Volume 1, The King's Decree Chapter 43, The Strange Master and Apprentice

The crane landed on the side of the trail outside the mountain, put Liu Xiaoyi steady, and did not forget to look back twice before leaving, so that Liu Xiaoyi was amazed, such a spiritual animal, it was the first time in his life to see it.

Everything that happened a few days ago was like a dream, looking down at the neatly dressed Taoist robe, Liu Xiaoyi smiled dumbly, this little Taoist priest's outfit still fits him a little.

Walking along this trail, there is a clear river flowing downstream, without horses, it is not easy to cross the river, so he walks on the shore with a deep foot and a shallow foot, Liu Xiaoyi is a little stunned in his heart.

didn't wait for himself to savor the rivers and lakes, he fell into a cliff and his life was difficult to protect, but fortunately he met that strange Taoist to save a life, could it be that he really had some luck?

In the flat area with the river, there is no shortage of villages, and busy villagers stare sideways when they see such a strangely dressed teenager in the fields.

Someone else asked in a loud voice, "Chief, are you going to pray for rain?"

Where did Liu Xiaoyi understand this, he just nodded, he didn't even have a decent map in his hand, he only knew that there was nothing wrong with the direction of the Heavenly King Road.

The further you go inside, the more pedestrians with weapons there are, although the Iron Dynasty has some prohibitions on carrying weapons that hurt people in residential areas, but in some big cities, there are not so many rules in the backwoods.

Even so, his dress is still very conspicuous, and the big men with fierce faces avoid him, and everyone knows that there is no one to mess with.

I wanted to ask for directions several times in a row, but I was waved my hand to avoid it, which made Liu Xiaoyi a little depressed, and when I entered the city, I must go to change my clothes first.

Just as he was thinking about it, an exclamation came from the road ahead: "Let me go! When my master comes, I will definitely give you money!"

It turned out to be a roadside stall, selling wontons, and the store pulled a girl of the same age as herself, "The girl's family eats overlord meals, I still see it for the first time, your cheap master, someone has already watched him run away from the back alley, or if you don't settle the bill, tell me to go to see the official!"

The stalls that sell rice are all small businesses, and this wonton is basically three bowls to earn a bowl of profit, and if you meet a person who eats white food, he will earn half less in the morning.

"Then when I earn the money, I will come and pay you back, and I will never deceive anyone!" When the girl heard that the master had run away, she was even more angry, shaking her arms back and forth to try to break free.

Liu Xiaoyi took two steps to his side, held the arms on both sides with both hands, and separated the two with one force.

"Shopkeeper, how much money she owes, I give. ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and when he saw that there was someone who paid the money, he politely said, "One hundred and twenty wen." ”

"One hundred and twenty Wen, how much is a bowl of wontons?" This time it was Liu Xiaoyi's turn to be surprised.

"A bowl of wontons is fifteen wen, and she also ate three fires, I have never seen such a girl who can eat it, hum. The shopkeeper took the scattered silver, his face softened slightly, and Liu Xiaoyi happened to have no food, so he simply sat down.

With such a generous diner, the restaurant is naturally willing to receive it, but when he saw the girl sitting down together, he was a little unhappy: "Xiaodao Chief, I didn't say, try to stay away from this kind of person, if you don't come today, I will definitely take her to see the official." ”

The girl still wanted to argue, but was held down by Liu Xiaoyi, "Why don't you leave?

"Since you helped me, will you help me again?" The girl covered her stomach, looking like she was not full, and her big eyes blinked and moved.

After the three bowls of wontons were served, she wiped her mouth and stood up with a full burp, "Little Taoist, I have made a friend of yours Meng Qiaoqiao, take you to the rain festival to have fun!"

The name of this place is Eighteen Miles, and the river is called Qingshui River, and it is said that it is eighteen miles along the river retrograde, and you can see where the water source is, so it is named.

The most famous is the annual rain festival, offering cattle, sheep and livestock, in exchange for the continuous flow of the river, the people of the nearby ten miles and eight towns will come here to watch, and hold a grand market by the way.

The rain festival lasts for half a month, and is presided over by a respected local lord, making it a rare rural event.

Following the girl who jumped out of the way, walking on the not spacious street, Meng Qiaoqiao, who was wearing a light green gauze skirt, was really eye-catching, coupled with the strange combination of Taoist priests, there were soon several groups of chivalrous guests who came to talk.

With the rain prayer festival held together, there is also a local rich family to play a martial arts conference, which attracted a lot of knights, but most of them are not in the stream, come to beg for food, and if you behave well, you can be selected to be a guest of everyone, and you can worry about food and clothing.

"Miss Meng Qiaoqiao, I want to ask where the Heavenly King Road is going, I'm not here to participate in some rain prayer sacrifice. Liu Xiaoyi was a little anxious, and the heat emitted by the golden dragon soul in his body reminded him to hurry up and find the fire seal.

"It's the problem of the scattered soul in your body, my master can solve it, and I'll take you to him. Meng Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand and took his arm and ran to the river, where the Dharma platform had already been set up, and there was an old man with a bull's nose who drank tea and rested here.

The rain prayer festival started early, and while the old man was napping, Meng Qiaoqiao jumped to his side and kicked on the bamboo chair.

Lao Dao was kicked off the bamboo chair and fell to the ground on his back, and he was about to whisk the dust with an oops, but was pulled up by Meng Qiaoqiao's ears: "Master, you didn't give money for the old man's dinner, let the apprentice go to the squatting room?"

Lao Dao begged for mercy: "I calculated that there was an urgent matter, and there were nobles meeting at the altar, and the time was about ......" looked around the crowd as he spoke, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Xiaoyi.

"It's him, do you remember the person who counted for the teacher on the way here, it's him. Saying that, the master and apprentice burst into tears, leaving Liu Xiaoyi standing here in confusion.

Although it is not yet time for the rain festival to begin, there are already a lot of people here who come and go to carry sacrificial supplies, set up viewing platforms, and maintain law and order here.

The master and apprentice muttered for a long time, and then Lao Dao came to Liu Xiaoyi: "The soul is scattered, but the person is standing here in a good manner, it's really a strange thing, where do you learn from? How can you use this method of condensing the soul and gathering the soul?"

Lao Dao mistakenly thought that he was a fellow Taoist priest, so he asked like this, and when he looked at him, a different color flashed in his pupils, and Liu Xiaoyi instantly felt cold and covered his chest.

"Strange things, strange things, coincidental things, I really can't manage this matter as a teacher, I have to go to the Heavenly King Road and find the fire seal. ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Xiaoyi's whole body suddenly tensed, and he almost drew his sword.

"But don't worry, wait for this matter, let Xiao Guo, who is the king of the day, take you back to the king road directly, and it can be regarded as inheriting the favor of the little brother. The master and apprentice blinked, what they were discussing was how to fool the breakfast money, the master had an iron rooster, and the apprentice he taught was also a small money fan.
