"Then let's part ways here." Nie Li stood up. Because the two of them were drunk, their journey had been delayed. Naturally, they couldn't waste any more time. Furthermore, from the looks of it, the skinny guy was still worried about them.
"It's getting dark. If you leave now, you'll probably have to sleep in the mountains for the night." Fatty urged them to stay. The temple was in the mountains. If Nie Li and Little Mo were to continue their journey, they would definitely have to spend the night in the mountains.
"It's fine. We've been like this for a long time. We're already used to it." Nie Li propped himself up with his saber. For the past few days, the two of them had been traversing the mountains. Every day, when they were tired, they would find a safe place to sleep. When they woke up, they would continue their journey. They were already used to it.
"Stay here for the night. This temple is big enough for the few of us." Fatty urged Nie Li to stay. He used his chubby hand to press on Nie Li's shoulder. Nie Li's body wasn't stable to begin with. With Fatty's press, he sat down on the haystack.
"Nie Li, stay for the night. I'm really tired and want to have a good sleep." Little Mo also helped Liu Zhong. After he finished speaking, he also laid down on the haystack. He took off his robe and covered himself with it. He looked like he didn't care and wanted to sleep.
"Stay. Take it as me and Fatty being the hosts," Zheng Ming said.
Nie Li sighed. He knew that Little Mo wasn't going to leave. Furthermore, it was hard to refuse their hospitality. He could only put the Autumn Rain Saber aside and lay down on the haystack. He opened his eyes and looked at the wooden beam above him.
Seeing Nie Li like this, Liu Zhong also stood up with a grin and laid down on the haystack beside Zheng Ming. Nie Li glanced at the haystack and saw that it was still damp. The color was much darker than the one he and Little Mo were lying on.
Nie Li was a little touched. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming probably gave him the dry pile of grass they slept on, while the two of them went around looking for a new pile of grass. This small detail turned into a warm current that flowed through Nie Li's heart.
"Where are you guys going?" Little Mo asked. This was in line with his character. Nie Li probably wouldn't believe that he would fall asleep without saying a word. The fire in the middle of the temple emitted a slight crackling sound. Even breathing seemed to have stopped.
"I'll wander around, wherever I go." Zheng Ming said. His eyes were slightly closed and under his drooping eyelids, there was a trace of ominous glint. Everyone was lying down, so they couldn't see each other's expressions. Nie Li could only raise his head and look at the statue in the middle of the temple.
Nie Li could no longer see its original appearance. It had been damaged beyond recognition by the passage of time. It was covered in dust and cobwebs. The pair of eyes seemed to be looking at the four of them. Nie Li felt his breathing become lighter.
"That's not bad. The world is so big, and there's no place that isn't home. The two of us are preparing to head to the capital of Song. " Little Mo inexplicably added. Nie Li turned his body sideways, leaving his back to Little Mo. He lay on the dry haystack, smelling the special smell.
Nie Li's thoughts drifted again and again. He felt that the voices of the few people were getting further and further away. His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Nie Li quickly fell asleep and even let out soft snoring sounds. Little Head Mo, Liu Zhong, and Zheng Ming's occasional conversations were also interrupted.
"My brother is going to the capital of Song to find Prince Jingyang." Little Head Mo pointed at Nie Li and slightly raised his body to look at Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming. When the two of them heard Prince Jingyang, there was a slight reaction, especially Zheng Ming, who quietly looked at Liu Zhong.
"Prince Jingyang, that's a big shot." Zheng Ming casually complimented him. However, he was also curious. Why did Nie Li want to find Prince Jingyang? What was Nie Li's identity?
"My brother is going to the capital of Song to serve as a high official." Little Head Mo said very proudly. "What official?" Liu Zhong couldn't help but ask. Even Zheng Ming pricked up his ears. Seeing the fat man asking him, Little Head Mo's mouth evoked an inexplicable smile.
"Inspector." The three words weighed a ton on Liu Zhong's and Zheng Ming's heads. After saying that, Mo Xiaotou lay down on the haystack. After a short while, his breathing gradually became stable. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming exchanged glances with each other after seeing that the two people had fallen asleep.
That was a kind of fanaticism. Zheng Ming nodded and fell asleep immediately. The next morning, Nie Li was the first one to get up. The fire in the temple was about to go out. The flame was dying, emitting a weak light.
The door of the temple was wide open. It was still a little cold in the mountains in the morning, and a cool breeze blew in. Nie Li saw that the other three were still sleeping soundly, so he got up and found some dry wood outside. He placed it on top of the fire, and not long after, the flames leapt up again.
"You got up so early." Just as Nie Li started the fire, Mo Xiaotou woke up. Nie Li dared to guarantee that Mo Xiaotou had woken up very early in the morning and was only waiting for the right time to tell others that he had woken up. Mo Xiaotou had always been like this, doing things that only he knew. Only when the time was right, he would choose to speak.
"Get ready. We'll leave in a while." Nie Li didn't answer Little Head Mo's question, but asked him to get ready. Little Head Mo sat next to Nie Li and said with a smile, "What's the hurry? It's not just the two of us going north."
