Li Xiuping's response was indeed effective. For three consecutive days, the man in black robes did not appear again; and because he chose a far-away road instead of the near, he didn't meet anyone on the road. Although he occasionally encountered some ferocious beasts, Xu Bansheng It can all be settled.
In the past three days, Li Xiuping's injuries gradually improved with the help of Xu Bansheng's constant energy drive. On the contrary, Xu Bansheng was haggard mentally and physically, and his originally fat body suddenly lost weight.
In just three days, he not only had to use his energy to help Li Xiuping heal, but he also had to deal with those ferocious beasts. The most important thing was that he did not dare to relax for a moment, and kept his nerves tense, fearing that the man in black robes would suddenly appear from somewhere with him. Breaking out from unexpected places...
At this moment, the carriage stopped beside the road because there was a landslide in front of it. Although the area was not very large, a tree blocked the road and the carriage could not move forward at all.
The man driving the cart was using a knife to cut off the tree to create a passable road.
Xu Bansheng stood on the top of the carriage, observing the situation around him with two big dark circles under his eyes.
"Where have we been?"
Li Xiuping's voice came from the carriage, and then Li Xiuping walked out of the carriage.
Xu Bansheng was stunned, jumped down from the carriage, helped Li Xiuping get out of the carriage, and asked: "Are you awake?"
Li Xiuping nodded. He had been in a coma for the past three days, but he slept soundly. This had a lot to do with Xu Bansheng's continuous influx of energy into him.
Xu Bansheng continued to ask: "How do you feel?"
Li Xiuping looked around and replied: "It's okay."
He looked at Xu Bansheng and couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "Thank you for your hard work! You can rest well and leave the rest to me."
Xu Bansheng grinned, shook his head and said, "It's okay, just take good care of your injuries."
Li Xiuping said seriously: "The road ahead is still long, and you still need to solve some problems. If you collapse from exhaustion first, then we really have no hope of returning to Huayang Sect."
Xu Bansheng nodded and asked with some concern: "Are you really okay?"
Li Xiuping nodded firmly.
Xu Bansheng chuckled and said: "To be honest, I haven't slept for three days and three nights. I have never been like this before. I am really exhausted."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Go and rest. Since there have been no problems for three days, there should be no problems in the future."
Xu Bansheng climbed onto the carriage and seemed to remember something. He handed the Earth Dragon Pearl to Li Xiuping and said, "Take this thing."
Li Xiuping did not refuse, took the Earth Dragon Pearl and held it in his hand.
Soon, snoring could be heard in the carriage, which showed that Xu Bansheng was indeed very tired these days.
Listening to Xu Bansheng's snoring, Li Xiuping smiled knowingly, and then shouted to the busy man in front of him: "Uncle Cheng, take a rest."
The man probably didn't realize that Li Xiuping had woken up. When he heard Li Xiuping's voice, he stopped what he was doing, turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can leave soon. Master, please wait a moment."
Li Xiuping nodded, walked up with a bottle of water, handed it to the man and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Cheng."
The man took the kettle, sat down, smiled honestly, and said: "To be honest, I never thought that I would encounter so many things in this life. If I can survive this time, I must tell my family about these earth-shattering things." Baby, let him know that his father has also seen the world."
Li Xiuping smiled and asked, "How old is Uncle Chen's child?"
When the man thought of his child, a happy smile appeared on his face, he stretched out a calloused hand and said: "Next spring, he will be five years old."
He looked at Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the young master's jokes. In fact, the old man just wanted to make more money, so he agreed to Director Gao. He just didn't want his baby to be like his father and have no future in his life. "
He returned the kettle to Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "Stop talking, sir, just wait a little longer and we will be able to leave this way soon."
After saying that, he picked up the knife and continued to chop down the tree.
Li Xiuping took the kettle and stepped away, looking at the burly back of the man, wondering what he was thinking.
On the mountain road, the sound of felling trees continued to be heard, and then echoed in the valley, which was particularly ethereal.
After standing like this for a while, Li Xiuping turned around and walked back to the carriage, feeling a little distracted listening to the sound of chopping trees and Xu Bansheng's snoring.
At this moment, the young man didn't think about anything, except that he missed his master.
If the master was still here, he definitely wouldn't have to run so far and encounter so many dangers. The old man would be like the man in front of him, protecting him at all costs and giving him everything he could...
It's a pity that the master is dead, and he can only rely on himself for everything that follows.
The young man suddenly looked back at the carriage.
Although the master is gone, there is now an additional senior brother, which seems good.
As the road opened up, the carriage continued to move forward. Li Xiuping did not return to the carriage, but sat side by side with the man driving the carriage, looking at the rugged and winding mountain road ahead.
This road has indeed been untraveled for a long time. It is covered with all kinds of weeds. Fortunately, it is autumn and the grass and trees have withered, otherwise it will definitely be more difficult to walk.
