Wei City, a simple wooden house. In the wooden house, the fire beats, dispelling the chill of the cold night.
The two people who came from afar may have met at Wei City by chance and temporarily hid in a wooden house to avoid the cold and rain.
There is only one bed in the house. There is no doubt that tonight will be another sleepless night, at least for Ning Chen.
In many cases, Ning Chen still has a bit of a gentlemanly demeanor, especially when facing a seemingly weak woman.
Perhaps he was tired, Yun Manlu half leaned on the head of the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Ning Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the drizzle outside, and gradually became a little lost.
Coming to the God Realm was not what he wanted, because once he came, it would be difficult to go back.
But he had to come.
Heaven of No Desire may seem like a simple name, but judging from the fearful attitude of the Moon God, this Heaven of No Desire is extremely powerful.
To regain Xin Yu's soul, he must become stronger.
This ancient city is full of magic. A Teacher or Blacksmith you meet at random might have been a world-famous and peerless strong man in the past.
Enlightenment is not easy. The people here may have been in the city for a thousand years, or even longer.
There is indeed something wrong with his way.
If he does not give up his demon body, he will not be able to set foot on the imperial path in a short period of time. The trouble of not having his cake and eat it too makes his heart no longer calm.
He knew that this was not a good thing. If Dao Heart was unstable, his sword would also have problems.
However, knowing and doing are always two different things.
In quiet contemplation, the long and cold night gradually passed in the ancient city. In the east, when the sky was about to break, the light rain also stopped.
However, the sky at Wei City is still not clear yet, and it is covered with clouds, as if it will rain again at any time.
The door of the house was pushed open with a creak, and Ning Chen walked out. He looked at the still dim town, thought for a while, and prepared to make a paper umbrella by himself.
In the small town, supplies are scarce, there are very few people doing business, and most families are basically self-sufficient. This weird small town is incompatible with the outside world.
Ning Chen searched in front of the door for a long time and found wood and bamboo.
Perhaps it has been too long and the wood has become somewhat rotten. Fortunately, the bamboo joints are still tough and can barely make an umbrella.
Ning Chen took out a knife, sat in front of the door, and started whittling wood.
After a while, the umbrella ribs were roughly formed. Ning Chen fixed the shaved bamboo on it, then got up and looked around for oil paper or something that could replace it.
"What are you looking for, Master?"
At some point, Yun Manlu stood quietly in front of the house door and asked.
"Oil paper, I want to make an umbrella."
Ning Chen replied casually.
Yun Manlu looked around and said, "It doesn't seem to be available here. I'll go next door and borrow it."
After saying that, Yun Manlu turned around and walked towards the Blacksmith shop next door.
Not long after, Yun Manlu walked back with a piece of oil paper in his hand and handed it to the former.
"The girl is smart."
Ning Chen took the oil paper and praised it with a smile.
Yun Manlu chuckled and watched quietly without saying anything else.
Ning Chen sat in front of the door and carefully tied the oil paper to the umbrella frame.
It was the first time in thousands of years that I made an umbrella with my own hands. Ning Chen looked at the oil-paper umbrella that was gradually taking shape in his hands, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
On the side, Yun Manlu chuckled secretly, obviously disagreeing with the appearance of someone's oil-paper umbrella.
"What, doesn't it look good?" Ning Chen felt it and turned around and asked.
He thinks it's okay!
"Not bad." Yun Manlu smiled.
"I think so too."
Ning Chen stood up and looked at the sky where it might rain again at any time. After thinking about it, he handed the oil-paper umbrella to the woman in front of him and said, "I'll give it to you. You can use it when it rains."
"No, no need."
Yun Manlu quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't like to go out. I can't use this umbrella. It's better for you Young Master Ning to use it yourself."
Ning Chen glanced at the umbrella in his hand regretfully and asked again, "You really don't need it?"
"It's really not necessary."
Yun Manlu nodded affirmatively.
"Okay."
Ning Chen put away his umbrella and said with a smile, "By the way, Miss Yun, I haven't had time to ask you yet, what are you doing here Wei City?"
"Enlightenment."
Yun Manlu replied naturally.
Ning Chen looked at the woman in front of him in surprise and said, "Young lady also came to enlightenment?"
"Why, can't you see it?" Yun Manlu chuckled.
"That's not true."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I just see that the girl has a peaceful mind. She doesn't look like a confused Dao Heart person."
"Maybe it's just pretending?" Yun Manlu said with a smile.
"That girl's acting ability is so shocking." Ning Chen sighed.
"Okay, don't talk about me anymore, what about you, why are you here?" Yun Manlu asked softly.
"Dao Heart is unstable, come here to find a solution." Ning Chen said bluntly.
"Since you know that you are Dao Heart unstable, why don't you calm down and stabilize Dao Heart? Why did you travel thousands of miles to come here?" Yun Manlu asked.
"Girls' words always leave people speechless." Ning Chen said helplessly.
