"Chapter Twenty-Four, The Road Encounter"
June, North Vietnam.
On this day, after four months of trekking, Baili Lin finally came to the border city of Beiyue, Bei Ming City, and the way to Beibi Mountain, Bai Lishan was not very clear, so he wanted to go to Bei Ming City first to figure out how to get to Beibi Mountain. Judging from the record of "Travels", the place where the elders of the outer gate of the Cliff Sect sat in Mingqing was in a cave in Funiu Peak in Beibi Mountain. Now that I have read his travelogue and broadened my horizons, I have a causal relationship with him when I have grown my knowledge, whether he wants to or not, he has to fulfill his last wish for others to break this cause and effect.
The way to Beibi Mountain, Baili Lin is not very clear, so he wants to go to Beiming City first to figure out how to get to Beibi Mountain.
Beiming City is one of the big cities on the border city of Qishui, the water and land transportation is convenient, it is the place where the merchants from all over the world gather and convert, it is very prosperous, and the houses and shops on both sides of the street are lined up while walking, and the ears listen to the shouting and selling sound one after another, and the heart is a feeling.
"Get out, get out of here, I'm refreshed, my luck is shining, everyone can see it, and you are still using your cheap life to tell my fortune? Get out of the way!" There was a noise in front of me, mixed with a burst of laughter.
The handsome young man, who looked fairly handsome, was squeezing out of the crowd with an angry face.
Behind him was a thin middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a gray cloth robe, with a few strands of goatee under his chin, and holding a long rod in his left hand, on which was hung a strip of white cloth, on which were written crookedly, 'Clever calculation, iron mouth kills' eight big characters.
The middle-aged man in the green shirt looked like a down-and-out scholar, looking at the fat man's back with a bitter face.
The young man squeezed out of the crowd, spat behind him, and said, "Bad luck, if you are in Dajing, I will beat you so much that I don't even know your mother." "Walked past Baili Lone.
The middle-aged man in the green shirt said to the onlookers beside him: "Xiaoshengguan, your Yintang shines......
Before he finished speaking, the man pushed him away and sneered: "You have been here for three days, and if you say these two sentences, you can deceive the foreign Kaizi, and your mother wants to cheat Lao Tzu's money?
The crowd of onlookers immediately burst into laughter and dispersed.
Bai Li Lin is not interested in this kind of fortune teller, if he can really calculate his own blessings and misfortunes, and what kind of Tao and what immortals he practiced, the reason why he stood here and watched was because he could add fun to the boring practice, and that's all.
Beibi Mountain in the capital of Beiyue, more than 300 miles outside Beijing, Baili Lin thought that he did not have anything important, so he planned to walk around, since this is the case, it is better to find a dart game, along the way can also enjoy the scenery of North Vietnam, make up your mind, Bai Li Lin asked passers-by about Weiyuan, one of the three major dart games in North Vietnam, will return to Dajing tomorrow.
Standing in front of a big mansion, the plaque on the house has four big characters 'Weiyuan Dart Bureau', judging from the shining gold paint on the big characters on the plaque and the two huge stone lions at the door, this 'one of the largest dart games in North Vietnam' lives up to its name.
The compound of the dart bureau was a busy scene, and many executioners were sorting out seventeen or eighteen carriages full of goods.
Old man Yang is eighty and three this year, stuck in the realm of blood exchange for more than 20 years, has begun to go downhill, did not expect God to have mercy on himself to be able to enjoy the treatment of the grandmaster in his lifetime, he has worked in the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau all his life, from the initial handyman to the current dart master He is very content.
Old man Yang saw a young man wearing a gray shirt and cloth shoes with a long sword on his back walking in, as an old man he would not judge people by his appearance, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he had seen a lot of chivalrous people in the game world, although this person didn't look like he was in kung fu, but he still quickly got up from his seat and hugged his fist and said, "Under Yang Le, add the dart head of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, I don't know what is the matter with your guest?"
"I heard that you are leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'm here to join you. Bai Li Lin said.
Old man Yang looked at it and said: "It's no problem to partner up, but the road to the capital is far away, and the road is not very smooth. ”
Baili Lonely didn't speak, took out thirty taels of silver from his bosom, put it on his seat, and said, "What time will you leave tomorrow?"
Old man Yang saw Baili Lin calling for silver so happily, and thought to himself, sure enough, he was not mistaken, and said, "In the morning, the distinguished guests will meet at the gate of the dart bureau early tomorrow morning. ”
Early the next morning.
A convoy drove out of the gate of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, out of Beiming City, and headed for Dajing.
The seventeen or eighteen cars in front were all consignments this time, all of which were guarded by dart masters and executioners on both sides, and Old Man Yang and the other five people rode a tall horse, carrying a thick-backed knife on their backs, and walked in the front.
Behind the convoy, followed by five people, all of whom were individual passengers who went to Luojing this time, in addition to Baili Lone, there were four people, all of whom came to Dajing from other places, two middle-aged men accompanied by a white-haired old man, and a little girl, who looked like they should be a family.
