A genius girl with her own space

Zhou Jingze hugged Qiqi, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's look for the memories of our past lives. Don't be sad. Without their deaths, there would be no us today. We should be lucky to be alive and have the memories of our past lives."

When Xie Lei and the others saw how close Qiqi and the others were, they left one after another, giving them some space to be alone and enjoy the beauty of the moment.

Qiqi and the others quickly went to look for their master. They were going to leave here and take a walk in the divine realm. The master was a little worried, so he asked Hu Boyuan to accompany them.

Qiqi knew that her master had used up almost all of the Yanshan Sect's spirit stones in order to resist the invasion of the Jingshan Sect. She took out a lot of spirit stones and gave them to her master. She said that they were plundered from spirit stone veins she encountered in the fairyland. Her master accepted them without any objection.

Qiqi and his group, consisting of four people, sat on the flying boat, with the speed set to the slowest, and they looked at the situation below.

Last night, Qiqi asked Master about the wild medicinal herbs in the mountains so they could collect them and make elixirs. She also asked Master about the sects that were difficult to get along with and that they should avoid.

Are there demons and monsters in the divine realm? This was the key question she was asking. Where did the demons and monsters live? Don't stray into their habitat if you don't know them.

Qiqi's master didn't suspect anything and gave her all the addresses. He also told her that no one could go to the territories of the demon and monster tribes, as the border areas were guarded by demon and monster beasts, so she should not cause any conflict.

Qiqi also pretended to ask many other questions, including when the brothers from Bugong Mountain would come back.

The master was still sighing. If these monsters weren't scared off, they wouldn't stop. There was only so much food in the mountains over there. They were attacking us to steal our food.

Alas, back in those days, our ancestors, pitiful as they were, frequently sent people to bring them food. Over time, they took our kindness for granted. After those elders passed away, their descendants continued to send them food for several years, but these monsters complained that the gifts were insufficient. Sometimes, conflicts arose, and gradually, the sending stopped. The conflict grew, and they complained that these people were depriving them of their food and not giving them any.

From then on, they came to rob. Our ancestors raised a large number of conscienceless monsters for their descendants! In the end, they couldn't steal food, so they even stole people, and asked people to bring food in exchange for people.

In desperation, many sects sent people to guard the Unfair Mountain. No monsters could cross the Unfair Mountain.

After tens of thousands of years of this, these monsters still wouldn't stop. When they were hungry, they even ate their own injured and incapacitated members, lest they waste their food and medicine.

We humans didn't run back after being captured by them, so I'm afraid we've also fallen into their clutches. Maybe we were eaten.

Qiqi's master explained all of this to her in detail and warned her not to go to these places.

How could the master know this? Qiqi wanted to know this, and this was also her destination.

Xie Lei saw a large primeval forest, and Hu Boyuan landed the flying boat. The four of them got off the flying boat and walked into the forest.

They had nothing to worry about today, so they slowly flew over the forest. They also saw a small path in the forest. Perhaps it was used by hunters? There were no paths in the forest originally, but as more people walked, a path was formed.

They also guessed that there must be people living in the mountains, otherwise the road would not be so clean and hard, and there would not be a single blade of grass on it.

They flew up the path and heard the barking of dogs. They saw a few thatched huts standing alone on a hillside. Their hearing was so good that they could hear the laughter of children and dogs playing.

"There are actually people living here. It's so far away from the town, how do they buy things? They grow their own vegetables and grains and raise their own chickens and ducks, but where do they get salt from?" Qiqi said.

"Let's go and see how they live," Hu Boyuan also said.

They landed and slowly walked up. They saw crops and vegetables planted around the house. A fence had been built, and they saw a few chickens and ducks. They also saw a chicken and a duck egg, which the owner hadn't picked up yet.

They saw an old man weeding, another drying herbs. They must be an elderly couple. A little boy was playing with a large yellow dog. They were playing with a ball of string, tossing it far away. The dog was fetching it back. A peaceful scene.

The three men stopped, and Qiqi walked up on her own.

"Excuse me, old man, but I'd like to ask if there's ginseng growing here? We're picking it for the elderly at home."

The two elderly people were both seventy years old. The old woman raised her head and looked at them, without any fear in her eyes.

Qiqi felt that the two old men must have very high cultivation levels, which was why they remained calm when they saw her.

"Yes, we have some picked ginseng. Do you want it?" said the old woman.

"We want it, old man! Can you let me see it?"

The old woman came out with a cloth bag. She asked Qiqi to sit on a stone bench and placed the bag on the stone table. She opened the bag. Inside were two 500-year-old ginseng seeds.

"Mother-in-law, I want both of them. How much silver do you want? Or spirit stones?" Qiqi asked.

At this time, the little boy also came over and said, "Grandma, there are guests at home! Auntie, you are so beautiful!"

Qiqi took out a few candies and handed them to the little boy. The boy didn't take them and looked at his grandmother.

"Here, it's from your auntie. Go and eat it! Play with Da Huang, don't run away."

The little boy hummed and ran off. He couldn't bear to eat any of the food himself, so he offered a piece to Da Huang. This was his grandmother's instruction: from now on, give Da Huang anything you want to eat first. When Da Huang is happy, you can eat. That way, Da Huang will play with you and protect you. The little boy was three years old and didn't understand this yet. His grandmother and grandfather were protecting him.

If something is poisonous, Dahuang won't move, and naturally, the grandson won't eat it either. Instead, he'll call them. They'll know it's poisonous. Dahuang is also very human-like, having been trained by the old couple. When he sees a stranger, he takes the little boy to a cave to play. Wherever there's a bed and food, they can play there for days without leaving the cave.

Until grandma and grandpa came to look for them and took them back.

This didn't happen often. There were a few times when hunters from the mountains came to the old couple's place to take shelter from the rain. Before they arrived, the old couple would send Da Huang to take the child with them to hide in the cave.

The rain continued for two days, but the hunters did not leave. They ate up all the food in their house, including a chicken and a duck.

The old couple didn't want to cause trouble, so they didn't say anything. Before they left, a kind hunter threw two pheasants to them. They were also scolded by others.
