A hundred miles north of Sixiang Sect, Jiang Xiaoyu walked through a patch of thorns and exposed his head.
He looked back and saw that there was nothing behind him.
After running so far in one breath, he suddenly felt a little thirsty. He found a big tree and sat down against it. He took out a water bag from the ring space and drank it.
"Fortunately, I ran fast, but it scared me to death!"
It’s not surprising that Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to run away. The main reason was that last night, Lin Zhihuan took Jiang Xiaoyu and talked about it. In summary, you should practice hard and put aside fishing and other things in the future. Working hard to practice is the right way.
Jiang Xiaoyu naturally quit. At first, he was a little interested in seeking immortality and practicing Taoism, but after seeing the great changes in the Four Symbols Sect, he suddenly felt that the world of cultivation was really dangerous.
Originally, the reason for staying in Sixiang Sect was to take advantage of Lin Zhihuan's lustful power, but now he actually made a lot of demands, so a fool would not run away.
The most important thing is that Lin Zhihuan also said that the world is about to change, and young people should work hard, grow up quickly, and hold up the world.
The implicit meaning behind this sentence is that he is going to charge into battle in the future. How can Jiang Xiaoyu, who is used to living a comfortable life, stand this? Damn the Four Xiang Sect, the world is so big, and it is absolutely necessary for him to stay here.
It's a small world.
No, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't even think about it, he put his stuff into the ring space and ran away overnight.
A smart person like Jiang Xiaoyu would naturally not take the water route. After all, the Ambergris River passes through the Sixiang Sect and is too conspicuous on the river.
So, he found a certain direction and walked through the mountains and ridges all night without sleeping.
Now that the morning sun was rising, the sunlight shone through the leaves on Jiang Xiaoyu's face, and he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
Just when he was about to tilt his head and have a good sleep, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly squinted and saw three or two sword-wielding monks flying towards him in the air in the distance.
"Oops! Are you here to catch me?"
Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly got into the bushes nearby. It didn't matter whether he got in or not. As soon as he got in, his head hit a hard object directly.
"Ouch!"
His mouth was covered by a hand just before the sound came out.
"Shh!"
When he looked up, he covered his mouth and saw a young man in ragged clothes. The young man was unkempt, but his eyes were bright. He pointed to the sky. Jiang Xiaoyu immediately understood what the other person meant. It seemed that this kid had also sneaked out.
Yes.
Their eyes followed the direction of the monk's flight in the sky. When the monk finally disappeared from the horizon, they took a deep breath and sat on the ground.
"Friend, it seems that we are all of the same kind. It seems that I am not the only one who ran away. It's good to have a companion on the road!"
"A fellow-traveler?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked up and down at the young man in front of him. This guy's outfit looked like he had escaped from a refugee.
Before Jiang Xiaoyu could say anything, the young man sighed and said to himself: "I've been really unlucky for eight lifetimes! I finally joined a sect, but ended up here as cannon fodder.
, Fortunately I have good legs and feet, otherwise I would have been skinned by the people from the Four Symbols Sect!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu had a vague feeling of ominous premonition.
"Then you are?"
"My name is Jiang Ping. I was assigned to the sixth team when we attacked the Four Symbols Sect. My mission was to drill holes in the ground. I was really drilling holes in the ground honestly, but I didn't expect that when my head popped up, everything outside was full of people.
The people of the Four Symbols Sect had no choice, so I had to find another way and crawl all the way over. It was also thanks to my skills, otherwise I would have been left there long ago."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xiaoyu again and said: "Which team are you from? I heard that most of the people who came this time have been admitted here. Look at you, you are so clean.
You won’t rebel, right?”
"Rebellion?" Jiang Xiaoyu was about to explain, but Jiang Ping continued: "Rebellion, just rebel. We were all deceived by the Beast Control Sect. It would be good if we could save our lives. But that's okay,
Although I haven’t learned any skills, I have managed to get this spiritual beast.”
After a few sentences, Jiang Xiaoyu had basically figured out that Jiang Ping must be the one who attacked the Four Symbols Sect some time ago, and it was just a coincidence that he saved his life. At first, Jiang Xiaoyu was a little scared, but after a while,
Seeing that this boy was about the same age as himself, and he was not a sinister and domineering person, he naturally became a little less vigilant.
