After saying that, Li Ping'an turned around and jumped out of the cloud boat. He first flew towards a river valley. When he approached the river valley, he rode on the clouds, held his head high and held his chest high, and landed in the peach blossom forest deep in the river valley.

On the cloud boat, Li Dazhi said with a smile: "My family is getting more and more handsome!"

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Are you really not going to tell him about the situation of the Mu family?"

"Well," Li Dazhi said, "Ping'an is smart and must have guessed that there is a problem here. Let him ask it himself. What he has seen with his own eyes is much simpler than our explanation. Maybe there will be new discoveries."

Qingsu asked: "What's wrong?"

Senior Xu Sheng also looked over with confusion.

Li Dazhi looked at Wang Xinhui, who cupped his hands and began to slowly talk about his previous investigations.

…

“What a rich vitality.”

Near the peach blossom forest in the river valley, Li Ping'an exclaimed in admiration.

His spiritual consciousness covers a radius of hundreds of miles, and he vaguely feels that the surrounding river valleys and the mountains and forests everywhere form a "slightly connected" natural formation, making the spiritual energy in this river valley a bit richer than other areas.

Compared to other areas in the world, this is a good place for spiritual practice.

Li Ping'an noticed the formation that enveloped the peach blossom forest.

This formation is not difficult to break, it seems to just tell the outside world that there are Qi Refiners living here.

Viewed from the clouds, the Peach Blossom Forest is dotted with dozens of houses, including rows of bamboo houses and exquisite attics. Two small rivers intersect in the Peach Blossom Forest, and several children can be seen practicing martial arts and meditating on the grass beside the river.

.

In the distant mountains and forests, there are hunters chasing animals;

In the fertile fields on the edge of the peach blossom forest, large areas of millet grains grow naturally, and there are more than a dozen figures clearing weeds from the millet grains.

Li Ping'an released his aura, revealing the Taoist rhyme derived from Wan Yun Jue, and said loudly from the clouds:

"Li Ping'an, a disciple of Wanyun Sect, came to visit the Mu family!"

Then, he rode the clouds to the outside of the peach blossom forest and stood in front of the stone tablet with the word "Mujia" written on it.

He shouted this, and the peach blossom forest immediately became lively.

Not long after, four women came walking on peach blossoms.

The woman at the head looked quite young, with long hair disheveled and a wide robe. She seemed to have woken up from meditation. She had cultivated in the Void Refining Realm, and her Tao Yun was in the same line as the outer sect of Wan Yun Sect.

The remaining three should be the maids of the Mu family. They are wearing long silk skirts and uniform double-ring buns. They are almost all of the strength of the God Converging Realm.

The woman looked Li Ping'an up and down several times, mostly surprised:

"Are you...Senior Brother Ping An? Oh, no, you are Ping An? It's exactly the same as the portrait Ning Ning gave you."

Li Ping'an blinked and said with a smile: "I have met my senior, Li Ping'an, and I have a close relationship with the priest sister. I took the liberty of visiting today. I wonder if it will disturb the purity of the precious land."

"Don't bother, don't bother!"

The woman suddenly smiled. Seeing Li Pingan's handsome face with red face and white teeth, she felt the charm of Li Pingan's body that she could not see through at all. She was overjoyed for a moment.

The woman hurriedly said: "You can't call me senior, I am an outer disciple of our Wan Yun Sect. According to the rules, I should call you senior brother!"

"You belong to Ningning..."

"Aunt! I am Ning Ning's aunt, my name is Lin Fei!"

The woman turned sideways to greet him:

"Don't talk here anymore, please come inside! Ning Ning has sent several letters to her family over the years, and there is your portrait in them.

"We are all a family, so there is no need to be too polite...

"By the way, where is my Ningning? Hasn't she come back?"

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I was out tracking the traces of some evil spirits and happened to pass by here. I thought that Ning Ning had always talked about the peach blossom forest at home before, so I thought I would take this opportunity to come and visit."

Li Ping'an took out his disciple's jade plaque and said with a smile: "This is a greeting. I wonder if Ning Ning's mother is okay?"

