In a deep mountain forest, Lu Duofu...oh, no, his name is Lu Changfeng now. He built a bonfire. Above the fire, two wild boar legs were sizzling with oil, exuding the aroma of meat. With his current level of cultivation, it would not be difficult to kill a wild boar with no spiritual power. Lu Changfeng was roasting meat and drying clothes.
Based on what the two men in black said before, Lu Changfeng analyzed. The main purpose of that group was to kill people and silence them. As for why they had to do this, it is still unknown. The time specified by them was noon today, and they were afraid of being exposed, so everyone covered their faces. Normally, it should be safe at this time. But because Lu Changfeng killed two men in black, if they find out that their accomplices have not returned, something will happen.
Regardless of whether it is safe or not, just recharge your batteries first. Now that it is rainy, you don’t have to worry about the fire exposing you. The first thing Lu Changfeng had to do was to fill his stomach and have a good sleep.
He hadn't even had a sip of water all day long, so he was already very hungry. Now that he had roasted two large pork legs, Lu Changfeng could finally feast. After taking a bite, I still felt speechless. Although it smells delicious, the taste of the meat is really hard to swallow unless you are so hungry.
Barbecued meat without any seasoning may be good for most people, but for Lu Changfeng, it can only be eaten. Without seasoning, the fishy smell of the meat itself cannot be concealed. This kind of barbecue is a rare treasure for ordinary people. However, in the past few years at the master's house, Lu Changfeng's cooking skills have improved greatly, and his mouth has also become tricky. Lu Changfeng made up his mind to find a town to buy some seasonings tomorrow.
After eating the barbecue, Lu Changfeng made detailed plans for the next step. According to the map that Master left in the Qiankun Bag, Lu Changfeng is currently two hundred miles north of Yunyin Gate. If you continue to go north, you will still be in Baima Kingdom and enter Liusha State. Liusha Prefecture is vast, sparsely populated, and has vast deserts, which is really not conducive to hiding.
No, Lu Changfeng thought to himself. Although it is safe now, the enemy is riding a bird and is not even a little faster than himself. I met those guys on the way to Baobuqi. Besides, I don’t know if my appearance was remembered by those guys last night, especially that mysterious man. Just thinking about it makes my head tingling.
Looking at the map left by Nangong Xiu, Lu Changfeng fell into deep thought. To the south of Yunyinmen is the sea, which is the White Star Sea where Nangong Yue took him to play last time. That sea area is extremely vast. According to Nangong Yue, it would take several months to reach the other side by boat. If you ride a low-level beast like the Gale Eagle, you won't be able to fly at all. After a while, Lu Changfeng concluded that the group should come from the interior.
The inland is to the north of Yunyin Mountain, so if you go in the opposite direction with them, you will most likely not encounter them. Lu Changfeng slapped his thigh and realized: his pursuers were chasing him from the Yunyin Gate from south to north. According to normal logic, they would have thought that Lu Changfeng would go all the way north and escape as far away as possible. If they returned the same way and sneaked back to the Yunyin Mountain area, they would not have thought of it. After all, that was the scene of a crime. How could a murderer keep waiting there? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Even if the group of people discovered that their accomplice had not returned, they could not stop their pursuit of Lu Changfeng. That doesn't matter. There is a port three hundred miles southwest of Yunyin Mountain. There are often merchant ships going to and from the Starfall Empire on the opposite side. Lu Changfeng only needs to hide in the merchant ships and quietly go to the Starfall Empire before the people who are chasing him find him. , you can escape.
After figuring this out, Lu Changfeng was in a good mood. He had a good night's sleep and raised his energy to ten percent. Early the next morning, we found a nearby town. I bought some changes of clothes, dry food, water, and seasonings. There is a lot of gold and silver in the Qiankun bag. It seems that the master has been saving personal money behind his wife's back. In order to travel, Lu Changfeng bought a batch of fast horses. Then he changed his clothes, carried a cage on his back, put on a sun hat, pretended to be a scholar, and rode a fast horse all the way south.
