Raindrops are still falling from the eaves, but the Yaju Inn in Qianzhou City has turned into a mess.
Countless tenants woke up.
The shopkeeper is gone!
No, the shopkeeper is missing!
Then everyone found the shopkeeper and waiter in the kitchen who were already in a vegetative state, and then countless government servants swarmed in.
But even if they turn Qianzhou City upside down, they don't care about Li Jing.
After all, they were already several miles away from the city, leaving Qianzhou far behind.
…………
The bamboo hat was hung next to the saddle, and Li Jing touched the horse Xiaobai's mane under his crotch, which was soaked with sweat.
Gently tugging on the reins, Xiaobai slowly slowed down his galloping speed.
The figure that had been following him slowly also slowed down.
"Chengdu is still far away, why not leave?"
Li Jing stopped Xiao Bai and turned his horse's head to look at the woman behind him who had changed back into men's clothing in white at some point.
"I have a problem, and it feels a bit serious now that I think about it."
The empress frowned slightly, holding the horse's belly between her legs and getting closer to Li Jing.
"Aren't you going to find that mysterious corpse hunter?"
Li Jing took off the sword box from his back.
"My relationship with the bad handsome man may not be as simple as you think. It would be fine if I took Longquan away alone."
"But now that you and I are taking Long Quan around together, you are like making an enemy of the bad handsome man in disguise."
The empress pulled the reins of the horse and looked past him with a calm expression.
"This is not something you should consider. Just make this deal with me a success."
"It would be a good idea to find my brother and return the Longquan Sword to its original owner."
Li Jing silently threw the sword box behind her back.
When Li Maozhen comes back, you may have to fight against the bad handsome man.
When the time comes, you have to find an opportunity to escape first, and then come out after Yuan Tiangang is dead.
But it seems that before he dies, he must die first...
Damn it, there’s no solution!
Sighing, Li Jing patted Xiao Bai's neck, picked up the reins and followed the person in front.
Once this matter is settled, everyone will owe nothing to each other.
…………
Xiaobai approached the white horse next to him, and the two horses seemed to be whispering.
The empress stood on the steps outside the musical instrument hall as if she were a virgin, waiting quietly with her hands behind her hands.
After a while, Li Jing came out happily holding a wooden flute.
"Here, here it is for you."
The empress raised her eyebrows lightly and glanced at the mediocre-looking flute. She went over to hold the white horse away from Xiaobai.
"I don't have time to waste time with you."
After all, Chengdu is a prosperous place. Even though it is already afternoon, there are still many people walking on the street. From time to time, pedestrians passing by look over curiously.
Li Jing awkwardly put the flute on her waist and caught up with him in two or three steps.
"This is not cost saving. You think my money is blown by the strong wind."
The empress did not answer, but lightly mounted her horse.
"How can we find the corpse chaser?"
Li Jing pointed to the flute at her waist with a serious look on her face.
"You really have to rely on him."
Li Jing then got on the horse and leaned against the horse.
"This corpse chaser is actually Hou Qing, one of the four great corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect. If based on age and seniority, he may be older than you and I combined..."
"If we want him to help us, we have to rely on the music-controlling ability of you, the Palace Master of Huanyinfang."
The figure of the empress on the horse in front looked slightly frail, but she walked slowly towards the city gate without saying a word.
There were many pedestrians on the street, so Li Jing could only fall behind at a distance, and only caught up with them when they reached the street.
"Just by teaching this man the ability to play the flute, we have received an incredible amount of help. You..."
"I don't know how to play the flute."
Li Jing's face froze and she said in confusion.
"What? You are the boss of Huanyinfang, right?"
The empress sneered, "Who said that the palace master of Huanyinfang must also be proficient in musical instruments?"
Li Jing was stunned, as if no one had really said it.
At this time, the city gate was in front of her. Li Jing sighed helplessly and hurried out in front of the empress.
"Then we have to find another way."
The empress followed behind with a calm expression, and the two of them left Chengdu City, which they had just entered not long ago.
Li Jing took out the flute from her waist and waved it in her hand, feeling depressed for a while.
"Okay, misstep."
"Didn't you say before that there is a market in Miao territory that sells the things we need? Why waste time looking for this corpse ancestor again?"
Seeing Li Jing tentatively put the flute to her mouth to try, the empress frowned slightly and made a sound.
After all, he still didn't speak up, and Li Jing pinched the horse's belly again.
"With your strength, you won't be afraid of walking in the Miao Territory. But as far as I know, the Miao Territory is not as stable as it seems from the outside. If this person helps us, it will naturally be a lot easier."
Seeing that the flute was put back on her waist, the empress spread her brows and looked far ahead.
"Is this the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
Li Jing silently picked up the reins and walked forward for a while before the two of them entered a lush bamboo forest.
Yesterday's heavy rain made the scorching heat a little lessening, but once inside the bamboo forest, Li Jing even felt like the seasons were changing.
There are tall bamboo trees on both sides of the road, and the sound of rustling bamboo leaves can be heard when the breeze passes.
Reaching out to catch a fallen leaf, Li Jing looked at the various graves of different heights in the depths of the bamboo forest and spoke uncertainly.
"It should be here..."
After all, he had only seen it on TV, and he only found it after asking a few passers-by.
The empress nodded slightly, "This environment is suitable for the title of the corpse exorcist."
Li Jing dismounted and explored the bamboo forest. He didn't see the scene of corpses carrying sedans in the image, so he walked out slowly.
"Let's go to the pavilion first. Maybe this person likes to sit there and drink tea..."
The empress did not express her opinion, but continued to ride her horse forward according to Li Jing's wishes.
The two followed the road for another mile before they saw a square pavilion on the side of the road.
Li Jing jumped off the horse and walked in. He touched the dust on the stone table and felt a little cold.
"It seems like everyone has been here for a long time..."
The empress sat on the horse and pondered for a moment before speaking to Li Jing.
"Give me the flute."
Li Jing took off the sword case and placed it on the corridor bench, then turned around in surprise.
"Don't you know how?"
The empress lowered her eyes and said calmly: "A little understanding."
Li Jing touched her chin. It seemed that she had never seen the empress use any musical instrument in the image, but she must have learned it through the influence of her ears and eyes.
There's nothing wrong with waiting anyway.
He took the flute off his waist and threw it from a distance.
"Then you try?"
Holding the wooden flute firmly in her hands, the empress wiped the flute hole with her sleeve.
Li Jing was speechless. He didn't touch his lips just now.
The next second, the empress jumped lightly, tapped her toes on the horse, and landed lightly on the top of the pavilion.
Li Jing walked out of the pavilion and looked over with squinted eyes.
Gently placing the flute across her mouth, the empress closed her eyes.
The sound of the flute rises melodiously. At first, the melody is quite soothing and soft, and then it turns to loud and exciting. There is a feeling of harmonious harmony between the flute and the sound of the flute.
Li Jing closed his eyes.
It turns out that this is called not knowing...
It took a long time before a flute song came to an end.
Li Jing looked at the empress dumbly, speechless.
The empress turned the flute with her fingers and looked around with squinted eyes.
"It seems that the flute sound you mentioned did not work on this person."
The empress landed and raised her eyebrows at Li Jing.
Li Jing glanced at the flute in her hand and shrugged.
"Maybe we came at the wrong time..."
At this time, a slight gasp could be heard in the bamboo forest not far from the two of them.
"This...this brother."
"I didn't catch up just now, can you play another song..."
