The sun hid behind the heavy lead-gray clouds, and the icy winter rain trickled down for a while, followed by snowflakes.
It was only the ninth day of the first lunar month, and there were few pedestrians on the official road. I saw an ox cart slowly moving north, its wheels creaking over the muddy road full of ice slag, and splashing a puddle of mud from time to time.
The old grandson who was driving the car was woken up by his employer from the hot quilt early this morning. The employer is a middle-aged man with a beard and a fierce face, saying that he has just finished the New Year and wants to accompany his wife to Chang'an to burn incense and make a wish.
Lao Sun didn't want to take this business, the weather was cold and the road was far away, and the New Year was not over. I have been busy outside for a whole year, and I wanted to take advantage of this time to enjoy a few days of happiness and hug my wife more. couldn't stand the lot of money given by the murderer, and the silver ingots of white flowers were piled up in front of him, and Lao Sun's eyes were blind.
So, he got on an ox cart and took the two guests on the road.
It was cold, and it was really hard to earn this hard-earned money, so it took more than two hours to get out, and Lao Sun was frozen all over.
Although he was wrapped in a thick coat, he couldn't resist the biting cold wind and poured it into his neckline one by one.
It's rain and snow again, I really don't understand why two people have to go out today?
Lao Sun didn't understand, but Diao Xiaosi and Princess Jincheng, who were sitting in the car, understood very well that this road was indeed not easy to walk.
The two recuperated in the mountains and forests for three days, stabilized their injuries a little, and then found a way out of the mountains to prepare to return to Chang'an.
According to Princess Jincheng's thoughts, she did not approve of Diao Xiaosi taking such a risk. After all, both of them were extremely seriously injured, and they couldn't do anything with people at all. In case of being intercepted by the disciples of the Righteous Path, not to mention the top masters of the level of the five great grandmasters, even if there are three or two ordinary disciples of the Secret Realm, they are powerless to resist. Even if the three demons were summoned and barely blocked for a while, they would not be able to withstand the reinforcements coming from all directions.
But Diao Xiaosi knew that Princess Jincheng couldn't hold it anymore. The Xingtian War Spirit is ready to devour her at any time, and if it drags on for one more day, it will be more dangerous, so only by rushing back to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum as soon as possible and using the abundant aura there to suppress it, there may still be a glimmer of life. So, if you don't take the risk, you have to take it.
The two did not dare to resist the wind and were powerless to resist the wind, so they supported each other all the way and stumbled out of the mountain. Looking at each other's embarrassed appearances, thinking of the battle against the Jinding Monk and Wang Shichong a few days ago, I couldn't help but feel like a different world, but I had a warmth in my heart.
Out of the mountain, Diao Xiaosi inquired and realized that he and Princess Jincheng had actually run to the Bears Ears Mountain in Henan, and there were nearly thousands of miles to go to Chang'an from here.
He couldn't help but lament, when he ran out of Luoyang madly, why didn't he choose a place closer to Chang'an to land? It was too late to regret it, so the two of them found a small town to rest for a night, first made a disguise modification, and then found out that there was an old handlebar surnamed Sun in the town, and his character was good, especially his ears were not very good, and his heart and eyes were even more difficult to use.
So it was him. The next day, at dawn, Diao Xiaosi smashed open the door of Lao Sun's house and dragged him out of the house with a pile of silver ingots.
Although they have been disguised, Diao Xiaosi and Princess Jincheng still dare not be careless. It's okay for them to deceive ordinary people with their pretenses, but it's almost impossible to hide from those old rivers and lakes. Especially the righteous disciples who are equipped with Xuan Gong, they only need to glance at the Gongju eyes, and the little fourth master will be exposed.
So along the way, Diao Xiaosi was cautious and forcibly did not lift the curtain to look out.
The ox cart traveled all the way north for a morning, but fortunately there was no trouble.
Suddenly, I heard Lao Sun turn around and beckon: "Master Li, there is a town ahead, let's eat something hot and then hurry." ”
Diao Xiaosi thought that there should be no problem in this poor and remote country, but it was a big deal that he and Princess Jincheng hid in the car and couldn't come out, so let Lao Sun go into the restaurant to fill his stomach by himself, so he said: "We brought food, you go and come back quickly." ”
Lao Sun was really a heartless child, so he didn't ask much immediately, and rushed to the town in front of him with a bull and whip.
The ox cart entered the town, and there was a noodle shop on the street.
Lao Sun said hello to Diao Xiaosi, stopped the ox cart, and got into the steaming noodle restaurant.
There are two large charcoal stoves burning in the noodle restaurant, and the milky white noodle soup in the pot is steaming hot.
On a cold day, there were not many guests, only a table of four or five young people sitting around there drinking wine, seeing that they were all carrying swords, Lao Sun subconsciously avoided it and sat in the corner.
Unexpectedly, the young men had already set their eyes on him, and one of them asked, "Brother, come out to run a business?"
Lao Sun was timid and didn't dare not answer, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Uh-huh!"
The young man looked at him and asked with a smile, "Where is that?"
Lao Sun kept his employer's instructions in mind and replied without hesitation: "Xianyang!"
"Xianyang...... the young man said "oh", his expression relaxed, and he didn't ask any more.
At this time, another young man in blue sitting next to him suddenly said coldly: "Why don't the people in the car come out to eat?"
