Taiping Inn

Like many people who were fleeing disaster, Li Xuandu and Liu Chen planned to leave the place overnight. When they came out from underground, it was already late at night. Taking advantage of the night, a heavy snow fell. At this moment, the sky and the earth were already white.

Those who come out to travel the world will have light body kung fu, but to be able to walk on the snow without leaving any trace, that is a technical job. Miss Cai from Tingfeng Tower can almost do it. However, the Jianghu masters' walking on the snow without leaving any trace is like ordinary people walking on tiptoe. They will not feel tired after walking for an incense stick, an hour, but they will feel tired after walking for a day. Moreover, most people can't even walk for an incense stick.

For ordinary Xiantian masters, running for an hour without leaving any trace is almost the limit. If the light body kung fu is a little worse, they have to pay attention to the running route of the Qi under their feet and in their body at all times, which is even more exhausting. After a long time, they will inevitably be exhausted. Even the master of the Return to the Realm can only support seven or eight hours at most.

Although the heavy snow was quite strong, it did not last long. After only one hour, the snow was exhausted. After the snow stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright moon. The white moonlight shone on the earth. The moonlight and the white snow were indistinguishable. It was only a silver-white color, and even the boundary between heaven and earth was confused.

In this situation, if you want to avoid being followed by the Zaoge Sect, you must not leave any traces. You must leave no traces on the snow. Otherwise, in this desolate mountain and wilderness, where few people go, leaving a string of footprints, it may be difficult to erase for more than ten days in the windless and snow-unmelting weather.

Then Li Xuandu and Liu Chen ran continuously for a day and a night without leaving any traces on the snow. At first, Liu Chen was a little bit competitive, but later, even she, the master of the Return to the True Realm, was a little overwhelmed, but Li Xuandu still seemed to have spare energy.

However, Li Xuandu did not have as many thoughts as Liu Chen. After running nearly 800 miles, he took the initiative to ask for a rest.

Liu Chen also knew that the Jianghu was dangerous, and he did not dare to fight himself to the point of exhaustion for the sake of anger, so he agreed to it.

At this time, the two had come to the border between Zhongzhou and Luzhou. According to the jurisdiction of the governor, Zhongzhou belongs to the jurisdiction of Governor Qinzhong, and Luzhou belongs to the jurisdiction of Governor Jingchu. Now that the governor is powerful, the relationship between the two governors also determines the distance between the two regions to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Governor Qinzhong and Governor Jingchu have a good relationship because they want to join forces to resist the Northwest Zhou.

The last time Li Xuandu came to Luzhou was still late summer, and now it is early winter, and a whole autumn has passed.

This period of time is not long, nor short.

After the two officially entered Luzhou, they no longer chose desolate roads, but entered the official road, where there were more people. The post station on the official road is not open to civilians, but only responsible for receiving officials, so there is a substitute for the post station-inn.

The two continued to walk southward. Li Xuandu did not forget to use the "positive method" in the "Xuanwei Zhenshu" to accumulate the qi in his body. He exhaled and inhaled with one step. The exhalation was like a tiger's roar and the inhalation was like a dragon's roar. The dragon and the tiger got along well and formed a pill, which was round and smooth. There was a strong qi in the sea of ​​qi, and there were dragons walking in the limbs. The dragon and the tiger split at the sound.

Just like this, he walked and refined qi all the way. Li Xuandu was a person with extremely high talent. He had walked this road of qi refining once before and was familiar with it, so he could avoid the step of sitting in meditation. This was also what Li Xuandu said when he taught Zhou Shuning, "distraction".

However, the snow this winter was particularly heavy. After a few days, another snowstorm came suddenly. The two learned a lesson this time. They no longer stopped in the mountains and walked for a while in the snowstorm until they vaguely saw a tall flag in the snowstorm.

When they got closer, they could see a big flag fluttering in the increasingly fierce snowstorm, with four characters written on it: Taiping Inn.

Li Xuandu was a little surprised.

Liu Chen didn't care, saying: "In the past few years, although the Taiping Sect has closed the mountain, for some reason, many such inns have been opened in the martial arts world, all named Taiping Inn. Like Taiping Mountain Villa and Taiping Money House, they are all Taiping Sect properties. Because of the name of Taiping Sect, there is no need to worry that it is a black shop. It is very popular among the people in the martial arts world."

