After that day, the convoy moved forward slowly, and soon arrived in front of a wide canyon surrounded by black wind.
From a distance, the white canyon looks like a knife-marked crack between two peaks. The entrance is constantly absorbing a large amount of black thread-like airflow from all directions.
The convoy slowly stopped at the edge of the canyon, avoiding the wind, and found a hollow on the bare mountain wall to hide in.
The oval flat tents that had been prepared long ago were erected, close to the ground, smooth and white, like small mushrooms growing in the depressions.
Ma Yuan and several team leaders directed everyone to divide the tent positions one by one. Everyone formed a larger and complex formation, which seemed to have some special function.
The white ox carts were parked on the edge of the depression, lined up in a row to block the airflow and strong wind outside.
Ma Yuan, who was making arrangements, suddenly frowned when he heard the report from a subordinate who ran over.
"Are you sure?"
"OK." The subordinate nodded solemnly.
"I know, go and get Huang Erfeng." Ma Yuan pondered for a moment and then ordered.
"Should we use it now?" Another team leader came over and asked in a low voice.
"No way, that thing is coming. Although it is a bit wasteful, safety comes first. Putting it in the front can also reduce a lot of casualties. Money can be made again, but if people's lives are ruined for a little saving, then
It's not good." Ma Yuan shook his head.
"Too."
"It's been a while since we entered Yang Dao, and we haven't really encountered any danger yet. This time we have to pile them together for use." Another team leader said with a wry smile.
"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, who knows?" Ma Yuan sighed. "Fang Wushui and the exquisite set are ready?"
The other two people nodded their heads.
"After this trip, I can live in peace for a little while. I hope I can be safe."
After waiting for a while, Ma Yuan walked towards the bullock cart where he lived, got into the corresponding carriage, walked to a room and knocked on the door. No one answered.
He frowned and knocked on the door again.
"Qiuqiu?"
I called twice, but no one answered.
"Sir, the young lady went to listen to a story from that gentleman again." A maid timidly poked her head out from the side.
"Here you go again?" Ma Yuan frowned. "This girl really doesn't make people worry at all."
"Is Leader Ma worried about Miss Qiuqiu?" The woman who had rescued Qiuqiu earlier was passing by the carriage aisle. When she saw her, she stopped and asked.
"It turns out to be Miss Bao Fei Bao." Ma Yuan gave the other party a respectful hand. "My Qiuqiu is the most kind and innocent."
"Leader, don't worry about Mr. Honghua. He is well-read and has a strong memory. He is very knowledgeable and he is also loyal and kind," the woman Bao Luofei said calmly.
"I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that Qiuqiu hasn't seen many good men. What if?"
Ma Yuan was also embarrassed.
"If we, the children of the world, find a scholar who is powerless, we will probably live a miserable life in the future."
"That's not entirely true. It would be a happy thing to find a place to live anonymously and live a stable and prosperous life." Bao Luofei shook his head lightly, as if recalling some past events, his eyes seemed to be fluctuating.
"What Ms. Bao said makes sense." Ma Yuan could only nod, but he didn't agree in his heart. They are Jianghu people. How many days have they spent licking blood with a knife? They have made many friends, but even more enemies.
If there is no martial arts, the result of hiding one's name will be the destruction of one's family, nothing more.
"By the way, Leader Ma, I wonder if you have heard of a gang called Jiuhua Tongue?" Bao Luofei said suddenly.
"Jiuhua tongue?" Ma Yuan was slightly startled, "That's not true."
"He also has a name, called the Tianqing Gang. The leader of the gang, Fu Shiran, calls himself Dongyezi." Bao Luofei continued in a different way.
"Tyuyoko?!" Ma Yuan suddenly understood, "Is this the Tianqing Dharma King Toyoko you are talking about!?"
"King Tianqing? So this is his name here? It fits his image quite well." Bao Luofei said seriously.
"Yes, he is the one I want to talk about. I feel ashamed to say it. Originally, I planned to hide in the team and go our separate ways after passing the Black Wind Gorge so as not to implicate you. But I didn't expect that this happened now. The Qing Gang chased me all the way that day.
You can't kill me. I have fought with the helmsman dozens of times, and I have only escaped with injuries. But this time I got the news that the leader of the Tianqing gang personally took action and attacked me. I am afraid that the team leader will be harmed. I plan to leave now."
When Ma Yuan heard this, his heart suddenly jumped wildly. He didn't know what kind of gang the Tianqing Gang was, but the actions of King Tianqing were so thunderous in this borderland that they could make children stop crying.
He is said to be a Dharma King, but he is actually a Demon King. He has many followers under his command. With an order, he will often massacre villages and towns, even the casual cultivators passing by. The surrounding sects have attacked several times, but they have all been killed.
His cunning and fox-like moves made him go round and round, but then they all stopped because they couldn't hold him back anymore.
And this was only a few years ago. In the past few years, Dharma King Tianqing has been keeping a low profile and staying in seclusion. I heard that he was practicing some shocking magic skills. Now that he has left seclusion, he is probably improving his cultivation.
But at this time, the team had been with Bao Luofei for so long. If he was suspected of being involved, his face would almost turn green at the thought. Especially since I heard that His Holiness Tianqing was extremely suspicious.
