In the 76,366th year of the Taiyi Dynasty of Shenzhou, the rain in the south lasted for a whole spring, and finally turned into a torrential rain when the plums were ripe.

The pervasive rain and the strife between countries have made the ordinary people in the south of China miserable.

The once beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River has long been empty in wars, natural disasters, and man-made disasters, and the surviving people have gathered their last strength and fled to the north of the Central Plains with their families. However, the insect plague and severe drought in the north in recent years have gradually eaten away at the national strength of several large countries.

What awaits the victims in the south seems to be nothing but despair.

"XX, this thief is really endless!" A black-faced man led the horse with one hand, wiped the rain from his face with the other, and spat at the sky.

"Wan Laosan, just shut up!" one of his companions smacked him weakly: "In this world, what's the use of you scolding God? Maybe your scolding will make God annoyed, won't those people be even more difficult?"

The black-faced man said fiercely, "Phew! I don't know when you, a monkey, had such kindness." ”

The rest of the companions, who were tired from braving the rain to hurry, heard the conversation between Wan Laosan and Hu Monkey, and only twitched the corners of their mouths.

The pouring rain slammed down on the dark canopies and tall horses.

Wan Laosan's group was a caravan that traveled from south to north, or rather, a team that collected goods for a certain branch of the Wanbao Pavilion.

Among this group of people, there were monks and ordinary people.

Whether it is drought or flooding, the impact on monks and demon beasts is always much smaller. But while the world is uneasy, business opportunities are increasing, and the risks on the road are also far increasing.

Rampant demon beasts, as well as robbers who take advantage of the fire, and even outcasts who can't survive.

The first two are a big deal, but the latter really makes Wan Laosan, a man who goes south and north, can't help but scold the sky.

The difference between immortals and mortals is like a moat.

No matter how rich Wanbao Pavilion is, it can't take care of the refugees all over the world.

The Xuanmen faction sent disciples to rescue people, but it could not help the entire Shenzhou.

How are the unclothed outcasts their opponents?

But these guards, who used to kill people without blinking, failed to do so in the face of such powerless homeless people.

However, the desperate gaze of the outcasts when they left was deeply imprinted in the hearts of each and every one of them.

The atmosphere became more and more calm, and the leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man surnamed Chen, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his shrewd eyes. He walked to the front of the man riding a dark steed, and said in a low voice: "You Ye, you have also been on the road for a day, it is better to go to the town in front to rest for a while." ”

The horse under the crotch of "You Ye" snorted, and it looked very different from other depressed horses.

Wan Laosan and the others also heard Steward Chen's words, and looked at You Ye one after another, with a look of awe and envy in their eyes.

The rain was pouring down, and everyone was still soaking wet in their robes, even if Wan Laosan was a master among ordinary people, he didn't dare to block the rain with internal force all the time, in case of a surprise attack by demon beasts.

But that You Ye only wore a hat, but his whole body was not touched by a piece of water, and he was obviously the highest cultivation among them.

"Good. You Ye replied in a low voice.

The town in front, named "Luofeng Town", is about 700 miles away from Yunmeng Daze. After the "medicine picker" left Yunmeng Daze, he first went to the nearby "Shunze City" to supply or sell it on the spot, but the scarcity was expensive, and the things of Yunmeng Daze were naturally more expensive in the north.

Luofeng Town is the second stop that must be passed back to the north.

In Yunmeng Daze, there are many dangers, and the legendary Five Sects of the Demon Gate are in the south of Yunmeng Daze.

However, in such a poisonous barrier swamp, there are many strange monsters and precious spiritual materials, which drive countless monks to search for them with perseverance.

These monks, who have been searching for spiritual materials and hunting demon beasts near Yunmeng Daze for many years, are known as "medicine pickers".

The caravan of Wanbao Pavilion is actually a group of "medicine pickers".

After a continuous heavy rain, the streets of Luofeng Town were almost empty. The aborigines have long since left, and all that remains are a few monks and people who are on their way.

