On the official road after noon, a young man was walking along the official road. As he walked, he held a book and quickly turned through the pages of the book. It didn't look like he was reading, but instead he seemed to be reading.

What are you looking for in the mezzanine?

"Sure enough, you shouldn't expect such an adventure that can be easily obtained. If there are really recorded spells in this book, I am afraid that others will have discovered it long ago, and it will be my turn. Alas, I should do less money-losing business like this in the future.

Come on!" Zou Heng stuffed the book he was holding back into the satchel on his waist, then shook his head and sighed in his heart.

After he left the royal capital, he walked all the way north in the direction he came from. He didn't know where he was going for the time being, so he just walked along the road he came from, preparing to think as he walked to see where he was going.

.

It has been almost more than a month since he started walking. Zou Heng still walked in the original direction, but he was not in a hurry, so the speed on the road was not fast. In addition, he stopped and stopped along the way.

Didn't go too far.

Because Zou Heng didn't have much money left on him when he left the royal capital, so when he stopped along the way, in addition to asking about the places he passed and whether anything interesting happened during this period, he would also stop by.

When you see someone hiring a warlock, you can make some money for yourself.

No matter what he does, money is necessary. Zou Heng wants to walk around, but he doesn’t want to sleep in the open and in rags along the way, so money is really needed, and people can’t be too

I have wronged myself.

But what makes Zou Heng a little helpless is that all the jobs he has earned money from along the way are basically the jobs of dealing with people's posthumous affairs and eliminating grievances. Occasionally, he hears that there are evil spirits somewhere, but they don't have their turn.

He has to deal with it, let alone someone paying him to deal with it.

Those local warlocks basically took care of all the work. By the time he arrived, the matter would have been solved long ago. If it couldn't be solved, Zou Heng himself wouldn't dare to touch it now, because they are more powerful things.

Son, if you're not careful, you might get yourself into it.

Zou Heng made some small money by helping people with some things on the road. However, the business he just made was obviously a bit of a loss, because the reward he received, in addition to a fairly sumptuous meal, was in his hands.

of this book.

The family heard that there had been a warlock in the family before, and this book was left by the other party. It might have recorded the warlock's spells, so they took the book as payment.

Zou Heng actually didn't really expect to get any magic or the like from such an ordinary book, but the family's life was indeed average now, so he accepted this loss-making deal.

After putting the book away, Zou Heng's pace quickened a little, and at the same time he continued to think about whether he should move forward next.

This road was the one I took when I was protecting King Ren. If we return the same way, our final destination will be Yecheng, and then we can reach Qi State all the way.

There is no problem in arriving from the State of Qi from the State of Yu, but the State of Qi has always been unfriendly to people from the State of Yu. With his current cultivation level, if he went to the State of Qi, he might not be so easy to get along with, so this is not a

Good choice.

Zou Heng didn't really care about leaving the Yu Kingdom. On the contrary, he wanted to visit other countries, appreciate their customs, and communicate with the magicians there.

If the local customs, systems, etc. are different in different places, cultural differences will occur, and the techniques derived from this should also have unique characteristics.

"It seems we have to change the direction!" Zou Heng thought in his heart.

Yu State is bordered by Qi State to the north, the sea to the south, and borders two small countries to the east. It is a good place to go. I heard that there are some powerful magicians in those small countries, as well as witchcraft passed down from ancient times.

To the west of the Kingdom of Yu, there are also several small countries established by sorcerers. It is actually a good place. It is said that although the population there is not large, life is very rich, and the people in the country have more convenient food, clothing, housing and transportation than the Kingdom of Yu, and the same goes for the Kingdom of Yu.

Interoperable trade.

Zou Heng has actually been thinking about whether he should go east or west if he changes route. This is something he has not decided yet.

But as he gets further and further away from the royal capital, a decision should be made on this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if he keeps going like this, he will really have to go back to Yecheng.

Zou Heng was thinking and walking when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a puff of smoke and dust rising on the road ahead, and there were faint sounds of dense footsteps, approaching from far away.

Seeing this scene, Zou Heng subconsciously stopped and then became on guard. His previous experience of escorting Niou made him feel as if someone was attacking when he saw such a scene, so he became more defensive.

The burst of smoke and dust came over very quickly. Within a few breaths of Zou Heng standing there, the burst of smoke and dust was already in front of him.

