Shenzhou Straight Road, is the Great Zhou Dynasty Emperor Taizu began to build after the unification of the Central Plains began to build the official road, all by three feet thick bluestone slabs paved, extremely wide, the narrowest section of the road can also be used for six carriages side by side, stretching for thousands of miles, criss-crossing, to border the six states.

Approaching noon, the sound of horses and hooves on Qingxuan Road was bursting, Li Hanyi, who was dressed in brocade clothes, rode on a high-headed horse with a sad face, he was a second-generation disciple of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, although his appearance was ordinary, but he was superior in talent and extraordinary skills, and he stepped into the threshold of the Shenwu Realm at the age of thirty. Finally, after the realm was improved some time ago, he was promoted to a little elder, but he was not addicted to being an elder enough, and he received a special task early this morning: to escort the young master to Kunlun Mountain to find medicine.

Tianxi City Dafeng Mountain is located in Wuling County, Taiqing Prefecture, two thousand eight hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain in Eastern Xuanzhou, which is obviously a thankless chore. Fortunately, on this trip, in addition to himself, Han Diaoyi, the great elder of Qingfeng Pavilion in the inner courtyard, accompanied him, which made Li Hanyi's heart feel a lot more relieved.

Li Hanyi glanced at Han Diaoyi, who was over fifty years old and gray-haired beside him, and whispered, "Elder Han, I heard that there is constant ice and snow in the four seasons over there in Dongxuanzhou, is it true?"

Han Diaoyi rode a dark horse chasing the wind for thousands of miles, carrying a big sword, and in the face of Li Hanyi's question, his old face was expressionless, and he just nodded lightly.

Li Hanyi complained: "Why did you send me such a chore, the two states are separated by five counties and thirty-eight cities, it has been half a day, and I have only walked less than fifty miles, at this speed, when will I be able to reach Dongxuan?"

Han Diaoyi said coldly: "Elder Li, if you don't want to go, it's still too late to go back now, tell the sect master and let him come with another person." ”

When Li Hanyi heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Elder Han is serious, complaining is complaining, but it is naturally impossible to let me go back, I am just a little worried." ”

"Oh, worried about what?"

Li Hanyi glanced at the carriage behind him, the old horseman who was driving the carriage grinned at him, and his teeth yellowed from long-term smoking were particularly conspicuous, Li Hanyi frowned and ignored it, and whispered to Han Diaoyi: "Taiqing is so far from Dongxuan, and the young master is weak, I'm worried that if something goes wrong on the road, won't we be unlucky?"

The corners of Han Diaoyi's mouth rose slightly without a trace, and said: "We only need to be responsible for his personal safety, as for his illness, it is not something you and I can control, you don't need to worry." ”

Li Hanyi nodded and didn't speak again.

In the delicate and spacious carriage, a young man in a brocade hat and mink fur held a wooden box in both hands, stunned. Opposite the boy sat a girl in black clothes and white hair, the girl's face was fair, her facial features were small and exquisite, and her autumn eyes faintly revealed a touch of blue. She looked at the young man and said, "Young Master, why do you put this sword in a wooden box?"

Mu Linchun said: "Give it away." ”

"To whom?" Yue Yao was very curious.

"Heh, you'll see him in a moment. Mu Linchun closed his eyes and said no more.

After walking for more than ten miles, a group of five people came to a small town, Han Diaoyi drove his horse to the carriage and said, "Young master, there is a town in front, let's have lunch in the town before leaving?"

"It's a long way to Kunlun, just let Elder Han arrange all these things, and you don't have to tell me everything in the future. In the carriage, Mu Linchun's tone was very respectful.

Han Diaoyi answered, and led a few people to a rather high-end restaurant to stop. The white-haired girl Yueyao helped Mu Linchun, who was wearing a mink fur, into the restaurant, and where she passed, everyone looked sideways.

Several people found a table to sit down, but the old groom who was driving the car did not sit down, he looked older than Han Diaoyi, his clothes were old, a branch was stuck in his bun, a wine gourd hung on the left side of his trouser belt, and a dry tobacco pipe about two feet long was inserted on the right, which seemed a little out of place with Li Hanyi and others.

