627. Chapter 627: The golden phoenix under the plane tree
Li Yan'er relied on her status as the Ninth Aunt and was completely indifferent to Chu Bai. She seemed to treat Chu Bai as if she were her own nephew, and would occasionally scold him.
However, Chu Bai also felt that Li Yan'er was an interesting woman. No wonder Chu Laojiu and the old devil were fascinated by this woman back then. It was not that Li Yan'er was profound, but that she was not so delicate and pretentious when interacting with others.
Chu Bai could tell that she really regarded him as her nephew.
Although... although Li Yan'er seems to be younger than Chu Bai, a few years younger, in fact she is really Chu Bai's ninth aunt, there is no doubt about this.
Chu Bai relied on the power of the black beads to easily break through the eighteen layers of defensive formations, and then escaped from the east side silently.
Now that his cultivation level has become that of a Celestial Immortal, he is more skillful in controlling the Black Bead. Even the energy fluctuations emitted by the Black Bead when it flies away are barely noticeable. If he is not a top expert, he is even below the Immortal Emperor level.
It's impossible to discover.
Even the masters of the Immortal Emperor will never be able to detect the existence of the black beads if they are not paying attention and are not within the scope of their spiritual consciousness.
After easily flying out of Wushan, Chu Bai escaped from the black bead and continued south along the official road.
Hongzhou City is in the south. If you want to buy a large amount of rice, you can only go to Hongzhou City.
The cost of food and drink for more than a thousand bandits is an extremely huge amount, so some small grain stores in the county guard city cannot provide it.
Fortunately, Hongzhou City is only a little over a month away from Wushan, and it takes over two months to go back and forth.
Chu Bai is very fast, maybe he can go back and forth in a month, and in the remaining month, he can still go shopping in Hongzhou City.

When Chu Bai set off from Wushan, Beishan Baiyu from Beishan Palace in Beishan City also set out. She didn't inform anyone, not even Beishan Jiujiu knew about it. She just carried her piano on her back, teleported out of Beishan City, and then walked on
It's a small road, not an official road.
That's right, in order to avoid Huangfu's poetry, she took a small road, and she also had to arrive at Hongzhou in advance to check it out.
Hongzhou is also her second hometown. In order to avoid disasters, her family lived in the Hongzhou area for hundreds of years. During those hundreds of years, her Beishan family and Huangfu family had a very good relationship.
In the end, she became the Great Emperor, so she moved to Beishan City.
She is not the top emperor, not even in the top 100 in the ranking of immortal emperors, and her cultivation is actually only in the middle stage of the immortal emperor, and has not reached the late stage.
However, her cultivation level has not reached the late stage of the Immortal Emperor, but it does not mean that her combat power is not strong. In fact, her combat power is very strong, and she even defeated a person in the late stage of the Great Emperor before.
It was precisely because of that battle that she laid her foundation in the fairy world, and she also had a venerable backer behind her, so she was able to rule a continent of one heaven.
Although the Western Continent of First Level Heaven has few resources and is very far away, it is still a region of the Immortal Realm after all. There are many great emperors who are watching here. If she did not have some strength and some backing, her Beishan family would have been cannibalized long ago.
Not even the dregs are left.
Stop and go along the way, what she likes most is this kind of relaxed life, playing and walking around alone, this is what she yearns for the most on the long journey of spiritual practice.
Before becoming the Great Emperor, she still had some space and time of her own, but after becoming the Great Emperor, her responsibilities and everything she had no longer seemed to be her own.
She has to listen to her patron, be responsible for the prosperity of her family, manage the Western Continent, and interact with some great emperors. The biggest headache for her is the Nantian Gang, the largest bandit in the Western Continent.
It is true that she killed the wife and son of Lord Nantian, but the wife and son of Lord Tiantian were not good things either. Her wife was very vicious, and her son was full of bad habits, so she killed him as soon as she could.
There is no burden on my heart.
In order to avenge his wife and children, the leader of Nantian Gang has carried out assassinations and various kinds of revenge against her Beishan family in recent years.
So in fact, she seemed to be chained up. She had no free space and time. She was always worried about the family's crisis and managed all the affairs of the Western Continent.
But these are not what she wants.
However, everything cannot be repeated, and she can only go on step by step.
This trip to Hongzhou was actually a way for her to relax. She even planned to go to the Nantian Gang to completely eliminate the Nantian Gang's banditry. If the Nantian Gang could also be eliminated, then she would have more free time, at least fate
The enemy is gone.
Twenty-seven days later, after traveling all the way, she finally quietly walked into Hongzhou City, her second hometown.
On the same day, Chu Bai also entered Hongzhou City, but one of them entered from the north gate and the other from the south gate, so there was no intersection.
Hongzhou City can be considered a big city, but it is still too small compared to the big city of Beishan, and there is nothing that really interests Beishan Baiyu.
