After becoming a disciple of the Pope

"I know this small city is too small for you, and I won't stop you if you want to go out and see the world." Old Tao said earnestly, "But the Liaoyuan Mountains are quite dangerous, let alone the jungle of alien beasts , you go out alone, everything can only depend on yourself, have you thought it through clearly?"

Ye Shaoqing was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and firmly: "Actually, since I read those books, I have the idea of ​​going to more places, seeing different scenery, seeing rarer animals, and practicing more rare beasts." Strong magic, but the current life is too comfortable, I have been hesitating, but now, I have a reason to go."

It was autumn, and the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves and fell on the steps, and fell on Lao Tao's shoulders.He twirled a withered yellow leaf, shook his head, showed a sad expression, and walked back to the room step by step, muttering: "I'm old, I'm old, I don't have the vigor and vitality of your young people..."

Looking at his gray hair and thin back, Ye Shaoqing felt more stooped, and forced a smile: "Where is it, your body is very strong."

In silence, Lao Tao dug out an old wooden box from the deepest part of the cabinet. The paint on the edges had long been peeled and faded, exuding a musty smell that hadn't seen the sun all year round.He brushed off the thick layer of ash on it, and took out a palm-sized black bag hidden in it.

He lifted the bag upside down and shook it on the table, and a lot of things fell out, piled up on the table like a hill, far exceeding the volume that the bag could carry.

Ye Shaoqing blinked and asked, "A different-dimensional pocket?"

"What yuan?" Old Tao gave him a blank look, and explained, "This is a storage pouch, made of the skin of a Vientiane beast, it can hold many things, but remember not to put any living things in it, or it will die. This is I used it when I was traveling far away, and it was dusty when I kept it, so I gave it to you."

As he said that, he picked up the shaken items one by one, and patiently explained them one by one: "This is a fire flint, two of which can be rubbed together to make a fire. This is a compressed sleeping bag and a simple tent, made of dohide Made of fur and rope, blowing air into this trachea will automatically inflate. There is also this tranquilizer gun, once shot, it can put the beast into a coma state, but the ammunition is only ten rounds. In addition, it is Insect repellant spray, portable seasoning, folding tableware, umbrella, water bottle..."

Ye Shaoqing was stunned, and watched him stuff a lot of messy things into his pockets, which were all necessary items for long-distance travel, and even the smallest details were considered.

In the end, Lao Tao weighed the bag, handed it to him, and said, "It's almost full. If you need anything else, tell me."

"It's not bad." Although there are many things in it, the pocket is still very light, but Ye Shaoqing is holding it in both hands, feeling that it weighs more than a thousand catties, and his heart is heavy.

Lao Tao and Wen Qingze were the two people who treated him best when he came to this different world, and they were determined to leave. Thinking of seeing each other in the future and not knowing how long it would be, his heart felt sour, and his sadness and reluctance almost overflowed.

"Why do you show such an expression?" Old Tao laughed heartily, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't be coy, old man, I can live for many years, old man, there will be opportunities to meet again in the future, don't worry go."

Ye Shaoqing responded in a low voice, put her pocket in her pocket, greeted A Cai at the door, and left with the little fox in her arms.

After walking a few steps, he couldn't help turning his head, and saw Old Tao standing by the door, the wrinkles on his face were deeper than the veins of dead leaves, as if he suddenly remembered something, Yaoyao told him: "The weather is getting colder and colder." , remember to bring more thick clothes, don’t get sick.”

Ye Shaoqing was startled suddenly, remembering that Lao Tao's wife had died young and had no children, and after being together for such a long time, he already regarded himself as a relative.

He stopped, turned around suddenly, walked back quickly, trotted to this thin old man, and gently hugged the old man: "I will never forget your care during these days. I will come back to see you, Bye now."

Lao Tao watched his back disappear all the way at the end of the path. After a long time, he took off his glasses, wiped away the cloudy fog in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "Stinky boy, come back soon..."

A circle of bushes was planted around the fence in the small courtyard of the house. Ye Shaoqing squatted in the bushes and weeded bushes one by one. The cut weeds were picked up by the autumn wind and scattered in a whirl.After cleaning up the yard, he went back to the house and did a thorough cleaning, tidying up everything that could be tidied up - in the future when he is not around, Wen Qingze will be able to relax by himself.

I don't know if there is some wonderful coincidence somewhere, Wen Qingze came back very early today, when Ye Shaoqing was packing his luggage, he had a face-to-face meeting unsuspectingly.

"...What are you doing?" Wen Qingze took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, turned his head to look at the things in his hand, and frowned suspiciously.

Ye Shaoqing spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to say goodbye so that it would not be too sudden. She never thought that the development of the world is always unexpected.

Putting things down and putting them aside, he brushed his messy bangs and explained, "Well... I'm going to take a long trip."

"Far door? How far?" Wen Qingze glanced at him in surprise, thinking that the other party had something to do, then bent over to change his shoes, and asked, "How long will it be? You are not familiar with the outside of the city. If it is not a long time, I can accompany you." you go."

Ye Shaoqing smiled, and said in a low voice: "The place I'm going to is the Liaoyuan Mountains, maybe even further away, and I don't know how long it will take, but it will be a long time, I'm afraid you won't be able to accompany me."

Wen Qingze paused, then looked up at him again, his surprised expression was replaced by a dazed look, and after a while, he finally realized: "You...you are leaving?"

