Autumn.

Outside a mountain forest in Wu State.

The breeze blew, and the withered yellow leaves swirled and fell in the air.

Wearing a white robe, Ning He walked on the official road, leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery around him.

This is the first time Ning He has gone out of the mountain in ten years, and the first time he has observed the mundane scene 'outside the cave'.

Because since Ning He suddenly came to this fairy world ten years ago, he fell into a dilapidated cave, and there was a naturally formed magic circle outside the cave, making it impossible for him to get out.

But after the initial panic when he first arrived in a different world, Ning He carefully explored and found some Bigu Pills and a Jade Talisman of Divine Mind.

The jade talisman of spiritual thoughts is equivalent to the words and deeds in consciousness.

It records Qigong training methods and some explanations of foundation building and golden elixirs.

Although Ning He has no foundation in cultivation, according to the cultivation method, he not only learned the words of this world through the jade talisman, but also completed the Qi practice in just one month and could easily leave the magic circle.

Ning He did not choose to go out, but in the next ten years, he relied on foundation building and golden elixir explanations to figure out the golden elixir on his own.

Then he saw that the jade talisman was useless to him.

Ning Hejing was very thoughtful, leaving behind the golden elixir method that he had summarized as a reward to the owner of the cave, and then left the cave where he had stayed for ten years.

Today.

It's Ninghe's first day out.

Departs at about six o'clock in the morning.

As if wandering, I walked more than 500 miles in an hour and finally arrived at the inhabited official road.

At this moment, there is a caravan driving "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" in the rear, heading towards Ninghe.

Ning He turned his head and looked around, and saw a total of four carts in the convoy, two of which contained goods. Next to them were eight guards and a middle-aged man dressed in thick brocade.

There were several farmers sitting on the other two carts, also wearing thick cloth clothes.

After ten years of living without anyone, I suddenly saw people.

Ning He didn't have any uncontrollable excitement.

Being able to cultivate to the golden elixir alone in ten years of no one's suppression has already made Ning He accustomed to peace.

As for the middle-aged man who was leading the team, he was dressed outside. When he saw Ning He with a leisurely temperament in front of him, he saw Ning He alone. There were no bandits ambushing him.

When the motorcade slowly approached Ning He, he smiled kindly and said, "Is this gentleman also going to Zhou County?"

Hear this.

Ning He suddenly remembered that he had no specific itinerary.

As we are invited, why not drop by and have a look.

Ning He thought for a moment and then answered: "I have been traveling for many days and am preparing to find a place to stay."

"This place is still more than ten miles away from Zhou County." When the Yuanwai saw that he was on the way, he pretended to guide the cart behind him, "I was waiting to come back from selling goods in other counties two days ago, and there were not many goods left.

There is some space, sir, you might as well sit down and rest your feet first."

Ning He looked back and saw that the farmers in the car behind only occupied a small part of the two carts.

"The car is full of people from our county." The guard leader next to him saw Ning He looking towards the back of the car and explained: "We met on the road these two days and went back with Zhang Yuanwai."

"The staff is kind-hearted." Ning He smiled and clasped his fists, looking at the burlap bags on the two trucks in front, "Can the goods on the truck be exposed to the rain?"

"It's probably some rice noodles." Zhang Yuanwai shook his head and said, "No rain is allowed."

"Commander Zhang had better hurry up and hurry up." Ning He looked around at the bright sky, "From what I can see, it will rain in half an hour at most."

"Is it raining?" Zhang Yuanwai covered his forehead with his palms and looked curiously at the white clouds in the sky. There was no earthy smell in his breath.

With such beautiful weather, it doesn’t look like it’s going to rain anywhere.

Including the guard leader next to him, he was also curious about the reason.

But seeing that Ning He has a distinguished temperament and looks like he is knowledgeable, perhaps this gentleman knows something about astronomical phenomena.

So I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist.

Zhang Yuanwai still asked people to put tarpaulin on the goods while speeding up the pace.

Ning He didn't say much after seeing it, and walked towards the back of the motorcade.

The convoy guards behind, as well as the people who were coming, all smiled and nodded to Ning He, who was about to accompany him.

While Ning He returned the gift, he looked northwest.

Different from the white clouds that Zhang Yuanwai saw, Ning He saw a trace of water spirit gathering there.

And in the clouds three miles away.

Ning He stared, his eyes penetrated the clouds, and saw a strong man wearing fish scale armor in the sky.

