Chapter 28: The Lv Family
"Hey! This kind of thing is not to be feared, when you go out of town just get together and have more people." Lu Scholar Yuan spoke to Li Huo Wang about his experience.
"Oh? If there are more people, those things won't dare to make a move?"
"No!" Lu Zuoyuan refilled his cigarette and continued to smoke, "How many people can it eat? If you really encounter it, just run faster than others, worry about this rather than worrying about the silver robbing and killing horses and the big bugs in the forest that eat people."
Li Huowang for a moment do not know how to pick up, himself and he seems to chat with him can not go together.
"Come, come, the bun is baked, eat it while it's hot." Several white steamed buns skewered with tree branches and baked to a charred color were sent over by Luo Silk Flower.
Li Huowang took them and handed them to the boy at the side, these were the ones he picked up halfway.
As soon as these guys saw that they were able to leave Qingfeng Guan, they didn't care about anything and rushed out directly, without any consideration for the follow-up.
By the time he met them on the road, he was about to faint from hunger.
As a fellow disciple, Li Huowang can't really stand by and watch them not care, so he took them all along the way.
See there is hot food, the other people are not polite, so late in the evening really a little hungry, grabbed up a big mouthful of food.
Look at that stupid big mouthful of one, Lu Zuoyuan corner of the eye straight twitching, this can be white bread ah, they usually can not afford to eat it, if I had known just don't be so generous.
Just at this time, Li Huowang's sentence let him not care about the heartache. "Abbot, do you have a map? To tell you the truth, we are not locals, we are a bit confused walking in the forest here, we don't know where this is."
Yes, Li Huowang had gotten lost before, there were the same forests everywhere, he couldn't get his bearings at all, and asking the others was useless.
They came from the south and north of the sky, and said that they were head over heels about where their homes were, but when asked where they were currently, none of them could tell.
To cover his tracks, it looked as if Danyangzi wasn't looking for a medicine guide nearby.
"What? A map? No, but I know all the roads here, where are you going, ask me!"
"Well, a lot of places, you old see which one is closest." Li Huowang pulled out a large pile of slips of paper from his sleeve.
"What ah? What's written here?" Scholar Lu pulled the note away from him, his face full of creases piled together as he strained to look at it.
Although his name was Scholar Yuan, if he really was Scholar Yuan, he wouldn't have come out to sing in the opera.
Lu Scholar Yuan recognized words, but not much, in Li Huowang's translation, he finally understood all the addresses above.
At least he is an old master who has been traveling for so many years, not to mention other things, Lu Scholar Yuan still knows a lot about geography.
However, just because he knew where these places were didn't mean that Li Huowang could easily go over there.
"Well, how come there is even Liang, wasn't this at war with our Qi some years ago?"
Lu Zuoyuan squatted down and scratched the ground with the head of his dry tobacco stick, a simple map was presented in front of Li Huowang.
If one were to use a phrase to describe the map he drew, it would be a big piece of cake falling on the ground, the whole thing falling to pieces.
At the moment their position was in the upper left corner of the large pie, moving from left to right, with various large and small countries interspersed with each other.
"It looks like this is a bit like the past when there was no great unification during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms." Li Huo Wang looked at the map on the ground and said in his heart.
Although he said that he didn't hold any hope, but when he saw this map, he was sure that he really didn't travel to a certain dynasty in ancient times, but a more special place.
"Old man I catch the theater also just run in the north of this territory, this piece I know, but out of the country, I really can not figure out where with where. I've heard that the opera they sing is different from ours."
Bai Lingmiao, who was beside her, heard this and immediately felt a tightening in her heart, her family was in the Niuxin Mountain of the Liang Kingdom, and it sounded like her family was far, far away from here.
Li Huowang keenly sensed her dissimilarity and followed her with a reassuring look. "Don't panic."
Lu Zuoyuan looked at the strange dozen or so people in front of her, and her mind, which had been suppressed by fear, suddenly came to life again.
"That, this little Taoist master, look, there's a Jianye town at the top of your note, and we, the Lu Family Class, just happen to be on our way!"
"Hey, hey, how about we hitch a ride?"
"Jianye Town? Whose is this?" Li Huowang rummaged through the note.
"Senior Brother Li, my home is in Jianye Town." Zhao Wu, who was on the side, suddenly spoke up.
"And there's also a dart board in the town, you just need to give them silver, and the note from Nanping can be delivered to them on your behalf."
Hearing this, Li Huowang didn't hesitate and tucked the paper back into his arms. "Alright then, old abbot, I'm counting on you to show me the way on this journey. Let's partner up and go to Jianye."
Whether it was map information or otherwise, relying on this old Ban Master's side of the story was a bit unconvincing.
Regardless of whether it was to look for the black taiyou who could suppress one's hallucinations, and to send a message to the others, one would first go to a place like the town where information flowed before saying anything else, and the food was pretty much eaten.
And if possible, Li Huowang also wanted to look for the so-called famous sect.
Such a dangerous place, no strength but really can not, anyone can be randomly ravaged, one does not want to be another Danyangzi randomly captured.
Smiling Lu Zuoyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "Ai ai ai, you are welcome, where is the word where is the word."
On his lips, Lu Scholar Yuan's heart is happy to open the words, with such a high person as a companion, this is a free dart master ah!
This trip down, at least those white flour buns and five salted duck eggs just earned back.
"Ha~" The fool on the side gave a big ha cut, he was full and wanted to sleep.
Looking at the others with misty eyes, Lu Scholar knowingly stood up. "Without noticing it's been chatting until the second night, Little Taoist Master, then you guys rest first, I'll keep watch."
"No need, it's better for me to keep watch today." Li Huowang was not being polite, but he was just trying to prevent people from getting hurt.
After tossing for so long, everyone is also tired, two groups of people with different purposes around the warm campfire into a dream, while Li Huowang and Lu Zuoyuan, who are sitting there alone, look at each other speechlessly.
Early the next morning, Li Huowang was woken up by Dogwa, who had been keeping watch for the rest of the night. "Senior Brother Li, the theater troupe and the others are packing up."
"Let's go, we'll set off as well." Li Huowang, who was carrying a longsword and a stone tablet, stood up and led the others to follow the footsteps of the theater troupe.
Having just hit the road, both sides were obviously a bit formal, neither of them had anyone to speak to, stealing a few glances from time to time and whispering something after their own companions.
However, this does not include the leader Li Huowang and Lu Scholar Yuan, along the way, the two people chatting happily.
Li Huowang wanted to get more information about this place from Lv Scholar, while Lv Scholar wanted to get closer to the master, anyway, pretty words don't cost money, so there's no harm in saying a few more words.
Hahaha."
