Late at night, a horse-drawn carriage was still running on the deserted official road.
The person sitting in the front of the carriage and holding the whip was Su Baiyi. It turned out that after everyone discussed it, they felt that since Su Baiyi did not need to sleep at night, it would be better to let Feng Zuojun drive the carriage during the day and Su Baiyi drive at night. Su Baiyi's meditation and rest could be moved to the daytime. In this way, they could travel day and night and would be able to reach Tianxiaoyun Realm in no time.
This idea is naturally good, but there is a hidden danger. The three people in the carriage were too tired. They didn't think about that when they fell asleep, and Su Baiyi didn't have the courage to say it.
"I'm a person with a poor sense of direction." Su Baiyi touched the horse's butt and whispered this little secret. He took out the map drawn by Feng Zuojun from his arms. It was so elaborate that only three-tenths of it was drawn on the map. The remaining seven-tenths could only be drawn based on his own imagination, which was even more helpless.
Anyway, just go west. Tian Xiaoyun Realm is to the west, so it is always right to go west. Su Baiyi nodded for his own wit, and resolutely chose the road to the west at all the forks.
Thirty miles away, the entrance of Fengdu Town.
A man stuck the long knife in his hand into the soil, stretched and yawned: "Why haven't you come yet? I'm sleepy."
"The disciples of Qianji Academy sent news that they were heading to Tianxiao Cloud Realm. They had left Longshou Town before sunset, so they should have arrived here an hour ago. This is the only official road to Tianxiao Cloud Realm." Another man nearby jumped onto the roof of the post station next to him and looked into the distance, "Why is there still no trace of them?"
"Could it be that they knew we were waiting for them here? So they changed their route?" The man who had just yawned turned his head and said, "Boss, what do you think? How about sending me to check ahead?"
No one responded to him. He turned around and saw his boss sleeping soundly in the straw.
"Boss!"
"Here they come!" The sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes, and the spear beside him instantly fell back into his hand. He paused, and all the crows that were originally sleeping on the trees on both sides were startled and flew away. Even his two companions shuddered at the murderous aura that suddenly emerged. But after a closer look, the man found that the official road in front of him was empty. He put away his spear and cursed: "What are you shouting for?"
"Boss, from Longshou Town to here, we should have reached our destination before sunset even if we walked. Could it be that they ran away?" said the man standing on the roof.
"Looking for the people from Qianjiyuan, they are the ones who followed us, we are only responsible for killing people." The man threw the spear in his hand and fell back into the straw pile, "Chiwu, if you shout again, I will be rude to you."
The man who had just woken up the leader smiled awkwardly: "Boss, if they don't come, are we just going to keep waiting?"
"Let Qianjiyuan look for it, we will wait for news here." The leader closed his eyes.
The man on the roof nodded and fired a cannon into the air.
"It's late at night, and there are still people setting off fireworks?" Su Baiyi looked at the fire in the sky in the east and said curiously, "If I wasn't in a hurry, I would really like to go and see it. Alas, why are there other people traveling in the middle of the night besides us?"
There was a man walking quickly towards their carriage. Su Baiyi pulled the reins cautiously, slowed down, and looked at the man in front. He was a monk in a white robe, who looked to be in his early twenties, quite handsome, and bathed in the white moonlight, he looked like a Buddhist master.
To show respect, Su Baiyi clasped his hands together in front of the white monk and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
The young monk was stunned at first, then he smiled and called out to Su Baiyi: "Amitabha."
The two sides just passed each other.
Su Baiyi continued to swing the reins and speeded up. After the young monk took a few steps, the smile gradually disappeared from his face. He stopped and took out a portrait from his arms. As he looked at it, he laughed again: "Is this the Buddha's fate?"
Su Baiyi was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the monk. Why was he traveling alone at night? Was he practicing some kind of cultivation? He looked naked, so he should be given some dry food. While thinking this, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the side. He turned his head and found that the young monk was already sitting next to him.
"Ghost... Ghost." Su Baiyi shouted in shock.
"It's him, it's him, we are destined to be together." The young monk was very calm. He held a portrait in his hand, looked at the portrait, then at Su Baiyi, then at the portrait, then at Su Baiyi. Finally, he nodded and asked, "Sir, are you Su Baiyi?"
Su Baiyi swallowed his saliva: "Master, how did you know?"
"Buddha's fate, Buddha's fate." The young monk couldn't control his inner joy and laughed out loud, "I thought that our meeting would be even later."
The curtain of the carriage suddenly rolled up at this moment.
Su Baiyi pulled the reins suddenly to stop the carriage. When he turned around, the young monk next to him was gone.
"Amitabha, it turns out there is a master in the carriage." The young monk said with a smile.
Nangong Xier opened the carriage curtain and walked out, looking at the monk in front of her: "You are good at martial arts. Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Flower monk, abstain from love but not sex." The young monk raised his fingers lightly, pretending to pick up a flower, "I came here to take this young donor Su Baiyi away."
"Your Buddhist name is a bit silly." Nangong Xier said coldly.
"Don't you think it's unique?" the young monk asked.
"A very unique kind of stupidity." Su Baiyi came to this conclusion and ended the conversation.
He laughed out loud, "Not bad, not bad. Now I am more certain that you are the Su Baiyi I am looking for. The tone of your voice is also very similar to that guy."
"That guy?" Su Baiyi asked confusedly.
"Your Dharma name is Jie, and you are from the Criminal Law Court." Nangong Xier asked, "The head of the Criminal Law Court, Jie Kong, has a junior brother. It is said that when he was ten years old, he was able to defeat the elders of the Criminal Law Court. Later, he was expelled from Shanglin Heavenly Palace for not following the rules. I remember his Dharma name was Jie Se, so it must be you."
She clasped her hands together and said with a smile, "How can I not abide by the rules? I just cursed Ning Qingcheng a few times and then peed in front of the gate of his courtyard."
"Ning Qingcheng?" Su Baiyi thought about this name and seemed to have heard Xie Kanhua mention it before. "Could he be the current Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Palace?"
"It's that bastard." He cursed without giving in to lust.
