That red lady really doesn't have any companions.
In this regard, Lu Heng couldn't help sighing, feeling a pity.
Although he had already guessed the result, but no demons really came to his door, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
It seems that the next time I encounter the demon in the Qingming Cave, I have to seize the opportunity and let Xiao Ai go to the cliché first.
With the power of Heavenly Thunder, I can't pretend to be a bad person at all...
Chapter 84
Under the sweltering sunshine in the afternoon, the team of traders walked on the road.
At this time, the beginning of summer has passed, and the mountains are getting hotter.
The ground trembled slightly with every step of the huge pack beast.
Under this scorching sun, all the businessmen who followed the pack beast were sweating all over, and some couldn't bear the scorching sun.
But when they saw the white stone city boundary monument in front of them, they still cheered.
"Hahaha... It's finally time to arrive at White Rock City."
"When I enter the city, I have to take a cold bath first! Then I have a good night's sleep!"
"I'm afraid I'm not sleeping alone... Hahahaha..."
Among the caravan, there was a burst of cheerful laughter.
However, although Lu Heng did not follow them, the conversation of the men did not dare to be too explicit. After chatting for a while, they didn't dare to go deep into this topic, but when they winked at each other, they couldn't help but let out a low snicker.
Not far in front of them, there was a huge stone tablet on the side of the road, with the big characters "Baishicheng" engraved on it.
Under the three big characters of [Baishicheng], there are also densely engraved small characters.
It's just that behind this boundary monument, there are still desolate roads and uninhabited mountains and forests, and there is no trace of the city.
Seeing that Lu Heng was curious about this boundary monument, Huo Feng explained.
"This is the Boundary Monument of Baishi City. Stepping into the range of this Boundary Monument is considered to be entering the protection range of Master Wu Zhu of Baishi City."
"Although we are still about a day's walk away from Baishicheng, we won't encounter any demons on the next journey."
Huo Feng said, "Within the range of the boundary monument, there is a patrolling master of the Fire Temple to patrol around to prevent the intrusion of evil spirits."
"Of course, beasts are not within the driving range of the cruiser. So there will still be beasts entrenched."
"However, within the scope of the boundary monument, the villagers live in clusters of hundreds or even thousands of people. So as long as it's not raging with demons, ordinary beasts rarely hurt people."
Lu Heng nodded, expressing his understanding.
After passing the boundary monument, the next road will be much easier. It can be seen that the lanes within the boundary monument will be frequently renovated, and there are few places with potholes.
And the further you go, the more people and farmland appear on both sides of the road. There are more people on the road, and it is no longer like walking in the wilderness for ten days without seeing anyone.
On that night, the inn where the caravan people stayed was no longer the kind of desolate and empty inn. It is someone who manages the money-collecting inn, which is somewhat similar to the inn that Lu Heng knows.
But according to Huo Feng, there is no private post (inn) in this world.
All the post houses are under the jurisdiction of the Fire Temple, and there will be a wizard master from the Fire Temple in the post house to prevent evil spirits from mixing into the business.
The post house in the city is facing the Fire Temple, only one street away from the Fire Temple. At such a close distance, a demon with a low cultivation base cannot hide itself at all.
As for the evil spirits with high cultivation, they don't need to hide in the crowd, so this management method can't prevent them.
As there were wizards in the inn where the caravan stayed tonight, it was inconvenient for Lu Heng to enter, so he and the merchants said goodbye on the road.
Although demon cultivators are also divided into evil cultivators and true cultivators, demon cultivators who do not eat people, do not do evil, and do not practice magic arts can stay in the post house. Only those evil spirits who do evil cannibalism and are full of evil spirits are not welcome.
But Lu Heng was in a special state. If he went to the inn, the wizard who was in the inn would see that he was a demon cultivator, and he would have to open his eyes to observe. And once the wizard opened his eyes... ugh...
Thinking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh.
The development of this hidden qi and hidden magic is really important to him, but he still has no clue.
Even if Lu Heng had a headache, there was nothing he could do.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the caravan, Lu Heng took Xiao Ai and Huo Feng straight south.
The further you go, the more people on the road. Lu Heng was worried that he would meet curious practitioners on the road and would cause many accidents, so he planned to walk through the wilderness, stay away from the crowd, and then return to the road until he left the range of the boundary monument.
