The bullock cart walked slowly on the road. Although there was no one driving it, it still walked steadily.
This is the benefit of Monster, it can catch up with autonomous driving.
Lu Bai was drowsy while sitting in the car.
It was the dog days of summer, the weather was hot, and the cicadas were chirping endlessly in the forest, which disturbed Lu Bai and had no energy at all.
This weather is really not suitable for traveling.
Even though they were walking in the shadow of the forest, large clouds of hot air still surrounded them, making their bodies sweat unknowingly and soaking their backs, making them uncomfortable whether sitting or lying down.
Lu Bai wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep.
"A calm mind naturally cools down." Gu Qinghuan said.
She really managed to keep her mind calm and naturally cool. She kept reading on the bamboo mat and blocked out the heat with her consciousness.
However, the heat only made Lu Bai feel irritable and unable to calm down at all.
He misses the air conditioner very much now.
Sitting in the car, with the cold wind blowing and looking at the heat outside like a stove, it's not to mention how comfortable and comfortable it is.
Unfortunately, there is no air conditioning in this world.
The only coolness Lu Bai could get was to release the ghosts sealed in the ghost bowl with the ghost-repelling talisman and let them hover in the car to release the yin energy, so that they would be much cooler inside.
However, ghosts hate this kind of weather the most, and soon they were dying.
Lu Bai is a good person, and he doesn't want to listen to them too much.
Well, actually, when people are in the car and ghosts are in the car, the yin energy will be too strong, which is not good for Lu Qinghuan's health.
Lu Bai could only take them back.
Lu Bai went to look through the panel again.
The props I got from the lottery but haven’t used yet include ghost charms, magic talismans, bladeless knives, paper cranes, ghost lanterns, and damn fans——
Why!
Lu Bai's eyes lit up, the damn fan could blow the wind.
He hurriedly exchanged the fan for it, then opened it and started fanning it quickly, but all he fanned was hot air.
Gu Qinghuan looked away from the book and was surprised where he got a fan. Moreover, this fan was quite good. The fan bone was made of jade and the fan surface was made of silk. There were pictures of mountains and rivers painted on it. There was an elegant bookstore between the mountains and rivers.
middle--
Gu Qinghuan's eyes narrowed.
She stretched out her hand and said, "Let me see the fan."
"ah?"
Lu Bai subconsciously handed it to her, not forgetting to say: "This fan is for me to enjoy the coolness. You are not allowed to snatch it from me."
"Pooh!"
After Gu Qinghuan saw the scene in the study clearly, he threw it to Lu Bai, "Where did you get this fan?"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Bai was confused and looked down. Good guy, there was a man and a woman fighting in the room.
Unless you look carefully, you really can't tell.
"The big black cow gave it to me."
Lu Bai closed the fan and said seriously.
He kept complaining in his heart, this fan was really fucked up. Didn't this smear his innocence out of thin air? He, Lu Bai, was an upright person, a person who had escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who only knew how to play drums.
He threw the fan aside.
Thumb – snap!
The fan actually bounced up and hit Lu Bai on the crotch.
"Ouch!"
Lu Bai screamed in pain, which made the old cow pulling the cart tremble.
Gu Qinghuan also raised his eyebrows and said "tsk, tsk" at the same time. It must have been very painful, she could feel it on Lu Bai's face.
This fan is also weird, unbiased, coincidence?
But it's too coincidental.
"Are you okay?" Gu Qinghuan asked concernedly when he saw Lu Bai's body bent into a shrimp.
Lu Bai lay on the ground and waved his hands.
This fan lives up to its name of being fucked, it's so damn fucked up, and it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and it actually fucks its owner.
"Ouch."
Lu Bai said that with a little more strength, he and Wang'er would become sisters.
"Stop being such a mouthful!"
Seeing that he was sweating profusely in pain, Lu Qinghuan patted the bamboo mat next to him and asked him to come closer, maybe it would be cooler.
Lu Bai agreed.
He put away the fan solemnly, moved onto the bamboo mat, rested his head on Gu Qinghuan's knees, smelled the fragrance of her body, and then calmed down for a while and took a nap.
