Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 43: The rumors in this world are so accurate that it is unbelievable
After that night, Li Si and Bai Yaoer went down the mountain. Jinshan Temple was still empty. The mountain was empty, the temple was empty, and the sutras the monks were chanting were also empty.
After passing away, he still hides away from people and doesn't care about worldly affairs.
However, as the imperial court's wanted warrant was brewing, rumors about Li Si became more and more numerous in the martial arts world, and gossip about him was everywhere.
Some people say that even famous masters are no match for Li Si.
Some people say that no one can catch Li Si anymore.
Some people said that the emperor was so angry that he threw the pen and ink on the desk and cursed Yan Tingzhi.
Some people said that even Dugu Bufu was preparing to go down the mountain to attack Li Si.
Some people said that his friend in the palace told him that Princess Chang'an went to ask for an audience with the emperor.
Some people said that Li Si still knew the arrogant monk Yuan Yuan, who killed 24 famous people in the martial arts world. His sword was full of murderous aura, and he was feared by the martial arts world. All the major sects could not do anything to him. Now, he lives in seclusion in the Minjiang River area.
In short, there are people who talk about everything and ask about everything.
Some even said that Li Si's Qinggong was faster than the sound. Of course, most of the time no one believed this and just treated it as a joke.
Everyone knows that Li Si's Qinggong is fast, but to say that it is faster than sound is obviously an exaggeration .
But no matter what the people in the martial arts world said, Li Si still walked at his leisurely pace and made his way.
The petty thieves below the first-rate level no longer dared to look for him. The journey in spring was indeed much more leisurely for him.
Sometimes he would ride in a farmer's ox cart with Baiyaoer and pass through the fields; sometimes he would find a restaurant to get drunk and fall asleep; sometimes he would also stroll around the red-light district, making Baiyaoer chase after him with a red face.
However, Bai Yaoer seemed to know little about the things in this world. Everything was new to her. Occasionally, she would pass by a temple fair in a small town, which was enough for her to entertain herself for a whole day.
Li Si asked her why, and she said that she had lived in the mountains with her father since she was a child, and most of the time she would just wander around the nearby small villages and had never come out.
So, this was her first time traveling the world.
So Li Si asked her again, where is her home?
Bai Yaoer hesitated for a moment, pointed to the north and said, "It's in an unnamed hill next to Ji County."
Li Si from Ji County knew Bai Yaoer. He smiled and said that Bai Yaoer was very brave to walk such a long distance alone for the first time.
Bai Yaoer stopped talking, because if possible, she didn't want to walk so far.
As the days passed, Wudang Mountain was getting closer and closer.
One day, the two stopped in a wild field on the side of the road to rest.
Bai Yaoer was eating a candy figurine she had bought from a nearby town.
It was getting dark. Li Si lit a fire, looked back at the road behind him, and said.
"In three days, we will be able to reach Wudang Mountain. I know a Taoist priest there who will take care of you for a while. Oh, you know, that Taoist priest is quite funny. He is confused about this and that all day long, and he has never been clear-headed..."
Li Si was talking about his friend, but Bai Yaoer just sat aside, absentmindedly biting a corner of the sleeve of the candy man.
"Yeah." She responded to Li Si's words softly, staring at the flickering bonfire in front of her in a trance.
Then she looked at Li Si who was sitting by the fire, listened to him chattering, and smiled.
"Has anyone ever told you that you talk like an old mother?"
"Really?" Li Si paused and touched his chin: "There are indeed a few people who dislike my noise."
"Who is it?" Bai Yaoer asked casually .
"A few of my friends." Li Si smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing to mention.
"But you will be my friend from now on. If you ever encounter any trouble in the martial arts world again, you can mention my name."
"What's the use of your name?" Hearing Li Si's words, Bai Yaoer smiled and pouted, gently shaking the sugar man in her hand.
"I have never seen a gangster who is afraid of you."
This is true. Li Si's good temper is well-known far and wide.
" Why is it useless?" Li Si felt that he had to save face for himself: "If you want to find someone to steal something in the future, mention my name, and the brothers in the underworld can give you a 95% discount."
"Puchi." Bai Yao'er laughed out loud at Li Si's appearance: "95% off, that's too stingy."
"Why?" Li Si said without blushing or panting, "Half discount is not money."
"Yes, yes, I know you are great, okay."
Baiyaoer said perfunctorily while eating the candy man.
The evening passed in such chatting and laughing.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Si sat on a tree branch and Bai Yaoer lay by the fire.
Perhaps because he had nothing to do, Li Si asked with one leg hanging down.
"Come to think of it, why did you insist on arresting me before?"
This is something he has never figured out.
The last person who was so obsessed with catching him was an elderly middle-aged man.
The grudge between him and that guy is not so easy to explain.
By the fire, Bai Yaoer turned her back to Li Si and lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.
She didn't reply and seemed to be asleep.
But Li Si obviously could not be hidden from this. He could tell whether a person was asleep or not just by listening.
"Why, we've come so far together, and you still can't tell me?"
Li Si said helplessly, put his hands behind his head and lay on his back on the branch.
Under the tree, Bai Yaoer finally opened her eyes.
She looked at the shadow on the ground for a while and said.
"The 10,000 taels of gold I got from you is just enough for me to save one person."
Ten thousand taels of gold to save a person. Li Si on the tree raised his eyebrows. It was really a generous act.
"Who are you going to save?"
Bai Yaoer fell silent again. After a while, she replied softly, "My father."
Li Si was stunned and turned his head away.
"Why?"
"He was victimized for fortune-telling and has been in a coma ever since."
Bai Yaoer was lying on the ground and talking. The ground was icy cold and even the fire couldn't heat it up.
"I also heard that there was a Mr. Wan Jin who had extraordinary medical skills, so I found him and asked him to help treat my father. But he only helped my father keep alive, saying that this would allow my father to live for another four months, and I had to collect 10,000 taels of gold for him within these four months before he would help me save people."
"So I headed south, and by chance I heard that there was a 10,000 tael reward from the imperial court for capturing you, so I came here."
Bai Yaoer's words were simple, but anyone could guess that it was definitely not easy for a naive girl like her to walk all the way from the north to the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Si knew about Mr. Wan Jin. This man's medical skills were indeed very good, and there were even rumors that he could kill people with his medical skills.
However, every time he saved someone, he would ask for a large sum of medical fees in advance , so over time he was called Mr. Wan Jin.
So that's how it happened. Li Si nodded, indicating that he understood what happened.
Bai Yaoer stopped talking. She hugged her shoulders and curled up her body, as if she was going to take a rest.
The night became quiet again.
Ten thousand taels of gold?
As the bonfire burned, Li Si, lying on a tree branch, shook his head and closed his eyes.
He had an idea, but it was this idea that was causing him trouble.
