Chapter 35: Bandits are rampant

Mu Changfeng walked in front of Burning Linghao as he said and stood still. He was in a good mood and was praised by the master, and his heart was delicious at this time, a little sweeter than eating honey.

Burning Linghao stretched out his hand and touched Mu Changfeng's forehead, and after feeling it, he laughed.

"Haha, okay, within ten years, no one in the Star Boundary will underestimate the Lingyuan Sect. Since you have already made another breakthrough, and being a teacher will not interrupt your cultivation, I originally wanted you to go back to the Hongtian Dynasty this time, but now it seems that you still need to find someone to go for you, and the province has been found by the Heavenly Desolate Sect to find an excuse to embarrass our sect. ”

"Master, could it be that something happened to the Hongtian Dynasty?" Mu Changfeng first instincted that something was wrong at home, otherwise the master would not let him come out.

"Don't worry, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind, that little dynasty is fine, but I heard that a game tournament is going to be held, let you go to participate, now, the teacher is not willing to let you go in person, just find someone to go for you." ”

Now Mu Changfeng is a treasure in the eyes of Burning Linghao, he has no ability to protect himself, where dare he let him run around, even though the Hongtian Dynasty is only a small country that does not enter the stream, he does not dare to gamble.

"Apprentices obey the master in everything!" There was no accident at home, and Mu Changfeng was relieved.

"That's good, you can ask one of your senior brothers to go to Hongtian for you and participate in the game on your behalf. By the way, the game should be in five days, so you can go first if you have nothing to do, remember to practice hard, and don't live up to the expectations of being a teacher!"

"Retire in vain!"

Watching Mu Changfeng walk out of the main hall, the Burning Spirit Hao flashed, and muttered to himself: "The body of the Seven Apertures, hehe, wait until the next grand event, and it will definitely surprise those old guys." ”

The evening breeze is blowing, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the hills, rendering a charming scene. At the foot of the hill there is a small town called Caton Town.

The town of Caton is not famous, almost few people know about it, and the town is very small, with only a hundred households. At this time, a few outsiders came to this town.

"It's rare to see such a cool place, Dean, how do you know there's a town here?"

These outsiders are Xiao Yun, Jing Yifan and others from Yuerong Academy, and it was Zhu Wu who spoke just now.

Xiao Yun touched his beard and said quite proudly: "This town is completely isolated from the outside, so you naturally don't know. I remember that it was a few decades ago, when I was still a student, and I accompanied the former dean to the royal capital to run errands, and I met a bandit on the way. ”

"Don't underestimate this desolate place, there is a road from here that leads directly to the royal capital, if there is no person here to lead the way, we can't go there!"

"Then we are still going here?" asked Li Tiannan suspiciously.

Jing Yifan looked at the town in front of him, this town can't be described as a town at all, it is really too small and too desolate. From just now to now, at least ten minutes have passed, and there is not a single figure.

"Seniors don't need to be in a hurry, they want to come and leave here, there is a reason why the dean is there!"

The official road does not come to this desolate place, Jing Yifan does not believe that Xiao Yun will do this, since he has done so, there is definitely a reason. As for what it is, he can't guess it, anyway, it can't be to catch up.

"Well, Senior Brother Yifan is right, can the dean tell us why we came here?" Zhu Wu, who had always been calm and calm, also agreed with Jing Yifan's point of view.

"How many days will it take us to get to Yique on the official road?"

"Three days. ”

Xiao Yun smiled, stretched out his right hand and raised a finger, and said with a smile: "From here, we can get there in one day!"

"Shh

The other three all took a breath and looked at Xiao Yun in shock. It's a bit whimsical to be able to shorten the three-day journey to one day. It's almost impossible to do without a means of transportation.

However, the mountain paths here are winding and rugged, making it difficult for people, let alone other animals.

"Hmph, I know you don't believe it, I also reacted this way at the beginning!" The three of them were deeply unconvinced, Xiao Yun didn't intend to explain, and walked forward directly, leaving the three of them looking at each other, relatively speechless.

