Chapter Seventy-Four: All the Way North
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at Tai'an inside and outside, but the rest of the recklessness, the river up and down suddenly lost surging, and wanted to compare with the heavenly public test.
Li Yunyi couldn't help but chant a poem, this is his king's landing... When you set foot on the land of Selangor, you must pack an X.
Since there are countless demon clans living in it from Yunzhou to Selangor, and there are countless demon clans living in it, and many demon clans are not too friendly to human monks, the best option is to take a ride.
Li Yunyi found a trading house in Heavenly Sword City that was going to Selangor to transport goods, and after paying a certain amount of spirit stones, he joined in.
The business house is headquartered in Lixue City, the name is easy to remember, called Yitong Commercial Bank, the main way is to go from Tianjian City to Lixue City, although the scale is not large, but don't underestimate the merchants of the immortal world, they are often inextricably linked with some of the high and powerful sects, and the eight-sided exquisite door road is extremely wide, and it is proved that they can safely pass through the Tai'an Mountains with a complicated situation.
The steward of the commercial convoy is surnamed Xue, who is not in the early stage of foundation building, and is middle-aged and very kind.
The convoy consisted of more than 30 large ox carts, and it was Li Yunyi's favorite kind of cyan bull that was gentle and adaptable, and could completely resist the cruel natural environment of Selangor, and was widely welcomed by commercial houses.
Li Yunyi didn't know what the goods were being transported by the firm, he just got in touch with the firm through Tingxue Tower, so why bother to dig into it when Pingshui met, as long as he could reach Lixue City safely.
There are more than 20 people in the stewards, servants and guards of the commercial bank, and the guards are basically cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, the leader of the guards, a bearded strong man, according to Li Yunyi's perception, the cultivation is slightly higher than him, but it is far less powerful than that of Senior Sister Beigong Nianqin.
There were also three groups of people who took the car, a young man dressed as a swordsman who was also walking alone, Li Yunyi quietly investigated, this person was actually a pure martial artist, and there were three loose cultivators who obviously went to Selangor to practice, two men and one woman, and the last group of people was their own carriage, a coachman and a guard were outside, the carriage had a magic circle to isolate the investigation, Li Yunyi didn't know who was in the car.
Before the convoy set off, Steward Xue summoned everyone and instructed: "What we Yitong Commercial Bank seeks is a harmonious and wealthy, I hope you will follow the arrangement of the convoy on the way to Lixue City, don't make trouble out of nothing, please discuss with us in case of accidents, although we have been walking this road for many years, it does not mean that there is no danger, please don't worry too much." ”
After speaking, seeing that everyone had no objections, Steward Xue nodded and signaled to set off.
The trading house set off from the north gate of Heavenly Sword City, all the way north, and entered the vast Tai'an Mountains, like water droplets flowing into the sea and disappearing.
。。。
According to Steward Xue, it would take seven days to cross the Tai'an Mountains, and in the first two days, because they were still within the actual control of the Sword Sect, they could see the Sword Sect people who had been trained here from time to time, and when they met both sides, they were harmonious, and they nodded goodbye.
After going deep into the mountain range, it is a little different, you can clearly perceive the dense demonic aura emanating from the surrounding dense forests, and occasionally there are irritable low-level demon beast attacks that are not long-eyed, which are easily solved by the caravan guards, and by the way, you can also collect some demon beast fur and the like to earn some extra money.
The farther north they went, the taller and denser the trees became, and the cultivation of the demon beasts encountered by the convoy became higher and higher.
Of course, high cultivation means high intelligence, and after feeling the strong popularity of the team, few monsters jumped out to make trouble.
Li Yunyi sat on an ox cart in the middle of the convoy, meditating quietly cross-legged, his mind did not relax in the slightest, and he was always vigilant of the outside world.
It was already the evening of the third day that the convoy entered the mountains, and the surrounding mountains were still steep, and the convoy came to a small stream, and under the order of Steward Xue, the guards stopped the ox cart and began to camp on the spot, and the servants were making a fire and cooking.
Since he was out and everything was simple, Li Yunyi directly took out a Bigu Dan and swallowed it.
Steward Xue and several other leaders of the caravan gathered around a fire, took out a map to discuss something, only to hear their voices a little loud, which alarmed Li Yunyi, who was meditating and cultivating.
Li Yunyi couldn't help but be a little curious, thought for a moment, stepped off the ox cart, and leaned over.
Seeing that it was Li Yunyi coming, Steward Xue couldn't help but smile apologetically, and said, "Presumably it was us who disturbed Gongzi Li, and I hope that Gongzi Haihan is the place to disturb." ”
Li Yunyi did not hide his identity as a disciple of the Sword Sect when he found Yitong Trading House, so Steward Xue and his party respected Li Yunyi, an inner disciple of the Sword Sect, very much.
The benefits of being born in a famous family can only be known by a disciple of a famous family.
Li Yunyi was puzzled: "Dare to ask Steward Xue, but what is the abnormal situation?" ”
Steward Xue had no intention of concealing it, and said with a wry smile: "There were originally a few good demon tribes on this business road, so I was able to come over safely over the years, but I recently received some news that a certain demon tribe that was originally the next foothold had a mess, and it was not very peaceful, and Xue was discussing countermeasures with his colleagues." ”
"I don't know what the details of this demon tribe are?" Li Yunyi asked.
"Hui Gongzi's words, it is a small deer demon tribe in the Tai'an Mountains, the deer demon has always been gentle and easy to deal with, and our business house can also do some business in a small way through their tribe."
Li Yunyi nodded, knowing that he was inexperienced, it was better to rely on these experienced caravan people.
He bowed, said goodbye to the people, and returned to his ox cart.
It was getting late, and the people in charge of Xue must have made up their minds, and they each returned to the tent to rest, the warrior who looked like a swordsman was still alone, holding the knife with a cold expression, but it was the three loose cultivators, it was clearly two brothers and sisters plus a friend to partner with, the older brother had just entered the foundation, and his sister and the other were all qi refining and cultivating.
This girl has a delicate face and a lively temperament, obviously unworldly, and she is very lively.
They occasionally glanced at Li Yunyi with awe and curiosity.
Li Yunyi actually thinks that he is a slow person, and he is extremely cold in the face of strangers, but once he is familiar with it, there is no such thing as discipline.
So he still pretended to be a cold outsider, shocking all living beings.
The caravan sprinkled some kind of fierce beast urine around the camp, intimidating the surrounding monsters to a certain extent, so the night was relatively safe, and in the early morning of the next day, the caravan set off again, listening to the words and conversations of the guards, and still headed towards the established route.
However, as time passed, it became clear that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
