Chapter 507: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters
readx;? It has been ten days since Lu Yifan and the others entered the Two Realms Forest, due to the rugged road and the continuous rain, so their speed of travel is extremely slow, according to Yulou's rough estimate, they have only traveled more than 300 miles in these ten days, and the average distance is only 30 miles per day, and if they continue at this speed, they will inevitably delay the time to hold the Five Domains Spirit Banquet. www.biquge.info One of the more important reasons for their difficulty in walking is that it is difficult to distinguish the direction in the forests of the two realms, so they often deviate from the direction while walking, and can only return or detour the same way, which delays a lot of time.
"Phew! What the hell is this place? What the hell is the weather?" Because the weather was really hot, Yin Xi took off his shirt to his waist early in the morning, revealing the broad and majestic muscles of his upper body, leading the lazy horse back and forth in the forest with one hand to find the direction, and the other hand waved the Wuji knife in front of him to shake away the dense grass and trees in front of him, and he scolded himself again and again, "If you don't see the sky when you look up, you can't see the soil when you look down, you have to go crazy if you continue to stay here!"
"Yin Xi, you don't have to complain!" Although Mu Dan was sitting in the carriage, she was still drenched in sweat caused by the humid and sultry weather, only to see her fanning her puffy cheeks with her hand, and wiping the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief in the other, "In the past, I traveled back and forth between the Spirit Domain and the Holy Domain through Luo Fang Spirit Weapon, and I have never been to this kind of place at all. Although he had heard that the environment in the forest of the Two Realms was harsh, he never expected that he would suffer so much. ”
"Having said that, Miss Mu Dan, since you can make a formation to teleport a hundred thousand troops, why don't you teleport us to the Spirit Realm along with the chariots and horses?
Hearing Yin Xi's words, without waiting for Mu Dan to answer, Qi Shan, who was sitting in the carriage behind, was the first to speak and smiled: "All the treasures sent to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet are not allowed to use the teleportation array, because there are many dangers hidden in the teleportation array, although there are few failures, but for the Five Domains Alliance, it is necessary to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and these treasures cannot be lost at all." No one can violate the rules set by the Five Domains Alliance!"
"Isn't this a sin that makes people suffer?" Yin Xi didn't dare to disagree with Qi Shan's words, and complained to himself, "The teleportation array is dangerous, is it safe to send it over step by step along the way?"
"The most dangerous thing along the way is only to encounter a strong person to intercept it, at least there is a possibility of taking it back. The teleportation array forcibly tore apart the void, and once the treasure was lost outside the void, even the people of the Five Domains Alliance would not be able to find it back. Yulou Feng replied lightly, although he had no cultivation, but at the moment in such a stuffy environment, he seemed the most calm, sitting cross-legged in the carriage calmly, his face was not red or panting, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, "The heart is calm and naturally cool, and you will naturally not feel stuffy if you have less resentment!"
"What Yulou said is good, the more chaotic your heart is, the more irritable you will feel, and everything will naturally be calm when your heart is calm. The carriage inland Yifan nodded in agreement, in fact, he didn't feel hot, after all, the ice soul had already avoided all the external heat for him.
"Childe, another group of people are coming!"
Jiang Yi, who was walking beside the carriage, was suddenly disturbed by the sound of a 'clanging' copper bell in the distance, and then he looked up and saw that about a hundred meters away from them, a caravan composed of seven or eight carriages was swaying in the direction of the Holy Domain, just in the direction of Lu Yifan and his gang. Looking at the tired and sleepy looks of the group, it is obvious that they are also tormented by this ghost weather. And what is quite strange is that on a carriage at the front of the caravan, there are two strange-looking wooden signs hanging at this moment, the wooden signs are the size of palms, and a string of copper bells are falling under the signs, which are constantly shaking and making bursts of noise during the carriage marching, and the copper bells that disturbed Jiang Yi just now came from this.
