As the name suggests, the Zhongzhou Dynasty is located in the middle of the world, surrounded by Southern Wu, Northern Qi, Eastern Zhou and Western Chu. It is the most prosperous place in the world, and its national power ranks first among the five major dynasties.
From Baijiang City in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the border of Zhongzhou, it would take more than a month at a fast pace.
Fortunately, the five Zhuo Mufengs each have their own special skills and their physical strength is much better than ordinary people. After riding for a while, flying for a while with Qinggong, and repeating the cycle, after seven days, they have walked one-third of the whole journey, so there is no need to worry about not being able to catch up.
That evening, they entered a small town to rest. They were traveling for days. A super master is not an iron man. When there is enough time, he also needs to make appropriate adjustments.
What's more, before departure, the Demon Sect has already issued an order, instructing those Demon Sect masters lurking in the nearest location of Fei Waterfall Town to set off. I believe that by this time, those people should have secretly entered Fei Waterfall Town and started to make arrangements. There is no need to
They are too worried.
Of course, the five people went through appropriate disguises.
At this time, Zhuo Mufeng's face was covered with a beard and he was wearing a square cloth hat. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he was full of brilliance.
Aunt Lei even gave up her beloved crutch and turned into an ordinary old peasant woman. Wan Jianyan and Du Yuehong disguised themselves as a peasant couple, and Yanxinyan dressed as an elder.
All in all, when outsiders see these five people, they will definitely think that they are relatives from the countryside. Unless they are people with good eyesight, it will be difficult to attract the attention of others.
What's more, there are countless people walking in disguise on the rivers and lakes. Even if they are discovered, it won't hurt. No one will be free to expose their disguises. Who can think of their identities?
Arriving at a mid-range inn, the five of them chose three rooms, and then the waiter led them back to their rooms.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Not long after, Zhuo Mufeng in the room suddenly stood up and walked out. Yan Luo, who was in the same room with him, immediately looked wary.
Zhuo Mufeng said speechlessly: "Can't I go outside and buy some dry food? I'm going to vomit after eating barbecue all day in the wild. If you don't worry, just follow."
Without saying a word, Zhuo Mufeng opened the door and left.
The Heart-Destroying Yama would not relax his mind. Before setting off, Yao Wu had specially given instructions that this boy was always as cunning as a fox. In order to prevent accidents from happening, he must not be allowed out of sight, so he quickly followed him.
Zhuo Mufeng, who sensed the movement behind him, looked slightly cold, and came to the long street of the town. He wandered east and west at the stalls along the street, and finally bought a bag of pastries, miscellaneous cakes and the like.
.
Later, perhaps because he disliked the small size of the town, Zhuo Mufeng returned to the inn, and Heart-Destroying Yama followed him step by step, euphemistically calling it protection.
On the opposite side of the long street that Zhuo Mufeng walked, two pairs of eyes turned away from the second-floor window of a luxury inn.
"The damn Demon Sect is indeed on guard against the Young Master." Barong sat back at the table and gritted his teeth.
Fang Xiaodie, who had closed the window and was about to speak, suddenly heard footsteps on the walkway, and then saw a person pushing the door open. This man was tall, rough-looking, and had a beard on his face. He was similar to the disguised Zhuo Mu.
The wind has the same effect but different tunes.
"Hu, how did you become like this?"
Fang Xiaodie and Barong were both surprised. They looked stupidly at Hu Lai, whose hair and beard were half white, and even his face had slight wrinkles. He looked more than ten years older than before.
Hu Lai sat across from Barong with a sad smile, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and said, "It's not just to make a disguise mask."
"What's going on?" The two senior brothers and sisters couldn't understand.
There was another burst of laughter, and Hu Lai shook his head repeatedly: "Since I got the secret book of Dao Gui's technique from the boss, I have spent a lot of effort on research, and even figured out how to make the disguise mask. The effect is no better than the legendary disguise mask.
How much difference."
These words made the two people on the other side nod. Indeed, since they were assigned a disguise mask, Barong and Fang Xiaodie have become much more convenient and safer in doing things than before. Even when facing super experts, they don't have to worry about being spotted.
Even Fang Xiaodie, who has always been uncooperative, had to admit that she accepted Hu Lai's affection in this regard.
Hu Lai rubbed the corners of his eyes and sighed: "That's the problem. You don't know how much energy and effort it takes for me to make a disguise mask. It's more harmful to my body than even twenty women!"
When I made the first one, I felt a slight lack of energy, but I didn't take it to heart at the time. For the sake of the boss and you two, I made three more pictures in a row. Not only did my energy not weaken, but it became stronger than before.
a bit.
But later I realized that it was a phenomenon similar to a flashback. After we left Gusu City, my concentration and physical strength had declined significantly. Now more than a year has passed, have you seen it?"
Hu Lai pointed at his appearance, the smile on his lips was full of bitterness.
Barong and Fang Xiaodie were stunned. They couldn't believe their ears. Is there such a thing? In fact, they were a little surprised and even suspected that Hu Lai was lying. With this guy's character, it was not impossible.
But today is different from the past. With their skills soaring, they can easily detect that Hu Lai's blood is indeed far inferior to before, and is actually somewhat similar to a person in his fifties or sixties.
