Chapter 11: Guan Dao meets a scholar

On the third day after Chen Sheng left, Li Fuyao packed up his things and closed the door of his small yard.
Standing in front of the courtyard, Li Fuyao, carrying a large bag of things, laughed in a low voice: "Maybe I won't be able to come back later. In the past, I always felt that Baiyu Town was really small. It won't take long to walk around the town. Now, looking at it, I still feel a little reluctant."
Qing Huai was empty-handed, ignoring him, just put his hands on his chest, and looked at the small courtyard slightly.
After half an hour after the two walked out, they were about to walk out of the town. Li Fuyao finally turned to take a good look at the town in the morning light before turning around.
There is an official road outside Baiyu Town, which is the only road leading to the outside. Therefore, this road appeared this time. Jianshan is at the junction of Yanling and Dayu, and this place happens to be in Dayu. To the north of Zhou Dynasty, for this trip, Li Fuyao's planned route was to go north to the border area, then enter the territory of Yanling, and then turn to the east, to the Jianshan Mountain, and to Dayuhe At the border of Yanling, the green locust had to cross Dayu to reach Liangxi.
Before, Li Fuyao only learned a little bit about the Taoist species from Qinghuai's words. Later, Chen Sheng specifically mentioned that Taoist species, and said more, Li Fuyao firmly remembered a lot, Qinghuai After all, it was a demon outside the mountains and rivers, not as good as Chen Sheng's understanding of the mountains and rivers.
But the more he knew about that Taoist species, the more Li Fuyao felt that the woman was really a wicked evildoer. Naturally, he became a little worried about what Qing Huai said about going to challenge her, but he knew that Qing Huai didn’t want to listen. Li Fuyao wisely did not mention it.
Farther away from Baiyu Town, I saw some different scenery, not only the tea and wine shop that can be seen once by the official road a few miles apart, but also many other new faces that I have never seen before.
During the period, the two of them even saw a small team of pawns galloping on the official road. Li Fuyao was not surprised at this, but Qinghuai was a little curious.
Li Fuyao, who was walking beside Qinghuai with a package on his back, said softly: "Our Emperor of the Great Zhou, although sitting on such a small place as Great Zhou, has no small ambitions at all. Many wars have been launched over the years. , I heard that in the surrounding Lu Kingdom, more than half of its territory has been occupied by the Great Zhou. Maybe this year, Lu will be completely subjugated. I really don’t know if this Great Zhou emperor becomes the emperor of Yanling, would he? A war will be launched to conquer Dayu and Liangxi."
Qinghuai shook his head and said calmly: "Small countries are fighting against each other by using human lives to win and lose. Yanling and Liangxi have their own Confucianism and Taoism behind them. This is really a fight between the two religious monks. Victory, if one party completely shows its weakness, it is difficult to guarantee that the saints of the two religions will not take action. When the saints compete, who knows what will happen."
Li Fuyao didn't speak, but just remembered what Chen Sheng had said before, saying that this mountain and river had not become immortal for six thousand years. This is probably related to the fact that this mountain and river was beaten to pieces. If the saint makes another move, it will be difficult. Directly sink this mountain and river?
Qing Huai stopped talking about this topic, and instead asked: "You are not from Zhou, why do you say we are the Emperor of Zhou?"
Li Fuyao spread out his hands, saying that he didn't know.
Qing Huai stopped talking, just continued on his way.
The two of them walked along the official road and walked through a small town. They only asked Li Fuyao to buy some dry food. They never entered the town. According to Qinghuai, the town was a bit unclean.
Li Fuyao was a little far away from that small town, and asked cautiously, "Is there really a mountain spirit?"
As always, Qinghuai put his hands on his chest and said calmly: "There are no mountain spirits and wild monsters, but you should know that besides mountain spirits and wild monsters, there are lone souls and wild ghosts in this mountain and river."
Li Fuyao was born in Baiyu Town these years, he relied on storytelling for his living. I don’t know how many times he has told stories about female ghosts hooking up with scholars. He is naturally very familiar, but he just knew that there are demons in the mountains and rivers. , I never thought it was a ghost.
Qing Huai patiently explained: "How do you say the demon cultivator is also a monk, and you can go to the end on that road, but these lonely souls and ghosts can't be said to be monks, but it is because people die for some reason. The obsession never dissipates, and it just didn’t dissipate in the mountains and rivers in time. The lonely ghosts in this form are not only afraid of the sun, but also hard to harm people, but they can only scare people. Of course, occasionally there is chance , I can go on, but in the end, I don’t want to borrow the corpse to recover my soul, or I won’t reach the end of that road.
Li Fuyao frowned, "Should we go take a look?"
Qing Huai said blankly: "Yes, anyway, I can only walk with you for two months at most. After two months, I will go to Liangxi at full speed. If you are not worried about whether you can walk to Jianshan, you can go and see. nothing."
Hearing Qinghuai's statement, Li Fuyao quickly said firmly: "It's important to keep on hurrying."
In this regard, Qinghuai only slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
...
...
He continued on his way, but in fact it was only a short time after he left. Li Fuyao met a young scholar who was dressed shabbyly beside a relatively remote official road. But the scholar seemed a little nondescript, he just had a book. Forget it, he was carrying a hatchet behind him.
When I saw Li Fuyao and Qinghuai, this beautiful, slender young scholar was resting on a large bluestone. Seeing Li Fuyao coming, the scholar stood up and stopped in front of Li Fuyao. .
Suddenly, Li Fuyao was a little surprised. Is it possible that this is also a green forest hero who specializes in plundering?
Only soon, the scholar solemnly saluted Li Fuyao and asked: "This young man, did you know how far Juyu Town is from here?"
Hearing the three words Zhuyu Town, Li Fuyao frowned unconsciously. For nothing else, Zhuyu Town was the unclean town that Qinghuai had said before.
Li Fuyao was silent for a moment, and asked, "What is the son going to Zhuyu Town for?"
The young scholar heard Li Fuyao's question, and soon a smile appeared on his face, "That said, the son must know where Juyu Town is, can the son lead me along?"
Li Fuyao didn't speak, just looking at him.
The scholar remembered Li Fuyao's question before, so he straightened up quickly, and said solemnly, "It's true that I will go to Zhuyu Town this time for nothing else, but to grab relatives!"
Li Fuyao tugged at the corner of his mouth, looked at the hatchet behind the young scholar, and asked with some uncertainty, "The son is going to grab his relatives?"
