Chapter 42: Strange Lack of Greed
The two rode out of the city, and they traveled lightly and quickly.
As soon as they left the city, they could see that two deep rut marks had been pressed on the road surface to the east, and they immediately chased after the rut marks.
It hadn't been a few miles before a figure approached from the other side of the road.
As soon as he saw Li Daoyuan's figure, he hurriedly opened his hands and stopped in front of the two.
"Who is it? Dare to stop in front of Lao Tzu and Ma, don't want to live? ”
Stone Forest ran at the front, and his horse jumped in fright, almost throwing him off.
The two could only appease the horses and get off them.
The angry Shi Lin drew the sword on his waist on the spot and was about to make a move, but he heard a voice from Li Daoyuan behind him:
"Wait! Eldest brother! Don't do it, this is the acquaintance I was talking about, Brother Zhou, don't come to harm. ”
At this time, Zhou Yu was dressed in gray linen clothes and a mask, and he was not wearing a blue Cloud and Rain Sect robe that pierced his eyes.
Otherwise, Shi Lin would not have shown his weapon to him so impulsively.
Zhou Yu also hurriedly stepped forward and replied:
"Lord... Brother Yuan, don't come unharmed, I brought what you wanted, right here. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out a palm-sized and square mirror from his arms.
"This mirror, the groove on the handle on the front is..."
Subsequently, Zhou Yu also taught Li Daoyuan how to use this mirror, and said it very carefully.
He even thoughtfully installed a low-grade spirit stone for the mirror in advance, which could last for an hour.
Li Daoyuan put this magic weapon close to him, this thing is nothing to Zhou Yu, but it is still of great use to him.
"Brother Zhou, how much money did you spend in total? I'll give it to you now. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, but he immediately disappeared again, how dare he ask Li Daoyuan for more, originally worth a total of one medium-grade and one low-grade thing.
In the end, he only dared to stretch out three fingers:
"It's not that expensive, it's just... Just use three low-grade spirit stones. ”
"I don't know, do you want silver?"
Li Daoyuan only has silver on his body now, and there are no spirit stones, and the atmosphere is a little embarrassing for a while.
Fortunately, Shi Lin stood up at this time, and the black light flashed in his hand, and there were four more low-grade spirit stones in good condition.
"That brother, I have a spirit stone here, you can get it."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he raised his head and took a serious look at the stone forest.
It didn't matter if he looked at it, as soon as he felt the invisible pressure on Shi Lin's body, he immediately put away his contemptuous eyes.
In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of his master, and his heart stopped beating a little, so he hurriedly sent a message to Li Daoyuan in his heart:
"Lord, you must be careful of this man next to you, he is very strong!"
Li Daoyuan also received Zhou Yu's news, and he felt a little funny, would he not know how strong Shilin was?
"Don't worry, I will be wary of him, you have taken the spirit stone, and there is a task for you, before you can return to the Yunyu Sect at the latest, you must pay attention to Zhao Ji's figure."
"As long as you see him, don't leave your hand, just give me a breath! I'm going to deal with him personally! ”
"Yes!"
After the two finished communicating, Zhou Yu took the spirit stone, a touch of pain flashed on his face, and he said in his heart, today's net loss of seven low-grade spirit stones.
Subsequently, he still had to follow Li Daoyuan's order and arrest Zhao Ji.
"Fourth brother, what a good means, I can actually get acquainted with the disciples of the Yunyu Sect, and my brother is looking away again, haha."
Shi Lin praised Li Daoyuan with a surprised expression.
"Where, where, compared to my big brother, these small methods of mine are just a big thing."
Li Daoyuan was a little embarrassed to compliment back, but in fact, his heart was already happy, which could be seen from his natural smile.
The two got back on their horses and followed the rut prints.
Although the speed of Fan Ma is not as fast as that of Xia Chasing Clouds, it is still many times faster than walking.
It's just that for Li Daoyuan, who is accustomed to chasing clouds and speed, the speed of Fanma is like changing from a motorcycle to a bicycle, and he feels a little uncomfortable no matter how he sits.
Fortunately, he has good adaptability and can still barely drive.
About an hour later, the sun had just set, and the heavens and the earth were suddenly darkened, and the cold wind of the night blew on them.
After running at high speed for an hour, they slowed down, and although the horses could run for hours without getting tired, it was a low-speed state.
If you continue to maintain high speed, horses are also animals, and they will die of exhaustion, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.
Then, at this slowing speed, Shi Lin looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the depth of the rut print, he pinched his fingers and judged:
"They set off in the morning and walked for most of the day, but the rut marks were getting deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that some of the people accompanying them would not be able to hold on, but because there were too many things on their carrying, the speed was not fast."
"At our current pace, we may be able to catch up with them in another half an hour."
Li Daoyuan nodded when he heard this, taking advantage of the time to take a breath now.
He suddenly wanted to see how well the honey candy in the field was growing.
The system seemed to hear his request and immediately popped up the panel:
Name: Wanjie Planting System
Planting point: 0
Farmland Level: Grade 1 Inferior (Activated)
Upgrade Condition: Harvest 2/3 of a plant
Consumes 400/1000 planting points
Plants: First-order plant honey candy / boutique / (30% in the growth stage) (absorbing)
At this moment, the phantom of the farmland also appeared in front of him.
The honey candy in the field has already sprouted rhizomes, but they are still green flower bones, and they have not yet borne fruit.
You can also see Xia Chasing Cloud dutifully patrolling around her home.
"At this rate, it may take a day or two to mature, alas, the house has not been repaired yet, and trouble has come to the door, why are all the bad things coming together?"
"After all these things are taken care of, I must get a good night's sleep!"
Li Daoyuan thought to himself, but suddenly he heard a wolf howl from the forest:
"Whew!! Whew-"
Shi Lin immediately whispered:
"This is really God's help, fourth brother, where the wolves are, they will definitely not let go of their group of fat meat who are basically defenseless, let's go!"
"Good! Frame!! ”
The two of them set up their horses and galloped away, but the two horses were pitifully tired, and they had just come out without eating anything good, so they ran desperately.
Twenty miles north of this place, in the open space that had been artificially cleared by the roadside, there were three horse-drawn carriages full of large iron boxes.
There were a few torches around the carriage, and dozens of men and maids sat around the carriage.
In one of the luxuriously decorated carriages, Zhao Ji's wife was lying, and she said with some complaint:
"You dog slaves, you walk slowly, it took you half a day to get to this Wolf Ridge, if you can't get to Yinjiao County tomorrow morning, I can't spare you."
"If I knew you were so useless, I would..."
The faces of the subordinates were bitter, and they wanted to ask a rhetorical question:
"If you hadn't had to pack such treasures, we'd be here long ago."
But no one dared to say anything, and suddenly there was a beastly cry far away:
"Whew-"
