In the blink of an eye, it was the winter moon, but the first snow had not yet been seen.

In the past ten days, the master and apprentice have been walking, and they have walked for five or six hundred miles.

Liu Jingxun has been waiting for someone to catch up, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

However, the further southeast you go, the more entrances there are. In the lower reaches of the Lingxi River, a 20,000-mile radius, a small country the size of a sesame mung bean and a population of about 10 million, there are many of them, and some of them are not visible on the map.

The aura of this vast land is extremely thin, which makes it that there are no big mountains nearby, only sporadic non-flow sects, and the Yuanying realm can be the ancestor of the mountain.

There is an unwritten rule for Qi Refiners, those who can be called top sects must have at least three or more ascending realms. For example, the top forces such as the Broken Mountain and the Longqiu Family, the monks who ascended the tower were all in the first place. The definition of a first-class sect is that there is a ascending realm. As for the second-rate sects, there must be at least one Void Cultivator, or at least three True Realms. There are also a lot of third-rate forces in the world, at least they have to be the opening of the iQue realm.

As for those who dare to start a sect in some places with the Yuanying realm or the Jindan realm, it can only be regarded as not entering the stream.

And Liu Jingxun found a very interesting thing, the more unpopular the sect, the more the thief named it.

Where the master and apprentice are now, there are two mountains nearby, one is called Creation Mountain, and the other is called the Burning Sky Sword Sect.

So far, there are no more than a few people in the world who dare to call any Sword Sect. This small hill actually dared to add the word burning sky in front of it.

Liu Jingxun is still dressed as a scholar and carries a cage on his back.

This road, together with the official roads of several countries, is not very crowded, and only occasionally there are caravans of horses and caravans.

This time it was still as usual, and he could only sleep in the wilderness, but he actually saw a ruined temple for Bai Xiaodou.

The little girl was extremely cautious, and quietly asked, "Master, can we go to this temple?" ”

Liu Jingxun shook his head and said softly: "You can go, but I'm afraid it won't be our turn." ”

As soon as Bai Xiaodou wanted to ask why, a carriage came in the distance.

The carriage drove straight to the broken temple, and before the two of them, the carriage stopped at the gate of the temple.

The middle-aged man driving the car said inside: "Two girls, it's night, the road is not easy to walk, let's rest in this temple tonight." Leave early tomorrow and arrive in Quzhou at noon.

Bai Xiaodou looked up at the master and muttered, "Obviously we saw it first, how did we give them the lead." ”

Liu Jingxun rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "You won't be cold, let's let them go, just rest here." ”

The two women who walked down from the carriage were both in the realm of Huang Ting, and they were probably fairies from the nearby mountain. But the coachman is just an ordinary martial artist, and he is far from opening mountains and rivers.

Liu Jingxuan only glanced at it and didn't turn his head, but it was the middle-aged coachman who kept paying attention to this side and was very vigilant.

The place where the broken temple and Liu Jingxun are located is only more than 100 steps, not far away.

By the time Liu Jingxun was busy lighting a fire, the little girl had already fallen asleep on the edge of the cage.

Liu Jingxun took out the wine jug and put it next to the fire, flipped through the book by the firelight, and took a sip of wine every once in a while.

Along the way, Liu Jingxun was reading a book, which was the second great unified dynasty in Middle-earth, and there was a book compiled by a royal relative and a family member, advocating Taoist learning, originally wanting to persuade the emperor at that time not to be reckless in military force, but to know how to live with the people, but people ignored it at all.

On the side of the ruined temple, the middle-aged man was leaning on the carriage and was also drinking. It's just that after a few sips, the flask bottoms out.

At first glance, he was a drunken putty, and the coachman looked at Liu Jingxuan at this time, but he didn't wake up.

In the second half of the night, the middle-aged coachman couldn't help it, got up and walked towards Liu Jingxun, but he was also carrying something in his hand, which was a packet of sauced beef that he took out from the carriage.

The coachman came with a smile, and when he saw that the little girl was already asleep, he lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Scholar, can I take a bag of meat in exchange for a pot of wine for you?" ”

Liu Jingxun looked up, closed the book, and said with a smile: "We don't eat meat, the wine is what I use to keep out the cold, and there is not much, if my brother is hungry, I can give you some even." ”

The coachman hurriedly took out his wine jug and said with a smile: "There are still some vegetarian foods on the car, I'll bring you some later." ”

Liu Jingxun lifted the wine jug and poured it over, and said with a smile: "No need, I still have some food, and I will be able to go to Quzhou City tomorrow." ”

The hand of the man was short, but the coachman still ran to the side of the carriage, took out a few oil cakes, and brought them over.

After coming and going, the coachman took the initiative to talk to Liu Jingxun.

"Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a local, right?"

Liu Jingxun nodded and said softly: "I am from the East China Sea, I have traveled to other places to study, and I have been out for many years, so it is time to go home and have a look." ”

The coachman glanced at Bai Xiaodou, and Liu Jingxuan said again: "This is the disciple I received." ”

Liu Jingxun took a sip of wine, looked at the carriage, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is?" ”

The coachman smiled: "I won't tell you, I will do some kung fu with my fists and feet, and I will do some guarding things within a radius of hundreds of miles, which is also a job." ”

After chatting for a long time, the coachman said that he could stare at it, and he received money from others, so how could he not protect him wholeheartedly?

The two women didn't know that they could transmit their voices, and at this distance, Liu Jingxun, who had the mental power of the fugue realm, couldn't hear it if he didn't want to.

The two of them actually wanted to see if they could pick up the leaks.

