so simple.He could indeed devour ghostly energy, but the voices within it, filled with all sorts of negative emotions, almost led him astray.Thanks to his cultivation of the Human Dao techniques, he h..."I want it!"

Gingercloud almost blurted it out, and had already reached out with her hand, grabbing for the talisman.

However, the moment his finger was about to touch the paper talisman, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, completely motionless.

Both the grandfather's words and this talisman before his eyes stirred up a storm in Jiang Yun's heart.

To cultivate and become a cultivator like everyone else was his innate dream. Now that the method to realize his dream was right in front of him, he naturally wanted it.

But then he thought again, wanting to cultivate meant leaving the Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, leaving Ginger Village, and leaving these loved ones.

Moreover, cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires a very long time, who knows when I will be able to come back.

He couldn't bear to leave, he couldn't bear to part with a single blade of grass or tree in Ginger Village, he couldn't bear to leave every family member there, and most of all, he couldn't bear to leave his grandfather who was now completely gray-haired.

Moreover, five years later, Feng Wuji will return. If he can't find himself, he will attack Jiang Village. How could I possibly leave like this!

After a long time, Jiang Yun stretched out his hand, then quietly retracted it, slowly shook his head, and softly said: "Grandpa, I don't want it."

However, Ginger suddenly raised his voice and said, "No, you must!"

Jiang Yun raised his head again, a puzzled expression on his face. "Why"

Since you heard Feng Wuji's words, he won't just let it go. The Lunhui Sect behind him won't either. Five years from now, if you continue to stay in Jiang Village, when they return, not only will you be taken away, but we will all be implicated. Therefore, for your own sake, and for everyone's sake, you must leave!

"This..." Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure and saying, "Then I'll leave. What about you guys They can't catch me, so they'll definitely take it out on you! Grandpa, I won't leave. I'd rather let them take me."

"Hee hee!" Jiang Wànlǐ laughed, "Don't worry, as long as you stay out of Jiāng Village, they won't make things too difficult for us. After all, there are rules in Máng Shān."

Seeing that Jiang Yun still wanted to speak, Jiang Wanli continued, "How, do you still not believe grandpa Even if grandpa's heart is big, he wouldn't risk the lives of over a hundred people in Jiang Village to deceive you!"

This sentence somewhat dispelled a bit of Ginger Cloud's doubts.

Indeed, although Ginger Wanli is his own grandfather, he is also the village head of Ginger Village. He couldn't possibly gamble with the lives of so many people in the village just to appease himself.

But Jiang Yun still half-believed, half-doubted and said: "That if I'm not here, you guys, really won't be in any trouble"

Ginger said with absolute certainty, "Absolutely not!"

After a brief silence, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and nodded. Finally, he reached out again and grabbed the talisman paper: "Alright, I'll go!"

Although a decision had been made, Ginger Cloud's heart was still filled with reluctance. Holding the talisman in her hand, she remained silent, as motionless as a wooden statue.

Looking at Ginger Yun's appearance, Ginger Wanli could naturally tell what he was thinking. He smiled kindly and said, "Yunwa, you don't have to be too sad. Life is full of parting after all. Besides, your departure isn't forever. If you cultivate successfully and can disregard this distance of 100,000 miles, you can always come back anytime!"

Moreover, if you become powerful, then even Fengcun and Lunhui Zong people will not dare to bully us anymore, right

"Even then, you could bring Yue Rou, Jiang Lei, and all of us out of this Ten Wan Mang Mountains. Let us see the wider world!"

These words finally touched Jiang Yun deeply, and the light returned to his originally dimmed eyes. A resolute expression appeared on his slightly immature face, and he nodded vigorously: "Grandpa, rest assured, in five years, I will definitely come back. By then, not only will I kill Feng Wuji, but I will also bring you all to leave this place!"

Ginger exclaimed with a hearty laugh, "Good! I'll be waiting for that day to come!"

Once he had a goal, the feelings of parting and reluctance in Jiang Yun's heart were scattered. He finally began to carefully examine the talisman paper in his hand.

