Seeing Jiang Hua bowing down to salute himself, a smile seemed to appear on the corner of the toad's mouth. As soon as Jiang Hua raised his head, he saw that the size of the toad on the lake instantly shrank and quickly became larger, and he immediately understood that it was this toad from beginning to end, and it was it that attacked him and helped him. Jiang Hua hurriedly bowed and saluted, as soon as his head was lowered, he felt that his eyes were dark, his body felt a little cloudy, and his feet were also soft, and he immediately fell.

Jiang Hua stretched his hands down, and there was a slippery and warm touch in his palms, and he was shocked at that time, this was not in the mouth of the toad, could it be that he still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten?

In a flash of thought, I felt that there was a bright light in front of me, and my body involuntarily slid down and touched the ground instantly. Jiang Hua saw the scene in front of him clearly, the big mouth of the toad on the opposite side was slowly closing, he should have slid down its tongue, the toad closed its mouth, its body shrank instantly, nodded twice at Jiang Hua, turned around and jumped up and disappeared into the dense fog behind him.

Jiang Hua looked at the magical white mist isolation zone in front of him, and understood that this was already the periphery of the Misty Forest, and the toad did not tell him the way out of the valley, but directly brought him here, so that he would not be lost in the dense fog again. Jiang Hua's gratitude to the toad was a little heavier, and at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the toad's cultivation, and he moved such a long distance in one swallow, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was teleporting.

Calculating the time, Jiang Hua was shocked to realize that he had been separated from Mu Qingyun for almost three months, and he didn't know what the current situation of their mother and daughter was? Thinking of Mu Qingyun's parting words to him, Jiang Hua secretly said ashamed, he only cared about cultivation, and almost forgot Sister Mu's entrustment, and the lives of their mother and daughter could be said to be in their own hands. The matter of honing martial arts must be put down first, and it is necessary to find the mark left by Xia Lei as soon as possible and walk out of this mountain.

Jiang Hua didn't know that the toad was a good person who had done it to the end, and directly sent him to the edge of the mountains and forests, how could it know that Jiang Hua had the intention of honing his martial arts, and he was afraid that Jiang Hua, who had just entered the Qi Acceptance Realm, would not be able to get out of this mountain by himself, after all, there were many spirit beasts living here that were higher than Jiang Hua, and the means that the senior left on Jiang Hua might not be able to protect him.

After carefully groping and searching for two days, Jiang Hua found nothing, Xia Lei and they didn't seem to pass through here, which was the last thing Jiang Hua wanted to see. However, Jiang Hua found that the mountains here were gradually becoming gentle, the trees in the forest were much thinner, and the long-lost birdsong was also increasing.

This discovery made Jiang Hua very happy, and he no longer deliberately looked for the marker, but followed the direction of the mountain, all the way down the mountain.

"It's finally out!"

Looking at the empty wasteland and the clear blue sky in front of him, Jiang Hua, who had been in the mountains and forests for almost three months, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt like he had seen the light of day again.

I don't know where the Divine Flame Valley is, so I will first get to the place where there are people and then inquire in detail. Jiang Hua didn't know which direction to go, so he could only use the mountain behind him as a benchmark and stay away from the mountain first.

Hundreds of miles away from the mountains is the barren Gobi Desert, and Jiang Hua walked for most of the day without stopping before discovering a different scenery. There is a reflection of water and light in front of me, and there is a lot more green on the ground, and when I get closer, I can see that it is a wetland tidal flat. Jiang Hua didn't dare to wade into the water, for fear of a swamp trap, so he could only slow down and jump to find a place to stay, and from time to time some water birds were frightened away by his movements.

I walked through the tidal flats without danger, and then passed through a forest with sparse ordinary trees, and vaguely saw what seemed to be curling green smoke. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hua's mind was completely relaxed, and the breath he was forcibly lifting instantly relaxed, and a strong sense of fatigue spread throughout his body.

Now that he had found signs of human activity ahead, Jiang Hua was not in a hurry, and he ate a "Zhu Yu" to relieve his hunger, and he began to perceive the vitality of heaven and earth. After successfully stepping into the Qi Absorption Realm, Jiang Hua found that the effect of "Body Refining Duel" to relieve fatigue disappeared, whether it was simulating movements in his mind or actually practicing it, on the contrary, perceiving and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could allow him to quickly recover his physical strength.

As the sky got darker, Jiang Hua decided to take advantage of the darkness to investigate the situation ahead, he had also learned wisely, and he would not rashly contact strangers again. Besides, with his current outfit, ordinary people won't treat him as a normal person when they see him.

The window of an adobe house flickered with flickering light, and Jiang Hua tiptoed close to the window, listening intently to the movement inside.

"Old man, do you say that our son will be bullied when he works as an errand in the government? I heard that the people in there are not easy to get along with, and Dong'er is a poor scholar, they will look down on him. An old woman's voice was weak.

"I said old woman, it's not annoying for you to nag the same thing every day, I've told you many times, Dong'er is favored by the city lord's little son, and he is a strategist in the city lord's mansion, and his status is high, no one bullies him, and you don't understand if you talk too much. The old but breathless voice sounded.

