Chapter 114: The Tea Shop Inquired
(First Issue, Then Change!)
The spring breeze is cold, the gate of the county seat has not yet been closed, an old soldier guarding the door and guarding against thieves is standing at the door tremblingly, he is looking at the dirt road outside the county seat, and he can't stop cursing "the cold spring" in his mouth.
Suddenly, the old man saw a figure appear in the distance, a guy riding a donkey, who was sitting on the donkey, and his body was staggering to this side.
Seeing that it was only a person, the old pawn leaned over, and immediately lowered his eyelids, not interested in taking another look.
The person who came on a donkey was Xu Dao.
He was wearing a gray robe that he had put on when he went down the mountain, and he had been running along the inhabited boundary for two or three days, passing by many villages.
Because the use of the Divine Armor equestrian technique will consume mana, when passing by the previous village, Xu Dao specially bought the donkey to sit down for riding.
For two or three days, he walked slowly, but fortunately he also found that there were no pursuers chasing him behind him.
Xu Dao secretly guessed that this should be the result of the Taoist priest in the White Bone Temple who was still digesting in retreat, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
As he guessed, except for the Daoists in the late stage of Qi refining, who would be left with soul lamps and paid special attention, the other disciples of the White Bone Temple were relatively free to interact and properly stocked.
However, according to Xu Dao's understanding, once a disciple in the temple "disappears" for more than half a year without reason, the temple will directly identify it as a "traitor", and issue a task to chase and kill, and send his disciples to investigate and hunt down.
Because of the various spell assistance, the completion rate of this kind of chase mission is quite high.
Fortunately, at present, there is a shortage of manpower in the White Bone Temple, even if Xu Dao is listed in the Taoist priests in the Guanzhong, unless the Taoist priests come to look for him in person, and wait for the liao to operate again, and free up manpower to investigate Xu Dao, it will be at least a year later.
And Xu Dao thought to himself that although he was remembered by the Taoist priests, according to the attitude of the Taoist priests towards the disciples of the White Bone Temple, he was not qualified to let the Taoist priest personally hunt him down.
After all, for the Daoists of the White Bone Temple, the status of Qi Refining Daoists is similar to eating, and the Daoists in the later stage may still be worthy of their personal efforts, while those in other realms are not worth it.
However, if Xu Dao stayed in the White Bone Temple for a few more days, and let the Taoist priest in the view realize that he would be able to enter the late stage of qi refining in a short period of time, the situation would definitely change.
This is also an important reason why he immediately decided to abandon the view after breaking the truth of the White Bone View.
Riding a donkey staggeringly, Xu Dao thought in his heart, and also saw the gate of the county town that appeared in his eyes.
He immediately gathered his thoughts and urged the donkey to the door.
"Dare to ask where there are the most people in the city and the most convenient way to inquire about the news?" Xu Dao rode on a donkey and leaned over to ask the old man at the door.
When the old man heard this, he just pricked up his ears and pointed to a two-story shop in the county without raising his head.
Xu Dao replied: "Thank you." ”
He threw two copper plates from his sleeve and threw them directly into the old pawn's arms, and then kicked the donkey and walked towards the county seat.
The guard noticed the copper plate in his arms, reached out and grabbed it, and suddenly realized that it was not so cold in early spring.
On the other side, Xu Daojing rushed in the direction pointed by the old man, and when he got closer, he found that there was a tea shop in front of him.
As soon as he arrived at the door, before he could greet him, Xiao Er immediately opened the bamboo curtain in the store and saw it.
Xu Dao said to the donkey, and the other party immediately came over and shouted: "Please be in the guest officer! There is a stable in the back." ”
Handing over the donkey to the other party, Xu Dao rushed directly into the tea shop with the cold wind.
When I walked into the room, I felt a hot breath and a noisy sound.
There are people knocking on teacups, knocking pipes, peeling off flower shells, moving tables and chairs, and the sound of tea shop customers sipping tea and chatting.
A burst of fireworks rushed into Xu Dao's ears and eyes, which really warmed his heart.
On a table in the middle of the tea shop, there was a storyteller who carried a piece of waking wood, smashed it, turned his mouth, and said:
"Three hundred years ago, there was a lord of the country who carried a dragon stick in his hand and knocked down 3,000 mountains, leveled the demons, and cleared the Wu realm. ”
"Today, there is a national teacher who participates in the Xuanwu Dao, and the magic power is incomparable, and the mountains and rivers are cleared, and the gods of the mountains and rivers are reshaped......"
Xu Dao heard the words in the storyteller's mouth, his eyebrows raised, he found a table by himself, sat down directly, and there was a sound of no match.
There weren't too many people in the teahouse, and there were a few pairs of eyes that glanced over, and Xu Dao didn't care much.
didn't wait long, Xiao Er just now hurriedly walked up to Xu Dao, made him a cup of hot tea, and said, "The guest officer's tip is still in the hotel, and there is a vacant room upstairs." ”
Xu Dao replied: "Hit the point." Pick up two of the store's signature dishes, and then don't go, I have something to ask. ”
"Okay!" Xiao Er nodded in response, first turned his head and called a few times towards the store, then took out a rag, wiped the table and said, "What do you have to ask, guest officer, just say! ”
Hearing this, Xu Dao couldn't help but nodded.
After descending from the White Bone Mountain, he walked southeast along the populated place, passing many village shops along the way, wondering if he could meet the convoy rushing to Shezhao's side.
But unfortunately, he didn't meet any of them, so he could only come to the nearest county town to inquire about the news.
Xu Dao spoke: "A certain family has something to rush to Shezhao's side, can there be a dart bureau escort in the city, or a convoy to accompany you?" ”
"Yo!" Xiao Er heard this, and the action of wiping the table paused, and he looked up and returned: "Yo! That place is a little far away, it is a remote mountainous area, and there are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the road. There are all kinds of strange things in the mountains, and I heard that there are monsters in the way!"
"I often hear people in the store say that there are often people from the mountains who come out and buy women to go back to the mountains to give birth, but few people go to that place. It's much more lively for us here, what are the guest officers doing? ”
Xiao Er said, his mouth changed sharply, and he said: "
