The path of the bandits' ambush was naturally not deserted. The road was filled with the smell of humans, and as they moved forward, the smell became thicker and thicker. Thud …
Along the way, Zhu Yingcai treated a senior like Li Qingshan with great respect. He constantly tried to find something to talk about. If Li Qingshan showed him a bit of respect, he would immediately kneel down and worship him as his master.
Li Qingshan asked, "Aren't you going to join Wanxiang Sect? How can you worship me as your master? "
"This … Wanxiang Sect is so big, they shouldn't care about these small details?"
Zhu Yingcai's words were evasive, obviously not understanding the rules of Wanxiang Sect, but compared to the distant Wanxiang Sect, he wanted to get close to Li Qingshan. Otherwise, if he encountered bandits on the way, he might never reach Wanxiang Sect. But it was impossible for him to give up on entering Wanxiang Sect and follow a person of unknown origin.
"Hehe, so I'm just a small detail."
Li Qingshan was a bit disappointed. This Zhu Yingcai knew very little about Wanxiang Sect. Basically, it was all legends and speculations, there was no useful information. After all, he was just a Qi Practitioner, and this was the Mortal Realm, where Qi Practitioners were not much stronger than mortals. If it wasn't for his good luck, he would have become a bandit's meal.
"No, no, no, a teacher for a day is a father for life. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be my master!" Zhu Yingcai vowed, but it was not convincing at all.
"Let's talk about it in the future!"
At this time, their field of vision suddenly widened, and they had unknowingly walked out of the forest. At the end of the road was a small village. The sky was getting dark, but there was no smoke rising from the village, and there were no dogs barking or chickens crowing.
When they got closer, it turned out to be a deserted village, and it seemed to have been abandoned not long ago. A few hungry wild dogs with bony ribs were fighting over a hungry dog with bony ribs, baring their teeth and growling when people got close.
Li Qingshan glanced around, the wild dogs were whimpering and lying on the ground, wagging their tails desperately, as if they had seen their master. Maybe they really were just dogs not long ago.
Zhu Yingcai was surprised. He picked up the knife he picked up from the bandit's lair and stepped forward bravely. "Do you want me to kill these evil dogs for you to eat?"
Li Qingshan said lightly, "I'm afraid there's a lot of human flesh in their stomachs."
"Human flesh!" Zhu Yingcai's expression changed. He looked at the mutilated Hungry Man on the ground and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"What is this place?"
Li Qingshan smelled a lot of messy scents in the air. Apart from blood, there were weapons as well. Many people who did not belong to the village had barged in and taken everyone away, while the people who could not leave remained here and starved to death.
The Dao of the Human Realm was too unreliable. In any case, there were Immortals and even True Immortals, but it was a chaotic scene. Did he have to witness such a scene right after choosing the Qilin's Benevolence Path?
Zhu Yingcai took out a sheepskin map from the bamboo basket on his back and studied it carefully. "Ah, this is the border of Bailu Country!"
"Is it famous?"
"Of course, he's very famous. Even though it's only a thousand miles wide, the capital of Bailu Country is famous for its prosperity. There's definitely food there! "
Li Qingshan felt even hungrier. He glanced at the sheepskin map. "Then let's go!"
He grabbed Zhu Yingcai and soared into the sky. Amidst his ear-piercing screams. Amidst his ear-piercing screams, they disappeared into the night sky.
Li Qingshan retracted the transformations of the Nine Transformations of Demons and Gods and only used the Extreme Emperor's Record of World Destruction. With the restrictions of the Dao of the Human Realm, his speed was not much faster than a bird's, but it didn't take long for him to cover a few hundred miles. When the two landed outside Bailu City. Zhu Yingcai lay on the ground and vomited as he gazed at Li Qingshan in great admiration.
"Senior … you can … fly … could you be … a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Li Qingshan said in disdain, "Can't you finish vomiting before talking to me? But is this the prosperous place you were talking about?"
Not far away, there was a city gate with the words' Bailu City 'carved on it. Outside the gate, there were shacks of various sizes. The shacks surrounded the entire city, and there were sounds of people moaning and moaning. Even from such a distance, Li Qingshan could smell the stench.
Startled by Zhu Yingcai's scream, a group of farmers with sickly faces and shabby clothes surrounded them. Some of them were even armed with hoes and bamboo poles.
"Who … who are you people? Where did you come from?"
"How dare you! How dare you be rude to your senior! Fire Dragon Spell! "
With Li Qingshan by his side, Zhu Yingcai's courage grew. He chopped the bamboo pole in front of him and waved his hand, sending out a stream of flames that illuminated the terrified faces of the farmers and scorched some of their hair and eyebrows.
Li Qingshan saw it clearly. It was not that this guy was being merciful, but that he could only cast a spell of this level, which was not much better than a magic trick. However, the True Qi in his Dantian was extremely pure and condensed. In the Land of the Nine Provinces, even a Foundation Building cultivator might not have such a True Qi. At the same time, the amount of True Qi in his Dantian was very small. It was no wonder that he was no match for the bandits.
