Chapter 762 The Goddess Sect and the Goddess Envoy
It's late August, and the autumn mood is getting stronger. The red leaves in the Baqiao area outside Daxing City are already red, mixed with the dark green pine branches and the yellowing sycamore leaves, dyeing both sides of the official road into a colorful scene.
picture scroll.
Among the eight scenic spots in the capital, Baqiao is famous for its wind and snow, but the rich autumn atmosphere is equally moving, making people feel more of the autumn feeling of separation.
At noon, the autumn fog has completely dissipated, and there is a hint of late autumn coolness in the air. The sky begins to drizzle, and the drizzle falls on the face. The coolness seeps into the bones, and it begins to feel a little cold.
Five people on horseback walked slowly on the official road in the distance, including two young men, an old man and two girls.
This group of five people, old and young, all rode tall horses. Walking on the road, they immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by, because although the two young people had ordinary faces, they had a distinct temperament. One of them had a cold look, and there seemed to be nothing extra on his face.
The expression of the old man. The old man's head is twice the size of a normal person, but his body is as thin as a stick, which can be said to be extremely ugly. The two girls are similar in age, one is as beautiful as a flower, and can be said to be stunning.
The other person's appearance can only be considered above average, but his eyes are lively and full of aura.
These five people seemed to enjoy walking slowly in the drizzle. They had no intention of taking shelter from the rain. Instead, they walked slowly while looking at the picturesque scenery on both sides.
Yes, these five people, Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Chong Yao, Shen Guoer, Xiang Xiang, and Luo Shixin are still too young, and they usually stay with their parents except when they receive training and study from Nie Xiaoyu.
Both Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu were dressed in the costumes commonly worn by warriors in the martial arts world, and they were specially dressed up in disguise. At first glance, people would think that they were wealthy gangsters. Recently, with the rise of the three rankings of martial arts guilds, figures in the martial arts guild have moved around more and more frequently.
Although people like them are not everywhere, they are often seen, not to mention that this place is less than fifty miles away from the martial arts guild, and it is the most frequent place for martial arts people.
The five of them were going to the Wulin Guild to have a look today. When going to a place like this, Wang Junlin would naturally have to dress up and not show up with his true identity.
"Brother, is there any shelter from the rain nearby?" Suddenly someone next to him asked him.
Wang Junlin turned around and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old asking him with a smile. Judging from his appearance, he should be a housekeeper. His accent did not sound like someone from the capital, but he should be from the Central Plains area.
There was a carriage parked not far behind him, and there were two guards beside it. There seemed to be a woman and a child sitting in the carriage. This group of people had obviously come from a long distance.
Wang Junlin looked back and forth and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this area, and I don't know where I can take shelter from the rain."
The insect demon was a little surprised when he saw what Wang Junlin did. With Wang Junlin's current status and his illustrious reputation, he treated a servant who asked for directions so politely. If word spread, no one in the world would believe it.
Suddenly, the insect demon found that he could not understand Wang Junlin more and more. As for Nie Xiaoyu who was next to Wang Junlin, it was even more difficult for him to understand.
"It's okay. Let's go and ask in the front. Thank you very much, brother." The middle-aged butler may have realized from Wang Junlin's temperament that the other party was not an ordinary person, and his speaking etiquette was much more careful and respectful than before.
This group of people soon surpassed them. Wang Junlin heard the coughing of a child inside the carriage. It was obvious that the child in the carriage was a patient, and he was very ill. He probably came to the capital to seek medical treatment.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage opened a corner, revealing a very beautiful and gentle face of a young woman, with a soft and pleasant voice: "According to what the incense master said, the angel of the goddess is preaching nearby. We will go directly to the angel of the goddess. As long as we find the goddess of heaven, If you use it, you can cure my disease."
"Tiannu Cult? Tiannu Envoy?" Wang Junlin frowned and muttered to himself. He had never heard of any Tiannu Cult in the Sui Dynasty, and they were clearly active near the capital.
"Looking back, we should let Shen Guang investigate when there was such a force near the capital." Wang Junlin thought to himself.
…
…
The rain gradually became heavier, and Wang Junlin and his entourage also accelerated their horses and ran along the official road for about three miles. A wine shed appeared in front of them. It was made of bamboo wood and oil tiles. The shed was huge and could accommodate dozens of people. , there are more than a dozen couches under the shed, filled with passers-by taking shelter from the rain, and there is also a side shed to house the horses.
The group of people who had just asked for directions walked out of the wine shed under the guidance of two waiters. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Wang Junlin dismounted his horse and led everyone there.
The waiter under the wine tent came forward enthusiastically and said: "Guests, please take shelter from the rain, and then have a bowl of hot soup and something to eat before leaving. We also have good horse feed here."
Wang Junlin and others handed the horse to the waiter and said, "Feed the horse well with good fine materials."
Next to him, Shen Guoer had already taken out three coins from the horse bag to reward him. The man took the reward and left happily. The blood-maned horse was so eye-catching and unique, and everyone in the world knew that Wang Junlin had a horse like this. His horse, riding a blood-maned horse, undoubtedly told everyone his identity, so today he rode an ordinary war horse.
Wang Junlin scanned around the wine tent and found an empty table in the northwest corner. The middle-aged housekeeper who had just asked for directions, the young woman and child in their twenties, and two guards were sitting at the table next to them.
The middle-aged housekeeper smiled and nodded to Wang Junlin, and the young woman also nodded slightly to Wang Junlin as a courtesy. Wang Junlin politely bowed her hands in response, and the six of them sat down around the table next to them.
It was noon at this time, and Wang Junlin also felt a little hungry, so he called the waiter over, ordered a table of food, and asked for a bottle of wine.
"Okay! Guest, sit down for a moment." The waiter shouted and ran to the back to get ready.
The middle-aged housekeeper smiled and asked: "I'm from the capital! What's your surname?"
Wang Junlin said: "I am from the capital, so I don't need your surname to be Wang."
He also smiled and asked: "Is this uncle from that?"
"My little brother's eyes are as bright as fire. We just came from Luoyang in the Central Plains."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Luoyang is a great place! It has outstanding people and is the ancient capital of six dynasties."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from beside him: "You vulgar warrior, please stop showing off your ignorance."
A cold light flashed in Wang Junlin's eyes, and then he realized that Luoyang at this time was not alone in the Six Dynasties, but only in the Three Dynasties at most.
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, and turned to look at the person who laughed at him, but it was a scribe in green. After the scribe in green sneered at Wang Junlin, he didn't look at Wang Junlin lazily, but kept staring at the young woman in green.