"I just miss him, it's been three years since he went to the city to study, and he's only brought back two letters......" The old woman choked up.

"I asked Mr. Zhang to write a letter for me, and I asked someone to bring it to the city in a few days, don't worry, Dong'er is a sensible and good boy, he will take time to come back when he receives the letter. Maybe they'll take us to the city to live there, and I'm a little reluctant to let go of these old neighbors. ”

"If only that were the case......"

As the light in the room faded, the conversation did not sound again. Jiang Hua got a few useful information from the simple conversation.

First, judging by the tone and tone of the dialogue, this is a person like himself, and he will not be ostracized as in a basin village. Second, the old man has a son in the city, I don't know if it's Aoki City, if it's Aoki City, he should know the specific location. Third, the intuition is that these two old people are good people, and they are easier to get in touch with.

After a simple analysis, Jiang Hua decided to wait for dawn to find an excuse to contact the old man, since he had identified the target, he did not go to other people's houses to test it, and it was easy to cause misunderstanding if the black light was blind.

Randomly found a corner of the wall, Jiang Hua sat quietly to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, waiting for dawn, he found that the vitality of heaven and earth here is much thinner than in the mountains and forests, and it can't be compared with the misty valley, I don't know if it will be even thinner in the city.

Jiang Hua discovered not long ago that in addition to the appearance of new dreams, he could already control whether he could sleep at night. I couldn't feel the length of time in my cultivation, and Jiang Hua didn't feel that after a long time, the sky gradually brightened.

People are used to getting up early when they are old, Li Dafu pushed open the door as usual and prepared to pour the night pot, but out of the corner of his eye, there seemed to be a dark shadow in the corner of the wall not far away. He rubbed his somewhat hazy eyes a few times with the back of his hand, and was about to take a closer look, when suddenly the black shadow moved, and he trembled with fright, and the night pot in his hand almost fell to the ground. Li Dafu hurriedly turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, and looked out through the gap in the door.

"Old man, what kind of nerves do you have early in the morning, what are you looking at when you don't go to the night pot and close the door?"

"Shhhh......h

"Don't be afraid, sir, I'm a passing merchant, and I've borrowed your yard to rest for the night. Jiang Hua let his tone be as kind as possible.

Li Dafu in the room was slightly relieved when he heard Jiang Hua's voice, he didn't answer, he still observed outside the crack in the door, and when Jiang Hua approached the room, Li Dafu saw Jiang Hua's appearance and was completely relieved.

Putting down the night pot in his hand, Li Dafu pushed open the door and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

Jiang Hua knew the truth that if he said too much, he would lose, so he didn't open his mouth casually, and looked at the old man with a kind smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Li Dafu asked suspiciously, pointing to the grass coat on Jiang Hua's body.

"To make you laugh, I met bandits on the way, and my belongings were robbed, and the most hateful thing is that they also stripped me of my clothes and teased me, but fortunately they did not have the intention of killing, and after I was let go, I could only weave clothes with wild grass to cover my body, and I lost my way in a hurry, and I came to you. Jiang Hua is not good at lying, so he can only make up such far-fetched reasons.

"Oh, then, come in, young man, and I'll get you a dress to wear. Li Dafu invited Jiang Hua into the house.

Li Dafu and his wife are both kind-hearted people, and they are convinced of Jiang Hua's words, and the old couple warmly received Jiang Hua, found him his son's clothes, and saw that Jiang Hua was a little small when he wore it, and helped him lengthen the sleeves of his shirt.

After some conversation, the old couple were very happy to learn that Jiang Hua's destination was Aoki City, and their son Li Dongsheng was in Aoki City. Li Dafu implored Jiang Hua to help him carry a letter to his son, and Jiang Hua happily agreed.

After asking the general location of Aoki City, Jiang Hua said goodbye and left, and when he left, Li Dafu simply stuffed Jiang Hua with a few coin-sized blue and black discs, saying that he was grateful to Jiang Hua for sending the letter and letting him use it on the road. Jiang Hua knew that this was the coin circulating here, so he had to put it away.

After saying goodbye to the two kind old men, Jiang Hua followed the general direction pointed out to him by Li Dafu and headed towards Aoki City.

Jiang Hua recalled Li Dafu's words as he walked. "Recently, the activities of bandits have become more frequent again, and Mr. Zhang's nephew has also heard that he is also a merchant in Aoki City, and he brought back Dong'er's letter last time. I heard him say that the city lord's mansion was recruiting soldiers and preparing to encircle and suppress the largest group of bandits.

"Young man, you are alone in a layman's business, you must be careful, everyone else is now ganging up to hire guards, and small businessmen who have no strength dare not go out. ”

Li Dafu's admonition made Jiang Hua secretly surprised, but he didn't expect his nonsense to come true.

"Bandits, right, I didn't have time to find wild beasts in the mountains and forests to practice, so I'll try my martial arts with you! Jiang Hua not only didn't take Li Dafu's words seriously, but also was faintly excited, hoping that he could meet a bandit so that he could practice his hands.
