Lu Shisui had quietly left Mu Shan Village and set out on the road to avenge his father. However, he had no time to think about where he was going.

During this year, Lu Shisui carefully thought over every memory fragment of his father's life. He also searched the house for any clues that might lead him to his enemy, but to no avail.

Lu Tong was the son of an old age, while Lu Shimeng was in his memory, he had already moved his family to Wushan Village to wash their hands. In Mu Shan Village, there were no acquaintances of Lu Tong. The simple villagers only knew of the arrival of an outstanding martial arts expert, and no one understood the past glory of Lu Tong.

When he was a child, Lu Tong would occasionally tell him stories about his youth adventures in the martial arts world. He loved to listen to these stories, and they would be recorded in his mind, but he had never heard of Lu Tong killing people or getting himself into big trouble.

"Shop owner, give me a bowl of water." Lu Shishi had already walked more than a dozen miles away from the village. He couldn't help but feel thirsty, so he found a wine stall on the street and asked for a bowl of water to drink.

It was already past noon, not the time for lunch. There weren't many people at the wine stall. Lu Caishi found a clean table and sat down, continuing to think about where he should go to find his father's murderer.

"Since the Chou family can't think of anything, why not go and find father's friends, maybe they will know. Unfortunately, my father's letters to friends were all taken away. After we moved to Mu Shan Village, many people came to visit us, but I didn't have any impression of them. "Sigh, I wasn't paying attention then, what should I do now …" Lv Shisui sat down and thought alone.

"Sir, here's your water." The wine stall owner's call interrupted Lü's train of thoughts.

"Let's drink some water first." Lv Shisui raised his bowl and slowly smacked it. Only now did he notice the situation around him. He discovered that there was another group of people at this wine stall. It seemed like they were travelling from the east to the west.

During the Tang Dynasty, the country was prosperous and vast. People's business exchanges were also more frequent. Although there were threats from foreign races such as Tofu and Turkic in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Xuanzong Sect had strengthened the army in the adjacent area, opened up the farmland, and greatly enriched the defense. From the northeast to the northwest and south, they had set up nine special envoys, including Pinglu Fanyang, Hedong, Shifang, Longxi, Anxi, Yinan, and Jiannan. They had unified command over the military forces from the northeast to the northwest and from the south. In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the twelve states of western Liaoning, which had been trapped in Chidan for twenty-one years, were reinstated in Liucheng. In addition, the Tang Dynasty set up four towns in the Western Regions, which were known as the Anxi Divisions, to prevent the Turfan Forces from going north. The Tang Dynasty set up a new army and town on the west side of the Dragon Reach, consolidating the stability of the Hexi Corridor and ensuring commercial exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Countries.

"Big Brother Pan, let's drink more. The farther west we go, the harder it is to eat and drink." A young man dressed as a shop assistant said. The Guan Lao Da looked to be in his early thirties, but he was deliberately mature and seemed to be the leader of this caravan.

"You stinking brat, what do you know? Do you think that wine is the flavor of the Central Plains? Let me tell you, you have not seen much of the world, I have gone to the Western Regions many times to do business. After a few more days, they exited the Yumen Pass and arrived at the foot of the mountain. There were many grapes growing there, and the flavor was excellent. The wine was even more fragrant. "Especially those wines that have been stored away for years, I can guarantee you that you will never forget them again after drinking them once." "Big Brother Pan," he lectured.

When the waiter heard this, he seemed to yearn for it and urged, "Then let's hurry up and go, let's not drink these things here anymore."

"It's all because of you, kid. When we get some back to the Western Regions, we'll definitely be able to sell them at a good price in the Eastern Capital, Luoyang!" The leader with the surname Pan said.

"That's right, that's right …" The employees of the caravan began to chat among themselves to increase their anger for the boring journey.

"Jade Gate." Lu Shisui secretly thought of this place and felt that it was very familiar. "I seem to have heard of it somewhere. Did my father tell me? "

Lu Shisui had been talented since he was young. He had extraordinary memory, but the more he thought about his father, the more he was worried. He was worried, and the more he worried, the worse it was for him.

At this time, the leader of the caravan spoke again, "However, everyone needs to hurry up. The winters in the Western Regions are extremely cold and dry, and they take a very long time to do so. If we don't step up our pace, we can only spend the spring at home and winter in the Western Regions. "

"Winter, spring, spring... The spring breeze, the spring breeze is just like a jade door closing! " The reason why he felt that the jade door was so familiar was because he had heard this poem before. It sounded grand, so Lü had a deep impression of it, but because of his father, he didn't recall it in time.

Lu Shisui remembered that four or five years ago, an old friend of his father had come to visit his father at his home in Mu Shan Village. This person's family lived in Shanxi, but he travelled all the way to the western border. His kung fu was high and his literary talent was soaring. When this person came, he remembered that his father was very happy and had drunk with him to fight with the sword. During the banquet, he recited a poem, "When the Yellow River ascends into the clouds, there is a lonely city called Wanren Mountain. "There's no need to blame the willow tree for Qiang Jiu's flute. The spring wind will not stop at the jade door." After he finished chanting, he drank three bowls of strong liquor and laughed out loud. His father also drank three bowls of wine, praising the poem.

"This person should be a close friend of Father." As he thought of this, Lü was a bit excited, and finally found some clues: "This poem's description of the scenery at the edge of the world is magnificent, and it exuded a generous aura. I remember asking my father his name after he left. His father said that he was Wang Huanzhi from the Poetic Swords, who was known as' Sword Strike on the Thousand Feet Eagle, Poem Sweeping The Thousand Li Snow 'and his surname was Wang Huanzhi. Father's banquet in Mu Shan Village is extremely rare, so he definitely has a deep relationship with this Uncle Wang. If we find him, perhaps we might be able to learn something! "

Although Wang Zhizhong's home was in Shanxi, he had been wandering around the world for almost a year, visiting friends in the mountains. He also had a special interest in the Western Regions, which was why he received the name Western Traveller. Am I going north up the mountain or west out of the Frontier? " Lu Shishi was somewhat hesitant.

"Then wouldn't the winters in the Western Regions be very interesting!" The little fellow said excitedly. When the young people outside heard this, they all thought it was interesting, "Then why don't we stay in the Western Regions for two or three months? It would be much more fun to have snowmen during a snowstorm!"

Captain Pan reprimanded them, "What does a child like you know? In the Western Regions, the climate is very bad and there are very few people. There are many strong people on the road, so we should treat them as little as possible.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Caizhi nodded his head and thought, "What this leader says makes sense. Since Wang Zhizhan is called 'Western Wandering Codex', then it's only natural that we'll have a greater chance of meeting him in the Western Regions. "Even if I don't meet them, I should be able to meet a martial arts master along the way. If I don't deal with him, then I will be able to do my best and train my martial arts. If I do, then I will ask the seven men in black.
