Meng Xiuyuan did not wait for King Yin Ye to arrive, but chose to set off on the road in advance.

This is not to say that he has any opinions about the people of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and does not want to meet King Yin Ye, but he has indeed reached the date of departure.

This trip from Wudang to Emei is roughly calculated to be more than 2,000 miles away, during which the road is tortuous and complicated, and it is really not easy to walk.

Meng Xiuyuan has a clear understanding of himself, he was born blind, he lived in that small city with a big palm for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he had to look at the navigation when he went out to drive.

Now let him walk from Wudang to Emei on foot, and he has to lose people.

So he didn't take it easy, but chose to set off and take the initiative to ask his senior brother Song Yuanqiao for help, and asked him if he knew how to go on this road.

As soon as Song Yuanqiao heard Meng Xiuyuan's distress, he immediately said that he didn't have to worry, he would arrange it for Meng Xiuyuan, and then he didn't say anything else, and went down Wudang Mountain alone.

Two days later, Song Yuanqiao returned with good news.

He contacted a merchant gang that was preparing to enter Shu in the near future, and Meng Xiuyuan could follow the convoy of this group of merchants, so naturally he would not get lost.

At that time, the time agreed by the two parties was today.

The genius was bright, and Meng Xiuyuan took his bags and quietly went down the mountain with his senior brother. He didn't like the atmosphere when he parted, so he didn't say goodbye to his master and brothers.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place and said goodbye to his senior brother, Song Yuanqiao suddenly took over a huge burden from several merchants and handed it to Meng Xiuyuan.

"Our brothers and sisters all know that you are afraid of trouble, and you may not be too lazy to take the things you have prepared for you on the road, so I sent them over in advance and asked the shopkeeper Dong to keep them on my behalf.

You open it on the way and take a look, there are a lot of practical things we have prepared for each of us. If you think you can use it, you can take it with you, and if you can't use it for the time being, you will hand it over to the shopkeeper Dong for safekeeping, and it will not be cumbersome. ”

Meng Xiuyuan looked at the package the size of a grinding disc and smiled helplessly.

The worries of the mother of the children are the same for the brothers, but it is the same.

The shopkeeper Dong, the leader of the merchant gang next to him, was a good person, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly said:

"Song Daxia, please rest assured, we often take this road to Shu, and we are very familiar with it. Besides, our fleet is so large, whether it is food, drinking water, or daily sundries, we have enough to bring.

I, Dong Lao Er, dare to guarantee you with the head of Xiang Shang, I will never let Meng Shaoxia suffer and suffer along the way. ”

"Well, shopkeeper Dong, my junior brother will ask you." Song Yuanqiao nodded seriously, and bowed to the shopkeeper Dong, which flattered the other party, and hurriedly dodged and said that he didn't dare.

After a moment of politeness, it was time for the convoy to start. Meng Xiuyuan got into a carriage specially set aside for him and waved goodbye to Song Yuanqiao with a smile.

Until the convoy gradually moved away, he saw Song Yuanqiao suddenly take out a long sword from behind his back and throw it towards Meng Xiuyuan.

This scene startled the people in the convoy, but Meng Xiuyuan could feel that Song Yuanqiao's throwing force was just right, and he easily and naturally took the sword in his hand.

took a fixed look, but found that this was actually the real martial sword of Master Zhang Zhenren in his hand.

"Master asked me to tell you that when you are away from home, your own safety is the most important thing.

Draw your sword when it's time to draw it, and kill it when it's time to kill it, and don't be burdened with it!

He used this sword to kill many wicked people when he was a teenager, and now he gives it to you to protect himself, don't refuse. ”

Song Yuanqiaoyun made Nei Li shout at Meng Xiuyuan, and without giving him a chance to answer, he turned around and flew away.

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought that the master really saw through his heart.

Silent in his heart, the true martial sword in his hand was also three points heavier.

……

Traveling with this large convoy of merchants, it is natural to walk very slowly. Even if the road is smooth and there are no accidents, it will take at most forty or fifty miles a day.

Fortunately, although slow, Meng Xiuyuan's life in this convoy was quite comfortable.

Shopkeeper Dong did not go against what he said to Song Yuanqiao, and really took good care of Meng Xiuyuan, almost like a young master.

When hungry someone brings food, when thirsty someone brings water, every time the accommodation will be the best place for Meng Xiuyuan, and when Meng Xiuyuan is in a hurry during the day, he only needs to meditate and practice in his carriage, and no one will come to disturb him.

The reason why Meng Xiuyuan can have such a favorable treatment is because the face of the Wudang faction and Song Yuanqiao is really effective, so that the shopkeeper Dong does not dare to slack off.

The second reason is that their merchant convoy is indeed in need of escort forces.

After all, this road will definitely not be peaceful all the time, with a Wudang disciple like Meng Xiuyuan in charge, not to mention anything else, at least the reputation can accommodate many young people.

When eating and resting along the way, the shopkeeper Dong would often come up and get close to Meng Xiuyuan, and ask Meng Xiuyuan side-by-side what his martial arts were and what kind of level he was in the Wudang faction.

Although Meng Xiuyuan just smiled and didn't speak every time, his confident appearance was enough to make Shopkeeper Dong feel at ease.

Sure enough, the subsequent journey has repeatedly proved how correct it is for the shopkeeper Dong to take Meng Xiu away this way.

As the merchant convoy traveled westward, in order to pursue convenient travel and reduce costs, it had to choose to deviate from the official road and pass through some relatively remote mountain roads instead.

As a result, there are many dangers on the way.

