Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man Reunited

The summer heat has not yet gone far, and the early autumn sun is still scorching.

On the road leading to the county seat, a few healthy horses were walking.

Several large cars followed closely behind with a rumbling sound, and a corner flag fluttered in front of the car. More than 10 people accompanied him, unanimously capable and lean!

A man and a woman in front of them walked side by side. The woman is upright and youthful, but she is dressed as a woman, dressed in red, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a handsome face, and a heroic posture. The man on the side, in his twenties, was burly, with a rough face, a short circle of hair under his chin, and a little more calm in his might.

"It's still so hot in autumn!" the man felt the heat on his back, muttered dissatisfiedly, put his hand on his forehead, and looked ahead.

"Senior brother, this place is not far from Siping, don't be impatient!" the woman on the side said lightly.

The senior brother smiled disappreciatively, twisted his stout body, looked back behind him, and shouted in a loud voice: "Brothers, work hard, after arriving in Siping, each person will have half a pot of wine at night!"

"Thank you, big brother, thank you for the dart!" the men behind shouted excitedly!

The senior brother also laughed proudly, and when he held his head high, his spirit was bright. The junior sister frowned affectionately on the side, but frowned and smiled. Under the golden sun, the ruddy face of the junior sister is more and more radiant!

Not far in front of the road, there is a fork in the road, and after the intersection, you can go straight to Siping.

The group walked briskly, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the fork in the road. Under a big tree in front of the fork in the road, a country boy was looking forward to it.

The senior brother drove the horse and took the lead to turn the fork in the road. The younger sister followed closely behind, and when she saw someone under the tree, she couldn't help but squint, and then knocked her heel lightly on the horse's belly and walked forward.

The man under the tree looked curiously at the back of the red-clothed man on the horse. Seeing that the junior sister's mount galloped a few steps lightly, and she could stand side by side with the senior brother, she looked stunned, suddenly tightened her hands, turned her horse's head, and looked at the young man under the tree.

The group noticed something was wrong, and the convoy gradually stopped. The senior brother also couldn't stay on the horse, and his face was puzzled.

......

As soon as Lin left Agui and his party, he made a decision. He took Siping County as his only place.

Lin Yi didn't know where the Tianlong Sect was, and he didn't know where Siping County was.

And the road is in the mouth, Lin Yi can only walk all the way and ask all the way like ordinary people. But I didn't expect to encounter a fork in the road halfway, and at this time, the sun was at the top, there were few pedestrians on the road, and I looked back and forth for a long time, but there was no one in sight.

In front of me was at the height of the day's heat, and it was a little strange to stand alone on the road. Feeling stupid, Lin Yi thought that it would be better to be like an ordinary person, so he went to the side under the big tree and waited for the arrival of passers-by.

Passers-by finally came, and there were still a lot of them, not touching the ground, either on horses or in cars. The flag in front of Lin Yi recognized as a dart flag.

The rules of the dart team, Lin Yi is slightly one or two, and it is not good to rush forward to ask for directions. He was still depressed as a horse passed in front of him, still looking into the distance.

The moment the woman in red looked at herself as she passed by, she was keenly noticed by Lin Yi. His brow furrowed, and then he suddenly relaxed.

It's just that after a while, the woman in red turned her horse's head to look at herself, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth.

The sound of hooves was rustling, and the junior sister drove the horse to the big tree, her apricot eyes flashed, and a crisp voice sounded: "This little brother has a kind face, and he takes the liberty to ask for his surname!" After speaking, she looked up and down at this plainly dressed country boy. Seeing that this young man has a slightly different face except for his different height, and the agility and cunning, calmness and composure between his eyebrows, his expression is extremely similar to that of the young man a few years ago.

"Sister Yuan, do you remember Xiao Yi?" Lin Yi smiled, raised his hand and saluted the woman in red.

"Heyβ€”β€”! what a little brother!" The senior brother in the back also saw Lin Yimian familiar, thought about it, heard his voice, knew his person, jumped off the horse first, took three steps and two steps, came to the front, laughed, raised his big slap, and patted him affectionately.

"It's not for my sister to remind me, I really missed it, Xiaoyi, I've grown so tall, but I haven't seen you for a few years!"

Lin Yi stood still and received two hard slaps. He smiled bitterly in his heart, this sea of cars is still the same, but the sincerity is also comfortable.

