Two bags, one for each person, and two hammers, one for each person.
Lao Bai followed him to the left and right, while Ba Ye flew above.
"Aren't they too conspicuous following us?" The fat man pointed up and down.
"Let's walk from outside and let them follow secretly from the mountains." Nanfeng said. He had tried it before. If the Eighth Master could see him, he could still see his gestures fifty miles away. If the Eighth Master couldn't see him, he could still see his gestures. He can hear his call from twenty miles away.
The fat man nodded, "Okay, Lao Bai can find me by smell."
In the late afternoon, as we got closer to the mountain village, the troops split into two groups. They quickly walked out of the mountain, while Lao Bai and Ba Ye followed from hiding in the mountain.
Ba Ye is different from ordinary birds. Other birds fly at high places, but Ba Ye likes to fly low against the treetops. This may be related to the hunting habit of owls, but this habit is very beneficial to Ba Ye's concealment. easy to be discovered
The two of them had escaped all the way back before. Although they were still careful when they came out of the mountain this time, they were not as arrogant as before. Nanfeng had already entered the big cave, and Fatty's eight-part golden body was about to break through the fifth level. Even at this time, Even if you encounter a master of purple energy, you have the strength to fight, even if you are defeated, it is not difficult to save your life.
When he arrived at Deshan Village, the fat man couldn't wait to buy a car. It was not a carriage. There were no horses in the village, nor was it a mule or donkey cart, but a wheelbarrow. The two black iron sledgehammers were too heavy. The two of them carried them for several miles. For an hour, I was exhausted and miserable.
"These two iron knots are too terrible. Fortunately, I will soon reach the level of Gandharva, and then it won't be so strenuous." The fat man pushed the cart forward.
"How long will it take?" Nanfeng asked. The Gandharva in the fat man's mouth was the accurate name for the fifth level of the eight-part golden body.
"It will take half a month." Fatty said. These eight golden bodies are very similar to Taoist Qi training. They become more difficult and slower as they are practiced.
Nan Feng nodded. The Eight-part Golden Body is one of the four great magical arts of Middle-Earth Buddhism. It is very miraculous. If the fat man can practice to the fifth level, it will be difficult for ordinary purple energy masters to hurt him.
Walking quickly and slowly, the two of them failed to reach the town before dark to set up shop, and they did not find a ruined temple or house, so they had to sleep in the wild.
It had snowed during the day and it was very cold. In the first half of the night, the bonfire was lit and I didn't feel cold. In the second half of the night, the bonfire was out and it started to get cold.
The fat man started to complain that Nanfeng didn't let him bring his bedding, but Nanfeng pushed him back by saying, "How can I get a hammer when I have a bedding?"
But the fat man had a trick. He ran to Lao Bai and hugged Lao Bai to keep him warm. Nanfeng also wanted to do the same thing, but Master Ba was not there and he didn't know where he had gone.
"Oh, how could I forget this?" Nanfeng sighed.
"What's wrong?" the fat man asked casually.
"We all have body skills. After using the body skills, you can reach the town with just a stick of incense." Nanfeng said. The two of them were like beggars who suddenly became rich, and they were not used to using money for a while.
"Yes, walk quickly, but I'm freezing to death." The fat man turned over and got up.
Nanfeng started to call Master Ba, but after calling for a few times, Master Ba didn't come back. He must have flown far away.
"Let's go, let's go, it will find you." The fat man urged.
Nanfeng was worried, so he raised his voice and called again. The night was quiet, and the whistle could be heard hundreds of miles away.
Not long after, Master Ba came back, and the two of them set out on the road.
It is true that the two of them have spiritual energy, but their body skills cannot be discussed. At best, it can only be regarded as accelerating the energy. Nanfeng uses the spiritual energy to jump up, while the fat man uses the spiritual energy to push the cart and run wildly.
How could the wheelbarrow withstand such a bumpy ride? It fell apart within three to five miles, and the two of them could only carry one.
When we arrived in town and found a place to stay, it was almost dawn, and it was already late afternoon when we woke up.
This is a small town with not many diners, and it was past dinner time, so there were only two of them eating.
After dinner, the two of them went back to their room to meditate and practice their qi. They would set off on the road when it was time for the next watch. They could use body techniques when traveling at night, which was much more convenient than traveling during the day.
As soon as the two of them left the town, dogs barked from the mountains to the north of the town. This was Lao Bai telling Fatty that he was following.
After the barking, there was a cooing sound.
Traveling at night has the advantages of traveling at night, but it also has disadvantages, that is, the two of them are mostly sleeping during the day, so they have no chance to inquire about news from the world, and they don't know what major events happened outside during the time they lived in the mountains.
A few days later, in the early morning, the two met Zhoucheng and checked into a shop. As soon as noon came, Nanfeng got up and went to the front hall. Zhoucheng was a big city with many people, including many people from the world, so it was inevitable to talk while eating.
Nan Feng sat in the corner for an hour and waited until the diners had dispersed before returning to the backyard.
The fat man had just woken up and was stretching. After Nanfeng entered the door, he handed two Huosuo to him, and then told the fat man what he had heard earlier.
There are three more important pieces of news. One is that Wang Zhong's death has been known to the Western Wei Dynasty warriors. At this time, everyone is guessing who is the murderer.
Second, there is a sect in the Western Wei Dynasty called Baihumen. The sect is not small and very powerful. Not long ago, there was a conflict between Baihumen and Wuguishan. It is said that they stole the business of Wuguishan. I don’t know the specific business. In short, there was a conflict. , several people died in Wuguishan, there are factions in the world, and the backstage of Wuguishan is Ziguang Pavilion, so everyone speculated that the destruction of Baihumen was caused by Ziguang Pavilion.
