Chapter 98: On the way to the Holy Land Tianjiao
The spring breeze makes horses hooves gallop all the way, this is Li Xiuyuan's idea.
However, he met a group of people who got up earlier than him.
A bunch of young men and women were joking and chasing each other on the mountain road... Before Li Xiuyuan on horseback could approach, a girl on horseback was already looking at him and saying hello.
"Hey that guy, I saw you in Suiyuan the other day!" The girl with two pigtails and a red skirt looked at him and greeted him.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled, and replied: "Haha, what a coincidence, where are you planning to go? It is said that I know there is nothing interesting in Baixue City..."
Li Xiuyuan, who knew nothing about the Xuanwu land, pretended to be Li Banxian.
The girl in red dress with a porcelain baby face turned to look at him and smiled: "Are you going to visit relatives in Snow White City?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, and his already somewhat depressed mood suddenly became cheerful. He pulled the reins and slowed down.
He looked at her and smiled and said, "That's right. Where are you planning to go?"
The girl in the red dress smiled and said: "Where are we going? Isn't this road leading to Snow White City?"
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he was asking the question knowingly, and smiled sheepishly: "It's not close to Baixue City from here. Is there any town on the road where I can spend the night?"
The girl in the red dress shook her head and replied: "When winter comes here, the roads are blocked by heavy snow. Where is the town? We all spent the night halfway. Do you want to come with us?"
"Isn't it troublesome?" Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly.
In his plan, he had no idea of traveling with others. After all, he didn't know if he would encounter an ambush from Loulan City along the way.
The girl in the red dress didn't even think about it and replied: "Is it possible that you have some dirty secret...Sister, this guy is also going to Snow White City, let him follow us."
An angry reply came from not far ahead: "Junior sister, please don't be playful, we have something urgent to do."
"Don't worry, sister, this guy can't eat people..." The girl in the red dress flicked her riding crop and giggled: "Little guy, follow me."
Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and followed him.
Since we are exploring ruins deep in the snow-capped mountains together, it would be nice to have a companion, at least we can help each other when we encounter danger.
He already had an opponent in the Snowfield Holy Land, and he didn't want to add another enemy to his list.
What's more, maybe the Wang family in Loulan City will send disciples to explore the ruins.
Looking at the four men and three women galloping in front of him, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel sad for Tianyun Mountain. If the headmaster knew about this operation of the Snowfield Holy Land, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?
Among the four Holy Lands, the Wuji Holy Land in front of you actually has seven places.
And the majestic Tianyun Holy Land actually only gave one place... It was only after a life-and-death struggle that he got the place.
Li Xiuyuan, who was whipping up his horse, smiled bitterly and said: "It's not as generous as Situ Tianxing from Loulan City..."
If he had known that the Lord of Loulan City would generously give him a quota, he would not have to take up the quota in Tianyun Mountain. In this way, he would not even owe Yuzun any favors.
Because there were small towns along the way that provided food and accommodation, the group traveled very quickly.
Finally, before dark, we found a place to stay on a hillside overlooking the mountains and water.
Li Xiuyuan, who has become accustomed to living in the mountains and fields, jumped off the horse, threw off the reins and let the horse go to the hillside to eat grass and drink water.
Looking at the girl in the red dress, she couldn't help but smile and said: "You have such a big heart, aren't you afraid that it will run away?"
"It's okay. If you run away, I'll just walk. It'll take more effort at most."
Li Xiuyuan was determined to let the horse go free when I reached the ruins of the snow-capped mountains. How could the girl in front of him understand the understanding of life?
The girl in the red dress looked at him, shook her head, and said with a smile: "Then you have to be prepared to suffer. If your horse runs away, we don't have any extra horses for you."
"It doesn't matter, at best I'll have to work harder... I followed you all the way, but I haven't asked her her name yet... Where are you from?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed to himself, clapped his hands and walked down the grass slope.
He planned to wash up and make a pot of tea to comfort himself. After all, he was tired after a hard day's work.
"My name is Murong Zhilan, and I come from Wuji Holy Land. Where are you from? Are you a disciple of Tianlong Holy Land or Tianyun Holy Land?"
Murong Zhilan, who was greeting her senior sisters and junior fellow students, followed Li Xiuyuan down the stairs. She was also covered in stinky sweat and had to wash up quickly.
When I walked to the creek at the foot of the grass slope, I looked at a man about eighteen years old. He looked around carefully, as if he might encounter bandits suddenly rushing towards him at any time.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "There are seven of you, why are you afraid of encountering bandits?"
The man looked at him and smiled and said: "Before I go out, the master told me to protect my senior sister. This is a wilderness, and anything can happen..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and thought to himself that you are more alert than me.
Behind him, Murong Zhilan looked dashing and heroic. She looked at the two of them and said, "Senior Brother Fengyun, you are too cautious. I would like to meet the bandits and rob them."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that he was the one who had no sworn relationship with the bandits. He had killed countless bandit killers since his debut.
Hearing the passionate words of the woman in a red dress in front of me again, I couldn't help but miss my time in the academy.
Although those bandits and killers kept coming to cause trouble for me, they also kept coming to rob me.
"I was very curious about what kind of person you are that day in Suiyuan."
Murong Zhilan walked to the upper stream of the stream, where the women were grooming.
