Taiping Inn

While talking, the three followed the crowd into Baigu Town.

Baigu Town at this moment was very different from before. It was already crowded in two hours. Although the residents in the town were all tomb robbers with lives on their hands, they did not dare to put on the airs of local tyrants when they encountered such a scene. They left all their belongings behind and packed up some valuables to escape from the town as soon as possible.

This made it much easier for the people who entered the town later, and they did not cause any trouble when they entered the town. According to the unwritten rules, the higher the status of a person, the closer he is to the center of the town. In the center of the town is a building similar to an ancestral hall, but it is not dedicated to the ancestors of any family, but to several ancestors of the tomb-robbing lineage. In front of the ancestral hall is a large open space, more than a hundred feet long and wide, paved with bluestone slabs. It can be used as a threshing ground during the busy farming season, and it becomes a place for many children to play and frolic during the slack farming season. Now this place has become a gathering place for people in the right path, but those who can walk to this open space are all superior. In addition to the ordinary disciples of Zhengyi Sect and Cihang Sect, most of them are from the great sects with great reputation in Zhongzhou.

The next ones are the powerful ones in Longmen Prefecture, such as Wutong Sect and Wangyue Sect mentioned by Wang Ying. The leaders of the two sects can naturally get familiar with Yan Feiqing, but the disciples they brought can only be stationed around the open space.

After all, there are more than a thousand people. After rushing in, the town is filled up. An unknown person like Wang Ying can only stop at the edge of the town. Li Xuandu doesn't care. During the "Four-Six Dispute" back then, he was also like Yan Feiqing today. If he had never picked it up, he would naturally have no way to put it down, but since he had picked it up before, he could put it down.

It was already noon when Yan Feiqing activated the "Zhengyi" flag. It had been two hours since Yan Feiqing activated the flag. It was almost dusk, which was time for dinner. When going out, one must bring their own dry food, otherwise they would starve to death in the wilderness. Wang Ying took out a shortbread from his bag and felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Li Xuandu and Su Yunjiao, because they didn't look like they were carrying dry food. They didn't even have a bag on their bodies. The legendary Xumi treasure was not something that everyone could use. In their Qingfeng Villa, only the owner and the second owner had one, and it was not big, so it could only hold some valuables. But he only had one shortbread. Even if he wanted to be humble, who should he give it to?

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "We just had beef at noon, so we are not hungry now."

Wang Ying had been traveling for a whole day and was very hungry now. After hearing what Li Xuandu said, he stopped being modest and began to eat the cold and hard crispy cakes that had begun to fall apart. Of course, they were not delicious, but when he ate them after he was hungry, they were the best in the world.

Li Xuandu looked at the people around him. Based on his experience in the martial arts world over the years, he could recognize more than a dozen sects of different sizes. Although they had a large number of people, they might not be the opponents of Zaoge Sect. The key still depended on the disciples of Zhengyi and Cihang Sect brought by Yan Feiqing and Su Yun'an. They were originally in Beimang County, but after Zaoge Sect opened the "Three Refining" formation, they fled out of the city and scattered all over the place. After receiving Yan Feiqing's flag call, they gathered here again.

In fact, Yan Feiqing's original intention was to summon the disciples of the twelve sects, not the disciples of these ordinary sects, but these people came voluntarily. The reason was very simple, and it could be summed up in four words: human relations and worldly affairs. If you can establish friendship with the twelve sects of the righteous path in this matter, it will be a great blessing. Even if you can't establish friendship, it is good to be familiar with them. At worst, you can talk about it in the future on the river. You have fought side by side with the twelve sects of the righteous path and followed the righteous leader Yan to punish the people. What a face-saving thing is this? Whether it is a lone traveler or a sect, the reputation in the world will naturally rise to a higher level. Originally only famous in Zhongzhou, it will soon spread to the states in the north.

Of course, this matter will definitely kill people, and many people will die, but as Wang Ying said, if you are afraid of death, don't go to the world. Since you have chosen this path, you must be prepared to die in the world.

In the world, there will always be deaths.

The three followed the crowd and walked a distance, then found a vacant place to sit down. Not long after, another group of men followed and sat not far away. They all looked very tired, and they didn't talk. They just sat there listlessly eating and drinking.

Looking at this situation, if the group wanted to attack Beimang Mountain, they would have to recuperate in Baigu Town for half a day. Otherwise, when everyone was tired, it would be difficult to kill the enemy or protect themselves.

Li Xuandu turned his wrist, and a small bronze tripod appeared in his palm. It was made of fire copper and had no other use, but it could generate fire. Then he took out three tin wine pots from the "Eighteenth Floor" and put them in the small tripod.

Wang Ying was stunned.

Although this brother Li was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt with pockets in the sleeves to hold things, it was still too big to fit the small tripod, not to mention the three wine pots, which could not be stuffed in even if they were forced. So there was only one explanation, which was the legendary Xumi treasure.

Li Xuandu did not pretend to be mysterious. He raised his hand slightly, and his sleeves slid down, revealing the "Eighteen Towers" on his wrist. The eighteen dark beads made people dazzled.

It was undoubtedly the Xumi treasure.

Wang Ying was stunned for a long time, then he slowly sighed: "Brother Li is really... rich, really rich! Brother Li is a disciple of the Twelve Sects of the Righteous Path, right? Only the direct descendants of these thousand-year-old sects can have such a hand."

Li Xuandu did not talk much about his identity, but just said: "We met by chance in the world of martial arts, and knowing each other is fate. I once saw such a couplet in front of an inn, which said: 'Heaven doesn't care, earth doesn't care, wine doesn't care, whether it's bitter or happy, just drink.' Today we don't talk about any sects or martial arts, just drink."

While speaking, Li Xuandu picked up a wine pot and handed it to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was a little flattered, but then he felt a surge of heroism, reached out to take the wine pot and drank.

"Hot!" Li Xuandu shouted: "Drink slowly."

At this time, Wang Ying had been burned, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, "hissing" inhalation.

Li Xuandu shook his head, picked up another wine pot and handed it to Su Yunjiao.

The martial arts world cannot do without fine wine. Su Yunjiao, who considers herself a martial arts person, will naturally not refuse. After taking the wine pot, perhaps because she felt that the veil on her head was too much of a hindrance, she simply took it off, revealing a face that shocked Wang Ying. Although he had just taken a sip of wine, at this time, he still thought he was drunk and dazzled.

Li Xuandu couldn't help introducing her at this time, saying: "This is my junior sister, surnamed Su."

Wang Ying seemed to be caught on the spot as a thief, and hurriedly retracted his gaze, saying: "Su... Hello, Miss Su."

Su Yunjiao, holding the wine pot in one hand, was silent, just drinking by herself.

Wang Ying held the hot wine pot, subconsciously holding his breath, not daring to breathe.

Li Xuandu couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw this scene.

Brother Wang, with your courage, it will be difficult to find a martial arts heroine to spend the rest of your life with.
