    The old man said: "Bai Wuyi is a scholar. He is nearly half a century old and the road to hell is close. What kind of inner strength does this coward have to learn? Go back."

    Chen Lu felt as if someone had let go of him, and he staggered forward two steps.  Listen to the sound, the old man seems to know everything.  The old man's words stimulated Chen Lu. Yes, the road to hell is close to him, so what else is there to be afraid of?  Want to be frightened by a toad?

    Chen Lu turned around, walked to the toad in a few steps, closed his eyes, worked hard, and grabbed it hard. His hands felt greasy and dirty, and said to the old man: "Master, I caught it."

    "If I catch you, I'll catch you. Why don't you call me master? If you scream again, I'll kick you out."

    "Yes, Master."

    "Get out!"

    "Okay, stop talking, Master."

    "Hey, forget it, bring the toad."

    Chen Lu handed it over with his eyes closed.  The old man shouted angrily: "Is this a toad? Open your eyes and see for yourself, then get out."

    Chen Lu was a sixth-rank official in the Celestial Dynasty. When an ordinary citizen saw him, he would be frightened and determined. Most of them would have already sifted the chaff. "The parents (county magistrate) who confiscated the house, the Dayin (prefect) who exterminated the family", this  The common people all understand this, but this old man treats Chen Lu like a slave.

    Chen Lu understood that this was not an ordinary person, definitely not.  He knew that the old man was testing himself, and it didn't matter. Since ancient times, there were Zhang Liang picking up shoes and Cheng Menli Xue. How can I, Chen Zicheng, be inferior to the ancients?

    But when Chen Lu opened his eyes, he was holding a flower snake as thick as a spear shaft in his hand. He was afraid but did not dare to show it, so he handed it to the old man calmly.

    The old man said: "Let it go and catch the green-eyed toad."

    Chen Lu loudly agreed "yes".  He was emboldening himself, and he needed to be emboldened.  It also takes courage to be brave, especially to be brave for yourself.  After he finished speaking, he stared at the green light, grabbed it, and looked at it carefully. This time it was right.

    He knows very well that this is a psychological effect.  Everyone is afraid of tigers, leopards, jackals, demons and ghosts, that is inevitable.  Being afraid of these little things, mice, bugs, toads, and snakes, is all psychological.  Chen Lu overcame himself and defeated himself. He thanked the old man.

    Chen Lu felt that the old man was also observing his every move.  Chen Lu had completely calmed down, walked over to the toad calmly, and asked calmly: "Master, where do you put it?" Seeing that the old man ignored him, he put it on the stone table next to the old man. The toad was lying on the stone table.  He was motionless and had closed his eyes.

    The old man said: "You can do it yourself, it's time for me to eat."

    After finishing speaking, he sat on the stone bench, picked up a bamboo stick, cut the toad in half at once, picked it up and put it on the plate, cut the bamboo stick into thin slices, and took another bamboo stick.  Just like a fork, put a piece of toad meat into your mouth, chew it slowly, with a satisfied look on your face.  Then he poured some liquid into the teapot on the stone table, and Chen Lu smelled a pungent sour smell.

    The old man drank a glass, smacked his lips, and started eating and drinking happily as if no one else was around.

    Chen Lu only felt that his internal organs were shaking, and he turned his face to one side.

    The old man may have had enough to eat and drink, so he said, "Come here."

    Chen Lu hurried over and the old man said: "There is a toad's leg here. Throw it into the basket. It will be where you are now. You are not allowed to move forward."

    Chen Lu couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. Is this old man a pervert? After eating the toad, he just threw the leg casually and insisted on throwing it into the basket.  Forget it, just throw it away.

    He picked up the toad leg that was still dripping with blood, turned around and wanted to throw it away.  At this moment, he found nine baskets lined up side by side. Which one should he throw into?  He looked back at the old man, who seemed to have fallen asleep.  Forget it, throw it away, and put whatever you like into it.

    When Chen Lu was about to throw them away, he realized that the mouths of these baskets were too small. He wanted to take a step forward, but just like before, he couldn't take a step forward.  At this time, light was emitted from the openings of the nine baskets, and the light emitted by each basket was different.

    Chen Lu took a closer look and saw that the nine baskets were all labeled with Chinese characters that read "First Level, Second Levelall the way to Ninth Level".  He didn't know whether the word was pronounced "worm" or "public".  Regardless of him, the nine baskets are all empty anyway, so just put in whichever one you like.

    So he threw it away casually, and the toad's leg suddenly lit up, like a Cuju, flipping over and falling into a basket.  At this time, the basket emitted light, and the word "ÈýÖØ" on the label flickered on and off. The light dimmed little by little, and the other wordsThe light at the opening of the basket also went out.

    Chen Lu felt like he was being pulled. He looked around, but there was nothing. He just felt like something was missing. Looking at his whole body, there was nothing wrong. He was nervous!  He cursed self-deprecatingly.

    At this time, Chen Lu discovered that there were still two green lights shining on him in the "triple" basket. He tried to move forward. He could move. When he walked closer, he saw that it was clearly the toad; it was clearly the toad that Chen Lu had just caught.  The one in front of me was clearly the one that the old man had just eaten.

    Chen Lu completely understood, turned around, and shouted loudly: "Master is really an expert outside the world, disciple, what is your surname?"

    "Toad!"

    "May I ask your master's name?"

    "Toad, are you deaf? I told you not to call me master, and you're still screaming! Get out!"

    A strong push pushed Chen Lu down.

    When the fourth watch arrived, Ha San pushed him and he woke up.

    Ha San saw Chen Lu sleeping in his clothes. The clothes seemed to have been soaked by the rain, but the quilt was still dry. He knew that there was some reason and did not dare to say anything.  Chen Lu took off his cloak and let out an "ah" sound.

    Chen Lu asked: "What's wrong, brother?"

    Ha San¡¯s expression changed and he pointed at Chen Lu¡¯s belt.  When Chen Lu looked at it, a vertical line was gone, and the vertical line that was missing a piece had completely disappeared. This meant that his life span had been shortened by another twenty days. How could it be reduced so much all at once?  He was startled for a moment, it was the old man.  No wonder I felt like I was missing something at that time.  This old toad is waiting for me to settle the score with you.  He smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

    Ha San wanted to ask what happened at night, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

    Chen Lu went to the big tent to have breakfast and expressed his worries. He was afraid that he would miss the deadline and must speed up the march.  Prepare water here and use the truck to pull some ice cubes in case you need it.  Everyone set out at five o'clock, prepared enough dry food, and walked to Buji River. Everyone added some water and ice and continued moving forward.

    After traveling for more than forty miles, we encountered vast stretches of gravel and boundless wilderness.  The outpost reported that there was no human habitation within a hundred miles.  This is not a desert area yet. It is all rough gravel like river pebbles. It is difficult for people and horses to move. There is no trace of snow. Dead horse skeletons can be seen everywhere, as well as human and camel skeletons.

    The unobstructed northwest wind hit the mission unbridled.  The sun was still shining brightly in the sky, but it couldn't bring out any warmth. Even if everyone wanted to take shelter from the northwest wind, there was no place to hide.

    "It's obvious that this is a death zone.  Li Da ordered to speed up, pass through this place, and camp where there is water.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