There is a token hanging on his waist, with the word "order" formed by thin water on it.

This strong man is the river god.

The water token is his decree.

Although it was the first time for Ning He to see the 'priest', there were some records about the world of cultivation in the jade talisman, including a miscellaneous travelogue describing the river god.

With these cultivation talks as a foundation, Ning He is now like a leisurely monk, and his mentality is relatively stable about meeting the priest.

It’s just inevitable that I’ll look at it a few more times.

But this fish-scaled man didn't notice Ning He's gaze, and instead took out a scroll of bamboo slips called "Yu Li".

Then he carefully calculated the amount of rain that had fallen between heaven and earth in the recent period, while preparing to make up some extra to ensure the local people's autumn harvest. He also calculated the amount of rain that was about to fall to ensure that it would not cause flooding.

Ning He looked at it for a few breaths and realized that this scene was because the river god wanted to provide extra rain and regulate the rain.

But too many looks and unobstructed visits made the river god slightly aware of it.

The River God felt the harmless gaze, and for a moment he turned his attention away from the rain calendar and looked at the ground convoy three miles away, and immediately noticed Ning He who was about to walk to the back of the convoy.

Because Ning He was the only one in the convoy looking towards the sky.

"Monk? It's hard to see." The river god was slightly surprised and clasped his fists towards Ning Heyi.

"I didn't know there was a visitor from far away."

The river god sent a message with a sense of hospitality and friendship: "The little god is busy with business today, so he cannot show up to talk about it. I would like to express my friendship to the host, and hope that my friends will be considerate."

Ning He listened to the sound transmission, felt the rhythm of the technique, and instantly learned the sound transmission method, and responded to the host with a sound transmission: "The words of the river god are serious.

I am Ninghe, just a monk in the field, wandering around Liangcheng.

To put it bluntly, I came to the boundary of Liangcheng without informing the River God in advance, and I hope that my abrupt trip will not disturb you."

"Fellow Taoist, what are you talking about?" The River God suddenly smiled and saluted again: "Little God Lianghe River God Zegeng, wait until today's rain comes to an end and come back to visit fellow Taoist here tomorrow."

"The River God is so polite." Ning He returned the gift to the sky. Seeing that the River God was interested in making friends, he also wanted to get in touch with the immortal, demonic and divine ways in detail, instead of just looking at the incomplete description in the jade talisman.

Lianghe God apologized and began to carefully review the rain calendar.

"I've seen you, sir!" The children on the trolley next to them saw Ning He holding his fists in front of him, but thought that Ning He was saying hello to him, so he panicked and imitated the adults, holding hands and said, "Hello, sir!

”

Ning He looked at the child, and while sitting in the car, he smiled and said, "Hello, little gentleman."

"My child is a little naughty. Don't blame me, sir." The child's father apologized to Ning He and looked curiously at the sky in the distance.

However, the child's father saw that Ning He seemed to be looking at the sky before, and felt that this gentleman was probably saying hello to the distance.

But there was nothing in the sky in the distance, maybe he saw it wrong.

When Ning He saw the child's father looking curiously at the sky, he also glanced into the distance again.

The river god has begun to invoke decrees to collect water vapor.

Ning He withdrew his gaze to avoid being distracted by the river god by looking too much again.

"I don't know when I can buy a yard in Liangcheng." When a man next to him saw the child's father in a daze, he smiled and nodded with Ninghe, and then chatted with the child's father about the previous topic again, talking about the child's father.

Recalled God.

"Our Zhou County is so nice, with mountains and rivers, why do we have to go to the city?" The child's father listened to his friend's yearning, but pretended to shake his head, but in fact he was reluctant to leave his drinking friend.

"Zhang Yuanwai is a kind person." On the carriage on the other side, several people were chatting about Zhang Yuanwai.

As we chatted, amidst the gratitude, we inevitably talked about Zhang Yuanwai’s property, revealing our envy of Zhang Yuanwai’s wealth.

Ning He did not interrupt, but listened quietly to the casual conversation between the two and the people next to them.

Feel the inevitable bumps in the car due to the accelerated journey.

Gradually, Ning He learned that besides Zhang Yuanwai's habit of following cars by himself, he also owned two rice shops and a cloth shop. He was somewhat famous in Zhou County and his family was quite wealthy. He was considered to be in the middle and upper reaches of Zhou County.

A rich person is respectfully called a member.
