Jian Wu left the cave with a confused mind.

It was really hard for her to understand her master's strange thoughts. Of course, she didn't understand them either before.

The junior sisters said that this is what makes the master different from ordinary people.

Jianwu was a little skeptical about this. She felt deep down that the reason why her master was abandoned when she was young was because she had some problem with her brain.

For example, there used to be a plowing cow in Wanxi Zhai.

Of course, plow oxen are used to plow the land, but the master said why do oxen have to work so hard?

It worked hard to cultivate the land and grow crops. Why should we eat the flour ground by wheat, while cows can only eat the wheat straw?

This is not fair to the cows.

So the master slaughtered the cow.

That night, all the disciples of Xizhai ate a big meal of beef with tears in their eyes.

Each and every one of them is still full of ideas.

But without the cows, the land in Wanxi Zhai couldn't be left uncultivated, so the master asked everyone to pick up hoes and do what the cows should have done.

After working in this way for several months, everyone still felt that it would be better to have a plowing ox, after all, it would not have to be so hard.

But the master refused to agree because he had no money.

So the guys took the spun linen to the town, exchanged it for some silver, and gave it to the master.

The result...

The master used the money to buy a sea turtle!

She actually raised a bird!

The purpose of raising this bird is just to make it easier for her to find someone!

In addition, the bird would catch a rabbit for her from time to time.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye!

There are still no cows, but the bird has grown up.

By the way, why didn't you see her bird?

…

…

Li Chenan was staring at Xiao Baozi's shoulder at this time.

Because a big bird just landed on her shoulder.

Xiao Baozi took off a small bamboo tube from the bird's foot and took out a piece of paper two fingers wide.

Under the light, she squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Li Chenan.

"There are so many martial arts masters who want to kill you!"

"It's not easy for you to survive until now."

Li Chenan took it and took a look. There were only two lines of words on this piece of paper:

"Everything Anxiang records is an ambush."

"Roughly one hundred and twenty, they are all masters!"

Li Chenan was startled. The latter sentence was easy to understand, but the first sentence...

"What secret fragrance?"

"It's just a touch of sandalwood."

"...If there is sandalwood in these deep mountains and old forests, wouldn't the enemy also know about it?"

Xiao Baozi opened his eyes and looked at Li Chenan, "Of course ordinary sandalwood is like this, but the sandalwood made by Tan Baguai is different... I can smell it."

Li Chenan also looked at Xiao Baozi in surprise, thinking that this is a strange thing in the world?

"You just followed me into the mountains. Who was responsible for investigating this thing? They are all experts, so no one discovered his whereabouts?"

"Why are you so curious as a woman?"

Xiao Baozi glanced at Li Chenan, thought for a while and explained:

"On the way from Guangling, I met many merchants and heard about you. I also learned about your future mission to suppress bandits in Shuangjiao Mountain."

"After all, my disciples are working with you to earn a living. I heard that you also give them one tael of silver every month, so you are their boss."

"It is the rule of the world to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since I am their master, of course I don't want you to die like this... If you die, they will not have that monthly money."

"It's not easy to make some money these days, so I invited a thief who is very good at hiding and has excellent Qinggong and Qinggong to come and set foot in Shuangjiao Mountain."

"He told thieves not to leave the Yangtze River. He is not famous, but he does have some unique skills. He owes me a favor."

"...What's the favor?"

"Two years ago, this guy came to Wanxi Zhai. There was nothing for him to steal in Wanxi Zhai. The only thing worth money was a cow."

"This guy wanted to take the cow, but the cow didn't seem to want to leave, so it made a cry, and I happened to hear it."

"When I went to the cowshed, the cow had already been slaughtered by him!"

"I was going to kill him and bury him with the cow...but he said he had an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child."

"After much deliberation, I couldn't do it, so I let him go."

"That's it?"

"Um,"

Xiao Baozi nodded, "That's it."

Li Chenan looked at Xiao Baozi again and felt that this woman could not be treated by ordinary people.

He said nothing more, got up, gathered Wang Zheng Jinzhong and others together, and made some arrangements under the dim light.

…

…

The sky was slightly bright, and the mountains and fields were completely white.

It's heavy fog again.

Li Chenan and his party had a simple breakfast, packed their belongings, left the cave, and walked into the thick fog.

They are going to do two things -

First, according to the marks left by Jiang Zhiya, take the lead in clearing out those people in the rivers and lakes.

Second... we need to arrive at the entrance to Broken Heart Valley tomorrow evening and meet up with Xuanjia Camp.

This time Xiao Baozi rode the little black donkey and walked in front of the team.

Because only she could smell the faint fragrance, so she volunteered to be a guide.

In fact, Xiao Wu can also smell it, but he doesn't know it.

The mountains and fields were silent.

Even the chirping of birds is only two or three occasionally.

Xiao Baozi still looked like she had not woken up. She was walking lazily and leisurely on her donkey, aimlessly, and it seemed that she had not thought about her purpose at all.

Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan were still following Li Chenan closely. Amu remained alert enough, but Wang Zhenghaoxuan would glance at the donkey in front of him from time to time.

Wang Zheng Jinzhong, who knew his son as his father, felt a little panicked when he saw Wang Zheng Haoxuan adding lips.

He now knew that the girl riding the donkey was the owner of Wanxi Zhai.

Wangzheng Jinzhong has some understanding of Wanxi Zhai.

This sect was born out of the famous Cihang Taoist Temple hundreds of years ago.

That's a monastic nunnery!

Later, for some unknown reason, some people left and went to Wangui Mountain and established what is now Wanxi Zhai.

They still inherit some of the traditions of Cihang Taoist Temple.

For example, only female disciples are recruited.

For example, what I practice is still Cihang Taoist Temple’s unique inner strength and mental method, the Jing Nian Taoist Canon.

What we pay attention to is still Tao and nature, and what we pursue is still following our heart's wishes.

It's just that the disciples of Cihang Taoist Temple used to serve the Sanqing statue and never get married throughout their lives, becoming outsiders.

However, Wanxi Zhai completely broke this rule. Disciples of Wanxizhai could get married, but after getting married, they had to leave the mountain and were not allowed to bring men back to the mountain.

Nowadays, Cihang Taoist Temple has disappeared, but Wanxi Zhai has become one of the three major sects in Ningguo.

Wanxi Zhai's disciples are rarely born, but their background is profound. Even if they are all women, they may not lose to Mu Shan Dao in terms of strength.
