I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 255 Encounter on a narrow road

January passed quickly, during which Meng Shulan, Lin Qingquan, Zhang Jinwu, Wei Xiaole, and even Meng Yanxu stayed on the mountain to cultivate.

The troops stationed at the foot of the mountain were also on high alert, waiting for the fifteenth day of the month.

The town of Qingshui is currently in a solemn atmosphere. Most of the ordinary people have already moved out, and those who remain are either elderly or those who chose to stay because they did not want to leave.

During this time, Xiao Qi went to the Grand Canyon, found Lin Yan, and stayed there with him for a few days.

Based on his memory, Lin Yan found the large rock that his father had placed there when he was unconscious. It was a black, shiny rock.

The surrounding vegetation was lush and verdant, and its location in a corner on the back side of the valley perfectly concealed the black rock. If Lin Yan hadn't retained some of his memories, he would have had a hard time finding this place.

But after several days I still hadn't seen the moon, so I figured it would only appear on the fifteenth of the lunar month.

The last time I saw it by chance outside the Grand Canyon was also on the 15th.

Lin Yan and Xiao Qi discussed that he would stay here until the full moon appeared and overlapped, and then see if he would go to the Lingfeng Mountain Secret Realm again.

"But the secret realm won't open for another two years. If you go there, won't you have to stay inside for two years?"

Time in the cultivation world is the same as here. If the secret realm is closed, what will happen if you go there? Xiao Qi doesn't know.

However, Lin Yan had a different idea. "Give Grandpa a list of the materials needed to repair the membrane. I'll go in and look around first. Maybe I'll have collected them all by the time the secret realm opens."

He knew that some things were not so easy to obtain, but each secret realm only opened for a month. Could he possibly find them all in such a short time?

That's why Lin Yan planned to go in and look for it ahead of time.

He also thought of another important point: "If we can go from this side when the moon is in conjunction, can we also come from the other side? Maybe if I find everything, I can come back when the moon is in conjunction again."

I'll only feel at ease if I try it.

Xiao Qi had this idea before, but the plan changed and she couldn't come and try it herself this time.

After giving the list to Lin Yan, she instructed him, "When you get to the secret realm, mark each place with the letters 'OK,' so your fifth senior brother can understand it. That way, if you haven't come out when the secret realm opens in two years, we can go in and find you."

Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but worry again, "Be careful. If the passage opens, don't stay there after you go in. Your own safety should be the priority."

He paused for a moment, then said to his granddaughter, "We should do what we are capable of. This world is not your responsibility alone. If a large number of demons rush in, then you can't be blamed."

People are selfish. There are so many cultivators in this world, yet only a few come to Qingshui Town to help. Why should the Lin family have to fight back with all their might?

Lin Yan had almost died once, and now that he was finally reunited with his children and grandchildren, he honestly wanted to take them to the cultivation world and leave all the troubles here behind.

The Lin family in the cultivation world has a pure and upright family tradition, and the patriarch is tolerant of him, letting him come back or go back as he pleases.

If given the chance, he really wanted to introduce the child to his ancestor.

A Nascent Soul cultivator in his teens! If the Ancestor knew this was a member of the Lin family, he would be overjoyed.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I value my life very much."

I wasn't used to calling it that at first, but after saying it the first time, it came out naturally.

After all, the father and son had fought together against enemies in the cultivation world. Compared to her father, Lin Qingquan, Lin Yan got along much better with his granddaughter.

That brat has never called me "Dad" even once.

Thinking of her son, Lin Yan, she felt no good at all.

With the fifteenth still a few days away, Lin Yan escorted Xiao Qi out of the Grand Canyon and then stopped at the nearest town to buy some food and supplies. Having grown up in the modern world, even though she had followed her ancestor for decades, she still wasn't used to the fasting pills.

The grandfather and grandson came out of the Grand Canyon, but unexpectedly encountered a group of people at the entrance.

Xiao Qi glanced casually in that direction, then stopped.

The group of ten on the other side also stopped. To be precise, the leading couple stopped, so the others naturally stopped as well.

"Meng Qi?"

The last time I saw Xiao Yuehua, Xiao Qi was only five years old. First, she was knocked unconscious by her mother, then buried by her, and then her father used his internal force to sever her tendons.

I thought this woman was already a cripple, and that it would be difficult for her to cultivate again. I didn't expect that she had been cured.
Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow. The Xiao family is quite capable.

Both she and her daughter have been quite busy these past few years. Even when they weren't busy, they wouldn't pay attention to someone unimportant.

So it's normal that we don't know anything about Xiao Yuehua.

Surprisingly, Xiao Yuehua recognized her at a glance after eight years.
It seems they've done a lot of research on her behind the scenes.

Xiao Qi looked Xiao Yuehua up and down. She was nearly forty years old and had changed quite a bit compared to eight years ago. Xiao Qi was able to recognize her only because of her slanted eyes that carried a gloomy aura and looked at people with a ruthless and sinister look.

Perhaps it's because I've made myself more abnormal through the treatment of my meridians over the years.

"Xiao Qi, do you know her?"

Lin Yan doesn't know Xiao Yuehua. After returning, he didn't go anywhere except for Sanqing Mountain and the Grand Canyon, so no one knows that Lin Qingquan's father is still alive.

He had no intention of letting anyone know.

But the woman's gaze toward her granddaughter was clearly malicious, which he found very offensive.

"do not know."

Xiao Qi looked away and replied casually, then lifted her foot and continued walking forward.

"Catch her!"

At Xiao Yuehua's command, the men accompanying her quickly surrounded Xiao Qi and Lin Yan.

Xiao Qi looked over with amusement, "Xiao Yuehua, are you sure you want to arrest me?"

Upon hearing that the other person's surname was Xiao, Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Are you from the Xiao family of Longshan? Xiao Chenghai's daughter?"

"That's right. Before my mother gave birth to me, she lured a pig demon over, which almost killed my mother and me. I've had a grudge against my mother ever since."

Upon hearing the words "almost died," Lin Yan's face darkened. He unleashed his previously restrained aura, and before the eight people surrounding the grandfather and grandson could even get into position, they felt a surge of energy hit their chests. Instantly, their blood surged, and unable to withstand it, their bodies leaned back, and they were all knocked to the ground with a series of thuds.

Xiao Yuehua looked at Lin Yan in shock, recalling that he had just mentioned her father's name, and asked with apprehension in her eyes, "May I ask your surname, senior? Do you know my father?"

"It's more than just knowing each other!" Lin Yan only said this one sentence, but never mentioned who he was.

He glanced at Xiao Yuehua, then looked at the man beside her with a probing look in his eyes.

Xiao Qi chuckled, "Grandpa, you noticed it too?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding trees and leaves seemed to come alive, instantly surging up to completely surround the couple.
