Chapter 673 Small talk
Lu Linnan Ge and his group led Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying all the way eastward.
This road is not the official road of Jinyang City and has not been repaired. It is just a shortcut used by villagers or traveling merchants to walk, drive livestock, and transport goods, which has been trampled out over a long period of time.
Therefore, there are always many potholes and protruding rocks on the road, and some places are even narrow and steep, making it extremely difficult to walk on.
Chu Xiaomu has walked many difficult roads since he was a child, the worst of which is the ancient black miasma road in Beast Mountain, but this path to Yutuo City has several places that are equally difficult.
Chu Xiaomu was riding what people called the Shenma Chenghuang. This kind of small road was nothing to it. As long as it wanted to run, it could run at a speed almost the same as on the official road.
Lu Linnan Ge and his party rode on Xiba horses. Although this kind of horse is not fast, it has excellent endurance, thick legs and big hooves, which are very suitable for walking on this kind of bumpy mountain road.
Although Xiaoying's horse was a military horse from Bicheng, Li Qi's guard's horse was killed in the battle with the Red Soldiers, so the horse she rode to Jinyang City was just an ordinary horse. Moreover, due to the lack of fodder in Bicheng, the horse was quite weak, and it was not able to recover in just a few days in Jinyang City. Therefore, she could not keep up with the speed.
Chu Xiaomu was riding a yellow horse and walking at the end. Looking at the slow-moving Xiaoying, he felt anxious but there was nothing he could do.
One of Lu Linnan Ge's servants kept urging her to walk faster, saying that the people from the Golden Sword Sect were chasing them from behind, and if she didn't walk faster, everyone would become their victims.
This made Xiaoying very angry, and she said, "You stinky barbarian, why are you rushing me? I also want him to run faster, but he can't run fast, what can I do?"
The attendant's surname was Xin, and his name was Chengyong. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, unshaven beard, and was very strong, like a big bull. When he heard Xiaoying calling him a stinky barbarian, he didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "Little sister, you are right. I was a little impatient and shouldn't have rushed you."
Xiaoying snorted and ignored him.
Lu Linnan Ge was walking in the front and simply slowed down, saying, "It has been several days now, the Golden Sword Sect should not be chasing us anymore, let's walk slower and let the horses rest."
Xiaoying immediately smiled and said, "Sister Nange is the best. She is the most caring one."
This made Lu Lin Nan Ge blush and feel embarrassed to speak.
Xin Chengyong said, "Miss Xiaoying, I think your riding skills are not very good. Why don't we try to change horses? Maybe we can go faster. The horses in Yutuo City are the best to ride. It doesn't matter if you are not good at riding."
Xiaoying said unhappily, "It's not up to you, a barbarian, to decide whether I'm a good rider! Besides, you're like a big iron ball, you might crush my horse to death."
Xin Chengyong laughed and said, "What you said makes some sense. That horse is so skinny that it might be crushed to death by me."
Lu Lin Nan Ge asked, "Chu Xiaomu, you are so good at riding a yellow horse, why don't you let Xiaoying ride one with you?"
Chu Xiaomu was healing his wounds with wood spirit power along the way. When he heard Lu Linnan Ge's question, he said, "It's not that I don't want to, but Cheng Huang doesn't want to. And I heard that not everyone can ride Cheng Huang. It seems to be harmful to the spirit body."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Linnange's two attendants' eyes widened. Xin Chengyong asked, "Is this true? What's the logic behind this?"
Lu Linnan Ge frowned and thought for a while, then said, "My father told me that in the past, there was indeed a saying that strong spirits could restrain weak spirits, but now few people mention it. Cheng Huang should be an ancient spirit, and he really can't be touched easily."
Xiaoying asked: "Sister Nange, what is a strong spirit and a weak spirit?"
Lu Linnan Ge answered simply, "I don't know either."
When Chu Xiaomu was about to ride Cheng Huang to West Beast Mountain at Bu Jian Peak, he was thrown off the horse by Cheng Huang. At that time, the white-haired old ape said, "Cheng Huang is a Yuanxu spiritual body. If your spiritual body is much weaker than its, you will be absorbed by its spiritual power, which will be harmful to both of you over time." He didn't quite understand this sentence at the time, but gradually understood it, and he told it briefly about what happened in Beast Mountain and this sentence.
Xiaoying asked: "Brother Xiaomu, you can ride now, is it because your spirit has become stronger? What is a spirit?"
Lu Linnan Ge frowned and said, "You don't even know what a spirit is. That's really strange."
She was talking to herself, so no one answered.
Chu Xiaomu said, "I was injured by the Eye Clan Demon General of the Red Sand Country. My wound healed and then got worse, and then got better again, over and over again. It was indeed my spirit that was injured. Later, I went to West Beast Mountain to learn from my master for a few months, and only then did my spirit get healed. So it can be said that my spirit got stronger." He paused and continued to explain, "But before I went to West Beast Mountain, I also rode Qisheng there. At that time, my wounds were not healed yet. I think its face protector worked. After I put it on him, he was willing to let me ride him."
Xin Chengyong and another attendant were speechless. They could not have imagined that this horse had so many magical features.
Lu Linnan Ge turned his head and stared at the face guard on Cheng Huang's head, his brows tightly furrowed, and he said nothing.
