Chapter 166: Fate, Coincidence, or Conspiracy?

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Qingfeng deliberately found a quiet inn to live in. He didn't want to get into trouble now, so the quieter the place, the better.

In fact, he didn't have to go into the city, but along the way, Xinli had already drunk a lot of the good wine that his senior brother gave him. He needs to get some good wine to drink now. It's also one of his few hobbies.

At night, when Xiao Qingfeng sat cross-legged in the room to meditate. Outside, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the street. Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door of the inn. Not long after, there was a knock on his own porter.

When he opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but Xiao Qingfeng still got up and opened the door. When I opened it, I saw the innkeeper and two sergeants in leather armor standing outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

Just glancing at the two sergeants, Xiao Qingfeng turned his eyes to the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry! Now that the military master is arresting criminals in the whole city, I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you. ”

The shopkeeper first apologized, and then told the reason. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Dongfeng City, as long as it is a person who often stays in the inn, it will be encountered once or twice. Especially these days, sergeants come to search every night.

At the same time as the shopkeeper spoke, the two sergeants took out two portraits, carefully compared Xiao Qingfeng, and both shook their heads, one of them turned around and said, "No, go!"

After the shopkeeper and the two sergeants left, Xiao Qingfeng touched his chin, revealing a hint of thought.

Just now, he glanced at the portrait and found that the portrait of the two sergeants was actually the scholar and his little scholar who were eating today, as if they were called, Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Bo. was arrested by the whole city, and dared to go to the restaurant, Xiao Qingfeng admired this courage.

"Huh!"

With a chuckle, Xiao Qingfeng turned back to the room. This matter has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Of course, if he wants to arrest himself because he invited them to eat, then he will not be polite.

Xiao Qingfeng's worries were unnecessary, and the night was calm and nothing happened.

Early in the morning of the second day, after the morning exercise, Xiao Qingfeng took the brown hair out of Dongfeng City. For him, Dongfeng City is just a very small stop, this kind of stop, too many encounters along the way, and there is no too special feeling.

All the way to the west, the next big city he went to should be Qilin City. For the five big cities in Yuanzhou, Xiao Qingfeng was most interested in Qilin City. Not because of anything else, but because of the word unicorn.

The Rui Beast Qilin was a large family in the primeval period.

As soon as the Qilin was born, at least it was a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator. As long as he is an adult, he will be an Earth Immortal Venerable casually. With a little cultivation, you can enter the realm of heavenly immortals. However, it is extremely difficult for the Qilin clan to reproduce, and there have been few of them.

The unicorn has a gentle temperament, and is a legendary traditional auspicious beast and benevolent beast, which combines dragon head, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horse hooves, and ox tails.

Xiao Qingfeng naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that there would be a Qilin in Qilin City. He just wanted to see what was so special about this big city that could be named after a divine beast. If possible, he would like to explore the great city.

"Brother, brother!"

Just as Xiao Qingfeng was driving the brown hair to the west, the shouts of the scholar from yesterday suddenly sounded in his ears. Le Ma stopped, Xiao Qingfeng turned his head to look, but saw that the scholar Shangguan Qian and his little scholar were actually driving a thin horse towards him.

"Heh! Last night's search was so harsh, and you were not caught, which can be regarded as capable. ”

Looking at Shangguan Qian and the others, who had a slightly better image, Xiao Qingfeng teased. Now, he was really curious about how these two people had escaped the search.

Arching his hand slightly, Shangguan Qian was not humble at all and said: "There is still a way to deal with those sergeants. Of course, thanks to Brother Tai's help, otherwise, the two of us would not have escaped from the city so easily. By the way, can Brother Tai go west?"

"Aren't you going to meet each other?" Xiao Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Oh! That's just a trick to deceive people in a hurry, and you don't have to take it seriously. Without the slightest feeling of debunking the lie, Shangguan Qianxing hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, the two of us are also going west, why don't we join a gang?"

"I'm sorry! Xiao is used to being alone!"

Shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head slightly, Xiao Qingfeng directly refused. After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Shangguan Qian, who still wanted to speak, and directly shook the reins and drove away.

"Brother Shangguan, that big brother won't take us!" Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's back, Shangguan Bo, who was sitting in front of the thin horse, said with some disappointment.

"It's okay, he'll take us!" Shangguan Qian was not discouraged, and also shook the reins and hurriedly chased after Xiao Qingfeng.

