Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 200 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

The Southern Jin State is connected to the Tang Dynasty in the north, with Daze as the boundary, the Dahe State in the south, the Dahe State is the boundary, the Xiling State and the Song State in the east, and the Yuelun State in the west.

Junction of Southern Jin and Xiling
A young man in Tsing Yi rode a donkey slowly on the main road, and Haotian Shenhui swayed on the young man on the donkey's back, casting a layer of holy color.

The donkey under the seat looked proudly at the Xiling soldiers guarding the border, ignored them, and stepped briskly into the city gate.

The Xiling guard looked at the city gate suspiciously, why did he feel despised by something?Looking at the empty city gate, the guard shook his head and guarded the city gate wholeheartedly. The light is immortal, and the sky will last forever!What he wants to guard is not the city gate, but Haotian!
Wearing a green shirt and a donkey, Li Ming walked in this country full of Haotian beliefs. The territory of the Xiling Kingdom is not large, with Dahe and the Southern Jin Dynasty to the west and the South China Sea to the south.

Xiling Divine Kingdom is a religious country, and it is Haotian's agent in the secular world.Xiling is a secular country where Taoist temples and priests are spread all over the Haotian world. Except for the Tang Dynasty, it has the supreme authority and is deeply respected by the world.

Walking in this country with the strongest belief in Haotian, feeling the pious belief of the people passing by, all kinds of thoughts flashed in Li Ming's mind for a while.

"Is this the birthplace of practitioners in this world?"

The master of the academy and the founder of the Demon Sect all worked in Xiling. Presumably, the Buddha also borrowed from the piety of the Haotian belief here, and created his own religious power, the Xuankong Temple.It is understandable to say that Xiling is the birthplace of the world's practice world.

One person and one donkey walked in the boundary of Xiling, the invisible force of space cut off the body and breath, shuttling through the origin of practice like ghosts.

However, the more he saw it, the more Li Ming disdained the beliefs here, and he used the name of Haotian to do dark things, saying that he would destroy you on behalf of Haotian, and you don't know how many innocent people died.

"Oh, rotten faith."

Li Ming shook his head and casually wiped away a group of temple guards who were judging the world on behalf of Haotian.

On the wide road, the god guards who were escorting the vehicles suddenly trembled, and then turned into ashes all over the sky without warning, sprinkled and nourished this ancient place of faith, which can be regarded as returning them to the embrace of Haotian .

The personnel on the prison car looked at the divine guard who turned into flying ash without a sound, but they were so excited that they knelt in the prison car, bowed their heads and shouted
"Haotian has manifested! The light is immortal, and Haotian will last forever!"

Crisp and pleasant voices came and went.

Li Ming rolled his eyes at the fanatical girls, but that pious look was particularly glaring in the prison car. Li Ming sighed quietly and ignored the follow-up here.

No matter how miserable their follow-up is, he won't pay attention to it anymore. Whether it's cold-blooded or selfish, this decadent country and distorted beliefs are not worth his efforts.

"Oh, let's go."

Li Ming shook his head and rode away slowly on a donkey. He did not comment on religious behavior.

after a long time

A group of divine guards came here in a hurry. The leader was a tall man. The man looked at the empty prison car with gloomy eyes and a cold aura from his body.

"Follow me!"

The man said in a cold voice, and then led many god guards to chase after the messy footprints. He was already tall, wearing armor, and he was like a movable metal fortress that rolled over the ground and raised waves of smoke and dust.

Luo Kedi, the commander of the guards of the Xiling Temple, was annoyed and anxious at this moment. It was an order secretly given to him by the headmaster. Now that they ran away, if they couldn't find them, they might be punished.

Thinking of the headmaster's cold eyes and his increasingly irritable behavior, Luo Kedi couldn't help speeding up his pace, and soon caught up with a woman who was running away according to the footprints.

"Take her down."

The panic-stricken woman returned to the familiar prison car again, and Luo Kedi didn't stop chasing after that, and once again sent waves of smoke and dust on the avenue.

After all, how could a woman's physical strength compare to that of a divine guard? What's more, although Luo Kedi's cultivation base was a little weak, he was still considered a practitioner, and soon the prison cart was full again.

Confused, panic, despair and other emotions were imprisoned in the prison car and drove towards the sacred place again.

Xiling
In the small town at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain
Li Ming, who was dressed in green clothes, patted the donkey, and the donkey's hooves stopped suddenly. Li Ming, who turned over and got off the donkey's back, looked at the shop in front of him, with a flash of thought in his eyes.

I saw a wrinkled old man drinking wine in the shop. The veteran hand covered with yellow calluses skillfully squeezed a handful of peanuts into his mouth and chewed them. His face was covered with black ash.There are a few iron barrels in front of the shop, and a sweet and greasy aroma seeps out from the broken edge of the barrels.

"Bring me a baked sweet potato."

Li Ming took out the copper coins and looked curiously at this shop that has been passed down for thousands of years. There are very few forces in the world that can pass on the past for thousands of years.

The old man took the copper coin and took out a sweet potato from the iron bucket with his bare hands. It didn't seem to feel the slightest scorching. After wrapping it in paper, he handed it to Li Ming. A pair of old dim eyes looked deeply at Li Ming, and then he raised the wine glass and poured it Drink it yourself.

Li Ming took the hot roasted sweet potato, gently pinched the skin of the sweet potato with his fingers, and suddenly a strong aroma came to his nostrils, and the sweet and greasy aroma bloomed in his mouth after a light bite. Li Ming finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand slowly, Then he sighed: "The roasted sweet potatoes that have been passed down for thousands of years are really good."

Even so, he didn't spend any more money to buy it again, one was enough to taste, and he would get tired of eating it again.

Seeing that Li Ming had no intention of buying another one, the old man drank a glass of wine and sighed:
"The people in your academy are all the same. Every time you come, you only buy one."

Hearing this, Li Ming smiled slightly, then took out a copper plate and handed it to the old man, saying:

"Prepare another one for me. I'll go for a walk up the mountain and come back to pick it up."

However, the old man did not take the copper plate, shook his head and said:
"There is no need to give the money, Ke Haoran has already given it, and his roasted sweet potato hasn't been taken yet."

Hearing that Li Ming didn't force to take back the copper plate in his hand, he turned around and tied the donkey in front of the old man's shop, and walked slowly towards Taoshan.

"Ke Haoran's sweet potato and my donkey will be left here for you first, and I'll get them together when I come back."

A clear and confident voice came, and the old man paused while drinking. Looking at Li Ming's confident and calm figure, the old man's dim old eyes seemed to show the figure of his master.

"Then you have to come back early, or your donkey will starve, and I can't afford it."

Hearing this, Li Ming nodded, and walked towards Taoshan with confident steps, both for his own martial arts and for that senior brother who had never been masked.
