In fact, from the root, he Shen Gui is a typical case born under feudal superstitious activities; But due to his own special reasons, until now, Shen Gui is still a pioneer fighter against feudal superstition. He believed in science and logic; For those so-called metaphysical theories such as cause and effect, reincarnation and fate, he has always regarded them as ignorant and backward feudal ideas.

This kind of pure materialist perspective is shallow and philistine for anyone in Huayu Continent; However, for Shen Gui, it is the biggest capital that enables him to settle down on this specious Huayu continent. Therefore, in a sense, although Shen Gui was neither a Heavenly Spirit Vein nor had received the Huigen empowerment of the Earth Spirit Vein, he also had a special feature that mortals could not reach.

Therefore, he understood the mysterious Gu poison of Miao Wuzhai as a kind of bacteria that cannot be identified by the naked eye, or all kinds of unknown poisonous insects and poisonous beasts; As for things like the internal breath exercises, it is understood as individual differences brought about by evolutionary inheritance, and biological electric wave force fields, and so on.

From Shen Gui's point of view, it can't be said that there is anything wrong with his perspective, but it seems a little one-sided and stubborn. For example, the transcendence of the Heavenly Spirit Veiner, or the Rejuvenation Holy Hand that he had seen with his own eyes, including the ancient god monster trapped in the Three Immortal Caves, the Changyana; These kinds of visions are obviously not strange things that can be explained clearly by the shallow and scarce scientific principles in his memory. Even if he wants to go to the meeting and deceive himself, he can't find a reasonable angle at all!

However, those extremely obvious hard injuries were still ignored by Shen Gui; In the twenty spring and autumn seasons since he came to the Huayu Continent, he has always stubbornly followed the original idea and rigidly applied to this specious Huayu Continent......

Although this is a misunderstanding of thinking brought about by cultural and historical similarities, it is also the last comfort zone in Shen Gui's soul......

Tonight, it was originally a sunny moon and stars, and there was no wind in the sky; But as a dark cloud obscured the night sky, it also announced that a rainstorm was coming.

According to the rules of walking the rivers and lakes, if there is rain on a sunny day when you are in a hurry to go at night, there is a special word called Tianliuke; Those businessmen who run long distances at night, as well as the old officials who make a living by pulling hangers, will never continue to rush if they meet a guest from heaven.

From the occult point of view, if the originally cloudless sky rains heavily in an instant, it is a wake-up call from heaven for this operation; It's not just the dignitaries and businessmen of the dart bureau who will stop, but even at the oath-taking flag ceremony of the imperial court, if they encounter this kind of vision from the sky, they will never dare to go against the sky.

From the perspective of reality, there are also a few old sayings: the moon is dark and kills people, the wind is high and the sky is on fire; Stealing the wind does not steal the moon, stealing the rain does not steal the snow. In the middle of the night when it rains in the sky, it is the turn of those roosters and dog thieves, roadblockers and robbers, and people who go out to hunt.

The sound of heavy rain and the cover of the dark night can not only distract the attention of those lonely geese and sheep, but also greatly weaken the effective vigilance range of those accompanying dart masters; In addition, after a rainstorm, no matter what evidence and traces are left, they will definitely be washed away by the rain; Therefore, in this kind of weather, even if there is no shelter around, even if you can only stand in place to resist this heavy rain, no one will dare to continue to rush rashly.

However, Shen Gui relied on his strong martial arts, and he was an extremely determined atheist, so he didn't believe in the evil of staying in heaven at all! When he found that the rain was gradually rising, he quickly whistled behind him, signaling Qi Yan, who had fallen far behind him, to change into his robe, and follow him to continue to run towards Chang'an City......

However, the palpitations and discomfort that he forcibly pressed down still intensified with the bumps on the horse's back, and finally broke out in an instant! The moment the heavy rain came, Shen Gui only felt that flowers suddenly flew in front of him, his heart was violently colic, the back of his head was like being hammered, and he didn't even have time to make a protective action, so he tilted to the left and planted his body directly from the horse......

Fortunately, the rain was heavy, the horse was timid, and the road became muddy and slippery, so although it fell in the ground, it didn't bring much harm to Shen Gui......

Qi Yan, who fell far behind, had already come to Shen Gui's side at this time; He didn't care about restraining the two horses that were looking at each other, but probed Shen Gui's snort with one hand, and gently pressed and probed Shen Gui's whole body bones with the other......

"Brother, can you speak?"

The torrential rain poured down, and the sound of smashing on the dirt and branches drowned out all the trivial sounds around it; Qi Yan, who was full of anxiety, didn't know why Shen Gui would fall off the horse, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, so he could only call out loudly to Shen Gui, who was clenching his teeth and closing his eyes......

After waiting for a while, Shen Gui still couldn't speak, but fortunately, he could still drive a finger to point slightly at his mouth......

"Want water?"

Qi Yan shouted loudly, and then, under Shen Gui's noncommittal attitude, he reached out and forcefully broke his tightly clenched jaw......

