9 Blocking the way
On the official road, a caravan is heading forward against the cold wind.
The carriage was full of goods, and the wheels left deep ruts on the muddy loess road.
Surrounded by guards with swords and swords, followed by some people - no way, now the world is difficult, there are bandits and rebels, maybe you will encounter monsters, ordinary people do not work together, it is difficult to move an inch. It was their luck to be able to spend a small amount of money to attach themselves to such a guarded caravan.
Ji Xiaoduo was also in this caravan.
At this time, she was still dressed as a man, and Mo Li each rode a horse, and slowly walked forward with the caravan.
The road is so bad, and the weather is not good, so I can't go faster.
Ji Xiaoduo thought that she should have found a way to make cement and asphalt first.
If it was just her and Mo Li, of course it could be faster.
But she followed this caravan for a purpose—this caravan was also going to Wanshan.
There is indeed no shortage of well-informed people in the world who are "above them".
The owner of this caravan is called Yang Hongting, who suddenly fell ill at a post station before, and Ji Xiaoduo happened to pass by and rescued him.
In order to express his gratitude, or just not worried about his condition, Yang Hongting wanted to keep this "miracle doctor", so he revealed to her the affairs of Huanshan Immortal City, and mysteriously said that he had a way, as long as he got there, he would definitely be able to enter.
Ji Xiaoduo stayed.
She was originally a little skeptical about the tea fir. After all, he didn't know each other, who knows if he was afraid of Ji Xiaoduo's investigation, so he casually made up a time and place to coax her to leave Yizhou first? Anyway, he didn't show his true body, and then use this time to make some arrangements, and when Ji Xiaoduo came back, it would be even more impossible to find him. Even if he finds it, he can strongly argue that he is not lying, "You didn't see Xianshi, it's because you don't have this opportunity."
After all, who can say clearly about chance?
It's just that for Ji Xiaoduo, this kind of news would rather be believed. Anyway, she has nothing else to do, even if it's fake, it's just a trip for nothing, just a trip to see the scenery.
After chatting with Yang Hongting in the past few days, I believe that it is indeed true.
According to Yang Hongting, this immortal market is held once every three years, and the place is different every time. Originally, it was not open to mortals. The immortals have rare treasures, and they can't look down on the mortal world, and the gold and silver of the mortal world can't buy the elixir talisman. But if a mortal enters by mistake, the immortal chief who manages the immortal market will only turn a blind eye.
Earlier, there was a legend that someone used half a pot of bad wine in the fairy market to exchange for a night pearl, and when he came out, he became rich and rich.
"Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, in the end, they have not yet become immortals. Yang Hongting said, "Some people say that cultivating immortals must first cut off kinship and eliminate the six desires, but there are always people who can't do it." A pot of wine and a cake may evoke which immortal chief's thoughts about his hometown, and if he appreciates something, it will be priceless. ”
Ji Xiaoduo couldn't help but feel funny, "Boss Yang brought so many goods, are you planning to try your luck?"
"Half and half. Some of them were ordered by my friend. Some of them I asked for myself that the monks might like. There are also some fresh gadgets from Shaozhou, which are said to have been used by Ji Niangniang, maybe they haven't even seen the immortals. ”
Yang Hongting squeezed his eyebrows.
Ji Xiaoduo is full of black lines.
What did she use?
How could Zhao Mingxuan let others take out the things she had used and sell them?
Even the things she had in Baihualou earlier had moved back to him, okay?
If it is said that she invented it...... Soap?
Monks...... Will soap be needed?
Isn't it all cleaning and cleaning?
However, although Yang Hongting said this to brag, it was obvious that it was also a bit of a warning - he had friends in the Xianmen, so don't just beat his idea.
But Ji Xiaoduo felt that he might just bluff people.
If you really have such a good friend, why do you have to go all the way to the fairy market to try your luck? Since he needs these goods, can't you trade them directly? The monk just took the storage bag and packed it away.
She said to Yang Hongting that there was a way to enter Xian City, and she was a little suspicious.
But anyway, there are no other clues now, since Yang Hongting has brought so many goods and is full of confidence, he should know more than her, let's take a look over there.
Anyway, most of the distance has passed, and if you calculate the time, even if the caravan is slow, you should be able to catch up.
It's really not good, and it will be too late for them to leave the team in the last few days.
It's a pity that she originally wanted to go down the mountain for the New Year, but even Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in the wild, but everyone ate and drank together, and even couldn't drink more, after all, I don't know if there will be danger in the middle of the night.
Ji Xiaoduo was feeling sorry in his heart, and he saw the front dart master raise his arm and make a stop gesture.
This means that the previous situation is not quite right.
The convoy stopped, and Qiu Yong, the head of the dart, immediately drove his horse forward to check.
The road ahead was blocked by two large trees that had been cut down.
Qiu Yong frowned, his eyes scanned the surrounding mountains and forests, his palm touched the hilt of the knife on his waist, and shouted loudly: "Qiu Yong in the Xia Jinwei Dart Bureau, dare to ask your friends on the road that is blocking the road in front of you? Why don't you show up and see each other?"
Yang Hongting did calculate the blood capital this time, in addition to the coachman, there were fifty young and strong family members, and he invited the Jinwei Dart Bureau to escort him.
The dart head Qiu Yong took a lot of dart masters to the executioner.
Although there were some losses along the way, the total number of people is still nearly 100.
Ordinary robbers, they are not afraid.
After Qiu Yong finished shouting, he heard a strange laugh from the forest, and a group of monkeys rushed out.
Ji Xiaoduo couldn't recognize what breed it was, but it looked bigger than the monkey in her impression, and the size was almost the same as that of a teenager.
These big monkeys even had blades in their hands, waving them at the caravan and letting out threatening roars from their mouths.
The dart master and the guards also clenched their weapons and prepared for battle.
Of course, there are still people who are afraid, but this year...... Monsters can be generals, what is the matter with monkeys blocking the road and robbing them?
Everyone is not surprised.
A larger monkey came out of the crowd, and it was even dressed, but it did not look like a human, it was dressed in short yellowish brown hair, its eyes were red, and it showed a fierce light, and its snout protruded forward, revealing four sharp fangs, and it smiled strangely, "Good to come! This king is going to feast guests, and there are a few small dishes to be served with wine." I think you're good. ”
Qiu Yong's expression froze.
If it is an ordinary mountain bandit, or a homeless rebel, blocking the road is just to seek money, there are so many of them, plus the fame of the Jinwei Dart Bureau, and then give a small gift, most of them will be let go.
But this ran into a youkai, or a man-eating youkai...... There is only one way to fight.
The monkey demon didn't intend to talk nonsense, so he called out "children" and was about to give an order, when he suddenly paused.
Ji Xiaoduo was also distracted, and looked up at the air.
Someone was speeding in mid-air.
It's really flying.
And it's two people.
One in front and one behind, one blue and one black, like two streamers.
The man in blue in front of him was flying, and he was still shouting angrily: "Pei Yue, are you sick?
The man in black in the back ignored it.
The man in blue said again: "Then there is a monkey demon blocking the way and killing people, you don't care?"
The figure in black was really stunned, and he could stop in the sky above the caravan.
The man in blue seized this gap, and he didn't know what secret technique or magic weapon he used, so he sped up his speed and disappeared in an instant.
