Volume 1, The Wind Blows Shu(1/2)
That night, Daochang Zhao was disappointed again. After all, Lao Yue still couldn't carry the two sisters to warm his bed, let alone use Hehuan San to make them happy.
The 30th day of the sixth lunar month.
The five people then headed south. According to the speed of the horses, they would arrive in Emei tomorrow and reach Muchuan in less than one day.
The two sisters, Biyu and Birou, had thick dark circles under their eyes early in the morning. They didn't know whether they were worried about Lao Yue's death or because they couldn't warm the bed and were so frustrated that they couldn't fall asleep.
Lao Yue joked: "Could it be that the two female dolls are in love with each other?"
The two women rolled their eyes mercilessly: "Who asked your old man to threaten us yesterday!"
"What's the difference between us, Daochang Zhao? We have the same figure, looks, and strength. Only you two can know this after trying it."
"..."
No one answered, and I was used to this rough guy talking dirty words.
Near noon, he met a group of Jianghu people. Hu Hai briefly greeted Lao Yue. In the afternoon, he met a group of people pursuing revenge from Wolong Villa. Taoist Master Zhao of the Little Grand Master Realm did not take any action and gave guidance to the four of them in actual combat.
But these people were so happy that the level of vision of a grandmaster is naturally better than that of a junior grandmaster, and any casual advice can have a magical effect of enlightenment.
"Taoist Priest, are you trying to get closer to the two girls so you gave me some pointers to Lao Hu?"
"How do you say this?"
"Because you just kept staring at the butts of two female dolls!"
"If I stare at you two, wouldn't I be a pervert?"
"..."
It is shameful to say that these people have been fighting bandits for nearly half a month, but they have nothing. They have a lot of horses and weapons. However, it is inconvenient to carry them. The money is also spent along the way. When they meet poor farmers, they generously help in emergencies, and finally put some money in their pockets.
Not really.
So Daochang Zhao has been thinking about something recently, how do those people who travel around the world live? Can they have enough food and clothing in all seasons?
A few of them dug bandits' dens along the way and barely wiped them out by beating up the unruly people. Could it be that they were all just eating and drinking like the gangsters in Situ Jianzhuang a few days ago?
Finally, with the confirmation of Hu Hai and Lao Yue, we came to the conclusion that it is common for people in the world to eat and drink. It is also common to earn reward money when government or local announcements are posted. It is better to be a rich family like Li Zhanyi.
The guest is even more at ease.
However, the world is cruel, with overt and covert competition and ten years of constant fighting.
That afternoon, several people were ambushed in a canyon thirty kilometers away from Emei. There were dozens of ambushes with bows and arrows, hidden weapons, flying stones and poisonous nets. For a young master, they were in dire straits. However, they were lucky to have a grandmaster with them.
Taoist Zhao held Hu Hai's long sword and executed a unique sword strike in the canyon. With this sword, he slashed out nearly a thousand sword energy, spreading dozens of feet throughout the canyon, leaving sword marks several meters deep.
All the carefully arranged assassination weapons in the canyon were destroyed by overwhelming force, and the sword energy in the aftermath even killed dozens of assassins hiding in the jungle.
The four accompanying companions were so shocked that they couldn't calm down for a long time. They all knew that the realm of the white-faced Taoist priest had improved again, which was still a big step.
"Taoist Priest, Lao Yue wants to say a word, is that okay?"
"you say."
"You are really perverted!"
"..."
After clearing the obstacles, we then entered into the boring journey of suppressing bandits. In the first few days, it was still fresh, but as time went by, the bandits were mostly warriors who knew a little bit about it. Before the robbery, they were arrogant and domineering, and they were beaten.
It's really boring to cut and then be scared in seconds.
During this period, Li Zhanyi sent a message to explain the situation on the eastern front. Several people there arrived at Jiagu River through all obstacles. They were located between Emei and the Leshan Giant Buddha Temple. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by three masters.
Several people sighed after watching it. How difficult is it to deal with three masters taking action at the same time? Although they are not familiar with the people on the Eastern Front, they all have the same goal, so they are still worried about it.
However, few people know that a greater danger is approaching step by step.
The two of them have gained a lot of limelight in the arena and the imperial court recently, and many people in the arena want to witness the excellence of these heroes.
The heroes on the eastern front are fighting hard with the three masters, and Daochang Zhao and his team on the western front are experiencing boring suppression of bandits.
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhao Zhengli and others from the Western Front approached Qiliping. This place is less than twenty miles away from Mount Emei. If nothing happens, they will be there at noon tomorrow. I don't know if the old master Situ has left after reminiscing about the past.
Late in the evening, we rested at the Guandao Inn. There were many Jianghu people here, and Daochang Zhao and his party listened to various stories about people traveling from north to south.
The topic I heard the most about them in recent days was about a mysterious person who had promoted each of them to the realm of a grand master. His ability was even more capable of turning over the sky and destroying the earth. He also talked about the Shu County. Mamoru has been scared away...
The key point is that the nose has eyes. If a few people were not involved, I would probably believe it.
The inn was very quiet that night. The clouds in the sky covered the stars and the moon. The wind blew in the middle of the night. It was obvious that a heavy rain was coming.
