Rebirth: Holding on to the golden thigh and showing off

After bidding farewell to Zhuyang County, we set out on the official road again.

Master Chen Ming and Master Chen Yuan are brothers who love wine like their life. Because they owed money for wine to the Treasure Pavilion, they carved these three unique water cylinders as payment.

Master Chen Ming was traveling, so I had never seen him before when I was in the Buddhist sect.

The smell of blood coming from the front made Bai Lingma a little impatient and slowed down his pace.

I looked through the window and saw a caravan resting in the open space ahead, with corpses and blood on the ground.

This road is a shortcut to Yuedong City and can save ten days of travel time, but horse thieves often appear on this road, so fewer people take this route.

Just as we were passing the caravan, a burly man with a long beard stopped our carriage.

"Monks on the carriage, our caravan is willing to pay you to escort us to Yuedong City."

I looked at Xuan Qingli and he made the decision.

"Okay." Xuan Qingli thought about it and agreed.

We also got off the caravan. The whole caravan was resting in a circle, with a purple carriage in the middle.

There were also scattered horse-drawn carriages on the outskirts, and like us, they were stopped by the bearded man on the way and paid to escort them.

"Dear monks, my name is Gu Qin, and I'm the owner of Gu Ji Trading Company in Yuedong City. We will set off now." After he said that, he led the caravan off.

We sat in the front room and walked behind the purple carriage. The only sound on the road was the carriage.

The Bai Ling horse neighed a few times and stopped. At this time, the entire convoy stopped.

Many flaming arrows were shot from the bushes on our left, and everyone drew up their weapons to fight.

Xuan Qingli also took out his life-saving weapon, the Qingmu Whip, and swung the whip in the air, shooting down the arrows shot at us.

Horse thieves also emerged from all directions. Most of them were in the late stage of foundation building. They rushed towards the caravan fearlessly.

Xuan Qingli's whip dance was so powerful that the horse thieves couldn't get within the range of our carriage at all.

After the horse thieves landed, I directed the roots of the bushes to entangle them, making them unable to move.

The two of us have perfect tacit understanding. Destroying their spiritual roots would be a fate worse than death for them.

This is the first time I fight together with Xuan Qingli, it feels so good.

It was relatively easy for us, but it was not so easy for others. Some of the wounds that had been bandaged reopened, and some of them were taking qi-replenishing pills because they lacked spiritual energy.

The purple carriage in the middle was the main target of the horse thieves, and most of the arrows were directed at them, but the carriage had good defense and was not damaged.

Gu Qinzheng and the leader of the horse thieves were evenly matched, and their cultivation levels were both in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the two figures intertwined with each other, and the amazing knife and sword skills were entangled together.

In the end, Gu Qin narrowly won and cut off the arm of the horse thief leader with one knife.

Seeing that he could not defeat the enemy, the bandit leader picked up the broken arm on the ground and shouted, "Retreat, retreat."

The horse thieves who were still able to walk retreated after hearing this, and those who fell to the ground didn't care at all, stumbling onto their horses and leaving in panic.

Gu Qin didn't dare to chase them, so he arranged for his men to capture the living horse thieves, and everyone got on the carriage and left the place first.

Because the smell of blood will attract carnivorous monsters nearby.

We temporarily settled down by a stream, and Guqin walked towards us.

"Brother, your whip skills are very powerful. Do you want to join our Gu Ji Trading Company?" It turned out that they wanted Xuan Qingli to join them.

We declined politely, but Gu Qin offered many more generous conditions, but we were still unmoved. His conditions were indeed very tempting to others.

Seeing that we were unmoved, he could only turn around and leave to check on the injuries of his men.

At this time, the people on the purple horses came down. They were a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, with the same delicate faces, but the girl had a mole under her right eye.

They came down to get some fresh air. I saw that their cultivation had all reached the great perfection of foundation building. When the caravan was trying desperately to protect them, they only knew how to hide in the carriage.

The bloody fight just now affected my appetite. I didn’t want to eat anything. I just stared at the fish in the stream.

Xuan Qingli saw my discomfort and said, "This is the world of cultivation. Just be yourself with a clear conscience."

He doesn't know how to comfort people at all. I didn't answer him and continued looking at the fish. In fact, I knew that I was just depressed.

At this time, the girl of the twins came over, wearing a light yellow dress, "I just saw that you are very good at whipping, be my bodyguard."

Xuan Qingli refused, and the girl did not leave. "What kind of spiritual pet is this? Have you never seen it before?"

After asking, he wanted to reach out and touch me, and I immediately dodged. He still wanted to touch me, so who are you?

Leaving Xuan Qingli behind, I returned to the carriage. After a while he also came in. I saw through the window that the girl looked at our carriage for a long time before she walked away.

The look in her eyes when she left was a little scary. I felt a little uneasy. “Her eyes were a little scary.”

"Don't be afraid." Xuan Qingli also saw it.

It was already dark, and the caravan decided to spend the night here instead of rushing on their journey. They would speed up to reach Yuedong City the next day at dawn.

They invited us to have a barbecue in the evening, but I don’t eat meat and Xuan Qingli doesn’t like to eat either, so we refused.

A group of them gathered around the fire, eating meat and drinking wine, and the twins, a boy and a girl, had maids serving them.

The girl kept looking at our carriage from time to time, and even though we were at such a distance, I knew she was with us.

The night passed peacefully, the bandits did not launch any night attacks, and everyone recovered well.

As soon as the sun rose, we set off. We were still following the twins, speeding all the way.

Two days later, we saw the gate of Yuedong City and people coming and going, because this is one of the entrances to the Misty Forest.

There are small stalls on both sides of the city gate, selling all kinds of spiritual beasts, demon beasts, spiritual plants, elixirs, and talismans.

Gu Qin helped us pay for the entrance fee to the city, and we came to Gu Ji Trading Company and received fifty intermediate spirit stones as a reward.

Just as we were about to leave, the girl stopped us and said, "Thank you very much for escorting us back to Yuedong City. The City Lord's Mansion will host a banquet for everyone tomorrow. You must come."

Everyone then realized that the twins were the city lord's children, Xia Yanhui and Xia Yanjing.

"It is our honor to escort the Young Master and Young Miss."

"We will definitely be there tomorrow."

Everyone else was trying to please him, looking forward to tomorrow's banquet, hoping that they might be appreciated by the city lord.

"I'm very sorry, we have urgent business." Xuan Qingli originally planned to take the reward and not stay any longer.

When we turned around to leave, we found that there was a spiritual official guarding the door. When he saw us, he immediately stepped forward to stop us.

What does Xia Yanjing want to do? She won’t let people leave.

Gu Qin came out to try to persuade us to stay, "Miss, you want to thank us all too. It won't take a day or two to have a nice meal together." Then he turned around and took us to the backyard to rest.

We had no choice but to follow for now, "Xuan Qingli, this banquet is aimed at us."

"Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow."

"Or we can leave tonight." There are only two of us, so we are definitely not going to the City Lord's Mansion to deliver food.

"We can't leave now. There are three people with cultivation above the middle stage of the Golden Core outside watching us." Xuan Qingli sensed that there were quite a few people around.

Get a good rest tonight and recharge your energy.
