"Holy Mountain, I don't know where it is." Li Qiye looked outside and finally smiled lightly.
The old man kept silent and drove the old horse. His expression was also very strange and strange.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Qiye smiled faintly and said slowly: "Do you think it's better to drive or do something else?"
"Well..." the old man pondered for a moment, and then said: "I only know how to drive a car, and I don't know how to do anything else, so I can't answer the guests' questions."
"Driving a car is also a technical job." Li Qiye showed a smile and said: "The road is not always smooth and dangerous. When the road is dangerous, you will always encounter some jackals, tigers and leopards. If you are not careful, you will be killed by the beast.
belly."
"What the guest said is not unreasonable." The old man nodded and said: "However, fortunately, my old bones are still strong, and this long whip can still be used. Generally, jackals, tigers and leopards are still difficult to get close to.
.My old horse also knows the way and tries to avoid places where there are jackals, tigers and leopards."
As he spoke, the old man raised the whip in his hand, and when he heard a "snap" sound, the whip was raised high and landed on the horse's back with great precision. The old horse immediately accelerated its speed, and the whole process was completed in one go.
As the clouds flowed, it seemed that the old man and his old horse had developed an indescribable tacit understanding.
"I can see that." Li Qiye nodded and said: "The road is dangerous. There are dangerous peaks and cliffs, so be careful."
"Well, don't worry, guest." The old man said hurriedly: "I have been driving a car all my life. I know all the roads in the Buddha's Holy Land very well. I know everything about the dangerous and overhanging peaks. I will be careful.
Drive and avoid safely..."
"... As long as you, the guest, get on my carriage, you can rest assured that you will be absolutely safe and sound. Wherever you want to go, you will be delivered safely." When the old man said this,
Full of energy and confidence.
Li Qiye couldn't help but show a faint smile and didn't say much.
"What are our guests going to do when they go south?" At this moment, the old man lost no time and asked casually.
"Chopping firewood." Li Qiye smiled, his expression natural.
"Chopping firewood?" The old man couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, not believing it. He shook his head and said, "Guest, please don't tease me. You traveled thousands of miles from north to south just to chop firewood. This seems hard to believe."
.”
This is indeed true. It is such a long distance from the northern end of the Buddha's Holy Land to the southern end. If you say that you go to such a place just to cut firewood, anyone who hears this will not believe it. They will think that this is
It's a joke.
"It's okay if you don't believe it." Li Qiye didn't argue, he just smiled.
The old man couldn't help but fell silent. If this was really the case, then Li Qiye was indeed not joking. However, in the eyes of the old man, such a thing was still unbelievable.
Traveling thousands of miles from north to south just to cut firewood is inconceivable to anyone.
If he really wanted to cut firewood, the place where Li Qiye started was a big forest, and there was firewood everywhere, so there was no need to go south.
Going south to cut firewood, such a thing is so outrageous, it's like a fantasy.
However, at this time, the old man did not question Li Qiye's words. Judging from Li Qiye's expression, it seemed that Li Qiye really wanted to go south to chop firewood.
The old man was silent for a long time. After a while, he said softly: "Everyone says that if you work hard, you must first sharpen your tools. When a guest goes south to chop firewood, he should have a good hatchet, so that he will not be in vain for his long journey.
I came all the way to chop firewood. I happen to have a hatchet handy here, so I might as well lend it to a guest."
As he said that, the old man had already taken out a knife and handed it into the carriage. The long knife was thickly wrapped in layers of cloth. It seemed that the old man cherished it and did not take it out for use.
"Okay." Li Qiye didn't refuse, took the hatchet, put it away, and said with a smile: "It would be great if I have a hatchet handy, so I don't waste time looking for a good knife."
"That is, that is." The old man nodded immediately, very kindly, as if Li Qiye could use his woodcutter, which was something that made him very happy.
The carriage was running very smoothly, and no one could feel any shaking or bumping at all.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stopped. The old man outside the carriage called Li Qiye and said: "Guest, we are already at the southern end. The road ahead is dangerous. My broken carriage can only
I’m afraid I won’t be able to go anymore, so I can only send you here.”
"That's fine." Li Qiye had just woken up, stretched himself, and got out of the carriage.
