PS: Thank you for your support from Mamoru Nishikawa!

After all, it was a mortal caravan, not suitable for night travel, and when the sun was about to set, the caravan chose a place to settle and began to camp for the night.

The carriages formed a circle, vacated a central clearing, and set up tents. There are also people who have already started to make a fire to cook and prepare dinner.

Xiong Lin looked at the scene of everyone being busy and fireworks rising, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, how long has he not experienced such a mortal life, the worldly world of red dust and fireworks, and has not paid attention to it?

The way of cultivating immortals is beyond the mundane, but this red dust is rolling, is it really so easy to give up the entanglement of karma?

Xiong Lin remembered what Guo Qianshu said to him today, those things about the Xiuxian family.

In the Immortal Cultivation family, there are monks, but most of them are still mortals. And if the family wants to continue, mortals are indispensable.

And in this world of cultivating immortals, there are too many dangers, the power of mortals is too weak, and if the family wants to continue and develop, it needs the family's monks to protect and support the development of the family's mortal relatives.

Monks have this kind of magical means, but they can't completely replace the development of the family's mundane world, that is not support and protection, but pig raising!

Just like Guo Qianshu, with the family's caravan, the mortals who protect the family's caravan run the family's mortal business and maintain the family's prosperity and development.

He can only protect and support all the way, but he can't put all the goods into storage bags and then fly to several cities along the way to trade directly.

Instead, it requires ordinary relatives to do it themselves and develop it themselves. Otherwise, if the monks do it, they will only raise the family to ruin!

I have listened to some things about the Xiuxian family explained by Guo Qianshu. Xiong Lin inevitably thought of the Xiong family at this time.

The Xiong family can now be regarded as stepping on the development path of the Xiuxian family, but it is obvious that there are still many shortcomings.

There are few people in the Xiong family now. They all depend on the monks for their support.

Xiong Lin gave the care of Yan Miao Pavilion and the Shui family, as well as some care of Yiyuan Building...... Wait a minute.

Nowadays, there are few people in the Xiong family, so it's okay to go on like this. However, if the Xiong family wants to develop, if it wants to become a real immortal cultivation family, it will definitely not work like this.

Just like Guo Qianshu said, the mortals of the family need to work their own. They are the future of the family, not the waste of the family!

"Perhaps, starting with Xiong Jin, the next generation of the Xiong family will start to think about the continuation and development of the family......" Xiong Lin thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain, and there was not much starlight in the sky, and there was darkness between the heavens and the earth.

In the camp. Bonfires everywhere have begun to waft the aroma of all kinds of meat and food. The mortals of the caravan began to enjoy dinner.

Of course, the caravan also prepared a sumptuous and delicious dinner for each monk. Although they are all ordinary ingredients and do not have much aura, they are enough to satisfy some appetites.

Some of the monks refused. Some people who like the taste of the tongue will start to enjoy it directly. Xiong Lin also got a delicious dinner. He didn't refuse, he thought about it. Turning over his hand and taking out a jar of spirit wine, he brought the dinner sent by the caravan, he was going to find Guo Qianshu to have a drink, and continued to talk about the development of the Xiuxian family.

As soon as he got up, Xiong Lin found that Guo Qianshu had left his tent and walked towards the outside of the camp surrounded by carriages.

Xiong Lin looked at it suspiciously, and then found that the other party took out a few formation flags and arranged a formation outside the camp.

Although Xiong Lin's formation cultivation is not high, after all, he also inherited Master Fu Tianxue, and the senior sister also left her formation experience, Xiong Lin has also had a lot of understanding in the past two years, but it has made considerable progress.

Just by looking at it, he recognized that Guo Qianshu had only laid out a simple defense and early warning formation, and it didn't have much attack power.

After arranging the formation, Guo Qianshu came back and saw Xiong Lin holding a wine jar waiting for him, he couldn't help but shrug his nose and said with a smile: "Lin Daoyou, what kind of wine is this, it's so fragrant......"

Xiong Lin smiled and said: "It's just some self-brewed spirit wine, and I had a good conversation with Guo Daoyou today, which can make me grow a lot of knowledge, so bring some home-brewed spirit wine, and I want to drink with Daoyou while continuing to chat, it won't delay Daoyou, right?"

"Haha, it's okay......" Guo Qianshu shook his hand and said: "It's still very close to Huoyang City here, there is no danger, I just set up some formations, just in case......"

Xiong Lin nodded, and said in admiration: "I didn't expect that Daoist friends are also proficient in the way of formations. ”

"Hehe, if you run outside all the year round, you always have to know more......" Guo Qianshu said with a smile.

The two entered Guo Qianshu's tent, Xiong Lin took out the spirit wine, and began to drink and talk about the dinner that did not have much spiritual energy.

Xiong Lin mainly wanted the other party to ask for advice about all aspects of the Xiuxian family, and Guo Qianshu didn't hide anything, or what he said, it was all common to some Xiuxian families, as long as you pay attention to collecting, you will always get it.

The next day, in the early morning, the caravan was ready and continued on its way.

