Chapter 5: Ten Miles South of the City

A fire burned the city lord's mansion with chickens and dogs jumping, people on their backs, and also burned the shops and vendors on the street in front of the mansion to secretly applaud and celebrate!

"Grandma's let you be powerful, fish and meat country!" Even the well-mannered fortune teller couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"Oh, sir, be careful...... Woe comes from the mouth......"

"What are you afraid of him? In my opinion, there was a rain last night, and today coincides with this fire, which is the will of God!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Leave the bottom and put it up, and the fire is the revolution. This is a harbinger...... "I Ching" has clouds: reform and innovation, the gentleman to rule the calendar. It seems that the dispelling of the scabies and the removal of serious problems must be just around the corner!

The fortune teller and passer-by here sighed with emotion, but the city lord's mansion over there was already a ghost crying wolf howling, and it became a pot of porridge.

Everywhere the fire passed, there was scorched wood, fly ash, and broken walls. The pavilions and pavilions that have been built over the years and spent thousands of people to build, along with countless calligraphy and paintings, treasures, and treasures, have all been burned down.

Lord Yin of the Mansion was pale, and ordered people to find a few vacant houses that had not been overburned, first settled a group of wives and concubines and children, and then let the personal guards lead his subordinates to search the ruins as soon as possible to see what else was valuable and available, and then urgently ordered Li Yuan to come to the mansion to discuss countermeasures without mentioning it.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. For the time being, he pressed this angry Fu Yin, but said that Yang Ao was still hiding his figure with the mixed yuan spirit sword and a large bag of treasures, and patted his horse out of the city.

Approaching the city pass, I happened to meet a caravan, more than ten camels and horses were connected in a string, and they were hugging in the city gate hole to go out of the city. Yang Ao had an idea, mixed the black horse into the caravan, and squeezed out of the city gate together.

As soon as he stepped through the moat with his front feet, and before he could get out of the place of an arrow, he heard someone behind him urging his horse to arrive, and shouted loudly: "There is an order to go up to the peak! Close the city gate quickly!"

How could those caravans that had already left the city turn around and go back again? Who knows how long the city gate will be delayed once it is closed! So they did not care about the call from within the city, and they raised their whips and shouted, and drove their camels and horses to the south of the city. Most of the soldiers guarding the city were old and frail, and they had no emergency preparations in advance, so they could only watch the team disappear into the increasingly hot morning sun.

Yang Ao was also secretly glad: as expected, the first trick that Haotian City could think of when dealing with the accident was to "close the city". It was correct to let Uncle Zhang escort his sister out of the city in the first place, otherwise, it would have to take a lot of trouble at this moment.

So, what follow-up will these gangsters follow up after the lockdown of the city? At present, it is estimated that it is nothing more than "searching" and "pursuing." On the one hand, the governor will search my hiding place in the city...... It seems that not only is it difficult to protect the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau itself, but also those businesses and inns that have had good friendships in the past will inevitably have trouble. On the other hand, they will send men out of the city in search of me......

"Hateful!" Yang Ao shook the reins, pedaled the horse, and urged the black horse to gallop south. Although he can temporarily evade Fu Yin's pursuit through stealth and blindness, the long-term use of the spells of the Heavenly Clan Yuan Shen in the human realm will not only have an unpredictable impact on the time and space of the three worlds of people, gods, and demons, but also cause a huge loss to his own sword power cultivation.

Just like now, Yang Ao had clearly felt that the divine breath in his body was rapidly weakening, and he was no longer able to use the stealth technique. Since coming to the human realm through the time and space of ten thousand tribulations last night, the primordial god has been very weak. Later, he repaired the physical injuries of the snatch one after another, and drove many secret methods such as stealth, blindness, and mixed element tricks, which greatly reduced his sword power at present, and he may have slipped from the second peak of the "Sword Emperor" to the fourth level of "Sword Venerable"!

He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it, at this moment, the most important thing was to hurry up and catch up with Xiaomei and Uncle Zhang, because only in this way could he have the courage to continue to live......

That familiar and unfamiliar voice is in my ears again!

"Don't be, Emperor, I only hope you stick to the Yuan Shen and fight to the end!"

Yes, I have to hold on!

I can't die!!

Almost relying on the support of willpower, Yang Ao bumped all the way on horseback, but he did not fall to the ground. And the dark horse is also like synaesthesia human nature, without too much traction, and runs to the south of the city. In less than a moment, he has arrived at the post station ten miles away - Laojun Cave.

Because he couldn't be invisible, he didn't know how many spies or eyeliners from the City Lord's Mansion had been planted in this rural place, so Yang Ao deliberately found a wide hat and windproof mask to put on along the way, and changed his clothes to hide his original face for the time being.

There are several theories about the origin of Laojun Cave.

Said that a long time ago there was a huge Xianfu cave here, Taishang Laojun rode the bull west out of the letter to the valley pass, and did come here to realize the way, and then I don't know why this cave blessed land gradually annihilated, the local people can not explore it many times, but people are still used to call it "Laojun Cave".

Second, the word "Laojun" is purely false, and it should be a homonym for "Lao Jun". A certain generation of generals in the previous dynasty once poured fine wine into the cave spring here, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, so it was called "Laojun Cave".

In addition, it is also said that the place is steep in mountains, dense mountains and forests, rich in all kinds of wild mushrooms, especially the old mushroom spirit grass in a hidden cave can prolong life, dispel diseases and eliminate evil, is worshiped as "divine grass", and called this place "old fungus", and later falsely named the current name.

The reason why I spent some pen and ink to elaborate on the various origins of this Laojun Cave is mainly to explain the complexity of the boundary here. Although it is only ten miles away from the south of the city, all kinds of people from all over the world, three religions and nine streams, are mixed in this small post station, playing in secret.

Now, Yang Ao, the former young sword emperor and the young master darthead, came to Laojun Cave with the blazing fire of revenge, and also came to the first post station that would affect his future fate.

......

Follow the pre-agreed location to a secluded manor. This was originally a separate business built by the ancestors of the Yang family, called Jianxin Villa, which has been abandoned and dilapidated because it has not been taken care of for many years. Above the gatehouse, the grass was all over the place, and two old crows fluttered their wings and stared at a pair of strange red eyes, as if they were quite unfamiliar with the arrival of the young man and the black horse.

Two wooden doors, almost off the frame, hang an open copper lock. I pushed it twice, and found that the deadbolt had been inserted inside. Next to the gate was a low wall of rammed loess, which had also collapsed in half, revealing a grinning pile foundation. Yang Ao "knocked" and snapped the door knocker more than a dozen times, one long and two short, repeated three times, but no one answered in the hospital for a long time.

Looking at the sky, the sun was already hanging three poles, Yang Ao couldn't help but wonder in his heart: It is said that my sister and Uncle Zhang set off early in the caravan, and now they should be hiding here, why did I use the code to slam the door and still refuse to respond? Could it be that they encountered something unexpected on the road? However, if they have not yet arrived here, why has the padlock outside this gate been opened and the deadbolt has been inserted from the inside?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and even more worried. After checking the surroundings and seeing that no one was following, he stabilized the black horse, raised his foot and stepped on the horse's back, and suddenly climbed into the courtyard wall.