Of course, except for old residential areas.
The old residential area had long been demolished and rebuilt. When it was demolished and rebuilt, the Huangfu family also sought her opinion and said that they wanted to build an ancestral hall there for future generations to pay their respects. However, she did not agree at that time because in the fairy world, the ups and downs of the family were too
If there were too many, if one day her Beishan family lost power, then this ancestral hall would probably suffer, so she proposed that the old site be demolished and built into a commercial district.
Yes, the old residential area is already a commercial area.
This was the only place she was interested in after entering Hongzhou City. Although it was not as prosperous and lively as Beishan City, there were still some shadows of the past here. There was even a sycamore tree still growing, which was located right in the business district.
central.
This tree was left behind by the Huangfu family because she and Huangfu Shiyu planted it together.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the trees are still there, but the people have changed.
"Huh?" Just as she was looking at the sycamore tree in the distance and recalling bits and pieces of the past, there was suddenly a person in her sight, a person who was circling around the sycamore tree.
The man looked about twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, with handsome features and a tall stature. However, these were not the reasons why she paid attention to this man. The reason why she noticed the man in her sight was because he was seeing
At the moment when I looked at the sycamore tree, there was a glint in my eyes. There was greed, nostalgia, and even a hint of reluctance in that glimmer!
She couldn't understand that when a man saw a tree, he would have such complicated emotions, even greed?!
She believed that she would never be wrong. That man was greedy for this thousand-year-old tree.
But what can he covet? In the fairy world, although there are not many such sycamore trees, these trees are useless. They are not good wood for chopping firewood.
So he noticed this strange man and didn't understand or understand why he would be greedy for a tree.
"Is there any secret hidden in the tree?" Beishan Baiyu, who has a girlish nature, curiously used her spiritual thoughts to explore the inside of the trunk and the bottom of the tree.
But after looking at it for a long time, she was disappointed. There was nothing inside the trunk and nothing at the bottom of the tree.
But there is nothing, so why is he greedy? And where does his nostalgia and reluctance come from? He didn't plant this tree?
The man walked around under the tree three or four times, and after using his spiritual consciousness to explore inside and out, he left and entered a grain store not far away.
"What a weird person." Beishan Baiyu muttered and walked forward. He didn't stop until he reached the bottom of the tree. Then he sat down and put the piano he was carrying in front of him. He didn't play it, but just played quietly.
Watching people coming and going.
Chu Bai spent a full hour in the grain store to buy ten years' worth of rice for a thousand people. This rice grain store was big enough. I heard it was owned by the Beishan family. As long as he took the money,
We have all kinds of rice and grains, and no one will come to question you, so you can buy with confidence.
When Chu Bai walked out of the rice and grain store and glanced at the sycamore tree again, his eyes narrowed because a girl had sat under the sycamore tree at some point.
That's right, she is a girl, she looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, her cultivation is in the late stage of immortality, she is very beautiful, and she is dressed very simply. She is holding a piano in her arms, as if she is waiting for someone.
After Chu Bai looked at the girl inside and out, he didn't find anything special or different about the girl. She was just a girl, so he didn't pay too much attention.
In fact, the reason why he walked around under the sycamore tree several times before was that he was indeed greedy for the sycamore tree. Beishan Baiyu was not wrong about this.
The reason why he became greedy for the sycamore tree was because he had a special affection for the sycamore tree.
When I was practicing in the secular world, there was a ten-thousand-year-old sycamore tree in Xiao Huantian of Tianji Sect. The history of that tree can even be traced back to the first generation of Tianji Sect. The tree in Tianji Sect is almost exactly the same as this tree.
It seemed like it had been plowed out and planted here, so the first time he saw it, he instantly recalled the past.
His master also often said that the phoenix tree is an auspicious tree and can attract golden phoenixes.
He even remembered that he and many senior sisters were swinging under the sycamore tree, playing hide-and-seek and other interesting things, as well as the great master's sermons, etc., all held under the old sycamore tree.
So he planned to uproot the sycamore tree at night and transplant it into the black bead.
It was nothing to plow a tree. Somehow, he plowed it and left. So he didn't regard it as anything important, and he didn't pay attention to the girl. He just thought that the girl had sat there enough and would leave when she was gone.
.
He turned around and entered a restaurant. The second floor was next to the window, which happened to be on the canopy of the sycamore tree. When he lowered his head, he could see the sitting girl.
However, something disappointing happened to him. He drank several bottles of wine and waited for a few hours. When it was getting dark, the girl was still sitting there blankly, as if she was a fool and had no home.
Just like those who returned home, they sat there motionless.
"She won't sit here all night, right? I'm going to plow the tree and leave!" Chu Bai was a little annoyed. He had to plow the tree, but if the girl sat there, how could he steal the tree?