On the flat official road, Lu Changfeng rode his horse all the way south. Suddenly a sharp roar came. Lu Changfeng looked up and was immediately horrified. Aren't those the two gale eagles the killer was riding? But upon closer inspection, there was no one on the eagle's back. It seemed that the two beasts had lost their masters and were flying aimlessly nearby. Gale Eagle was not taken away, which meant that there were no enemies nearby, and Lu Changfeng felt relieved.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Duofu whipped down the horse, and the horse immediately started running at full speed, running towards the south like lightning. I remembered that when Lu Changfeng went to Yunyinmen with Nangong Xiu five years ago, he still got motion sickness even after riding in a carriage. Now he can ride a fast horse and gallop by himself, but Nangong Xiu is no longer here. Things have really changed.
It was different with horses. Lu Changfeng traveled day and night, and arrived at a place fifty miles away from Yunyin Mountain in the afternoon of the second day.
"Brother, don't go forward." An old woodcutter with a gray beard was looking at Lu Changfeng kindly.
Lu Changfeng pretended not to know: "Uncle, what happened?"
The old woodcutter asked curiously: "Hey, you kid, there are so many notices posted around here, why don't you even read them? At Yunyin Gate over there, the people who joined the sect and the people who went to take refuge were killed by someone the night before yesterday. Kill them all. Everyone in the villages within a radius of fifty miles has also been killed."
Within a radius of fifty miles, no one will be left alive. If it was just the Yunyin Sect, it might be a sect vendetta, but so many people were killed, what on earth did they want to do? If these thieves are not eliminated, it will be unforgivable. Lu Changfeng took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, do you know who did it? Is there anyone alive?"
"It's gone. There are more than 200 people in Yunyin Sect, plus more than 3,000 people who went to seek refuge. Not one of them survived. The official who came in to handle the case said that the scene was very scary, and there were corpses everywhere on Yunyin Mountain. There was blood everywhere. The whole mountain was dyed red. In the past two days, even the water of the Baishui River at the foot of the mountain was red. It's a pity that the Yunyin Sect has always been chivalrous. The leader Nangong Xiu was a rare good man, and even he died. ." The woodcutter sighed.
The master and his wife were indeed dead, Lu Changfeng said: "Head Nangong, how did he die?"
"I heard that both he and his wife committed suicide. Oh, it's true that good people don't live long. You, don't go there. The court has sent people here these days, and there are all officers and soldiers there. If you go there, you will be mistaken. It would be troublesome to arrest him as a murderer." The woodcutter shook his head and sighed as he walked away.
Master, Master, please forgive me for your disgrace, I can't even help you collect the body. Lu Changfeng wiped away his tears, flicked his whip, and galloped around Yunyin Mountain towards the southwest port.
Yuntian Port is the closest ferry to Yunyin Mountain. From here you can access the Starfall Empire. Merchant ships come and go frequently. Many ships recruit trackers and sailors on the spot, and many idle men who want to find work gather here to find work. As time went by, some people would rent a place at the port to open a tea shop, help job seekers find the owners, and collect introduction fees from them.
"Here, take it. If you lose it, you won't be refunded." From the window of the tea shop, a fat black hand handed over a piece of paper with a red seal and handed it to Lu Changfeng. Facts have proved that money can make all the difference. These brokers are here to make money. As long as you give them enough money, they will quickly complete the job for you.
"Lu Changfeng, male, nineteen years old, in good health, proficient in water, capable of long voyages..." At the ferry's recruitment registration office, the sturdy ship boss took the broker's stamped letter of introduction and looked at Lu Changfeng with suspicion: "Boy , are you really nineteen years old?"
"Yes, my little one has just turned eighteen." Lu Changfeng has been practicing martial arts diligently for more than a year. His body has become thicker and tanned a lot, but he is still a little short of height. Lu Changfeng deliberately said he was two years older because he was afraid that he would be rejected if he was too young.
The boss of the ship raised his right hand and placed it on Lu Changfeng's shoulder, pressing it hard. Seeing that Lu Changfeng was motionless, he nodded: "Well, although he is a bit short, he is quite strong. I feel at ease with the person introduced by Boss Ma. Press your fingerprints here." , come on, the salary is three denarius a month. Remember, when working on a ship, your hands and feet must be clean and neat, and the most important thing is to be obedient."
Lu Changfeng signed the contract, stepped onto the ship, and let out a sigh of relief. The voice of the ship's boss came from behind: "Also, boy, our trip to the Starfall Empire will take at least half a year. If you feel homesick, go home and drink milk as soon as possible."
"I know. You just went home to drink milk?" Lu Changfeng didn't even look back.
