Chapter 182 It’s spring and the flames are about to rise. It’s so fast that there’s no need to say goodbye (3)

After all, the title of Princess Ping'an was a good one, and all the cooks and their families were crying for their fathers and mothers, making the owner of the shop not sure what to do. When they met Li Lan and received the promise again, although they were still worried, they still felt worried.

None of the fellow shop owners made a fuss.

They arranged for the guest to stay in the inn's guesthouse, but even though the former refused to accept the offer, Li Lan still stuffed money into the guesthouse to cover the guest's expenses.

It was night, and Li Lan, who had planned to raise some soldiers and horses again, knew that the big demon was here to make all the ghosts around him flee for hundreds of miles, so he simply meditated on the moon for about an hour.

Go to bed early and recharge your batteries.

The spring breeze stirred up the new clothes, and under the soft light, the clothes looked a bit lonely. After all, they were not like those novels that Li Lan had read in the 21st century, how elegant and refined a white dress was.

The place circled on the Big Fish Demon Map is quite far away from Luoyang. It would take Li Lan three to five days if he hurried quickly, not to mention the preparations needed. Now there was no room for any delay, and Li Lan had no intention of doing so.

Go take care of these clothes.

"Is the princess leaving today?" As soon as the owner's wife entered the door, she saw Li Lan packing things in the room, "You haven't eaten yet, is it still too late for the princess to eat something before leaving?"

Looking at this person who is not much older than her own girl, a mother always feels a kind of love and affection that ordinary people cannot understand.

Obviously she should still be at the age where she can play and laugh with her parents at home, but she has to carry so much. The wife of the shop owner really felt distressed: "If the princess leaves without eating, her body will definitely be damaged after a long time."

It’s going to be bad.”

Listening to the words of a woman who was about the same age as Mother An, Li Lan couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. Although her current body was no longer as weak as before, Mother An would also be like this, reminding herself over and over again.

Thinking that his departure would be unlucky, Li Lan was silent for a moment when he remembered that he had not yet seen the child An Niang was pregnant with.

"It's a commoner's wife who has overstepped her bounds by talking too much. Don't blame me, Princess." This time, the shopkeeper's wife came to her senses and realized that the person in front of her was not her own child, so she stood up and bowed.

Although the Princess Ping'an in front of her has been doing things for ordinary people and Da Li, it is not her role that she should be responsible for. For a while, the woman didn't know how Li Lan would react, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't say that." When Li Lan came back to her senses, she hurriedly helped the person up, "I was distracted just now and didn't respond... I am the one who should be sorry."

Although the matter was urgent, the meal was worth the time. Li Lan thought for a moment, but still didn't want to reject this kindness, so he stayed in the guest house for more than an hour before setting off to leave...

…

After all, being a person in the 21st century, Li Lan couldn't ride a horse, so he had to hire a carriage, sit on it and sway towards the place marked on the map.

The carriage driver was found with the help of the owner of the shop. After knowing Li Lan's identity, he stopped disturbing him and concentrated on driving the carriage, so that Li Lan could have his own time and mood and make the necessary preparations.

The breeze moved the moon, and the stars pointed. Li Lan thought about An's mother and father An who were far away in Jingzhao City, and felt quite uncomfortable for a moment. If he really caused those monsters to harm him during this trip, he would only make his parents sad.

tight.

"Does the princess have to go?" I don't know what he thought of, but the coachman who said little along the way suddenly said, "Do you really want to go to that unfamiliar place alone?"

Different from the past, everyone Li Lan met this time seemed to think that it was a battle destined to end with no return - even Li Lan himself had this kind of premonition hidden in his heart.

With the plan that was disrupted by Li Lan time and time again for decades, and with the fact that Li Lan was asked time and time again to directly defeat the great demon in those decades until there was no trace of cultivation left, now, no matter it is an evil god,

It’s natural that these big demons can’t help but unite...

Li Lan's guess was certainly correct, but now Li Lan had no choice at all. If he ignored the lives of those people just to hide his selfish interests, it would go against what Li Lan was doing.

What's more, even if he can hide for a while, he can't hide for the rest of his life. From the previous battle in the valley, Li Lan realized that his arrival in the Nine Provinces Continent was not accidental.

Even the evil god's repeated attacks on him were not at all because he exposed the conspiracy behind Evian Guan's lineage. It was because Li Lan stopped his attack in time from the first confrontation with the evil god.

I won't let it go either.

"Since the princess has to go, we as common people can't do anything to help. We can only pray for the princess's health and success." It seemed that because Li Lan didn't respond, the coachman understood that this was acquiescence and had to go.

There is also a bit of sadness in it.

It was late at night, and after finding a suitable inn to rest, Li Lan settled down for himself and his party, and began to prepare for the next tough battle.

After setting up the altar and lighting up the incense, Li Lan smiled bitterly as he looked at the hexagram that had been printed. Now it was no longer as simple as "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but prefer to travel to the tiger mountains".

Take a break.

They suffered the loss of not having soldiers and horses before, but the soldiers and horses they have now are just summoned a few days ago, and they are definitely not good enough. The quality is not good, so they have to make up the quantity. Li Lan is not in the mood to control the divination, so he simply starts recruiting.

Raise troops and horses.

Although Li Lan is not from the Jiuzhou Continent, these days with the mentality of giving it a try, he also found that those heavenly soldiers and generals, and the soldiers and horses of the underworld can be summoned and used as he did over there in the 21st century.

