Bai Xiaoxiao's injuries had recovered under Zhuzi's treatment, and his hidden disease was under control. In fact, there was nothing serious anymore.
So Mr. Wu also agreed with Bai Gu's idea of letting Bai Xiaoxiao go home the next day.
Bai Gu waited until he had to light up a lantern to illuminate his way outside, and then he "escaped" from the reluctant Bai Xiaoxiao.
Walking on the road, Bai Gu looked at the lanterns on the road that looked like stars in the sky, and suddenly thought of something.
If he and Xiaoxiao really had to go out, not to mention how far the journey would be and how tight the time would be. Just saying that the mountains and rivers along the way are rugged and the roads are crisscrossed, can we ensure that we will be safe along the way?
Bai Gu is just young and not stupid. He knows many things very well in his heart.
Just talk about when Nan Yu was kidnapped in Yunshui City. If it weren't for Qiu Zizai's protection, he might have been slapped to death by the man or the gray-robed woman Yuan Feng.
Not to mention that on the more than 30,000-mile journey to Black Sheep Mountain, there is no telling whether there will be demons, ghosts, and snakes.
Having seen the actions of gray-robed women Yuan Feng and Qiu Zizai, as well as the teleportation of Wu Lao and Jiang Fengmian, Bai Gu has realized that there are probably many practitioners in the world, and they are hidden in the crowd, making it difficult to detect them without taking action.
Although Yunshui City is small, there are still strange people like Wu Lao, Qiu Zizai, and Jiang Fengmian, not to mention such a vast world outside?
Bai Gu had a headache.
It doesn't matter if you become friends with these cultivators. If you become enemies, you and Xiao Xiao Minato together won't be enough to slap them in the face.
Among the people I know now, Mr. Wu will definitely not leave Yunshui City or Changzhou Pharmacy because of him. What's more, Mr. Wu said that he and Black Sheep Mountain have a long-lasting relationship.
The old guy ran to Dongyang City a long time ago.
Mr. Jiang has a holiday with the owner of Black Sheep Mountain, so he will definitely not be able to go. I'm not that familiar with him, and I don't have that much face.
There is even less hope for the magic stick. He has other things to be busy with. Besides, even if he is fine and can follow him, Bai Gu will still consider it as a backup candidate.
Without him, Bai Gu couldn't trust him.
Mr. Xu also said that he could not go down the mountain. Even if Mr. Xu could go down the mountain and ask Mr. Xu to accompany him to Black Sheep Mountain, Bai Gu would still find it difficult to talk about it.
Brother Peng himself is the squad leader of Qianmo Division in Yunshui City. He must be in charge of the security of Lingding Lane and nearby areas.
As for Old Liu Tou, Bai Gu actually doubted whether he was a cultivator.
Judging from his usual behavior, Mr. Liu is just a normal and ordinary little old man with a bad temper. He is the kind of person who has a cold face and a warm heart.
But just talking about his performance in the morning, Brother Peng, a cultivator, was shaken away by the breath of beads, but Lao Liutou sat motionless on the chair.
Although Bai Gu consciously directed the aura of the bead towards Brother Peng at that time, the bead was not of extraordinary quality. Its aura was as deep as the sea. In addition, he did not fully control the bead and could not control the bead as he wished, so Old Liu Tou must have also been affected by it. Without the pressure of the beads' breath.
But he still sat there like nothing happened.
Moreover, Old Liu Tou seemed to have recognized the origin of the beads, otherwise he would not have said the words "So he gave you this, no wonder, he really spent a lot of money" and "Are you threatening me? Just with your hands This bead inside?”
However, Bai Gu was the first to exclude him.
Even if Old Liu Tou is really a cultivator and extremely powerful.
Even if Lao Liutou is willing to accompany him and Xiaoxiao to Black Sheep Mountain.
Bai Gu didn't even want Old Liu Tou to follow him.
