256 On the Road [Three Watches]
Although the monks with Su Dingbang and Shi looked very shrunken in front of Nuomi, they were still very clean and neat when they started to do things.
Those two body cultivators and the other two martial cultivators didn't seem to have storage bags, or the storage bags were too small, and many things had to be held in their hands.
Glutinous rice took a look at the backpacks they were carrying, and found that they were indeed used to running outside, the whole package was very strong, and it would not seem to take up much space on the back, and after tying those backpacks to the back, they could also free up their hands to do other things, and they looked very skilled.
As long as it wasn't when they were talking to Nuomi, the monks didn't show any difference. Except for the immortal cultivator named Du Hui, who seemed a little arrogant, the other martial cultivators were no different from ordinary monks, but they had a little words, probably because they were watching from the side because of their scruples.
The group really rented a riding pet, which was just the most ordinary foal, put a lot of things on it along with glutinous rice, and then dragged them out of the city.
They were also accustomed to running out of the city, and the monks who were guarding near the city gate saw them go out, and jokingly asked them if they had taken on the escort mission, or if they had another buddy in the city.
Cao Yinglong helped Nuomi lead Julou on the side, scratched his head, and didn't know how to explain, but in the end, Su Dingbang fooled him with a smile.
There were many monks who walked outside the city like them, and they all seemed to know each other, so they had to say hello when they met them, and exchange information on hand while waiting in line to leave the city.
Most of these teams look like Su Dingbang and them, they are dressed very simply, and they can be recognized at a glance as the decoration of going outside the city to hunt demon beasts, which is very similar to the outfit of secular hunters.
Nuomi curiously sat on the back of the foal tower and looked around at the monks below, only to see that most of the people who came to talk to Su Dingbang and them were dressed as hunters. On the other side, they are dressed like merchants' casual cultivators, and they don't look at this side at all, which can be said to be distinct.
It's rare that there is a person among these people who rides on the top of the foal. Nuomi is young and a female cultivator, and now that she sits tall, she often attracts the attention of others. Several teams of people have already come forward to inquire about the identity of glutinous rice with Su Dingbang.
Nuomi didn't care at first, but then she felt too many inquiring eyes, so she began to feel embarrassed, said hello to Su Dingbang and them, and slid down from the top of the pony building.
After falling to the ground, Nuomi patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally said to himself, "Okay, okay, it's finally landed." It's better to walk on the ground by yourself. ”
As soon as she said this, some individual cultivators on the side laughed with a snort, which provoked Nuomi to immediately turn his head and look over.
The body cultivator - Nuomi remembered that it was probably called Zhao Junshan - met Nuomi's gaze, and immediately panicked, looked left and right, and saw that Nuomi was still staring at him with curiosity, so he also scratched his head and said in a sullen voice: "The original surnamed Su said that she joined a clean little female cultivator, who was capable and delicate, and she had to ride out on the foal, I thought it was ...... Thought...... Uh......"
"Do you think I'm a petite one?" Nuomi helped him finish the words first.
Zhao Junshan nodded hurriedly, nodded for a while, and saw that the people next to him were staring at him, he was a little panicked again, and quickly changed his head again, stammering and saying, "No...... No, no...... Didn't ......."
Nuomi was immediately happy, so he smiled and said to them, "I'm not the one Su Dingbang said." It's not like I haven't been outside before, I've also experienced it with my colleagues, and I'm not a papier-mâché doll, where do you see me being so delicate? ”
The monks probably looked at the appearance of glutinous rice and was also very talkative, so they all scratched their heads and laughed.
After everyone laughed once, they didn't seem to be so embarrassed in front of glutinous rice.
Nuomi only then knew that they all thought that the person who was going to join the team this time was a delicate and noble female cultivator, or a disciple who was capable of scattered cultivation, and must be a person who exuded nobility from top to bottom, so they thought of Nuomi in their minds as Tian Tian's appearance, and suddenly became even more nervous, no wonder they couldn't even say a word in front of Nuomi. After Nuomi found out, in addition to being dumbfounded, he also laughed for a long time.
By the time everyone had finished laughing, the line was just in time for them to leave the city.
This out of the city is not as good as entering the city, basically there is no inspection. As long as you look at the jade card in your hand, you can release people from the city, so you don't have to wait long.
Nuomi also saw that some of the monks who had already left the city were still standing in front of the door, greeting each other, and some even made an appointment to go together and move in the same direction.
