I’ll Quit Being a God

That red lady really doesn’t have any companions.

Regarding this, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh, feeling it was a pity.

Although he had already guessed the result, he couldn't help but feel discouraged because no demon really came to his door.

It seems that the next time you encounter the demon in Qingming Cave, you have to seize the opportunity and let Xiao Ai talk to you first.

With the power of thunder, I can't pretend to be a bad guy...

Chapter 84 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

Under the sultry sunshine in the afternoon, the team of merchants walked on the road.

It was past the beginning of summer and it was getting hotter and hotter in the mountains.

The ground shook slightly with every step the huge beast of burden took.

Under this scorching sun, all the merchant men who followed the beasts of burden were sweating all over their bodies, and some of them could not bear the scorching heat of the scorching sun.

But when they saw the Baishi City boundary monument in front of them, they still cheered.

"Hahaha... Finally we are almost at White Rock City."

"I have to take a cold bath before entering the city! Then I can have a good sleep!"

"I'm afraid I won't be sleeping alone...hahahaha..."

A burst of cheerful laughter broke out among the caravan.

However, although Lu Heng was not with them, the men did not dare to be too explicit in their conversations. They chatted for a while, but they didn't dare to delve into the topic. They just winked at each other and couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.

Not far in front of them, there was a huge stone tablet standing on the side of the road, with the words "White Rock City" engraved on it.

Under the three big characters [White Stone City], there are also densely carved small characters.

However, behind this boundary monument, there are still desolate Chidao and deserted mountains and forests, and no trace of the city can be seen.

Seeing that Lu Heng was curious about the boundary monument, Huo Feng opened his mouth to explain.

"This is the boundary monument of Baishi City. If you step within the scope of this boundary monument, you are considered to have entered the protection area of ​​Master Wu Zhu of Baishi City."

"Although we are still about a day's walk from White Rock City, we will not encounter monsters on the rest of the journey."

Huo Feng said, "Within the boundary monument, there are patrol masters from the Fire Temple patrolling around to prevent evil spirits from invading."

"Of course, wild beasts are not within the range of the patrolling master. So there will still be ferocious beasts entrenched."

"However, within the boundary monument, the villagers live in groups of hundreds or even thousands. Therefore, as long as there are no monsters raging, ordinary ferocious beasts rarely hurt people."

Lu Heng nodded to express his understanding.

After passing the boundary marker, the next road becomes much easier. It can be seen that the Chidao within the boundaries of the boundary markers is frequently renovated, and there are very few potholes.

And as we walked further, people and farmland gradually appeared on both sides of the road. There were more and more people on the road, and it was no longer like before when I walked in the wilderness for more than ten days without seeing anyone.

On this night, the inn where everyone in the caravan stayed was no longer the desolate and empty inn. It was an inn where someone managed to collect money, somewhat similar to the inn that Lu Heng knew.

But according to Huo Feng, there are no privately owned inns (inns) in this world.

All the inns are under the jurisdiction of the Fire Temple, and there will be wizard masters from the Fire Temple sitting in the inns to prevent evil spirits from sneaking into the business.

The post in the city is directly opposite the Fire Temple, and is only across the street from the Fire Temple. At such a close distance, Yaoxie with low cultivation level cannot hide himself at all.

As for demons with high cultivation levels, there is no need to hide among the crowd, so naturally this management method cannot prevent them.

Because there was a wizard stationed in the inn where the caravan was staying tonight, it was inconvenient for Lu Heng to enter, so he said goodbye to the merchants on the road.

Although demon cultivators are also divided into evil cultivators and righteous cultivators, demon cultivators who do not eat people, do evil, or practice demonic skills can stay in the inn. Only those evil people who do evil and cannibalize people and are filled with evil spirits are not welcome.

But Lu Heng was in a special condition. If he went to the inn, the wizard at the inn would see that he was a demon cultivator and would definitely open his Dharma Eyes to observe him. And once the wizard opens his eyes...hey...

Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh when he thought about this.

The development of this technique of concealing energy and hiding spirit is really important to him, but he still has no clue.

Even though Lu Heng had a headache, there was nothing he could do.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the caravan, Lu Heng took Xiao Ai and Huo Feng and headed south.

The further this road goes, the more people there are on the road. Lu Heng was worried about encountering curious practitioners on the road and causing trouble, so he planned to walk through the wilderness and stay away from the crowd until he left the boundary monument before returning to the road.

