For the next month, the caravan continued south.

The only people who know the truth are Su Muci and Yu Zhi.

That night, Yu Zhi told Su Muci that he would go all the way to Nanzhou Mansion until he got the remaining thirty taels of silver.

Su Muci put down the stone in her heart, if Yu Zhi stopped, she wouldn't do it. Su Muci couldn't take it, and Yu didn't know how to do it. But the caravan's next road is full of dangers, if the killer appears again, Su Muci will inevitably die.

After the battle of the fog ghost, everyone was a little more in awe of Yu Zhi, even San'er, who had always looked down on Yu Zhi, avoided Yu Zhi.

To this day, the people of the caravan do not know who is behind the white mist.

And what they knew was that if it weren't for this lazy boy, the entire caravan would have died in that strange white fog.

As for the fog ghost, Yu Zhi kept his promise and spared the fog ghost's life. Yu Zhi abolished his cultivation and threw him in the mountains, just to see if the beasts in the mountains were picky eaters.

In this way, another ten days passed, and the caravan was getting closer and closer to the Nanzhou capital, and in a few days the caravan would be able to get out of this wilderness and enter the nearby city.

This also gave hope to the people in the caravan. If it hadn't been for that fog, everyone wouldn't have been so afraid. Now that many people have died, fear has taken root in their hearts.

The only one who is at ease is Yu Zhi. He continued to cultivate, and when he stepped into the Seven Grades of the Open Monument, he also entered another level - seeking the Great Dao.

Ye Qinghuan had already mastered the rudiments of sword intent before he stepped into the open monument, and Yu Zhi still didn't have any understanding.

Say it's not in a hurry, this must be fake. Now what Yu Zhi needs most is cultivation.

Yu Zhi has always been practicing, and the focus is also on the inheritance of the armor left by Yun Jin.

"Instant Star" has 3,000 stars, Yu Zhi has been able to catch half of the stars, and it is already difficult to advance an inch further up. Yu Zhi knew that this was the limit of what could be achieved in the current realm.

Therefore, Yu Zhi planned to start practicing the second martial art of the Three Thousand Stars - "The Great Wilderness Starfall".

At night, Zhou Hu took another person to watch the night, and after the caravan, there were two more people guarding. In the wilderness, no one dares to take it lightly.

Yu Zhi sat by the campfire and looked into the depths of the night. Along the way, the sense of oppression in the dark still did not dissipate.

As Yu Zhi expected, the deserted villages in the wilderness had nothing to do with the fog ghosts.

Killers are the most cautious, and if they can not show up, they like to hide in the shadows and kill people. One more time to show up will bring you a little more danger.

Now Yu Zhi was more sure of his feelings, the aura hidden in the white mist, following the caravan, had been peeking at them. The other party seemed to be afraid and did not dare to rashly launch an offensive.

Yu Zhi wondered what this non-human breath was. The other party doesn't look like a beast, because even a beast that has become a spirit doesn't have such a powerful aura.

Or are the people in those villages all lost by the other side?

If so, how?

Zhou Hu followed Yu Zhi's gaze and couldn't see anything abnormal. He asked curiously, "What is Brother Li looking at?" ”

Yu Zhi came back to his senses, held a branch in his hand, and stirred the bonfire. He opened his mouth and said: "Brother Zhou often walks this road, and knows that there should be many families living in the previous villages. But why didn't you see a single figure this time? ”

Zhou Hu was stunned, and he kept wondering about it. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I have also been thinking about this all the time, and I feel strange in my heart, but I don't dare to say it, so as not to make people panic." ”

Yu Zhi nodded, Zhou Hu is experienced after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some turmoil as soon as the rumors spread.

"I took a closer look and saw that there were some clothes and grain hanging outside the house, which would not be left behind if the village was moved. The only possibility is that the entire village has been evacuated along with them. ”

Zhou Hu thought about it carefully, and was extremely frightened, a village has dozens of families and hundreds of people. Walking around the wilderness is a big goal, but there are no signs of mass migration along the way.

Besides, there are thousands of people in the nearby villages, how can they keep silent and let these people disappear?

Yu Zhi muttered, "What happened in these villages? ”

Zhou Hu looked at Yu Zhi, who was thinking seriously, took a sip of wine, and said, "Brother Li, there are some things that you should not worry too much about, so as not to attract some unnecessary dangers. ”

Yu Zhi was stunned, and then looked at Zhou Hu, and his eyes flashed with strange colors.

Zhou Hu said: "Think of a little person like me, the realm is low, and the status is low. Doing this business with your head pinned to your trouser belt is just to beg for a bite to eat. I've been in this business for more than ten years, and I've seen too many bones on this road. No one cared how they died, and if the bones were buried, it would be good enough. ”

"There was once a brother who saw several corpses hanging from a tree, and thought that he would bury them alive. As a result, he was approached by those people's enemies, and his hands were cut off alive. Later, I learned that the bodies were all robbers, and the families of those people were raped and killed by the robbers. ”

"In short, don't be nosy when you're out and about."

