In the early afternoon, Ji Ya sat alone at a table outside the restaurant, on which tea and dry food were placed, as well as a sword. A very ordinary sword, which can be bought at a blacksmith shop in any town. The current Ji Ya can't use the magic weapon very well, and Lin Yue just prepared a piece of mortal iron. Originally, Xu Ningshuang was going to give her a sword from the Lingshan faction, but Lin Yue refused, after all, Ji Ya was not a disciple of Lingshan.

The people who eat at noon gradually disperse, this small town is the only way to enter Jinhua Mountain, in addition to the local people, there are naturally merchants who come and go.

At the moment, a small caravan stopped to rest, looking at their appearance did not seem to be all the way, there were only four carts in total, it seemed that the things they were loaded were not the same, several merchants looked like they were sitting together with something, and a few Jianghu men who seemed to be guards were sitting at the other two tables.

The shopkeeper Xiao Er immediately greeted him hospitably, and when he heard a few people say that he would leave immediately after eating, Xiao Er hurriedly said: "A few guest officers, you can't go." ”

A businessman asked suspiciously, "Why can't you go?"

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "A few guest officers, there are monsters infested on this Jinhua Mountain, it's okay during the day, and I'm going to come out to catch people in the evening." Now you can't cross the mountain before going up the mountain at night, so it's better to stay in the town tonight, enter the mountain early tomorrow morning, and arrive at Laijiabao on the other side of the mountain in the evening. ”

A businessman asked curiously, "Have you ever seen that monster?"

Xiao Er scratched his head embarrassedly: "That's not true." But that's what everyone said, and several people who had been up the mountain overnight had already disappeared. ”

Someone was timid: "What else is going on?"

Some people didn't believe it, so they immediately asked: "Little second brother, since you know that there are monsters on the mountain, why don't you go to find a master to surrender, and let this monster do evil and hurt people?"

The little second brother said: "I don't know about this, it costs a lot to invite someone to subdue the demon, anyway, this monster has never gone down the mountain, so everyone doesn't want to take the lead, and if you can subdue the demon, it's okay, if you can't surrender but cause the monster to be angry, then it's not us who suffer, haha, yes, say too much, I'll serve you food." ”

As soon as Xiao Er left, several businessmen discussed again, "What do you think?"

"Judging by what he said, there shouldn't be any falsehood. ”

"I don't think so, if there are really harmful monsters on the mountain, can this town still live in peace, eight or nine times out of ten it is a lie to us. ”

"This ...... No, what's in it for them to tell a lie?"

"Think about it, if we listen to him and leave early tomorrow morning, we won't be allowed to stay here tonight? ”

"Hey, I didn't expect them to have this mind, and they dare to say any nonsense for the sake of silver. ”

"That's right, I'll just say, how can there be such a monster, let's leave in a while, and when we get to Laijiabao, I'll invite everyone to have a drink." ”

"But what if ......"

"Don't worry, what's in case, even if there are monsters on the mountain, haven't we also hired more than a dozen good hands in the rivers and lakes, and they don't even dare to go down the mountain, so they don't have to be afraid of him. ”

Several merchants chatted hotly, and the guards sitting at the other two tables were all temporarily hired by them, who were originally just small merchants, in order to save costs and take care of each other, they went together, and more than a dozen guards were hired by the merchants according to the proportion of their goods.

There was a young man among the guards, probably thirteen or fourteen years old, and as soon as he came, he saw Ji Ya, who wore a robe and a hat to cover her blonde hair, but everyone knew that she was a girl.

A bearded man with a big sword looked at Ji Ya and pressed his head: "Ziyun, do you miss a woman?" Also, when Lao Tzu was your age, he had already slept three or four. ”

The young man named Ziyun said: "No, Uncle Fan, I am strange, I see that the woman seems to be not very old, carrying a long sword, covering her face, sitting here alone. ”

Uncle Fan, who had a beard, said: "How many times have I told you, walking the rivers and lakes to be a guard, always remember not to be curious, not to cause trouble, otherwise it is easy to have an accident, understand? Ziyun thought about it and nodded.

As he was talking, several tall and strong people with swords on their waists walked this way, laughing and scolding the people in the town along the way, it seemed that it should be the head snake here, and the others also replied with a wry smile, it seemed that they didn't want to have anything to do with them.

The leader inadvertently glanced over here and saw Ji Ya, although he didn't see the whole picture, but it was half of the face that he glimpsed, and his intuition also told him that this was a rare little beauty.

Seeing that there was no one around Ji Ya, the leader took a few younger brothers to surround him. The leader is not without eyesight, if he is a person in the rivers and lakes in ordinary years, how dare ordinary ruffians easily provoke, but now it is so chaotic, there are many people with swords and knives, but they themselves do not use it, it is more just a deterrent. After observation, the leader felt that Ji Ya should be the same, but how could anyone with some ability carry a broken iron sword from a township workshop?

Ziyun and Luo Beard were eating, and when they saw this situation, they frowned, Ziyun put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to step forward, but the old beard grabbed him: "Don't make too much trouble, the owner gives you a commission to let you be a guard, not to cause trouble." ”

Ziyun snorted and sat down again, and the leader over there sat down in front of Ji Ya with a smile: "The girl looked at Miansheng, from out of town?"

