Chapter 147 Meeting, Separation, Heavy Snow
As they went along, the man and the donkey gradually left the vicinity of Beiyuan River. The little donkey felt very sorry for this because it had just learned the skill of walking on water and breathing like a turtle from Yu Luosha. It could move flexibly in the river and play with the fishes.
As the little donkey's martial arts skills improved, sometimes at night, a man, a donkey, and a ghost would discuss martial arts together. The three of them had different perspectives: Li Changxiao started from the perspective of a cultivator, the donkey from the perspective of an animal, and Yu Luosha from the perspective of an ordinary martial artist. They actually discovered quite a few blind spots that had been overlooked before.
If you think about these things carefully and ponder them seriously, they are actually very interesting.
While passing through a dense forest, Li Changxiao and his companions encountered a bodyguard team. Being a bodyguard was definitely a high-risk profession these days, as there were many ferocious beasts and monsters on the road, and the ghosts and gods that were to be avoided were real.
The two parties walked for a distance. The escorts were always on high alert. When they found that Li Changxiao had been following them, they sent a young man to deal with him and test the waters.
After observing Li Changxiao for several days, the leading escort still couldn't figure out his true abilities. So he decided to meet Li Changxiao in person. So one night, when the escort team was resting, he invited him over for some drinks and some meat.
After the happy gathering, the escort finally felt relieved about the donkey-riding swordsman. During the rest of the journey, the two sides often communicated with each other and even drank together at night.
The leading escort was in his prime, with strong energy and blood. They had good food and meat at every meal. Because escorting was a dangerous physical job, which required poor sleep and hunger, almost no one was willing to do it.
The leading escort was a drunkard and could drink a lot, but unfortunately he couldn't drink too much while escorting the goods. Eventually, the two parties parted ways at a fork in the road. The leading escort said that if there was a chance in the future, he could go to the nearby county to find him and he would treat Li Changxiao to a drink.
Li Chang smiled and responded, then rode his donkey towards another fork in the road.
We are just passers-by to each other.
Time passes.
Another month has passed.
It is already late autumn and the weather is getting cooler. It is fine during the day, but a bit cold at night.
Li Changxiao found a good place to rest, so he lit a fire, took out the ingredients from the bamboo box, and prepared dinner first.
The little donkey had a look of anticipation on its face and was drooling. Now, even if Li Changxiao chased it away, it would absolutely not leave.
Along the way, it has seen too many tragedies among horses. Where can it find such a powerful and good-tempered master, and a ghost sister with superb martial arts skills?
Li Changxiao’s first dish was roasted rabbit with wild vegetables. The rabbit was hunted in the mountains. He first scalded it with boiling water, then plucked the rabbit’s hair and took out its internal organs. Then he stuffed wild vegetables into its stomach and roasted it over the fire.
The second dish was the usual roasted wild mushrooms, but Li Changxiao added a step, which was to sprinkle a little wine on top to increase the flavor.
The third dish is roasted sweet potato. The preparation process of this dish is the simplest. Just throw it into the fire pit and it will be over.
......
Li Changxiao lives his life very seriously and cooks very seriously. The aroma fills the air even before the roasted rabbit is cooked.
It was completely dark.
Suddenly, Li Changxiao acted quickly and slapped the "beautiful lady" on the body. The boy wanted to repeat the same trick and spit on the hare so that he could eat it all by himself.
The beautiful bride swallowed her saliva awkwardly and waited boredly on the side.
A little while.
Its attention was suddenly attracted by a mare walking towards it.
You coming towards me make me so ready to move.
It had never seen such a beautiful mare, with white mane fluttering in the wind, hair as white and shiny as silver, tall and mighty, and perfect muscle lines!
The donkey whistled and laughed obscenely.
The silver horse looked over, but its intelligence was too low and it didn't realize it was being teased by a short and fat donkey.
Beside the white horse stood a pretty figure, wearing an eye-catching red dress, with a beautiful face and a look of pride between her brows.
The owner of the white horse glared at it in displeasure, then looked at Li Changxiao and asked, "Is this your donkey?"
"Yes." Li Chang replied with a smile, reaching out to pat the donkey to make it behave itself.
The donkey immediately became quiet. It thought it was a wild horse and wanted to tease it, but it didn't care since it had an owner.
The woman in red looked at Li Changxiao, frowned, and showed hesitation.
After pondering for a moment, she slowly uttered two words, "Daoyou?"
Li Chang smiled and nodded, and told the woman in red that if she didn't mind, she could come over and sit for a while.
The woman in red agreed and tied the reins of the white horse to a tree. She came to the fire and chatted with Li Changxiao.
The two first revealed their names. Her name was Wu Haitang. Li Changxiao had heard of her. She was a new generation prodigy of the "Dawu Continent" in Qingyu. No wonder she had such arrogance between her brows.
But to Wu Haitang, the three words "Li Changxiao" were something she had never heard of before. Although she did not show it, she still looked down on him in her heart. This is human nature.
Wu Haitang asked about Li Changxiao's situation. His spiritual energy had been exhausted for more than three hundred years. Was he hiding in a cave or living among the human world?
Li Changxiao said about living in the human world. Wu Haitang chuckled and immediately replied, what's the good of living in the human world.
The two chatted a lot, but did not reveal their cultivation level. This might be a tacit understanding between cultivators. In fact, even if the spiritual energy was not exhausted, it would be very impolite to ask about each other's cultivation level when meeting and to use spiritual sense to detect cultivation level.
However, when the spiritual energy is not exhausted, the depth of one's cultivation and how powerful one is can be guessed by looking at the surrounding aura. If one says that Fuyao is big, it is indeed big, but if one says that it is small, it is actually not small. After practicing for hundreds of years, the new geniuses who have emerged from all over the country and the old strong men have also heard of it.
For example, Li Changxiao had never seen Wu Haitang before, and had never been to the "Dawu Continent" where she lived. But he knew of this person and what she looked like. As long as she was powerful enough, it was only a matter of time before she became famous.
Tianjiao is regional. They grow and practice in one place, absorbing the spiritual energy of this world, breaking through into the secret realms of this world, gaining various blessings from the secret realms, and giving back to the world after their cultivation reaches a high level. It is said that practice is about taking advantage of the situation. The place where a Tianjiao is born and grows can be regarded as a selfless mother.
Therefore, the name of a famous genius is often followed by the region where he lives. In his own territory, his strength will be much stronger.
It is difficult to uniformly measure the strength. If there is no opportunity, the geniuses from two different regions will rarely have the chance to fight each other, unless the genius has grown into a powerful one and has advanced one step further on the stage.
Even the star ranking list released by the Fuyao Holy Land takes various factors into consideration and states in advance that it is not necessarily correct.
The next day.
Wu Haitang said goodbye and left early.
Not too many words.
Li Changxiao felt from her dream that this once famous new generation genius did not have much interest in talking to an unknown person like herself. He stayed overnight last night just out of pure curiosity.
After extinguishing the fire and covering it with soil, the swordsman continued on his donkey.
The little donkey is quite cheerful, and along the way, he really meets a lot of different kinds of people.
Everyone has his or her own purpose and mission. We meet briefly in the long river of life and then separate.
……
Autumn is over.
Winter is coming.
The first heavy snow of the year fell between heaven and earth.
