Chapter 332: Sunrise Inn
The Sunrise Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are entrenched in the eastern part of the Han Kingdom.
Here, the mountains are undulating, the dense primeval forest is endless, the mountains are high and dense, and there are no people and monsters within a radius of thousands of miles. Even the most powerful hunters dare not break into this mountain alone, and if they enter, they basically can't get out, either die under the claws of demon beasts, or get lost in the mountains.
In the deep mountains and old forests where monsters are rampant, ordinary people are struggling, but it is nothing to the disciples of the Immortal Sect. If you are thirsty, drink some dew to quench your thirst, and if you are hungry, you will hunt monsters on the spot to satisfy your hunger, and sleep in the open all the way. Two days later, we were on the edge of the mountains.
At noon, the sun is the hottest, making people dry and their lips cracked.
Lin Tian climbed high and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw curling smoke rising from the sky, and it was initially estimated that there should be people dozens of miles away. On the map, there are still no market towns nearby, but some small places are not marked on the map because they are too few or too remote.
"Hu Changtian, how is it, can you continue to persevere?" Lin Tian quickly walked to Hu Changtian's side and asked.
Among the group, Hu Changtian's status is the lowest, and his cultivation is also the lowest, and he has not even broken through the innate realm. Trekking through mountains and rivers all the way, Li Tingjun, Lu Zichuan and others were tired, and Hu Changtian was even more tired, dragging his heavy legs to the back of the team. But what is impressive is that even if the soles of his feet are blistered and his legs are numb, Hu Changtian still hasn't fallen behind, and has been gritting his teeth and following behind.
"Yes, Lin Gongzi, I can continue to persevere!" Hu Changtian replied, his honest face resolute.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that this experience of going down the mountain is an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought. If you can't hold on to it if you are afraid of hardship and tiredness, you will miss the opportunity, and you will be ashamed of Lin Tian's vigorous cultivation of herself. By following Lin Tian's side, he had such an opportunity, otherwise, a servant who was not even as good as a disciple of the outer sect, where could he find such an opportunity? Not to mention anything else, Li Qi, who was also a servant in this operation, didn't know how envious and jealous he was.
"Okay, hold on for a while, and you can rest after walking a few dozen miles!"
Lin Tian patted Hu Changtian on the shoulder, flew to the front, and continued to lead everyone to hurry, going straight to the place where the smoke rose.
Along the way, although he was at the forefront, he had been secretly paying attention to the situation of everyone, and he saw every move of Hu Changtian, a servant, and appreciated it more and more. Compared with another servant Li Qi, Hu Changtian is not so clever and inflexible, but he also has his brilliance and excellence, simplicity and loyalty are on the one hand, what makes Lin Tian value more is his patience and will, practical and persevering. Such a person may make slow progress, but as long as there is enough support, he can keep improving. On the contrary, if you are too flexible to do things, you are easy to float, and you can't calm down and meditate all the time, and this is a necessary condition for becoming a master of Xianmen!
In the deep mountains and old forests, the group gritted their teeth and continued to run, except for Lin Tian and Yan Shuangdao, even Ouyang Luolei had a touch of tiredness on his face. After two days and two nights of running, the iron-beaten body couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Tian secretly glanced at Yan Shuangdao as he hurried, the reason why he seemed to be indifferent was because he had cultivated the Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death Gong, and the true qi in his body was endless, and he could continuously replenish and consume it. Yan Shuangdao is hard to use with profound skills, and there is no tiredness on his face, and he doesn't even sweat under the scorching sun, and he looks at ease.
Terrible!
Profound skills, sure enough, is the foundation of a fairy master!
In the ranking of the Hundred People Hall, he and Yan Shuangdao are only one place behind, ranking seventy-eighth and seventy-seventh respectively, but the gap in skill is obviously huge! When will he be able to defeat Yan Shuangdao and surpass him in skill?
Lin Tian muttered in his heart, shocked by Yan Shuangdao's profound skills, and at the same time, it also aroused a surging fighting spirit.
Cultivation is like mountaineering, one mountain is higher than the other, and you need to constantly surpass yourself and climb higher and higher mountains;
Since joining the Qiankun Sword Sect for a period of time, Lin Tian's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, but this cultivation is still nothing in the sect full of masters, and there is still a long way to go on the road of cultivation. Now, Yan Shuangdao is a big mountain in front of him, when to cross this mountain and defeat Yan Shuangdao, it can be regarded as stepping on a new level!
Perhaps sensing Lin Tian's gaze, Yan Shuangdao suddenly looked over, and saw that Lin Tian continued to rush in front without slowing down, and his eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, surprised by Lin Tian's amazing endurance, and then continued to hurry.
The weather was hot, and the group of seven people continued to rush under the scorching sun. The place where the smoke rises is not far away, but when you walk up and over the mountains, there are cliffs and monsters blocking the way from time to time, and after half an hour of fast walking, you can reach the destination. It was not a village, let alone a township, but a lonely mud house standing beside a mountain road, with a flag planted under the eaves with the words 'Sunrise Inn' written on it.
This mud house is shabby, it looks like it has gone through a long period of vicissitudes, the exterior walls have been dilapidated, the left wing has even collapsed, and the flags under the eaves are so mottled that they can no longer distinguish the original color. It seems that this is a temporary resting place for people to go into the mountains to collect medicine or hunt, and it has been quite a few years.
