Chapter 48: Rushing to the Mountain
"Beigui, are you going to study in Liangcheng Mansion?" A well-off girl looked at Ji Chen curiously and asked.
The girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she reveals the boldness of a desolate person.
Ji Chen was dressed in a brocade shirt and a green shirt, with a long strip of utensils wrapped in strips of cloth stuck around his waist.
This is the normal dress of a scholar.
The utensils on her waist are naturally regarded as swords by girls, but there are few like Ji Chen, who stick a sword on her waist.
Although Ji Chen also has a lofty spaciousness of the border wilderness, his outfit and temperament are incompatible with this side of the wilderness and this caravan.
The black flag official robe of the Demon Town Division was worn by Ji Chen inside, one of which was that the official robe of the Demon Town Division had a defensive effect, and ordinary swords were difficult to hurt, and the other was that he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Demon Suppression Division is definitely a taboo existence.
Facing the girl's curious question, Ji Chen replied casually: "Reading, sort of!" ”
It was already the sixth day since he came out of Fenglin Town, and Ji Chen came across this caravan, which happened to be the caravan of the Chenjia Chamber of Commerce in Liangcheng Mansion.
The Chenjia Chamber of Commerce is also the largest chamber of commerce in Liangcheng Prefecture, and the chamber of commerce often has some teams to travel through the wasteland and do some trade with the wasteland snow clan.
This kind of caravan is generally accompanied by a master, and many people who go to the caravan can pay some fees to the caravan and apply to go with the caravan, since they are protected, they will not be alone.
Especially when you stay overnight, you can also guard against demon attacks when there are many people.
For caravans, the merging of the Runner Gang into it can also increase additional income.
The team of this caravan was relatively large, there were forty or fifty people, and Ji Chen paid two taels of silver to the caravan and got the opportunity to accompany him.
Well, the main reason is that he doesn't know the way.
The people in the caravan only regarded Ji Chen as a student who went to Liangcheng to study, after all, the New Year had passed, and the students had ushered in the beginning of the school season.
At this moment, the caravan is resting, and the guards are making a fire.
Ji Chen also sat next to a bonfire to rest, eating the broth given by the guards.
"If only I could read too!" The girl looked envious.
Her name is Lu Xiaoyu, and she has followed her father and brother to live in the wilderness since she was a child, traveling between the wasteland and Liangcheng, so she is very envious of reading.
"Humph! There is a fart, useless is a scholar! A discordant voice rang out next to him.
It was Lu Xiaoyu's brother who spoke, named Lu Meng, who was very unhappy when he saw his sister being seduced by a little white face.
Ever since this little white face came to the team, his sister had been circling around him for three days, and he felt that his sister's elbow was starting to turn outward.
"Vulgar Takeo!" Lu Xiaoyu replied directly to his brother.
In her opinion, her brother and father are vulgar martial artists, who know how to fight all day long, and if she messes with them again, she will become a tomboy.
Lu Xiaoyu pointed to the broken army horizontal knife on Ji Chen's waist, and said curiously: "Is this a sword?" ”
Ji Chen nodded, and didn't bother to explain, basically most people would recognize it as a sword when they saw it for the first time.
"You can use a sword?" Lu Xiaoyu was even more curious, she could only use knives, and she still followed her father to learn the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique.
Ji Chen said: "Scholars fight swords, this is a compulsory course. ”
"Wow! ……! Lu Xiaoyu's face was full of envy.
"It's just a sword dance with bells and whistles!" Lu Meng said coldly.
Dancing a sword and using a sword are fundamentally different things, in his opinion, Ji Chen holding a sword is used for decoration, aren't scholars like this.
"Xiaoyu, you come with me, I have something to tell you."
Lu Meng pulled up the light rain and walked to the side.
"What for?"
Xiaoyu struggled for a while, but didn't break it down, so she dragged it away with her brother.
After walking a hundred meters away, Lu Meng put down Xiaoyu's hand and said in a deep voice: "That scholar named Ji Beigui, don't get too close to him, you are not suitable?" ”
"Why, don't worry about my business!"
The children who grew up in the border wilderness have a wild temperament and have their own personalities, Lu Xiaoyu has followed her father and brother to run a business house since she was a child, and her personality is very extroverted, she also told her father and brother very early on that she must choose her own life's major events, and her father and brother must not interfere.
Her father and brother also promised her, which can be regarded as making up for her guilt.
Lu Meng continued to persuade: "Look at his clothes, a set of clothes will cover our living expenses for two months, he is a son of a wealthy family, the son of a wealthy family does not have a good thing, you and he are not people of the same world, have you forgotten how your mother disappeared?" ”
This time, Lu Xiaoyu didn't refute Lu Meng, she glanced towards the place where Ji Chen was.
"Don't you think he's good-looking?"
Lu Meng: ???
I co-authored it for a long time, but it was in vain!
The conversation between the two was heard word by word by Ji Chen, and there was no difference between one meter and a hundred meters for Ji Chen.
After resting, the convoy continued to set off, and two hours later, when it passed a fork in the road, it suddenly stopped.
There were a few fierce men in front of them, driving a group of ragged people towards the mountains.
The team stopped, ready to let the group pass first.
"Why did it stop?" Ji Chen asked.
"If you encounter a god and an immortal envoy driving the mountain, you must let them pass first, otherwise there may be trouble." A guard next to him explained.
Gods and immortals drive the mountain?
It's the first time Ji Chen has heard of it.
In the end, under Lu Xiaoyu's explanation, he understood what it meant to rush to the mountain.
The so-called driving the mountains is to treat the people as cattle and rush to the mountains to feed the monsters.
The immortal envoy is a person who believes in these monsters, and regularly brings food for the monsters, and in turn, the monsters will give him some abilities.
For these gods and immortal messengers, this is a gift from the gods and their way of cultivation.
This method is even better than that of the Divine Fire Sect.
There was a faint killing intent emanating from Ji Chen's body. Lu Meng glanced at Ji Chen and admonished, "You'd better not mess around, it will affect our caravan." ”
This group of ragged people, old and young, men and women, under the spur of those fierce and vicious men, walked forward with no light in their eyes.
There was a little girl in the crowd, who had been staring at the caravan with fear, fear, confusion about the unknown fate, and hope for life in her eyes.
Maybe it was under the indoctrination of adults, she already knew what the fate she was going to face, to be eaten by monsters, she didn't cry, but there was a strong desire and expectation in her eyes
She didn't want to die, how she hoped that the people in the caravan would come to her rescue.
At a young age, she endured things that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.
However, everyone in the caravan lowered their eyes and looked cold, who would dare to meddle in the affairs of the immortals in the mountains.
