It was a dark night, and the wind was biting.
He has a black robe, long black hair, and a divine sword on his back. The scabbard is also black, but his eyebrows are white. The two eyebrows are like two sword blades. When the eyes are closed, there seems to be a sword glow. This stern man in black robe and white eyebrows was walking in the forest, followed by three people behind him.
Two men and one woman, both looked young.
"Feng'er." The stern man in black robe and white eyebrows said.
Among the three people behind him, the young man who looked the smartest even said respectfully: "Master!"
"You have been in my sect for thirteen years." The black-robed and white-browed man said indifferently, "However, your progress in cultivation is too slow. You are one of the three major disciples selected for the teacher, and there is no one among thousands of people with qualifications. , and there are various spirit treasures to assist you, but up to now, you have not stepped into the innate world!"
The young man's complexion changed drastically, he knelt down with a plop, and said repeatedly: "Master, I am ashamed." He is the only one among the three major disciples under his master who has not stepped into Xiantian.
"It stands to reason that I should abolish your martial arts and drive you out of the gate."
Hearing what the master said, the young man was very disturbed, he knew very well how strict the master was.
"I'll give you a chance."
The expression of the man in black robe and white eyebrows did not change at all, "Three days ago, the caravan organized by Hu's firm set off from the city of Huyue County. It should arrive at our place tomorrow evening. I order you to join the caravan as a merchant." Immediately , the black-robed and white-browed man took out a portrait from his arms and threw it at his apprentice.
The quick-witted young man stayed connected and looked carefully at the portrait. The person in the portrait is very ordinary and seems to be a very approachable person.
"This person, named 'Qin Wei', is also an idle merchant in this caravan." The black-robed and white-browed man said indifferently, "However, that's just his disguised identity. His real identity is Guiyuan Zong Teng Qingshan!"
"Teng Qingshan?"
Not only the kneeling disciple, but also the other two disciples standing next to him were taken aback. All three of them looked at the portrait carefully. Teng Qingshan is a figure in legends, although these three are also geniuses, with Lingbao They are assisted by a powerful master and are full of arrogance in their hearts, but they have to admire Teng Qingshan.
Seventeen years old, congenital pill!
This alone makes countless warriors look up. From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who can compare with it.
Now Qinghu Island is chasing him all over the world, and the eight major sects all help... But there is still no news of Teng Qingshan.
My master knows
These three disciples also knew how terrifying their master was, and at the same time, they also understood the astonishing power behind the master.
"Feng'er, your task is, when this Teng Qingshan leaves the caravan and lives in the inn, you immediately report the news to the Yuhuangmen. The Yuhuangmen will notify Qinghu Island." The black-robed and white-browed man said.
Although he was puzzled, the young man still respectfully said: "Yes, Master."
"Master." The only woman among the three stared at the black-robed and white-browed man with breathtaking eyes, "We have no friendship with that Qinghu Island, why are we helping them?"
"This is an order." The black-robed and white-browed man said coldly.
Immediately the three disciples didn't dare to say anything, and the man in black robe and white eyebrows continued: "Feng'er, this matter is of great importance, and there is no room for loss! Don't let that Teng Qingshan find out. That Teng Qingshan's concealment ability is very powerful... Once he If you find out, it will be hard to find if you escape again. If you complete this task perfectly, I will allow you to practice the highest unique art of my lineage, "Yuan Miao Jian Dian"!"
The clever young man was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Yes, master, this disciple vows to complete the task to the death."
…
Yuzhou is located in the center of the entire Kyushu land, and it is also the place where Emperor Yu established his capital. Generally, the people of Yuzhou, especially the people of Yucheng, have a special arrogance. They are all proud of being Yucheng people, and some look down on people from other states.
In Yuzhou, heavy snow like goose feathers is drifting wantonly between the sky and the earth.
A large caravan is marching forward, it is the caravan organized by the Hu's firm that left Qingzhou Huyue County, but now the caravan has reached 900 people. Generally, every time you pass through a city, there will be many idle merchants joining. At the same time, the caravan will also use the commission from the merchants to hire some guards.
"This snow is really heavy, I don't know when it will fall?" That helpless voice came from the left side of Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan was riding a red fire horse, advancing leisurely, but his whole mind was immersed in the realm of oneness, the 'god' was growing like a grass that was watered by rain in this kind of gestation.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin." A voice came from the side.
Teng Qingshan turned his head to look, and next to him was a young man wearing a white leather padded jacket and a fur cap on his head, his pair of smart eyes made this young man look very clever. The young man's name is 'Sun Feng', and he joined the caravan on the fourth day after the caravan left Huyue County. This Sun Feng was very brisk, and Sun Feng knew almost all of Teng Qingshan and his group of idle businessmen.
According to Teng Qingshan's understanding, this is Sun Feng's first time running, so his old housekeeper 'Uncle Wu' also came along.
"Brother Sun." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "It's snowing so heavily, it's better to talk less and rest up."
