Chapter 17 The post station is found to be uneven
The two of them walked out of the town and walked along the official road, Su Wuxian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old man Liu, do you know which direction Chongxu Mountain is? Are you going to walk over on your legs?"
Liu Jiang raised his hand and patted him on the back of the head: "You are as stupid as you, although I don't know how to go, but someone knows, you just follow." ”
Su Wufang rubbed his head, and raised his hand to fight back, Liu Jiang saw his intention at a glance and jumped away and shouted loudly: "I am an elder, respect the elders or not." ”
Su Wufang was held in the air by Liu Jiangyan's hand for a long time, and finally had no choice but to put it down. How old is this old liar, what is it to bully a child, he said that someone knows how to walk, is there another monk around here.
The two of them traveled very fast, but after a while, they came to the post station on the official road, there is a road connecting the town, the post station is generally set up by the imperial court, originally for the people who pass the war report in wartime, can transfer the practice and change horses to ensure the speed of the war report.
Later, after the war was not so frequent, the post station slowly began to receive passers-by and caravans, and it could also subsidize some personnel expenses, after all, the annual imperial court did not allocate much.
"Old man, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to find a caravan to go with, otherwise do you know how to go?"
Su Wuxian was a little confused for a moment, could this caravan still go to Chongxu Mountain? Probably to a nearby town, so that it could save some effort.
The two of them walked into the post station, and the layout here was also very simple, facing a huge courtyard, where many wagons and carriages were parked, and there were many strong men who were sorting out the goods.
Liu Jiang walked into the courtyard, raised his eyes, and saw a person sitting on the side, wiping the knife in his hand, and walked forward without hesitation.
As soon as Liu Jiang stood in front of the man, he pinched a Dao seal in his hand and saluted, and shouted in his mouth: "Daode Tianzun." ”
When the man heard Liu Jiang's voice, he raised his head and saw that it was the middle-aged Taoist chief, and immediately put down the knife in his hand and hugged his fist and saluted back: "Hello Taoist chief, I don't know what advice the chief has." ”
This man is a dart man in the rivers and lakes, the Taoist sect in the rivers and lakes has always been a martial arts faction, and when he meets a Taoist priest outside, these people in the rivers and lakes will respect a little bit.
Looking at this man's polite appearance, Su Wufang was still a little surprised, he had the impression that people in the martial arts should be the kind of people who would draw their swords against each other if they disagreed. Liu Jiang still thinks that the people in the rivers and lakes will come up and scold Liu Jiang first.
Liu Jiang pointed at Su Wuxian and said: "This brother is like this, this little brother and I are going to Chongxu Mountain, but we don't know the way, so we want to find a caravan to accompany us, I don't know if there is a caravan to Chongxu Mountain." ”
Liu Jiang did not shy away from saying the name of Chongxu Mountain, and Su Wuxian felt a sudden in his heart, so it was not good to say it.
looked at the man a little nervously, but the man's expression was as usual, and he muttered for a while and said: "I don't know very well about this, we are going to Yishui, and we are in the opposite direction from you, but I can help you ask." ”
Su Wuxian hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, big brother." ”
The man put away his knife, got up and walked to a few caravans on the side, some of them were people from the rivers and lakes, some of them were the caravan's own thugs, and some were hired to escort the caravan's dart bureau, if there was no special situation, there would be some communication between each other, and where to go This kind of thing is not a big secret, and you will generally know it after a little asking.
The man soon came back and said to Su Wufang: "I'm sorry, Dao Chief, I just asked if none of these caravans went to Kyoto, but there is a team of people in the small building who are going to Kyoto, but they are on the way with you." Even if they are not caravans, they don't know if they are willing to take people. You can go and ask if it's really okay, there is a person who goes to Jinyun and there is still a way to go, you can go with them. ”
Liu Jiang understood the news he wanted and thanked the man, and stuffed him with a piece of broken silver in his hand, he didn't expect that he would just help ask, and he could actually get a windfall.
After Liu Jiang gave the silver, he followed the direction of the man just now to the small building, Su Wufang knew that he was inexperienced, and he followed Liu Jiang quietly without speaking, and the two entered the small building together and saw a handyman come to ask: "This guest, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat something." ”
Liu Jiang smiled and rejected the handyman: "No, I'm here to look for someone, I don't know where the team going to Kyoto is now." ”
The handyman saw that the two of them were neither staying in the hotel nor eating, so he didn't care, so he casually pointed inside and went to himself again.
Su Wuxian looked in the direction pointed by the handyman, there were three tables of people eating, there were two tables of people about a dozen people, and the other table only had a young woman and a big man standing next to her, this woman obviously had an unusual status.
He could see at a glance the difference between the big man, who was powerful and powerful, and his blood was churning Pengbai.
After making up for that internal skill, Su Wufang could see that the great man had reached the highest level of innate realm that a martial artist in the world could achieve.
This innate realm is actually equivalent to the consummation stage of the late stage of refining, and the qi and blood of the body have been condensed to the peak, and the limit of refining has been reached, but there is no way to break through to the cultivation of qi. It is also unfair to say that because secular people do not have the method of refining the soul and absorbing spiritual energy, secular martial arts can only continue to refine their physical qi and blood, and take the path of physical cultivation.
Even in the same realm, it is stronger than many orthodox body cultivators, but it is inferior to the method of absorbing spiritual power, so it can't take that step to enter the stage of qi cultivation.
