Chapter 30: A Chance Encounter
After the Wolf and Tiger Mountain, it is a road. In the middle of this must pass a pass, this place is quite famous, is "one city, two gates, three passes" in one of the three passes of the wolf and tiger pass.
Those who pass the customs have to check one by one, mainly one type of thing: treasures. It is very easy for a cultivator to pass this ordinary pass. Therefore, these are all for ordinary people, and the official does not allow ordinary people to have things that only cultivators can have. Such as elixirs, magic weapons, beast pills, or Taoist cheats. These are the interests of the forces, and ordinary people carry it called smuggling!
Lin Xin looked at these with a curious expression, and when he saw the soldiers in front of him checking the luggage of these people one by one. asked: "Uncle Yin, why do you have to search everyone's packages when you pass through this place?" Shangguan Yin smiled and said, "Oh, they are checking whether they are carrying contraband." Lin Xin said: "What are the contraband?" "It's those elixirs, magic weapons and other things." Young master, don't worry, we don't have anything and we are not afraid of them checking. ”
Lin Xin was stunned! You don't have anything, but I still have an immortal sword. Lin Xin was worried in his heart, and when he saw the gate not far from him, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
A tall soldier with a beard stopped the carriage and said, "What are you guys in the cart? Without saying anything, he pulled Lin Xin and the two down, and then jumped into the car. The other man next to him walked up to the two of them in tacit understanding: "What are you all carrying?" Before they could answer, they began to search their bodies.
Shangguan Yin was very angry, no matter how he said that he was also a "master" of foundation building and cultivation, how could he casually let these lowly soldiers search his body? He writhed around very uncooperatively.
"You uncle, are you suffering from snake spirit disease, what are you twisting?" The soldier was also burly, with thin eyes and a low forehead and a nose. Pulled Shangguan Yin hard and shook it twice, making him stand up. Shangguan Yin was about to attack, but he looked at Lin Xin again and sank.
"Damn, nothing. What about you, what are you hiding?" said and came to search Lin Xin again. At this juncture, although it is not barren, it is also remote. These soldiers are eager to search for something good, and when they have more things, they will get a piece of the pie.
"What is this, bring it. Seeing that Lin Xin didn't want to give it to what he thought was a good thing, the man forced himself to grab it. "It's mine, I can't give it to you. Lin Xin held the sword, this is an immortal weapon, how can people take it away at will. "Grandma's, don't give it yet. The soldier pushed harder and harder. Although Lin Xin is young, his strength is not weak, and now that he has cultivated to the first rank, his strength has increased by a few points. The soldier couldn't even snatch his things.
"Be bold, dogs dare to do anything, watch your head. Just as the soldier was about to have a seizure, he heard a stern reprimand from behind. Just behind Lin Xin and them, another carriage came, and it was attacked by two other soldiers.
They are used to this place without scruples, there is nothing to be afraid of, if there is no Guan Die, it is customary to search people when they see the car. The scolding was an old woman with a few wrinkles on her face, but she had a smooth face, and she couldn't see her age clearly. She frowned coldly at the soldier who was about to get into the carriage, thinking that it was rude for him to do so. The soldier was stunned by the sudden sound, and waited for him to come to his senses. Seeing that all the people were looking at this side, their faces were a little unbearable. He turned back to her and said, "You old thing, who are you scaring about?" He climbed back into the car.
She snorted, "It's something that doesn't know what to live or die for." He said to another soldier: "If you don't want to die, call your General Zhang Zhen." "After that, he didn't care about the man in the carriage. The soldiers who listened to her words were stunned and immediately ran away to the camp.
The soldiers in the carriage also stopped when they heard this, and secretly said badly, could it be that she and the general knew each other? Looking at the magnificence of the carriage, maybe there was really a bit of a backdrop.
The man went and came quickly. After a while, several people came, and the leader was the man with an iron cloak, a silver crown and red silk, and he should be the highest officer here. As soon as he came, he saw that the person he didn't know, and said: "Have a good routine inspection, what happened." Lin Xin was amused when he heard it, if this general knew that old woman, he would definitely come forward to ask. But when he saw that he couldn't recognize the person, he said that he shirked his responsibility. We do things according to convention, and if we offend anyone, we are also on business.