If that's the case, the problem isn't big. The young master seems to have secretly cultivated a batch of strange star-rated medicinal materials, which is enough to save Hu Lai. But what is more serious than the loss of blood is Hu Lai's energy loss. In this regard, even the star-rated medicinal materials are not enough.
Can't make up for it.
"Now I know why the disguise mask is so rare. Haha, this is simply a way to commit suicide. Not to mention that not many people can make it, even those who can make it will not die well in the end!"
Perhaps due to God's will, the disguise mask seems to have no lethality, but its actual usefulness may not be weaker than the four-star weapon. The Demon Sect's Ten Thousand Swords Yama, didn't it rely on a disguise mask to avoid the Twelve Holy Lands for many years?
tracing?
But what is more terrifying than the four-star weapons is that the materials used to make the disguise mask are not uncommon and can be purchased in the market. However, the energy consumption of the maker is far higher than that of the four-star weapons, and it has a great impact on the human body.
Harmful.
Originally, Hu Lai was called over this time because Barong discovered the code left by Zhuo Mufeng along the way and asked Hu Lai to make another disguise mask. However, looking at the current situation, Hu Lai is afraid that there is nothing he can do.
Barong was embarrassed to speak. Fang Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is there any way to make another disguise mask? This is the master's order and it is the key to this trip!"
Hu Lai had a bleak expression on his face: "My current energy cannot meet the requirements at all. Even if you force me with a knife, it will be useless. If you don't believe it, just kill me!"
Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to take action. From many aspects, they could see that Hu Lai was not lying, and they were speechless for a moment.
Thinking back to the beginning, this guy was wild and untamed, but now the unruly look between his brows was replaced by a sense of weakness. Looking at the one third of the white hair and premature wrinkles, Balong and Fang Xiaodie suddenly felt a heartbreaking feeling.
Sadly, they also fought side by side!
Things in the world are unpredictable. Even Fang Xiaodie has never thought that the young master's big event has just begun, and the guy opposite her who offends her will encounter such a bizarre turn of events.
"When we meet the boss later, please remember to talk to me and let him find a way to save me. I don't want to die early." Hu Lai looked at the two of them and smiled.
Barong felt that it was a little difficult to pronounce, but after a while, he still said: "I am afraid that the young master will not come here today. He is being stared at by the people from the Demon Sect and cannot get away. But don't worry, I will contact the young master next time.
I will tell him your situation, and the young master will definitely help you."
After hearing this, Hu Lai was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "That's good. Since the boss can't come, I'll leave first." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Barong shouted: "It's rare to meet once, so why not sit down and have a few drinks." He and Fang Xiaodie travel all year round, and Zhuo Mufeng will not restrict Hu Lai's freedom. The latter did not hear the call and likes
Wandering in the rivers and lakes.
Upon meeting this time, Barong realized that Hu Lai in his current state may not be of much use to the young master. This also means that the opportunities for cooperation between the two parties will be greatly reduced in the future, and he does not know when the next meeting will be.
Although cruel, this is reality.
If Hu Lai is willing to follow Zhuo Mufeng, that's fine, but this guy has always been lazy and free, and Zhuo Mufeng regularly remits him enough money, so he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing and enjoyment. Only when Hu Lai can calm down
Strange.
Hearing Barong's invitation, Hu Lai paused and walked forward again without looking back. Only laughter came: "Let's wait until next time. You are all busy people, so I don't dare to waste your time."
." He opened the door.
"Lao Hu, where are you going?" Barong asked from behind.
"Hahaha, although this town is small, it is well-equipped. Of course, I have to go visit the brothel. Seeing the beautiful scenery all over the place has been my dream since I was a child." Hu Lai closed the door and left with a laugh.
The two people in the room were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was depressing. Fang Xiaodie's eyes flashed: "This guy seems to have become different."
Barong shook his head and nodded again: "Although Old Hu is greedy for life and afraid of death, and his character is a bit cunning and cunning, his past help to the young master is probably not much less than ours. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
The two senior fellow apprentices looked at each other in silence.
At the same time, Zhuo Mufeng, who was watched tightly by the heart-breaking Yama, had no choice but to return to the inn and missed the meeting with Hu Lai and the others. However, he believed that Barong would definitely convey his intention to Hu Lai.
The latter won't let the chain slip in this kind of thing.
The next day, a group of five people set out again.
On the way, Zhuo Mufeng said that he had checked the map and information and knew that there was a shortcut. Aunt Lei and others did not doubt that he was there. The boy was surrounded by the four of them. Forgive him that he did not dare to play tricks, so he followed Zhuo Mufeng's instructions.
Go in the direction.
On the sixth day of the month, a group of five people arrived at the border area of Zhongzhou. They were still a few days away from Feipu Town at most, which was indeed faster than the originally planned route.
On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, five people were running through the mountains. Zhuo Mufeng stopped and pointed to a small village behind the hillside, indicating that they wanted to rest there for the night.
After being on the road for many days, Du Yuehong was a woman who loved cleanliness. When she saw the smoke from the village, she suddenly wanted to take a hot bath and happily agreed.
The other three people didn't care about this, but seeing that Du Yuehong was very interested and didn't bother to offend her on such a trivial matter, they didn't object.
Ever since, a group of five people entered a small village called Luoji Village.
Behind them, there is a green mountain hundreds of meters high, with strange shapes and covered with woods, which is called Luoji Mountain by the locals.