Wild boars, jackals, and other common beasts are okay, and the guards of the merchant gang themselves can easily deal with them. But those black bears, tigers and leopards that I occasionally encounter are fierce and abnormal, if there is no Meng Xiuyuan to help, at least someone in the Shang Gang will definitely be injured.

And even more dangerous than these beasts are people.

During the two-thousand-mile journey, it is naturally indispensable to encounter some so-called "green forest heroes" who block the road and rob and do business without capital.

For this kind of person, Meng Xiuyuan is very disgusted. If he had run into them on his own journey, he would have taught them a lesson.

However, the Shang Gang has been walking this road all year round, so they naturally have their way of survival. Most of the robbers and merchants knew each other, and it could even be said that they had some friendships, so they offered some money according to the rules, and they were safely released, avoiding a lot of fighting.

Meng Xiuyuan naturally couldn't let this merchant gang make enemies, ruin their reputation, and cut off their financial routes because of his momentary likes and dislikes, so he simply went with the flow, hiding in the carriage out of sight and out of mind.

But when he walked into a valley near Shuangfeng Town, Baihe County, there was an accident.

A group of dozens of thieves surrounded the entire convoy and forced the merchant gang to leave all the goods and money on them before they were willing to let everyone leave.

When the shopkeeper Dong saw that this gang of thieves was born, he took the initiative to send some money, wanting to get through the relationship and persuade the other party to earn a long-term income as he did in the past.

Unexpectedly, the Qian family collected it simply, but before he could say a word, the shopkeeper Dong was slapped to the ground.

"Fuck, I don't know. Seeing that you are all grizzled gentlemen, I let you live, why do you still kick your nose in the face?

If you want to leave, if you want to leave, you will not let you go, you have to stay for the master to put out the fire.

Get out of here! Master Luo, I rarely have a kind heart, but before I changed it, I had already chopped you all to make steamed bun filling. ”

When this person speaks, his words are fierce, his voice is deep, although he can hear that he has no internal cultivation, but his qi and blood are still very vigorous, and he obviously has some foreign kung fu on his body.

Even so, after all, Shopkeeper Dong had seen people in the world, and he still forcibly chatted with the bandit leader with his swollen face, taking this opportunity to find out the details of the other party.

During this period, Meng Xiuyuan in the carriage finally understood the origin of this group of people.

It turned out that these dozens of people were actually a group of deserters, and they had participated in the battle with the Mingjiao anti-thieves half a year ago, and it was precisely because the troops were defeated in that battle and lost contact with the large army that they simply became bandits here and lived a happy life.

The words revealed that this group of people had vicious methods, but they didn't want to fight hard because they didn't want to fight hard because they saw the large number of people in the merchant gang, for fear of damaging their strength.

If you encounter a lone pedestrian or a small caravan, the kung fu people have already been killed by this time.

Even in order to threaten and intimidate the shopkeeper Dong, they also told how they robbed the nearby wealthy Liu family a few days ago, and described it in great detail:

"Then Old Man Liu, you are really as stubborn as you.

We all said that as long as we hand over the family's money and food, we will spare their whole family's life.

But who knows, he wanted to oppose us, not only closed the gate and didn't let us in, but also let the guards do it with us, killing four of my good brothers.

Do you know how I repay him in the end?

I tied him to the post at the front door of his house and let him watch us play with his four wives to death, and then his three daughters on his wives.

Haha, at that time, the old man Liu's eyes were about to pop out.

I was still not satisfied, so I boiled a pot of hot water and ...... his little son."

As the bandit leader said this, he suddenly stopped, and then lowered his head in disbelief, and found that there was a bowl-sized hole in his chest at some point, and blood was gushing out.

And Meng Xiuyuan didn't know when he walked out of the carriage, holding the true martial sword in his hand.

……

That day, Meng Xiuyuan's sword did not have a drop of blood on these bandits, because he felt that his master's sword should not touch such a dirty thing.

Of course, none of these thieves could stand and leave, because Meng Xiuyuan felt that they really didn't deserve to live.

Since that day, the entire merchant team has been really convinced by Meng Xiuyuan, and it has changed from the original preferential treatment out of form to sincere respect.

One man and one sword, just stand on the spot and swing it a few times, and the enemy will fall one by one as if they were being cut wheat.

With such an otherworldly sword qi, He Taichong and Kong Wen were shocked when they saw it, not to mention these merchants who had not been in contact with the core circle of martial arts.

The sensible people in the convoy just said that Meng Xiuyuan was a peerless martial arts hero, and those who were a little superstitious began to privately spread which immortal Meng Xiuyuan was reincarnated.

So the next road with Meng Xiuyuan can be said to be the most comfortable business trip that this group of merchants have ever run in this life, with a full sense of security, and they don't have to worry about it every day, thinking about what dangers they will encounter next.

Until the end of the journey was finally reached after a long journey, the entire convoy was still immersed in this atmosphere and did not want to be separated from Meng Xiuyuan.

The shopkeeper Dong asked Meng Xiuyuan several times, asking him how many days he was going to stay on Mount Emei, saying that he could let the team take the initiative to cooperate with Meng Xiuyuan's time, and then go back together when he returned.

But every time Meng Xiuyuan simply refused, and finally asked the shopkeeper Dong to bring back his inconvenient luggage.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Dong did not force it.

Because since the day he passed through Shuangfeng Town, every time he encountered a group of robbers in the future, Meng Xiuyuan would ask the shopkeeper Dong in detail about the details, including how many evils he had done, whether he had killed anyone, whether he had bullied women from good families, etc., which could be described as tireless.

And every time he asks clearly, Meng Xiuyuan will record these situations in detail with paper and pen and collect them personally.

Now Meng Xiuyuan said that he didn't want to go with their convoy, but was ready to walk back alone.

The intentions are naturally clear at a glance.
