Chapter 148: A Chance Encounter
As soon as Bai Junqian, who had just returned to the camp, he was immediately approached by the Tuyao Immortals and asked, "How is it, who are those people?"
"Merchant. β
As soon as these words came out, sure enough, everyone immediately began to discuss.
"Are we blind, dressed like that and say that we are businessmen?" Chang Yuechen took the lead in speaking in the crowd, his eyes blazing.
Yin Ye pursed his lips, shook his head and sighed: "Yes, knowing that they are deceiving people, why did you still camp for them outside, Master." β
"What does it matter, we are all immortal cultivators, and we are afraid that they will not succeed. The figure immortal said with his arms crossed.
"That's right. The letter echoed.
The two rarely reached a consensus.
"That's what I thought, too. And if they are really merchants, and we drive them away, then we are not lacking in humanity. Bai Junqian said.
When Lan Huanxi heard this, he glanced up and said, "Then let them stay there again, I have already asked Hai Dongqing to inspect the surroundings, and there should be no problems." If everyone changes shifts and sleeps, they will definitely be fine. β
"Well, let's go ahead and build a tent. Shangguan Beiling said to everyone.
For a long time, the so-called merchants set up an enchantment around it for some reason, and then sent a few tall strong men to guard the enchantment.
There were also a few people who were unloading part of the goods on the carriage, and then the tent they had set up was a circle, leaving only one exit in the direction of Bai Junqian and his party, and two separate pieces were vacated on the other side of the camp facing the entrance and exit for the carriage.
Moreover, their tents were made of animal skins, and each of them was marked with the same flower as the other side on their body.
There were eighteen tents in all, and nine of them were covered with different kinds of flametail grass, indicating that they were holding different grades of goods and some miscellaneous goods from their trade.
The rest is hung with a flag with the flower pattern of the other side on it, indicating that there are people living inside.
After a while, Bai Junqian and Chang Yuechen kept vigil first, while the rest of the people went to sleep.
But the group of merchants was just beginning to light the bonfire, and they roasted apples, pears, and meat, and set up small pots with boiling tea, and large iron pots from squatting fish soup and drinking air-dried meat, and with a little spice sprinkling, the smell of fresh fragrance permeated the whole camp.
Suddenly, one of them walked towards Bai Jun and them in the camp, and after a few words of greeting, they invited Bai Junqian and Chang Yuechen to go and taste it.
"No need. Bai Junqian refused with a smile, but Chang Yuechen on the side was about to stay.
A person who has been eating grain for so long is helpless when he sees what he eats but still looks like he wants to eat.
"Go ahead. Chang Yuechen pulled Bai Junqian and said.
Bai Junqian replied thoughtfully: "No, we have to guard the camp." β
"What's the big deal, these are all immortal cultivators, are you still afraid that they will die in such a short time?" After that, Chang Yuechen also deliberately cast a layer of enchantment, and then pulled Bai Jun away.
"It's all said, I'm not going!" Bai Junqian said sternly.
"Yo yo, is it?" Chang Yuechen suddenly laughed wickedly after letting go of his hand, "Then when I find Xiao Lingxi, I will tell her that you and Princess Jiayi of that Ying Kingdom are still hugging each other...... Later, I made other people's little girls cry in the tent at night. β
She also deliberately dragged out her tone so long that Bai Jun had goosebumps, and he almost froze in place, he had never seen such a brazen person.
"How about it, do you want to go?" Chang Yuechen asked with a triumphant expression.
Bai Junqian was a little flustered, hesitated for a while, and then added another layer of enchantment to Chang Yuechen's enchantment.
- And so he succumbed.
After Chang Yuechen saw it, Zhengse said: "It's okay, these two layers of enchantment can't be opened even if the master comes." β
"For the time being....."
"It's enough for the time being! Let's go, let's go!" Chang Yuechen didn't wait for Bai Junqian to finish speaking, and pulled Bai Junqian to the camp where he took the man.
As soon as the two of them entered the camp, they heard someone shouting, "It's time to eat." β
Then a man ran in front of him and went to the tents one by one to call out to the people.
And from the largest tent, it was the man who came out with the voice, his expression was serious, and he kept staring at Bai Junqian and Chang Yuechen.
Immediately after him came a man wearing brown pointed shoes, thick white stockings and yellow breeches, a pale yellow coat, a wide blue cloak, and a strange hat with several red gems on the rim.
He still wears leather gloves on his hands, holds a smiley mask covering a beam in one hand, and holds a golden gem and cane with a fist grinning on the top in the other.
The mask appears to be made of gold, leaving gaps in the human eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
The overall look is very graceful and luxurious.
But the mouth on his mask that laughed unbridled made people feel a little weird when they saw it.
As Bai Junqian sat down by the bonfire, the strangely dressed man also walked to the bonfire, and then immediately someone waiting brought a chair for him and slowly placed it behind him. There is also a comfortable cushion on the chair.
The man also sat down, quietly waiting for the food to be handed to him.
When the flickering fire shines on the man's body, the alternation of light and darkness sets off his behavior quite strangely.
He was almost motionless, his eyes not knowing what to look at.
I don't know how long it took, the man moved and took the food plate in his hand, then ate a few bites, put down the food plate, and did not see any movement from him.
Bai Junqian and Chang Yuechen, two outsiders, sat next to him, and he didn't seem to care at all.
At this time, the people on their side who were guarding the barrier were also replaced after greeting each other, and then went to the central campfire together, and the person with the spoon distributed the food.
The man with the giant sword personally led several people to form a formation and arrived at the entrance and exit in an orderly manner, and then he returned alone after inspecting the surroundings, helping the masked man back into the big tent.
After a while, he came out again, went to the campfire, sat around with the others, munched on food, and talked about something.
When it comes to happiness, some people may not be able to help but laugh at the fish soup or tea in their mouths, and when it comes to sadness, they may sigh together, but soon pat each other on the shoulders and cheer up......
Bai Junqian and Chang Yuechen were invited to say a few words from time to time, Chang Yuechen is a talkative character, so he can make friends with people in any situation, but Bai Junqian is very uncomfortable in this situation.
It's been a long time, and it's almost time for the childβ
After Bai Junqian inspected the camp and came back, the atmosphere around the campfire had become more and more lively, and Chang Yuechen even said some unashamed meat words, which caused a burst of laughter in the camp.
"You're funny!" someone said as he toasted to Chang Yuechen, who also took it and drank it all.
In fact, her face was still slightly red, judging from Bai Junqian's understanding of her, she was about to get drunk, and he couldn't even think about the consequences of her drunkenness.
It's just that before he could help Chang Yuechen away, there was movement behind him, and a black shadow quickly flashed in front of him, and then went to Chang Yuechen's side, and picked up Chang Yuechen, who was still slightly drunk.
Bai Junqian took a closer look, it turned out to be Shun, he came here like this?
"Master, I'll take the Yuechen Immortal back first. I'm here for the vigil. Shun stopped beside Bai Junqian and said.
"But it's not time yet......" Before the words fell, Shun had already left here.
"......." Bai Junqian felt that Shun seemed to be angry.
At this time, the group of people who had exclaimed were looking at Bai Junqian, ready to listen to his explanation.
"It's offensive, this is my apprentice. Bai Junqian bowed his hand and apologized.
Hearing this, the group smiled and continued to drink, and Bai Junqian wanted to go back to his camp, but the tall man suddenly told him that the man with the mask had something to tell him.
So Bai Junqian stood by the bonfire for a while, and from the big tent, the man with the golden mask walked out again.
