71. Journey and Shura Field (5.3K words - thanks to the leader, Brother Qiu)
A few days later.
early morning...
The warm sunshine shines on every household in Taohua County.
In front of the Song Mansion, the carriage was parked quietly, and sparse shadows fell slantingly on the stone road.
Many people in Taohua County know that this uncle and Miss Song are about to travel far to enjoy the sweet life after their marriage.
Sitting on the driver's seat of the carriage was a giant man nearly two meters tall.
The giant man sat respectfully, wearing a big bamboo hat that covered his forehead, and said nothing.
According to Miss Xiaomei, this giant man is her ghost slave. Although he is in an extremely weak state now, his state is still at the level of the sixth martial arts realm. He belongs to the category of carry-on items, not counting heads, so the number of people traveling is still four.
There are not five people.
And this ghost slave Baishan had seen him before. He was the one who "held up the show" and "covered his eyes with a black cloth" on the first floor of the ancient pavilion when the Song family was looking for a son-in-law.
As for why they are not dispatched in full force, it is because there is too much movement and too strong aura, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
...
Bai Miaochan got in the car first.
The children in the old house have made arrangements, and Baishan left a hundred taels of silver, as well as a lot of meat and rice.
She greeted the patrolmen.
On the other side of Baishan Mountain, the tiger demon in the mountain was told to come and protect these children when they encountered a big crisis.
In addition, Han Yang, Zhu Yu, and Lu Qi also have backgrounds in the "Nanfeng Xiaoniao Fist" martial arts school.
After the Panshan Bandit Incident, the status of this martial arts school in Taohua County has improved.
In this way, with this triple relationship, both overt and covert, she doesn't have to worry too much.
...
Baishan took out the martial arts order and handed it to Butler Wang.
Although his martial arts order is fake, the "annual information update" stipulated by the Daqian Dynasty still needs to be done.
If he goes overseas, the task of "updating information" will be left to Butler Wang.
After returning from overseas, he will retrieve the martial arts order.
After all, the martial arts order is the status symbol of a true warrior. Having this thing may not be able to help you much, but without it, you will be in big trouble.
After giving the martial arts order, he got on the carriage.
In the car, Bai Miaochan was sitting on the left side, so he subconsciously wanted to sit next to her.
Bai Miaochan's eyes were filled with autumn waves, and with a smile, she made an "X" with her hands and said, "Sit across from me."
Baishan:???
Bai Miaochan said: "Sit close to me. Where will Ning Ning sit when she comes up?"
Bai Shan said: "She won't sit on me."
Bai Miaochan smiled and said: "Then rely on me. Let me, a good sister-in-law, help you."
Bai Shan didn't say much and sat directly on the right side.
...
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the car again.
The woman in red had a charming look on her face and blurred eyes. She grabbed Miss Song in brocade and walked to the carriage.
Mrs. Song seemed to be very afraid of Xiaomei, so she obediently stepped onto the imperial seat...
This is also normal. Once you see Xiaomei without rouge and gouache, you will definitely be scared.
Wow...
Mrs. Song opened the curtain of the carriage and got into the carriage. She glanced at her husband sitting on the right and felt that she had a complicated mood. She hurriedly turned her head away to avoid any eye contact with the man, and then hurried to the left
The girl in brocade clothes walked beside him.
"Sister-in-law..." she called softly.
Bai Miaochan took out a candy from her pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile: "The journey is long, the carriage is bumpy, and it's easy to get dizzy, but eating a candy will make it much better."
Song Youning looked at it with a look of disgust in her eyes. These cheap candies looked disgusting, but she didn't want to make a bad sister-in-law, so she took the candies politely, but didn't eat them. She just grabbed them in her hand.
Baishan didn't care about them, he leaned back slightly, closed his eyes and rested.
For him, the end of this journey is the true starting point of the journey.
Only after arriving in the Kingdom of Ice and Fire will everything really begin, and by then you will inevitably encounter many troubles and challenges.
Outside the car, Miss Xiaomei seemed to be still whispering to the owner of the house, Uncle Han, Mr. Wang, and Old Mrs. Suture. She didn't know what they were talking about. She didn't get in the car until after a while of burning incense.
As soon as she got on the bus, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Mrs. Song was not sitting with her uncle, so she did her duty and sat down next to Bai Shan and started to "recharge".
Baishan was speechless. Although he didn't mind providing Yang Qi to Miss Xiaomei, she was still sitting opposite.
Although he and Song Youning have different personalities and their marriage is not what you and I want, they are indeed called husband and wife, and they are actually husband and wife...
