"It seems that this is the truth. This way is superficial."
The fat Taoist wrung out his shoes and shook off the smelly water droplets. Thinking about what his boss said, he also felt that it was difficult for the Taoist monks to deal with them alone, plus a water-friendly bull demon, and there were cars full of cars behind them.
The gods and men are withered, and even monsters can see a big ball of golden light passing through the water surface without even coming out of the underwater cave. Who dares to come looking for trouble?
"Apprentice, is the car leaking?"
In the carriage, the crazy old man who was sleeping soundly touched the water stains on his face and woke up. He put his wet fingers under his nose and smelled it, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Why does this rainwater stink so much? It smells worse than my feet!"
Hearing this, the fat Taoist outside the car looked at the shoes in his hands and hurriedly put them on his feet. The crazy old man poked his head out of the car and said, "Apprentice, where are we? Did you mention any good places to eat?"
"It's still some time before we leave Luodu. If master is hungry, let's go to the front to take shelter from the rain and make some food on the way."
Chen Yuan took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and took out half a cake. He filled Master's stomach first and then directed the old cow to see if there was a resting place ahead. If not, he would just look for a big one.
Trees make fire.
The place we landed was not connected to the official road. We took a wilderness path. On the way, we met a nearby farmer and asked if there was a town nearby. When he heard that there was still more than ten miles to go, he continued on his way.
The sky was gloomy, and the misty autumn rain exuded a chill.
The surrounding stretches of mountains looked a little eerie, with a thin layer of mist rising from the woods as the autumn rains spread. It was already noon, and occasionally a few ominous crows neighed from the winding mountain roads.
Wow!
Wow!
The dark crow bounced on the branches, tilted its head and looked at the oxcart passing below. For a moment, it spread its wings and flew into the forest. At this time, there was a little smoke rising in front of the mountain road, and it was a half-collapsed shabby house.
There are many travelers taking shortcuts in the mountains. When they are tired and exhausted, they will often rest under the eaves if there is a resting place nearby and will not go in casually.
When Chen Yuan drove the ox cart over, there were four people sitting around the bonfire lit under the eaves. Seeing the huge carriage, the old ox pulling the cart, the fat Taoist and Chen Yuan, they just nodded or showed goodwill.
He smiled, ignored it, and continued to talk about some interesting anecdotes from all over the world. It seemed that the four of them were not in the same group.
"Did you hear that?"
"What happened..."
Across from the bonfire, the two men were wearing green shirts with wide sleeves. They did not look like wandering traders. One of them started talking excitedly.
The two people on the other side looked a little unnatural, "You two brothers, we are in the wilderness, don't tell stories about ghosts and ghosts. We are all people running outside. It would be bad if we provoke ghosts and gods."
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuan and the other three who were walking on the other side of the eaves.
"Who told you ghost stories?" "That's right, we are talking about recent rumors. I heard that several princes are going to lead troops to the capital."
The half-collapsed house was desolate and desolate, with a few clusters of weeds growing between the gaps in the tiles, and a huge hole on one side of the roof. In the gloomy sky, no matter what you said, there was a strange atmosphere, Chen Yuan
Frowning, he set up an iron pot, added water to cook the food, and started a war? What's going on?
The two merchant-looking men over there breathed a sigh of relief when they saw each other cooking.
Then he continued to ask the two people wearing green shirts opposite him: "In other words, there is going to be a war over there in Luodu?"
"Isn't that right? I just heard from you two that you want to go to Luodu? I'd better advise you two brothers not to go. You two brothers happen to have a good place to go. Grab your goods and go there together. You may be able to sell them at a good price.
"
"Two brothers have a connection? If that's the case, you might as well give me some advice and then you can share some of the rewards."
When they heard that they could sell it at a good price, the eyes of the two merchants almost shone. They went out and wanted to make a profit. If there was a war in Luodu, not to mention selling at a good price, would they be able to come out by then?
It's all a big problem. It's impossible to say that he was dragged to help defend the city. If he survives, it's because the ancestral graves are smoking.
Puff puff……
The water in the pot was boiling. Chen Yuan glanced at the two people in green shirts over there, took out a small bag, poured the rice grains into it, then leaned against the wall, took out a book and started flipping through it.
"Apprentice...how long do you have to wait?" The crazy old man squatted beside him, greedily watching the boiling rice grains tumbling in the pot, and his saliva almost flowed out. He couldn't help but suck it, and opened his mouth.
He sucked back his saliva and murmured: "I also said that I would take my teacher to eat delicious food, but I ended up eating this, but it's okay, it's better than pancakes..."
"Old madman, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is the best rice. It is carefully selected and brought from Liangya Mountain."
When the fat Taoist heard what the crazy old man said, he immediately stopped working. His eyes were serious, he picked up his sleeves and walked over, pointing at the rice in the pot and talking. There was a toad lying on the ground that was not so easy to find.
, listen carefully.
After all, the fat Taoist was very particular about his food, which he admired a lot and even thought it made sense.
"On the way to eating, if you can find a way, your achievements may not be lower than others."
The toad blinked its eye masks, and when it heard the buzzing sound, it instinctively opened its mouth, stretched out its long tongue, and pulled the hovering mosquito into its mouth.
'It just so happens that I also like this way.'
