Chapter 89: The Place of Interception
Yue Qingyao was a little reluctant, after all, it was the place where she grew up, and it seemed that it was suddenly gone, and it was not a good feeling in her heart.
Wu Qinglian also had reluctance, but after all, she was a person who came over, so she could see more openly, gently patted the back of Yue Qingyao's hand, and said softly: "Let's go, people always have to look forward, go forward, don't think too much about the past."
There are no horses and carriages to travel, and there are a few ordinary maids and servants, the speed of the group is not fast, and it is close to evening before walking out forty or fifty kilometers, and returning to Fengyang City at such a speed, it will take a day or two to say the least.
On both sides of the official road were large and small trees, because they were worried about encountering wild beasts and the like, more than a dozen people stopped to rest on the side of a relatively spacious official road, preparing to spend the night.
Everyone ate some pastries and snacks, it was dark, Yue Qingyao had already helped her mother Wu Qinglian to replace the herbs, and several wounds were almost healed by now, but it was still not suitable for strenuous exercise.
Helping her mother Wu Qinglian to lie on a relatively flat grass, Yue Qingyao came to Yunlin's side, and looked at the night, the large and small trees on both sides of the official road were faintly enough, and the sharp sound that the wind blew through the trees made people couldn't help but be a little scared.
Yun Lin and his father-in-law Yue Wantian and Wu Shan said that the three of them would take turns to keep vigil in case any accidents happened, so that they could wake everyone up as soon as possible.
Three people for three time periods, Yun Lin Shou for the second time period, found a place to lie down quickly, and was about to lie down to rest and cultivate at the same time.
But he saw Yue Qingyao coming over, looking at the forest trees that were faint in the night, making people afraid and afraid, and sat next to Yunlin and said: "At this speed, I'm afraid it will take at least a day or two to return to Fengyang City, I hope there won't be any more accidents."
Yun Lin sat up straight again, nodded and said: "There are no horses and carriages to travel, my mother-in-law is injured again, and Xiaoyu They are all ordinary people, and they do walk slowly, but don't worry, I said to my father-in-law and Wu Shan, the three of them will be awake and keep vigil in three time periods, you don't have to worry, just go back to practice or rest with peace of mind."
Yun Lin continued: "Maybe after we go back, the assessment of the Xuanjian Mountain Gate to recruit disciples will begin, you have to hurry up, you don't have to worry about it too much."
Yue Qingyao glanced at Yunlin, indeed, she was a little worried about the safety of the night, unexpectedly, Yunlin and they had already thought of it, now they are relieved, their faces are much lighter, and they nodded and said: "Okay, the three of you will work hard that night, which time point do you keep, remember to wear more clothes, this barren mountain and wild mountains, the night breeze is cooler."
Yun Lin said: "I have a midnight vigil, don't worry, you can go and rest and cultivate."
Waiting for Yue Qingyao to leave, Yun Lin lay on the flat ground he chose, closed his eyes, his mind gradually immersed, and in the sword soul space, he continued to practice the martial arts method that Wu Shan taught him to exercise his physique, and at the same time, he used his heart and soul for two purposes, running the sword technique and transforming the sword qi.
Now Yunlin, practice makes perfect, sword cultivation and martial arts cultivation can be carried out at the same time, and the two are not delayed, at the beginning, there was still a little lack of spare energy, but now, it seems very relaxed.
The group was afraid of attracting the attention of the beasts in the forest, so they did not light the fire, only the bright moonlight sprinkled and the stars in the sky were dotted, but it did not appear too dark.
In the middle of the night before the moon is full, Yunlin is in the middle, and Wu Shan is the last.
The sound of wild beasts from time to time in the forest at night, and the shrill whistling sound of the night wind blowing through the trees, other than that, everything was normal.
Yun Lin was immersed in his mind, and soon fell into a state of forgetfulness, until a slight sound of footsteps came, Yun Lin opened his eyes, and by the bright moonlight, the moon was full of sky.
Yun Lin knew that it was time, so he could only withdraw from the sword soul space and start the vigil, everything was also normal, and finally it was Lao Wu's turn, Yun Lin continued to immerse himself and continue to cultivate.
The night was uneventful.
In the early morning, everyone woke up one after another, and after eating some snacks and pastries, they set off for Fengyang City.
The official road is still dilapidated, has not been repaired, and pedestrians on the road can't see a few, during the period, I met a team of cavalry in official uniforms, but it seems that there is official business, and Yunlin They hurried by.
At noon, everyone stopped, rested again, and ate snacks and pastries before continuing to set off.
In the evening, the group came to the place where they had met the barbarians and Su Ji who had been intercepted halfway, Wu Shan stopped, looked at the shocking and broken official road, and said to Yue Mantian: "Master Yue, this is the place where I told you before, when the three of us came here, we were intercepted and killed."
