Lu Yu found that he had been in the main world for nine days, and the system did not send out a prompt, which showed that the system time was calculated according to the Tianlan world and the New Year of the main world.

However, this point does not mean much to Lu Yu.

After dealing with the affairs in the main world, Lu Yu returned to the Tianlan world again, and when he returned to the inn where the little black horse was fostered, the shopkeeper handed a piece of paper to Lu Yu and said, "This is a guest who left it for you." ”

"For me?"

Lu Yu led the little black horse and was about to leave, when he found that someone had left a note for him, he immediately opened it and looked at it, and said strangely on his face: "What about that person?" ”

"Left a few days ago!"

There was no content on the note, not even a signature, just some small knowledge of how to raise horses, which made Lu Yu feel a little weird.

Looking at the little black horse beside him, Lu Yu didn't ask again, and rode the little black horse and left the inn.

I traveled all the way on the post road, and by the evening I had walked about seven or eight hundred miles, which was much faster than when I started to leave Beijing, which was mainly due to the improvement of my riding skills during this time.

This is already the limit of Lu Yu's current speed, calculating the next journey, this speed is not fast, if the time to return to the main world is also counted, Lu Yu has to increase the speed of travel, in order to reach Nanling County of Tiannan Province within the specified time.

Before dark, Lu Yu stayed in an inn, and as he got farther and farther away from the capital, the road was no longer very safe, so he had to pay extra attention even during the day.

In the next two days, Lu Yu's walking speed was not fast, and from time to time he could see passengers on the road with injuries, as well as some vehicles abandoned on the side of the road and various corpses.

"Roar!"

A bobcat stood on a hill not far away and roared, the roar echoing through the valley for a long time, and the echo of wild beasts in the distance was heard, which made the caravans on the post road hurry up their way.

The beasts that appear around the post road are not strong, but they will slow down the progress of the caravan, as long as they do not reach the next county before dark, and stay on the post road at night, the results of the next day will not be too good. Because of this, as long as the beasts around the post road do not attack the caravans, most of the caravans will not take the initiative to provoke the beasts around them.

The same is true for Lu Yu, even if he finds a beast on the post road, as long as the beast does not take the initiative to attack, Lu Yu will walk around the beast.

If the beast launched an attack on Lu Yu, as long as he judged that he could escape, Lu Yu would also choose to flee in the wilderness, and never provoke those beasts.

In this way, there will often be a very funny scene, Lu Yu riding a horse on the post road, there is a beast not far behind him in hot pursuit, and then after Lu Yu catches up with the caravan in front, the beast behind him will turn his head to attack those caravans.

The merchant traveler is unlucky, their speed is basically only half of Lu Yu's, often in this case, they can only send one or a few monks to kill the beast behind them, and then yell at Lu Yu who is far away: shameless!

Lu Yu couldn't hear the curses of the merchant behind him anyway, and he didn't lose a piece of meat after scolding a few words, and galloped south all the way.

Seven days later, Lu Yu, who had no danger all the way, came to Ezhou.

The reason why Lu Yu left the capital for more than a month was thrilling, which naturally had Lu Yu's luck component, but the most important thing was because of the path Lu Yu chose.

There are many roads leading to Tiannan Road in the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all post roads lead to Tiannan Road, but not every road is safe.

Usually where there are more pedestrians, there are fewer dangers.

But sometimes this does not mean absolute, when Lu Yu saw the endless mountains in front of him seven days later, he knew that his danger was coming.

Standing in front of Ezhou is an Elephant Trunk Mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, and it is also the only road from Ezhou to Tiannan Road, and it is the closest road.

If you don't want to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain, you can cross a no-man's land to the east, and then turn south and bypass the entire Elephant Trunk Mountain, which will take about half a month, and Lu Yu certainly has no time to waste on the road.

This is not Lu Yu's problem alone, all business travelers who want to go south have to face a choice, whether to cross the mountains and cross the mountains directly.

In the Tianlan world, as long as you see the mountains, it means that there is danger.

It is very dangerous to cross Elephant Trunk Mountain, but this danger is not absolute, the government has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build three safe mountain roads in Elephant Trunk Mountain, as long as you don't run around in the mountains, the danger will naturally be greatly reduced.

It takes less than three days to travel through Elephant Trunk Mountain, which is a shortcut compared to at least fifteen days of detouring.

After all, in the Tianlan world, the people who dare to come out and walk outside are either monks, or business travelers with the protection of monks, and most of the monks are bold, and they are all swordsman-licking blood, so they naturally don't care about any danger.

Before entering Elephant Trunk Mountain, caravans usually wait at the market in the mountain pass for a while, during which time they will recruit more monks, or several caravans will negotiate to enter Elephant Trunk Mountain together to face the dangers they may encounter.

The Great Sage Dynasty has a strict rule that as long as it is in the place where the government is located, the monks are not allowed to engage in private fights.

If you want to settle grievances in a private fight, it's very simple, outside the official mansion, you can kill anyone you want, provided that you don't want to be killed by others.

Usually monks don't kill indiscriminately in the wild, not because they don't want to, but they don't dare!

Because in the wilderness, the murderer also has to take great risks, especially when the other party is desperate, he will do anything crazy and drag everyone into the water, this kind of thing has not happened.

As long as it is not a life-and-death feud, usually when the cultivation is about the same, there will be no fierce battles between monks.

Lu Yu led the horse into the bazaar of the mountain pass, the streets were full of merchants and monks coming and going, some of them were dressed in clothes that did not look like the Great Sage Dynasty, they didn't look like the people of the Great Sage Dynasty, and even some accents could hear that they came from far away.

Lu Yu walked into an inn to eat, the inn here can not only eat and sleep, but also a gathering place for all kinds of news.

The innkeeper saw Lu Yu walking in, bowed his head, and asked Lu Yu what to eat?

Lu Yu found an empty seat, ordered a few very common dishes of wine, put a tael of silver on the table and said, "Little Er, how many questions do I ask you?" ”

"Guest officer, please speak!" The innkeeper looked at the silver face and said with a smile on his face.

"Has Elephant Trunk Hill been safe lately? Anything is going on? Lu Yu asked.

"Recently, the mountain road has been clear, and it is a good time to enter the mountain", the innkeeper put away the silver on the table and said: "I haven't heard that there are powerful beasts infested, and it is winter, and powerful beasts are not frequent in winter, plus there are business trips passing through from time to time, even if there is, it will be almost wiped out." ”
