A few days passed by.

Since leaving Yandu Tianshi Academy, Shang Ye has perfectly explained what it means to "measuring mountains and rivers with two feet". He has almost used the same energy as before to open up new maps with his team and ran around. The difference is that before, it was a lively group of people.

We were busy sightseeing, now we are traveling just for the sake of traveling.

On this day, I passed a market on Shangye Road and saw a middle-aged man with a simple face standing on the street holding a big black horse. The horse had a grass ring on its head, which meant it was for sale.

Shang Ye thought for a while. The journey was long and he had some money, so he might be able to buy a horse to travel. Although in his current situation, an ordinary horse might just be a one-time consumable.

After all, most of the time, he doesn't even care about himself.

Shang Ye walked forward, and the man was stroking the big black horse's neck, as if to comfort it.

"This old man is selling horses?"

The man looked at Shang Ye's robe, a little confused, but still clasped his fists and said: "As I said, sir, it's for sale."

It is normal for outsiders to be doubtful, because few members of the Tianshi Taoist sect ride on the road.

"May I ask the price?" Shang Ye asked.

"Fifteen taels, no..." When the man said this, he hesitated and did not say the "two prices" that followed. Perhaps he was concerned about the identity of the person in front of him.

Shang Ye nodded and then looked at the horse. The man introduced him to the big black horse.

Shang Ye didn't know how to look at horses, and his listening was in vain, so what he saw was people.

This man has a strong body, breathes calmly, and has calluses on his right palm and fists. Even if he sees Shang Ye's identity as a heavenly master, he is not too flattering. He must be a warrior who has traveled through the world and has some experience.

However, there is no weapon on him. Although the clothes are clean, they are a bit shabby, and he is still selling horses...

"Heitan has a docile personality. As long as you treat it well, you will be satisfied..."

Shang Ye could tell from his look and words that this man liked this horse very much and he must be an old friend who has been with him for many years.

"Why are you willing to sell such a good horse?" Shang Ye asked casually.

"Hi..." The man forced a smile and replied: "It's just a small stumble. It's useless to talk too much. I won't bother Mr.'s ears anymore."

He is still a self-respecting person. Even if something happens to him, he is not willing to suffer the consequences...

Shang Ye asked again: "How is my riding skill?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the man immediately started talking, and proudly said that he used to beg for food in a large escort agency in the county town, and specialized in teaching equestrian skills to the escorts.

"Brother is still an equestrian instructor." Shang Ye said with his fists clasped.

The man smiled, but did not deny it, "Where is it..."

"Well, if I pay twenty taels, will the instructor be willing to teach me how to ride a horse?"

Shang Ye tried to ask. Riding a horse requires equestrian skills. He had never ridden a horse before.

The man frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Sir, you have ridden before..."

"There is no foundation."

In the past, Shang Ye only rode his Yunxia gourd in the sky...

Earlier, his gaming club that purchased Ruyiju had an interest in horse riding, but what they were interested in was the legendary Pegasus in the Far North Wasteland. At that time, they went north together, saying they wanted to give two members of the club a horse.

Little girl, I found two divine horses with demon blood.

Of course, this was just an excuse for a "publicly funded" trip, but they didn't expect that they actually found traces of the elusive Pegasus.

But, what happened later...

"If you have no foundation, you won't be able to teach it in the next time. Equestrian skills are not something that can be learned overnight. The most basic steps of leading a horse, feeding the horse, and becoming familiar with the horse's nature will take some time. After that, it will take six steps to learn simple walking, stopping, and turning.

Seven days, if you ride over mountains and long distances, it will take at least several months to master it..."

"Oh -" Shang Ye nodded, his voice drawn out.

Half an hour later...

System subtitles appear: [Acquire "Equestrian Skills"]

The man opened his mouth slightly and watched Shang Ye galloping on the road. He had just followed this man's request and told about equestrian skills in detail. After he drank the whole pot of tea...

The man got on his horse and looked like a seasoned knight.

