Knife splashing

Chapter 14: The Road to the World

Sharifei's heart skipped a beat. "What's the matter?"

He knew better than anyone that the boy in front of him was not a good person.

When I first came here a few years ago, I thought, how much trouble can a lame old man and a half-grown child cause?
Being able to come and say something is giving them face.

No one will say anything if the news gets out.

So that time, he was careless and noisy.

Not only was he impolite, but he was also shouting and yelling. Relying on his status as a senior, he asked Li Yan to prepare wine and food for him, hoping to have a free meal.

Li Yan was still young at that time, but he was not someone who would suffer any loss.

Wine and food were prepared, and they were quite plentiful, but some croton powder was added, and the dosage was controlled so that he would not have diarrhea until he left the village and set off on his journey.

Sharifei was very angry at that time.

But since he was still with the wheat pickers, and stealing food from Longkou was no joke, he had to keep moving forward, thinking of teaching this guy a lesson when he visited him next year.

I didn't have any murderous intention.

He has plenty of ways to deal with a young boy.

For example, under the pretext of a martial arts competition, he would give the man a good beating.

But he didn't expect that Li Yan, with the help of the power of the substitute statue, practiced martial arts like a madman and had made some progress the following year.

Although I am still a little bit in experience, it is not that easy to deal with.

Since then, Sharifei has become much more polite.

Now that he was suddenly stopped, was he trying to cause trouble or take back the position of wheat harvester leader?

Thinking of this, Sharifei smiled but was secretly alert in his heart.

These wolf cubs who have just entered the underworld are the most cruel and unscrupulous. They dare to do anything to become famous.

Don't make a mistake here today...

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Li Yan asked, "I heard that Uncle Sha has connections with people from the Xuan Sect. Can you introduce them to me?"

Sharifei was stunned, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he became curious and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?"

"Is it a bump into someone or bad feng shui?"

Li Yan did not give a direct answer. "Nothing, just curious. Uncle Sha, tell me the truth, do you have this way?"

"That must be there!"

Sharifi immediately patted his chest and laughed, "Why don't you go and ask? I'm Sharifi, and I have friends all over the world."

"There is nothing that cannot be resolved on this Guanzhong Road!"

Seeing Li Yan's expressionless face, he glared and said, "Why, you still don't believe me. I actually know someone from Xuanmen."

"He is a Taoist priest from Huoju. He is good at Qimen Dunjia, fortune telling, feng shui of graves and houses, and catching ghosts and demons. He is proficient in everything. All the rich families in Chang'an City are vying to invite him..."

Sarifei was talking with great enthusiasm, but the more Li Yan listened, the less credible he seemed.

Although he was an outsider, he had some understanding of folk customs in his previous life.

Just for the Yishu school, there are Bazi, Liu Yao, Plum Blossom Yishu, Liu Ren, Qi Men Dun Jia, Tai Yi Shen Shu, Zi Wei Dou Shu... and many other schools.

Learning a subject requires a lot of energy.

Those who lack talent cannot even enter the door.

Not to mention catching ghosts and demons, it sounds like a big liar.

Sharifei didn't know, and continued to brag, "That person's name is Wang Daoxuan. I heard that he has a connection with the Taixuan Orthodox Church in Chang'an City. He also wrote a list of disasters for people in Xianyang..."

When Li Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Taixuan Orthodox Sect is the true and authentic Xuanmen.

There is also the qualification to put people on the disaster list, but not everyone is qualified.

The Yangbang is a funeral document that records the deceased's date of birth and death, specific date of cremation and funeral, etc.

Only after the disaster notice was issued did the government allow burial.

Du Daya once said that those who were listed on the disaster prevention list were basically people from the Xuanmen sect.

According to Li Yan's guess, the person who criticized the emperor for his misfortunes also served as the coroner.

For those whose life or death is unknown or who have taken poison, the Yin-Yang master has the right not to predict the fate and to report to the authorities, even for those corpses that may be "problematic".

No matter what, Wang Daoxuan should be an expert.

At worst, you can also ask how to enter the Taixuan Orthodox Sect to practice.

Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled and spoke more politely, "Thank you very much, Uncle Sha. I will definitely thank you later."

"Easy to say!"

Sharifei laughed, then shook his head and said, "But this matter is also troublesome. You need to accompany me. It's just in time for you to follow the team tomorrow."

Li Yan frowned slightly, "Why is this?"

Sharifei said with a click of his tongue: "That Taoist priest Wang is very busy. He has to follow the rules and etiquette in everything. You can't let him come to see you."

"It just so happens that we are going to Xianyang, so I'll help you with your business while we're there!"

"Oh."

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

This Sha Lifei speaks a mixture of truth and lies and likes to brag, but he can also tell that he probably just knows Wang Daoxuan and they are not very close.

No matter what, it is at least a way out, and maybe you will gain something after meeting each other.

Entering the Xuanmen is urgent.

He has opened up the six yang senses, so if he is targeted by something again, there is no shaman to help him avoid the evil.

