"To be honest, senior brother, we went down the mountain on a mission to escort a batch of goods." The person who spoke was the woman next to Yang Chen. He had a high ponytail, a delicate face, and slightly red lips.
"Yes, senior brother, do you want to join in? I have one thousand taels of silver!" said another woman with disheveled hair.
Xu Qing glanced at Yang Chen and to be honest, he was tempted.
When Yang Chen saw Xu Qing looking at him, he said, "I don't care, any time is fine."
Although Yang Chen said he was going to Qingyun Sect, he was not in a hurry.
Xu Qing was relieved when he heard Yang Chen's reply, "Okay, two junior sisters, but..."
"But what?"
"But I want to take Brother Chen with me. He was originally going to go to Qingyun Sect with me and bring him into my family, but now..."
"That is my intended disciple of Qingyun Sect. Since they are members of my own family, there is no need to say more. Once the matter is completed, each person will receive two hundred taels."
"My name is Lin Xi." The woman with a high ponytail turned to introduce Yang Chen.
"And me, my name is Lin Ke, I am Lin Xi's junior sister and her biological sister."
Lin Xi and Lin Ke are both great beauties, but Lin Xi is aloof and cold, while Lin Ke is warm and cute. Each has its own beauty.
"Yang Chen."
Seeing Yang Chen put down his chopsticks, Xu Qing asked, "Are you ready? Brother Chen."
"Well, let's go." Yang Chen picked up the spear placed aside and followed the others out.
Xu Qing paid the money, because Yang Chen had no money at all, so he was a little embarrassed.
Lin Xi led a few people to a large house. She walked up and knocked on the door. She heard a "squeak" sound, and a short man dressed as a waiter stuck his head out and looked at the people.
"How many are there?"
"We are your master, we are here to help. Please report us." Lin Xi said to this person.
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment."
Several people were waiting boredly. Yang Chen had a candied haws in his mouth. Xu Qing had just bought one when he saw him looking at it. He didn't blame Yang Chen, after all, this was his first time out.
Soon there were rapid footsteps inside, the door opened, and a fat middle-aged man and a graceful woman came out.
The middle-aged man hurriedly walked up and said, "I think some of them must be immortal masters."
Lin Xi, who took the lead, nodded, "We have taken over your mission and are responsible for helping you transport it."
"Guys, hurry up and prepare the best food." He ordered a servant.
"No, let's get down to business." Lin Xi refused.
The fat middle-aged man looked at the people behind her and saw that Yang Chen and others were not interested, so he nodded.
"You guys are coming with me."
The middle-aged man led them into the main hall and said helplessly: "Since the immortal masters are so cheerful, I will tell you straight away that I plan to transport this batch of goods from Huangcheng to Bailiu City a hundred miles away. It was originally a small matter, but I don’t know who revealed the information and let a group of gangsters know about it.”
"Gangster, shouldn't you just invite a few warriors?" Lin Xi looked at him and asked.
Warriors are different from cultivators. Their life span is the same as that of normal people, but their bodies and strength are stronger than normal people.
"Originally, that was what I planned to do, but those bandits were not simple. They were the most rampant Chang bandits, and there were many Taoists like several immortal masters among them."
Seeing that Lin Xi was deep in thought, seemingly contemplating the pros and cons of this matter, the middle-aged man seemed to be afraid that some people would regret it, so he waved to the servant next to him.
The man quickly understood. He clapped his hands behind the curtain, and two women holding trays came out.
The middle-aged man stood up, opened the red cloth covering, revealing the silver on it, "Fellow immortal masters, this is a deposit of one thousand taels, and there will be one thousand taels left after the matter is completed."
He hurriedly placed the tray in front of Lin Xi. Lin Xi turned her head and looked at Xu Qing next to Yang Yi. When Xu Xuqing nodded, she agreed.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble some immortal masters. It's getting late now, and I've already prepared rooms for you."
"Afu took some immortal masters to rest."
The servant named Ah Fu glanced at Yang Chen and others, "Several immortal masters, please follow me."
Soon, several people were taken to a courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it had everything they needed.
There were exactly five rooms inside. Several people chatted casually and returned to their rooms.
Yang Chen opened the door and walked out. He sat on the stone bench in the yard, holding the spear in his hand, "Why did you let me come out suddenly? Why did you let me repeat the cycle of experiences? The King of Hell and the old man seem to be very familiar. , who are my parents?"