So, he moved to the side calmly and drew an invisible line on the seat with his finger, indicating that "anyone who crosses my boundary will be punished no matter how far away".
But as soon as he finished drawing, Miss Xiaomei twisted her waist, stuck out her butt, and sat directly over the line he drew. At the same time, her hands went around his arms and wrapped them directly up. In this way... By increasing the contact area
, can increase "charging efficiency".
Although Bai Shan knew what she meant, he was still confused. He said softly: "Miss Mei, this is not good."
Xiaomei Nuonuo said: "Okay."
"Then I'm telling you now, this is not allowed."
"I asked the lady and she said it's okay."
Baishan was stunned for a moment.
He knew that the "young lady" in Xiaomei's mouth was naturally not Song Youning, but the boss in Song Youning's body.
For that mysterious "young lady", it is quite normal for subordinates who "can provide yang energy" and subordinates who "need yang energy" to be together.
But...
Bai Miaochan coughed lightly and said, "Baishan, Ningning is going to be angry."
Before Bai Shan could say anything, the little slut laughed like a goose. She turned her head and looked at Miss Song, and said in a charming voice: "Miss Song, are you angry?"
Song Youning was stunned for a moment, his face turned a little pale, and he did not dare to look at her, but he shook his head like a rattle to show that he was not angry.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was a little inexplicably cold.
It seems that the Shura Field has suddenly arrived.
Snapped!!
With the sound of fried beans and the sound of a whip, the two brown horses pulling the carriage stepped forward and drove the carriage away.
Bai Miaochan opened the curtain and poked her head slightly. The morning light shone from the outside, illuminating her whole body as if it was emitting a soft golden light.
She waved and said goodbye, and at the end of the road to the Song family there were many children from old houses, including Han Yang, Zhu Yu, Hua Xiaoshuang, and Lu Qi...
The children also waved from a distance.
As the carriage gradually moved away and rounded the corner, Bai Miaochan lowered the curtain.
Song Youning next to you said softly: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."
She doesn't hate Bai Miaochan, because although Bai Miaochang is also a citizen of Taohua County, she is really "stunning" and "noble" in appearance, just like a fairy in the sky, and is completely out of tune with this run-down county.
She couldn't dislike this warm girl's temper no matter what.
Hearing this, Bai Miaochan smiled and said, "I'm no good. Just ask your husband-in-law. When eating meat, I often grab it and never leave it for him."
Song Youning didn't even look at the young man sitting opposite, and subconsciously ignored the words "your husband", but said: "I also like to eat meat, sister-in-law, you have never eaten the meat of spiritual animals brought by immortals."
, that kind of meat is delicious even when eaten raw.
But I’m not used to eating it raw, so I usually fry it until it’s halfway done, and then sprinkle it with salt particles from Yanzhou Haizhenfang Tegon, and crushed black pepper and chopped tomatoes from Yizhou Yunshang Farm Tegon.
Although the things in these two places are not as good as the things brought by the immortals, there is nothing we can do about it... Well, who makes us mortals."
Bai Miaochan carefully glanced at the young man sitting opposite with his eyes closed and meditating, and said: "Ning Ning, I don't think the immortal's food is necessarily that good. When eating, you should eat with your relatives. That's the right thing.
It’s delicious, otherwise it will be tasteless no matter how fragrant it is.”
Song Youning's eyes widened and she retorted directly: "Not at all."
Bai Miaochan said: "How nice it is to eat with your relatives, free, unconstrained, and happy. If you are an immortal, you must be very restricted in that kind of place. Even if you eat something, you have to be controlled, and you are on tenterhooks.
Yes, what’s the point?”
Song Youning snorted and said: "Immortals are good, everything is good. I would rather be on tenterhooks next to the immortal than..."
Before she could finish her words, the little slut interrupted her directly.
The pair of peach blossom eyes opened, with a smile and a stern look inside, "Immortal? Immortal? He kept saying it. Can you name another immortal and try it?"
Song Youning felt a chill and felt a little discouraged, but immediately a surge of anger surged into his heart. Immortals are good, good at everything, so noble, so carefree, so just, killing demons and demons everywhere, these unclean evils
Why do things dare to blaspheme the immortals?
Huh! That means the immortals haven’t found them yet.
When we find them, let’s see if they can still laugh?!
But she didn't dare to get angry at Miss Xiaomei, so she leaned towards Bai Miaochan, and after finding "aunt's protection", she faced Bai Shan who was closing her eyes to rest, and said with a somewhat arrogant and calm smile:
"Bai Shan, you are only sixteen and have reached the fifth realm of martial arts. It is not easy. However, in Daqian Capital, there are a lot of people with your level, and they are all queuing up, waiting to apply for the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'
of.
