Only Qi Xi remained calm for a while, and then became restless like a little monkey. Lao Sha simply sent him back to the camp to help take care of supplies.
Those who come to get soup will naturally not come empty-handed, but will also bring something to them.
Along the way, the Ping An Caravan never had to worry about things like food and water.
Just as Lao Sha was talking eloquently and his interest was high, Xu Luo suddenly remembered the Baishi Mountain he had seen last night, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The white stone mountain is barren of grass..."
As expected, Lao Sha didn't brag, he just thought about it for a moment and then blurted out with a look of realization.
"Then it should be Crowing Mountain!"
This time, Xu Luo was really stunned!
He originally mentioned it casually out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that there really was such a mountain!
"Is there anyone living nearby? How far is it from here?"
Xu Luo thought of the brutally annihilated village in Qi's vision, and his tone was a little irritable.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Lao Sha's eyes, and he sighed.
"Nowadays, the area around Yaming Mountain has long been deserted, and people who know it don't approach it casually. The old man just walked this road more times, so he has a general understanding of the situation.
If you want to know about the old man, just tell me what you want, and just listen to it as a story!"
About ten years ago, Yaoming Mountain was relatively famous among the caravans that came and went.
The main reason is that Changsheng Village at the foot of the mountain is very famous. Although the people there live barely enough to have enough food and clothing.
But for some unknown reason, all the men are tall and handsome, and all the women are even more delicate.
In addition, the village has ancestral herbal collecting skills and can often collect some rare medicinal materials, so when caravans pass by, they like to stop there.
But something weird happened next!
Overnight, the entire Changsheng Village turned into a dead village. All the people disappeared without a trace. Not only the people, but also the animals were no longer seen. However, the houses and utensils in the village were not damaged much.
Even the caravan stationed outside the village that night did not notice any unusual movement.
Such a big thing naturally alarmed the government.
I originally thought it was something strange, but people from the Military Control Department and the Exorcism Department came to investigate.
But no matter how much we checked, there was not even the slightest sinister atmosphere in the village. In the end, bandits were reported to have looted the village, and the matter ended like this.
After this incident spread, no one dared to go to Changsheng Village.
These traveling caravans may not be worth mentioning in terms of force value, but in terms of experience, no one is stupid!
Have you ever seen a house where bandits looted and robbed only people and animals without taking any property?
This means that it’s okay to deceive foreigners!
What's more, I don't dare to say that in other places, the Imperial Guards don't dare to be careless near this straight road. Every few months, they will send troops to clean it from beginning to end. Which bandits are so bold and dare to do so?
Come here to ask for food?
"It's a pity that that good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with good irrigated land outside the village, is now all deserted!"
The grooves on Lao Sha's face were crowded together, and his expression was full of regret.
"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is clearly the ability of weird and evil creatures. But those gentlemen couldn't find any traces, so they could only shirk the blame like this!"
At this point, Lao Sha remembered Xu Luo's identity and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Of course, if anything happens here in Panshi City, the Exorcism Department can't be blamed. Who doesn't know that those soldiers have the final say!"
It's okay if he didn't say that, but the atmosphere seemed to become more and more awkward after explaining it like this.
Xu Luo smiled indifferently and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to care.
"Then according to your statement, if we keep going forward, we can see the Changsheng Village and Yaming Mountain?"
Lao Sha counted it with his fingers and answered in the affirmative.
"Five days at most, if you walk more slowly, otherwise you can see Crow Ming Mountain from a distance in three days!"
The two chatted for a while, and then someone from the Ping An caravan shouted to Lao Sha. He apologized to Xu Luo and left.
When they set out on the road again in the afternoon, Xiao Qixi sneaked over to Xu Luo again, following the cart behind the cart, swinging his short legs so fast that he was out of breath.
Xu Luo couldn't help but stopped the cart and picked him up onto the shaft of the cart.
"Little guy, forget it this time. I'll take you to sit for a while, but don't come next time. Your body and bones are still weak now. There will be no benefit in being exposed to these things too early!"
Saying that, Xu Luo secretly shattered a black lotus seed with his palm and pressed it on Qixi's thin shoulder.
The meeting was a fate, not to mention that the Ping An Caravan had helped him this time, so this black lotus seed could be regarded as a reward!
Qixi's young and tender face was full of excitement. If Xu Luo hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have started shouting.
Xu Luo waved his hand towards Lao Sha, who was about to rush over not far away.
As long as you can, it is good to make this child more happy!
For the whole afternoon, Qixi's butt felt like it was stuck to the cart, and he even had to hold in his pee.
Waiting until the evening to set up camp, Qixi happily ran towards Lao Sha who looked helpless. After being slapped twice on the butt by the old man, he still said something to Lao Sha happily.
It was freezing cold in the old forest late at night, and everything was silent.
