Everyone within Pi County ate and celebrated late into the night. Thus, almost everyone woke up pretty late on the next day.
After finding out that Li Huowangs party was leaving, the magistrate dragged his hungover body and his wife to send them off. Daoist, may you have a smooth future ahead of you! I will write down a detailed record praising you and your activities before submitting it to my superiors! Safe travels!
Despite Li Huowangs face still being bloody and looking quite scary, Yang Hongzhi sent him off while waving both his hands and smiling.
Li Huowangs acting was also perfect, not letting anyone discover what had happened last night.
Puppy was quite happy when he heard how much they were praising all of them, but Li Huowang didnt say anything about it.
Magistrate Yang, could you give us a recomndation letter? Mine was destroyed last night from accidentally being soaked in wine, requested Li Huowang as they were leaving.
He learned from Bai Lingmiao that the Liang Kingdom was different from the other places. They might be fine in smaller towns, but without a recomndation letter, they would not be able to enter any of the cities.
Even though Li Huowang would be able to easily handle the issue, he didnt want to trouble Bai Lingmiao.
Recommandations? Sure sure! Yang Hongzhi readily agreed. Now that the issue of the ghost had been resolved and his career was steady, the magistrate was more than happy to write them a few recomndation letters.
Actually, the magistrate really wanted to send Li Huowang off as soon as possible; the latter was just too dangerous. Thus, he did his part for the people by sending Li Huowang off till three or four li away before returning.
Hmph! He was so diligent in sending us off that people might have thought that he was sending off his father. Also, why didnt he give us so money for our travels? Xiucai spat onto the ground and grumbled.
Pa!
Suddenly the bronze smoke pipe hit him square in the face.
Li Huowang couldnt be bothered with their antics; he was busy thinking about what Hong Da had told him yesterday.
He had managed to take the first step and established contact with the Surveillance Bureau. However, it was much more difficult than he had thought. All Hong Da had said was that he would go back and report it. There was no guarantee that it would succeed.
Li Huowang needed backup plans in case this ended in failure.
It wouldve been fine if he had just been directly rejected. Instead, Li Huowang was more afraid that Hong Da was soone from the Sitting Oblivion Dao.
At that mont, Monks illusion touched the bronze coin veil on Li Huowangs face. Dont worry. You didnt even take this off while sleeping. He shouldnt have been able to discover your true identity. As long as they dont find out, you will definitely be able to escape.
However, Li Huowang didnt feel anything in the face of Monks encouragent. Having just a single bronze coin veil to cover up his identity was far too dangerous. He needed another layer of protection if he wanted to feel safe.
But Monk was right. As long as no one discovered what he was, he would be relatively safe.
I need strength. As long as Im strong enough, there wont be any problem.
The recomndation letters they got from Yang Hongzhi wouldnt just be useful when trying to enter cities, but they could also serve as temporary identities. With them, Li Huowang and the rest could be considered half-civilians of the Liang Kingdom.
Jiang jiang jiang jiang~
Soone was performing in a regular town of the Liang Kingdom.
Puppy continued to strike the gong while Lu Juren walked onto the stage with his makeup and started singing.
Captivated by their new song, the audience threw food and money onto the stage. So of them even gave them a basket of pond loaches, causing Luo Juanhua, who was dressed as a beggar, to scurry away in fright. Seeing this, the audience laughed at her.
anwhile, Lu Zhuangyuan was at the side of the muddy road, happily counting the money they had received with Zhao Wu.
Li Huowang was quite surprised by just how much money they were earning. After the Lu family decided to change up their performance to sothing else, the money they started earning was quite a bit more than what they had earned before. And as their employer, he would be able to obtain half of it.
Even though the Lu family was no golden goose, at the very least, they were a goose that was consistently laying eggs with double yolks.
Brother Zhao Wu, looks like our calculations match! We have earned quite a lot today, so lets have sothing nice to eat. We can have so pond loaches with tofu today! suggested Lu Zhuangyuan. Since they already had the pond loaches, he only needed to buy so tofu from the village to make the dish.
Having been around Lu Zhuangyuan for so long, Li Huowang already had a general grasp on his temperant. Troupe leader Lu, why did I not see Xiucai during the performance?
The smiling Lu Zhuangyuan revealed a sad expression when he heard about his youngest son. Him? Forget about him. Even if he manages to learn so supernatural powers, he would never take care of . We should still rely on others, dont you think so too, my good grandson?
Li Huowang walked away when he saw Lu Zhuangyuan was playing with his grandson. He walked toward the large rock where Lu Xiucai was training.
As he got closer, Li Huowang heard Lu Xiucai chanting.
There were two bronze coins in front of Lu Xiucai. As he chanted, the bronze coins beca attached together.
He then stomped the ground, causing the two bronze coins to be separated once more.
After training for so long, Lu Xiucai had finally managed to forcefully morize the chant and learn how to use it!
As he observed the boy, Li Huowang finally ca to understand just how much effort Dan Yangzi had put into his practice to obtain his powers before his death.
Master! greeted Lu Xiucai.
Not bad. How are you feeling? asked Li Huowang, silently observing Lu Xiucai.
Good! I feel great! replied Lu Xiucai. In fact, he was overjoyed at having managed to learn the chant. He even felt that he had changed completely into soone else.
Hearing his reply, Li Huowang was disappointed and happy at the sa ti.
He was disappointed by the fact that his guess was wrong. He had thought that this technique used by the disciples of Luoism would be able to drive away the rage and killing intent from Lu Xiucais body.
At the sa ti, he was happy that Lu Xiucai was fine even after having learned the technique. This ant that the technique that the Nascent Soul had left behind did not contain anything harmful. Now, it was ti for Li Huowang to learn it.
Its fine for you to train hard, but why did you not perform together with your father? asked Li Huowang.
Lu Xiucai revealed a look of disgust when he heard that. Im now an expert that is capable of using supernatural powers. Why should I join them on stage and go back to being at the bottom of the caste system?
Li Huowang frowned. He found Lu Xiucai to be detestable. To think that he was this prideful even though he had barely learned anything. How could he look down on his father and brother like that?
But Lu Xiucai was destined to fail. The supernatural power that he learned was only usable with the bronze coin sword. Without it, he wouldnt be able to do anything even if he had managed to learn the chant.
