Chapter 302: No Free Lunch
Niu Batian closed all the windows in Yan Fei's house and latched them, and then exited Yan Fei's room, and at the same time gently closed the door and hooked his fingers outside, and the latch inside was also on, although he had not been in Nandao County for too long, he finally had some understanding of the simple folk customs here, and it was better to sleep and lock it.
Except for some snoring sounds, the hallway of the inn was quiet.
Niu Batian looked at the room where Ji Yuan was in the distance, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't dare to go over now, but went back to his room, and soon there was a snoring sound with a hint of bull nose in the room, and he was really asleep.
Ji Yuan was lying on the bed in his room, his eyes not open, but his thoughts were flowing.
Looking at the behavior of this bull demon, in addition to the necessary foundation that the nature is not bad, it is estimated that there are two possible origins, one is that the demon has been taught by pure and good people at the beginning of his life, and the other is that if the cow becomes a sperm at the beginning, it will also have a certain impact.
In the early morning of the second day, Yan Fei woke up from the bed rubbing his slightly stinging head, looked around, and was a little dazed for a short while, and then remembered what happened last night, from chasing the murderer at night to encountering demons, and then to a meal of wine at night.
"Shhh...... How much did I drink last night......"
Yan Fei rubbed it while thinking about it to relieve the headache, although he didn't dare to say that he was massive, but he had never been drunk when he drank, and he was unconscious yesterday.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
The knock on the door was accompanied by the honest voice of the old cow.
"Brother Yan, are you awake? It's already dawn, and Mr. Ji will go out in a while. ”
"Wake up, I'll come out right away!"
As soon as he heard that Mr. Ji was going out, Yan Fei didn't dare to delay, adjusted his breath to mobilize his true qi to ease the feeling of hangover, and then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
I didn't take off my clothes last night, and after washing my face with the water in the basin in the room, Yan Fei hurriedly opened the door and went out.
As soon as I went out, I saw the natural Niu Batian waiting in the corridor of the inn room.
"Cow ...... Ox seniors early!"
Yan Fei respectfully bowed his hand, remembering that he called the other party "Brother Niu" when he was drunk yesterday, but now he can't open his mouth.
"Oh, Brother Yan, why is it so raw, the two of us almost chopped the chicken head and burned the yellow paper last night, it is better to call Brother Niu or Brother Niu, let's go downstairs and buy some meals and come back." ”
The two went downstairs together, and Ji Yuan was already sitting on a square table drinking porridge.
On the table was a simple pot of porridge and a few side dishes, plus some fluffy cakes.
"Mr. Ji is early!"
Yan Fei saluted Ji Yuan more respectfully.
"Morning, sit down and eat, after eating, I plan to leave Nandao County and continue north, I don't know what Yan Daxia's plans are?"
Yan Fei's face was dry when he heard this, if he could calmly accept the "Yan Daxia" in Mr. Ji's mouth yesterday, then today's three words sound particularly harsh, he knows that Mr. Ji will definitely not mean to be sarcastic, but he can't help but feel awkward, and it is not as good as Niu Batian's "Brother Yan".
However, this feeling is only a matter of a moment, and now it is more important that Mr. Ji is leaving, Yan Fei tried to ask after a little hesitation.
"Mr. Ji, where are you going, but what's the matter?"
"Not for the time being, it's just going north. ”
Yan Fei nodded and asked again.
"Then, if it's convenient, can Yan also accompany him for a while, Mr. rest assured, Yan is definitely not a person who doesn't know what to do, he just wants to accompany Mr. on a journey. ”
Ji Yuan looked at Niu Batian, who lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and then looked at Yan Fei.
"Yan Daxia, please sit down and drink porridge, you can follow if you want, and when Ji Mou finds it inconvenient, he will naturally tell you." ”
"Hey, yes, come on, Brother Yan, sit down and drink porridge, this porridge tastes good, come, Brother Niu, I'll give you a big bowl." ”
Niu Batian went to a bowl with great hospitality, stirred the casserole and gave Yan Fei a full bowl, and then put it in front of Yan Fei's place.
"Mr. Ji, is this small dish still appetizing? I made a special trip to find it!"
Ji Yuan looked at Niu Batian, and rarely smiled at him.
"It's good. ”
This laughing old cow's psychology is a little bottom, and he also picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of porridge before he said to Yan Fei.
"Brother Hey, Brother Yan, I can really talk to you, we just met, Brother Niu, I still have a lot to talk to you about, but now drink porridge first, let's talk on the road, talk on the road......"
Anyway, as long as Yan Fei follows Ji Yuan, Niu Batian will not worry about having no excuse to rely on.
While drinking porridge, Yan Fei accidentally found Ji Yuan reading a book, but he caught a glimpse of blank pages with no handwriting.
Niu Batian obviously also noticed Yan Fei's slightly puzzled expression, and moved his ass closer to him to explain in a whisper.
"If Lao Niu, I expected it to be good, Mr. Ji can see that it is the Tianqi Book in the Immortal Dao, which is a spiritual text that imitates the meaning of the immortal spirit, not to mention Brother Yan, even my Lao Niu can't see the handwriting, but there must be words on it, and it is unknown what the fairy Dao magic method is. ”
Yan Fei swallowed a mouthful of porridge, looked at Niu Batian and whispered.
"Even Niu, Brother Niu, you can't see it, Mr. Ji said that you are not shallow in cultivation......
"Hey Brother Yan, you don't understand this, I am a demon cultivator, and I am very different from an immortal cultivator, and my understanding of Dao Miao is much worse, and now in this state, I can also see the title of the book, of course, if it is the moment of cultivation, I should also be able to read it." ”
Ji Yuan glanced at Lao Niu Dao.
