In the fourth year of Sheng Yuan Dynasty, it was the seventh day of April.
Yunzhou border.
The air was filled with the cold smell of blood.
It is clearly April, not to mention the south, even Jingzhou, which is separated from Yunzhou, can feel a bit hot.
But in this ghostly place close to the extreme north, the cold air between breaths still penetrates directly into the heart and lungs, which is unbearable.
"The official path has come to an end."
Lin Ji paused and looked at the clearly differentiated ground beneath his feet.
The land under his feet was compacted, and looking at both sides, it was clear that it had been artificially widened. Although it looked a bit dilapidated because it had not been repaired for a long time, compared to the pitted and frozen mud road in front of him, it was already The difference between heaven and earth.
"More than twenty miles to the west is the only way for the barbarians to go to Yunzhou. Several battles with the Zhenbei Army were also near here, and the smell of blood came from this." Beishang explained, "Go forward. , which is the far north.”
"It's freezing cold, how can the bloody smell remain condensed for several months?"
"On the battlefield to the west, about 70,000 to 80,000 people died."
"That's really a lot." Lin Ji sighed softly, "I finally understand that the barbarians want to go to Yunzhou even if they don't care about their lives. They have the intention of wasting their own young men, right?"
Beishuang didn't answer, but it seemed like he was acquiescing.
Seeing this, Lin Ji chuckled and said, "That's really outrageous. Let's go and keep moving forward."
"This is Lin's first time leaving Kyushu."
After the words fell, Lin Ji took the first big step.
The moment he left the official road and stepped on the frozen muddy road, he suddenly felt a little relaxed.
There is no reason for this sense of relief.
Just like if you have carried a burden for a lifetime, the burden has become a habit, as if it no longer exists.
But suddenly the burden was lifted, and I felt a sense of ecstasy and ease.
This novel sense of relaxation made Lin Ji a little interested.
He suddenly looked up at the sky, looking at the cloudy sky, as if heavy snow was coming.
"It turns out that Supervisor Tiansi's restraint really exists, and I thought I was an exception."
"What did you say?" Beishang asked.
"The monks of Supervisor Tiansi use the luck of Kyushu to practice, but they are also bound by the luck of Kyushu. This kind of restraint is actually nothing. After all, most monks have no hope of entering the Tao in their lifetime, let alone achieving Taoism..."
"But a bondage is still a bondage, a shackle, a cage, and a shackle."
This is a mysterious and indescribable feeling.
After feeling relaxed, Lin Ji felt a sense of separation again. It was as if his whole body was translucent, from top to bottom, from the inside out, and he was reborn.
He stood quietly, ignoring Beishang and Fang Qing beside him as they urged and asked.
About a full quarter of an hour passed before he finally came to his senses.
"Let's go." He didn't explain, and continued walking forward.
"What just happened?" Beishang couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The luck has been stripped away... The luck of Kyushu is indeed only useful in Kyushu. As a second-grade Tianguan of the Supervisory Sky Division, I have too much luck in the Kyushu earth line. I want to take it away. It will not willing."
"So it was stripped away."
As he spoke, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Ji's face.
"It's easy to peel off. Lin doesn't live on these things. It's just that you took them away this time, and if you want to give them back, Lin won't ask for them again."
These words are not difficult to understand for those who have entered the Taoist realm, but Fang Qing and Beishuang, one is just a somewhat special mortal, and the other is a Holy Fire Sect saint who grew up in the far north. It is even more difficult for them to understand the so-called destiny of Supervisor Tiansi. explain.
Soon, the three of them continued northward under the leadership of Beishuang.
It was not until more than ten miles away from Yunzhou that Lin Jicai suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I never asked you about the Holy Fire Sect along the way. Now that we are in your territory, you should
Give me some air. "
Hearing this, Beishang was surprised and said: "I thought you were confident and had already figured it out in your mind, so you didn't ask. The war in the north has been going on for so long, and the monks from Jian Tiansi have fought against the elders of our sect more than once. , you actually don’t know anything?”
"I don't know." Lin Ji shook his head calmly. "It's strange to say that since I decided to come to the Far North, I have always forgotten this and that. Although they are all insignificant little things, they all add up. It’s a lot easier to get up.”
"As a Taoist, you still forget things?"
"That's why I feel strange, that is, there is no spiritual warning in my heart, and it is all trivial, so it is not a big problem."
At this point, Lin Ji became a little hesitant again.
"But I always feel like I've forgotten something particularly important, but no matter how much I think about it, I can't remember it."
This was just a casual remark. Lin Ji naturally did not expect Beishang and the others to answer his questions.
"Let's go back to the Holy Fire Cult. Where is the headquarters of your Holy Fire Cult?"
"Yunshen Valley, from here, go four hundred miles north into the Northern Wasteland, and there will be someone who can lead the way." Beishuang said.
"How many members of the Holy Fire Sect have become Taoists?"
"Three elders, the first elder, the second elder and the fourth elder. Originally there was also a third elder."
"The third child is dead?" Lin Ji speculated maliciously.
Beishang shook his head and looked at Lin Ji in surprise.
"You're not dead. Have you forgotten the last time you and I visited Yun City in Yunzhou? What happened?"
Hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly understood.
"Li Nan Jushi?"
Seeing Beishang nodding, Lin Ji thought of Lu Cong, who was the disciple of Li Nan Jushi, and wondered how that boy was doing now.
While he was talking, several figures suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
Those people blocked the way and did not conceal their gazes. After scanning Lin Ji and Fang Qing, they kept staring at Beishang who was following Lin Ji.
It was as if Lin Ji and Fang Qing were not worth mentioning, and Beishang was the only one worthy of their attention.
Seeing this, Lin Ji asked, "Is he looking for you?"
"yes."
"Is it because of the news you quietly released earlier?"
After entering Yunzhou, Lin Ji realized that Beishang seemed to be passing on a message, but he was too lazy to stop it.
Moreover, Beishang didn't deliberately hide it at that time, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Yes, the leader is called Dong Xuelian, and she is Dong Xueying's sister."
"Come for revenge? Didn't you tell her that I was a Taoist?"
Beishang raised her eyebrows slightly. At this moment, she suddenly smiled playfully at Lin Ji.
"forget."
This reason was stated simply and neatly, and it was obvious that the girl had already thought of an excuse.
Lin Ji laughed dumbly and didn't bother to dwell on anything.
"That's all, just think of it as travel expenses for catching you and leading the way."
Lin Ji really didn't expect that even though he had become a Taoist, he could still be plotted against and used as a tool to eradicate dissidents.
This feeling is really not very good.
