"There's really no danger?" Lu Yu didn't believe it in his heart, if there was really no danger, what did the merchant travel do in the mountain pass to hire a large number of monks, is there a lot of money?

"Is it the first time the guest officer has come to Elephant Trunk Mountain?" The innkeeper said.

Of course, Lu Yu will not admit that it is the first time he has come here, "I went back and forth a long time ago, I don't know if there have been changes in such a long time?" ”

"I see!"

I don't know if the innkeeper has seen through Lu Yu's lie and said: "Winter beasts rarely haunt, which is also the reason why many business travelers choose to enter Elephant Trunk Mountain at this time, presumably the guest officer has forgotten this stubble." ”

Lu Yu thought about it at this time, and still said a little stiffly: "What you said is good, but ......, hehe, is it because of this, is it safe to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain?" ”

The innkeeper is not angry, a monk like Lu Yu, even if he has never seen 10,000, he has seen 8,000, but these monks have a very big temper, and it is not he who is offended by an inn boy.

"Which of the three mountain roads on the left, middle and right is the safest?"

The innkeeper whispered, "On the left, I haven't heard of a single caravan attack during this time. After saying that, he turned around and went busy.

"Isn't the middle mountain road the safest?"

In the information that Lu Yu got, the middle mountain road was relatively safe, but the innkeeper said that the left side was safe, and Lu Yu wanted to ask clearly, but there were many people in the inn, and the guy was obviously a little busy.

Lu Yu poured himself a drink, while wondering whether what the innkeeper said was true, in the process, the innkeeper had been busy entertaining the guests at various tables, and never looked at Lu Yu again.

Lu Yu is not a suspicious person, but it is related to his own life, and he is careful in everything.

Leaving the inn, Lu Yu did not rush to find the inn to rest, but walked to the mountain pass, which is the starting point of the business trip into the mountain, and it is also the only way for the business trip out of the mountain.

Lu Yu led the little black horse and just walked out of the crowd, the little black horse 'sparsely' a long roar, and wanted to break free from the horse's reins, Lu Yu naturally didn't know why the little black horse had an abnormality, so he threw away the horse reins, followed behind the little black horse, and saw the little black horse into the crowd, stopped next to a young man, and the young man was still lying on his shoulder with a sleeping little beast.

The young man was also stunned when he saw the little black horse, and then he was overjoyed, stroked the little black horse's head, and turned his head to look at Lu Yu, "This is your horse?" ”

"It seems to know you?"

"When I was at the inn, I saw it!" The young man obviously didn't mind Lu Yu's question, "By the way, did you receive that note?" ”

"You left it behind!"

"Who else could it be! My name is Yan Thirteen, what about you? The young man was Yan Shisan, and he said with a big grin: "You won't have to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain!" ”

Lu Yu dispelled the doubts in his heart and said, "My name is Lu Yu, and I am going to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain." ”

"That's good! It just so happens that my caravan is also going to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain, so if you haven't joined any other caravan yet, why don't you join us! ”

Lu Yu didn't agree immediately, and it was impossible for him to agree to Yan Shisan's invitation just because of the little black horse.

"Can you tell me about your caravan?"

"I'll take you to the shopkeeper of the caravan, if there are any problems and conditions, you two have negotiated!" Yan Shisan obviously didn't have the idea of introducing Lu Yu, leading the little black horse, and didn't care whether Lu Yu was willing to follow or not.

Lu Yu saw the shopkeeper of this caravan in a clearing on the edge of the mountain pass.

Gula was inviting a few monks to join his caravan, when he saw Yan Shisan walking over with a little black horse, he looked up and saw Lu Yu following behind, and before he could speak, Yan Shisan said directly: "It's your business to recruit people, don't bother me!" ”

Gula who was touched by a gray nose was not angry, he had already figured out Yan Shisan's temper along the way, and his eyes fell on Lu Yu's body and said: "Hello, my name is Gula and I am the shopkeeper of this caravan, there is a shortage of some monks, if you are willing to join, in addition to eating and drinking on the road, I can pay a certain amount of remuneration according to your cultivation." ”

"I'm sorry, I won't join the caravan's escort, but I can go into the mountains with you, and I will help on the way, but I won't be bound by you!"

Although he could get some rewards for joining the caravan's escort team, he also lost his freedom, and Lu Yu didn't want to give his life to Gula.

"Another Yan Thirteen!"

Gula also thought that Yan Shisan and Lu Yu had said something, so he pretended to be magnanimous and said: "If you don't join, you won't join, but if you want to enter the mountain with the caravan, some rules still need to be explained in advance." ”

Lu Yu nodded, of course he knew the rules of the caravan, especially after entering the mountain, he couldn't run around, took the initiative to provoke the beasts in the mountain, etc., even if Gula didn't say it, Lu Yu couldn't find death by himself.

"Since you all know, I won't be verbose, I will gather here tomorrow morning, and I won't wait!"

When Lu Yu turned his head to look for Yan Shisan again, he found that he had already entered an inn, hurriedly followed, and found that he had walked directly into the stable, and then lay down on a pile of straw.

"Huh!"

Lu Yu blinked his eyes to confirm that he was not hallucinating, and then walked to Yan Shisan's side.

Yan Shisan heard Lu Yu's footsteps, opened one eye and said, "Leave me alone, I'll sleep here." ”

"Are you an ascetic?"

"So to speak!" Yan Shisan took out the dry food he carried with him, picked up the water bladder on his waist, drank it himself, and then ate a mouthful of dry food, at this time, the little beast on his shoulder also opened his eyes, saw the dry food in Yan Shisan's hand, and chirped, Yan Shisan stuffed the dry food into the claws of the little beast and said: "You have anything else, don't bother me if it's okay!" ”

It was the first time Lu Yu had seen such a strange teenager, and he learned from the jade slip that many monks would choose to travel around looking for opportunities to break through after there was a bottleneck in their cultivation.

Among them, there are some very special monks, they live in no fixed place, they wander for a long time in the wilderness between the mountains and mountains, they live a life with the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, when they are hungry, they eat some wild fruits at hand, and when they drink a little spring water from the mountain stream, in their hearts, cultivation is the whole of their lives, they are called ascetics, also known as seekers, they are a group of people with extremely strong willpower.

Few people want to come into contact with them, because they don't stop in one place, they are always in a hurry, and they never know where they will appear tomorrow.

Lu Yu naturally didn't want to be bored, and wanted to thank Yan Shisan, but after seeing him, he dispelled the meaningless idea.

The night passed quickly, and when Lu Yu came to the stable again the next day, he found that Yan Shisan was already waiting for Lu Yu with the little black horse.

However, when he saw that the little black horse's fur was washed and cleaned, Lu Yu felt that he wanted to give the little black horse to Yan Thirteen, Yan Thirteen was the owner of the little black horse, and Lu Yu was not even qualified to lift Yan Thirteen's shoes.
