Chapter 180 The dove takes over the magpie's nest

It was already two days later when I returned to the sect.

Yuan Ming did not return directly to his residence, but went to Huofang first.

"Junior Brother Yuan, you have been out for too long recently. Many classes in Huolian Hall have been vacant. I am afraid your contribution points are not enough, right?" After seeing Yuan Ming, Senior Brother Fangge put on a serious face. His face couldn't help but become serious.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he knew that Senior Brother Fangge had always been fair. He said these words not intentionally to make things difficult for him, but out of duty, and even a little worried about him.

After all, if you don't participate in the sect's daily schoolwork for a long time, not only will you not receive contribution points, but your existing contribution points will even be deducted.

The sect will not raise idle people.

"Senior Brother Fangge, I have been itching about the Bailuqiu Alliance recently, so I have been focusing on cultivation, which has delayed my studies here and made senior brother worry about me. But don't worry, senior brother, I have done it before. There are many other tasks, and I still have some contribution points." Yuan Ming stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"You take care of it yourself, I'm just reminding you. However, refining weapons is also a matter of hands. If you don't practice for too long, you will inevitably become handicapped." Fang Ge nodded and said without any intention of reproach.

"I understand. I just went out the day before yesterday, walking around the market, and found a very interesting metal. I wonder if senior brother can help me grow my eyes?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Take it out and have a look." Fangge was obviously very interested when he heard this.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately turned his wrist, took out a dark red metal block the size of a fist, and handed it to Fangge.

"Is this... fire red copper? This thing is not easy to find." After the latter took it, he observed it carefully for a moment, with a rare look of surprise on his face.

"It turns out to be Fire Red Copper. Senior Brother Fangge is really well-informed." Yuan Ming pretended to be surprised and said.

"Junior Brother Yuan, how much of this spiritual material do you have? Can you sell some to me?" Fang Ge couldn't put it down and asked hurriedly.

The piece of embryonic iron that he was refining recently was of magical quality, but it was precisely because of the lack of this material that he could not complete it.

"This thing is of no use to me. If you like it, senior brother, feel free to use it." Yuan Ming said.

Hearing this, Fang Ge's expression of joy condensed, and he immediately understood that Yuan Ming didn't recognize this thing. He was obviously looking for an opportunity to give it to him.

"Junior Brother Yuan, I appreciate your kindness. But the price of things must be calculated. You have to agree on a price now. I can't take advantage of you." Fang Ge said seriously.

"Okay, to be honest, I picked up two spiritual stones in the market and bought them." Yuan Ming sighed and said.

He still lied, he found this thing in some unlucky guy's storage bag.

"I'll give you three spirit stones." Fang Ge thought for a moment and said.

"Just two. This is my junior brother's wish. If it's a business, I won't sell it." Yuan Ming looked at him and said with a faint smile.

"Okay." Senior Brother Fangge heard this and nodded without hesitation.

After seeing Fangge happily accepting it, Yuan Ming said goodbye and went to Qilu again, where he met Amuhe.

Yuan Ming also prepared a gift for him.

Different from Senior Brother Fangge's strict acting style, Amuhe readily accepted it without even saying thanks.

Rather than receiving gifts, he was more concerned about Yuan Ming's previous refining of the herring sword.

After learning that Yuan Ming had successfully forged a weapon with an outsider, he strongly asked Yuan Ming to take out the sword and take a look.

Yuan Ming couldn't refuse, so he had to take out the Hanxing Sword and show it to Amuhe for appreciation.

After seeing it, Amuhe's reaction was even more intense than that of the third cave master. He couldn't help but call it "exquisite" over and over again. He held Hanxing Sword in his arms and played with it non-stop, insisting that Yuan Ming demonstrate its power to him.

Yuan Ming finally escaped, left Qi Lu and went directly to the small courtyard of the third cave master.

However, the third cave master was not there.

Yuan Ming didn't see anyone, so he turned around and went to the valley between the peaks of Huoliantang and Alchemy Hall.

The fish man was rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs, bending down and wielding a hoe to loosen the soil in the medicine field. When he saw Yuan Ming arriving, he put the hoe on his shoulder and straightened his waist.

"Senior Yuweng, I brought you wine, do you have any meat to eat today?" Yuan Ming took out two bottles of good wine that he had prepared early, raised his hands high, and shouted from a distance.

"You kid, you haven't come to see me, an old man, for a long time." Yu Weng complained slightly.

"I'm really busy these days. Why don't I come to see you as soon as I have free time?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.

The fish man carried a hoe, walked up to the field, and pulled out a magic medicine plant in the field.

"Did you buy the Central Plains seasoning I asked you to buy last time?" Yu Weng waited for Yuan Ming to approach and asked.

"I only found some peppercorns and cinnamon bark, the rest is really hard to find." Yuan Ming said truthfully.

"Hmm... Not bad, not bad. With these two things, you can already have a different taste." The fish man was delighted when he heard this, smiled and led the way, leading Yuan Ming back to his hut.

