The high mountain cliffs conceal the flowing clouds.
The road from the Southern Wilderness to the Central Plains is difficult and dangerous. Travelers who have no money to take the waterway can only climb over the mountains and ridges step by step. The mountains are high and the roads are steep. If you want to cross the Ruiyun Mountains, you have to pass through a dangerous road dug out of the cliff. There are many obstacles above and below your head. There are mountain rocks on one side, and Feiyunzouwu cliff on the other side. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.
"Everyone, hurry up and hurry up! Try to spend the night on the top of the mountain before dark!"
Someone shouted hello at the front of the winding mountain road. The sunset illuminated the cliff and dyed it fiery red. The echo echoed in the mountain...
Halfway through, Bai Yu leaned against the rock wall and watched the sunset with one foot on the rock wall. The mountain road was carved out of the cliff. It was very interesting. I wonder if there were any literati who left poems to complain about.
Wearing a gray suit, the coarse cloth is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, suitable for walking on the road. His long hair is tied back casually, and he is holding a leaf of grass in his mouth and looking at the grooms shouting and driving the horses on their way.
Occasionally, a pack horse would excrete feces, causing the man behind to laugh and scold him. The more diligent ones would simply sweep the horse feces off the cliff with a wooden stick.
There are family members of wealthy families in the team. It is said that they have been in Gushan for many years and brought their wives and children back to their hometown to recognize their ancestors. The journey is long, and women and children are most likely to be overwhelmed, and even riding in a car is uncomfortable.
"It's really slow on the road."
The team dragged on, some were fast and some were slow. The cliff was very windy and unsafe at night, but none of them were in a hurry. If I had known better, I would have picked the team with the smaller number of people to rush on. It was a mistake.
The packhorse and donkey lowered their heads and squeaked hard, instinctively moving away from the cliff and closer to the side of the rock wall.
The mountain road is difficult and dangerous. Women and children who were previously on horseback had to climb the mountain on their own. Children aged five or six are the most lively and energetic, running around without listening to reprimands.
"Xuan'er, don't run around~ Come to my mother's place~"
The woman kept calling her son, maybe she was so pampered that the child was disobedient.
Laughing and shouting at the mountains and listening to the echo.
"Oh~who are you~"
"Who are you~"
The echo kept reverberating, and the little boy named Xuan'er jumped up and down. His father who was traveling with him smiled and watched his son play, but did not notice that the child unconsciously approached the cliff...
The happy little boy looked at the red sun in Yuanshan Mountain and was very excited. Maybe the cool mountain breeze made him feel comfortable and he couldn't sit still. He had a naughty nature and just played without looking at his feet.
A sudden change occurred! When I was jumping, I stepped on a stone and my feet suddenly slipped!
The boy was the only one on the edge of the cliff. Others who were close to the cliff had no time to catch the boy. The parents of the child almost watched with their own eyes as their son slipped and then fell towards the cliff...
At this moment, a thin hand grabbed the collar of the boy's back neck and held it in his hand like a chicken.
Pa da ~
The stones collided and fell on the cliff, spinning into the white mist at the bottom of the valley where the reality was invisible.
"Boy, I hope there won't be a next time."
Throwing the boy to his parents, the frightened and crying family of three continued on their way without even looking at them. Others in the team praised their quickness and good deeds. The family of three who walked farther away kowtowed and knelt down. Perhaps this is the only way in this era. There is a way to repay kindness by kneeling, but in fact a certain dragon prefers real gold and silver.
Accept the gift and speed up the climb. After reaching the top of the mountain, the last light disappears and night falls.
Standing on the edge of the mountain top, Bai Yu saw from a distance a small sect on the mountain not far away. There are only two kinds of people who can establish a sect in such a barren mountain. One kind really wants to escape the world and seek a breakthrough, and the other is There are certain purposes, such as establishing a sect here to monitor traffic arteries.

Over a mountain in the distance is the great river waterway. Over there you can monitor the endless stream of ships, and here you can monitor the mountain road. The Central Plains is really full of dangers.
