Chapter 23: Uncle Li

The Huai River, located in the eastern part of the Tang Empire in the southern Ganbu Continent, is between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and is called the "Four Evils" together with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Jishui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Huai River originates in the Tongbai Mountain Range in the northwest direction, and the main stream flows through the Nanhe region, Huainan region, and Jiangnan region in the territory of the Tang Empire.

Since Ruyizi was possessed by the Jade Robe Emperor, he traveled day and night to Huaiyin Turtle Mountain.

According to the speed of ordinary people, it will take at least thirty years to travel from the territory of the Baoxiang Kingdom of Xiniu Hezhou to the territory of the Tang Empire in the Southern Ganbu Continent.

Ruyizi is not an ordinary person, he is an earth immortal who has achieved cultivation, and later received the mysterious power given by the Jade Robe Emperor, and he has three thousand years of skill out of thin air, and he leaps into the heavenly immortal realm.

Therefore, under his method of evading during the day and driving the clouds and fog at night, it only took nearly four months to reach the lower reaches of the Huai River.

If it weren't for the fact that he encountered some eyeless casual cultivators on the way, and wanted to rob and snatch the magic weapon on Ruyizi's body, otherwise he would have advanced at least half a month in advance.

On this day, when the sun had just set, Ruyizi collected the technique of soil escape, drilled out of the ground, panted, and looked up, and found that there were crops in all directions.

Although cultivators have magical powers that are different from ordinary people, after cultivating successfully, they can not only ward off the cold and heat, but also avoid food and live forever.

But as the saying goes, "a good man can't stand three bubbles", what will happen if he pulls three bubbles in a row? Of course, it is dehydration, diarrhea and dehydration can be complicated by acute renal failure!

Even if Ruyizi has already reached the realm of Bigu, there is no need to eat every day, but water is the source of life, and he has been traveling for more than three months in a row, without a moment of rest, and his physical strength has long been overdrawn!

Although his hunger is not obvious, he can't control the dry mouth, and if he can't replenish his water and recover his strength, he will not be able to continue his journey.

Ruyizi is physically exhausted, although the mana in the body is there, but it can't be urged, so he can only release his divine thoughts slowly, and slowly disperse in all directions, looking for water.

After a while, Ruyizi's divine thoughts captured five miles ahead, and there was a place where the mortal aura was concentrated, which seemed to be a small village.

He originally wanted to hold on to his breath and drive the clouds to the village, but after thinking about it, the Jade Robe Emperor had instructed that unless he had to do so, he was not allowed to reveal the means and identity of cultivators in front of mortals, so as not to be noticed by the ears and eyes of the heavenly court in the mortal world.

Ruyizi lowered her head, looked at her feet, pouted and said to herself, "I have no choice, I have to wronged you." ”

After that, he began to recite the incantation silently, and a stream of clear qi suddenly appeared around his body, and after the clear qi dissipated, he had already transformed into the appearance of an old man in the wandering party.

Even if he relied on walking, Ruyizi's foot strength was more than a star and a half stronger than that of ordinary mortals, and after more than ten minutes, he came to the entrance of the village.

"Good, good!"

As soon as Ruyizi arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw an ancient well at the head of the village, and there was a large vat in the open space next to the well.

He happily came to the vat, lifted the lid of the bamboo plank, reached out and scooped half a handful of water, and tasted it.

"There is a hint of sweetness in the purity, what a good well!"

After drinking, Ruyizi sat down on the edge of the ancient well and began to exercise pranayama, preparing to rest for a while.

At this moment, an old man came out of the village, carrying a flat pole on his shoulder, and an empty wooden barrel was tied to each end of the pole.

Seeing a stranger sitting by the ancient well, looking like an old man from Youfang, he said hello loudly.

"Hey, old man, you're Lang Zhong from You Fang, right?"

Although Ruyizi noticed that someone was approaching, the person who came exuded a mortal aura, so he was not nervous when he was exercising his pranayama.

Seeing that the other party didn't take care of him, the old man didn't care, so he came to the well by himself and fetched water as before.

"This old man, I'm sorry, I'm so tired that I don't have a little strength to go down, I'm napping just now, so I can't respond to you in time, I'm really sorry!"

Ruyizi got up and saluted, and when he spoke, the old man had already beaten the water.

The old man put down his burden, walked to the old man who was transformed into Ruyizi and sat down, stretched out his hand and rubbed his left and right legs, and said: "A passer-by like you, old man, has seen a lot of people in our village, so you don't have to blame yourself." ”

When Ruyizi heard this, he suddenly became interested and said, "Brother Tai, do you know how to go to Huaiyin County?"

Hearing Ruyizi call himself "Brother Tai", the old man glanced at the other party's white hair, smiled, and didn't care.

"Fifty miles forward from our village, there is a county seat, called 'Anle Town', as long as you bypass Anle Town, it is the boundary of Huaiyin County. ”

Ruyizi said: "Is there a war ahead, or is there a plague, otherwise why would you want to bypass Anle Town?"

The old man looked at Ruyizi seriously, and said a little puzzled: "The old gentleman doesn't know 'Anle Town'?"

"I don't know, but I also ask my brother to explain one or two. ”

The old man said with a sad face: "It's not that Anle Town can't enter, but the people who went in didn't come out again." ”

Ruyizi saw that the old man was caught in his memories, so he chose to remain silent and waited for the other party to continue.

"Old man, my surname is Li, and my father went to Anle Town with other bold people fifty years ago because of curiosity, and he has not returned. Thirty years ago, my mother went to the city in search of my father, and she has not returned. ”

"You must be wondering why my father went into the city, right?"

"Let me tell you, many years ago, some people claimed that the roads in the city were paved with jade, restaurants, teahouses, pharmacies, pawnshops, etc., and that business was easy to do, and anyone who entered the city could find their own comfortable nest. This is also the reason why the city is called 'Anle Town'. ”

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "There were many strangers who came here just to enter the city to see if the rumors were true, but no one came back. So, old man, I suggest that it is better for Sir to take a detour!"

"Thank you brother for showing the way, please accept this!"

Ruyizi felt that this information was very important, and in order to express her gratitude, she pretended to put her hand into her arms and take out something, but in fact, she took a piece of insect repellent jade from the storage magic weapon and stuffed it into Uncle Li's hand.

Insect repellent jade is a common material for cultivators to refine high-level magic weapons, and it has a deterrent effect on ordinary snakes, insects, and beasts.

Ruyizi can refine many pieces of insect-repellent jade by just finding a spirit stone, for him, the insect-repellent jade is very ordinary, but it is a rare treasure in the hands of mortals.

Uncle Li saw that Ruyizi didn't seem to be lying, so he resolutely refused to accept it, and said, "This kind of treasure, the old man can't be blessed!"

In the past, there were many powerful demons around the Treasure Elephant Kingdom who were obediently driven by Ruyizi, but now he saw that Uncle Li was a good person, and wanted to give the other party a piece of the most ordinary jade piece, but Uncle Li dared not to, which made Ruyizi very annoyed.

Ruyizi was anxious, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly burst out, and he said without thinking: "Do you accept it?!"

Uncle Li was so frightened by Ruyizi's terrible eyes that his legs became weak, and he accepted the jade piece tremblingly.

Ruyizi sneered, turned around and walked in the direction of Anle Town.
