Xu Dao came out of seclusion again. Thanks to the rich spiritual materials in the pockets of the three Yaksha disciples, some of whom were far richer than the average Taoist disciples, his hunger and thirst were relieved within two or three days.
At the same time, with three tooth generals that can move independently, Su Jiu does not have to run for Xu Dao. He has his own tooth generals and scale soldiers to search for blood and food.
After walking out of the new cave, Xu Dao looked towards the west, a look of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
The direction where Yaksha Gate is located is exactly in the west.
Previously, Xu Dao only roughly knew the direction of this door, but now through the words of several Yaksha Sect disciples, he already knew the specific direction of the door.
Thoughts were surging in his mind, and he was making the last calculation before departure.
The reason why I am preparing to go to Yaksha Gate is not only because in fact, apart from the White Bone Temple and Sheshan Mountain, it is the last place of cultivation in the southwest. Its gate is also full of people from the immortal way, and there are many magic arts, which is exactly what Xu Dao wants.
This is especially because compared to the Baigu Temple and the Shezhao Tribe, which are located on the border, the territory where the Yaksha Gate is located is already within the territory of the Wu Kingdom, which is densely populated and a fertile land.
Xu Dao is heading north. Even if Yaksha doesn't come in, he still has a good chance to go elsewhere.
The only thing that made Xu Dao doubtful was the existence of the ghost and god he had seen in Taoist Xiong Sha's mind before. Although the other person's thoughts and the resentment left secretly had been resolved by Xu Dao.
But no matter what, those ghosts and gods are Jindan-level existences, and Xu Dao cannot match them. If they were to fight, he would only be crushed to death by his opponent's fingers.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Dao thought of the demon locust tree outside the Black Mountain and the mirage body in the Dragon Palace.
"Back then, when I was only in the early stage of Qi refining, I could hang out in the Black Mountains and earn great benefits. Now that my physical body has become the foundation, why are I still shrinking?"
Xu Dao sneered in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and shattered all the distracting thoughts in his mind. At the same time, there was a cold light in his eyes.
To build the foundation of the Immortal Way, you need to use gods, ghosts or gods as spiritual roots. Since the founder of the Yaksha Sect is a golden elixir ghost, wouldn't it be just right to bleed and cut the flesh and give it to a certain Yin God to build the foundation?
He thought in his mind: "In ancient times, there was a great power in the West who cut meat and fed it to eagles. The appearance of the founder of the Yasha sect is quite similar to the rumored great power in the West, and he is from the West. Why can't he do this to me? It will save me from having to do it again.
Thinking about his disciples..."
Of course, that's what he thought, but if he was really asked to plot against a living golden elixir ghost and god, he would never dare.
But no matter what, Xu Dao's mind settled down. He chuckled, turned around and called to Su Jiu behind him: "We are about to set off, are Jiu'er ready?"
"It's coming, it's coming! Master, I'm fine." Immediately, a voice came from the cave, and it was the voice of the little fox girl Su Jiu.
She ran out of the cave with a red face and was combing her clothes. Her body was slightly naked. She didn't know if she had just woken up or something.
When Xu Dao saw Su Jiu's appearance, he took the initiative to step forward, hugged Su Jiu's body, and whispered:
"It's cold at high places, so wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
After saying that, Xu Dao helped Su Jiu to check his clothes in a serious manner, which immediately made Su Jiu cry out.
There is a journey of several thousand miles from Sheshan to the boundary of Yaksha Gate, and the roads between the two places are blocked. It is just as difficult as Xu Dao and his convoy coming from the boundary of Baigu Temple to Sheshan.
Originally, if someone wanted to go from Sheshan to the territory of Wu, they would wait for the Wuxia River to open, take a big boat, and go down the river.
And something big happened on Sheshan Mountain. Xu Dao also killed several disciples of Yaksha Gate, including disciples like Xiong Sha who entered the house. Naturally, he would not go to Yaksha Gate along the river.
In order to avoid encountering Taoist disciples from the Yaksha Sect along the way, and another conflict will occur, it will be a troublesome matter.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to walk now. He can directly go up to the sky, cross the mountains and ridges, and go straight to his destination in the west.
Because his physical body was still in the process of transformation, Xu Dao was not tired of traveling every day. He could fly with his sword for a few hours at most in a day, and spent the rest of the time walking and eating.
Along the way, the tooth generals continued to hunt and bring him blood and food, providing him with what he needed for his physical transformation.
In addition, Xu Dao and Su Jiu also had other incidents along the way, which hindered their speed.
………………
About ten days later, the two of them had completely left the wilderness and penetrated deep into the territory of Wu Kingdom. Smoke from cooking stoves often rose in their field of vision, and villages passed by their feet from time to time.
After arriving near the prefecture and county where Yaksha Gate is located, Xu Dao took the initiative to descend from the sky and started walking on land.
