went back to the inn with Lingwu, and the little Neidan that Lingwu got was given to Gu Shaoting, and Gu Shaoting was finally able to walk around freely.
"How many days does it take to get to Beijing?" As soon as Gu Shaoting was able to move, he began to inquire about the distance to Beijing.
Lingwu said that now from this town to Beijing, if we can only travel at night, it will take seven days, and if he takes us directly to Beijing, it will only take two nights.
"You can't go straight to Beijing, and when you get to Huaicheng, you have to land." Gu Shaoting said with a serious face.
"Why?" I asked in unison with Lingwu.
"Because, Huaicheng, Duzhou, Fuyang County, these towns closest to Beijing, have already set up branches of the Deepavali Pavilion, the city gate, and the city wall, all have demon charms." Gu Shaoting said expressionlessly.
Lingwu frowned when he heard this, thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and pointed at Gu Shaoting.
"When you were the owner of the library, you set up a branch library, right?" Seeing that Gu Shaoting was so clear, Lingwu pointed at Gu Shaoting and asked.
Gu Shaoting didn't hide it, and nodded slightly.
And, it also tells us that the city gate is defended, and if an abnormality is found, there will be a crossbow team to shoot monsters, using the rune paper that demons are most afraid of.
If we go like this without a little defense, we are afraid that we will be in a different place before we arrive in Beijing.
"Damn! So what do you say? Lingwu stared at Gu Shaoting and asked.
"Arrive in Huaicheng soon, you will land, and when the time comes, we will think about going to Beijing." Gu Shaoting thought for a while and said.
Lingwu was a little dissatisfied: "What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?" However, weren't you the owner of Deepavali before? Wouldn't it be nice to just find a few disciples to get along with each other? โ
"No, now the Demon Slayer Pavilion should be controlled by Hu Hongtian, if Shaoting contacts those disciples, we are likely to be directly exposed." Hu Hongtian is thoughtful, and we must be careful.
Gu Shaoting also nodded, feeling that my analysis made sense.
Therefore, I can only wait until I get to Huaicheng and then make plans.
In the evening, we ate some food, and then went back to our rooms to rest, and tonight we were going to take Lingwu to Huaicheng.
Kang Ning was tired of eating and playing, and fell asleep peacefully, Lingwu changed back to his original form and lay on the round table.
I slept on my side beside Corning, stunned and asleep.
However, he soon woke up suddenly, glanced at Kang Ning, who was still lying beside him, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her light pink hair.
The corners of Corning's mouth moved, and from time to time he opened his eyes in a daze and looked at me, but soon fell asleep again.
I looked at her, and Long Xuanling's appearance appeared in my mind.
This child, between his eyebrows and eyes, is very similar to Long Xuanling, as long as I see her, I can't help but think of Long Xuanling.
However, when he thought of the dazzling phoenix glass again, and the intimate appearance of him and the second princess, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
I can only close my eyes, and I don't want to think about it anymore.
But after closing his eyes, Long Xuanling's face became clearer, his smile, and the appearance of frowning slightly touched my heart.
I think I may never forget him in my life.
"Master, master?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the cry of Lingwu in his ears.
Turning his head, he saw that Lingwu was already standing at the head of the bed, and he whispered: "Master, it's time to go, it's already completely dark." โ
"Okay." I nodded, rubbed my eyes, and sat up.
Kang Ning on the side was still sleeping very sweetly, and I was about to pick her up, when Lingwu asked me to drink the nourishing stew from the casserole on the table.
"Master, for the sake of our little master's "rations", you have to drink these soups diligently. Lingwu coughed and said to me.
I nodded, always looking for someone to feed her for me, it was not a long-term solution, even if Kangning had no appetite, he directly picked up the casserole and drank the soup unequivocally.
After I finished drinking, Lingwu took me to the corridor together, Gu Shaoting was already waiting for us at the staircase, although he was leaning against the wall, but it was much better than before.
When we went downstairs together, the owner of the inn downstairs was still pulling the abacus to settle the accounts, and it was not surprising to see us check out late at night, but just reminded us that the world is chaotic now, don't go from the small road, and the province will encounter thieves blocking the road.
"Thank you boss for the reminder." I nodded at him.
And Lingwu on the side was clever, and immediately pointed to the carriage we parked at the door, saying that it was to be sold to the boss.
The boss glanced at the carriage and asked, "How can you get on the road without the carriage?" โ
"The relatives we went to are in the village not far from the town, within walking distance, and we don't need this carriage, if you offer a fair price, boss, we will sell it to you." Lingwu said to the boss with a serious face.
That's right, we want to take Lingwu to Huaicheng, this carriage must not be able to take away, and now there is not much silver on him, Lingwu does this to make the best use of everything.
The innkeeper thought carefully and took out three fingers.
Lingwu's face immediately drooped, and he said unhappily: "I thought that the boss was sincere, but I didn't expect that you would be used to tricking people, this horse and carriage are only three silver dollars, you might as well grab it." โ
Lingwu said, turned around and was about to leave, and the innkeeper hurriedly spoke: "Five, five silver dollars, no more, I am also a small business." โ
"Okay, but we'll get rid of the hotel money." Lingwu smiled at him and said.
The boss pointed at Lingwu and nodded slightly: "This little brother has a very good mouth." โ
After saying that, the five silver dollars were put in Lingwu's hands, and our group left the inn and walked outside the town, Lingwu turned into a real body, and we climbed on his back and flew to Huaicheng.
The night wind was very strong, I hugged Kang Ning, who was still asleep, and Gu Shaoting was sitting expressionlessly, but the look in his eyes was extremely gloomy.
"Are you cold?" I looked at Gu Shaoting's pale face and asked.
He shook his head, just staring at the dark night sky in a daze.
Lingwu flew unhurriedly, because the faster he flew, the more fierce the oncoming night wind became, and he slowed down for our sake.
But even so, he flew more than half the distance before dawn and stopped to rest in a place called Zhenyang City.
However, after Lingwu stopped in the remote alleys of Zhenyang City, we found that almost every corner here had a reward notice for the Deepavali.
"Shaoting, this, this, isn't it?" I instinctively glanced at these notices, and found that there was a notice with a portrait of Gu Shaoting actually drawn.
However, what is written above is collusion with demons, if it is found, it will be killed, and its head will be obtained, a thousand oceans!
