"Ah! There's nothing to be afraid of. Just gather more people when going out." Lv Zhuangyuan shared his experience with Li Huowang.
"Oh? With more people, the yang energy will be strong, and those things won't dare to act?"
"Where! "Lv Zhuangyuan reloaded the tobacco and continued smoking," How many people can it eat? If you really encounter it, just run faster than others. Instead of worrying about these things, be careful of the robbers who steal silver and the big worms that eat people in the forest."
Li Huowang didn't know how to continue the conversation with him for a while.
"Come on, the bread is ready. Eat it while it's hot." Several white steamed buns roasted on tree branches were handed over by Luo Juanhua.
Li Huowang took them and handed them to the children next to him, whom he had picked up halfway.
These guys didn't care about anything and just rushed out of Qingfeng Temple when they saw the opportunity. They didn't even consider the consequences.
When Li Huowang met them on the road, he was almost starving.
As fellow disciples, Li Huowang couldn't just watch them suffer and brought them along.
Seeing that there was hot food, the others weren't polite and started eating. It was late at night, and they were indeed a bit hungry.
Watching the big guy eating one bite at a time, Lv Zhuangyuan's eye twitched. These were all white steamed buns. He couldn't bear to eat them himself, but he regretted being so generous just now.
At this moment, Li Huowang's words made him forget about his regret. "Old man, do you have a map? To be honest, we are not locals and we are a bit lost in this forest. We don't know where we are."
Yes, Li Huowang got lost before. The forest was all the same, and he couldn't determine his location. Asking others didn't help either.
They came from all over the place, and although they knew where their hometowns were, they couldn't say where they were now.
To avoid arousing suspicion, it seemed that Danyang Zi didn't find the medicine nearby.
"What? A map? No, but I know the roads here. Just ask me where you want to go!"
"Well, there are many places. You see which place is the closest." Li Huowang took out a bunch of notes from his sleeve.
"What is this? What's written on it?" Lv Zhuangyuan pulled the notes closer, and his wrinkled face piled up together as he struggled to read.
Although his name was Zhuangyuan, he wouldn't have become a top scholar if he had stayed in school.
Lv Zhuangyuan could read, but he didn't know many characters. With Li Huowang's translation, he finally understood all the addresses written on the notes.
After traveling around for so many years, he was an experienced troupe leader and knew a lot about geography.
However, knowing where these places were didn't mean that Li Huowang could easily get there.
"Well, how come there's Liang Guo? Didn't they fight with us a few years ago?" Lv Zhuangyuan crouched down and scratched the ground with a dry tobacco stick, presenting a simple map in front of Li Huowang.
If you had to describe the map he drew in one sentence, it would be like a pie falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.
At this time, their location was in the upper left corner of the pie. Moving from left to right, countries of all sizes were intertwined with each other."It looks a bit like the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, without unification." Li Huowang looked at the map on the ground and thought to himself.
Although he didn't have any hope, when he saw this map, he realized that he wasn't actually traveling to a certain dynasty in ancient times, but to a more special place.
"I only run around in this area to the north for work. I know this area, but once I go abroad, I really can't tell where I am. I heard that the plays they sing are different from ours."
Hearing this, Bai Lingmiao's heart tightened. Her family was in Niu Xin Mountain in Liang Guo, and it sounded like they were very far away from here.
Li Huowang keenly felt her unusualness and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't panic."
Lv Zhuangyuan looked at the strange dozen or so people in front of him, and his mind, which had been suppressed by fear, suddenly became active again.
"Um, this little Daoist, you see, there's a Jianye Town on your note, and our Lv family troupe happens to be passing by!"
"Hey, why don't we travel together?"
"Jianye Town? Whose is that?" Li Huowang searched for the note.
"Senior Li, my family is in Jianye Town." Zhao Wu suddenly spoke up.
"Moreover, there's a escort bureau in the town. As long as you give them silver, they can deliver the Nanping notes for you."
Hearing this, Li Huowang didn't hesitate and put the note back into his pocket. "Okay, old man, we'll rely on you to guide us along the way. Let's travel together to Jianye."
Whether it was to find the Black Tai Sui that could suppress his hallucinations, or to deliver letters to others, he needed to go to a place where information circulated, and they had almost finished their food.
And if possible, Li Huowang also wanted to find the so-called famous and righteous sects.
In such a dangerous place, without strength, he really couldn't survive. Anyone could easily trample on him, and he didn't want to be caught by another Danyang Zi.
Lv Zhuangyuan smiled and waved his hand repeatedly, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, it's nothing."
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
Although he said so, Lv Zhuangyuan was happy in his heart. With such a master accompanying him, he had a free escort!
After this trip, he could at least earn back the white steamed buns and five salted duck eggs he had just lost.
"Haha~" the fool beside him laughed loudly. He was full and wanted to sleep.
Looking at the others' blurred eyes, Lv Zhuangyuan stood up wisely. "We've been chatting until two in the morning. Little Daoist, you guys rest first. I'll keep watch."
"No need, I'll keep watch tonight." Li Huowang wasn't being polite, he just didn't want to let his guard down.
After so much trouble, everyone was tired, and the two groups of people with different goals sat around the warm campfire and fell into a dream, while Li Huowang, who was sitting alone, exchanged a silent gaze with Lv Zhuangyuan.
The next morning, Li Huowang was awakened by the dog boy who had kept watch in the latter half of the night. "Senior Li, the troupe is packing up."
"Let's go, we'll set off too." Li Huowang stood up with his long sword and slate, and followed the footsteps of the troupe with the others.As soon as they set off, both sides were obviously a bit restrained, and no one spoke. They occasionally stole glances and whispered to their companions.
But this did not include the leader Li Huowang and Lv Zhuangyuan, who chatted happily all the way.
Li Huowang wanted to get more information about everything here from Lv Zhuangyuan, and Lv Zhuangyuan wanted to get closer to the experts. After all, it didn't cost anything to say nice things, and it wouldn't hurt to say a few more.
"Oh my, young master, you are so powerful at such a young age. Your future achievements are limitless. Hahaha."
