Chapter 4289 4291 [Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand]

Returning to the ruined temple where he lived, Xiang Nan put on the "Double Dragon Car" and took Xu Ziling on the road.

The so-called "Double Dragon Car" is actually a broken carriage, but it was called "Double Dragon Car" because it was used as a tiger skin to raise the banner.

When they settled in this village, they made a living by doing day jobs for others, such as plowing fields, fertilizing, watering, building walls, grinding mills, etc., just like Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q".

They don't want to make money, they just want a meal. Relying on their youth and strength, it is not a problem to support themselves. But now it was clear that they could no longer stay here, and they had no choice but to leave as soon as possible.

"Alas, we have changed villages three times in the past six months." Xu Ziling sighed, "Where should we go next, Mr. Zhong?"

"I heard that there is a Shilong Dojo in Yangzhou, and there is a Shilong Taoist priest there, whose martial arts is very impressive." Xiang Nan said, "Why don't we go learn from him?"

"They won't necessarily accept it if you go there." Xu Ziling shook his head.

"Hey, you may or may not accept it, but there is always a chance." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But if you don't go, there will be no chance at all."

"That's right." After hearing this, Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Yangzhou. Anyway, we are wandering around, and we have been used to being rejected by others when we were apprentices since we were young."

"Don't be so discouraged. I have a hunch that it will work this time." Xiang Nan smiled and said he urged the horse, "Drive~"

As soon as I left the ruined temple, I saw villagers standing at the entrance of the temple.

"Young Master Zhong, you see, the villagers are reluctant to leave us, so they must be here to comfort us." Xu Ziling said happily when he saw them.

"Open your blind eyes and take a closer look. Didn't you see that they all have clods of earth and stones in their hands?" Xiang Nan said, "Does it look like they are leaving us behind?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the villagers threw clods of earth and stones over.

"Oops~" In an instant, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling were hit several times.

Xiang Nan just responded, but Xu Ziling really couldn't bear it. He waved his hands to stop it and shouted, "Stop smashing it, please spare your life~"

Their horses also received a few blows and suddenly rushed forward like crazy. The villagers were so frightened that they did not care about hitting people and dodge in all directions. Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling also escaped.

…

The two immediately drove the carriage all the way to Yangzhou.

"Oh, I really can't help but go now." Xu Ziling sighed.

"Young Master Ling, don't be so discouraged." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "Have you never heard of that saying, the so-called 'actions bring one third of wealth'? What can you do if you stay in this village? The world is vast, and there is a lot to accomplish. I always believe that you and I are not ordinary people, and we will definitely achieve great things."

"Master Zhong, I really admire you. You are always so optimistic." Xu Ziling couldn't help but admire him when he heard what he said.

"The most important thing in life is to be happy." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Hey, look, when Cao Cao arrived, he just said there was a treasure to pick up, and he picked it up immediately."

Xiang Nan suddenly jumped off the carriage and got into the woods beside the road.

"Hey, Mr. Zhong, where are you going? Come back quickly. I can't see the road clearly without you driving." Xu Ziling shouted quickly.

It turns out that when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were wandering, they mistakenly believed in the advice of a so-called hero, saying that the most important thing in practicing martial arts is to practice your eyesight. And if you want to practice your eyesight, you have to look at the sun.

As a result, Xu Ziling believed it and really stared at the sun. His eyes were burned by the sun's rays. Now he is almost half-blind and everything he sees is blurry.

Without Xiang Nan to lead him, it would be really difficult for him to move forward.

"Stop shouting, I'm back, I'm back." Xiang Nan said, carrying a big fat rabbit back to the car, "Look, I just caught it. How about it, I can have a good meal tonight ”

"Wow, you are really good at it. What a fat rabbit~" Xu Ziling was very happy when he saw it.

…

In the evening, Xiang Nan stopped the car and prepared to rest on the spot.

He bled the rabbit, skinned it, removed its internal organs, and then roasted it over the fire. With his skill, even if he only seasoned it with simple salt, the taste was quite good. At least Xu Ziling ate it so much that he almost swallowed it with his tongue.

"Wow, Mr. Zhong, when did you become so good at cooking? It's really delicious." Xu Ziling praised while eating.

"What's better, we haven't eaten meat for a long time, that's why you think it tastes good." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling made a living by doing part-time labor, and the most they ate were coarse grains such as sorghum, millet, and black beans. There were often times when they couldn't even find work or had enough to eat.

"No, I really think it tastes good." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said. Although he was really hungry and had not eaten meat for a long time, this roast rabbit was really delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, moderately salty and really delicious.

"If it's delicious, just eat more." Xiang Nan smiled and handed a roasted rabbit leg to Xu Ziling's hand.

After eating, the two of them rested in the car.

"I hope that after arriving in Yangzhou, Taoist Master Shilong will accept us as his disciples." Xiang Nan said to Xu Ziling.

"Why, do you really want to become his teacher?" Xu Ziling asked curiously after hearing this.

"I heard that if you practice martial arts well, your eyes will be smarter. If your eyes can be cured, I will kowtow to Taoist Master Shilong and call him daddy," Xiang Nan said.

"Young Master Zhong~" Xu Ziling was very moved when he heard what he said.

"It's all my fault. I misunderstood a bastard's words and made you look at the sun to practice your eyesight. As a result, your eyesight was damaged." Xiang Nan said again.

"Don't blame yourself, Master Zhong, it's just my stupidity. My eyesight is not good, but I still practiced stupidly..." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "You are smart, you stopped practicing after two days."

"I didn't practice because I was lazy. The daytime is so dazzling that I would faint if I looked at it for one more time. It's you who have the endurance to stand it." Xiang Nan explained.

"There is gain and loss." Xu Ziling comforted himself, "Although my eyesight is much worse, my ears are better than yours. If there is gold falling on the ground, I promise I can pick it up faster than you."

"That's right, go to sleep, we still have to travel tomorrow." Xiang Nan laughed.

Xu Ziling nodded and fell asleep soon.

...

After Xiang Nan waited for him to fall asleep, he jumped out of the car and cast a daydream spell on Xu Ziling first, so that he could have a good dream.

Then he cast Muggle shielding spells and peace guarding spells around him to prevent thieves and wild animals from attacking at night.

After finishing his work, he took out his flying sword and rushed all the way to Yangzhou.

He wanted to steal the "Eternal Life Secret" first.

Because in the TV series "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", the process of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling getting the "Eternal Life Secret" was very coincidental.

When they went to the Shilong Dojo, they accidentally encountered Fu Jun'er fighting with Shilong. Just when they were both injured, Yu Wenzhi came to rob again.

Therefore, in order to get rid of Yu Wenzhi, Fu Jun'er hid the "Eternal Life Secret" in Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's carriage, and that's why they got the "Eternal Life Secret".

It can be said that if there was any mistake in the middle, the "Eternal Life Secret" would not have been in their hands.

Xiang Nan naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he decided to strike first.
