#175 - I say it's true, it's true
“Immortal Master, someone is looking for you.”
Xu Ming, who was meditating with his eyes closed in the village chief's courtyard, heard Shi Village Chief's voice.
Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes: “Who is looking for me?”
Shi Village Chief said: “It's a fat man, shorter than you by a head, Immortal Master. He calls himself Yuan Yu.”
“…” Xu Ming didn't expect Yuan Yu to come so quickly.
“That's a friend of mine, let him in.” Xu Ming said.
“Yes, Immortal Master.” Shi Village Chief nodded and hurried out to lead in the chubby man.
“Yuan Yu pays respects to Master.”
In Shi Village, a chubby middle-aged man saw Xu Ming in the courtyard and bowed deeply.
“No need to be so polite.” Xu Ming stood up and went forward to help Yuan Yu up.
Xu Ming sized up the chubby middle-aged man.
He didn't expect Yuan Yu to look like this after transforming.
How should he put it? It was quite in line with Xu Ming's imagination.
After all, Yuan Yu's original form was quite fat.
“Village Chief Shi, I want to have a good chat with my friend.” Xu Ming said to Shi Village Chief.
Shi Village Chief naturally understood Xu Ming's meaning: “Alright, Immortal Master, call me if you need anything.”
Shi Village Chief walked out and closed the courtyard door tightly.
“Come, sit.” Xu Ming pointed to the seat next to him.
Yuan Yu stood aside: “It's alright, Master, I'll just stand.”
Xu Ming smiled: “No need to be like this. Although I am the master of the Baiwa Secret Realm, I am ultimately just a small cultivator. You don't need to be so afraid of me. Just treat me as a friend.”
“Then this little one will be impolite.” Yuan Yu was a little embarrassed, but afraid of making Xu Ming unhappy, he still sat down next to Xu Ming, his fat buttocks only touching a little of the stone bench.
Xu Ming poured a cup of tea for Yuan Yu. Yuan Yu quickly stood up again, reaching out to take the cup of tea.
Xu Ming didn't say anything more. Anyway, he would know his personality after spending time with him in the future.
“Next to this Shi Village, there is a Yellow Sand River. There is an evil dragon in the river. A few days ago, I came to Shi Village and stayed overnight at Luo Sanniang's house…” Xu Ming went straight to the point, telling Yuan Yu about the general situation of Shi Village.
“What about it? Do you have the confidence to kill that dragon?” After speaking, Xu Ming asked Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu smiled: “Of course, I have the confidence. Not to mention that the other party has just entered the Golden Core Realm, even if I face that evil dragon alone, I'm afraid I can skin him and pull out his tendons.”
“That's good.” Xu Ming nodded, “I'm also afraid that the evil dragon has other helpers, which will be difficult to deal with.”
Xu Ming stood up, patted his clothes: “Let's go, I'll take you to the open space in Shi Village to take a look. You can familiarize yourself with the terrain first. Tonight, we will set up the magic circle. After it's done, besides the heart blood of that evil dragon, you can take whatever you want.”
“Thank you, Master!” Yuan Yu bowed again.
Xu Ming brought Yuan Yu to the open space. Yuan Yu measured it a few times with his feet, and then drew on the ground with a tree branch, as if making some marks.
In the evening, Xu Ming and Yuan Yu ate at the village chief's house.
Shi Village Chief didn't ask much about the Immortal Master's friend, but Shi Village Chief felt more at ease. After all, more people meant more help, and there would be a better chance of killing that evil dragon.
Yuan Yu looked at the little girl who was following the Master, and was actually a little curious.
This little girl named Shen Shengsheng had eyes like those of the Dragon race, giving people a sense of coercion.
But Yuan Yu didn't ask much.
This little girl seemed to trust the Master very much, and the Master cared about her very much.
At night, Xu Ming and Yuan Yu went to that open space. Yuan Yu set up the magic circle, and Xu Ming watched from the side, also intending to learn a little.
Generally, cultivators have several side jobs.
For example, array masters, alchemists, puppet masters, beast tamers, etc.
In short, there are all kinds of side jobs, all based on the cultivation techniques they practice.
Xu Ming didn't plan to master every side job of a cultivator.
It would be good enough for him to have some achievements in the two side jobs of array master and alchemist.
Yuan Yu also knew Xu Ming's thoughts, so he explained to Xu Ming while setting up the formation.
Although Yuan Yu knew that the Master probably wouldn't understand, it wouldn't hurt to learn a little.
Two nights later, Xu Ming set up a layer of "Heart-Fear Array" in the open space where the temple fair was held, and Toad Yuan Yu set up a layer of "Dragon-Trapping Array", a layer of "Heart-Twisting Array", and a layer of "Dragon-Slaying Array".
Then Yuan Yu set up a "Hidden Array".
The purpose of the Hidden Array was to prevent those who came from detecting the formation, and by the time they really detected it, it would be too late.
Xu Ming looked at the sky. Now he was just waiting for the temple fair to begin.
That night, Xu Ming stayed up all night, sitting in the courtyard and constantly deducing what might happen tomorrow.
“Brother Xu, drink water.”
A childish voice sounded beside Xu Ming.
Xu Ming turned his head and saw the little girl's clear and innocent eyes.
Luo Sanniang's daughter was named Luo Xiaoman.
Although this little girl was a little dark and had freckles on her face, she was not as delicate and pretty as Shen Shengsheng.
But her eyes were big and very agile, giving people a very spiritual feeling.
“Thank you.” Xu Ming took the bowl and drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.
“Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?” Xu Ming smiled and rubbed Luo Xiaoman's little head.
“I can't sleep.” Luo Xiaoman sat on the stone stool next to Xu Ming, her legs together, her little hands on her thighs, looking like a well-behaved girl.
“You can't sleep at such a young age.” Xu Ming smiled, “There will be more troubles when you grow up, what will you do then?”
Listening to Xu Ming's words, Luo Xiaoman lowered her little head.
“What's wrong?” Xu Ming asked.
“Brother Xu, will I still have a chance to grow up?” Luo Xiaoman raised her head, her big, agile eyes blinking as she looked at Xu Ming.
Xu Ming: “Huh? Why do you say that?”
Luo Xiaoman: “Brother Xu, am I going to be eaten tomorrow?”
Looking at the little girl's shaking eyes, Xu Ming's expression froze slightly.
“No, you won't.” Xu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand, placing his big palm on her head.
“Tomorrow, you just need to sit obediently. If you're tired, take a nap. When you wake up, everything will be over. Then you will grow up safe and sound, become a big girl, marry someone you like, be a good wife and mother, and live a stable life.”
“Really?” The little girl's eyes shone with hope.
“Really.” Xu Ming hooked her nose, “If I say it's real, then it's real.”