You Ye looked at the closed shops around him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Steward Chen didn't expect that Luofeng Town had unconsciously reached this point, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"You Ye, Steward Chen!" Hu Monkey walked quickly, "On the entire street, only the tea shop of the Jin family's father and daughter is still open. ”

You Ye didn't speak, only nodded, and everyone went to the tea shop of the Jin family's father and daughter.

Jin Laohan was also a ninth-level refining monk in the Tibetan essence period in his early years, because he injured his legs and feet when he was a "medicine picker", he returned to Luofeng Town to have children, and opened this tea shop to provide supplies and rest for people who came and went, and the business was not bad.

Today, most of the seats in the Jin family's tea shop are empty, and Jin Laohan is sitting by the boiler that is boiling water, staring at the heavy rain outside the curtain, patting his injured leg and sighing.

During the rainy season, there are few people in a hurry.

Coupled with such heavy rain, there are fewer and fewer people in the town, and Jin Laohan doesn't know if he will stay. After all, his legs are really difficult in this kind of stormy weather.

When You Ye and his entourage arrived, Jin Laohan's tea shop was a little more popular.

His daughter Xiaofeng was worried about her father's inconvenience in his legs and feet, so she volunteered to be busy and handed You Ye and all of them a bowl of steaming tea.

"Sister Xiaofeng, you are getting more and more spiritual! What gold and silver jewelry is missing, tell your brother Wan! Make sure that all the girls around here envy you!" Wan Laosan poured a bowl of tea, sensing the ginger flavor and warmth in it, and couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart to tease Xiaofeng.

Steward Chen coughed lightly, and Wan Laosan closed his mouth when he saw You Ye's unhappy gaze.

How do you know that Xiaofeng, who has always been shy, said softly: "...... Where are the other sisters around here......"

Xiao Feng's words fell like a sigh like a feather in everyone's hearts.

The rain was still pouring down outside the door, and everyone was upset for no reason.

Wan Laosan was in a better mood, but he was washed away by the rain again, and he couldn't help but want to slap the table on the spot. Who knows, there are people in the tea shop who are one step faster than him.

"Smack!" the tea bowl was slammed on the table, "It's a mess everywhere! Not to mention ordinary people, even those of us who are casual cultivators can't stand it!"

This man's words were like water in a pot of oil, which immediately caused a lot of discussion among the rest of the people in the teahouse.

"yes. I heard that the senior herb picker who returned earlier this time said that almost nothing was produced in Yunmeng Daze, as if it had dried up......"

"There was a great drought in the north and heavy rain in the south...... Chen and Liang fought endlessly...... I can't figure it out, what are the two countries fighting? Isn't it the end of being annexed by Dachu sooner or later?"

"The Xiuzhen family and the major factions don't care. ”

"What's the matter? The monk took action to destroy them? That's the big mess! You don't want to think about whose territory Chen Liang and the two countries are close to? That's the Blood River Sect! I'm afraid that the Demon Sect can't wait for those mortals to die as much as possible!"

"The righteous path in the north has sent disciples to the world for relief, but if this thief continues to be so willful, I am afraid that the family and the Xuanmen faction will also be powerless. ”

"It's messy, it's messy. Look at how many demon beasts there are on the road than in the past? ”

Wan Laosan, Hu Monkey and others couldn't help but join in the gossip.

At this time, someone suddenly slapped the table and said: "It was all six years ago! Think about it, if the major families were not badly damaged that time, if the Xiaolang Villa was still there, wouldn't it be a hundred times better now?"

"Yes, I've also heard that at that time, for some reason, all the families were attacked, and even the Laughing Wave Villa was burned down. The various sects also said that they would work together to find the murderer, but later there were situations in various places, and there was no result in this matter. ”

"It's not that ...... Is that Xiao Zhuo behind the scenes?"

