Shu Yifan was very capable. He didn't know whether to fish or catch, but he just got a few fish from the river.
On this cold night without wind, three people and one cat lit a fire, cooked fish soup, and talked about the affairs of the world all night long on a road dug into a cliff near the water. They didn't fall asleep until late at night.
Xing Wu's snoring was loud.
Shu Yifan was alert all night.
Early the next morning.
A few people used some remaining firewood to heat up the leftover fish soup from last night, and had a breakfast of steamed pancakes and steamed buns.
The swordsman rushed to the river to wash the dishes.
Xing Wu then handed over to the two of them: "Mr. Song, Da Xia Shu, I'm lucky enough to meet, oh, and Empress Sanhua. It's really fun to meet the three of them. It just so happens that the three of them are going to Hezhou, and so are I. Why don't I invite the three of you?
Let me go with you so that we can go faster."
The calico cat looked at his horse.
Shu Yifan looked at Song You.
"My foot power is so fast that I can travel thousands of miles a day, which is comparable to the top horses. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up."
"a piece of cake!"
Xing Wu laughed loudly and said to them: "I am not the only one who can use this skill. If you are willing, sir, I can also help you with some strength."
Then he looked at the calico cat and the two horses, one black and one red, and said, "I'm not familiar with the legs and feet of a cat, and I'm not familiar with other animals either, except donkeys and horses, but I'm familiar with them."
.”
"I wonder how I can use this ability to improve my leg strength?" Song You asked curiously.
"Sir, don't worry. It's very simple."
.If you are willing to prick your calf with a needle to release the black blood in the leg, your body will be as light as a swallow and you can walk five hundred miles a day. If you are willing to remove your kneecaps, you can walk a thousand miles a day."
"It's really amazing."
Yesterday, Song You was a stranger. It was difficult for Song You to ask him about his skills as soon as he came up. However, after chatting all night, he got acquainted with him a lot. Knowing that this person was an upright person and very simple, Song You said to him: "To be honest, before I leave,
I have heard of this kind of ability to travel, but it is not the same as what I said. I have never seen it since I came down the mountain. I don’t know where this ability came from."
Xing Wu laughed again, quite proud, and was not afraid that they had bad intentions, so he told them.
It turns out that this is a skill that has been passed down in their family for many years.
Xing Wu studied for more than 20 years before he succeeded.
There are some experts in other places who have similar skills. In short, they can walk fast, but they can only be used on themselves. Only the skill passed down from their family is said to have been used by a small country in the north. It can be used by others.
Others and donkeys and horses also improved their leg strength, but later that small country was destroyed and the tradition was lost. Now I heard that there are still people outside the Great Wall who know this kind of magic, but they are the only ones left in Dayan.
He was the only one left in their family.
After Xing Wu finished speaking, he invited them to go with him.
and said to them:
"If sir and your hero are afraid, you can just apply the elixir on your legs and travel three hundred miles a day. I am willing to go with you two and have fun together. Even if you walk slower, it is better than walking alone."
.”
Shu Yifan still held his sword and remained silent.
Song You stroked the horse and said, "I want to try Shi Shi's magic first. Is it possible?"
"certainly!"
Xing Wu immediately took out a piece of talisman paper from the bag on his back, took out a bowl, used the elixir to dissolve half a bowl of water, held the talisman paper and said proudly to him: "Don't look at it, it's just a simple piece of paper."
In fact, these talisman papers are all drawn by my own hands. It takes half a day to draw each one. Even though the elixir is only in a crude bottle, it is quite difficult to refine it."
As he spoke, he shook the talisman paper.
After just shaking it a few times, the talisman paper started to burn.
Xing Wu immediately pressed it into the bowl.
All the talismans were submerged in the water, but they did not go out. Instead, they continued to burn and bubble in the water.
Until it burns to ashes.
At this time, the water was indistinguishable from the fuhui elixir, turning into a gray-black paste.
Xing Wu asked Song You to lift up his robe and pants, and smeared all the gray-black paste on his calves.
"Sir, you may feel that your calf is very cold, getting colder and colder, and for a while it will feel like being frozen, and for a while you will feel stinging, but please bear with it, it will get better soon. After you feel better, you will feel
My legs become very brisk and I can walk with twice the result with half the effort.”
Xing Wu raised his head and looked at Song You:
"How about it?"
But seeing Song You's expression as usual, he nodded and replied:
“It’s very refreshing.”
Xing Wu looked at him a few more times and found that he had no abnormality, and then said: "Sir, you are really a very human being!"
"How long will this last?"
"It depends on how you walk," Xing Wu said. "If you walk slower, it may last three to five days. If you keep running, covering hundreds of miles a day, it will be useless in one day."
"I wonder if I can give it a try?"
"Of course you can!"
"Then I'll go for a walk." Song You smiled and glanced at Shu Yifan and Sanhua Empress, "Please wait for me here. I'll be back in a while."
"yes!"
"Meow……"
Song You aimed in the direction he came from and took steps.
Sure enough, I felt that my whole body was much lighter. Not only did I move faster than before, but each step was also larger than before. I used about the same physical strength as before, but it was at least three times faster.
