[Into the fate line: Fellow Taoist, I will help you become an immortal]
[After some stirrings from you, the snake spirit who originally wanted to find fairy seeds from you changed his mind. She feels that what she should do is to let you pass the seven tests of immortality and plunder the fruits of your labor when you are about to ascend. Therefore, this scorpion spirit, whose original purpose was to catch everyone in one fell swoop, has now become your loyal subordinate]
[Before the sevenfold test is completed, the Scorpion Spirit will treat you more lovingly than his biological father. How you use it and how you act is up to you】
His fingers lightly traced the fate of the eight directions, and Zhou Li continued to follow the people walking on the path. Since their high carriage was melted by the demon monk just ten miles out of Congmu Town, Zhou Li and others could only rely on their legs to move towards Beiliang City.
At this time, some people will be curious. This is just more than ten miles away from Firwood Town, so why not go back to Palmwood Town and wait for the next high carriage?
In fact, Zhou Li and Qianhu considered this issue at the beginning, but they quickly rejected the idea.
The high-speed carriages of the Ming Dynasty are not spread all over the country like the high-speed railways in the real world. In fact, the coverage of high-horse stations is actually not very high. Apart from Shangjing City, only the town of Congmu Town within a hundred miles can have it. Gaoma station.
Therefore, the number of high carriages passing through this small place in Firwood Town is extremely rare, with only one trip a week. The car that Zhou Li and his friends burned was the only one this week. If you want to wait for the next one, it will be a week later.
Therefore, Zhou Li and the others calculated that they were still less than three hundred miles away from Beiliang. If they relied solely on their feet, they could reach Beiliang in just three days. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Li and others chose to go directly to Beiliang. Anyway, everyone was either a Ling Qi master or a Jin Yiwei. Who could it be difficult to get by this way?
That day, several people hit the road again after a short rest. The Northland is desolate, with the Gobi Desert being the most deserted, and most of it uninhabited. It is extremely difficult to buy a few horses or replenish food. But fortunately, Zhou Li was quick-thinking and had abundant survival skills in the wild, which prevented everyone from falling into a pitiful situation of not being able to eat.
But soon, another problem arose because of Zhou Li's heroic sacrifice in his previous suit.
be lost.
After passing through a Gobi desert, Zhou Li looked at the four or five dirt roads ahead. After confirming that no one had brought a map, and that his own map had gone to heaven with his clothes, he fell into deep thought.
what to do?
"It should be this way."
At this time, Qianhu on the side crossed his arms and said, "I have been to Beiliang before, and I remember it should be the road on the far right."
"Then just listen to Senhu-sama."
Zhou Li had no doubts. After all, Qianhu could be said to be the most harmless monster in the world. Not to mention setting a trap to ambush him, he would probably have to cut off his own meridians if Qianhu pointed the wrong way. Apologize to Zhou Li.
Guo Lingyun and Tang Wan did not express any opinions on Qian Hu's directions. One of them had evil intentions and said nothing, while the other had round eyes and acted like a retard except for chatting with Zhou Li. Therefore, everyone quickly followed Qian Hu's direction. The road pointed out by Hu begins to move forward.
After walking for about an hour, everyone entered a tree-lined path. After walking for another half an hour, Zhou Li and the others found that they still had not walked out. Just when Zhou Li once wondered whether Qianhu, an old man, had misremembered the road, the road ahead suddenly became clear, and a small and compact village appeared in front of everyone.
"Um?"
When Qianhu saw the village, his footsteps suddenly stopped and his expression was startled. Zhou Li on the side noticed something was wrong and asked, "What did you find, sir?"
"this···"
Frowning, Qianhu said hesitantly: "I remember there is no human habitation in this place."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then turned around and took a closer look at the village. He found that the village was full of chickens crowing and dogs barking, and the smoke was flying and birds were flying into the clouds. No matter how you looked at it, it was a popular village.
"Did you remember it wrong?"
"Maybe I really remembered it wrong?"
Qianhu was a little hesitant. After all, he was very familiar with this place. He had eaten everyone who could eat it. He knew exactly where there was people and where there was no one. But under Zhou Li's questioning, he also began to wonder if he had eaten too much and had forgotten it.
No one was suspicious. After all, it was a good thing to have a village. Who wanted to eat charcoal-grilled scorpions when they could eat cooked pork meat. Therefore, a few people quickly set off towards the village.
The location of this village is rather peculiar. The village is surrounded by water on three sides. A long river about ten feet wide surrounds the village. There are only two stone bridges and a floating wooden bridge for people to pass. And on the side without the river, a towering mountain peak stood quietly here.
Surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, this is a trapped situation in Feng Shui, but for some reason there is a village. Zhou Li and others didn't think much, crossed the stone bridge and entered the village.
The village has a street with shops, restaurants, and a medium-sized inn at the entrance of the village. Zhou Li was a little surprised that such a remote place could have such complete facilities. But when they entered the village, Zhou Li suddenly discovered something strange.
"Why is there no one in this village?"
Yes, this village is full of traffic, the houses are neat, the cooking pots and bowls, stacked fish baskets and various things are full of the breath of life, but there are only no people living in it. Zhou Li looked at the store cabinet aside. The pipe on the cabinet was still warm, but there was no one behind the counter.
This strange and calm scene made everyone feel trembling. Guo Lingyun's hand had even been placed on the long knife at his waist. Zhou Li lowered his right hand slightly, leaned on his left side, and slowly approached the store cabinet.
"This is dangerous, so I'll do it."
Before Zhou Li could approach the store cabinet, the Scorpion Spirit stood in front of Zhou Li without hesitation, holding a knife and walking resolutely towards the store cabinet. Zhou Li was stunned by the loyalty and love written on his face, not to mention the rich expression on Tang Wan's face.
"That's what we Qianhu are like..."
Gritting his teeth, Guo Lingyun rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Sacrifice yourself for others."
Ignoring the three people behind him, Qianhu mentioned the demonic energy in his body, but his hands were covered with the elite dragon-tiger energy. He took short steps and approached the store cabinet. Then he slowly opened the door curtain behind the store cabinet with the handle of his knife and explored for a moment.
"unmanned."
Turning around, Qian Hu shook his head at Zhou Li and others, and said with a solemn expression: "But there is a pot with steaming rice. It seems that the person has just left."
As soon as Qianhu finished speaking, Zhou Li suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. However, before he could cry out in pain, a stream of heat passed through his waist and quickly fell into his mouth. At the same time, a deafening sound came into Zhou Li's ears from the distant horizon.
The first level: The weight of countless things is not as powerful as gold and silver.
