I don't know which flute song ended, but Hou Qing was not in a hurry, just quietly enjoying the winding stream flowing at the bottom of the valley.
Holding the carving knife in his hand, he slightly carved the bone flute.
At this time, there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him.
Hou Qing turned around and saw that Li Jing's face was a little rosier. She was just climbing an old tree, straightening her back and looking around.
"Zi Zu, do you know how to get out of this cliff valley?"
Hou Qing stood up and looked at Li Jing carefully.
I saw that he looked better than before, but he was obviously weaker.
"It should be to the east..."
Hou Qing pointed to the lower reaches of the stream with his bone flute and muttered: "Just follow the stream and you can always get out."
Li Jing nodded, held the hilt of the sword with his hand, exhaled slowly, and strode over.
Just after finishing the entire bottle of pills, the Qi Sea had only recovered one-third.
Now the best he can do is to keep his internal energy from being lost, but it is difficult to condense his energy again.
If I continue to make up for it, I am afraid that I will also die of blood loss...
Hou Qing clapped his hands with his bone flute and suggested: "The road is rough, brother Li, why don't you let me carry you on my back."
Corpse Ancestor This is indeed a good suggestion. Along the stream, there are basically few signs of human activity.
Except for this open gravel beach, there are no roads in the rest of the area.
But Li Jing just waved his hand. Although he was a little weak now, he was still a warrior and would not be reduced to the point of being carried on his back.
"It will be nice to have a mount when we get out of the valley..."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Hou Qing naturally stopped talking. He just tapped his toes on the ground and jumped onto the branch beside him.
"Then I'll go to the front to check the situation. Brother Li needs to follow..."
Seeing the corpse ancestor leaving gracefully, Li Jing looked at the hang glider that fell aside.
Previously in Fengxiang, Corpse Ancestor appeared and disappeared all day long, presumably tinkering with this thing.
As long as it can produce energy, it may not be a useful tool...
Li Jing sighed, forgetting to ask Corpse Ancestor to destroy it before leaving...
With a slightly gloomy expression on his face, he drew up the Longquan Sword stuck on the gravel beach and lifted his belly a little.
Accompanied by a low shout, the Longquan Sword was waved from bottom to top, and a sword energy rose out of thin air.
"boom……"
The already somewhat damaged hang glider was torn into pieces by the sword energy in an instant. The sawdust flew across and fell into the stream, where it was hit by the slightly turbulent water flow.
There was a dull pain in my abdomen, and my lips turned a little whiter.
Li Jing wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly to himself.
"It seems that before recovery, we should do as little exercise as possible..."
With this thought in mind, he moved forward along the stream. He couldn't keep Corpse Ancestor waiting for a long time, right?
Although he was a wounded person, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Even though it was a rugged mountain road, he still strode forward. Within a moment, the figure had left the gravel beach.
The traces of people disappeared, and Yagu fell into silence again.
Only wisps of cloth scattered on the river beach showed that someone had been here.
…………
When we walked out of Yagu, we were already in the outskirts of Yuzhou City, dozens of miles away from Qingcheng Mountain.
Fortunately, Corpse Ancestor is here.
Li Jing wore the mask of her previous life and just sat at a tea stall drinking tea slowly, thinking about the island.
It just so happens that Corpse Ancestor is here, so we can return to Bianzhou together and introduce Wen Tao to him. It just so happened that they were both wandering people, so they could go looking for the island to sit on together.
If I remember correctly, in the anime, Wen Tao and Shangguan Yunque were running around looking for clues to the Longquan treasure.
But it took too long...
After all, improving one's own strength is now a top priority, and the "Seven Star Art" on the island seems to have great potential.
While Li Jing was thinking, she held the teacup in her hand and took a slow sip.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves hitting the ground from ahead. Li Jing looked up and saw Hou Qing galloping over on a variegated horse, followed by his black horse Xiaobai.
Back then, I picked up the little black horse in the wild near the underground palace and raised it until it was this big.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that this horse is psychic and very to his liking, just like his adopted son. So I have been reluctant to throw it away, and feed the best horse feed wherever I go.
Xiaobai's hooves were flying, and when he saw Li Jing from a distance, he let out an excited neighing sound, which made the guests in the tea stall look over curiously.
In today's world, having a good horse is a big deal.
In troubled times, horses are more valuable than people...
However, many strong men who were greedy did not dare to do anything when they saw Hou Qing dressed strangely.
Anyone who dares to carry such a horse through the city alone is probably not a good person.
Sure enough, as soon as the blond man arrived, the tall and thin young man in the tea stall, who didn't seem to be easy to get along with, stood up and greeted him.
The young man was holding a long and wide weapon tightly wrapped with a strip of cloth. Although he couldn't see clearly what it was, judging from its shape, it was probably a sharp weapon.
For a moment, people who were interested in competing for the horse sat down one after another.
Hou Qing glanced at the tea stall curiously, focusing on the table full of strong men, and nodded secretly.
If this person is a dead person, it is suitable to guard the door.
As for carrying a sedan chair, it seems to be pretty good, but a bit ugly.
"Zi Ancestor, you just happen to come with me to Bianzhou. The person I told you about before is right there."
Li Jing walked over, first touched Xiaobai's beautiful mane, then hung the Longquan sword wrapped in gray cloth on the side, and suggested to Hou Qing.
Hou Qing turned his head and looked at Li Jing curiously.
"That person?"
Then I figured out who the Thief Saint was...
Brother Li is really awesome!
Thinking of this, Hou Qing couldn't wait any longer, so he just tightened the reins to hide his excitement.
Li Chunfeng, "Yi Jizhan", known five hundred years before and five hundred years later...
It's been a long time since I've had anything exciting.
Seeing Hou Qing's rare expression of joy, Li Jing swallowed what he had not yet finished speaking.
It's better to go to Bianzhou first, and wait until we meet Wen Tao to see what their plans are.
I also happened to go buy some medicinal materials and make some pills to use.
…………
Bianzhou.
Some days have passed since the beginning of winter, and the cold wind blows every day, but it is even colder inside and outside the city.
The shops on both sides of the street also looked a little deserted because they had not had customers for a long time.
But walking a little further forward, there was a very lively movement in the alley.
All the people coming and going were men.
When he came out, his whole body was either filled with the pungent smell of alcohol or stained with the smell of rouge. Everyone walked crookedly, still shouting loudly amidst the flattery of the madam behind them.
But it is a smokey willow alley.
Next to the small building with the plaque of Cuihonglou, there are several short and ordinary courtyards.
In one of the courtyards at the back, two dark pills were quietly placed on a table.
Wen Tao frowned and just observed the differences of the pills carefully.
Today is the seventh day of Li Jing's journey south to Yuzhou. According to what he said, the pill needs to be taken for the second time today, otherwise the poison will explode and cause death.
But now it's past noon, but there seems to be nothing strange in the body...
Wen Tao was a little hesitant, but he didn't dare to gamble again. He had always been a cautious person, but he didn't like the feeling of having his life in someone's hands.
After hesitating for a while, he picked up one of them and planned to swallow it.
At this moment, two low footsteps suddenly came from behind.
"Don't eat it, it's useless."