Han Diaoyi said flatly: "Old Yuntou, you go to the carriage to take care of it, and I will leave you some food when I get back." ”

The old horseman, known as Lao Yuntou, is the old man in charge of raising horses in the Red Lotus Sword Sect, because he lives in the stable all day long, and this old man likes to drink and smoke dry tobacco, so the smell on his body is inevitably a little unpleasant, in the Red Lotus Sword Sect, no one wants to look at this old man more.

Lao Yuntou wants to drink and smoke all day long, and he is happy, and he doesn't know sorrow at all. After listening to the words of the Great Elder, he was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Mu Linchun, "No need, Uncle Yun has worked hard all the way, let's sit down and eat together." ”

Mu Linchun has been watching horses in the Red Lotus Sword Sect since he can remember, when he was a child, he saw that Lao Yuntou was lonely and helpless, and he once gave him a lot of good wine, but this old man didn't know how to say some words of gratitude. On this trip, Mu Linchun saw that it was Lao Yuntou who was driving the car, how could he not understand in his heart, presumably except for this stupid old man, no one was willing to drive thousands of miles.

Lao Yuntou smiled, and sat down, Yue Yao only felt that Lao Yuntou was a little pitiful, and didn't care much, but Li Hanyi and Han Diaoyi were unhappy in their hearts, but the young master had spoken, and they couldn't say anything, but they all distanced themselves from Lao Yuntou, and the dishes that were sandwiched by him, the two of them would never touch again.

Mu Linchun's appetite is very small, and he doesn't eat as much as Yueyao, it's not that he doesn't want to eat, but he eats everything that tastes like chewing wax, unless he or Qin Xuan personally cooks and makes some dishes he likes, but when he goes out, it's obviously too troublesome to do that.

There are not many restaurants in the town, and there is only one decent one, which is because the restaurant that is not big is already overcrowded. At this time, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes suddenly walked in, and the guy in the restaurant saw that he was sloppy, so he drove him out as a beggar, but before he reached the man, he was frightened by his eyes and staggered back, and almost sat on the ground, and then the guy yelled like a ghost in the daytime, so that the guests in the room felt inexplicable.

When Han Diaoyi and Li Hanyi saw this scene, they glanced at each other, and with their martial arts cultivation, they could naturally see that Xiao Er was forced to retreat by the invisible qi released by that person. However, Han Diaoyi didn't want to meddle in things, so he shook his head slightly at Li Hanyi.

If a person who walks in the rivers and lakes does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, as long as this person is not unfavorable to himself, he has the right not to see it. Unexpectedly, the sloppy man walked to his table without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Han Diaoyi snorted coldly, and did not make any movement, but the long sword that was behind his back slowly came out of its sheath. This unique skill is much more clever than the sloppy man pushing Xiao Er with a gas machine just now, which frightened many diners and speculated about who this old man was.

However, the sloppy man turned a blind eye to this, glanced at the arrogant and happy old Yuntou, frowned slightly, and then locked his eyes on Mu Linchun, who was wrapped in mink fur, and asked, "Are you sick?"

As soon as the sloppy man said this, the diners at the nearby tables guessed that there was a good show to watch now. Li Hanyi also put down his chopsticks and held the Flying Snow Sword at his waist.

Unexpectedly, Mu Linchun nodded and admitted that he was sick.

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "There are also people in my family who are sick, and many doctors have not been cured, I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Dongping County a few days ago, so I wanted to take her over to see, but ...... I don't have any money now, so I want to borrow some from you, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. After the man said this, his face was slightly embarrassed.

Han Diaoyi laughed angrily, "This friend, although I am also very sympathetic to your experience, but we don't know each other, you find someone you don't know to borrow money, hehe, I'm afraid you're poor and crazy, right?" After speaking, the long sword behind Han Diaoyi had already flown into his hand, as long as this guy dared to take a step forward, he would do it immediately.

The sloppy man didn't move, and looked at Mu Linchun with a pair of bloodshot eyes. The latter's face was calm, but Yueyao on the side looked like she was facing a great enemy, and even she felt that this person was a little absurd.