How about it? Do you want my help? I just need to say the last sentence and you can get a 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'.
In this way, you can reach the sixth level of martial arts, and you don't need to brag to me that you have killed people in the I Ching Marrow Cleansing Level."
Bai Miaochan frowned in a rare way and said angrily: "Ning Ning, how can you talk like this?"
Song Youning said softly: "Am I wrong? This is the truth."
Bai Miaochan said solemnly: "Your husband-in-law killed all the Panshan Bandits. Two masters among the Panshan Bandits were in the I Ching Marrow Cleansing Realm you mentioned, but they were also killed by your husband. The county had previously said that they would build a mountain temple.
, this mountain god is also your husband-in-law."
Song Youning stretched her long legs tightly together, twisted her delicate body, leaned slightly towards Bai Miaochan, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, the Panshan robbers can't be defeated by a mob. There can't be such a master among them. You can't tell such an obvious lie."
Can't you hear it?
Besides... In the five realms of Baishan District, if one were trapped in the Panshan Bandit Village, he would probably have died long ago, and it would be impossible to exterminate the bandits.
And I actually know that the truth is that people from another government circled back to attack the mountain and wiped out the bandits. This has nothing to do with Baishan.
But fortunately it doesn't matter, otherwise...if this mountain temple is erected, the imperial court will definitely investigate it. The imperial court is most taboo about these wild gods. When the time comes and it is found out that the troublemaker behind it is Baishan, then Baishan will be finished."
Bai Miaochan's voice became a little cold: "Ning Ning, what you said is too much! I'm really angry!"
Song Youning finished speaking in one breath, feeling that her thoughts were clear and her heart was at ease. After hearing her sister-in-law's words, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then glanced at the smiling woman with peach blossom eyes and red clothes opposite her. She hummed softly, but she didn't dare
Moreover.
Bai Miaochan glanced at her brother carefully.
The young man was leaning against the compartment wall with his eyes closed, as if he was fast asleep.
The carriage hub flew between the stone slabs, driving the cold wind from both sides.
The breathable curtains are also moved up and down, letting in the wind and sunlight.
But the brightness of the sun could not illuminate the depths of the darkness, nor could it illuminate the face of the sleeping boy.
Bai Miaochan slightly opened the curtain behind her, glanced at the road outside, and then said: "Miss Mei, stop at the corner ahead, let's take down the tea leaves."
Xiaomei nodded.
She didn't say anything, but the ghost slave stopped at the corner.
Bai Miaochan got out of the car and came back shortly after dragging a big bag filled with loose tea leaves.
However, the ghost slave also went to help. He went back and forth twice and brought back five big bags.
Xiaomei said in surprise: "Miss Bai, this bag is probably dozens of kilograms, right?"
Bai Miaochan said: "Fifty jins, here are six big bags, a total of 300 jins."
Xiaomei was even more surprised: "Why did you buy so much tea?"
Bai Miaochan said: "I have discussed with Bai Shan that if the staple food in the Ice and Fire Kingdom is mutton, it will definitely be very greasy, and tea will relieve greasiness. Since we live there for a long time, we naturally have to buy more and take it with us. Moreover, these tea leaves are also
It can help us better integrate into the local area.”
Xiaomei:......
She had never thought of such a thing.
No... not only has she never thought about it, but probably no one in the entire "Song Mansion" would consider the problem from this perspective.
Bai Miaochan went back and forth once, panting a little. She came close to Bai Shan and pushed him, "Wake up and pack the tea leaves."
Bai Shan opened his eyes, took out the mustard bag and put three hundred kilograms of tea leaves in it.
At the same time, he checked the contents of the bag.
During this time, Sister Miaomiao was not idle, she was constantly shopping everywhere.
Now, after some changes, the items in his mustard bag have also been updated.
details as follows:
508 pounds of meat;
68 ten-jin jars hold spirits, 20 ten-jin jars hold hundred-flower wine, and 8 ten-jin jars hold willow leaf roast;
80 bags of 10 kilograms of rice, the total price is 300 taels of silver;
300 kilograms of tea leaves, the total price is 200 taels of silver;
Some such as fire folds, cloaks, cloaks, masks, quilts, clothing, shoes and socks, tents, charcoal stoves, pots and pans, soy, vinegar, oil and salt, spices, combs, mirrors, candies, melon seeds, snacks, small toys, etc.
