The next day, Tang Zheng arrived at the west gate of Yungu City early in the morning on time.
More than ten cultivators have gathered at Ximen. The caravan has made all preparations.
Tang Zheng had just arrived, with a kind smile on his face, and asked doubtfully: "Butler Qian, didn't you agree to do it at sunrise in the morning?"
Butler Qian greeted us with a smile and said, "Everyone wants to leave early. It's my fault that I didn't make it clear to you. Now that everyone is here, we can prepare to leave."
The name Tang Zheng is the pseudonym of Tang Zheng after he changed his appearance. Zheng is the same as Zheng, Tang Zheng is Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng is Tang Zheng.
Now that he is being hunted by the five sects of the righteous way and the five sects of the evil way, it is naturally impossible to use his real name. Using a pseudonym in disguise is the best choice and the simplest way. Only in this way will he not be exposed.
trace.
When the other caravan guards saw Tang Zheng coming, they snorted coldly and looked at Tang Zheng unhappily.
Indeed, as Butler Qian said, all of them wanted to leave early. If they leave early now, they can get the spirit stones and come back to practice early. Therefore, they naturally do not want to waste time. No one can do it, but Tang Zheng actually
Calculating the time, he showed up at just the right time. He delayed them for half an hour, so naturally he didn't look good to Tang Zheng.
The agreed time was at sunrise in the early morning, and Tang Zheng arrived at the scene just in time. It was not considered a violation of the caravan's rules.
Therefore, these casual cultivators did not have an attack, but could only complain a few words in their hearts and look angry on their faces.
When Tang Zheng didn't come, when they were complaining, Butler Qian still made some explanations. It seemed that he valued Tang Zheng very much and had to wait until he arrived before setting off. Invisibly, Tang Zheng became the object of these people's resentment.
Therefore, these casual cultivators had great opinions on Tang Zheng.
"Okay, let's go." With a smile on his face, Tang Zheng ignored the casual cultivators.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so Tang Zheng ignored the casual cultivators. For his low-key behavior, the casual cultivators thought he was very arrogant.
At this time, a middle-aged man said in a strange tone: "You are so famous. Do you think you are a strong man in the Golden Core stage? You let the big guy wait here for so long, and you still feel so at ease."
A female monk echoed and said: "Eagles, beware of trouble coming from your mouth. The three heroes of the Yang family died after saying a few distasteful words. Is it possible that you also want to follow in their footsteps?"
The three heroes of the Yang family died at Ximen yesterday, and almost all the casual cultivators in Yungu City knew about this. The path of cultivation for casual cultivators is very difficult and arduous, and they will die at any time. These casual cultivators will inevitably feel like a rabbit dies and a fox hurts its own kind.
After the female monk finished speaking, Eagle had a look of fear on her face. Immediately, she chose to shut up obediently. If she made Tang Zheng angry and died, it would be the cup on the coffee table.
Yingying kept silent, and the casual cultivator guards turned their eyes to Tang Zheng with a vigilant expression. They were worried that Tang Zheng would be upset because of his performance just now, and he would get rid of them all at once.
Tang Zheng knew their inner thoughts very well. He could only smile bitterly at these casual cultivators. He had also experienced what it was like to be a casual cultivator. Life like that was really uncomfortable.
"I, Tang Zheng, am not a bloodthirsty person. The three heroes of the Yang family suffered such an end. They brought it upon themselves. For the specific situation, Butler Qian was present at the time. You can ask him. I don't hope that during the mission, because I don't
Unity will cause losses to steward Qian." Tang Zheng explained briefly.
If something like this happened before departure, Butler Qian must have some opinions. It's just that they didn't express it. Now, hearing Tang Zheng's words, Butler Qian smiled sincerely.
Sure enough, I was right. This Tang Zheng is very good. If possible, he can be absorbed into the Chamber of Commerce.
"It's just as Tang Zheng said. The three heroes of the Yang family threatened to kill the Tang Zheng brothers. I want to ask, if it were you, would you be captured without mercy?" Butler Qian said calmly.
All the casual cultivators and guards immediately shut up and cast apologetic looks at Tang Zheng.
Dare to take responsibility and apologize immediately when you know that you and others have misunderstood.
"Don't waste time, let's get started." Tang Zheng didn't want to cause trouble, so he just laughed off the trivial matter.
…
There are six or two large carriages in the caravan, and each carriage carries heavy items. It can be seen from the deep marks left by the wheels on the ground. The things on the carriage are definitely quite heavy.
.
As a guard, what you need to do is to keep these things safe to their destination. As for other things, it depends on whether the employer is willing to be honest. Otherwise, the guard has no right to know what he is protecting.
There are a total of twelve guards, including Tang Zheng, and most of them are in the middle stage of foundation building. There are only three masters above the middle stage of foundation building. One of them is the female monk who just spoke, named Lan Luo, whose strength is in the middle stage.