With Lu Heng and Xiao Ai's cultivation, the rugged mountains and forests cannot stop them. And Huo Feng's barge horses can travel thousands of miles in a day. They are so miraculous that the cliffs are as smooth as walking on flat ground. It is not difficult to carry Huo Feng through the wilderness.

Therefore, the three of them escaped directly into the forest and walked through the wilderness.

When night fell, they found a place to camp directly downwind and lit a bonfire in the mountains.

This familiar scene seems to have returned to the time when Lu Heng and Xiao Ai just came down the mountain. There was only one person and one wolf walking silently in the wilderness.

But now there is just another Huo Feng around...

After stopping to rest, Huo Feng would try hard to gather the spiritual energy in his body. It's just that his Dao heart is broken, his spiritual energy is disordered, and his cultivation is completely lost. No matter how hard he tries, he can't do it.

But Huo Feng was not discouraged. After feeding the fat bird in the cage that kept chirping, the young man smiled and chatted with the Wolf God about interesting things.

During the conversation over the past few days, Huo Feng discovered that Lord Wolf God was very interested in worldly affairs, so he took the initiative to share some of his experiences in the past few years with Wolf God.

The people of Yunmen have traveled far and wide and have extensive experience. After chatting with Huo Feng in the past few days, although he had no clue about the technique of concealing energy and hiding spirit, Lu Heng's knowledge had become much richer.

If he talks to people again now, he probably won't make that embarrassing mistake of mistaken common sense again.

In the wilderness, Lu Heng and others camped to rest.

On the Chi Road, the caravan that separated from them rested for the night at the post outside the city, and set off early the next morning, arriving at the post in Baishi City before dark.

Compared with the posthouse outside the city, the posthouse inside Baishi City is much larger. Many merchants live in this inn and will not leave until the goods they carry are sold out and new goods are purchased.

This process often lasts for a long time, sometimes even stopping in a city for a month or two. Therefore, the post house was full of people, lively and noisy.

After Xin Sheng and others arrived, they found the steward of the post. After registering and paying the fee, they drove the beasts of burden into the stable under the leadership of the steward.

Then everyone unloaded the goods on the pack animals into the house, agreed on a time to meet in the morning, and then separated briefly.

This Baishi City is bustling and lively, and there is a hook-and-rail place not far from the post station. Everyone in the caravan was a vigorous man. Now they didn't even eat dinner, so they walked in the direction of the hooked fence with a smile.

It's just that Xin Sheng was old and had no interest in such things, so he didn't go.

He took two old brothers who were also uninterested downstairs and went to the lobby to eat.

It happened to be dinner time at this time, and the hall was full of people, and even there were no empty seats on the second floor.

The only place that seemed empty was a spot by the window on the second floor.

In the evening, the cool night breeze blew in, but there was only a red-haired woman sitting by the window on the second floor.

In the noisy hall, the woman was alone, but there were five or six dishes on the table in front of her, making people doubt whether she could finish so many dishes by herself.

Moreover, Xin Sheng and others watched for a while and found that the woman was more interested in wine than food. She drank glass after glass of wine, but only picked up the dishes a few times. It looked like she was a drunkard.

Xin Sheng and others hesitated for a while, but in the end they didn't dare to go up to chat and share the table.

This woman is so weird, and her demeanor is different from that of ordinary people. I'm afraid she can't afford to offend businessmen like them if they bother her.

So Xin Sheng sighed and said, "Let's go back to the house. Just ask the chef to deliver the food directly to the house."

Xin Sheng's words were naturally echoed by the two old brothers.

But just as they were about to go downstairs, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Eh? Isn't this brother Xin Shengxin? I didn't expect to meet him in Baishi City. What a fate."

This familiar laughter made Xin Sheng and the others stop and look back.

In the hall, a bearded merchant had stood up and waved to them with a smile, "Brother, if you don't mind, why don't you sit down and share a table together?"

Xin Sheng looked at the bearded man in surprise, thought for a while, and finally remembered the identity of the other party.

A smile appeared on his face, "Who did I think it was... It turned out to be Brother Liu, haha... You actually came to Baishi City, what a coincidence."

With the two old brothers beside him, Xin Sheng walked towards the bearded man with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "We haven't seen each other for three years since we parted ways in Thousand Needles City."

As Xin Sheng and the other three came forward, the companions around the bearded man also stood up one after another, and everyone greeted each other.

