The winter rain was dripping, and it was foggy as far as the eye could see, and the temperature was obviously higher than that in Broken Flow City, but everyone felt a chill.

"Where is this?" Yang Qingyin used a spell to evaporate the rain next to her, she didn't like her clothes to be wet.

Mu Xingqiu, Bald, Xin Youtao, Xiao Qingtao and Sun Yulu also looked around blankly, only Zuo Liuying looked down at the muddy ground under his feet, as if it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a bad road condition.

They stood on a country road, looking out over the sky, surrounded by rolling hills, lush vegetation, and no one in sight. There were too many mountain peaks, and the Heavenly Eyes could penetrate the rain curtain, but they couldn't bypass the real obstacles, and they could only look more than ten miles away.

"Is this the Ranjing Mountain?" Xin Youtao raised his hand to cover his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but the disgust expression on his face was obvious.

"It's not Ranjing Mountain. Sun Yulu replied, the only thing she was sure of was that Zuo Liuying had brought them to the south, and she couldn't recognize them.

Ten days ago, Zuo Liuying drew up a plan in Broken Flow City, that is, everyone followed him and was not allowed to ask anything. He assigned tasks to the five Taoist priests: Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao were responsible for dealing with people, and the first seat of the Forbidden Secret Department had no intention of contacting the outside world and did not care about chores; Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin were in charge of the guards, and the Taoist priests were not afraid of any enemy, but Zuo Liuying's injuries were still very serious, and he thought that fighting was a very boring thing, and he would rather leave it to others to do it for him unless he had to; Sun Yulu also had a task, ready to contact the Taoist priests of the Lantern and Candle Branch at any time.

The Great Soul Master and the others left Broken Flow City in advance, and they had to hide and only appear after receiving Zuo Liuying's summons.

In addition, Zuo Liuying did not reveal a word about his entire plan, and then let everyone rest, and did not tell the date of departure, and on the morning of the tenth day, he walked out of the room. Looking up at the blue sky high and far away, he stretched out his hand to feed the three-headed unicorn some gold and silver crumbs, and called out several Pang Shan disciples and Sun Yulu through the mouth of Guò Lan Qizhang, and then said in person: "Let's go." ”

So a few people who weren't ready followed suit, Zuo Liuying cast a spell with injuries, and after flashing more than a dozen times, he finally stopped in a strange place in the smoke and rain, but fortunately, the commonly used things were in the bag, so he wouldn't be too busy.

"This is the country of waves. Zuo Liuying finally spoke, and her voice was much more natural than when she spoke for the first time. "Bypassing the mountain in front, two hundred miles away should be Treading Wave City. ”

"Oh. Sun Yulu suddenly, "This is the Lianhai Mountain in the northwest of Talang City, this mountain has always led to the sea, hence the name, more than 1,000 miles southwest is the chaotic Jing ......"

Zuo Liuying raised his arm and interrupted Sun Yulu unceremoniously, "You can introduce it when everyone is free, let's go to Treading Wave City before sunset today." ”

"Why do you want to go to Treading Wave City, why don't you go directly to Ranjing Mountain?" Mu Xingqiu had to ask to understand. The bald man on his shoulder nodded again and again, cheering for Brother Xiaoqiu.

Zuo Liuying didn't answer, and said to Xin Youtao, "I need a carriage." Then he said to the little green peach, "I need mortal clothes." ”

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao were stunned, and they couldn't go to the village or the store. There seemed to be no one for a few dozen miles, and they had prepared gold and silver, but they couldn't buy anything.

Mu Xingqiu walked up to Zuo Liuying, "We have to know the purpose of this trip." ”

"Find a helper. Zuo Liuying's appearance is younger and immature than Mu Xingqiu. If it weren't for the indifference on his face, he seemed to be frightened, but he would only answer these three words.

Mu Xingqiu looked at each other. How could the first seat of the Pangshan Forbidden Secret Section have helpers in such a place?

