Fighting fingers dry, for the beginning of winter, winter, the end, everything is collected.

The farther east it gets, the colder it gets, but fortunately, Bai Xiaodou changed into an aqua blue robe, but the cool breeze blew, and the little girl's face was still frozen red.

On the side of Leping County, Lidong wanted to eat dumplings, but fortunately, he happened to walk to a city, and Liu Jingxun took Bai Xiaodou to eat dumplings.

One meal of dumplings cost three meals of dumplings, because people only sell meat filling, if it weren't for the extra money, Bai Xiaodou wouldn't be able to eat the dumplings stuffed with tofu and cabbage.

The lower reaches of the Lingxi River, all the way to the seashore, I don't know what's going on, the aura is thinner than other places, and the mundane cities are the majority. Liu Jingxun's thin clothes always attract the attention of others, so Liu Jingxun put another layer of cotton clothes on Bai Xiaodou.

Originally, Liu Jingxun wanted to stay in the city for one night, but Bai Xiaodou didn't like to give birth to too many people.

This girl has always liked to sleep in the open and sleep in the wilderness.

Around dusk, the master and apprentice were still on a dilapidated official road, except for the pines and cypresses on the mountains on both sides and glowing with greenery, the rest of the trees were all scattered branches.

Liu Jingxun did not carry a sword, but carried a cage, like a scholar rushing to take the exam. Bai Xiaodou always felt that he didn't bring anything, and it was a little inappropriate, so he pestered Liu Jingxun and bought her a wrapper skin embroidered with lotus flowers.

The sun is driven down the mountain, after all, the stars and the moon are the masters of the night.

Today, October 14, the moon tends to be round, and the stars are still brilliant, but Liu Jingxun did not look up at the starry sky.

Now that he has entered the boundary of Dongyue in Shenlu Continent, someone can ambush Baijie, and naturally he can make a stumbling block for himself. It's just that the whereabouts of that seal are unknown, and before its real location is revealed, I am afraid that there are many secret hands. Many things are difficult to guard against, and when the likes of Qi Refiners, such as spell masters and hexagram masters, leave the means, he Liu Jingxun may not be able to find out.

Turning his head to look at Bai Xiaodou, who was already asleep, Liu Jingxun smiled and reached out to help her cover the blanket.

This girl doesn't eat meat, and although she looks a little fatter now, she is still a little thin compared to her peers. When she sleeps, she grinds her teeth and kicks the quilt, in fact, she can drink bone broth for a few days, but Liu Jingxun really doesn't dare to give her a drink.

So in the past few days, Liu Jingxun has been wondering, do you need to teach this girl the set of Baduan brocade first, only teach the kind that is circulated in the mundane, at least it can also strengthen the body. When you feel that the time has come in the future, give her the exercises.

Liu Jingxuan suddenly sat up straight, took out a book, and reached forward with the other hand to bake the fire.

Not long after, a young man, who looked not very old, at most sixteen or seventeen, came riding a black donkey.

The young man carried a sword on his back, and his clothes were sloppy, like a ranger.

From afar, I heard the young man muttering: "Lao Hei, don't be afraid, when we kill demons and become real heroes, we will eat whatever we want, and marry ten daughters-in-law in one go!" ”

Liu Jingxuan only thought that he was reading the book and was engrossed, but he didn't see the young man.

But when the young man with the sword on his back approached, he turned over and got off the donkey, and walked over to Liu Jingxun's side with his eyes glared.

The sloppy young man looked incredulous, pointed at Liu Jingxun, and shouted, "Are you sick?" In the wilderness, you read a book here? ”

Liu Jingxun raised his head and glanced at him, stretched out his index finger to make a silent gesture, and then lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, the child is asleep." ”

The sloppy young man took a dozen steps back, pulled out the long sword behind his back, and rummaged around his body for a long time before he turned out a yellow talisman and pasted it on the body of the sword.

Liu Jingxun was stunned, he really didn't pretend.

As a result, I saw the young man raise his long sword, chant words for a long time, and then spit on his hand and wiped his eyes.

The young man looked at Liu Jingxun carefully, then let out a long sigh of relief, and even raised his arm to wipe his sweat.

