There was a light shield that blocked out the intrusion of outside spiritual consciousness, so Yan Xing did not use his spiritual consciousness to transmit the sound.
Mr. Xuan also answered: "When we left the city, we felt someone was staring at us. They have been following us for so long and haven't given up. Could it be that they want to rob us?"
"When you returned to the inn yesterday, you were followed by a little tail. Did you steal someone else's job and be resented?" Le Yun smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescents. The two handsome guys had a strong sense of danger.
"We didn't steal anyone's money, but it's true that we had a grudge against a local snake." On the first day of the trip, Yan Xing said that he had a grudge against a man named Master Zhan.
They later learned that the foundation-building monk named Zhan Ye was a local gangster in Wanghai City. With some connections, he went to work in the planting area every harvest season and collected "protection fees."
He led others to collect protection fees and was not punished, mainly because he did not go too far, that is, it did not disrupt the harvest work of the growers, nor did it completely cut off the financial paths of the low-level monks. His fee was only 1 out of 10.
Because he had connections behind his back, the plantation manager also turned a blind eye to this, and the low-level monks also reluctantly spent money to buy peace because Master Zhan only took a commission and did not directly kill people for money.
"It is said that that person has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that he moved to the backstage? The City Lord's Mansion sent someone to intercept and teach us a lesson."
Mr. Xuan also heard gossip from others. He only knew that the person had some relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, but no one knew exactly what the relationship was.
"It's okay for a little local snake who can't move to the City Lord's Mansion." Le Yun smiled and said: "No matter what the little tails want to do, they won't do anything within a thousand miles of Wanghai City. You continue to observe and see.
See if you can find how many little tails there are."
"Little beauty, you mean more than just a little tail?"
Xuan Shaoyan and Shao Yan were stunned, who were they looking at?
"Take your time and feel it, maybe there will be a surprise." Le Yun avoided answering and urged the horse to continue running.
Young Master Yan Xingxuan also took notice, and he was sensing carefully all the way. He could sense that someone was following him, but how many people there were, their level of cultivation, and how far away they were, they were too shallow to draw any conclusions.
There are deer and horses to travel for, and people are not tired, but the deer and horses will be.
The three of them sometimes walked by themselves during the journey to let the deer and horses rest. At dusk, they had traveled more than 500 miles, but still had not left the plain north of Wanghai City.
In order to let the deer and horses rest, the little Loli camped on the roadside not far from the river to rest.
When camping in the wild, the two young masters had a chance to show their talents. Young Master Yan took off all the saddles and used wooden buckets to fetch clean water from the river to feed the horses or wash them.
Mr. Xuan took out the stove to cook, fried egg pancakes, and cooked chicken soup with mushrooms.
When the aroma of chicken soup overflowed, a traveling merchant team was approaching the section of the road where they were camping. The team's flag had the characters "Blue City" and "Wood" on it. It was relatively large, with more than a thousand people, more than a thousand deer and horses, and
Some pull goods, and some pull carriages.
There were more than a thousand people and the queue was very long.
The pioneer team arrived first. A capable middle-aged man rode a deer horse in front and ran to the vicinity of the camping team. He reined in the horse and dismounted and walked.
When they arrived outside the three-person camp, the middle-aged man gave a monk's salute: "Sorry to disturb the three fellow Taoists. We are a traveling caravan, and we originally planned to camp near here. We came a step late, and there may be some noise when camping.
I also ask my three fellow Taoists to forgive me."
"It's okay, you can just go about your business." Mr. Xuan smiled and replied: "We will go all the way north, and we will not be in a hurry. We will stop wherever we think is good along the way. We may even stay until the New Year.
We will continue walking, we will stop if we want to, fellow Taoists don’t have to worry about it.”
The middle-aged male monk thanked him, turned around, and cleared the site with the pioneer troops not far away on the other side of the road, unloading the carriage.
The teams from behind arrived one after another, unloaded the carriages, formed a circle, included the deer and horses, and sprinkled insect repellent powder outside.
Because the weather was warm, no tents were set up, so we could sleep by spreading the animal skins on the ground.
The merchant team packed up, cooked a simple dinner, and then rested quickly.
The little lolita and the two handsome guys prepared a meal and set up a table in the open air to eat. After they felt comfortable eating, they cleared the place and climbed into the tent to meditate.
It is close to Wanghai City, there are no monsters nearby, only wild beasts, and only a few people from the merchant team are left to take turns keeping watch.
Yan Zhen, who was miles away, was lying in the grass, looking at the stars in the sky with a sad look on his face. When would he have the chance to get in front of the little fairy?
Brother Lin lay down until midnight, got up, and silently helped the camp in the distance keep vigil.
A peaceful night.
At dawn, the merchant team got up and hitched their carriages. The cooks cooked the food. After the meal, the team set off on the morning dew.
Mr. Xuan also got up early and made a spiritual meal. After eating, he rested for another half an hour before putting on the saddle and setting off slowly.
At noon, they caught up with the Blue City wooden merchant team from last night.
Towards evening, we finally reached the end of the plain.
The end of the plain is a mountain range, and a highway enters the valley from the west side of the eastern peak. The section of the valley towards the plain has no river and is a dry valley.
