Chapter 4 The capital is close at hand

Everyone rushed out of Black Pine Ridge in embarrassment. Smoke was still billowing behind him.

The people who survived the catastrophe did not dare to stay, and ran straight out of more than 30 miles before they stopped camping.

The dead were buried, the wounds were bandaged, and the thick smell of food wafted through.

The mood of the crowd is not very good, after all, there are dead people.

Meng Qiuyan once again thanked her for her hard work. He waved his hands hard and whispered, "Don't thank me, thank you for setting the fire." ”

Meng Qiuyan asked with a puzzled face, "Is the mountain fire spontaneous combustion?"

Nodding hard: "I noticed that there was a faint fluctuation of consciousness, and someone was secretly helping." ”

Meng Qiuyan nodded contemplatively. She couldn't guess who would secretly help.

"And ......" glanced at Meng Qiuyan hard and said, "That Golden Spirit Sect is not a mountain bandit, it should be an outsider. ”

Meng Qiuyan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's really hard to guess." My Meng family has been in business for many years, and there must be old enemies. It can't be said to be someone else's opponent. ”

"Maybe it's because I like your goods. Guessed hard.

Meng Qiuyan bit her lip and arched her hand: "Thank you seniors for reminding me." ”

She obviously didn't want to talk about it, and after saying that, she went straight back to the tent.

Seeing Meng Qiuyan leaving, Yun Yi slowly walked to the side of Xin Xin and sat down, and said excitedly, "Brother Xin, you are so powerful. ”

Hard patted him on the shoulder: "Little guy, you put the fire, right?"

Yun Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shook his head: "How can I be, I am an honest person and never do bad things." ”

"Hahaha!" Hard laughed very happily, and then whispered, "Little one, don't dare to do this in the future." That mountain forest is the treasure of the villagers. They boil water for cooking, but they rely on it. ”

"I see. Yun Yi couldn't hide it, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.

"How many levels?" asked Hardship suddenly.

"Huh?" Yun Yi was stunned: "What level?"

"Xiuwei. ”

Yun Yi shook his head: "I am an ordinary person, and the master has never taught me." I used to practice spiritual sense, and most of them were used to pretend to be gods and ghosts. ”

"That's right. "It's hard work and some surprises.

Yun Yi tilted his head to look at the hard work and asked, "Brother Xin, what about you, you seem to be better than Miss Meng, what level are you?"

I didn't answer, but I spread out my left palm.

Before Yun Yi could understand what was going on, he saw his hard-working fingers change color. The five fingers of the left hand are all bright, and the colors are white, orange, and yellow, which is very beautiful.

"See?" looked at Yun Yi hard: "A finger represents a level, and I am now a martial cultivator at the fifth level, that is, a martial artist." ”

"What about that mysterious person, better than you?" The man in black injured hard work with one move, and Yun Yi felt that the person was more terrifying.

He shook his head hard: "That person is a spiritual cultivator, at most the peak of the Spirit Sect, one level worse than me." It's just that his spiritual root is more special. ”

"Linggen?" Yun Yi didn't quite understand: "Why is he special?"

"His spiritual root is gold, and he specializes in all kinds of weapons. Hard explained.

Yun Yi thought for a while and nodded: "I understand, if he uses a wooden sword, he will definitely not be the opponent of the eldest brother." ”

"Little one. He patted Yun Yi's head hard and said, "It's best to prepare four weapons when you're out and about." Gold, wood, water and soil all have nemesis. ”

"Is there a fire sword?"

"I haven't heard of it!"

......

As soon as I closed my eyes and opened my eyes, the night passed. The caravan set off again.

Meng Qiuyan had already informed everyone that the city in front of her was Yunzhou City. At that time, the convoy will go into the city to buy some food.

After camping on the road for more than ten days, Yunyi was really a little uncomfortable, and just wanted to go into the city to take a good rest.

The convoy hurried and finally found an inn to settle down before nightfall.

Yun Yi took a hot bath and got into the quilt early. But Meng Qiuyan and the others are still busy. A merchant came to pick up the goods.

At night, on the roof of the inn, there was a person dressed in black, almost blending into the night, very patiently observing, and did not leave until late at night.

