"Big brother, excuse me. May I ask this Tangjia Town, is it going this way, right?"

On the side of a small road, Mo Jue stopped a passer-by and asked. The passer-by carried a hoe and looked at Mo Jue before saying.

"Little brother is polite, but this is Tangjia Town. Indeed, I do not know. But you go down the road, and it won't be long before there's a post station. There are mostly merchants who travel from south to north. I think someone knows. ”

"Thank you, big brother. ”

After thanking the passers-by, Mo Jue walked along the path for a while. Sure enough, a small post station came into view. Walking in, sure enough, many cars and horses stopped here. Walking through the door, several tea tables were full of people. Some of them are boasting about how many places they've been. It's not lively. But there was a table where only a young man in a fancy costume sat quietly, taking a sip of tea from time to time. Mo Jue's eyes lit up, this young man in gorgeous clothes was the person in charge at a glance, and he wanted to know more than those family members.

Mo Jue stepped forward, sat down opposite the young man, and arched his hand at the young man and asked, "This boy is polite, I want to ask, does the boy know how far away is that Tangjia Town?"

"Huh?"

The boy was suddenly questioned, and seemed startled. Seeing Mo Jue's slightly weird bow, he smiled and replied, "I was thinking about things just now, I didn't see you coming, please forgive me." You and I are the same age, so why should we care about these false courtesies? My name is Qi Zheng, and I haven't asked my son's name? There are many places in the world called Tangjiazhen, I don't know which one you are asking?"

Mo Jue withdrew his hand awkwardly and smiled embarrassedly: "My name is Mo Jue, and what I am looking for is Tangjia Town, which is located in the southeast." If Brother Qi knows, please tell me, I am grateful. ”

Hearing this, Qi Zheng looked at Mo Jue in surprise: "Brother Mo Jue, but are you going to look for immortals? ”

"Brother Qi also believes in the words of the immortals?"

Hearing Qi Zheng say this, Mo Jue couldn't help but say loudly. Unexpectedly, the other people in the post station listened to it truthfully, and after a short silence, some people seemed to be unable to hold back and began to laugh. In the end, it turned into laughter. One of them even laughed and said to Mo Jue:

"Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death. This kid doesn't know the height of the sky, and he still wants to cultivate that immortality? As everyone knows, only a few people among the ten thousand people have this qualification..."

For a moment, Mo Jue was embarrassed. Qi Zheng on the side also chuckled a few times and said, "I didn't expect Brother Mo to be so interesting, if you walk with me, there will be a lot of fun on the road." ”

A few hours later, an official road was on. A convoy of carriages was slowly moving, and Mo Jue was sitting on one of them. The inside of the carriage was covered with a thick quilt, and I couldn't feel the slightest bump. It turned out that Qi Zheng, who met at the post station, invited Mo Jue to accompany him, and Mo Jue agreed after thinking about it.

"That said, it was a dangerous night. ”

Qi Zheng also sat aside, and just now Mo Jue told him about the Tiger Demon that night, so he said so. In a few hours, Mo Jue also understood. It turns out that there are immortals in the world, and even some peddlers and pawns know about it in those big cities. This Qi Zheng is also the same as himself, going to Tangjia Town to seek immortals.

"The hateful thing is that when I first went out, I met an old Taoist priest. It made a big black mark on my sleeve, and I couldn't wash it off. I gave him dry food for several days, and the old Taoist priest was fine, gave me a jade pendant full of cracks, and fooled him. ”

Mo Jue said hatefully, obviously still thinking about the old Taoist priest pit him for dry food. Qi Zheng also saw that the white sleeves were good, and the darkness was extremely conspicuous. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and I was about to say something. There was a commotion outside. The carriage also stopped. After a while, a family member ran forward to report: "Son, there is a person blocking the road in the middle of the road ahead." There are still some obstacles on the road, and it is impossible to pass for a while. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing? Mo Jue, let's go and see?"

After Qi Zheng finished speaking, he opened the curtain and went out, and Mo Jue followed closely behind. When I got out of the carriage, I saw a few thick trees lying across the road. A black-clad boy stood on it, holding a broken woodcutter in his hand. Several housekeepers were confronting the boy with long sticks in their hands. The two of them stepped forward, just about to ask each other about the matter. The young man spoke first:

"Are you in charge, leave your rations, and I'll let you go." ”

That being said, a closer look reveals it. The young man's expression was very panicked, and the hand holding the woodcutter trembled slightly. It was obviously the first time I had done this, and the steward seemed to see it. waved his hand at several family members, and the tall and strong family members got the order, and they stepped forward step by step.

"Slow, have something to say!"

A loud shout interrupted everyone's eyes to look behind them, and they found that it was Mo Jue's voice. Qi Zheng also looked at Mo Jue in surprise. The latter said to Qi Zheng: "More things are better than less, I see that the young man is not a wicked person." It's okay to help him. ”

"I... I... I just need a day's ration... Not more... to save lives..."

At this time, the boy also spoke. It's just that the tone between the words is somewhat insufficient. The body trembled even more, and the last sentence even had a crying voice. As he spoke, he glanced at a nearby mountain forest from time to time. Mo Jue hesitated for a while and then said to Qi Zheng: "Since Brother Qi Zheng doesn't want it, there is still dry food in my package." The boy didn't seem to be a deceitful man, so I followed him to see it. When the boy leaves, you can continue on your way. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qi Zheng to answer. turned around and went back to the carriage to retrieve his small package, and raised it to the young man: "I have some dry food, follow you to save people, do you think it's okay?"

The young man looked at Mo Jue, and after a long time, he hesitated: "Okay... You come with me. ”

Then he walked towards the mountains and forests, and Mo Jue looked back apologetically at Qi Zheng, and followed. Seeing the two of them walking into the forest, the steward stepped forward and said to Qi Zheng: "My lord, look at this..."

Qi Zheng smiled slightly: "Now I have become a wicked person, you stay here, I will follow and take a look." ”

With that, he walked into the mountains and forests. The steward didn't seem to be at ease: "My lord, send two people to protect you." If something happens to you..."

"Huh?"

Before the steward finished speaking, Qi Zheng turned around and looked at him coldly. The steward's voice stopped abruptly, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he replied, "Yes..."

Qi Zheng looked at the direction in which Mo Jue had left, and muttered, "It's an interesting person, but it's not anything extraordinary." It's a pity, if it weren't... I really want to make you a friend. ”

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. When the steward behind him heard this, he was shocked: "My lord, do you want it?"

As he spoke, he also made a motion to wipe his neck with his hands. Qi Zheng shook his head silently: "It's not time yet, he still has use value." After speaking, Qi Zheng followed the traces left by Mo Jue and the two of them. The steward stood respectfully in place, just looking at the mountains and forests with cold eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. The conversation between the two just now, the rest of the family members listened to it very well. However, it seems that I heard a normal conversation, and there was no reaction. It's like getting used to it.
