Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 170 Buying a Knife

Night falls and the stars are shining.

The lights from the inn shone through the windows onto the street, forming patches of dim light.

However, to Erniu who was waiting anxiously, all this seemed so long and boring.

Because a long time has passed since Li Zhi went out during the day, but he has never come back.

This made Erniu feel a little worried, and his heart began to become more and more anxious. He kept pacing and looking outside the door from time to time, hoping to see Li Zhi appear.

As time passed, Erniu's worries grew stronger.

In the end, Erniu became so worried and unable to endure this torment that he decided to go out and look for Li Zhi himself.

He hurriedly picked up the package left by Li Zhi and walked out of the inn.

The streets at night were filled with a faint mist, and they were cold and deserted, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Erniu didn't know where Li Zhi had gone, so he could only search one place at a time, and slowly Erniu walked out of the town.

He walked carefully along one of the paths, keeping his eyes on the surroundings, fearing that he would miss Li Zhi's trace if he was not paying attention.

Just then, he heard a faint sound, like someone whispering.

Erniu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure staggering on the road ahead.

His heart tightened, and he immediately quickened his pace and rushed forward. When he saw the figure clearly, he couldn't help but gasp - it was Li Zhi!

Li Zhi was covered in blood. When he saw Erniu coming to look for him in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"What happened? Why are you covered in blood? Are you okay?" Erniu asked anxiously, his eyes full of concern and fear.

Li Zhi gently patted Erniu's hand that was supporting him, and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Take me to the stream ahead, I need to wash myself, otherwise if someone sees me covered in blood, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Erniu nodded, and hurriedly and carefully helped Li Zhi walk to the stream ahead.

Li Zhi simply washed the blood and dirt off his body, then took out a pill from the package brought by Erniu and stuffed it into his mouth.

Erniu originally wanted to ask Li Zhi what had happened, but when he saw Li Zhi close his eyes immediately after swallowing the pill, he quickly shut his mouth.

He once heard someone say that masters must not be disturbed in any way when practicing or healing, otherwise they might go astray.

Therefore, he swallowed the questions he wanted to ask and waited quietly beside Li Zhi, not daring to make a sound.

Time passed quietly like running water, and before we knew it, a faint pale light began to appear in the sky.

But it was already dawn.

At this time, Li Zhi let out a long breath, and his originally pale face regained some redness.

Erniu, who had not slept all night, stared at Li Zhi with a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked with concern: "Are you healed?"

Li Zhi nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "It's nothing serious."

After hearing Li Zhi's answer, Erniu finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face, muttering to himself: "It's good that everything is fine..."

Seeing the sincere concern on Erniu's face, Li Zhi felt a warm feeling in his heart and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, when Li Zhi left yesterday, he deliberately left a mosquito demon beside Erniu so that he could know his situation at any time.

After all, Li Zhi was not so confident in Erniu, so Li Zhi saw everything Erniu did last night.

Looking at Erniu in front of him, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Erniu is a pretty good person.

So Li Zhi asked, "Erniu, why do you want to go to Dongzhou?"

Erniu answered without hesitation: "Of course I hope to have a good future."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "With your skills, if you really go to the front line, it's hard to say whether you can survive, let alone have a good future."

Li Zhi had long discovered that Erniu did not know any martial arts skills, and even his strength was not that great. When he followed Li Zhi to the alley to catch those Chu spies, Li Zhi fought five of them alone. Erniu said he was helping Li Zhi, but in fact he was just going to get beaten.

For such an ordinary, common person, once he goes through the meat grinder of the battlefield, it would be difficult for him to come back alive.

Erniu opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but he racked his brains for a long time and couldn't think of anything to refute Li Zhi. In the end, he lowered his head helplessly.

Erniu said in a desolate voice: "What if I don't go to the battlefield...my brother and sister-in-law don't want me to stay at home...where can I go..."

At this moment, he heard Li Zhi say: "Let me teach you..."

Erniu suddenly raised his head, his face was full of disbelief at first, and then his eyes were full of surprise.

Looking at the excited Erniu, Li Zhi said, "Since you want to fight for your future on the battlefield, I will teach you how to fight!"

It was naturally impossible for Li Zhi to teach Erniu magic, because magic was not something that could be taught casually. Not to mention whether Erniu had the talent to learn magic, if Erniu really learned it, Xiaoyao Mountain would never sit idly by and watch someone who was not a disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain use Xiaoyao Mountain's magic.

Especially since Erniu was taught by Li Zhi, the biggest rebellious person in the history of Xiaoyao Mountain. When the Punishment Peak is dispatched, Li Zhi will have a hard time protecting himself, let alone Erniu.

So if you really teach Erniu magic, you are not helping him, but harming him.

Erniu scratched his head, looking puzzled. He asked a little embarrassedly: "What is a battle method?"

"The method of warfare is naturally born for warfare!"

Li Zhi spoke with great force.

Li Zhi was not just bragging to deceive Erniu, he really had experience in fighting. You should know that he had fought many battles in the world of the Mind-Seeing Mirror, so it was not false to say that he was experienced.

Li Zhi is also very clear about the tricks on the battlefield.

Under the leadership of Li Zhi, Erniu came to an iron shop in the town with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.

The air here is filled with the smell of metal, and you can faintly hear the crackling of burning fire.

Yongguo did not ban the use of weapons, but only armor, so there were many swords, spears, swords and halberds placed in the iron shop.

All kinds of weapons flashed coldly in the dim light.

If you ask which weapon is the most useful on the battlefield, the knife would definitely be at the top of the list.

Li Zhi knew this very well, so after he entered, he did not ask Erniu what weapon he liked, but directly and decisively picked a knife and handed it to Erniu.

Erniu held the knife that Li Zhi bought for him in his arms, as if he were holding a precious treasure, and walked out of the iron shop carefully.

"Brother Zhou, this knife is too expensive. How about I make do with a piece of wood first..." Erniu looked at the knife in his arms, his face full of heartache and reluctance, and couldn't help but say to Li Zhi.

This knife costs one hundred taels!

What does one hundred taels mean? Erniu's own family only spends thirty taels a year!

Li Zhi patted Erniu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. As long as you can study hard and achieve great things in the future, I will be satisfied."

A knife costs one hundred taels, which Li Zhi actually thinks is quite expensive.

But he is wealthy now, so he doesn't need the hundred taels.
