Chapter 47: Goodness also has its addiction, a pond of golden waves

  "Ah Gong!"

  "Sir is upstairs, please accept our whole family's bow."

  Han Da, Han Er and Han Youniang, the only three people left in the Han family, supported each other and paid their respects to Ning Feng with a grand ceremony.

  They buried their heads in the yellow sand and wept uncontrollably.

  A family of three, all in a state of collapse, dazed and dispirited, with dull complexions, while expressing gratitude also vented out the pent-up emotions of this period.

  Seeing a family who had almost been destroyed, with many dead and wounded, kneeling in front of him, Ning Feng first felt that everything he had done was worthwhile, then felt somewhat embarrassed, and hastily wanted to help them up.

  The three members of the Han family did not get up, but instead knelt down in front of everyone in town and kowtowed three times, each time knocking their heads into the yellow sand.

  The strong wind can't stop it, so just accept this gift.

  He figured it out, if he didn't accept their hospitality, this simple family might not even be able to rest easy.

  In the midst of embarrassment, Ning Feng suddenly had a strange and wonderful feeling.

  Apart from the trials arranged by Tianyunzi Shizun, I don't count the gold and water obtained from showing off. It's just purely about subduing demons and helping those in dire straits escape their suffering. This feeling is actually quite nice.

  "No wonder some people spend their whole lives exorcising demons and guarding the way, never getting tired of it. It seems that doing such things is addictive."

  Ning Feng was thinking while finally helping the three members of the Han family up.

  "Sir, we have nothing to repay you with..."

  Han Da was a thick-skinned man, his face flushed bright red, he wished to bury his head in the sand again, with a face full of shame and nowhere to hide.

  "Actually, there are..."

  Ning Feng helped him pat the yellow sand off his body, and at this moment, the townspeople who had come to watch the demon's execution saw the heroic figure of Mo Yan standing there. They all gathered around, just in time to hear these words, and were stunned.

  There was a clever old man in the town who began to ponder distributing some silver money throughout the town, and even if it wasn't accurate, it would still be worth seeing. He thought that everyone wouldn't mind paying this silver money.

  Ning Feng certainly didn't want money.

  He immediately followed up with a smile and said: "I don't know if you still have the best Gān Lù Green Jade Cake at Gān Lù Bǎo?"

  "Huh?"

  No matter if it's the dragon coming to town, the three members of the Han family, or Shu Bailin who just confirmed that there was no danger and pulled out the ostrich head, each and every one of them had an urge to dig their ears.

  "There is..."

  Han Dalian nodded repeatedly, but didn't understand what was going on.

  "Then bring some over." Ning Feng's face was tinged with embarrassment as he continued, "My master is quite fond of this dish."

  The three members of the Han family looked at each other in dismay, what else could they say?

  Han Da responded and felt that it was still not enough to show his sincerity, the wooden Hanzi couldn't speak, turned around and ran home in a hurry.

  What he wants to do is self-evident.

  Ning Feng wanted to shout "don't worry" but before he could, he had already smiled and shaken his head, feeling warm in his heart.

  Right, smiling, a grain of sand kept falling down, and on top of it was the head of a tick that couldn't figure out the situation, which came out from the side.

  Only when the wind died down and the sun came out did he recognize it was Shu Baili.

  Shu Bailin skillfully plucked the scorpion from his head and flung it aside, smiling obsequiously: "Ning brothers, Lao Shenshan is still good at this trick, eh? Tsk tsk tsk."

  Ning Feng looked him up and down, feeling that something was off. Chu Bai's attitude seemed somewhat different.

  He didn't take the bait, and Shu Bailin didn't feel embarrassed either. He leaned in closer, his face beaming with excitement, and asked: "Brother Ning, now that you've gotten rid of this obstacle, when are you planning to leave Ganlu Town?"

  "Huh?"

  He asked this for what? Ning Feng felt a bit strange and honestly replied: "I don't know."

  "Huh, don't know?" Shu Bailin couldn't smile anymore, scratching his ears and cheeks, "How can you not know, how is it possible to not know?"

  Ning Feng spread his hands out, indicating he was also helpless.

  He really didn't know.

  Ganluo Fang's pastry shop, this clue points to Zhi Bu You who has been punished, what's next?

  Ning Feng thought with his toes that Tian Yunzi's purpose couldn't be to let him, apart from being a demon, walk back to the Sun God Temple on Tiandu Mountain on foot?

  Whether a lifetime is enough to walk through the long rainbow that spans the sky, Ning Feng's heart doesn't have an answer.

  "Five Golden Talismans, it's impossible that they were prepared just for a mere Step Stopping Demon."

  "Such a monster, mainly harming people's hearts and minds, its combat power is nothing more than that, using one piece would already be a waste."

  Ning Feng felt a little heartache for the golden tokens that might be used up, and vaguely had a guess: "Five Sun Golden Tokens, I'm going to face five kinds of demons this time."

  "This is a bit difficult."

  He pondered for a moment before realizing that the demon stopped at the outer wall of Ganlu Town might just be an appetizer for this time.

  The even bigger challenge is how Ning Feng can make good use of the five golden talismans and eliminate all the demons.

