Chapter 506: Little Devil Carrying a Sedan Chair and the Heaven-Measured Boots
"This guy..."
Hu Ma didn't expect Di Gua Shao to be so sharp-eyed and greet him openly. He felt a little helpless. The reason why he waited for Di Gua Shao and left at about the same time was because he was worried that she was unreliable and delayed his efforts.
But since they were reincarnated, even if they knew each other, it was best to have less dealings. At most, they would just nod and then go about their own business.
As for her, she really didn't care about this at all. Instead, she shouted excitedly, waving the willow whip in her hand high, and said with a smile: "Run quickly, run quickly, get ahead of him!"
The little ghosts carrying the sedan chair around her cried and shouted: "Grandma, run fast enough..."
"I was beaten by grandma yesterday, and my waist still hurts today, so I can't run..."
"..."
When Di Gu Shao heard this, he immediately stared, grabbed a handful of paper money, and threw it out high, saying: "Yesterday I said you should listen to me, there are many benefits..."
"Grandma, I have a willow whip in my left hand and a handful of money in my right hand. Which one do you want? Just tell me..."
As she spoke, the paper money fell on both sides of the sedan chair, covering the heads of many little ghosts.
These little ghosts were bruised and depressed, but after being hit by paper money, they suddenly became energetic, and even their eyes lit up. A group of short legs were running fast, shouting at the top of their voices: "It doesn't hurt..."
"Grandma is willing to give money, which is much better than the boss in front. Besides, grandma is light, so we can run faster than anyone else without grandma whipping us with the willow whip!"
"..."
As she spoke, the cold wind around her whistled, and it was getting faster and faster, and it was almost leaving Hu Ma far behind.
"Haha, childish!"
Hu Ma looked at it from behind and found it funny: "Are you trying to compete with me?"
As a descendant of the Hu family, the master who does not eat cattle, of course he would not do such a childish thing...
...As he thought, he quickened his pace, as if there was wind under his feet, and caught up in an instant, even leaving Di Ma Shao sitting on the sedan behind.
It was not to compete with Digua Shao, but to see which one was faster, his sky-measuring boots or the little ghosts carrying the sedan chair.
In fact, he had competed with the second son of the Meng family once before, but that time, when the second son of the Meng family got on the sedan chair, the little ghosts had been beaten and injured, so they could not run so fast. Now is the time to see the level of their skills.
"As expected of a senior, this method of rushing is so clever..."
Digua Shao watched from behind and was also deeply impressed, and then he threw out a lot of paper money, urging the little ghosts carrying the sedan chair to chase behind him quickly.
"Did this little girl ask for this method of little ghosts carrying the sedan chair last night?"
Hu Ma noticed that Digua Shao was running fast, and felt a little puzzled: "It's only been one day, and he ran so fast?"
He relaxed his vigilance slightly, took a closer look, and found the clues with his eyesight after entering the mansion.
Good man, those handfuls of paper money, are they all magical?
Earlier, in order to put on a complete show, he was hit on the head by the paper money of Sweet Potato Burning, and he bought a lot of Taoism at once.
Taoism is vitality, which is closely related to life and death, so for ordinary people, this paper money is buying life.
And now, the paper money she sprinkled out handfuls of it was actually the paper money that bought life.
This paper money was sprinkled out to buy the lives of living people, but it was given to these little ghosts as a reward. I don’t know how generous it is. Which good family can waste it like this?
No wonder these little ghosts carrying Sweet Potato Burning, who obviously looked bruised and swollen and suffered a lot, are so excited to carry her now. If I am not careful, she will catch up.
How to say it, this is almost like driving the little ghosts with handfuls of blood food.
Sighing in my heart, I speeded up a little, and the speed rose again, and soon left Sweet Potato Burn behind.
After this competition, I have a certain understanding of this secret technique. In this world, people travel by foot. Even those who are rich rely on mules and horses. People in the sect have their own secret techniques, but they also consume different things.
Di Gu Shao's method of traveling relies on paper money that has bought human lives, while I borrowed the Measure Heaven Boots to travel, but I am constantly consuming my own skills.
Before, I borrowed the ability of the Measure Heaven Boots to chase the second son of the Meng family. Because I only traveled a short distance, I didn't notice it. Now I find that the consumption of Taoism is still quite fast, no less than the time of an incense stick, which is equivalent to the consumption of performing a unique skill.
But if we talk about it, the most powerful way to travel seems to be to borrow the road to the underworld?
That method is the most mysterious and powerful, but I don't understand it very well. I will ask Erguotou for advice later.
In this world, all the skills involving the underworld are mysterious and strange, which cannot be imagined by outsiders.
Especially in the way of keeping watch on the New Year, there is no involvement at all.