Daily gadgets, the total price is 100 taels of silver;
Vegetable Pill, 10 capsules in 5 bottles, one bottle only has 5 capsules;
There are 3 red thread fruits, which I got from not practicing [Three Thousand Needles of Purdah Red Thread] before;
A crane feather;
ten throwing knives;
The fifty-six-hole metal honeycomb also contains twenty-six air-breaking needles that cannot be removed;
A Qi-breaking needle dotted with dark green poison;
One hundred nine-shooting crossbows, the boxes are half full;
Two long swords with ordinary forging patterns;
There are 410 taels of silver left, including two 50-tael official bills from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Originally, Baishan still had more than one thousand taels of silver with him, as well as one thousand taels of silver that he had captured from Panshan.
Among them, nine hundred taels of silver paid for Han Yang, Zhu Yu, and Lu Qi's three-year tuition at the "South Wind Little Bird Boxing" martial arts school.
Six hundred taels of silver bought tea, rice, and some ordinary clothes and sundries.
One hundred taels of silver were exchanged for silver beans and copper plates and given to the children in the old house to support their future lives.
In addition, Baishan also quietly led Han Yang, Zhu Yu, Hua Xiaoshuang, and Lu Qi for a walk around Panshan Mountain in order to let the tiger demon remember their auras and protect them when necessary.
Although one of the tiger demons and ghosts is missing, the remaining five children can still do it.
These things may seem piecemeal, but they are all necessary.
Now that the matter has been dealt with and we are on our way, the worries in my heart will be reduced a lot.
...
...
The carriage jolted as it headed south, passing through barren farmland and dilapidated homes. The scenery along the way gradually turned into wilderness.
Although you will still meet some passers-by, many of them are poor people who come to the mountains to find food...
In addition, there are also scattered wild beasts and bandits.
It seemed that a wealthy family's carriage fell into their eyes, so it naturally became the target of attack.
But with the ghost slaves around, as many of these beasts and bandits come as they come, they will die.
Of course, there are still some earth-bound dirty things in the wilderness, but those dirty things will slip away whenever they get close.
The transit point for this trip is Jizu Port in the southern tip of New South Wales.
When you arrive at Jizu Port, you need to take a boat transfer to the overseas Ice and Fire Country.
The journey takes a month.
Ghost slaves and little sluts don't need to sleep, but Bai Shan, Bai Miaochan, and Song Youning are all mortal bodies, so they naturally need to rest.
When night falls, the tent will be set up.
The little slut sat by the bonfire and kept vigil, while the ghost slave stood beside her sadly.
There are two tents, Bai Miaochan sleeps in one, Song Youning and Bai Shan sleep in one.
Even if Song Youning hated Bai Shan in her heart, she still had to sleep with him.
Mrs. Song is used to sleeping in a big bed. It is common for her to roll around on the bed after falling asleep. She often rolls to the side of Baishan, and then unknowingly lifts her long legs and
Pressing him down, he half-lyed on the person next to his pillow, but he didn't even know it.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is naturally cold and freezing, especially in the wild, but Baishan has strong blood and abundant Qi, just like a small stove.
In spring, when the ice melts, the water flows to lower places; in winter, when the weather gets colder, people move to warmer places.
Unknowingly, when Mrs. Song slept until midnight, she always clung to her husband beside her, feeling extremely comfortable.
However, when she woke up in the middle of the night or the next morning, Miss Song saw herself entangled with her husband. She felt complicated, ashamed and angry, so she pretended not to know, as if she had lost her memory.
However, as a result, she no longer mentioned "immortal" in front of Bai Shan, but secretly kept the thought of "worshiping immortal" in her heart.
Days like this passed slowly.
Before I knew it, several days had passed.
The surrounding landforms are already different from those in Taohua County.
The high mountains and ridges are like swords drawn out.
And because they spend a lot of time on the carriage during the day, ordinary people like Bai Miaochan and Song Youning can't stand the bumpy road and feel drowsy.
Baishan and Xiaolangwu were not affected in any way.
So, Baishan turned on the "question" mode.
Although the little slut secretly swore, "If Baishan doesn't sleep with her, she won't say anything," but she couldn't withstand the sneak attack of this unruly young man.
Often some information is revealed without even reacting.
So, during the day, the little slut simply used red thread to sew his mouth all the time.
The carriage was even quieter.
Ta da da da da....
The ghost slave quietly steered the chariot towards a distant canyon ahead.
in twilight,
The canyon is like a Tianmen, with two peaks on the left and right.
And at the top of the peak, a golden figure stood unknown.
The figure was clearly a human, but it had the wings and feathers of a crane.
The feathers are pure gold and dazzle like a small sun. They are so high that ordinary people cannot look directly at them.
This is...
Chapter completed!
