Chapter 201 The Wild Store Meets the Coffin
Xu Dao went out again, thanks to the rich spiritual materials in the bag of the three Yasha sect disciples, and their net worth was much higher than that of ordinary Taoists, so that the hunger and thirst in his belly were relieved within two or three days.

At the same time, with three fang generals that can move independently, Su Jiu doesn't have to run around for Xu Dao. He has his own fang generals and scale soldiers to search for blood food for him.

Walking out of the new cave, Xu Dao looked towards the west, his eyes flashed with thought.

The location of the Yaksha Gate is in the northwest.

Previously, Xu Dao only knew the direction of this gate roughly, but now he already knows the specific direction of the gate through the words of several Yasha sect disciples.

Thoughts were surging in his mind, and he was making the last calculation before departure.

The reason why I plan to go to the Yaksha Gate is not only because this gate is the last practice place in the southwest except for the Temple of Bone and Sheshan.

Also because his sect is full of immortals with a lot of spells, there must be many urgently needed spells of peace of mind and calmness in the sect, which suits his wishes.

In addition, it is also because compared to the frontiers of Baigu Temple and Shezhaobu, the territory where Yasha Gate is located is already within the territory of Wu State, densely populated and rich.

In addition to the practice forces such as the Yashamen, there are also many other casual cultivators and families.

Xu Dao went to the northwest, even if he did not enter the Yaksha gate, he still had other choices, either hang out in the workshop, visit casual cultivators, or continue to go deep into the interior of Wu to inquire about news.

The only thing that made Xu Dao doubtful was the existence of the ghost that he had seen in the mind of Daoist Xiong Sha before, although the other party's thoughts, as well as the grievances left in the dark, had been resolved by Xu Dao.

But no matter what, the ghosts and gods are all at the Golden Core level, and Xu Dao can't match them. If they match up, he can only be crushed to death by the opponent's fingers.

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Dao thought of the demon locust tree outside the Black Mountain and the body of the mirage in the Dragon Palace.

"That day was only the early stage of Qi refining, so you can hang out in the Black Mountain and return home after earning a lot of benefits. Now that your physical body has become a foundation, why should you shrink back?"

Xu Dao sneered in his heart, and with a flick of his sleeves, he shattered all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and at the same time, there was a cold light in his eyes.

To build the foundation of the immortal way, gods, ghosts or gods should be used as spiritual roots. Since the patriarch of the Yaksha sect is a golden elixir ghost, wouldn't it be just right for him to let blood and cut his flesh and give it to him to build a foundation for someone.

Xu Dao thought in his mind: "In ancient times, there was a great power in the west who cut meat and fed it to eagles. The patriarch of the Yaksha sect looked like the rumored great power in the West. Why couldn't he do the same to me, and save me from thinking about his disciples?" disciple……"

Of course, he thought so, but he would never dare to plot against a living Jindan ghost.

Anyway, Xu Dao's mind was settled, he smiled lightly, turned around and called out to Su Jiu who was behind him: "The journey is about to start, is Jiu'er ready?"

"Come here! Master, I'll be fine." Immediately a voice came from the cave, it was the voice of the little fox girl Su Jiu.

After ten or so breaths, she trotted out of the cave with her face flushed, combing her clothes as she ran, her body was a little naked, she didn't know if she just woke up or something happened just now.

Seeing Su Jiu's appearance, Xu Dao stepped forward, embraced Su Jiu, and whispered:
"It's cold at high places, so you need to wear more clothes, so as not to catch a cold later."

After finishing speaking, Xu Dao solemnly helped Su Jiu check his clothes, which immediately made Su Jiu cry out.

It is thousands of miles from Sheshan to the boundary where the Yaksha Gate is located, and the roads in the two places are blocked. It is as difficult as Xudao came to Sheshan from the boundary of the Bone Temple before.

Originally, if someone wanted to go from Mount She to the inner territory of Wu, they would wait for the ice on the Wuxia River to melt, and then take a big boat, go down the river, and go there.

A major incident happened on Keshe Mountain, and Xu Dao also beheaded several disciples of the Yashamen, including Xiong Sha and other disciples who entered the house. Naturally, he would no longer follow the river to the Yashamen.

In order not to meet the Taoists in the Yaksha Gate along the way, it will be a troublesome thing if there is another conflict.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to walk on foot anymore, he can go directly to the sky, cross the mountains, and go straight to his destination in the west.