Xiong Lin didn't talk to Guo Qianshu this time, but meditated and practiced in the carriage all day, and at noon, the caravan didn't stop, just hurriedly ate some dry food he carried, and continued to set off.

They had to hurry as hard as they could, so that before night came, they would feel the camp they had chosen.

Obviously, this is not the first time they have come back and forth on this trade route, and they know the situation along the way very well, and every place of stop, every suitable place to camp, is clear.

After another three days of continuous driving, the caravan entered a vast grassland from the hilly terrain.

When he arrived here, Xiong Lin obviously felt that the atmosphere in the caravan began to become tense, and Guo Qianshu no longer stayed in the caravan, always driving the light and patrolling back and forth around the caravan.

Xiong Lin took the opportunity to ask the Qi cultivators in the team, and learned that this grassland was called the Jackal Grassland, and the most was a low-level demon beast called the Jackal.

Jackals, most of them are first- and second-order low-level demon beasts, and the wolf king is a third-order demon beast, which is equivalent to a foundation building monk.

If the caravan was surrounded by a third-order wolf king, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble, and if the whole team was not destroyed, it would definitely have heavy casualties. Therefore, Guo Qianshu would drive the light every day and patrol around the caravan, in order to prevent the caravan from being surrounded by wolves.

At night, the caravan camped for the night, and Guo Qianshu even laid out a triple formation outside the camp. Moreover, from this night on, Guo Qianshu gathered all the Qi cultivators in the caravan and began to arrange night duty tasks.

Obviously, the jackals on the steppe have taught all the caravans on this route countless lessons of blood and tears, so that the caravans are so cautious.

Even Guo Qianshu, a foundation-building monk, was so cautious.

Seeing that Guo Qianshu had arranged the caravan to be on duty at night, Xiong Lin thought for a while, stepped forward and said, "Guo Daoyou, do you need help below?"

Guo Qianshu smiled, thanked him and said: "Thank you Lin Daoyou, but now it's all a trivial matter, don't bother Daoyou, when you really meet the jackals, you need Daoyou to take action when you can't say it...... After all, when encountering a jackal pack, the best thing is to fight quickly, the longer it drags on, the more jackals will be recruited, and the more difficult it will be to get out, and the more serious the casualties will be!"

Xiong Lin nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, if there is a need, Guo Daoyou can just say it!"

Guo Qianshu said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't be polite to Lin Daoyou......

After a careful night, fortunately there was no night attack by jackals. The next day, the caravan set off again with a sense of rejoicing.

It's just that this feeling of happiness disappeared at noon, and turned into a slight fear and worry.

Because, for a whole morning, the caravan did not encounter a single jackal!

It is reasonable to say that it is a good thing not to meet jackals, but for the caravans that walk the jackal steppe all year round, they have noticed something abnormal.

It's been a day and a half since the caravan entered the jackal grassland yesterday, not to mention the jackal pack, it's just a jackal, and everyone hasn't seen it!

Not only did the caravan not see it, but Guo Qianshu had been patrolling the caravan left and right, and within ten miles, he didn't encounter a single jackal.

This is obviously not a normal phenomenon, this grassland is called the jackal grassland, just from the name can be seen the number of jackals on the grassland.

In the past, when caravans passed through the steppe, they would encounter jackals almost every day. For a single, scattered jackal, the caravan is not worried, the caravan is afraid of encountering a pack of wolves led by the jackal king.

But now, it has been two days since he entered the jackal grassland, not to mention a jackal, but he has not heard a wolf howl.

The world is quiet, and the atmosphere is a little dignified and depressing!

Soon, not only the monks in the caravan discovered that something was wrong, but also some experienced mortal warriors in the caravan found out that something was wrong.

The atmosphere in the caravan gradually became a little oppressive, and all kinds of speculations were generated in people's minds!

Where have all the jackals gone? Will there be wolves waiting for us ahead? Are there any traps ahead?

Finally, in the evening, I still didn't run into a jackal.

The caravan set up camp, and Guo Qianshu once again went to the camp to set up a formation, and this time he arranged five major arrays, one heavy and one heavy, one more powerful than the other.

Xiong Lin also discovered at this time that Guo Qianshu's formation cultivation was not only a little understanding, but also very proficient.

After arranging the protective formation, Guo Qianshu directly found Xiong Lin and said, "Lin Daoyou, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you this time." ”

Xiong Lin smiled and said: "Guo Daoyou is polite, if you have any orders, you will never refuse." ”

Hearing this, Guo Qianshu nodded slightly, and said, "Now that the situation is now, Daoist friends have probably found something wrong. ”

Xiong Lin nodded and said: "Although I don't know much about the jackal grassland, since it is in the name of the jackal, there should be a lot of jackals on the grassland, but now I haven't encountered a single jackal for two consecutive days, which is indeed a little wrong!"

Guo Qianshu nodded, and then said with some concern: "This situation is very wrong, I am worried that something has happened to the jackal grassland, so I want to explore the situation, I will not be there at that time, and the caravan is safe, please ask Lin Daoyou more!" (To be continued......)