Zou Heng could see clearly at this time. In front of the burst of smoke, there were clearly two people running fast. Between the two people running, their legs were so fast that they could not see clearly. That was because they were so fast.

The faster you go, the more smoke will rise behind you.

Seeing this, Zou Heng hurriedly moved aside. These two people were obviously sorcerers. Since they were in a hurry, it was better not to block the official road, but to make way for them.

However, Zou Heng stepped aside to dodge. This action seemed to be a bit beyond the two people's expectations, because these two people were also preparing to dodge Zou Heng.

The two of them were very fast, and Zou Heng was also very agile in dodging. The result of this was that after both parties made dodging actions, they found that they had dodged each other, then chose to turn back, and then found that they might collide with each other.

, the two people who were running fast could only choose to dodge further to the side.

Zou Heng felt two strong winds blowing around him, and then the sky was filled with smoke and dust. He couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, and then two painful wails came from his ears.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"Ah, my arm!"

Zou Heng turned his head and saw in the grass beside the official road, the two people who had run wildly had fallen down in the grass, and their posture was still very embarrassing.

One of them is lying head down and feet up, and the other is lying upside down with one arm resting on a branch nearby. The posture looks a bit funny.

"Two mages, are you okay?" Zou Heng looked at the funny postures of these two people and asked quickly.

From the way the two of them saw him evading just now, Zou Heng felt that these two people were not villains. After all, they both let themselves fall to the side in order to avoid him. If they were really the kind of people who only care about themselves, they would now

He won't fall so awkwardly.

After hearing Zou Heng's words, the two people almost replied in unison: "If there is something, of course we have something!"

After eating, the two people wailed at the same time, and then one of them said: "You brat, we are both trying to avoid you. You are still watching, why don't you come over and help us!"

"Oh!" Zou Heng heard this and immediately walked forward, helped the two people up, and sent them to the roadside to sit down. At the same time, he looked at the two of them carefully.

These two people did not have the warlock's satchel on their bodies, but the clothes they wore had several pockets on the outside, which could be used to hold things.

Both of them are in their thirties or forties, and neither of them can be said to be very good-looking. One looks more honest, like a farmer who has been working all year round, and the other looks a little cunning just by looking at it.

The first impression you make will never be a good one.

When Zou Heng was looking at the two people in front of him, the two people were also looking at him at the same time. They saw that he was dressed like a warlock. He was not particularly old, but he was tall and strong, and his figure was a bit burlier than the two of them.

Circle, the two of them were a little surprised.

"If I had known that you were a warlock and had such a strong body, I would have stopped hiding just now and knocked you out. Anyway, looking at your strong body, I guess it won't be a big deal if you were knocked out.

Like me, oh, my arms!" said the cunning-looking man.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and glared at the people around him, complaining to him: "It's all your fault for insisting on taking my way. The official road is so wide that it's not even big enough for you to walk. I'll walk faster."

Some, you still have to chase me up. I tried to avoid you with my magic, but you still can't shake it off like a plaster. Now it's okay. I fell down on the official road. Fortunately, there are not many people around!"

The relatively honest-looking man's face darkened when he heard this, "You will bite back. It's obvious that I am walking in front, but you insist on chasing me from behind. At this time, you blame me. The road is in the sky, and we are each

Isn't it good to just go aside? You have to catch me!"

While the two were arguing, it seemed that they were getting angry. They actually stood up from the roadside and accused each other.

When Zou Heng saw the two of them looking like this, he knew that the injuries on their bodies were nothing serious. I'm afraid it was just a little superficial trauma. If you tolerate it and spend a little more time, the superficial trauma would be gone. It's not a big deal.

It was already afternoon, and there was still some way to go before he reached a populated area. Zou Heng wanted to enter a small city ahead and settle down before the city gates were closed at nightfall, so he was not prepared to delay any further.

"Two mages, since there's nothing serious about you, I'll take my leave. It's getting late. You two seem to be in a hurry, so why not hurry up and get on your way!" Zou Heng said to the two people.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who were arguing suddenly turned their heads and looked at him. Then the two looked at each other in a tacit understanding. The man with a cunning look smiled at Zou Heng.

said.

"This little brother, you look like a warlock. You must have just received the news and want to join in the fun. Seeing as we were both injured just now because of you, why don't you take care of us and lead us
