Not long after, Ma Qiuqiu listened and chatted for a while before leaving. Lin Xin picked up the book again. It was a Buddhist scripture borrowed from the team, Shen Yuan Jing, which advised people to perfect themselves and avoid the influence of inner demons.
, avoid worldly things and focus on your own spiritual perfection. ◇↓◇↓小◇↓说,&乐&文&novel
He read it accidentally and seemed to feel a little relaxed in his heart, so he began to read it carefully every day.
During this period, Ma Qiuqiu often came to listen to stories. At first, Ma Yuan was worried and sent someone to check on the situation. Later, more often, he found that he was indeed a learned man, so he felt a little relieved. But in the end, he didn't want to
She is a young and beautiful girl who runs into an old man's room every day.
And no matter how knowledgeable he is, he is just an ordinary person in the world. If he gets too close, there will be no future, so he will continue to restrict his daughter's movements.
So Ma Qiuqiu often sneaks out to listen to stories.
After reading the Buddhist scriptures for a while, Lin Xin stood up and stood in front of the window. Large tracts of snow outside kept passing behind. The white cows were moving very fast. From time to time, they could hear the roar of cows coming from the front.
Unable to practice or study the Tao of Formation Talisman, Lin Xin simply lived his life as an ordinary person, without thinking about his cultivation or any illusions.
After doing this, my mind is at peace, and there seems to be no problem for more than a month. There seems to be no movement on the illusion that Hongye Sword Master said.
Don't think about An Ying, Xiao Lingling no longer seems to appear next to her, everything seems to have been forgotten.
Holding on to the window, huge white mushroom trees slowly passed by in the distance. Each mushroom tree was like a sharp thorn that pierced the ground and reached the sky.
There were faint sounds of Ma Qiuqiu and some children playing outside, and there were also sounds of soft crying in other rooms.
Perhaps because of being far away from home, or perhaps for other reasons, coming here is considered a passage to the outside world. Although it was smooth sailing at the beginning, the further away from the protection range of Tianyundao, the more likely it is that danger will arise.
Soon, a white high-walled checkpoint faintly appeared in front of it. There seemed to be guards wearing Tianyundao logo clothes patrolling back and forth.
The ox-cart team paid the money and slowly passed through the black city gate more than ten meters high.
"From now on, we will officially enter the Yang Dao of the Outer Realm. Please be careful." Team leader Ma Yuan said loudly.
The sound echoed, and someone began to sprinkle some white powder on the white cow. I don't know what it was used for. Some powder was also sprinkled from Lin Xin's window.
Some people gathered in front and loudly sang prayer songs of unknown ethnicity.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door again.
Lin Xin walked over and opened the door, and saw Ma Qiuqiu standing helplessly at the door.
"My father won't let me come to you later, they said, they said"
Lin Xin smiled.
In the eyes of others, he is just a poor scholar with no money. Although he has some knowledge, his knowledge is not supported by force, and he is extremely powerless and without status in this world.
"It doesn't matter, just stay with your father. It's safe this way."
"But I know that sir must be a very powerful person." Ma Qiuqiu raised his head and said seriously.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Xin didn't know how this guy came to this conclusion, Qidao.
"Because you know a lot, many things that most people don't know. You know everything." Ma Qiuqiu said seriously, "Father, they just couldn't think clearly for a while and were blinded by their vision."
"Your father and others also have their reasons."
"I'll come find you in a few days," Ma Qiuqiu said, turned around and ran away.
Lin Xin was dumbfounded. This little girl was always so surprised. He knew that Ma Qiuqiu's father, Ma Yuan, didn't like him, so Ma Qiuqiu brought things to him again and again. He still stayed here like this every time.
For a long time, although people in Jianghu are said to be informal, this is a bit too much.
Lin Xin could understand it himself. If he was a wealthy man and his daughter suddenly got too close to an older man who had no money, no power, and no prospects, he would be extremely unhappy.
Therefore, he could understand the other party and try not to get too close to the little girl. After all, he never knew when his illusion would break out.
On a white bull at the front of the team, Ma Yuan and the two team leaders were surrounding a map.
"Qiuqiu went to the back again, saying that it was boring to stay here all day. He used to stay in his room when he went to the outside world. The air here is not good. Why is it a little abnormal this time?"
A woman next to Ma Yuan said casually.
"I seem to be looking for a down-and-out Confucian scholar to listen to a book or something. I have told her not to go. Those people behind her have ulterior motives. What happened last time is all thanks to that girl, otherwise it would have been really troublesome. I sent her there
All the protection masters would have been lured away, if it weren’t for that girl.”
Ma Yuan answered seriously while writing and drawing on the map.
"How prepared are the other team leaders? Whether they can successfully pass the Black Wind Gorge this time depends on the timing. Otherwise, it will take at least two years to wait for the next low tide." Another old man tugged at his beard and frowned.
"Can you wait for the weakness and then rush over?" the woman said.
"Even the rumored monks in the black storm are retreating. The immortals are helpless, let alone us. If we rush over, we will die." Ma Yuan shook his head, "I have passed this place many times, although the black wind has been weakened to a great extent by the canyon.