Ji Ya was a little disgusted, she didn't know who these people were, but her instinctive reaction told her that these were not good things, and she wanted to get up and leave, and several of her subordinates surrounded her, blocking Ji Ya's retreat. Ji Ya raised her eyebrows and shook the sword in her hand, but she still didn't pull it out, after all, although she is now a cultivator, she still rarely lets go with others, Lin Yue left for the time being, she didn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing this, the leader of the ruffians immediately decided that Ji Ya was just an ordinary woman who used a sword to defend herself, and there was no need to be afraid of anything, so he reached out and grabbed Ji Ya's shoulder: "Sister, don't leave in a hurry, brother, I haven't finished my words yet......"

Unexpectedly, this pull pulled down Ji Ya's robe and cloth hat, her blonde hair shone in the sun, and the leader laughed: "It turned out to be a Nanyi woman...... Hahaha......" Several of his subordinates also burst into laughter.

Originally, the people around them were a little angry, some lamented, and some regretful when they saw them flirting with a girl from other places, but now they were pointing at Ji Ya one-sidedly. Ji Ya did not change color because of the guidance around her, after all, the blonde hair that she had brought since she was a child had already brought her a lot of discrimination.

The leader made up his mind, if there is a big chaos today, there are many people who sell their children and daughters, and a Nanyi little girl is not much more expensive than a livestock in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm not going to simmer on a warm fire at all, and I'm going to tie people up directly.

Before she could speak, Ziyun over there couldn't sit still: "Stop!"

The leader is unhappy, there are still people here who dare to disobey me? When he saw that it was a hairy boy, he immediately said: "Whose trouser belt is not tightly fastened, and you are leaked, don't meddle with me here, otherwise you will know that I am a great Beishan Tiger!"

Ziyun mentioned his sword, where can he control this: "You scoundrels, keep me away from that girl, otherwise my long sword won't recognize you!"

Beishan Tiger is very angry, he has been the king and hegemon in this town for several years, today there is a foreigner who dares to come to sweep his face, and with a wave of his hand, he will call his subordinates to rush up, don't look at Ziyun's youth, his swordsmanship is not bad, and four or five people can deal with the siege, and they will all be hit in two strokes, and the leader will also wave his sword and rush up when he sees this.

Lin Yue in the distance took in everything, shook his head and secretly said that it was a pity, it was not that he didn't find this gang of ruffians, on the contrary, he had already left an arrangement by Ji Ya's side, once Ji Ya was in danger, he would immediately know that these people were originally Lin Yue was going to stay for Ji Ya to break through the boundary.

Although Ji Ya's skills are not weak, and the kung fu in her hands has also increased a little, but she is still in a bind, think about herself at the beginning, didn't she also realize it during the catastrophe of the fishing village, although Ji Ya now has the advantage of competition, but she has no heart to shine the sword.

It's a pity, a hot-blooded kid rushed up first, seeing that Ziyun just taught these ruffians a lesson and blasted them away, Lin Yue shook his head, his little apprentice was still a little timid, if his senior sister was in this position silently, I am afraid that these people have now arrived in Fengdu. Thinking of the silent whisper, Lin Yue inexplicably had a heart jam.

After Ziyun rescued Ji Ya, he asked, "Girl, are you okay?"

Before Ji Ya could speak, Lin Yue shouted from afar: "Ya'er!"

Ji Ya no longer paid attention to Ziyun, and immediately responded: "Master!"

"Ya'er, let's go. ”

"Well, yes, Master. ”

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ziyun was bored with himself, and he didn't take it to heart and turned around to leave, but he heard a voice coming to his ear: "Young man, if you stay on the mountain tonight, remember, you can't eat or touch the things sent by others, understand?"

Ziyun turned his head suddenly, but he didn't see anyone else talking, and the figures of Lin Yue and Ji Ya slowly moved away, he didn't know what was going on, he returned to his caravan, and said with a smile: "You kid is miserable!" As he said, the merchant paid him to work, and he acted chivalrous this time, not only to make enemies with people, but also to provoke a local force, as a businessman, he is extremely unwilling to see.

Lin Yue took Ji Ya to look at Jinhua Mountain not far away: "Ya'er, the little brother who saved you just now may be in trouble tonight." ”

Ji Ya hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Ziyun not only saved her, but also there was no discrimination from ordinary people in her eyes, which Ji Ya could feel.

Lin Yue said: "It's nothing, I mentioned him, if anything happens again, I can only blame this person's life." You've been cultivating with me for a while, and I haven't let you really make a move. Today I will give you a test, you go up the mountain now, according to your steps, you will probably be able to reach Laijiabao in the south of Jinhua Mountain before tomorrow morning, I will wait for you there, you go first. ”

Ji Ya hesitated at first, but she still did as Lin Yue said, as for Lin Yue not planning to leave first, she was not surprised, after all, Lin Yue could fly.

Not long after Ji Ya entered the mountain, the group of businessmen also entered Jinhua Mountain, although several employers were very dissatisfied with Ziyun's unauthorized action, but they were reluctant to Ziyun's good swordsmanship, so they just reprimanded him slightly.
