Chapter 74: Virtuous Deception
It was completely dark, and a roaring bonfire was lit on the river beach, and a group of people sat around the bonfire to grill fish, all of which Chu Jun caught in the river. Because it was almost dark, and Ning Yun and Shen Xiaobao were still quite weak, everyone decided to rest for one night first and set off again tomorrow morning to return to Five Thunder City.
The air was filled with an enticing fragrance, and Shen Xiaobao held the steaming grilled fish and chopped it with relish. Ning Yun lost her appetite and watched Shen Xiaobao eat listlessly.
"Ning Yun, why do you have a sad face all day long, like a resentful woman!" Shen Xiaobao said while eating.
Ning Yun glared at him and said, "I can't stop your mouth if I have to eat!"
Chu Jun glanced at her, this girl is usually very lively, it seems that this experience has hit her hard, but it may not be a good thing, at least it looks calm and mature, that arrogant arrogance has been restrained, it is worth mentioning that she can always protect Xiaoxiao, obviously not as selfish as before, regardless of the life and death of others.
"Eat some, it's best to supplement some meat for blood loss, only eating spirit beans is not good for your health!" Chu Jun handed over a fish that was roasted to a golden color.
Ning Yun looked at Chu Jun with a little surprise, took the grilled fish and said puzzledly, "Why are you suddenly so good to me?"
Shen Xiaobao said hesitantly: "Chu Jun, you kid can't step on two boats with one foot, with Senior Sister Zhao, you are not satisfied, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot is not authentic!"
"Phew!" Zhao Yu and Ning Yun took a sip in unison.
Ning Yun angrily picked up a firewood branch with fire and hit Shen Xiaobao, scolding: "Stinky Xiaobao, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!"
Shen Xiaobao haha smiled and dodged away, and continued to gobble up, Ning Yun flew the firewood branch over, and Shen Xiaobao dodged it with a move of "old turtle shrinking head". Ning Yun glanced at Chu Jun, blushed and lowered his head to bite the grilled fish, but the bite was too deep, his lips were burned, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, retribution!" Shen Xiaobao gloated.
Chu Jun couldn't help but lower his head with tears and laughter, Zhao Yuwan glanced at Chu Jun, but there was a sour feeling in his heart.
"Yu'er, you can eat some too!" Chu Jun handed a grilled fish to Zhao Yu's hand.
Zhao Yu took it, smiled softly, and pointed behind him. Xiaoxiao squatted on a stone by the river with her knees crossed, holding a small porcelain vase in her hand, looking at the river in a daze. Chu Jun walked to the edge of the rock and sat down, and said lightly: "Xiaoxiao, eat something, it's okay to be hungry!"
Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Jun, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry!"
Chu Jun's heart was a little relieved, this little guy was finally willing to speak.
"If you're not hungry, you have to eat!" Chu Jun couldn't help but take her into his arms, tearing a piece of fragrant fish meat and putting it to her small mouth.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Chu Jun timidly, but still shook his head: "I'm not hungry!"
"Well, just eat a little!" Chu Jun said softly.
Xiao Xiao opened his mouth and took a small bite, then leaned on Chu Jun's chest and whispered, "I miss Daddy!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but sigh secretly, stuck the branch with the grilled fish on the ground, took out a treasure bag and said, "This is something left by your father!"
Xiaoxiao took the treasure bag, reached into it for a while, took out a green translucent crystal and handed it to Chu Jun. Chu Jun took it and looked at it, there was nothing special, and he couldn't help but look at Xiaoxiao suspiciously.
Xiaoxiao pointed to his neck and said, "Put it on!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but suddenly, took a closer look at the crystal in his hand, and found that there was indeed a small hole on it, which should be used to wear a rope, but there was no rope for stringing in the treasure bag.
"Doesn't this thing have a rope?" asked Chu Jun.
Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's broken!" and then looked at Chu Jun with blank eyes, as if he was looking forward to Chu Jun coming up with a way!
