Ah Niu doesn't know how many times he called the sleeping fat boss out of his sleep, and every time it was the same sentence, but this sentence still worked.

"Lao Liu, the chasing soldiers are coming. ”

The fat boss, who was no longer a fat man after three months of running and fleeing, woke up quickly from his sleep, and the first thing he woke up to was usually only one thing, that is, to see if his daughter was busy packing up her things and preparing to run away.

It's another day of danger.

After wiping a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and eating a little wild fruit in this cave at will to satisfy his hunger, the boss who is no longer a fat man has a complicated expression, and he can't say whether to cry or laugh, because this day is three months under the countless ironclad round-up and finally keep the clouds open to see the moon and leave the land of western Liao, the normal journey is only a few days, but the escape took three months, the hardships can be imagined, but fortunately, Ah Niu really fulfilled his promise, as long as he was in the father and daughter will not die, several times to fight for his life, Ah Niu really did it.

"Little brother Niu, don't say anything, don't thank you, you are the benefactor of my father and daughter, if you can see each other again in the future, you will be rewarded. ”

Liu Feiyan has already packed her things, and she is the most comfortable person she has ever been in the past three months, because she doesn't have to worry about a knife against her, and she doesn't have to worry about not having food and no clothes, because Ah Niu will always think of many ways to get him food and clothing, she rarely talks to Ah Niu, but Ah Niu's shadow is afraid that it has been deeply imprinted in her heart.

"Brother Niu. ”

This is probably the first time that Liu Feiyan has called this for his father and daughter, Ah Niu, who has almost died many times.

"I think about it, when I return to Chu, I will go to learn martial arts, and I don't want to be a burden to others. ”

Ah Niu, who didn't know how to answer the words of gratitude from the father and daughter, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's more important to be able to go back alive than anything else, I have inquired, the black desert monsters have all been cleaned up by the righteous path, don't worry about anything else, look for the caravan to return to Chu together, but I have to remind you, there is a strange person in the black desert, if you accidentally bump into it, you tell him that you know a man named Ah Niu, maybe he may not let you go because of this, but, even if he dies, he will definitely make your death less painful." ”

The fat boss, father and daughter, left, and when they left, they still had a lot of silver taels, but they didn't need to worry about the expenses along the way, Ah Niu finally put his mind at ease, the Chu knife in his hand had been cut down in repeated battles, but now he knew that it was time to lose the knife.

"Go to the South China Sea or Taihu Lake first?"

When he threw the knife, he carved the traces of the knife, if it was facing up, it was the South China Sea, and if it was facing up, it was Taihu Lake, but maybe even God didn't give him a choice, and the knife landed impartially and just stuck on the ground.

"How do I choose?"

"Its implementers have already had their own choices when they lose their knives, and if they have a choice, why bother doing more. ”

When Ah Niu went down the mountain and threw his knife, a strange man came to the forest, saying that he was a strange man, because he was obviously carrying a peach wood sword, but he was also carrying a peach blossom branch in his hand, he was wearing a green coat and was a Taoist priest, he should be in his forties, with a beard, a plain face and no smiles, in fact, he is indeed a person who never smiles.

This Taoist person stops every ten steps, and recites words in his mouth, which is nothing more than chanting some of the most common Taoist mantras to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Ah Niu did have a choice in his heart, he planned to go to Taihu Lake first, because in the past three months, he had heard a lot of anecdotes in the land of western Liaoning, and he had seen almost eight out of ten people worship Ziwei Immortals, I don't know why whenever he passed by these people's homes, he would feel comfortable for no reason, he felt that his lost memories might have something to do with Ziwei, so he had to go to Taihu Lake first, maybe he could find some of his lost memories, he did think so before seeing this strange Taoist, but he was not in a hurry now, he felt that this strange Taoist priest was very interesting, so he wondered。

"Daoist, this is to exorcise evil spirits? I'm afraid there aren't so many demons and monsters doing it in broad daylight, don't you feel like you're doing useless work by doing this?"

"Naturally not. ”

The expressionless middle-aged Taoist shook his head.

"People have humanity, ghosts have ghost paths, heaven and earth have six paths, each in its own way, and the poor way is nothing more than cleaning up things that should not appear on different roads. ”

"Then what do you think you are walking this path for?"

Ah Niu asked curiously, and the middle-aged Taoist said softly.

"The path of poverty is the path of man. ”

"Then what do you mean as a Taoist priest is that there are things on this road that are not human?"

"Yes. ”

"Now that everyone has passed, what is the use of these spells to subdue demons and subdue demons if you come again?"

"In order to clear their smell, and so that they can be detected by the poor path when they return to this path in the future. ”

"What if you are detected?"

"The poor way will do the way for heaven. ”

Ah Niu smiled, he was somehow in a good mood.

"Daoist, do you have time? accompany me to the market at the foot of the mountain, although it is now autumn, there are still three autumn tigers, I invite you to drink a bowl of herbal tea, how about you walk humane for the way of heaven and earth?"

"No, I can't. ”

The Taoist shook his head.

"Today's homework is not done yet, and it is not yet time to drink tea. ”

"You take this as your homework?"

"It's not just a homework, it's a practice. ”

"And how much homework do you have to do every day?"

"The poor road travels a hundred miles every day to drive away the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods of the hundred miles. ”

"And how far have you traveled now?"

