Baishixian Road

Chapter 4
This time Xu Mo didn't hesitate, he ran out of the mountain temple and continued to run northward.

Because he was always worried that the man-eating tiger would come after him again, Xu Mo ran desperately all the way, and he would get nervous at the slightest disturbance.

Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way.

The tiger didn't come after him.

Obviously moving the mummy out was the right thing to do. Although I don't know what happened, it was obvious that the tiger was held back.

After turning over two hills in the dark, Xu Mo was exhausted, but he still had to grit his teeth and move on.

This time it was a record.

Walked the longest distance and survived longer than before.

You have to hold on to it.

It was only when Xu Mo, who was thirsty, realized that he had been walking all night without sleep.

Fortunately, he found a path ahead.

There are no roads in the barren mountains and ridges. Xu Mo has never encountered them all the way, and whenever there are trails, it is a sign of human activity.

The mood gradually became excited.

The tiredness and sleepiness in my body seemed to have weakened a lot. I walked down this forest path all the way down the mountain, and gradually became alive along the road. I heard the singing of birds and smelled the fragrance of flowers. It's past morning.

The sun is rising, and the morning mist is floating in the forest

After walking for a while, we have already descended the foot of the mountain, and we can faintly see the smoke from cooking in the distance.

Xu Mo quickened his pace, feeling very excited, suddenly saw a small river in front of him, a few women in ancient costumes were washing clothes in the river, and further away, there were children playing.

Over there, there is a village.

At this moment, Xu Mo wanted to cry.

Finally came out of this mountain alive.

……

Xu Mo sucked on the noodles.

Cooked with vegetables and soybeans, it didn't taste very good, but it was the best meal Xu Mo had ever eaten.

A man dressed as a mountain dweller on the opposite side said to eat slowly.

"If it's not enough, there are more!"

This thing is obviously a big noodle, but they call it 'Shuiyu Cake'.

This is 'Yijing Village', and the folk customs are simple and simple. Xu Mo met someone and said that he was lost in the mountains and forests.

Seeing that Xu Mo was indeed dressed in rags (he was cut by a branch while fleeing for his life), the warm-hearted mountain people looked downcast, but they talked and behaved well, so they didn't doubt him, so they kindly greeted Xu Mo to eat.

Xu Mo was really hungry. After showing off a bowl of noodles, he finally recovered.

After chatting, I also figured out some basic situations here.

This is indeed not the world Xu Mo lives in. Even if you look at it from the past dynasties, you can't find any one that matches it. Xu Mo reckons that the historical knowledge he learned when he was in school is useless.

The warm-hearted mountain man is called Chen He. He is not tall, but he is born with five big and three rough. His wife Li Shi is virtuous and quiet, and he is good at housework.

The noodles Xu Mo ate were made by others.

I also saw the furnishings in this house, including farm tools and hunting gear, and a piece of wild boar skin hanging on the wall.

It is estimated that hunting animals in leisure time and farming in busy time.

Thinking of that terrifying man-eating tiger, Xu Mo took a chance to ask.

"Zangwang Mountain is a man-eating tiger. No one in the ten miles and eight villages knows about it. This vicious tiger has been entrenched in Zangwang Mountain for many years and cannibalize countless people. The government has issued rewards for many years. There are people who beat the tiger, but they all go and never return. So this Mount Zangwang is a forbidden area, but as long as you don’t pass Jiangjun Ridge, you won’t enter the boundary of Mount Zangwang, and you won’t encounter that man-eating tiger.”

Hearing that Xu Mo had been to Zangwang Mountain, Chen He was extremely shocked, saying, brother, have you ever met a man-eating worm?Xu Mo shook his head, Chen He said that you are lucky.

At this time, Mrs. Li interjected: "The tiger in Zangwang Mountain has been making trouble since our grandfather's generation. How long has it been? I heard people say that the tiger has become a spirit."

"What is becoming a spirit, don't talk nonsense!" Chen He scolded his wife, saying that the woman didn't understand anything, and spread nonsense: "Beasts are beasts, and you don't listen to ghosts and demons, and don't believe them."

Hearing this, Xu Mo thought of what was recorded in "Piaoyun Essays", and his heart moved, and he tentatively asked some fairy tales. Chen He said that similar rumors have existed since ancient times, but no one has actually seen them. There are many charlatans who make a living.