"Jiang Wanli opened his mouth again and said, "Yun Wa'er, to be honest, besides these few talismans, Grandpa doesn't have anything better to give you. So…"

Before Jiang Wan could finish his words, Jiang Yun had already proactively interrupted, "Grandpa, I don't need anything. Besides, you often told me that an innocent man is suspected when he possesses valuables. Even the best things, if one doesn't have the ability to protect them, will only bring trouble."

"Haha!" Jiang Wànlǐ laughed heartily. "It's great that you understand this!"

A hush fell over the room, and Jiang Wanli continued, "When are you planning to leave"

The topic of parting once again made Ginger Cloud's mood a little heavy. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The day after tomorrow!"

"Okay! Go busy yourself, I'm going to rest too!"

Ginger walked for miles without asking why Ginger Cloud had left. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw that Ginger Cloud was still standing there, her lips moving as if she still wanted to say something.

A stir went through his heart, and Jiang Wanli waved his hand from afar. Turning to leave, he said to himself, "When you see me again, I will tell you your true story!"

After finishing his words, Jiang Wanli had already walked to the small bed and lay down, no longer speaking.

A long sigh escaped Jiang Yun's mouth, a question he had wanted to ask but was too afraid to voice.

Original version first; issued

Although he had already considered himself a person from Ginger Village, the mystery of his own origins continued to linger in his heart, refusing to be shaken off.

Having carefully placed the talisman paper close to his body, Jiang Yun gave his grandfather, who was already lying down, a grateful glance before turning and walking out.

That day, Jiang Yun didn't go anywhere. She stayed in Jiang Village, chopping wood for one family, washing clothes for another, and playing games with the children.

When night fell and everyone was asleep, Ginger Cloud quietly left Ginger Village alone. It wasn't until late the next night that he returned, carrying a large beast skin bundle on his back.

His left hand still held a five-legged, horse-like creature called a qínghōng beast. His right index finger was wrapped in a red rope tied to a small bird with three-colored markings.

Ginger Cloud moved like a ghost, silently walking through this familiar Ginger Village. Every time he passed a hut, he would take something out from the animal hide wrapping and gently place it down, all while muttering to himself.

"Big Bro Lei, you've always wanted a Qīnghōng Beast as your mount. I caught one for you!"

"Uncle Ming, you lost your dagger when you went into the mountains last time. I got you a tiger tooth dagger."

While Jiang Yun was doing all of this, he didn't know that far away, on a large tree, Jiang Wànlǐ and Jiang Mù were standing there, silently watching him.

Finally, all the packages on Ginger Cloud's body were empty, leaving only the tricolor sparrow in her hand. She quietly walked into the room where Ginger Yue Rou was.

"Huh Who is it"

Unexpectedly, as Ginger Cloud just stepped into the room, Ginger Moon was awakened and mumbled a hazy inquiry.

Ginger quickly lowered her voice and said, "Shh, it's me!"

At the same time, he quickly walked a few steps and handed the three-colored sparrow in his hand to Jiang Yue, whose eyes were still half-closed: "Look, what I brought you!"

"Wow! A three-colored sparrow!" Jiang Yue softened her eyes with excitement, sleep instantly vanishing. She snatched the three-colored sparrow from its perch.

Looking at Jiang Yue's joyful expression, Jiang Yun lovingly reached out and gently pinched her little face and said, "Alright, go to sleep quickly. We can play again tomorrow!"

"Mhm!" Jiang Yueyao nodded in agreement, then as if she had just thought of something, lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Brother Yun, I also want to give you something."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "What is it"

Just then, Ginger Yue Rou flipped out a black object from under her pillow and shoved it into Ginger Yun's hand.

Jiang Yun took it and saw that it was a black, triangular stone, about half the size of his palm. It was icy cold to the touch.

"Cloud brother, this is the baby, you take good care of it, don't lose it!"

Ginger couldn't help but chuckle, wondering where Ginger Yue had picked up this stone. She treated it like a precious treasure. Nevertheless, he nodded and said, "Good!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun also slipped the stone into his bosom, and he didn't notice that on the stone, a ghostly light suddenly flashed.elf on the same level as it.Moreover, the ancients' thoughts were seeking something for themselves.Even if we let them go today, they would certainly never harm themselves again.Unless they are unwill...