The country of treading waves is the place where the disciples are accepted in the chaotic Jing Mountain, and Sun Yulu should be more familiar with this place, so the puzzled eyes of several Taoist priests are on her, Sun Yulu is a person who has been a capital sect, but in front of Zuo Liuying, she is no different from an ordinary little Taoist priest, shrugged her shoulders, and said that she didn't know anything.

Yang Qingyin suddenly pointed to the back: "No need to look for a carriage." ”

There was a hoof sound in the crackling rain, and it was a group of mortals.

Sun Yulu stretched out her arms to block a few people behind her, and quickly cast a spell, I don't know how many times better than Yang Qingyin's disguise technique, in the blink of an eye, she herself became a sixty or seventy-year-old woman, holding a cane, and the other five people, including Zuo Liuying, did not change their appearance, but the clothes on their bodies were transformed into ordinary people's clothes, men's short clothes and trousers, women's cloth skirts, in order to be realistic, everyone had an extra burden on their shoulders, and they didn't know what was inside, only Mu Xingqiu knew that his burden was a bald man's head.

Such an illusion can only deceive the eyes of mortals, and it cannot hide the Taoist priest who has the heavenly purpose.

Mu Xingqiu glanced around and said to Zuo Liuying, "You have leaked a flaw." ”

Zuo Liuying glanced at him, and had to let the rain drip on his clothes, and soon he was soaking wet like everyone else.

The horse team arrived, a total of twenty knights, escorted by a carriage in the middle, the knights were all wearing the armor of the Yellow Fu Army, apparently coming from the Holy Fu Dynasty, and found a small group of people on the side of the road, they stopped.

Xin Youtao was just about to step forward to speak, but Sun Yulu motioned for her to come, staggered over, and said to the knight in front: "General, it's okay, take us for a ride." ”

The knight's voice came from inside the helmet, it seemed to be not young, it was a veteran, "Who are you?"

"Our family went from the village in Qianshan to Treading Wave City to look for relatives, but we didn't expect that the road was rainy and trapped here. ”

"Family?" the knight was a little confused, an old woman and five young men and women of about the same size did not look like a family, and their temperament did not look like an ordinary peasant village girl.

Mu Xingqiu took a step forward, "This is grandma, we are all her grandchildren, and we are going to Treading Wave City to find my father and a few uncles." ”

Sun Yulu should be eighty or ninety years old, Mu Xingqiu and the others are all twenty-one or twelve years old, there is nothing wrong with being her grandchildren, only Zuo Liuying, who is more than twice as old as several of them combined, and is also classified as a grandson by Mu Xingqiu.

The knight looked at it a few times, "We're not a caravan, don't bring outsiders, avoid, let's pass." ”

"We pay, you just have to make an offer. Xin Youtao immediately spoke, sighing in his heart, he was a prince in his dignity, and he was reduced to the point of bargaining with others in the rain.

The knight hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "It's not about money. ”

Xin Youtao was about to take out the gold and silver. A knight ran from the horse team and said in a loud voice: "The master has an order, it is not easy to go out, take them with you on the road." ”

The first knight shook his head slightly, obviously reluctant, but still ordered a few horses to be vacated, Mu Xingqiu pointed to Sun Yulu and Zuo Liuying and said, "Grandmother is old, my ...... My cousin is sick, and we are going to Treading Wave City to seek medical advice, can we let the two of them get in the car?"

Zuo Liuying refused to look sick. Sun Yulu coughed twice on crutches, looking more and more old and weak.

"You really have to know what ......is in the car," the leading knight did not continue, but asked another knight to inquire about the owner of the car.

Soon an order came out of the car, allowing the old and the young to get in the car and go together.

The horse team returned to the road, Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao rode together, and Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao rode together, following behind the carriage. After walking a little way, Xin Youtao whispered, "This carriage can hold at least ten people. The pie is not small, and it is guarded by twenty soldiers of the Yellow Fu Army...... I guess the owner of the car is a noble son who came to the country of Treading Waves to play or visit relatives, and it should be the son of the prince. ”

The bald man in the baggage said, "Let me see ......"

