Chapter 176: The fierce beast, the scorpion, retreats from the enemy with one sleeve
Although Li Mingyue was a little unsure, she still ate the fruit after all. Firstly, she was really hungry, and secondly, she was afraid that the old guy would be sad. After all, it took him half a day to find it.
After the four people of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Ju left, Li Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable. He would get hungry if he wasn't careful. If it weren't for his realm, he would have suffered a lot. What made Li Mingyue feel strange was himself.
He could still rely on his realm to support him, but an old horseman with no realm could endure such hardship. This made Li Mingyue feel a little bit incredible, and she had to wonder again whether this old guy was really hiding his strength.
It's a pity that Li Mingyue couldn't find any clues whether he asked openly or secretly, so he had to give up, thinking that this old guy must have hidden the food behind his back.
But after all, he still wanted to practice, so the old man was responsible for almost all the food and daily living along the way. Li Mingyue couldn't help feeling a little emotional. If the old man also left, his journey would probably be even more difficult.
While Li Mingyue was eating the fruit, she asked vaguely: "Did my mother give you your name?"
The old man also took a bite of a fruit. When he heard Li Mingyue's question, he hurriedly spit the fruit in his mouth into his palm and replied: "No, the young lady called me this name when she met the old slave."
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "Dazhao, this name is really..."
Li Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then added: "It's rare."
The old man grinned, put the fruit in his palm back into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Li Mingyue continued: "When we get to the front, find a place to change the carriage. I've never seen you save money like this. It's my money that I spent. I don't even feel bad. Why do you feel so bad? Look at the wheels of this carriage.
, almost falling apart."
The old man glanced at the two wheels, feeling a little embarrassed. After swallowing the fruit in his mouth, he smiled and said, "It's time to change it."
He went on to say: "Although the young master is not short of money, he certainly can't be lavish. The young master has not yet married a wife, so he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. Only after he marries a wife and has children will he realize that money is hard to come by."
Li Mingyue had a sad face.
The old man then continued to talk, "Young master, please don't underestimate this. I didn't think so when I was young, but when you reach the age of old slave, it's really boring to be alone."
Li Mingyue laughed and said angrily: "I am different from you."
The old groom said seriously: "Really, even if the young master becomes an immortal in the future, he will still marry a wife."
Li Mingyue said with a dark face: "Is it over yet? I can't stop your mouth even if I eat. Why didn't I notice it before? You talk so much nonsense."
The old man grinned and said, "In the past, when those girls were around, it was hard to say something."
He continued: "Master, what do you think of that girl Dongmei? I think this girl is really nice and considerate, and she is definitely good at giving birth. Even when the young lady was here, she didn't treat Dongmei or anyone else well."
Likewise, I didn't know about Young Master's existence before and never thought about it. Now that I know about Young Master's existence, I know that the young lady actually had a plan for a long time."
Li Mingyue's face turned a little livid.
The old man continued: "If a person like the young lady thinks like this, the young master must not think about it... Hey, hey, don't throw it away, the young master. It took a lot of effort for this old slave to find this. It is a valuable thing."
The old man dodged the fruits thrown by Li Mingyue while bending down to pick them up again from the ground.
Li Mingyue finished throwing away the fruit and said coldly: "If you don't leave, it will be dark."
After the old man picked up all the fruits, he carefully placed them on the carriage and said with a smile: "Let's go now."
As he said this, he pulled the reins and did not get on the carriage. Instead, he just pulled the carriage forward, perhaps knowing that the carriage could no longer bear the weight of two people.
Li Mingyue sat on the carriage and traveled thousands of miles.
Of course Dongmei is good, but there is a better person in his heart.
Under the setting sun, the old man in front stopped. Li Mingyue, who had traveled thousands of miles, almost fell off the carriage due to inertia. She couldn't help but frown and looked forward.
There was a man standing in the middle of the avenue.
Li Mingyue narrowed her eyes, because this person's aura was not weak, and judging from his posture, he was not a good person.
Ever since I left Guanyun City, headed east, and then entered Fenzhou from Siya Academy, it had been a long time since I had encountered anything like this.
The man saluted Li Mingyue on the carriage and said, "I have met Master Li Xian."
Li Mingyue stood up from the carriage and asked: "Taoist?"
The man nodded and said: "Zhenwu Mountain, Zhao Ji."
