“Young master, is it really okay for Tan Eyu to eat like this?” Cheng Qi asked, still a little worried.
Li Tianyan explained, “With Tan Eyu’s current behavior, if she returns to the underworld, she can be a judge. Punishing evil ghosts is just an instinct.”
Cheng Qi was relieved when Li Tianyan said it was okay, and then he looked at the mountains not far away. The black air shrouding the mountains could be vaguely seen. “Young master, are there really monsters on this mountain?”
As soon as Cheng Qi’s words fell, the distant mountains echoed with a dull roar, sounding like the roar of an ancient evil beast mixed with emotions of unwillingness and anger, making people shudder.
Cheng Qi nervously held Li Tianyan’s hand. “No need to ask now, it must be a cannibal.”
“That’s not right,” Li Tianyan frowned upon hearing the voice.
“Young master, what’s wrong?” Cheng Qi asked, poking his head out from behind Li Tianyan.
“It’s not like a monster; it should be an ancient beast that was sealed by people. What happened to the thunder that day?” Li Tianyan speculated. “An ancient beast transformation could cause a heavenly thunder, but the sound just now seemed like it was trapped.”
Cheng Qi knew it was not a good thing as soon as he heard it. “Is ancient beast very powerful?”
“It would be really powerful in its heyday, but it sounds like it was seriously injured from the cry,” Li Tianyan observed. “I have to find a chance to go into the mountain to take a look. According to the situation, there is probably something wrong with it.”
Discovering that there was a dragon vein in Qiluan Mountain, Li Tianyan planned to stay here for a while. Although the dragon vein did not emit spiritual energy like the spiritual vein, it had a more mysterious power, blessing.
Blessing was also very important for cultivators. If he could practice in the Qiluan Mountain for a period of time, he might be able to improve his blessing. However, now that the entire dragon vein was covered with evil energy, it gave Li Tianyan a headache. They could only find a way to deal with the things in the mountains first.
The two decided to stay here for a while, and the broken house behind them needed to be dealt with. Li Tianyan took Cheng Qi into the house and threw a seed on the roof of the house. The seed was quickly imbued with a wood-type spiritual power. It sprouted and grew slender vines that intertwined with each other, quickly filling up the holes in the roof. The cracks on the wall slowly shrank under the influence of earth spiritual power. After some repairs, the house still looked mottled, but in fact, it was already airtight.
Since he was living in the village, Li Tianyan didn’t do much. After repairing the doors and windows, the house was ready to be lived in.
There used to be a wooden bed in the room, but one of the legs was broken. Cheng Qi took out a new wooden bed from the storage bag and drew curtains in the room to separate the place where the bed was placed.
After cleaning up the house, a dilapidated mud house became their warm little home. Looking at the scene in the house, Cheng Qi suddenly felt that he and Li Tianyan were just like an ordinary couple in the secular world.
Li Tianyan repaired the window and walked in from the outside. He saw Cheng Qi staring blankly at the wooden bed in the room. He raised his hand and patted the top of his hair. “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing, I’m going to cook,” Cheng Qi’s face burned when he came back to his senses, and he made an excuse and ran out.
.
In the evening, every household was warming up the stove to prepare dinner, and smoke was floating in the village. Cheng Qi couldn’t help but feel a little more longing on his face when he heard the sound of children chasing and playing. He quickly suppressed his emotions when he noticed someone approaching.
“Little doctor, you really live here,” as soon as Gui Lan walked to the yard, she saw Cheng Qi’s figure and stepped forward warmly.
Cheng Qi found out that the person who came was the mother of the child who fell into the water today and greeted with a smile, “Auntie, why are you here?”
“I heard that you are going to live in the village. It’s getting late now. I’m afraid it’s too late to go shopping, so I brought you some food. Let’s make do with it tonight,” Gui Lan said and handed the bamboo basket in her hand to Cheng Qi.
“No, no, no, aunt, please take it back,” it was the first time Cheng Qi met such an enthusiastic person, and he was a little scared for a moment.
“Don’t be polite to Auntie. Here are some whole grains and vegetables grown in our own backyard. Don’t dislike Auntie’s gift, little doctor,” Gui Lan smiled and stuffed the basket into Cheng Qi’s hand and hurried back, “Auntie has something to do at home, so I will go first.”
“Auntie, walk slowly,” Cheng Qi raised his hand and waved, then glanced at the bamboo basket in his hand.
There were two bowls of brown rice porridge still wrapped in bran and a plate of dry fried vegetables, but Cheng Qi felt warm in his heart, so he decided to eat these tonight.
When Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan sat down at the dining table and took a sip of brown rice porridge, they both paused. The brown rice didn’t taste very good. Li Tianyan, who had been carefully raised by Cheng Qi, suddenly lost his appetite, but in the end, the two of them insisted on finishing the food.
Cheng Qi asked Li Tianyan curiously while packing away the used dishes and chopsticks, “Didn’t the young master say that dragon vein is a Feng Shui holy land, but the people in Hejia Village seem to be living a bad life.”
Cheng Qi hadn’t seen poverty in the countryside either. But it was still rare for a whole village like Hejia Village to be in such a state of poverty.
Li Tianyan glanced at him and then said, “The more unique a geomantic treasure land is, the easier it is to become a dangerous place if not handled properly.”
“Is there a way to solve it?” Cheng Qi opened his big eyes and stared at him for a moment.
Li Tianyan looked at him.
“It depends on fate,” Li Tianyan knew what Cheng Qi was thinking but did not answer directly.
Sure enough, when Cheng Qi heard what he said, he immediately stopped asking and went to wash the dishes.
.
After dinner, the sky outside also darkened. In order to save oil lamps, the villagers went to bed early. The whole village became silent, and only the hoots of owls echoed in the village.
Li Tianyan took off his shirt and was about to go to bed to rest. He saw Cheng Qi making the bed with his butt sticking out. Li Tianyan took a quick glance and quickly averted his eyes.
“Young master, you can sleep now,” Cheng Qi made the bed and laid down on it. He found that Li Tianyan was still standing still and patted the place next to him as a reminder.
