Chapter 5: On the Road

In the early morning, as the days passed, the weather was better day by day, and the sun was slightly warm, dispelling the darkness and cold, but not the sadness of parting.

This is the third time that his mother has sorted out Han Fan's clothes, and Han Fan has changed out of the sky-blue robe that he loves physically and mentally, and has changed into a black practice uniform that is not easy to get dirty, also for the convenience of walking.

Han Mu didn't notice the bag behind Han Fan, which was already half the size of herself, and was still thinking about what was missing. The elder brother was at the gate of the courtyard, and even though he was reluctant to give up, all kinds of words turned into silence.

"Okay, damn the child, the child will eventually leave the house and fly to the sky outside, and this day will not come sooner or later. Father Han persuaded and wiped the tears from his mother's cheeks.

"I know, I know. Mother Han responded.

Han Fan's eyes were also wet, although this cheap parents and brother had only been with him for two years, but Han Fan fused this Han Fan's memory, and that feeling was not fake.

Han Fan stepped forward and hugged him, speechless. Mother's tears soaked Han Fan's clothes.

In the end, it was Han's father who pulled Han Fen's footsteps and left in a hurry, and if he didn't leave, he really couldn't go!

The distance between Xinghua Town and Iwacheng is not too far, after all, it is a small town around Iwacheng, and in the evening, the two of them have arrived at Iwajo, and they are shocked by the tall and magnificent city walls and are speechless.

Han Fan has also seen the Eiffel Tower and the Potala Palace, but he has never felt the magnificent and tall atmosphere like the rock city, what Han Fan did not think is that one day, he will also have a face of countrymen entering the city.

It wasn't until the evening that the two found a relatively cheap inn to live in, and the rock city made them lose their eyes and get lost, and Han Fan even thought that if they wanted to go to every place in the rock city, it would take half a year to go from morning to night every day.

Chang'an City, one of the two main cities from Yancheng to Beizhou, has a wide official road, and you can hire your own carriage grooms, or you can follow the caravan of the same sex, the latter is more expensive because the caravan will be escorted by a dart master.

Generally, the strength of the dart bureau in Rock City is around the second realm, and the highest is only the beginning of the third realm, which is more than enough to deal with robbers on the way.

The father and son found a caravan going to Chang'an City at the gate of the city early the next morning, and the person in charge naturally did not refuse this kind of business, and was familiar with the road, and stuffed a tael of silver, which was considered a success.

As for whether the price of that person was too high, Han's father didn't care, it was nothing compared to his son's safety.

Finally, the caravan departed, and my father stopped in place, waving his hand until he couldn't see Han Fan's figure.

"The child has grown up. The father sighed with emotion, collected his mood and left.

It takes about two months to travel from Yancheng to Chang'an City. Han Fan's temperament is cheerful and lively, and he can also speak, so the journey is boring, so the dart masters take pleasure in ridiculing Han Fan, and they laugh constantly.

Even the person in charge of the caravan occasionally had to make fun of Han Fan and take pleasure in it, Han Fan naturally wouldn't mind, they hadn't read the books, but they had read the world and learned what they had learned, which might not be taught in the books.

On this day, the weather was unusually gloomy, and the mountain rain was coming, and the people of the caravan hated this kind of rainy weather the most, not to mention delaying the trip, and it was easy to have accidents.

Sure enough, it began to drizzle after a while, the spring rain continued, and the coolness became thicker, accompanied by a group of robbers of dozens of people.

Han Fan finally knew what kind of bandits always had to say that they were living with their heads pinned to their belts, except for a few stabs from a few dart masters at the peak of the first realm, the others were unharmed.

As for the robbers, naturally the whole army was wiped out, and only one was left alive, who was arrested and questioned.

After learning that it was just an ordinary group of bandits eager to make a windfall, that person naturally lost his value and, according to the jargon, had to be "dealt with".

One of the fiercest dart masters who teased Han Fan on weekdays spoke: "Why don't we interrupt this guy's hands and feet and let the little kid kill him?"

The little kid in the mouth of the dart master is naturally Han Fan, Han Fan got off the carriage and walked straight to the bandit, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so fast that he had not had time to practice, and he was going to kill someone.

But there are some things that you have to face sooner or later, and you can't hide from them.

"Do you know how to repent?" Han Fan took the knife in the dart master's hand, his arm sank, and he hurriedly clenched the handle of the knife hard, the robber had already been abolished, Han Fan was a little unbearable, anyway, this look can't be a disaster, it's better to let the other party live, there is no hatred.

"Repent of being a ball, a little fart child who hasn't grown hair, Lao Tzu admitted it today, but it's not a loss, he ruined a lot of good girls, and killed a lot of people, and now it's at this point, I also admit it.