Yun Lin nodded beside him and said: "Not far ahead, it is where a team of barracks in Fengyang City is located, we were rescued by those officers and soldiers, and the wounds raised on the top of the barracks mountain, we will go up and see later, if those barracks are still there, we don't have to sleep on the official road tonight."
Moon Mantian and Wu Qinglian looked at the shocking and broken official road, and their hearts were extremely shocked, and they couldn't imagine how fierce the situation was at that time.
For a while, I didn't know what to say.
At that time, Yunlin and the others just said lightly, when they encountered an interception on the road, all three of them were injured, but they didn't expect that the tragedy of the interception would be so intense.
The maid Xiaoyu and a few maid servants and the hunchbacked old man Uncle Song were also shocked in their hearts, it turned out that this was the master of the fairy characters, and the degree of destruction was unimaginable, even if it was just to look at it now, it seemed that there was a fierce aura rushing to the face, which made everyone speechless with shock.
The maid Xiaoyu tugged Yue Qingyao's hand with a frightened face, and her voice was not good: "Miss, the masters you have encountered are too terrifying, look at these grounds, how much strength is needed, it's just terrifying!"
Yue Qingyao also squinted and smiled, nodded and said: "At that time, I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to live, but now that I think about it, I am indeed a little afraid."
After the place where they were intercepted and killed, several people followed their memories and walked up the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and soon saw several tent barracks on the top of the mountain.
Yun Lin frowned, there was no trace of a fight near the tent, could it be that the officers and soldiers Xiao Xia and they were withdrawn?
Yue Qingyao said, "Nothing should happen, right?"
Yun Lin shook his head, and was about to say something, when he saw an old man walking out of the tent, an old man wearing an old official uniform with a wrinkled face, who looked like he should be a marching veteran, and his temples were gray, but the spirit of the whole person was still very good, and he still had the strength that ordinary old people did not have.
Last time, staying in the barracks, Yun Lin and Yue Qingyao didn't have an impression of this old man, they just glanced at Wu Shan, Wu Shan also shook his head, obviously he also had no impression of this old man, that is, he had just been transferred.
It should be an old man who is a marching veteran, and when he saw that he had climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the barracks, it seemed that they were dragging their children and daughters on a full moon day, and frowned.
It stands to reason that the mountain road up the mountain is hidden and cannot be found by ordinary people, which is also for the safety of the barracks.
The old man in the old official uniform blocked the road and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, this is a place where the barracks are stationed, not a place for tours, and I hope you will stop here and don't come forward again."
The moon was full and stopped, Wu Shan had already clasped his fists and said: "In Xia Wu Mountain, accompany the young master and Miss out to practice, see that it is dark, and hope to have a place to rest and rest, and will never disturb the order of the barracks."
The old man in the old official uniform frowned and said, "Did you hit it by mistake, or do you know the mountain path of this barracks?"
Yue Qingyao had to take a step forward, looked at the old man and explained: "Old uncle, we have no malicious intentions, we didn't know by mistake, does the old uncle know a young soldier, and there is a middle-aged chief who calls him Xiao Xia?"
The old man was even more puzzled, and looked at Yue Qingyao: "How do you know Xiao Xia, could it be that you have been here?"
Yue Qingyao nodded, glanced at Wu Shan, who had straightened up, and Yun Lin next to him, and said: "The three of us, who were intercepted and killed on the official road below, were intercepted and killed before, and it was Xiao Xia, the officer and soldier who patrolled the official road at that time, who saved us, and we were still on the top of this mountain, recuperating for three or four days."
Lao Wu, who was wearing an old official uniform, nodded suddenly: "You are the group of people who gave a lot of herbs, Xiao Xia and they have been transferred back to Fengyang City, just this morning, if you come early, you can see them."
Yue Qingyao had some pity on her face, and then asked, "Did something happen in Fengyang City?" We were also preparing to go back, but we couldn't make it to today. ”
Lao Wu, who was wearing an old official uniform, glanced at Yue Qingyao: "I heard that the assessment of Xuanjian Mountain Gate is about to start, and the cultivation geniuses from all over the country have already gone to Fengyang City, and there will inevitably be incidents, the day before yesterday, in a restaurant, there was an incident of cultivators' revenge and group beating, injuring no less than 100 ordinary innocent people, and the restaurant was destroyed, and the government had to order that it was not allowed to fight privately in Fengyang City, injuring innocent people, otherwise they would be driven out of the city, Xiao Xia and they should go back to help maintain order in Fengyang City."
Yun Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but wondered, "Will anyone listen to orders?" If you don't listen, Xiao Xia and they are ordinary people, can they stop it? ”
Lao Wu glanced at Yun Lin, who suddenly spoke, and stood with Yue Qingyao, who was extremely delicate, he looked handsome, but he was a bit idiot when he spoke: "Cultivators with arrogant hearts will naturally not listen, but after all, they are in Fengyang City, and Xiao Xia still has a certain deterrent when they speak."