First of all, although the people in Lingding Alley have terrible personalities, they are still a group of miserable people who are forced to make a living and have no choice but to live in poverty. If Old Liu Tou hadn't been willing to treat the people of Lingding Alley for free, I'm afraid the number of people in Lingding Alley would have been reduced by at least half.
Secondly, Old Liu Tou had treated and helped Bai Gu countless times. Bai Gu really didn't want to owe Old Liu Tou any more kindness because of Black Sheep Mountain and his party.
He was afraid he couldn't afford it.
The third thing is that I had a quarrel with Lao Liutou in the morning, and there was a gap. At this time, I had to lower my face and ask for Lao Liutou. To be honest, Bai Gu couldn't do it.
Just for the Black Sheep Mountain group, Bai Gu had already anticipated many difficulties.
If he doesn't find a... thug or bodyguard, Bai Gu is really worried.
But if you want to hire a practitioner, the cost should be very high, right?
Counting only one year, the cost of employment, food, accommodation, and clothing for three people along the way, with the more than 20,000 taels of gold he had on him, might not be enough.
But where can I find free bodyguards for cultivators?
Bai Gu just wandered around and walked to the door of Yaojiu Hall.
"Hey, who is that! Come in!" A drunken voice sounded, startling Bai Gu.
Bai Gu looked around. There were not many people on the street. Who was talking?
"Don't look at it, it's just you, what's your name...what's your name..."
Bai Gu turned around and saw a homeless man's head sticking out from a window in the Yaojiu Pavilion, pointing at Bai Gu with one hand.
From so far away, Bai Gu could smell the strong smell of alcohol.
Bai Gu took a closer look by the light of the lantern and saw that he was a drunkard.
Is this guy looking for me? I'm not familiar with him.
But Bai Gu still walked in and sat opposite the drunkard.
The drunkard held his chin with one hand, his drunken eyes were half-closed, and he looked at himself up and down with a look that Bai Gu couldn't describe.
"Excuse me, what is your name? What's the matter?" Bai Gu felt uncomfortable, but when he thought that the drunkard was a friend of the old beggar, and had handed him a locust wood sign before, which indirectly helped him, he still endured it.
"My surname is Lin. You can call me whatever you want. Do you have any money? Help me pay for the drink." The drunkard spoke vaguely as if he had a stone in his mouth.
Bai Gu frowned.
Uncle, I'm not that familiar with you, right? You suddenly called me in to pay for your drinks. Are you sick?
But after thinking about it, Bai Gu still asked: "How much?"
"Ask the waiter."
Bai Gu was a little helpless and immediately called the waiter to pay the bill.
Still the same young man.
The young man glanced at the drunkard, then at Bai Gu, with pity in his eyes, and then took out a long bill, "This guest, drank in our pub for three days, paid the bill on credit for three days, plus The total money for today’s drinks is three hundred and seventy-three taels of silver, so you don’t need any change, just give me three hundred and seventy-three taels of silver.”
Bai Gu took the bill and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth, "You fucking tricked me, right?"
He is worthy of being someone who can piss into the same pot as an old beggar.
Bai Gu rubbed his head and sighed helplessly, "Another plate of soy sauce beef, two pots of Qiuyue Ripples, let's add four hundred taels."
With that said, Bai Gu took out four one-hundred-tael silver notes from his arms and handed them out.
The young man bowed his head in agreement, took the banknote and ran to the counter to check out and prepare the dishes.
The drunkard smiled, this kid was going to cause trouble.
"Uncle Lin, I want to ask you something." Bai Gu thought for a while and had an idea in his mind.
"For the sake of the drink money, let's talk about it."
"The old guy is a cultivator, and you are his friend, so are you a cultivator? Are you powerful?"
"That's right." The drunkard raised his head slightly and thought seriously for a second, "It was okay before, but now it's average."
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to say: "Can I ask you to accompany me to the Black Sheep Mountain?"
The drunkard glanced at Bai Gu and nodded, "Okay, but I have a condition."
Then the drunkard's words confused Bai Gu.
"Kneel down and kowtow."
