The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 25 Poor Little Girl

"Let's go to Yandu nearby first." Liu Shan planned to take Ye Fan, who had just mastered the method of changing the world, to Yandu to find his little girl.

"Why are we going to Yandu? Aren't we planning to enter the ancient forbidden land?" Ye Fan was a little confused as to why they had to go to Yandu again.

"I'm going there to find a little girl. By the way, have you seen her when you passed by Yandu before?" Although Liu Shan knew that Ye Fan had met a little girl, he still wanted to confirm it.

"Little girl? I met a little girl begging before, but why are you looking for her suddenly?" Ye Fan was confused.

Liu Shan began to make up a story: "I have seen in the ancient books of Taixuan Sect that there is a mysterious little girl in this area. She has existed for three thousand years. She has always been ignorant and has no memories, but she has a great relationship with the ancient forbidden area. So I plan to take her to the ancient forbidden area."

"Is this reliable? The ancient forbidden land is too dangerous. What if I take this little girl with me and she loses her life?" Ye Fan felt that this method was not very good.

"Don't worry. Even if I lose my life, nothing will happen to her. I will definitely sacrifice myself to protect her, okay?" Liu Shan promised.

Ye Fan felt that Liu Shan became very mysterious after joining Taixuan Sect. He knew a lot of secrets, and sometimes when he asked him, his answers were always ambiguous.

"Tanghulu, one penny a string, no money if it's not sweet."

Looking at this bustling city with a thriving population, the two couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Even monks need to feel the breath of the world occasionally.

Listening to the various hawking sounds and watching the various jugglers selling goods, the two began to search on the street. After a while, Ye Fan found Xiao Nannan.

"Big brother... I'm hungry. Can you buy me a bun? I'm very hungry." A dirty and pitiful little girl was begging Ye Fan.

When Liu Shan saw the little girl, he immediately bought a bunch of buns from the bun shop nearby and handed them to Ye Fan, indicating that he should give them to the little girl.

Ye Fan squatted down and slowly handed the bun in his hand to the pitiful little girl in front of him.

"Little sister, do you still remember me?" Ye Fan asked softly.

Little Nannan swallowed her saliva, blinked her big eyes, and carefully took a bun. Then she replied coquettishly: "I don't remember, big brother. I have forgotten a lot of things."

After taking the bun, she started eating it in big mouthfuls and looked like she had been hungry for a long time.

Ye Fan and Liu Shan watched Xiao Nannan eat the buns in big mouthfuls, and passed her the next one after she finished. After eating three, Xiao Nannan slowly stopped.

Liu Shan also squatted down and whispered to the little girl, "Little sister, can you follow the big brothers in the future? If you follow the big brothers, you will never have to go hungry again."

Little Nannan blinked her big eyes and looked at the two big brothers in front of her. "Is it okay? But I lose my memory every once in a while. Everyone treats me as a monster and dares not take me in." Little Nannan felt very wronged. She didn't know why she lost her memory every once in a while.

Liu Shan knew that many people took Xiao Nannan in because they felt sorry for her. But Xiao Nannan never grew up, and she would lose her memory every once in a while, so many mortals were terrified, and then they couldn't accept her and abandoned her.

Liu Shan looked at the little girl distressedly, "It's okay, little girl. The big brothers are not afraid that you will lose your memory. When the time comes, we will make a jade pendant for you and store all your memories in it. It doesn't matter if you lose your memory this way."

Although Xiao Nannan didn't understand what the big brother in front of her said, and didn't know what it meant to store memories, she could feel the kindness of the two people in front of her, and when she looked at Ye Fan, she felt a strong sense of intimacy. She nodded hesitantly.

Seeing little Nannan nod, Liu Shan and Ye Fan looked at each other and laughed.

Ye Fan really felt sorry for little Nannan. He felt very close to her the moment he saw her. However, he could hardly protect himself and was being hunted all the time, so he had never thought of taking little Nannan in. Now that Liu Shan was willing to take little Nannan in, he felt very happy.

Although Liu Shan wanted to take advantage of Xiao Nannan, when he saw her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel distressed and was willing to take care of the little girl.

The two of them brought their little girl to the inn, found the innkeeper, asked the proprietress to help their little girl take a bath, and then bought her some new clothes.

Seeing the little girl dressed up, Liu Shan couldn't help but hug her and kiss her. Ye Fan also took her and kissed her. The dressed up little girl looked even cuter.

Returning to the vicinity of the ancient forbidden land, Liu Shan and Ye Fan changed their appearance this time and became two inconspicuous young men.

But looking at the little girl in their arms, the two fell into deep thought. They changed their appearance, but the little girl couldn't change.

The little girl was stunned when she saw the two older brothers' appearances change in an instant. Then she started laughing. She thought it was so funny.

Liu Shan looked at the cheerful little girl and said, "I'll show you later. Now the big brothers will take you to dig some things."

Little Nannan nodded happily.