It’s a low level, but it’s not something ordinary people like us can handle. Even a big white bull is likely to have problems.”
"We also have to worry about possible horse bandits. There are no monsters and blood beasts in this area, but there are a lot of wandering horse bandits," the old man reminded.
"I woke up and made arrangements in advance." Ma Yuan nodded.
Right in front of the convoy, next to a huge mushroom tree, a team riding white horses and white camels, tied with white turbans and carrying machetes, was waiting here.
Several men with mustaches stood in front, as if they were waiting for the motorcade that was about to leave.
"According to the old rules, each person gets one denarius." One of the tallest men said casually.
"No, that guy from Ma Yuan killed one of my brothers. I can't bear to take revenge if I don't take revenge," another person said coldly.
"That's your business. If you want to take action, you can do it yourself." The leading man's expression remained unchanged.
"Then just watch it"
Soon the motorcade slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The man who threatened to take revenge rode a horse and rushed forward with a group of horse bandits.
"Ma Yuan is a dog thief, give back my brother's life"
Before he finished speaking, dozens of bandits on horseback saw a figure jumping out of the convoy and rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.
There was a crash. The man was actually more cheerful than them. He directly pulled out a machete more than three meters long and slashed the leg of a horse with one blow.
The white horse neighed and immediately jumped on its knees, knocking the horse bandit on its back away.
For a moment, everyone was shocked by this guy's power. There was actually a war horse running at high speed in front of him. This war horse on the Yang Dao was no better than an ordinary war horse in the Yang world. It was heavier and faster. It rushed over at a weight of more than a thousand pounds.
The impact is enough to make any warrior avoid the edge.
But this guy actually cut down a war horse with a single blow from the front. The power was so great that it was shocking.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this person was actually an ordinary woman with a broken right arm.
She is still an unattractive woman.
She was wearing gray clothes and was holding a shiny silver machete, with a trace of blood still on the blade.
"What a skill with the wave-breaking sword." The horse bandit leader's pupils shrank, as if he had recalled something, and he quickly took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it.
"You are Bao Luofei." He was suddenly surprised.
"Bao Luofei" Ma Yuan and others had not yet reacted to the shock of killing people and beheading horses. When they heard this name again, they were all shocked.
"Is she the one Bao Luofei who got the herring lantern from the secret treasure?"
"It is rumored that the herring lantern on her body hides a peerless iron book. It can make people rejuvenate and live forever."
"I heard that several groups of masters have returned without success, with heavy casualties. Even the Immortal Sect seems to be showing signs of intervening."
Immediately, both the horse bandits and the people in the convoy began to stare at the unattractive woman with burning eyes.
But she still looked calm and rushed directly towards the other horse bandits with a machete in hand.
The blade of the knife whirled, and one after another the bandits were beheaded by the knife. But the woman's expression remained unchanged.
The leader of the horse bandit's face flashed, and he hurriedly turned his horse's head to leave, but suddenly saw Ma Yuan blocking him behind him.
"Ma Yuan, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Ma Yuan laughed twice.
The two quickly jumped up and began to fight rapidly.
Seeing that their leader had taken action, everyone in the convoy also took action one after another, fighting with the horse bandits.
The one-armed woman continued to kill efficiently. The horse bandits all fled in a rout, with no sense of resistance at all. Most of them, including their leaders, were quickly killed.
The one-armed woman Bao Luofei whispered a few words to Ma Yuan and then returned to the team room.
Ma Yuan whispered a few words to the others. In this area, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but there are few people to maintain order. Everything relies on force.
Don't think about things you shouldn't have.
The convoy cleaned up the battlefield and continued to move forward.
Lin Xin stood at the window and watched the fight. With his eyes, he could naturally see that the woman named Bao Luofei had hidden her strength. She obviously had a secret in her body and had an obscure aura that she would not let go of.
From the beginning to the end when she finally took action, there was a hint of worry and fear in her eyes, as if she was guarding against something.
"The Immortal and Peerless Iron Book Herring Lamp" Lin Xin had also vaguely heard of the herring lantern, but it was not from the Qi Practitioner faction. Instead, it was spread in many places in the far west where cults were prevalent.
It is said that a great demon there who took the form of Ganoderma lucidum gathered all his life's energy and refined it into a lamp before he died. Legend has it that this lamp hid a peerless iron book, which contained the secret of immortality.
This legend has always been a story about the demon clan. It is said that it caused several strangers to chase it, and the final result is unknown.
But I didn't expect to meet him here by chance.
When mentioning strangers, Lin Xin thought of the one who once saved Xiao Lingling's life. These strangers seemed not to care about the Qi Practitioner sect, and the sect also seemed to deliberately ignore their existence.
There is a tacit understanding between the two parties, as if they were born in two worlds.
"Herring Lantern" He doesn't really care about herring lantern. After all, his biggest problem now is not his strength and cultivation, but his illusion.
I'm just a little curious, there aren't many things that can be chased by strangers. To be continued.
