Perhaps because of his own being a monk, after Lu Xuan ate the ghost meat of the mountain, he didn't change much except that he felt a fire burning in his abdomen.

However, when he boiled the mountain ghost meat into meat soup and fed it to Lu Zhaozhao, her changes were very obvious.

The original old face not only lacked some wrinkles, but even the white hair on his head had a few green strands.

Seeing that the mountain ghost meat can indeed make up for Lu Zhaozhao's loss of Shouyuan, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

With their current state, it may be inconvenient to continue on their journey.

Therefore, Lu Xuan and the others stayed in the inn for more than a month.

During this period, Lu Zhaozhao's condition improved a lot, and the wrinkles on his face basically disappeared, but the white hair on his head had not changed.

It took almost ten days before Lu Zhaozhao woke up from his coma.

Lu Xuan helped her sit at the table in the wing, first inquired about her physical condition, and saw that it was fine, before he spoke: "Zhaozhao, let the immortals come out, I want to talk to them." ”

The immortal family from Xiangxi, if they are allowed to stay by their side, they are always a potential threat.

Although Lu Zhaozhao Shouyuan made up for it, he was still a little tired physically, and hissed: "Brother Lu, forget it, this matter has passed." ”

"And what if it is later?" Lu Xuan sighed: "If I encounter danger again in the future, will you still rely on them to save me?" ”

Lu Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and was silent.

"You know, I'm a madman right now." Speaking of this, Lu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'll die at some point, you don't have much ...... to save me like this."

Lu Zhaozhao made a timely move and interrupted Lu Xuan's words: "Brother Lu, after coming out of Langyuan Wonderland, I will treat you as a family, if you die, what is the point of me living?" ”

"But I'm like walking on a tightrope now, and if I'm not careful, I'll be doomed." Lu Xuan sighed: "You saved me, but you just buried your own life in vain, do you understand?" ”

"I don't understand, I just know that if you die, I won't live." Lu Zhaozhao's words were very calm, but his face was full of grievances.

It's true that she is a weak woman, but whatever she believes in, she will never change.

She identified Lu Xuan, and that was him.

"We are different, when we arrive in Fengyang City, even if the displacement between you and Ah Lai on the road is over, I still have a lot of things to do." Lu Xuan also wanted to continue to persuade Lu Zhaozhao not to be in danger for him in the future:

"When the time comes, you can find an honest person and live your life peacefully, as long as you are well, I will have nothing to worry about."

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Lu Xuan, was silent for a long time, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was choked: "Brother Lu, do you think that I am too old now, so you dislike me?" ”

Lu Zhaozhao had just woken up from a coma, and it was not clear that the mountain ghost meat had made up for her a little longevity.

Lu Xuan reluctantly told her this.

"Then can you not push me away again and again?" Lu Zhaozhao's voice was very soft, and there was even a hint of pleading.

Although Lu Xuan is unemployed, he is not a fool after all.

Lu Zhaozhao said this, he probably understood her intentions, but considering his current situation, he really had no way to promise anything, let alone follow her words, so he had to change the topic:

"You let the immortals come out first, and I'm going to have a good talk with them."

"They're not going to come out." Lu Zhaozhao shook his head: "The double-sided drum is just a bridge for me to communicate with them, if it weren't for their own willingness, no one would be able to find them." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.

When Lu Zhaozhao was unconscious, he tried to discard the double-sided drum, or smash it.

But no matter what, the next day, the double-sided drum will return to Lu Zhaozhao's side intact.

I thought I'd wait for her to wake up and then settle the matter.

Now it seems that it is not possible.

After all, I still know too little about monks.

In fact, in terms of combat power, Lu Xuan has the two major killing weapons of the black sword and the "Hidden Heart Sutra", as well as the "Seven Sufferings of Ordinary People" as the hole card.

When encountering ordinary monks, they are basically crushed.

But when it comes to some mysterious things, he is helpless.

For example, the immortal family in the double-sided drum, and his existence......

While he was thinking, the door of the wing room opened.

"Sister Zhaozhao, are you awake?"

It was Ah Lai who came back from outside, and seeing that Lu Zhaozhao's face was good, he hurriedly took the lotus leaf wrapped in his hand and put it on the table: "This is the lotus leaf chicken I bought from outside, you taste it, there are a lot of medicinal materials used in it, and it can be replenished." ”

Ah said that he broke off a piece of chicken leg and handed it over.

Lu Zhaozhao just woke up and couldn't eat the greasy stuff, just shook his head, Ah Lai had no choice but to nibble on himself, and while eating, he said vaguely: "Brother Lu, what you asked me to inquire about, I almost inquired about it." ”

During the time when Lu Zhaozhao was in a coma, Ah Lai was not idle.

