"We have the protection of the immortals here, next to it is the famous peak of the Lingshan where the immortals live, and the thieves who don't open their eyes dare not come here to make trouble, don't worry, even if there are really thieves, they must have avoided this road a long time ago, there are Taoist true immortals on the mountain, and you are still the same family, so don't worry."

After hearing this, Wang Lin understood why the previous horseback official despised the bandits so much, and everyone could still remain calm in the face of the disaster of swords and soldiers.

But when he raised his head and looked at the towering Taiheng Mountain, he always felt in his heart that the immortals and gods on those mountains were unreliable.

When he met the white dragon before, no one came to save him.

Moreover, Su Banxia's performance before also made him understand that the cultivators in this world are also ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires.

Since he can have fun, has emotions and obsessions, he will naturally find things troublesome, and it is impossible to take care of everything.

What's more, Wang Lin treated others with himself, and put himself in his shoes, if he was also a thief and a thief, he was already licking blood at the tip of a knife, and he was really going to be forced to be in a hurry, who could care about avoiding any immortal gods and spiritual mountains?

Even the brainless Mo Yunling dared to shout at the foot of Taiheng Mountain, not to mention this kind of real villain who gambled his life on his future.

If he is that gang of thieves, facing other counties and towns that are strictly guarded, it is better to gamble directly, and pick the Taiheng Mountain to plunder, maybe he can take the opportunity to break through and avoid the pursuit of the government.

But in any case, this matter has nothing to do with him, and it is not his turn to worry about it.

In two days, he will go up the mountain to cultivate immortals.

There is a master under the mountain, and nothing can happen.

It's better to think about how to make money so that you and Master can eat such a bowl of delicious Yangchun noodles at every meal.

But Wang Lin walked around the village and didn't find any business opportunities.

The village is self-sufficient, the pedestrians on the road walk in a hurry, and there is not even a coolie in the vicinity.

Sure enough, as Shi Zhile said before, only in Jinyang City, forty miles away, can you make money.

Forty miles is nothing to him today.

In less than two or three moments, you can run back and forth.

Just as he was about to avoid pedestrians and rush to Jinyang City at the speed that he was now as fast as a galloping horse, there was a sudden commotion on the avenue ahead.

The horseback riding official who looked leisurely and careless before, has now changed his face.

I saw that he was so worried that he stopped all the pedestrians and carriages passing by in a panic.

He ordered his men to bring stones and stand guard by the roadside, and set up a temporary barricade, which blocked one or two hundred people in a moment.

"The gates are closed, and this road is closed." ”

It didn't take long for the cars and horses behind him to pile up more and more, and the people were crowded into a black area.

Seeing the crowd gathering, Wang Lin secretly took two steps back and retreated to the side of the official road.

On this road, there are many large carriages that want to rush to Jinyang City.

The man in charge of opening the way for his entourage, seeing that the front was gradually congested, immediately rushed to investigate the situation.

"Why can't you get by? My son-in-law still has urgent matters, so he can't delay, so get out of the way quickly! ”

A small guard came on horseback, shouting loudly, maintaining the majesty of his master, while turning over and dismounting, and secretly stuffing a few copper coins into the official.

In the past, when encountering some unexpected situations, the local officials would look at the sake of these few dollars and open a special channel for the big families to leave first.

But today, the horseback officer somehow changed his temper and threw the bribe back to the guard.

The crowd around was in a commotion, the sound was noisy, and I was afraid that it would not be long before someone rushed up and completely messed up the scene.

The horseback officer had a gloomy face, exchanged a look with the little official beside him, and then shouted:

"Out of the knife!"

With more than a dozen brushes, these officials pulled out their swords together, raised their blades above their heads, and looked fiercely at the people in front of them.

As soon as the knife came out of its sheath, the pedestrians instantly settled down and stopped talking.

Undeterred, the entourage of the big family gathered in front of the wagons, swords in hand, and gathered together.