He turned around and said: "This is the first time I saw a young man who obviously has no cultivation ability, but he has to wear a mask on his face."
"My Shura is naturally a casual cultivator in Loulan City and does not belong to any aristocratic family or holy land."
Li Xiuyuan quietly looked at the gurgling stream, thinking about those years in the Shura Realm, and said lightly: "Once upon a time, I also liked to do something."
"What's going on?" Murong Zhilan looked at him and asked seriously.
"Kill the bandits or killers." Li Xiuyuan replied.
"I heard that the monks near Loulan City are generally unwilling to provoke these two kinds of people. They say that if they can't kill them all at once, they will face endless pursuit from them later."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated, but it is true that I have done my best to eliminate evil. I am also a person who is afraid of trouble."
After saying this, Li Xiuyuan walked downriver, where there were already several men squatting by the river to wash themselves, and even a fire had been lit.
I saw that they were preparing to light a fire for cooking and boil water for tea.
After blowing the whistle, the horses grazing on the hillside ran down happily and rubbed their heads against Li Xiuyuan's arm.
Gently touching the horse's neck, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will give you freedom when you reach the Snowy Mountains. You can go wherever you like."
After saying that, he took the bean cake and put it in his hand, fed it to the horse and started eating it. Looking at the stormy young man behind him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It hasn't opened its spiritual intelligence yet, so it can understand your hard work."
Li Xiuyuan touched the horse and smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just think you can understand..."
After eating half a piece of bean cake, the horse raised its head and howled loudly, turned around and ran to the stream to drink water. Then, while several people were stunned, it shook its head and ran up the hillside with Li Xiuyuan.
There are seven horses there, and they are looking for friends to have fun with.
"This horse has become a spirit!" Feng Yun said with a smile, while carrying the iron pot and walking towards the fire.
After washing up, Li Xiuyuan also came to the edge of the fire. He looked at Murong Zhilan walking over and said with a smile: "Actually, the bandits are also afraid of death. The key is that you have to be more vicious and cruel than them!"
Murong Zhilan looked at him and said, "How many bandits have you killed?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid there will be one or two hundred!"
Murong Zhilan looked at him and said in disbelief: "I don't believe you are still alive after killing so many bandits."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't need to ask for credit and receive rewards from others. If they don't mess with me, I won't bother them."
"Is it possible that you still want to become a practitioner?"
In Murong Zhilan's eyes, the current Li Xiuyuan is a bolder boy, and she can understand that the boy likes to brag.
But she didn't expect that the young man in front of her, who had not even gathered his spiritual veins, would dream of becoming a practitioner?!
"In my opinion, every young man who has killed bandits dreams of becoming a true practitioner one day, right?"
Li Xiuyuan walked to the fire and sat down, looked at her and smiled: "I am the same person."
Murong Zhilan was very interested when she heard this and said with a smile: "Oh, if you tell me, I almost couldn't help but take you to explore the snowy mountains together."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head but said nothing.
Instead, he put his kettle on the fire to boil water. Since there was no shortage of food, he drank a cup of hot tea first to get rid of the last trace of spring cold.
Murong Zhilan blinked her big curious eyes, looked at him and asked, "Are you really from Loulan City?"
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan silently took out the identity card that Song Changtian had given him and handed it to the curious girl next to him.
Then he said: "Is there any benefit to pretending to be a monk from Loulan?"
Murong Zhilan covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Except for some traders traveling around the world, this is the first time I have met a monk without spiritual veins, so I am a little curious."
At this moment, a woman about eighteen years old came over, reached out and took Li Xiuyuan's identity plate from Murong Zhilan's hand, and looked at it carefully.
After all, this is the wilderness north. You can't believe Li Xiuyuan just because of his words.
After confirming Li Xiuyuan's identity, the woman said quietly: "Since you are a monk from Loulan City, come with us to Snow White City."
In her opinion, since the other party is not in danger, it doesn't matter if there is one more person to accompany her on the road.
Moreover, in her eyes, Li Xiuyuan was just a non-threatening young man. Even if he wore a mask, it was just to bluff people.
Xiang, a girl from Wuji Holy Land, is known for her fierceness in Xuanwu Land, but it's just their first encounter with Li Xiuyuan, so naturally she doesn't understand her temperament.
He shook his head and said, "Girl, you're welcome. I'm just a passerby to you. I should be the one who disturbed your peace."
Murong Zhilan took the woman's hand and smiled: "This is my second senior sister, Baili Yunyan, doesn't it sound good?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at the two of them and said, "It turns out that she is the senior sister of Wuji Holy Land. It is indeed a good name."
Baili Yunyan glared at Murong Zhilan, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Please feel free to do so. Just don't run around after dark. This is the wilderness of the North. I'm afraid you may encounter bandits."
"In this case, I will continue to disturb you!" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I am timid and will not run around."
Hearing this, Baili Yunyan, who was wearing a black skirt, breathed a sigh of relief. With the spirit of Wuji Holy Land, if her junior sister hadn't been chatting with the guy in front of her all the way, she would definitely not talk to a stranger.
What's more, in his eyes, Li Xiuyuan is a burden. If he really encounters a bandit, he is afraid that he will have to work hard to protect the safety of this young man.