Around Hai hour, heavy rain pours down, washing away the heat of summer. Such a day is very suitable for sleeping.
On the official road, a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head and holding a cane slowly walked towards the inn. The rain and mud were splashing, but his legs and feet could not enter. The official road was covered with mud, and not a drop of it touched his feet.
It was difficult to understand such an abnormal scene. The man came to the inn and slowly knocked on the door with a cane.
The waiter at the inn opened it slowly, and a hoarse voice came from under the bamboo hat: "A first-class guest room, and three kilograms of soju."
The waiter replied: "Old woman, there is no room!"
"Then let's get three kilograms of soju!"
"But it's closed!"
"Bang!"
The crutch under the raincoat directly pushed the waiter out of the door, and he rolled down into the mud and was soaked by the rain.
"What a fuss!"
The old woman in coir raincoat pushed the door open and walked in with a cane in her hand without looking back.
At this moment, the waiter in the shop stood up in a state of embarrassment, covered in mud: "How can you, an old bitch, hurt someone and still not follow the rules of the king? There are rules in the world, right?"
The man entered the store without paying any attention, then walked directly to the counter and opened the wine vat. With his bare skinny hands, he took out the wine gourd fastened to his waist and roughly pressed it into the wine vat to drink.
When the waiter entered the store and saw this scene, he immediately yelled: "Boss, someone stole the wine!"
The noise downstairs alarmed the entire inn, and the owner and his wife jumped down the stairs in a flash. The couple were in their forties. Seeing the old woman in coir raincoats and bamboo hats, she was calm and composed. The couple saw countless people while walking around the world, and their intuition told them that this person was not Simple.
So he handed it over carefully according to the rules of the world: "Why did this senior break into the shop late at night?"
The man turned around to reveal his old, shriveled face. His face was wrinkled and messy, and his nose and eyes could not be distinguished. She still poured wine into the wine vat calmly: "The old woman was entrusted by someone to teach a few young people who have no eyesight. Let’s ask for a bottle of wine.”
"There are dozens of restaurants and inns in Guandao, why did you choose ours?"
The old woman put away the full wine bottle, stamped her cane on the ground, and said to herself in a hoarse voice: "Because they also chose your inn."
After hearing this, the couple looked towards the people who had woken up on the stairs. The old woman also raised her bamboo hat and looked at a few of them with her dull and dull eyes.
The crowd of onlookers were all frightened by the old woman's eyes. Zhao Zhengli suddenly felt something bad, and saw endless killing intent in those turbid eyes.
Lao Yue and others also noticed that something was wrong, and the five of them looked at each other in alarm.
The old woman's coir raincoat shook, and she heard "swish, swish, swish!" Several centipedes broke through the air and faced Zhao Zhengli and the others, injecting true energy very quickly.
Daochang Zhao struck out a palm to block it, but it was of no avail. He was injected with true energy, causing several centipedes to directly penetrate the palm. Fortunately, most of the true energy was reduced when they penetrated the palm.
Hu Hai and other Jianghu people each held weapons and shot down the centipede. Unfortunately, the centipede, which was cut in half by the sword, emitted a "squeaking" black mist that spread on the crowded stairs.
"Not good! It's poisonous."
"Poison technique, this old witch is a descendant of Nanzhao."
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and hurriedly avoided the black fog. At this moment, the old woman in raincoat spotted Zhao Zhengli and the others and threw poison from the air. She murmured hoarsely: "I don't want to be an enemy of your country. I only blame you for ruining my old woman's restoration of the country."
."
The old woman's terrifying Qi and terrifying Gu worms frightened everyone present. Even Zhao Zhengli, who was at the Grand Master level, was unable to do anything about it.
Lao Yue and others took a few breaths of poisonous gas in a very embarrassed manner: "Your Nanzhao Kingdom was destroyed by Dali Kingdom, what does it have to do with Qing Kingdom?"
"After the Emperor of Qing put down the rebellion, he started cutting down the vassal vassals before his buttocks were even hot, and broke the contract between the old woman and Liu Yuanji. Is it so difficult that it doesn't matter?"
"What does this have to do with me and other Jianghu people?"
"Your current situation is against Governor Liu, so Jiedushi has no intention of sending troops to attack the Dali Kingdom. It will naturally be difficult for the old woman to restore the Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Then do you know the miserable situation of the people in Shu?"
"What does this have to do with the old woman? Unless you guarantee that the next governor and governor will be willing to lead troops to attack Dali."
"..."
Who can guarantee this?
Seeing no one answered, the old woman got angry and said, "You know the secret. In this case, don't blame the old woman for being ruthless."
After saying this, murderous intent appeared on her old and withered face, her skinny palms flashed in the air, and her true energy was like a wave of waves, devastating everyone.
"Great, great master!"
"This old witch is a great master!"
The whole audience screamed in despair.
Daochang Zhao struck out with all his strength, and then fled through the window with the four of them. The witch was obviously coming towards him and the others. If Zhao Zhengli had a chance to escape, the remaining four would die tragically on the spot.
It was raining heavily outside the inn, and the muddy official road was dark. Suddenly, there was no time to get the horses, and the five people galloped towards Emei.
To be continued...