This is what the old woman said, she understood it even more in her heart, and snorted: "Are you Zhang Zhen?" The general said: "Down there is Zhang Zhen, the general of the defenders of the Wolf and Tiger Pass, I don't know if you are?" The old woman didn't answer, but said: "General Zhang, your soldiers in the Wolf and Tiger Pass are really mighty, and without saying a word, they climbed into the woman's carriage." Zhang Zhen knew what was going on the way here, and immediately said: "These soldiers are all men who are five big and three rough, and they don't know the etiquette, please take care of them." ”
"I don't know etiquette? Hmph, it's just a bandit. ”
When General Zhang saw that this man didn't answer him, he talked about something else. Isn't it an old bustard who is a fox and a fake tiger? In this Wolf and Tiger Mountain, he has the highest status and the largest official, and he was actually frightened by such an old woman. Stared at her and said, "That's what we do as soldiers, you should be like this." If you haven't checked it all, you should check it. ”
Seeing that he was instructing to repeat what he had just done again, the old woman said to him: "General Zhang, I have something, can you come and have a look." Zhang Zhen said impatiently: "What is it? What is there to see? You ......" Before he finished speaking, he froze in place. Seeing this, the old woman sneered slightly: "General Zhang, what's wrong with you? ”
"This, this ......" Zhang Zhen's mouth suddenly became a little blocked.
The old woman said again: "You said that this car can't be checked?" Zhang Zhen came back to his senses and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, let go, let go!" The soldier immediately understood that the car could not be searched.
The carriage in front was driven to make way for the back, and Lin Xin was about to leave by himself. How could he miss this good opportunity, and hurriedly urged Shangguan Yin to leave, these short swords were saved. Walking not far, Lin Xin looked back curiously. I don't know what happened, but I saw a person get out of the car, pull back the old woman, and also come out of the customs together.
Purple clothes, light gauze drapes, should be a beautiful woman.
"Uncle Yin, what did you say the old woman gave to the general just now, why did his attitude change so much?" Lin Xin asked with some curiosity.
Shangguan Yin said: "I don't know, I think it should be something that symbolizes identity." This is not unusual, those soldiers are just ordinary soldiers, and any cultivator can be above them. Lin Xin said: "In this case, isn't there a cultivator guarding this Wolf and Tiger Pass here?" "Haha, what's the use of guarding it? What is the difference between this level and not for them?" Lin Xin understood the reason.
......
It was noon and I came to a small town. found the best restaurant, and the two were ready to rest.
Shangguan Yin opened his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper, bring all your long-term and good dishes." Yo, business is pretty good, and the location is gone. "Shangguan Yin looked left and right, and almost all the tables were full. When Xiao Er saw the two of them coming in, he had already greeted him, and when he heard his words, he immediately said: "I am not satisfied with you for saying that although this store is small, the business is the best in the town." Now there are so many guests that there's only one table over there. Xiao Er pointed to a four-person table at the corner of the pillar.
Lin Xin saw that he was sitting, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Yin, let's sit somewhere." You bring up all the good food and drink. Looking back at Shangguan Yin, he laughed dryly twice, and walked over.
"Uncle Yin, are you drinking? Hehe, I'm going to drink like this on weekdays. Lin Xin looked at Shangguan Yin with a smile and asked. Shangguan Yin said: "How can we not drink, but we still have to drink less when we go out." ”
Lin Xin nodded, drank it all in one cup, and sighed twice: "This seems to be fruit wine, a little light." Shangguan Yin is honest and drinks with him.
"Little Er, don't you really have a reason here? This is ten taels of gold, you go and find me a good position. As soon as I had a cup of food, I saw two more people.
It's really a coincidence, Lin Xin said to Shangguan Yin: "Uncle Yin, aren't these the two people before?"
"There is really no place in this store, and there is still a place just now, so I was asked for by those two. Otherwise, you'll be able to sit together. Xiao Er glanced at the gold and found half a position. When the old woman heard it: "You are a ......"
"Now that there's no place left, we're going to sit down. A soft and flat voice interrupted the curse she was about to curse to Xiao Er: "When we go out, we shouldn't be too particular." The old woman snorted, and she bypassed Xiao Er. Xiao Er immediately ran to the table of Lin Xin and said, "Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, there are two more guests here." Now there is no other place, so I have to sit with the two of you, hoping that the two of you will be convenient. ”
Lin Xin saw that Shangguan wanted to speak, so he hurriedly said to him: "Uncle Yin, sit together, sit together, it's nothing." You go and call the two of you. Waiting for Xiao Er to leave, Shangguan Yin said: "We are out this time, it is better to have less contact with others." Lin Xin said: "I'm not afraid, Uncle Yin, what are you afraid of, aren't you?"
Lin Xin was very curious about the origin of those two people, and he might have such a thought about him, a fledgling boy.
"Keep things away, don't get in our way. As soon as the two arrived, before Lin Xin and the two spoke, the old woman "greeted" the two of them.
Shangguan Yin was angry: "You ......" Lin Xin hurriedly grabbed him and said, "It should be, it should be, we will each take half of it." Seeing that the old woman was rude, the masked woman spoke: "Don't be surprised, Mother Liu is this temper." The body apologized slightly.
She spoke strangely softly, making people angry.