However, the sticky wetness from sweat quickly made him upset again.
He turned over and placed his chin on Gu Qinghuan's knees, letting the moisture on his back dry. "No, sleeping like this is not happy at all."
He decided that after today, they would sleep at night and no longer rush on their way under the scorching sun.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan was still reading, as if the heat had no effect on her.
"How did you do it?" Lu Bai asked.
Gu Qinghuan said: "When a person is fully focused and does not notice that his body is hot, he will not feel hot no matter how much he sweats."
Lu Bai thought it made sense.
He sat up straight and said, "Then find something we can concentrate on together."
Lu Bai felt that he was hot in the car, which had something to do with being bored.
In this hot weather, the monsters didn't come out to attack the passing merchants, just to make him laugh.
Gu Qinghuan had already prepared.
She took out a chessboard from the back of the car, took out the black and white pieces, and said, "Play chess."
"Well--"
Lu Bai said that he can play backgammon, but playing Go is a bit too difficult for him.
“If you don’t know how to do it, you have to learn how to do it.”
Gu Qinghuan placed the chess pieces on the table.
"When you leave Yancheng and go to Jiangnan, if you don't understand these things, you will be ridiculed and ostracized."
For scholars in the Southern Dynasties, these were necessary means of communication.
Gu Qinghuan had already had an idea for Lu Bai to learn.
It just so happened that we had a long journey out this time and nothing happened on the way, so we could teach Lu Bai this lesson.
She casually placed three black stones, one white stone, and another black stone, "This is the winning stone.",
She changed again, "This is robbery."
Lu Bai frowned, sweating even more. This brain-burning thing makes people sweat even more.
Fortunately, Gu Qinghuan didn't plan to let Lu Bai master it all at once.
After teaching Lu Bai several variations and methods of robbery, Lu Qinghuan also taught Lu Bai about shooting, throwing pots and other things.
These things are quite interesting.
Lu Bai used a wine jar as a pot and used chopsticks to throw the shots. He always hit the target because he used his mind power.
Lu Qinghuan smiled slightly, closed his eyes, held a chopstick in both hands and turned it around.
With a "dong" sound, the chopsticks fell into the wine bottle.
Lu Bai said he could do this too.
Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "If you use telekinesis, that's how a practitioner would do it."
Not only do you have to send your own sign in, you also have to use the power of mind on the sign to try to get the other person's sign out. This is a test for the practitioner's control of mind power.
"Oh, I dare you that the Jiangnan scholars are so playful." Lu Bai sighed.
"More than these, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, betting on books and splashing tea, elegant scholars often play these games at gatherings of scholars. If you can't cope with it freely, you won't be able to integrate into their circle, and you will be isolated and helpless when you want to do things.
It's difficult." Gu Qinghuan said.
Lu Bai didn't take it seriously.
As long as he has a high level, that's all.
Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "Unlike this remote place like Yancheng, above the temples, all the famous officials have cultivating sects standing behind them."
In official circles, cliques are inevitable.
But this world is different from the officialdom that Lu Bai saw in his previous life. They came together because of political ideas, and then party disputes broke out.
In the Southern Dynasties, there was only one reason for party struggle, and that was that officials sought benefits for their masters behind them.
Therefore, the temples of the Southern Dynasties were more akin to proxy wars.
The eight sects do not fight directly, but use officials as agents to seek their own interests in temples.
"Yancheng is a remote place, and the eight major sects have no interests here, so what you have faced so far are the people of Yiqiu Villa and the emperor. When you get to Jiangnan, all kinds of forces will be intertwined and it will be a headache."
At that time, methods such as combining vertical and horizontal lines will have to be used, so Lu Bai has no communication skills and it is impossible.
Lu Bai was worried, "Okay, then I will continue to learn from the master."
Gu Qinghuan rolled his eyes. She remembered the time when she helped Lu Bai and Gu Mei go on a blind date, but in the end it was changed to her and Wang'er. She didn't know what he was thinking.
Forget it, don’t think about this anymore,
This is a confusing account, and the more you calculate it, the more headache you get.
Even though she advocates calmness and natural cooling, it is difficult to calm down now, so much so that her body is sweating.
