Qin Jinsong picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"The origin of the Li Nan layman is mysterious. I only know that he is a senior who lived in seclusion in Yunzhou. The reason why I know this person is because the Yunzhou Jiantiansi has recorded that a hundred years ago, there were people from the Jiantiansi who coveted the Holy Fire.
He turned it into his own use and was hunted down by the Holy Fire Cult."
"What happened next?" Lin Ji quickly asked.
"It was the Li Nan layman who took action. He did not directly become an enemy of the Holy Fire Sect. Instead, he helped the people of Supervisor Tiansi and broke the restrictions imposed by the Fire Seeking Order on the Holy Fire."
Hearing this, Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
that's enough.
He is not afraid of being chased by the Holy Fire Sect. According to Zhang Jing, there are only three members of the Holy Fire Sect who have become Taoists.
One person is in charge of the overall situation and will not leave the Holy Fire Sect easily, while the two are in seclusion.
As long as the restraint of the Fire Seeking Order on the Holy Fire is broken, he will have full confidence in protecting himself.
At that time, as long as the people of the Holy Fire Cult dare to appear in front of him, one will be killed, two will be killed, and a pair will be killed.
"Where does the Linan layman live in seclusion?" Lin Ji asked.
"have no idea."
"I don't know?!" Lin Ji frowned..
Qin Jinsong smiled bitterly and said: "A Taoist monk wants to live in seclusion, how can others find him? He has never been against the Supervisor Tiansi in so many years, so naturally we will not provoke him and inquire about his residence."
This is the truth, but if you don't know anything, Lin Ji can't just go out and look for someone.
"There must be some clues, right?" Lin Ji asked again.
"I only know that he is in the north, near the border of Yunzhou." Qin Jinsong thought for a while and said, "That is already the extreme north of Kyushu in the Central Plains."
"Don't say it's at the border, even if it's outside Kyushu, I have to go." Lin Ji stood up helplessly.
"I only have one month to solve this problem before the fire seekers of the Holy Fire Cult come to visit me again."
As he spoke, Lin Ji bowed and saluted.
"Master Qin, Uncle Lu, I can't afford to delay, so we're leaving now."
Naturally, Qin Jinsong and Lu Nanting would not delay Lin Ji.
"Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, you two, I know what's going on."
After the words fell, Lin Ji turned around and left the meeting hall.
It wasn't until Lin Ji's figure disappeared completely that Lu Nanting looked at Qin Jinsong.
After watching for a long time, Lu Nanting didn't speak.
Qin Jinsong felt a little uncomfortable being looked at and asked in confusion: "Old Lu, why do you look at me like this?"
Lu Nanting's eyes were filled with deep meaning.
"Zhang Jing just died, you should feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinsong frowned.
"you..."
But Lu Nanting stood up with a chuckle and said: "Your plan has nothing to do with me. If you, a man named Qin, are disloyal, how can I, who is a general outside, care so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Nanting waved his hand and quickly left the meeting hall without waiting for anyone to let go.
Qin Jinsong was the only one left in the hall, stunned in his seat for a long time.
Finally, he came to his senses and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha."
"There are so many smart people."
...
In the blink of an eye, two days flew by.
He didn't feel anything on the way here, but it wasn't until he left Beiguan City and continued north that Lin Jicai finally realized the chaos in Yunzhou.
He finally understood that the Beiguan City garrison's appearance as if they were facing a formidable enemy was really not making a fuss out of a molehill.
Yunzhou is different from the other states in Kyushu in the Central Plains.
Over the course of a thousand years, the Qin Dynasty gathered people from various states and settled them in counties one after another, and few villages existed anymore.
This is not only to protect the people from the evil spirits in the wild, but also to facilitate management.
But Yunzhou is different.
Yunzhou has never been stable. Although Da Qin's methods are good, they are difficult to implement here.
Along the way, Lin Ji had passed many villages.
Almost every village has traces of being looted, and it is almost impossible to see a smile on the faces of the people, and everyone has a sad look on their face.
Lin Ji also asked curiously.
The answer he got was beyond his expectation.
"Not only are the barbarians raging in Yunzhou, but there are also bandits and bandits who are robbing everyone in the name of barbarians." Lin Ji thought about what the beggar on the roadside who was not far from death said to him.
Not long after saying this, the beggar died.
He said that his home was only a few miles away, and there were no living people left in that village. They would either starve to death or freeze to death, and there was no other end.
If the barbarians take action, the people may not survive.
In contrast, bandits and robbers seem to have some conscience. At least they will not kill anyone as long as they don't resist.
But in this winter in Yunzhou, without food supplies, those living people might as well die happily.
Everything I saw and heard along the way was like this. It was better to be closer to Beiguan City, but after a little further, it seemed as if the place we visited was no longer the territory of Da Qin.
Chaos is endless.
I don’t know how long I walked forward, but the sky gradually became dark.
The snow stopped, but the wind didn't stop and got stronger.
It was the north wind, blowing towards my face, causing my face to hurt like a knife.
Lin Ji naturally didn't care about this. He was just confused for no reason, remembering the nonsense about the dry, cold, wet and cold dispute between the north and the south in his previous life.
Obviously there are coastal places in the north.
The air is humid obviously because the temperature is not low enough.
"Speaking of which, does this world also have an Arctic? Is the Arctic land or is the ocean frozen into ice?" Lin Ji was thinking wildly.
Suddenly, Lin Ji heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.
He was distracted for so long that he didn't use his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings at all, so he had to come close before he could react.
Just over a hundred meters away, a caravan was stopped.
Several corpses dressed as guards lay on the ground, and a two-meter-tall strong man was fighting the enemy.
But when Lin Ji saw the strong man's opponent, his pupils shrank.
"Barbarian?"
After coming to Yunzhou for so long, this was the first time Lin Ji saw barbarians.
Just like the rumors, his skin was incredibly white and sickly pale.
He has a beard and his hair color is not pure black, but brown.
"Barbarian monk in the fourth realm." Lin Ji didn't rush forward in a hurry, but looked at it with interest.
In addition to the barbarian monk, there were also a few ordinary barbarian soldiers. They were stopped by the still alive guards of the convoy.
But soon, when Lin Ji's eyes fell on the strong man in the fourth realm again, he was suddenly stunned.
"Why does it look familiar?"
The back of the strong man looked familiar. He didn't use weapons, and his fists and feet had a roaring sound, which was quite powerful. He looked like he should be the best among the body-refining monks.
Lin Ji didn't remember that he knew the body-refining monks in the fourth realm.
But soon, as the two people who took action were moving around, Lin Ji saw the strong man's face.
You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it. This sight made Lin Ji almost scream out in surprise.
