Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Point of No Return
The Tianlong faction sent everyone all the way forward, and the vendors behind followed closely, if they were about to leave.
Leaving Wangxi Town, walking for less than an hour, the rocks on both sides of the mountain road are steep, but the mountain road is still wide, and the passage is unhindered. Behind Lin Yi's carriage, there were four more inner disciples on horseback. The expressions of the people also became solemn.
The mountain road is winding and rugged, with cliffs facing each other on both sides, and the group seems to be walking through the belly of the mountain. The carriages and horses could not walk fast, so they could only follow the mountain road and move forward.
"This mountain road is 100 miles long, quite difficult to walk, and is called 'sad Baijie Wangxi Road'. Look at this winding mountain road, it really seems to be sad, but the name of this Wangxi Road is not very auspicious!"
It seems that there is no thing in the world that the true Yuanzi does not know.
Lin Yi couldn't help asking, "What's the explanation?"
It was rare for this kid to take the initiative to speak, Zhen Yuanzi was quite complacent, and said with a smile: "In the early years, the war in the western frontier was chaotic, and the soldiers traveled west through here to fight in the frontier. The battlefield is tragic, and the strong man buries his bones. Those who go to the west, there is not a single one in a hundred, few people turn around, some people sigh, look at the west road, hesitate, strong men will not return in a hundred battles!"
Lin Yi was silent when he heard this, and Zhen Yuanzi sighed with emotion.
A strong wind swirls through the narrow valley, which seems to have a sonorous sound, and conceals the meaning of Jin Ge Iron Horse, which makes people awe-inspiring.
......
Two hours later, the group had walked no more than a few dozen miles, and in front of them was a slightly larger valley, and Elder Meng waved everyone to get off their horses and rest.
At this time, the pale yellow sun hung overhead, and a whirlwind blew around him from time to time, with a whimpering sound like a devil's cry, which made people feel uneasy.
The Celestial Dragon sent everyone in a circle.
There is an indescribable strangeness in this valley, and even in the daytime, it is difficult to relax.
Lin Yi leaned in front of the car, still holding the wine gourd, taking a small sip, but his eyes looked back and forth.
seems to have a heart with Lin Yi, and Zhen Yuanzi also glances into the distance from time to time.
The vendors behind followed, and when they saw that the people of the Tianlong Sect were resting on their own, their expressions were a little nervous, so they stopped moving forward. The group of people was no more than seven or eight feet away, huddled together, cowering and huddled together, like a group of countrymen who had never seen the world.
After the Tianlong faction finished eating and drinking, packed their bags, led the horses in the valley, and walked back and forth in small steps, making preparations before departure.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Elder Meng and the inner disciples approached this group of vendors.
Lin Yi looked carelessly, and among the inner disciples, only Mu Qing'er and Senior Sister Xu stayed where they were. His heart moved, and he couldn't help but look back at Zhen Yuanzi.
Lao Dao's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly.
Lin raised his eyebrows, ignoring the deep meaning in his eyes.
Zhen Yuanzi scolded secretly, this stinky boy!
In the blink of an eye, Elder Meng and everyone had already surrounded the group of vendors.
The vendors noticed that something was wrong, and their cowering expressions disappeared in an instant, and one by one their eyes showed a fierce light, and their expressions became arrogant.
"Hmph! Kill those with ill intentions in my Heavenly Dragon Sect, there is no mercy!" Elder Meng suddenly shouted and struck first. The red robe on his body was changed to that worn by ordinary people, but his skills were still fast and ruthless. The inner disciple was also in an instant, the long sword was unsheathed, and the sword light was flying.
Knowing that his whereabouts were revealed, the vendors no longer hid, but tore open the sleeves of their robes one by one and took out their weapons from their bodies.
In the valley, the sword suddenly danced, and the blood shone brightly.
The sound of whimpering wind is mixed with the sound of scolding, and the howl of the devil is endless......
After the tea work, the hustle and bustle in the valley was suffocating.
The stumps and broken arms all over the ground, the blood stains are everywhere, and it is unbearable......
These inner disciples are not something that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can resist, and more than a dozen traders are all dead on the spot. And the people of the Heavenly Dragon Sect did not have a single casualty.
Elder Meng's face was calm, and he arranged for his disciples to clean up the corpses, seeing that he was calm and undisordered, and his demeanor was modest, this robbery should have been decided a long time ago.
"Wangxi Road, the point of no return, miserable!miserable!miserable!" Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and sighed.
"You knew this would be the case?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.
In the rivers and lakes, the Tianlong faction has always forbearance, which made Lin Yi mistakenly think that the Tianlong faction is taking the right path and practicing benevolence and righteousness! Unexpectedly, this is just an illusion.
The tiger is dormant, just for a thunderous blow! The Tianlong faction acts viciously, and it should be the first in the world. Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a chill!
Zhen Yuanzi sighed quietly: "The rivers and lakes are all profit-seeking people, even if the old way knows, what can I do?"
"Aren't you also from the rivers and lakes?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.
"Yes! Lao Dao is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself. But Lao Dao's heart is not in the rivers and lakes, who can understand?" said Zhen Yuanzi with emotion.
Lin Yi silently looked at the busy crowd. He looked at Mu Qing'er and saw that his face was calm. Only Senior Sister Xu, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her face was unbearable.
"Boy, have you moved your heart of compassion?" Zhen Yuanzi walked up to Lin Yi and said with a smile.
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Since it is a knife licking blood, what is the difference between killing and being killed?"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "What if someone wants to kill you?"
"Then it's done!" Lin Yi said lightly.
"Seeing the way you look, could it be that your kid has also killed people?" asked Zhen Yuanzi shaking his head. Who can a coachman kill?
