Five people from the Panlong Academy climbed the mountain, but when they went down the mountain, they became six people, and the sloppy man said that he would follow along, shouting that he was really lost and afraid.

Zhong Li and Zhao Xifeng knew that this man who claimed to be Cao Xiaojian was lying, and he had been walking in the mountains since ancient times, only to get lost halfway up the mountain or under the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, the appearance of the man talking and laughing freely in a single suit in the wind and snow is not something that ordinary people can do, so it seems that there are only two possibilities, one is that this person is a master sent by the Supervision Department, and he is waiting for an opportunity on the road they must pass, and the other is that the mountain master met by chance, and he became interested in a few students who traveled far away, and deliberately teased.

No matter which one it is, a few people in the Panlong Academy are not afraid, Zhong Li grew up in the best place in the world since he was a child, what kind of master has not seen it? And the four people in the school are newborn calves, this trip is eager to meet a few cultivators, or make friends, or fight, you know, Dong Erfat and a few people have always longed for Zhao Xifeng to participate in the battle of the sea of clouds.

On the way down the mountain, because Cao Xiaojian was too dirty, Zhong Li did not allow him to get into the car, and he didn't care, dangling the broken sword on his waist, and chatting with Dong Erpang, who was pulling the car on duty, although Dong Erpang was straighter, but not stupid, he had already seen that there was something wrong with this person, so he joked and joked, and never revealed the identities of several people and the purpose of this trip.

The sloppy man didn't show surprise when he saw Dong Erfat pulling the car, but when he really had nothing to talk about, he would lie on the roof of the car and look at the clouds in the sky, stunned.

After the car went out of Mengshan, all the way was a plain and smooth road, and the speed of several people was much faster than before, for the four people who had been accustomed to pulling the car in the loess mountains in the northwest, the burden was also reduced a lot, and even Sun Wenzhen, the only one who did not reach the desired period, could easily persevere.

So, the carriage traveled along the Luo River, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the place where the river originated, and before you knew it, it was another seven days.

On this day, after the end of the day's trip, the stars and the moon were like hanging, and several people camped by the river, sitting around the campfire, and chatting first.

"I said Brother Xiaojian, when are you going to follow us?" Zhao Xifeng washed away the dust on the road in the icy river water, walked behind Cao Xiaojian with wet hair, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How long have you been out of the mountain, with Luohe to guide you, you won't get lost." ”

Cao Xiaojian gnawed on the pancakes, leaned against a protruding stone on the bank, sighed and said: "Today's young people, I really don't know how to cherish myself, the river water in winter is the most cold, you use it to wash your hands and face, now it's happy, and when you are the same age as me, you will inevitably suffer from rheumatism." ”

", you're not winter yet, sleeping on a snowy mountain. Dong Erpang sneered, Cao Xiaojian lowered his head and nibbled on the cake, pretending not to hear.

Zhao Xifeng scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, I can't hear that I'm driving people, along the way, you eat ours and drink ours, and you still lie on the roof of the car and don't work or work, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, after eating this meal, we will part ways." ”

"I would like to, but look at the carriage, I can pull it, and I'm not a cultivator in the agreeable period," Cao Xiaojian pointed to the jet-black fine iron carriage and pouted, "As for the journey, Dongfeng Xiaoyou, you also said that I want to rely on the big river to guide the way, and you also have to walk along the river, so why not walk together, and there will be a response along the way." ”

Everyone in the Panlong Academy exchanged glances with each other, this was the first time Cao Xiaojian mentioned cultivation.

Zhong Li, who had been sitting in the carriage, opened his mouth and asked, "Can you see that we are cultivators in the consensual period, and we must also be cultivators?"

Cao Xiaojian replied with a faint expression: "I've been in contact with some, yes or no, I'm a talisman." ”

Zhong Li nodded and stopped talking.

Fu Shi is a very special existence among cultivators, and it is also the least valued part of all cultivators, in the Central Continent, just as not everyone can sense the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, and not everyone is as strong as the geniuses of the Panlong Academy, there are such a part of people, they can faintly perceive the flow and direction of the Yuan Spirit between heaven and earth, but it is not accurate, it is stronger than ordinary people, and it is not even possible to return the Yuan Spirit into the body, the divine will and one, so the highest state is just to take the body, so this part of the people embarked on another path of cultivation, that is, runes。

Since they can't accurately perceive the Yuan Ling, then they must rely on external objects, and the Fu Shi is to move the invisible Yuan Ling to the direction of the Yuan Spirit, and use the pen to trace on the rune paper to strengthen the perception, so as to perform all kinds of spells, but the power of the Yuan Ling that the paper can bear is limited after all, so the role that the rune can play is usually some auxiliary functions, and even more, some Jianghu warlocks often pretend to be Fu Shi, pretending to be a god and deceive the ignorant people, so there has always been a popular saying in the cultivation world, people cultivate immortals, and ghosts draw talismans. It fully reflects the contempt of ordinary cultivators for the runes.

Therefore, there has always been a huge controversy about whether a rune is a cultivator or not, which is why Cao Xiaojian said that he was not a cultivator when he was asked whether he was a cultivator.

Of course, Zhong Li wouldn't believe that Cao Xiaojian was just a cultivator in the physical realm, but he didn't debunk it in person.

Cao Xiaojian saw that everyone didn't stop talking, and it seemed that they had made up their minds to drive him away, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, I'll start working tomorrow, as for eating your dry food, when I get to the capital, I will get the silver from home, and I will pay the bill in full!"

Zhao Xifeng's eyes were slightly cold, from the time they met to the present, no one had ever said to Cao Xiaojian that the destination of several people was the capital.

Zhong Li also discovered this, and like Zhao Xifeng, he didn't say anything, but asked: "This bit of dry food is nothing, if you eat it, you will eat it, what I am curious about is, what can you do for us?

Cao Xiaojian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said confidently: "First of all, in addition to being a rune, I am also an amateur swordsman, and I can definitely ensure your safety along the way." ”

At this point, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, three people who fit the mood need a bodyguard who takes care of the physical environment?

"Don't look at your cultivation is higher than mine, but where can a half-grown doll really meet people in life and death, the rivers and lakes are very dangerous," Cao Xiaojian also found that this was inappropriate, and continued with a dry cough, "Also, I can help you with your cultivation and get twice the result with half the effort!"