"It's okay, I thought you were a goblin stealing children."

Liu Jingxun looked stunned, and said in his heart, is this kid not bright? What the hell?

Liu Jingxun closed the book and said helplessly: "Who are you?" What for? ”

The young man grinned, withdrew his talisman, tossed his sword aloft, and then took a step forward, tilting his head in a dashing manner.

Hearing only a crisp voice, Liu Jingxun drooped his eyelids and stretched out his hand to point behind the young man, "Drop the stone, don't break the tip of the sword." ”

The black donkey behind didn't know why, and suddenly screamed, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a mocking voice.

The young man looked embarrassed, turned around and picked up the long sword, put back the scabbard behind his back, cleared his throat again, and then said with a smile: "That's a good question! This hero's surname is Zhao, his name is Changsheng, he is a swordsman, determined to walk the world, act chivalrous and righteous, and subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

Liu Jingxun opened the book again and said casually: "Okay, Zhao Daxia took the time to wash his hair, the smell is too rushing." ”

The young man who claimed to be Zhao Changsheng was not annoyed, he just smiled slightly, jumped to the fire with an arrow, and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.

"Scholar, there are goblins around here, how dare you take a child to stay in this wilderness? I'm really not fooling you, I'm here to get rid of demons. ”

Liu Jingxun turned his head, his expression of disbelief was not pretended.

Zhao Changsheng saw that this scholar actually suspected himself, so he immediately stood up, sealed his hands, and said something in his mouth, and then pointed towards the open space, and a flame burst out in an instant, burning a pile of weeds.

But the next moment, Zhao Changsheng rushed over, stepping on and beating with a stick, and worked for a while before extinguishing the fire.

Liu Jingxun somewhat understood, why did this guy look sloppy.

Turning the page, Liu Jingxuan said softly: "The scholar is full of righteousness, and the demons and monsters see that I have to retreat, and I am afraid that they will do something." ”

Zhao Changsheng ran over in a few steps, gave a thumbs up, and looked appreciative, "This brother, just from your words, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, at least you have a belly full of ink." ”

Liu Jingxuan ignored him, but this guy continued: "Don't lie to you, go forward, at least a hundred miles away, demons and monsters are rampant, I can't say that when you walk at night, you meet a thief and a young lady, looking good-looking, but in fact, she may be a ghost!" In this way, I also feel that I am destined for you, you only need to give me ten taels of silver, and I will guarantee that you will walk out of this hundred miles with all your beards and tails. ”

Good guy, you can really break it.

Liu Jingxun turned around, took out a white cake from the bookcase and handed it over, and said softly: "When I am full of food and trouble, I will be deceived by someone, firstly, I have no silver, and secondly, I am really not afraid." ”

Zhao Changsheng snatched the white cake, as if he was reincarnated as a hungry ghost, and he couldn't choke after a few bites. But he was also afraid of waking up the sleeping child, so he choked with tears and still didn't cough out.

Liu Jingxuan sighed helplessly, took a kettle and handed it over, and the guy poured it wildly, which made it better.

I thought that what Fang just said hurt his self-esteem enough, this young man who had just entered Qi refining should always make a face, and leave after eating.

But the results are always unexpected.

Zhao Changsheng patted his chest, and when he turned his head to speak, he changed his title, "Big brother, what is your surname?" There are not many good people like you in the world, just flush this pot of water, a piece of cake, and the little brother will do his best to protect you through this journey, without taking a penny! ”

Liu Jingxun has the divine thoughts of the fugue realm, but he turned over and looked at this guy to the bottom, no matter how you look at it, he is just a poor ranger who can't afford to eat, and the donkeys are hungry and thin.

This guy just dropped the sword outside, naturally he deliberately played treasure, refining qi realm, knowing some swordsmanship, and walking the rivers and lakes is naturally not a big problem, but once he encounters real demons and monsters, even if it is not even a ghost cultivation, he can only be regarded as a demon with a lot of resentment, he can't stand it.

Since you can't see the doorway, you don't have to think about it.

