Song Lun had no objection to Ji Yuan's proposal, but his eyes were a little dazed, but he recovered in a very short time and immediately responded.
"Junior obeys the order!"
Ever since Ji Yuan entered Wuliang Mountain, also known as Liangjie Mountain, and met Zhong Pingxiu, Song Lun never called himself "Song Mou" or "I" in front of Ji Yuan again, and always referred to himself as "junior".
Ji Yuan couldn't find Shi Jiu, but he knew that Song Lun, as a master, should be able to find his apprentice, well, to be exact, his former apprentice. When he asked, he found out that it was true. Although he asked Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian to infiltrate the Apocalypse Alliance, he would not mind knowing some information earlier.
Also with the help of the power of the strong wind, ten days later, Song Lun and Ji Yuan had returned to Yunzhou, but they did not go to Zu Yue Kingdom, but went directly to Tian Bao Kingdom. Even if he did not come down from the strong wind, Ji Yuan, who was high in the sky, could still see the anger of the people.
"Tianbao Kingdom..."
Ji Yuan muttered to himself, and Song Lun, who was standing beside him, heard Ji Yuan's voice and echoed him.
"Mr. Ji is right. This place is Tianbao Country. The surrounding countries all call it Tianbao Country. It is considered one of the great countries in the Eastern Land of Yunzhou. But to be honest, Yunzhou's fate has returned to the south. The disputes between Dazhen and Zuyue have lasted for a hundred years. In fact, it is also a metaphor. Now it seems that it has returned to Dazhen."
When Song Lun said this, Ji Yuan heard it as if the other party was saying that Dazhen won the battle because you, Mr. Ji, were in Dazhen. But Ji Yuan didn't agree with it in his heart. The outcome of the battle between Zuyue and Dazhen had basically been decided long before Ji Yuan appeared, and Zuyue Kingdom was just holding on.
"Sir, we will be there soon. You don't have to do anything for a while. I can do it for you!"
After all, this was the land of the past, and it was enough for Song Lun to be a master to this extent. Ji Yuan could also understand some of Song Lun's feelings. Even now, he still had some friendship in mind. He implied that he was afraid that if Ji Yuan took action personally, Shi Jiu would not be able to bear it. Ji Yuan did not say it out loud, but nodded to show his agreement.
"Fellow Daoist Song, please do as you please. I just want to know more."
Zhong Pingxiu and Song Lun's previous focus was only on finding ancient immortals, finding suitable successors, and keeping an eye on Liangjie Mountain and some major events in the immortal way. As for the so-called "Apocalypse Alliance", such demonic forces were not even in their eyes. Even if they knew about it, they would not care. There are so many demonic forces in the world, and this is just one of them, and it is not even considered a low-level one.
But since Ji Yuan cares so much about this, Song Lun will have to redefine the so-called "Apocalypse Alliance" in his mind.
"Mr. Ji, the evil creature is now hiding in that burial mountain."
Songlun in the clouds pointed to a mountain in the distance that was neither too big nor too small. From a vague glance, the outer hilltops did not have much green and looked bare. Ji Yuan could not see clearly, but according to Songlun, those hilltops should be groups of tombs.
The sun is already very low, and judging from the sky, it may be dark in less than an hour. In the distance, there is a large area of death surrounding a mountain. It is like this now because the power of the sun has not dissipated yet. When the sun sets, it is estimated that the air will be filled with yin and death.
Song Lun and Ji Yuan also landed early in a place far away from the mountain, approaching the mountain at a speed that was not fast but definitely not slow.
"Mr. Ji, I haven't seen that evil creature for two hundred years since he fell into evil ways. He is extremely alert now and has many ways to save his life. If we just ride the cloud over there, he will inevitably escape. If we go to that mountain, he won't be able to see through us."
Song Lun was still somewhat confident in his ability to restrain his aura, as for Mr. Ji, there was no need to mention him.
Ji Yuan nodded without saying much. He had experienced some of Shi Jiu's hiding skills. Through Song Lun, Ji Yuan could at least determine that Shi Jiu should be here at the moment. It would be best if Song Lun was sure to keep the other party. If he really failed to capture Shi Jiu because of the master-disciple relationship, Ji Yuan planned to use the Immortal Binding Rope or even the Green Ivy Sword to make up for it.
As the two walked towards the burial mountain, they saw some paper money and other things on the ground. There were also some carriages coming towards them, some of which had white flowers hanging on them. Some of the people in the carriages seemed to be sobbing, and it seemed that their relatives were being buried.
There were two waves of carriages and horses like this passing by, and when the third wave came, it was a long procession of carriages and horses. Ji Yuan took a quick look with his blurry eyes and saw that there were at least a dozen carriages of different sizes, and there were quite a few attendants and even guards accompanying them. It seemed that they were either wealthy families or high-ranking officials.