The situation in North Vietnam has been a little chaotic over the years, there are many bandits and robbers, North Vietnam and Dayong are different from the Jianghu sect here to assist the imperial court to manage the country, which also makes this country extremely chaotic, not a master, there are not more than a dozen ordinary warriors, and they dare not take such a long journey.
For several days in a row, the road was quite peaceful, and they all found villages and towns where they stayed, but looking at Old Man Yang's appearance, he didn't dare to relax at all, and he didn't talk to the five of them.
On this day, from morning to evening, the convoy was still moving in a hill, in the sky, there was a faint black dot hovering, it should be a big bird, others would not care about the birds in the sky, but Baili Lonely was different, he had already found that for two consecutive days, the convoy had been following this bird, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.
The sun was sinking in the west, and Old Man Yang was already signaling to camp on the spot, and the night was getting dark, and those men from the dart bureau ate something, and then dispersed, resting around, except for ten people on duty, everyone else entered the tent to rest.
The sky is bright and moonlight, Baili Lonely leans against a big tree, closes his eyes slightly, leaving only a gap, looking at the stars in the eastern sky, the true yuan sword intent in his body sprouts, and he shakes the Dao with the help of the sword.
Under the moonlight, the four dart heads and the chief dart head of the dart bureau walked out of the tent and gathered in one place with a solemn face, as the chief dart head of the dart bureau, Wang Mang said, "Everyone should pay attention to the falcon during the day, dare to hit our Zhenyuan dart bureau The idea is definitely not simple, you order to go down, step up your vigilance in case of accidents, the four of you are scattered around, pay attention to vigilance, if there is any wind and grass, immediately send a signal, go, old man Yang stays." ”
After the three of them left, Wang Mang asked Old Man Yang, "Do you think they are coming for us or are they from the individual guests?"
Old man Yang lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "I can't say, Grandmaster and I both know that the Qi Breaking Pill we carried this time is a holy medicine to break through the Martial Saint Realm, although it is secret, it is not guaranteed that the news has been leaked, I mean, if it is not for us to have a problem here, then the biggest possibility is that it is against those four people." “
Wang Mang said, "As I thought, if you rush at those four people, you can only call people out for the sake of the Qi Breaking Pill." After speaking, a murderous aura flashed on his face.
Old man Yang persuaded him, "Master Grandmaster, this will damage the reputation of our dart game, if the rivers and lakes know, how we can gain a foothold in North Vietnam, please think twice." ”
Wang Mang said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the Qi Breaking Pill, I can't control so much, if I can't safely send the pill to you and I to death." ”
Old man Yang was helpless when he saw this,
Bai Li Lin heard their conversation and frowned slightly.
In the middle of the moon, one of the dart masters and two executioners on duty discovered the anomaly and hurriedly sent out a signal. The people who had prepared for the dart game surrounded all the vehicles in a circle and guarded them outside.
"Hahaha......" A long laugh that shook the sky came, and a fire dragon lit up in the forest, and rushed out thirty or forty men with torches and blades in their hands, and lined up in two teams in the clearing in the forest.
A tall man strode out of the two groups of men and walked to the front. Wang Mang's face was gloomy, and he stood in front with two dart masters, staring at the big man.
"Grandpa Tiger Head Spear Zhang Feng, I have come to borrow a few money to spend today, if you don't resist, no one will be injured!" The big man Zhang Feng slammed the mixed iron spear in his hand on the ground, and looked at the people in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau.
Wang Mang stepped forward and said, "It's easy to say, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, since friends should help when they are in trouble, there are three hundred taels of silver here, and I will take them to drink wine for my brother." ”
"Damn, you can't be a grandfather, you want to send us away for three hundred taels, and no one wants to leave alive without eighteen thousand. ”
"You have such a big appetite, you are not afraid of eating a bad stomach, and there is a life. ”
Over there, we have already disagreed with the bandit Zhang Feng, and we have exchanged hands, both of them are in the realm of grandmasters, not far apart, the moves are wide open and closed, the fight is extremely lively, the strong wind provokes everyone to retreat, and the fire of the torches in the hands of those bandits also shakes sharply.
At the same time, Baili Lin turned his eyes and looked at the bandits, behind those bandits, in the shadows of the firelight, a few black shadows less than three feet suddenly appeared, the firelight swayed, and those black shadows fluttered and flickered, left and right, extremely weird.
A cold wind blew, the trees were shaking, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, a thief shrunk his neck, subconsciously looked back, a black shadow was silent, pounced on his face, the thief who was pounced on was trembling all over, fell to the ground softly, another thief found that something was wrong, squatted down to look at his companion, the black shadow pounced again, and knocked him down as well.
Bai Li Lin saw that the first thief who was pounced, his face was sallow and shriveled, which was a manifestation of the essence being sucked away, and his attainments in "Spell" should be done by a monk in the Dragon and Tiger realm.
