the only savior

Chapter 737 Pei Laoliu's Journey to Another World ([-])
From Dongyuan Village, hundreds of miles to the south, is Hanyue City.

As the transportation hub to the north of the Dafu Dynasty, Hanyue City was very prosperous.

The population here has reached several million, even compared to the modern cities on the water blue planet, it is already comparable.

It took Pei Laoliu less than half an hour to get here from Dongyuan Village.

He is quite proficient in the use of sword control, even with a small follower and a dog, his speed is not much slower.

But for him, it was a slowdown, but for Li Qiang, a native, it was a fairy trick that he couldn't even dream of.

Even the best hunters will have to walk for seven or eight days on a mountain road of hundreds of miles.

But when it comes to Xianchang, it's just a stick of incense and it's over.

He swore that he would never forget the experience of flying in the clouds.

Now, he looked at Pei Laoliu with even more eager eyes, and the desire to ask for immortality was almost written on his face.

Sixth Master can naturally see what Li Qiang is thinking.

It's just that he himself doesn't know what to do now, how can he make promises to others?

This kid looks quite agile, although because he has lived in the mountains for a long time, he is ignorant of world affairs and has limited cognition.

But he has a good heart, at least he has the courage and benevolence that ordinary people can hardly possess.

This can be seen from the several choices he made when facing the matter of the snake demon.

Therefore, Liu Ye was also a little conflicted.

Deliberately want to cultivate this kid, and even accept him as a disciple.

But due to some reasons of my own, I can't agree at will, lest I make a promise at that time, but it can't be fulfilled, which makes people sad for no reason.

Now, he brought Li Qiang to this Hanyue City together. It is true that he needs a guide, but he wants to test him.

After all, he is an ordinary mountain villager, and he has only been here once, so how can he be a guide.

The two settled down on the outskirts of Hanyue City and headed for the city along the official road.

They didn't bring much to salute, but Li Qiang carried his own change of clothes on his back, and brought some money, and set off lightly.

Pei Laoliu didn't know how long the scraps of money in this kid's backpack would last. Anyway, it looked like it wouldn't last for a few days. His first priority was to find a way to get some money.

As the saying goes, it is easy to do things with money, even if he is an "immortal elder".

After all, when you are away from home, you cannot avoid food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. If you don’t have money, it’s hard to grab everything.

The two walked south for about five miles, passed by a herbal tea shop and drank some tea to quench their thirst, and continued walking for another five miles before arriving at Hanyue City.

The city wall of Hanyue is five feet high, and the city gate is even eight feet high. There is an endless stream of people passing through the city, accompanied by yelling and hawking. It looks very lively.

It was also the first time for Pei Laoliu to come to such a place. In the past, he could only see this kind of scene on TV. He didn't expect that one day it would actually be shown in front of his eyes.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he had never heard of the name Dafu Dynasty, he would even have thought that he had traveled back to ancient times.

"Xianchang, this is the north gate of Hanyue City. The people who come and go are villagers from outside the city, and the number of people is not too large. If it is replaced by the other three gates, it will be really scary. The last time I I went to see it once with my father, and I almost got separated! I have lived in Dongyuan Village all my life, and I have never seen so many people!"

Li Qiang said from the side, his words were full of longing for the outside world.

Pei Laoliu imagined such a scene, and was very moved in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Dafu Dynasty was so prosperous. A frontier city has such a scale. The city wall is as high as a modern five-story building, and the population is not too much. If it is the capital here, what will it look like?
The two entered the city one after the other, but they were not blocked by the guards at the city gates. Now that the Dafu Dynasty is prosperous, the barbarians are retreating, the world is peaceful, and the entry and exit of various city gates have been relaxed a lot.

One old, one young and one dog wandered around the city first, experienced the bustle of this ancient market, and went to the canal in the city to enjoy the local beauty, and then found an inn settle down.

It was already noon, and it was the busiest time in the restaurant. Pei Laoliu and Li Qiang also searched for many places in a row before they found a place with a vacancy.

