Mirror Realm.

"Childe, Boss Lu said that the car was a candidate who was going to Pingluan Academy to catch the exam, and I didn't know much about the other situations, and it was the old coachman who came forward to communicate the whole process."

When Liu Zheng came back from Boss Lu, he also brought back the simple food and water bladders prepared for them by the caravan, but he didn't bring back any useful news.

The caravan welcomed fat sheep like them in their own carriages, because they didn't have to pay extra costs, so they basically didn't interrogate their identity.

If there is really a big problem, those demon armies defending the city are not eating dry food.

It's just that there aren't many fat sheep like Lin Chuan, this time except for the eldest lady of the Lu family, it is not easy to get together two carriages, if you can meet customers like Lin Chuan and them every time you travel, Boss Lu is estimated to be able to wake up with a smile in his dreams.

After all, those really rich people will keep their own empty beasts in captivity, or have their own caravans, only Lin Chuan, who is in the middle of the road, or dissatisfied with a bottle, will join the caravan for safety.

As for the travelers who have no money, they will only pay a little protection money to the caravan so that the caravan will not drive them away.

And the caravan will not take into account their speed, if they can keep up, they will follow, and if they can't keep up, they can only blame themselves for their foot strength, but the protection fee will definitely not be refunded.

After all, the cost of money is different, and the services you enjoy are also different.

……

The Hengtong caravan simply rested for half an hour before resuming its journey.

Wolves and bandits are rampant in Youzhou, and Lu Anhe needs to lead the caravan to Luoxia Town, which is closest to the border city, before sunset.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the speed of the caravan became faster and faster, and many travelers who had paid the protection fee had no physical strength at all, and gradually began to fall behind.

After Lu Qinqin instructed Ah Shuang to catch up with Boss Lu in front, he chatted about the curtain and asked a little puzzled:

"Uncle Fourteen, why has the speed of the caravan become so much faster, those travelers can't keep up with our speed, haven't they paid the protection fee?"

Lu Anhe glanced back at those who began to fall behind, and responded very calmly:

"Because the wolf bandits are rampant, we have to rush to Luoxia Town before dark, they ...... You can only ask for more blessings. ”

People are responsible for the decisions they make, since they have chosen to travel in this troubled world, they must be prepared to face the wolf bandits, Lu Anhe is a businessman, not a philanthropist.

In his eyes, everything can be priced.

Compared to the danger that could put the caravan in danger, the lives of those civilians were not worth mentioning.

Lu Qinqin raised her neck with an unkind face, and asked very unconvinced:

"Do those wolf bandits still dare to attack our Lu family?"

Lu Anhe's eyes obviously flashed a trace of displeasure, but he could only explain stubbornly:

"This is not Jinling, not the base camp of the Lu family, we are just a caravan of the Lu family, it is said that the leader of the wolf bandit already has the strength to approach the Hedao realm, do you think that ancestor of our family will attack the wolf bandit because of a caravan?"

"......"

Lu Qinqin looked at the desperate looks on the faces of those civilians, and was still a little unbearable, but as soon as she spoke, Lu Anhe interrupted her:

"There's nothing to do, eldest miss, I need to be responsible for you, the caravan, and the Lu family."

After Boss Lu finished speaking, he shook the reins, galloped to the front of the caravan, and shouted: "All staff!" Speed! Be sure to arrive in Luoxia before it gets dark! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and the coachmen who were driving the oxen were obviously faster with the whips in their hands.

……

Because Lin Chuan couldn't deduce the origin of the thin old man for a while, he switched places with Xuanjing, leaning on the front of the car "sickly", letting the oncoming breeze blow the ends of his hair.

But as the team accelerated again, Liu Zheng also saw Lin Chuan's doubts, and before he could ask, he explained very sensibly:

"Our wolf bandits are rampant in Youzhou, and the sun has begun to sink in the west, so Boss Lu is still very safe to speed up at this time."

"Wolf bandits...... I'd love to see it. ”

Lin Chuan's face showed a sudden look, although he had never been out of the border city, but under Jiang Luo's ears and eyes, he also knew a lot about the affairs of this world.

……

The history of this "wolf bandit" can be traced back to the dark era before the opening of the Great Qin Dynasty.

