Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 87: The City Lord's Concubine (29)

In front of the entrance of Zheng’s Escort Agency, a long line of people slowly formed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Fu Hengyan and Shen Yao stood in the middle of the team. In front of them were the people from the escort company who were responsible for clearing the way and were also the main force of this escort trip.

Travelers who later pay to take this route on their own do not need the escort company to be responsible for their safety, they just travel with the escort company in the name of affiliation.

Shen Yao had nothing to do, so she simply said something to Fu Hengyan and followed the team back.

As a result, she actually ran into someone she knew, Sun Tao and Zhang Laosan, who had escaped from Chengling Temple a few days ago.

Shen Yao did not come over. In addition, there were many pedestrians passing by, and Sun Tao and Zhang Laosan were talking with their heads down, so they did not notice Shen Yao not far away.

No one knew what the two men said, but Zhang Laosan sent Sun Tao away with a look of shame and annoyance on his face. He then turned around and sent several people of different ages, both men and women, onto two carriages pulled by ordinary horses.

He went to find a responsible escort in the area. The two talked for a while. Then Zhang Laosan came back with a relaxed look on his face and drove the two carriages forward for a distance.

"Third brother, are we really going to leave Moonfall City?"

An old man's voice came from inside the carriage, and Zhang Laosan perked up, "Dad, for our safety, we have to go first.

Don't worry, once the matter in Yueyun City is resolved smoothly, your son will take you and Wu Niang back together."

Although the possibility is very low, Zhang Laosan can only comfort his family in this way.

Otherwise, what can be said? There is something fishy about the Chu family, suspected of betraying the Tianjian Sect and the imperial court. Anyone who spreads such evil words will be beheaded!

Reaching out and wiping his face vigorously, Zhang Laosan tried his best to make himself look normal.

call

He couldn't panic, and he couldn't lose his composure. This was top-secret information that his boss had sent out at the risk of his life. He had to send himself and his boss's family out no matter what.

As for Qian Laoer, since he doesn't believe in the eldest brother, he can only wish for good luck.

Nowadays, there are a lot of gossips, and everyone should mind their own business and not worry about other people's troubles.

In front of the empty horse, Fu Hengyan looked at Shen Yao who had returned and waved with a smile, "Are you back?"

Shen Yao nodded, and the two of them got on the carriage and put up the soundproof cover again.

"I saw two acquaintances."

After telling Fu Hengyan about Zhang Laosan and Sun Tao, Shen Yao took out a soft pillow made of Yingling grass from her storage bag, placed it on the couch, and lay down to rest.

Fu Hengyan's expression remained unchanged. He picked up a plate of spiritual fruits placed in front of the Eight Immortals Table and handed it to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao took it and while eating, she and Fu Hengyan speculated as to why the other party was so eager to leave Yueyun City.

Fu Hengyan lowered his head and sat on the half of the couch that Shen Yao had vacated. "The situation in Yueyun City is about to change. Some people with a keen sense of smell will send their families away in advance."

The news sent to Tianjian Sect earlier was leaked for some reason.

Fu Hengyan told Shen Yao the exact signal that the court was about to take action.

Shen Yao was not surprised, "Is it necessary to leave?"

If the situation was critical, Fu Hengyan would not take Shen Yao away from Yueyun City.

Fu Hengyan looked indifferent, "I don't know, whether he escaped or made things worse, it all depends on what those people in the Chu family think."

However, Fu Hengyan still felt that if he stayed in Yueyun City, his chances of survival would be greater.

In the past few days, many people in the Chu family have disappeared, and no one has seen them alive or dead.

Fu Hengyan once used his fingers to predict the future, and risked being injured by the backlash of cause and effect, but he still couldn't see what the future would hold.

In the end, Fu Hengyan chose to believe Shen Yao, which is why the two of them were on their way normally.

As for the other people in Yueyun City, Fu Hengyan only found a glimmer of hope in the city.

As for the rest, Fu Hengyan shook his head, "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

After listening to Fu Hengyan's profound words, Shen Yao felt that things might not be that simple.

Could it be possible that the group of people who left with the escort company would have a busy journey?

Before the escort team set out, they specifically informed Shen Yao and mentioned the place where the convoy would stop to rest next time.

"Zhaoyang Mountain?"

Shen Yao murmured, turned around and took out the map of Luoxing County in her hand to check it.

This place is located in a valley between Yueyun City and Qingfengjian.

