Xianlu

Chapter 115
The spring breeze was bitter, and the gate of the county seat was not closed yet. An old man guarding the gate against thieves was standing at the door tremblingly.

Suddenly, the old pawn saw a figure appearing in the distance. It was a dusty guy riding a donkey.

Seeing that there was only one person coming, the old pawn squatted, and immediately lowered his eyelids, not interested in taking another look.

The man who came riding on a donkey was exactly Xu Dao.

He was wearing a gray Taoist robe that he put on when he went down the mountain, and he had been running along the inhabited land for two or three days, passing by many villages.

Because using the Divine Walking Armor horsemanship would consume mana, when passing by a village, Xu Dao specially bought the donkey that he sat on for riding.

After these two or three days, he walked slowly. Fortunately, he also found that there were no pursuers chasing him.

Xu Dao secretly guessed that it should be the Taoist priests in the Temple of the White Bones who are still digesting their gains in retreat, so they have no time to pay attention to him at all.

This completely relieved him.

As he knew, apart from the Taoist disciples in the late stage of Qi refining who would be left with soul lamps for special attention, the other disciples of the Temple of White Bones were free to come and go, and they were properly reared.

However, according to Xu Dao's understanding, once a disciple in Guanzhong "disappears" for more than half a year without any reason, Guannei will directly identify him as "betrayal" and issue a hunting mission, sending his disciples to investigate and hunt him down.

Because of the assistance of various spells, the completion rate of such hunting missions is quite high.

Fortunately, the White Bone Monastery is short of manpower right now. Even if Xu Dao is famous among the Taoist priests in the temple, unless the Taoist priests come to find him in person, when the courtyard is up and running again and free up manpower to investigate Xu Dao, at least he can It must be a year later.

And Xu Dao thought to himself that although he was listed in Taoist Records, according to the attitude of Taoist priests towards the disciples of the Temple of White Bones, he is not very qualified to be chased and killed by Taoist priests himself.

After all, for the Taoist priests of the Temple of the Bone, the status of Taoists who refine Qi is similar to that of eating food. Later Taoist priests may be worthy of their own efforts, but those of other realms are not worth it.

However, if Xu Dao stayed in the Bone Temple for a few more days, and let the Taoist in the temple realize that he could enter the late stage of Qi refining in a short time, the situation would definitely change.

This is also an important reason why he immediately decided to abandon the view and leave after he had found out the truth about the view of bones, and time will not wait for him!

Riding the donkey staggeringly, Xu Dao thought about it, and saw the gate of the county seat appearing in his eyes.

He immediately gathered his thoughts and urged the donkey to the door.

"May I ask where in the city is the most crowded and the most convenient place to get news?" Xu Dao was riding on a donkey, leaning over to ask the old soldier at the door.

When the old pawn heard it, he just pricked up his ears and pointed to a two-story shop in the county without raising his head.

Xu Dao replied: "Thank you."

He threw two copper coins from his sleeve and threw them directly into the old pawn's arms, then he kicked the donkey and rattled into the county town.

The old guard at the door noticed the copper plate in his arms, and quickly reached out to grab it, feeling that it wasn't so cold in early spring.

On the other side, Xu Dao rushed to the direction the old pawn pointed, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a teahouse.

As soon as he arrived at the door, without waiting for him to greet him, there was a waiter in the store immediately opened the bamboo curtain and peeped out.

Xu said to the donkey, and the other party came over immediately, and shouted: "Guest officer, please! There is a stable behind."

Handing over the donkey to the other party, Xu Dao stepped directly into the teahouse with a cold wind.

Walking into the house, a burst of hot breath came to the face, and at the same time, there were noisy voices in the ears.

There are people knocking teacups, smoking pipes, peeling peanut shells, moving tables and chairs, and there are also the sounds of tea shop guests sipping tea and chatting.

A burst of smoke rushed into Xu Dao's ears and eyes, making his heart instantly warm.

On a table in the middle of the tea shop, there was an old storyteller, holding a piece of Xingmu, smashing it, his lips trembling:

"300 years ago, there was a country leader who took a dragon stick and brought down [-] mountains, wiped out the demons, and cleared the territory of Wu."

"Nowadays, there is another national teacher who participates in Xuanwu Dao, with boundless mana power. He focuses on clearing mountains and rivers, and reshaping the gods of mountains and rivers..."

Hearing what the storyteller said, Xu Dao raised his brows, found a table by himself and sat down, and then he sounded one after another.

There were not too many people in the teahouse, quite a few pairs of eyes glanced over, Xu Dao didn't pay much attention.

It didn't take long before the little second came up to him in a hurry, made him a cup of hot tea quickly, and said, "Is the guest officer a top student or staying in the hotel, there are many vacant rooms upstairs!"

Xu Dao said casually: "Take the tip. Pick up two of the signature dishes in the store, and then don't leave. I have something to ask."

"Okay!" Xiaoer nodded in response, first turned his head and called into the store a few times, then took out a rag, wiped the table and said:
"Guest officer, if you have anything to ask, just say it! Our store is well informed, and you are satisfied with the discipline."

Hearing this, Xu Dao couldn't help but nodded.

Since he got off the Baigu Mountain, he walked southeast along the populated area, thinking along the way if he could run into a convoy heading to Shezhao, so that he could be a partner.

But unfortunately, he didn't meet any of them, so he could only go to a nearby county to inquire first.

Xu Dao said: "A certain family has something to go to Shezhao. Is there an escort in the city, or a convoy? Let's talk about the situation at Shezhao."

"Yo!" Hearing this, Xiao Er stopped cleaning the table and replied:

"It's a bit far away, and it's very remote. There are all kinds of strange things in the mountains, and there are many wolves, tigers and leopards on the road. I heard that there are monsters blocking the way and eating people!"

"I often hear people in the store say that there will be people from the mountains running all the way from there to buy women and give birth to babies in the mountains, but few people go there. Our place can be much more lively than that. Customers What are you going to do?"

Xiao Er said, then changed the subject, and said: "But I heard that the fur and silk at Shezhao are unique. Our place is close to that, there is a shortcut, there is no need to take a long way, but there are convoys who venture there... "

Having said that, Xiao Er's movements slowed down.Seeing it, Xu Dao took out a few silver beans from his sleeve and put them on the table.

Seeing Yindou, Xiaoer hurriedly said, "It's a coincidence that the guest officer is here!"

"Last night, a convoy came all the way to deliver goods to Shezhao. Now they are resting in Liujiazhuangzi outside the city. It is estimated that they will leave tomorrow morning."

"If you want a partner, you have to go early."