At that time, there was no so-called country in the Mirror Xuan Realm, and there was only one sect after another to defend the mountain, resisting the plundering of the demon clan, and competing with the neighboring sects for resources.

Years of war and chaos, human life is not as good as mustard, and the people are not happy.

Everyone is chasing the immortal fate, but the resources available for human cultivation are not unlimited, so there are evil monks such as the alchemy of the living and the soul of the dead.

Jiang Luo once said that when she first saw that history in a scroll, all she saw between the lines was the word "cannibalism".

And the earliest wolf bandits appeared at that time, those bandits gathered in the greedy wolf mountain, resisted the wolves, acted extremely quickly, and the methods were also extremely cruel, and there was no one alive in any place they passed.

It wasn't until Qin Wusheng opened up the Great Qin Dynasty and ended that dark age that the trouble of wolf bandits in Youzhou was resolved.

It's a pity that the Great Qin Dynasty has been inherited for 2,000 years, and the imperial court has been decaying.

The people of Youzhou, who are fierce and fierce, except for joining the Demon Army of Wuji Sect, the rest of them went to Greedy Wolf Mountain again and became wolf bandits who came and went without a trace.

……

"Childe, I heard that the big boss on Greedy Wolf Mountain is about to be promoted to the Merge Dao Realm, let's not see those wolf bandits in this line."

Liu Zheng carefully persuaded, he still couldn't figure out Lin Chuan's temperament, and he always felt that he had chosen this thigh, which was too contradictory.

For the sake of some villagers who have never known each other, Lin Chuan can risk his identity being exposed, enter the Tiger Ben Army camp alone, and kill a river of blood.

But when he knew that some of the villagers had betrayed him, he was extremely calm, as if he had expected such a result, but he did not hide the killing intent of those betrayers at all.

"Don't think about it too much, it's just curious, more things are better than less things, I remember that you are a martial artist, and you have asked me for two tricks at night."

Lin Chuan patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder, then turned around and went back to the car, although he still didn't trust this Steward Liu, but this did not prevent Lin Chuan from giving him some benefits.

If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass.

……

Nothing to say all the way.

When the sunset was about to sink into the sea of clouds, the caravan finally arrived at Luoxia Town.

It's just that those travelers who have paid protection money, but only a few of them have good foot strength and follow here.

Luoxia Town is not protected by the city wall, it is just a small town, and there are only a few hundred households in the town, but it is the safest and richest place within a radius of 100 miles.

All because of the huge bluestone archway at the entrance of the town, and the four big characters engraved on it, "Sword Immortal Cuishi".

This is the ancestral land of the Younan Shi clan and the Cui family.

After the Great Qin Dynasty unified the world, it divided all the sects at that time into scholar clans, which was convenient to control on the one hand, and to control the number of monks on the other hand.

This Cui clan used to be a great sword cultivator in Youzhou, so even now, no Xiao Xiao dared to make trouble.

……

The sun set, but the three bright moons were hidden in the clouds.

Luoxia Town, which is full of people on weekdays, is quiet like a ghost at this time.

The Hengtong caravan stopped outside the archway, and Lu Anhe had a very bad premonition, so he didn't let everyone get off the horse and rest, but prepared to send someone to the town to investigate first.

Inside the carriage, Xuanjing woke up Lin Chuan, who was still cultivating, and said with some concern:

"Senior brother, something seems to be wrong here."

"Huh?"

Lin Chuan, who was immersed in cultivation, found that the carriage had stopped, he jumped out of the carriage with some puzzlement, looked at the bluestone archway at the entrance of Luoxia Town, turned his head and asked:

"Is this a deserted town?"

Liu Zheng shook his head:

"It should be very prosperous here, I lived here for a few days before I entered the sect."

Lin Chuan also felt a little weird, and without saying a word, he released the dark clone.

But when Lingyin passed through the archway, he suddenly lost contact with Lin Chuan, and even Lingyin himself couldn't feel it.

Lin Chuan's back suddenly had goosebumps, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Xuanjing also jumped out of the carriage and said with a solemn expression: "Senior brother, there is something strange here...... I didn't feel the breath of the demons, and I didn't have any resentment, but I felt a very strong desire. ”

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, Liu Zheng urged that Boss Lu to hurry up and get on the road, even if he camps in the wild, it's better than here."

"Yes."