The first time he saw the woman in red, he recognized it as Yuan Fengming from the Taiping Dart Bureau, seeing her passing by, Lin Yi didn't make a sound, people were in a hurry, and he didn't want to disturb rashly.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Fengming still remembered the little Taoist priest a few years ago. Qingyun Daoist is kind to the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is naturally not unkind.

"I didn't expect that a few years later, I met Xiaoyi here, what a blessing!" Yuan Fengming dismounted and greeted cordially.

"This situation also makes Xiaoyi excited!" The old people were happy to see each other.

Che Hai beckoned the convoy to stop for a nap, and then accompanied Lin Yi with his junior sister to cool off under the tree, and took out water and dry food, and the three of them talked while eating.

Yuan Wanzhang of the Taiping Dart Bureau, after suffering the heavy blow in Heifeng Village a few years ago, although his body is fine, his energy is not as good as before, but fortunately, with Yuan Wanwu's support, the dart game is generally fine. Yuan Fengming and Che Hai have become a couple, and this time they went to Qincheng. Yuan Fengming was not worried about her husband, so she came together. The woman's thoughtfulness and the fierceness and roughness of the sea of cars also complement each other.

The Yuan family also heard about the departure of the Qingyun Dao Immortal, and sighed for it. Later, I heard that Xuanyuanguan was gone, and I didn't know the whereabouts of Xiaoyi, and I met by chance today, which made the couple happy. It's just that they don't know that in today's Xuanyuan Temple, there are two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man.

Lin Yi also talked about his situation in the past few years.

The couple also felt relieved to hear that Lin Yishou had found a close relative of his clan after three years of filial piety. When I heard Lin Yi say that he wanted to go to the world. The two were worried about his future.

"Where is Xiao Yi going? Since the Taoist priest is not doing it, why don't you come to our dart game, and you will have a bowl of rice to eat. Che Hai said loudly, and Yuan Fengming also looked at Lin Yi with concern.

In the face of the sincerity of the two, Lin Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Thank you Brother Che for your kindness, Xiao Yi followed the master when he was a child, and learned from the master's teachings that there are countless capable people in the world, and strange talk is unheard of." Therefore, after the master went, Xiao Yi also wanted to take a walk around the world and take a look. For example, Xiao Yi once learned a few days of rough kung fu with his master, and he was more curious about the supreme and strongest martial arts in the world, and when he heard about the vastness of the East China Sea, he also wanted to go to the seaside one day to feel it. If one day Xiaoyi has nowhere to go, he will naturally look for Brother Che and Sister Yuan, presumably the two of them will be able to find a bowl of rice for Xiaoyi. ”

"Xiao Yi's ambitions are high, let my sister admire!" Yuan Fengming looked at Lin Yi's persistent and indifferent expression, and praised: "The East China Sea is thousands of miles away from here, so don't mention it for the time being." Let's say that most of the martial arts are from the Tianlong faction. And this Tianlong faction is the first major faction in the rivers and lakes, Jiulong Mountain is called the holy land of the rivers and lakes, and the little one can go there to travel and see. ”

Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The Tianlong Sect is not far from Qincheng, and Xiao Yi can go with us here. Butβ€”" Che Hai said happily, scratching his head in thought.

"But I heard that it is extremely difficult to get started with the Tianlong Sect, and the younger one is older!" Che Hai said with a deep groan.

"It's okay, Xiao Yi doesn't want to join the Tianlong Sect, it's just to have a long experience, Brother Che doesn't have to worry!" Seeing Che Hai's sincere tone, Lin Yi smiled and comforted.

"How is Xiao Yi's martial arts now?Do you want to have a discussion with my eldest brother?" Che Hai smiled and threw himself up.

"Brother Che, please spare me! Xiao Yi's shallow effort is not worth mentioning. Lin Yi hurriedly grabbed the sea of cars and said with a smile. Che Hai didn't care either, and laughed heartily.

Yuan Fengming also smiled and said: "If you want to go to the Jianghu Great Sect to see for a long time, you may not necessarily have to join the sect, there are other ways, and then you can do it when you get to Qincheng, just go with us first."

"It's just that I'm causing trouble with Sister Yuan and Brother Che!" Lin nodded and smiled.

"Haha, Xiao Yi doesn't have to be polite, brothers, let's go!" Che Hai waved his hand and beckoned everyone to hurry.

Everyone packed up and the group set off again. It was still the Che Hai couple who walked in front, and there were two horseback dart masters behind the convoy to guard them.

