Xu Ping found the principal of the caravan and offered him five taels of silver before the other party promised him to follow behind the caravan.

"For your honest sake, I promised to let you follow, but don't be lazy along the way, have a little eyesight, and reach out to help when it's time to help!"

"Steward Zhang, I remember!"

Seeing Xu Ping's excited face, he took the initiative to run to the back of the caravan to help, Steward Zhang checked the silver in his hand, thinking that these came out of the harvest is good, and soon after he came out of Qinan County, he met a wronged man, and took the initiative to give him five taels of silver, hoping to meet a few more in the next few days.

Xu Ping helped push the cart in the back, and met a dart guy named Ma Yourong, and learned from his mouth that this time the dart was Yongxing Dart Bureau, one of the three major dart games in Baishui City, and was entrusted by the Cao family in Qinan County to escort a batch of medicinal materials to Baishui City.

"You hit the luck, you just happened to meet our Yongxing Dart Bureau, which can ensure that you arrive in Baishui City safely all the way."

Xu Ping pretended to be listening, curious why the guys from Yongxing Dart Bureau dared to say this?

"Yongxing Dart Bureau was founded when there were twelve dart heads, the power from Jinzhou to Dongshan, across the four provinces, both sides of the Heihe River are the world of Yongxing Dart Bureau, the big dart head iron-backed dragon Xiong Canghai and the three dart head magic camel dragon Xie Changgeng, is the two major leaders of the Yongxing Dart Bureau, are the grandmaster masters of the four seas."

Xu Ping raised his head and looked around, and then asked, "Are the big dart heads and the three dart heads here today?" ”

"Haha, where do you need a big dart head and a three dart head to shoot in person, the current dart is Xiong Jianming, the young dart head, he is the youngest master of the Yongxing Dart Bureau."

Xu Ping followed the direction of Ma Yourong's finger and saw that there was a heroic young man sitting on the carriage at the front of the caravan, about twenty years old, who seemed to be just a master of the transformation realm, similar to the strength of Yao Guangxia of the Wild Wolf Gang.

"The young dart head is a first-class master, after the dart goes back this time, the big dart head will send him to the Qingyun Sect to practice martial arts."

"Qingyun Sect?" Xu Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is Qingyun Sect a martial arts sect or an immortal cultivation sect?" ”

"Martial Arts Sect!" Ma Yourong looked at Xu Ping in surprise, as if he was looking at an idiot, but he was thinking in his heart, no matter how good the qualifications of Shao Dart Head to practice martial arts are, without spiritual roots, he is destined to be just a mortal, how can he worship the Immortal Cultivation Sect?

"I'm sorry, I said it wrong!" Seeing Ma Yourong's surprised look, Xu Ping immediately realized that he had said something wrong.

"You haven't been far away, you don't understand the difference between the martial arts sect and the immortal cultivation sect, the Qingyun Sect and the Qingling Sect seem to be similar, but the difference between the two is very big, the Qingling Sect is a sect of cultivating immortals, and it is a place where immortals live, while Qingyun Sect is just a martial arts sect, or a branch of the Earth Spirit Sect in the local area."

"Brother Ma, the younger brother has been taught!" Xu Ping hugged his fist at Ma Yourong and thanked him, but he immediately asked another question: "Brother Ma, have you heard of Aoyue Palace?" ”

"Aoyue Palace? Haven't heard of it! Ma Yourong shook his head.

Xu Ping sighed after hearing this, he had seen this situation a lot, so he didn't show any particular disappointment.

Ma Yourong asked, "What are you looking for Aoyue Palace?" ”

Xu Ping sighed and said: "My sister was taken away by the people of Aoyue Palace since she was a child, and she hasn't come back for a long time, and my family is very worried. ”

Ma Yourong asked curiously, "Didn't the person who took away the house-sister tell your family, what kind of sect is Aoyue Palace?" ”

"Nope! The family only knows the name of Aoyue Palace! ”

Ma Yourong comforted: "Don't be too disappointed, wait until you arrive in Baishui City to inquire, as long as this Aoyue Palace is still there, there is nothing that you can't inquire about in Baishui City." ”

"I hope so!" Xu Ping nodded.

As he spoke, the caravan had already marched forward for more than ten miles, and it was almost at its final destination tonight, Changling Town.

When the caravan turned into the fork in the road and was already close to the entrance of the town, there was still no one coming out to greet him, and Ma Yourong said in surprise: "It's really strange, there is no movement in the town today, is it possible that the people in Changling Town are not ready to do business?" ”

Not only Ma Yourong noticed the strangeness of Changling Town, but the rest of the dart bureau saw it, and with the gesture of Xiong Jianming, the young dart head of the Yongxing Dart Bureau, the entire caravan stopped.

Steward Zhang leaned out of the carriage and asked, "What's going on up ahead?" Why stop? ”

Someone came over to inform Steward Zhang: "Steward Zhang, Changling Town is a little weird, and the young dart head has already sent someone to investigate!" ”

"I've only walked a hundred and ten miles today, and I haven't even walked out of the territory of Qinan County, what else can happen?" Steward Zhang got down from the carriage, intending to find the young dart head to theorize.

No one paid attention to him, and everyone in the dart board stood at the front of the caravan, staring in the direction of the town.

After a while, the people who had gone to Changling Town to explore the way returned.

"Shaodart, something happened in Changling Town, all the residents died, and the streets were full of corpses......"

"Can you tell who did it?"

"Judging from the scars on the corpse, it wasn't killed by someone, it seems to have been bitten to death by some monster!"

"Biting to death? Monster? ”

The faces of everyone present changed color after hearing this, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes full of fear.

Even the arrogant Steward Zhang was so frightened that his body trembled for a while, if there was no one behind him to support him, it is estimated that he would have collapsed to the ground at this time, only to see him trembling and asking: "Young darthead, what should I do...... What should we do? ”

The young dart head pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's go immediately, and try to get to the next town as soon as possible before dark!" ”

After the young dart head finished speaking, everyone in the caravan began to act, jumped into the carriage, twitched the horsewhip vigorously, drove the carriage forward quickly, and left this place of right and wrong.

The nearest town was still more than twenty or thirty miles away from Changling Town, and the caravan and his party hurried slowly, and when they were halfway there, the sky changed suddenly, and it rained heavily.

"Less dart, you can't go any more, it's raining too much!"

After hearing this, the young dart head frowned tightly and asked, "Where have we been now?" ”

"I can't see it in front, it looks like I've arrived at Phoenix Slope!"

"Phoenix Slope? I remember that there is a land temple in Fenghuangpo, send someone to explore the way, let's go to the land temple to rest for a while! ”

At this time, night fell, the sky was still raining heavily, the road became muddy, it was very difficult to walk, everyone was exhausted and hungry, but they had to cheer up, pull and drag, drive the carriage, and finally reached the Land Temple.

The land temple resembles a courtyard house, but most of the walls are about to collapse, only the building in the middle is still intact, there is a stone statue in the room, there is an incense burner in front of the stone statue, and in addition to this, there are some offerings on the board.

It's just that these offerings have been around for some years, and they have long since rotted and deteriorated, changed color, and are covered with black spots.