Li Xuandu suddenly realized and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

It seems that he has not been out of the martial arts world for four years and has been out of touch with many things in the martial arts world. He didn't know these.

The Taiping Inn in front of Li Xuandu now is similar to the Taiping Inn in Huainan Prefecture. The main body is a two-story building made of blue bricks, which can accommodate dozens of people without any problem. There are two courtyards outside the small building, which can store sundries and horses.

Li Xuan had stepped into Taiping Inn twice, and both times he encountered a young man dozing on a tree stump, but this time there shouldn't be another one, because the young man is no longer in Luzhou.

Entering the inn, it was not surprising that it was another husband-and-wife shop. But compared with Mrs. Lu's shop, the shopkeeper here was an old man, with an extremely thin figure, wearing a cotton robe and swaying on his body, and the shopkeeper's wife was quite hard to describe. If Mrs. Lu was plump, then the shopkeeper's wife was sturdy, especially standing side by side with the shopkeeper, she looked even more broad-waisted and fat.

Because of the blizzard, the lobby was relatively dim at this time. The shopkeeper and the proprietress stood in the shadow, and their faces seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, making it difficult to see their true expressions. One fat and one thin, one tall and one short, in a trance, they seemed to be a pair of impermanence returning from the underworld.

Li Xuandu came to the counter, took out a Taiping coin from the "Eighteenth Floor", put it on the counter, and just revealed the four words "Peace in the World", and said: "Boss, how is your business?"

The skinny shopkeeper's eyes glowed with a deep light, as creepy as the eyes of a cat or dog at night in the dim vision. He glanced at the Taiping coin on the counter and said hoarsely: "It's okay."

Li Xuandu smiled, put the Taiping coin into his sleeve, then turned his head to look at Liu Chen beside him and asked: "Do you want to rest here for a night, or just eat something?"

Martial artists are not like alchemists. Even if they can do fasting, if the loss is too heavy, they still have to eat to replenish their qi. If they fast for a long time, the martial artist's qi and blood will be damaged, so eating something appropriately is a good thing.

Liu Chen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Whatever you want."

Li Xuandu took out another piece of silver from the "Eighteenth Floor" and put it on the counter: "Boss, a table of ordinary food, no wine."

The proprietress reached out and touched the silver, and replied, "Please find a place to sit down, it will be ready soon."

Li Xuandu and Liu Chen found an empty seat in the corner and sat down, while also looking at the scene in the inn.

At this time, there were still several tables of guests in the lobby, and they didn't look like ordinary people. One of the tables had four people, tall and straight, with traces of military origin, and the leader was a middle-aged man who was about forty years old, with a calm demeanor and no smile.

There was another table of real people from the underworld. Their swords and weapons were either placed on the table or leaning against the table legs. They always looked at people with a sense of scrutiny, as if someone owed them money. They dressed as boldly as possible. One of them even exposed his chest in this early winter weather, revealing a tuft of heart hair. His iron tower-like figure made people intimidated. As for the other men, they also followed suit. There was even one who was not very good at cultivation. Although his face was blue from the cold, he still had to resist and hold on, as if he could not show his heroic spirit if he wore a heavy and bloated cotton coat.

At another table, there was a pair of men and women from a famous and upright family. They looked very colorful in this dimly lit inn. The man was handsome, wearing a green shirt and had a refined demeanor, while the woman was wearing a white dress, with a beautiful face and a gentle demeanor. Each of them wore a sheathed long sword of excellent quality, both placed on the table. Looking carefully, the two swords were actually a pair, just like the male and female swords of Zhengyi Sect. The people were paired, the swords were paired, it was a pair of immortal lovers.

I just hope it’s not the disciples of Zhengyi Sect and Cihang Sect again.

About half an incense stick of time, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the surging wind and snow rolled into the lobby with the biting cold, making the man who was only wearing a single layer of clothes but still trying to hold on shiver.

He was about to turn around and curse, but when he looked back, it was as if someone was strangling his throat.

I saw a group of people slowly walking into the inn in the wind and snow.

Wingless black gauze, green clothes, brocade boots, Wenluan sword.

Qingluan Guard.