Although Xiao Qingfeng said that he was in a hurry, in fact he did not run desperately. On the one hand, he needs to retain his strength to deal with sudden changes, and on the other hand, he also enjoys the scenery along the way and cultivates by the way.

A true practitioner is not just meditating and refining qi.

What they do more is the existence of the Dao, and the most important thing is to enhance their own experience, which is a crucial factor. It is precisely because of this that the sect will let the disciples of Zhuji go out to travel, experience the world, and understand life.

Xiao Qingfeng sometimes thinks that some people say: People with a pure heart are pure-minded, and their cultivation speed will be very fast. However, he felt that the heart of a child was not ignorance, and if he did not have rich experience, then his heart of innocence was just a superficial statement.

The true heart of a child is to have experienced the wind and waves, experienced the world, and finally did not forget the original intention. However, there must be very few such people, at least Xiao Qingfeng himself can't do it

Because Xiao Qingfeng's speed was not fast, Shangguan Qian and the others were barely able to keep up. However, because Xiao Qingfeng was cold all the way, Shangguan Qian and the others didn't dare to speak.

At noon, they came to a small stream.

With Xiao Qingfeng's current cultivation, it is common not to eat for ten days and a half months. And in that special place in the shallow lake cave, it was okay not to even eat for two years.

Brown fur can't do it, though.

Spirits are very patient, but they have a greater appetite, and the speed at which they practice is closely related to what they eat. This is also the reason why there are many spirits who can't help but eat people, not only because of their nature, but also because human flesh and blood contain extremely high essence, which can make spirits accelerate their cultivation.

Of course, any spirit with a little insight will not do this, because the sequelae are too great. As long as you eat people, none of them will be able to cultivate to the earth fairyland. The real big demons actually basically have a profound inheritance, and they are even more powerful than some big sects.

Since following Xiao Qingfeng, the cultivation of brown hair and wild boar essence has increased very quickly, and it is not unrelated to food.

Using local materials, Xiao Qingfeng directly caught a few fish in the creek. Of course, this is what he prepared for himself, and as for the brown fur and the boar essence, they will take care of it themselves.

"Brother Shangguan, come on! Brother Shangguan, come on!"

Just when Xiao Qingfeng was grilling the fish by himself, Shangguan Bo's unique voice sounded in his ears.

looked up, but saw that Shangguan Qian actually went into the water to catch fish himself. This made Xiao Qingfeng really impressed, but thinking of his behavior yesterday, he felt that it was normal. A shameless scholar, but also a smart scholar, that must be terrible.

However, after all, he is a scholar, and although he is not helpless, it is still difficult to catch fish. I tossed for almost half an hour, but I haven't even caught it.

Pouting and shaking his head slightly, Xiao Qingfeng shouted at Shangguan Bo: "Xiaobo, come here, my brother will give you fish." ”

Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's shout, Shangguan Bo glanced over here, sniffled, smelled the aroma of grilled fish in the air, and involuntarily licked his lips.

However, in the end, he persevered with great perseverance, shook his head, and thanked: "Thank you big brother, but I'll still wait for Brother Shangguan to catch fish and eat it." ”

Since Shangguan Bo said so, Xiao Qingfeng didn't say anything more. After another quarter of an hour or so, Shangguan Qian finally caught two fish, and they were two fat fish.

After a long day of work, I finally got the two fish on the fire and roasted them. While roasting, Shangguan Qian also asked, "Brother Tai, you're not from Yuanzhou, are you?"

"How can you see it?" Xiao Qingfeng didn't treat him coldly this time.

"Feeling!" Shangguan Qian replied as he added wood, "Xiaosheng does not have the ability of a strong man, he cannot fight a hundred with one person, he cannot kill people invisibly without the ability of a Taoist, he cannot kill people invisibly, he does not have the ability of a soldier, he cannot export blood, and he does not have the ability of a Buddhist family, and he cannot give people a transcendent ascension." However, along the way, many times the evil has turned into good fortune, relying on the feeling of Xiaosheng. ”

"Brother Shangguan's feeling is terrible, he said to go to the left, he said to go to the right, he said to go to the right, none of those armor soldiers can find him. Shangguan Bo suddenly said that in his young heart, Shangguan Qian was the most powerful person in the world.