"I don't remember, I didn't count. ”

The Taoist stopped talking, he was very absorbed when he was concentrating on doing a thing, so engrossed that Ah Niu felt as if this road had really become a kind of practice, he had been following behind the Taoist unhurriedly, and he didn't know how much he walked, until sunset and dusk did not stop, the Taoist finished the day's homework, he set off every day, and the sunset stopped, no more, no less, just a hundred miles every day.

The Taoist put away the peach branches.

"The benefactor wants me to have a bowl of tea?"

"Yes, I've always been going to do that, I know you're probably thirsty, and your lips are dry. ”

The two of them found a tea shop that opened on the official road where merchants and tourists frequently used to be, a pot of tea, and after the three bowls of tea bottomed out, the Taoist's lips finally moistened.

"Poor Dao knows that the donor has a lot of questions to ask, so ask them now. ”

"Well, then I'll be blunt. ”

Ah Niu smiled.

"I have seen a lot of Taoist priests in this world, but it is the first time I have seen you walking in the world, and only the three holy places of Taoism can come out of Taoist priests like you, I invite you to drink a bowl of tea You answer me a question, you drink three bowls of tea to answer me three questions, the first question, Taoist, where do you come from. ”

"I'm from Taiqingguan. ”

"Sure enough, as I expected, according to legend, the Taoist priest who walks in the world in the three holy places of Taoism is Zhu Feiyu, I heard that he is a very powerful person, I can see at a glance that it will not be you, because you don't have the courage to break the mountains and rivers with a sword. ”

The Taoist didn't speak, he was always expressionless, even if Ah Niu "humiliated" him in front of him like this.

It's very boring to chat with such a person, Ah Niu has always felt so.

"Then the second question, what is your name, Taoist? ”

"Yue Sanshan. ”

"Very good name, and one last question, I know that you will definitely leave after I answer the last question, so I suddenly don't want to ask, you Taoists pay attention to the heart without hindrance, you owe me a bowl of tea, it will definitely affect your Dao heart." I'm certainly not that bad, though. ”

Ah Niu grinned, he had two dimples, and if he lay flat on the ground, his dimples would definitely hold a spoonful of tea.

"I want to ask you, Daoist Yue, whether it is auspicious or evil for me to go to Taihu Lake this time, maybe you can help me push the show, I can decide whether to go or not. ”

"I can't push it out, I'm sorry, donor. ”

Yue Sanshan stood up and was about to leave without saying a word, but was stopped by Ah Niu.

"Aren't you a Daoist fooling me? Your Taoist supernatural powers are vast and rank among the three sects, how can you not push me out of an ordinary mortal good fortune and evil fortune?"

"The poor road has not deceived the little donor, it is true that it can't be deduced, the donor's life star is covered, there is no luck in the sky and the earth, don't say it's the poor road, I'm afraid that the heavenly gods can't push it out, but the poor road wants to send the little donor a word, what the future and destiny are, all in their own hands. ”

Ah Niu finally gave up, in his heart has divided this person into a category of charlatans, but only three bowls of tea, he invited, the right to do a good deed, Yue Sanshan continued to carry the peach branches on the road, but he no longer read the words, occasionally passing by businessmen will treat him as a disease, the right to see a madman or a charlatan.

Only twenty feet away from him heard a burst of iron armor coming.

Ah Niu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned his head and pretended to eat tea, originally thought that these seventy or eighty iron armor were for himself, but he never thought that he would directly bypass the tea shop and surround the middle-aged Taoist who walked out not far away and carried a peach wood branch and a wooden sword.

"Demon Dao, where to go, don't wait with me quickly to go back. ”

These seventy or eighty iron armors should also be under the command of Xuanyuan Hongtu, but he somehow stopped this Taoist, and only then did he hear this well-informed tea shop owner lower his voice.

"I have also heard this person mentioned by several groups of merchants who passed by before, saying that he met this person to confuse the people and confuse the people, and was wanted by the government, but I didn't expect to be caught here, I really don't know if it was bad luck or luck to be caught for so long. ”

Ah Niu looked at the middle-aged Taoist who was surrounded by a group, and he didn't panic at all, and his face was still expressionless even if his chin was provoked by a silver gun.

The same middle-aged man with the silver gun in hand sneered.

"Daoist, I heard that you have a sword that can seek good fortune and avoid evil, eradicate the demons in the world, and let the six realms return to their places, I don't know if your sword is the peach wood sword behind you. ”

"Yes. ”

The expressionless middle-aged Taoist nodded.

"In that case, then you should show me a show to see how your sword can return the six realms to its place, if it really can open our eyes, I will let you go, if not, you should probably guess what the consequences are. ”

"Official, the sword of the poor road only kills demons and evils, and it is not taken out at random to play with. ”

"What if I'm going to pull it out and play with it?"

The iron-armored man on horseback sneered, and reached out to probe the peachwood sword behind the middle-aged Taoist, only to see that the peachwood sword first rose to the sky under the noses of everyone, bringing up a red light, and then stayed in front of the Taoist for a while, and was shocked by the dozens of merchants and tea shops on the official road blocked by the iron armor, in an instant, the seventy or eighty iron armor of the official road instantly fell to the ground together with the horses, and the official road cracked with a bang and cracked twenty zhang long.

The Taoist still floated away with a peach tree branch in his hand, and Ah Niu vaguely seemed to hear the Taoist who was already a hundred feet away.

"Poor Dao has a good temper, but Poor Dao's sword may not have a good temper. ”