Lu Heng and Xiao Ai were with Xiuwei, and the rugged mountains and forests could not stop them. And Huo Feng's barge horse travels thousands of miles a day and is extraordinary. The cliffs and cliffs are like walking on the ground, and it is not difficult to carry Huo Feng through the wilderness.
Therefore, the three of them fled directly into the forest and walked through the wilderness.
When night fell, they found a place downwind to camp and lit a bonfire in the mountains.
This familiar scene seemed to return to the time when Lu Heng and Xiao Ai had just descended the mountain. Only one man and one wolf walked silently in the wilderness.
But now there is a Huo Feng around...
After stopping to rest, Huo Feng will try hard to gather the spiritual energy in his body. It's just that the Tao's heart is broken, his spiritual energy is disordered, and he has lost his cultivation base, no matter how hard he tries, he can't do it.
But Huo Feng was not discouraged. After feeding the fat bird in the cage, the young man laughed and chatted with the wolf god.
In the past few days of conversation, Huo Feng found that Lord Wolf God was very interested in the mundane things in the world, so he took the initiative to share some of his experiences and knowledge in the past few years with Wolf God.
The people of Cloud Gate traveled in all directions and had extensive experience. After chatting with Huo Feng in the past few days, although there is no clue about the technique of hiding one's breath and hiding the spirit, Lu Heng's knowledge has been enriched a lot.
If he went to talk to people now, there would probably be no more embarrassing things that misunderstood common sense.
In the wilderness, Lu Heng and others camped out to rest.
On the road, the caravan that separated from them rested overnight at the post house outside the city, set off early the next morning, and arrived at the post house in Baishi City before dark.
Compared with the post houses outside the city, the post houses in Shiroishi Castle are much larger. Many traders lived in this post house and would not leave until the goods they carried were sold out and new ones were purchased.
This process often lasts for a long time, and sometimes even stops in a city for a month or two. Therefore, the inn was full of people, lively and noisy.
After Xin Sheng and others arrived, they found the manager of the inn. After registering and paying the fees, they drove the pack beasts into the beast pen under the leadership of the manager.
Then everyone unloaded the goods on the back of the pack beast into the house, agreed on a time to meet tomorrow morning, and then separated for a short time.
This Baishi city is prosperous and lively, and there is a hook bar not far from the post. Everyone in the caravan is a man with strong blood, and now he didn't even eat dinner, so he smiled and went to the direction of the goulan.
It's just that Xin Sheng is old and has no interest in this kind of thing, so he didn't go.
He went downstairs with two old brothers who were also uninterested and went to the lobby for dinner.
At this time, it happened to be lunch time, and the hall was full of people, and there was not even a space on the second floor.
The only thing that looked empty was a spot by the window on the second floor.
In the evening, the cold night wind blew in, but there was only a red-haired woman sitting by the window on the second floor.
In the noisy and noisy hall, the woman was alone, but there were five or six dishes on the table in front of her, making people wonder if she could finish so many dishes by herself.
And Xin Sheng and others watched for a while, and found that the woman was more interested in wine than food. She drank the wine in the glass cup by cup, but the dishes only took a few times. At first glance, she was a person who was addicted to alcohol.
Xin Sheng and the others hesitated for a while, but in the end they didn't dare to go up and talk to the table.
This woman is so eccentric, and her temperament is different from that of ordinary people. If a businessman like them is disturbed, I am afraid that they will not be able to provoke them.
So Xin Sheng sighed and said, "Let's go back to the house, just ask the back kitchen to deliver the food directly to the house."
Xin Sheng's words were naturally echoed by the two old brothers.
But just as they were about to go downstairs, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Eh? Isn't this Brother Xin Shengxin? I didn't expect to meet you in this White Rock City. It's really fate."
This familiar laughter made Xin Sheng and the three all stop and turn around to look.
In the hall, a merchant with a beard on his face stood up and waved to them with a smile, "If you don't mind, why don't you sit down and make a table together?"
Xin Sheng looked at the big man with beard and beard in surprise, thought about it, and finally remembered the identity of the other party.
There was also a smile on his face, "Who am I supposed to be... It turns out to be Brother Liu, haha... It's a coincidence that you came to Baishi City too."
Taking the two old brothers by his side, Xin Sheng smiled and walked towards the bearded strong man, cupped his hands and said, "It's been three years since we said goodbye to Thousand Needles City."
The three of Xin Sheng came, and the companions beside the bearded strong man also stood up one after another, and everyone greeted each other.
