I rely on talismans to seek longevity

Chapter 23: First time in the martial arts world

After recovering his state of mind, Luo Ling did not attack the meridians again, but slowly concentrated his internal energy to warm them up. Before he knew it, it was already dawn. Luo Ling finished his practice and carefully checked the meridian that he had warmed up all night. He found that the outer wall of this meridian was slightly thicker than the others. Luo Ling was delighted. It seemed to be effective. In the future, he would slowly warm up one meridian at a time, and when it reached a certain level, he would attack the meridians again.

After a while, Lao Li came over and called Luo Ling: "Brother Luo, it's time for us to have breakfast." Luo Ling said: "Hmm", then packed up, opened the door and walked out.

They ordered some breakfast at the inn and set off in a hurry. On the way, Luo Ling slowly read other books, such as "The Court", which talked about being an official in the court, how to control subordinates, how to get promoted, and how to navigate various forces, etc. There are many cases written in it. Although Luo Ling had no idea of ​​becoming an official, he was also interested in reading this book.

There were few people on the road. After noon, we saw a caravan in the distance. The whole caravan had about ten horses and several carriages. Each carriage was fully loaded, and they were not moving very fast. Soon, Luo Ling and his carriage caught up with the other party. Luo Ling looked forward and saw a pair of siblings in the caravan who were very different. They were very young but had a sense of sophistication. They should be the leaders of the caravan, which was beyond Luo Ling's expectation. Luo Ling exclaimed "Huh".

Old Li asked doubtfully: "Brother Luo, is there something wrong?"

Luo Ling: "It's okay. I didn't expect the leader of the caravan to be so young."

Old Li: "Oh, the caravan across the street is from the Gu family in the county town. The two young men are the Gu family's brother and sister. They have been traveling around the country with their father to do business since they were young. Now most of the Gu family's business is handled by them. His father has not been out on business for a long time."

"I didn't expect it, it's so amazing." At this time, Luo Ling's carriage just passed by the Gu family brothers and sisters, and Luo Ling unconsciously nodded slightly to them as a greeting. The other party saw that Luo Ling looked like a scholar, and also nodded slightly as a gesture.

Soon, Luo Ling and his carriage passed the caravan and continued to move forward. After walking for an hour, they saw a teahouse in front of them. Old Li stopped the carriage with a "whoosh". Then he said, "Brother Luo, how about taking a rest in front, drinking some tea, and eating some dry food?"

Luo Ling: "Okay, I want to walk around too."

The teahouse was not big, with three tables. A well-dressed man sat at one of the tables. On the table was a knife with a sheath. The sheath looked like the kind that ordinary warriors use. Luo Ling activated the Qi-Watching Chapter and looked at the well-dressed man. He saw that there was a kind of Qi surrounding him, but the Qi was not solid, but faint, surrounding his body. According to the Qi-Watching Chapter, this should be a characteristic of a warrior in the early stage.

Luo Ling did not continue to read, and then asked Lao Li for two bowls of tea, drinking tea and chatting. The man at the next table looked at Luo Ling from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Luo Ling and the others finished their tea, ate some dry food, and prepared to set off. At this time, the man in tight clothes limped over and said, "Hello, are you guys going to the county town too?"

Luo Ling did not answer, and Lao Li nodded. Then the man in tight clothes continued, "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm an escort. I was injured while escorting recently and I'm not able to move easily. My horse got scared and ran away. It took me a long time to get here. I want to take advantage of your carriage to the town ahead. I can pay you. I don't know if it's convenient."

Old Li looked at the man in tight clothes and didn't answer, then looked at Luo Ling and shook his head. Luo Ling looked at the man, who looked very square and didn't look like a bad person. In addition, Luo Ling knew from the "Qi Wang Pian" that the man's cultivation was not as good as his, so he didn't think it was a big deal. In addition, Luo Ling was kind-hearted. After thinking for a while, Luo Ling said, "It's not easy to be away from home. Okay, I'll give you a ride?"

Seeing that Luo Ling had spoken, Old Li was too embarrassed to refuse, so he let the man in the tight suit get on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, the man in the tight suit said, "My name is Zhang Kai. May I know your name, sir?"

Luo Ling: "No need to mention your last name Luo."

Zhang Kai: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, and thank you, uncle, the driver."

Gradually, Zhang Kai became familiar with Luo Ling and the others, and also told some interesting stories when they were escorting, such as one time when they were escorting a group of robbers halfway. The robbers wanted to rob, but in the end they found out that they were escorting only a few wanted warrants, which were for these robbers, and they were furious on the spot. When they wanted to seek revenge on the escort, they found that the escort had already run away. Luo Ling and Lao Li also relaxed their guard. After a while, Zhang Kai said, "Uncle Li, you are so tired of driving the car. I can drive the car too. I will help you. You go and have a rest." Lao Li insisted at first, but in the end he couldn't resist Zhang Kai's enthusiasm and let Zhang Kai drive the car for him. About half an hour later, Zhang Kai took a few sesame cakes from the package, picked up one and ate it, and handed one to Luo Ling and Lao Li, saying, "Our special sesame cakes are very good. You can try them." Then he took another bite himself, and it looked really delicious.

Luo Ling and Lao Li looked at it and didn't seem to find anything wrong, so they started eating. It tasted really good. The onion fragrance was very strong, and they finished the pancake in a few bites. Suddenly, they felt their eyelids drooping and they felt very sleepy. When they tried to cheer themselves up, they had already fallen down and fainted.

Zhang Kai saw two people fainted and said, "Huh, two rookies, they were fooled so easily."