Someone once saw the sun rising here and merging with the sun in the sky, hence the name Zhaoyang.

However, there are some problems with this statement. The reason is that the geographical location of Luoxing County is unique. The sun and the moon do not coexist at the same time. It is a paradox in itself that there is a sun where there is a moon.

The road ahead was like walking on flat ground as if it were floating in the air. Shen Yao was so bored sitting on the couch that she simply found some travel notes about Luoxing County and read them.

The contents of the travel notes are mostly about local customs and practices, such as the distribution of cities in Luoxing County, the origins of the city’s early names, and several famous secret realms or trial sites scattered around the city.

After all, this is the world of cultivation. Even though it is peaceful and prosperous, what people value more is the improvement of their cultivation.

With Shen Yao's current cultivation level, it would take a long time for him to advance to the late stage of foundation building.

But this did not prevent her from learning more about the more interesting information in front of her.

What if? The world of cultivation is not just a one-time thing. Keep some taboos and sayings in mind. You never know when they will all come in handy.

With this in mind, Shen Yao lowered her head and read the book more seriously.

Before they knew it, the Takong horses had stopped, and the escort team finally took a rest after a whole day's journey.

Shen Yao lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage. He looked at the escort company that had already set up camp, and casually called over a young escort to ask where this was.

"To answer your question, we are on the way to Zhaoyang Mountain. Let's take a short rest and then continue on our way. We will reach Zhaoyang Mountain early tomorrow morning."

"How do you survive the poisonous miasma forest when walking at night?"

Shenyang and Fu Hengyan entered Yueyun City and stayed in Chengling Temple to rest because of the poisonous miasma.

The poisonous miasma forest surrounds Yueyun City. Although their current direction out of the city is opposite to that when they entered the city, the poisonous miasma forest outside is still there.

The young escort master said with a relaxed expression, "There is a Xiguang Liuming flower in the escort company. This flower can be used to dispel the invasion of poisonous miasma."

Shen Yao was surprised, "Xiguang Liuming Flower?" It is said that this is a magical flower that can drive away all miasma and poison.

"This flower only grows on the miasma-ridden Liuming Island in Nanzhou. It must have cost a lot for the escort company to have this flower."

At least not everyone can enter Liuming Island, and Liuming Island is in Nanzhou.

Nanzhou is the territory of Buddhists. Once you enter Nanzhou, even a mosquito has to kneel down and kowtow to the Buddha.

Thinking of entering Nanzhou and getting out of it unscathed is basically just a pipe dream.

"What the senior said is true, this flower is one of the magical treasures of our escort company.

It is said that when the Xiguang Liuming flower blooms, it has three calyxes, upper, middle and lower, and has excellent effects.

We only have the smallest of these flowers in our escort company, and we usually use them to dispel poisonous miasma."

These words had obviously been said many times, so it was not difficult for the young escort to explain them.

He even led people away when Shen Yao mentioned that she wanted to take a look at the Xiguang Liuming flower.

It was only the size of a palm, with only the stem and the lonely seven-petal pattern left. The flower, which was emitting golden light as bright as the morning light, caught Shen Yao's eyes.

Pretty

Shen Yao looked at the flowers, and all kinds of words of praise emerged in her mind.

It is worthy of being called a sacred flower by the Buddhist practitioners in Nanzhou. It is indeed sacred and elegant.

Well, when she goes to Nanzhou, she will definitely collect one.

"You like it?"

Fu Hengyan looked at Shen Yao who had returned, his amber eyes clear as water. He simply took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao felt complicated. Based on her years of experience with Fu Hengyan, she knew that the wooden box must contain items related to the Xiguang Liuming Flower.

Shen Yao silently opened the jade box in front of her, and her eyes hurt from the dazzling light.

He is really a rich man, and the kind of person who is unaware of his wealth.

For a moment, Shen Yao felt a little sour, like a lemon.

What Fu Hengyan handed to Shen Yao was a three-petal Xiguang Liuming flower.

The golden light filled the entire jade box, and the swastika Buddhist mantra could be seen faintly on the petals.

I feel that the Xiguang Liuming Flower in my hand is more valuable than those in the escort business.

"This was given to me by Master Jingchen. He helped the Wanfo Temple a little in Nanzhou in his early years."

Fu Hengyan explained it very easily, but Shen Yao looked down at the jade box in her hand and felt that there might be some discrepancy in her small explanation.

This Dawn Flowing Flower is imbued with a strong Buddhist aura and bears the symbol of Buddhism.