……

Lin Chuan has watched horror movies with Xiao Zuo, although Xiao Zuo is very emotionally indifferent, he has not been afraid of killing people since he was a child, but he is most afraid of this kind of weird thing, so every time the old dean shows them a horror movie, Xiao Zuo will subconsciously ask him to come.

According to the basic routine of horror movies, as long as you don't die, you won't die, Lin Chuan thinks that he is a person who listens to persuasion, as long as he can not enter a place like this, he will never go in.

Soon, Liu Zheng walked back, without him opening his mouth, looking at his sullen appearance, Lin Chuan knew that Lu Anhe didn't listen to him.

"Childe, Boss Lu said that he would wait for his people to come back."

Lin Chuan smashed his mouth and said helplessly:

"Tsk, it's going to be, first don't leave when it's time to go, and then it's because of a certain brain-dead supporting role, I propose that everyone go in groups, so that they can break the ...... one by one."

Before the words landed, Lu Qinqin's voice came from the front of the team:

"Uncle Fourteen! There are at least 40 awakened monks in our caravan, and as long as they are divided into four groups and take care of each other, they will definitely find out what is going on here! ”

Xuanjing looked back at Lin Chuan in some shock, he really couldn't imagine that his senior brother would inherit the mantle of the mad Dao master's "nothing can be counted" without making a sound.

Lin Chuan smiled helplessly, he didn't expect the "supporting role" to be by his side...... But he still couldn't hold back, and then complained:

"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, that Boss Lu will refuse first, and then he will encounter some force majeure and have to take all of us into the town......"

Fortunately, Lin Chuan's words did not work immediately this time.

Xuanjing sighed and said helplessly:

"Senior brother, why don't you practice closed-mouth meditation with me for a few days first?"

Lin Chuan also pondered that things would not be so coincidental, but before he could reply, Liu Zheng looked at their sides in horror:

"That's not right! Childe, look over there! ”

It was the direction in which the caravan came down from the official road, but the originally spacious official road had disappeared, and in its place, there was a strange thick fog!

"Senior brother, shut up and meditate!"

Xuanjing didn't know where to find a Buddhist scripture, and stuffed it directly into Lin Chuan's arms.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem, we're not a teacher like Senior Sister Luo, how can we speak the law, it's probably just foggy, as long as there are no weird sounds......"

Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, Xuanjing covered his mouth.

It's a pity that it's too late......

"There is a face in the warm mist ~ red lips and a red face"

"There is a person in the cold fog ~ white skirt and white thread"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ~ I'm looking at you from behind"

"Seventy-six, five-four, three-two-one~ I carry myself forward"

It is said that nursery rhymes are down-to-earth, but this one is connected to the underworld......

The ethereal nursery rhyme echoed under the night sky, and the little girl's crying voice made even a Buddha like Xuanjing feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Because until now, he and Lin Chuan had not felt the slightest fluctuation of aura.

Lin Chuan also quickly closed his mouth, he really didn't dare to say any more.

The unknown is terrifying, even if the coercion of the Returning Realm comes from the fog, it is better than the current situation.

"This fog can't go in!"

One of the guards closest to the official road immediately shouted, because the reins in his hand were broken, but the black-scaled pony that was swallowed by the fog did not make a sound, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

The speed of the dense fog spread quickly, and for this strange situation, everyone's first choice was to dodge, so soon everyone gathered next to the archway at the entrance of Luoxia Town.

Lin Chuan and Xuanjing also gave up the carriage and moved to the entrance of the town with the crowd.

But the fog didn't stop spreading.

As the fog spreads faster and faster, the strange nursery rhyme sound gets closer and closer.

Finally, someone collapsed, couldn't help but take a step towards the archway, and quickly retracted his legs, and after repeatedly making sure that he was fine, he decisively approached the archway.

At this time, the farther away from the fog, the more secure they are, as long as they can hide in the crowd, everyone's sanity will not collapse.

Someone took the lead, and everyone no longer ignored the strangeness in the town, and rushed into the archway, and the heavy fog also stopped outside the archway sensibly.

It was as if there was a transparent cover covering the town, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a noisy whisper came from outside the town, as if countless people were whispering.

Countless pairs of large and small hands stretched out from the fog, and the transparent cover that blocked the dense fog was like a balloon, clearly wrapping those palms.

Lin Chuan could even see the lines on those palms......