Chu Jun touched his neck and took out a yellow and clear copper coin from his arms, which was printed with the words "Guangxu ingots", which was given to him by a military team in his previous life, and I heard that he bought it at a stall outside Nanhua Temple, which was contaminated with Buddha qi and could ward off evil spirits and keep peace. Later, the comrade-in-arms died unexpectedly when he went on a mission, and Chu Jun kept wearing the fake from the stall.
Chu Jun untied the knot of the "lucky rope" strung with the copper coin, and was about to use it to put on the green crystal, but Xiao Xiao grabbed the "Guangxu ingot" and looked at it curiously, looked up and asked, "What is this?"
Seeing that she was interested, Chu Jun couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said with a smile: "This is called copper coins!"
"What's the use of copper coins?" the little bus blinked.
Chu Jun said: "Copper coins will bring good luck, and you can make your wishes come true when you wear them!"
The little eyes lit up, and he said with a blank face: "I want it!"
Chu Jun nodded and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
Xiaoxiao's eyes bent slightly, pinched the copper coin and handed it to Chu Jun: "Dai!"
Chu Jun put the copper coin back into the "lucky rope", and skewered the green crystal into it, and then put it on Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao picked up the "Guangxu ingot" under his neck and closed his eyes, and his red mouth didn't know what he was talking about.
Chu Jun couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and said, "Make a wish!"
Chu Jun chuckled in his heart and asked tentatively, "What wish did Xiaoxiao make?"
"Xiaoxiao wants to see Daddy!" Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Will Daddy really come back tomorrow?"
Chu Jun almost bit his tongue and said, "This ...... The old fairy of Guangxu is afraid ...... Not enough mana!"
The little black eyes quickly dimmed, and asked, "Brother Jun is deceiving!"
Chu Jun hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you, your willingness is too difficult to realize, the mana of the old fairy of Guangxu is not enough, and it may not be realized for a while!"
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say hopefully, "How long will it take?"
Chu Jun stubbornly said: "Five years!" Seeing that Xiaoxiao's nose wrinkled, he hurriedly said: "It will take three years at the earliest!"
Xiao Xiao stretched out his left hand and looked at Chu Jun fixedly: "You can't lie to the child!"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he also stretched out his little finger to pull the hook with Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Don't lie to Xiaoxiao!"
The little guy's eyes bent with laughter, and Chu Jun secretly said in his heart: "Coax her first, and she will understand herself in a few years!"
Xiaoxiao climbed down from Chu Jun's arms, walked to the river and poured the bottle of ashes in his hand into the water, and then seriously put the bottle into the water, watching the bottle drift away with the water, before running back and throwing himself into Chu Jun's arms, pointing to the grilled fish and saying, "Hungry!"
Chu Jun hurriedly picked up the grilled fish, tore a piece and fed it to his little mouth, and ate it sweetly. Chu Jun asked tentatively, "Xiaoxiao, why did you dump all your father's ashes into the river!"
Xiao Xiao said seriously: "Then Daddy can come back completely!"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Will Xiaoxiao be sensible to settle accounts with me later, but she is still young, and I am afraid that she will forget about the iron and stone in a few years!" Thinking of this, Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said lightly: "Xiaoxiao, Brother Jun will take you here every year in the future!"
Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Will Daddy get out of the water?"
Chu Jun smiled: "Definitely, maybe riding a big carp!"
Xiaoxiao suddenly became happy, and soon a grilled fish was eaten, Chu Jun wiped her mouth clean, and said with a smile: "Do you want more?"
Xiaoxiao patted her stomach and shook her head, "It's full!" suddenly reached out and touched Chu Jun's neck, where there were still red marks from her scratches.
The little guy leaned into Chu Jun's neck, pursed his mouth and blew, and asked, "Brother Jun, does it hurt?"
Chu Jun quipped: "I was caught by a little wild cat, do you say it hurts?"