At this moment, Yang Chen had many doubts, but the voice behind him interrupted his thoughts.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Yang Chen turned around and looked, it was Xu Qing who was speaking.
"Nothing, I just thought of some confusing things."
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Xu Qing seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yang Yi and said: "Brother Chen, I have always had a doubt. The bamboo forest where you are staying seems to have formation fluctuations, but I can't see it. But with your level of cultivation, you shouldn’t be able to do it.”
"Formation?" Yang Chen wasn't too sure. After all, there was no one else in the bamboo forest except him, and when he was inside, he kept repeating the scene of Xu Qing being chased.
While Yang Chen was thinking, Xu Qing took out a bottle of wine and slapped it in front of Yang Chen, "Forget it, don't think so much, Brother Chen, drink."
Yang Chen didn't hesitate, picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
Yang Chen looked at the stars and the bright moon in the sky. He didn't know what would happen to him in the future, but he had to make his life meaningful after he came out.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Chen was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He stood up from the bed and opened the door, "Yang Chen should go."
Lin Ke stood at the door. He looked at Yang Chen's sleepy look and wanted to laugh.
"Oh, okay, I'll be here after I take a shower."
"Okay, we'll wait for you in the main hall."
Yang Chen nodded.
Yang Chen washed up, wrapped the spear in cloth again, and carried it behind his back.
When he arrived at the main hall, everyone was there except him, "Huh, it's so impressive to have so many people waiting for you." It was Chen Kong who spoke, with a difficult tone in his tone.
Yang Chen didn't understand why this person was acting like this, but he just glanced at Chen Kong and ignored him.
Chen Kong felt that he was being ignored. He wanted to pick up his fist and rush towards Yang Chen, but Xu Qing reached out to stop him.
"Junior brother, you have a mission this time and you have to keep a clear eye on the situation."
Chen Kong snorted and turned away.
"Brother Chen, don't mind, my junior brother has such a personality."
Xu Qing only hoped that Yang Chen would not argue with Chen Kong. After all, if he started to fight, he would definitely not be able to gain favor. Yang Chen could single out two strong foundation builders without cultivation, let alone Chen Kong.
Yang Chen nodded, then found a seat and sat down.
Soon the middle-aged man twisted his fat body and walked in, "I will go with you for this operation. Everything is ready. Immortals, let's go."
Several people walked out of the door, and there was a long queue of carriages at the door, mostly goods. "No wonder they are being targeted, there are so many things." Yang Chen said in his heart.
Several people stepped onto a carriage each. The middle-aged man shouted, and the team began to move.
Yang Chen looked through the Book of Creation that the old man gave him, but what he didn't expect was that it was actually a wordless book.
Yang Chen flipped through a few pages again, until the last page was blank. He suppressed the urge to curse, "There must be some mystery in this book."
He poured spiritual power into the book, and sure enough, the book began to vaguely display fonts, "It works!" Yang Chen said in surprise.
He continued to inject, but the font was still looming, and it was completely unclear what it was. "Maybe my cultivation is not enough!" Yang Chen could only think of this.
He opened the sedan curtain and looked outside. At this moment, they had reached the suburbs. There was a valley in front of them. Yang Chen looked at the guards around him. All of them were nervous.
After all, the middle-aged man said that there were cultivators in Chang bandits, which would make ordinary people afraid.
As the convoy began to drive into the valley, Yang Chen's uneasiness became more and more obvious. He jumped off the carriage and looked around.
The cliffs on both sides were very high, and gravel would slide down from time to time. At this time, Xu Qing and the others in front also jumped out of the carriage, and they seemed to be on guard for something.
Suddenly the ground began to tremble, and everyone looked to both sides. Huge rocks began to roll down the cliffs on both sides, and the horses started to jump around in fright.
Xu Qing asked a few people to disperse, and then used spiritual power to form a shield that blocked all the large rocks without causing any actual damage.
The team began to speed up, and the groom kept pumping the horse, hoping that it would go faster.
Just when everyone thought they were about to escape, the only way out was blocked by several people. The leader of the groom had to stop forcefully and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that there were no more big rocks rolling down on both sides, Yang Chen and the others walked to the front to confront the group of people.
"May I ask who the brothers in front are and why they stopped us?" Xu Qing stepped forward and asked loudly.
