Chapter 86
Chapter 86 Encounter
On the official road after midday, a young man was walking along the official road. While walking, holding a book, he quickly turned the pages of the book, not as if he was reading, but as if he were in a book. What to look for in the mezzanine.
“Sure enough, you shouldn’t expect this kind of easy adventure. If there are really recorded spells in this book, I am afraid that someone would have discovered it a long time ago, and it will be my turn. Alas, in the future, this kind of money-losing business will still be done less frequently. Come on!” Zou Heng tucked the book he was holding back into his waist bag, then sighed in his heart, shaking his head.
After he left the capital, he walked all the way to the north, following the direction when he came. He didn’t know where he was going for the time being, so he just walked along the road when he came, thinking about it as he was going to see where he was going. .
It’s been almost a month since this walk. Zou Heng is still walking in the original direction, but he is not in a hurry, so the speed on the road is not fast. Did not go too far.
Because Zou Heng didn’t have much money left when he left the capital, so when he stopped along the way, in addition to inquiring about the places he passed by, and whether there were any interesting things happening during this period, he would also pass by. When you see someone invite a warlock, you can easily make yourself a little entanglement.
No matter what you are doing, money is a must. Zou Heng wants to walk around, but he doesn’t want to have to eat and sleep on the road by himself. He has to be in rags, so money is really needed. People can’t be too much. Treat yourself badly.
However, what makes Zou Heng a little helpless is that all the work he earns along the way is basically the work of dealing with people’s troubles and dispelling grievances. He sometimes hears that there are evils and strange things, but he has no turn. He has to deal with it, and it is not his turn for someone to pay him to deal with a good thing.
Those local warlocks basically took care of all these tasks. When he arrived, the matter would have been resolved long ago. If the ones that cannot be resolved, Zou Heng himself dare not touch them now, because they are all more powerful things. Er, one inadvertently, maybe just play with himself.
On the way to help people deal with some things, Zou Heng made some small money, but the business that he just did was obviously a loss, because he got paid, except for a good meal, which was in his hands. Of this book.
The family heard that there had been sorcerers in the house before, and this book was left behind by the other party, possibly recording the sorcerers’ spells, so they took things as rewards.
In fact, Zou Heng didn’t expect too much from such an ordinary book to get any magic tricks, but the family’s life is indeed ordinary now, and he also admitted this loss-making business.
After putting the book away, Zou Heng’s pace accelerated a bit, and at the same time he continued to consider whether he would move forward next.
This road is the road traveled when protecting King Ren. If the original road returns, the final destination will be Yecheng, and then all the way to Qi State.
There is nothing wrong with arriving from Yu Kingdom to Qi, but Qi has always been unfriendly to the people from Yu Kingdom. His current cultivation level, if he goes to Qi, I’m afraid it’s not that easy to mix up, so this is not the same. Good choice.
Zou Heng didn’t care much about leaving Yu Kingdom. On the contrary, he wanted to visit other countries, appreciate the customs of other countries, and communicate with the warlocks there.
If the local customs, systems, etc. are different, there will be cultural differences, and the magic techniques derived from this should also have unique characteristics.
“It seems we have to change direction again!” Zou Heng thought in his heart.
The country of Yu is bordered by Qi country to the north and sea area to the south. It borders two small countries to the east. It is a good place to go. I heard that among those small countries, there are some more powerful warlocks and witchcraft inherited from ancient times.
To the west of Yu Kingdom, there are also a few small countries established by warlocks. It is actually a good place. It is said that although the population there is not large, but the life is very prosperous. Moreover, the domestic people have more convenient food, clothing, shelter and transportation than Yu Kingdom, and Yu Kingdom is also Trade interoperable.
Zou Heng has actually been thinking during this period of time, if he changes lanes, whether he wants to go east or west is something he has not decided yet.
But as he gets further and further away from the king’s capital, this matter should be decided as soon as possible, otherwise, if he keeps on going like this, he will really go back to Yecheng.
As Zou Heng was thinking while walking, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a cloud of smoke and dust on the road ahead, and there were faintly dense footsteps, approaching from far away.
Seeing this scene, Zou Heng stopped subconsciously, and then stood on guard. His previous experience of escorting Nioh made him feel like someone had attacked him, and he was more prepared.
The puff of smoke came very fast, and Zou Heng stood there and took a few breaths before the puff of smoke arrived in front of him.