The little guy giggled twice, suddenly pouted and kissed Chu Jun's face lightly, then shrunk into Chu Jun's arms and closed his eyes to sleep.
"Chirp, Chu Jun, this kid is really a woman, big and small!" Shen Xiaobao said enviously.
Ning Yun laughed out loud and scolded: "Just the way you look, that woman will like you, and even children will take a detour when they see you!"
Shen Xiaobao said sadly: "Am I so decrepit?"
"It's so decaying, and you still like to nag and swear, so the ghost likes you!"
Shen Xiaobao pouted and said: "That's called free and uninhibited, there is only one man like me in the world, there is no semicolon, it's just that you don't have vision, I believe there will always be a stunning beauty who appreciates Bao Ye will fall in love with me!"
Ning Yun couldn't help but vomit, and snorted: "Dream about you, you're still a stunning beauty!"
Zhao Yu smiled and watched the two bickering, but his heart was warm, but when he thought of Lin Ping and Ruan Fang, who had disappeared, he suddenly felt depressed, maybe he would become four people after Zhengtian Liuxiu.
At this moment, three sword lights in the night sky rushed towards this piece. Everyone couldn't help but change their colors, seeing that the three sword lights were menacing, and they did not hide the murderous aura in them, I am afraid that the person who came was not good. Chu Jun hurriedly returned to the bonfire with Xiaoxiao in his arms, and Zhao Yu and the others also stood up, looking at the sword light rushing towards this side awe-inspiringly, hoping that these people were just passing by.
"Ah, master!"
"Daddy!"
Zhao Yu and Ning Yun exclaimed almost at the same time!
The three sword lights reached the sky above everyone in the blink of an eye, and there were three fluttering foundation building period cultivators standing on the sword body, which turned out to be Ning Zhongtian, the head of the Zhengtian Sect, as well as Yu Zhenzi and the fat man Qu Zhengfeng.
The three of them were obviously overjoyed when they saw Zhao Yu and the others, and immediately put away their swords and landed. Ning Yunfei ran over and threw herself into Ning Zhongtian's arms and cried excitedly: "Daddy, you're finally here, my daughter almost can't see you!"
"Master!" Zhao Yu walked up to Yu Zhenzi with red eyes and bowed.
"Hehe, you two rabbit cubs are not dead, fortunately, very lucky!" Qu Zhengfeng stroked his hand like a smiling Buddha.
Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao's eyes showed a touch of warmth, and they said in unison: "Master!"
"Yu'er, where are those killers?" Yu Zhenzi said with a grim face, and her voice was cold.
Zhao Yu said: "We killed everyone we met!"
"Well killed!" Yu Zhenzi said hatefully: "When we find out where the nest of the ghost killer is, the teacher will definitely destroy them!"
Ning Zhongtian glanced at Chu Jun and the others, frowned, and said, "What about Ruan Fang?"
Ning Yun sobbed and said, "Ruan Fang and Lin Ping are gone, they may have been killed!"
Ning Zhongtian and the others couldn't help but change their complexions, and the terrifying momentum on their bodies suddenly exploded, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Yu, you stay, Senior Brother Qu and I will go into the Dead Ghost Forest to search!" After speaking, the sword light flashed under his feet, and the sword soared into the Dead Ghost Forest.
"You two rabbit cubs stay here!" Qu Zheng threw down a sentence and walked away with a murderous sword.
Zhao Yu asked suspiciously, "Master, how did you come?"
Yu Zhenzi said: "Your junior brother Lin Ping escaped back to the mountain gate with injuries and reported to us!"
"Senior Brother Lin Ping, has he returned to the mountain?" Zhao Yu said in surprise, Chu Jun couldn't help frowning!
Yu Zhenzi nodded and said, "It's still your Senior Brother Lin Ping's steady, but he was not lightly injured, and he was still unconscious when we set off!"
