Chapter 8: A Foreign Country
"Trumpet!" The intense hunger pang made Nu Tian slowly open his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Nutian found himself lying on an ox cart full of hay, the smell of hay mixed with cow dung lifted his spirits, and the whole person was much more sober!
"Where am I?" Nu Tian felt a pain all over his body as soon as he moved.
"You're awake!" said an old man in surprise as he walked up to the ox cart.
"Uncle, did you save me? Thank you so much!" Nu Tian hurriedly got up and saluted his father-in-law.
"You just lie down first, you're all wounded!" the old man smiled and patted Nu Tian on the shoulder and said, "By the way, you should be hungry too! I'm going to get you something to eat." ”
"Thank you, old man!" Nu Tian hurriedly thanked.
When he saw the food brought by the old man, Nu Tian was slightly stunned. I thought it would be very good to have a full meal! What I didn't expect was that the food brought by the old man was very exquisite, which made Nu Tian unconsciously have a great appetite.
"Eat it, eat it! You're so lucky today, you can't eat this kind of thing. The old man on one side saw that Nu Tian was eating so happily, and he was also happy.
"Uncle, you can eat some too, this snack is really good!" Nu Tian said.
"You kid, I've already eaten it! The old man laughed and scolded.
"Uncle, are you a caravan?" Nu Tian looked at the mighty convoy in front of him and asked curiously, "Such a large team, where is this going?"
"We are not a caravan, but a juggling troupe that walks the rivers and lakes. It's just that for the safety of the road, there are merchant groups that accompany us to Tianluo City!" said the old man with a smile.
"Isn't it safe on the road?" asked Nutian.
"Why, I'm scared of thieves!" the old man smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, no thieves will dare to come this time!"
"Oh!" Nu Tian glanced ahead, guessing that the convoy might have a big man with him, otherwise the old man would not be so confident.
"By the way, what kind of person are you, this kid, who actually appeared alone in such a barren mountain and wilderness?" the old man asked.
"I was here to increase my knowledge, so I traveled outside, and I didn't expect bad luck, I first got lost and didn't know where I went, and then I met thieves......" Nu Tian said casually.
"It seems that you are also a rich man!" the old man glanced at Nu Tian with deep meaning.
"Haha, I can't escape the eyes of my father-in-law!" Nu Tian took the opportunity to boast.
"Hahaha......"
The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, Nu Tian found out some information from the old man's mouth that he wanted to know. This place is within the territory of the country of San Luo, which is one of the only three countries left on the continent. As for where this Saint Luo Kingdom was, the old man couldn't tell, but Nu Tian speculated based on the language spoken to each other that he had not left the star field where he was originally located.
The city of Tianluo, which the convoy is heading to, is a bay city in the country of Shengluo, which is connected to the open sea and is very prosperous. And in addition to the juggling group and the merchant group that the old man said earlier, there was also a very noble person accompanying him, and the mighty soldiers in front of the convoy were the guards belonging to the adult, and it was unknown who the adult was!
During the conversation, Nu Tian unconsciously mentioned the cultivator, but the old man didn't know anything, as if there were no monks in this place at all, which made Nu Tian feel very incredible. But the status of this old man is too low, so it cannot be ruled out that he does not know!
The convoy traveled for several days, and no one cared about the strangers on the ox cart behind the convoy. And after a few days of rest, Nutian also fully recovered. After carefully examining his body, he found that not only was he unable to use his mana, but the spiritual power that originally existed in his body had also disappeared without a trace, and his body had strangely become no different from ordinary people. You must know that in the past, although Nu Tian lost all his mana, he could still open mountains and crack rocks with the power of his physical body alone, so would he be no different from ordinary people like now?
With a "bang", a shallow fist mark was left on the tree. This was something that Nu Tian barely managed to do with ingenuity and concentrated the strength of his whole body, which really made him distressed.
"The mana cultivation has been completely lost, and all the magic weapons and spirit stones on his body have been lost, what should I do in the future?" Nu Tian glanced at the clothes on his body, which was kindly lent to him by the old man, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in such a predicament.
"Little slave, what are your plans in the future?" At this time, the old man walked over, looked at the tree in front of Nu Tian, and said with a little surprise: "I didn't expect that your kid is actually a practitioner, do you want me to recommend you to be a guard in the merchant group?"
The old man was shocked when he learned Nutian's name, saying that this name was taboo and should not be called like this in the future. So every time I saw him, I called him "little slave" directly, which made Nutian quite speechless.
"Rob is really joking, what kind of practitioner am I? It's just that I practiced boxing for a few days when I was a child, and I am more good at fighting!" Nu Tian replied with a smile: "As for the plan, I really haven't thought about it for a while." It's better to be a guard in the merchant group as Rob said!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Laohan said unhappily: "What's the good thing about being a merchant guard? When I get to Tianluo City, I will be cost-effective with you, find a regular job, marry a beautiful mother-in-law, and live a harmonious life!"
"Haha, just listen to Rob!" Nutian laughed.
"Rob, do you say that there are immortals in this world?" Just as Luo Laohan turned around and was about to leave, Nu Tian suddenly looked at the sky and asked.
"You just ran out of the house to find the immortals, right?" Luo Laohan asked suspiciously.
"Hmm!" replied the slave in a meaningful voice.
With a "snap", Nu Tian's head was hit.
"Daydreaming all day long, this one is for your dad to beat you!" Luo Laohan scolded angrily.
"Know, know, don't fight again!" Seeing that Luo Laohan was about to fight again, Nu Tian was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided it and begged for mercy loudly.
"If you dare to think cranky, see if I don't beat you to death!" Luo Laohan waved his sleeves vigorously and said threateningly.
"Hee-hee-hee!" Nu Tian smiled and nodded in response.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and after a while, Nu Tian saw more than a dozen fast horses chasing after him. And the leader looked at him a few times with ill will when he passed by Nutian, and then the crowd galloped away!
"Who are they?" asked Nu Tian curiously.
"It's the Sky Wolf Flying Catch!" Luo Laohan replied in disgust as he looked at the backs of those people.
"Sky Wolf Flying Catch, what is it?" asked Nu Tian suspiciously.
"It's not a good thing!" Luo Laohan's answer made Nu Tian speechless for a while.
Under the stalking of Nutian, Luo Laohan finally opened his mouth to solve his doubts. The so-called Sky Wolf Flying Catch is a mercenary team formed by the temporary capture of various localities, in order to hunt down all kinds of criminals for payment. Most of them are officials, and they have rich experience, and they often get twice the result with half the effort. It's just that they are not official members of the imperial court, and most of them do things for money, so they have become lackeys of officials and merchants, and the targets of pursuit have slowly changed from criminals to other ......
As he spoke, the convoy in front of him had stopped. At this time, Nu Tian found that Luo Laohan's face suddenly became extremely pale, and the whole person trembled unconsciously.
"Rob, are you alright?" asked Nutian with concern.
"Little slave, do you know? Actually, the person who saved you was not me, but someone else!" Luo Laohan turned around and said helplessly.
