It was only a short moment, and finally more than a dozen people walked into the tavern amid a commotion.

Seeing this, the clerk hurriedly smiled, and quickly got up to greet him, and then greeted everyone very warmly.

Gu Feng still sat in the same place, but he swept his eyes to see the situation of the group.

There were ten men and two women, all of whom were young and strong, and the two women were a middle-aged woman and a little girl who was only six or seven years old.

As soon as they entered the tavern, they each chose their seats and sat down, which made the already not spacious store immediately seem a little crowded, and when Gu Feng's gaze was about to be withdrawn, two people walked in from outside the door again, one of them was tall and strong, wearing black linen, and was only about thirty years old, but he had an inexplicable temperament that made him look mature and sophisticated.

The other person was also a young man, but he was wearing a cyan robe and carrying a silver long sword on his back, and the ancient wind divine sense swept away, and found that this person was actually a peak cultivator of the fifth order of condensation, and he unconsciously remembered what the clerk said just now, presumably this person was the so-called martial guard.

At this time, the entire tavern was almost full except for the wine table where Gu Feng was, and the middle-aged man in black linen only glanced at it slightly, and walked to the woman's side without a trace of hesitation.

The rest of the people who had already sat down saw that the young man with the sword on his back seemed to have no place, and almost all of them immediately got up to give way, but the man with the sword on his back did not move when he saw this, but looked around the entire tavern, and walked straight towards Gu Feng, and finally sat directly opposite Gu Feng.

The young man with the sword on his back raised his head arrogantly after sitting down, but when his gaze swept over Gu Feng, he was suddenly slightly stunned.

"Brother Tai is a cultivator?"

The arrogant look on the face of the young man with the sword on his back suddenly retracted, and he asked with a little hesitation.

"Daoyou is not far from breaking through, which is really gratifying. ”

Gu Feng smiled slightly, but said in a non-answerable way.

"How do you know this? Don't you ......?"

The young man with the sword on his back was stunned again when he heard this, but the next moment he seemed to think of something, and at the same time his face changed, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Gu Feng.

"There are many offenses to what happened just now, I hope the seniors will forgive me!"

The young man with the sword on his back was also decisive, and as soon as he judged that Gu Feng was a high-level monk, he immediately behaved extremely respectfully, and even apologized for his arrogant attitude just now.

"Why should cultivators be confined to small sections, Daoist friends sit down! I also have many things to ask Daoist friends for advice. ”

Gu Feng smiled and spoke, and the young man with the sword on his back hurriedly sat down again with a respectful face when he heard this.

The series of words and actions of the young man with the sword on his back and Gu Feng were naturally seen by the other dozen or so people, and now the eyes of the dozen or so people looking at Gu Feng seemed to be a little different, and the sturdy man in black linen hesitated slightly, and even got up and walked towards the Gu Feng wine table.

As for the clerk, he was also looking at Gu Feng blankly at this time, and his face was extremely complicated.

"I didn't expect to meet a martial artist again, it seems that Luo is really lucky in three lives!"

The elite man came to the ancient style table and said with a hearty smile.

"Brother Tai is too polite, in the ancient style, when I first arrived in this western border, I hope that a few brothers will take care of it. Gu Feng was very polite, got up and hugged his fist towards the strong man and replied.

In the next half an hour, the three of Gu Feng simply raised their glasses and drank together, and the strong man and the young man with the sword on his back trusted Gu Feng very much, and even told him everything about his situation.

The elite Han surnamed Luo Mingzheng is an ordinary merchant in the city of Fengdu, who specializes in reversing animal materials and various herbs for a living, as for the supply of animal materials and herbs, almost all of them were found by himself in this grassland by himself with his subordinates.

The young man with the sword on his back is named Lu Shen, who is a casual cultivator who specializes in serving as a military guard and earning commissions for a living.

"Since Brother Gu is alone, why don't you go with us? Don't hide it from Brother Gu, the next group of people is quite worried about the Black Wind Ridge ahead, but if there is Brother Gu to help, we will definitely be able to pass smoothly, and as for the remuneration, we can pay according to the market. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Oh, I don't know what is so sinister about that Black Wind Ridge? Isn't it enough to have Brother Lu to make a move......?"

Gu Fengyan asked with interest.

"Brother Gu doesn't know, if a few years ago, with the strength of the next person, it is indeed possible that most of them can successfully pass through the Black Wind Ridge, but now there is a new batch of robbers in the Black Wind Ridge, and the cultivation of the leader of them is unfathomable...... In fact, I originally had another Taoist friend who agreed to go with me, but due to some special reasons, I couldn't come as promised, so when we came, for the sake of safety, we chose to take a detour, although we walked hundreds of miles more, but we avoided the robbers of the Black Wind Ridge, but now our several carriages are all full, and it is really impossible to make a detour, if we don't meet the ancient brother today, I'm afraid we can only venture forward, or wait for other teams to go together. ”

Lu Shen replied with a bitter face.

"So that's the case, then I'm willing to help a few people, as for the reward, let's wait until after the Black Wind Ridge!"

Gu Feng thought about it for a while and gladly responded to this matter, in his mind, the Black Wind Ridge robbers were just a group of rabble, but if he could make friends with these people, it might be of some help to him what he wanted to investigate.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon on the third day, and at this time, Gu Feng and his group of fifteen people finally came to a hill and stopped one after another.

