C45
Within an inn in Luoyang City.
"Brother Cheng, are you sure you won't come back with me?" Nie Laihong asked with a regretful expression.
Cardinal Cheng waved his hand, "I'm not going anymore. You guys can go now. In the future, when I have the chance, I'll come to the capital to find you."
Li Mo also said, "That's right, that's right. Come with us to the Shunjin Manor."
Li Mo said that she also wanted to visit the three residences of Jiangnan, so she decided to leave with Nie Laihong and the others.
Nie Laihong originally wanted to refuse.
But when he saw her touching and pitiful appearance, his heart softened. Fine, fine, I'll bring you along.
Then, he went to say goodbye to Nie Laihong. He decided not to go back with them. He would not go back with Nie Laihong and the others since he was going to Mount Hua right now.
Actually, Nie Laihong really wanted to ask the Cardinal to go back with him.
However, Cardinal Zhu Cheng insisted on refusing. Therefore, Nie Laihong tried to persuade him but to no avail. Therefore, he didn't try to persuade him to stay, nor did he try to persuade him to stay.
He had been in Luoyang City for quite some time. Since Nie Laihong was planning to stay for the Flowery Day holiday, the rest of the Dragon Gate Escort Office didn't want to wait for him. Therefore, they had already set off ahead of time.
Right now, Nie Laihong was bringing Li Mo with him as he prepared to return to the Longmen Escort Office.
After packing his bags, Nie Laihong was about to leave the inn when he turned around and asked again, "Brother Cheng, are you really not coming back with us?"
"I went out to roam the Jianghu, went to the darts, and went back to Luoyang? "Alright, alright, stop being so girly. I'll be going to the capital later. See you in the future." With that, he waved his hand, "Quickly, let's go."
Nie Laihong was carrying a bag on his back. He knew that it was useless to try and persuade him otherwise, so he said, "I'll be going then."
He then brought Li Mo and chased after the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Office.
Cardinal Nie sent Nie Laihong off.
He also returned to his room, packed his bag and took out his sword.
Wearing a new set of green robes, he walked in the direction of Mount Hua.
Mount Hua was in the northwest direction of Luoyang, and its distance was not very close, but it was not very far either.
Before he left Luoyang this time, Cardinal had bought a copy of the geography map. Besides some remote places or hidden places, there were basically all sorts of records about it.
There were three towns, one forest, and one river that led to Mount Hua.
Originally, Shaolin Temple of Mount Song was directly north of Luoyang, but it was still not too late for him to go to Mount Song after he had planned on going to Mount Hua first.
In addition, Cardinal felt that he had yet to enter the Four Colourless Heavens, so even if he ascended Mount Hua, he still could not argue with them. Only by entering the Four Colourless Heavens' realm could he compete with the world's top cultivators, so Cardinal was not in a hurry to go all the way.
While sightseeing along the way, the journey was leisurely and leisurely. The Cardinal was on his way this time, unlike the last time when he had been darting, he needed to take care of the escort, and he needed to hurry on his way without stopping.
When he was alone, he could leave whenever he wanted to. If he wanted to stop, he could stop and enjoy the scenery whenever he wanted to.
He would rest when he was tired, find water to drink when he was thirsty, use the sky as his bed when he was tired. Sometimes he would rest on a tree, sometimes he would find a cave to rest.
On the way, Cardinal occasionally recalled what had happened a while ago. He made a few friends, sent over an escort, and helped Zhang Yuwen confess.
Thinking of this, the Cardinal subconsciously smiled. He originally thought that confessing wouldn't work, but he didn't think that the two of them liked each other.
It's a very happy thing to have someone in your life who likes you.
After leaving Luoyang City, he would go all the way and stop here. He would cultivate whenever he needed to, and he would fight wild rabbits whenever he wanted to eat something …
On the way, he was quite happy.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Cardinal saw the first small town. He took out his map and looked at the closest town.
His name was Wang Family Town.
Cardinal thought that it was probably because everyone in the village had the surname Wang, which was why they were called this name.
Cardinal had been worn out from the journey, carrying a long sword on his back and wearing a green robe. He was alone.
The moment he stepped into the town, he didn't attract anyone's attention. He silently walked on his own path.
Cardinal didn't seem like a hero either. After entering every village, there would be many people who would pass the news on. Who would have thought that a hero would come again?
Even if it was Nie Laihong, his reputation would probably be much greater than Nie Tian's. If it was Pan Tao, there might really be someone who would recognize him.
When Cardinal thought of Pan Tao, he once again thought of that flute. His flute melody was long and melodious, and from the bottom of his heart, Cardinal felt that those who knew musical instruments were much more handsome than the average chivalrous expert.
If he had the chance, he could also learn to play a musical instrument. At least, when he travelled alone, he could sometimes take it out to relieve his boredom.
After entering the Wang Family Town, he found a small store, paid for a room and stayed there.
Cardinal was cultivating his internal energy in his room as he estimated that in at most three months, he would be able to enter the four colorless days of the Luminous Heavens.
When Cardinal cultivated, he always focused on the task at hand.
On the second day, he cultivated his internal energy and ate his breakfast.
He thought to himself that at least he had found a new place, and logically, he should have a good look at it. Anyway, he wasn't in a rush to go to Mount Hua for the time being.
Cardinal Cheng walked out of the store and looked around.
Other than a large city like Luo Yang and Yin Du, everyone in the small town was actually running around for three meals a day. Although the small town didn't have the bustling feeling of Luo Yang and Yan City, it still gave a strange feeling to Cardinal.
The prosperity ended and returned to its ordinary state.
This was the normal life of a person. No one could live a wonderful life every day, but neither could anyone.
Cardinal Zhu was swimming upstream when he suddenly had a strange thought. This life of his was already so big, he didn't even know what a gambling den was. He should go and take a look today.
He still had quite a bit of spare money on him.
He chose a gambling den.
He entered.
Although the gambling house was not big, it was still bustling with activity. Many people were already sitting at the gambling tables.
They were waiting for the match to begin.
"Big!" Big! Big! "Big!"
"Little!" Small! Small! "Small!"
"You are all wrong, I will buy a leopard! This round will show you the leopard! "
"Piss off!" This should be a draw! "
The dealer of the casino chanted, "If you want to buy the bet, you have to leave. After you bet, you can't change it!" Everyone, think carefully! "
Then his wrist flew, and the dice kept spinning inside the bamboo tube. When the dice collided with the bamboo tube, a tinkling sound could be heard.
Everyone's expression was fervent! Staring at the die, the dealer shouted, "Alright!" "Open!"
"Bam!" The bamboo tube was pressed down heavily onto the table.
The warm atmosphere had reached its peak. Some people could not wait to see the result and shouted, "Open!" Open! "Open!"
The dealer shouted, "Open ~!"
His hand gripped the bamboo tube and suddenly lifted it up. Everyone's eyes uniformly looked at the dice.
