Chapter Twenty-Five: The Road Encounters
Thousands of miles of Taiping Mountain, the mountain peaks are strange and steep, the streams and rocks are craggy, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and there are endless rare birds and beasts. However, the mountains are steep, and only hunters or herb pickers can occasionally be found on the edge of the mountains. There are few people in the depths of Taiping Mountain.
In the forest surrounded by mountain peaks, a gray shadow suddenly appeared, like a dragon in the sea, appearing and disappearing in the forest sea.
In the blink of an eye, the gray shadow was like smoke, floating towards a huge cliff. In an instant, a young man dressed in an old gray robe appeared on the cliff, with a gourd hanging from his waist, clear eyebrows, and full of pride.
It was Lin Yi who was galloping in the forest.
Looking at the blue under his feet, he was very happy in his heart.
In this uninhabited mountain, on the top of the trees, between the rocks and ravines, the wind control technique has not been able to be used to the fullest, and there is a sense of pleasure in flying against the wind.
Lin Yi is going to Tianping Town. He didn't take the road outside the mountain, first, because there were too many people to use the wind control technique, and the other was that Taiping Town was on the west side of the Taiping Mountain Range. On a whim, he followed the general direction, from the mountain range to Taiping Town, thinking that the distance might be shorter.
Looking up at the sky, it was past noon.
But Lin Yi's heart was a little puzzled, according to his own foot strength, he should have run hundreds of miles, why hasn't he left this Taiping Mountain?
It's just that after such a long gallop, the aura in the body is slightly depleted.
After a short rest, Lin Yi discerned the direction, tiptoed a little, and rushed forward with a smoke.
The top of the high mountains, forests and seas, the field of vision is broad, and you can look far away without divine sense. The trees in front of him were thinning, and Lin Yi was overjoyed, presumably to the edge of the mountain.
Beyond a mountain peak, a mountain path looms in the bushes below. Sure enough, he thought to himself, and finally passed through this Taiping Mountain.
It's just that the road is a little farther than expected. Lin Yi didn't care about this, his body was raised, his feet didn't touch the ground, and he ran down.
When he came to the mountain road he had just seen, he stabilized his figure, and he glanced back and forth. This mountain road is hidden among the trees, one end to the north, the other to the south, where should I go?
If there is a road, there should be pedestrians, and you can't run from the tall trees anymore, otherwise who knows where you will run? And it is not good to be encountered by pedestrians, who is too shocking.
Just as he was hesitating, Lin Yi suddenly looked north.
After a while, a horse-drawn carriage appeared on the mountain road.
The carriage consisted of four people. A fat middle-aged man in the car in front of him should be the head of the four, and this person has a kind face. Next to him was a thin old man, driving with a horsewhip. The car was followed by two men, with strong bodies and weapons at their waists.
Seeing someone blocking the road, the two people behind stepped in front of the carriage in a few steps, pressed their weapons in their hands, and stared at Lin Yi with a nervous expression. The old man who was driving the carriage also hurriedly tightened his bridle and stopped the carriage.
"Why did you stop me from waiting on my way, little brother?" asked the middle-aged man in the carriage. His voice trembled slightly, and he had a smile on his face, and his expression was stiff.
Lin Yi realized that he was standing in the middle of the road, didn't he block the way of others! I don't know what boundary I went to here, don't be regarded as a robbery. He clasped his fists at the other party and said, "I don't mean to block the way here, I'm a hunter in the mountains, and I want to go to Tianping Town." I don't go out of the mountain on weekdays, but I can't tell the direction when I go out of the mountain today, hehe!"
"Oh!" the middle-aged man groaned. He saw that Lin Yi was dressed in old clothes, looked like a boy in the mountains, and had no long things, only a strange gourd hanging on his waist, and seemed to believe the other party's words.
"It's the road to Taiping Town, and the little brother can follow this road. The middle-aged man's smile was gone, but his demeanor was much calmer.
Lin Yiyi wanted to ask a few more words, but seeing that people didn't want to say more, he had to step aside and say, "Everyone, please first!"
The man in front turned his head to signal, the middle-aged man nodded, waved his hand, and the carriage "gurgle" slowly forward.
When the carriage drove by, the two armed men looked vigilant, making Lin Yi smile bitterly in his heart. Still didn't think of himself as a good person, he couldn't go all the way with others, so he had to stay away from the carriage and walk alone behind.
Although the border between these two countries is deserted, there is nothing wrong with the journey. The old man who was driving the car was chattering while driving the car.
"Who knows when something will happen! But the Black Wind Village is broken, and it's a lot quieter here. I met a few thieves here last year, but fortunately, Ma Sloppy and Wang Er were brave, but they also scared them off. The shopkeeper responded.
After hearing the shopkeeper's words, the two people on foot were quite complacent. These two should be the sloppy and Wang Er in the shopkeeper's mouth.
"There are such mountain roads for dozens of miles, so it's better to be careful. The shopkeeper stroked the black mustache under his chin, and turned around and told the two entourage.
Lin Yi was far behind, and the conversation between several people could be heard clearly. Knowing that his rash appearance made the family more worried, and he wanted to hide his body and go by himself. But the aura in his body was not easy to come by, so he couldn't help but shake his head. The future is unknown, and it is better to be careful.
After walking for more than ten miles like this, Lin Yi shook his head, looking left and right, but his mind was still reminiscing about the pleasure of resisting the wind. Just as he walked, he frowned slightly, paused slightly, and continued to walk forward.
Sure enough, before they had gone far, several figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain road, startling the horses pulling the cart and neighing with a "shhh
Six men with weapons and violent expressions stood in front of the carriage.
"Ah, it's a bandit!" exclaimed the old man.
"If you want to live, leave the carriage and get out of here!" A man armed with a big knife stopped viciously on the road.
"Get out of here, or Grandpa will slash one by one!" several of the attendants also shouted with hideous expressions.
"Don't ...... Don't! A few good men, the shopkeeper of Xiao Ji Jade Shop in Xia Taiping Town, this ...... This is a little bit of heart in the next, I hope that a few good men will raise their noble hands and let go of the ...... I can't thank you enough!" the middle-aged shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he rolled off the carriage in a cold sweat. He shuddered and took out the money bag from his bosom and offered it with both hands.
"Haha!" The man who took the lead laughed strangely, dragged the money bag over, stuffed it into his arms in his hand, and kicked the shopkeeper Xiao over.
"Grandpa wants a carriage, if you wait for a few stupid sheep and want to stay, what if grandpa fulfills you!"
Shopkeeper Xiao's fart and urine rolled towards the carriage, trembling like chaff. The old man who was driving the car was also stunned.
Ma Hao and Wang Er glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, drew a steel knife, and blocked the carriage behind him.
A few thieves bullied the two and pounced on them with shouts.
The five thieves surrounded Ma Hu and Wang Er, Ma Hu and Wang Er were also quite brave, shouting loudly in their mouths, and the big knife flew up and down and fought non-stop.
Helplessly, there were many people on the other side, and the man who took the lead stood aside and did not make a move, presumably because he was sure of victory and disdained to make a move.
The thieves were fierce, and the sloppy two gradually lost their support, screaming miserably, their clothes were torn, blood was splashed, and they were not lightly injured.
The man who took the lead laughed a few more times, his eyes showed a fierce light, raised the big knife in his hand, and walked towards Shopkeeper Xiao.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the man looked teasing and followed behind unhurriedly.
The shopkeeper Xiao, who was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, didn't run a few steps before he fell to the ground.
When he turned around and saw the shining sword, he closed his eyes and mourned: My life is over!
