Chapter 878: Departure and Trading
After a while, Lu Ping'an, Lin Shixiong and the others left the small world they were in, and then flew out of the bottom of the lake and appeared in a forest in the Tongtian Mountain Range.
Their team, like the rest of the squad, consisted of about two hundred.
According to the plan, they would pack up as caravans and pass through some small towns and towns to their destination.
However, not all teams are like this, some will disguise themselves as hunters and go to the barren mountains and mountains, while others will disguise themselves as beggars and go to the countryside and villages...... In short, they are different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Walking the more remote routes may sound like a bit of a stretch, but in a sparsely populated environment, it's safer.
Just because they are demon cult monks, they have to keep a low profile, and once they are discovered, they will be in great trouble.
Where there are more people, there is a greater likelihood that accidents will happen, and even if they don't provoke others, they may be targeted.
Because of this, the team led by Lin Shixiong himself will choose a more risky route, and no matter what happens at that time, with Lin Shixiong here, it will always be better to solve it.
Lu Ping'an also learned from this that every time a Demon Sect monk made a big trip, he needed to spend more energy and maintain a higher vigilance than the monk of the Righteous Path Sect.
But it is also because of these reasons that it is difficult for those righteous sect forces to discover their existence.
Even if they stumble upon it, it will be impossible to find more Demon Cult monks, at most, they will be able to capture or kill a certain team.
And even if something happens to one team, as long as the team leader can use their special magic weapon in time to send a signal, then the rest of the team will also know the situation as soon as possible, and then adjust the action plan according to the situation.
All in all, the Demon Cult monks are extremely disciplined and planned, and they are quite cautious in any action, and it is not unreasonable that the righteous path forces have not found them for so many years, and they have not inflicted any effective large-scale blows on them.
Lu Ping'an naturally had no way of knowing these things before, but now that he is in them, he can be regarded as understanding.
And from this point of view, it was indeed a wise move for him to choose to infiltrate the Demon Sect as a meticulous work.
If you want to know these things in any other way, I am afraid it will be quite difficult.
As for those secrets, if you hadn't entered the Demon Sect, it would have been impossible to find out.
Lu Ping'an seemed indifferent to their actions, but in fact, he still kept a lot of things in mind, and he might come in handy in the future.
However, it is unknown whether the main altar of the Demon Sect and other sub-altars have a similar style of behavior.
But Lu Ping'an was not in a hurry to understand the entire Demon Sect, and it would be good to be able to figure out the matter of this altar first in the short term.
Their team was advancing along the border area of Dongyu Kingdom, so it was inevitable that they would need to pass through some small towns.
To Lu Ping'an's surprise, the first stop on their planned route was Tongning City.
After the whole team marched at an unhurried pace for two days, they left the Tongtian Mountain Range and entered the Tongning Forest, and then it took another time to arrive at Tongning City.
During this period, they were very low-key, and even if a demon beast came to attack, they only avoided it as much as possible.
If it really doesn't work, solve it as quickly as possible, and never drag mud and water to prevent extraneous branches.
Tongning City is already mixed, even if the two hundred or so of them enter the city, it will not attract too much attention, from this point of view, Lu Ping'an can still understand.
But as a result, Lu Ping'an guessed wrong, they didn't plan to enter the city at all, but just connected with another group of people outside the city.
Those people were supposed to be merchants in Tongning City, and some carriages and goods had been prepared for them in advance, making them look more like a real caravan.
Lu Ping'an didn't know what faction those businessmen belonged to, and they were so bold that they dared to do business with the Demon Sect?
And when the two sides were handing over, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but ask Feng Jinghui in a low voice, "Who are those guys?"
Feng Jinghui said: "Of course they are merchants in Tongning City." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "I can still see this, what kind of force I ask is what kind of people they are, why do they dare to do the demon sect business?"
Feng Jinghui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know much about this, but I guess they don't know that we are Demon Sect cultivators, or even if they can guess, they pretend not to know." ”
Lu Ping'an frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Feng Jinghui said: "When our people go to them to order something, it is impossible to directly say that we are from the Demon Sect, right? ”
Lu Ping'an said: "I see, then they are considered long-term partners of the Demon Sect? ”
Feng Jinghui shook his head and said, "I don't care about that aspect of things, so I don't know much about it." Anyway, why are you interested in this kind of thing?"
Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not interested, it's just that I'm curious to ask." ”
Feng Jinghui's face became serious, and he said, "There are some things, it's better not to ask so much." ”
Lu Ping'an was stunned and said, "It's me who is reckless." ”
Feng Jinghui said: "It's nothing if it's in our sub-altar, but if people from other sub-tans see you asking back and forth later, it won't be good, so you still have to pay attention to it." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "I understand, thank you Hall Master Feng for reminding me." ”
At this point, Lu Ping'an naturally didn't get to the bottom of it, he didn't want to arouse suspicion for this little thing.
