Chapter 562 Ning Caichen
Ning Caichen was embarrassed.
He is a poor scholar.
He came to Guobei County to collect the bill.
The road is not safe.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, evil spirits grow in abundance, and bandits are everywhere.
The last person who came to Guobei County to collect the bill was already dead.
Ning Caichen, a useless scholar with no strength to restrain himself, dared to go on the road alone. With the help of a map and compass, he came to Guobei County to collect the bills. He must be too poor to get rid of the pot.
Holding a broken umbrella, he came to a grass shed on the side of the road to shelter from the rain.
He was soaked through.
He twisted the long shirt on his body, wanting to take a rest.I am hungry, but unfortunately there is no dry food.
At this time, a group of people shouted and ran over.
Someone is chasing after them.
There was only one person chasing him, a strong man in his thirties with a sword.He is Xiahou swordsman.
He swung the long sword in his hand, and cut off a head with one blow.
Just chased to the edge of the grass shed.
Xiahou swordsman killed several people with three strikes, five cuts and two strikes.
Only one person knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, please forgive me! I will return the money to you."
"You dare to steal my money, damn it." Xiahou swordsman shouted angrily, and killed the last thief with his sword.Blood splattered everywhere, directly onto Ning Caichen's face.
It turned out that Xiahou swordsman was chasing and killing the person who stole his money.
He is not killing innocent people.
Xiahou swordsman walked into the hut.
Ning Caichen was so frightened that he walked out of the thatched shed.
At this time, it was still raining.
The blood was washed off his face.
Xiahou swordsman seems to be hungry for killing people.
He took out a white flour steamed bun and gnawed on it.
He is from the martial arts world, he does not drink or eat beef, maybe he is also short of money.
Ning Caichen swallowed, he was hungry.
Xiahou swordsman also saw that Ning Caichen was hungry.
He actually threw a steamed bun to Ning Caichen.
He had no ill intentions towards Ning Caichen.
He wasn't bullying.
He is a man with principles.
Although the thief stole his money, he would kill the thief, but he did not attack innocent passers-by.
Here, some people may complain, isn't it just stealing money, why kill all the thieves?
In this day and age, anyone who dares to steal money may have their lives in their hands. Maybe the thief wants to kill Xiahou swordsman.
Xiahou swordsman had no choice but to kill them instead.
Without saying a word, he motioned Ning Caichen to eat steamed buns.
Then, Xiahou swordsman took his luggage and left without waiting for the rain to stop.
He seems to be on his way.
After Xiahou Swordsman left, Ning Caichen threw away the white flour steamed buns, picked up his luggage, and ran away in a hurry.
This is the second time he has thrown steamed buns.
He threw away his own dry steamed buns, and the white flour steamed buns given by Xiahou Swordsman.
In this era, there are not many people who can waste food like this. A poor scholar like Ning Caichen would not do this under normal circumstances.
Ning Caichen rushed all the way to Guobei County.
The streets are full of men with knives catching fugitives.
"This is a bit like, take it away." They were arresting people at random.
On the wall where the reward was offered, many wanted warrants for fugitives were posted, with portraits painted on them.
A few men in iron armor who looked like soldiers directly took off the portraits and randomly arrested people for comparison.
It seems that anyone who looks a bit like this will be arrested and rewarded.They wore black turbans around their heads.
"It's not you, go away, don't get in the way!"
They don't arrest people who really don't look like them.The government that offered the reward was not stupid enough.
The black-hooded soldiers swaggered away.They continue to arrest people.
Ning Caichen borrowed some water from a shop to wash it off.He was covered in mud on the road.
"Boss, thank you for the water." Ning Caichen was quite polite.
He was just about to pick up his luggage and leave.
"Don't go!" Several other men in iron armor and red turbans came over, grabbed Ning Caichen, and pressed him to the wooden board behind him.
They should be soldiers too.
They also had a lot of arrest warrants in their hands, compared them with Ning Caichen one by one, and found that none of them matched.
"Go away if you're not a wanted criminal. Don't block me from getting rich." The red-turban soldier left.
Ning Caichen hurriedly took his luggage and left.
His clothes are wet.
There are many talismans to exorcise ghosts on the wooden board just now.
Several talismans were glued to his back.
"Hey, don't go." The store owner hurriedly called Ning Caichen to stop.
The shopkeeper's 'don't go' was heard by the nearby soldiers.
They thought there were fugitives and rushed over.