Liu Jingxun closed the book and said softly: "No need, even if there are really demons and monsters in the world, readers also have a way to get rid of demons and catch ghosts." ”

Zhao Changsheng was stunned for a moment, "Will the scholar also kill demons and catch ghosts?" What's the idea? ”

Liu Jingxun stretched out his hand to bake the fire and said with a smile: "Reading!" ”

The corners of Zhao Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he had to give a thumbs up.

But he didn't plan to leave, but instead stared at Liu Jingxuan's cage in the middle of the night to see endlessly, and after a while, this guy's stomach growled endlessly.

Liu Jingxun didn't hear it, leaned back, covered the blanket covering Bai Xiaodou's body with his hand, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Of course it's not really sleeping, but if the stunned boy next to him doesn't leave, what can you do?

Liu Jingxun wanted to see if the hungry young man who couldn't stand it would wait for Liu Jingxun to fall asleep and get the white cakes in the cage.

The young man saw that Liu Jingxun had fallen asleep, so he didn't make a sound, his hungry stomach shook the sky, and his eyes were staring at the cage about to glow green, but he still couldn't bear to open the cage.

In the second half of the night, when the fire was about to be extinguished, Zhao Changsheng ran to collect firewood, and he didn't know where he moved a large tree root, and then pulled the black donkey to the vicinity, so he held his sword, curled up beside the fire and slowly fell asleep.

Liu Jingxuan didn't open his eyes, because he really couldn't believe his eyes.

Since the incident of Zhang Wuwei passed, Liu Jingxun always felt that a stupid guy he met on the side of the road might be a terrifying monk on the top of the mountain.

Merely...... Liu Jingxun once heard a sentence that was said by an old woman in Fuzhou County.

She said that people are shrunk in their mother's womb, so most people who like to curl up when they sleep don't know what it's like to sleep in their mother's arms.

Bai Xiaodou just started sleeping, and he also likes to hold something, and he also likes to huddle into a ball.

So Liu Jingxun is very fortunate that he has a mother, a godmother, and a mother.

The next morning, Zhao Changsheng was the earliest, and he had to find some forage for the black donkey.

Liu Jingxun roughly told Bai Xiaodou how smart the little girl was, and said that the master was the master who taught me to read and write.

After a while, Zhao Changsheng led the black donkey back, the donkey was full, and the person's stomach rumbled.

Liu Jingxuan had no choice but to take out three pieces of cake and hand it over, and said angrily: "At a young age, pick up and pick up yourself, and leave quickly when you are full." ”

Zhao Changsheng took the cake and gnawed on it, Quan Dang didn't hear Liu Jingxun's words, leaned over to Bai Xiaodou's side, looked at the words copied by the little girl, and read: "If you are in a hurry, ...... Scoop and ...... Meaning? ”

Bai Xiaodou raised his head, but he finally met someone who knew less words than himself.

The little girl pouted, looking like a little gentleman, "If you are in a hurry, you are not as literate as me." ”

Yesterday, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by Liu Jingxuan so brightly, Zhao Changsheng didn't blush, but as a result, Bai Xiaodou's face turned red at this time.

Zhao Changsheng, who was deflated, had no choice but to walk to Liu Jingxun's side, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, what's your name?" More than 100 miles away, not to mention you have to walk for a few days, meeting is a friend, multiple friends have many roads! ”

Liu Jingxun can see that this guy will definitely be able to make friends with Cai Zhenzhu.

"My name is Liu Jingxun, a native of Middle Earth, and I have been studying abroad for almost six years."

Zhao Changsheng was speechless, "Middle Earth? Somewhere, the name has also come to a great place. But I didn't see it, Brother Liu is still an old man! ”

Don't know about Middle-earth? I'm afraid this kid doesn't even know that he's a qi refiner!

Sure enough, walking the rivers and lakes, you can see any kind of person.

After walking about 20 miles, after passing a fork in the road, the road was much smoother.

During the day's journey, Zhao Changsheng chattered endlessly, and he almost didn't tell Liu Jingxuan about his own peeing and mud.

But Liu Jingxun listened to it, this guy only has one meaning, this way to the East China Sea, there are many demons and monsters, he Zhao Changsheng ate Liu Jingxun's cake, and he must escort Brother Liu to the East China Sea safely.

Good guy, a day's journey, this guy wants to mess up for half a year?

