The scale of Jiangling City is actually not larger than the city that Lin Fan has visited, but perhaps because it is better planned, the whole city gives people a sense of grandeur, and the spacious streets are full of people, revealing the city's great popularity.

And Lin Fan found that among the monks who came and went in the city, there were obviously a lot fewer ghost monks who exuded yin qi on their bodies. In the old castle, almost one out of every three monks was a ghost monk. And here, there is not necessarily a ghost monk among the thirty people.

It seems that the ghost cultivators are a minority even within the Demon Gate. After all, normal people don't like to deal with zombie ghosts every day. Relatively speaking, the Han Kingdom is already the area with the largest concentration of ghost monks in the Demon Gate.

Shui Bourne escorted the convoy to a large trading house in the city, delivered dozens of truckloads of goods, and then began to reload new goods, ready to pull them to Xiangyang City.

And these guards and coachmen of the caravan can finally rest for a while.

Water Bourne announced: In addition to the group of people on duty, the other coachmen, guests, and guards who are not on duty will all have a three-day holiday. As for himself, he moved a chair and sat at the door of the trading house, his eyes half-closed to recuperate.

Lin Fan had a vague feeling that Shui Bourne was waiting for someone to appear. But he didn't dare to make assertions.

"Forget it, what happened to the Shui family caravan, or what kind of plot did it have to do with me? I just need to arrive in Xiangyang safely!" Lin Fan secretly mused: "I'd better go and find the Hundred Poison Demon Lord first! "Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Pavilion and cut his mouth

His identity is a guest of the Shui family's caravan, and his actions are completely free, just need to say hello to the deputy leader.

So, after Lin Fan said something to Shui Qin, a deputy leader who was in charge of the guests, he left the trading house and walked to the north of the city.

Soon after Lin Fan left. From the inner courtyard of the trading house, a beautiful woman, about twenty-three or four years old, came out. She was dressed in a blue shirt and a short skirt, and her steps were very hurried.

And behind her, there was a large group of guards. They were wearing the same clothes as the caravan guards, and they were obviously also from the Shui family.

When everyone in the caravan saw this woman, they were immediately in awe, and they didn't dare to come out.

Shui Bourne hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Hello Miss!"

The beautiful woman nodded, and then said softly, "I finally persuaded the Ruan Firm. Sell all their remaining amethyst sand to our Shui family. Uncle En, you tell everyone to pack the goods as soon as possible! Then we will rush back to Xiangyang immediately! Now that time is pressing, we can't afford to put it off!"

Shui Boen nodded, but then his face was worried, and he whispered to the woman: "Miss, before entering the city, send Song Laosan, who went to the front to inquire about the news, to send a message back." He said that there was a group of masked bandits in front of him who could not detect his cultivation, trying to ambush the caravan. And judging from the actions of these bandits, nine times out of ten they are aimed at our caravan, and he suspects that it may be someone from the Wang family. ”

When the stunning woman heard this, her pretty face suddenly changed, and she asked eagerly, "What about Song Laosan, why didn't he come back himself?"

Shui Bourne sighed and said, "Song Laosan has been found and killed by that group, but he finally passed the news back with the Black Wing Iron Eagle before he died. I don't dare to explain it to you now, for fear of causing turmoil in people's hearts. It's just that there may be monsters ahead. ”

After hearing this, the stunning woman nodded and said, "Uncle En, you did the right thing." Now, in order to hide people's eyes, we disguised the convoy as an ordinary caravan, not only recruited guards from outside, but also carried some passengers, although we can deceive many people, but also caused a lot of people, in order to avoid unnecessary panic, it is the best choice to keep all the people secret. ”

After Shui Boen nodded, Fang asked with a worried face: "Then Miss, should we change to the waterway?" If we go directly to Xiangyang from Jiangling. Not only will you have to pass through the Great Desert, but you are also likely to be intercepted by the Wang family!"

"It's too late!" the stunning woman sighed. If we go by water, we will have to detour to Jiangxia City, and then hire a boat to go to Xiangyang, but I am afraid that we will not be able to go back in two months. But in a month, the Yiling Cave Mansion will be opened! We must rush before the Yiling Cave Mansion opens. Send the amethyst back to the family!"

Shui Bourne naturally understood the importance of this batch of amethyst sand to the Shui family, but he still cautiously reminded: "But if we walk according to the original plan, it will be easy to crash headlong into the enemy's ambush......"

The stunning woman pondered for a moment, then said, "Then change the route in the desert slightly." Instead of taking the official road, take the path instead, although it will take three more days, you will definitely be able to avoid the enemy's ambush!"

"Okay, that's all I can do now!" said Water Bourne, too. He naturally knew that if the Wang family really wanted to ambush them, how could they not send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the convoy. But now that time is pressing, only dead horses are used as live horse doctors, and one step at a time is counted.

…………

After crossing a few streets, Lin Fan followed the guidance of the map and came to the door of a house.

He raised his head and looked at the house, only to see a wooden plaque hanging on the door, with the two big characters "Weifu" written on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

There is also a lion statue carved in bluestone on each side of the entrance of the mansion. The outside of the courtyard wall that extends from the doorway is coated with a layer of white mortar. It's just that it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the lime in many places has fallen off, revealing the green bricks inside.

Lin Fan released his divine sense, but found that he could only reach the outside of the courtyard wall of the mansion, and could not explore the situation inside at all. It seems that there must be a forbidden formation to isolate the divine consciousness in this mansion.

In desperation, he grabbed the knocker at the door and knocked it violently.

A moment later, the door of the house opened. I saw an old man dressed in housekeeper clothes, about sixty years old, with two locks of long beard walking out.

Lin Fan looked at the old man and found that he couldn't feel the spiritual power fluctuations on his body. There are only two possibilities: one is that this old man is a mortal, so of course there can be no spiritual power. And another possibility is that this old man's cultivation is much higher than his own, and he can condense his spiritual power and aura to the extreme, so that he can't sense it at all.

Although he couldn't judge what kind of situation this old man belonged to, for the sake of insurance, he naturally regarded this old man as a master, so that he could snub him and cause death for himself.

"Little brother, who are you looking for?" the old man asked with a confused look.

"I'm looking for the Hundred Poison Demon Lord senior!" Lin Fan replied respectfully.

"Little brother must be an immortal master!" the old man said with a calm face after hearing this, "You may have found the wrong place." This is the Wei Mansion of Jiangling City, and the Wei family is not a family of cultivating immortals, but a big family of ordinary mortals, and there are no big people called Demon Lords, Tianzun, and Sages. ”
