Chapter 8: Departure
Sai Tai Sui's final attribution is more peculiar, the king of Zhu Ziguo did not kill Sai Tai Sui, he was worried that killing would attract the revenge of the gods, so he imprisoned him in the dungeon, and in order to prevent Sai Tai Sui from escaping, Zhiwei suggested that the king tie Sai Tai Sui's limbs with a thousand catties of boulders, and sure enough, when Sai Tai Sui's limbs were tied, his mana had no way to run.

This is also the tragedy of demons, if the cultivation is not strong enough, in case something happens to his limbs, then a body of mana will have no effect, but these things have nothing to do with Zhiwei, the only thing related to him is that the king gave Zhiwei the cold moon, and at the same time gave him a lot of money.
When Zhiwei returned to Ziyang Pharmacist's residence, Zhiwei gave more than half of the money to Ziyang Pharmacist, and Ziyang Pharmacist also accepted it, after all, when Zhiwei gave it, he opened his mouth and said, where is this money to help those poor.
There are poor people everywhere in the world, even if the country is rich and strong, but Zhu Ziguo is not too rich and strong, when Zhiwei worked here, he had already sent a lot of poor people to heal, but Ziyang Pharmacist did not collect their money, because there was no money income, Ziyang Pharmacist's life was not very good now.
When Zhiwei received the king's reward, he immediately decided to leave a large part of the money to the Ziyang pharmacist, which had two purposes, one was to thank him for saving his life, and the other was to save those poor people, anyway, the king rewarded too much money, and it was not convenient to carry it himself, so it was better to do a good deed.
The day before parting, Zhiwei and Ziyang Pharmacist were drunk, this is to commemorate their friendship, Zhiwei thought to himself. But parting is always the most painful, Zhiwei got up secretly early in the morning, he picked up his bag, looked at Ziyang Pharmacist, and left here alone, some things are better not to meet.
Zhiwei chose only one route to Chang'an, that is, to follow the caravan, Zhiwei knew after reading Zhu Ziguo's map that he would definitely be able to return to Chang'an with the caravan, but from where the caravan went, he learned that the distance from Chang'an was farther than he imagined.
If you walk normally, it will take at least three years to return to Datang, and Chang'an in Datang is thousands of miles away, but there is no way, if you don't take this road, you can only venture through the desert, but the danger of the desert Zhiwei still knows, he knows that he has not yet reached the point of Bigu, and he still needs food and water to support his life, if he ventures across the desert, not to mention whether he will get lost, he can't even get food, it was not a dead word at that time.
Since there is no other route, Zhiwei had to follow the caravan all the way, the caravan he chose this time was not to Chang'an, Chang'an was too far, Zhu Ziguo did not have any caravans where to go, most of the caravans were special products that were transported back from Xiliang after transporting the goods to Xiliangguo, and Zhu Ziguo's things were transferred to Xiliangguo, and those goods would be encountered by other caravans in other places.
Now Zhiwei's first goal is to go to Xiliang Kingdom, Xiliang Country is not far from Zhu Ziguo, only a little more than a month away, but the peculiarity of Xiliang Country is where the women's rights are in charge, the king and ministers are women, but there are relatively few men and low status, but this is only for the residents of Xiliang Kingdom, as for businessmen like themselves, there is another law to manage him.
When Zhiwei walked out of the border of Zhu Ziguo, a burst of yellow sand came to him, Zhiwei looked at the scenery that was completely different from the Tang Dynasty, he deeply felt that there is nothing strange in this world, and there is a desert on all sides, there is a hidden country here, so what is the situation in Xiliang Kingdom, he has heard that the scenery is very different from here, and now he wants to see it very much.
。。。。
The journey is long and boring, at first Zhiwei was amazed by the desert, and gradually as time went by, he saw too much and felt bored, all around was exactly the same scenery, any beautiful scenery will be bored if you see too much.
However, there is still a lot of fun on the road, such as the orchid in front of him now, at this time the orchid is telling a story about the desert, the content of the story is very strange, making Zhiwei feel that there are also mysteries in the desert.
Soon, following the story of the orchid, they came to today's campsite, where there happened to be a lake with water, which Zhiwei estimated might have accumulated when it rained.
After the businessman who took the lead carefully filled the water margin, he said: "Shaoxia, you should also be careful when you fill the water, the water here is best not to be wasted, because it is too precious, and the people behind it may not have water if they are wasted." ”
Zhiwei nodded, he knew that water in the desert was more expensive than food, and if he wasted it, he might be enough, but the caravan that came later might have no water because of his waste, and it was impossible to live out of the desert without water.
And not only does he not learn to cherish water, then the rest of the people may imitate him, and then when he doesn't know when he will also encounter a shortage of water, then he will be miserable.
The years have taught people in the desert a lot of truths, and Zhiwei has slowly felt the huge difference between here and Chang'an, everything here is different from Chang'an, Chang'an is like the center of heaven and earth, where people despise everything except Datang, but here they are in awe of everything, awe of the people on the road, awe of the animals on the road, awe of everything that can live, and awe of this heaven and earth.
But the sky is still that day, there are still a lot of similarities, Zhiwei is lying on the sand, he looks at the starry sky above his head, Zhiwei saw the Big Dipper on the starry sky, and also saw the round moon, the starry sky here is no different from Chang'an.
Zhiwei looked at the sky, he felt how small he was, although he was very far away from Chang'an, but the starry sky was still above his head, if he looked at himself from the starry sky, he might not have walked half a step.
The mystery and charm of the starry sky is something that people can't explore in their lives, if you can't grasp the starry sky, grasp it now, when Zhiwei was thinking, someone came to him, handed him a piece of meat, and said: "Come, Shaoxia eats meat." ”
After Zhiwei took the meat, he took a bite and said, "It's delicious." ”
The man smiled and said, "This is our Zhu Ziguo's specialty mutton, and it can't be eaten in other places." ”
Zhiwei smiled slightly and said: "Indeed, I have lived in Zhu Ziguo for so long, and I like the meat there the most, which is incomparable to Datang." ”
"Oh, you're from Datang." The man looked at Zhiwei in surprise.
Zhiwei nodded and said, "Indeed, I am from Datang, but now I have to go back." ”
"I'm homesick."
"Yes."
