Immortality is above

Chapter 73 72: In the world of mortals, there is no place that is not dirty

The structure and layout of this city is similar to that of the county capital. It is quite popular. It has basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and all walks of life. Compared with the scene outside, it seems like a different world.

It didn't take long for Chen Liubai to find a time-honored inn, which was the Yuelai Inn.

Walk in and ask the waiter to arrange an independent stable for the rouge horse.

As long as the money is available, the service will be attentive, no problem.

Along the way, Chen Liubai basically didn't have to worry about money. In the Hutian bag, whether it was banknotes, gold, silver, or copper coins, it was enough.

After placing the horses, he asked for an upper room.

Living in an inn may be a bit noisy, but once the door is closed, almost no one will disturb you.

This is different from the wild. When a campfire is lit, it's hard to say what might be provoked.

Passers-by, thieves, even evil spirits...

Living in a hotel, three meals a day is not a problem.

The fine meat he carried has long been used up. Ingredients of this quality are hard to come across in urban markets, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have the money.

The only option is to settle for less and eat ordinary meat.

In fact, for him now, as his cultivation level has improved, the effect of refined food has also been greatly weakened. Only blood food can nourish him.

Otherwise, why bother rushing to Tongguan?

As for hunting monsters, Chen Liubai planned to travel alone and leave the horse in the inn stable to recuperate.

Rouge is smart and knows how to take care of herself.

After tidying up a little, we went to the hall on the first floor and ordered a pot of mutton to eat.

In such weather, eating a pot of it will at least satisfy your appetite.

"This young master invites you."

While I was having a great time eating, someone came over, bowed and said.

This is a middle-aged man, his clothes are neat and thick, and his face is elegant. When people look at him, they will have a good impression of him.

When Chen Liubai came down just now, he raised his eyes and saw the entire situation on the first floor. Everyone and everything was clearly visible.

So we know that this middle-aged man was originally sitting at a table in the southeast, and there was an elderly man at the same table.

The old man had a pale face. Although he was old, he was still in good spirits, which was obviously due to practice.

This is not to say that you are a master, but you need to fight through the qi and blood with righteous methods, so that you can still maintain your energy and spirit when you enter old age.

It seems that the middle-aged people are just the entourage of the old man.

"This is Su Zhan's book of history. Didn't you ask me for advice?"

"Chen Liubai, a scholar."

Su Zhan was slightly startled, as if he felt that Chen Liubai should not be just an ordinary scholar, but he quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "My old gentleman saw that you are well-groomed and would like to invite you to come over and have a chat. Is that okay?"

"it is good."

Chen Liubai did not refuse.

Observing the world and observing life, he never minded getting to know people.

The premise is that the other person is an interesting person.

When people passed by, the mutton pot was naturally moved with them.

The two parties sat down and made brief introductions.

Mr. Su tapped his slender fingers on the table: "Liu Bai, you came from Jiangzhou and traveled all the way north. What did you see?"

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Chen Liubai's answer was simple and direct.

Hearing this, Mr. Su's eyes narrowed. Not only was he surprised at the meaning of this sentence, but he also didn't expect Chen Liubai to dare to say: "Well said! This is what I saw and heard along the way." He looked up and down. , unable to hide his appreciation:

"You have been a scholar in Liubai for many years, but you have never taken the examination. Instead, you have traveled around the world and studied. Why?"

"I don't intend to have a career."

"I thought you felt that officialdom was dirty and you wanted to keep yourself clean and didn't want to join in the dirty work."

Chen Liubai said calmly: "In this world of mortals, where is it that is not dirty? How can a person truly be clean and self-sufficient in it? In my opinion, it is just self-admiration and self-pity."

Hearing this, Su Zhan's expression suddenly changed. He felt that Chen Liubai must have seen something, so he meant something.

But the tone was not polite at all, not like a scholar's tone at all.

Could it be that his identity...

Thinking of this, his expression changed.

Mr. Su was calm: "Sure enough, he is very human and his words are astonishing. Can you tell me how to cure this pollution?"

Chen Liubai smiled and said: "Old sir, you asked the wrong person. Chen is just a wanderer, so he can't say that. I'm full and I'm leaving."

He stood up, bowed, and left the inn in large strides.

Looking at his back, Su Zhan said: "Sir, this boy is no ordinary scholar. How about I go check him out?"

Mr. Su said with dismay, "Don't be too meddlesome. I think he has extraordinary bearing, profound conversation, and a strange demeanor, so I want to get acquainted with him. But if you want to check him out, wouldn't that be a source of disgust?"

Su Zhan said: "It's just that in his words, he seemed to know the identity of Mr., and deliberately made some overtones. Could it be that he came from the capital and waited here on purpose?"

Mr. Su raised his sparse brows: "So what? I came to Beijing this time with the intention of dying. No matter what others say, it will not change. After a while, I will continue on my way after having a full meal."

……

Chen Liubai didn't care about the other party's speculations. Of course he wouldn't predict anything. He knew Mr. Su's true identity, but he just had a guess.

When you arrive at Tongguan, near the Gyeonggi area, the identities of the people you meet will gradually become more complicated.

But these personal relationships were just a small episode for Chen Liubai, and they were quickly forgotten.

You need to check your identity when entering the pass, and it is the same when you go out.

Since he didn't bring Rouge Horse with him, he wanted to test his magic skills. When he arrived at the city gate, he immediately used the "Invisibility Technique".

Then walked over in a swaggering manner.

Among the people in the market, this method is highly talked about due to its miraculous effects and wide range of application scenarios, and many theories have been spread.

There are also some strange people who claim to have mastered the art of invisibility and come in and out, but in the end they were splashed with a pot of black dog blood, and then the spell was broken.

In fact, those cannot be called true invisibility, they are just similar, only superficial.

The "Invisibility Technique" that Chen Liubai learned is attached to the Five Elements Escape Technique, which is the authentic way of transformation.

He had used it before, and with the help of trees, he could hide it from human eyesight, but it would be detected by hounds with a keen sense of smell. Later, continuous immersion and progress, especially after obtaining the Yin and Yang fragments, combined with the Taoist rhyme and used to supplement it, will make the related spells more and more perfect.

Just try it out.

The soldiers guarding the pass are not the lazy soldiers from the county town, but elite soldiers, who have mastered military skills, have been on the battlefield, and are full of energy and blood.

These will cause certain interference to the spell.

This is all because the use of Taoism must be inseparable from the support of Dharma thoughts; Dharma thoughts are intangible and qualitative, and if they are not strong enough, there will be many problems, resulting in the failure of the spell.

Take Taoist Master Wang that night for example. He didn't even master the concept of Dharma. As a result, the "Wall Penetrating Technique" became the "Wall Crash Technique". This is the reason.

At that moment, Chen Liubai became invisible in front of a group of elite soldiers and walked out.

Those elite soldiers felt something, but they couldn't see anything and looked around blankly. In the end, they just thought they were overthinking.
