According to Ergou, this world is huge and boundless.
Because of the existence of certain special communication methods, the information in this world is not blocked. Even the unemployed Ergou knows a lot of rumors about the outside world.
Weird stories that happen in other places will spread through various means after a period of time.
As for whether it is true or false, it is impossible to tell, and in fact not many people care.
Unlike many backward planes, even two villages not far from each other do not understand each other.
Before Ergou came to the ghost town, he had heard many rumors about this city and knew that it was very rich and prosperous.
Before coming here, it can be said that I had many dreams, hoping that one day I could return home in glory.
As a result, when we arrived at our destination, we found that a beautiful city had been reduced to ruins, and hundreds of thousands of people were left in ruins.
Compared to those members of the caravan and ordinary people visiting relatives and friends, Ergou's luck was actually very good. At least he got out of the ghost town alive.
After leaving the ghost town, the two walked towards Ergou's hometown, and then to Tianxu City.
The road they took was the main road between major cities. Loess was continuously pounded into a solid road surface, which was about six feet wide.
To put it bluntly, it is more than two meters wide, barely enough for a car to walk on. Both sides of the road are either barren grassland or patches of woods.
In a world with low productivity, it is normal for such roads to appear. If you want better roads, you must go to a bigger city.
Perhaps due to the excessive drought during this period, the road surface became very hard. In some places, when the hooves of horned beasts stepped on it, there was a clanging sound of metal and stone colliding.
Tang Zhen, who was accustomed to teleporting on the road, was really uncomfortable riding a horned beast that was not too fast at first.
There was no point in just being anxious. He could only be patient and move forward slowly along the long road.
After getting used to this speed, Tang Zhen suddenly discovered that this feeling was actually quite good.
Take a slow stroll through the mountains and rivers, laugh at the changes in the world, let go of fame and wealth for the time being, and learn to be a happy fairy in the world of mortals.
If you are used to fighting and killing, and suddenly you calm down, you will find that a peaceful environment is actually very good.
At least you don't need to tense up all the time, worrying about enemy attacks, and then constantly wandering between life and death because of the mission.
The higher the strength level, the more obvious this feeling is.
As the super power is sealed, I always feel that there are many inconveniences, as if I am as weak as a baby.
No longer immortal, perhaps a mountain beast, a giant river turtle, can easily eliminate him.
The originally arrogant mentality was suddenly severely hit, and a sense of awe for all things in the world slowly emerged in my heart again.
For the powerful Loucheng monks, this is actually a true journey of refining their hearts, allowing them to stabilize their Taoist hearts again.
Regardless of whether this is the original intention of the Cornerstone Platform, it does have this effect. I believe that as long as you stick to it, your trip will definitely be worthwhile.
Tang Zhen enjoyed it, but Ergou was a little uneasy. He always looked at Tang Zhen secretly, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
Tang Zhen knew in his heart that Ergou was eager to learn skills, but he didn't know how to speak.
He was thoughtful, but didn't know how to hide it. Tang Zhen could see right through it at a glance.
So when night fell again, Tang Zhen called Ergou and demonstrated a set of sword techniques to him, practicing them three times.
Firstly, it is to teach Ergou how to learn, and secondly, it is to practice again, and maybe he will fight against the enemy again at some point.
A sword and a stick last a lifetime. For beginners like Ergou, practicing swordsmanship is the wisest choice.
This set of sword techniques is powerful and does not require too many fancy twists. As long as you practice it carefully, you can get good results in a short time.
Used with a special shield, it has amazing offensive and defensive power. It is definitely a rare and excellent martial skill.
In fact, this is the basic sword technique in the Holy Dragon War Zone. Every young monk must learn it, and it must be practiced to the level of entering the palace.
Tang Zhen's use of teaching Ergou is not considered perfunctory, because in this world, it can be regarded as a rare unique skill.
After seeing Tang Zhen's demonstration, Ergou was ecstatic and quickly learned to practice.
Although Ergou is illiterate and has a slightly naughty temperament, Ergou will never be perfunctory about the goals he pursues.
He actually memorized seven or eight of the sword skills demonstrated by Tang Zhen. Such a talent is quite good.
Tang Zhen became interested and wanted to see what he could learn and pass the boring time.
This matter was not urgent. He ordered Ergou to light the fire and cook first, and then talk about anything else after filling his stomach.
Ergou was obviously overly excited, his hands and feet were trembling, and he almost knocked over the pot while cooking.
Tang Zhen shook his head when he saw this. He could tell at a glance that Ergou had no intention of cooking right now.
It is estimated that his mind is full of those sword skills, studying how to use them smoothly.
"You go and sit next to me, and I'll cook dinner."
Tang Zhen said softly, took the bag containing rice grain from Ergou, opened it and took a look.
It is something similar to starch. It is wetted with water and rolled into a ball. It is then boiled in hot water and can be eaten.
If you feel the taste is not good, you can add other foods to make it taste better.
Ergou was clearly in a state of disbelief, and there was no delay at all to Tang Zhen's request to cook in person.
After handing the bag to Tang Zhen, he picked up the sword placed aside and kept gesticulating, with expressions of surprise and confusion flashing across his face from time to time.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to cook, but walked to the bamboo forest nearby and cut a long and thin bamboo pole.
Splitting one end of the bamboo pole into a fork, Tang Zhen slowly walked to the river in the distance and quietly watched the river flow.
Like a sculpture, it remains motionless.
After waiting for a few minutes, Tang Zhen suddenly took action, stabbing the slender bamboo pole into the water plants by the river like lightning.
The sound of splashing water was heard, and the waves rolled where the bamboo pole entered the water. Then Tang Zhen was seen lifting up, and a big black fish was lifted directly out of the water.
"Crack!"
The big fish landed on the grass and kept twisting its body, looking fierce.
Tang Zhen walked over with a smile, knocked the big black fish unconscious, and reached out to touch it a few times.
This should be a carnivorous fish, with firm and plump meat, which is definitely an ideal food ingredient.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tang Zhen felt like his mouth was watering, and he couldn't wait to taste the deliciousness of this river fish.
But he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he picked some fresh water plants with bamboo poles and found some plants by the river, and then slowly returned to his resting place.
When we were approaching the camp, we discovered that there was another group of people parked nearby, apparently also planning to set up camp.
Tang Zhen glanced at it and didn't pay too much attention.
If you are in the wilderness, if you have a choice, it is best to gather in a crowded place so that you don't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts.
Even some bandits will be wary and will not dare to be easily attacked.
Of course, out of basic vigilance, they will keep a certain distance from each other and even deploy some warning measures.
When those people saw Tang Zhen, they didn't pay much attention either. After all, he and Ergou were just two people together.
It was the big fish in his hand that attracted the attention of the tourists, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
The two dogs were sitting on the stone at this moment, holding the sword in their arms and looking straight ahead.
It seemed that he was on alert, but in fact from the time those people appeared until Tang Zhen came back from fishing, he was completely unaware.
Tang Zhen was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Could it be that these two dogs are still good practitioners?
His state is an innate ability. If his brain can be used better, his advantage in understanding martial arts will be almost unmatched by anyone.
It's a pity that he wasn't born in the Shenglong War Zone, otherwise he would have been destined to remain unknown just based on his learning attitude.