The convoy consisted of four large cars, and Lin Yi sat in the last car. The driver of the car was the executioner of the dart board, in his twenties, named Ergouzi. He has a slightly dark complexion, strong body and muscles, an easy-going temperament, and a smile that gives people a good impression. Lin Yi leaned over and sat at the front of the car, watching the second dog whip the car, occasionally chatting a few words, and he was relaxed along the way.

The sun is setting in the west, the sunset is like a brocade, and a blue-gray city wall appears in front of everyone.

In the evening, the convoy finally arrived at Siping County. The county seat in front of you has a radius of four or five miles, and the blue-gray city wall about two zhang high surrounds the city. When the convoy slowly entered the city, Lin Yi looked curiously at the city gate. In the city gate, where two carriages can be paralleled, there is a constant flow of people. In the blink of an eye, the city is already lit up, and the wider streets are bustling, lively and noisy.

The convoy passed through the streets, walked to a slightly secluded place in the county seat, and stopped in front of a large courtyard, where many people poured out to help drive the carts and horses into the courtyard.

Listening to the second dog, Lin Yi knew that this was the Siping Branch of the Taiping Dart Bureau. Sure enough, the lantern I saw in front of the door had the word Taiping on it.

Lin Yi accompanied everyone to help unload the horses and pack up their things, and then was greeted by the sea of cars, and everyone walked into a big house with a smile. Inside, several wooden tables are lined up, and there are meals on them, which turned out to be where everyone eats.

Lin Yi was called by Yuan Fengming to sit down at a table, the table was also rich in fish and meat, seeing Yuan Fengming give in, he didn't see outside, picked up a bowl of rice and ate it.

The flask on the table should be a promise from the sea of cars during the day. And everyone in the dart game was like they hadn't seen it, they were all eating their own food, and no one drank to Lin Yi's surprise.

After dinner, Lin Yi and the two dogs shared a room. It turned out that the room on the other side of the compound was where everyone slept.

Ergouzi and Lin Yi are also familiar with each other, and they know that this is a friend of the dart head, so they pulled him to find the room, let him take care of himself, and fell asleep alone. It seems that the carriage for a day is very hard.

Lin Yi closed the door with his hand. There is not much space in the house, there are two beds, and the two dogs have begun to snore lightly. I am not familiar with this county, and I am afraid of disturbing others under the pretext of going out, so I think about it.

Lin Yi blew out the oil lamp and lay down in his clothes. Faintly, there was a lively sound in his ears from a distance, and he couldn't sleep for a while, his curiosity rose, and his consciousness slowly unfolded, and he went out of the house, out of the courtyard.

The courtyard is where the cart is parked, and there is a stable not far away, and there are two men with knives standing at the gate of the courtyard, which should be the guards of the dart board. On a big tree in the corner of the courtyard wall, there is still a faint figure.

Lin Yi was puzzled, looked carefully, and saw that his expression was natural, and his clothes were the same as the two people in front of the courtyard, and he suddenly realized in his heart. This person and the two people in front of the courtyard should be one bright and one dark, and they should both be responsible for guarding.

If someone really invades over the wall, they can't hide from the eyes of the people on the trees. For this reason, Lin Yi secretly praised. The dart team is out and about, and it is well-managed, and it is really not bad.

On the avenue in front of the courtyard, cars and people come and go from time to time. The noise of people in the distance is where the wine shop and teahouse are located, and all kinds of people are shouting and drinking, coming and going, and it is very lively.

After practicing the "Refining Divine Jian", nearly a mile of land was shrouded in Lin Yi's divine sense, and I don't know where Mr. Su's friend got the "Refining Divine Jian". In the Xuantian Mind Method he practiced, the benefits of the powerful divine consciousness were mentioned, but there was no method for how to improve the divine consciousness. Originally, I only knew that only by increasing my cultivation would my divine sense increase accordingly, and "Refining the Divine Spirit" allowed me to find another way, which can be regarded as a great opportunity!

After checking around, when he gradually felt bored, dozens of feet in front of the courtyard gate, two people in a dark corner made Lin Yi feel a little strange. When the two whispered, they didn't forget to look at the Taiping Dart Bureau in the distance.

The voices of these two people were low, and as for what they were saying, he naturally couldn't hear them from such a distance. can only be curious, and use divine sense to carefully identify the appearance of the two. One was short and stocky, with a cautious expression, and the other was dark and thin, with a cunning look between his eyebrows.

After a few moments, the two went their separate ways.

Lin Yi retracted his senses, and intuitively felt that those two were not good people.