But in fact, if you really want to talk about it, Lu Ping'an is not too surprised by this.
The Demon Sect can exist in the world, and it is impossible for it not to have the slightest connection with the outside world.
It's just that they hide their identities and are not discovered, or as Feng Jinghui said, even if some people are suspicious, for various reasons, they will not be traced to the end.
Many people or forces in this world are not so black and white.
For example, those businessmen, what they value more in their eyes is money after all, so they don't care whether the person who buys things is good or bad, right or evil.
It didn't take long for the handover to be completed, and the merchants got the money and left.
And Lu Ping'an and the others got into the carriage one after another, and by the way, they took some inexpensive goods, bypassed Tongning City, and headed south.
Although with the situation of Tongning City, even if they entered the city, it would not be too eye-catching, but if there was nothing to do, they naturally did not need to go in.
Lu Ping'an sat in the same carriage with Lin Shixiong and Lin Chulan.
As soon as he set off, Lin Shixiong asked, "When we were discussing things in the main hall before, what did you two do running to the back?"
Lin Shixiong didn't know what happened between the two of them, and he didn't think about it two days ago, but now that he saw that Lu Ping'an and Lin Chulan were by his side, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lin Chulan said: "I didn't do anything, I just chatted casually." ”
Lin Shixiong asked with a look of disbelief, "That's it?"
Lu Ping'an didn't understand why Lin Chulan didn't tell the truth directly, but he said without scruples: "The young altar master apologized to me. ”
Lin Shixiong was a little surprised, and said, "Oh, Lan'er, it seems that you still listened to your father's words." ”
Lin Chulan said: "Sort of, you talked to me for so long, no matter how much I didn't want to hear it, there would always be something stuffed into my head." ”
Lin Shixiong said: "I, as a father, have some things that I have to say, if I let you mess around again, I may cause some big disasters in the future, but fortunately, you are still willing to be obedient, you can go to Ren Xiaoyou to apologize, even if it is a great progress." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "To be honest, I was quite surprised at the time, and I even couldn't believe my ears, wondering if I heard it wrong." ”
Lin Shixiong asked, "Then have you forgiven her?"
Lu Ping'an smiled: "Of course." ”
Lin Chulan snorted lightly and said, "He was suspicious at first, and he was about to kill me." ”
Lin Shixiong smiled: "Haha, this is not strange, after all, you shouted at him before, and then suddenly changed your attitude and took the initiative to run over to apologize, and everyone will be suspicious." ”
Lin Chulan said: "Anyway, anyway, the matter between me and him has been resolved, and you don't have to worry about it anymore, Dad." ”
Lu Ping'an also said: "That's right, the altar master, you are busy with affairs, there is no need to waste time and energy on our trivial matter." ”
Lin Shixiong showed a pleased smile and said, "Okay, since you all said so, then I'll rest assured." By the way, Lan'er, when we arrive at our destination, you can meet Ji Changge. ”
Lin Chulan was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Really?"
Lin Shixiong said: "It must be true, why did your father lie to you?"
Lu Ping'an hadn't heard of that name, but looking at Lin Chulan's reaction, combined with what Feng Jinghui had said before, it was estimated that the guy named Ji Changge was the young altar master of another branch of the altar.
Lin Chulan said: "That's great, I haven't seen Brother Ji for months." ”
Lin Shixiong said: "But don't you often communicate with each other?"
Lin Chulan said: "It's true that it's often contacted, but there is still a difference between thousands of miles of sound transmission and meeting." ”
Lin Shixiong said: "This is also true, how is he doing lately?"
Lin Chulan said: "It's good, he has made great progress in his cultivation, and now he has broken through to the peak of the Yuanyang Ninefold, and he is only one step away from the transcendent realm!"
When she said this, her face was full of pride, and she glanced at Lu Ping'an after speaking, as if to say, my brother Ji's cultivation realm is higher than yours, are you convinced?
Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and didn't care about it.
After all, he had long been a powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm, and now he was still a monk who was about to become a saint, how could he be stimulated by such a thing?
However, Lin Shixiong said: "He is only in his early twenties, and he has already cultivated to this point, and he deserves to be one of the few top young geniuses in my Demon Sect!"
After that, Lin Shixiong looked at Lu Ping'an again and said: "Ren Xiaoyou, you are not bad, but you still have to work hard, otherwise it is very likely that you will be left behind by others." ”
Lu Ping'an always felt that this was meaningful, but he didn't ask much, just arched his hand and said: "Follow the teachings, I will work hard to cultivate." ”