Zou Heng could see clearly at this time. In front of the smoke and dust, there are clearly two people running fast. Between the two people running, their legs are almost invisible, which is because they are so. A fast speed will raise a puff of smoke behind him.
Seeing this, Zou Heng hurried to give way. The two men are obviously also warlocks. Since they are in a hurry, don’t block the official road. It’s better to make way for them.
However, Zou Xuan dodged aside for a while. This action seemed to be a bit unexpected for the two of them, because the two men were also preparing to dodge Zou Heng.
The two are fast, and Zou Heng is also very quick to dodge. The result is that after both sides have made dodge actions, they find that each other has dodged, and then they choose to turn back, and then they find that they may collide with each other. , Those two fast-running people can only choose to flash farther aside.
Zou Heng only felt two gusts of wind blowing by his side, and the smoke and dust in the sky caused him to block his eyes with his hands, and then two painful wailings could be heard in his ears.
“Oh, it hurts!”
“Ah, my arm!”
Zou Heng turned his head and saw that among the grass beside the official road, the two people who had run wild just now had fallen into the grass, their postures were still very embarrassed.
One of them was head down and feet up, and the other was lying down on his stomach, with one arm resting on a branch on the side, and the posture looked a little funny.
“Two mages, are you okay?” Zou Heng hurriedly asked aloud looking at the funny gestures of the two men.
Since the two of them saw his evasive action just now, Zou Heng felt that the two of them should not be villains. After all, in order to avoid him, they both let themselves fall aside. If they were really the kind of people who only cared about themselves, they would now I won’t fall so embarrassed.
And hearing Zou Heng’s words, the two people almost replied in unison: “There is something, of course we have something!”
After eating, the two of them wailed again at the same time, and then one of them said: “Smelly boy, we are both to avoid you, you are still watching, don’t come over and help us!”
“Oh!” Hearing this, Zou Heng immediately walked forward, helped the two of them up, and sent them to the side of the road to sit down, and at the same time looked at the two of them carefully.
These two people didn’t have the warlock’s satchel, but the clothes they were wearing had a few pockets on the outside, so they were able to hold things.
Both of them are in their 30s and 40s, and neither looks good. One looks simpler, just like a farmer who works all the year round, and the other looks a little cunning just by looking at his appearance. The first impression left by people will never be very good.
When Zou Heng was looking at the two people in front of him, they were also looking at him at the same time. They saw him dressed as a warlock. He was not very old, but he was tall and strong, and he was taller than the two of them. Circle, the two were also slightly surprised.
“I knew that your kid was a warlock, and he was still so strong. I didn’t hide it just now. I just knocked you out. Anyway, looking at you, a strong body, it’s probably fine to be knocked out. Where Like me, whoops, my arms!” said the cunning-looking man.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at the people around him, and complained to him: “I blame you, I have to occupy my way. This official road is so wide that it is not enough for you to walk. I will walk fast. Some, you have to push up, I want to avoid you, you still can’t get rid of it like a plaster, let’s go now, I wrestled on the official road, but fortunately there are not many people around!”
The relatively simple-looking person’s face sank when he heard the words, “You will bite back. Obviously I am walking in the front. You have to chase me behind. At this time, I blamed me. Isn’t it good to go aside, you have to get up!”
As they quarreled, they seemed to be angry, and they stood up from the side of the road, accusing each other.
Zou Heng saw the appearance of the two of them, and knew that the injuries on their bodies were nothing serious. I am afraid it was just a little skin trauma. Forbearance, take a little more time, this skin trauma will pass, and it’s not a big deal.
It was already the afternoon, and there was still some way to go before he reached a place where there was a human population. Zou Heng wanted to enter a small city ahead and settle down before closing the city gate in dark, so he didn’t plan to delay any longer.
“Two mages, since you are not in any serious trouble, then I will leave. It’s not early. The two seem to be in a hurry, so let’s hurry up!” Zou Heng said to the two.
As soon as his words fell, the two people who were arguing suddenly turned their heads and looked at him. Then they looked at each other tacitly. The cunning man smiled at Zou Heng. Said.
“This little brother, you look like a warlock. You should have just got the news. I want to join in the fun. Seeing that both of us were injured just now because of you. Or you can take care of us and take us. Let’s walk together!”