The group had already noticed the two of them when the handyman pointed to them, and many of them had some hostility in their eyes.
Liu Jiang patted Su Wufang's shoulder and said, "Go and ask, see if they are willing to take them for a ride." ”
"Why should you let me go, why don't you go yourself. ”
Liu Jiang pushed Su Wufang: "I didn't see that their faces were so ugly, Dao Ye has no interest in sticking a hot face to a cold ass." ”
Su Wufang was pushed forward by Liu Jiang for two steps, and it was not easy to push back, so he could only walk forward. Old liar, I don't want to go, so let me go with a hot face and a cold ass.
Su Wufang walked up to the woman and the big man with the strange eyes around him, saluted a few people, and said to Liu Jiang: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
The woman didn't have any reason, and the woman turned her face and snorted softly: "Demon Dao." Although it was extremely quiet, it was full of Su Wufang, who had a keen five senses.
Su Wufang frowned slightly, but he still couldn't help but continue: "I want to go to Chongxu Mountain this time, and I hope to go to Beijing along the way, I hope to go together, I have a companion on the way, and I can take care of you, of course I will give you some compensation." ”
The woman obviously heard Su Wufang's words, but she ignored him at all, and drank tea by herself. The big man next to the woman walked over and said to Su Wufang: "I'm sorry, we are a private team, so it's inconvenient to bring people." ”
Seeing that this was not easy to force, Su Wuxian nodded his head to show his understanding and turned around and prepared to leave, wanting to talk to Liu Jiang about finding the caravan that went to Jinyun to piggyback on himself, and then find another caravan to piggyback on him.
Returning to Liu Jiang's side and repeating the man's words, Liu Jiang nodded: "In that case, we can only look for the caravan that goes to Jinhua." ”
At this time, the handyman who had just accosted the two at the door came back from the back kitchen with wine and food, and passed by Su Wufang's side, which seemed to be for the woman just now.
When the miscellaneous servant passed by Su Wufang, he was wrong, although with the naked eye, there was no difference between this miscellaneous servant and the miscellaneous servant just now, but in his feeling, the aura of this miscellaneous servant was completely different from the miscellaneous servant just now, which was obviously two people.
Curious, Su Wufang swept at the miscellaneous servant with his divine thoughts, and sure enough, he saw the problem. This handyman uses musculoskeletal control methods and some makeup techniques to disguise himself as this handyman.
Liu Jiang's gaze also followed the miscellaneous servant all the way forward, smiled playfully, lowered his head and whispered to Su Wufang: "There will be a good show later, there is poison in that wine and food." ”
Hearing Liu Jiang's words, Su Wufang turned around and wanted to stop the handyman, although the young woman was not very good-tempered, but the crime was not to death, the big man was also quite polite, and the method of poisoning was indeed a little worse.
The big man saw that Su Wufang was about to leave and was about to sit down, but Su Wufang turned around and walked here again. This big man secretly raised a little vigilance in his heart, and his perennial walking in the rivers and lakes made his vigilance extremely high, and he was wary of Su Wufang. But he didn't notice that the handyman had already walked by, and he put the meal on the woman's table.
After only taking a step, Liu Jiang pulled his body back: "Boy, don't meddle in things, we can't protect ourselves now, and we shouldn't make more trouble." ”
The big man used his internal strength, staring at Liu Jiang and Su Wufang with his eyes, he had seen too many things that would kill people if he didn't agree with him for many years in the rivers and lakes, and asked cautiously: "This little brother, I don't know when it will be." ”
Su Wuxian crossed the big man and saw that the woman had already moved the chopsticks, so he said lightly: "If you don't want to die, don't eat those things." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the field changed their faces, especially the big man and the miscellaneous servant in front of him. The big man immediately realized that there was a sharp force under his feet, and tried to capture the handyman, but the woman in the handyman was so close that he had already controlled the woman with a dagger before the big man arrived.
Seeing that the handyman had put the dagger on the woman's neck, the big man could only stop in front of the handyman and look at the handyman across a table.
I saw that the handyman squirmed all over his skeletal muscles, and after making a crackling sound like looking for beans, he changed from a handyman to a somewhat delicate man.
The big man instantly recognized the man: "Thousand-faced Poison King, it turned out to be you, since you also worshiped the demon Dao's subordinates." ”
The Thousand-Faced Poison Monarch also laughed proudly at this time: "Haha, righteous Bo Yuntian Yang Qianchong, the great master of the dignified innate realm is so careless, you quickly abandon your martial arts, otherwise I will kill this chick." ”
The woman was in a hurry: "Uncle Yang, no, if you abolish your martial arts, this villain will be even more unscrupulous." ”
When the Thousand-Faced Poison King heard the woman's words, he punched the woman in the abdomen, and the woman bent down and retched on the spot.
Yang Qianchong subconsciously shouted: "Yi'er." ”
"Thousand-faced Poison King, do you know that what you are doing now is helping to abuse, that demon path is harming the court and bewitching the saint. You will be damned for doing so. ”
"Yang Qianchong, I followed the immortal chief, and in just one month, I have gone from a second-rate person in the rivers and lakes to a first-class player in the rivers and lakes. Damn it, huh. If I have a life to live, there is a curse, and if my life is gone, what am I afraid of, I have so many enemies, and now those people have become the souls of my hands, do you say that I am afraid of the curse. ”
Liu Jiang shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to do much but ended up getting into trouble, but this was also an opportunity, he lowered his head and whispered a few words in Su Wuxi's ear.
