Chapter 698: Encounter on the Road
The story of Qing Yu Nian's world is already a little vague to Amber. He only vaguely remembers that this is a world that has been bombed by nuclear bombs. The so-called temple is actually a ruin, and the blindfolded man next to the protagonist is a super smart robot.
Of course, it didn't matter much to him.
It doesn’t matter what the world is, as long as it doesn’t affect you.
Amber currently has three abilities: invincible physical strength, control of thunder, and infinite energy.
Simple and crude.
This was something he specifically chose when fusing his power.
Coupled with the ability to control cells at the cellular level, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as you want to live, you can live forever.
Under this premise, many things are not that important, and you can enjoy the trivial things in life with peace of mind.
Back to business.
After the trip to the ruined temple, the master and apprentice traveled for nearly two months, passing through several important towns along the way and experiencing the prosperity of the world.
However, the money in my pocket is limited, so most of the time I can only eat dry food to satisfy my hunger. Only when I am really greedy, I will eat something good.
"This official road leads directly to the capital. It is said that it is an ancient road from the previous dynasty. After being renovated by the current emperor, it can deliver messages in the shortest time."
The old Taoist priest sat on a big rock beside the road, took off his cloud socks and rubbed his feet vigorously with his hands, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
If that's all, that's it. What's even more outrageous is that after rubbing it, he still puts it under his nose and smells it.
"Why are you standing so far away?"
After hearing no answer for a long time, he impatiently said to Amber, who was standing more than ten steps away, "My feet don't stink. If you don't believe me, come here and have a smell."
"Come on, I just ate something and I don't want to spit it out."
Amber shook her head repeatedly, not only did she not get closer, but she took a few steps further away.
I had never found it on the mountain before. After coming down the mountain this time, because many things were inconvenient, I seldom cleaned it, and then it became like this.
Those feet not only stink, they also stink your eyes.
"Little brat."
The old Taoist priest cursed, put on his socks, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go."
"After you."
Amber wanted to wait until the smell dissipated before following her.
The old Taoist priest was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned around to continue on his way, when he saw a carriage coming from far away. The speed was originally very fast, but when it got closer, it slowed down a lot.
There is a situation!
He narrowed his eyes slightly. As a veteran, he believed in his intuition very much. After signaling Amber not to speak with his eyes, he stood there and waited.
As the carriage got closer and closer, the coachman's hand holding the reins gradually tightened until it stopped just in front of the old Taoist priest.
"This Taoist master, boy Fan Xian, is so polite."
The car curtain was opened, and an unusually handsome young man poked his head out.
The old Taoist priest glanced at him, and then kept staring at the red-armored knight sitting side by side with the groom.
This is where the danger comes from.
"Why doesn't Master Dao speak?"
Fan Xian acted very familiar, "Actually, I have always admired Taoist things. I just encountered some problems recently. Could you please give me some advice?"
"You and I have no chance."
The old Taoist priest refused directly.
It must be a big trouble to be escorted by such a person, but he hates trouble very much.
Amber also came over at this time. Looking at the characters he had only seen in books before, he felt an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart.
"rude!"
Before Fan Xian could speak, the red-armored knight was already angry. Fan Xian was about to stop him, but was shocked to find that the knight sat back down again, staring straight ahead, as if he had lost his soul.
The old Taoist priest was startled. He was already ready to take action, but he didn't expect that there would be thunder but no rain, and he suddenly became even more impatient.
"Walk!"
"oh."
Amber slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around and followed, slowly walking forward along the official road.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared completely that the red-armored knight, who seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, let out a sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his face was like a waterfall, constantly flowing down.
Fan Xian looked at it strangely and asked with a hint of schadenfreude: "Are you scared?"
"Those two people"
As a personal guard of Emperor Qing, there is no weak person who can wear this red armor, and his mind is first-class firm. But just now after he uttered those two words, he felt like he was facing the power of God.
My own sense of insignificance was infinitely magnified, so much so that even my thinking was frozen.
"Is he an expert?"
The corners of Fan Xian's mouth turned up slightly.
In fact, he was just idle and bored and wanted to find someone to chat with. Especially after meeting his master Fei Jie, the sense of urgency became even stronger.
"Seeing as they are also going to the capital, we will probably run into them again later."
It's so interesting to get to know experts and stuff.
the other side.
The old Taoist priest, who had always had a sullen face, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the carriage was not coming.
"Shou Xin, that kid just now is either rich or noble. Do you know why I rejected them?"
"Why?"
Amber said appropriately.
After following the old Taoist for so long, I have become more and more skilled in Peng Ke.
"Humph, to put it crudely, big feet wear big shoes. Many times, things that seem like opportunities often hide fatal dangers."
The old Taoist priest said in the tone of an experienced person: "You have some skills now, but you need to know that there are always people better than you. Don't think that you can look down on everyone just because you know something. That will only make you lose your life."
Similar scenes have happened many times. Whenever he encounters something that he feels he can pass on his experience, the old Taoist priest will talk for a long time, breaking up his life experience and feeding it to Amber.
It is said that parents in the world are pitiful. He is really worried that his apprentice who grew up in the mountains will be deceived after his death.
"If you can't beat me, you can run away."
Amber smiled; "But don't worry, I won't be that stupid."
"Stupidity is not terrible, what is terrible is thinking that you are smart."
The old Taoist priest said bluntly.
"Master is right. People like me who are talented don't have to worry about this."
Amber said deliberately.
The corners of the old Taoist priest's mouth twitched. In the end, he was too lazy to say anything. He took off the smelly shoes on his feet that were comparable to biological weapons and beat him.
"Don't run! Stop for me!"
"You'd be a fool if you didn't run!"
Amber laughed and ran ahead at a speed that would not leave the others behind, but would not be caught up.
This was the daily routine of the master and apprentice, and it happened many times along the way.
No matter how long the journey is, there will be a day to finish it.
Another half a month passed, and the capital of Qing finally appeared.
The towering city gates and the long stream of people all showed the confidence of Qing as the strongest country in the world.
Population, economy, and army.
Although Qi, which is further north, has a very strong cultural heritage, it is weak. Facing real swords and guns, it can only retreat again and again.
"Master, where does your old friend live?"
"You'll know when you get there. Let's find an inn to stay in first."