But now it has been suspected. Whether Bao Luo Fei leaves or not, he will be connected with the villains of the Tianqing Gang. In this unfamiliar and dangerous place, without Bao Luo Fei's powerful strength,
It's also a pity.
After all, he was a ruthless man who dared to enter the Yang Dao alone with just a little money. He gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Miss Bao is serious. Not to mention that we are not familiar with the place at this time. The supplies you bring here alone are definitely not enough. It is not easy for the Qing Gang to find us that day, and even if they do, we will not be able to find us."
I can find a way to hide you."
Since he had already been made slutty by the mutton, he might as well just keep slutty until the end, Ma Yuan felt cruel, so that he might be able to get some compensation from Bao Luofei.
Bao Luofei took a deep look at Ma Yuan, showed a slightly moved expression, and nodded.
"The kindness of the horse team will be repaid in the future."
Ma Yuan hurriedly made polite remarks.
*************************
Lin Xin carefully dried the ink on the rice paper in front of him, picked it up, shook it, and put it on the wall next to it.
Although the room is small and well-equipped, he will live here for at least a few years. It has become his own residence in the villa, writing and practicing calligraphy every day. Reciting Buddhist scriptures, his mind becomes more and more stable.
"Sir's handwriting is really good." Ma Qiuqiu sat upright on the side, "Much better than my father."
"Do you know what the word is?" Lin Xin asked her with a smile.
"have no idea."
Lin Xin pointed to the post he had just written.
"This is called heart, and it's the words of a foreign country." What he wrote was the words of the Double-faced Country.
"A foreign country? How far is it? Is it as far away as Zhongfu where we went?" the little girl asked with her eyes wide open.
"I don't know either." Lin Xin shook his head. "I just saw it in ancient books."
"So there's something you don't know, sir?"
"I don't know much." Lin Xin said with a smile. "By the way, Qiuqiu, did your father mention how long we will stay here?" When he saw that the camp was starting to be set up, he knew that the team would probably stay here for a while.
time.
"I don't know, but my father usually stays for more than two months when camping." Ma Qiuqiu said with an indifferent expression, "I have been following my father everywhere since I was a child. He has long been familiar with these habits."
"Aren't you so tired?"
"I'm not tired, I'm used to it. What's the point of being tired?" Ma Qiuqiu said casually, "Sir, how could he know so many things but still have to follow the team to Zhongfu? The people over there are not good people.
"
Lin Xin's eyes darkened.
"It's just because of some trouble that I have to leave."
Ma Qiuqiu also nodded in understanding. He was also sensible and didn't ask any more questions. This guy looked innocent and innocent, but in fact he was also a smart little kid with a lively mind.
"Then, can you tell me what the trouble is?"
"You are still young and don't understand." Lin Xin smiled.
"What? Qiuqiu is not young, Qiuqiu Qiuqiu is big." Ma Qiuqiu blushed slightly and glanced at Lin Xin secretly.
Lin Xin also didn't expect that this little guy would suddenly say such a thing, and he was slightly shocked, feeling that he had not paid attention to the distance.
I looked at Ma Qiuqiu. This girl has long legs, fair skin, is beautiful, young, obedient, and sensible. She was sitting at the table with a blush on her face. She was wearing a strapless white dress that slightly exposed her snow-white shoulders, and her skin was delicate.
It can also be seen. When she said big, it was a pair of huge bulges on her chest.
This is actually a confession.
It is extremely difficult for an unexperienced little girl to be able to speak like this, but she has already made a lot of determination.
He was thinking about how to word it so as not to hurt the little guy's pride and face, but also to reject the other party tactfully.
"Sir, there is no need to say more. Qiuqiu knows that he is being abrupt." Ma Qiuqiu saw that there was no joy in his eyes at this time, only surprise. Her heart had already become cold. After he hesitated for a while, she understood what Lin Xin meant.
"The girl's family is not allowed to speak so suddenly in the future." Lin Xin said with a deliberately serious face.
"Yes" Ma Qiuqiu quickly agreed.
Somehow, the more she looked at Lin Xin, the more she felt that he knew everything. She was just like a child learning to talk to him. She didn't understand anything and could only stare at everything she encountered.
I listened to my husband and listened to him explain many truths that I had never thought of from various things.
As time passed like this, the image of Lin Xin in her heart became bigger and bigger.
"It's a pity that sir doesn't know martial arts, otherwise he would be a world-famous hero with both civil and military skills." While listening to Lin Xin's words, she thought over and over again, "But isn't this just right? Just so I can work hard.
My father also hopes that I can practice martial arts to protect myself. In the future, when I have mastered martial arts and will be protected by my husband, won’t I have both civil and military skills?”
While she was thinking this, she looked at Lin Xin blankly, as if she was a little crazy.
The original resistance to practicing martial arts disappeared in an instant, leaving only the small thoughts of Huaichun, a girl of this age.
It’s no wonder that those who can read well these days are rich, knowledgeable, and respected bachelors. Most people who don’t have sufficient background, qualifications, financial resources, etc., don’t want to get into literacy education at all.
Only people like Ma Yuan who have lived a very realistic life can understand that in troubled times, culture without the support of martial arts has no future.
But Ma Qiuqiu doesn't know this. Although she has interacted with many men, she has never seen anyone as knowledgeable as Lin Xin. (To be continued.)