After swallowing three mouthfuls of rainwater, Shen Gui's chest rose and fell violently a few times, and his throat also let out a violent gasp like death, and then a fierce man sat up; Such a sudden change frightened Qi Yan, who was full of anxiety but helpless:

"Ahem...... Bah...... Fuck, I almost didn't come up with this breath......"

"Corpse, you! Why did you suddenly fall off the horse? In the straw hut ten miles away, there was indeed a gang of thieves waiting for the wind; But even if they dragged a catapult, they wouldn't be able to hit it that far, would they? Where the hell did you get hurt? ”

After listening to Qi Yan's questioning, Shen Gui also wondered and carefully rubbed on himself, but in the end, he still found nothing. He shook his head vigorously, stretched out his hand to wipe his face with the rain, and blew a sharp whistle at the two horses who were strolling in the rain in the distance, signaling Qi Yan to be okay and continue to hurry......

"Can you do it? This time, it was your life that didn't break your ribs; I won't have that much luck next time......"

Shen Gui turned over his horse, waved his hand to Qi Yan behind him, and then clamped the horse's belly with his feet, stretched out his hand to pull the horse's reins, and rushed into the night and rainstorm again......

The next morning, as the sun rose, the sudden rainstorm came to an abrupt end. Shen Gui and Qi Yan sold the two horses that had blown up their hearts and lungs into the soup pot of the slaughterhouse at the entrance of the town, and then walked into the town on foot.

This small town is called Shifo Temple, which is located in the south of Chang'an City, less than 100 miles away. It may be because of the short distance that although the population of this town is not large, there are many small food shops with stalls, specializing in the food business of people who come and go to Chang'an City.

Although Shen Gui and Qi Yan were covered in rain and sludge at this time; But the villagers of Shifo Town are all people who have seen big scenes, and they can see their extraordinaryness from the clothes and accessories of the two. The shops around the shops have also set up their stalls at this time, and while they are busy with the work in hand, they are chatting loudly and waiting for customers to come to the door.

It may be due to the fact that it is still early in the morning and the guests staying at the hotel have not yet woken up; Therefore, there are two drenched foreigners on the main street of the town, and they will naturally enjoy the courtesy of being welcomed by everyone:

"Authentic Xifu tofu brain, mutton balls buns!" "Mixed liver soup, meat buns, and pepper noodles sold by bearded people!" "Red dates, adzuki bean cakes, all kinds of camellia noodles, are full and cold ......"

All of a sudden, the appearance of two chickens in the soup attracted all the food vendors on the street to tear their throats and compete to sell them; Each of them wants to make the first business of the day and ask for a good start to come back!

Shen Gui and Qi Yan walked up step by step; In the end, Shen Gui stopped in front of a beef patty stall. The stall owners are a neat middle-aged couple, the husband is in charge of making cakes, and the daughter-in-law is in charge of making wontons......

Although the two market openers were uninvited, the stall owner still didn't show any signs of excitement; He just quickly rolled out the cake in his hand and greeted him very peacefully:

"Coming? Find a place to sit. Our family only sells beef patties and chicken soup wontons, how many do you want? ”

Shen Gui looked up at the oil pot, and saw that the beef patties in the first furnace were not fully cooked at this time; glanced back at Qi Yan, who had two fingers, and replied to the stall owner with a smile:

"Four beef patties, two big bowls of chicken soup ravioli! Has the Eagle Claw Sun of the Mighty Kiln been locked recently? (The arrest at the yamen gate, has there been any recent move to set up a card to replace the theft?) ）”

After listening to Shen Gui's black words, the man didn't even stagnate for half a minute in his hand, he still continued to roll out the cake embryos, pulled his neck and shouted to the back shed:

"Two big bowls of chicken soup wontons, come to the knowledgeable eater, put more sea rice......" After shouting, he raised his honest and simple face again, and smiled politely at Shen Gui:

"Hello little guest officer, you can inquire on this street, who doesn't say that my family's things are real! Slip tightly (hurry up)! ”

After hearing this, Shen Gui frowned, thoughtfully took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the man to settle the bill; Unexpectedly, people did not reach out to take the silver, but said apologetically:

"Look, guest officer, both of us are making food, and we can't grasp anything else with our hands; There is a little guest officer who takes two more steps and puts the silver in the basket at the back! ”

Shen Gui followed the other party's eyes, and also saw a table behind the shed, and a basket was placed squarely; And on the bamboo pole behind the basket, I don't know which bear child drew a bells and whistles with white ash blocks......

"Hey, officer, look, the guys in our town are so skinny? Hey, after the stall closes at noon, I have to go and change a new bamboo pole, it's really troublesome......"

Shen Gui carefully observed this children's stick figure from Qi Hui's hand, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but turn up slightly, and even the tone of his reply was a little relaxed and safe:

"Yes, yes, I have to replace this bamboo pole, it doesn't look like it here......"