"The Forest of the Two Realms is a necessary place for the Holy and Spirit Domains, and it's not strange to run into a caravan!" Yulou lifted the curtain to look at the caravan that was getting closer and closer to him, and explained to Lu Yifan with a smile, and then he also said to Yin Xi, who was walking in the front, "Ask for the direction when we meet later, so that we don't go the wrong way again!"
"Oh!" Yin Xi seemed to be still immersed in the heat, so he agreed casually.
"Remember, be polite when talking to people!" Yulou shook his head helplessly, and instructed again, "Don't scare people away again!"
The reason why Yulou said this was because in the past ten days, they had already encountered at least seven or eight caravans, and almost every time because of Yin Xi's rough words, coupled with the vicious appearance of drawing swords at every turn, they frightened those honest merchants, and they had already run away without saying a few words.
"Why is it that almost all the caravans we have encountered along the way have such strange wooden signs hanging on the carriages?" Lu Yifan saw the wooden signs on the opposite convoy again, so he asked with a puzzled expression, "Is there any other rule here?"
"Stand there!"
Without waiting for Lu Yifan's words to fall, the two convoys in the north and south were already facing each other, and Yin Xi directly stretched out his hand to block the other party's way, but in just two words, it still carried a brutal atmosphere, which frightened the old butler in the opposite convoy and almost fell off the carriage.
"This ...... What is this lord doing?" the old butler stepped forward tremblingly under the support of his subordinates, and bowed his hands to the tall Yin Xi, "We have already taken two brands, and we have lost our money on this trip, and we also ask a few masters to raise their noble hands......"
"What's the mess?" Yin Xi didn't understand what the old man was saying at all, so he waved his hand impatiently, and then deliberately lowered his voice a little, trying to make his voice sound kinder, and said in a loud voice, "This old man, I'm just asking you for directions!"
"Huh?" The old man didn't react for a while, only to see him look at Yin Xi with a pair of faint old eyes full of doubts, and then looked sideways at the carriage behind Yin Xi, and the original hanging heart was put down, "You just asked for directions?"
"Is it possible that I want to invite you to dinner?" Yin Xi sneered and asked, "Like you, we are also caravans passing through here, but our son is not familiar with the terrain of the forests of the Two Realms, so I asked you about it!"
"Why are you so fierce?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man standing beside the old butler glanced at Yin Xi angrily, and complained, "Our old butler thought that he had run into a mountain bandit again!"
"Mountain bandits?" Yin Xi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked angrily, "Little rabbit cub stared at your mouse eyes, take a good look at where Lao Tzu looks like a mountain bandit?"
"What's not like a mountain bandit just for you to look like this?" I don't know when, Lu Yifan had already walked to Yin Xi's side, and as soon as he heard Lu Yifan's voice, Yin Xi immediately stepped aside sideways, although his face was unwilling, but he didn't dare to argue in his mouth. Lu Yifan arched his hand at the old housekeeper, and said with a smile, "It's me who can't discipline him, and when his subordinates collide with the old man, I'll accompany you for him!"
"This young man looked at his face very much, it must be the first time to go to the two realms of the forest, right?" the old housekeeper politely bowed to Lu Yifan and said, "Old man, I have been delivering goods to and from the two realms for the master's family for thirty years, and most of the caravans have acquaintances I know, but the caravan of the young man is the first time I have encountered it!"
"The old man has good eyesight!" Yulou also slowly greeted him and said with a smile, "My son-in-law is indeed the first time to go to the Two Realms Forest, where the jungle is dense and covers the sky and the sun, and we have already walked a lot of unjust roads in the past few days, so I am here to ask the old man, how to go to the spiritual realm to be more convenient?"
"Oh!" The old butler had completely eliminated the fear in his heart at this time, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yifan and the others, and then said in a wordy voice, "If it is the first time to come to the Two Realms Forest, has the prince ever brought some gold and silver with him?"
"Passing gold and silver?" Lu Yifan shook his head inexplicably, "What passing gold and silver?"