In the inn's freight yard, six dart masters are patrolling. The night is getting deeper.

In the middle of the night, Yun Yi woke up with urine.

I reluctantly climbed out of the bed, but found that it was dark in the house. Yun Yi didn't know when it was, so he subconsciously urged the 'Yin and Yang Eyes' and raised his head to look at the roof. The gaze passed through the tiles and into the night.

At this look, Yun Yi was stunned. There was a man in black squatting on the roof. Who is he? What are you doing there?

Yun Yi shook his head, didn't dare to think about it, and tiptoed towards the hard work. Yun Yi hadn't approached yet, but he sat up and stared at him with wariness.

Yun Yi stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Xin, there is a man in black on the roof?"

"Huh?" was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently, "Where is it?"

Yun Yi took his arm, walked to a corner of the room, and pointed to the roof.

"Stand far away!" he said hard, squatted down, and then with a force on his legs, the whole person flew up.

Yun Yi stood far away, only to see the hard brother hit the roof like a stray bullet. Then there was a loud bang, followed by the sound of broken tiles, the dull sound of broken drums being hit.

Immediately after that, there was the sound of the door opening, the sound of inquiry, and the sound of running.

Yun Yi hurriedly opened the door, Meng Qiuyan put on a piece of clothing, rushed in with a few dart masters, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's the matter?"

Yun Yi pointed to the roof: "There is a man in black above, and the hard brother has gone up." ”

As soon as Yun Yi finished speaking, he turned over from the eaves and stood in the corridor with a man in black on his shoulder.

"Senior?......" Meng Qiuyan didn't finish speaking, and reminded hard: "Hurry up and take a look at your goods." ”

"Ah!" Meng Qiuyan was obviously stunned, and then said to his subordinates: "Let's go!"

A group of people hurried downstairs and rushed to the warehouse.

Carrying the man in black hard, he walked into the room and threw the man on the ground very casually. Yun Yi hurriedly lit the oil lamp.

Meng Qiuyan trotted into the house, and said with a red face: "The six brothers who kept vigil are all dead, and half of the spirit stone is lost. ”

Yun Yi opened his mouth wide, speechless in shock.

Hard and calmly pointed at the man in black: "People, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Thank you, seniors. Meng Qiuyan understood the meaning of hard work, this was to let herself interrogate. And that's exactly why she came.

She stepped forward and grabbed the man in black and walked out quickly.

"Nice, little one. He smiled and praised. Yun Yi scratched his head embarrassedly.

Closing the door, Yunyi happily released the water. As soon as he lay down, Meng Qiuyan pushed open the door and walked in.

Yun Yi didn't get out of bed, turned over, and heard Meng Qiuyan say: "Senior, it's the local Yunshu Pavilion that has set an eye on our goods. The younger generation is one step ahead, and they don't stay. Little brother, the caravan can't escort you anymore, I'm sorry. ”

After Meng Qiuyan finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"The gates are closed, and you can't get out, so be careful. "A hard reminder.

Meng Qiuyan clenched her fists, withdrew, and closed the door.

Yun Yi lay on the bed, listening to the whistling wind from the hole in the roof, and couldn't sleep for a long time. It has only been ten days since he came out of the Taoist temple, and he has already deeply felt that this world is very terrifying and terrifying.

The caravan left early, and I don't know what the situation is, whether it can escape Yunshu Pavilion's calculations.

I don't plan to rely on caravans anymore, it's too slow and too dangerous to say it's too slow. He bought a horse and invited Yunyi to go with him. Yun Yi didn't refuse, and simply agreed.

Yun Yi was riding a horse for the first time, and he felt very uncomfortable, and his butt hurt. On top of that, the farther north you go, the colder it gets. The cold wind blew on his face, like a knife, and it was unbearable.

However, there is an advantage, the journey that was originally more than a month was completed in nine days. At this time, it was morning, and there were snowflakes in the sky.

Looking at the entrenched behemoth from afar, Yun Yi had a feeling of inferiority. People, too small.

Hard stopped at the capital south post station and said goodbye to Yunyi.

"Little one, practice hard, and you may be able to get ahead in the future. Hard work encouraged again.