Xin Youtao hurriedly booed a few times to shut up the bald man.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't recognize the pomp and circumstance of the nobles. He thought of something else, "Zuo Liuying stopped in this kind of ghost place, wouldn't he be waiting for this team?"

Xin Youtao nodded approvingly, although there were a large number of prohibitions in the capitals of the vassal states. All kinds of flights will be discovered, but the range is only more than 100 miles, but Zuo Liuying is stopped 200 miles away. It's really a little strange, "Then the origin of this 'master' must be not small, but he only brought twenty guards, which is too little." ”

"Could this be the helper Zuo Liuying is looking for?" Xiao Qingtao asked softly behind Yang Qingyin.

"It didn't take long to know. Mu Xingqiu replied in a low voice, becoming more and more disgusted with Zuo Liuying's tricks.

The rain has been falling, not too big or small, the horse team has to travel carefully on the slippery and muddy road, especially when going downhill, it has to slow down, it is located in the mountains, and it is frequently uphill and downhill, Zuo Liuying wants to rush to Treading Wave City before nightfall, it is absolutely impossible.

"They don't even use talismans, it's not like a nobleman. The more Xin Youtao observed, the more confused he became, he had the impression that all nobles relied on the convenience provided by the talisman, especially in this kind of weather, the help of the talisman was even more important.

Turning a hill, the horse team turned onto the main road, which was smoother, but the rain was heavier.

Mu Xingqiu whispered: "Something is not right, these people are leading us in the wrong direction." ”

Yang Qingyin, who was walking side by side, turned sideways, revealing a small piece of candle in his hand, and the flames swayed in circles, indicating that someone in the team was secretly casting spells.

Mu Xingqiu glanced at it with his heavenly eyes, and immediately understood that the wide road under their feet was an illusion caused by spells, and the horse team was actually walking on a field road several feet wide, but the non-stop rain was real, and it was excellent to hide the traces of spells.

The four inhaling Taoist priests made eye contact, Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao Jian were safe, this group of people did not know whether they were friends or enemies, there were Zuo Liuying and Sun Yulu, they didn't need to worry, but Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin had other ideas: Since Zuo Liuying let them be in charge of guarding, the two of them didn't want to sit and wait for the senior Taoist priest to make a move, and they didn't want to be kept in the dark.

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao quickly succumbed, and when they needed to make an idea, they couldn't compete with the other two.

Mu Xingqiu took Xin Youtao to urge the horse to speed up, and caught up with the carriage in front of him in a few steps, and the seven or eight cavalrymen behind immediately followed, shouting "retreat", Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao jumped up, taking the opportunity to cast a spell, fireballs and ice spikes flew together in the rain, and Mu Xingqiu also swung a long whip and threw it at the nearest knights.

The battle immediately began, twenty cavalrymen were on guard and quickly flew into the sky, five of them reacted slowly, and were hit by the spell of the Taoist priest of Pang Shan and fell to the ground hard, while the others cast spells to fight back.

The crowd is quite close to each other, and it is more dangerous than ordinary fighting methods, and spells often pass by, and the slightest carelessness will be hit.

"It's a group of loose cultivators!" Xiao Qingtao shouted loudly, recognizing the other party's gorgeous techniques and scattered cultivation all the way.

Xin Youtao was the only defender among the four, and he was slightly flustered in the face of more than a dozen spells, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, and ...... the people in the car"

The curtain of the car was opened, revealing the face of a strange old woman, who was not surprised by the spells outside, "Daoist Pangshan really likes to fight, everyone should stop." ”

When the scattered cultivators heard the order, Mu Xingqiu landed on the horse, still holding the whip in his hand, "Who are you?"

The old woman let out a long hum, as if she was considering whether to answer, and then she said: "I am Zuo Liuying's aunt, and I am also the person he hates the most, and I am still a traitor to the Dao system, and the life and death mage king of the nine thousand monks of Lianhaishan. ”