"It's not a fairy way, it's just a "Legend of the Outer Dao" with some interesting stories. ”
"Oooh oh ......"
Lao Niu nodded knowingly, while Yan Fei hurriedly asked.
"Brother Niu only knows "The Legend of the Outer Way"?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Niu shook his head very shamefully.
"I don't know......"
Ji Yuan couldn't help laughing, this old cow is really interesting.
However, Yan Fei frowned, seeing this wordless book, he suddenly remembered something in his mind, but it was not clear, and he thought for a while before he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
'Yes!'
"Mr. Ji, isn't this book very precious and magical?"
Ji Yuan looked at the book in his hand.
"Whether the book is precious or not, it depends on the content on it, but the book is more cumbersome, and the content will at least not be useless. ”
Well, in fact, "The Legend of the Outer Dao" is useless in the eyes of some people, but Ji Yuan feels that this is a good book, at least it is a very entertaining book among the immortal cultivators.
Yan Fei nodded, straightening out the thoughts in his head.
"Mr. Ji, I once heard about the Zhonghu Daowei family of Zuyue Kingdom, there is a wordless heavenly book, although it has been passed down in the family for many generations, but no one can see the words on it, and I have also invited many good friends in the rivers and lakes to observe and study, and I have also gained nothing......
Yan Fei pondered and continued.
"Before, I thought that the wordless book of heaven should be the hypothesis of the Wei family's own identity, and there were not many people who believed in the rivers and lakes, but at this moment, seeing the book in Mr. Ji's hand, Yan thought that the Wei family's book might also be true, Mr. is interested in taking a look?"
Wordless Book of Heaven?
Hearing Yan Fei say this, Ji Yuan was of course very interested, since it was passed down from generation to generation in this Wei family, there should be some reason, it may not be impossible to be the real Tianzheng book.
"Do you know where the Wei family is?"
Yan Fei waited for Ji Yuan to ask this sentence.
"Yan knows the approximate location, where is the specific one, and I can inquire clearly, and my Yan Fei is still famous in the Zhonghu Road of Zuyue Country, and it is not difficult to ask the Wei family to borrow books for a look!"
Yan Fei's heart relaxed a little, so that he could at least help Mr. Ji a little.
"Okay, that's the case, after eating, we'll leave for Zhonghu Road. ”
。。。
The land area of Zuyue is only more than half of Dazhen, and the country is divided into nine provinces, except for the difference in title, there is little difference between the state capital system and the state capital.
Nandao County is located at the junction of Namwon Road and Chaolu Road, while Zhonghu Road is just north of Jinglu Road.
Ordinary people want to go to Zhonghu Road, it is not appropriate to rely on a pair of legs, but Ji Yuan and the three of them are not ordinary people, not to mention Ji Yuan and Niu Batian, even Yan Fei rarely rode horses in the past, if it is not an excellent thousand miles of horses, with a martial artist of his kind, it is more practical to have light skills.
At the beginning of April of that year, the two of them and a demon spent about twenty days together to walk out of Chaolu Road and enter the boundary of Zhonghu Road.
During the march of the three of them, they have encountered roadblock robbers, and they have also encountered gangsters, lived in black shops, stayed in deserted villages, and spent the night in the wilderness is commonplace.
It is no wonder that Yan Fei came to the ancestral Yue country to sharpen his sword, at least judging from the situation during this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is chaos, even the Divine Way is very sluggish.
This process is also a process of deepening the mutual understanding between Ji Yuan and Niu Batian, this old cow was indeed a ploughing cow.
Ploughing cattle is often the most important property of a family, is the baby pimple, he has been carefully cared for, the old cow has been in the same family for three generations after the cultivation of three generations, and finally the family sold the old cow to others, so the old cow broke free of the cow rope after half a month and broke off the bullpen and left, into the deep mountains and old forests to practice by themselves.
It is precisely for this reason that Lao Niu is deeply influenced by the world, and it is essentially different from ordinary mountain monsters.
Of course, Lao Niu only told Ji Yuan about this matter in private, although he and Yan Fei were brothers, but this kind of cultivation was rarely told to the other party, unless Yan Fei really wanted to know and ask about it.
And Niu Batian is also convinced in his heart that Ji Yuan is the kind of Taoist true cultivation, and he really doesn't have much prejudice against demons, Lao Niu Lingtai is quite clear, this is a mysterious feeling, often unable to say it explicitly, but it is often the most effective.
On this night, when the moon and stars were scarce in the sky and the visibility on the ground was excellent, the three of them lit a bonfire and sat down by a forest to rest.
Niu Batian saw that Ji Yuan was still flipping through the book, and finally couldn't help it, and quietly approached him, but before he could speak, Ji Yuan spoke first.
"Something?"
Niu Batian rubbed his hands, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Uh-huh...... Mr. Ji, you said that there is a way to remove the evil method of the back of the old cow's neck, this ......"
Ji Yuan smiled in his heart, but his face was indifferent, and he raised his head to look at the bull demon.
"What's the matter, aren't you afraid that I'll take advantage of the opportunity to do you bad?"
"Oh, look at what you said, sir, if you want to be unfavorable to me, do you still need to wait for that time? Now you can't control me? This old cow doesn't believe it, I have also made up my mind, please help me!"
Ji Yuan nodded, thought for a while and asked.
"It's okay to help you get rid of the evil spell, so how do you repay me?"
"Huh?"
Lao Niu was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this question, and Mr. Ji had never mentioned it before.