Life and death are rich and noble, the only thing that Lao Tzu is curious about is that grandpa is looking at you like this, do you dare to do it?"

He stared at Han Fan deadly, exuding a terrifying aura on his body.

Han Fan instantly felt a chill seeping into his body, his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but shiver. Only the dart masters on the side knew that it was murderous.

The dart master who gave Han Fan the scimitar thought to himself, if Han Fan was cowardly, he would go up to help, and then he had to ridicule him again.

"You are terrible, a look makes me afraid, but I never think this is a shameful thing, it is normal to be afraid, and the strong, it is to overcome fear, you gave me a reason to kill you, even if you die and be a ghost, you have to haunt me, I have a clear conscience, this knife, you look at it with wide eyes. ”

Han Fan said so much, but also to cheer himself up, to overcome that fear, as the words fell, Han Fan should hold the knife with both hands and slash at the robber's neck.

Blood gushed out, and before he could leave a mark on this land, he was diluted by the rain, and the man's eyes were still round, as if he didn't expect Han Fan to have the courage to go to the knife.

"Good. The dart master clapped his hands and shouted, and the others also applauded, they also came from Han Fan's age, so they naturally knew the difficulty of this, and they felt that this kid had enough courage in their hearts.

The group stopped for a while, saw that the rain was getting lighter, and continued to hurry, Han Fan returned the knife to the dart master, it was still cold, the dart master touched Han Fan's head, and asked Han Fan if he wanted to be a dart master, Han Fan sat on the edge of the carriage, his legs were weak, and said with a smile No need, he doesn't like this kind of fighting.

After all, it is the first time to kill someone, and there must be some sequelae, and it is reckless to say that he is safe and sound.

"I remember, after the first time I killed someone, I had insomnia for several nights, and I was scared to huddle under the quilt late at night, for fear that the ghost of that person would come to the door, and then I started to drink, which can relieve stress and strengthen my courage, and when I get used to it, I feel that it is nothing. ”

The dart master patted Han Fan's shoulder, and squinted at the wine gourd on Han Fan's waist, the gourd was no longer a crystal clear color, but was painted with gray paint by Han's father, which could last for a month.

Han Fan immediately understood, took off the gourd and poured a sip of wine, and then handed it to the dart master, "You drink it too." ”

"Boy, you're sensible!" said the master with a smile, and took a sip of the flask.

"Good wine! This is apricot blossom brewing, it's not cheap. The dart master was amazed.

Xinghua Brew was sold for ten taels of silver in Yancheng, and the origin is naturally Xinghua Town, and the source of supply is precisely Han Ji Restaurant, that is, the tavern of Han Fan's brother.

"I live in Xinghua Town, and everyone is an acquaintance, so it is naturally cheap to sell it to me. Han Fan said.

"No wonder, why did you go to Chang'an City this time?" asked the dart master.

"Go to rich relatives and go to the big city for a long time. Han Fan scratched his head and replied embarrassedly.

"Chang'an City is very big, very prosperous, see the world, very good. The dart master laughed.

Han Fan blamed himself a lot for his lies, but he knew that he was a human being in two lives, and he knew that there were some words that could not be easily revealed.

The rest of the journey went smoothly and without any accidents, and one morning, the caravan arrived at Chang'an City.

Han Fan was once again shocked by the scene in front of him—a magnificent, ancient, and solemn aura came to his face, and it was a blue-gray city wall about a hundred feet high and with no end in sight on both sides.

The person in charge of the caravan stuffed some broken silver to the doorman, and the group entered the city smoothly, and Han Fan was instantly dazzled by the prosperity of Chang'an City:

Floors stacked pavilions, green tiles and vermilion eaves, carved railings and jade, beautiful.

Speaking of the monks on the street, you can see them everywhere, there are scholars wearing Confucian shirts and robes, there are young men with swords at their waists, there are also bearded men with heavy axes on their backs, and even some spirit beasts follow their masters and walk proudly on the streets.

These scenes made Han Fan unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and also strengthened his determination to practice.

It can be said that the high place is naturally beautiful.

Han Fan found the dart master who had talked the most before, and the dart master's surname was Guo.

"Brother Guo, do you know where the Zhulu Academy in Chang'an City is, I have been listening to my father when I was a child, saying that it is a sect of Confucian immortals, and I really want to go and see it. Han Fan said.

"It just so happens that I also want to stay here for a few days, visit Chang'an City, Zhulu Academy is still half a day's journey from here, let's have dinner first. The dart master said.

"Half a day!?" Han Fan's mouth opened wide in surprise, it took half a day to get from Xinghua Town to Rock City. Once again, Han Fan was amused by his ignorance.

"Hmm. The dart master answered, walking in front with the outer figure, and Han Fan trotted behind.