Li Mingyue frowned.
We are still thousands of miles away from Zhenwu Mountain. Why is Zhenwu Mountain so anxious? The man continued: "Master Li Xian, don't think too much. I'm not here to stop Master Li Xian. I just want Master Li to wait."
"
Li Mingyue asked in confusion: "What are you waiting for?"
The man shook his head and said: "It's not convenient for me to say, but if Master Li Xian insists, I will have no choice but to offend you."
Li Mingyue asked: "Grand Master?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, it's just a young master, but it should be no problem to stop Master Li Xian."
Li Mingyue chuckled.
The man continued: "Of course I know that Master Li Xian has a lot of secrets. Not to mention that at the level of a minor grandmaster, even a saint may not be able to stop Master Li. However, Master Li has to use up his secrets for the sake of becoming a minor grandmaster.
Then how many times can Master Li Xian’s secrets be used?”
Li Mingyue's face looked a little gloomy.
What this guy said is indeed correct. With his current strength, it is impossible to deal with a strong man at the level of a little grandmaster, so he can only use Lizhu. But a little grandmaster has to use Lizhu, so even if Lizhu can really use it now
As his practice is restored, how many times can he use it?
It may be difficult to find a strong Grand Master, but it is not the case for a strong Little Grandmaster. Especially in the Taoist ancestral home like Zhenwu Mountain, there is no shortage of so-called Little Grandmasters.
The man continued: "Master Li Xian only needs to stop for a while and then go north. Naturally, no one will stop him. For Master Li, it is only a delay of some time and there is no loss."
Li Mingyue did not speak, but fell into thinking.
It is impossible for this person to stop him for no reason, let alone let him stay for a period of time for no reason.
But before Li Mingyue could say anything, the old horseman cursed and said, "You talk a lot of nonsense."
The next moment, Li Mingyue opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff an entire egg in it.
The old man waved his right hand, and the strong man from Zhenwu Mountain who called himself Zhao Ji was swept away. After falling to the ground, he got up in embarrassment and ran away with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
.
"Gudu."
Li Mingyue swallowed, her face full of disbelief.
What a guy! What a strong man.
The old man turned around and grinned. He was still a little stupid and not at all like a master.
The old man said: "Sit down, Master, we are going to continue walking."
Li Mingyue sat down involuntarily and said after a while: "Dazhu, you..."
The old man said: "It's nothing. I learned it from the young lady before. In fact, that's all I learned. It's of no use. It's okay to scare people."
Li Mingyue's face was full of bitterness. You waved your sleeves and beat a little grandmaster until he was unable to fight back. Is there any use saying that?
The old man continued: "It's really nothing. Miss has many tricks. I remember that there used to be a guy named Jingjing, and he learned a move from Miss. That's called a powerful move. I heard that guy used a sword to...
He defeated many strong men of the Sword Sect and successfully climbed to Tianjian Mountain. Oh, right, there was also a guy who used to drink and brag with the old slave. He also learned a sword. Later, I heard that he went to give it to the lady.
Guarding the tomb."
He turned to look at Li Mingyue and continued: "It's the sword that Young Master used before. Young Master, don't underestimate this sword, it's very powerful."
Li Mingyue nodded and said, "It's quite powerful. I've seen it with my own eyes."
The old man smiled slightly, turned his head, pulled the horse and continued to move forward, saying: "Although the sword is still there, it's a pity that the man is gone, alas!"
Li Mingyue picked up a fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it. Without wine, he could only eat the fruit.
The old man didn't speak any more.
After Li Mingyue finished eating the fruit, she asked: "Dazhao, what state are you in?"
The old horseman in front shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Li Mingyue frowned and said, "What realm do you have that you don't know about?"
The old groom nodded and said: "The old slave is different from the master. In fact, he is different from everyone else, so there is no clear realm."
Li Mingyue said casually: "Are you not a human being?"
The old groom nodded: "No."
He then added: "Young Master is really very discerning."
Li Mingyue was stunned, "Really not?"
The old man nodded and asked, "Is there any difference?"
Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There is no difference."
At this time, the woman's voice in the bell rang in Li Mingyue's mind: "I didn't even notice it, this guy is really hiding very well."
Li Mingyue was stunned and asked, "Can you tell the truth?"
The woman in the bell said: "If he hadn't made a move before, it's hard to say, but since he made a move in front of me, of course he can't escape. You know that, right?"
Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I've seen it in books, ancient ferocious beasts."
The woman in the bell said: "This person in front of me is. What he said is indeed right. People like them have no absolute realm, just like me. Of course, compared with me, they are definitely incomparable.
Under the Grand Master, there should be no one who can match him, but it’s hard to say for the Grand Master, especially the Taoists, who already have treasures that are inherently overwhelming."
Li Mingyue nodded, feeling a little more confident.
With this guy here, even if a powerful young master comes forward in the future, you don't have to worry about not being able to defeat him, and naturally you don't have to worry about losing the Li Pearl.
The woman in the bell naturally knew what Li Mingyue was thinking, and said: "Don't be happy, this guy is by your side. He can indeed help you solve a lot of troubles, but he will also cause a lot of troubles. It would be better if you don't take action, but
Once you take action, you will inevitably be targeted. Don't forget, he is a demon, and this is the human world."
Li Mingyue frowned. He really didn't expect this, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, any good thing must be accompanied by bad things. Although those Taoist guys are hateful, what the Taoist saints said still makes sense.
At this moment, the carriage fell into a pit. Li Mingyue's body shook, and the carriage could no longer move forward.
Li Mingyue grimaced.
The old horseman hurried over and stared at the wheels of the cart stuck in the pit, with the same grimace on his face.
One master and one servant, two strong men, but they were helpless because of a carriage.
Then Li Mingyue could only get off the carriage and help push the carriage out, but after this, the carriage would definitely not be able to sit on it, so the two of them could only continue walking.
After walking for a while, it got dark, so the two of them could only stop by the roadside, destined to sleep in the wilderness.
Li Mingyue walked to the side and sighed: "It would be great if Dongmei and the others were still here."
The old groom was a little embarrassed.
Li Mingyue asked: "Can we still find the fruit like before?"
The old horseman shook his head and said, "It's hard to find them. I ran a long way before and could only find a few."
Li Mingyue said bitterly: "Then just endure it."
As he spoke, he took out the map and looked at it for a while under the faint starlight. When he saw it, his brows couldn't help but frown even deeper. There was no human habitation for dozens of miles all the way north. Dragging that broken car was at least still possible.
You have to walk for another day.
Li Mingyue thought about whether to throw away the carriage. Of course, the old horseman would definitely not agree. This guy had a soft spot for this carriage.
Li Mingyue actually couldn't figure it out. He was obviously a big monster, but how could he have more emotions than humans.
After the old horseman tied the horse, he took out a coat from the carriage, walked to Li Mingyue and unfolded it, and said at the same time: "Spring is covered with autumn frost, young master, please don't hurt your body, then the old slave will be really guilty and deserve to die."
."
Li Mingyue said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it."
The old man quickly said: "I will change it tomorrow, I will definitely change it."
Li Mingyue mocked: "Stop cultivating?"
The old man looked at the carriage and sighed: "It's something that's so broken that you can't repair it even if you want. There's nothing you can do except replace it."
Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Many things are actually the same.
Yueguan City is both a pass and a city.
Beyond Yueguan City and further north is the border between the two countries, so Yueguan City is considered the first gateway to the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. Almost half of the entire Fenzhou force is stationed here.
Now that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty has just ascended the throne, the government and the public are in turmoil, and the Taoism that has always been followed is gradually declining. The entire Tang Dynasty is in a delicate moment, and the border friction is becoming more and more intense. The three southwest states have already
The fight is fierce, and the Jinyang Empire, which has been eyeing it from the north, will naturally not let go of such an opportunity. A war is inevitable, it is only a matter of time.
In this tense atmosphere, the people of Yueguan City began to move south one after another, so although Yueguan City was the most important town in the Northeast, it seemed a bit desolate.
Nowadays, everyone is heading south, but a pair of masters and servants are going the opposite way. They are covered in dust and are more like refugees than fleeing people.
The young man walking in front was less than twenty. He was wearing a green shirt and carrying a mahogany sword on his back. Therefore, he looked more like a young Taoist priest than a child of an aristocratic family.
A stooped old horseman in linen was pulling a skinny horse, and the skinny horse was dragging a rickety carriage that might fall apart at any time.
When the young man saw a wine shop on the side of the road, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over quickly. However, as soon as he got close to the wine shop, he was stopped by two men with swords.