They were about to leave the plains, which also meant that they would soon leave the safe zone that Wanghai City could protect. The caravan reached the foot of the mountain before dusk and set up camp to rest.
Moreover, another caravan and several adventure teams also camped at the foot of the mountain.
The three of them, Young Master Yan, were not in a hurry and set up tents.
The next day, when the other teams set off, Xuan Shao and the other three also slowly embarked on their journey. After noon, they surpassed two caravans and several adventure groups.
In the evening, the three-person team arrived at the location of the river in the canyon. The river reached the canyon from the north and east, then turned a corner, opened a road, and rushed to the west.
The official road crosses a river from the east and there is no bridge. Fortunately, the river is very wide and the water depth is less than 1.2 meters. It is not during the flood season, so deer and horses can wade across the river without getting their saddles wet.
After seeing the river, Yan Shaoxuan understood why the caravan set off years ago. If we wait until a year later, the coastal area will be affected by the southeasterly wind, rainy and humid, and the water levels of many rivers will definitely rise. During that time, crossing the river will be a difficult task.
trouble.
Basically, every caravan has at least a Nascent Soul in charge, as well as golden elixirs, and monks who can fly with swords. Transporting horses and people there is not a problem, but it is very laborious and wastes time.
The little lolita and the handsome guys are not afraid of monsters, they don’t set up camp, and they ride at night.
After driving all night and walking for half a day after dawn, we finally walked out of the mountainous area with peak after peak.
After leaving the mountainous area where canyons are connected, Young Master Yan was surprised: "The little tails didn't do anything in the mountains?"
"It's too close to Wanghai City. Those peaks are not too high. Even in the mountains, if there is any signal sent out, Wanghai City can still see it."
Le Yun smiled and answered the question: "In addition, everyone knows that there are many twelfth-level monsters from the Silver Dragon Clan who are stationed in Wanghai City, but who dares to keep it safe that there is no Jiao Clan hiding in the river in the mountains here?"
"That's it." Yan Xing suddenly realized and asked curiously: "Little Lolita, is there a big monster of the Jiao clan in the mountains?"
"Yes." Le Yun gave an affirmative answer: "There are eleven-level big monsters, and there are tenth-level and ninth-level dragons. Because of the dragons, there are no large monsters in the river."
"So, if someone wants to rob the Tao, they have to walk hundreds of miles." Mr. Xuan also understood and looked into the distance.
There are mountains even further away, but they are hills and belong to the plains and hilly areas.
"Anyone who wants to rob the road must at least pass through these hills. Beyond that is the plain, wetland and forest, which is also the best place to do it. How do you observe?"
"Not much gain."
"Then continue to observe."
"..."
The two young men rolled their eyes. They didn't know where they were. Where could they go to observe?
However, they thought too much. Half a morning later, they met pedestrians again, and there were quite a few of them. There were caravans or adventure teams going to Wanghai City, and there were also caravans leaving Wanghai City or groups going to hunt in distant places.
In the evening, the three-person team once again chose a place to camp.
The next morning, when they were preparing to set off, the Blue City Mu family merchant team they met on the first night actually caught up with them.
Master Xuan inquired about it and found out that the team did not set up camp last night and marched all night.
The Lancheng Mu family caravan traveled for a day and a night, and camped to rest in the evening. However, they did not camp again the next evening and continued their night journey.
Little Loli's small team of three people kept going, and on the third day they caught up with the Blue City Mu family caravan and overtook them. At night, when they were resting, the caravan passed them again.
After six days of non-stop walking, we finally got out of the hilly area.
Connected with the hills are plain wetland forests. Rivers and wetlands divide the forests into areas, so that the forests are like patches nailed to a carpet on the earth.
After walking for a long time in the plain, wetland and forest area, it was dusk. Little Loli and her group found a suitable place to camp.
When it was getting dark, the Blue City Mu family caravan, which was one step behind, also caught up with them. They had no intention of camping and planned to travel at night.
Mr. Xuan received Little Loli's advice and sent a message to the middle-aged pioneer of the caravan: "Don't go into the forest at night. There are many forests in the plains. There are few stars tonight and the wind is strong. I suggest you not to travel at night tonight."
"
The middle-aged male cultivator was shocked, but he looked calm on the outside and made a monk's salute: "I dare to ask my friend, but have you discovered anything?"
"You can't say, trust or not, you decide for yourself." Master Xuan conveyed the message to the caravan, then returned to his camp and started making dinner.
The middle-aged male cultivator returned to the army, rushed to the middle of the team, found the leader of the formation, and discussed it. After some discussion, he ordered the team to camp on the spot.
Mr. Xuan prepared dinner and still set the table outdoors for dinner. After dinner, he packed up the supplies and sat down to enjoy the night breeze and look at the stars. It was peaceful.
Mr. Xuan used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice and asked the little Loli: "Little beauty, how did you know that someone was waiting for this caravan in front of you?"
"This caravan has been stared at for more than a day or two." Le Yun put on a spiritual protective shield: "You have seen several adventure teams, you might as well guess which one it is."
Major General Yan Shaoxuan reviewed all the people he saw along the way, but still found nothing. The main reason was that the monks would hide their auras. If they were not too malicious, it would be difficult for others to find out whether they were friends or foes.
