At the junction of Liangzhou and Xiangzhou, if you take the official road, you will see two mountains blocking the road, but only the canyon in the middle is passable.
Thirty miles to the sky, a dangerous place.
There are often falling rocks on the mountain, which are often the size of several people hugging each other. If they are hit, they will inevitably end up with a puddle of flesh and blood.
Monsters occasionally appear in the canyon, but most of them are just mountain spirits and will not harm people easily.
But there are exceptions that cannot be tolerated.
In addition, because Yixiantian is located at the junction of the two states, the terrain is obviously important, but Liangzhou does not care about Xiangzhou.
Bandits and horse bandits often block the road in the canyon.
Even Lin Ji, who was taking this road for the first time, had heard of the saying "One Thin Line of Heaven".
There are words like saying that if the road ahead is blocked, the road behind is cut off, and the sky and the earth are not working.
All in all, it's not a great place.
"Your caravan is going to Xiangzhou. Shouldn't you have already planned this? Now you ask me what's going on?" Lin Ji said perfunctorily.
"Of course I am prepared. The reputation of Baili Escort Agency is enough. People from the Escort Agency should be given some face by people in the world, but if you are not afraid of 10,000 yuan in everything, just be afraid of the worst."
Lin Ji yawned.
"You don't need to buy peace of mind from me. I'm just a casual person, making some money along the way. What kind of monk is not a monk? Have you ever seen any powerful monk who is as poor as me?"
Manager Wu smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. He was obviously convinced by Lin Ji.
This is indeed true.
He could even accept a tael of silver and sit in a corner baking buns. It really didn't look like the behavior of a monk.
Watching Butler Wu leave, Lin Ji took a bite of the baked bun and sighed softly.
What I lament is that people’s livelihood is difficult.
Even with his salty temperament that doesn't want to worry about the country and its people, he can't help but feel pity after seeing the suffering of the people at the bottom who are struggling to make ends meet.
He saw some people wearing thin clothes, with frostbite on their hands and feet, and not even a decent cotton coat.
He saw that some people were reluctant to eat the dry food and kept it in their arms. Looking at others, he secretly swallowed his saliva. It was clear that the dry food was distributed in the caravan and was not worth much.
"I'm still standing too high to see this." Lin Ji shook his head secretly.
He always felt that he was a nobody.
But now it seems that not only the fifth-grade wandering star officer, but also the sixth-grade chief arrester, seventh-grade head catcher, and low-ranking demon catcher, the life is far better than these ordinary people who are really at the bottom of the life.
"I always say that others don't understand the suffering in the world, haha." Lin Ji smiled at himself, and stopped looking at these things.
There is no distinction between high and low in life itself, but after coming to this world, the distinction is naturally made.
Late at night, the snow finally stopped.
Silence also fell in the camp.
Lin Ji held the Tiangang Sword, folded his hands in front of his chest, and huddled in the leeward corner.
There was no place for him in the tent, and he didn't care.
Manager Wu invited him to spend the night in the carriage, but he politely declined.
As a monk in the realm of wisdom, he is immune to cold and heat, so it makes no difference where he spends the night.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Ji woke up from his sleep.
The sky is still dark, but there is some light in the east.
The camp was already busy, a pot was set up, and porridge was cooking in the pot.
The tents had also been put away. After a night's rest, the people in the convoy seemed to have finally regained some energy.
Only the snow in the sky started to fall again, which was a bit heavier than yesterday.
When it was daylight, the convoy set off again.
Lin Ji still sat in front of Manager Wu's carriage, acting as the driver.
Manager Wu seemed to be a little preoccupied today. He was not sitting in the sedan, but sat on the other side in front of the carriage, next to Lin Ji.
"Mr. Lin."
"explain."
"Your hair..."
Lin Ji's whip movement paused for a moment, and then the whip gently fell on the old horse pulling the cart.
It's not like catching a bus, it's like relieving boredom.
"I have a hidden disease. If I don't solve it, my hair will be a small problem, but my life will be a big problem." Lin Ji said casually.
There's nothing to hide.
The Evil Buddha Seal had been on his body for just one month, and it had already swallowed up a lot of Lin Ji's vitality.
There are just some white hairs now, but Lin Ji estimates that in a month or two, most of his hair will become white.
It is estimated that in less than half a year, he will have silver hair like Gao Qunshu.
"I just hope that my hair will not fall out after all my hair turns white. I don't want to be bald at such a young age." Lin Ji said with a rare joke.
Manager Wu looked at Lin Ji blankly.
"Is Mr. Lin joking? Is there really a life-threatening hidden disease?"
"Would anyone make fun of their own life?" Lin Ji asked.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Are you afraid it will be useful?" Lin Ji tilted his head.
Manager Wu's expression froze.
Yes, I am afraid of being useless, but I am also afraid of being useless.
Suddenly, Manager Wu's image of Lin Ji became increasingly strange.
This is a weirdo.
The speed of the convoy was not too slow. By noon, two large mountains could be seen in the distance, blocking the road.
"Is there a ray of sky there?" Manager Wu asked.
"You are the steward of the caravan, don't you know?"
"This is the first time that our Yuntong Chamber of Commerce has gone to Xiangzhou to do business."
"Oh, yes, that's the sky."
Lin Ji had long been used to the sterile conversation.
Not long after, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the canyon.
The escorts from Baili Escort Company hung a flag on every truck and carriage.
The leader of the escort agency is called Han Jin, and he has a lot of martial arts skills.
From Lin Ji's eyes, this man had been practicing kung fu all his life, and his energy and blood were vaguely comparable to those of a first-level body-refining monk. He was indeed somewhat capable.
Before entering Yixiantian, Han Jin specifically found Lin Ji.
"If there is any trouble later, please ask Mr. Lin to help."
"Why, even the reputation of your escort agency can't stop Xiaoxiao on the road?"
Han Jin just shook his head.
"There are always those who risk their lives."
Lin Ji was speechless, then nodded and said, "If anything happens, I will take action."
"Thank you."
After all, he saw Lin Ji take care of several of his capable men with his own eyes, and Han Jin had some confidence in Lin Ji's strength.
After the trouble was explained, the convoy moved on.
Slowly, both sides were blocked by the rock walls, and only when you looked up could you see a narrow strip of light.
The road in the canyon is not smooth, and is much bumpier than the official road.
And it can be seen with the naked eye that after entering the first line of sky, everyone in the team cheered up and was on full alert.
Facts have proved that their vigilance does have some truth.
When the convoy entered the sky and advanced a few miles, the road ahead was cut off by a huge rock.
The sound of horse hooves sounded from behind the motorcade.
"Be alert!" Han Jin's voice sounded.
A moment later, dozens of robbers on horseback blocked the convoy's retreat.
The leader of the robbers didn't even bother to say a few words.
"Young men, the men will kill the women and keep them, and take everything away!"