  Otherwise, if he uses up the talismans ahead of time and is caught by the demons, being chased all over the mountains, this person will be in big trouble. Tianyunzi probably won't give him a good look either.

  "It's good, it's good."

  Ning Feng was most fortunate that he killed the Stop Step Demon so quickly, otherwise Ning Feng might not have figured out this point yet and would have used a few more cards, setting off a big fireworks display to make an even bigger show of it.

  That's totally wailing and lamenting.

  Ning Feng couldn't help but raise his hand and wipe his forehead with the back of it, cold sweat dripping down.

  "Actually..."

  Shu Bailin's head popped into view, as if San Cun Ding's stature had suddenly grown taller.

  The wind blew and he jumped back half a step before seeing clearly, it turned out that this old fellow had tiptoed to enter his line of sight.

  "I don't know when I'll leave either."

  Shu Bailin's face was filled with sorrow, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but unfortunately, her hands were covered in sand, and her eyelids were scratched, yet no tears came out.

  "I thought Xiu Bailin was a versatile and knowledgeable person, well-versed in all things; he traveled extensively throughout the country, going wherever he pleased. But now that he's over fifty, he has accomplished nothing and is still drifting aimlessly, a rootless person."

  He said, while still forcing his eyes open, which were red and dry from lack of sleep, to sneak a peek at Ning Feng's reaction.

  What reaction can Ning Feng have?

  To be honest, the saying "learn from all schools of thought" is questionable. At least, playwrights have not learned well, looking at this amateurish performance.

  Ning Feng couldn't figure out the old man's intentions and didn't have the interest to bother with him for now. The townspeople of Hualala surrounded him, thanking him profusely until he was almost overwhelmed.

  In the simple and honest town of Gobi, even those knife-wielding guests who have been carrying knives for years can't say a few words of gratitude, repeating the same few sentences over and over again, but the sincerity behind them is undeniable.

  Enduring the humiliation with a calm demeanor, she continued to bear the awkwardness when suddenly her skirt was pulled.

  He looked down and saw a pair of buns, then a small face as red as an apple.

  "It's a big deal."

  Ning Feng crouched down, a clean smile on his face, pinching the little girl's cheek, and laughed: "Little girl, why are you pulling me? Do you want pastries?"

  He silently apologized in his heart, thinking that it was no big deal if Master didn't eat a few bites. He then prepared to share the green jade cake sent by Han Dazhuang with Xiaoyu.

  Never thought that little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then firmly blocked the pastry**, rubbed over to Ning Feng's ear and whispered:

  "Big brother, Da Yu will come find you tonight."

  "Hmm..."

  Ning Feng blinked his eyes and looked at Xiaoyao's serious face like a little adult, he was a bit slow to react.

  Of course, if this little girl were ten years older or so, she might have misunderstood what he said, but that's not Ning Feng's fault. Haven't you seen the unmarried girls in town looking over at him with infatuated expressions?

  Now, Ning Feng won't misunderstand, but curiosity has arisen. He patted Xiaoyao's head and said, "Alright, big brother will wait for you tonight."

  What could this little girl possibly have going on? Ning Feng found it amusing and didn't take it too seriously.

  The old lady still looked a bit worried, as if she was about to say something like "we're going to hang ourselves" and so on. Before she could even speak, a kind and aged voice came from outside:

  "Granddaughter, go home."

  The little girl pouted and waved goodbye to Ning Feng, then was led away by the old lady that Ning Feng had seen from afar.

  As she was leaving, the old lady smiled kindly at Ning Feng, a very well-mannered elderly person.

  Ning Feng had just said goodbye to the little girl when Han Da, panting and covered in sweat from the waist up, ran back.

  In a short while, the whole town was filled with the Korean family's heartfelt gift...

  ……

  "Finally..."

  In the best room of the largest inn in Ganlu Town, Ning Feng wiped his sweat for who knows how many times today.

  The jade plate hangs in the sky, and it has already entered the night.

  It wasn't until then that he saw off the enthusiastic townspeople and got some peace.

  "It's time to see what this harvest brings."

  Ning Feng originally wanted to wait for Xiaoyao to come forward, but now that there was no movement, he couldn't bear the itch in his heart and suddenly couldn't hold back.

  "It doesn't matter how much time it takes anyway."

  He changed his mind, turned over his palm, and a pale purple nine-orifice stone appeared in the center of his palm.

  Just as he was about to sink into his meditation, he went inside and Ning Feng let out a soft "hmm" as he discovered something unusual on the surface.

  In one of the nine holes of the Jiugongshi, a faint golden light is shining.

  The golden light is extremely faint, if it weren't for the moonlight being like water and a single lamp being like a bean, it's soft and doesn't pierce the eyes at all, he still wouldn't have noticed.

  "Could it be..."

  Ning Feng felt his heart beating twice as fast, and he didn't even want to blink, his mind fully immersed in it.

  The next moment, the familiar Jiugongshi realm appeared before his eyes.

  Hahaha!

  Ning Feng opened his eyes for the first time and couldn't help but laugh, laughing loudly, laughter rippling like a pool of golden water.

  The pool is full.
