Seeing that he started to hold his head again, Zhou Yan quickly pulled off a ginseng root in his hand and fed it to him.
Xiao Yu chewed it subconsciously, and suddenly his expression became weird: (⊙_⊙)... It tastes so bad!
"Don't vomit." Zhou Yan warned.
Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Yan with tears in his eyes, swallowing painfully the saliva that made his scalp numb. Who would tell him why ginseng tasted so bad?
It took Xiao Yu a long time to finally get used to the bitter and earthy taste in his mouth.
While Xiao Yu was adjusting to the ginseng and easing his headache, Zhou Yan quickly ate the remaining porridge and three roasted sweet potatoes. He was about to offer Xiao Yu one, but someone with a distorted expression refused.
After dinner, Zhou Yanzhi quickly packed up his things and handed Xiao Yu his warm cotton coat.
Xiao Yu looked at the cotton coat and put it on quickly.
☆
After the man was dressed, Zhou Yan took a wolfskin and wrapped him up again. "You had a fever recently, so you can't be exposed to the wind." Then he strode out with the man on his back. He finally covered the cave entrance with some dry vines.
Xiao Yu was carried through the forest and was surprised to find that the spiritual energy in this cold and gloomy forest was unexpectedly "rich", and he breathed in and out subconsciously.
By the time he felt some spiritual power rapidly accumulating in his body, he was already being carried into a forest beside a mountain road.
Zhou Yan probably wanted to hide him, so he didn't choose to take the ready-made road. Instead, he followed the mountain road and shuttled through the forest.
Xiao Yu lay quietly on the man's back, and the occasional pedestrians on the road frightened him. These people were too thin, and many of them looked like skin and bones.
They wore ragged clothes, carried baskets on their backs, or used courage, or held crutches made of wooden sticks, and staggered along the mountain road mixed with snow and mud.
If it wasn't broad daylight, he felt that he would be scared if he saw these people in the middle of the night.
This isn't famine yet, is it?
☆
Xiao Yu thought carefully and realized that in his memories, the Xiao family head had become like this since he moved here. Whenever he got angry, he looked like a skeleton ready to eat people. Even the son of his "sister" was a skinny little carrot.
The reason why he didn't lose so much weight was because the mistress of the Xiao family was calculating and gave her son special treatment every day.
Xiao Yu thought about the information, and it seemed that the heroine had discovered the poverty of the people here and "made a fortune" through merit. She had carved some simple wooden plaques in a mysterious way, and whenever she sent prey or space supplies to people of good character, she would also include the wooden plaques.
Those who benefited from her quickly became her followers, and she quickly accumulated merits, and her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
When he was forced to leave the village by his family, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
However, in this chaotic era when many powerful figures were hiding, she also used this to kill many enemies. She later used her powerful spiritual sense to capture many spies and criminals, ultimately accumulating considerable merit.
Of course, the greatest merit belongs to Zhou Yan's family.
☆
Xiao Yu wondered whether he should do something and learn from the heroine to accumulate some merit.
Merit?
Huh?
Why?
Xiao Yu was just thinking about his merits when he came across a dilapidated, but clearly cleaned, land temple on the hillside. The temple was only two or three square meters in size, with stone walls outside and two broken statues enshrined inside.
If you don't look closely, you might think it was something built by filial sons and grandsons in later generations.
Xiao Yu tried to mobilize the divine seal to test it out. As soon as the divine seal moved, it absorbed hundreds of wisps of incense, half of which flew to Zhou Yan who was carrying him on his back.
Xiao Yu: (⊙o⊙)…
☆
Zhou Yan jogged with Xiao Yu on his back for more than two hours. Even though Xiao Yu was only a little over 1.7 meters tall and frail, he gradually showed signs of fatigue.
But just now, a cool breeze suddenly flew into his brow, and his fatigue disappeared instantly, and even his physical strength seemed to have increased slightly.
Zhou Yanzhi suddenly stopped, put Xiao Yu down, and looked at him seriously: "What did you just do?"
Xiao Yu was a little confused.
Zhou Yan paused and explained, "Just now, something flew into my forehead, and then I regained my strength."
Xiao Yu was surprised. Was the power of incense so strong? Why didn't he feel anything?
He subconsciously looked towards the land temple above and behind him.
"Land God Temple?"
Xiao Yu nodded.
Zhou Yan stared at Xiao Yu. Although he was a little bit unbelievable, he thought that this man was a fool before, but suddenly he became better and even had the ability to predict the future, helping him escape from other people's calculations.
Could this person be some kind of monster?
Xiao Yu suddenly had an idea and wrote on the snow on the ground: I am the God of the Land.
Zhou Yan: -_-||...You're admitting it so openly? Aren't you afraid of being burned like a demon?
After writing, Xiao Yu stood up, looked at the other person with his bright eyes, and motioned Zhou Yan to look at the ground.
Zhou Yan wasn't blind. Meeting those bright, innocent eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. He lifted his foot to touch the words on the ground and picked the person up.
If the land gods are so stupid, it’s no wonder that Shinto is destroyed!
Land God: ╭(╯^╰)╮Stupidity is your family’s business and has nothing to do with us.
Mountain God: ╭(╯^╰)╮That’s right.
☆
The power of the hundreds of incense sticks seemed to be of some use. Xiao Yu realized belatedly that during the rest of the journey, he absorbed more spiritual energy through breathing.
Not only that, he could also mobilize the power of the divine seal and use the shrinking technique passed down by the land god. After two shrinking techniques, the two appeared outside a dilapidated town.