Then, the red turban soldiers and the black turban soldiers fought at each other.
This world is too chaotic.
It is difficult for ordinary people to survive, and they can only be coerced into being bandits or something.
Inn.
"Xiaoer, here is a catty of beef and a jug of good wine." Zhou Qiang came.After he forged the Ninth Grade Golden Elixir, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to go to Guobei County.
He flew directly to the county seat of Guobei County.
He flies away without a trace, not afraid of being discovered by mortals.
"Okay, a catty of beef, a pot of good wine!" The waiter helped Zhou Qiang clean the table neatly, and quickly brought out the beef and wine.
Zhou Qiang drank by himself, thinking about what to do next.
"In this era, the first thing to do is to cultivate.
Secondly, besides practicing, find something to do.
Practitioners pay attention to merit and virtue, and can do good deeds that help people's livelihood."
Zhou Qiang calculated casually.He has no plans to leave anytime soon.He doesn't know if the next world has spiritual energy, he wants to practice here for a while.
After a while.
Ning Caichen is here.
"Guest officer, are you here to stay?" The shopkeeper saw that Ning Caichen was carrying a lot of luggage, and thought that Ning Caichen was going to stay. "A Gen, take the luggage for the guest, and there is a room available."
"No, no, boss, I was sent by Jibaozhai to collect the bill." Ning Caichen hastily explained his purpose.
"Collect the bill? Why are the people who come to collect the bill different every time?" The shopkeeper put away his smile instantly.
"The one was killed on the road last time."
"Really? Then you will be killed sooner or later, why don't you just take advantage of me and stop collecting the bill."
"That won't work." Ning Caichen took out the ledger, flipped through it, and the words on it were already blurred due to the rain.He was quick to think, "Shopkeeper, can I have a look at your stubs? This is a new rule."
"New rules?" The shopkeeper seemed to understand something, and grabbed the account book, "What kind of account is this? I can't see anything clearly. I just want to collect the account, get out, get out." He grabbed Ning Caichen pushed out.
Zhou Qiang shook his head, didn't mind his own business, continued to drink and eat meat, and asked the waiter to pack a lot of cooked food and a jar of good wine.
Ning Caichen couldn't collect the bill, and seeing that it was getting dark, he asked a passer-by nearby, "Brother, where can I stay overnight for free?"
"Free? Hehe, then you go to Lanruo Temple." A passer-by said casually.He was joking.He thought Ning Caichen was joking too.As soon as he spoke, there was silence around him.Everyone here knows that there are ghosts in Lanruo Temple.
Ning Caichen is a nerd, he didn't see anything wrong, "Brother, how can I get to Lanruo Temple?"
"Go ahead from here, walk eastward for three and a half miles, and you will be there." The passer-by hesitated and said.
"Thank you." Ning Caichen walked eastward with his luggage on his back.
"Hey, there are a lot of wild wolves over there, and they come out when it gets dark." A passer-by warned.He was afraid that the nerd in front of him would really die.
Ning Caichen didn't think so, and went east all the way.
Zhou Qiang had already eaten at this time, and carrying the packed things, he also headed east.
He was going to see Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian.
After leaving the city.
Zhou Qiang called Ning Caichen to stop, "Brother, are you going to Lanruo Temple?"
"Yes, I heard that you can stay overnight there for free. I have exhausted all my money and want to stay overnight." Ning Caichen was a little embarrassed.
"It just so happens that I also want to go to Lanruo Temple, go together, go together." Zhou Qiang was also dressed as an ancient scholar.
"Is Xiongtai also going to stay overnight?"
"Correct."
"Brother, where are you from?"
"I'm."
The two chatted while heading east.
The sky darkened quickly.
In the woods.
The howling of wild wolves sounded.
"Brother Zhou, there seem to be wolves." Ning Caichen had already seen wild wolves in the distance.
"Brother Ning, don't worry, some wild wolves can be dismissed by swinging a sword." Zhou Qiang hung a sword by his waist.
"Brother Zhou, let me help you get your things."
After a while.
Sure enough, the wild wolf came after him.
Zhou Qiang drew out his long sword, the sword light flashed, and stabbed the wild wolves to death one by one.
"Brother Zhou is really skilled."
"Thank you. Brother Ning, let's continue on our way."
The two talked and laughed, and walked near Lanruo Temple.
"Brother Ning, stay here. There are people over there." Zhou Qiang had already seen Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman.
The two of them were about to compare swords.
