Chapter 147 Meeting, Separation, Heavy Snow

As the journey progressed, the man and the donkey gradually left the vicinity of Beiyuan River. The little donkey felt very sorry for this because it had just learned a skill of stepping on water and breathing like a turtle from Yu Luosha, which allowed it to move flexibly in the river and play with fish.

As the little donkey's martial arts skills deepened, sometimes at night, the man, the donkey, and the ghost would discuss martial arts together. The three had different perspectives. Li Changxiao started from the perspective of a cultivator, the donkey from the perspective of an animal, and Yu Luosha from the perspective of an ordinary jianghu. They actually discovered a lot of blind spots that had been ignored before.

These things, if you think about them carefully and ponder them seriously, are actually very interesting things.

When passing through a dense forest, Li Changxiao and his party met a team of escorts. In this day and age, escorts are definitely a high-risk profession. There are many beasts and monsters on the road, and the taboo ghosts and gods are real.

The two parties walked a distance together. The escorts were always on guard. After discovering that Li Changxiao had been following behind, they sent a young man to deal with him and test the waters.

After observing for several days, they still couldn't tell how powerful Li Changxiao was. The leading escort decided to meet Li Changxiao in person, so one night when the escort team was resting, he invited him to come over for a drink and meat.

After a happy gathering, the escort was relieved about this donkey-riding swordsman. In the following journey, the two sides often communicated and drank together at night.

The leading escort was in his prime, with vigorous blood. They had a good meal and meat for every meal, because escorting was a dangerous physical job, and almost no one was willing to do it if they didn't sleep well or eat enough.

The leading escort was a drunkard and had a good alcohol tolerance, but unfortunately, they couldn't drink too much when escorting. In the end, the two sides parted at a fork in the road. The leading escort said that if there was a chance in the future, he would go to the nearby county to find him, and he would invite Li Changxiao to drink.

Li Changxiao smiled and responded, riding his donkey and heading to another fork in the road.

They were just passers-by to each other.

Time passed.

Another month passed.

It was late autumn, and the weather was getting cooler. It was fine during the day, but it was a bit cold at night.

Li Changxiao found a good place to rest, so he started a fire, took out the ingredients from the bamboo box, and solved the dinner first.

The little donkey was expecting and drooling. Even if Li Changxiao chased it now, it would never leave.

Along the way, it had seen too many tragedies among horses. Where could it find such a powerful and good-tempered master, and a ghost sister with strong martial arts?

Li Changxiao's first dish was a roasted rabbit with wild vegetables. It was a wild rabbit shot in the mountains. It was first scalded with boiling water, then the rabbit hair was plucked, the internal organs were taken out, and then the wild vegetables were stuffed into the stomach and roasted on the fire.

The second dish was the ordinary roasted wild mushrooms, but Li Changxiao added a process. That is, sprinkle a little wine on it to increase the flavor.

The third dish was roasted sweet potatoes. The process of this dish was the simplest. Just throw it into the fire pit and it will be over.

......

Li Changxiao lived very seriously and cooked very seriously. The aroma of the roasted rabbit was already overflowing before it was cooked.

The sky was completely dark.

Suddenly, Li Changxiao was quick-witted and slapped the "beautiful lady" with a slap. This kid wanted to repeat the same trick and spit on the hare so that he could eat it all by himself.

The beautiful lady swallowed her saliva awkwardly and waited boredly on the side.

After a while.

Its eyes were suddenly attracted by a mare coming towards it.

You coming towards me made me so eager.

It had never seen such a beautiful mare, with white mane fluttering slightly, hair white and silver, tall and mighty, and perfect muscle lines!

The donkey whistled and laughed obscenely.

The silver horse looked over, but its intelligence was too low, and it didn't know that it was teased by a short and fat donkey.

Beside the white horse, there stood a pretty figure, wearing an eye-catching red dress, with a beautiful face and a proud look between her eyebrows.

The owner of the white horse glared at it with some displeasure, and then looked at Li Changxiao, "Is this your donkey?"

"Yes." Li Changxiao replied with a smile, and patted the donkey with his hand to make it behave.

The donkey immediately became quiet. It thought it was a wild horse, so it wanted to tease it, but it would be fine if it had an owner.

The woman in red looked at Li Changxiao, frowned, and showed hesitation.

After pondering for a moment, she slowly uttered two words, "Daoyou?"

Li Changxiao smiled and nodded, and told the woman in red to come over and sit if she didn't mind.

The woman in red agreed, tied the reins of the white horse to a tree, and she came to the campfire and chatted with Li Changxiao.

The two first revealed their names. Her name was Wu Haitang. Li Changxiao had heard of her. She was a new generation of Tianjiao in the "Dawu Continent" of Qingyu. No wonder she was so arrogant.

But for Wu Haitang, she had never heard of the three words "Li Changxiao". Although she didn't show it, she still looked down on him in her heart. This is human nature.

Wu Haitang asked about Li Changxiao's situation. The spiritual energy had been exhausted for more than 300 years. Was he hiding in the cave or living in the human world?

Li Changxiao said living in the human world. Wu Haitang chuckled and immediately replied, what's so good about living in the human world.

The two talked a lot, but they didn't reveal their cultivation. This might be a tacit understanding between cultivators. In fact, even if the spiritual energy was not exhausted, it would be very impolite to ask about cultivation when meeting and use spiritual consciousness to detect cultivation.

When the spiritual energy is not exhausted, one can guess the depth of one's cultivation by looking at the surrounding atmosphere. If you say that Fuyao Tianxia is big, it is indeed big, but if you say it is small, it is actually small. After practicing for hundreds of years, the new prodigies and old strongmen in various places have also heard of them.

For example, Li Changxiao had never seen Wu Haitang before, and had never been to the "Dawu Continent" where she was, but he knew such a person and knew her appearance. As long as she was strong enough, it would be a matter of time before she became famous.

Prodigies are regional. Prodigies grow and practice in a place, absorb the spiritual energy of this world, enter the secret realm of this world to break through, obtain various blessings of the secret realm, and give back to the world after their cultivation is high. It is said that cultivation is to take advantage of the situation. The place where the prodigy was born and grew up can be regarded as a selfless mother.

Therefore, the name of the famous prodigy is often followed by the region where they are located. In their own territory, their strength will be much stronger.

It is difficult to unify the measurement of strength and weakness. If there is no opportunity, the two geniuses from different regions will rarely have the opportunity to fight, unless the genius has grown into a powerful person and the stage has advanced a step.

Even the star rankings released by the Fuyao Holy Land also take various factors into consideration and state in advance that they are not necessarily correct.

The next day.

Wu Haitang said goodbye and left early.

There were no excessive words.

Li Changxiao felt from her dream that this once famous new generation genius did not have much interest in talking to an unknown person like herself. He stayed overnight last night just out of pure curiosity.

After extinguishing the fire and burying the fire with soil, the swordsman rode on the donkey and continued to move forward.

The donkey was quite cheerful. Along the way, he really met many people of all kinds.

Everyone has his own purpose and his own mission. They meet briefly in the long river of life and then separate.

...

Autumn is over.

Winter is coming.

The first heavy snow of the year fell between heaven and earth.
