Suddenly, there was a strong wind blowing in Shanglin City all night.
Rolling up smoke and dust, rolling up yellow sand.
For a long time, only the rain fell on Shanglin. Even though it was blocked by the towering city wall, which was ten feet high, after one night, the roofs of the buildings in the city were still covered with a light gray.
now.
Somewhere in the criss-crossing alleys of the city.
Two ordinary carriages, controlled by two equally ordinary drivers, slowly left the backyard streets near Yun's house.
Exit the alley and walk onto the main road.
We drove all the way through the south of the city, passed Shanglin Street, and then continued to the west. Finally, we exited the west city gate and gradually disappeared in the eyes of the soldiers standing solemnly on the city gate.
Thousands of such carriages passed through the city gates of Shanglin every day, so when those two carriages passed by, they did not attract anyone else's attention.
The guard standing guard at the city gate simply glanced at him and dismissed the school happily.
At this time, Shen Xiu, who was sitting in the carriage behind him, raised his eyes and glanced at the man opposite Gu Jing Wubo. He also lowered his eyes and closed his eyes to rest.
These two carriages were a group of people sent by the Yun family to Qingyang Mountain. The carriage in front was occupied by the ancestor of the Yun family.
The latter is with this man named Chen Fan.
Shen Xiu also had no idea what the Yun family ancestor looked like. When they arrived at the Yun family and stepped into the carriage, the mysterious Yun family ancestor was already in the carriage.
The two carriages came out of the west city gate and headed west. Not long after, they stopped in front of a pavilion beside an old locust tree.
At this moment, a similar carriage had stopped at the edge of the pavilion in front, and sitting in the pavilion was Yun Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Yun family.
As the carriage in front stopped, the curtain opened, and an old man with a thin body, a narrow face, and an unattractive appearance slowly stepped out of the carriage.
This old man with all white hair is obviously the ancestor of the Yun family that Yun Chengzhi mentioned.
It looked very ordinary, with a gray robe covering the whole body, and there were even black and greasy marks on the cuffs. The whole body did not exude any depressing and heavy aura.
If no one warned him, he would be no different from Lin, an ordinary old man out for a walk.
It's just that no one dares to despise it.
Seeing the old man of the Yun family get out of the car, Yun Chengzhi in the middle of the pavilion immediately stepped forward to help him, but the old man pushed him away and glared at him, "Your great-grandfather, I'm just old, not dead."
After getting off the car and resting for a while, they headed west again. After stopping at the pavilion for a while, the two carriages gradually drove away from Shanglin City.
This gray sky lasted for two days. The wind and sand gradually calmed down, and a patch of sunshine appeared under the sky again.
All the way to the west, towards Yunlin County
The groom's driving skills were very steady and his speed was not impetuous.
The sunny weather lasted for a long time, so long that the journey lasted for six or seven days again. As we approached the border between Yunlin County and Heyang County, a continuous green mountain suddenly appeared in front of Shen Xiu's eyes.
This mountain range is extremely high, extremely far, and extremely long.
This is the Qingyang Mountains at the junction of Yunlin and Heyang.
Looking far away, I couldn't see the end at all. Although I could already see the outline of the green mountain, the distance between the cluster and that place was probably a hundred miles away.
The end of summer is so unpredictable. I took a break in a town on the way and continued on my way. After walking for more than 20 miles towards the continuous green mountains, a pattering summer rain came quietly.
At first it was only moderately heavy, and then as time passed, a sharp rain turned into a drifting heavy rain, pouring down from the dark dome.
The dry roadside had become muddy due to the sudden heavy rain, and the carriage was struggling to walk through it.
It's just that it is unrealistic to return to the town now. According to the residents of the town who often travel to this area, the next destination is not too far away, so it is natural to make do with the former school.
The heavy rain pattered against the hard roof of the shed, like the beating of a mallet, with dense and frequent drumbeats.
Shen Xiu leaned against the quilt of the carriage behind him, and as the carriage swayed, he fell into a false sleep.
The same goes for the man in green across the street.
Because of his cold temperament, even though they were in the same carriage along the way, they could count the number of times they talked on both hands.
Until now, Shen Xiu only knew that the surname of the man opposite was Chen Mingfan, a name that was not very conspicuous in a crowd.
Half an hour passed and the rain did not stop.
It was cloudy outside and the wind was howling.
In the past, this noon hour was supposed to be when the sun was shining brightly. At this moment, it was like an evening when the sun was setting. A slightly semi-transparent curtain covered the earth.
The heavy rain did not stop, except for the patter of raindrops hitting the roof of the car, and the sound of rolling wheels moving through the mud and water.
After continuing to drive for a while, Shen Xiu suddenly felt that the carriage paused slightly, slowed down significantly, and then stopped directly on the spot.
"Arrived in town?"
Chen Xiu opened his eyes immediately when he felt movement, his eyes brightened slightly, and he asked in surprise.
This heavy rain made the whole person feel extremely wet. At this moment, Shen Xiu just wanted to find an inn to stay, and then take a comfortable hot bath.
"No, Mr. Shen, the carriage in front is not moving. Something must have happened."
Outside the tightly covered curtain of the carriage, the coachman Sang Ying came to explain.
What will happen to this heavy rain?
Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard this, so he opened the curtain and took a look. Suddenly he saw the scene in front of him, and his sharp eyes could not help but narrow slightly.
At this moment.
In front of the carriage that the ancestor of the Yun family was riding, at some point, there was a dark shadow, floating faintly in the rain, blocking the way.
This is a lingering and twisted black energy, which seems to be human-shaped, but it is surrounded by the black energy, and it is impossible to see the true appearance inside.
Weird shape.
And just when Shen Xiu was looking at this mass of black energy, the humanoid mass of black energy whose face could not be seen clearly turned its head to look at him.
At that moment, when he looked over at this mass of black energy, he immediately felt an extremely cold aura, conveyed along the faint air.
The aura was the same as that of the previous demons in Yaoshan. Feeling such a familiar aura, and the power contained in the aura, Chen Xiu judged that it should be some sixth-level demon.
This journey has been so uneventful that it almost makes people forget what kind of world this is.