Soon entering the town, it seems that the town is really different from other towns outside, there are no street vendors selling here, except for the occasional few shops, there is almost nothing.

If you have to say that this is a small town, it is more appropriate to use the village.

All the way forward, Xiao Yun did not stop to ask for directions, it seems that it is not the first time to come here, looking at his familiar appearance, he knows that he has been here more than once.

After turning left and right a few times, you came to a larger house. After Xiao Yun asked Jing Yifan and the three of them to stay where they were, he walked in alone. After a while, I saw an old man walking out with Xiao Yun, and the two were talking to each other as they walked, and the two should know each other.

"Old mayor, this is the person who participated in the gambling competition this time. The three of you came over to see the mayor. Xiao Yun introduced to the old man, and did not forget to say hello to Jing Yifan and the others.

"Mayor Mare!"

"Well, yes, Yue Rong will need to rely on you young people in the future!" the old mayor glanced at a few people with half-squinted eyes.

"Xiao boy, are you planning to go to Yique from Lanshan this time?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, Jing Yifan and the others looked extremely strange, and the old man didn't look like Xiao Yun was a few years old, how could he feel that Xiao Yun was a few generations younger.

Xiao Yun didn't say anything, as if he was used to this title, and said to himself: "It's too late, I want to go over from Lanshan, so that the three of them can rest for a few more days, and just get familiar with the affairs of Yique." ”

"Alas. The old man sighed and said with embarrassment: "It may not work in the past few days, not long ago Lanshan escaped into a group of bandits, and it has not yet been eradicated, and now I am afraid that it will be encountered in the past, for the safety of the children, I advise you to take the official road." ”

"Withdraw now, it's too late, old mayor, is there really no way?" Xiao Yun's face changed greatly, and he returned to the official road from here, and he had to walk for two more days, so when it was time for Yique, the game had already begun.

"Nope!"

Everyone was extremely disappointed, Zhu Wu stood up and said, "Dean, you must participate in this game competition, I decided to go once." ”

Li Tiannan gritted his teeth and echoed: "I also decided to break through!"

Only Jing Yifan hesitated, it was not that he didn't want to go, but he was hesitant in his heart, he was a thief again, his hand was up and down, his head fell to the ground, and the scene of the death of Second Young Master Jing appeared in front of him.

"Junior brother, if you are afraid, you can go back!" Zhu Wu did not look down on Jing Yifan, when encountering such a thing, it is human nature to choose to back down and escape.

Go! or not!

This is really a difficult choice, maybe you will die before you can get out of the school, and you will die at the hands of Futu before you can even reach Yique. But if he doesn't go, he will lose the qualification for the game competition, and the next time will be in four years, he can wait for the game game, but he can't wait for the once-in-a-century star boundary to recruit disciples. Does he have a hundred years to wait?

"I didn't die at the hands of the bandits last time, and this time I don't believe they can kill me, fight. Gritting his teeth, Jing Yifan looked at Xiao Yun with firm eyes.

Xiao Yun was shocked by the spirit of the three people who did not flinch, and said sharply: "Old mayor, we have decided to go on a journey." ”

"It's decided?"

"It's decided!"

"Now that you have decided, the old man will not hinder you, and immediately find someone to take you there. ”

After the old mayor left for a while, he brought back a middle-aged man, who asked this man to take them to Lanshan, the man only led the way, and did not follow them to Yique, so whether they could reach Yique or not was up to them.

Outside the town is an endless forest, and now Jing Yifan finally knows why Xiao Yun must go to find someone to lead the way, such a lush forest, no one leads the way, and he definitely has to get lost.

Because of the town's proximity to the forest, the middle-aged man was familiar with the route, and it didn't take long to bring them to a large mountain.

"Dean Xiao, there is Lanshan in front, and you can go directly to Yique from here, and the road behind is up to you. ”

"Thank you for leading the way, I can't thank you enough!" Xiao Yun nodded and thanked him. Out of this forest, Xiao Yun knew how to go, from here to Yique, it was just across Lanshan.