Late stage of foundation building.
The other is a young man named Leng Feng, who lives up to his name. He has a very cold appearance and looks like he should not approach strangers. His strength is also in the late stage of foundation building, and he has a vague feeling of breaking through the late stage to reach the peak.
The last one is Tang Zheng, whose strength is at the peak of foundation building.
Adding up the total number of people, the caravan numbered about thirty.
Among them, there was a white-haired old man who had almost no roads. Except for meal time, he stayed in the carriage all the time. This old man Tang Zheng could not feel his depth, and his strength was unfathomable.
It felt like this old man was like a deep well without any waves.
It takes about ten days to leave Yungu City.
The caravan finally saw the primeval forest that was the only way to enter the west from Duizhou, Alasmos Forest.
Alasmuslin is the starting point for the danger of heading west. Alasmuslin has many monsters, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, as well as many natural and earthly treasures. It can be said to be an adventure paradise for casual cultivators.
Before the caravan entered Alas Moslin, Butler Qian immediately reminded: "Ahead is Alas Moslin. The business roads are often haunted by low-level monsters. Many robbers and bandits will choose to ambush on the Alas Moslin trade roads.
, rob the passing caravan. From now on, everyone must be extremely vigilant and pay attention to the movements around them at all times."
"Understood." Everyone replied in unison, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Everyone knows what monsters mean. When monsters appear, they are usually accompanied by danger. If they are just low-level monsters, the caravan's current lineup is not afraid of them.
As long as there are no monsters at the Golden Core stage or above, there won't be much of a problem. Just be afraid, mid-to-high-level monsters will appear by then. It's not like this has never happened. There used to be a caravan that had bad luck and encountered
When it comes to mid- to high-level monsters, the whole army is wiped out.
Life is your own, and the items belong to the caravan. Some casual cultivators couldn't hold it back after all, and suggested: "Steward Qian, I heard that a caravan encountered middle-to-high-level monsters in Alasmuslin before.
The army was annihilated. Should we take a detour?"
None of them had ever walked through Alasmuslin before. They didn’t know if they would be buried in it if they rushed in this time. Lack of spiritual stones in cultivation was a failure for casual cultivators. However, for the sake of the Five
If you want to get a middle-grade spiritual stone, you will lose your own life, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, these casual cultivators will ask if they can take a detour.
Alasmuslin is the ultimate road from the east to the west. If we take a detour, it will take an extra month. Butler Qian will naturally not be happy.
People die for wealth and birds die for food, so Butler Qian had no choice but to add weight. He opened his mouth and said: "Danger is directly proportional to income. Let's do this. How about adding ten pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones to each person? Those who are willing to continue to guard can stay. No.
If you are willing, I won’t force anyone to give me money.”
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, which adds up to fifteen pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones. The temptation is so huge that it is enough for these casual cultivators to take risks. After many people hesitated, they became determined. They would die for fifteen pieces.
Middle grade spiritual stone, fight for it.
Tang Zheng didn't even think about it and said calmly: "I'll stay."
At this time, Butler Qian's look at Tang Zheng was obviously different from before. There was more approval in his eyes.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If someone takes the lead, the rest will be easy. Including Tang Zheng, among the twelve monks, ten stayed and two chose to leave.
"Tang Zheng, you are the strongest among them. Now, you come to lead them. Qian will not let you do it in vain. When you arrive at the destination, I will give you three more middle-grade spiritual stones as a reward. Night is coming,
Let's rest here for the night and gather enough energy to set off tomorrow." Butler Qian ordered.
At this time, the old man who had been staying on the carriage got out of the carriage unusually.
He looked at Alas Mothlin with a heavy expression on his face, as if he was worried that something would happen.
"I hope they won't come after us here." The old man said to himself.
When the old man appeared, Tang Zheng's eyes never left him. Every move of the old man was captured in his eyes, including the solemn expression he looked at Alas Mothlin, and the slight sigh and soft words.
This caravan is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. There is definitely something wrong with it. Otherwise, the old man would not be so solemn. Who are they in the old man's mouth?
They? It's absolutely impossible to mean the monsters in Alasmuslin. Since it's not about monsters, let's talk about people. Who is chasing the caravan? Tang Zheng kept these questions in his heart and did not ask directly.
.
Sometimes knowing too much may not lead to good results.
Soon, the tent was set up. After a simple dinner, Butler Qian called Tang Zheng to the tent where he was.
"Tang Zheng, please take a seat." Butler Qian said with a kind face.
"I wonder if Butler Qian has anything to give you?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Thank you for what happened in the evening. Without you, more people might have left. I asked you to come here mainly to discuss with you the matter of entering Alasmoth Forest tomorrow." Butler Qian didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
