Chapter 1: Tempest Canyon
......
"Hurry up, this batch of goods can be delivered to the city in a hurry, and we will leave in half an hour, otherwise we won't even be able to get a safe place to stay tonight!"
In Qifeng Town, at the side door of the Yi family's main house, dozens of people are carrying goods back and forth, stuffing seven or eight carriages high, and at the same time, there are two or three strong men next to each car, who are struggling to straighten the goods and tie them up firmly.
Next to him, two young men, one tall and one short, were directing everyone to speed up their pace, the short one was called Yi Gui, who had only been in Yi Mansion for two years, and now he finally had the opportunity to take on the important task and lead the caravan to Qingyan City to do business.
Although he is only a trainee deputy team leader, Yi Gui can hardly hide the excitement in his heart, a high-spirited appearance, from the morning when the workers began to stock up, a mouth has never stopped, and everyone has to drink two or three sentences to enjoy it, full of appearance.
Gao's name is Yi Xiang, who has been in Yi Mansion for eight years, although he is only in his early twenties, but he has a calm breath and a calm attitude, and he is the leader of the deacon.
Although Yi Xiang has only served as the leader of the team for nearly one or two years, but the route between Qifeng Town and Qingyan City, he always has to go more than seven or eight times a year, although the road is not very calm, but no matter the size of the details of the affairs are already in the chest, not as frizzy as Yi Gui, only in the details related to the safety of transportation, will give a word or two.
Suddenly, out of the corner of Yi Xiang's eyes, a familiar little black shadow flashed across the corner of the wall, looking sneaky, but a little clumsy, the corners of Yi Xiang's mouth curled up and chuckled slightly, turned around and walked towards the corner.
"Young Master Ting has slipped to the back mountain to play again, although there are many guards stationed nearby, but it is too dangerous for you to go in alone. Before Yi Xiang walked to the corner, he spoke out first, and when he finished speaking, sure enough, what appeared in front of him was the young master of the court in his mouth.
Yi Ting, who had just turned six years old, was wearing a high-end silk shirt, but at this time it was covered with sludge and weeds, as if he had just rolled up from the ground, but seeing that he was holding two herbs in his hands, he let out two "hehe" two smirks in his mouth, and the bad expression that was still worried about being grabbed by someone immediately changed to an excited happy appearance after hearing the voice of the comer.
"Yi Xiang, look at what I found!" Yi Ting hurriedly stretched out his small hand holding the herb after seeing Yi Xiang, and raised his chin slightly to show off.
After Yi Xiang saw it, there was a slight expression of surprise in his eyes, although what Yi Ting had in his hand were only two ordinary first-grade herbs, but for a child who had just turned six, let alone picking them, even if he wanted to identify them, it was not necessarily a simple matter.
However, Yi Xiang still stopped the words of praise that he was about to blurt out, and after his face turned pale, he said in a somewhat serious tone: "Young Master Ting, you must find someone to accompany you into the back mountain in the future, although there will be no powerful demon beasts around here, but even if it is an ordinary beast, it may still cause harm to you, understand?"
Not hearing the expected words of praise, Yi Ting pouted, frowned, and muttered angrily: "Except for you, who cares about me, but you often don't see anyone, who do you want me to find..."
After hearing this, Yi Xiang was really reluctant in his heart, but he could only sigh in his heart, squatted down, put his hands on Yi Ting's shoulders, and said at eye level: "After two years, when you have some self-preservation, you can go on adventures with you." This time when I go to the city, I'll bring back some of your favorite orange sugar cakes, and by the way, find a few novelty things to look back at for you, you stay in the house and do your homework first, don't run around, okay?"
As soon as Yi Ting heard that he had entered the city, he automatically omitted other words, and said to Yi Xiang excitedly: "You want to enter the city! Then I'll go with you, there's nothing to do in the mansion anyway!"
Yi Xiang shook his head and said: "That's not good, in a few days it will be the day of the routine assessment of the young masters and young ladies in the house, and it will take me at least more than ten days to go back and forth, and I will definitely not be able to take you back in time to participate in the assessment." ”
Yi Ting still didn't give up and said: "I can't cultivate yet, but I have already memorized those scriptures, and I don't need to assess anything at all!"