Cao Yinglong saw that Nuomi was looking at those monks very curiously, so he took the initiative to explain to her, "Those are the same tasks, and I feel that I am not capable enough to complete them, so I put the two teams together and go over there to complete the task, and I can be regarded as being able to hand in the task when I turn back." Although I have to share half with others. ”
There was a martial artist named Xue Shuyu next to him who heard them talking about such a topic, so he also turned his head to look at it, and then pointed in a certain direction, and said to Nuomi, "Have you seen that over there, there are a lot of monks around, and they are recruiting people who want to compete with us for tasks." ”
Nuomi was stunned by Xue Qiyu's word "we", but he didn't expect him to pull them together so quickly, and he also thought it was very interesting, so he asked in a low voice, "Then if we secretly complete this task, won't we offend many people?" ”
"I can't say it's offended." Xue Qiyu obviously didn't think about this problem, and also learned the appearance of glutinous rice, and whispered, "This task is outside, anyone can do it, and it can't be said whether to grab it or not." If they finish the task one step ahead of us, there will be nothing else to say except curse them behind their backs. ”
"Ahem, what are you talking about, where are we doing the thing of cursing people behind our backs." As soon as Su Dingbang turned around, he heard Xue Qiyu instilling such bad thoughts with Nuomi, and quickly came over to interrupt their conversation.
Xue Qiyu realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his words, so he quickly coughed and ran to the side and pretended to be fine.
Nuomi knew that this person had said the wrong thing, but when she saw that the other party treated her as a companion so quickly, she also felt that this person was really funny, and laughed quietly, and pulled Xue Qiyu to talk to him.
Xue Qiyu was glared at by Su Dingbang and Cao Yinglong, and he didn't dare to say anything nonsense with Nuomi for the time being.
They walked all the way, and there was no big difference from when Nuomi went down the mountain to experience it before. It's just that compared with Dong Tianying and them, Su Dingbang and them are more professional. When you walk on the road, you notice more things. They said that they had already found the path, and sure enough, they did not join the monks who were standing near the gate of Xianyi City, but turned in a separate direction and slowly went deeper into the place of the immortal forest outside.
When they walked all the way to a place where they could no longer see Xianyi City, the direction of the entire team suddenly changed, and they turned back in another direction, and really walked in the direction of the path.
It wasn't until she was halfway down the road that Nuomi realized that the place was not in a place close to Xianyi City, as she thought. If you want to walk like this, you will have to walk for half a month at the earliest.
As for taking a detour on the road or hunting two more demon beasts or something, it's really impossible to say when this time is.
It's no wonder that this quest has been released for several months, and no one has really been able to touch it, and Huā has been spending a lot of time on the way back and forth.
When Su Dingbang saw this task, it was only after nearly two months that they finally stumbled upon such a small road, and they had been in it for a long time, but they really couldn't identify it, so they returned to Xianyi City for half a month to see if they could get a monk who could distinguish between the Wuwu.
If it weren't for Su Dingbang accidentally hearing Lu Zong mention glutinous rice, they would have already thought about giving up, and they almost decided to go there directly, loot the fairy grass inside, and sell it directly.
Nuomi knew that Su Dingbang had not fully explained to her, probably because she was afraid that she would refuse because she had heard about this journey for half a month, so she didn't dare to say it. Now I heard that glutinous rice had been trained down the mountain, and I felt that such a distance was nothing, so I could say that I had come out.
Seeing that an honest person like Su Dingbang was also playing a little huā behind his back, Nuomi couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing. But if you really want to make her angry, she really can't get angry. After all, this is just a harmless thing, she has already decided to get involved with this group of people, and there is really no need to be angry because of this little thing.
The monks next to him were cautiously watching Nuomi's reaction, and seeing that Nuomi really didn't get angry because of this, they felt that Nuomi was really a lenient person, and they didn't have so many scruples when talking to her.
When they had all put aside their scruples, they began to speak like any other monk. And because they are all martial cultivators, there is not so much place to talk about, and many times when she speaks, she reminds Nuomi of the group of monks in her courtyard, or those scattered cultivators in the village at the beginning.
She had just joined the team, and she had a quiet personality, often just listening to them quietly from the sidelines, and did not intervene.
At the beginning, they were a little funny, and they all said something to each other, but after they gradually went deep into the fairy forest, they talked less about each other, and more about the surrounding environment, or where there might be demon beasts, where there might be spiritual grass.
Nuomi listened to their conversation a lot, and gradually began to understand why they were so silent.
It is really a monk who often survives in such a depressing environment, every word is said for the safety of his life, and sometimes in this fairy forest, if he speaks casually, he will expose his whereabouts, put himself in front of danger, and let the demon beasts outside have a hunting target.
So they don't like to talk much even when they're in Xianyi City, it's not that they don't want to, it's just a habit.
Glutinous rice was originally a person with few words, and I didn't feel uncomfortable with them, but occasionally I looked at them silently around the fire, and I felt that it was a little unpleasant. She couldn't say anything distressed, but she felt that it was not easy for these monks to work so hard outside, which made her feel more and more that she had done a good thing by agreeing to Su Dingbang's request.
