The scholar walked all the way forward, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that a young man who was about the same as himself was sitting on a black high-headed horse, and his demeanor was like a rich boy traveling.

The scholar was about to retreat to the side to make way, when he suddenly saw the black horse coming to his side, he suddenly stopped, clasped his fists at him and said, "This brother, in Xia Ye Xuan, may I ask if you will go to Guobei County on this road?" ”

"Yes, is this brother also going to Guobei County?" When the scholar heard Ye Xuan's words, he nodded with some surprise. "My name is Ning Caichen, and I just happened to be going to Guobei County."

"It turned out to be Brother Ning, fortunately! Fortunately! Hearing Ning Caichen's self-reported name, Ye Xuan thought in his heart that this was indeed the case, and said to Ning Caichen: "It turns out that Brother Ning also went to Guobei County, what a coincidence, how about we go together?" ”

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ning Caichen was a little hesitant in his heart, looked at Ye Xuan who was riding a horse, smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "This, will it be a little inconvenient?" ”

Seeing Ning Caichen's hesitation, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "What's inconvenient?" Children of the rivers and lakes, informal, and this place is probably some distance from Guobei County, and then look at the dark clouds in the sky, it may rain soon, if you don't hurry to Guobei County or find a place to shelter from the rain, I'm afraid that the two of us will become soup chickens. ”

Soup chicken?! Hearing Ye Xuan's adjective, Ning Caichen was stunned, but immediately thought of the chicken in the rain, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, feeling that the young man in front of him was a wonderful person, and Ning Caichen was not a pedantic person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I don't dare to ask for it!" Then thank you Brother Ye! ”

"Then Brother Ning, please get on the horse! Come, I'll help Brother Ning! Ye Xuan saw that Ning Caichen agreed, so he adjusted the position of the saddle and said.

"Don't bother Brother Ye. I'll do it myself! Ning Caichen walked over, a little embarrassed to let Ye Xuan pull up, so he climbed on the back of the horse and wanted to climb up.

It's a pity that Ye Xuan's horse is relatively tall at this time, and Ning Caichen is still carrying a heavy bookcase behind him, with him being a weak scholar, it is really difficult to climb on the horse's back.

Seeing that Ning Caichen climbed twice and didn't climb up, Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ning Caichen's wrist, lifted it gently, and directly pulled him onto the horse.

"Thank you Brother Ye for your help!" Ning Caichen sat on the horse's back with a slight breath, and smiled at Ye Xuan with some embarrassment.

"Brother Ning is polite. So, let's hit the road, Brother Ning is sitting tight! Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, reminded Ning Caichen, and then gently kicked the horse's belly, urging the horse to walk forward.

"Brother Ye, in Tangxi, Jinhua, my ancestral hometown, I don't seem to hear Brother Ye's accent like Zhejiang's accent, I don't know where Brother Ye is?" I sat on a horse. Ning Caichen began to chat with him.

"I am from Huaining County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and because I have failed many times, I started to go south a year ago." Ye Xuan casually made an excuse.

"Originally, Brother Ye was also a knowledgeable person, fortunately. Fortunately! Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ning Caichen said happily to Ye Xuan.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I've only read two books. If you can't talk about high school knowledge, it's a joke. "Ye Xuan, this is not modest, because he really hasn't read the Four Books and Five Classics." It's Brother Ning, I'm looking at Brother Ning full of scholarly temperament, and it must be extraordinary to come to learn. ”

"Where, where, Ye Xuanmiao praised it, I am also like Brother Ye, I am a person who has failed many times, so how can I talk about knowledge." Ning Caichen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The two sat on the horse and walked, chatting at the same time, but they didn't feel dull, and after about half an hour, they suddenly saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, with three big characters of "Guobei County" written on it.

"Ding! Congratulations on arriving in Guobei County in half a month, and rewarding 3,000 cultivation points for completing the task! At this moment, a system prompt suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's mind.

"Ding! The system task release begins, random tasks: live in Lanruo Temple, prevent the millennium tree spirit in Lanruo Temple from harming people's lives, seal the millennium tree spirit to reward 5,000 cultivation points, destroy the millennium tree spirit reward 15,000 practice points, and deduct 5,000 practice points for mission failure. At this moment, Ye Xuan heard the voice of the system ringing in his head again.

Hearing this task, Ye Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Ye Xuan remembered that after the plot of the movie, the tree spirit grandmother was sealed by Yan Chixia for a hundred years, if this was the case, wouldn't he have to do anything, and he could get at least 5,000 cultivation points while sitting?

However, you can't think like this, the world is unpredictable, maybe he will change the plot as soon as he comes in, if he really sits and waits, if Yan Chixia doesn't seal her grandma like the original plot, wouldn't it be the end? Moreover, the system also gave him the task of destroying the thousand-year-old tree spirit, which was 15,000 cultivation points, and for so many cultivation points, he couldn't just sit still.

"Brother Ye, we have arrived at the boundary of Guobei County!" Ning Caichen, who was sitting behind Ye Xuan, also saw the boundary monument at this time, and stretched out his hand to point to the boundary monument and said happily.

"Yes, but, Brother Ning, I see that this place is quite far from the county seat of Guobei County, but the clouds in the sky are getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid it's going to rain, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first!" Ye Xuan nodded with a smile and said to Ning Caichen.

"Well, Brother Ye is right, otherwise, if it rains, we will really become one soup chicken like Brother Ning said, ah no, it's two soup chickens!" Ning Caichen said with a smile.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, rode forward, and began to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky, and before they could find a place to shelter from the rain, the rain in the sky began to fall drop by drop.

"Ah, it's raining!" Ning Caichen's face was dripping with rain, and he hurriedly reached out and pulled out an oily cardboard box from the bookbox on his body, but as soon as he opened it, he found that the oily cardboard box had been broken, and only a few pieces of oiled paper were hung on the umbrella, and even his fist could reach through it.

Looking at the umbrella in Ning Caichen's hand, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and with a flick of his right hand, a brand-new oil-paper umbrella appeared in his hand, and handed it to Ning Caichen and said, "Come, Brother Ning, use my one!" ”

"Ahh Ning Caichen was stunned when he saw the brand-new oil-paper umbrella handed over by Ye Xuan, he didn't see Ye Xuan on his body or immediately had a bag just now, why did he suddenly conjure up an umbrella?

However, the heavier and heavier the rain made him not have more time to think, he smiled at Ye Xuan awkwardly, took Ye Xuan's umbrella, put the broken umbrella in his hand into the bookcase again, opened the umbrella and put it on Ye Xuan and his head, "This rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier!" ”

"Brother Ning, you better cover the bookcase behind you, didn't you say that you are here to collect the bills? If the ledger gets wet, you won't be able to collect it! Ye Xuan looked up at most of the umbrellas on his head, and saw Ning Caichen's bookcase behind his back, and reminded with a smile.

"Ah, yes, ledger, ledger!" After hearing Ye Xuan's reminder, Ning Caichen panicked, and hurriedly took the bookcase on his back to the front, and saw that the account book was not drenched, so he smiled at Ye Xuan: "Thank you, Brother Ye, otherwise if the account book gets wet, then I really won't be able to receive the account." ”

"Brother Ning is polite!" Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, in fact, whether the rain covered the umbrella or not had no effect on him at all, with his current ability, it was still easy to change the trajectory of the rain beside him, but with Ning Caichen beside him, it was a little inconvenient for him to do it.

"Ye Xuan, look, there is a grass pavilion in front, we can go there to take shelter from the rain!" Suddenly, Ning Caichen pointed to the excitement in front of him.