"Change the brand!" said the young man, who had the courage to interject, "You see that the two signs hanging on our car were exchanged for gold and silver." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yifan couldn't help but glance at Yulou suspiciously, as if asking him if he knew about it, only to see Yulou look at the two brands, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and only then did he come forward and whisper a few words in a quick whisper, and Lu Yifan's face gradually changed from confusion at the beginning to surprise, and finally turned into a touch of anger.
"Such an arrogant thief, he dared to blatantly block the road and rob ......"
"Shhh ”
"Old man, you are afraid of them, our son-in-law may not be afraid of them!" Yin Xi sneered and said, "Lao Tzu happened to be unhappy these days, and he happened to be moving his muscles and bones when he met a few people who were not long-eyed!"
"Okay, good, you are amazing! You are amazing!" The old housekeeper didn't seem to dare to talk to Lu Yifan and the others anymore, only to see him hurriedly walk back to the carriage with the support of the young man, and sat on the carriage panting and said quickly to Lu Yifan, "If the son insists on going to the spiritual realm, he only needs to remember the mantra with a few words: go to the valley without going to the mountain, drill in the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests will not see water at the end, so choose the width of the left and right." Childe take care all the way, the old man will leave first!"
"Thank you ......"
"Let's go!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to thank him, the old butler hurriedly greeted him and left in a hurry with the caravan.
"This ......" Lu Yifan looked at the caravan heading north in a hurry, and was speechless for a while, "It seems that they are really frightened by the thieves in the forests of these two realms!"
"Childe, let's continue on our way!" Yulou just smiled slightly and didn't comment much, and then he turned around with Lu Yifan and wanted to walk towards his carriage.
"Whoosh!"
"Smack!"
But just when Lu Yifan just turned around, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in mid-air, and then Jiang Yi next to Lu Yifan made a preemptive move, jumped up and kicked the black shadow in the air to the ground on the side, which was a wooden card.
"Leave fifty gold shells and ten thousand silver shells, and then you can roll with the brand!"
A vicious voice suddenly came from the woods, and then a sound of Suo Suo was heard, and in an instant, thirty or fifty fierce men appeared from all directions in the dense forest. After the big men surrounded Lu Yifan and the others, a middle-aged man with a bare tiger's back came out of the crowd, with two mountain axes diagonally inserted in his waist, and a thin dry branch that seemed to be used for tooth picking in his mouth.
The middle-aged man looked lazy, walked up to Lu Yifan and the others with a look of disdain, looked at the wooden sign that fell under his feet, and then kicked the wooden sign to Lu Yifan's feet with a casual kick.
"Don't hurry up and hang it up yet!" The middle-aged man seemed to be concentrating on picking his teeth with a branch, and when he spoke, his mouth was leaking, and he didn't even look at Lu Yifan, "Uncle has other things, hurry up and leave the tribute silver and get out!"
"Dog, who are you talking to?" Yin Xi pulled out the Wuji knife with a 'poof', and shouted angrily with a hideous face, "Acquaintance take your dog sign and roll, otherwise today next year will be your death day!"
"Yo he!" The middle-aged man didn't seem to expect someone to dare to talk to him like this, and immediately threw aside the branch in his mouth, frowning and swept towards Yin Xi, "You were the one who screamed just now, right?
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, dozens of people around him laughed together.
"Now uncle, I've changed the rules!" The middle-aged man suddenly put away the smile on his face, and replaced it with a touch of ruthlessness, "What can be solved by fifty golden shells and ten thousand silver shells, now it takes one hundred gold shells and twenty thousand silver shells, plus ...... The woman in your car, this is the end of the matter. Uncle doesn't talk so much nonsense with you, either leave what I want, or leave my life!"
"You...... You bastard!" Mu Dan heard that Dahan wanted to stay by himself, and he was immediately angry, and he shouted angrily.
"I may not have so many gold and silver shells, and I can't give you this woman. But I have a good treasure in my hand, and if I sell it, it will be worth at least 100,000 silver shells!" Lu Yifan turned around with interest and said with a smile to the middle-aged man, "I don't know if I can replace the gold and silver and women you want, and get this brand?"