According to this situation, it would probably take a lot of time to reach Yunzhou City, and the water and food they brought before were running low, and they needed to find opportunities to replenish them.
During the following period, I just rushed on the road every day. Except for the occasional encounter with some ferocious beasts in the mountains, nothing major happened. During this period, Xu Bansheng and Li Xiuping took turns to rest, ensuring that one person would always be alert to the surroundings. It took a whole month to come down and finally saw Yunzhou City.
After this month of training, Li Xiuping's injuries have basically recovered. However, this time the injury is not serious after all. It is still a sword wound that penetrates the body, so even if the sword intention keeps nourishing it, it still leaves a dazzling scar. , if you want to recover, I am afraid you will need to use elixirs.
Of course, these are things to consider later.
The date for the Immortal Ascension Conference is getting closer and closer, and now Yunzhou City has gathered almost all the monks in Yunzhou, which can be said to be very lively.
Being able to witness the centenary event with your own eyes is a rare event for many people, so even if you are not qualified to participate, you still have to come and watch the excitement no matter how far away you are.
Looking at the continuous flow of people pouring into Yunzhou City, Xu Bansheng frowned and said: "If this continues, will Yunzhou City be able to accommodate so many people?"
The man said at this time: "The government will probably take control later. This was also the case when Chu Xincheng held some grand events in the past."
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "No wonder so many people entered Yunzhou City early. They were worried that they would not be able to get in if they arrived late. I don't know if our Huayang Sect left in advance, so that we would not have to go to Huayang City again. Yang Zong, otherwise I just went back and will be back in a few days."
The man smiled and said, "That's true."
Of course he hoped to quickly complete the task of escorting Li Xiuping and then go back to deliver the mission. But now that we have traveled such a long distance and encountered so many dangers, it is not less than ten days and a half.
As for the danger, he is not worried. Now that he has arrived in Yunzhou City, no matter how courageous the man in black robe is, he cannot do anything under the eyes of the Chen family. After leaving Yunzhou City, heading south is the territory of Huayang Sect, so there is no need to worry.
It can be said that after entering Yunzhou City, there is no longer any danger. At that time, as long as Li Xiuping is successfully sent to Huayang Sect and he returns to Chu Xincheng alone, naturally no one will have trouble with him, an ordinary person.
Xu Bansheng jumped off the carriage and said with a smile: "Anyway, since I came to Yunzhou City, I had to eat the sauce duck made by the shopkeeper of the Zhou family. My senior brother took me to eat it once before. The taste was really good." A must."
As he spoke, he almost drooled, and his steps couldn't help but move much faster.
Li Xiuping did not dare to relax at all. The more times like this, the more vigilant he had to be. After all, with the previous lesson, as long as the man in black robe is not dead, Li Xiuping cannot really feel at ease at any time or anywhere.
Not to mention that this is just Yunzhou City, even if it comes to Huayang Sect, it will not be excluded.
When Xu Bansheng thought about food, even ten cows couldn't pull it back, so Li Xiuping and the man driving the cart could only lead the horses behind and be urged by the guy. Fortunately, the road was not very far, and we reached our destination in less than half an hour.
There were a lot of people in the store, and the shopkeeper was extremely busy. Only a little girl helped, running in and out, sweating profusely.
Li Xiuping soon discovered that Xu Bansheng didn't seem to be completely here for the sauce duck this time, because although there was a sauce duck on the table, the guy's eyes were always on the woman, as long as the woman looked at him Here, whether you are looking at him or not, this guy will always have a silly smile on his face.
Li Xiuping didn't care much either. After all, he was just a child and didn't understand this. But Xu Bansheng didn't lie to him. The sauced duck here was indeed delicious. Li Xiuping had never eaten anything so delicious.
Although it was delicious, Li Xiuping did not dare to eat too much. Mr. Ou Ye said before that if he is used to eating bland food, if he suddenly eats a lot of fish and meat and eats and drinks indiscriminately, he will definitely be in bad shape.
After a while, Li Xiuping noticed that Xu Bansheng suddenly stood up and rushed over.
With doubts, Li Xiuping could only look up and soon understood what was going on.
At this time, several men were flirting with the woman in the store. The shopkeeper obviously hadn't noticed yet, or perhaps no one else in the store had noticed. Only Xu Bansheng, who had been paying attention to the woman, noticed.
After seeing the situation clearly, Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown, because this meant that there would definitely be trouble again. Although that group of people did not look like practitioners, judging from the clothes they were wearing, they must be young men from wealthy families.
This kind of people rely on their family background to run rampant and bully men and women. They are the most hateful, but they are also the most troublesome, but the degree of trouble is related to the status of their parents.
Li Xiuping frowned. Why does trouble appear whenever you meet someone?
