway along Ningzhou, Jiang Wen and others decided to take a boat to Ningzhou after discussion.So as not to delay things due to dangers on the road.

Along the Linjiang River, we passed by Lijia Village and Changping Village.It will be five days before we cross Jingyuan City in Qingzhou.

He figured that he didn't have much time left. If he was forced to be teleported back, he would ask Mo Xiang and others to wait for him where he was.A person will travel much faster than he does now. At that time, he will definitely buy an off-road motorcycle and put several tons of gasoline in the storage bag.Running hundreds or thousands of miles in a day is not a problem.

But halfway through, the boat was forced to stop due to poor water conditions.Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang stepped off the boat and listened to the boatman saying that there was a river monster making waves ahead and that the boats were temporarily not allowed to sail.

In desperation, a few people could only choose to travel by carriage and land.

The official road in Daqian is flat, and riding on the carriage is not very bumpy.With the pillows and cushions brought out, the ride for a few people can be considered comfortable.Jiang Wen had to sigh that the storage bag was really a good thing.If he brought this thing back to reality, he couldn't imagine what kind of sensation it would cause.

He also consulted Li Yunshang about this matter, and the girl told him that storage bags can only be made by monks above the life fire realm.The material used is the rare Sumeru stone.This kind of stone is only found in Sumeru Realm and is difficult to see in the mortal world.

Although it is not difficult for a monk to buy a storage bag, making one yourself is extremely cumbersome.It involves formation characterization, weapon refining, etc.

She suggested that if Jiang Wen wanted to make his own storage bag, he would need to learn weapon refining and formation techniques.

"If you escort me to Ningzhou, I can also give you the method of making this storage bag." Li Yunshang said seductively.

"It's a deal." Jiang Wen nodded fiercely. He was really eager to make the storage bag.

The day's journey was uneventful. Li Yunshang and his two sisters lay on the cushions and watched TV series on the tablet.As a diversion on the road, Journey to the West also successfully attracted her attention.Li Yunshang loves Brother Monkey very much. The only thing that makes her dissatisfied is that the appearance of Brother Monkey flying in the clouds and mist is not very good.

“That’s not how flying works!”

"Why is this fighting style so weird?"

"This Wuzhishan is quite interesting, why do you want to suppress me, the Great Sage?!"

Jiang Wen's ears pricked when he heard it, and he didn't want to explain Li Yunshang's complaints.After all, other people are filming TV series, and they can’t really fly in the clouds.

Having experienced flying with a sword, Jiang Wen naturally knew that the feeling of unrestrained flying could not be expressed in TV series.Only when you experience it yourself can you understand why mortals yearn for flying.

When one day he learns to fly with a sword, he will definitely start a real-life business of flying people.At that time, each person will be charged 80 million, and there must be many swindlers willing to pay this fee.

Jiang Wen thought so freely as the carriage passed through the undulating mountains and forests.The coachman shouted and sang folk songs, and then said loudly to the people in the carriage: "Ladies and gentlemen, it will get dark soon. Should we find a place to stay or continue on our way?"

"Let's find a place to stay. It's difficult to travel in the dark, so safety is the most important thing." Jiang Wen responded to the coachman's words, and the coachman smiled and said yes.

Before the sun set, several people arrived in front of a house in a mountain village.

The lights in the house were lit, and the coachman drove the carriage slowly into the yard.When the two local dogs saw a stranger coming, they howled a few times, and then were scolded by the owner in the house.

"You're a motherless beast, you know how to bark every day!"

An old woman came out cursing, holding a basin and looking at the people who got off the carriage.

Perhaps it was because he saw a few people dressed neatly, and the old woman's wrinkled face showed a happy smile.

"I heard a magpie chirping today. It turns out that a distinguished guest is here." The old woman said, twisting her waist and walking over.Looking at the youngest Shuxiang showing a loving smile, he reached out to touch Shuxiang's face but Shuxiang avoided it.

She was not angry, and saluted with a smile: "Are these distinguished guests coming to stay at my place?"

Jiang Wen looked at the old woman and felt that she must have a young heart.She must have been a stunningly beautiful woman when she was young, but even now that she is gray and gray, she still can't conceal her charming manners.

"Auntie, these are noble people. It's not too late, and it's still a day's journey from the county seat. No one wants to live in a shabby house like yours." The coachman joked, which made the old woman feel uneasy. happy.

However, the old woman was not annoyed with him. Instead, she welcomed Jiang Wen and others into the house with a smile.

Jiang Wen looked at the relationship between the two people and understood that the coachman and the old woman were acquaintances.It is understandable when I think that the coachman should often sleep here.

After all, only when acquaintances invite acquaintances to do business can the business scope be broad.

Following the old woman into the house, she saw that the house was clean and spacious.There are three rooms, so there is no shortage of places to stay.

In the front hall of the house, a pale child was sitting at the table playing with a box.No one disturbed him when they came in, and they didn't even raise their heads.Jiang Wen stared at the child and frowned slightly.

In his field of vision, the child's whole body was wrapped in black mist.

Logically speaking, a child riddled with evil spirits like this should have died long ago.How come you can still sit in the house and play with things happily?

Jiang Wen didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask rashly.After all, this is someone else's business and has nothing to do with him.

"Yanyan, we have a guest. Go back to your room and play, don't disturb the guest." The old woman patted the child on the head, and the child shook his head.Then he turned around and stared at the old woman expressionlessly, making an oh sound from his mouth.

He jumped off the chair with the box in his arms and stumbled towards the house.The whole behavior was weird, which aroused Jiang Wen's suspicion.

He secretly took out the ghost-repelling charm and tested it, and found that there was nothing unusual about the ghost-repelling charm.Obviously there are no ghosts in this house.

"It's a bit strange." Jiang Wen muttered in his heart and wrote down this strange thing.

He asked the old woman about the price of accommodation and paid some extra money.The old woman happily ran into the kitchen and killed one of her own chickens and stewed it for them to eat.

While chatting during the meal, Jiang Wen realized that the strange child was the grandson of the old woman.An accident happened when the parents went out to work, leaving the old woman and her child to depend on each other.

The child is weak and sick, and the old woman has to work hard.The child was brought back from the dead several times.

"Without this grandson, she would have no hope in this world." The coachman said with emotion.

"Yes, people always need spiritual comfort. If you don't even know what you are living for, you probably don't have the meaning to live anymore." Li Yunshang gnawed on a chicken leg and expressed his philosophy of life.

Jiang Wen was convinced and agreed with her words.

This old woman's son and daughter-in-law all died in one fell swoop, and she survived probably just for the sake of her grandson.If her grandson is gone, the old woman's motivation to live will naturally be gone.