Yaoguang Holy Land and the Jiang family were ready. Liu Shan and Ye Fan, holding their little girl, followed the wandering cultivators and mixed into the crowd.

However, carrying a girl into the ancient forbidden land still attracted a lot of people's attention. However, these were all independent cultivators, and it was so dangerous to prepare to enter the restricted area, so no one cared about it.

Suddenly an old madman appeared next to Ye Fan.

"Everyone will die..." he said to himself. Liu Shan, Ye Fan and the little girl were all shocked. The three of them looked at the dirty old man who looked like an old beggar.

"Are you telling the truth, old man?" Ye Fan asked.

Liu Shan didn't expect that even though Ye Fan had used the Heaven-Changing and Earth-Changing Technique, the old madman could still appear beside Ye Fan. Was it because Ye Fan had just started using the Heaven-Changing and Earth-Changing Technique, and he recognized it? Or was there someone controlling all this?
Liu Shan couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to think about it too much.

The three followed the old madman and walked towards the ancient forbidden land.

"Roar" a roar of beasts was heard, and all the wandering cultivators in front ran back, everyone's face was filled with fear.

"A giant beast! It ate everyone!"

"Dead, all dead, here he comes again." The old madman muttered to himself.

The old madman began to cry. Liu Shan held the little girl in his arms and asked Liu Shan to support the old madman, and they walked all the way.

Until he stopped on a stone mountain. He just stared at the ancient forbidden land in a daze. The three of them also waited beside the old madman. Ye Fan didn't understand why Liu Shan had to accompany the old man all the time.

As the morning glow rose, Liu Shan held the little girl who had fallen asleep, while Ye Fan supported the old madman.

At this moment, a glimmer of clarity suddenly flashed in the old madman's eyes, and then returned to turbidity. He used his footwork to take Ye Fan away quickly, and Liu Shan hurried to catch up.

The Tianxuan footwork and the remaining fragments of the Xing character secret technique were indeed powerful. Dao patterns were produced with every step taken by the old madman.

Liu Shan could only barely follow by using the Time Delay Technique. Although his secret technique was comparable to the Xing character secret and stronger than the Tianxuan footwork, Liu Shan's cultivation was too low, so he could only barely follow.

After following for a long time, he could only watch the old madman and Ye Fan go away.

Liu Shan had no choice but to return to the original place and wait for Ye Fan to come back. After waiting for two days, Ye Fan came back.

The three of them returned to the vicinity of the ancient forbidden land again. Now there was no one here, and the casual cultivators who had entered might have been wiped out.

The three of them could only walk slowly, trying to find the path they had taken before.

After walking for a long time, we saw the place where everyone picked the red sacred fruit when they first arrived in Beidou.

The small trees here are still bare, and the holy fruits on them have been eaten by Liu Shan and the other two.

Continuing to search forward, it was safe along the way. There were no slaves blocking the way and no strange sounds. It seemed that bringing little Girl Nan with me was the right decision.

Finally, they smelled a strange fragrance again. Following the fragrance, the three found eleven small trees. These small trees were shaped like pine trees, and their needle-shaped leaves were like the essence of green jade, shining brightly.

Each tree had a golden fruit, each emitting a strange fragrance that made people intoxicated. The three of them hurried forward, Liu Shan first picked one and put it into the little girl's mouth, and then he and Ye Fan each picked one and put it into their mouths.

A fragrance flows down the throat and into the internal organs, instantly dilating the pores and making one feel like floating in the spring breeze.

Ye Fan, Liu Shan and Xiao Nannan each took three pills, and Liu Shan asked Ye Fan to put away the remaining two.

Ye Fan originally planned to give one to each person, but when he saw Liu Shan gave the remaining two to him, he didn't understand what he meant.

The Holy Land Jiang Family came to the ancient forbidden land this time just to extend the life of Jiang Family God King Jiang Taixu.

When you come to Taixuanmen, I will invite the God King to come. You can give him these two holy fruits, and then you can get a favor from him. When you break through the fourth level, he can help you protect the way.

Ye Fan didn't expect Liu Shan to care so much about him, and he was deeply touched.

Liu Shan thought that it was good enough to have a taste of the holy fruit with Ye Fan this time. As for the remaining two, Ye Fan would do a favor, which could be regarded as an investment in the God King Jiang Taixu.

Liu Shan put little Nannan on the ground, then took out the jade bottle he had prepared earlier and began to fill it with the holy spring water.

After filling the holy spring water, he turned around and saw Ye Fan, who had actually broken off a fruit branch from each of the eleven fruit trees.

Liu Shan looked at Ye Fan with admiration. Only Ye Fan and Xiao Nannan could do such a thing. Others would probably be sucked dry by the power of the ancient forbidden area as soon as they started. Ye Fan handed Liu Shan seven branches and kept only four for himself.

"This fruit has such good effects. Bring the branches back and see if you can plant it later."

Liu Shan took it happily. He had wanted to break off the branches for a long time. He even wanted to dig up a tree and take it back, but he didn't dare.