Fortunately, the sun is no longer so poisonous at this time.
While he calmed down and taught Lu Bai how to play chess and throw pots, the time spent on the road passed quickly.
When night fell, they stopped by a small river.
Lu Bai went down to the river to clean himself, and he was relieved after seeing that the place where he was hit by the fan was safe.
It can't die before it sets off.
Lu Bai took out another change of clothes, cut them with a knife, and then put on shorts for himself. As for his upper body, he was naked, which was much cooler.
Not to mention, Lu Bai is very intimidating like this, because his upper body is covered with numerous scars, which are densely packed with scars. If a child sees this in a busy city, it may scare the child to tears.
Even if it was Gu Qinghuan, these wounds were the result of her applying medicine. It was shocking to see them, and——
It's quite manly.
Not to mention, because of the exercises, Lu Bai still has abdominal muscles.
Gu Qinghuan wanted to reach out and touch it.
Snapped!
Lu Bai swatted a mosquito to death and woke up Lu Qinghuan.
She touched her forehead and said, "What am I thinking about."
She asked herself to wake up and not be seduced by men. Then she realized that she was sticky and wanted to take a bath.
Lu Bai was walking around with scars on his body. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, I'll help you guard it."
Wherever his mind can reach, not even an insect or a fish can escape his mind. The slightest movement can be detected immediately.
As for the ox pulling the cart, it was a cow, and it was far away and could not be seen at all.
Gu Qinghuan nodded.
She took a change of clothes and went to the river.
After a while, there was a rustling sound from the river, and the sound of fetching water.
Lu Bai took the wine gourd over, took a sip, and teased Niu, "Do you want to drink it?"
When the bull demon turned around, Lu Bai took the wine gourd away again, "Want to drink? You're so beautiful."
He sat on the stone and folded his arms beautifully.
Although the sound of water by the river moved his heart, as a drummer, Lu Bai was still very upright.
Soon, Gu Qinghuan finished washing and went ashore.
After they had a simple dinner, they planned to go to bed.
Lu Qinghuan must be in the car. Lu Bai originally planned to stay outside, but Lu Qinghuan saw that he was using his mind to fight mosquitoes. If he slept outside, he probably wouldn't have to sleep all night, so he let him in the car.
Lu Bai scratched his head, "Isn't this good?"
Gu Qinghuan rolled his eyes, "Now I'm more reserved. It's not like we never lived together in the same room before."
Quite true.
Then Lu Bai didn't insist anymore, and the car was spacious enough for the two of them to lie down without being crowded.
After getting in the car, Lu Bai took a sip of wine, activated his passive, and put the wine next to him. Fortunately, when a monster attacked at night, he drank in time, activated his passive, and launched a thunderous strike against the monster.
Lu Qinghuan was wearing a water suit, and she asked Lu Bai to give her the wine.
Lu Bai wondered, "Why are you drinking?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep, so I'll bring it as soon as I ask you to." Gu Qinghuan rolled his eyes.
Lu Bai made a face, gave her the wine, turned over and was about to go to bed.
Lu Qinghuan raised his head and took a sip, then placed it next to Lu Bai, lay down and turned over to prepare for sleep.
The world quieted down.
The chirping of insects, chirping of birds and the roar of animals in the distance can be heard clearly outside the car.
Lu Bai got used to hearing it, and soon fell into a half-dream and half-awake state. The only trace of consciousness left was to avoid sneak attacks by monsters.
Gu Qinghuan seemed to have fallen asleep too.
There was silence in the car for a long time.
Until Lu Qinghuan turned over and put his arm on Lu Bai's body, his hand just on Lu Bai's abdominal muscles.
Lu Bai woke up and tried to move Gu Qinghuan's hand away.
"Don't move." She muttered.
Lu Bai was afraid of waking her up, so he simply let her go. His arm was not heavy, so he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
The night flows quietly.
The heat of summer gradually disappeared, and the coolness of the wilderness climbed into the car.
Half asleep and half awake, Lu Bai heard Lu Qinghuan take out the blanket and cover the two of them. It was quite warm.