After arranging Yuan Ming to sit down, Yu Weng started his traditional craft and went out to catch fish.

After a while, when he came back, there were three plump silver-scaled colorful fish in the fish basket.

The fish man never needed Yuan Ming's help. He took care of the silver-scaled colorful fish in a few seconds and stewed it into the pot.

While waiting for the fish to be stewed, Yuan Ming took the wine bowl and poured it for Yu Weng and himself. The two started eating and drinking with some of the sauced meat and side dishes that Yuan Ming brought back.

After two bowls of wine, Yu Weng first praised him greatly, and then he saw Yuan Ming's drinking behavior and suddenly became dissatisfied.

"I said, Mr. Yuan, are you making tea? Just drink this much." Yu Weng said displeased.

"I don't want to leave more for you." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"After staying here for so many years, it's not easy to meet someone like you. You open up to drink when you come. When you come to my place, don't worry about anything else." The fish man said, and he took a sip of wine first.

Yuan Ming also drank heavily.

"Don't be restrained when drinking, and don't use magic to dispel the odor of alcohol. You just need to be a little tipsy." Yu Weng emphasized.

"Senior, what's bothering you?" Yuan Ming asked, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with Yu Weng's state today.

"I am an idle person, what can I have to worry about? Come, come, eat fish, eat fish." The fish man shook his head and said, then he picked up a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk, Yuan Ming stopped asking any more questions, and the two of them chatted.

This is the rare place where he can truly relax in Biluo Cave.

"How did you come to Biluo Cave?" Yu Weng suddenly asked.

Yuan Ming thought for a while, and without hiding anything, he told how he struggled to survive from a furry beast slave to how he joined the sect.

Yu Weng listened carefully and said nothing. He just touched the bowl with Yuan Ming and took a big sip.

Unknowingly, the sun was setting in the west, and the gap in the valley was just enough to see the setting sun being covered by darkness a little bit. Both Yuan Ming and Yuan Ming had already drank until their cheeks turned red, and they were quite tipsy.

"Boy Yuan, while I'm still drunk, let me tell you that this place is actually not called Biluo Cave." Yu Weng looked at the shadow in the distance and said suddenly.

"What's that called?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.

"Originally, there was no name here. I saw these three peaks standing next to each other and their positions corresponded to the positions of three stars in the sky, so I gave it the name Sanxing Mountain." Yu Weng said.

"The name you gave me?" Yuan Ming became more and more curious after hearing this.

"I took it." Yu Weng nodded.

After Yuan Ming heard this, his hand holding the wine bowl suddenly stopped.

"You...can't be..."

In fact, he had always had a guess in his mind. Could this kind old man be the Dinghai Shenzhen of Biluo Cave, the great elder whose name he only heard but never met?

But after more and more contacts, Yuan Ming felt that it didn't look like him anymore.

But now that he heard what he said, Yuan Ming had to think about it. After all, apart from the great elder, he could not think of anyone else who could name or change the name of Biluo Cave.

"I'm not."

Yuweng just glanced at Yuan Ming and guessed what he was thinking.

After hearing this, Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief without even noticing it.

Deep down in his heart, he didn't want Yu Wenghui to be the great elder.

"There must be an unknown past event when Sanxing Mountain was renamed Biluo Cave." Yuan Ming wondered.

Yu Weng did not answer directly, but told Yuan Ming a story:

"Did you know that there is a bird called the cuckoo in the Central Plains? They don't know how to build nests. They always lay their eggs in the magpie's nest, and for their own eggs, they will squeeze out the magpie's eggs and break them. This allows his own offspring to hatch and invade the magpie’s nest.”

Yuan Ming naturally knew the story of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, so he was frightened when he heard it, and his drunkenness disappeared all at once.

"Senior, I would like to ask, what happened to the magpie whose nest was occupied?" he asked carefully.

"Magpie? The magpie has made a small nest under the tree. They plant flowers and go fishing every day. They live a comfortable life." Hearing this, the fish man smiled and said calmly.

"It turns out that you are the old owner of Biluo Cave!" Yuan Ming said in surprise.

"When people are free, it's easy to feel nostalgic. I just miss the original graceful appearance of Sanxing Mountain." Yu Weng sighed and said.

"That's fine. If you don't fight, don't get upset, senior is really sober in the world." Yuan Ming said with relief.

Yuweng was noncommittal and drank a glass.

"Junior has long known that Senior Yu Weng is an extraordinary person, but I didn't expect you to have such an experience." Yuan Ming said puzzled.

"This Sanxing Mountain was exported by me after a fight, but I was not strong enough. Although I was reluctant to give up and unwilling to give up, I made a bet beforehand and accepted the bet. After all, if I lose, I lose." At that time, Chen Cangqiong It's still a bit tolerant. He didn't kill me or drive me away, but he wanted to take me under his command and serve him." When Yuan Ming asked, Yu Weng said bluntly.