Xu Luo, who had been practicing in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes and looked cautiously in the direction of Qiuye Station.
After a while, a series of thunderous hoofbeats came quickly from far to near, and finally the earth seemed to be shaking.
All the caravans stationed in this area lit up with fire one after another.
However, no one was in any panic. There was only one company in this area that could have a cavalry team of this size, and that was the Imperial Soldiers Division!
Over the years, to be honest, the reputation of the Imperial Military Division is not bad. Even if it is a bit harsh when it comes to asking for money, at least the people of Panshi City are being protected and maintained safely.
A fire dragon followed the straight path and quickly appeared in front of everyone.
Outside the caravan camp, two soldiers had already come to ask a few questions, and then the fire dragon gradually disappeared from everyone's sight without even pausing.
While others were still talking about it, Xu Luo knew that this must have happened!
It is estimated that these caravans will be searched tomorrow, but at this time, his internal injuries have not recovered to 30%. This is still under the condition that the daily elixir has not been interrupted.
Xu Luo did everything he could, and could only hope that his luck would not be so bad this time.
Sure enough, early the next morning, a group of heavily armed cavalry came outside the camp, and one caravan after another inquired about it.
Roughly speaking, have you seen any strangers in the past two days, and whether anyone of unknown origin has joined the team...
When it was the turn of the Ping An caravan, the soldiers immediately became nervous looking at the green ox cart that was obviously out of place with the caravan. Even though Xu Luo showed his identity jade tag, they were still wary of it.
When I asked about Lao Sha, he was no longer polite and careless. Lao Sha had an old face and faced the difficulties honestly.
"When and where did that exorcist join you? And why did he join your little caravan?"
Lao Sha smiled helplessly and opened his mouth with a hint of complaint.
"I was lucky enough to meet him before I arrived at Qiuye Station. After passing the border, the old man struck up a conversation with a shameless face. It happened that Master Xu was going to Panshi City to answer the call, but this was also the first time for Anmoshan to leave, so he was
The old man invited us to go on the road together.
If Master Bing doesn’t believe it, you might as well ask other people to see if I, Lao Sha, have told half a lie in all these years.”
Xu Luo remained calm on the surface, but he was worried in his heart that time should be his only flaw.
A round trip of nearly two hundred miles in one night may seem unbelievable to ordinary people, but in the eyes of practitioners, there are too many ways to achieve it!
The soldiers looked at each other, and one of the older soldiers seemed to suddenly remember something and blurt it out.
"You are Lao Sha from Ping An Company, no, Dad Sha!"
After carefully looking at Lao Sha up and down for a while, he gradually reunited with the old man in the legend. The soldier's expression gradually showed a hint of respect, and he immediately put one arm close to his chest and saluted.
"That's no problem. The boys are disturbing you so much, please don't take it personally, Father Sha!"
After saying that, he stopped checking the Ping An caravan to see if there were any strangers, and left quickly with the still somewhat baffled soldiers.
This scene made Xu Luo stunned.
I never expected that this old man would actually have some respect in the hearts of these soldiers from the Imperial Guards Division!
Moreover, Lao Sha's answer just now was also very interesting. Intentionally or unintentionally, he ignored Xu Luo when he met him. Instead, he emphasized that the two had known each other before they arrived at Qiuye Station, and then they went there together as a matter of course.
Rock City!
Every word the old man said was extremely true, but when put together, the whole sentence concealed the most critical information.
Only Xu Luo could understand, he seemed to be hiding it for himself!
At this time, Xu Luo looked at Lao Sha, who was walking over with a smile on his face, and suddenly felt an unfathomable feeling!
Lao Sha seemed to understand what he wanted to ask and shook his hand.
"This is a long story! If you want to hear it, the old man will tell you a story on the way.
Now, we still have to hurry up and catch up with the majority of the caravan ahead. If there is any accident on the way, everyone will be there to take care of us.
Strange to say, I have never heard of anything happening at Qiuye Station in all these years, and I don’t know who is responsible this time!”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Xu Luo took a long breath and laughed a few times in agreement.
After Lao Sha said hello to him, he returned to the caravan and started yelling.
Soon the caravan didn't even have time to eat breakfast and set off immediately. Everyone wanted to get as far away from here as possible!
Soon, the caravan passed through the dense forest where the bloody fight took place last night. As expected, a large group of soldiers were scattered in the dense forest, searching for something everywhere. There were also blocking blocks on the straight road.
Fortunately, when it was Lao Sha's safe caravan's turn, the soldiers quickly let them go smoothly after muttering a few words to each other.
When Xu Luo passed by, he could still hear some soldiers talking quietly.
"Is this Mr. Sha, the ruthless man who sent all three sons to Panshi City until the last one was left?"
"That's right, I heard that in Panshi City, even the general has heard of his reputation. He is really a hero!"
