Chapter Eleven Official Road Meets a Scholar
On the third day after Chen Sheng left, Li Fuyao packed up his things and closed the door of his small yard.
Standing in front of the yard and carrying a large bag of things, Li Fuyao chuckled in a low voice: "Maybe I can't come back from now on. In the past, I always thought that Baiyu Town was really small and I could not go around the town after a long time. Now, I still feel a little reluctant to leave."
Qinghuai had empty hands and ignored him, just hugged his hands in front of his chest and looked at the small yard slightly.
The two of them walked out for half an hour and were about to walk out of the town. Li Fuyao finally turned around and looked at the town in the morning light before turning around and walking.
There is an official road outside Baiyu Town, which is the only road leading out. Therefore, this time I chose this road. Jianshan is at the junction of Yanling and Dayu, and this place is just north of the Great Zhou. Therefore, during this trip, Li Fuyao decided to go north to the Great Zhou border, then enter Yanling, and then turn eastward to the Jianshan Mountain. When it comes to the border between Dayu and Yanling, Qinghuai has to cross Dayu to reach Liangxi.
Before, Li Fuyao was able to know a little about the Taoist seed before. Later, Chen Sheng mentioned the Taoist seed and said a little more. Li Fuyao remembered a lot. After all, Qinghuai is a monster outside the mountains and rivers, and is not as good as Chen Sheng’s understanding of this mountain and river.
But the more I knew about that Taoist species, the more Li Fuyao felt that the woman was really a monster. Naturally, she seemed a little worried about what Qinghuai said to challenge her, but she knew that Qinghuai didn't want to listen to these things, so Li Fuyao wisely did not mention it.
A little far away from Baiyu Town, I saw some different scenery. Not only the tea and wine shop that you can see once next to the official road after a few miles apart, but also many other new faces that I have never seen before.
During this period, the two of them even saw a small team of horsemen galloping on the official road. Li Fuyao was not surprised by this, but Qinghuai was a little curious.
Li Fuyao, who was walking beside Qinghuai, said softly: "Although our Emperor of Great Zhou is a small place like the Great Zhou, his ambition is not small at all. He has launched a lot of wars over the years. I heard that the territory of the surrounding Lu State has been occupied by the Great Zhou State. Maybe this year, the State of Lu State will completely destroy the country. I really don't know if this Emperor of Great Zhou is the emperor of Yanling, would he launch a war to conquer Dayu and Liangxi."
Qinghuai shook his head and said calmly: "The fight between small countries is nothing more than using human lives to make a victory or defeat. Yanling and Liangxi have two religions behind Confucianism and Taoism. If one side shows its disadvantages completely, it is difficult to guarantee that the saints among the two religions will not take action. When the saints fight, who knows what will happen?"
Li Fuyao didn't say anything, but remembered what Chen Sheng said before. It was said that no one had become an immortal for six thousand years, which was probably related to the brokenness of this mountain and river. If the saint takes action again, would it be possible to sink the mountain and river directly?
Qinghuai stopped talking about this topic and instead asked, "You are not from Zhou, why do you say that our Great Zhou emperor?"
Li Fuyao spread his hands and said he didn't know.
Qinghuai stopped talking, just continued to rush.
The two walked along the official road and walked past a small town. They only asked Li Fuyao to buy some dry food. They did not enter the town. According to Qinghuai, the town was a little unclean.
Being a little far away from that town, Li Fuyao asked carefully: "There are really mountain spirits and wild monsters?"
Qinghuai held his hand on his chest as usual and said calmly: "There are no mountain spirits and wild monsters, but you should know that in addition to mountain spirits and wild monsters, there are also lonely ghosts in this mountain river."
Li Fuyao was born in Baiyu Town for many years and made a living by telling and saying, and I don’t know how many times he told the story of female ghosts hooking up with scholars. He is naturally very familiar with it. However, he only knew before that there were monsters in the mountains and rivers, but he never thought there were ghosts.
Qinghuai explained patiently: "The demon cultivator is a monk no matter how you say it is, and you can reach the end of that road, but these lonely ghosts cannot be called monks. It is just because people are obsessed with it for some reasons after death and have not dissipated in the mountains and rivers in time. The lonely ghosts in this form are not only afraid of the sunshine, but also difficult to harm people. They can only scare people. Of course, if you have the chance, you can continue to walk, but in the end you have to resurrect the soul by borrowing a corpse, otherwise you will not be able to reach the end of the road."
Li Fuyao frowned, "Do you want us to go and have a look?"
Qinghuai said expressionlessly: "Yes, anyway, I can only walk with you for two months at most. After two months, I will go to Liangxi at full speed. If you are not worried about whether you can walk to Jianshan, you will go and see it."
Hearing Qinghuai's statement, Li Fuyao quickly said firmly: "It's important to keep going."
In response to this, Qinghuai's mouth just raised slightly.
...
...
He continued to rush, but in fact, it was only half a day before Li Fuyao met a young scholar dressed in a relatively remote official road. However, the scholar seemed a little out of character. He just held the book and was holding a hatchet behind him.
When he saw Li Fuyao and Qinghuai, this young scholar with a pretty appearance and slender figure was resting on a large bluestone. When he saw Li Fuyao coming, the scholar stood up and stopped Li Fuyao.
This surprised Li Fuyao a little. I wondered if this Green Forest hero is also a specialist in robbing?
But soon, the scholar solemnly bowed to Li Fuyao and asked, "Did this young master know how far is Zhuyu Town?"
After hearing the three words "Zhuyu Town", Li Fuyao frowned unconsciously. No matter what,Zhuyu Town is the unclean town that Qinghuai mentioned before.
Li Fuyao was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to Zhuyu Town to do?"
The young scholar had heard Li Fuyao's question and soon smiled on his face, "So, the young master must know where Zhuyu Town is. Can the young master lead me with you?"
Li Fuyao didn't say anything, just looked at him.
The scholar remembered Li Fuyao's previous question, so he quickly straightened his waist and said seriously: "To be honest, I'm not hiding it. I'm not going to go to Zhuyu Town for anything else, but to rob a bride!"