Walking is almost as good as running.
This feeling is quite interesting.
The calico cat took two steps and walked to the edge of the stone wall road, stretching its neck to stare at him.
Soon Song You's figure disappeared.
The calico cat stood up and stretched its neck no matter how long it was. It could no longer be seen, so it had to sit down, licking its paws, and waiting obediently.
After a while, Song You came back again.
"What do you think, sir?"
"This spell is really magical. If people in the army know about it, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to be a guest."
"Haha, to be honest, I have long heard that Chen Ziyi from the north is a hero in the world and a famous general throughout the ages. This time he is going to the north to join the army, so that his skills can be put to use!" Xing Wu said, "I just want to use this spell.
It’s not unlimited, but I don’t know if the military takes it seriously.”
"This is a magical skill."
"Haha! Sir, do you want to go with us?"
"..." Song You thought for a moment, then declined apologetically, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going down the mountain this time to travel around the world, so I shouldn't be in a hurry, I'll have to let down my steps."
"Travel and practice?"
"Not even close."
"I'm so envious."
"There is nothing to envy. The ability of one step is worthy of admiration."
"It's just a pity..." Xing Wu could only shake his head, "It's not easy to meet the two of you, but I can only go alone."
"Be cheerful and generous when you step forward, and there will be friends waiting for you ahead."
"I would like to lend my husband some kind words."
"The magic talisman and elixir that I'm going to have are good things. I happen to have some skills in subjugating demons." Song You said to him again, "The north I'm going to is in troubled times. I heard people say that there are many demons on the road.
, I also brought a few talismans in my luggage, one can ward off evil spirits, and one can exorcise ghosts. One is given to me as a gift, and I want to exchange the other one with me for a magic talisman and an elixir. Is that okay?"
"oops!"
Xing Wu was overjoyed upon hearing this: "It couldn't be better!"
So he took out a magical talisman and an elixir from his bag, and Song You also took out two talismans from his quilt bag. The two parties exchanged them, and everyone was very happy.
"Haha, I didn't expect to miss Changjing, but I met you two. It's a blessing."
"I also wish you a safe journey."
"Meow~"
"Although I have the ability, you must know that the chaos in the north is not only the monsters, but also the hearts of the people." Shu Yifan watched the whole night and saw a bit of this man's temperament, and his tone became much softer, "My temperament
It's a good thing to be cheerful and generous, but please be more careful when meeting people after leaving Angzhou."
"Thank you very much, I will keep it in my heart."
After Xing Wu finished speaking, he set off on the road again.
Just like when he came, he was as fast as the wind. I'm afraid he had removed his kneecaps. I don't know how he could walk faster after removing his kneecaps. In short, judging from his current speed, I'm afraid he could travel thousands of miles in a day. If he were halfway
If there is no wind and rain, I will walk to the middle of Hezhou without saying anything before dark today.
"There are countless wonderful people in the world."
Song You shook his head with a smile, put away the magic talisman and elixir in his hand, and said to the people around him:
"Let's go too."
"good."
The two of them, one cat and one horse, hit the road again.
The river water is higher than yesterday.
Walking along the water, there was no sign of the strange man in front of them, but they were not in a hurry. As they walked, they looked at the water in the river and watched the fish floating up and bubbling.
After leaving Changjing, the poverty visible to the naked eye, whether in cities or villages, became deserted. This gap is normal. The prosperity and wealth of this era mainly come from exploitation, and the astonishing prosperity and wealth of Changjing are the result of the establishment of the city.
In terms of the exploitation and oppression of surrounding areas and even the whole country, only the continuous blood transfusion from hundreds of miles away to Changjing can keep this great city functioning normally.
The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes.
A few days later, on the mountain road.
The cat huddled in the saddle on the horse's back, with only its little head exposed and staring outside, while the Taoist walked slowly.
Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves ahead.
"Definitely..."
The swordsman in gray rode a black horse and ran back quickly.
"Hush!"
The black horse slowed down and stopped in front of the Taoist.
"gentlemen."
“How far is Huai Chang County?”
"Shu didn't go to Huaichang County, but he met someone on the road and asked, and he said it was still forty or fifty miles away." The swordsman raised his head and glanced at the sky: "It's getting dark, and I can't walk today, but Shu
If someone meets a villager ahead, there must be a village, and maybe we can stay overnight."
"It won't rain tonight, so it's okay to sleep in the barren mountains." Song You said, "But the food we brought is almost gone, so we can go get some food."
“I haven’t finished eating what Sanhua Empress brought~”
"yes!"
The swordsman in gray turned over and dismounted, and continued to lead the horse forward.
As expected, the sky quickly darkened.
Shu Yifan discerned the road ahead and vaguely recognized the place where he had asked for directions before, but the villagers he asked for directions had already gone home.
The swordsman was agile and could easily jump with his sword. Without using his hands to climb, he jumped to the big tree next to him in a few steps. Looking around from a high place, he finally saw some smoke clouds behind a mountain.
"There is smoke over there."
The group of people walked that way.
