Chapter 122: A Chance Encounter

At sunset, the convoy of people going to Beijing to catch the exam was moving slowly on the mountain road.

No matter what the era, long walks are not a comfortable thing.

Although there are carriages to travel, bumpy on the rugged road for a few days, and occasionally have to sleep in the wilderness, most of the scholars who go to Beijing to take the examination are a little unable to hold on. Therefore, the speed will be slowed down today, otherwise I am afraid that someone will lose half of their lives.

Bao Zheng didn't feel anything, he had been by Aunt Bao's side since he was a child, and he would follow wherever the caravan went. Although his martial arts are very ordinary, he often works hard to exercise his body, and he is half a Jianghu person, and it doesn't matter to him about the bumps.

Zhu Wei is a little miserable, this boy is not only pampered, but also fat.

Roshan's body shape, swaying in the carriage, vomited the next day, and later he didn't even have the strength to sit up.

But even lying down, Zhu Wei was still uncomfortable.

"If I knew that I wouldn't go out, wouldn't this road be paved a little?" Zhu Wei said weakly.

Bao Zheng ignored him, yesterday he had asked Dao Ran for help, and as soon as the Bodhi Pure Heart Song came out, everyone's fatigue disappeared. Zhu Wei has also recovered most of it, and he is still lying down today completely because he is lazy.

Bao Zheng lifted the curtain, pointed outside and said, "Zhu Fatty, look at people." ”

Outside the carriage, Xiaoqing, dressed in a strong suit, was carrying two boulders and moving forward with the convoy at an unhurried speed. Each stone is taller than a person, adding up to more than a thousand catties, but Xiaoqing's face is not red or panting, just frowning tightly, walking faster than a horse.

Zhu Wei said angrily: "Why don't you learn! ”

This pack of sunspots, even the heart is starting to turn black.

Bao Zheng couldn't help laughing, when he first set off, Zhu Wei also asked him about Xiaoqing's situation, obviously attracted by Xiaoqing's stunning appearance.

But before Bao Zheng could help, everyone in the convoy was surprised to see the little girl running to the side of the road and carrying a boulder.

At that time, Zhu Wei saw it, his mouth was wide open, and he almost dislocated his chin.

Since then, Zhu Wei has never had the idea of beating Xiaoqing again.

Such a strange woman, if she gives you a punch when she is coquettish, she will be able to eat in two days.

It's not just Zhu Wei, what man doesn't like beauties?

A group of big men in the team would have some thoughts when they saw Xiaoqing, but when they saw the performance of this boulder carrying it like flying, most of them chose to stay away.

Zhu Wei's two guards, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, were even more emotional, but fortunately, Chongyang Guan was Daoran in front of it. If this little young girl gave them two punches, the two of them would be directly hammered into rotten meat, and the Daoran Holy Monk would not be able to save them.

Zhu Wei watched Xiaoqing walk step by step, and said enviously: "If only I had this ability, what kind of gentleman would I be, grab two sledgehammers and rush to the battlefield, and the double hammers will shock and kill 20,000 enemy soldiers with a single touch, this is an iron-blooded real man." ”

Bao Zheng felt that his friend was really self-aware, and Zhu Wei knew that he was a gentleman who couldn't do anything, but he knew that he was too lazy to work hard.

"I heard that the little young girl is not practicing ordinary martial arts, but the method of cultivating immortals." Bao Zheng said.

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it, you ruined my fantasy of fairies, are the fairies in the Heavenly Palace all fierce generals who pull out the mountains and conquer the world?!" Zhu Wei protested loudly.

The two scholars were joking in the carriage, and outside the carriage, Xiaoqing was practicing seriously under the supervision of Dao Ran.

Carrying the stone is not a burden for Xiaoqing, after all, her body is a green snake like a mountain, but Dao Ran asked Xiaoqing not to use the power of her body, but to use the mana in her body to hold up the boulder.

This is the cultivation method that Lei Zhenzi taught to Dao Ran's human race - the trick of moving mountains.

Xiaoqing was fundamentally injured by the demon refining formation, and she took the Transformation Pill to forcibly cross the catastrophe, which caused her lifespan to be greatly damaged, and she only had ten years left to live.