"Xianchang, I heard that this is the most famous restaurant in the northern generation of Hanyue City. The dishes here are the best at the moment, and the chef's craftsmanship is also one of the best. I have never eaten those things in Dongyuan Village..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely on his face. He recalled that when he came here with his father, he only dared to look at the door from a distance. How dare he come in to eat and drink?
But it's different now. As a member of Dongyuan Village, I have to entertain this distinguished guest who saved the village, so naturally I won't be reluctant to part with some money.

What's more, the fairy elder's magic power is supernatural, and it only takes a moment to come and go from a hundred miles away. Such a method is simply unheard of for him.

He really wanted to worship under the sect of the Immortal Head and seek the Dao of Longevity, so how could he be timid in these aspects.

Although Li Qiang is poor, he is not stupid. He knows what to do at what time.

Pei Laoliu stroked his beard, sat on the bench made of mahogany, sipped the wine in the bowl with his eyes slightly squinted, and seemed to be at ease.

"Tsk tsk, I always feel that something is missing. It turns out that my old goose is gone..."

He shook his head slightly, feeling sorry for himself.

Now I am in this quaint restaurant, with some side dishes on the table and a jug of fine wine in my hand, wouldn't it be more beautiful if I could serve such a two-pound old goose?

"Unfortunately, unfortunately..."

Sixth Master sighed, and took another sip of the wine, but the more he tasted it, the more tasteless he became.

"Such a beautiful day, with wine and meat, why does this senior sigh repeatedly?"

Suddenly a voice came in from the side.

Pei Laoliu turned his head and saw a young man in white.

After the man finished speaking, he cupped his hands, the sword in his hand was gorgeous and extravagant, and it could be seen at a glance that it was not ordinary.

"My humble Yan Jiantong, may I sit here?"

Pei Laoliu looked around, and sure enough, the restaurant was overcrowded, and the person in front of him wanted to share a table with him.

He nodded, raised his hand and said:
"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

The man sat down straight away, and called Xiao Er to order some dishes, and then he looked at the two people in front of him carefully.

The combination in front of him was very strange, one old, one young, plus a dog. Although Hanyue City was huge, such a weird combination was rare.

That young man was easy to say, he looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his clothes were plain and unpretentious. He looked like a mountain dweller from the mountains.

On the contrary, it was the old man, with a rosy face, full of vigor, and wearing gorgeous but unrecognizable clothes. He was very extraordinary, which made him feel unfathomable.

Even the black dog was the same. Even though it was just lying quietly at the old man's feet, its ears were pricked up, its muscles were tense, and it looked like it was ready to go, giving people a dangerous feeling.

Although Yan Jiantong is young, he is already a well-known master in the world, even if he is facing some first-class top fighters, he will not be like this.

Now, he experienced this dangerous aura from one person and one dog, which made him angry and curious.

"Senior, meeting here recently is considered a predestined relationship. I don't know the senior's name, so why did you sigh?"

Pei Laoliu looked at him and became interested in this young man.

This man was dressed like a gentleman in white, but he had a sword on his waist, and he kept calling himself a senior.

This made him immediately think of some scenes in martial arts TV dramas. The people in front of him looked very similar to those people in the martial arts world walking in the rivers and lakes.

After coming to this world, he will not be able to go back for a while, so he simply let go of his heart now, let's experience the ancient leisurely life he once imagined here.

Now that I saw such a person who looks like a warrior, I was naturally interested and planned to chat with him.

"Pei Daoyi, the successor of the Taiyi sect of Pindao, used to travel and travel when he was young, and fellow Taoists like to call me Liu Ye."

"Master Six...?"

Yan Jiantong muttered softly, but he couldn't remember that there was such a number one person in Jianghu.

"Wait, senior, did you just say you were a Taoist priest?"

He realized what Pei Laoliu said just now, and he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be a Taoist priest.

"No, no, I am a cultivator, not a Taoist priest as you know."

Old God Pei Laoliu said on the ground.

"A cultivator..."

Yan Jiantong had a strange expression on his face.

The person in front of him said that he was not a Taoist priest, but someone who practiced Taoism, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Now he even began to wonder if he had misjudged himself today.

The other party is not a senior person at all, but just a liar who walks the rivers and lakes.

It may be because the opponent's camouflage technology is too strong.

