Chapter 177 Swept away
Regarding the next development of Lianfeng Villa, Yue Lin explained several things that need to be paid attention to, but he impatiently threw the remaining trivial matters directly to Bai Yiyi.
"How to choose and employ people, let's talk about these trivial things after we come back from Aoki Gate. You can decide by yourself at that time. You can also discuss with Li Fan'an when there will be casual cultivators and warriors who are truly close to the innate world, and let me check it out."
"I understand."
"You go and clean up. We will set out tomorrow and head to Qingmu Gate." Yue Lin looked at Jiying who was still kneeling on the ground, hesitated and said, "Take her with you, and don't let her get close to the sect in the end."
Before dawn the next day, a few horses quietly left the villa gate and galloped towards the Qingmu Gate.
The cool breeze is whispering, and it is already late October. The autumn wind is gradually rising and the coolness is getting stronger.
Yue Lin and the other two did not fly directly in the air, but chose to ride a horse. After all, there is still one month left before November 18, which is enough for them to walk leisurely all the way through the ground.
The scenery on the edge of the official road quickly retreated. Yue Lin and Bai Yiyiren's horses were selected by Zhou's mansion. It was no problem to travel thousands of miles a day, but Yue Lin didn't want to keep running. Every time he ran for a while like a driving, he would deliberately slow down and walk slowly along the horse.
Jiying did not appear beside the two of them. She had been looming in places several miles to dozens of miles away from Yue Lin.
Although it is difficult for Yue Lin to see the extreme shadows that have been hidden by the shadows, there is a firm connection between the two, allowing him to accurately grasp every position where she is. This is the method Bai Yiyi took out. Even if he is not qualified to practice, he can use it. It is amazing.
On the third day, after leaving the Beicangfu territory, he entered a mountainous and desolate area.
The people here are strong, and there are many bandit swordsmen who have become bandits. In the past, merchants all traveled together to join forces to compete with the bandits. It is rare to run alone like Yue Lin and take two people who are obviously young women.
But until he passed through the eight hundred miles of barren mountain, no even a blind bandit came to harass the three of them. This made Yue Lin a little confused. However, it would be better to have less trouble than to have more things. Although with his current strength, even if there are more than a thousand bandits, it would be useless to save energy, why do you have to make yourself uncomfortable when you can save energy?
What Yue Lin didn't know was that in the eight hundred miles of barren mountain, all the bandits on the road he walked, regardless of size or number, had experienced a cruel and hellish ordeal.
Whether it was day or night, a large number of bandits suddenly died inexplicably. Each of them had only a fatal wound on their foreheads. But strangely, no one who survived by chance saw where the killing god was, how it killed people, and how it disappeared.
For a time, the few surviving bandits flew out of the eight hundred miles of barren mountains, and they hated their parents for giving birth to two feet. However, without exception, all the survivors followed the footsteps of other bandits for not long. The difference was that they experienced a period of fear and torture.
For Yue Lin, he just felt that the range of Jiying's movement in the past few days seemed to have expanded a little, and the frequency of movement was faster than before, so he had no feeling at all.
After Yue Lin, the caravans entering this area were puzzled why they were so quiet along the way. They soon became panic. As they went deeper, no one came to ask them to collect money and tap.
When I got here, the first tap should have been handed over long ago.
The caravan team walked a distance further. Several leading veteran merchants gathered together to make up, and they all felt distressed. They felt that the bosses in the village would not take the lead, so they would definitely take their heads.
In a shock, the caravan turned around decisively and turned back along the original road at a speed of several times faster than before. All the young and strong on the road were organized, holding swords and guns, and were on high alert.
It was not until they left the barren mountain and returned to the town that everyone breathed a long sigh and sighed, thanks to their quick reaction, otherwise they would definitely plunge into the trap of bandits.
The second group of caravans came to the last town outside the mountain and met the first group of caravans. Naturally, hesitantly stopped here, not daring to take another step forward.
Then there was the third and fourth groups. There were more and more merchants gathered in the entire city until all the inns were filled, and many people even slept in the carriage.
Next, a few of the most financially powerful and respected merchants were elected from the caravan team to represent everyone to the city lord's mansion.
After a large amount of money was thrown down, a conquest team with the city lord's mansion as the main body and carefully selected guards from the caravan team was established, and immediately marched towards the mountains.
A mountain village was empty, and dead bodies were everywhere, becoming a ghost village. The second mountain village was also a ghost village. When the conquest team discovered the fourth ghost village, almost even the most elite soldiers in the city lord's mansion were numb, and the two battles were fought, let alone those pieces of warriors.
Not long after, the rumors of evil ghosts being cannibalized on the eight hundred miles of barren mountain road spread thousands of miles away, and even the Beicang Mansion was heard of, but Yue Lin, the initiator of all this, was still leisurely heading towards his destination without knowing it.
"The first stop outside Aokimen Gate is coming, is Cuibai City?"
Yue Lin rode on the horse, put on a pergola in his hand, and squinted his eyes to observe the vague outline of the city in the distance.
"You haven't been here, let's go and take a look." After waiting for a while, there was no response, Yue Lin remembered that Bai Yiyi was the same as him. The first time he came here, he laughed and said, "Running horses and galloped."
Not far away, the shadows moved in the bushes and caught up with them for a few steps, but stopped at Yue Lin's order and slowly retreated in the opposite direction until he hid himself in a cave several miles away.
After continuing to approach Cuibai City, there were more pedestrians on the roads in all directions. Most of them accompanied a group of boys and girls to the city. There were also a small number of young people wearing simple clothes and even tattered clothes, carrying a bag and walking alone.
There are not many people walking on horseback like Yue Lin and Bai Yiyi. When they were less than a few miles away from the city gate, they were soon submerged in the bustling crowds.
"I didn't expect that such a remote city would have so many people." Yue Lin simply got off the horse and slowly followed the flow with the reins.