The last news is that the Western Wei Dynasty sent troops to attack the Eastern Wei Dynasty and was defeated. It seemed that the defeat was quite miserable. The Eastern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the victory and pursued it, occupying three cities in the Western Wei Dynasty and killing many people. The imperial court sent 100,000 reinforcements, led by Long Yunzi. soldiers.
The fat man was not interested in these things. He thought Nanfeng didn't bring him vegetables for dinner, so he ran to the front hall to ask for pickles before Nanfeng finished speaking.
Hua Cinger had given a nugget of gold before, and before leaving, Twelve gave the fat man a lot of gold and silver. The two of them were now wealthy, but some habits could not be changed for a while. Even if they had money, they did not think of wasting it. For expenses, just eat enough and have a place to live.
Two of these three pieces of information were useless, and only the second one was somewhat useful. Previously, Li Chaozong went to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to pick a fight, but Yan Feixue chased him back to his home and gave him a humiliation. Since then, Li Chaozong has become a lot more honest. . This time there was a conflict between Wuguishan and Baihumen, Ziguang Pavilion could have intervened, but Li Chaozong did not do that. Instead, he directly killed his opponent. This shows that Li Chaozong wanted to kill chickens and scare monkeys to regain his prestige.
Through this matter, it is not difficult to find that Li Chaozong is confident. If he didn't have the confidence, he would not dare to be so arrogant. Where does Li Chaozong's confidence come from
After thinking about it carefully, the fake tortoise shell was most likely. Li Chaozong thought he had obtained the Book of Heaven, so he dared to kill chickens and monkeys in a big way.
If this is the case, Li Chaozong must be trying to decipher that piece of tortoise shell. Li Chaozong is different from him. He only has a mountain cultivation level and is still a half-dabbler. He has not withstood the thunder tribulation, and has not yet mastered the Dongyuan Taixuan. Eager to scrutinize the heavenly book. And Li Chaozong has already advanced to Taixuan, and has practiced Qi to the extreme. After getting the tortoise shell, he will definitely be eager to practice, and it is unlikely that he will put it aside and wait for other tortoise shells to be found before starting to study.
As long as Li Chaozong is researching the fake tortoise shell, he is unlikely to go looking for other ones, which is to his advantage.
The two of them had been captured by the Royal Guards and taken back to Chang'an before. That time they were riding in a prison car. This time heading north, they saw many familiar things along the way. They also saw several places at the post station where the Royal Guards changed horses.
Since they were not in a hurry, the two of them walked not fast. After walking for more than ten days, they were close to Chang'an.
The fat man said before that he could train the eight parts of the golden body to the fifth level in half a month, but now it is still far behind. The reason is that the half month the fat man said was based on the two of them practicing qi in the mountains. Yes, after leaving the mountain, you have to rush at night, sleep all morning during the day, and only practice for a few hours in the afternoon. The speed cannot be compared with the six hours a day in the mountain.
It was noon when we arrived in Chang'an. From a distance, we noticed a lot of people outside the south gate.
Seeing the crowd, Nanfeng's first thought was that something similar to the Liang Kingdom had happened in the Western Wei Dynasty, but as soon as he thought about it, he realized that it was not the case. This was the government killing prisoners. This happened every year, and it could take as little as one or two days, or as many as one day. For three to five days, they were killed at the south gate. When they lived in Chang'an, they came over once to see the head. As soon as the head fell off, blood spurted out from the cavity more than two feet high. It was really scary. After seeing it once, they didn't dare to Look again.
The two of them did not come forward to watch, but sat and waited from a distance. The killing was almost at 3:30 noon.
"I will definitely stay in the ruined temple for one night when I come back this time." Fatty always thought about the ruined temple where everyone lived.
"Okay." Nanfeng nodded. A person will go to many places in his life, but no matter where he goes, he can't forget where he started from.
"One more thing, don't forget to learn the art of disguise from Yuan Anning, just in case." The fat man handed over a piece of fruit.
Nan Feng reached out and took it, "I only need to withstand the thunder tribulation to be promoted to the mountain. Learning the art of disguise is of no use."
The fat man was just about to speak when a voice came from a distance, "In the twelfth year of the reign of Emperor Datong, the emperor issued an edict: Only when the heaven is virtuous can the sun and moon be inspired, and only when the sky is majestic can it drive away the wind and rain. Only when the emperor is virtuous can we win. To improve the people's livelihood, the emperor has authority, so that he can punish crimes strictly. Today, there is courage and authority, and the generals under his command are lazy in running the army, lack courage and plan, which leads to the loss of troops and generals, unrest on the border, and the body I, my minister, have been in vain for the emperor's favor. I went to Dali Temple to inquire about the crime, and a decision was drawn up and decided again. Dapi beheaded me, and I hereby express my gratitude."
Nanfeng was eating fruit, and when he heard the decree, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't remember what was wrong.
"No need to ask, these generals killed must be Han people. Even if the Xianbei people are defeated, they will not be beheaded." The fat man curled his lips and said, the Western Wei Dynasty was in power for Xianbei, and the status of the Han people was very low.
"Did that person just call General Yunhui?" Nanfeng looked at the fat man eagerly.
"It seems there are these two words, what's wrong?" The fat man didn't know why.
"My eldest brother is calling General Yunhui." Nanfeng stood up eagerly.
At this moment, a voice came from the north again, "It's noon, let's do it."
After the shouting, the sound of drumming began.
"What to do, what to do?" The fat man panicked.
We don't always have time to think deeply. The incident happened so suddenly that Nanfeng didn't think much about it. "What else can I do? Quickly save my brother..."