As a result, not long after walking out of the fork in the road, along a small river, there was a post station standing on the side of the road.

Liu Jingxun turned his head and looked at Zhao Changsheng with a smile.

The latter looked innocent and said aggrievedly: "Look at the map, this is really a hundred miles of desolate people nearby!" ”

Liu Jingxuan said angrily: "It's getting dark, let's rest here for the night tonight." ”

After finishing speaking, she pulled Bai Xiaodou forward, and the little girl suddenly pulled Liu Jingxun and said softly: "Master, why doesn't he move." ”

Liu Jingxun turned his head and said with an angry smile: "Zhao Daxia, do you want me to invite you?" ”

Zhao Changsheng couldn't stop laughing, holding the reins of the black donkey in his hand, clutching it very tightly.

"First, we don't have an official body, and the post station may not be accepted. The second is, I don't have any money, so let's not go, right? ”

Brother Liu smiled and didn't speak, meaning I haven't seen you so thin-skinned?

Zhao Changsheng sneered, walked up to Liu Jingxun, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Liu, I really didn't lie to you, you listen to me, don't go." There can be no post station here, the dispute between the two countries, the war was not stopped in the early years, and now there has been no one in this vicinity for many years, how can there be a post station suddenly? ”

Liu Jingxun sneered and said indifferently: "Then let the demons and monsters eat me, if you come, I will invite you to eat a vegetarian meal again, if you don't come, let's say goodbye." ”

After saying that, he went to the post station, chatted with the steward for a few words, handed over two pieces of broken silver, and then swaggered in.

Zhao Changsheng is still struggling, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be a post station in this place, what's going on?

If you follow his idea, walk the rivers and lakes, be careful!

Can...... After all, I've eaten other people's cakes, in case something happens, I can't help it!

Zhao Changsheng gritted his teeth, damn it! Lao Tzu is a dignified hero, or a swordsman, how can he eat other people's cakes for nothing?

It would be nice to be cautious! Besides, my methods of subduing demons and eliminating demons are not learned in vain.

He took a bite into his palm, and the young man rubbed his hands, wiping his eyes with each palm, but he didn't see a reason for a long time.

The young man turned around and patted the black donkey, and sighed: "The old guy said let me wait for you to go to the rivers and lakes to ward off evil spirits, I hope it really works!" ”

"Brother Liu! Wait for me! ”

Liu Jingxuan sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, where did he learn this disgusting trick? You recited the mantra, you obviously don't need that spit, why do you have to do it too much?

In fact, the "eye-opening" method used by Zhao Changsheng is the most commonly used small technique to peep at the qi machine under the concentrating realm, but if the opponent's realm exceeds the Huang Ting realm, this technique will have no substantive effect.

Liu Jingxun took some more money before someone led the black donkey to the backyard, and the post station and the like always had forage.

The post stations in the world are mostly set up for thirty miles, but Liu Jingxun just released his thoughts to explore, and there are no post stations in the nearby hundred miles, and there are few people. There are few returns, but in the deep mountains, there are still a few small villages.

The Jingyang Dynasty did not set up a post station, because Jingyang had a more convenient way to communicate, even if it was thousands of miles away, as long as the message was transmitted, it would come in an instant.

But in a small country, most of the post guards in the post station were sent from the army.

Zhao Changsheng came and sat down, and said with a smile: "I want to come and go, it's better to protect Brother Liu." ”

Liu Jingxun said helplessly: "I don't have much money, but I can take care of your meals." ”

At this moment, the old post man of this post station came over, took a pot of tea, put it down and said to Liu Jingxuan: "I saw that it was getting dark, and it was not very peaceful in this neighborhood, so I let you get together for one night." But there are some things I have to say beforehand, although we are a newly built station, and most of the time no one comes, but as soon as someone comes, you have to leave immediately. Also, the money I charge you is naturally more expensive, but I am risking my head to earn this money. ”

Liu Jingxun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Yicheng, it's not the first time I've lived in a post station, and I know the rules." ”

Lao Yicheng nodded and said softly: "That's okay, I'll give you some vegetarian food in a while, and make do with it." ”

After a pause, Lao Yicheng still spoke: "I said, it's not peaceful around here, and it's October 15 today, don't go out if you have nothing to do, you won't be responsible if you go out." ”

