Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 11 The Official Road Meets a Scholar
On the third day of Chen Sheng's departure, Li Fuyao packed up his things and closed the door of his small courtyard.
Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Li Fuyao, who was carrying a large bag of things, laughed in a low voice: "Maybe you won't be able to come back later, in the past, I always felt that this Baiyu Town was really a little small, and it wouldn't take long to walk around the town, but now I am still a little reluctant." ”
Qinghuai was empty-handed, ignoring him, just clasping his hands in front of his chest, looking at the small courtyard slightly.
The two of them walked out of the town for half an hour, and they were about to walk out of the town, and Li Fuyao finally turned his head to take a good look at the town in the morning light before turning around.
There is an official road outside Baiyu Town, which is the only road leading to the outside, so this time it appeared, and this road was also chosen, Jianshan is at the border junction of Yanling and Dayu, and this place is just north of Dazhou, so this trip, Li Fuyao's good route is to go north to the border of Dazhou, and then enter the territory of Yanling, and then turn to the east, straight to the Jianshan, and to the border of Dayu and Yanling, Qinghuai has to pass through Dayu to go to Liangxi.
Before, for that Taoist species, Li Fuyao only knew some subtleties in Qinghuai's words, and later Chen Sheng specifically mentioned that Taoist species, and said more, Li Fuyao firmly remembered a lot, Qinghuai is a demon outside the mountains and rivers after all, and it is not as good as Chen Sheng's understanding of this mountain and river.
But the more he knew about that Dao species, the more Li Fuyao felt that the woman was really a demon, and naturally he was a little worried about what Qinghuai said about going to challenge her, but he also knew that Qinghuai didn't want to hear this, and Li Fuyao wisely didn't mention it.
Far away from Whitefish Town, I saw some different scenery, not only the tea and wine shops that can be seen once next to the official road a few miles apart, but also many other new faces that I have never seen.
During this period, the two of them even saw a small group of horsemen galloping on the official road, Li Fuyao was not surprised by this, but Qinghuai was a little curious.
Li Fuyao, who was walking beside Qinghuai with a package on his back, said softly: "Our Great Zhou Emperor, although he is sitting on such a small place as the Great Zhou, his ambition is not small at all, he has launched a lot of wars over the years, I heard that the surrounding Lu State, the territory has been occupied by the Great Zhou, maybe this year, the Lu State will be completely destroyed." I really don't know, if this Great Zhou Emperor becomes the emperor of Yanling, will he launch a war to conquer Dayu and Liangxi. ”
Qinghuai shook his head and said calmly: "Small countries are fighting, it is nothing more than using human lives to come and pile up the victory, Yanling and Liangxi have their own Confucianism and Taoism behind them, this is really to fight, it is to fight for the victory or defeat of the monks of the two religions, if one side completely shows its inferiority, it is difficult to guarantee that the saints in the two religions will not make a move, and when the saints fight, who knows what will happen." ”
Li Fuyao didn't speak, but remembered what Chen Sheng said before, saying that the mountains and rivers that have not become immortals for 6,000 years are probably related to the fact that the mountains and rivers have been broken.
Qinghuai stopped talking about this topic, and instead asked, "You are not from Zhou, why do you say that our Great Zhou Emperor?"
Li Fuyao spread his hands and said he didn't know.
Qinghuai stopped talking, just continued to hurry.
The two walked along the official road, during which they walked through a small town, and they only asked Li Fuyao to buy some dry food, and they never entered the town.
Far away from the town, Li Fuyao cautiously asked, "Are there really mountain spirits and wild monsters?"
Qinghuai hugged his hand to his chest as always, and said calmly: "There are no mountain spirits and wild monsters, but you should know that in addition to mountain spirits and wild monsters, there are also lonely souls and wild ghosts in this mountain and river." ”
Li Fuyao has been born in Baiyu Town for many years, and he has made a living by telling stories, and he doesn't know how many times he has told the stories of female ghosts hooking up with scholars, so he is naturally very familiar with them, but he only knew that there were demons in these mountains and rivers, but he never felt that there were really ghosts.
Qinghuai patiently explained: "How can the demon cultivator say that he is also a monk, and he can go to the end on that road, but these lonely souls and wild ghosts are not monks, but because people are obsessed with it for some reasons after death, and they do not dissipate in time in the mountains and rivers. ”
Li Fuyao frowned, "Do you want us to go and have a look?"
Qinghuai said expressionlessly: "Yes, anyway, I can only walk with you for two months at most, and after two months, I will go to Liangxi at full speed, if you are not worried about whether you can go to Jianshan, it will be okay to go and see." ”
Hearing Qinghuai's words, Li Fuyao quickly said firmly: "It's important to continue on the road." ”
In this regard, the corners of Qinghuai's mouth were only slightly upturned.
......
......
continued to hurry, but in fact, it was only half a day away, Li Fuyao met a young scholar dressed in shabby clothes on the side of a relatively remote official road, but this scholar seemed a little nondescript, holding a book and forgetting it, and even carrying a firewood knife behind him.
When he saw Li Fuyao and Qinghuai, this delicate-looking and slender young scholar was resting on a big bluestone, and when he saw Li Fuyao coming, the scholar stood up and stopped in front of Li Fuyao.
At this moment, Li Fuyao was a little surprised, and he felt that this was also a good man in the green forest who specialized in robbery?
It's just that soon, the scholar solemnly saluted Li Fuyao and asked, "This son, do you know how far Zhuyu Town is from here?"
Hearing the three words of Zhuyu Town, Li Fuyao frowned unconsciously, if nothing else, that Zhuyu Town is the unclean town that Qinghuai said before.
Li Fuyao was silent for a moment and asked, "What is Gongzi going to Zhuyu Town for?"
The young scholar heard Li Fuyao's question, and soon a smile appeared on his face, "So, Childe must know where Zhuyu Town is, can Childe lead me with him?"
Li Fuyao didn't speak, just looked at him.
The scholar remembered Li Fuyao's question before, so he quickly straightened up and said seriously: "Don't hide it, this trip to Zhuyu Town is not for anything else, but to rob relatives!"
Li Fu pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at the firewood knife that the young scholar was carrying behind him, and asked with some uncertainty: "Childe is going to rob his relatives?"