Although the table was already full, everyone still asked the waiter to add three more stools, barely filling the table.

For those who are traveling in business, traveling around and traveling around the world, they can still get to know many interesting people. Nowadays, meeting old friends in a foreign country naturally makes people happy.

After the three Xin Shengs joined, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more lively.

Laughter rang out from time to time, and everyone was talking about some of the things they had encountered after the separation, as well as their plans to come to White Rock City during this trip.

As we drank and drank, the sky gradually darkened.

But no one had any intention of leaving the table. Even though the food on the table had been finished, the laughter still continued, and everyone was drinking until their faces were red and their ears were red and they were very happy.

As time went by, the number of people dining on the second floor also changed several times. Except for Xin Sheng and the others who never left the table, the woman in red by the window also never left.

She occupied a table by herself, drinking wine leisurely and picking up one or two dishes from time to time. But because of his special temperament, no one without a good eye dared to disturb him.

During this period, the chef took the initiative to come out and heat up the food for the woman. The respectful attitude of the post manager when facing this woman made Xin Sheng and others once again confirm that the identity of this red-haired woman was indeed noble.

Fortunately, they didn't rush up to disturb...

During the conversation and laughter, someone asked Xin Sheng about their current situation.

Afterwards, they talked about the fact that the monks invited by Xin Sheng and the others had left now, and they would look for another monk to protect them in Baishi City.

And the mysterious wolf god encountered in the wilderness.

When Xin Sheng and the other three talked about this, they all smiled happily and showed great respect for the wolf god.

The others were even more envious when they heard that Xin Sheng and the others were lucky enough to receive wine from the Wolf God and the wonders of the peach blossom wine.

Amid the laughter of everyone, only the red-haired woman by the window turned her head and looked here in slight surprise.

"Oh?" The red-haired woman murmured in surprise, "Wolf God?"

She smiled, but did not speak. She just sat by the window, leisurely drinking the wine in the glass, and listened with a smile to the merchants not far away talking about the extraordinary things of the Wolf God.

The word fate is really interesting.

The woman chuckled and drank another glass of wine.

Chapter 85 Parade

Inside the post house, the atmosphere at the dinner between Xin Sheng and others became increasingly lively.

The white wolf god's extraordinary abilities made the businessman named Liu envious. After hearing that the Wolf God had left south, he sighed even more.

Although Xin Sheng did not talk about the most bragging experience of the strange beast Xiqu and the red lady, the mere fact that the Wolf God gave him wine was worthy of their boasting.

The efficacy of the peach blossom wine was even boasted to be rare in the world, making other merchants feel itchy and envious.

However, although the atmosphere was lively due to the exaggerated bragging among businessmen, the red-haired woman by the window shook her head.

After sitting there and listening for a while, after confirming that she couldn't hear any more useful information, the woman stood up and walked straight outside.

The steward standing in the distance quickly came over and obeyed the order.

Standing at the top of the stairs, the red-haired woman looked back at Xin Sheng and the others who were chatting animatedly, thought for a while, and said, "These people have interesting stories to tell. Let's give them free dinner tonight."

She smiled and said, "It's hard work to make the story so interesting, hahaha..."

After saying that, the red-haired woman laughed and left.

The steward was a little confused. Although he didn't know what happened, he still obediently waived the bill for Xin Sheng and others.

The red-haired woman did not go far after leaving the inn, but walked straight into the Fire Temple opposite the inn.

The Fire Temple, which was inaccessible to ordinary people, was like strolling in her own garden in front of her, and no one dared to stop her.

A quarter of an hour later, dozens of white figures soared out of the Fire Temple, turning into dozens of misty white smoke and disappearing into the dark night south of the city.

All the parades in Baishi City all left the city at this moment.

In the wilderness, Lu Heng and the others were lucky enough to find a cave. Although the space inside the cave is not large, it is enough to provide shelter from the wind.

After lighting the campfire, Xiao Ai caught a pheasant in the mountains and prepared dinner for Lord Wolf God.

As for Huo Feng, he has no interest in such time-consuming cooking. He took out the dry food he carried in his bag and chewed it for a while. After filling his stomach, he sat cross-legged and concentrated, and continued to try to gather the spiritual energy in his body.

Although it had almost no effect, it was already a task that Huo Feng had to do every day and he never slacked off.

Lu Heng closed his eyes and practiced quietly, continuing to study the art of hiding spirit and energy. But so far, there are still no results.
