Three days later, in the Governor's Mansion.
Zhang Meng, Wei Yun and others gathered in the courtyard.
After taking a look at Li Dao, who was dressed in simple clothes, Zhang Meng couldn't help but said, "Boss, please bring a few people with you."
Wei Yun followed closely, "I feel the same, boss, it might not be convenient for you to go alone."
"okay."
Li Dao hung the bamboo hat on his horse and looked at the people and said bluntly, "What's the inconvenience for me to be alone?"
"I'm just going to explore the road ahead of time. There's nothing to worry about."
"Besides, you have to worry about the wrong person."
After hearing this, a few people suddenly realized that they and others were a little concerned and confused.
After all, Li Dao's governor is different from other people's governors.
Under normal circumstances, the position of governor is similar to that of a civil servant.
Don't look at strength very much, but focus on your own abilities.
It can be seen from the previous governor of Southern Xinjiang that he was appointed by a high-ranking prince.
The safety issue is having guards around you.
And what about their governor?
Among all abilities, the force value is the most conspicuous, and his military exploits are outstanding.
It seems that they should not worry about the safety of their own governor, but should worry more about the people in Shiwandashan.
Looking at the speechless people, Li Dao then said, "Tiannan City has just been completely controlled by the Governor's Mansion, and you still need to guard it here."
"And if there is really a need to mobilize you, I will ask Bai Qian to inform you in advance."
"You don't know about Bai Qian's abilities, right?"
After hearing this, everyone had no other opinions.
With Bai Qian and Mo Qian's current abilities, if they really wanted to send a message, they could reach it from Shiwanda Mountain to Tiannan City in a very short time.
What's more important is that now they have grown from the original two small ones to two large ones, and can even carry people on flights.
Therefore, Li Dao's business is more convenient than imagined.
After finishing cleaning up, Li Dao went to the inner palace to greet Jiu'er and the Rakshasa Army.
After that, he set off alone.
...
Two days later.
On an ancient road near Shiwanda Mountain.
A figure on a horse is walking among them.
If you look carefully, you can see that the figure is dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat. Most of his face is covered by the shadow of the bamboo hat.
Not long after, the figure suddenly stopped.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome and heroic face.
"Reached......"
As he said that, Li Dao looked at the simple stone tablet not far away with the words 'Ten Ancient Towns' engraved on it.
After that, he walked along the ancient road for about a few miles, and a large mountain road that converged from various small mountain roads appeared in front of him. Looking far ahead, he saw a simple city wall standing between the two mountains.
At the same time, some other passers-by also came out from other mountain roads.
Li Dao rode his horse slowly to the main mountain road, lowered his hat and looked at the passers-by from the corner of his eye.
Although there was no communication, he could feel the dull atmosphere around him, as if there was a gap between everyone, and most people remained silent.
Moreover, he also keenly sensed that these people were more or less stained with the smell of blood.
Soon after, the gate of Shigu Town appeared in front of Li Dao.
Like Tiannan City, there are no so-called city gate guards in these ten ancient towns, not even gates. Everyone can come and go as they please.
Soon, Li Dao walked through the city gate and arrived at Shigu Town.
Then, countless noisy sounds entered his ears.
Compared to the indifference between people outside, the inside of Shigu Town is particularly lively. People wearing all kinds of strange clothes are shouting and selling on both sides, and there are also all kinds of pedestrians coming and going on the long street.
Unlike other towns, it is almost impossible to find civilians here.
Nine of the ten people had weapons on their waists, and the remaining one was full of the aura of keeping strangers away.
Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Li Dao felt an itch in his heart.
But he soon suppressed it and said silently in his heart, "I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. This time I am not here for these people."
After he calmed down, he decided to find a place to stay first, and then inquire about the Evil Blood Sect.
Soon after, Li Dao came to a semi-open restaurant.
As soon as I walked in, I saw all kinds of people gathering in the restaurant to drink and eat meat.
He walked to the front desk and asked, "Get a room."
The shopkeeper was not surprised to see Li Dao dressed in a concealed manner, and said cheerfully, "Guest, ten taels of silver."
"Twelve?"
Li Dao raised his eyebrows and subconsciously thought he had encountered a black shop.
After all, even in a place like the Imperial Capital, the best apartment costs only five taels at most, and the average place costs only one tael at most, which is a direct increase of ten times.
Seeing Li Dao's surprised look, the shopkeeper asked, "Is this your first time coming to Shigu Town?"
"Um."
"That's not surprising."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest, you should have seen what these ten ancient towns look like along the way."
"To put it simply, in these ancient towns, someone may be losing their life at any time, and there are many dangers."
"And if the guest stays in our restaurant, the guest can sleep peacefully without worrying about personal safety."
Hearing this, Li Dao understood.
While he wasn't worried about his own safety, he didn't want to get into trouble right from the start when he arrived.
So he simply took out ten taels of silver and threw it away.
After the shopkeeper took the money, he immediately shouted, "Waiter, take the guests!"
When the waiter arrived, the shopkeeper said happily, "Actually, my guest, you came to Shigu Town at the right time."
"What's the meaning?"
"Have your guests ever heard of the Miao family in southern Xinjiang?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I don’t know much about it.”
Although the Miao family is among the three families in Tiannan City, Li Dao actually doesn't know much about them.
Just because the Miao family and the Sun family are different.
Everyone in the Sun family has roots in Tiannan City, while the Miao family in Tiannan City is just a force that is not even a branch of the Miao family in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
When he sent people to clean up the Miao family in Tiannan City, they only cleaned up some small fish and shrimps, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
The shopkeeper then said, "Then let me tell you directly. In this Miao village in southern Xinjiang, there has always been a festival called the Gu God Festival."
"The so-called Gu God Festival is the Miao Village in the Hundred Thousand Mountains to commemorate the so-called Gu God."
"On the day of the Gu God Festival, almost all the younger generation in the Miao village will start fighting Gu."
"The point is, on this day, the Miao Village will also trade some special Gu insects they have."
Li Dao raised his eyebrows, "Special Gu insect?"
The shopkeeper explained with a smile, "Many outsiders don't understand and think that Miao village Gu insects are scary."
"But in fact, there are many types of Gu insects, and the effects are also strange."
"For example, there is a kind of Gu named Turtle Breath Gu. After swallowing it, you don't need to breathe for a short time."
"It's also like the wine poison, which can absorb wine from the human body and keep people from getting drunk after a thousand cups."
"These are just some ordinary Gu."
"Legend has it that there are some more magical voodoos, some that can increase a person's strength dramatically, and some that can increase a person's lifespan."
"In short, every year during the Gu God Festival, many people go to the Miao Village in Shiwanda Mountain to ask for Gu."