The practitioner uses mana to hold up the boulder, and after a long time, his own mana will be impregnated with the aura of the earth, and when he feeds his body, he can condense the body of the thick earth by running according to the exercises, which has the effect of consolidating the foundation and increasing the longevity.

The trick of moving mountains is cultivated to the depths of the essence, and the mountains can be moved with a light grasp, which is the real magic power of moving mountains and reclamation.

It's just that it's very difficult to cultivate, and it's not very suitable for Xiaoqing.

Cultivating the trick of moving mountains requires a calm mind, and people with a wooden personality can get twice the result with half the effort. Xiaoqing is like a bear child, very jumpy, and usually can't be quiet at all. This kind of stupid kung fu, Xiaoqing often gets impatient after practicing for less than half an hour.

Although Bai Suzhen said that let Xiaoqing choose by herself, in Daoran's opinion, Xiaoqing is a child who has not grown up, and this kind of life-and-death matter cannot be caused by her temperament.

Do you have to wait ten years to see her die?

Therefore, Dao Ran took over Bai Suzhen's responsibilities and forced Xiaoqing to cultivate every day.

Although Xiaoqing was not happy, she remembered that she came to Daoran's side to repay her kindness. When Dao Ran seriously asked Xiaoqing to practice the trick of moving mountains, Xiaoqing could only grit his teeth and admit it.

A few days passed, and the cultivation effect was average. But on the first page of the mountain move, this sentence is written: the heart has a direction, day after day, there must be diligence.

There is no other shortcut, just keep practicing hard day after day.

As the sun sank below the horizon, the convoy stopped to prepare for a fire to cook, and tonight was another day of sleeping in the wilderness. However, these carriages can be put together to form a sheltered shed, enough for everyone to rest together.

Xiaoqing threw the boulder down, and the loud bang startled a large flock of birds.

Xiaoqing laughed, and then ran away. She was bored with moving rocks, and she was going to catch a few mice to reward herself.

Dao Ran didn't stop it, it's still important to gather for work and rest, as long as you don't relax too much.

The people in the convoy were already surprised, and began to dismantle the planks from the wagons and build them into the proposed wooden sheds.

Of course, this kind of heavy work does not need to be done by the scholars, and the team has invited the dart masters of the two dart games to escort them, and those executioners can naturally do it properly.

I thought it was another ordinary night, but the silence of the twilight was soon shattered by the dense sound of horses' hooves.

The guards in charge of the escort were not in a hurry, first stuffed the scholars into the wooden shed, and then drew their weapons to form a formation, waiting for the arrival.

It won't necessarily be a fight, but it's certainly not wrong to prepare first.

This has happened a few times along the way. It is impossible not to encounter bandits on the way to Beijing, but most of the bandits will choose to turn around and leave when they see this team. A group of scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam would not bring much gold and silver, and it was not worth provoking so many dart masters.

Most of the time, it's a fast passerby, and everyone is safe.

And as long as the other party doesn't do it, Dao Ran won't take the initiative to slaughter these thieves, who knows how many of these people who fell into the grass were forced?

If you kill dozens of people, you may have a barbecue +1, and it is better to brag a few more times with this group of scholars.

But this time, it doesn't seem to be the bandits.

Dozens of knights in thin armor appeared, with a prisoner cart behind them. The mountain road was bumpy, and the prisoner cart was running wildly, looking like it would fall apart at any time. The people in the prison cart were still wearing shackles all over their bodies, and if they kept running like this, they would probably be killed in less than half a mile.

Although they knew that it was from the government, the dart masters did not have the slightest intention of relaxing, in this wild place, the government was actually not much different from the bandits.

If you really want to say that there is, the bandits will kill people and steal money, and the government will kill them and cut off the heads to count them as meritorious deeds.

One of the knights at the head has a rather peculiar shape, with four long knives stuck in his back, like an old general on the stage.

The man turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the convoy and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official Jin Niu Wei Qianhu Zuo Wanli, is ordered to escort the Qin prisoner to Beijing. It's getting late today, and we've been running around for days without getting a drop of water, could you please make it easier for you to sell us some rice? ”