"Am I right?" Yun Manlu smiled.
"Maybe."
Ning Chen said softly, "I just stayed in one place for too long and tried hard for many years but couldn't find a way, so I came here to try my luck."
"You are just like the uncle next door. He thought the same way nine hundred years ago."
Yun Manlu pointed to the Blacksmith shop not far away and said, "However, he doesn't seem to have figured it out yet."
"Heh."
Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Miss Yun, has anyone ever told you that you are really a unique person?"
They met yesterday and the impression given to him by the woman in front of him was that she was delicate and gentle. After talking for a few words today, he realized that sometimes first impressions can really be deceiving.
Yun Manlu smiled sweetly and said, "Of course someone has said that, in my opinion, Young Master is also a unique person."
Ning Chen smiled and said nothing more, this woman is not simple.
While the two were talking, the door across the room creaked open, and a middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a white scholar's robe and holding a bamboo slip. He could tell at a glance that he was a scholar.
Ning Chen looked over and looked at the person coming, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
This should be the Teacher that the young man mentioned yesterday.
Opposite, Teacher saw the two people in front of them and nodded in greeting.
Ning Chen returned the favor with a kind smile on his face.
"Did you come yesterday?"
Teacher said.
"Yeah."
Ning Chen nodded.
Teacher looked at the woman next to him and asked, "Wife?"
"No."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "We met by chance, and now we can be considered friends."
Teacher nodded and said, "I'll go give lectures first and we'll talk when I get back."
"Please." Ning Chen said politely.
Teacher nodded politely and walked away.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
At this time, in the Blacksmith shop next door, the sound of iron began to be heard, one after another, monotonous and harsh.
As the sound of hammering in the Blacksmith shop rang out, the whole town began to come alive. People performed their duties, teaching, farming, and treating diseases. No one affected anyone.
Ning Chen stood in front of the house, looking at the various scenes of the small town, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Next door, a woman walked out with beaten farm tools and placed them in front of the house, waiting for buyers.
In the room, the firelight danced, and the man with bare arms held a hammer and struck the iron block in his hand, tirelessly.
The woman laid out the farm tools and was about to enter the house when she saw the two people not far away. A friendly smile appeared on her face and she said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, let's come together. I happened to make more."
Ning Chen and Yun Manlu looked at each other. At this moment, they both felt a little hungry.
Blacksmith The shop was very simple. When the two came in, the man was still working. The woman set out the dishes, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Sit down and eat. I left some food for your eldest brother. It will take a while for him to eat."
Ning Chen, Yun Manlu felt a little embarrassed and sat down, looking at the simple meals on the table, feeling hungry.
This magical town always makes people forget that they are warriors.
"Eat, you're welcome."
The woman sat down on the side, put some dishes for each of them, and said with a gentle expression, "There are not so many rules here, so I, a woman, will eat at the same table with you. Don't dislike it."
"Sister, what are you talking about? We are the ones interrupting you."
Yun Manlu said with a bright smile on his face.
"This child is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet mouth."
My sister, I called her, which made the woman smile and feel in a good mood, she said.
Ning Chen secretly gave a thumbs up to the woman next to him. He felt that he was good at flattering her, but he didn't expect that there would be a stronger one among the strongest, and every mountain would be higher than the next.
What a woman cares about most is her age. Miss Yun couldn't shout out her sister's name anyway.
Not far away, the man grinned, looking extremely simple.
Seeing the man's smile, a strange look flashed on Ning Chen's face.
If he hadn't been told by the young man in Tsing Yi yesterday that Blacksmith was a murderous executioner in the past, he would have believed that he was an honest and simple man.
The food was simple but tasted pretty good. When Ning Chen and Yun Manlu were almost full, the man finished what he was doing and went to the dining table to eat.
"Brother Li, thank you for the hospitality." Yun Manlu smiled.
"It should be."
The man responded honestly and said with a smile, "Listening to your conversation, they should all be Enlightened One. What, is your cultivation path not going smoothly?"
"I'm okay, I'm just curious. Come here and play. The young man next to me is probably in trouble." Yun Manlu smiled sweetly.
"Haha."
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, this girl's mouth is really poisonous.
"Sword repair?" The man looked over and asked.
"Yeah." Ning Chen nodded.
"Slaughter Sword Dao?" The man asked again.
"Yeah."
Ning Chen nodded again.
The man was silent for a long time and then said, "To prove the Tao through killing, you will be troubled by your sins. In the future, every step will be difficult and dangerous. I advise you to practice other ways."
"It's too late."
Ning Chen sighed, "I still have important things to do, and I don't have time to change other ways."
"A sword can be a gentleman's sword, or it can be a killing weapon. I'm not asking you to completely give up the way of swordsmanship, but just make some changes in the way of swordsmanship." The man said seriously.
Ning Chen thought for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "It's too late."
The man sighed softly and said, "Since you can't change it, then just find a way out. There is no need to worry too much about right and wrong in the world."