Speaking of this, Chen He's expression and tone were full of hatred, as if he had a knot in his heart.

It is estimated that he was cheated and suffered a loss.

Seeing this, Xu Mo didn't want to ask too many questions.

He asked about the situation clearly, and after passing Yijing Village and walking for half a day, he could reach a small county called 'Lingshu County', which was crowded and lively.

If Xu Mo wanted to integrate into this world, he had to go.

He thought it over, since he had come out of Mount Zao, he couldn't go back.

Walk around more, look more, and verify that if you are not dead, will the cycle have an end, and if so, which step will you go to.

Chen He and Mrs. Li are very nice people. They not only provided food and drink, but also gave Xu Mo an old clothes.

Although the clothes are old and don't fit well, they are much better than the rags that were scratched by branches and stones before.Xu Mo thanked him, but he also remembered the kindness in his heart.

This is the grace of a meal.

When going out, I met a group of young men and women.

Not to mention handsome men and women, all of them are dressed in extraordinary clothes and carry weapons.Anyway, compared with the many villagers in Yijing Village, they seem out of place. In ancient times, they also belonged to the city people going to the countryside.

Xu Mo was curious and leaned over.

After listening to it, I realized that these ten men and women were actually exposing the list to eradicate the man-eating tiger.

The villagers of Yijing Village presumably were familiar with this kind of thing. It was men, women and children who joined the battle and tried every means to persuade this group of desperate people to go back.

It's just that the country people are sincere and just say don't go, if you can't, you will lose your life.

The other party didn't listen, so he asked if someone was willing to take them into the mountain, he would be very grateful.

Later an old man came and cupped his hands and said: "You young heroes, tigers have been rampant in the Tibetan King Mountain for many years. I don't know how many heroes have entered the mountain in the past few decades and never returned. Rivalry. I know that you young heroes are extremely vicious, but don't lose your life in vain."

"Hmph, you mountain and field farmer, how do you know what I'm capable of?" A man in white stood with his sword in his hands, with a look of disdain on his face.

It seems that he is the leader of this group.

"That's all, since no one wants to be a guide, let's go into the mountain on our own."

After speaking, the man in white walked forward quickly, very gracefully.

The rest of the men and women also laughed and walked into the forest one after another. They could vaguely hear them talking, saying that as long as they go forward for half a day and pass Jiangjun Ridge, they can enter the border of Mount Zao.

He also said that as long as they get rid of the vicious tigers in the mountains, they will definitely become famous, and they can be regarded as having made a name for themselves.

His speech and behavior did not take the tiger in the mountain seriously.

Xu Mo knew that the target of this group of people must be the giant tiger.

Or, follow these people to see?

But this thought was immediately dismissed by Xu Mo.

The reason is very simple, he was eaten by that tiger four times, if anyone in this world is most familiar with this tiger, Xu Mo said second, who can be the first?

Considering the size of the tiger, these ten people may not be opponents together, after all, it is in the middle of the mountain forest, and the tiger has an advantageous position.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether the ten people killed the tiger or the tiger ate the ten people, it has nothing to do with Xu Mo.

He is going to 'Spirit Tree County'.

Following the route Chen He said, the journey was uneventful.When taking a break on the way, Xu Mo took out the "Piaoyun Essay" on his waist to read it. When he arrived in Lingshu County, Xu Mo had finished reading the Piaoyun Essay.

To be honest, Xu Mo was a little disappointed.

Most of the essays are about experiences and travel notes from various places. Even if there are some related to cultivation, there are only a few words and phrases, and most of them are such as breakthroughs and insights.

Of course, it is not right to say that there is no such thing at all.

Have.

But very few, the most important thing is that Xu Mo can't understand.

For example, one of the sentences: To open up the spiritual consciousness and search for spiritual signs, the five methods are the basis. If you encounter a bottleneck, try the five methods one by one.

Another example: adjust the breath and absorb the qi. If the qi is impure, evil will be born, and the evil is difficult to get rid of. It should be suppressed with spiritual thoughts.

There are seven or eight sentences like this, and Xu Mo knows the characters, but he can't understand the meaning of them.