Ji Yuan and Song Lun naturally moved to the side of the road to make it easier for the carriages and horses to pass. People coming towards them, whether they were riding tall horses or walking, all looked at Ji Yuan and Song Lun. Even a few people in the carriages who lifted the curtains to look at the scenery noticed them, because the time was really strange.
A man with a short beard, wearing a gorgeous suit, a long crown and a tough face, nodded and promised something to the carriage beside him, then drove his horse away from the original carriage. Before the convoy approached, he approached Ji Yuan and Song Lun and asked a question in a loud voice.
"You two gentlemen are dressed elegantly and look quite handsome. It's already late. Are you going to the mountain to offer sacrifices alone?"
As the man's voice spread, some people who had not noticed Ji Yuan and Song Lun began to pay attention to them, and people in many carriages lifted the side curtains to look outside.
Before Ji Yuan could say anything, Song Lun smiled and bowed.
"My husband and I walked slowly. It was still early when we came here, and the sun was about to set when we got here. But since we are here, we have to go to the tomb and take a look!"
A few more people came over to the man, each riding a tall horse and carrying a weapon. They narrowed their eyes and looked closely at Song Lun and Ji Yuan.
"That's not right! Sir, if you go up the mountain now, it will be dark when you come down. Are you going to sleep on the grave at night? Not many people dare to come here after dark, let alone you two. And, since you are here to offer sacrifices, why don't you bring any offerings?"
Seeing that these people did not return the gifts, Songlun put away the gifts and his smile.
"We came in a hurry and forgot to prepare. Although the mountain path is not as wide as the main road, it is not too narrow either. We can just walk on each side."
"Hehehe... Tomb Hill is not that close to the town. Did you forget to bring offerings when you come here?"
Ji Yuan, who was on the side of Songlun, smiled, looked at the people on the horses beside him, and then looked at the group of carriages and horses that were getting closer and closer.
"My dear officers, we are just going to the mountain to take a look. It doesn't matter whether there are tributes or not."
After saying this, Ji Yuan and Song Lun took another step forward, but the man who asked the question shouted instead.
"stop!"
"How do you know we are errand boys?"
Ji Yuan and Song Lun stopped and glanced at each other. How did he know? Of course he could tell by observing the Qi, but he couldn't be so straightforward, so Ji Yuan still spoke patiently.
"Your team is huge, and your entourage is well-organized. All of them ride fine horses, and their attire is also relatively uniform. Even if ordinary wealthy families have the financial resources to hire people, they don't have such formalities and majesty. Moreover, I have seen many people on duty who are as arrogant as you. Is it wrong to call you a messenger?"
After laughing, Ji Yuan shook his head slightly, and walked away again with Song Lun. The man on the horse was stunned for a moment by Ji Yuan's stab. His calm demeanor was truly outstanding. But when he saw the two men leaving and was about to speak again, a voice came from an oncoming carriage.
"Zhiqiong, it's OK."
"yes!"
The man said no more and winked towards the back. The guards all understood what he meant, but apart from being on guard, no one stopped Ji Yuan and Song Lun, allowing them to pass by the carriages coming from the opposite direction.
In one of the carriages, an elderly man was looking at Ji Yuan and Song Lun through the beaded curtain of the carriage window, while the latter two did not look directly at the carriage, or at any carriage or person, but just watched the road slowly moving forward.
Soon after Ji Yuan and Song Lun passed the entire convoy, the guards in the team gradually relaxed their hostility towards the two. The man in tight clothes and long crown rode his horse closer to the carriage and whispered something to the other party.
"Yes, well, I'll be right there..."
The man on horseback was suddenly stunned in the middle of his words, because he looked up to the back of the carriage team and found that the figures of the two people just now were so far away that they were somewhat blurry.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, those two have already..."
As the man spoke, he subconsciously looked up again. The other person's figure was now just two small dots in the distance, and it could not even be seen now.
"They've disappeared... These two are really hiding their abilities! Their Qinggong skills must be extremely advanced!"
"Yeah… "
The people in the carriage frowned.
"That's right! These two are really good at fighting. I should have thought of them wearing such loose clothes while hiking on the mountain trail. Fortunately, they really have no hostility towards us!"
The man in the carriage smiled when he heard this.
"So when facing those who are not easily surprised by praise or criticism, they must be people with special skills. There is no harm in speaking a little more politely."
"Yes, I am learning from you!"
"Let's go, it's getting dark."
The man on horseback saluted again, then waved his hand, signaling the carriage team to speed up appropriately. This was not purely to guard against Ji Yuan and Song Lun, but it was indeed not suitable to go to the Tomb Mound Mountain after nightfall.