After all, there are no people who practice Taoism in this world at all, and this has been confirmed by the current sage long ago.

I heard that the Holy Majesty has longed for Taoism since he was a child, and he would always find some so-called monks to develop longevity medicines on weekdays.

After he came to power, he ordered the whole country to search for the masters of Taoism, poured a lot of manpower and material resources, and almost searched all the famous mountains in the fairyland of the Dafu Dynasty. A place where people criticize.

However, even with such a nationwide search, they were unable to find any traces of ascetics in the end.

Those monks hired by the court were found to be deceiving His Majesty.

The longevity medicines that are refined are actually miscellaneous pills, some of which even contain toxins, and long-term use will cause great damage to the body.

In his anger, the Emperor killed all the worshiping monks, burned the alchemy books handed down by them, and left ten words:

There is no way in the world, and those who speak lies will die!
This move immediately spread throughout the Dafu Dynasty.

There are loyal veterans with tears streaming down their faces, sighing that the Son of Heaven has learned from the precipice, reining in the precipice, and never walking the vain way of longevity of the ancient faint king.

There are also enemy spies who secretly lamented that it is a pity that the rise of the Dafu Dynasty is really unstoppable.

The most unlucky ones are those monks who claim to be ascetics.

Including some serious Taoist priests, this group of people were branded as liars, arrested and beheaded.

In this way, almost the people of the entire Dafu Dynasty now know that there are no ascetics in this world, let alone immortals.

His Majesty the Emperor has already said so, so how could it be false?
Of course, the imperial power in this world is also different from that in ancient China.

What they pay more attention to is strength.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty, who is the "son of heaven", say the words "there is no way in the world" like this.

At this time, after Yan Jiantong heard that Pei Laoliu claimed to be a monk, the expression on his face became more and more weird.

This feeling is like a wanted criminal, standing on a high platform in the city center, shouting loudly that he has killed someone, it is simply that he doesn't die fast enough.

But Pei Laoliu didn't know this at all, he was still squinting his eyes slightly, shaking his head and sighing.

"Hey, although this restaurant is good, it doesn't have the salted goose from my hometown. Even if it's a delicious side dish, if it lacks a little taste of hometown, it will be tasteless."

As he spoke, he casually threw a chicken bone to Dahei who was afraid of being aside.

The latter picked up the bone and ate it with relish, making a series of "click, click, click" sounds.

When Yan Jiantong came back to his senses, he smiled awkwardly, relieved the stiff expression on his face, and said following Master Liu's words:

"Yan has also been away from home for many years and has not returned. What the Taoist priest said made Yan feel a little sad... By the way, dare to ask where is Changxian Township? Where are you from?"

Pei Laoliu took a sip of wine and said:

"What about me? My hometown is in a place you haven't heard of. Every midsummer there will be full of viburnum flowers, which is extremely beautiful. There is also delicious salted goose, which is my favorite taste in my life. Unfortunately, in I can't eat here..."

"Then, since that's the case, why didn't the Taoist priest go back?"

Pei Laoliu put down his wine glass, and said with deep eyes:
"I can't go back, it's not the same world as this place, how do I go back?"

"Isn't it a world? Could it be that the Taoist priest's hometown is in the fairy world?"

"Is it the fairyland... Yes, no... What's the difference to you?"

Yan Jiantong saw his inscrutable appearance, but he had some calculations in his heart.

This old man must be playing tricks, and there must be some bloody disaster to tell himself later.

After all, there are not even ascetics in this world, so what are you talking about in the fairy world?It's just so insulting.

However, Li Qiang on the side didn't know this.

As a villager of Dongyuan Village, he rarely had contact with the outside world, let alone the Dao extermination incident a few years earlier, he had never heard of it at all.

So when Pei Laoliu said that he was a cultivator, he and the villagers of Dongyuan Village were only suspicious.

Now, after hearing about Liu Ye's hometown, he also showed a thoughtful look.

He immediately remembered that when the other party showed him the map before, he seemed to have mentioned the words "teleport" and "go back", and he couldn't help asking:

"Xianchang, the map you showed us earlier, could it be related to your hometown?"