Today, Hu Ma knows that there is a "Yinfu", but he can't even explain what it is. A long time ago, he heard from the ghost walker that the gates of hell in this world are closed, so there are so many strange evil spirits lingering in the world.
But in fact, there are guides in the underworld like Xiang Yatou, who can lead the living souls in the world to the black gate, and there are also borrowing soldiers from the underworld.
There is even the existence of the underworld mentioned by Di Gu Shao, which can record people's sins...
… I can only say that it is a strange and huge world. Now I am not prepared and still dare not understand it in depth.
Thinking in my heart, while getting familiar with the unique skills and abilities of the mansion level, I also headed towards Mingzhou.
I chased Di Gua Shao and chased each other, but in one night, I drove more than 200 miles.
It was not until the sound of chickens came from the village on the side of the road that I slowed down and went to the sides of the official road to find a place to rest.
From the blood food mine to my own farm, it would take eight or nine days to ride a mule or horse. Even if I spared no effort and rushed like Di Gua Shao before, I would have to run day and night for more than three days.
But now I have borrowed the sky boots, and I think running for two nights is enough.
But now I stopped to calculate, and I also found that this kind of borrowing method to rush on the road really consumes a lot of Taoism. If I rush on the road with all my strength, relying only on these three pillars of Taoism, I am afraid that I will have to stop and rest every two hours.
Compared with Digua Shao, the advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious.
In the short distance, he is much better than Digua Shao and can leave her behind at any time, but in terms of long-distance travel, he seems to be inferior to her.
However, her handfuls of paper money consumed her usual accumulation, so it is not as easy and labor-saving as borrowing the sky-length boots to travel.
Now that it is already light, he just wants to find a place to take a nap and replenish some physical strength, so he did not enter the village, but found a temple, rested, ate a few mouthfuls of green food, and drew some spring water from the stream next to him to fill his stomach.
Using the sky-length boots to travel, you can also perform magic during the day, but it is easy to shock the world, and the Taoism will be consumed too quickly if you do it day and night.
This is better than Digua Shao. Her method of the little ghost carrying the sedan chair can only be used at night.
After a day's rest, when dusk fell and night fell, Hu Ma came to the official road again, cast a spell again, and strode straight to the territory of Mingzhou. Now he was more skilled, but much faster than the night before.
In the second half of the night, he had already entered the territory of Mingzhou, so he slowed down and waited until the morning mist surged and the sky was bright, and then he even returned the measuring boots.
It is estimated that this place is only 20 to 30 miles away from the territory of Laoyin Mountain, and it can be walked on foot.
"Huh?"
Just returned here, looking from a distance, I saw that there were many more green flags between the villages and beside the official road, standing tall everywhere.
Some were just located at the head of the village, beside the trees, while others were held high by people. The believers in green robes followed the banners slowly, passing through the dirt roads in the countryside. The busy people in the fields on both sides saw them from afar and kowtowed hurriedly.
On those green banners, without exception, there was a word "reason". Coupled with their demeanor and robes, it was not difficult for Hu Ma to guess that they must be people from some sects.
However, such sects are often cautious and dare not show their power. Even the powerful Yiqian Sect, which has made up its mind to rebel, dares to hide in the mountains. How come the Qinglian Sect is so open outside?
He felt strange in his heart, but he didn't want to make trouble. He didn't look at it. In the distant fields, a gust of cold wind rolled here. It was Digua Shao who was shouting and yelling. He was only half an incense stick later than him and had already arrived at this place.
She was excited at this time, and the little ghost carrying the sedan chair was even more excited, and rushed forward directly.
Suddenly, on the main road, there was a person carrying a green banner, walking in the middle of the official road. Mules and horses passing by all avoided to one side, but Di Gu Shao rushed in so rashly, and just bumped into it.
Under the banner, the believer holding an incense burner in his hand felt the cold wind, so he slowly raised his head and shouted:
"The altar of truth cannot be bumped into!"
"..."
As he spoke, the invisible Yin Qi in the banner behind him suddenly swung to the side.
"Huh..."
It looked dangerous, but Di Gu Shao knew it in his heart. When he saw that he was about to bump into it, he sighed, raised the willow whip in his hand and chopped it in the air. The little ghosts carrying the sedan chair immediately stopped their feet. They were still quite a distance away from the banner!
But he also heard the believers under the banner shouting, especially with the cold wind blowing, which was very rude.
After two days of getting along, these little ghosts carrying the sedan chair had already joined Digua Shao's sect. They immediately shouted and cursed:
"Where did you come from, you monster, how dare you offend my grandmother?"
"Then beat him!"
"..."
Digua Shao, sitting on the sedan chair, stretched out his waist and looked down at the bottom of the green banner. He sneered and said, "I am a white-waisted little worshiper in the Red Lantern Goddess Society. Who are you to dare to bully me on the Red Lantern Society's territory?"