Take a bite of the hard steamed bun and chew it into pieces.
Sitting on the bluestone, I stared at the mountains that were gradually sinking into darkness. The fireflies were flying, echoing the stars in the blue sky. Others in the caravan were desperately trying to drive away mosquitoes and cursed. Only Bai Yu was deserted.
"I wonder if I can find clues in the next city..."
Bai Yu wants to find the source of the broken bones quickly and understand the meaning of the guidance in the dark. That thing must not be found in the Central Plains. The road is far away and the journey is long. He must finish his work as soon as possible and return to the Southern Wilderness to live his own life. The Central Plains is full of dangers. It's not safe. In order to hide, I can only pretend to be an ordinary person and sneak around in the world cautiously.
I hope I can find the guy named Pan Xiong before the man in black.
The journey is windy and rainy, the mountains are high and the water is long and the road is long...
The journey was not only bright and sunny, the setting sun was like a fire, but also strong winds and showers. Straw hats were crackling in the heavy rain. The wind was too strong to hold an umbrella. The packhorses and donkeys allowed the mountain rain to wet their furs and moved forward in silence. The mountain rain caused mudslides and buried the Tea Horse Road. Risky Yu pushed the livestock hard through the dangerous zone. Occasionally, someone would slip and get covered in yellow mud. If they were not careful, their skin would be cut by sharp stones in the mud.
The mountain stream flooded. The men first unloaded the goods from their horses and carried them on their shoulders and carried them across the river with the help of ropes. The women and children sat on packhorses and waded through the water with the support of others. There was a traveling trader whose goods were washed away by the flash flood. Fortunately, he was okay. , but without the goods, we will lose money. A man in his forties knelt by the water and cried softly...
Bai Yu did not use his magical power, but hid his aura and took the opportunity to understand the various conditions in the world.
I remember what Master Yu Rong said a long time ago, when he was teaching young disciples at Zuowang Peak.
"How can you become an immortal if you can't even do it well as a human being?"
Cultivation requires moving forward step by step from the beginning, understanding the world and understanding all things. Only by climbing up the mountain step by step can you know how high the mountain is. Blind arrogance will only lose the direction.
More than ten days later...
When the straw hat was about to fall apart, it finally arrived in the big city. Most of the boats and horses leaving from Gushanji would rest here.
After separating from the caravan, he went into the city to inquire about information.
What I didn't expect was that I met those men in black again. Although I changed my clothes, the smell was definitely the same. I didn't see the white-haired boy. The city Shigeru and the Chamber of Commerce were occupied by them. I knew a lot of information by relying on my super hearing. , Fortunately, only Gushan Jimen can register the caravan from the registered province. The caravan had an accident in the Southern Wasteland and could not come back. There is no registered entry and exit records here.
After eavesdropping for a long time, I learned that they stayed here to interrogate the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce branch. After the interrogation, they killed the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.
These people cannot live.
He found an uninhabited alley and went into it, and when he came out he was dressed in a different costume. It was very rare for a Nascent Soul Demon Commander to be so cautious, so he used his stealth skills to the extreme.
That night, a swordsman killed more than ten mysterious people from other places, and the fight was fierce.
The fire was blazing, and Bai Yu pulled out a letter from someone. The letter probably listed several leaders of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce who were most likely to go to Jiuli and Heibu for trade, including Pan Xiong. Fortunately, the letter had not yet been sent, and unexpectedly, Those people move really fast and time is of the essence...
The purpose of using swords and fighting fiercely is to paralyze the opponent and make them think that the opponent is a swordsman, and his cultivation level is not very high, and to create an illusion to confuse them to hide themselves. If they kill them all silently, wouldn't it tell the opponent that they are a master, and it is better to be cautious.
Burning the house of the Mowa Chamber of Commerce to the ground, setting fire to letters and watching the paper turn into ashes.
The firelight illuminated the cold and pretty face, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