After a while, two figures entangled with the neighing of sword energy in the valley, soared into the sky, stepped into the clouds and rushed towards the west.

Because Xu Dao's physical body is still in the process of transformation, he is not tired of traveling every day. He can fly with the sword for several hours a day at most, and eat while walking the rest of the time.

Along the way, let the tooth generals continue to bring him blood food for hunting to provide him with the needs of his physical transformation.

In addition, Xu Dao and Su Jiu also had other small episodes on the road, and each was happy, which dragged down the two of them on the road.

………………

About ten days later, the two of them had completely left the barbaric land and penetrated deep into the interior of Wu State.In their field of vision, smoke rose frequently, and villages slipped past their feet from time to time.

After reaching the vicinity of the county where the Yaksha Gate is located, Xu Dao took the initiative to land from the sky, and then hurried on by walking on land.

Just like he had left the Bone Temple before, he bought himself a donkey and rode on it, letting Su Jiu lead the donkey in front, and the two of them drove along the road one after another.

When walking to the wilderness, there was no one around, so Xu Dao simply lifted Su Jiu onto the back of the donkey, and the two rode together on the same donkey.

It's also fortunate that Xu Dao can use qigong to support his body at any time, otherwise, with the weight of his current body bones, it is not something an ordinary donkey can bear.

Only a demonized body can barely bear his riding.

this day.

As dusk came, the light on the country road began to dim, and it was already a little distance from the previous village, and because he was not familiar with the place, Xu Dao didn't know how many miles he was still to the next village.

Just when he was about to tell Su Jiu to let the two of them spend the night directly in the wilderness, the donkey was walking, and the movements of its feet accelerated, and it ran forward in a sudden.

When the master and servant on the donkey's back came back to their senses, the hills in front of them turned, and a few dim lights appeared at the end of the path.

Xu Dao glanced over and found that it was a small two-story Linlu Yedian store. There was a cloth signboard on the outside of the store, with a big word "Su" embroidered on it.

There are fences made of logs around the store, more than half the height of a person, which can guard against wild animals that may appear in the wild.

Only then did Xu Dao realize that it should be the old donkey under his crotch who knew the way and felt that he was going to reach the resting place, so he was so excited and worked hard.

"I only heard that there is an 'old horse knows the way', but I didn't expect that my donkey, which I bought casually in the county, can also 'the old donkey knows the way.'"

Riding on the donkey, Xu Dao stroked the donkey's back and chuckled a few times, then he hugged Su Jiu in his arms, kicked the old donkey in the stomach, and signaled the old donkey to drive forward more vigorously.

Xu Dao also casually ordered: "When we get to the inn, I will buy you the best fodder for you to eat."

I don't know if the old donkey could understand people's words, or because it got excited because it was close to the inn.

Su Jiu, who was also on the donkey's back, realized that the two of them would not have to sleep in the wild, and that they would have hot water to bathe in later, her eyes also showed joy.

Soon.

Ding Dong, the bell on the donkey's neck dangled, and it had already run outside the wild shop.There was a waiter waiting in the shop. As soon as Xiao Er heard the sound of the bell, he opened the curtain and looked east and west. When he saw Xu and Dao on the road, a simple smile appeared on Huang Pupu's face.

Xiao Er hurried out of the shop, opened the fence, and waved his palms to greet the two of them.

"Guest officer, guest officer! Here please!"

When the donkey approached, Xiao Er respectfully invited the two of them to go inside, while he himself stayed behind and locked the fence.Then he walked quickly to the side, took a wooden stool, and put it beside the donkey, so that Xu Dao and the others on the donkey's back could step down.

"There is no village in front of this area, but it's not safe for our shop to drive at night. The two of you should go to the shop to have something to eat, stay overnight tonight, and go on your way tomorrow."

While supporting the two of them, Xiao Er jokingly said:

"Look at this precious donkey of yours. It looks like it's not young, but it has a strong body. It doesn't seem to be struggling after driving these roads."

Xiao Er was a little noisy, Xu Dao heard it, and replied with a light smile on his face: "This donkey is tired and lazy, he stopped and stopped along the way, of course he is not tired."

He cupped his hands at Xiao Er: "Please trouble me to prepare it with good fodder from the store, and add some soybean meal, which can be regarded as taking care of it."

"Okay!" Xiao Er said, and then led Xu Dao's donkey to the backyard.

