Chapter 9 Dreaming
Moving forward, Long Mo finally found the first station on the official road.
This made Long Mo so happy. Long Mo was not unable to survive in the wild. It was just a big battle. Now that he has been relieved, he feels weak all over and is really tired. He probably has aches all over tomorrow. It will be a big pain in his wilderness. If it is not a last resort, why should he suffer this?
The paotang, who was looking for the inn, opened a room, ordered a bucket of hot water, ordered a few dishes, and asked the second one to deliver it to the room. Long Mo lie comfortably on the bed at the inn, waiting.
Although the world's power system is extraordinary, this kind of road facility is still far inferior to the science and technology society of the previous life. What is popular is still somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese model.
There are four types of roads: horse roads inside the city, official roads outside the city, straight roads used for marching, and some other unofficial roads are called wild paths.
The largest of them are straight roads and official roads. The official roads can accommodate six horses in parallel. The court set up a stone pavilion for visitors to rest every mile. A post station is set up every five miles and a large post station is set up every twenty miles. These post stations are equipped with officers and soldiers. The post stations generally have five to six people and a team leader. The post stations are generally more than ten or dozens of people, mainly depending on the terrain. Trees are planted on both sides of the road, and officers and soldiers who usually have post stations patrol from time to time.
The inn where Long Mo is now called Xingjiao Post, which is a post station. Generally speaking, because the official road is relatively safe, there are many bandits and robbers in the wild path. However, the young talent competition will be held recently. Wu Hailiang, the governor of Jingzhou, specially ordered officers and soldiers from all over the country to eliminate bandits and bandits. Therefore, both the official road and the wild path have become much calmer. At least there will be no such scenes of bandits robbers that are happy to see and hear.
But after a while, two people from the hall carried a large wooden barrel in, and then neatly added hot water to it with the barrel. There was also a log table with several dishes and a basin of rice on it.
Long Mo was deeply satisfied with the speed of the service at this station. When the two two left, Long Mo closed the door, took off his clothes and walked into the big wooden barrel, soaking himself comfortably in hot water.
While taking a hot bath, he leisurely picked up chopsticks and ate the dishes casually. For a moment, Long Mo felt that it would be nice if he had such treatment after every battle!
As he ate, Long Mo's chopsticks picked up food became slower and slower. The fatigue after the battle and the comfort of taking a hot bath made Long Mo's body relax suddenly, and followed by a lot of sleepiness.
Finally, Long Mo loosened his hand holding the chopsticks. He heard a tingling sound, but the chopsticks had already landed on the plate. The slight snoring sound seemed to be guided by the chopsticks and began to come out of the water vapor.
...
There was a dark space, and Long Mo's consciousness came here, but unlike when he was awake, Long Mo's consciousness was only a little weak perception left, and he barely felt the darkness around him.
In this dark space where there was no sign of five fingers, a little white light appeared blurred. Although it was dim, as the only two points in this world, this white light immediately attracted Long Mo's attention.
Long Mo's consciousness tried his best to move towards the light spot, but found that it was completely futile. Without reference objects, Long Mo didn't know whether he was not approaching or the light spot was far away.
Long Mo had to watch quietly, but he was eager to find out as if he was caught by a cat. I don’t know how long it took. As time went by, after Long Mo tried hard but failed, the white light spot finally changed and it was getting bigger!
Depending on the fact that a certain condition was met, the change of the white light spot did not stop, and the white light spot gradually became larger. At this time, Long Mo realized that the white spot was not a regular circle, but more like a white flag floating in the wind. Even Long Mo looked at it and seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind blowing the flag sails.
What is this? Long Mo was confused, but he didn't say anything. Even his consciousness simply expressed such questions, without further thought, and completely played the role of an onlooker.
Then a sense of lofty and unfamiliar temperament emanated from the flag. When Long Mo looked at the white light spot again, his vision blurred. When he returned to normal, Long Mo had already discovered that the white light spot had turned into a figure at some point!
That was a boy! And a boy who deeply attracted Long Mo's attention. The boy gave Long Mo only a back, but even so, Long Mo couldn't move his eyes away.
There are many temperaments in the world, and some of them are always something that people can't forget at first sight. For example, the young man with the temperament of a sword saint I met before, and the mysterious master who controlled the boss of Qingpi in the palace.
But the temperament of the boy in front of him was still above them. Because from this young man who was cold and lonely, as if he was pine on the cliff or steep rock, Long Mo felt a deep despair! This deep despair was like a sea pressing on his body, and no light could be seen around him.
Just as Long Mo sighed, the young man in front of him moved slightly, but raised his head. As the young man raised his head, Long Mo seemed to see a sudden rise from the bottom of the sea with a resolute magic sword, splitting the desperate sea in half!
"If there is no way in the world, why did I just let me descend to the world, why did I join the sect and understand the truth, and why did I make me unable to practice with my empty state?" The boy's voice was low, and his tone was filled with some kind of resentment.
Then there was no sound, but Long Mo's consciousness knew that the boy was still talking, but he could not hear the sound.
But you can see that the boy's emotions are getting more and more excited. He cried, cursed, roared, and even seemed a little crazy in the end. But the result was silence. The boy collapsed on the ground and laughed while crying. Finally, he paused, calmed down, tidied up his clothes, wiped his cheeks, then stood up, and said solemnly.
Long Mo's vague consciousness moved, and his intuition told him that this sentence was extremely important. Just as he was concentrating on his mind and trying to hear the words clearly, a terrifying wave came from all directions. It was clear that there was darkness around him, but Long Mo still felt an unparalleled force shattering everything around him and coming to him.
It was like a person was about to face a huge wave of invisible peaks on the beach and hit the top of his head, and a huge fear suddenly rose from his heart. "Ah!" Long Mo, who was originally sleeping in the bathtub, was awakened in an instant, and a shiver stood up from the bathtub.