"Hehe!" Xiao Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled, without saying much.

Naturally, he wouldn't believe Shangguan Qian's nonsense. He felt that with a smart person, there was only one thing he needed to do, and that was not to believe his nonsense. Still based on what he said, no matter how unbelievable he said, still because he said no matter how fanciful he was. In short, don't believe his nonsense.

Especially this kind of scholar, don't look at the superficial benevolence and righteousness, as if everything is considered for others. But in reality, they don't show mercy behind their backs. Sometimes, they may sell you, and you'll be idiotic enough to count the money for him.

"What, Brother Tai doesn't believe it?" Seeing that Xiao Qingfeng just chuckled but didn't speak, Shangguan asked with a straight face.

"What about believing, and what about not believing?"

Turning the grilled fish in his hand, Xiao Qingfeng tilted his head and asked with a smile. He has always believed that one was a chance encounter, two were coincidences, and three times was a conspiracy.

"Hehe!" Shangguan Qian's face stiffened, his hand paused, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Brother Tai Mo didn't have a misunderstanding with Xiaosheng?"

"We didn't misunderstand!" Xiao Qingfeng shook his head slightly, this is the second time, if there is really a third time, then it will have to be misunderstood.

"That brother, why are you-"

At this moment, Shangguan Qian was a little distressed, he never thought that this person who could help him get out of danger would be so uninspired. No matter how witty he is, there is nothing he can do about this expressionless but unusually cold person.

"You'd better go quickly, wait a while, it is estimated that the pursuers will arrive!"

Took the grilled fish and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, Xiao Qingfeng nodded slightly intoxicated, yes, the craftsmanship is not rusty.

"According to Xiaosheng's prediction, it will be an hour before they get here at the earliest. Therefore, Xiaosheng still has time to chat with his brother. ”

Shangguan Qian was very relieved, he had full confidence in his speculation.

The reason was not only that he knew the City Lord's Mansion and the young city lord very well, but more importantly, the captain of the City Lord's Mansion Guards had a deep friendship with him. If he didn't have this friendship, no matter how big his ability was, he wouldn't be able to get out of the city so easily.

This time, Xiao Qingfeng did not refuse.

In the next half hour, Shangguan Qian kept stirring up topics. From Confucianism to Taoism, from Taoism to Buddhism, from Buddhism to soldiers, and then to Legalism.

But whatever he is proficient in, say it all. The only purpose of doing this was to try hard to get Xiao Qingfeng's attention.

However, for half an hour, Xiao Qingfeng always had that expression. At most, he laughed. This made Shangguan Qian suddenly feel an inexplicable frustration, and he didn't know how long it had been since he felt this frustration.

In fact, Xiao Qingfeng admired Shangguan Qian's erudition. This kind of person, if he gets a country like Da Chu or Da Chen, after a few years, he will definitely be a generation of famous ministers.

However, in this Yuanzhou territory, it is a little buried!

Half an hour later, Shangguan Qian left, very unwillingly. Actually, he didn't want to leave. However, he didn't dare to bet on the fate of himself and Shangguan Bo on a person he couldn't see through.

Half an hour after the two Shangguan Qian brothers left, Xiao Qingfeng also left. Not long after he left, a group of armor soldiers came to their perch.

Qilin City is directly west of Dongfeng City, with a straight-line distance of about 5,000 miles.

Xiao Qingfeng and their journey naturally couldn't be in a straight line, so according to two hundred miles a day, it would take at least twenty-five days to get from Dongfeng City to Qilin City. Under normal circumstances, it takes more than a month.

After an afternoon of hurrying, near the evening, Xiao Qingfeng found a depressed mountain temple.

He deliberately saw that there was no mountain god in this mountain temple, and he didn't know if he was killed by someone or died naturally without incense.

Doing it himself, he cleared a vacant lot and came out, and Xiao Qingfeng began to meditate cross-legged.

"Brother Shangguan, there is a mountain temple here. Let's rest here for the night tonight!" Just as Xiao Qingfeng was meditating, a voice suddenly sounded outside the mountain temple.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Qingfeng frowned slightly. The mind began to swirl, was this fate, or coincidence, or was it a plot?

Two ordinary mortals, naturally, could not plot against himself. He was now afraid of being dropped into the water by the two brothers. If you fight with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who are really chasing them, it will be a lot of fun!(To be continued.) )
