Chapter 286 Winter Rain

The winter rain drizzles, and the fog looks foggy. It is obviously higher than the temperature in Duanliu City, but everyone feels chills.

"Where is this?" Yang Qingyin used spells to evaporate the rain that was facing her. She didn't like her clothes being wet.

Mu Xingqiu, Bad, Xin Youtao, Xiao Qingtao and Sun Yulu also looked around blankly, only Zuo Liuying looked down at the muddy land under her feet, as if she had seen such a bad road condition for the first time in her life.

They stood on a country road and looked at it with their eyes. They were surrounded by rolling mountains, lush vegetation and no people could be seen. There were too many peaks, and the eyes could penetrate the rain curtain, but they could not bypass real obstacles. They could only see more than ten miles away.

"Is this Luanjing Mountain?" Xin Youtao raised his hand to cover his eyes, without saying anything, but the disgust on his face was very obvious.

"It's not the scattered Jingshan." Sun Yulu replied. The only thing she could be sure of was that Zuo Liuying brought them to the south, and she couldn't recognize where it was.

Ten days ago, Zuo Liuying formulated a plan in Duanliu City, that everyone would follow him and ask nothing. He arranged tasks for the five Taoist priests: Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao were responsible for dealing with people, and the head of the Ban Secret Department had no intention of contacting the outside world, and ignored all the miscellaneous tasks; Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin were responsible for the guards, and the Taoist priests were not afraid of any enemies, but Zuo Liuying was still seriously injured, and he thought that fighting was a very boring thing, unless he had to, he would rather hand it over to others for his own sake; Sun Yulu also had a task and was ready to contact the Taoist priests of the Lanzhu Department at any time.

The Great Soul Detainer and others left Duanliu City early. They wanted to hide and only appeared after receiving Zuo Liuying's summons.

In addition, Zuo Liuying did not reveal a word about his entire plan. He then asked everyone to rest and did not inform the date of departure. On the morning of the tenth day, he walked out of the room. He looked up at Gaoyuan Lantian, reached out to feed the three-headed Qilin some gold and silver debris, called out several Pangshan disciples and Sun Yulu through Lan Qizhang's mouth, and then said in person: "Let's go now."

So the few people who were not ready to go, followed him. Zuo Liuying cast a spell with injuries. After flashing more than a dozen times, he finally stopped in a strange place with misty rain. Fortunately, the commonly used things were all in the bag, so he would not be too busy.

"This is the Land of Land." Zuo Liuying finally spoke, his voice more natural than when he spoke for the first time. "Around the mountain ahead, you should be the Land of Land City two hundred miles away."

"Oh." Sun Yulu suddenly realized, "This is Lianhai Mountain in the northwest of Talang City. This mountain leads to the seaside, hence the name, and the southwest is the turbulent briar... "

Zuo Liuying raised her arm and interrupted Sun Yulu without hesitation, "You will introduce it when you are free. We will arrive in Talang City before sunset today."

"Why do you want to go to Rulangcheng? Why don't you go to Luanjing Mountain directly?" Mu Xingqiu insisted on asking clearly. The bald boy on his shoulder nodded repeatedly and cheered for Xiao Qiu.

Zuo Liuying did not answer and said to Xin Youtao: "I need a carriage." He also said to Xiao Qingtao: "I need mortal clothes."

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao were both stunned, not in front of the village or the shop behind. There seemed to be no people within dozens of miles, but they had prepared gold and silver, but couldn't buy anything.

Mu Xingqiu walked to Zuo Liuying, "We need to know the purpose of this trip."

"Look for help." Zuo Liuying's appearance was even younger and more tender than Mu Xingqiu. If it weren't for the cold expression on his face, he would have been scared, but he was only willing to answer these three words.

Mu Xingqiu and others looked at each other. How could the first leader of the Pangshan Ban Secretary Department have a helper in such a place?

Talang Country is a place to recruit disciples in the Luanjing Mountains. Sun Yulu is more familiar with this place, so the doubts of several Taoist priests turned to her. Sun Yulu was a member of the Ministry of Education, but in front of Zuo Liuying, she shrugged and said that she knew nothing.

Yang Qingyin suddenly pointed back: "No need to look for a carriage."

A sound of hooves came from the crackling sound of rain, and a group of mortals came.

Sun Yulu spread her arms to block several people behind her and cast spells quickly. She was many times more skillful than Yang Qingyin's disguise technique. In a blink of an eye, she became an old woman in her sixties and seventies, leaning on a crutch. The other five, including Zuo Liuying, had not changed their appearance, but the clothes on her body turned into ordinary people's clothes, men's short clothes and trousers, and women's cloth skirts. In order to be more realistic, everyone had an extra bag on their shoulders, and they didn't know what was inside. Only Mu Xingqiu knew that his bag was a bald head.

Such illusions can only deceive the eyes of mortals and cannot hide them from Taoist priests with the will of heaven.

Mu Xingqiu glanced around and said to Zuo Liuying: "You have leaked a flaw."

Zuo Liuying glanced at him and had to let the rain drip on his clothes. Soon he became soaked like everyone else.

When the horse team arrived, there were twenty knights, guarding a carriage in the middle. The knights were all wearing the armor of the Yellow Talisman Army. They obviously came from the Holy Talisman Dynasty and found a small group of people on the side of the road, and they stopped.

Xin Youtao was about to come forward to speak, but Sun Yulu signaled that she would come, staggered over, and said to the knight in front: "General, be good, please take us for a ride."

The voice of the knight came from the helmet cover. He seemed to be quite old, and he was a veteran. "Who are you?"

"Our family went to Talangcheng to look for relatives from the village in Qianshan, but they didn't expect that the road was rainy and they were trapped here."