"Good baby?" The middle-aged man suddenly became interested when he heard this, "What good baby can you have?"
"Night Pearl!" Lu Yifan nodded mysteriously and said, "This is what I spent a lot of money in the Holy Domain, and I can't help it when I meet you today, so why don't you just break the fortune and avoid disasters?"
"Take it out and take a look!" the middle-aged man ordered suspiciously, "If you dare to lie to me, you will die!"
Lu Yifan unhurriedly put his right hand into his waist, and then groped a few times, and then slowly stretched out his bulging fist, and said with regret: "I can't bear it, but my life is more important than it!"
"Open your hand and let the uncle see what the Night Pearl is!" The middle-aged man seemed to be tempted, his eyes were greedy and curious staring at Lu Yifan's clenched fist, and he urged impatiently, "Open it quickly!"
"Huh!" Lu Yifan shook his head suddenly, "Night Pearl Night Pearl, and as the name suggests, you have to be in the dark to perceive its subtlety, no matter how you look at it in broad daylight, it's just an ordinary white jade bead......!" Lu Yifan couldn't help but change his words at this point, pretending to be mysteriously luring, "It's better for this uncle to come over, I'll cover it with my palm to see the magic of this night pearl." If the uncle recognizes this thing, let's change it. If you don't recognize it, we'll talk about it!"
"This ......" The middle-aged man seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Big brother, beware of this kid's deception!" the subordinate next to him reminded with a cautious face.
"Then throw it to me, uncle, I'll see it myself!" The middle-aged man nodded to the people around him, and then shouted loudly to Lu Yifan.
In this regard, Lu Yifan shook his head unswervingly, and then pretended to be worried: "What if you find out that this is a good thing but deliberately don't admit it, and ask me for gold and silver, but refuse to return my Night Pearl?
"That'...... Okay!" The middle-aged man thought for a moment, first looked at his brothers around him, and then looked at Lu Yifan, who was a full circle shorter than himself, and a strong confidence suddenly rose in his heart, and he agreed loudly, "Uncle talks about rules, unlike you hairy boys who don't understand bullshit! If it's really Uncle Night Pearl, I will definitely admit it!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely make you look at it!" Lu Yifan deliberately retracted his fist back in front of him, and the middle-aged man also followed Lu Yifan's hand and stepped forward, urging in his mouth: "Open it and let me see the night pearl I said!"
"You have to take a good look!" Lu Yifan said, and slowly put his right hand in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and the middle-aged man finally relaxed his vigilance, and lowered his head intently to look at Lu Yifan's gradually opening palm.
Suddenly, Lu Yifan's five fingers spread out suddenly, but the palm of his hand was empty, but before the middle-aged man who was taken aback became angry, Lu Yifan grabbed his right hand forward, and the five fingers became claws and 'grabbed' the big man's throat. Then I saw Lu Yifan's face suddenly ruthless, and his fingers pinched hard without hesitation, accompanied by a subtle crisp sound of 'click', and then looked at the middle-aged man, who was already half-open and his whole head bowed and collapsed on Lu Yifan's arm, and he was dead in an instant. However, from the beginning to the end, he couldn't make the slightest sound from his mouth, so that the gang of thieves standing around were still curiously waiting for their leader to take out the Night Pearl, and they didn't notice anything unusual.
"Childe!"
Others didn't notice it, but Jiang Yi, who was standing on the side, saw him quickly step forward and call in a low voice, as if asking Lu Yifan about his next plans.
"Let them disperse!" Lu Yifan said slowly with a cold face.
With that, Lu Yifan pushed the body of the middle-aged man to the ground with a flick of his hand, and then ignored the exclamations and surprises of the thieves around him, turned around and walked towards his carriage with Yulou.
"If you insist on refusing to disperse, then send them to the underworld to meet their boss!"
......
