Chapter 597 Walking Merchant
Xu Hei didn't know which side that monk was from, the Ma Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, or the casual cultivator?
He doesn't care.
He found that he still couldn't truly empathize with others. Even if he walked in the world and became a mortal, he was still an immortal and a demon in his heart!
All living beings are never equal. Some people try their best to survive, but they are no match for a single thought from others. A lifetime of hard work and struggle by a mortal can be wiped out by an immortal with just one breath.
Xu Hei learned a lot during this escort trip. At least he understood the dirty talk in the brothel.
…………
Outside Sanli Town, in a mountain stream.
A middle-aged man with a white beard who was wielding a sword landed in front of an old man in purple. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said: "Sanli Town has been completely destroyed. No one is left alive. I promise not to leak the news!"
"Well done!" The old man in purple nodded slightly.
"It's just..." The white-bearded middle-aged man hesitated for a while and said: "I let one person go. This person should be just a casual cultivator passing by. The younger generation can't see through his cultivation level, so he doesn't dare to take action rashly, so he only walks him along the route. Take note."
He handed an image to the old man in purple.
The old man in purple raised his eyebrows and said, "Rogue cultivator? Just to be on the safe side, I'll go and see it myself."
He straightened up and flew towards the direction where Xu Hei disappeared.
…………
In the days that followed, Xu Hei walked alone through mountains and rivers, through the jungle, from the western border of the horse country to the central part.
During this period, he would feel someone following him from time to time. At first, the opponent was only in the foundation building stage, but later on, the person's cultivation level became higher and higher.
Until yesterday, a monk who was in the early stage of forming pills came. Like the previous ones, he just glanced at Xu Hei from a distance and then walked away.
Xu Hei ignored it. In order to speed up his journey, he chopped down wood from the mountains and forests and started making machine puppets.
Not long after, a wooden cow and a flowing horse were completed. This object did not use any immortal methods. It was purely made with mortal handicrafts and looked like a cow.
As long as Xu Hei sits on it and steps on the pedal, the wooden cow can move forward automatically, which is quite magical.
"It will be much more convenient to travel with this thing." Xu Guangming said.
He also picked some wild fruits, ginseng and grass from the mountains and transported them on the back of a wooden ox, intending to sell them to mortals in the town to earn money.
In this way, Xu Hei walked and stopped all the way. Every time he came to a human town, Xu Hei would rest for a few days and communicate with people.
After spending more than half a year, Xu Hei finally crossed the border of Horse Country and arrived at the eastern border.
Compared with when he first entered the Kingdom of Horses, Xu Hei's appearance has not changed, but his whole person has a mundane temperament. Whether it is his demeanor, actions, or behavior, he looks like a man from the market.
"Uncle Xu, next time you pass by Qingshan City, you must come and see me!"
"must!"
After greeting the innkeeper's daughter, Xu Hei smiled honestly and dragged the wooden ox cart towards the distant border.
After passing the guard post, a pavilion appeared out of thin air on the road ahead. In the pavilion, an old Taoist with a white beard sat, with a pot of tea on the table. The aroma of tea overflowed. The old Taoist stroked his beard and looked at Xu Hei quietly.
Seeing such a scene, the simplicity on Xu Hei's face disappeared, replaced by a kind of calmness and indifference.
He walked into the pavilion and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
During the year Xu Hei traveled through the Kingdom of Horses, he often felt that someone was secretly watching him. The strongest person who came during this period has reached the Great Perfection of the Dan Formation Stage.
But since then, no one has appeared again.
But this time, the old man in front of him had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. At least in the big realm, he is on the same level as Xu Hei.
"Haha, my Taoist friend is so advanced that I am ashamed of myself. I wonder if you are interested in joining my Bone Sect and unifying the hundreds of kingdoms in China?"
The white-bearded old man didn't say a word of nonsense, he just got straight to the point.
Xu Hei had heard of the Bone Sect, which was the state religion of the Kingdom of Horses. Just like the Tianpuppet Sect is to the Qin State, the Si Tianjian is to the Chu State.
This sect is good at the way of life. It is said that it can copy two identical creatures, which is quite strange. Being able to give birth to a Nascent Soul cultivator shows off its strength.
"I already have a sect, and besides, I have no interest in unifying a hundred countries." Xu Hei shook his head.
The old Taoist was not surprised to receive such a reply. He just smiled and said, "My fellow Taoist, is this trip just for the purpose of transforming into a god?"
Xu Hei immediately raised his head, stared at him coldly, and said, "What do you mean?"
"I don't need fellow Taoists to join the Bone Sect. I only need fellow Taoists to make a little effort. When the hundreds of nations are unified, I have full confidence that you can successfully transform into a god!" The white-bearded old Taoist looked solemn and said: "I swear on my soul, Never break your promise!”
His words seemed sincere, but they were disturbing Xu Hei's state of mind, confusing Xu Hei's mortal heart that had finally settled down, and making him return to the utilitarian goal of becoming a god.
Xu Hei stared at the white-bearded old man in front of him for a long time and said, "I don't want to get involved in anything. If I see someone following him again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After Xu Hei finished speaking, he left the pavilion regardless of what the white-bearded old man thought.
As Xu Hei walked away, the white-bearded old man stroked his beard, thoughtfully.
"What should I do? He won't be fooled!"
There was a light laughter from the side, and a woman wearing a fox eyepatch appeared out of thin air, lying on a tree.
"Haha, who says he hasn't been fooled? At least, he already believes that I am a member of the Bone Sect." The white-bearded old man said with a smile, but his voice turned into a sharp female voice.
"So what if I believe it? Is it possible that he can eat the Bone Sect?" The woman with the fox eyepatch said with a sweet smile.
"What if? Let's wait and see." The white-bearded old man touched his beard and said meaningfully.
…………
After Xu Hei left the border of Malaysia, he entered a huge country called Leguo.
The people of this country are lazy and enjoy themselves. Working for one day and playing for three days is the current situation of the people at the bottom. The state religion of Le State is also the famous Changle Sect. Xu Hei once met members of this sect during the war between Qin and Chu.
Entering Le Country, Xu Hei started refining puppets again.
At first he only made some cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, and fish. Later, Xu Hei began to sculpt some creatures he once knew.
Entering an ancient city, he carved out a black and white dog, only as big as a palm. This was the second dog. The body is covered with fluff, the tail is erect, and the eyes are wide, lifelike.
Although no immortal magic was used, Xu Hei's careful craftsmanship already possessed some of Ergou's charm.
Looking at the masterpiece in his hand, Xu Hei smiled with satisfaction and placed it on the back of the wooden ox.
"Who will be produced next?"
The figure of Heihuang flashed through Xu Hei's mind, but he found that no matter what, he could not imagine Heihuang's charm.
"Try carving an outline first." Xu Hei took out a piece of wood and began to try.
"Is this brother a businessman?"
At this time, a voice came from the front.
"That's right." Xu Hei nodded, suddenly feeling that the voice sounded familiar, and raised his head to take a look.
In front of him, standing in front of him, was a young man with slightly dark skin and a simple and honest appearance. He had a sword on his waist and was dressed luxuriously, like a member of a wealthy family.
However, Xu Hei was still startled when he saw this familiar figure.
"Xiao Chou?"