However, there is a very important clue, which is that Piaoyun Taoist hid some cultivation secrets at the feet of the Five Plague Gods in the 'Zhenyuan Temple'.

When Xu Mo saw this sentence, he became excited.

It's like a greedy pirate discovers the captain's treasure map, and he can't wait to find it immediately.

But reality poured cold water on Xu Mo.

Where is the 'Zhenyuan Temple'?
He is a foreigner, no, a person from another world, how can he know where 'Zhenyuan Temple' is, and there is no place name, so how to find it?
But anyway, this is also a clue worth looking forward to.

Xu Mo kept it firmly in mind, and wanted to find out, so he went straight to the 'Zhenyuan Temple' to learn the magic method and refine the immortal.

Since then, he has been at ease and has the ability. The first thing to do is to go back to Mount Zangwang and kill that vicious tiger that eats people.

Other contents in the essay also let Xu Mo understand this strange world from the side.

In addition to the cultivation method of immortality, what interests Xu Mo the most is that there is also the theory of 'martial arts' here.

Martial arts and internal strength all exist.

Thinking about it carefully, the ten young men and women I met before should be the so-called "young heroes".

Like a college student who just graduated, I feel like the boss is my second child.

Not only can you learn martial arts here, Xu Mo feels that he can also study and study when he has time.

Lingshu County and Xu Mo thought a little differently.

He had visited some historic sites in county towns, and they usually had city walls, but Lingshu County didn't have them, nor did they have city gates to guard them, allowing them to enter freely.Although it was already afternoon and the sun was hanging over the mountains, it was still very lively.

Or maybe in the past, Xu Mo stayed in the mountains for a long time and was eaten by tigers several times, so now he is inexplicably happy to see people coming and going.

At this moment, Xu Mo looked at the street in front of him, there were shops on both sides, daily sundries, snacks and restaurants, smelling the smoke and fire in this world, he immediately felt hungry.After all, he had only eaten two bowls of noodles in Yijing Village before, and he had already digested them all after half a day's journey.

But soon there was a realistic problem in front of Xu Mo.

He has no money.

Come into this world, into this new body, with nothing on you but rags and shoes.In this way, eating is a big problem.

And after a while it will be dark, where to sleep is another question.

At this moment Xu Mo was sleepy and hungry. Thinking about it, he was a modern person with all kinds of advanced knowledge. Could it be that in this backward era, he could still make a meal difficult?
The truth is such a truth, but when it is actually implemented, you will find out, where to start?What can I do to see immediate results?
After all, now that I am already hungry, I have to find a shelter from the wind and rain to sleep.

Making sugar and salt, or selling recipes?
Thoughts flashed through Xu Mo's mind, but they seemed unreliable.

There was no other way, Xu Mo could only wander around in Lingshu County while pondering. As he walked, he saw an open space in front of him, and a big tree was particularly conspicuous.

This Xu Mo heard from Chen He that Lingshu County was named after an ancient tree.Xu Mo looked up and saw that it should be an old cypress, quite thick and old at first glance.

After wandering around, Xu Mo didn't think of a way, and it was already dark at this time.

"Can a living person be suffocated by urine?"

Xu Mo was heartbroken, and ran to a restaurant, saluted first, and then wanted to eat on credit, but was chased away by the clerk with swear words, and tried again, still the same, obviously this method is not feasible.

Even if there is a rare recipe in exchange, it is only regarded as a liar.

And almost got beaten.

Later, he said that he could work as a helper, that is, "part-time job". As a result, people asked whether it was a local or a foreign country. The local people needed household registration, while the foreign people needed to have "directions".

Of course Xu Mo didn't.

I tried a few more, but they all hit the wall and were disheartened.

Squatting in the corner, Xu Mo lamented that life in another world is not easy, and was feeling melancholy, when he saw a familiar guy over there leading several men in jujube-colored round-neck robes rushing towards him.

As he walked, he pointed at himself.

Xu Mo's eyes were sharp, those men in jujube shirts seemed to have knives on their waists.

It should be a subordinate of the government.

Feel bad, but it's too late.

Xu Mo was interrogated on the spot, and after two or three sentences, he got out of the way and was tied up and taken away. He was searched, and Piaoyun's essay was also searched.

Not long after, Xu Mo was imprisoned in the government prison.
