Chapter 550: Encountering a Young Man on the Road
Seeking Change Five hundred and thirty-eight years, November. ░▒▓█►─═ ═─◄█▓▒░
Li Changxiao has been traveling north for more than several months. Li Changxiao had walked this two-way road up and down the world so many times, but now he still doesn't feel bored.
There are thousands of roads, but you can always walk on the secluded and interesting trails, see the sudden scenery, drink wine, eat fruits, interact with people in the world, and have a divine connection with the breeze in the mountains and fields.
Walk to the edge of a lake.
Li Changxiao dug a small pit on the shore, filled it with water, caught two small fish in the lake and threw them in. He fed them delicious fish food every day until the fish indulged in it and enjoyed it. At this time, he waved his hand again and put the fish back into the lake.
Then we waited on the shore for three days.
Li Changxiao burst into laughter when he saw the fish and the school of fish turning back to look for the small puddle like a "peach blossom garden", and finally "returning with no luck".
Stop and go, often teasing and teasing things around him.
Interesting and boring.
December.
On this day, Li Changxiao walked to a small village. Due to the passage of time and his journey north, the autumn atmosphere became stronger and deeper, and most of the pedestrians on the road wore coats and cotton wool.
A few days ago, an old man died in that small village. According to the village customs, a three-day banquet was required. Li Changxiao shamelessly went to have a meal. Halfway through the meal, the woman sitting opposite asked him if he was from the village. He couldn't answer the name of the person in that family, so he could only make nonsense, and then quickly sweep away the food. After eating happily, he patted his butt and left without giving others a chance to make trouble. .
Five hundred and thirty-nine years of seeking change.
Li Changxiao met a young master on the road. The young master was dressed in an outfit that made people really envious of him. He wore a golden crown with hair tied on his head, and a jade flute, sachet, and sword on his waist. As he walked, the jade articles around his waist jingled. , crisp and sweet, naturally the crowd's favorite.
The young man also wanted to go north. After becoming a general of a certain country, he entered an official career in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Holy Emperor. In addition, he himself was more interested in the matter of seeking immortality, so he visited everywhere, trying to find a way to become an immortal and escape from it. The vast world of mortals. Travel around the world.
The gorgeous young man met Li Changxiao. The carriage he was riding in suddenly stopped. The well-mannered young man did not get angry. He just dismounted to check. When he saw a drunkard sleeping on the side of the road, he ordered his two servants to take the drunkard away. Wake up and give some money.
It is said that the young man was of noble birth, and the second personal servant was far from ordinary. There is a man and a woman. The man is wearing a corseted military uniform. The fabric is made of silk, brocade or the like, which is breathable and beautiful. His appearance is even more handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, thin lips and straight nose. Looking at the woman again, she is wearing a yellow dress, with a graceful figure and long hair. At first glance, she is a weak and delicate woman. However, if you look closely at her every step and every glance, she is on guard and ready to attack. He is a very powerful warrior.
These two slaves, a man and a woman, were extraordinary slaves. Even the noble young man had to be polite. Moreover, when the two men woke Li Changxiao up, it was already dark, so they simply lit a fire on the spot and rested here for the day.
Li Changxiao looked at the three of them with sleepy eyes. After some conversation, he learned their names. The gorgeous young man is named Li Qi, the female slave is called Wu Qiu, and the male slave is called Yue Bai.
This trip to the north is to find the road to immortality. Li Changxiao told Li Qi that if you want to become an immortal, it is better to give up as soon as possible and beg for nothing, in the end it will only be a waste of half your life.
Li Changxiao weighed the silver coins in Li Qi's hand. It was quite heavy, and there was a smile on his face. He felt smug and secretly glad that the silver coins were not stolen when he usually slept. I was lucky this time. I could still get some money when I woke up, and I could save myself the time and effort spent on earning silver while traveling slowly.
Li Qi smiled when he heard this and shook his finger. The young man expressed his exquisite thoughts in short words, "This immortal is not that immortal, and this immortal is not that immortal."
Pretending to be mature, Wu Qiu covered his mouth and chuckled. Yue Bai was helpless, while Li Changxiao cast an interested look, wanting to hear what the young man had to say and who the immortal he sought was.
Li Qi said that what he sought was the path to immortality, not the path to immortality. He was of noble birth and knew more or less about it, but he just couldn't touch that level.
I will no longer foolishly seek longevity. There is still a way to seek longevity. It is not a problem to live to be one or two hundred years old. If you are more talented and lucky, you may be able to live to be three hundred years old. But since it was the road to longevity, why should he go north?
Therefore, the path to becoming an immortal that he seeks is to be a wandering immortal in the world of mortals...
After the long talk, Li Changxiao finally understood that Li Qi, who seemed to be quite well-educated, was actually going north to have fun. What kind of mortal fairy is just having fun. It's just that he said it nicely. If it were another person, he could be coaxed into being stunned. I really thought that this young man had lofty ambitions and had the ambition to become a saint.
In fact, he was not allowed to become an official, and he only sought relief by focusing on the mountains and rivers. Li Changxiao could easily see through the layers of disguise and packaging of the world's real wants and desires.
Why should he expose it? Drink wine with the young man and wish him to find the road to immortality.
Hearing that Li Changxiao also wanted to go north, Li Qi extended an invitation. He told Li Changxiao that if he went north along the way and walked more than ten miles north, he would reach a land covered with dense mountains. The road is dangerous for one thing, and there are so many monsters and strange beasts in the mountains that it’s hard to guard against them.
If you go with yourself and head to the west, you will see an alley after walking for about ten days. From the alley, you can get on a big boat and cross the ocean to reach the imperial court of Lingtian Prefecture.
The hardships on the road may be saved a lot, and with Li Qi's status, the boat he took must be of the highest specification, so even Li Changxiao can enjoy it, isn't it wonderful?
Li Changxiao agreed. It would be a big fool not to take advantage of it, but there was still a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. He asked casually whether the young man liked him or was kind-hearted and felt that he was pitiful sleeping on the roadside, so he helped him so much.
Li Qi replied that it had nothing to do with those things, just because the two looked alike. In the world, those who look so alike are brothers even if they are not related by blood.
Isn't it natural to invite brothers to enjoy happiness?
Wu Qiu on the side covered his mouth and chuckled, jokingly, "Sir, the master thinks you are too handsome and wants to make friends with you."
"He decides whether he is an enemy or a friend at first sight."