While Su Jiu stood aside and straightened her clothes, she also respectfully acted like a servant, saddling Xu Dao.

It's just that this young servant's dress is weird, her head is tightly wrapped with a cloth towel, and no one else can see a strand of hair on top of her, so the Xiaoer just now thought she had a pimple on her head and was ashamed. to meet people.

Su Jiu walked quickly in front of Xu Dao, lifted the bamboo curtain at the entrance of the inn for Xu Dao, and looked into the shop with her head up.

But as soon as she looked in, her face was startled, her eyes widened, and she turned to look at Xu Dao.

Although Xu Dao didn't enter the store, he simply glanced around with his divine sense early on.Seeing Su Jiu showing shock, he stretched out his hand and said in his mouth before Su Jiu could make a sound:

"Don't panic." He walked directly over by himself, and opened the bamboo curtain to block the wind.

Although it is summer now, but because it is not the height of summer, the fog in the mountains and forests is also thick, and often the field will become slightly cold as soon as the sun goes down.

That's why this wild shop in the countryside put down bamboo curtains at the door of the small building, and built a pile of charcoal fire inside.

Xu Dao walked into the inn, his face was filled with heat, the first time he looked up, he saw a coffin shining brightly in the inn lobby.

The coffin was square and painted yellow, reflecting the candlelight.Beside them were a few strong men who were resting. All of them were wearing sackcloth and filial piety, obviously they were all coffin bearers.

Xu Dao's master and servant walked into the store, immediately attracting the attention of the strong men.

There was also an exclamation in the store: "Hey! There are customers coming. Damn you, you don't even bring in the customers yourself. It's a sin!"

It was an old man in long gown who was working on his abacus in front of the counter. He stretched his neck to look at Xu Dao and the two of them. He wore a melon cap on his head. He looked like a tortoise poking out his head. He was probably the shopkeeper of this inn.

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked up to Xu Dao, and confessed, "I'm sorry, sorry, I really surprised the guest officer, and I invite the guest officer to have a cup of tea first, so as not to be shocked."

The disturbing he was talking about was referring to the yellow lacquered coffin placed in his shop.

It's nighttime now, with such a coffin placed in the store, anyone who lifts the bamboo curtain will feel terrified.

Fortunately, Xu Dao only glanced at the yellow-painted coffin. He didn't care about the incident of bumping into the coffin when he entered the store. He waved his hands and said with a light smile, "It's all right, it's all right, let's get into the coffin."

"The little second brother led the poor donkey to the backyard, so don't blame him for the shopkeeper."

After finishing speaking, Xu Dao asked the shopkeeper to lead the way quickly, opened an upper room for himself, and prepared some food and hot water for bathing.

Hearing his words, the manager of the wild shop looked Xu Dao up and down, only then did he realize that Xu Dao was wearing a dusty Taoist robe, which turned out to be a Taoist attire.

The shopkeeper didn't know whether Xu Dao was a real Taoist priest or a fake Taoist priest, but he still flattered him and said, "The Daoist priest is a master of art and bold! But he still offended the Taoist priest. It's a sin... the Taoist priest please!"

When the two were talking, the strong men who carried the coffin in the store also stood up one after another, and they all cupped their hands to apologize to Xu Dao at a distance.

The shopkeeper is also happy to see that the newcomer is so courageous.In addition, the shop assistants were not available, so he personally guided Xu Dao and Su Jiu upstairs, talking non-stop, introducing the service and food in his shop.

"Although the shop is in the wild, the vegetables are very fresh, and there are wild game! The nearby hunters will send the hunted things to our shop every day. If our shop doesn't want them, they will go long distances to sell them. Inside the county..."

After bragging about himself, the shopkeeper of the wild shop really aroused the greed in Xu Dao's stomach. He immediately threw out a piece of silver and asked the shopkeeper to give him a share of all kinds of food that could be cooked in the shop. The money was not enough. If so, add more.

Such a proud guest immediately made the manager of Yedian burst into laughter from ear to ear.Originally, he swallowed all the words "there is not much hot water, so I can't take a bath" in his mouth.

After exchanging pleasantries and instructions, Xu Dao and his master and servant rested in this small shop.

As the night darkened, they either ate the food in the store as a pastime, or stayed in the hot water bucket, freshened up and cleaned up, and none of them was frightened by the coffin downstairs.

But in the middle of the night, when the cold air in the field became heavier, everyone else in the store became terrified...