It's just that because of the control of the evil god's lineage that day and the earth, most of the soldiers and horses they summoned would fight each other and lose most of them. If when it comes to fighting the monsters and ghosts, there are still those who hide in there and turn their backs on the battlefield.

Lan really couldn't imagine what would happen...

"Little Taoist priest, what did you ask us to do?"

He opened his mouth in a snarky tone, and it was obvious that what he had caused was not a good thing! Li Lan was not in a hurry, and just explained the matter in a way that the devil could understand.

"We won't do this life-or-death thing."

The ghost who was summoned is presumably the leader of the party, so naturally he will not take the monsters and ghosts at the same level as himself seriously: "What if we don't fight them, can we still be eaten by them?"

"Yes." Li Lan said without mercy.

"Then...what? Can, how is it possible?"

"How can their cultivation level be higher than mine? Besides, it's like water in a well but not in the river..." Sensing Li Lan's determined gaze, the ghost who was summoned became more and more guilty as he spoke, "Really, they can really eat us."

?”

Li Lan didn't reply, but the fright he brought to this ghost was no less than if Li Lan responded again.

"Well, wouldn't it be better if we don't follow you and stay away from you?" This ghost didn't want to get involved at all. He found a mountain to become his own king just to hide away and find a down-to-earth life.

If by chance, I can become that ghost fairy again and find a job in Jiuyou, it will be more leisurely than reincarnation.

"If you hide as far away as possible, they will find you one day. After all, your cultivation is very valuable in their eyes." Li Lan did not intend to threaten the ghost, but was telling the truth, "If that time comes,

I was defeated by them, and you will be next."

How could he not understand what the little Taoist priest in front of him said? Isn't this what humans often say, what is it called? "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold"? This made the ghost curse in his heart.

"Death early and death late are both deaths. I would choose to die later every day." This ghost said, but he was very honest and did not leave immediately. He obviously understood which one was more suitable behind this choice.

Li Lan just stood there and waited without saying anything. He would have figured it out on his own. If he didn't want to follow him, he didn't have to force himself. Otherwise, he would have wasted all his energy and would have troubled himself.

trouble.

Most of the stick of incense that I had just put on had burned out, and it seemed that about a quarter of an hour or two had passed. One person and one ghost were in a stalemate, until the ghost finally said: "I'll go and ask them if they are willing."

"

"After all, if you lose, I won't be the only one who is stunned."

This was a pun. After all, he was an old ghost for decades, and he was still very particular about his words. He also confirmed that Li Lan would not harm him, and made it clear that he would let his subordinates make the decision.

After the ghost left, Li Lan was not idle. He lit the talisman again and prepared some fruits and snacks he had just bought, just waiting for the mountain spirits and wild monsters nearby to come over...

Logically speaking, these are the lowest-grade soldiers and horses. In the 21st century, Li Lan would rather ask his master or brother to borrow them, or simply go find trouble with a fellow Taoist he is not familiar with, but would never choose this extreme.

It is easy to challenge things that are beyond one's control, and it is really helpless to do this now.

Suddenly there was a strong wind in the room, and Li Lan immediately knew that he had found something unruly and unruly, so he took out the mahogany sword from his sleeve without any hesitation, just in case.

Unlike the ghost who took the initiative to speak just now, this time this thing jumped up and down in the room for a while, causing the porcelain vase and glass cup placed on the table not far away to hit one place with a crackle, and the fragments were scattered everywhere.

land.

After causing harm to all these bottles and jars, this spirit was not idle at all, and began to blow the incense ashes on the altar. For a moment, the small room was filled with smoke, and Li Lan's temples followed the spirit's movements.

It jumps suddenly with every movement.

Seeing that the spirit still had no intention of calming down, she pushed open the wooden door and rushed to the yard to cause trouble. Li Lan couldn't bear it anymore: "If you don't stop, don't blame me for accepting you."

"I called you here in the middle of the night. I can understand your emotions, but nothing inside or outside this room belongs to me." Li Lan has already noticed that although this spirit is not low in cultivation, it is a pity that his mind is still that of a child of several years old.

I'm afraid I can't even explain the reason clearly.

Li Lan's guess was not only 100% correct, but also 110% correct. As expected, Laijing didn't even listen and started to rush into each other in the yard.

Listening to the squeaking swing of the swing in the yard, Li Lan tensed up helplessly: "If you disturb someone, or make someone sick because of your yin energy, don't blame me."

Destroy you."

Of course, these words are more of a scare. Apart from being really naughty and being very angry when getting up, this Lai Jing really hasn’t done anything he shouldn’t have done. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen Li Lan gesticulating with a mahogany sword.

, I was so frightened that I immediately behaved.

"Don't you know how to speak human language?"

Na Jing didn't respond for a long time, and Li Lan was still helpless and angry, so he was a bit arrogant for a while. When he said the words, he felt that it was not appropriate.

At this moment, both Li Lan and Lai Jing were stunned. Although Lai Jing didn't fully understand the meaning of these words, just by looking at Li Lan's suppressed smile after saying it, he knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

.

Maybe it’s a bad word to curse someone!

"Ahem..." After coughing twice, Li Lan finally relieved his embarrassment, "What I just meant is that you still don't understand human language very well now?"

Laijing saw that Li Lan really had the ability to get rid of him. No matter how naive he was, he still knew how to restrain himself. He kept nodding his head, but conveyed to Li Lan that he was not young, but older than Li Lan.

I don’t know how much it means.

But he didn't know this, and it made Li Lan feel that he was like a childish child - look at those naughty children in the 21st century, aren't they just what their parents are used to? Whenever they meet those who can really slap them to the ground.
To be continued...