"Phew! Master Ouyang personally vouched, of course it wasn't Xiao Zhuo. If it was really Xiao Zhuo's doing, the owner of Ouyang Zhuang had a dead son, and he didn't want to fight hard?!"

You Ye didn't speak all the time, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the person who spoke just now: "What did you say? Who died?"

The teahouse had long noticed that this You Ye was dry, and it was obvious that his cultivation far surpassed them, and they all calmed down.

"Yes...... Be...... Second Master Wei ......" the person who spoke just now stammered.

You Ye Huo Ran stood up, his eyes showed sadness, and he seemed to be remembering something.

Others thought he was going to say something or do something, but in the end, You Ye only sat down slowly.

You Ye's strange appearance attracted everyone's attention, and he also ignored that a person in the corner who had been lying on the table to take a nap also moved slightly.

"At the beginning, Cunwei Mountain, Yuxu Mountain, and Danding faction all said that they would find out the truth, and the results were ...... Hehe......" A thin man sneered: "Such a big thing, it can be so bad, decent...... But that's it. ”

"It's as if you know the inside story very well! Even if someone from a famous family finds out something, they won't tell you clearly!"

"But then again. In recent years, there have been so many things, but I have rarely heard of any movement in Cunweishan. Taiwei Zhenren is so highly respected, why is it that as soon as he retreats, Cunwei Mountain seems to be like Ciyun Zhai and can't escape from the world? Even the disciples who are walking outside are much less than other sects such as Yuxu Mountain. ”

"There aren't many disciples in Cunwei, and that's normal. But...... I heard that there was an ugly incident in Cunweishan back then, and I am afraid that it will be like this because of the impact of that incident. ”

"What's the ugly thing?" Hearing the secrets of the famous faction, everyone came to the heart.

The man coughed lightly and said, "I heard that Cunwei had a traitor who killed his division commander and fled. ”

"And such a thing?!" everyone else was shocked.

Steward Chen's face was calm, and You Ye's face also sank, but judging from the expressions of the two of them, it was obvious that they had already heard of it.

"I heard that the traitorous disciple still had a little name outside back then, and it seems that his surname is ......."

The man continued to reveal proudly, but you Ye took the case, pointed at him and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! If you say another word, believe it or not, I pulled out your tongue and made you speechless!"

The tea shop was silent for a moment, and the face of the person who spoke turned red, and he only promised.

Seeing that the rest of the people were looking at him a little unkindly, Steward Chen stepped forward and persuaded You Ye in his ear: "You Ye, why bother? I know that you received the kindness of that person back then, but ...... You can stop this person's mouth, but you can't stop the mouth of the world. ”

You Ye's face was cloudy, and he knew that he was no longer the unrestrained casual cultivator in his early years, so he relaxed and sat down.

In the tea shop, the previous conversation was also resumed, but the conversation was much quieter.

At this time, the black-clothed man in the corner, who had been lying on the table and had never spoken, put a small grain of Yuan Jing on the table, ready to get up and leave.

This man in black lowered his head, dressed no different from any medicine picker, with a pair of vicious inverted triangular eyes, and a fierce aura on his body, which was prohibitive.

When this person passed by You Ye's table, he glanced at You Ye as if he was nothing, and then put on his hat and left.

You Ye subconsciously raised his head, and happened to collide with the person's line of sight, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Before the chair was hot, You Ye got up again, directly lifted the door curtain, and looked at the back that was gradually moving away in the heavy rain, with a look of horror and vigilance in his eyes.

"You Ye, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that You Ye's expression was wrong, Steward Chen thought that he was still angry just now, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

How do you know that You Ye ignored it, and muttered in a low voice: "It's him?"

Wan Laosan and Hu Monkey also sensed that something was wrong, and asked one after another, "You Ye, is there something wrong with that person?"

You Ye showed a look in his eyes as if he was facing a great enemy, and turned to the rest of the people: "You stay here, I'll come when I go!"

After speaking, You Ye also plunged into the heavy rain.
