Chapter 100: All the Way West (1)

He Yuanying's cultivation in the sect, whether it is alchemy or comprehension of the formation path, is uncertain, and the result is half the effort. After coming out of the cave this time, she suddenly became enlightened! Her heart was bright, and she knew that she was really in the dust!

In fact, He Yuanying's Hongchen experience this time was very different from the purpose of most of the disciples! She was not trying to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, nor was she trying to break through the bottleneck, because she could break through to the Jindan stage at any time!

The real purpose of her trip this time is to be Hongchen, of course, she also wants to take out her hidden treasures in the northwest prairie, save you a lot of dreams at night, and add to the changes!

When he came to the secular world, He Yuanying did not hesitate, and went directly to the west. Habitually, He Yuanying began to dress as a man again.

She put on a delicate mask and disguised herself as a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, whose face seemed to be thirty or forty years old, with a bit of honesty in her roughness.

This makeup will be maintained for a long time, and we can't wait to take it lightly! He Yuanying took out the mirror and looked at it, and saw that his petite figure was in stark contrast to his rough face, which looked indescribably funny!

Facing the mirror, He Yuanying used the transformation and appearance in the secret technique of practicing the body, the joints and bones of the whole body exploded, the figure gradually increased, the body gradually became thicker, and even the finger joints became thicker, and there were calluses, this secret technique is really magical!

He Yuanying put on a coarse linen robe, and turned his voice into a rich baritone, which matched this figure and honest face even more.

Since he is dressed as a person in the rivers and lakes, he can't do without his outfit. He Yuanying walked to a nearby town, bought some necessities, made them into a large package, and spent half a day to build a broadsword in a blacksmith shop and put it on his back.

He Yuanying appeared on the road, with a slight wind and frost on his face, like a one-legged businessman who had been running around. It's just a pair of big eyes with an extraordinary look, and there is a faint convincing bearing.

As for the name, with the embarrassment she blurted out last time, He Yuanying had already prepared this time, she didn't dare to borrow Xia Kai's name again! This time, in her heart, she had a faint premonition of reuniting with Xia Kai, and then the joke would be big!

He Yuanying is used to impersonation, and when she was dressed as a man in the Yunlong Continent, she borrowed the name of her eldest brother. But she had a faint sense of awe in her heart for the eldest brother He Qing in this life, and she didn't dare to offend. made the second brother the target of impersonation.

The dress of this one-legged trader is actually not very suitable for traveling far, because the one-legged trader is generally near Shili and Eight Villages, there is no potential safety hazard, and the people on the roadside are familiar with their faces, so they dare to walk alone.

He Yuanying's goal this time is to go to the Northwest Prairie and take out the items he has sealed, which is thousands of miles away, and the identity of a one-legged merchant is naturally not suitable.

At that time, the long-distance traffic was a large caravan organized spontaneously by merchants, and the foot strength was mainly mules and horses. On the main traffic routes, caravans often pass by.

It didn't take long for He Yuanying to gain the trust of others with his honest face and join a large caravan traveling westward.

In a large caravan, most of the people who join are regular customers, and if they are raw customers, they must have an introducer and a guarantor. He Yuanying has won the trust of a wealthy businessman, so he naturally has him as a guarantor.

After the caravan is established, the initiator of the caravan or the leader elected by everyone will come out to arrange the caravan's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Everyone who joins the caravan not only has to pay a certain fee, but also has to hold a certain position, and He Yuanying chose to keep vigil.

Long-distance trafficking is really not a simple matter, caravans travel overnight, there are both broad roads and mountain paths, and there are not a few dangers along the way!

High risk is often accompanied by high returns, this caravan is to trade in the northwest steppe, the goods are mainly tea, silk, porcelain and other items, the profit is as high as tens or hundreds of times, luring many people to embark on this dangerous road.

The caravans had to pass through the four countries of Great Chu, Datang, Daqin, and Daxia along the way, and for these caravans from different countries, the border gates of each country were all heavily taxed without exception, and although the merchants were in pain, they still had to grit their teeth and pay.

Because only when merchants pay taxes, the safety of their goods can be protected by this country, and a country will not cause diplomatic disputes over these goods!

Coming out of the mountain path and entering a border checkpoint, looking at the name of the pass, He Yuanying was surprised to find that the caravan had already stolen through the territory of the Great Tang Kingdom and arrived directly at the border of the Great Qin Kingdom.

He Yuanying thought about it for a while, and understood the reason, if the caravan traveled according to the normal channel, just the tax, let the goods they had worked so hard to traffick, and the profits fell to a level where the gains outweighed the losses, and no one would want to traffic long-distance traffic!

After entering the Great Qin Kingdom, because the customs duties were paid in full, the caravan embarked on the broad road again.

As night approached, the caravan settled outside a wealthy village, which was full of high gates and gates, but the caravan did not enter the interior of the village.

The caravan set up camp in a clearing not far from the village. The terrain was high, dry, smooth, and clean, and it should be the usual place for caravans.

The caravan does not enter the village, although it is not an established rule, but it is also a tacit understanding formed after a long time, and there is a reason for this!

One is that the caravan entered the village, and it was not in vain, and it had to pay some expenses, and there were many villages along the way, and the caravan did not want to add a lot of expenses out of thin air.

The second reason is that there have been bandits pretending to be caravans to enter the village to rob, and the village is also wary of the entry of strange caravans.

But when it comes to the caravan, it is not good to take in one and not the other, so they simply turned them all away, and provided a place to camp outside the village, which is very happy.

The caravans were camped in the villages, and there were generally acquaintances in the village, and the merchants entered the village in twos and threes.

Some of them go to buy some fresh vegetables, some go to sell some novelty knick-knacks, some go to the homes of acquaintances to drink and talk about old things, and some even merchants will go into the village in the dead of night to meet their lovers privately.

He Yuanying also strolled into the village, and as soon as he entered it, he felt that there was a suppressed mood in the Zhuangzi, and the expressions of the people in the village were also very strange.

She found a half-grown child, and after some inquiry, she found out that there was a "hanged ghost" in this Zhuangzi!

The half-grown man also pointed to the most palatial compound in the village and told He Yuanying that the owner of the village, the Gu family, had hanged three people in three days! After speaking, he also glanced at the newly built compound vigilantly, and seemed to be quite jealous of the owner of the new house!