Although the table was already full, everyone still found a buddy to add three stools, barely crowding the table.
For those who are in business, they can meet many interesting people when they travel far and wide. Now that I meet my old friend in a foreign country, it is naturally very happy.
After the three of Xin Sheng joined, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more lively.
Laughter sounded from time to time, and everyone talked about some of the things they had encountered after parting, and their plans to come to Shiraishi City on this trip.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
But everyone didn't want to leave the feast. Even though the dishes on the table had been eaten, the laughter continued, and they all drank red-faced and happy.
And as time passed, the number of people dining on the second floor also changed. Except for Xin Sheng and the others, the woman in red by the window never left.
She occupied a table by herself, drinking leisurely, and occasionally adding a dish or two. But because of his special temperament, he didn't dare to bother.
During the period, the back kitchen took the initiative to come out and warm up the dishes for the woman. The respectful attitude of the head of the post when facing this woman made Xin Sheng and others reconfirm that the identity of this red-haired woman was indeed noble and extraordinary.
Fortunately, they didn't rush up to disturb...
In the chat and laughter, someone asked Xin Sheng about their current situation.
Afterwards, they talked about the fact that the cultivators invited by Xin Sheng and the others are leaving now, and they are going to find another cultivator in Baishi City for protection.
And, the magical wolf god encountered in the wilderness.
When the three Xin Sheng talked about this matter, they all smiled and respected the wolf god.
When the rest of the people heard that Xin Sheng, they were fortunate enough to be given the wine by the wolf god, and all the wonders of the peach blossom wine, they were even more envious.
Amidst the laughter of everyone, only the red-haired woman by the window turned her head in surprise and looked here.
"Oh?" The red-haired woman whispered in surprise, "Wolf God?"
She smiled, but didn't speak. She just sat by the window like this, sipping the wine in her glass leisurely, and listening to the businessmen not far away talking in high spirits about the extraordinary things of the wolf god.
The word fate is really interesting.
The woman smiled and drank another glass of wine.
Chapter 85 Parade
Inside the inn, the atmosphere of Xin Sheng and others' dinner party became more and more enthusiastic.
The white wolf god was so extraordinary that he heard the envy of the merchants surnamed Liu and others. After hearing that the wolf god had left south, he sighed even more.
Although Xin Sheng did not mention the most bragging experience of the alien beasts Rhinoceros Qu and Hong Niangzi, the mere fact that the wolf god bestowed wine was worth their hype.
The efficacy of the peach blossom wine is even more praised as rare in the world, which makes the rest of the businessmen feel itchy and envious.
However, the exaggerated boasting among the traders, although the atmosphere was lively, the red-haired woman by the window shook her head.
After sitting by the side and listening for a while, after confirming that there was no more useful information to be heard, the woman stood up and walked straight outside.
The steward who was standing in the distance quickly came up and obeyed the order.
Standing at the entrance of the stairs, the red-haired woman looked back at the Xinsheng people who were chatting hotly, thought for a while, and said, "The stories of these people are interesting, so let them waive the meal money tonight."
She smiled and said, "It's hard work to make the story so interesting, hahaha..."
After speaking, the red-haired woman left with a big smile.
The manager was a little confused. Although he didn't know what happened, he obediently waived the bill for Xin Sheng and others.
And the red-haired woman did not go far after leaving the inn, but walked straight into the Fire Temple opposite the inn.
In front of her, the Fire Temple, which is difficult for ordinary people to set foot on, is like wandering in her own garden, and no one dares to stop her.
A quarter of an hour later, dozens of white silhouettes flew out of the Fire Temple, turning into dozens of misty white smoke and disappeared into the dark night in the south of the city.
All the parades in the entire White Rock City are all out of the city at this moment.
In the wilderness, Lu Heng and the others were lucky to find a cave. Although the space inside the cave is not large, it is enough for shelter from the wind.
After lighting the campfire, Xiao Ai caught a pheasant in the mountain and prepared dinner for Lord Wolf God.
As for Huo Feng, I have no interest in this kind of cooking that takes a lot of time. He took out the dry food in his bag and chewed it for a while. After filling his stomach, he sat on the side with cross-legged concentration and continued to try to gather the spiritual energy in his body.
Although the effect is almost insignificant, it is already the homework that Huo Feng has to do every day, and he has never slackened.
Lu Heng closed his eyes and continued to study the technique of concealing the spirit and concealing the qi. But so far, still no results.