The dead branches crackled slightly in the fire, and outside the eaves, the wind mixed with raindrops blew the woods between the mountain paths.
Among the four people chatting over the fire, a man who seemed to be the youngest listened to the two men in blue shirts and robes across from him talking about the ways of doing business. He had an unnatural expression on his face. He reached out to pull the corner of his companion's clothes and wanted to say
Don't be gullible with your words, but your companion is talking to the two people across from you, so you won't listen.
At this time, the young man was listening to the whining wind blowing outside. In the gloomy sky, the firelight illuminated the faces of the two men in green shirts opposite, outlining half of their faces, as if they were dazzled, and actually felt that their skin was a little white.
Scary.
He swallowed his saliva and raised his elbow to nudge the older companion next to him, trembling slightly as he spoke.
"Brother...the two people opposite are a little weird..."
The companion was puzzled. There was nothing unusual about the two people opposite him. He pulled the man and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"What are you thinking about? These two people are our lucky stars. Don't talk nonsense. You lost a lot of money in the last transaction with just one word."
The timid man shut up when he heard the old talk being mentioned again, but he still couldn't help but look at the two people opposite.
Outside the scope of the firelight, the faces of the two people in green shirts flickered in the light of the campfire, and they were trying to smile under their pale skin.
swish swish...
Outside, the branches and leaves of the forest are swaying gently in the wind.
The hair on the man's back stood up in an instant, and he quickly rubbed his butt and moved back. At this moment, he suddenly coughed. Strangely enough, the fear in the timid man's heart suddenly disappeared.
He subconsciously looked under the eaves on the other side, where the driver in blue robes was reading a book, feeling a sense of security arise for no reason.
And at this sound, the two men in green shirts who were talking to another vendor turned back to look at the person reading the book, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Seeing the difference in their expressions, the rugged vendor opposite quickly asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Uh, I... I'm afraid the two of us have to take a step in advance."
With that said, the two of them ignored the man's persuasion and stood up and walked out. Their steps were surprisingly fast. They didn't care about the falling rain curtain, which seemed to be floating. In the blink of an eye, they walked into the forest ahead.
The man was still confused, but when he saw the backs of the two people, he could vaguely see the black shadows of two models. Their faces turned pale. He quickly retracted his feet, ran to his companion and squatted down, holding his arms with both hands.
, shivering slightly.
Da da da......
The man's teeth were chattering wildly. His scalp was numb, and a chill went straight to the back of his neck.
The black shadow behind the two people just now was covered in jet-black fluff.
"I almost lost my life, and I went to do business with others." The fat Taoist under the eaves on the other side stirred up the pot. He came over and noticed the strange behavior of the two men in green shirts. They were alone as usual.
, his feet kept leaving, but with Chen Yuan here, he had enough confidence.
"The boss is a man, but he is not as alert as the brothers around you."
Knowing that the cough was coming from the driver who was reading a book, the two vendors immediately stood up and thanked them. However, they had not yet recovered from their fear, and their voices were still trembling.
"Those two people were transformed by mandrills and are very good at deceiving people. Once you follow them into the mountains, I'm afraid you two will be left with a pile of bones."
Chen Yuan has the power of incense and can tell at a glance that the other person is not a human being. However, he does not reveal it directly. He still wants to see what the two demons are going to do. If it is a monster like Hu Yong, he will not intervene. But at the moment, it seems that it is not the case.
Every monster is good.
"Thank you, master, for the rescue!"
Knowing the whole story, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat, thanked them again, and took out their money and handed it to Chen Yuan. When they refused to accept it, they had to take it back, put out the fire immediately, pulled the goods and left quickly, even if
Knowing that an expert was here, I didn't dare to stay any longer. I was afraid that I would never go this way again.
"Old Sun, go practice your skills. The two mandrills just now are not very advanced and haven't transformed yet. They were just blinders."
Sun Zhengde nodded, spit it out and rubbed it on his palms. He took the peach wood sword from his back and rushed towards the woods on the other side of the mountain road.
In less than ten breaths, there was a series of roars of "Ahhhhhh...", followed by popping sounds, and the forest began to shake. Soon, Sun Zhengde patted the Taoist robe quite happily, and dragged the
He came back with the mahogany sword and continued to prepare the meal with a calm expression.

After a small episode on the way, nothing else happened on the rest of the way.
Entering the boundary of Hezhou, heading east, arriving at Luodu, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
Less than half a mile away from the city gate, there is noisy traffic on both sides of the official road, and pedestrians are passing through like a vegetable market. The huge city gate is very strict, and Chen Yuan and his ox carts may not be able to get in.
"Fellow Taoist, you want to go to Beijing to plot an assassination?!"
Suddenly, words rang out on the road. Chen Yuan was familiar with the sound, so he turned his face with a smile. The fat Taoist beside him was so frightened that his hands trembled.
The crazy old man who was playing with Li Bai's wood wither at the door of the carriage threw away the wood with which he was struggling, causing his hair to explode, and glared at him angrily.
"Who dares to call me disciple!
"
On one side of the road, in front of a tea stall, a figure in a spacious Taoist robe, holding Fuchen on his arm and carrying a mahogany sword on his back, stood in the afternoon sunshine, stroking his beard and smiling.
