Chapter 4289 4291 [Strike first to gain the upper hand]

After returning to the dilapidated temple where they lived, Xiang Nan harnessed the "Double Dragon Cart" and set off with Xu Ziling.

The so-called "Double Dragon Carriage" is actually just a broken horse-drawn carriage, but it calls itself a "Double Dragon Carriage" just to claim credit for it.

When they settled in this village, they made a living by doing odd jobs for others, such as plowing the fields, applying fertilizers, watering, building walls, grinding mills, etc., just like Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q".

They didn't want to make money, they just wanted a meal, and they were young and strong, so they could support themselves. But now it was clear that they couldn't stay here anymore, so they had to leave quickly.

"Alas, we have changed villages three times in the past six months." Xu Ziling sighed, "Where should we go next, Master Zhong?"

"I heard that there is a Shilong Taoist temple in Yangzhou, and there is a Shilong Taoist priest who has great martial arts skills." Xiang Nan said, "Why don't we go and learn from him?"

"Even if I go there, they may not accept me." Xu Ziling shook his head.

"Well, if I go, I might get it, or I might not. There's always a chance." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But if I don't go, I won't have any chance at all."

"That's right." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Yangzhou. Anyway, we have been wandering around since we were young, and we are used to being rejected by others when we want to become disciples."

"Don't be so discouraged. I have a feeling that this time it will work." Xiang Nan said with a smile, and urged the horse, "Gee~"

As soon as I walked out of the dilapidated temple, I saw the villagers standing at the entrance of the temple.

"Mr. Zhong, look, the villagers are reluctant to let us go, and they must be here to comfort us and keep us." Xu Ziling said happily when he saw them.

"Open your blind eyes and look carefully. Don't you see that they are holding clods of earth and stones in their hands?" Xiang Nan said, "Does this look like they want to keep us here?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the villagers threw clods of earth and stones at him.

"Ouch~" In an instant, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling were hit several times.

Xiang Nan was fine, but Xu Ziling couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hands to block it and shouted, "Stop smashing it, spare my life~"

Their horses were also hit a few times and rushed forward like crazy, scaring the villagers so much that they didn't care about hitting people and dodged everywhere. Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling also escaped.

……

The two then drove the carriage all the way to Yangzhou.

"Oh, now I really have no choice but to go." Xu Ziling sighed.

"Young Master Ling, don't be so discouraged." Xiang Nan advised with a smile, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Actions have three parts of luck'. What can we achieve if we stay in this village? The world is vast and there is a lot to do. I always believe that you and I are not ordinary people, and we will definitely achieve something great."

"Mr. Zhong, I really admire you. You are always so optimistic." Xu Ziling couldn't help but admire him when he heard him say that.

"The most important thing in life is to be happy." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Well, you see, as soon as I said there was a treasure to be picked up, I picked it up immediately."

Xiang Nan suddenly jumped off the carriage and went into the woods beside the road.

"Hey, Master Zhong, where are you going? Come back soon. I can't see the road clearly without you driving." Xu Ziling shouted hurriedly.

It turned out that when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were wandering, they mistakenly believed the advice of a so-called hero, who said that the most important thing in practicing martial arts is to practice eyesight. And if you want to practice eyesight, you have to look at the sun.

As a result, Xu Ziling believed it and really stared at the sun, which caused his eyes to be burned by the sunlight. Now he is almost half blind and everything he sees is blurry.

Without Xiang Nan's guidance, it would be really difficult for him to move forward.

"Stop shouting, I'm back, I'm back." Xiang Nan said, carrying a big fat rabbit back to the car, "Look, I just caught it. How about it, I can have a good meal tonight."

"Wow, you're really good. Such a fat rabbit~" Xu Ziling was very happy when he saw it. ...

In the evening, Xiang Nan stopped the car and prepared to rest on the spot.

He bled the rabbit, skinned it, removed the internal organs, and then roasted it over the fire. With his skills, even with just a simple seasoning of salt, the taste was quite good, at least Xu Ziling ate it with applause and almost swallowed his tongue.

“Wow, Master Zhong, when did you become such a good cook? The food is really delicious.” Xu Ziling exclaimed while eating.

"It's not that good. We haven't eaten meat for a long time, so you think it tastes good." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling made a living by doing odd jobs. The most they ate were coarse grains such as sorghum, millet and black beans. There were even times when they could not find work and had no food to eat.

"No, I really think it's delicious." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, although he was really hungry and hadn't eaten meat for a long time, this roasted rabbit was really delicious. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of saltiness, and it was really delicious.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Xiang Nan said with a smile and handed a roasted rabbit leg to Xu Ziling.

After finishing their meal, they rested in the car.

"I hope that after we arrive in Yangzhou, Taoist Shilong will accept us as his disciples." Xiang Nan said to Xu Ziling.

"Why, do you really want to become his disciple?" Xu Ziling asked curiously after hearing this.

"I heard that if you practice martial arts well, your eyes will be sharper. If your eyes can be cured, I will kowtow to Taoist Shilong and call him dad." Xiang Nan said.

"Mr. Zhong~" Xu Ziling was very moved when he heard him say that.

"It's all my fault. I believed a bastard's words and forced you to look at the sun to train your eyesight, which ended up damaging your eyesight." Xiang Nan said again.

"Don't blame yourself, Master Zhong. I'm just stupid. My eyesight is not good, but I still practiced foolishly..." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "You are smart. You stopped practicing after two days."

"I just felt lazy and didn't practice. The daylight is so dazzling that I would feel dizzy if I looked at it for one more second. It's you who has the endurance to hold on." Xiang Nan explained.

"There is gain and loss," Xu Ziling consoled himself, "Although my eyesight is much worse, my ears are sharper than yours. If gold falls to the ground, I promise I can pick it up faster than you."

"That's true. Let's go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow." Xiang Nan laughed.

Xu Ziling nodded and soon fell asleep.

……

After Xiang Nan waited for him to fall asleep, he jumped out of the car and cast a daydream spell on Xu Ziling to help him have a good dream.

He then cast Muggle-shielding spells and safety spells around the place to prevent thieves and wild animals from attacking at night.

After finishing his work, he took out his flying sword and rushed all the way to Yangzhou.

He wanted to steal the "Secret of Immortality" first.

Because in the TV series "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the process of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling obtaining the "Secret of Immortality" was very coincidental.

When they were on their way to Shilong Dojo, they happened to see Fu Jun'er fighting with Shilong. Just when both of them were injured, Yu Wenzhi came to rob them.

Therefore, in order to get rid of Yu Wenzhi, Fu Jun'er hid the "Secret of Immortality" in the carriage of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and that was how they got the "Secret of Immortality".

It can be said that if there was any mistake in the process, the "Secret of Immortality" would never have fallen into their hands.

Xiang Nan naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he decided to strike first.