Xianyang is neither far nor near, and you can get back in five or six days.

Ask a neighbor to look after grandpa, it doesn’t hurt to go there.

Seeing that he agreed, Sharifei's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's settled. Let's set off tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Watching the other person leave, Li Yan shook his head slightly, turned back to the house, and packed his bags for tomorrow's trip. ………

The next day, before dawn, the sound of horse hooves approached the door.

"Brother Yan, let's go!"

Sharifei's loud voice also sounded.

Li Yan was already prepared.

It was close to the Grain in Ear season and the weather was hot, so he only wore a black cloth shorts, a straw hat to protect himself from the sun, a backpack on his back, and a Guanshan knife slung across his waist.

He came to Grandpa Li Gui's house, knocked on the door and said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving."

However, no one in the house answered.

Li Yan felt helpless when he saw this.

He mentioned this yesterday, and of course grandpa didn't agree.

Unfortunately, since it concerns future life and death, I have to make this trip.

Just as he was about to turn around, an old voice came from inside the house, "The world is dangerous, be careful when encountering things."

"Hey!"

Li Yan suddenly felt happy and strode away.

squeak~
As soon as he left, Grandpa Li Gui pushed open the door, looked at the boy's receding back, sighed softly, and inexplicably thought of Li Hu of the past.

"Father, what is Jianghu?"

"Jianghu?"

"Out of this house, it's the Jianghu..."

…………

Li Yan once thought that after living two lives, nothing could excite him anymore.

After all, he was used to the bright lights, feasting and nightlife and the majestic sights of his previous life. Even the most prosperous capital city in this world was nothing more than ancient in his eyes.

However, the moment he walked out of the mountain village, he found that he was wrong.

The shadow of Lijiabao gradually disappeared, and the loess gullies, golden wheat fields, green mountains and forests, blue sky and white clouds...the majesty of the Guanzhong land suddenly came into view.

This is an unpolluted world.

Everything in the world seems exceptionally clear.

Coupled with the unknown mystery, Li Yan felt in a trance that he had turned back into the boy he once was, full of curiosity and yearning for the outside world.

"Brother Yan, why are you leaving too?"

Heidan came over and interrupted his thoughts.

The black boy was equally excited.

Unlike Li Yan, this was the first time he had traveled so far, except for going to the temple fair in Lantian County. He was not as calm as usual and kept talking all the way.

"Xianyang, I heard it's quite far away..."

"I wonder if I can see Chang'an City on the way..."

Of course, he soon felt the difficulty of the journey.

They walked on the official road. The sun was scorching, and there seemed to be dust rolling on the dirt road. The golden wheat fields on both sides were surging like waves in the hot summer breeze.

In addition, the black coarse cloth clothes absorbed heat, and it felt like being roasted on fire under the scorching sun. Soon his face turned red and sweat dripped down.

Sharifei gathered wheat pickers from several villages around Lijiabao, about fifty people, all carrying bags and with sickles and grindstones on their waists.

When he left, his clothes were still neat.

At this moment, most of them had opened their clothes, and some even took off their shirts, bare-chested, revealing their bronze skin in the sun.

Although Sharifei was riding a horse, he was still very hot.

He took off the water bottle from his waist from time to time and glanced at Li Yan secretly.

Unfortunately, Li Yan just continued on his way in silence, occasionally looking at the surrounding scenery.

The group set out early in the morning and walked until noon without stopping.

At this time, Heidan was already sweating profusely, his eyes were black, his soles were sore, his ankles were weak, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton.
Li Yan was also sweating all over, but his expression was calm.

After all, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his leg strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Finally, Sharifei looked at the sky and saw that it was noon, so he said, "Let's find a place to rest and avoid the scorching sun before we go."

They still had to travel for two days.

Walking in the middle of the day consumes more energy, and there are many elderly people in the team, so it is better to save some energy and walk a little further in the evening when it is cooler.

As for staying in an inn, Sharifei didn't even think about it.

Even if he was willing, these poor guys wouldn't be willing to pay.

The place to rest is easy to find. Not far from the official road ahead, there are several large locust trees, with shade all over the ground, enough for people to lie down.

Hearing Sharifei's order, everyone hurried forward, found a place to stay, took out hard multi-grain steamed bread, and swallowed it with cold water.

Li Yan also sat down with his back against a tree and ate some dry food.

He has a strong mind and only treats this short distance as a way to train his leg strength.

When I come back, I can go to the Xianyang Mule and Horse Market and see if I can buy a good horse with the money I have.

Da da da……

Just as he was lost in thought, a series of horse hoofbeats sounded in the distance.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, looked up, and immediately became alert.

There were more than twenty people coming, all riding fast horses, wearing conical hats, some carrying long swords, and some carrying short swords. They were obviously people from the underworld.

Suddenly, Li Yan's expression changed slightly and he held down the hilt of the knife.

He smelled the scent of blood from these people...
