There are also allusions in this world similar to the story about the rat in Li Si's toilet. When he was young, he was a county official. He was frightened when he saw rats in the toilet of the official's house without food and approaching people and dogs.
Later, when I went to the granary, I saw rats in the granary, eating accumulated millet and living under the large veranda, without any worries about humans or dogs.
So Li Sinai sighed and said: "The virtuous and unworthy people are like rats, it depends on where they are!"
Later, he worked hard and became the prime minister of Qin Dynasty.
The father and son were killed in the Second World. Before he died, he said that at this time, it would be impossible to be a rat in the toilet again.
This means that the power struggle is dangerous and unpredictable. If you are successful today, you may be unlucky tomorrow.
If you get too close to powerful people and use your luck to practice, you may be in trouble at some point!
Tao Xiaowu had already been mentally prepared for this and said with a smile: "In that case, why does Mr. Zhong need to be proud of the emperor?"
After hearing this, the two of them laughed at each other: "A man is not worried about death, but he is worried about his failure to achieve success!"
At that time, Li Si was studying under Xunzi, and when he said goodbye to Xunzi and went to the Qin Dynasty to seek wealth and honor, he said: "No criticism is greater than being humble, and no sorrow is greater than poverty."
For Tao Xiaowu, this is not the case.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people, and current events force him to move forward step by step.
At this time, could Tao Xiaowu still be able to walk away?
When people are in the arena, they can’t help themselves!
At this time, Zhong You suddenly looked serious and said: "It seems that we are in some trouble tonight."
Tao Xiaowu's heart stirred, but other than a slight feeling of being stared at by something, he couldn't feel anything strange.
"I guess some blind ghosts and gods are targeting us!" Zhong You said calmly: "Let's set up camp early today. I want to see which ghosts and gods dare to come looking for death?"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
Not to mention that Zhong You is unpredictable, but that Tao Xiaowu is not easy to mess with.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tao Xiaowu has a command talisman in his hand that can directly summon the army of ghost soldiers from the ancient Xi Kingdom. What is there to be afraid of?
However, as if he could see what Tao Xiaowu was thinking, Na Zhong You said: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to use the Yin Soldier Talisman!"
Tao Xiaowu felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that he really went to Shenluo this time with the purpose of leading troops into Beijing.
In order to keep it secret, we even tried not to use it during the journey!
On this day, they slept in the wild early.
Since they had to deal with the enemy, they did not look for a place to stay in a pavilion or other place. Instead, they settled directly in the wilderness and had an early meal and rest.
It was almost nightfall when suddenly there was flying sand and rocks, and the leaves and trees were rustling around.
"Coming!"
Tao Xiaowu and Zhong You, who were sitting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes one after another.
But I heard howls of ghosts and wolves coming from all directions, and among the shadows, I saw many green light spots surrounding me from all directions.
"There are wolves!"
The guards disguised as merchants were startled and drew their bows and arrows one after another.
In such an era, the environment is primitive, the land is vast and the people are sparse, so it is normal to encounter wild beasts, tigers, wolves and the like along the way.
Therefore, when traveling for business, the number of people should not be too small, and all kinds of weapons should be carried with them.
Like a scholar who dared to travel around the world alone, that was at least something that happened after the Song and Ming Dynasties!
But the situation in front of us is by no means as simple as an ordinary pack of wolves.
Because it was mixed among the wolves, there seemed to be many ghostly shadows.
"I have always heard of ghosts crying and wolves howling before, and I thought it was just a description. But I didn't expect that these wolves and wild ghosts are really colluding," Tao Xiaowu said leisurely.
Na Zhongyou smiled and said: "I didn't expect that at this time, Mr. Tao would still be in the mood to joke. It seems that he really didn't take the enemy in front of him seriously!"
"It's just a ghost wolf. If these are the only enemies tonight, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just let me drive away these disgusting things first!"
Tao Xiaowu didn't finish his words, leaving three points behind.
Three thunder pills were thrown out casually!
This was three loud bangs, and the light suddenly appeared. A warm light came towards my face even though it was more than ten feet away.
Directly sweep away the cold air brought by those ghost wolves.
Amid the screams, dozens of wild ghosts were shattered like bubbles by such power.
The huge bright noise frightened the wolves, and they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.
This is Tao Xiaowu's newly refined thunder pill. It is no longer made by borrowing the power of Gui Qiyouyou, but is made with the energy of the sun. The formula has been adjusted a few points to increase the explosive power.
Therefore, although the power of this Sun Thunder Pill is a bit weaker, it is more restrained against ghosts.
At this time, three thunder pills passed by and had scared away all the ghosts.
However, neither Tao Xiaowu nor Zhong You took it seriously.
Just as Tao Xiaowu said, their real enemies tonight may not be these!
Seeing the wild ghosts and wolves fleeing, Zhong You just smiled lightly and said: "I didn't expect Tao Jun to actually know the art of external elixirs. We can discuss it with each other in the future."
But this refining of thunder pills was originally developed from the art of external alchemy.
In addition to the so-called gold that can be used to make elixirs, the art of refining elixirs and golden elixirs can be used.
There are also various other derived techniques. In the original world, the emergence of chemistry and physics was directly related to the external alchemy technique.
However, the art of external alchemy was introduced to the Middle East and then to the West, but it evolved into alchemy.
For example, a certain knight who was hit on the head by an apple actually studied alchemy as his main occupation. As for scientific research, it was a by-product!
Tao Xiaowu doesn’t know much about external alchemy
In another world, due to various abuses and conditions, the outer alchemy has declined since the rise of the inner alchemy and has become a secret tradition.
Tao Xiaowu doesn’t know much either!
At the very least, there was no content about external alchemy in some of the secret Taoist books he had obtained.
So, Tao Xiaowu said with a smile: "I will definitely ask Mr. Zhong for advice someday!"
As he said this, there was flying sand and rocks again, which made the person unable to open his eyes. The sand and rocks hit the person's body, and it hurt a lot.
“It’s really coming this time”
Just when Tao Xiaowu thought of this, he suddenly saw the ground shaking, almost losing his footing, as if there was an earthquake.
At this moment, Tao Xiaowu suddenly felt his ankle tighten, as if something had been snatched away.
Then there was a strong tug, causing Tao Xiaowu to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
But at some point, the ground cracked, and a blue-black ghost claw stretched out, grabbing Tao Xiaowu's ankle.