As soon as the morning dawned, he went out to find out the news according to Lu Xuan's wishes.

"Tell me about it." Lu Xuan became interested.

"First of all, about the beggar, I asked other beggars in the city, and they all said that they had never seen that beggar who could tell fortunes, probably from somewhere else."

Lu Xuan nodded, he had asked Ah Lai before how he and Lu Zhaozhao found him.

Just listening to the description, Lu Xuan faintly had some guesses.

Now that I have received new information, I can almost confirm that the other party is the beggar I met in a poor country.

The person who knocked on the door in the middle of the night had a sour smell.

Maybe it's the same beggar.

For a while, Lu Xuan couldn't figure out the identity and purpose of the other party, but he firmly remembered such a person in his heart.

Ah Lai quickly gnawed the meat on the chicken leg and licked his fingers: "There is also the matter of worshipping the gods of the people of Suicheng. ”

"What gods do they worship?"

Compared with the unknown beggar, Lu Xuan's attention is now more focused on these so-called gods, they are now in Suicheng, and figuring out the folk customs here is the most important point to ensure their own safety.

Ah Lai shook his head: "The people of the Great Jin Dynasty don't sacrifice to the gods. ”

"Don't sacrifice to the gods?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised.

"I also wondered before, I remember when I was a child, my family would go to the City God Temple whenever there was anything big or small, that is, the kind of fairy temple that Brother Lu went to before, to worship the gods and incense." Ah Lai explained: "But I asked many people in a row, and they all said that they had stopped worshiping the gods for a long time, and now everyone worships the national teacher, and all the city god temples are vacant. ”

When I was in the county seat before, the little girl in the noodle restaurant said that the people of Dajin had long been ungodly.

At that time, Lu Xuan only thought that it was because of the continuous war, which caused the people at the border to respect the national teacher, so it would be like this, and after entering the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty, the situation might be different.

But now it seems that Dajin may really no longer worship any gods.

What kind of ability does this national teacher have?

Lu Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, in his cognition, the people of this world are all seeking the protection of the Immortal Buddha, and many of the crises they have encountered along the way are related to these so-called Immortal Buddhas.

But the people of the Great Jin Dynasty don't take the gods seriously anymore, is it because the strength of the national teacher is strong enough to fight against those unspeakable existences?

This conclusion is not good news for Lu Xuan.

"In addition to these things, is there any other news, such as in addition to the group of people from the True Spirit Sect, are there any other monks in Suicheng?"

"Nope." Ah Lai replied very simply: "I inquired very clearly, a long time ago, there was indeed a Taoist temple here, but since the National Teacher pacified the border pass, everyone no longer goes to the temple and these places, and everything is to find the real people of the True Spirit Sect." ”

Lu Xuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, sorting out some information in his mind.

"Brother Lu, I think everyone seems to believe in the True Spirit Sect." Ah came to look at Lu Xuan, and seeing that he looked as usual, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do we want to go to them and ask, is there a way to make your hysteria better." It's really not good, and it's a good thing to be able to help Zhaozhao. ”

"No way!" Lu Xuan refused very decisively, knowing that the True Spirit Sect was looking for him, how could he send it to the door:

"You remember, the True Spirit Cult is not what you see, although I don't know what kind of people they are, but they will never have good intentions towards the three of us, no matter what happens, try to avoid this group of people."

Ah Lai was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask the reason, he just needed to know that Lu Xuan would not harm them.

For the time being, the matter of the True Spirit Sect and the National Teacher was pressed to the bottom of his heart, and Lu Xuan turned to chat with A Lai about the folk customs of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After all, in this strange and rampant world, the customs of the local people are very much to avoid some dangers, so it can be regarded as a relatively useful information.

The two of them were talking, and Ah Lai suddenly patted his head: "By the way, Brother Lu, in addition to the New Year, our Dajin also has a festival called Walking God." ”

"Wandering God?"

"Well, on the third day of the lunar calendar, the big guy will choose a respected elder, sit on a wooden chair, and be carried around the city by the young man, and every household will open the door to greet him." Ah Lai thought about it for a moment and continued: "The elder who is chosen is called the wandering god, and he will choose a few blessed families and bless them, which is actually to sprinkle some water and the like. ”

Lu Xuan keenly asked the key to this matter: "Those people, what happened afterwards?" ”

"I don't know." Ah Lai explained: "I was still young at that time, I can't remember the specifics, otherwise I'll go downstairs and ask now, this custom is basically everywhere." ”

"No need."

Lu Xuan looked at the calendar hanging on the wall in the wing room, and now there were still more than ten days before the third day of the lunar calendar.

No matter what the custom of Alai's mouth is, he just needs to avoid it when the time comes.

I just hope that there will be less suffering in the future.
