fairy cage

Chapter 171
The separation came faster than Yu Lie had imagined, and the separation between the two was more calm than he had imagined.

When the two rode the sandworm in Honggu Grotto, staggered all the way through all the checkpoints without any danger, and arrived at Diving County, before Yu Lie had time to entertain each other, he reluctantly tried his best to be a landlord. She Shuangbai was about to embark on the journey to Qianzhou Daocheng, and refused to stay longer.

Nvdao also asked Yu Lie aloud:

"From Brother Yu's words along the way, he also wants to go to Qianzhou, and even plans to leave the Taoist scriptures in Qianzhou, so choosing a day is worse than bumping into the sun, and setting off with Pindao today?"

It's a pity that Qian County is Yu Lie's hometown, and there are still some people and things in the city that Yu Lie needs to deal with first.

So Yu Lie could only shake his head, and dragged She Shuangbai to a wine shop at the entrance of the city that seemed okay, ordered Xiaoer to warm up two pots of wine, and invited She Shuangbai to have a meal.

In the meantime, he also used his status as a Taoist to provide She Shuangbai with a guide to Qianzhou Taoist City, which could somewhat save the other party some troubles.

After such a thing happened, the two wanted to bid farewell in the small wine shop, but Yu Lie politely sent She Shuangbai to the place where the boat and cart leading to Qianzhou was.

The two chatted a little on the way, and She Shuangbai talked about it naturally: "I also hope that brother Yu can come to Qianzhou as soon as possible, and then you and I can get together a few times."

Yu Lie also smiled and replied: "Very good, I also hope that Fellow Daoist She can explore the way in Qianzhou for the poor Daoist, and then I can go to seek refuge with Fellow Daoist and get shelter."

Talking and laughing, in the end Yu Lie stopped outside the send-off team in the place of boats and cars.

In the cool evening breeze.

The two finally bowed to each other, and She Shuangbai's figure disappeared into the crowd of people. Yu Lie swayed around in place a few times, then turned and walked towards the small wine shop only a few dozen feet away.

On the way back, Yu Lie thought about it, and once again felt that She Shuangbai was mysterious, and there was something wrong with her origin, otherwise why would the other party be in such a hurry, arriving in Diving County on the same day, and leaving on the same day.

Yu Lie even suspected that the other party's name was also fake.

Because along the way, there were many times when She Shuangbai wanted to mention something as if hesitating to speak, but in the end she held back.

Yu Lie can only think as positively as possible in his heart:
"Maybe fellow Daoist She is in a hurry to return to Qianzhou, just like I want to stay in Diving County first, and fellow Daoist She also has to deal with things in a hurry."

After thinking for a while, Yu Lie suppressed these distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

The two had formed a friendship during the journey away from Heishui Town, and the future would be long. After he left the county and arrived in the state, he would naturally have a great chance to meet and know each other's true identity.

And just like what Yu Lie said when sending the other party away, he is still looking forward to having She Shuangbai serving as an outpost in Qianzhou Daocheng. When he arrives in Qianzhou Daocheng, he will definitely not be unfamiliar with the place!
In this way, as long as She Shuangbai's identity is not bad and will not implicate her, the more mysterious and well-connected the other party's identity is, the better for Yu Lie.

Walking back to the wine shop, Yu Lie planned to finish the remaining wine and the remaining meat.

These things look simple, but he spent a lot of money to buy them, and they all contain aura.

But when he walked to the table he had just now, he found that most of the food and drink left on the table was now empty, not a single drop was left, and the table was wiped and polished. Like wax.

Yu Lie was taken aback for a moment, looked around the restaurant, and called the waiter over:
"Fellow Daoist, why did Pindao leave the table in less than half a cup of tea? Pindao just told him to do so."

The shop waiter walked to the table respectfully, and said with surprise after hearing the words: "Hey! Did the guest officer say that?"

In the words of the other party, he pointed to a wooden sign on the counter and said with a bitter face:

"It seems that the shopkeeper forgot to remind you when you were paying the bill, and didn't give special instructions. Slightly, guest officer, look at the sign."

Yu Lie raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, because there were twelve large and small black characters written on the wooden sign:

"People go to cool tea, small business, no table left."

When Yu Lie looked over, the person who had been standing bored behind the counter looking at the account books seemed to have noticed Yu Lie's gaze.Without raising his head, the other party tapped the wooden sign next to him with his fingers.

Buzz!

A few traces of true energy surged, and the dim words on the wooden sign suddenly shone brightly, like a red-hot iron block, which attracted more attention.

Seeing this, Yu Lie suddenly laughed dumbfounded, and sighed:

"It's a place where boats and vehicles gather to cheat people and kill people. The impression is the same as before. Pindao really returned to his hometown."