Ahead is a wilderness, with towering peaks, deep ravines locked in fog, birds of prey flying away, and ferocious beasts roaring, it's such a dangerous place.
After Li Qiye got off the horse, he just took a casual look, stretched out, and threw a bag of coins to the old man. The old man shook it and said hurriedly: "Guests, there are more."
"If you have more, I'll reward you." Li Qiye said with a casual smile.
The old man immediately bowed and nodded, saying: "Thank you very much for the reward, guest. The future is long and difficult. Please be careful, guest."
"The future is indeed difficult." Li Qiye just glanced at the desolate mountains in front of him, smiled faintly, and said: "No matter how difficult the mountain road is, you can still walk out, but people's hearts are unpredictable.
.”
"The truths the guest said are all profound and mysterious. I don't have enough ink in my belly to understand them." The old man smiled naively and shook his head.
"Maybe." Li Qiye also smiled, glanced at the old man, and said lightly: "Kneel down and say goodbye to me now, and I will spare your life in the future."
Li Qiye suddenly said such a sentence. The old man couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Li Qiye blankly.
However, Li Qiye didn't look at him twice, his expression was very natural, as if this was an insignificant matter.
"Guest, you are joking." The old man laughed dryly and shook his head.
"It's a pity that you missed it." Li Qiye ignored the old man and turned around to leave. He walked into the mountains without looking at him again.
The old man looked at Li Qiye's retreating back and couldn't help but feel cold. A very sharp cold light flashed deep in his eyes. His palms could not help but tremble. However, he did not take action. He still held tight.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart and still stood there quietly.
Although, on the surface, the old man seemed very calm, at that moment, there were thousands of thoughts passing through his mind. Even in the midst of stone, fire, and lightning, he had no idea what was going on in his mind.
How many killing moves are rolling around.
It can be said that at this moment, all the killing techniques flashed through his mind.
When Li Qiye turned his back to him, the door was wide open. Between the stone, fire and lightning, the old man thought that he had thousands of ways to kill Li Qiye. He thought that he could give Li Qiye a fatal blow.
If you do this, Li Qiye's life will be taken.
However, in the end, the old man still held back. His hands trembled, and his rationality allowed him to firmly suppress his impulse to take action.
It was precisely because Li Qiye was wide open at this moment and was not at all defensive that the old man felt uncertain for a moment, and he did not know what kind of person Li Qiye was.
In fact, along the way, he had not figured out what kind of person Li Qiye was, but Li Qiye's various behaviors made him feel that Li Qiye did not pose a threat.
However, intuitively, he felt that Li Qiye was a dangerous person. This very contradictory feeling made him somewhat at a loss.
The old man stood there and watched Li Qiye leave. He did not look back until Li Qiye's figure disappeared into the mountains.
During the whole process, Li Qiye moved forward slowly, very naturally, without the slightest precaution. It seemed that he had not discovered anything at all. He might not even know that in the moment just now, he was probably at the gate of hell.
Went there several times.
It wasn't until Li Qiye's figure disappeared into the mountains that the old man withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you are so bold. I would like to know who this is." As he said this, his eyes could not help but tremble.
.
At this time, the old man couldn't help but feel that all this made no sense. For him, it all happened too suddenly without any warning.
"What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" The old man couldn't help but pondered.
For a moment, he had no idea in his heart, because this was too unexpected. Not only him, but any ancestor of the Buddha's Holy Land, any powerful being, would never have thought of such a thing happening.
There was no sign, no announcement, not even a little bit of news.
At this time, the old man couldn't help but look in the other direction of the Buddha's Holy Land, his eyes turned cold, and he murmured: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to change the sky?"
When he said this, the old man's eyes revealed a terrifying murderous intent.
However, the old man felt that this seemed a bit impossible. If the sky really changed, it would be too abrupt. I am afraid that no one in the Holy Land of Buddha would accept it.
"What can a junior change?" After a while, the old man came back to his senses and looked at the direction Li Qiye left, thoughtfully.
If an unparalleled genius appeared, he would still be able to understand it. However, such an ordinary boy appeared. From a moral point of view, he was extremely shallow. This was incomprehensible and unexplainable.
However, the old man did not follow Li Qiye. He felt that this was a very unwise move.
Because he knew that although Li Qiye's Taoism was shallow, there were still people behind him.