After all, after leaving the Four Symbols Sect, this world is very unfamiliar to him, so it would be good to have a companion.
"I did rebel!" Jiang Xiaoyu leaned into Jiang Ping's ear and said mysteriously: "If I hadn't rebelled, could I have survived until now?"
"That's right!" Jiang Ping nodded.
"But I know that people like us will never gain the trust of others, so I saw the opportunity and escaped!"
Jiang Ping gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "Brother, you are a smart man! By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is your name?"
"Jiang Xiaoyu!" As soon as Jiang Xiaoyu said the words, he felt a little regretful. It was originally a lie, but now he actually revealed his real name. Wouldn't it be a matter of time before he was exposed?
"Brother Jiang!" Jiang Ping patted Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulder with his big hand and said, "Although we were from the same sect before, we haven't met each other before. Now that we meet under such circumstances, it's fate! It just so happens that we will be on the road ahead.
I also have a companion!”
"That's it! That's..." Jiang Xiaoyu could only say with an embarrassed smile.
Jiang Xiaoyu was silent for a few moments, then seemed to think of something and asked: "Jiang Ping, you have escaped, where are you going?"
"Where to go?" Jiang Ping scratched his head and said, "I have already thought about going to Ning'an. Most of the people living there are mortals. This bullshit world of cultivation is really too dangerous."
Then, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Do you want to return to the Beast Control Sect?"
Jiang Xiaoyu's head suddenly shook like a rattle.
"That's really great. Judging from your appearance, your cultivation level should be about the same as mine. Our cultivation level is worse than an ant in the world of cultivation. Why not go to the mortal world and live a comfortable life? After all, we have spirits.
Isn’t it a beast?”
After saying that, Jiang Ping stood up, looked around and saw that there was no movement around him, and then shouted towards the ground: "Tiedan, come out!"
After saying that, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly noticed that the soil in front of him suddenly bulged. He quickly stood aside and saw a pangolin about two feet long coming out of it.
"Tiedan, come up!" Jiang Ping called, and the pangolin seemed to understand and climbed onto Jiang Ping's back.
"This is my spiritual beast Tiedan. Although he is useless in a fight, he is very good at drilling holes! When I get to Ning'an, I can find a job digging wells, Tiedan.
Once I get started, I will definitely become the first person to dig wells in that place, earn money, marry a wife, give birth to ten or eight cubs, and live a stable life."
Jiang Xiaoyu finally understood why Jiang Ping took on the task of digging holes. It seemed that it was all because of this pangolin.
"Jiang Xiaoyu, what is your spiritual beast?"
"My spirit beast?" Jiang Xiaoyu was confused. He pretended to be a member of the Beast Control Sect, so he couldn't live without a spirit beast.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and the little spine-swallowing beast in the ring space suddenly appeared in his hand. He stretched out his hand towards Jiang Ping, and the little spine-swallowing beast jumped like an earthworm.
Jiang Ping was stunned. He pointed at the spine-swallowing beast in Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and stammered: "What is this little thing? It looks like a fish."
Jiang Xiaoyu replied with a smile: "This is my spiritual beast, the little earthworm. Although it looks like a fish, it is actually a bait used for fishing. Put it on a fishing line and throw it into the river.
Big fish will compete to bite the hook! When I get to Ning'an, I will go fishing at night, sell fish during the day, earn money, and then open a fish farm, and my small life may be more comfortable than yours.
"
Jiang Ping nodded thoughtfully, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jiang Xiaoyu, and said: "Not bad, not bad! I'm already thinking about opening a fish farm, but it seems that my vision is still a bit short-sighted!"
...
Behind the clouds, Wen Zhiming and Lin Zhihuan stepped on their spiritual swords and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Ping in the forest without comment.
"Sect Master, are you really going to let him go like this?"
"Otherwise? He is still a child, how is it possible to impose those things on his shoulders?"
"But?"
"It's your fish, and sooner or later it will be hooked. If it's not your fish, you can't catch it either."
[Author's digression]: I have actually thought about this paragraph for a long time. In my heart, Jiang Xiaoyu is just an ordinary young man. After all, I cannot keep a young man who is used to being carefree like a bird in a cage.
