In order to climb up the mountain, Mu Nan was exhausted!
His companions who were descending the mountain were still somewhat reserved, or rather, a little embarrassed! Strangers had saved you, yet they were obligated to teach you skills?
The people of the grassland were more straightforward. According to their habits, they could not express their gratitude empty-handed. However, they had nothing now! They had thrown all their belongings down the mountain, or else they would not have lasted for so long. As for cows and sheep, there was not a single one. Who would lead a sheep when fleeing?
Hence, they were a little embarrassed to go up, and were thinking of how to get some gifts.
The horse bandits were still wreaking havoc in the grassland. To them, who came and went like the wind and licked blood from their blades, it was normal to change a few leaders! They could not retreat just because of these setbacks. No matter who was gone, the winter of the grassland still had to pass!
Hence, they could not leave Miaofeng Mountain for the time being. They could only set up simple tents outside the mountain and wait for the report from the sentries.
After much difficulty, they finally reached the peak. No one saw it except for the Taoist who had fallen from the sky, who was munching on dried sweet potatoes!
His way of thinking was different from normal martial arts practitioners. He did not have so many rules and restrictions because he did not want to make a living out of it. He only wanted to learn one or two moves in the sword dance category for show.
This was a common problem for scholars. They did not need to rely on martial arts to earn a living! Hence, they did not think that this was a presumptuous thing to do. Instead, they treated it as an elegant exchange between scholars and Taoists.
"Learn swordsmanship from me? Why do I have to teach you? You have to give a convincing reason, right? "
Lou Xiaoyi looked at the scholar in amusement. It was as if he was looking at his younger self. He did not care and only felt that with a book in hand, he had the drive to conquer the world. It was very childish, but it was also full of vitality.
"We can be friends! My surname is Mu, double Mu Cheng Lin. In Mount Wei Prefecture, and even in the Yanzhao Kingdom, I am still considered a little famous! In the future, Taoist Lou will travel to various countries and cities. It will be useful to say that I am a distinguished guest of the Mu family! "
He understood that the Mu family should be a local noble family with a long history. It had produced famous people and might have a certain influence on the court. It belonged to the noble family of the upper class, which was also a huge wealth. Only the children of such a powerful family would not care about coming here to find a sense of existence. Unfortunately, the Horse Gang did not know him.
Lou Xiaoyi knew these young people very well. They had no bad intentions and were in the best period of their lives. What they saw and learned during this period would have a huge impact on their lives.
However, he would not tolerate this fellow's temper as a disciple of a prestigious family. "You want to learn something? There should at least be some presentable gift for becoming his disciple, right? You've come empty-handed. Haven't you heard the saying that the Dao should not be imparted lightly, and the Dharma should not be passed on carelessly? "
Mu Nan felt that this Daoist was a little vulgar and not elegant enough. He would vulgarize things that should not be brought to the surface. How could the Mu Clan treat him unfairly when they befriended him? Not to mention the wealth, just the title of being a distinguished guest of the Mu family was enough for him to enjoy endless benefits!
With his temper, he did not want to befriend such a vulgar person. However, he wanted to show off in front of the people of the Xiaguan tribe. It was not for the so-called grassland beauties. He was a child of a prominent family. What kind of beauties had he not seen in his life? He just wanted to vent his anger on Shi Bao!
A grassland barbarian dared to look down on scholars? He had to teach him a lesson about this bad habit of his!
Therefore, he could only endure. "You are right! Unfortunately, I am a fugitive and my hands are shy. Can you send it to me first and we can talk about it later? With the reputation of the Mu family, I don't think we will really owe you anything! "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head. "You can take credit? How about this, I won't ask you to give me a gift now. Well, there are some things that you can help me with. Just take it as a test for you! "
Lou Xiaoyi's exhortation made Mu Nan very unhappy. However, he had to accept it since he had a request.
When he climbed down again, four Xi Zhao Taoists appeared from the shadows and shook their heads.
"Junior Brother, is this okay?"
Lou Xiaoyi widened his eyes. "What's wrong with it? The emperor doesn't lack starving soldiers! You've made me look like a ghost! You've sealed everything except this sense of hunger! I can't be careless about my body's needs!
You don't have to worry about it. It has nothing to do with you, Xi Zhao! It was my Xuanyuan people who did it. I'm not afraid of offending those people. In this world, I can endure anything except hunger. This is my principle! "
This was not making a fuss over a minor issue! It was the aftereffect of having one's cultivation ability sealed!
The cultivators who entered the Splendid Heaven and Earth had all their abilities sealed, leaving behind a body that still had certain characteristics of a cultivator. This was something that could not be changed. Even if the body was not as tough as steel and was not impervious to fire and water, the vitality of the body's cells was far beyond that of an ordinary person!
In the world of cultivation, these consumptions were all replenished through Spiritual Opportunity. Whether it was the Purple Purity, Jade Purity, or even the lowest level of Spiritual Opportunity in the realm, they could always provide the cultivator with all the elements that the body needed. In fact, to a cultivator, this was a negligible expenditure and did not affect anything.
However, in this pure mortal world, one's abilities were completely sealed. They could not use the power of cultivation to replenish themselves. These consumptions that once seemed negligible now showed themselves. There was no other way to replenish themselves except for the most basic food!
He was very hungry because his body needed it!
Fu Yu explained, "Actually, Junior Brother, you don't have to be too worried! When your body's needs reach a certain level, your sealed cultivation will always transfer a trace of energy to help you. You won't starve to death. So, if you're used to hunger, all of this actually doesn't matter … "
"Why do I have to be used to hunger?" Lou Xiaoyi frowned, "They sent me to do things and didn't even give me enough to eat. Can't I think of my own way? I won't be afraid of this lawsuit no matter where it goes! What difference between immortals and mortals? I can't preach. If they have the ability, let them do it themselves. I'll also starve for a few days. Let's see who still won't talk about this nonsense? "
The position of one's buttocks was different, the way of dealing with the problem was naturally different!
The Western Bright Sword Residence was suppressed too ruthlessly! They did not dare to cross the line! However, in Lou Xiaoyi's view, these were a few fellows who were ruthless to themselves and had enough forbearance. He did not know what the General had said to them, but all they were doing now was to make up for it and wait. They were not willing to destroy their tens of thousands of years of persistence because of some insignificant reasons. They were not willing to expose themselves before the opportunity arrived.
This was their way!
Lou Xiaoyi's way was different. He wanted to use this method to express his dissatisfaction, to seek conflict and change. Only by causing trouble could he see the truth behind it!
It could not always be like this!