"Family?" The knight was a little confused. An old woman and five young men and women of the same size did not look like a family, and their temperament did not look like an ordinary farmer village girl.

Mu Xingqiu took the lead, "This is grandma. We are all her grandchildren. We are going to Talangcheng to find our father and a few uncles."

Sun Yulu should be ten years old, and Mu Xingqiu and others are all twenty-one or two years old. It is not wrong to be her grandchildren. Only Zuo Liuying is more than twice the ages of them combined, and she is also classified as a grandson by Mu Xingqiu.

The Knight looked at it a few times, "We are not a caravan, don't take out tourists, avoid it, let's go."

"We pay, you can just offer the price." Xin Youtao immediately intervened and sighed in his heart. A prince of his own had actually fallen to the point of bargaining with others in the rain.

The Knight hesitated for a while and shook his head, "This is not a matter of money."

Xin Youtao was about to take out gold and silver. A knight ran from the horse team and shouted: "The master has orders, and it is not easy to go out. Take them on the road together."

The first knight shook his head lightly again, obviously unwilling to do so, but he still ordered a few horses to be freed. Mu Xingqiu pointed at Sun Yulu and Zuo Liuying and said, "Grandmother is old, my cousin is sick. We took him with him to search for medical treatment in the city of Lang. Can they get the two of them on the bus?"

Zuo Liuying refused to act like she was sick. Sun Yulu coughed twice with a cane, making her look even older and weaker.

"You are really trying to be more and more eager, knowing that the car..." The leader knight did not continue to say it, but asked another knight to ask the owner of the car.

Soon an order was sent out from the car, allowing one old and one young to get on the car.

The horse team re-started, Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao rode together, Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao rode together, and followed behind the carriage. After walking a long way, Xin Youtao whispered: "This carriage can hold at least ten people. It is quite stylish, with twenty Huang Fu soldiers guarding... I guess the owner of the carriage is a noble child who came to travel in the country of Lang or visit relatives, and should be the son of the Duke and Marquis."

The bald man in the bag said, "Let me see..."

Xin Youtao hurriedly shoved a few times, causing the bald man to shut up.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't recognize the aristocrat's pomp. He thought of another thing, "Zuo Liuying stopped in such a ghost place, wouldn't he just wait for this group of people?"

Xin Youtao nodded with consent. Although there were a large number of restrictions on the capitals of the vassal states. Flying in various ways would be discovered, the range was only more than a hundred miles, and Zuo Liuying stopped two hundred miles away. It was really strange, "Then this 'master' must be of a big background, but he only brought twenty guards, which was too few."

"Can this be the helper Zuo Liuying is looking for?" Xiao Qingtao asked softly behind Yang Qingyin.

"I'll find out soon." Mu Xingqiu replied in a low voice, becoming more and more disgusted with Zuo Liuying's mysterious approach.

The rain kept falling, not too big or too small. The horse team was walking carefully on the slippery and muddy roads, especially when going downhill, and it was even slower. It was located in the mountainous area and frequently went uphill and downhill. It was impossible for Zuo Liuying to arrive at Talang City before nightfall.

"They don't use talismans, and this is not like aristocrats anymore." Xin Youtao became more and more confused as he observed. In his impression, all nobles rely on the convenience provided by talismans, especially in this kind of weather, the help of talismans is even more important.

Turning over a mountain, the team turned onto the main road. The road was a little flatter, but the rain became heavier.

Mu Xingqiu whispered: "It's not right. These people are taking us in the wrong direction."

Yang Qingyin, who was walking alongside, turned sideways, revealing a small piece of candle in his hand, and the flames swayed in circles, indicating that someone in the team was casting spells in secret.

Mu Xingqiu glanced at the sky eye and immediately realized that the wide road under their feet was an illusion caused by spells. The horse team was actually walking on a wild road several feet wide, but the rain was real, which perfectly concealed the traces of spells.

The four inhaled Taoist priests exchanged their eyes, and Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao suggested that it was safe. This group of people was not clear about us, and there was Zuo Liuying and Sun Yulu, so they didn't have to worry. But Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin had other ideas: Since Zuo Liuying asked them to be responsible for the guards, the two of them didn't want to wait for the high Taoist priests to take action, nor did they want to be kept in the dark.

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao quickly surrendered. When they needed to make an idea, they could not compete with the other two.

Mu Xingqiu took Xin Youtao to urge the horse to speed up, and caught up with the carriage in front in a few steps. The seven or eight cavalrymen behind immediately followed and shouted loudly to "retreat". Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao jumped up and took the opportunity to cast spells. The fireballs and ice thorns flew together in the rain. Mu Xingqiu also waved a long whip and threw them towards the nearest knights.

The battle began immediately. Twenty cavalrymen were on guard and flew quickly to the sky. Five of them reacted slowly. They were hit by Taoist priest Pangshan and fell to the ground, while the others cast spells and fought back.

Everyone is quite close to each other, which is more dangerous than ordinary fighting techniques. Spells often pass by each other, and if you are careless, you will be hit.

"It's a group of casual cultivators!" Xiao Qingtao shouted loudly, recognizing the other party's gorgeous techniques and casual cultivators' journey.

Xin Youtao was the only defender among the four. He was a little panicked when facing more than a dozen spells, "Capture the king first, and take the people in the car..."

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the face of an old strange woman, not surprised by the spells outside, "Master Pangshan really likes to fight, everyone should stop."

The casual cultivators stopped when they heard the order, and Mu Xingqiu fell on the horse's back, still holding the whip in his hand, "Who are you?"

The old woman nodded a long time, as if she was considering whether she should answer. Then she said: "I am Zuo Liuying's aunt and the person he hates the most. I am also a traitor of Taoism, the life-killing master king of nine thousand monks in Lianhaishan."