Lao Sun Ne said: "They brought dry food, and they were too lazy to get out of the car." ”
"Would you rather be cold in the car than come in to bake the fire?" The young man in blue stood up and stretched out his hand to open the heavy door curtain, and a cold wind outside the noodle shop rolled up a large cloud of white snow.
He stood still, and the snowflakes were about to fall on his body, as if he was being blocked by some invisible force, and the sound of "sigh" split into two and blew past the side of the young man in blue.
The young man in blue stared into the overwhelming wind and snow, and saw an ox cart parked alone on the street.
Lao Sun threw down the bowl and hurriedly followed, trembling and said, "Little brother, you are ......"
"It's none of your business, stay aside and don't talk. The young man who was chatting with Lao Sun before pushed him into the door and asked the young man in blue, "Senior brother, do you think there is something in this car?"
The young man in blue said, "You stay here, I'll go and see." ”
He walked slowly towards the ox cart, extremely careful with every step, and said loudly: "Zhang Wuji in Xialonghu Mountain, why don't the friends in the car come out to see him?"
There was no reaction in the ox cart, and the disciples of Longhu Mountain who stayed in the noodle shop noticed that something was wrong, and they each pressed the fairy sword in their hands and reminded them: "Senior brother, be careful!"
Zhang Wuji waved his hand, took out Hei Xiao and stepped forward and said, "Please forgive this son for offending!"
While silently using Xuan Gong to protect his whole body in case of accidents, he slowly picked up a corner of the car curtain with Hei Xiao with his probing hand.
The light in the car was dim, and I saw a middle-aged man and a gray-haired old woman sitting cross-legged, and the four eyes met Zhang Wuji in unison.
The middle-aged man actually grinned at him and said, "Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu was guessing which haba he would be hit, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Hei Xiao in Zhang Wuji's hand shook and said in a lost voice: "You really dare to come?!"
The fellow door outside the noodle restaurant didn't know when it happened, and said with concern: "Senior brother, who is in the car, is it the person we are looking for?"
Zhang Wuji ignored it, looked at Diao Xiaosi's cold face and flashed a smile, and said, "The blind cat bumped into the dead mouse, it's just luck." He threw a small porcelain vase into the ox cart.
Seeing Diao Xiaosi unceremoniously put away the porcelain bottle and put it into his arms, Zhang Wuji said in a low voice: "There are a few Dragon and Tiger Mountain elixirs in it, save a little use." ”
Diao Xiaosi smiled: "You really don't want to catch Lao Tzu and go back to receive the reward?"
"Nonsense, even if everyone in the world wants to arrest you, you are still you, and I am still me!" said that, the curtain of the car fell "sigh", cutting off the sight of the two.
Zhang Wuji turned around casually and said, "There is a mother and son in the car, and it has nothing to do with us." Everyone went into the house to pick up the stubble and drink, and left. ”
Those few young disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain didn't have him, and surrounded Zhang Wuji into the noodle restaurant.
Princess Jincheng slowly let go of the jade hand hidden under the warm mattress, put away the Queqiao Xianni, and felt that her palms were full of cold sweat.
It's so dangerous, if she encounters someone who refuses to let them go, she can only summon the Xingtian War Spirit to forcibly raid, and take Diao Xiaosi to escape with a bloody way. But that will inevitably further aggravate the injury, and it will further awaken the Xingtian Battle Soul until the day when he is unable to restrain his back-devouring strength.
At this time, I heard Lao Sun snort: "Master Li, let's go on the road, right?"
Diao Xiaosi also had palpitations and didn't want to stay in the town for a moment longer. He wasn't afraid that Zhang Wuji, the kid, would regret it, but since there were already disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain here, the masters of other sects must not be far away.
The disciples of the righteous path Liuding are as many branches as cattle hairs, who can expect that every time they bump into their fox friends and dog friends?
At that moment, Diao Xiaosi leaned into his ear and ordered: "Out of the town, let's go east!"
"To the east, aren't you going to Chang'an?" Lao Sun asked in amazement, he was born with bad ears, and he was almost used to roaring when he spoke, so hated that Diao Xiaosi wanted to block him with a snow ball.
Fortunately, there was no movement in the noodle restaurant, and Lao Sun jumped on the ox cart and said to himself: "Look at my brain, Master Li, you want to trick them into going east, right? ”
As he spoke, he drove the ox cart out of town, and when he came to the fork outside the town, he turned east.
Diao Xiaosi listened attentively to the movement behind the car, and waited for the ox cart to drive five or six miles east before he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lao Sun: "Let's stop for a while at the land temple next to the road ahead." ”
Lao Sun wondered: "It's just on the road, why do you have to stop again?"
Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "Lao Tzu has a stomachache, what's the matter with you?"
The ox cart stopped in front of the Land Temple, and Diao Xiaosi and Princess Jincheng got out of the car.
Lao Sun looked at the mother and son walking hand in hand into the Land Temple, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that his son had diarrhea, why did the old lady follow up? By the way, it must have been the old lady who was embarrassed to say it just now, so she asked her son to stop.
Having figured this out, he turned back and took out the hay he had prepared, and went to serve his precious cow.
Unexpectedly, after just feeding two mouthfuls, he suddenly passed out with a numb in his back.
