Chapter 496 - 496: Broken Walls and Ruins
Fighting someone of a higher cultivation level was as easy as drinking water for Xu Bai. Therefore, No Flower felt relieved.
“Benefactor Xu, is this considered a business deal?” No Flower asked subconsciously. ”
Xu Bai shook his head and teased,”lf you want to treat it as a business deal, I don’t mind.”‘
No Flower quickly waved his hand, indicating that he was joking.
Just like that, the two of them chatted as they rushed towards their final destination. Unfortunately, the journey was too long. The two of them had originally stopped at the Yin Posthouse along the way, but they did not rest for long before they set off.
The heavens did not grant one’s wish. Unexpectedly, not long after they set off again, something unusual appeared in the sky. They were walking at night, but dark clouds were gradually appearing in the distant horizon, occupying the entire sky.
The rumbling thunder was endless, and it was as stuffy as a steamer. It felt like a mountain rain was about to come.
“Looks like it’s going to rain heavily.” Ye Zi raised her slender neck and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.”Young Master, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain.”
The heavy rain did not affect the people present much. After all, they were all experts. However, most of the mountains were filled with soil. If it rained, the mountain path would become very slippery and not suitable for horses to walk on.
The people were fine, but if the horse was broken, they could only rely on their legs to travel.
Sometimes, it was better to take things one step at a time. Xu Bai and the others didn’t think too much about it. Soon, they found a small temple in the forest, which was just right for shelter.
The small temple was already in ruins. It was located in the deep mountains and old forests. It looked unrepaired and there was a rotten aura everywhere.
Fortunately, there were a few tiles on the roof that could serve as a place to shelter from the rain.
There was a clay Buddha statue in the small temple. It had not been taken care of and was already covered in thick dust.
As soon as Xu Bai stepped into the temple, a heavy rain came. The sound of the rain was accompanied by the dull thunder, making people feel depressed.
“Looks like the rain will fall for a while.”No Flower looked at the sky and said.
Xu Bai took the rations from Ye Zi and handed one to No Flower.””lt can be considered a rare free time.’
He had been rushing for the past few days and had not rested for long. Now that the rain was probably going to last for a while, he could take a break.
“That’s true.” No Flower touched his bald head, walked to a place to sit cross-legged, and took out another book to read.
As he read, he was memorizing something.
Xu Bai had almost developed an occupational disease. He subconsciously glanced at it to see if there was a progress bar. Unfortunately, there was no new progress bar.
He looked at No Flower and asked excitedly,””What are you looking at? Why are you blushing?”
Wu Hua said,” It’s some of my experiences in the mortal world. When I have nothing to do, I will flip through it and review the contents in order to consolidate my current realm.’”‘
Experience?
A strange smile appeared on Xu Bai’s face.
He knew how No Flower entered the mortal world. The so-called entering the mortal world was to go to the Spring Rain Pavilion and wander around. Under such circumstances, he naturally knew what the contents of the insights were.
He had never thought that No Flower would have such a hobby. When he had nothing to do, he would take out the things he had visited in Spring Rain Pavilion to look at.
Of course, No Flower didn’t know what Xu Bai was thinking. He was still watching attentively, as if he was already lost in thought.
Ye Zi poured a glass of water for Xu Bai.
Under Xu Bai’s command, the puppet of the Fourth Stage took out the heavy sword technique and handed it over to Xu Bai.
Now, the progress bar of this book was almost halfway done. Unfortunately, there was still a long way to go before it reached perfection.
Xu Bai didn’t give up on this little break. In his opinion, this was the most comfortable time for him to progress. No one would disturb him, and he didn’t have to worry about anything.
There were still fifteen nameless saber scriptures left. He had to hurry up and finish them as soon as possible.
However, according to his current speed, Xu Bai estimated that even if he reached Beijing, he wouldn’t be able to make the progress bar perfect for all these books.
Unless something unexpected happened in the middle, it was still possible.
“Is this considered planting a flag for myself?”Xu Bai thought.
Ye Zi sat beside Xu Bai and rested her head on Xu Baits shoulder. She hugged her knees with both hands and closed her eyes in deep thought.
She didn’t know why, but the longer she was with Young Master, the more she did those kinds of things, the more her strength increased.
It was raining heavily outside the temple, accompanied by the sound of thunder. On the other hand, it was quiet inside the temple, forming a strong contrast.
Just as everyone was doing their own things, a series of hurried footsteps sounded. More than a dozen Jianghu people entered the temple.
In such a heavy rain, the Jianghu people who were walking outside also needed to take shelter from the rain. This temple naturally became a place to take shelter from the rain. These Jianghu people carried different weapons and looked travel-worn.
The leader thought that there was no one in the temple, but when he saw Xu Bai and the other two, he was stunned..
