Chapter 164: The world is in turmoil
In a quarter of an hour, Lu Yi and the others rushed to Lu Fenglai's location, only to see that at this time, several groups of people had gathered on the official road, looking at the businessmen, farmers, and some hunters. Scattered cultivation, fifty zhang in front of everyone, is a small town, the scale is three or four hundred households, the whole town is built according to the official road, both sides are low hills and dense forests, the straight official road is also the main road of the town, this town is not much different from other towns, just with some centuries-old trees to enclose the whole town, the town has a gate in the position of the official road, which is also made of trees, and there are several simple third-order defense formations on it. Now the gate is closed, and there are several monks standing on the lookout behind the wall.
It was quickly clarified in the conversation of these passers-by that the name of this town was Mijiazhuang, and the whole town was a miniature family of monks, and the people in the whole town were surnamed Mi. Within a few hundred miles in the vicinity, this Mijiazhuang is a relatively good monk family, although there are no too high-level monks, but the third order, There are still quite a few fourth-order monks, relying on their existence, this Mijiazhuang has never been too friendly to the passing travelers, and often oppresses passers-by, but because it is located in the jurisdiction of the Lion Camel City, it has been sued to the Lion Camel City many times, and has been ordered to rectify by the Lion Camel official many times, and under official pressure, Mijiazhuang was once safe, and now the Lion Camel is in chaos, the people of this Mijiazhuang jumped out again, resting on their laurels, the town gate is closed, and a notice is posted in front of the door, anyone who passes by here must pay a lower grade spirit stone, otherwise they can only detour to the hills on both sidesJungle. There are many demon beasts in that dense forest, although the level is not high, but it is not something that ordinary people can deal with, and I heard that there are bandits robbing the road there. So now people are gathered here and a couple of representatives have been sent to negotiate.
After a while, Ouyang Ye and their car also arrived, and everyone scattered in the crowd, discussing with each other what to do.
At this time, the town gate in front of him opened, and a few people stumbled out from inside, and crawled in front of everyone, it was a few representatives who went to negotiate, and the clothes on several people were torn, and their faces were still injured. Some of the timid or unhurried people in the crowd turned around and began to walk back when they saw this, and a few low-level cultivators got together and discussed for a while, and then entered the woodland next to them, intending to bypass. The scattered crowd began to run their own way, and soon, there were only thirty or fifty people left in the hundred and ten people gathered in front of the town, and then several waves of people came one after another, and after learning about the situation, they also made different choices. Lu Yi didn't want to be exposed now, so he discussed with everyone, planning to bypass it too, in order to hide people's eyes, Lu Yi deliberately found a few casual cultivators and a small caravan, and everyone discussed and turned over from the side hill together. Due to the large number of people, this team was very eye-catching, and there were constantly joiners, and soon the number reached more than 30 people. As soon as so many people moved, the number of people who remained in place was immediately reduced by half, and the group ran along a sheep's intestine path to the hill on the side.
The hill is not high, it is about five hundred zhang, stretching for dozens of miles, and the mountain is relatively gentle, but there are more weeds and trees, but there is nothing to do, mostly decades of trees and common weeds and shrubs, in order not to expose the strength, everyone and a group of civilian businessmen act together, the speed will naturally slow down, this around, it is impossible to pass before dark, you must spend the night on the mountain. There are no high-level demon beasts in the mountains and forests, most of them are the lowest-level demon beasts of cloud rabbits and moon wolves, and everyone with their momentum, they were scared away from afar, but they met a large, three, small and four sharp-toothed pigs in the middle of the hillside, like a family that came out to bask in the sun, rushed over like crazy after seeing the crowd, and finally obediently added a rich dinner for everyone. When the crowd climbed over the hill and came to the hillside behind the hill, it was already night, and everyone found a clean place to light a campfire and sit around and eat something, and everyone put down their bunks and camped here tonight. At this time, there was an escort caravan who took out a piece of formation talisman, and arranged the simplest first-order early warning formation on the periphery, this formation has no other effect, only when an intruder enters the twenty zhang range shrouded by the formation, it will make a sharp sound, without any offensive and defensive effect, it is a kind of item that people who travel abroad all year round, and it can be bought in ordinary shops, and the price is not expensive, and a low-grade spirit stone can buy more than a dozen of these formations.
Lu Yi and the others also pretended to rest, but in fact, they all secretly cheered up, because when everyone just entered the mountain, Lu Yi found that someone was following behind, and the other party was so clever that he knew how to collect qi, but he couldn't escape Lu Yi's spiritual power. After he left, Lu Yi secretly notified Lu Feng to come to them, and he pretended to be relieved and slipped to the outskirts of the camp alone.
An hour later, Lu Yi quietly returned to the camp and informed everyone that the enemy was coming, and there were quite a few of them, as many as fifty-two people, ten third-order monks and two fourth-order monks. After a brief arrangement of tactics, Lu Yi pretended to fall asleep with everyone. Half an hour later, Lu Yi moved and said, "It's coming!"
A shrill sound woke everyone up from their sleep, and everyone opened their eyes in horror and looked around in confusion, trying to find out what had triggered the warning array. The few scattered cultivators even took out magic weapons and looked nervously at the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Hmph! I didn't expect you guys to be quite smart and know how to set up an early warning array, but unfortunately, no matter how smart you are, you can't get out of here today. A deep male voice spoke. There was a crowd of people around, and more than fifty monks surrounded the camp.
