Outside the camp tent resounded bursts of loud singing, this is a unique poll in Youzhou, called "North Wind Song", the singing voice is high-pitched, tactfully turn to listen, the lyrics and songs describe the mountains and rivers, there is a unique charm, and it is deeply loved by the people of Youzhou.

The north wind outside sings:

The cold wind cast the iron tree silver flower.

The black soil of the White River has nurtured the people of the Northland.

The blue sky is thousands of miles, and the mountains are undulating.

The silver waves are vast, and the products are abundant.

The north wind blows, and people laugh!

Friends came and had wine, and the fragrance of wine was in the clouds.

The tiger is standing on the fertile soil, and the longbow is in my hand.

The north wind blows, and people laugh!

With the singing, Zhang Xiaoshan woke up and turned around, and immediately felt sore, but he was a cultivator, so he immediately used his mana to dissolve all the residual alcohol power in his body, and he immediately became refreshed. It had been a long time since he had slept like this, and he had been so late last night that he had drunk so much that he didn't even know how to get back into the camp.

When he was getting up, he found that there was a pretty beauty lying on his body, it was Tu Qianqian, who was still drooling with oily faces, who would have thought that such a beauty would look so embarrassed when she slept, and there were two fluffy pink tails behind her, it must have been because Tu Qianqian drank too much alcohol last night, otherwise Tu Qianqian had taken the Transformation Pill, and she would not easily reveal her demon form.

Sure enough, although the wine is good, you can't be greedy for a cup! Last night, I really lost my dignity, if my master knew that I was so frivolous, I don't know how to punish it...

Liu Zhangshi of the caravan had already been waiting impatiently, he couldn't believe that the venerable cultivator would actually mix with those reckless men and get drunk like that, it was really an eye-opener for him, if it wasn't for the cultivation that he couldn't fake, he wanted to leave these people behind and go straight to the road.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan had woken up at this time, Liu Zhangshi hurriedly ordered the caravan to continue to move forward, and they would arrive at the predetermined ambush location within five days according to the plan, and place Zhang Xiaoshan and the others there.

Yesterday's dark guard followed another team of Juxian Tower, marched overnight, and it only took three days to reach the predetermined abdominal muscle position, and they would use two days to set up a formation there in advance.

In this way, the convoy rushed all the way, and a day later came to Zhenmaguan.

Inside and outside the pass, crowded with teams from the major chambers of commerce, some want to enter Youzhou, some want to leave Youzhou, under the guidance of the Zhang family's guards, everything is going on in an orderly manner. After the team of Juxian Tower went through the customs clearance procedures, the mighty team opened the pass.

Outside Zhenma Pass, there are large neat barracks, these were originally the camps of the Zhang family's guards, but at this moment, they are full of people who want to enter Youzhou, and there are more than 8,000 people. These people came from all over the south and wanted to enter Youzhou to start a new life. For this kind of person, the Zhang family has always been very welcome, because Youzhou is located in the north, the local population is not large, and only by constantly absorbing people from other places can the needs of the development of the Zhang family be met. However, it was unfortunate that these people came, just in time for the entire territory of Youzhou to be closed and forbidden for ordinary people to enter. Therefore, these people can only stay here for a while, waiting for the time when the Zhang family opens and closes.

In order to appease these people, the Zhang family still made a lot of preparations, and the Zhang family provided three meals a day, and would regularly give these people some work, such as opening up wasteland outside the Guan, repairing the villages outside the Guan, etc., all of which had a lot of income.

Zhang Xiaoshan sat in the carriage, looking at the majestic pass outside, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings, his current identity has nothing to do with the Zhang family, and he left Youzhou this time, and he didn't know when he could come back.

"Child, your Hundred Refining Stone is indeed a token of my Zhang family, but I still can't let you in now!" said a guard of the Zhang family to a dirty child at the gate.

The child's clothes were tattered and his face was dirty, but the child's eyes were always bright, and his waist was straight. Behind him, his father and brother stood, both of whom were also dusty servants.

"Uncle, why can't I go in?" the child asked, in order to come to Youzhou, the father and son walked for more than half a year, sleeping in the open along the way, and encountered danger several times, but fortunately, several of them were blessed with great lives, and finally broke through without danger, and finally got here, but did not let them enter Youzhou, how could they not be disappointed.