Diving County is the place where business travelers from all Dao Towns gather within ten thousand miles, and it is also the only important transportation point leading to other counties and state cities. The business here is first-class and more prosperous than Dao Town.

Inside and outside the county town, alert and cunning people also appeared frequently, and good and bad people mixed together.

Yu Lie once heard something in the past. There was a town lord of Fangdao Town, a seventh-rank Taoist official. When he was staying in a hotel in Qianjun County, he was taken away by a little Taoist boy in the name of serving him. A storage device.

What was even more shocking was that the Taoist of the seventh rank was unable to do anything to win the other party, and he didn't even know who the Taoist boy was.

The Taoist official of the seventh grade felt that he had been bullied, and wanted to make the ghosts and gods of Qianjun City search all directions and strictly check the road guides. He didn't believe how far a mere Taoist boy could run.

But in the end, he was ridiculed in public, got a response of "not enough cultivation", and finally let it go, and was called a countryman.

This incident was widely circulated in Diving County, and the low-level Taoist boys in Qianjun were not ashamed, but proud. Everyone was vying to be that daring Taoist boy.

Of course, this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, the water is probably quite deep.

In the restaurant, Yu Lie shook his head after sighing with emotion, and walked out of the small restaurant with a flick of his sleeves. He didn't go there to argue with the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

There is no other reason. The shopkeeper who knocked on the wooden sign just now has true energy in his body, and he is a Taoist of the eighth rank.

Yu Liexiu couldn't convince the opponent in terms of base, and he didn't dare to make a move.

It should be known that Diving County is not the same as Heishui Town. In Heishui Town, a seventh-rank Taoist official is the best.

However, in Diving County, the slightly larger families have at least one priest in their ancestors.

After the Taoist boy in Qianjun was promoted to the eighth-rank Taoist, he was able to look a little more human and live more freely, but he was completely unable to dominate.

In addition to the fact that in Qianjun, Taoists gather more and have a larger base, it is also related to the clearer and clearer rules of Qianjun.

Compared with Heishui Town and other Yiyantang districts, the ghost and god system in Qianjun has already been established, and the ghosts and gods are responsible for inspecting the Quartet.

If a person who violates the law of Tao wants to make the ghosts and gods accommodating and turn a blind eye, he must either be humane, or he must be at least a seventh-rank cultivation base, with an equal personality.

Otherwise, the ghosts and gods would not be sympathetic to a person who violated the moral law. They would like to take the other person into prison, and wait for the other person's family to bring money and knock them down.

If you encounter ghosts and gods who are a bit tougher and don't care about future generations, such ghosts and gods will be soft and hard, and they will make rich people say that they are selfless and the law is like a furnace.

And in this wine shop near the boat and car shop, the shopkeeper has a lot of skills, and he can open a wine shop in the place where boats and cars gather in Qianjun County.

These characters are just like the boss of the gambling shop in Heishui Town and the flattering Taoist boy in Honggu Grottoes, they are difficult local snakes.

Yu Lie hasn't been back to Diving County for many years, and he's just a new Taoist, so it's hard for him to shake his prestige in front of such local snakes.

Instead of adding more twists and turns, or even making some jokes, he might as well admit his fault first, get a small loss and retreat, and settle the score later.

Anyway, in this kind of place, it is not uncommon for profiteers and corrupt dealers to collude, and he is not the only one who has been tricked.

Even Yu Lie recalled the atmosphere of Qian County in recent years, and suspected that if it wasn't for him, he would be an eighth-rank Taoist now.

Just the waiter in the shop, the other party would not be polite and grimacing to explain the fudge as before, but most of them would be arrogant, say that they didn't hear it, and threaten Yu Lie not to make trouble for nothing.

Because even the waiter who greeted and sent him to the store was a high-ranking Taoist boy.

This guy just had a habitual smile on his face and looked humble, but he was different from the waiters in the shop in Heishui Town. After all, this guy was also a city resident with a foothold.

Walk out of the wine shop.

The scene in Yu Lie's eyes became vivid and chaotic again. He looked at the west entrance of the city where the cars were like flowing water and the horses were like a dragon.

hum!
It was a puff of white air rising into the sky, rising from the boat station.

A gigantic monster slowly squirmed out from the boat station. It was as high as a floor, connected in circles, breathed in and out, turned into mist, accelerated its speed, and then whizzed away like a cloud.

This thing is exactly the boat cart used by Diving County to connect other Dao counties and Dao cities thousands of miles away. It can travel along the dragon veins all over the mountain and sea boundary, and it is called "dragon cart" or "dragon boat".

