The next day, before it was dark, Levi woke up. He felt that his body seemed to be even more uncomfortable. The erosion of the snake was steadily increasing, and the cracked skin began to spread to his forearms.
Even without fighting, erosion is still rising steadily.
time is limited.
The cold wind blew through the house, and Li Wei saw the little girl who called herself Shanbuki turning over the pile of charcoal that was about to burn out. Her immature face looked at the fire, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Her face seemed
There is a sadness that cannot be resolved.
Seeing that Li Wei had woken up, a smile appeared on her sad face: "Master Swordsman, you are awake."
Li Wei frowned and ignored it.
Coming to this dark age, he just wanted to get rid of the big snake as soon as possible and then leave this world.
He pulled up his raincoat and tied it over his head, and set off again, preparing to follow the road to find the next settlement and find someone to ask for the direction of the divine capital.
Yamabuki didn't know where she got a raincoat and a bamboo hat, and trotted to keep up with Li Wei. This time, she didn't follow him dozens of meters behind, but came to Li Wei, walking almost side by side with him.
The amount of rain and snow in the sky has decreased a lot, and the cold wind has also eased slightly. However, in this early morning, the low temperature caused the dirt on the road to be covered with a thin layer of ice.
"Ahem..." The girl next to him coughed from time to time. This seemed to be the only sound in the whole world at this time.
Li Wei didn't know the specific direction of Shendu. He could only follow the mission prompts and follow the main road all the way east.
Along the way, he passed a place called Kuzuryu Shrine, but when Levi arrived there, it was completely in ruins. Only the unburnt remains of dozens of houses around him were left, and the onmyoji of the shrine was killed.
, the body was hollowed out and hung on the statue.
No trace of the demon was found around, and it seemed to have been gone for a long time.
He didn't stay too long, and swept away the empty shrine with a torch to drive away the carrion crows.
"Swordsman-sama, is that a shrine?" Yamabuki asked.
"Um."
"Then why can't Onmyoji-sama stop the demon?"
Crows howled in the sky, and the strong flames drove them away. The barley seedlings that had just emerged in the field had begun to be occupied by other weeds because they had not been taken care of.
Li Wei did not answer Yamabuki's question, he just held Tian Yu Yu Zhan, and the cracked and scaly skin on his hand seemed to start to ooze blood due to excessive force.
"My mother told me that the gods are at the seaside, the most prosperous place, where there are onmyojis and powerful swordsmen guarding them, and there are the best doctors..." Yamabuki coughed, wondering if it was because of the flames.
Caused by the thick smoke, "Why are Onmyoji masters also killed by demons..."
The two continued walking along the main road towards the east. Time gradually passed and the sky darkened.
Unknowingly, he had been walking eastward for a whole day. Li Wei did not find any living people along the way, not even demons. He only saw destroyed settlements and small villages one after another along the way.
It wasn't until dusk that Li Wei saw a figure from a distance. When he walked in, he discovered that it was a slightly thin old cow. An old man with white hair was leading the cow, and there were a lot of things on the cow's back.
, and a woman sitting on the back of a cow.
In this country, horses are very precious livestock. Even the Fujiwara family, which is worshiped by the Kyoto temple in the main world, only has less than four horses in total. It can be said that one horse is more precious than a high-level swordsman.
There are a lot more oxen, and most of the transportation capacity relies on oxen and oxcarts.
The old man in the distance saw Li Wei. He hurriedly tied the cow to a nearby tree, took out a knife from the cow's back and stared at Li Wei vigilantly. His body exuded weak spiritual energy fluctuations, and it seemed that
The old man should have also been a swordsman when he was young.
Walking in, the tracking technique did not emit red light, so it was not a monster.
"Hey! Who are you?" the old man shouted.
Li Wei slightly raised his bamboo hat, revealing his face. Shanbuki next to him took off his belt and gave a slight salute.
Seeing that it was a person, the old man relaxed instantly. He was slightly stunned when he saw the gorgeous Tian Yu Yu Zhan in Li Wei's hand, and then he gave a slight salute: "Please forgive me for the offense just now. This is my eldest daughter."
The woman on the cow's back also came down and bowed. She couldn't move easily, and her belly was slightly swollen, as if she was pregnant.
The old man led a few people to a ditch, tied up the cow, and lit a fire. The woman took out the tableware and a thick leather kelp tied into a knotted rope from the back of the cow.
It seemed that they were from a relatively wealthy family. Judging from the old man's initial reaction, he was probably a disarmed swordsman. Ordinary farmers would not have a cow in their family.
"Looking at the direction you are going, are you going to the capital of God?" the old man asked.
Levi nodded.
"Go back, listen to me, don't go to Shendu, just run. Shendu was finished a few days ago, and it has completely become a territory occupied by demons. Several great swordsmen are dead, and even the so-called
The Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei who was the Son of God all failed. Everyone who could escape has escaped, and the rest will be eaten by monsters sooner or later..."
The old man quickly waved his hand, as if he wanted to persuade Li Wei to stay away from the divine capital.
"Don't talk about this god's capital. There are almost no living people in Hibara Village dozens of miles away. They are all monsters. Listen to me and run to the west. The further away from the god's capital, the better. Run to the west, run to
You might be able to survive by hiding in a place where there are no monsters, but you will never survive in a god city."
"The swordsman is very powerful. He killed all the monsters along the way." Yamabuki said hurriedly.
"Awesome? What's the use of being awesome? No matter how powerful it is, can it be stronger than the Great Swordsman? Can it be stronger than Seimei-sama, who is called the Son of God? There are all big monsters over there, and I even heard that there is a demon-like existence. Anyone can go
It's all a death."
Yamabuki said no more, seeming to be overwhelmed by the old man's eagerness and excitement.
The woman brought over a pot of kelp soup and smiled at Levi.
"Don't talk about Seimei-sama, do you know that the great swordsman Hazoru is known as the world? It is said that the great swordsman was also killed by a demon. Listen to the old man's advice and run to the west. Only by running there can you find a way to survive."
The old man was still chattering endlessly, and he looked scared every time he mentioned God.
"Thanks for the reminder." Li Wei replied to the old man.
"How about we go together and run west to the westernmost Kagoshima, or go further west and go to the sea to make a living. It's better than being eaten by the monsters." The old man began to smile at Li.
Wei suggested, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be squeezed together.
From what the old man saw, we can also know that he has a wide range of knowledge. It seems that he has been to many places when he was young. And judging from what he meant, he found that Li Wei and Li Wei were not bad people, so he wanted to take them to escape together.
.
Li Wei took a look and saw that an old swordsman couldn't protect the cow he was holding and the many things on the cow's back.
