Chapter 65

Chapter 23 Uncle Li
The Huaihe River is located in the eastern part of the Tang Empire in Nanfangbuzhou, between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and is called "Sidu" together with the Yangtze River, Yellow River and Jishui.

The Huaihe River originates from the Tongbai Mountains in the northwest, and its main stream flows through the Nanhe, Huainan, and Jiangnan areas within the territory of the Tang Empire.

Since Ruyizi was possessed by the Jade Robe Emperor, she has been traveling day and night to Guishan Mountain in Huaiyin.

According to the speed of ordinary people, it would take at least 30 years to travel from the territory of Baoxiang Kingdom in Hezhou, Xiniu, to the territory of Tang Empire in Nanfangbuzhou.

Ruyizi is not an ordinary person. She was originally an Earth Immortal who had accomplished Taoism, and later received the mysterious power bestowed by the Jade Robe Emperor.

Therefore, under his way of exercising earth escape during the day and traveling through the clouds and fog at night, it only took him nearly four months to reach the lower reaches of the Huaihe River.

If it wasn't for some unscrupulous casual cultivators on the way who wanted to rob Ruyizi of the magic weapon, otherwise he would have at least half a month in advance.

On this day, the sun had just set, and Ruyizi used the technique of earth escape, drilled out of the ground, panted heavily, looked up, and found that there were crops in all directions.

Although cultivators have magical powers that are different from ordinary people, after successful cultivation, they can not only avoid cold and heat, but also avoid food and live long-term.

But as the saying goes, "A good man can't stand three paoxi", what will happen if he pulls three paosi?Of course it is dehydration. Acute renal failure may be complicated by severe diarrhea and dehydration!

Even though Ruyizi has already reached the realm of bigu and does not need to eat every day, water is the source of life. After traveling for more than three months without a moment of rest, her physical strength has already been exhausted!

Although his hunger was not obvious, he couldn't control his dry mouth. If he couldn't replenish water and regain his strength, he wouldn't be able to continue his journey.

Ruyizi was exhausted, although there was mana in his body, he couldn't mobilize it, so he could only slowly release his spiritual thoughts, and slowly dispersed in all directions, looking for the source of water.

Not long after, Ruyizi's divine sense captured a place five miles ahead, where the breath of mortals was more concentrated, it seemed to be a small village.

He originally wanted to hold his breath and ride the clouds to the village, but then he thought about it, Emperor Yupao had ordered that unless it was absolutely necessary, he was not allowed to reveal the means and identity of a monk in front of mortals, so as not to be planted by the heavens as eyes and ears in the mortal world noticed.

Ruyizi lowered her head, looked at her feet, curled her lips and said to herself, "I can't help it, I have to wrong you."

After saying that, he began to recite the incantation silently, and a puff of fresh air suddenly appeared around his body. After the fresh air dissipated, he had already transformed into the appearance of a wandering old doctor.

Even on foot, Ruyizi's leg strength is more than a little stronger than that of ordinary mortals. After more than ten minutes, he arrived at the entrance of the village.

"Good, good!"

As soon as Ruyizi arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw an ancient well at the head of the village, and a large tank was placed on the open space next to the well.

He happily came to the big tank, lifted the cover made of bamboo boards, scooped up half a handful of water, and took a sip.

"There is a hint of sweetness in the cleanness, it is really a good well!"

After drinking, Ruyizi sat down beside the ancient well, began to exercise and adjust her breath, and prepared to rest for a while.

At this time, an old man came out of the village, carrying a pole on his shoulder, with an empty wooden barrel tied to each end of the pole.

Seeing a stranger sitting by the ancient well, who looked like an old doctor from Youfang, he greeted him loudly.

"Hi! Old mister, are you the doctor of You Fang?"

Although Ruyizi noticed that someone was approaching, the person who came was exuding a mortal aura, so he was not nervous as he was exercising and adjusting his breath.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, the old man didn't care. He came to the well on his own and fetched water as usual.

"Old man, I'm sorry, I was so tired from the journey that I lost a little strength. I just took a nap, so I couldn't respond to you in time. I'm really sorry!"

Ruyizi stood up and saluted. While he was talking, the old man had already filled the water.

The old man put down his shoulder pole, walked to the old man who Ruyizi transformed into and sat down, stretched out his hands and rubbed his left and right legs, and said, "People in our village have seen a lot of passers-by like you, old man, so you are old Don't blame yourself."

When Ruyizi heard the words, he suddenly became interested, and said, "Brother, do you know how to get to Huaiyin County?"

Hearing Ruyizi call him "brother", the old man looked at the white hair of the other party, smiled, and didn't care.

"Fifty miles forward from our village, there is a county town called 'Anle Town'. As long as you go around Anle Town, you will be on the border of Huaiyin County."

Ruyizi said: "Is there a war ahead, or is there a plague, otherwise why would you bypass Anle Town?"

The old man looked Ruyizi seriously, and asked a little puzzled, "The old man doesn't know 'Anle Town'?"

"I don't know, please explain one or two, brother."

The old man said sadly: "It's not that Anle Town can't enter, but those who entered, none of them came out again."

Seeing that the old man was lost in memories, Ruyizi chose to remain silent, waiting for the other party to continue talking.

"Old man, my surname is Li. My father went to Anle Town with other bold people out of curiosity 50 years ago, and he has never returned. My mother also entered the city 30 years ago in order to find my father. did not return."

"You must want to know why my father came to town, don't you?"

"Let me tell you, many years ago, someone claimed that the roads in the city were paved with jade, restaurants, teahouses, medicine shops, pawnshops, etc. are all available, and business is easy. After entering the city, anyone can find their own comfort. This It is also the reason why the city is named 'Anle Town'."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "A lot of foreigners came here because of their reputation, just to enter the city to see if the rumors are true, but no one came back. So, old man, I suggest It's best to take a detour, sir!"

"Thank you, Xiongtai, for your guidance, and please accept this!"

Ruyizi felt that this information was very important. In order to express her gratitude, she pretended to reach into her bosom to take out something, but in fact she took a piece of insect repellent jade from the magic treasure of storage, and stuffed it into Uncle Li's hand.

Insect repelling jade is a common material for ascetics to refine high-level magic weapons, and it has a deterrent effect on ordinary snakes, insects and beasts.

Ruyizi can refine many pieces of insect repelling jade by finding a piece of spirit stone at random. To him, insect repellent jade is nothing ordinary, but it is a rare treasure in the hands of ordinary people.

Uncle Li saw that Ruyizi didn't seem to be lying, so he resolutely refused to accept it, saying: "This kind of treasure, the old man is not blessed to accept it!"

In the past around Baoxiang Kingdom, there were many powerful demons obediently driven by Ruyizi. Now he sees that Uncle Li is a nice person, and wants to give him a piece of the most common jade piece, but Uncle Li dares to refuse it, which makes Ruyizi very annoyed.

Ruyizi was in a hurry, a cold light flashed in his eyes, a murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body, and he asked without thinking: "Are you going to accept it or not?!"

Uncle Li was so frightened by Ruyizi's terrifying eyes that his legs became weak, and he accepted the jade piece tremblingly.

Ruyizi sneered, turned around and walked towards Anle Town.