Just like when he left the White Bone Temple before, he bought himself a donkey and rode on it, letting Su Jiu lead the donkey in front, and the two of them hurried on the road.
When they reached the wilderness, Xu Dao would simply lift Su Jiu onto the back of the donkey, and they would ride on the same donkey together.
This day.
Dusk had arrived, and the light on the country road began to dim. It was a little far away from the previous village, and because he was unfamiliar with the place, Xu Dao didn't know how many miles there were to the next village.
Just when he was about to tell Su Jiu, and the two of them were spending the night in the wilderness, the donkey was walking, its feet suddenly accelerated, and it ran forward in a hurry.
When the master and servant on the donkey came to their senses, the hills ahead turned and lights appeared at the end of their eyes.
Xu Dao took a quick look and found that it was a small two-story outdoor shop facing the road. There was a signboard outside the outdoor shop with a big word "Su" embroidered on it.
There is also a fence made of logs around the store, one person high, to guard against wild beasts that may appear in the countryside.
Only then did Xu Daofang realize that it must be that the old donkey under his crotch knew the road and felt that he was about to reach a resting place, so he was so excited.
“I’ve only heard that ‘an old horse knows the way’, but I didn’t expect that a donkey like me that I bought randomly in the county can also ‘an old donkey knows the way.’”
Riding on the donkey, Xu Dao stroked the donkey's back and chuckled a few times. Then he hugged Su Jiu in his arms and kicked the old donkey in the belly, signaling it to drive harder forward.
Xu Dao casually ordered: "When we get to the inn, I will feed you the best fodder."
When the old donkey heard it, he didn't know if he could understand human speech, or because he was close to the inn, he became excited. The donkey grinned, snorted, and called out: "Hey!"
When Su Jiu saw that the two of them did not have to sleep in the wild and had hot water to bathe in, her eyes also shone and her little face showed a look of joy.
Not long after, the bell on the donkey's neck dangled. The waiter in the wild shop heard the bell and hurriedly came out to greet the two of them.
The waiter took the donkey, then took a wooden stool from the side and placed it beside the donkey for Xu Dao and Xu Dao on the donkey's back to get down.
The waiter also said jokingly: "Look at your precious donkey. It looks like he is not young, but he is strong and strong. He has been traveling all day without any signs of exertion."
Xu Dao heard this and replied with a slight smile on his face: "This donkey is lazy. He has been walking and stopping all the way. Of course he is not tired." He handed over to the waiter: "Can you please help me prepare some clothes in the store for it?"
The fodder you wait for is considered as taking care of it."
"Okay!" the waiter called, and then led Xu Dao's donkey to the backyard.
After Su Jiu got off the donkey, she straightened her clothes and pretended to be a servant, riding in front of Xu Dao.
It's just that this waiter was dressed strangely, with her head wrapped tightly in a cloth. Others couldn't see a hair on her head, which made the waiter just now think she had leprosy on her head and was embarrassed to see her.
people.
Su Jiu walked quickly in front of Xu Dao and opened the bamboo curtain at the entrance of the inn for Xu Dao. She also raised her head to look into the store, then immediately shook her body and looked back at Xu Dao.
When Xu Dao saw her in such a condition, he didn't even look at her. He stretched out his hand and said, "Don't panic."
He opened the bamboo curtain himself, lowered his head and walked into the inn.
Although it is summer now, it is not the height of summer. There is thick fog in the mountains and forests, and when the sun sets, the outdoors will become slightly colder.
This rural shop put down a bamboo curtain at the door of the small building and lit a charcoal fire inside.
In the steaming heat, the first thing Xu Dao saw after approaching the inn was a coffin placed in the lobby of the hotel.
The coffin is surrounded by yellow paint, and there are several strong men taking a rest in the inn. They are wearing linen and mourning, and they are obviously the coffin bearers.
Xu Dao and his servant walked into the store and immediately attracted the attention of the strong men.
At this time, there was an exclamation in the store: "Hey! There is a customer. You are a bitch asking for a beating. When the customer comes, you don't even personally bring him in."
It was the old man in a long gown who was typing an abacus and settling accounts in front of the counter in the hall. He should be the shopkeeper of the inn in front of him.
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked up to Xu Dao and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I really surprised the guest. I would like to invite the guest to have a cup of tea first to calm down the shock."
What he was talking about was the yellow-painted coffin placed in his shop.
When the shopkeeper apologized, the strong men who were staring at Xu Dao and the two also stood up and apologized to the two.
Fortunately, Xu Dao didn't care much about meeting a coffin in the countryside at night. He waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to lead the way. He opened an upper room for himself and prepared hot water for bathing.
Seeing that the new customers were so courageous, the shopkeeper was also happy. He quickly personally guided Xu Dao and Su Jiu upstairs, talking non-stop about the services and food in his store.