Shang Ye walked around for a while, returned to the man, threw down a money bag, greeted him with a fist, and rode away.

He was very satisfied with this big dark horse called Heitan.

Controlling a horse is different from controlling a dead object. People need to be familiar with horses, and horses also need to be familiar with people. There is a process of mutual understanding. For Shang Ye to be able to get on the road so easily, the riding skills given by the game system are naturally the key, but more importantly

, this big black horse is indeed as the man said, extremely docile, and did not resist his new master at all. It is obviously well-tamed.

The man looked at the big black horse going away, and didn't look at the money bag in his hand. Instead, he sighed with a sad look on his face.

After walking far away, the horse's speed slowly slowed down. On a slope, it stopped and turned its head to look back, as if looking at someone in the distance.

Shang Ye looked at it, thought about it, and shook his head helplessly...

A lone man was walking silently on the roadside. Suddenly, a familiar sound of horse hooves came from behind him.

"Do you know Yuecang City on the border of Laoshan Mountain in Tianshui County?"

Shang Ye on horseback opened his mouth and asked.

The man was stunned for a moment and replied: "I have been to Tianshui County, but I have never set foot on Mount Laoshan."

"You know the name of the place, can you find it?"

"That's natural..."

"I will foster this horse at Shifang Inn in Yuecang City for three months. You can take it away if you tell me your name. I'll take you to Tianshi Dao Shang Ye!"

One person and one horse went away again.

It took the man on the spot a few breaths to react. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Shang Ye's back, and did not get up for a long time.

…

"In the future, I will definitely buy the fastest and most stable flying sword for transportation..."

This was Shang Ye's first thought after he had bumped his butt for a long time and rubbed his thighs for a long time. Maybe he hadn't adapted yet. Anyway, after riding for a long time, it was really uncomfortable. He could rub against other people's cars and still take a nap.

, up and down, he felt that his internal organs were displaced...

Amidst the mountains and fields.

Shang Ye wanted to get off his horse and rest for a while, but he saw several monks wearing monk's robes on the roadside. After passing by silently, he carefully observed and saw a temple with yellow tiles and red walls on the mountainside not far away.

The interior is magnificent, the palace is tall and majestic, and there is even a faint light shining on the mountain. Even if you only take a glance at the bottom of the mountain, you can tell that this temple is extraordinary. It must be a temple with a spiritual heritage.

The monk’s situation cannot be stopped...

There are many reasons. The relationship between Tianshi Dao and Lotus Buddhism is a bit strange. Both parties have the function of protecting the environment and the people, and protecting the place from evil spirits. However, Daoism does not collect beliefs, nor does it sell doctrines and ideas to mortals, let alone

I value incense and money, so...

Both parties are very conscious that they should not appear on the same occasion to avoid certain unpleasant things.

After all, colleagues are enemies, and it would be very embarrassing if a colleague is still altruistic. As the old saying goes, if a person fights for a breath, a Buddha will receive a stick of incense. There is also an old saying that cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.

In addition, there is another more important reason. Buddhism in this world has a big problem that cannot be said or explained...

Shang Ye traveled more than ten miles. When he passed a village, he stopped to replenish some water, then got on his horse and continued to move forward. However, before he left the village, an old man on crutches rushed over and stopped him.

.

Shang Ye immediately reined in his horse, wondering if he had encountered a porcelain...

Unexpectedly, the old man stepped forward and grabbed his reins, opened his voice, and cried: "Master Tianshi, there is a ghost in our village, you have to take care of it..."

"This...old man, I'm busy running the main line, and I don't have time to do the branch line."

"What?"

The uncle turned his head and pointed his ear towards Shang Ye.

"Oh, cough... My dear friends, I have something urgent to do. Isn't there a temple nearby? Why don't you go there and invite an eminent monk to come?"

The anxious old man listened, his face stiffened, then he lowered his head and muttered.

Shang Ye still wanted to say something, but he saw more and more people gathering at the head of the village. Soon, the big black horse was surrounded by the villagers. Just like this, he was looked at dryly by pairs of eyes.