According to different refining materials and techniques, dragon chariots and dragon boats can be made of iron, meat, or even paper...the list goes on and on.But the shapes are generally similar, like long snakes and long worms, and the interior layout is also similar to the sandworms that Yu Lie rode on when he came here. The bodies are all hollow, which can be used to ride people and things.

A dragon cart and dragon boat can carry more than [-] people, and at least a thousand people, excluding mules, horses and livestock, and there are other areas for riding, so there will be no confusion.

Compared with the real dragon cart and dragon boat, the sandworm that Yu Lie rode on was really just an earthworm. It belonged to the "mule, horse, boat and cart" used by country people. It was not only rickety, but also uncomfortable. It can be said that it is impossible to travel thousands of miles away, and it may be caught and eaten by a big monster on the way.

On the street in front of Zhou Che, Yu Lie looked at the huge thing going away, and thought to himself:

"I don't know if You Daoist She is on this dragon train, and it will take her a few days to reach Qianzhou..."

For Taoists, dragon chariots and dragon boats are only used when traveling far away.Taoist boys are limited by their identities and guides, so they have the opportunity to flow to other Taoist counties in the upper realm, and it is only possible.

When Yu Lie left Diving County, he was just the last Taoist boy who had just obtained the Taoist book. Not to mention taking a dragon cart and dragon boat, even taking a dragon cart from Diving County to Daocheng of Qianzhou, what kind of experience would he pass through? He also doesn't know the boundary and how long it will take.

Some people say that it starts at sunrise and arrives at sunset, some say it takes three to five days, and some say seven days and seven nights. There are different opinions, and he has to ride it himself to know.

The dull and long roar of the dragon chariot gradually faded away and completely disappeared.

Yu Lie stood on the street and looked away.

He gathered his sleeve robe, and the look of expectation in his eyes grew stronger:
"I don't know how the dragon chariot and dragon boat in the mountains and seas are different from the similar things in the previous life?"

Yu Lie made a decision in his heart, not for anything else, just to be able to ride this dragon cart and dragon boat as soon as possible, open his eyes, he also has to finish his family affairs as soon as possible, and then rush to Qianzhou Daocheng.

The next moment, there were footsteps on the street, and Yu Lie's figure staggered and disappeared in front of the wine shop.

At this time, the waiter in the wine shop poked his head out, looked at the direction where Yu Lie disappeared, and pouted:
"What's so rare about the dragon carriage? I've been looking at it for a long time. You ignorant bumpkin!"

The waiter took a handkerchief, jumped onto the door frame, and wiped the plaque on his stomach.

He watched the Taoists coming and going on the street condescendingly, especially those who looked like they were from other places, and he felt a sense of superiority in his heart, and he worked harder.

the other side.

After Yu Lie left the boat station, he didn't go straight to the north of the city and returned to the place where Yu's family was.

He walked in the city on foot, wandered around a few times, ran to a quiet room in an official name in Qianjun, and rented it for seven days and nights in one go.

It's not that he's more timid because of his hometown and he doesn't dare to return to Yu's house directly, but that he intends to first skin the corpse of the seventh-rank winged lizard to make paper and include it in the natal book, and after turning it into the second change, Then go home to visit relatives.

Although the corpses of monsters can be stored for a long time, the storage utensils such as blood clam belly and pitcher plants can barely keep fresh, but if you want to absorb spells from the corpses of monsters, the fresher the corpses, the better.

Generally speaking, it is best for a Taoist to strike while the monster is still hot and its soul has not dissipated.It's a pity that Yu Lie was congealing the Dao at that time, and the body of the seventh-rank winged lizard was too damaged, so he missed the opportunity to take advantage of the heat.

Walking into the quiet room, Yu Lie inspected it carefully, took out a spirit stone, fiddled with it a little, and raised the formation in the quiet room to isolate the inside and outside.

Immediately, there was a buzzing sound in the quiet room, and it became quiet, and a trace of invisible coolness arose in the room, making Yu Lie breathe a few times, and he felt refreshed.

This quiet room is impressively a quiet room with the Spirit Gathering Formation, and isolating the inside and outside is actually just a side effect.

But after Yu Lie paced a few times, he took out his newly purchased sound-proof and foggy talisman paper, and lit it with a snap.

The white air rose, and soon a hazy barrier appeared in the formation of the quiet room, which more completely isolated the inside and outside, and could prevent people from peeping.

Beware, Yu Lie slapped his purse and took out pieces of flesh and blood from the three storage utensils.

He dragged and pieced together a little, and a huge dead lizard appeared in the quiet room.

Viscous blood oozes out, the blood is strong, and the smell is tangy...