Yun Yi bowed to him and thanked him: "Brother Xin, thank you for taking care of him all the way. When you're on the battlefield, you have to be careful. ”

"Rest assured, farewell. "Hard work pushes the horse forward.

"Brother Xin!" Yun Yi shouted loudly: "My master is also on the front line, his name is Qingxu." His medical skills are very good, you have to be careful. ”

The hard work did not look back, waved his hand, and the figure quickly moved away.

Looking at the distant back, Yun Yi sighed deeply. The good things and the bad things that happened are all caused by people's hearts.

I finally arrived in the capital, but it was still winter, and it was still early for the spring college to enroll. Looking at the outline of the city wall not far away, Yun Yi felt very strange and confused.

Yun Yi did not enter the city, but walked along the city wall and headed east. Yun Yi had already learned that those academies were not in the city, but thirty miles east of the city, at the foot of the Divine Domain Mountain.

The capital is relatively large, from the south gate of the capital to the east gate, Yunyi walked for three hours. At least fifty miles of land.

By the time he arrived at the foot of the Divine Domain Mountain, it was already completely dark. However, the street is very bright, and the sky and the earth are snow-white. The lanterns hanging here and there add a touch of warmth to the snow scene. What's more, the pedestrians are bustling, as if they are not affected by the weather at all.

Yun Yi noticed a situation where the pedestrians on the street were relatively young, presumably students from various colleges.

Yun Yi wandered around casually and walked into an alley without any purpose. He once heard the chief of the Xudao say that whether it is an inn or a tea shop along the street, they are all more expensive, and the more remote the place, the cheaper.

Turning around in the alley, Yunyi finally found a 'Fuyue Inn'.

The front door of the inn was a little deserted, and the two lanterns looked rather shabby, and the dim candlelight kept flickering, as if they were going to be extinguished at any time. In the cold wind, the leaves and snowflakes rolled and rushed into the unknown night.

Yun Yi stepped forward and slapped the door panel fiercely. It took a long time for a voice to come from inside: "Who?"

The voice is agitated.

"Stay. Yun Yi replied.

The door panel was removed, and a middle-aged man in thin clothes, holding his arms and poking his head out, glanced at Yun Yi, and complained: "Why don't you come over earlier, we are all sleeping." ”

"You're still not happy to send you money?" Yun Yi glanced at him and squeezed in directly.

The innkeeper returned to the counter, stomped his feet, and yawned: "Short-term rental, or long-term rental?" Short-term rent is 20 wen a day, and long-term rent is 500 wen a month. Rice, hot water, one or two a month. He clearly didn't wake up, as if he was reciting a mantra.

"Two months. Yun Yi took out two taels of silver.

"Your backyard please!" As soon as the boss saw the silver, he finally woke up, took the key and lock, and took the lead in leading the way.

Cloud Wing settled down.

When I woke up and walked out of the door, it was already a scene covered in snow. The cold wind was blowing, and the cloud wings were wrapped in cotton jackets.

The boss had already prepared breakfast, and Yun Yi hurriedly finished eating and went out.

He went to the 'Jade Workshop' first.

The bead that Qingxu gave him was too small, and Yun Yi was afraid of losing it, so he wanted to get a rope to hang around his neck. But after studying all the way, I didn't think of a way. I had to ask the professionals to help.

After the craftsman of the 'Jade Workshop' took the black bead, he looked at it for a while, looked at Yun Yi in amazement, and sighed: "This is a good thing, it has been very old." ”

Yun Yi didn't know the origin of this bead, so he nodded and made his request clear: "Please make a small hole in the bead, I can hang it around my neck." ”

The craftsman tinkered for a while, sweating profusely, and said in embarrassment: "Little brother, what kind of treasure are you?" It's definitely not a black pearl, it's too hard to make a hole. ”

"Then you want to think of a way?" Yun Yi didn't expect that this bead would be so difficult to serve. Thinking about it, the Qingxu Dao Elder once used the True Yuan to urge it, and if it can be intact, it can be seen.

The master jade mason finally came up with a doorway, framed the whole bead with silver paste, and made a hollowing process. The whole bead looks as beautiful as a jade pendant, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Yun Yi hung on his neck with satisfaction, and happily rushed to Shenyu Mountain, where there was a cultivation academy in the capital.