Yu Zhi understands that this world is not so peaceful. In Kyoto, the wind and clouds are treacherous, and the swords and swords are shadowed in the wilderness. As Zhou Hu said, don't be nosy.

Zhou Hu couldn't guess Yu Zhi's identity, but he could also know that this young man was not really like them.

Only these ignorant teenagers will be full of curiosity about the strangeness of the world.

As everyone knows, when you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

Yu Zhi smiled and said, "But now, this is no longer an idle matter. ”

Zhou Hu looked at Yu Zhi in surprise, not knowing why.

I only heard Yu Zhi explain: "Since I passed by those villages, I found that something was peeping at us, and this thing has not left until now. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Hu's back was cold, and he looked into the depths of the night full of jealousy and fear.

San'er glanced left and right, leaned towards the fire, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't scare people, you kid." If this thing keeps peeping at us, why hasn't the rest of us found out? ”

Yu Zhi spread his hands and said disdainfully: "Because your realm is low and your strength is weak." ”

San'er was scolded by Yu Zhi, and the anger also came up. "Tell me, how high are you?"

Yu Zhi stretched out his hand, drew some distance with his fingers, and said, "It's just a shame to be so tall than you." No matter what, it's better than you. ”

San'er still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Hu with a look. Zhou Hu was an understanding person and asked, "Brother Li, there is something you said is peeping at us." Could it be that this thing is not a person? ”

"It's not good, I don't feel the breath of a human in it."

"Maybe it's a beast." Zhou Hu prayed in his heart, if it was a beast, it would be easy to solve.

Yu Zhi groaned and shook his head. "Beasts don't have such a powerful aura, and even if they become spirits, they won't follow us for so long."

Zhou Hu looked into the depths of the night again, he couldn't perceive it, which showed that the strength of this thing was above him.

Yu Zhi saw the nervous looks of the two and comforted: "Don't worry too much. I think that thing is also hesitant to go on the offensive like us. Maybe we'll have a safe journey. ”

"If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." Zhou Hu smiled bitterly, "We are worried every day, and we are not happy. Brother Li, since you can perceive it, can you just get rid of it? ”

Yu Zhi also looked into the depths of the night, as if he saw a blood-red eye staring at him.

"I tried, but it escaped quickly, and it was good at stealing its breath, and it couldn't track him down for a while."

Zhou Hu had no choice but to say: "It's better not to entangle us with this ghost thing, otherwise, if you die, you will let it have less meat." ”

......

In the Qiu Mansion, Qiu Ruoruo looked sad, because after Li Wantong left a letter, she quietly left Kyoto.

The letter said that she was going to Nanzhou Mansion to find Yu Zhi, and even if she died, she would die together.

Well, it's a lot of love.

But I might as well bring some guards, if something happens on the way, how can I explain to Brother Xiaoyu?

Many days have passed, and no whereabouts of Li Wantong have been found from the information sent by Liuying. This made Qiu Ruoruo even more worried.

Li Qingru drank tea calmly, she always looked like she was not surprised.

"If so, Wantong will not be in danger. You can rest assured. ”

Qiu Ruoruo looked at Li Qingru, and instantly felt a lot more settled in her heart. She didn't know what Li Qingru had to do, but Li Qingru said that if there was no danger, there was no danger.

Qiu Ruoruo asked curiously: "Auntie, I knew that Sister Li would leave Kyoto to find Brother Xiaoyu." ”

Li Qingru shook his head honestly. "I never imagined that this child would be so brave and leave Kyoto alone. The road to the south was not easy, especially since she was alone. ”

"Then does my aunt have someone to protect Sister Li?" Qiu Ruoruo asked.

Li Qingru smiled and said nothing, but this also answered Qiu Ruoruo's question.

It is true that Li Qingru watched Li Wantong walk out of the Autumn Mansion, she was not at ease, and she promised Yu Zhi that she would protect Li Wantong.

Li Qingru put down the teacup and asked, "Do you really plan to stay in Dali Temple?" ”

A few days ago, Qiu Ruoruo had entered Dali Temple, which was also the first woman in history to enter and leave Dali Temple in addition to those female prisoners.

Qiu Ruoruo nodded and said, "Lord Han wanted to take me as an apprentice, but I didn't agree." However, Lord Han is currently investigating the case of Youquan Villa, and I am very interested, and I may be able to extract a few teeth from the Chu Palace. ”

Li Qingru was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to say: "That place is too gloomy after all." If you stay for a long time, it may not be good. Han Ying was a lonely minister and a madman, and the people in the court did not want to make friends with him. I'm afraid you'll get stuck in the mud. ”

Qiu Ruoruo is the only daughter of the Qiu family, and her status is noble, and she should be as leisurely as those noble girls in Kyoto. Today's work is also for Yu Zhi.

"I understand what my aunt said." Qiu Ruoruo smiled lightly, as if she felt that these were not big deals. "But listening to Brother Xiaoyu being so pitiful, I always want to do something for her."

Li Qingru looked at Qiu Ruoruo, and there was a little lament in her heart.
