Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 159: Taoists are just people who live their lives
After dinner, Li Si and the other two left Fengyu Tower. After all, if Jiang Shengming was already on his way to Qinghe County, then they should have rushed over as well.
They traveled almost without stopping until midnight, when they stopped at an open space in the suburbs. The confused Taoist was busy inside and outside, lighting a bonfire, laying out a mattress, and even cooking some hot soup to prevent the cold wind in the middle of the night.
Pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, it seemed like the bag on Zhuifeng's back had everything.
This deepened a doubt that Li Si had long had: whether it was Wudang Mountain or Qingcheng Sect, were the Taoists in these Taoist temples all so hardworking and skilled?
Even the lazy and confused Taoist priest can do these things so skillfully.
It's such a pity that they are warriors. If it were in their previous lives, they should have done housework.
When Li Si thought of these Taoists doing housework in aprons, he couldn't help but smile.
In fact, there is nothing the Taoists can do about it, because the whole mountain is filled with stinky men and there is not even a cook.
If you want to have enough food and clothes, you have to wash your own clothes and cook your own food. Therefore, in the Taoist sect, even the youngest child can handle the pot and the pan.
There is a saying that has always been circulating under the statue of the Three Pure Ones: "Ten years on the mountain, and you still cannot master the art of swordsmanship. Three years on the door, and you will be able to master it."
This statement is both self-deprecating and a practical reality. For the disciples of Taoism, eating is much more important than learning swordsmanship.
After finishing all the things, Hutu Taoist lay down with peace of mind, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The tiger girl was still sitting aside wiping her sword. Li Si glanced at her and said with a smile.
"Go to bed early, girl. I'll be on guard tonight."
The tiger girl was stunned for a moment and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But Li Si just waved his hand and said.
"I just can't use Qinggong. It's okay to sleep a little late. You've always been on guard all the way. Let me do it once in a while."
Seeing Li Si's insistence, Shu Hu Nu had no choice but to nod, put away her sword, and walked to another bed to lie down.
She seldom called Li Si, because she still didn't know how to call him. Calling him by his name seemed a little strange, and calling him too intimate seemed a little weird, so she always tried to avoid calling him Li Si.
It's very strange, isn't it? It's been ten years , but even such a simple thing has not been decided.
But there has always been a distance between the two of them, a distance that Shuhu Nu could not explain.
Lying behind Li Si, looking at Li Si's back facing the campfire and the occasional sparks, the tiger girl quietly closed her eyes.
In fact, it is not just the confused Taoist who has this feeling. Everyone who knows Li Si has had this feeling.
Li Si doesn't seem to be from this world.
Tang Zhong thought about this when he was drinking with Li Si. Because at that time, Li Si said that he had really been to Naihe Bridge, and the look in his eyes didn't seem fake or joking, but just like he was talking about what he saw with his own eyes.
Jiang Lian'er had thought the same thing when she saw Li Si leaving Changfeng Tower alone, because at that time Li Si looked distraught, as if he was trying to escape somewhere.
When he saw Li Si drunk, Dugu Bufu had the same thought, because at that time, Li Si kept talking nonsense that he couldn't understand. Until now, he still didn't understand what it meant.
But no one has ever really thought so, because they just regarded these as their own momentary misconceptions.
After all, Li Si is right in front of him, how could he not be a person from this world?
It’s just a pity that sometimes a momentary wrong thought is often closer to the truth than the result of careful thinking.
…
Bai Yaoer left Ji County and went to Guijiang Mountain to look for the whereabouts of the Pangenjiexu grass. Her father did not follow her because she did not know martial arts and it was inconvenient for her to enter the world of martial arts.
The people from the Eight Bitter Sect arrived in Qinghe County half a month later. They deployed their personnel and secretly inquired about the whereabouts of a woman. At the same time, Li Si and his two companions also arrived here one step later with light luggage.
Qinghe County is not a big county, so in order to avoid being noticed by the Demon Cult, they temporarily stayed in a small inn.
The confused Taoist sent a letter back to the mountain gate, stating in the letter that the matter of the Demon Cult was indeed true. He had now found traces of the Demon Cult in Qinghe County, and asked his fellow disciples in the sect to notify all the sects as soon as possible to be careful.
Li Si began to investigate what the Eight Bitter Sect was looking for, or rather, someone.
I have to say that this time the other party's actions were really big, so big that just by asking around , I found out that they were probably looking for a woman in red.
He is about 28 or 29 years old, has superb swordsmanship, and came here about a month ago.
Li Si was a little confused about this. At least among the people he knew, there was no such woman.
Secondly, he didn't know what was so special about this woman that made the Eight Bitterness Sect go to such great lengths, even exposing themselves to find her.
Twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old is not considered old in the martial arts world. For someone of such age to have such superb swordsmanship, he should not be without a little fame.
Li Si, for some reason, had never heard of such a person.
While the three were investigating the Eight Bitterness Sect, Jiang Shengming, who was inside the Sect, had also made plans to leave.
Because he had received news from the other side that the woman appeared in Yun County again.
In fact, they would not have received the news so quickly, but Yun County was not a simple place for them.
The Eight Bitter Sect had many people left in Yun County, so they were able to immediately find out the whereabouts of that woman.
The reason is very simple, because Yun County has been their hiding place for many years.
Jiang Shengming didn't know why the woman wanted to go to Yun County, but this was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
Because in Yun County, it is even less likely that the other party will escape.
Sitting in his room, Jiang Shengming played with the brocade box in his hand with an irrepressible smile on his face.
At this time, there was a knock on his door. A man in casual clothes came in, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, then bowed and retreated.
As the visitor left, the smile on Jiang Shengming's face faded a little, his hand holding the brocade box tightened slightly, and he muttered to himself.
"It seems that someone has caught up with us after all."