After about half a cup of tea, the sloppy man saw that the mink qiu boy still did not express his position, sighed, and then turned around and was about to leave, but he heard a voice that was not full of energy and asked, "How much silver do you want?"

The sloppy man suddenly turned around, showing a hint of joy on his face, "One, one hundred taels should be enough." ”

As soon as the man said this, everyone was stunned, and they all felt that this guy was really poor and crazy, one hundred taels, why didn't he just grab it? But to everyone's surprise, the young man wrapped in a mink fur didn't say a word, and really took out a silver ticket and handed it over.

At this time, not only the crowd who watched the excitement was stunned, but even the sloppy man was stunned, only to feel unbelievable, he took the silver ticket and saw the denomination, and then he was relieved. Said gratefully: "Great grace is not grateful, may I ask what the son is called?"

"Mu Linchun. ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of that. After saying this, the sloppy man turned around and left, and ran out of the restaurant in a hurry.

It wasn't until the sloppy man's figure disappeared that everyone in the tavern came back to their senses, and they couldn't help but secretly curse the guy wrapped in the mink fur for being a stupid person with a lot of money. A few people even wanted to learn from the sloppy man and asked him to "borrow" some money to spend, but seeing that Li Hanyi and Han Diaoyi were carrying long swords and had extraordinary momentum, they finally dispelled this idea.

Han Diaoyi continued to eat after the long sword was sheathed, and didn't say anything, anyway, the money was not his, the sloppy man didn't seem to be weak in martial arts, although he was confident that he could kill him, but it would inevitably take a lot of effort to really fight, and he could solve it with money, and let the young master consciously do a good thing, why didn't he do it? Li Hanyi on the side was still very distressed about the one hundred taels, but seeing that Elder Han didn't speak, he couldn't say anything.

After eating, the group re-embarked on the road, because they were afraid that Mu Linchun's body could not stand the bumps of the carriage, so Han Diaoyi and the others tried to slow down as much as possible, and only after three days of walking did they leave Wuling and arrive in Fengxiang County, Taiqing Prefecture.

The sun is setting, the afterglow of the setting sun will reflect the earth red, and the group of people will walk to a section where there are mountains on both sides, Han Diaoyi beckoned everyone to cheer up, this remote path without a shop in front of the village is easy to be infested by bandits.

As it turned out, his guess was not wrong, and after walking for a while, he saw a group of bandits dressed in green forests and grass shouting around a pair of young men and women on the side of the road not far ahead. The young men and women are not weak in martial arts, each holding a long sword in their hands, facing off against the group of bandits back to back, not falling behind, and the bandits also saw the strength of the two, and did not fight with them, but took turns to fight, obviously trying to exhaust the two.

Han Diaoyi has never been nosy, so he didn't squint at the moment and ordered everyone to continue on their way. Just as Han Diaoyi was about to approach the gang of horse thieves, he suddenly heard someone screaming, "Uncle Han, save me!"

Hearing this shout, Han Diaoyi saw clearly the girl in Tsing Yi who was trapped in the center by the horse thief, and couldn't help but be furious. I saw his figure rise, blink of an eye to the center of the sky above the group of bandits, and randomly pulled out a sword, more than a dozen heads suddenly flew up out of thin air, and then landed one after another, and the corpses all fell towards the periphery without exception.

After killing more than a dozen people with one sword, Han Diaoyi's face did not change, and after landing, he looked at the girl in the stunned field and asked, "Youzhi, why are you here?"

The girl in Tsing Yi came back to her senses, and threw herself into Han Diaoyi's arms, and she cried loudly, her move made the eyes of the purple-clothed young man who was still stunned almost fall off. He really couldn't imagine that this lawless girl would cry too?

As if sensing the young man's gaze, the girl in Tsing Yi turned her face and glared at him fiercely, and then said, "Uncle Han, teach me a lesson for this little thief, he dares to take advantage of me." ”

When Han Diao heard this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and a murderous aura permeated out. But suddenly I heard a person hurriedly say, "Stop!"