Seeing that everyone had taken out the guys, Wang Lin quietly retreated behind the people.

Secretly put his right hand behind his back, grabbed the wine bottle with his left hand, and secretly urged the movement route of the six-vein divine sword.

The few guards who had caught up with the horses before had directly put on a posture, showed their swords, and shouted to each other and asked, why did they draw their swords to each other?

"This is this morning's notice, more than a month ago, there was a gang of bandits in the surrounding 14 counties, and all villages, towns, and cities and villages should be strictly guarded."

The horseback officer took out a notice from his bosom and asked the little officer next to him to show it to everyone.

Then he took out a piece of paper and loudly explained the contents:

"This is an urgent report sent by the scouts half an hour ago, the movement of this gang of bandits has been ascertained, they call themselves the mighty tigers, the leader of the self-proclaimed mountain carving, has gathered hundreds of people, found out his whereabouts three days ago, is rushing to Taiheng Mountain, will arrive within five days, order the county to block the city gates, villages and towns to guard themselves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the gate of Jinyang City has been sealed, and the roads here are strictly prohibited, and those who break through will be killed!"

Seeing that there was a big official seal on the document, the magnates in the carriage settled down.

quickly put away his sword, and without saying a word, he hurriedly took his respective family members and turned the head of the car.

The pedestrians also scattered like birds and beasts, and fled in the north and northwest directions with the wagons of the big families.

And those who are really powerful and can go to the city gate to summon the rope hanging baskets, but at this time, they have the ability to go against the flow of people, and still go south to Jinyang City.

But even they didn't dare to take the official road anymore to face the edge of the mighty tigers.

I could only give up the car seat, dismiss the family, leave only relatives and a few strong guards, walk from the mountain road and woodland, and go around to Jinyang City, for fear of being met by bandits on the way.

Wang Lin was also going to leave and go back to inform the master of this matter, and see what arrangements the immortal cultivators had for this situation.

But the "mighty tigers" and "mountain eagles" mentioned by the officials, these two familiar and abnormal names, made him suspicious.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a ......

He hesitated, stopped retreating, and thought about it in place.

At this time, there are very few people who dare to stay in place.

It's just six people.

In addition to Wang Lin, there is only a pair of monks and apprentices, two chivalrous warriors, and an acquaintance he met some time ago, the eldest brother of the Mo family, Mo Yunqi.

The monks, one old and one young, carried a large bag full of bags, and carried tin rods and packages in their hands, and carried a lot of things.

The knights, a man and a woman, wore swords at their waists, snuggled up to each other, and looked indifferent, as if they didn't take the mighty tigers in their eyes.

But Mo Yunqi didn't know why, he was left alone, wandering in place with an anxious expression.

When he saw that the people were almost scattered, the horseman quickly called for men to support him, and got off his horse tremblingly.

Jinyang City is backed by Taiheng Mountain, and he has been peaceful for a long time, he is just a petty official in charge of the surrounding villages and towns, how can he ever see such a murderer who has fallen into the grass and killed from the siege of more than a dozen counties?

But even if he wanted to escape at the moment, he couldn't do it.

The military guard, who was originally responsible for the garrison of the north city gate, roads and villages, did not know how to dredge up the relationship, and at this critical juncture, he was able to be transferred to the city to do patrols.

And unlucky, when he just returned to the city on a business trip, he inexplicably became the new military guard.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he was suddenly told that Zhizhou had made great contributions to the defense of the villages and towns outside the city because of his timely order this morning, and he was temporarily promoted to the military guard outside the north city gate.

The official rank was raised by ten grades at once, from a small official, to a captain of Yilu from the seventh rank.

The previous military guards had quite a way to change officers and save their lives.

But when he took over the position of military guard, he did not dare to be a deserter, and he had no way, and he didn't even have a few decent armor soldiers in his hands.

I can only do my duty here and resign myself to fate.
