The road is right under your feet

The young man clasped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Bai, Instructor Fang sent me here to ask why you were absent from class today?"

The smile that Bai Xing had just raised froze on his face, "Um, what, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip. I will go and apologize to my mentor in person someday."

The man shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Junior Brother. I don't think the instructor intends to blame you. Just go to class on time tomorrow."

Bai Xing clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The man smiled and said, "Brother, I have something important to deal with, so I can't stay for long. Goodbye."

Shirahoshi returned the greeting, "Goodbye."

Bai Xing returned to the yard and threw himself on the recliner.

He placed his arm over his forehead, "It's been an...exciting day."

Bai Xing suddenly sat up, "But who is looking for me? What's the matter? But it seems that they are up to no good."

"Or am I overthinking it?"

He sat cross-legged and muttered to himself, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Xiahou helped me cover up when I moved. Not many people knew I lived here, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Bai Xing immediately forgot about what he had learned in the formation and talisman class.

Close your eyes and look inward at your meridians.

After several hours of practice, his meridians seemed to show signs of loosening.

His meridians seemed to have reached a bottleneck long time ago, and no matter how he practiced the two meridian opening methods, it was all in vain.

Now, under that terrifying pressure, there was some loosening.

It seems that it was the terrifying oppressive force that made the body instinctively feel danger, thus stimulating potential.

No wonder people all say that the realm of life and death is a shortcut to becoming strong.

Bai Xing exhaled, "It's really something that Taiqing Mountain can become the leading academy on the continent.

Even one of the holy places for cultivation has such miraculous effects, I wonder what the effects are in the other places?"

Bai Xing's eyes were shining and he was eager to try.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened, "No money, no money, which holy place for cultivation doesn't cost money?"

Bai Xing thought of that zero and felt depressed. "How can I earn enough points in Taiqing Mountain?"

"Forget it, let's strike while the iron is hot, flush the meridians and strengthen the bones."

Bai Xing stood up, under the starry sky, and made strange gestures.

The moon sets and rises, and the sky is filled with a beautiful glow.

A rooster crowed in the back of the courtyard. Bai Xing stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

"I've been here for so long, and I just found out there are chickens in the back mountain?" Bai Xing felt like he had missed out on a hundred million.

77 suddenly appeared in front of Shirahoshi, less than half an inch away from his cheek. Shirahoshi was startled and jumped backwards.

"Master, you are too sleepy. You are like a dead pig. You always sleep until the 4th hour. You have never attended the 5th hour of the 6th hour of the 7th hour of the 11th lunar month."

Hearing this, Bai Xing couldn't help but open his mouth to defend himself, "Yesterday was my first day of the alchemy class. Don't make it sound like I missed classes for a long time."

77 pursed his lips.

Bai Xing took a deep breath and calmed his heart which was beating wildly with fear.

By the way, Fubao and Ah Huang were released.

Ah Huang seemed very excited. Hearing the shouting, he immediately became excited and shouted "Awoo~Awoo~" as if he was competing to see whose voice was louder.

Bai Xing couldn't help laughing, "It's rare to hear chickens crowing and dogs barking."

He stroked Ah Huang's head, his eyes full of tenderness, "Little guy, Daddy has been too busy these days and hasn't been able to spend time with you. Now I'll give you a snack, and the three of us will have a good meal."

"And me, and me, Master, have you forgotten 77?"

77 suddenly floated in front of Bai Xing and spoke in a wronged tone.

Fubao saw the little figure suddenly approaching and his tail moved.

Ah Huang pounced towards 77 out of curiosity, but found nothing and called out to 77 a few times.

Bai Xing grabbed Ah Huang and said, "Silly son, you can't touch it."

Then he glanced at 77's transparent little figure, "You? Can you eat?"

77 immediately turned his back and squatted in the air helplessly, "77 wants to eat delicious food too."

Bai Xing looked at its back and said nothing.

He left the two little ones in the yard and went to the back mountain alone.

There is a forest behind the courtyard, where few people come and go.

Bai Xing released his perception and quickly found the whereabouts of the chicken.

The sky was gray and dim at this time, and only a flash of lightning could be seen in the forest.

Then, a chaotic sound of roosters crowing sounded.

"Bah bah——"

Bai Xing shook his head, shook off the chicken feathers stuck on his face, and spat a few times in disgust.

However, when his eyes fell on the chickens in his hands, he became happy again.

"Not bad, not bad, it's actually a red-feathered chicken. This is a treat."

Bai Xing knocked out a few noisy chickens and flew quickly into the yard.

The courtyard was particularly lively at this time. Ah Huang was chasing butterflies, Fubao was lying quietly on the table in the pavilion, and 77 was teasing it.

Bai Xing stood quietly aside and watched for a long time.

He looked up, the beautiful sunrise reflected in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Is this... a peaceful life?"

Bai Xing walked quickly into that world, set up a pot, and the smoke rose up, instantly breaking this beautiful picture.

When Ah Huang saw Bai Xing, he stopped chasing the butterfly and ran towards Bai Xing happily, wagging his tail.

Bai Xing squatted down and stroked him gently, "Dad is making breakfast, what would you like to eat, Huang? How about making some chicken soup for you? Beggar's chicken is also good, or roast chicken."

Every time Bai Xing mentioned the name of a dish, Ah Huang would call out a few times in response, his eyes shining.

Finally, he stuck out his tongue and licked the saliva.

Bai Xing's heart moved, "Ah Huang, you can understand, right?"

Ah Huang called out a few more times, and Bai Xing held out a finger, "What's this? Just call out that many times."

"Wang."

Shirahoshi held up another finger.

"Wang Wang."

Shirahoshi held up a finger again.

"Wang Wang Wang."

Bai Xing couldn't help but hold Ah Huang in his arms and rubbed him gently, "Our Ah Huang is great. He can already understand what Dad says."

Ah Huang also shouted happily a few times.

Fu Bao's eyes moved a few times, and a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, as if to say, "Idiot."

77 saw Fubao's reaction, and data flashed rapidly in his eyes.

It flew back to Bai Xing, and as if it had sensed something, it disappeared in an instant.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

"So fast?"

As Bai Xing spoke, he moved his fingertips slightly, creating a hole in the barrier.

Immediately, two figures jumped in from the opening.

As soon as the two landed, they smelled an extremely delicious aroma that tempted their taste buds.

Zhuo Pingjian rushed in first, "Brother, are you going to treat me to a feast? I would be disrespectful to refuse."

"Where did you come from, kid? How dare you disrespect me!"

Su Shixuan stopped in front of Zhuo Ping Jianshen and held his sword horizontally in front of him.
