Chapter 123 The Facts Are Before Our Eyes
"These people may just be ordinary people in the world of immortal cultivation. Their cultivation and realm may not have reached the height you imagine. But you have to believe that true immortal cultivators must have unique pursuits and beliefs in their hearts."
Jiang Hengzhou paused and continued, "How about I take you out for a walk in a couple of days? Let's go for a walk and visit some places you haven't been to before, and then go and see other immortal cultivators that have appeared in this world."
Jiang Hengzhou said so much, but it was actually all made up on the spot.
He was worried that Shi You would waver in his pursuit of the path of immortal cultivation. After all, although they were demon cultivators, the path of cultivation they pursued was no different from that of immortal cultivators.
For practitioners, once they begin to doubt what they are pursuing, it is like encountering an insurmountable obstacle on the road of practice. In serious cases, their practice will stagnate.
Shi You listened to Jiang Hengzhou's words and felt that he was right. One should not generalize. These were just two people and could not represent the group that one had imagined.
Then, after hearing Jiang Hengzhou's proposal, his eyes flashed with anticipation, as if he had already seen the wonderful world after the revival of spiritual energy, and he really had many places he wanted to go but had not been to before.
His mood instantly became high. "Great, great, the spiritual energy is revived, this world will definitely become very exciting."
Shi You has a heartless personality and there is really no sign of instability in her Taoism. She is just a little disappointed.
Seeing that something that he had imagined would be resolved very quickly turned out like this in reality, he was a little depressed, but not much. After listening to Jiang Hengzhou's words, he immediately recovered.
Jiang Hengzhou looked at Shi You's expectant expression and curled up the corners of his mouth along with him.
He knew that Shi You had always been optimistic and cheerful, and would recover very quickly at any time, but he hoped that Shi You would always be so happy.
"Alright, alright, do you still want to follow those two people? They've already walked quite far away."
"Yes." The excitement hasn't finished yet, so of course I have to continue following. Maybe he will show up later and play a major role, and it will also allow him to experience the feeling of being the leading man.
Shi You and Jiang Hengzhou followed closely behind, and saw Zhuang Yujing and Fang Xingyu stopping an aunt riding an electric bike. The aunt had no choice but to turn to the shade nearby.
The aunt was about forty years old, wearing a big round hat and had a confused look on her face. She was obviously puzzled by the two young people who were dressed like they were on a TV.
It's so hot today. Isn't it hot for a girl to wear so many layers following a boy?
In this village, unless you are an idiot, you know that if you are outside in the middle of the day, you should at least wear a hat, wear thin clothes, and stand in a cool place. However, these two people were not only dressed warmly, but she saw them standing in the middle of the road as she walked along.
So it is not unreasonable for the aunt to be confused about the two people in front of her.
Fang Xingyu was the first to speak. He politely pointed in the direction of the alley where the small shabby courtyard was located and asked the aunt softly, "Hello, auntie. We are a little curious. Whose families do those shabby courtyards in the alley over there belong to?"
The aunt was very alert. She frowned slightly and looked at the two faces that were obviously unfamiliar to her. It was obvious from their temperament that they were not from the village.
She then slowly said, "You are not from our village, right? Why are you asking this?"
Fang Xingyu already had a plan in mind, and he immediately made up a reason that seemed reasonable and half-true.
"Oh, it's like this, Auntie. We were just passing by here and came to the village for a stroll. We saw a small sapling in the yard and thought it was very special. We wanted to buy it and send it home.
But just now two young people came over and said that the yard belonged to their grandmother and they were not selling anything. They also said that they had won 1,000 million in the lottery a few days ago and were planning to come back and renovate the house.”
They both knew that lottery tickets were valuable. After all, before they disbanded, two of their senior brothers had already become addicted to scratch cards, but they lost a lot of money.
He said it to attract the aunt's attention. If it was true and the man said it so casually, it must have spread widely in the village.
After hearing this, the aunt's tense nerves relaxed a little. It turned out that the two young people were cheated.
She shook her head and said with a smile, "Oh, those two young people must have lied to you. There is indeed only an old lady left in the yard, but a new house has been built in the backyard. Moreover, she lived in the city with her eldest son a long time ago and only came back during the Chinese New Year. Her two grandsons are already grown up and have gone to the southern city. They are no longer young people.
There is only one son left in my hometown, who teaches at a nearby school, and his grandchildren, all of whom are in school, and one is a graduate student. Everyone in the village knows about the old lady's family situation, how could there be two young people?"
Listening to what the young man had just said, the aunt also became a little angry and told him everything she knew without any hesitation. She no longer had any vigilance at all.
Shi You was listening from the side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Not bad, not bad. The first person he met solved the puzzle. It was worth it that he didn't even respond to Daju and Erju's greetings and rushed over in a hurry.
Although they ignored them, these two idiots actually followed them and just sat there looking at them. Their movements were surprisingly consistent, without even blinking.
I guess he was also confused, why did the familiar cat's scent become human?
As soon as Zhuang Yujing and Fang Xingyu heard it, they knew that the aunt's words completely confirmed that they had been deceived, but they still listened to the aunt's words patiently.
Fang Xingyu remained as calm as before, after all, the result was pretty much the same as what they had guessed.
"Auntie, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we might still be kept in the dark."
The aunt waved her hand with a simple smile on her face, feeling a little embarrassed by what the young man said. This child is really good-looking, more handsome than the kids in their village, and very fair and clean, which is really rare.
"Hey, it's nothing, it's just a small matter. In this world, scammers are getting more and more cunning, and they even came to our village to cheat.
However, the trees in the yard are all common species. If you really want to buy some, I can help you contact their youngest son. He should be able to come over after school later."