Yi Xiang still said patiently: "You are the young master of the family's lineage, you must participate in the assessment, and as long as you can pass the test of the spiritual root, you will be able to start cultivating the family exercises, which is the most important thing for you at present." ”
Yi Ting still looked reluctant, and said loudly: "Didn't you help me secretly test last month, it's impossible to awaken the spiritual root just in the past few days! I don't care, I'll go and ask the uncle now, and ask him to let me go into the city with you!"
After saying that, he desperately bypassed Yi Xiang's side, and quickly ran into the side door, and almost bumped into the worker who was moving the goods.
Yi Xiang watched the small figure disappear in front of him, only shook his head helplessly, and sighed lightly with pity.
......
Half a day later, a caravan of more than a dozen carriages of the Yi family galloped through the mountain road at a speed unimaginable to mortals.
The Yi family is the so-called Xiuzhen family in the mouth of mortals, and the more than ten temporary guards in the accompanying convoy, the lowest cultivation is at least a martial artist monk who has reached the middle stage of forging, compared to the martial arts masters who have been trained to the peak by mortals, any one of them can easily block ten with one.
At the same time, it is not an ordinary horse that pulls the vehicle to gallop, but a dragon horse with a trace of demon beast blood, even if it is carrying a heavy truck full of ore and ironwood, it is just an ordinary thing to travel thousands of miles a day, even if it is a tiger giant elephant, feeling the breath of the dragon horse from afar, it has to retreat and flee in panic.
However, a battle like this is only a commonplace scene in the mainland, and the immortal spirit root, which should have been the only one in ten thousand, has undergone earth-shaking changes after tens of thousands of generations.
The bloodline born between the same immortal cultivators, ten of them will have spiritual roots, although those with good qualifications are still few, but those who can cultivate and advance to the initial level of forging have almost accounted for one-fifth of the total number of human races.
Although the number is still dominated by ordinary people, due to the powerful demon beasts everywhere on the continent, the range of mortal activities is limited to some protected very small areas, and the current Hongyuan Continent has truly become a world dominated by cultivators.
......
"Ahead is the Tempest Canyon, everyone be vigilant, maintain the balance of the vehicle, and don't let the goods be swept into the canyon by the wind!"
Yi Xiang stayed at the front of the convoy, but although the wind was already whistling in his ears, Yi Xiang's voice still clearly came into everyone's ears.
Yi Gui sat next to Yi Xiang, personally driving the leading carriage, although Yi Gui also has more than ten times of experience in running business, but taking the lead in leading the way is really the first time in the world, seeing that he is about to enter the first dangerous section of the journey, his heart is really very uneasy.
"Just hold on to the reins, these dragon horses are already old horses, but you have to be careful of the sudden wind slanting the body, and the speed must be slowed down. Yi Xiang just glanced at Yi Gui, mentioned it slightly, and put his mind on the entire convoy behind.
In addition to letting Yi Gui hone his courage, it is also because Yi Xiang has enough self-confidence, even if there is an unexpected emergency situation ahead, Yi Xiang can take over immediately.
In an instant, if the large convoy rushed into the canyon, the oncoming wind pressure made everyone have to use their protective strength to resist with all their might, so that they would not even feel difficult to breathe, and at the same time, they all increased their vigilance by 120,000 points, so as to avoid the sharp wind blades suddenly stirred up between the cracks in the rock wall, damaging the goods or the car body.
However, just as everyone was focusing on the surrounding vigilance, a small round head drilled out of the pile of cargo boxes in the fifth car, and the cheeks, which were originally slightly baby fat, were now flattened by the strong wind, and their eyes were also narrowed into a thin slit, but they still struggled to stretch it open, so that they could see the whistling scene around them.
Although there is a little fear and anxiety in the little heart, but more curiosity and excitement, they are unaware of the endless dangers lurking around them, which can kill people in an instant.