"What a coincidence," Aunt Lin Fei sighed, "Ning Ning's parents went out on a heroic mission and were not at home... Please, please come quickly, come over for tea, you have to talk to me nicely, Ning Ning

Can you practice seriously after becoming a disciple?"

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling more doubtful in his heart.

The father said that Ning Ning’s mother was seriously ill.

But this Aunt Lin Fei said that Ning Ning's parents were out.

Could it be...that something happened at home?

Li Pingan began to explore everywhere more carefully.

When he stepped into the peach blossom forest, he found that there were some ingenious formations hidden in the peach blossom forest, which was wider.

Most of these formations are integrated with nature. Perhaps they are too old and have no traces of when they were built.

Lin Fei led him into a secluded bamboo house.

The bamboo building is transparent from front to back, and the breeze in the hall blows up the gauze curtains by the windows, bringing with it the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

"Peace, you sit down and drink tea first, and I'll prepare some food for you."

Lin Fei smiled and said:

"I will arrange for a few more people to go find Ning Ning's parents. Now that they are here, you can stay for a few more days!"

"Don't worry about it."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"The order from the master's sect is with me, so I can't stay for a long time. I just wanted to pick a peach blossom and bring it back to my junior sister, and then bring some letters from home for my junior sister.

"Practice in the mountains is often lonely, and she misses home very much. She always says she wants to come back for a visit, but she has never been able to make the trip."

"Hey! OK! The food still needs to be prepared!"

Lin Fei smiled and sighed:

"This child is able to worship the immortal master. It is a blessing that has been cultivated for many generations. How can I do it if I am always worried about my family?

"Everything is fine and safe at home, as you can see. The Mu family is well off, and her parents are in good health, so why worry?

"Just drink your tea, and I'll cook some good food for you!"

"Hey! Auntie, you're not busy!"

"Be busy, be busy!"

Lin Fei's eyes were full of emotion, she smiled from ear to ear, and flew directly towards the attic next door.

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly and kept thinking in his heart.

The three maids came in with the refreshments. After placing them, they bowed their heads and left. Each of them secretly looked at Li Ping'an's face.

There were many figures in the peach blossom forest, and they were all looking this way. One said, "That's Senior Brother Ping An," and the other said, "Our husband, Ning Ning, is so handsome."

Li Ping'an thought to himself: 'It's strange, there is no trace of blood here, the herders are all so peaceful, there should be no killing on weekdays.'

Then why did Aunt Lin Fei lie?

Aunt Lin Fei was originally an outer disciple of the Wan Yun Sect, and was a close friend of Ning Ning's mother. She followed Ning Ning's mother back to live in the herdsman's house.

aunt?

Logically speaking, it should be called aunt. Why call her aunt?

Li Ping'an was thinking this, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly caught Aunt Lin Fei quietly leaving the attic and rushing to the bamboo house not far away.

The bamboo house is shrouded in a simple formation.

Li Ping'an felt offended in his heart, his spiritual sense penetrated into it, and his brows twitched slightly.

An old woman was getting up from the bed... No, this shouldn't be an old woman.

Her face is very young, but her hair is gray, her vitality is weak, and there are many wrinkles on the back of her hands, but there are no obvious wrinkles on her neck or face.

It always felt like the vitality inside her body, like the leaves that wither and turn yellow in summer, leaving her one by one.

Her appearance is very similar to Ningning...

Aunt Lin Fei sighed: "Don't get up."

"No," the 'old woman' said with a gentle smile on her lips, "Ning Ning's senior brother Ping An comes here in person, how can I not meet him? Just say, I am Ning Ning's grandma, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

She was about to stand up tremblingly, but Lin Fei quickly stepped forward to help her.

"Alas," Lin Fei said, "Ning Ning always praises her senior brother in her letters for how smart she is. If he finds out..."

"If he can see through it, then I will feel more confident about leaving Ning Ning in his care."

The 'old woman' had a look of peace in her eyes as she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the dressing table.

He took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it, and found two pills inside.

She took out a pill and put it into her mouth, frowning and swallowing.
