Chapter 5 The Old Horse Looks Like My Father

Although it has entered spring, but in Xixia Prefecture, it is still dark every day, and a carriage travels through the official road of the vast sea of grass, as the sky gets darker, the beautiful sea of grass is also dyed with a trace of gloomy taste.

Daoist Wu Chi and Wang Lin sat in the carriage, for a day, Wu Chi's mouth barely stopped, and Wang Lin basically had a certain understanding of this world, which made Wang Lin really feel the vastness of this world, so big that even if he entered the Heavenly Dao realm, it seemed that there was still no way to visit the whole world, and he was still bound by all kinds of Heavenly Dao rules and could not be truly free.

What makes Wang Lin very troubled now is that since the battle with Niu Zhen, his eyes have not been able to see the breath running in the human body, at least since he woke up and was next to him, Wu Chi Daoist, Wang Lin could not see the flow of qi in his body at all.

Daoist Wu Chi still didn't feel it and said: "Speaking of which, yes, yes, our Eastern Earth World not only has the three religions of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Buddhism, but also some beliefs that do not enter the stream, and we, the people of the three religions, call them all evil cults. The largest of the cults is the shaman cult located on the snow-capped mountains of the Northern Cold Realm Prefecture, a strange faith sect that has risen rapidly in the millennium after the bloody war of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. ”

"Do you say they are a cult because they are cruel and ruthless and wreak havoc on the world?" asked Wang Lin.

"Tsk, how can I say it, in fact, I haven't seen a few cult people, but since ancient times, people who have not cultivated our authentic three sects have not been treated well. Wu Chi replied awkwardly, and then preemptively continued," Continue to listen to me, although this Northern Cold Realm State is full of cults, but it is still relatively peaceful, and they have not invaded the frontier cities of the New Country for a long time, and in fact, they also help our Great New Country to resist the northern nomadic faith, during the previous invasion of Yilan, the northern nomads and the Yilan Empire reached an agreement to invade the territory of the New Kingdom of the Northern Cold Realm State, if it were not for the six Dharma Kings of the Shaman Cult to sacrifice their lives, they awakened a strange existence equivalent to the Heavenly Dao Realm, and they resisted the Heavenly Dao Realm of the Northern Nomads on the border of the Northern Cold Realm Realm The Great Immortal Heaven - Tengger。 Because of this incident, some civil servants in the imperial court even requested that the shaman cult should also be included in the state protector religion, but because some of their cultivation methods and methods were really not on the table, there was no result until now. ”

"I don't think the cult you're talking about is very evil. Wang Lin wondered.

"So if you are not deeply involved in the world, this Taoist master told you, everyone in the world says that you are a cultist, then you are a cult, and it doesn't matter whether you are or not. Wu Chimei was showing off the truth that she didn't know where she heard it.

Wang Lin frowned and whispered, "This is not right!"

Wu Chi was stunned by Wang Lin's words: "Right or wrong is none of your business, why are you so serious, don't think that if you defeat that road oil, you think it is amazing, you can solve all the injustices in the world, let me tell you that the road oil is just an outcast of my pure yang, in the early stage of a small mountain climbing realm, after being driven out of the master, I saw it, when I fought with you, I was basically not a monk, and it was a little stronger than a sturdy mortal." ”

Wang Lin joked softly: "But I'm only seventeen." ”

Wu Chi was choked by Wang Lin's joke and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, okay, the young genius is fine." He frowned again and looked at Wang Lin, "By the way, how did you know that after Lu You's knife seriously injured your shoulder, there would be a moment of ventilation? Could it be that you are my unlucky master's wild seed outside... Ahh Wild apprentice, secretly passed on to you the secret sword technique of our Pure Yang Palace?"

Looking at Wu Chi's face that was almost ready to fight with Wang Lin for the heir, Wang Lin looked at the wound on his shoulder that had fully recovered, and said with a wry smile: "How can I have such a good immortal fate, I can worship your master." ”

After looking at it for a while, Wu Chi exhaled, "Well, seeing that you don't have any cultivation foundation, I believe you, and when my master's guy comes back, I'll question him in person." ”

At the last moment before the dark, the carriage just walked out of the sea of grass, facing a city wall 100 feet high, as if it could pick up the stars, Wang Lin's more than ten years of life, he saw for the first time a huge city than the hills next to the town combined.

Broken Water City has arrived.

Probably because of the martial law in Xiyue, there was a group of soldiers patrolling the gate of Broken Water City to check the population entering the city.

Wang Lin and Wu Chi left the carriage, and after the soldiers' inspection and interrogation, the two entered the city. The scene inside and outside the city is very different, although it is late, but the people's nightlife seems to have just begun, there are all kinds of restaurants, song shops, people dressed on the street, and even the blonde and blue-eyed people of Yilan can be seen.

Wang Lin frowned: "What's the matter?"

"What else can it be, that's a merchant from Yilan, the second year after the end of the war, the two countries opened trade, Broken Water City is the last stop of the new domestic trade route, and it is not allowed to go inland, so all the Yilan people will bring freight to Broken Water City, and then the Daxin people of Duanshui City will buy goods and transport them to other states. Wu Chi said habitually.