Ye Shaoqing nodded solemnly: "I'm going to find the Chi Liao Beast in the Liaoyuan Mountains, and see the outside world by the way."

Wen Qingze froze slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "Will you come back?"

"Yes." Ye Shaoqing smiled and said, "There is always a banquet in the world. If there is fate, we will definitely meet again. I will take the little fox with me. If you meet Mr. Zhou in the future, let him rest assured."

"When to set off?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wen Qingze nodded, went back to the kitchen in silence, and packed some marinated dried meat and food that could be preserved for a long time overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, a thin mist hung over the sunlight.Wen Qingze greeted the morning light and silently sent him out.

Walking to the door, Wen Qingze held up an ice-blue water drop in his palm and put it in front of the young man.

"This is?" Ye Shaoqing took a closer look, the water droplet was only the size of a thumb, and there was a faint wave of mental power emanating from it.

"I condensed this with my mental strength. If something important happens, crush it. No matter how far away it is, it can transmit information, but it's a one-off." Following Wen Qingze's words, the water droplets on the palm It rose slowly, and when touched by his fingertips, it instantly turned into a delicate ice-blue button, attached to Ye Shaoqing's collar.

"Thank you."

"If..." Wen Qingze originally wanted him to pay attention to his two separated younger brothers, but thinking of the vast crowd, they may not even know each other, so he hesitated for a moment, then retracted his words.

Ye Shaoqing walked out of the house where he had lived for several months with the little fox in his arms, and turned around and said, "There is no need to send it away."

"Actually, I knew for a long time that you would leave sooner or later, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon." Tucking a strand of hair hanging from his sideburns behind his ears, Wen Qingze watched gently with his eyes behind the glasses. He whispered two simple words: "Take care."

"I will, and you too." Ye Shaoqing walked a certain distance, kept walking, raised one arm, and waved lightly with two fingers together.

Seeing his gesture, Wen Qingze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered to himself: "Goodbye, I hope to see you again one day..."

There are not many pedestrians on the street in the morning, and the sky is gray, which looks particularly depressed in autumn.

Before Ye Shaoqing left, he specially went to the pawnshop to redeem the old pen that was pawned back then. Looking at the small characters engraved on it, he vaguely felt that it had something to do with Yuanshen's life experience. He was not interested in looking for any relatives. Hope it doesn't cause trouble.

The little fox squatted on Ye Shaoqing's shoulders, with two fluffy tails wrapping around his neck, as if wearing a fur scarf.

"Thanks to the storage bag that Lao Tao sent, otherwise you alone would be heavy enough to carry luggage." Ye Shaoqing unfolded the map that Wen Qingze gave him, on which the shortest route was marked with a red pen, There are also relatively safe places on the road where you can stay, but only near the Liaoyuan Mountains, and no matter how far away, you can only sleep in the wild.

It is a long way to go to the Liaoyuan Mountains. If you only rely on your legs, you may have to walk forever.Fortunately, the long-distance transportation in another world has also lit up the technology tree, otherwise Ye Shaoqing really doesn't know what to do.Although there are no planes or trains here, there are cloud boats in the air, and unicorn horses and long snake carts on land.Ye Shaoqing now has a small amount of savings, so he did not hesitate to choose Yunzhou, which sounds very fantasy.

After inquiring about the fastest next boat at the distribution station outside the city, Ye Shaoqing lined up to board the boat with the flow of people.As the name suggests, Yunzhou is a boat flying in the clouds. There are ten huge eagles pulling the iron chain, and the other end is firmly connected to the hull.

Ye Shaoqing raised his head and looked up at the blue-winged and white-feathered giant eagles. If the other passengers and objects around him were not in normal condition, he almost felt like he had instantly become a dwarf in the Lilliputian.

Either he became smaller, or that Teng Ying was really too big, so big that when he spread his wings, he would cover the sky and block out the sun. Pulling the cloud boat into the sky, everything on the land became smaller and smaller, and the river became a thin white line. The city has also become a white spot in the dark green forest.

The cloud boat went straight into the sea of ​​clouds, and soon, the field of vision was filled with bright light again, the sun was no longer above their heads, and the oars on both sides moved one after another, paddling in the endless sea of ​​clouds, like a nimble fish, Like a jumping bird.

Ye Shaoqing leaned on the railing, resting his chin on one hand, and looked at this rare scenery with interest. Most of the strong wind in the sky was blocked by the protective ring of the cloud boat, and the rest still blew his hair. They danced wildly, raised the corners of their windbreakers, and made a sound of hunting.

At the speed of Yunzhou, it took ten days to fly before arriving at the city called Heichuan, which is the closest to the Liaoyuan Mountains.

Liaoyuan Prefecture is the southernmost province of the empire, and Heichuan City is the capital of this state. It is backed by the Liaoyuan Mountains and the edge of the alien jungle. Heaven.

——Of course, the dense population gathered here is also the highest priority target when the beast tide comes.

Ye Shaoqing was not in the mood to play for the time being, so he took the little fox to rest in the city overnight, changed to a unicorn the next day, and continued on his way according to the map.Going south along the official road, after passing through several small towns, the population became less and less dense. After another five days, Ye Shaoqing, who was busy all the way, finally saw the iconic fiery red maple forest in the Liaoyuan Mountains.