Lao Yicheng turned to leave, Bai Xiaodou blinked his eyes and said curiously: "What's wrong with October 15?" ”

Liu Jingxun explained with a smile: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the officials of the first month will be blessed, the local officials will forgive their sins on the fifteenth day of July, and the water officials will be relieved of misfortune on the fifteenth day of October. Originally, these three days were just days for ordinary people to beg God for blessing or to remember their ancestors, but somehow, it became Halloween. In my hometown, if a relative has died less than three years ago, every Chinese New Year's Eve has to go to the grave, ask the ancestors to go home for the New Year, and do not send the ancestors back until the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

After the little girl sighed, she looked forward to what she would eat later.

Zhao Changsheng didn't sleep all night, and almost kept an eye on the outside.

But the result was that he was disappointed and relieved.

Because last night, all night was fine.

In fact, Liu Jingxun had long known that there would be nothing going on, and last night he roughly looked at the map of this place, where the two countries meet, and the south is still next to the first dynasty in Shenlu Continent, and the two small countries want to swallow this place, but the south is strong, so they have to take a step back and put aside the dispute, so this place will be sparsely populated.

The only thing that is problematic is that this post station is fake, but people are not bad people, they should just be mountain people who want to make some money.

The black donkey was requisitioned by Bai Xiaodou, and at this moment he was thinking about whether people rode horses like this.

It's just that Zhao Changsheng was a little sullen along the way.

Liu Jingxun said in his heart, why is he so good-tempered? If he was fifteen or sixteen years old, where would he care about what Zhao Changsheng thought in his heart? Love how to go.

I can only attribute this problem to the two years in the three-character tower.

For two days, the hundred-mile journey was about to be completed, and Liu Jingxun felt that he still had to talk to this young man.

Liu Jingxun took the kettle and took a sip, but it was actually wine.

"Are you frustrated because you haven't proven your vision? Or do you think that you Zhao Daxia is capable of running to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but you didn't even see a ghost? ”

Bai Xiaodou pursed his lips and interjected: "Master, he thinks that the master will think that he is cheating on eating and drinking." ”

Zhao Changsheng turned his head to look at Bai Xiaodou, smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect me to be so careful and show you this little girl." ”

After a pause, the young man said: "My master said, we swordsmen, of course, we must take care of things that can be managed, where is there idle things in the world?" What we see as idle things may be things that others are anxious about. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled and nodded, "Your master looks like a master." ”

The young man smiled bitterly and said: "What a master, he is an old man who comes to the village every few days to cheat and cheat, and I will share some of what I have to eat, so he taught me a few tricks, and I saw that he was very powerful, so I recognized him as a master." ”

Liu Jingxun said softly: "Who said that a master has to be a master of martial arts?" The one who can say that must be a rare master. You, you still have to read more, some people's books are on paper, some people's books are on the road, you don't have to copy books to endorse books. ”

Zhao Changsheng hadn't spoken yet, but Bai Xiaodou's eyes widened and he wanted to come over and speak.

As a result, she gave people a look, and the little girl had no choice but to pout and mutter: "I know, a monkey is a tether!" ”

A big river suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Jingxun looked ahead, and said in his heart that this Lingxi River was finally back on the right road.

Liu Jingxuan stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Changsheng's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going to go next?" ”

Zhao Changsheng shook his head, "I don't know, go to the rivers and lakes!" Look where there are ghosts and monsters that harm people, and they will subdue demons and eliminate demons along the way, and they will also eat together. ”

Liu Jingxun said softly: "Then let's walk together for a while, anyway, I'll go east all the way, and if I can't say it, I'll meet some demons and monsters." ”

Liu Jingxun said coldly: "Zhao Changsheng, in fact, you are not suitable for the rivers and lakes. ”

Before dark, the three of them finally came to a small town, although it was not big, it was more than enough to find an inn.

Sleeping until midnight, Liu Jingxun suddenly felt a little restless, and after thinking about it, he still sacrificed the long wind and went back to the post station where he lived yesterday.

But no matter how Liu Jingxun searched, there was not even a trace of that post station.

This is a clear provocation!