Looking at the child in front of him, the guard of the Zhang family also patiently explained: "Child, this is the period of the ban in my Youzhou, and no one can enter or leave except for the Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, the Hundred Refining Stone you took is obviously only available to the core children of my family, and I must report this matter to the family to decide, and it will be decided by the elders, and you can temporarily settle down outside the city first, and there will be results soon. ”

Zhang Xiaoshan recognized this child at a glance was the child he recognized when he was in Lanzhou, and he did have the intention of accepting apprentices at that time, but he didn't know the child's intentions, so he made an agreement, if the child wanted to come to apprenticeship, he could go north to Youzhou to find himself, which can be regarded as a kind of experience before apprenticeship. It's just that there have been too many things during this time, and I have long forgotten about this matter, and I can't imagine that I will be reunited with this child here, isn't this a great opportunity?

He immediately gave instructions to Tu Qianqian, and at the same time asked Beijia Xiangyun to inform Liu Zhang, and the caravan stopped for a moment in front.

How dare Liu Zhangshi disobey Zhang Xiaoshan's intentions, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still ordered to stop on the road under the pass.

Zhang Xiaoshan got out of the carriage and walked to a position quite far away from the caravan, and then sat under a dead log, waiting for only a moment, Tu Qianqian came over with the child just now.

The child held Tu Qianqian's hand tightly, thinking that he had recognized this beautiful big sister.

"Child, do you still recognize me?" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile as he looked at the children who came over.

When the child saw Zhang Xiaoshan, he shed two lines of tears, knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, kowtowed three times, and said respectfully: "Little dog, please meet the teacher!"

"Haha, you're well-behaved!" Zhang Xiaoshan smiled: "But your name is not good, since you have entered my door, you can't still call it a puppy, so let's do it... Well, you are called Jiang Silkworm, our master and the two of us are married because of the Silkworm King, and your name can be regarded as a response to the friendship between you and me. ”

Jiang Silkworm pondered for a while, and kept muttering "Jiang Silkworm, Jiang Silkworm!" Tu Qianqian on the side smiled: "Silly boy, the son has already given you a name, why don't you hurry up and kneel down to thank you!"

Only then did the ginger silkworm react, and solemnly kowtowed three times, and his forehead immediately turned red.

Zhang Xiaoshan said: "Stretch out your arm!"

Jiang Silkworm obediently stretched out two arms, Zhang Xiaoshan stretched out his right index finger, put it on Jiang Silkworm's wrist, sensed it for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "Originally, I promised to accept you as an apprentice, but I only thought about cutting off our mortal fate, if you don't have talent, I will give you a lot of wealth, so that you and your descendants can have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and longevity, but I didn't expect that you actually have a rare earth attribute high-grade spiritual root "Golden Jade Vein", this kind of spiritual root is extremely rare, it seems that I can't accept you as a disciple! “”

Tu Qianqian was also excited when she heard the vein of gold and jade, the attribute exercises she was originally proficient in were also earth attributes, but they were slightly worse than the veins of gold and jade, it was the vein of the "Xuantu Stone Dragon", and it was also a very rare spiritual root, and now she was naturally happy to see Zhang Xiaoshan accept a disciple of the earth attribute.

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Originally, I needed to give you a gift for apprenticeship, but now I don't have time to choose for you, just let me for a while!" He touched his nose and continued: "Now I still have things to do, I can only send you to a place to settle down first, where someone will teach you for me, you have to practice hard, don't let me down, if you can achieve something next time we meet, I will give you an additional gift, you have to seize the opportunity!"

Zhang Xiaoshan included Jiang Silkworm's father and son in the Lihuo Immortal Mansion, and the Kui'er inside was responsible for taking care of the things in life, and the earth system gong law was taught by a vibrating arm Vajra ape in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty, and now hundreds of remnants of the entire vibrating arm Vajra Ape clan are living in the Lihuo Immortal Mansion, and they all recognize Zhang Xiaoshan as the lord, and they naturally do their best to do things, and they dare not be sloppy in the slightest.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't expect that he was about to leave Youzhou and have such an opportunity, but he had another thing on his mind...

Thirty miles away from Zhenmaguan is a dense ancient forest, which was an important battle site in the previous war, and the remains of fallen trees can be seen everywhere, as well as large pits filled with sewage, and occasionally one or two broken corpses can be found in some hidden corners.

Because of the large number of people who died here, they were all unnatural deaths, so the resentment accumulated in this forest is also extremely strong, according to rumors, many caravans have seen ghosts, ghosts and other evil plants in the woods recently.

The caravan of Juxian Tower has been walking on this route all year round, so it is naturally prepared in advance.

The caravan was stationed at a distance of ten miles from the woods for the night, and all the personnel cleaned and sorted out their appearances, because the Yin Evil Plant liked to hunt for sloppy and filthy creatures, and once they succeeded, they would suck all the flesh and blood of the living people clean. In addition, the caravan also distributed saltpeter and bronze mirrors to the samurai who guarded them, and once they entered the woods, the samurai held these items high in an attempt to dispel evil spirits.