"Hehe! The old way is also ridiculous, how dare you kill a coachman? However, in the face of blood and not moving, it can be seen that you have good courage, hehe!"
Lin Yi closed his mouth tightly and did not say a word.
There are no corpses in the valley, only patches of blood-red on the ground, mottled and eye-catching, witnessing a massacre that has just passed.
Meng Shan came to Zhen Yuanzi, smiled apologetically, and said with a fist: "I just disturbed the Dao Chief." Yesterday, I got a warning that this gang of thieves had bad intentions, so I punished them today, without informing the Taoist chief in advance, and I hope the Taoist chief will forgive me!"
Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Why does Elder Meng need to be like this! The future is far away, and there are twists and turns, which is also what the old Taoist does not want to see. It's a pity that the old man didn't know what was going on, and he hesitated, so he couldn't make a move, but he asked Elder Meng to laugh at him."
"The Taoist speaks, Meng likes to listen!" Meng Shan held his short hair in his hand, laughed and left. Zhen Yuanzi's smile did not change, and her bearing was calm.
Lin Yi said secretly, this Elder Meng seems to be rough and arrogant, but his scheming is not inferior to the old way. None of these ** lakes are easy to get along with.
Yao Zi carried a long sword with blood, walked past Lin Yi with his head held high, and shook off a sword flower like a show-off, and threw it over with a bead of blood.
Lin Yi lowered his head to tidy up his brins, as if he was unintentional, but he happened to avoid the blood beads.
Yao Zi's face was slightly stunned, this stinky boy is lucky!
......
The car was slow, and Yuan Feng and Yuan Qing couldn't stand the bumps, so they simply got out of the car and walked. The two of them were very proud of themselves and disdained to associate with everyone. The people of the Tianlong Sect also did not like the arrogance of the two. This Yuan Feng and Yuan Qing can only guard the carriage of Master and Lin Yi.
"Master, how is our martial arts superior to these disciples?" Yuan Qing couldn't help but ask. Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said: "To be competitive is to lose first." Even if the martial arts are not bad, but the heart is impetuous, and the mind is unstable, how can he show his own skills. In this way, if you don't win, you'll be defeated!"
Yuan Qing's face turned red, and he said, "Master's teachings, disciples have remembered them!"
"Master, you always say something fair! Don't weaken your own heart, if you have a heart disorder, it will not be conducive to the improvement of your disciple's martial arts!" Yuan Feng said unconvinced.
Zhen Yuanzi said in a deep voice: "Those who cultivate the Tao should be different from the worldly people, and they should be more understanding. Sweeping the floor and white clouds came, and the obstacle was lifted before the effort was made. Chisel the pond into the bright moon, and the empty realm can grow by itself. Why don't you have a reason to ask for trouble? If you want to be fair to the teacher, your two martial arts are not inferior to any of them. But it's your heart that has fallen behind. What a monk in vain!"
Yuan Feng scratched his head and smiled: "I know that I am wrong!"
"You can change your mistakes, you are very good! Old Dao, you have accepted a good apprentice!" Lin Yi said coldly, making Zhen Yuanzi cry and laugh. Such a young coachman, but old-fashioned, helped him teach his apprentice a lesson.
Yuan Qing's eyes widened: "Boy, do you have the right to speak?" Yuan Feng was also angry, and glared at Lin Yi with cold eyes.
Lin Yi sat in front of the car, neither raising his whip nor riding his horse, shaking his head with the car, and said softly: "I talk to Lao Dao, what are you talking about?"
Zhen Yuanzi's face stiffened a little, revealing bitterness.
"What kind of person my master is, how can you compare!" Yuan Qing said angrily.
"Didn't your master just teach two apprentices?" Lin Yi muttered. He was used to arguing with this old man along the way, and he was even more pretending to be a fool of himself with these two apprentices.
"You are a coachman, how do you know the demeanor of the masters in the rivers and lakes, my master is admired by the people in the rivers and lakes!" Yuan Qing mentioned his master, his expression was full of arrogance and pride.
"Then I also have apprentices! I'm also a master!" This Yuan Qing is different from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and his temperament is much more straightforward, although Lin Yi is cold, he has the meaning of ridicule.
Yuan Qing laughed, shook his head and said, "You kid, you are full of nonsense, I have never heard that the coachman still has an apprentice!"
Lin Yi snorted: "Believe it or not!"
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "Boy, you have an apprentice, the old Taoist may believe it." It's just that how old is your apprentice now, and how does it compare to these two unsuccessful apprentices of Lao Dao?"
Seeing that his apprentice was clumsy and couldn't take advantage, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to master and laugh at the other party.
Lin Yi glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "My apprentice is eleven years old this year, compare your apprentice in his twenties with my eleven-year-old apprentice." Old man, you deserve to be a master. But don't get complacent. Four or five years later, you two apprentices will not be my apprentice's opponent together!"
Hearing what Lin Yi said, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but turn around and said, "You really have an apprentice?"
Lin Yi shook his body, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "I, Lin Yi, haven't told a lie yet." Listen to the truth as a lie, and there is only a master like you!"
Yuan Feng Zhengse on the side reprimanded: "Don't you be disrespectful to my master, don't you regard my senior brother as absent?"
Lin squinted at the corner of his eyes and snorted: "Your master claims to be an old man, what are you doing with me?" My name is Lin Yi, and I don't call myself a stinky boy. Not to mention how much my master and apprentice took advantage of me, you still called the sky to bend up. When my apprentice is not around, he can't deceive me like this?"
Zhen Yuanzi couldn't cry or laugh, this Lin didn't speak, and he didn't spare people when he opened his mouth. Bisheng is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and his tongue does not allow others.
