Chapter 15 Three Treasures
Someone called him from behind, and Li Qi immediately turned back and looked at that person.
When I turned around, I found that he was a businessman.
However, the backpack of this traveling merchant was different from that of the two surrounding traveling merchant groups. It looked like he was on the road alone, just like himself.
This is a bit strange.
Logically speaking, no one in this world would travel far alone.
After all, as I said before, this world is very dangerous.
But there are some exceptions, such as Li Qi, who kills people and flees, or who has to leave his hometown for some reason.
But Li Qi had never heard of a merchant traveling alone.
Isn't he afraid of death?
"That...this big brother." The merchant came over and sat next to Li Qi.
Li Qi was a little wary, but he didn't chase him away. He just looked at him: "Little brother, what's the matter?"
"Oh, that's right. I see that you are traveling alone, so... just come over and say hello." The businessman looked a little nervous, but he still said so.
"So, I thought, since we are both traveling alone, it is better to form a companion so that we can have someone to look after us on the road." said the young businessman.
"Let's go on the road together? Where are you going?" Li Qi asked, while also considering the other person's body.
It is very dangerous to go on the road alone. It is indeed a good thing to have someone to accompany you, but you must be on guard against others. It is always right to be careful.
"I'm going to Bi County. Where are you, big brother? I see you're coming from that direction too. There's only one road here, and there's no fork in the road. You should be on the same road until you get to Feng County. You can go here.
The inhabited area is at least fifty miles away, and we can follow the fifty-mile road again," said the merchant.
"Oh, by the way, brother, what's your name? My surname is Du, you can just call me Adu." Adu said, and then he put his refreshments and tea on the table and covered himself with the quilt.
He also put down his backpack and sat down.
"My name is Li Qi." Li Qi did not hide his name, but he looked at Adu and responded: "From what you said, you are very familiar with this road. You are already so familiar with it, why do you still need it?"
Walk with me?"
Adu smiled bitterly: "I just want to be together because we are familiar with each other. To be honest, brother, this journey is not very peaceful. Look at the merchants around you. Which one doesn't set out with more than ten people?"
"If there is no other way, I need money urgently, and I don't want to go out alone..." Adu said to Li Qi with a helpless expression.
This reason was quite sufficient, but Li Qi still did not agree. He frowned slightly: "It's not peaceful. What happened?"
After saying this, Adu came up and lowered his voice: "This road is haunted by monsters."
"Monster? Is there anyone who dares to go?" Li Qi was startled.
While working at the dock, he had heard about monsters from the chamber of commerce and Cao gangs he passed by more than once. In his impression, monsters were terrifying entities that could easily kill a dozen people.
"It's just a rumor. It's probably not a real monster, but a beast that is about to become a spirit. These animals are about to become a spirit but have not yet become a spirit. As long as there are many people and their yang energy is strong, they will be afraid, so it is safest to travel together.
, as for us... we can only try to get lucky."
"Well, if it weren't for the pressure of life, who would go far away alone..." Adu sighed: "Monsters are scary, but there are many things scarier than monsters."
Li Qishen felt the same way about this.
The Li Zhuang Gang tried to kill him twice in one day, but he finally fought back and had to flee to the end of the world to avoid the limelight. Even if there were monsters now, he had no idea of going back, which proved the correctness of this statement.
Seeing Li Qi nod slightly, as if he agreed with his statement, Adu followed the snake on the stick and immediately followed: "Besides, Brother Li, I don't just see you walking in danger alone, I want to come and be with you."
, you see, your body is full of qi and blood, and you have enough yang energy. The little beast that has not turned into a demon is the most afraid of people like you. And I have experience in business. Let's work together and keep it.
There will be no problem!" Adu was very articulate and kept saying the same thing.
Li Qi looked at the other person and felt that he didn't seem to be lying.
Besides, even if the other party lies, as long as he doesn't follow the other party's route and doesn't let him lead the way, there should be no problem.
Moreover, if there really is that kind of beast that is about to become a spirit, it will feel more secure if there is someone by your side. The other person is a traveler who is familiar with the roads and can walk in the wild. He has some ability in him, so he will not be unable to encounter monsters.
Resist.
Besides, if you encounter the worst-case scenario, you don't have to race with the monster, you just need to run faster than him.
Thinking of this, Li Qi nodded: "In that case, let's go the same way. I'm going to Feng County, and I can just walk about two hundred miles along the way."
"Hehe, that's enough, that's enough. After we arrived in Feng County, our popularity became more and more popular. There were also local goddesses, demon slayers, and guardian envoys. Not many monsters dared to do anything in that kind of place. The most dangerous thing is
The two hundred miles in between are unattended and the roads are bad, so it is easy for monsters to appear!" After receiving a positive reply, Adu breathed a sigh of relief and started joking.
"Brother Li, from the look of you, you must have never traveled far, right? It's okay to drink tea now. I'll tell you some interesting things on the road, how about you relieve your boredom?" Adu sat down and said,
A familiar look.
However, Li Qi looked at the other party's look and immediately understood what Adu meant.
What Adu said was very polite and even flattering, but Li Qi was also a smart man. He knew that this traveler wanted to tell him some taboos and experiences on the road, but because he was not familiar with it, he was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he used
This is just a replacement.
This man is really good at being a good person, no wonder he dares to find someone to accompany him in the wild.
"Okay, I really don't go out often, please tell me." Li Qi replied immediately, and at the same time, he placed his rice cake plate with the other person's, indicating that they should eat together.
This counts as acceptance.
Adu was not polite, picked up a piece of rice cake, poured himself a cup of tea, and started talking.
"When you are doing business outside, you will encounter some mountain spirits and wild monsters from time to time. It's just that this person is different from the mountain spirits and wild monsters. Humans are the spiritual beings of all things. They are born with the three innate treasures. These things cannot be asked for.
We're here, so normal monsters wouldn't dare touch us."
The Three Innate Treasures was this term again. Li Qi pricked up his ears and began to listen carefully.
"The three innate treasures are our gods, qi, and essence. These are things that only innate spiritual wisdom possesses. Monsters and other acquired spiritual wisdom cannot obtain them!"
Qi!
