The uneven dirt road, about three meters wide, can only accommodate one horse-drawn carriage. If two carriages were to walk side by side, the whole road would be blocked.

Five carriages moved slowly on the road, three of which were empty, for the coachman and the guards to take turns to rest, one of them was dedicated to Fang Xile, after all, she was the only woman in the team, and the daughter of the head of the family, Fang Huaishan, with the highest status.

The other two carriages were loaded with goods, which were not much, because this trade route had not yet been opened, and there might be robbers or other dangers on the way, so bring less goods and reduce losses.

The entire caravan had eight coachmen and five warriors, the eldest of whom was Zheng An.

He is not only an acquired sixth-layer martial artist, but also settles accounts and does business, and his two children are both on errands in the Fang family's industry, so he is quite trusted by the Fang family.

The other four martial artists, except for Fang Xile, are Ma Hulu and the two brothers Jiazuo and Jiayou, who are not very old, they are all twenty or thirty years old, and their cultivation ranges from the second to the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow.

They were originally all loose cultivators, and they had only recently been recruited to the Fang family, and because they were close in age, they quickly became acquainted.

"You say, why did the Fang family send Miss Fang to follow, when you see it, you can't lift your hands and shoulders to resist, and you have to protect us when you encounter danger. Ma Hulu said dissatisfiedly.

"That is, a woman, it will not be useful at a critical moment, and it will drag us down. Jiazuo laughed.

Jia You frowned: "You actually dare to talk about Miss Fang behind your back, are you bold?"

"Brother, you don't have to worry, I heard that this young lady is not favored at all, and her martial arts qualifications are also poor, and she only became an acquired martial artist at the age of eighteen, otherwise how could she be sent out to open up business routes. ”

Kazuo said nonchalantly.

"Alas, what kind of cultivation do you say she has just become acquired?" asked Ma Hulu.

"It should be the first level of the day after tomorrow, but all the descendants of the Fang family, after becoming an acquired martial artist, will issue three Qi Replenishing Pills to help them open up a meridian. ”

"Three Qi Replenishing Pills?" Ma Hulu exclaimed.

"Be quiet. Jia You couldn't wait to plug the mouth of the horse gourd, and then glared at his younger brother, this big mouth, he said everything.

Ma Hulu nodded and lowered his voice: "Then you say, has she used up all the Qi Replenishing Pills?"

"It must be used up, what to keep it for, even if it is useless, do you still dare to fight Miss Fang's idea?"

Ma Hulu scratched his head and smirked, looking honest, but a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes: "Of course I don't dare, no matter how I say it, she is also a young lady from the Fang family." ”

Jia You glanced at him and said lightly, "It's good that you know." ”

At this moment, Fang Xile, the object of their discussion, was sitting in the carriage reading the "Minutes of Qi Practitioners".

Unlike the guesses of the three people, she is already a fourth-level martial artist the day after tomorrow.

The fourth meridian was opened, and five Qi Replenishing Pills were used up.

The human body is resistant to pills, and the effect is best when taken for the first time, and then gradually weakens, and in the end it is better than nothing.

In the beginning, it only took three Qi Replenishing Pills to open up one meridian, but now it needs five, so it is estimated that if you open up the next meridian, wouldn't it take eight or nine Qi Replenishing Pills, and the more you go forward, the more you will be able to improve your cultivation with Qi Replenishing Pills.

Either change to other pills, or you have to cultivate on your own in a down-to-earth manner.

But this is also normal, if the pill can improve the cultivation infinitely, then what kind of martial arts do you practice, it is directly more powerful than who has money and power in the family, and the more pills you get will be over.

Pills are rare, and his cultivation speed is too slow, so Fang Xile focuses on Yin Qi.

Yin Qi is not uncommon, and in places where there is no sunlight for a long time, Yin Qi remains, but the amount is too small.

Then there is to find the place of gathering yin, which is oriented east-west or northwest, the geographical location is humid, the surrounding area is sparsely populated, and there are usually strange things happening, and there may be ghosts entrenched here.

The last one is ghosts, but all ghosts have yin energy on them.

There are also differences between ghosts, from weak to strong: ghosts, little ghosts, resentful ghosts, powerful ghosts, evil ghosts, ghost generals, ghost kings, and yin gods.

Among them, the ghost is the weakest, almost no ability to hurt people, at most it can make people feel cold all over the body, and there are many weaknesses, afraid of the sun, afraid of the fire and yang, afraid of the black dog blood, and even the yang people are afraid. For example, martial artists, with enough qi and blood, the ghosts will never dare to get close.

And the little ghost has the ability to harm people, they have a wide variety, and there are various ways to harm people.

Some are just scary, others are nasty. For example, the water ghost, also known as the drowning ghost, after drowning in the water, suffers from flooding every day, and must find a substitute to get out.

So they stood by the water's edge, tempted passers-by to come near, and pulled them into the water and drowned.

There is also a kind of ghost called the grief, which is specially in the way of begging for food, if you are kind enough to give food, it will haunt you from now on, and if you don't give it one day, it will retaliate fiercely, but if you drive them away the first time, it will be fine.

Ghosts and ghosts are the two most common types of ghosts, while the ghosts in the back are vicious and abnormal, and ordinary people are dead and lifeless.

In addition, ghosts are also divided into two categories, one is a ghost with a substance, ordinary people are more courageous and can hit them, and the other ghost thing has no entity, only the aura of the qi practitioner and the true qi of the innate martial artist can be opposed.

"Miss Fang," Zheng An's voice came from outside the car window.

Fang Xile opened the window and called Captain Zheng.

"Miss Fang, it's time for us to put away the Fang family's flag. Zheng An respectfully asked, although he was the person in charge of this caravan, Fang Xile was a descendant of the Fang family after all, and he still had to do it on the surface.

"Everything is arranged by Captain Zheng. Fang Xile replied, and then asked curiously, "Why did you accept the Fang family's flag?"

"We are already far away from the realm of Luo County, and the flag of the Fang family has no deterrent effect here, and if it is planted again, others will think it is a provocation. ”

I see, Fang Xile nodded, got off the carriage, and changed to riding a horse.

Although it is more comfortable to ride in a car than to ride a horse, you will have back pain after a day of work, and you will not be able to see the scenery along the way.

"Captain Zheng, where are we?"

"Miss, please look at the map. Zheng An handed over the route map of the caravan with both hands.

In the past, the Fang family went to the county town of Yinjiang County to buy the materials needed by the warriors, but because there was a behemoth in Yinjiang County, Cangyan Villa, most of the warriors' materials were taken care of by them, so even the resources of the warriors in the county town were not many, and the price was expensive.

The destination of this caravan is Yangcheng County, Yangcheng County only has some small sects, and there is no ability to take care of everything, so the warriors are relatively sufficient and the price is cheaper.

If this trade route can be passed, the Fang family's martial artists will be equipped with pills in the future, and other resources will be upgraded to a higher level.

However, the distance is a little far, first from Yinjiang County to Xingluo County, and then to Yangcheng County, all the way through more than ten counties, about a month to walk, counting the purchase of things, the unexpected situation is delayed, and it takes about three months to go back and forth.