"You know me too, I can't calm down." Sun Feng laughed and said, "I guess in another ten years, I will be like you, Brother Qin, who can ride for dozens of miles without saying a word."
The old man next to Sun Feng smiled and said, "Brother Qin, my young master is just so naughty, you have to take it easy."
"fine."
Teng Qingshan smiled, "Brother Sun, if you are not tired from the journey, I am. If you want to talk, just say it and I will listen." After finishing speaking, Teng Qingshan looked ahead and rode the horse leisurely.
Sun Feng curled his lips, but sighed secretly in his heart: "This is the nature of mind! I can sit on the horse without saying a word for a long time. If it wasn't for the master, I would have never thought that he is only seventeen years old. Oh... the New Year's Eve It's almost here. When the New Year Festival comes, he will be eighteen years old. He is ten years younger than me. Teng Qingshan, Teng Qingshan, I really don't want you to get into trouble, but... there is an order from the master, if I disobey, you can live , but I'm done."
Sun Feng's expression remained the same.
Although his strength is not as good as his two fellow disciples, he is much better at acting than those two.
…
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Wucheng, Yuzhou!
On the official road.
Teng Qingshan is still in the process of cultivation, for Teng Qingshan today, it is necessary to grasp the cultivation every day.
"Wucheng is ahead." Elder Zhou's voice spread throughout the caravan, "Our caravan is only here for lunch, and we will continue on our way. Try to reach Yucheng before the New Year Festival! This is the front of Yucheng. In the last city, whoever wants to leave the caravan in Wucheng, come and tell me, after dinner, we don’t need to wait for you.”
Immediately, many businessmen greeted their guards and rushed towards Mr. Zhou's place.
Teng Qingshan also rushed over on horseback: "The next city is Yucheng... that's the old nest of Yuhuangmen, there are so many masters there, I'll leave the caravan right here."
Teng Qingshan knew some things about the caravan. If he arrived in Yucheng, he would definitely stay in Yucheng for a few days. Because in the next few days of the New Year Festival, every family celebrates the New Year, and even businessmen will rest for a few days. This is the most important few days of the year, when the time comes, it is almost impossible to find a caravan to set off.
Going alone without a caravan
That would be a lot of trouble.
How long will you stay in Yucheng? There are mixed fish and dragons, too chaotic.
And this Wucheng is a small city, on the same level as Yicheng, not even a county city. There are not many people here, and even fewer masters. After staying here for a few days, Teng Qingshan felt relieved.
"Oh, Brother Qin Wei, are you stopping here too?" When Teng Qingshan passed by, Elder Zhou said in surprise, "Didn't you go to Yanzhou? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Yucheng with us?"
"I'm here in Wucheng, and I still have things to do." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
Elder Zhou didn't mind that, and crossed Teng Qingshan off the list with a smile.
"Brother Qin, are you also resting here in Wucheng?" A voice came from behind, Teng Qingshan turned his head to look, it was Sun Feng and his subordinate Uncle Wu.
"Well, you too?" Teng Qingshan smiled.
Sun Feng nodded and said: "Well, in Wucheng, there is an old friend of my father. Before leaving, my father asked me to bring a gift to send there... However, depending on the time, I guess I will celebrate the New Year in Wucheng this year."
Soon, the caravan entered the city.
A strong man with a big beard greeted: "Brother Qin Wei, Lao Tan, Brother Sun... We all stopped in Wucheng, and there were only twelve people in total. I treat guests, and give me Lao Hou a face. Let's all go together How about going to lunch?"
"Okay."
"Old Hou, it's refreshing enough." Sun Feng laughed.
No one refused, of course Teng Qingshan went to a restaurant for dinner with everyone.
Idle merchants travel the world, making money between life and death, and most of them are very generous. After eating this lunch for an hour and a half, and staying in the afternoon, the local surnamed Hou personally found a very good hotel for the few people who had no place to stay.
"This place is quiet. Although the food is not as good as that of the big restaurant, it is still good." The man surnamed Hou laughed and said, "The day after tomorrow is the New Year Festival. Brothers who have left their hometowns, we can have fun together when we are together."
"Come on, give me a hand!"
The merchants began to move their goods one by one, but they had to live here for several days, and some people would sell their goods here to those who wanted them.
Of course, the goods should be placed in your own room to be at ease.
"Xiaoer, you have to take good care of our horses, and we will give you the money. If the horses are gone, you will be in trouble." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, and at the same time grabbed the rope, he forcibly picked up the two boxes, Then it seemed that he walked towards the accommodation with some difficulty.
"Don't worry, my lord."
One of the waiters laughed and shouted, "It's impossible for this horse to disappear." They all had good eyesight, and a top-grade horse like the Chihuo horse cost nearly a thousand taels of silver. They are only a few dozen taels of silver a year, how can they match it? So of course you have to watch it hard.
When Teng Qingshan had just followed the stairs to the second floor and put the two boxes into the room, he heard a voice—
"Uncle Wu, you stay here to watch the goods, I'm going to visit Uncle Shi."
At this moment, Sun Feng was holding a box, and walked out of the guest room.
