Anping County is located near Hanzhong in Bashu.

Less than fifty miles apart.

Yishanjin killed the pig demon that was causing harm to the village.

Chief Zhao wants to ask the government office for credit for the two of them.

Anping County is too small and does not have the power to deal with supernatural monster affairs.

Of course I have to go to Hanzhong.

It just so happened that Chief Zhao was going to Hanzhong to report on his duties with the corpse of the pig demon.

With a polite invitation, Yi Shanjin and Bai Zirou went together.

Yishan thought to himself, now that he has no travel expenses, he is worried that he will have no place to rest tonight.

Hanzhong is also the only way for them to go to Chang'an.

So I agreed.

In order to show his friendship as a landlord, Master Zhao found a carriage, invited Bai Zirou to take a seat, and took a horse to Yishanjin.

Yi Shanjin has never ridden a horse before, so this ride is probably going to be a joke.

Besides, I, the majestic disciple of Bai Zirou, don't talk about flying with a sword, but I also want to turn my fighting spirit into a horse.

Even if I have to ride an earthly horse, I have to ride a spiritual beast!

Otherwise, if word gets out, people will laugh at you.

Then he waved his hand and said:

"Brother Zhao and I hit it off as soon as we met, and we share the same affection. I won't ride on your horse. I'll just ride in the carriage."

Chief Zhao thought Yishan was being polite to him and said quickly:

"Fellow Taoist, why can't you ride this horse?"

Of course, Yi Shanjin was not being polite and refused firmly:

"No, no, no."

After that, the people got into the carriage.

When Master Zhao saw this, he could only ask someone to take the horse away.

Later, the pig demon was tied up and killed by Yishan Jin.

Leading the officers and soldiers, they headed towards Hanzhong.

When we set off, the people lined the streets to see us off with great enthusiasm, and it was a scene of the soldiers and civilians enjoying each other's company.

……………………

It's late autumn now.

Yi Shanjin and Bai Zirou were sitting in the carriage, looking at the maple forest outside the window.

The fallen leaves are rustling, and the cold smoke is in the desert.

It was almost noon when the team set off.

After walking for half a day, we saw the setting sun, the sky was getting late, and it was almost dusk.

Master Zhao, who was riding in front, shouted:

"parking!"

The carriage stopped next to the maple forest.

A group of soldiers following him also stopped.

It's a little strange for Yishan to park the car in Fenglin near dusk.

What do you want to do?

Then I heard Chief Zhao say again:

"Set up camp and rest."

Only then did Yi Shanjin realize that he was going to camp next to the maple forest for the night.

Ping'an County is fifty miles away from Hanzhong, Bashu.

At normal marching speed, it would take more than half a day to complete the journey.

Of course you can't walk at night, it's too dangerous.

It seems that I have to rest in the wild tonight.

Master Zhao rode his horse and walked to the carriage.

Yi Shanjin opened the car door and stepped out of the car.

I saw Master Zhao suddenly turn over, get off the horse, and then said:

"I have ordered people to set up a camp for the two of you. The wilderness is simple, so if you just invite two of them, it will be enough for one night."

I bowed my hands to the mountains:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Master Zhao returned the gift and then went about his own business.

Yi Shanjin was just about to take a look around, but he was very active.

But I heard the master behind me say softly:

"Disciple, please get in the car. Master has something to say to you."

Yishan finally got back on the carriage.

Bai Zirou sat quietly in a corner, and after Yi Shanjin closed the car door, she said softly:

"Disciple, I have been thinking about my master for a long time. Although we have not encountered any enemies along the way, even if we can go to Xuannv Palace safely, we may not feel at ease. Xuannv Palace will be hindered because of us.

.”

When Yishan Jin heard this, he was stunned:

"Master, do you mean that we won't go to Xuannv Palace?"

"No, we still have to go to Xuannv Palace."

Bai Zirou spoke again:

"Your essence is damaged. Xuannv Palace is full of female cultivators. They can nourish yin and yang. If there is a way to replenish essence, you must go there."

Yishan was a little dumbfounded, but after hearing what Bai Zirou said, he actually had a little expectation.

"What do you mean, Master?"

"Go to Xuannv Palace, but don't seek their protection."

After Bai Zirou finished speaking briefly, Yi Shanjin was a little embarrassed this time and said:

"Master, with all due respect, the last time my disciple defeated the old blood demon, although he had the help of your golden elixir, Master, most of it still relied on the help of Senior Sword Master. Now that Senior Sword Master has gone to health care, if

There are powerful enemies coming, I'm afraid..."

Yi Shanjin paused and said very tactfully:

"I'm afraid we both will be crushed to death."

Bai Zirou chuckled, raised her sleeves, and covered her mouth slightly.

This smile was like a spring breeze. She put down her sleeves and said:

"Disciple, we are already in such a desperate situation, how can you still make jokes?"

Yishan Jin was stunned for a moment, you were obviously the one smiling happily, right?

I'm so serious and you actually said I was joking?

But Bai Zirou has already continued:

"Disciple, don't worry. I have just thought about it, and suddenly I came up with a way to have both ends of the world. It can keep you and me safe, and at the same time, you can boldly go to Chang'an and look for Xuannv Palace to replenish your essence."

When Yishan heard that there were such good things, he immediately listened.

Bai Zirou smiled mysteriously:

"Disciple, have you ever heard of Qin Tian Jian?"

The Qin Tianjian was responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars.

This is the knowledge in Yishanjin’s mind.

But since Bai Zirou asked about Qin Tianjian, it must not be that simple.

Yi Shanjin hesitated slightly and shook his head.

Just listen to Bai Zirou continue to say:
To be continued...
