Chapter 23 You Are a Rat in a Taoist Robe!

Since taking those blood marrow essence pills, Ding Yi's Everlasting Skill has made rapid progress.

As for the hot current in his body, Ding Yi named it "Evergreen Qi". After all, it was something that was born after studying martial arts. Although Ding Yi didn't know what it was, he felt that it was similar to Zhen Qi.

At this time, Ding Yi, relying on the Evergreen Qi in his body, could run for a mile without stopping and without losing breath. If he walked quickly, there would be no problem in walking for ten or twenty miles.

So after resting, Ding Yi released his speed and walked along the path.

This path was about a foot wide and looked like an official road, which undoubtedly gave Ding Yi a glimmer of hope.

Since there is an official way, it means that this world still has a ruler, although I don't know why such evil ways and chaos have occurred within its jurisdiction.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi's pace became a little faster, almost trotting forward.

Finally, after running for dozens of miles, some dilapidated buildings began to appear in Ding Yi's field of vision.

These buildings stood alone on both sides of the road, looking like abandoned inns or tea stalls.

Although no one was seen at the moment, the existence of these buildings still made Ding Yi feel a little excited.

After all, there are buildings here, which means that the road under Ding Yi's feet at this moment should have a lot of people, which also means that you should be able to reach major towns along this road.

Finally, as evening approached, Ding Yi saw a village sign similar to Xiaotan Village appearing in front of the road on the quicksand map.

"It's not even a town yet, just a small village."

Ding Yi frowned and muttered in his heart.

Due to the relationship with Xiaotan Village, Ding Yi felt wary of this small village at the moment. Who can guarantee whether another Qingyunzi will pop up here?

Fortunately, there was no red cross on the quicksand map, which made Ding Yi feel a little relieved.

"It's not a big problem."

Ding Yi tightened the long knife hanging on his waist, then looked at the colorful clouds reflected in the setting sun on the horizon, and then hurried towards the direction of the village.

No matter what, we have to deal with it here tonight.

To Ding Yi's surprise, when Ding Yi arrived at the entrance of the village, he found that the village was dilapidated. At first glance, it was full of collapsed houses and weeds, and it had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

"It looks like there's no one there."

Ding Yi stood at the entrance of the village and looked around for a while, then took out the quicksand map and took a look at it. He found that some of the conditions in the village could also be seen on the map. There should be no such things as those outside Xiaotan Village. Toy, I stepped into it with confidence.

The warm breeze in the evening slowly blew the weeds on the paths in the village, adding a sense of warmth to this bleak scene.

Ding Yi walked along the path for a long time, but found nothing special. Moreover, most of the houses here had collapsed, and some of the houses were even overgrown with weeds.

But fortunately, after some searching, Ding Yi finally found a slightly complete house near the center of the village. He immediately pulled out the long knife hanging on his waist and pushed open the half-closed wooden door with the tip of the knife. .

A large amount of dust instantly hit his face as the wooden door opened. Ding Yi covered his face with his sleeves and squinted his eyes as he walked into the house.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Ding Yi waved his sleeves while looking at the house in front of him.

It seems that it is relatively well-preserved. There are not many weeds in this house. There are even a few intact plates on the table. Inside the plates are a few shriveled walnut-like things. It looks like they are Some kind of fruit.

Ding Yi glanced at the things on the table, and then turned his attention to the wooden door of the side room.

Just in case, Ding Yi lit the lamp and then walked towards the bedroom with the lamp in hand.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, a strong smell of mold flooded into Ding Yi's nasal cavity, which made him wrinkle his nose.

On the bed made of wood, there was still a quilt that had been opened at a corner. It can be seen that the owner of this house must have encountered something and left in a hurry.

The bedside cabinet was also open and messy, with nothing in it. Ding Yi lost interest in looking through it after just one glance.

"Although the mold smell is a bit strong, it's good that I can deal with it here for one night."

Ding Yi quickly looked around the room, and then prepared to spend the night here and leave again tomorrow.

In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Ding Yi extinguished the oil lamp after the sun completely set. Then he found a corner in the living room and sat down. He leaned against the corner with a long knife in his hands and started the Evergreen Kung Fu at the same time.

As of today, all the elixirs in Ding Yi's hands have been consumed, so the speed of practicing the Evergreen Technique has also been greatly reduced.

But the Evergreen Kung Fu is currently the only Kung Fu that Ding Yi can rely on, so naturally he doesn't dare to delay it for a moment. He practices it whenever he has time, which has almost become his habit.

Just like that, it was already midnight before he knew it. Ding Yi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately took out the quicksand picture from his arms and spread it out in his hands, looking at it with the faint moonlight. got up.

"Without a red cross, he is not an enemy? Or does he not pose a threat to me?"

At this moment, Ding Yi's brows were knitted into a knot, but he suddenly heard subtle footsteps coming from outside the house.

While Ding Yi was thinking, a crunching sound suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

The wooden door that was originally closed slowly opened inward, and then a figure walked into it at the same time.

Ding Yi in the corner suddenly tensed up his muscles, held the long knife in his right hand, and stared at the figure at the door.

The person who entered the room also spotted Ding Yi in the corner through the moonlight, and immediately let out a surprised "Eh" sound.

"Brother, where are you from? Do you mind if I stay here for one night?"

The man spoke in a thick dialect, and at the same time he entered the house without any care, as if he was not afraid of Ding Yi at all.

"Where are you from?"

Ding Yi didn't move and asked slowly.

"Li Baozheng of Qingfeng County."

The man said slowly, and then looked at Ding Yi with some pride.

"...."

"You don't know me?"

Li Baozheng was stunned for a moment, but now he stopped.

"Why should I know you?"

Ding Yi was also baffled.

"Qingfeng County!! Li Baozheng!!"

Li Baozheng emphasized again.

"I don't know."

Ding Yi's left hand has already touched the handle of the gun.

"You're not from here?"

Li Baozheng seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask.

"no."

Ding Yi said slowly.

"Hey! I'll just say it! Otherwise, who in this three-acre land wouldn't know me, Li Baozheng!"

Li Baozheng patted his chest with some pride, and then sat down at the corner farthest from Ding Yi.

"What are you doing here in Qingfeng County? To visit relatives? Or to run for your life?"

Li Baozheng seemed to be a familiar person. He didn't feel sleepy at all in the middle of the night. Instead, he asked Ding Yi.

"It's like escaping for your life."

Ding Yi said.

"Hey, in this world, every outsider has to run for his life. Who are we, the yin-yang palace stewards?"

Li Baozheng chuckled.

"Brother Li, I don't know what happened when I passed by here late at night?"

After a while, Ding Yi asked tentatively.

"Brother, which direction did you come from? Have you ever encountered a place called Xiaotan Village?"

Li Baozheng did not answer, but asked Ding Yi.

"Not encountered."

Ding Yi said directly without any fluctuation in his tone.

"That's good. I heard that there are traces of the Flesh and Blood Temple over there. I'm going to take a look."

Li Baozheng said with a smile.

"Flesh and Flesh View? Are you going alone?"

Ding Yi was stunned.

"It's just a matter of flesh and blood, what kind of risks can a group of rats dare to show their faces!"

Li Baozheng said dismissively.

"I almost forgot, brother, you don't know, I am Li Baozheng from the Supervision Department of Qingfeng County!"

After saying that, Li Baozheng stood up slowly, and then pointed at Ding Yi:

"You are such a f*cking coward with a view of flesh and blood. I can smell the bloody smell of your Taoist robe from so far away. I will peel off your skin and dig out the flesh and blood from your chest so that you can know what you are doing." Grandpa Li is awesome!”
