Mutated Tao Chapter 134: Mountain
In the small town at the foot of Henghua Mountain, Li Huowang walked forward with a group of people. It seemed the first time he had seen so many people, and the steamed buns were very tight against Li Huowang's legs.
Everyone is exhausted and needs a good rest.
Although Anci Temple is right in front of you, Li Huowang is not as anxious as before.
When the oppressive feeling that he might be replaced by Dan Yangzi at any time disappeared, he can finally relax properly now.
Li Huowang looked around with tired eyes.
This small town at the foot of the mountain is still the same as it was before. It may be an important place for transportation. Although it is not a market day, it is very lively with people coming and going on the road.
The only difference is that there are more beggars squatting in the corner.
When the ragged beggars saw Li Huowang and his group, especially the three carriages, they hurried over, held up the broken bowl in their hands to Li Huowang, and began to sing jingles.
"Look, take a look, here is a poor beggar, my uncle is kind and pity me, poor man, give me a bun and soup, I wish you a long life and good health..."
With a sound of "Clang!", the long sword was unsheathed, and the beggars scattered like birds and beasts.
"Three!"
The crisp sound of "pa" made Li Huowang subconsciously look over there.
"Bump! Sixty thousand~"
"Oh, what kind of hand is this, it's another nine cake."
"Hey~Yaoji! Haha! I can figure it out~ Hahaha, give me money!"
In the bustling sparrow hall, it is very lively, almost no seats are occupied, the dice and mahjong are constantly colliding, and everyone is concentrating on having fun.
"Oh, it turned out to be playing mahjong." Li Huowang turned around and continued walking.
After walking a few steps, Li Huowang came to the old inn where he lived before. After stepping over the threshold, he said to the waiter who came up to him: "We want to stay in the inn and work hard. Tell the cook behind us to bring some tough dishes. , but no pork."
"Hey, okay~ Guest officer, please come inside~"
"Brother Li, although we are rich in money, we can only get in and out, or we should have a little left over." Bai Lingmiao obviously complained about Li Huowang's generosity.
Sitting on the top seat of the Eight Immortals Table, Li Huowang took a sip of Xiao Er's tea and said, "It's okay, let's celebrate, it's not like eating like this every day."
"You still have the face to eat! You are not as good as a beast! Have you ever thought that when you were enjoying the food, those people were all killed by you! Why don't you die!!"
Facing Jiang Yingzi's unprovoked insults, Li Huowang didn't change his face, and continued to say to the others: "After the meal, you can wait here, Anci Temple is also dirty, I will come down soon."
At the beginning, two people suddenly appeared beside him, which was still very difficult for him to accept.
But with getting along day and night, Li Huowang has been able to fully adapt to a ghost that has already died and shouted in his ear.
All Jiang Yingzi can do is keep cursing, which doesn't affect Li Huowang too much.
Compared to Jiang Yingzi, Dan Yangzi has been standing in the distance and staring at him eeriely.
After some simple tests, Li Huowang found that these two people were indeed just fantasies and could not really affect him.
He doesn't know how long this situation can last, and whether someone else will appear in the future. But compared with being replaced by Dan Yangzi, the current situation seems less difficult to accept.
"Hey hey~ The dishes are here~ Qinglong goes out to the sea~! Erlong Xizhu~! Sanyang Kaitai~! Fulu Donghai~! All guests, please slow down~ other delicacies will arrive later~"
Lv Xiucai, who kept swallowing, was about to move his chopsticks when he was knocked down by Lu Zhuangyuan's cigarette stick. He smiled flatteringly at Li Huowang. "Master Xiao Dao, move your chopsticks first, you have worked hard all the way, this table is our treat."
Li Huowang glanced at him in surprise, he was too lazy to waste time on such trifles, so he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
I don't know why, but Li Huowang always felt that Lu Jiaban seemed more restrained in front of him.
Being on the road for many years, everyone has a big appetite, plus Bai Lingmiao and Gao Zhijian, two big appetites, a large table of dishes and two buckets of rice, will be eaten up quickly clean.
After drinking and eating, Li Huowang took another sip from his teacup and stood up, picked up his things and walked out of the inn.
"I'm leaving, I should be able to come down before dark."
As soon as Li Huowang left, Lu Juren put down the clean bowls and chopsticks in his hand, walked up to Lu Zhuangyuan and coughed lightly, "Father, come here."
When they came to the deserted stable behind the inn, the nervous Lu Juren leaned against the black horse that was eating beans, and asked in a very low voice: "Father! Why don't we leave! You really plan to keep following! You forgot about him—"
Which is not the case?
Speaking of which, he looked around and found no one else, then continued to lower his voice and said, "Did you forget what they said that night? That's not a master! That's a demon! Bloody red! Are you really afraid that one day he will eat us all?"
The wrinkled Lu Zhuangyuan took out the cigarette rod stuck in the back of his neck, lit it, and took a puff. "Perhaps... the little Daoist has some difficulties?"
"What's the reason for doing that kind of thing!! Hey, my dad, you are so confused!"
"Hey~! Are you looking for a fight! Say who is old and confused!!"
Facing the cigarette stick raised by Lu Zhuangyuan, the always simple and honest Lu Juren did not dodge, but stared stubbornly at his father in front of him.
"Let's forget about it! What about Xiu? What about your granddaughter Xiu'er? The storytellers have told me! Monsters like to eat virgins! You have the heart to put Xiu'er in danger?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhuangyuan rarely refuted anything, but took another deep breath, and the lit tobacco in the pipe suddenly lit up.
"Son, of course I know what you said, but along the way, didn't you see anything wrong?"
"I know what's going on. At first, there were just a few beggars on the side of the road. It didn't look like anything, but it won't be long before the children and daughters are sold. This world is going to be chaotic."
"Now that we are fleeing by ourselves, that is a sweet pastry that anyone can come and eat. Follow the little Taoist, at least the usual green forest thieves, it is impossible to get in."
"Your father has been living for decades, and he is still very accurate in judging people. Master Xiao Dao is not such a villain. Although he has great supernatural powers, his heart is not so mature, and he can't do things that are unconscionable."
"But"
"It's nothing to worry about, let's just leave it at that. I don't think your daughter-in-law has eaten much just now. It's not like her. She always feels like throwing up recently. Take her to see the doctor to see if she's pregnant. .”