Lin Tian stopped, looked at the dilapidated inn from a distance, and after a long while, he led everyone up.
"A few guest officers, please come in, eat or stay?"
A hunchbacked old man greeted him, hunched over and dizzy, walking with a limp, his face full of wrinkles, and he looked like he was seventy or eighty.
"Just eat, serve an ordinary meal, and leave after eating!"
Lin Tian replied and looked around at the inn.
This inn has a main room and a wing room, the main room is used as a lobby for entertaining guests to eat, with five mottled wooden tables, the part of the wing room on the left that has not collapsed is supported by wooden boards to make a stove room, and the wing room on the right is a row of black clay kang for people to rest. The hall is dimly lit, it looks like it is dark everywhere, and there are not many guests, only seven or eight villagers, most of whom are divided into two tables to eat, one table has a basket at the foot, which has tools such as sickles and small hoes, which seems to be medicine farmers who go into the mountains to collect medicine; the other table is carrying crossbow arrows and machetes and other weapons, and leggings are tied to their feet, it seems that they should be hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, and there is almost no power fluctuation in their bodies, even martial arts masters are not counted. A shopkeeper with a towel around his neck is carrying a pot of tea and is busy serving tea to two tables of guests.
Lin Tian didn't walk in immediately, but first took a closer look.
The last time he went down the mountain to sweep the bat cave, he still remembers it very well, the rivers and lakes are sinister, even if the cultivation is superb, if he is not careful, he will also be caught in the gutter and capsize. Last time, there was also an experienced Shangguan Tu leading the team, and there were many things that he didn't have to worry about, but now it is different, as the captain of this operation, he has to think about more things, and he must be more careful and cautious.
"Okay, guest officer, please inside!"
The hunchbacked old man shouted hello, turned around and limped to the stove to get busy.
Lin Tian led everyone into the house and sat down around a table by the window. The group secretly looked at the surrounding environment, focusing on the two tables of villagers who were eating, the latter also secretly watched, and then turned their heads to bury their heads in eating.
For secular people, Lin Tian and his entourage are dressed in peculiar attire, everyone wears battle armor, a wide flowing cloud hat on the top of their heads to cover their facial features, and they all have long knives on their shoulders and strong bodies, and they are from an extraordinary background at a glance. For ordinary villagers, I am afraid that I can't help but stare clearly, but the two tables of people who are eating tacitly do not dare to look more, whether it is going into the mountains to collect medicine or hunting in the mountains, they have more experience than ordinary villagers, relatively speaking, they have more knowledge, and they understand that Lin Tian and his party are not something they can provoke.
The sound of stir-frying came from the stove room, the hunchbacked old man was busy inside, and the shopkeeper with a towel on his shoulder came over, carrying a large teapot made of brass to pour tea for Lin Tian and his party. The hot tea makes people thirstier when they look at it.
"Xiao Er, how far is it from here to Donghai County?" Lin Tian asked, picking up the teacup and blowing the tea leaves floating on it.
The shopkeeper who had already turned around quickly turned around, stretched out his fingers and babbled something, he was not very old, but his body was black and greasy, I don't know how many years he had been doing it here.
A dumb one?
Lin Tian shook his head secretly, said no more, lowered his head and was about to drink tea, when he suddenly found that the eyes of the dumb shop Xiao Er looking at him flickered a little.
Not good!
The tea is poisonous, it's a black shop!
Lin Tian's heart was stunned, and he pressed the teacup on the table with a bang, and the sudden sound startled Li Tingjun, Hu Changtian and others who were about to drink tea to quench their thirst. The next moment, there was no need for Lin Tian to say anything, they all put down their teacups and didn't dare to drink water, stood up and pulled out the long knife behind their backs.
In the small inn, suddenly the murderous atmosphere was fierce, and the atmosphere became tense and dignified.
The shopkeeper trembled, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the big teapot in his hand fell to the ground, and the hot tea splashed on the ground. The medicine farmers and hunters who were eating at the adjacent table were all terrified, and several hunters who had been hunting in the mountains all their lives were pale, frightened by the power fluctuations and murderous aura that suddenly erupted in the bodies of Lin Tian and his party of seven.
In the Qiankun Sword Sect, the innate realm is nothing, it abounds, but among the people, it is definitely a first-class top master, not to mention Ouyang Luolei and other masters of the Hundred People Hall!
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
The hunchbacked old man ran out in a panic, holding a pot of fried peanuts in his left hand and a spatula in his right hand.
The shopkeeper babbled, pointing fingers, as if explaining something to the hunchbacked old man. It's a pity that he babbled and screamed for a while, and no one knew what he was talking about.
"Shopkeeper, we won't eat this meal, this ingot and silver taels, it will be regarded as tea expenses, and we will not be accompanied! Brothers, let's go!"
Lin Tian made a decision immediately, did not entangle with the hunchbacked old man, put down a silver ingot, and decisively led everyone to leave.
It doesn't look unusual now, and he doesn't feel any danger, but the flickering eyes of the shopkeeper just now gave him an uneasy intuition engraved in Lin Tian's eyes!