"I see. Wang Lin nodded, and looked at the Yilan man seriously, afraid that this Yilan man would riot and hurt people.

"Don't look at people like that, it's not a big girl, what do you see, don't worry, these Yilan people are obedient, they abide by the law and discipline more than our locals, and we don't have to worry about them for our little people. Wu Chi said casually, "The most important thing for us now is to find an inn and give Uncle Ma a rest and eat grass." ”

"This old horse?" Wang Lin asked.

Wu Chi immediately criticized loudly: "What an old horse, it's called Uncle Ma! Let me tell you, Uncle Ma and I are more than my unlucky master." ”

The old horse, who had been following the two boys, snorted, as if in agreement.

"Wang Lin, let me tell you a secret, in fact, I am also an orphan like you, I was abandoned by my parents in the mountains and forests, and I happened to be discovered by Uncle Ma at that time and brought back to Chunyang Palace. Originally, the master was troublesome and didn't want to take me as an apprentice, so he asked Uncle Ma to throw me back from where I came from. was so angry that Uncle Ma kicked the master out of the way, and my master covered his ass and reluctantly accepted me as an apprentice. Over the years, the master has disappeared at every turn, and it was Uncle Ma who raised me with a handful of and urine, and Uncle Ma is like my own father. As he spoke, he looked back at Lao Ma deeply, and there were tears in his eyes, and what made Wang Lin even more stunned was that Lao Ma was also with tears in his eyes.

Wang Lin scratched his hair, feeling that the Taoist priest next to him was a strange person, and the old horse behind him was a strange horse.

"Wang Lin, let's go, my Uncle Ma is hungry. ”

The two of them joined a carriage and walked down the crowded street, looking for an inn.

Wang Lin and Wu Chi walked around the street for a while, "Let's go there." Wu Chi pointed to a luxurious inn carved with jade, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment For a young man who has never left the town, the most gorgeous building is the town guard house before the war, after the war, almost every house is very dilapidated, and the court has not sent new officials, so he was stunned by the gorgeous inn in front of him at a glance.

Wu Chi shook his hand in front of Wang Lin, "Don't be stunned, let's go, let's go"

Walking into the inn, a smiling shopkeeper walked up, "Two guest officers live in the hotel?"

Wu Chi nodded and responded, "How much?"

"Ten taels of silver for a night, don't think it's expensive, our service is quite good in the water cut-off, eight years ago, our Generalissimo Cao came to stay overnight." And our service also includes a dedicated guy to help you wash your clothes and groom your horses free of charge. ”

Wu Chi took off his shoes, took out a crumpled silver ticket worth five taels from his shoes, handed it to Xiao Er distressedly, and said, "Open a first-class ...... Stables, we don't live in the store. ”

Xiao Er's smile froze on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he stood motionless in place, and it took a long time to recover and force a smile: "That, okay, wait a minute, the little one will go... Open a good stable. ”

Not only Xiao Er was stunned in place, but Wang Lin was also stunned in place.

Wu Chi turned his head to look at Wang Lin: "I said big brother, what do you want, I won't tell you everything, I put my coffin on the matter of buying you, where is there any spare money to live in the guest room, and go out to work with me at night in a while." ”

"Work?" asked Wang Lin puzzled.

"Before I arrived in your town, Master and I passed by a water-cut city first, and found that there was a large family in the city that was not clean, and we originally planned to help that family eliminate the dirty things with the idea of balancing yin and yang and saving the world, and earn a little money to spend by the way, but then the master found that the unclean things were not ordinary, and they were a little tricky and difficult to do. Wu Chi explained.

"Unclean things? You mean demons and monsters? Does that thing really exist?" asked Wang Lin suspiciously.

"There are no wonders in the world, and that family is a ghost, and I don't know what tragic circumstances I encountered in my life. But it doesn't matter, anyone who doesn't reincarnate after death and chooses to turn into a ghost, nine out of ten are wronged, and you can't control it. Wu Chi said.

"Then what will you do when you catch them?" Wang Lin asked again.

"If you have the ability to catch it, it is generally either to break it up or help to take it into custody, mainly depending on the size of the ghost's sin. ”

Wang Lin smiled evilly: "Then you didn't catch it before because you might not be able to beat it, so you didn't do it, right?"

Wu Chi's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Wang Lin, you're wrong!

Wang Lin shook his head and asked, "Then we're going to get rid of that dirty thing in a while?" Didn't you say that it was difficult, and now that your master is not here, can we do it?"

Wu Chi said with a bitter face: "If you don't succeed, you have to succeed, the five taels just now are my last family, if I don't earn this money tonight, I haven't returned to your town, we will starve to death, do you want to beg." If you have money, take it out quickly, and we won't have to do it. ”

"I am an orphan in a small town, and I rely on the villagers for food and clothing, and I have no money at all. Wang Lin also smiled bitterly.

"That's over, neither of us will want to sleep tonight. Wu Chi squatted on the ground and held his head in his hands.

"You saved me, I don't know how to repay you yet, I will definitely help you with this favor. ”

Wu Chi had a bitter face, sighed slightly, and thought: When the time comes, just don't make trouble for me.
