Moving along the southeast direction, Chen Chao soon encountered another problem, that is, since the man was a monk and his realm was unknown, it would be even more difficult for him to find traces of him, in case he chose to turn back again.
Shape, heading in a certain direction and deviating from the original route, then if Chen Chao wants to find the monk, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chen Chao, who was thinking about this problem all the way, really had a headache. He even thought about finding a place to expose his identity and mobilize the local guards and officers to take action. But after thinking about it in the end, he suddenly
I patted my head and realized that there were monsters everywhere in the surrounding mountains and forests. They are the most sensitive to human blood. If the monk did not deliberately hide his aura, even if the monk deliberately concealed his aura, as long as he did not hide the aura of the mother and daughter together, then
For those monsters, they will definitely be discovered.
Then Chen Chao only needs to ask the monsters nearby to get the monk's route. It's not an easy task to talk to those monsters. This is a pity. What Chen Chao is best at is talking to these monsters.
deal with.
Therefore, after going in and out of the mountains and forests several times, Chen Chao almost determined the monk's direction and pursued him in that direction without any problems.
It's just that the monk moved forward too fast, and Chen Chao hurried behind him. For four days, he still couldn't catch up with the monk.
At this moment, Chen Chao had already traveled thousands of miles deep into Bailu Prefecture and was getting further and further away from Huanglong Prefecture. After this trip, Chen Chao estimated that it would take more than a month to return to Huanglong Prefecture.
But now that he has decided to do this, Chen Chao will definitely not give up just because of the extra time. However, as time goes by, he becomes more and more worried about the safety of the mother and daughter.
At dusk of the day, Chen Chao walked out of the mountain forest again. His body was already a little tired. He had concentrated for many days and hurried slowly, but he still could not find the figure of the monk. This made him
Chen Chao was a little discouraged.
Subconsciously reaching out to hold the handle of the knife at his waist, Chen Chao looked forward, lost in thought.
…
…
Tianqing County.
Liu Banbi, who had stayed at his senior brother's house for a few days, was going to say goodbye and leave today to travel around Daliang. His final destination was the Sword Sect in Huanglong Prefecture. He wanted to interrogate swordsmanship with the Sword Sect's sword cultivators to see if the sword cultivators in the world were serious about it.
Exit the Sword Sect.
Zhou Gouqi did not try to retain his junior brother, but just sent him out of the door, and then said: "Before I leave Daliang and go north, I would like to see the teacher one more time, even if it is to say hello to the teacher on my behalf."
Liu Banbi frowned and wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded slowly, but then asked a question, "Senior Brother, when will you return to the Capital of Gods?"
Zhou Wolfberry seemed to be a little irresponsible and asked: "Why do you want to go back?"
Liu Banbi said with a smile: "You can't stay here all your life, right? Even if you feel guilty, you can't not see me, right? Besides, will you avenge your brother's revenge?"
Zhou Gouqi said with some melancholy: "Don't mention that matter again. As for revenge, that is my own business."
Liu Banbi shook his head sternly and said: "Senior Brother, what you said makes no sense. When the time comes, Junior Brother will be needed. Just write a letter to the North. Junior Brother can't do anything else, but now he is good at killing people."
Zhou Gouqi sneered: "So you don't plan to die on that Great Wall, but on someone else's mountain?"
He had high hopes for his junior brother, not to mention that this kind of thing was just his private matter, and he didn't want to involve his junior brother in it.
Liu Banbi said: "The teacher cannot take action due to his status, but I am different. I have stopped studying for a long time. No one can do anything about me. As for involving the academy, it is even more impossible."
Zhou Gouqi cursed in a low voice: "Is your life so unimportant?"
Liu Banbi shook his head and said softly: "Of course I'm afraid of death, but how to die? As long as you choose it by yourself, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Wolfberry got angry inexplicably and cursed: "Don't get involved in my affairs. You are saying this as if I don't have the ability and want you, my junior disciple, to stand out?"
Liu Banbi didn't answer, but suddenly turned around and shouted to the woman guarding the yard: "My sister-in-law's food is delicious. Senior brother married my sister-in-law. It's really a blessing from my previous life!"
The woman smiled gently and said softly: "If I have time in the future, I'll come back and I'll have enough food."
Liu Banbi smiled and nodded, and then looked at his senior brother.
"That kid used to live here?" Liu Banbi glanced at the yard opposite and his tone was a little unhappy.
Zhou Gouqi nodded and said with a smile: "He is a nice little guy with a bright mind, and he has really done something for the local people."
Liu Banbi snorted coldly: "It's a pity that he is a martial artist."
Zhou Wolfberry smiled but said nothing.
Zhou Gouqi suddenly asked: "Can you find the Jianzong Mountain Gate?"
The most powerful sword cultivator sect in the world has kept a very low profile in recent years. Except for the sword cultivators who have subordinates walking around the world from time to time, the other monks hardly know where the sword cultivator sect is.
Liu Banbi smiled and said: "I'm lucky. I happened to meet a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect in the north. Although I didn't tell me the specific location of the sect, there is a high probability that I will meet a swordsman by then. It should be no problem.
.”
After a pause, Liu Banbi smiled again and said: "Besides, although the Sword Sect's gang doesn't cause trouble, someone comes to visit, especially a sword cultivator who asks about swordsmanship. If they don't see them, they will be really embarrassed.
"
Zhou Gouqi snorted coldly, "I was afraid that you, the kid, would find me by then, but when I drew my sword, I would realize that I was the frog in the well."
"Haha, if that's the case, there's nothing to be sad about. I'm not as good as others, so I just keep practicing. Anyway, I'm still young and I'm still alive." Liu Banbi said, "It's just a question of swordsmanship, not a life-and-death battle. Senior brother, please relax.
Heart."
Zhou Gouqi nodded, not too worried. The sword cultivators from the Sword Sect did not have a reputation for being bloodthirsty. If they were just asking about swordsmanship, Liu Banbi's life should not be in danger.
Moreover, Jian Zong and the Liang Dynasty had never had any grudges. Even if it was for the teacher's sake, he would never really fight Liu Banbi to the death.
Liu Banbi bowed his hands and said goodbye seriously, "Senior brother, I have to say goodbye now. I don't know when we will see each other again. Please take care of yourself, senior brother."
Especially the last four words, Liu Banbi deliberately emphasized his tone.
Zhou Gouqi looked unkind and said, "You are an old bachelor, what do you know?"
Liu Banbi raised his eyebrows and did not refute. He just turned around and strode forward.
He did not leave immediately with his sword, probably because he was afraid of disturbing the local people.
Zhou Gouqi watched this junior brother go away. After Liu Banbi disappeared, his eyes fell on the courtyard door opposite again, and he sighed softly: "What's wrong with Wufu? If I hadn't read so many books, I would