Looking at the slightly older woman, he said: "Our Vientiane Lake is not comparable to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, that kid in Quzhou City, we can try to get in touch with each other, and we can't quarrel with the two mountains." ”

Another woman muttered: "Senior sister, I think we went in vain, both the Creation Mountain and the Burning Sky Sword Sect have Yuanying Great Cultivators, how can we fight for others?" A genius who has a chance to get married, can we really fight? ”

The senior sister smiled and comforted: "Compared with the background, we are definitely not as good as others." But let's be sincere, the head said, if that person is willing to go to Vientiane Lake, we will definitely train him as the future head. ”

After a pause, she said again: "The boss brought us children who no one wanted back to Vientiane Lake, and pulled a handful of and urine, we must help do something!" ”

Liu Jingxun couldn't help but take a sip of wine, and said in his heart When did the Yuanying realm become a great monk?

It's just that listening to what these two women said, Vientiane Lake should be a good place.

However, there are many drizzly mountains nearby, and Liu Jingxun actually doesn't know where Vientiane Lake is.

It seems that there is a "genius" in Quzhou City who has the opportunity to marry Dan, and the nearby mountains want to take this "genius" under their doors.

At about the end of the day, the sky was still gray, and the carriage had already set off and headed east to Quzhou City.

Now it's late in the morning, it's dark early, and the little girl's copying is getting more and more square, so the number of copies is reduced every morning, leaving some time for her to practice boxing.

This exercise, which has been passed down in the world, is actually not considered a boxing method, but is used to reconcile yin and yang and strengthen muscles and bones in accordance with medical rituals. But this section of teaching Bai Xiaodou has a fist theory in it.

What I learned in Chi Dusk Peak back then, these eight styles are the most basic.

Bai Xiaodou rehearsed a few times, pouted and said, "Master, are you scolding me?" Can a soft one be called a boxing technique? ”

Liu Jingxun smiled slightly, led the little girl to the broken temple, raised her foot and stepped lightly on the stone steps, and there was a shoe print on the stone.

"When you can make a footprint on the stone, then you can learn to be hard."

The little girl sighed, and she gestured while walking, which was much more attentive than reading and recognizing.

On the way, I learned that the reason why Quzhou City gave this name is because a Lingxi River bends around a large circle, forming a semicircle to encircle Quzhou City, and the name comes from this. Moreover, this city is full of water on three sides, east, west and north, and you can only enter the city through the south gate.

The carriage was bumpy, but it was always much faster than walking.

Liu Jingxun took Bai Xiaodou, and when he saw Quzhou City, the sky was already dark, and the two of them couldn't rush into the city after all, they thought that they could only live overnight in the inn outside the city, but they saw that the city gate opened a crack that a person could pass through, and someone took the lead in walking up, handed over a broken silver, and swaggered into the city.

Liu Jingxun shook his head with a smile, but it still cost some broken silver before entering the door.

Such gatekeepers in the world, for such people who are in a hurry to enter the city, they will actually collect some "city gate tax". However, it is difficult to say whether the soldiers defending the city were greedy for these few taels of silver, or whether they deliberately "fished".

After coming in, I found that the inn was full, and I couldn't get out, and there was no place to stay.

Bai Xiaodou muttered: "It's better to be outside, there are too many people, and it's uncomfortable." ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled, pointed to a small stall, and said softly, "See that?" Stir-fried chestnuts, do you want to eat them? ”

Bai Xiaodou asked curiously, "What is fried chestnuts?" ”

The little girl hadn't heard of it at all.

Bai Xiaodou asked again, "Is it meat?" ”

Liu Jingxun shook his head, pulled the little girl over, and asked for a fried chestnut.

The chestnut seller is a young man in the fourteenth and fifth five-year years, dressed plainly, and sells small chestnuts.

There were at least five or six people watching, including the two women from last night.

However, the two sisters of Vientiane Lake are the lowest among these people.

Liu Jingxun probably took a look, what is the qualification of the young man, and now Liu Jingxun has no ability to see it, but he can more or less feel a little bit of luck lingering on his body.

The young man kept peeking at Liu Jingxun, and it took a long time to take out a few copper coins and hand them to Liu Jingxun.

Liu Jingxun smiled: "Do I have flowers on my face?" ”

The young man selling chestnuts smiled and said softly, "I just think this gentleman is like a scholar." ”

Liu Jingxun took the copper coin and said with a smile: "What do you mean by likeness?" It is. ”

After a pause, Liu Jingxuan asked, "Why did you come out to set up a stall alone?" What about family? ”

Before the young man could reply, Liu Jingxuan suddenly frowned and walked quickly to the alley not far away.

A group of ruffians punched and kicked a scruffy beggar huddled in a corner.

Liu Jingxuan walked over and shouted, and a ruffian came over with a big grin.

It wasn't until they were knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks that these ruffians scattered like birds and beasts.

Bai Xiaodou ran quickly, and shouted from afar: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Jingxun didn't say a word, just looked at the sloppy young man huddled in the corner with a gloomy face.

"What's going on? That's how you go? ”

The sloppy young man was obviously stunned, he slowly raised his head, his face was bloody, and he could vaguely see that one of his right arms was empty, and his sleeves were black and red stained with blood.

Zhao Changsheng raised his lips and trembled, but he still forced out a smile, and a mouthful of white teeth contrasted sharply with his face.

But when he opened his mouth, Zhao Changsheng choked up a little: "Brother Liu, I want to protect a well-hearted little elf, I'm sorry, I didn't protect it." ”

After saying a word, Zhao Changsheng passed out.