"Brother Gu, as long as you pass through the hill ahead, you will enter the realm of the Black Wind Ridge, I wonder if we should stop here for a while, and wait until night falls before hurrying, then we may be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the robbers and the fierce beasts in the mountains. ”

At this time, Luo Zheng, who was beside Gu Feng, looked into the distance, and turned to Gu Feng and said.

"Well, that's going to be a lot safer, so we'll make a little adjustment here. ”

Gu Feng nodded back.

In the next few hours, Gu Feng simply looked for a tree to close his eyes and meditate, while the rest of the people mostly gathered together to talk about some trivial matters.

During the three days of the same company, Gu Feng once mentioned the word "Tianjue" to Luo Zheng and Lu Shen, and the result was unexpected by Gu Feng, these two words seemed to be known to everyone in the entire western border.

The meaning of the word "Tianjue" needs to be traced back to a thousand years ago, when the western frontier was also extremely desolate and rarely visited, and even more so, this area was burning, looting, and demons were rife.

This situation was finally improved until one day, that day was the day of the Big Dipper, the scene of the beads began to appear, and the entire wind capital city suddenly appeared in the sky of "heavenly awakening, promoting good and punishing evil" eight big characters, so that tens of millions of people in the entire wind capital city all thought that it was the manifestation of gods and Buddhas, and the result was that after this incident, the entire western frontier seemed to be really calm, and the road of divine peace was born overnight.

However, the allusion of the word "Tianjue" did not stop there, in the following years, the word "Tianjue" was praised by 10,000 people at the same time, there were a large number of "Tianjue Temples" appeared, and were worshiped by 10,000 people with incense.

In the end, Lu Shen once said his guess: "Tianjue seems to be the language of Buddhism, and legend has it that when the word Tianjue was prosperous, many monks appeared in the entire western borderland, so many people think that this Tianjue is also the name of a certain Buddhist sect." ”

This remark triggered a lot of thinking about Gu Feng, and then coupled with Luo Zheng's last words - there seemed to be a hint of chaos in the western frontier again for hundreds of years, so that Gu Feng could roughly connect some key points together, and the next plan was largely formed.

Just when Gu Feng had been meditating for five hours, still thinking in his heart, a crisp child's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Uncle Gu, we're going to go through the Black Wind Ridge tonight, can Uncle promise Xiaoxiao one thing?"

Gu Feng slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, but saw a six- or seven-year-old girl in front of him looking at him with hope in her eyes, her eyelashes fanning slightly, looking very cute.

Seeing the girl, Gu Feng unconsciously showed a smile on her face, this woman's name was Luo Xiaoxiao, and she was the daughter of Luo Zheng and the woman.

As for why a woman and a girl were allowed to go with the team, Gu Feng also asked Luo Zheng, according to Luo Zheng's words, they traveled and often had to go in and out of some very dangerous areas, so injuries were inevitable, and the woman happened to be proficient in medical skills, so she went with the team, so she could treat the injuries of the injured in the team at any time;

After three days of getting along, Gu Feng and Xiaoxiao have long been familiar with each other, this woman is lively and active, smart and clever, very likable, and is deeply cared for by a group of people.

"Is there anything Xiaoxiao would like to say to my uncle? As long as my uncle can do it, he will definitely agree to Xiaoxiao. Gu Feng smiled and spoke, and gently pulled Xiaoxiao in front of him.

"Uncle, after we enter the Black Wind Ridge tonight, can you protect my father and mother more! ”

The girl's face was obviously happy when she heard Gu Feng's words, and then she spoke directly.

"Oh, Uncle will definitely protect Xiaoxiao's parents, Xiaoxiao came here to tell me about this?"

Gu Feng was slightly surprised at this time, and unconsciously asked.

"Yes, as long as my uncle agrees to me, then I'll go play by myself." ”

Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Feng should deal with this matter, and she didn't feel a smile, and then she broke free of Gu Feng's hands and turned around and ran away.

"Why is this girl so strange......

When Xiaoxiao had already run away, Gu Feng didn't realize that he was talking to himself, Xiaoxiao's behavior seemed a little abnormal to him, but Gu Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally just shook his head and smiled, it seems normal for a girl to care about the safety of her parents, especially for a smart girl like Xiaoxiao, it seems to be more reasonable.

When Gu Feng continued to meditate for two hours, the time had already come to midnight, and at this time, Luo Zheng finally gathered everyone together and woke up Gu Feng to immediately pass through the Black Wind Ridge.

More than ten people took advantage of the hazy moonlight to move forward, the speed was not slow, less than two hours, more than 50 miles, and did not break the tranquility of the night at all.

The road has been more than halfway out, Luo Zheng and the others finally felt a lot more relaxed in their hearts, in their expectations, as long as they go forward for another hour, they can successfully pass through the Black Wind Ridge, and the next road will be smooth all the way until they return to Fengdu City.

However, when the group traveled more than ten miles again, Gu Feng's face suddenly became gloomy, and at the same time, he whispered to Luo Zheng and Lu Shen beside him.

Luo Zheng and Lu Shen suddenly turned pale when they heard the words of the ancient style, and hurriedly motioned for the rest of the people to stop, but it was only a moment, and a torch suddenly lit up in front of more than a dozen people, and five middle-aged people appeared in the field of vision of more than a dozen people.