"Who else?" Hearing Little Head Mo's words, Nie Li was confused. Other than the two of them, who else would go together? "Those two." Little Head Mo pointed at Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming. Zheng Ming was laying a pile of hay on top of him.
"What? You don't believe me? I'll wake them up. Let's wait and see. " Little Head Mo looked at Nie Li's face of disbelief, stood up, came to Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming, and shook them awake. When Little Head Mo touched Zheng Ming, the latter opened his eyes and looked at Little Head Mo with vigilance. Liu Zhong rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered something to himself.
"The two of us are leaving. We want to say goodbye to the two of you. Let's part here. If fate wills it, we'll meet again." Little Head Mo said that he was leaving with Nie Li under the puzzled, doubtful, and vigilant gazes.
Then he stood up and strode outside. Nie Li was also a little confused. Didn't he say that the two of them would go with him? But what was going on? Nie Li followed Little Head Mo and heard him whispering, "One, two, three …"
"Wait!" Just as Nie Li was about to laugh at Little Head Mo, Zheng Ming shouted. Nie Li turned around and saw Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming catching up. Little Head Mo also turned around and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "Is there anything else?" Little Head Mo chose to continue pretending.
"The two of us also want to go to the Song Capital. Can you take us with you? Don't worry, we can still make a living by performing, "Zheng Ming said. He was a little embarrassed to speak and even lowered his head with Liu Zhong. However, Nie Li saw Little Head Mo's smiling eyes. What exactly did he mean? Or what was he planning?
"We want to take a look at the Song Capital. I heard that it's the most prosperous place in the Southern Song Dynasty. We just want to take a look." Liu Zhong emphasized again.
"Okay, but we have to go into the city to prepare something first." Little Head Mo straddled Zhao Ye as Nie Li stared at him. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get on the horse. The two of you go and ride Little Flower. I'll take Nie Li," Little Head Mo commanded.
Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming looked at the skinny horse in front of them. It would be difficult for Zheng Ming to ride alone, not to mention the fatty. "What are you two doing? Hurry up and get on the horse." Little Head Mo was a little anxious and his voice was a little loud.
Zheng Ming and Liu Zhong clenched their teeth. Who cares? It's their horse anyway. It's its own business if it's tired to death. It's just a pity that this horse was abandoned by its owner. Zheng Ming also sat on Little Flower's back, followed by Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong was still a little worried, but what happened next surprised the two of them. Little Flower didn't seem to have any abnormalities. Its legs didn't even tremble when it sat.
"Nie Li, hurry up and get on the horse." Little Head Mo patted the space in front of him, indicating for Nie Li to sit on the horse. "No need. I can use my qinggong. You guys go in front." Nie Li wasn't used to riding on the same horse as others.
Little Head Mo didn't argue. He squeezed the horse's belly, and Zhao Ye suddenly sped up, kicking up a cloud of dust. Zheng Ming and Liu Zhong could tell that Zhao Ye was a good horse, but they didn't expect it to be so fast. So, they squeezed the horse's belly.
They thought that Little Flower would be fine as long as it could walk, but Little Flower's speed wasn't any slower than Zhao Ye's. Plus, Little Flower was carrying two people. "Skinny, this horse is amazing." Liu Zhong grabbed Zheng Ming's waist. Little Flower was too fast, and he almost fell off.
"It's too fast. I can't handle it." Zheng Ming also felt the wind in front of him. It was blowing into his mouth. He turned around to look at Nie Li. Nie Li's speed wasn't slow at all. He even looked calm.
Nie Li followed her at a leisurely pace. After breaking through the Heavenly Demon Nine Refinement Process, in addition to his rich inner force, it was possible for him to keep up with Little Blossom's speed. The strange combination of the four of them quickly circled the city in the early morning.
In the morning, Little Head Mo bought a new set of clothes for Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming. Then, he also prepared weapons for the two of them. However, they were very simple weapons. Zheng Ming had also thrown away his huge hammer. It was just a huge rock tied to a piece of wood.
Then, he bought a horse for each of them. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming looked at Little Head Mo with gratitude and confusion. They didn't expect him to do so much for them. Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask Little Head Mo why.
The latter's answer was also very simple, which was to go out with him and not lose his status. To live up to his identity, he naturally had to be fully equipped. Nie Li, who was watching from the side, was a little flustered. What kind of status did Little Mo have? Was it really good to deceive others like this?
Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming thought that it was a special hobby of rich kids. Nie Li was too lazy to expose Mo Xiaotou. The four of them rode their horses and headed north. Because Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming's horses were ordinary horses, their speed might be a little slower.
In order to wait for Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming, Nie Li and Little Head Mo deliberately slowed down. The group was rushing. After a while, they slowed down, but there was a lot of laughter and laughter along the way.
They crossed countless mountains, villages, and towns. They had seen too much of the world along the way. It was the first time Nie Li had seen such a big world. Looking at the sky and clouds in the distance, he felt that his journey had just begun.
After crossing mountains and seeing the world, he realized that there was also the sky on the other side.