"Ah, it's the warlock of the fatuous king. He must be here to spy on the military situation. Report to the general!"
The farmers first screamed and retreated, then dropped their "weapons" and turned around to escape.
"Military situation!"
Only then did Li Qingshan realize that the shacks were a military camp, and it seemed that they were still besieging the city. These people were probably the rebel army formed by the refugees. Everything in the deserted village could be explained now.
He didn't want to fly into the city directly because he might be noticed by some people. However, the city gate was closed, so there was nothing he could do. He could only hide his breath as much as possible, grab Zhu Yingcai, and jump onto the city wall.
The guards on the city wall were very lax. The soldiers were all over the place, and some were even drinking and gambling. They didn't care about the rebel army outside the city, and none of them noticed the figure that suddenly appeared on the city wall.
Only a Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the figure had already disappeared. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and curse, "What bad luck! Everyone else is drinking in Deer Garden, and I have to be on such a lousy errand! "
Walking on the street in the city, Li Qingshan realized that what Zhu Yingcai said was true. This "Deer City" was indeed a bustling place. It was already night time, but there was still a lot of noise everywhere. It was a flourishing scene, and the city was only separated from the outside by a city wall. But it was like two different worlds.
Also, it lived up to its name of "Deer City". There were stag, female deer, big deer, and small deer everywhere, walking leisurely on the street. Not only were they not afraid of people, but they even had to make way for them. It was a beautiful scene of people living in harmony with nature.
However, there were also many beggars in ragged clothes with numb expressions, begging in sorrow. They were being driven back and forth, after all, a city wall couldn't separate two worlds.
He also discovered that the pedestrians fed the deer more than they gave alms, and those hungry beggars stared at the fat deer in front of them, drooling, but none of them dared to make a move.
Humans were inferior to deer, it was really strange. Was this still considered the way of the human world? If I caught one and ate it, I wonder what would happen.
He shook his head and threw the idea of looking for trouble out of his mind. He raised his head and took a deep breath. All kinds of smells in the city entered his nostrils. He chose the most tempting smell and walked through the crowd.
Zhu Yingcai followed closely behind, his eyes darting around, thinking about how to trick Li Qingshan to go to the Wanxiang Sect. Even if he couldn't become a disciple, he would at least have a big bodyguard. With his ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, he would probably be able to arrive in a day. Wouldn't that save him a lot of trouble?
Li Qingshan stepped onto a stone bridge. The river under the bridge was gurgling, and the river was full of pleasure boats and pleasure boats. The place where the fragrance came from was a brightly lit building, from which the sound of birds talking and bamboo flutes could be heard. The strong smell of cosmetics had already covered the aroma of the food. He didn't need to guess to know where it was.
It was indeed worthy of being one of the oldest professions of mankind. And the poem "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the subjugation of the country, and sings the flowers in the backyard across the river". Even someone as straightforward as Li Qingshan was familiar with it.
She couldn't help but think of Qiu Haitang. Although they met a few times later on, they didn't spend much time together. Moreover, the breaking of the red thread of yearning made her quite sad, but after a while, she felt much better.
"Senior, senior, wait for me!"
Zhu Yingcai caught up with him breathlessly. It took him a lot of effort to catch up with Li Qingshan's footsteps. He saw a faint smile on his handsome face, revealing an expression of nostalgia. There was a kind of indescribable gentleness and peace, as if there was a faint halo, which made him stunned. He couldn't help but think, "Senior has saved my life. If I still want to use him, am I still a human?"
Several women passing by the bridge forgot to look at the road in a daze and almost fell into the water.
But the most sensitive reaction was not him or them, but a group of little beggars whose gender couldn't be distinguished. With the desire to survive, as if they saw the real "life" coming, they rushed up one after another, holding a broken bowl.
"Sir, give me a mouthful of food! I'm starving to death. "" Me too, me too, I haven't eaten for three days! "" Wah wah wah wah wah! "Some people simply cried, their faces full of snot and tears.
Immediately, they surrounded Li Qingshan tightly. He saw how they were all skinny and skinny, which made them seem quite pitiful. He waved his hand. "Let's go. I'll treat you to a great meal!"
The little beggars fell silent and forgot to make a fuss or cry. They had only wanted to ask for a few copper coins, but they didn't expect it to turn into a feast. Returning to his senses, he cheered and followed behind Li Qingshan, charging towards the brightly lit building. He did not care what kind of place it was. If he, Li Qingshan, wanted to eat, he obviously wanted to eat the best.
Only then did Zhu Yingcai snap out of his daze and hurriedly followed, praising Senior in his heart, Bringing a bunch of little beggars to a brothel … Senior really is a master of his generation! But since he's so kind, I'm sure he won't refuse me if I ask him to give me a ride!
Li Qingshan strode forward and parted the crowd, heading towards the largest money-squandering establishment in Whitestag, Windstream. All the beggars on the street followed behind him.
He looked like the leader of a beggar's sect, but he forgot one thing. He didn't have a single copper coin on him, so how could his sumeru ring contain such items? Even if he did, he would probably scoff inwardly. I don't pay for eating people, so why should I pay for eating?
