Gu Yue opened the map.

During the days of meditation in the nameless Taoist temple, he already knew that this was Chanzhou, located near Luonan Road, in the Taihang Mountains behind Xiaoluo Mountain.

The Taoist temple was self-sufficient and there was almost no need to go down the mountain to purchase supplies. In the huge temple, there were only the Taoist priests who rarely lived in the temple before and the little mute Taoist priest. Gu Yue did not see anyone else inside.

He looked at the map in his hand, then looked at the position of the sun in the sky, and crouched down and crawled out of the bushes between two trees.

In front of me is a spacious official road. It is not crowded with people and vehicles, but it is definitely not deserted.

There were many guards with knives around the carriage to protect the owner and the goods. When they saw a man suddenly emerge from the bushes on the side of the road, they were all a little alert. Gu Yue looked at these people and was stunned for a moment, thinking of Shi San and the others.

I don’t know how they are doing now.

Gu Yue was not nervous when being watched by others. His appearance had changed and he had completely regained his identity. Even those who knew Lord Dun Xin well would only think that they just looked a little similar.

As for Gu Dashi's original appearance, it has nothing to do with it.

Moreover, without the restrictions brought by the disease, Gu Yue trained hard. This training did not start from the time he came back to life, but from two years ago. Gu Dashi was in good health and trained hard, but his foundation was not good. He was familiar with the fighting skills that Gu Xu taught him.

His original physical condition was not good due to his congenital heart disease, but it was much better than Gu Dashi.

Therefore, as long as he didn't meet someone who was determined to kill him, he was confident that he could run away.

There were no horses in the Taoist temple, and no one knew how the Taoists usually went up and down the mountain. Gu Yue walked south along the official road - he was going back to Luoyang. According to the time, Gu Xu should have returned to the capital.

After all, the main battlefield is still Luoyang and Yuning Prefecture, and the epidemic in Jiangnan Road is just a smokescreen for King Yin to introduce poisonous weeds and create chaos.

After walking along the official road for an hour, a large market appeared in front of us, which was close to the official road. The road split into two branches, and at the end of the other branch, a building could be seen vaguely.

Gu Yue stopped a person and asked, "Hello, is this Taihang Town?"

"That's right." The uncle who was stopped was very easy to talk to. "This is the market in Taihang Town. If you want to buy something, you don't have to go inside. People in the town set up stalls here. If you want to stay in a hotel, you have to go to the town."

"Thank you." Gu Yue clasped his fists.

The uncle was stunned. This man had a clean face and didn't look like a gangster, but he acted like a gangster.

Gu Yue had already left and was walking towards a place that looked like an inn.

The groom and gatekeeper at the gate saw him coming on foot and immediately came to greet him: "Sir, are you here to deliver a letter or rent a horse?"

Gu Yue was stunned. It turned out that the post station already had this kind of service.

That would be convenient. He said, "Let's rent a horse and go to Luoyang."

"Okay, five taels of silver as a deposit, and one hundred and fifty coins for the grass in Luoyang. You only want the horse, not the carriage, right?" The groom led him in. "Sir, it's a good time for you to go to Luoyang. I heard that the Western Di will send envoys to pay tribute and apologize. It will be quite exciting. There will also be some new things from the Western Regions."

Gu Yue didn't bother to listen to the second half of the news, and was speechless. He had forgotten about the deposit! This Taoist priest didn't even take the money bag back when he went to find Gu Dashi's body! He had no choice but to borrow money from the Taoist priest.

Where is the Taoist priest? A monk who has left home to practice Buddhism and the mute Taoist priest searched the temple with their butts raised, but they only found four taels of silver. The prices of local goods were not high, and Gu Yue thought that this money would be enough for him to reach Luoyang, but he didn't expect...

Seeing Gu Yue's silence, the groom's face changed, and his tone was obviously not so attentive: "Sir, do you want to rent it?"

"Do you have a bus to Luoyang?" Gu Yue asked. If you can't drive, you can take the bus.

"Taihang Town is too far from Luoyang, and there are no ox carts." The horseman said, "If you are in a hurry, why not go to those caravans that are resting and see if they are willing to give you a ride."

"Okay, thank you very much." Gu Yue bowed and left the post station in shame.

He was not afraid of being rejected, so he approached several caravans and asked politely, but was rejected by all of them. A captain of the caravan guards saw him asking around and explained, "It's not that we don't want to take you, but this is a caravan with a lot of goods, and you're a stranger, so basically no one is willing to take the risk."

Gu Yue expressed his understanding.

After leaving the caravan, he was really thirsty, so he found a tea stall to drink tea and filled up his water bag.

Do we have to walk to Luoyang? No, how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? What did the horseman say just now?

Gu Yue recalled carefully. It seemed that Xidi was going to come to Beiqin to pay tribute.

This paragraph is not in the original text. I think it is the butterfly effect caused by his time travel. How can such news help me?

Speaking of news, he couldn't help but think of Hangdou Bookstore.

There are branches of the town of Suhang all over northern Qin. Taihang Town is located at a transportation hub, a main road between the north and the south. Otherwise, how could a town be so prosperous? There must be a branch of Hangdou Bookstore in the town. Can't he just ask the bookstore owner to take a message to Luoyang?

But if he did so, his whereabouts would be exposed. If Zhen Suhang knew about it, Gu Xu would inevitably know about it too.

He hasn't decided whether to tell Gu Xu about his situation.

When he was still Gu Dashi, he and Gu Xu were very close, and they had a spiritual connection. He wanted to restore his identity very much, and even occasionally dreamed of his complete self and Gu Xu going through everything together. But after he really got what he wanted, he became timid.

He had been unwilling to get too close to Gu Xu as Gu Dashi, because he felt that it was unfair to him. Although Gu Dashi was deceived, he had abused Gu Xu for many years. With this identity, he was unwilling to let Gu Xu accept it. But now...

He was actually a stranger.

Gu Yue picked up the tea bowl with a broken corner and took a sip, thinking wistfully: This may involve the question of idealism or materialism, is it matter that determines consciousness or is it consciousness that determines matter?

Should he expect Gu Xu to be an idealist?

Just as he was lost in thought, something suddenly pressed against his ear. Then a large, thick tongue, spitting out rough air, swept away most of the tea in the teacup in his hand.

"Fuck!" Gu Yue was so scared that he smashed the other person's tea bowl.

The porcelain pieces fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The owner of the big tongue was also startled and took small steps back, knocking over several tea tables. The owner of the teahouse was horrified, and the people drinking tea around him also stood up in shock.

The white horse in the center of sight snorted, with a very innocent look in its eyes.