Not to mention its ability to dispel poisonous miasma, I'm afraid it can even restrain evil spirits.

After all, Buddhist things are the most authentic and pure, and have always been the nemesis of certain evil things.

Fu Hengyan, does this person have any other treasures that I don’t know about?

Without waiting for Shen Yao to speak, Fu Hengyan naturally took out the storage bag and handed it to Shen Yao.

"Some of them are thank-you gifts or gifts given to me by others in the past years.

If you like, you can pick it up for yourself.”

Fu Hengyan was not interested in such material things. If Shen Yao had not seen the Xiguang Liuming Flower today, he would not have remembered anything about him and Monk Jingchen.

To some extent, Fu Hengyan is a person who is very easy to get along with but difficult to approach.

Fortunately, Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan have a close relationship and are familiar with Fu Hengyan's temperament.

Shen Yao took the storage bag handed to her by Fu Hengyan with a smile and nodded. After confirming with Fu Hengyan again and again that there was nothing in it that she could not touch, Shen Yao turned around and sat on the couch to fiddle with it.

The jade boxes in the storage bag were taken out and opened one by one.

It only took Shen Yao a cup of tea for her to go from being surprised at first to remaining calm afterwards.

It is true that Fu Hengyan is extremely rich, he is simply a walking spirit stone mine.

"Xili Chunhua Grass, Netherworld Bone-Breaking Grass, Evergreen Spirit Vine, Three-Leaf Green Lotus, Purple-Leafed Orchid Grass, Earth Fire Ganoderma..."

These are the raw materials for refining various elixirs, and some of them can improve physical fitness if swallowed directly.

In addition, there are cockscomb sunflower, Tianxin flower, Muling three-needle flower, Qianhuan Jialan, Gastrodia elata jade stone essence, seven-color moon orchid and other spiritual flowers and plants with endless uses.

After seeing what happened later, Shen Yao no longer needed to speak. After all, it would be strange if one could remain calm after seeing so many good things!

I'm really envious. How come she can't even hold all these treasures?

The villain in Shen Yao's heart bit the handkerchief while stuffing the jade boxes into his storage tools.

It's not that she didn't want to leave some for Fu Hengyan. Shen Yao would never touch some spiritual objects that were useful for Fu Hengyan's cultivation.

Shen Yao will also keep some spiritual objects that are useful to the children separately.

The spiritual objects that Shen Yao took the most were similar to the Xiguang Liuming Flower.

After all, good looks don't have much use, so Shen Yao accepted it and can use it occasionally.

If it was simply left with Fu Hengyan, it would just be thrown aside and gathered into dust.

Shen Yao adhered to the principle of not wasting anything and simply kept all of it for herself.

After finishing these tasks, the escort team unknowingly set off again.

Shen Yao opened the glazed jade cup in the carriage and took out the spiritual meal that she had packed earlier from the storage ring.

Fu Hengyan consciously sat down to accompany Shen Yao. The two of them did not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. Shen Yao spoke whatever she wanted to say, and Fu Hengyan would occasionally say a few words to continue the topic.

The escort team traveled day and night without stopping, especially at night, when there was a lumen flower on the front of the car that continuously emitted golden light, making the dark night road clearly visible.

Maybe because they had just left Yueyun City, the road was relatively calm and the escort team's convoy did not encounter any trouble.

Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan adjusted their breathing throughout the night, and when they opened their eyes, they saw the valley filled with the dim morning light.

We have arrived at Zhaoyang Mountain.

The carriages began to stop and the escort team members were busy feeding the horses.

Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan got out of the car and walked back and forth around the open space.

Zhaoyang Mountain is very large, and they have just arrived. It will take another two days to cross it smoothly.

This convoy departing from Yueyun City and heading to Rongcheng will arrive in one month if all goes well.

From this, we can see how much time we need to spend on the road.

The wind brushed across her cheek, blowing up the few strands of hair that were scattered on Shen Yao's forehead.

Shen Yao changed her makeup and outfit today, which made her lips red, teeth white and her face pretty. She used the Emei Moon Hairpin that she bought from Yueyun City.

"Let's talk to the escort company later, and we can go to Zhaoyang Mountain to take a look."

Fu Hengyan put the floor-length cloak on Shen Yao and looked ahead at the half of the valley dyed red by the morning light.

Shen Yao stretched out her hands to hold the two sides of the cloak, "Why bother? I heard from the escort agent that the scenery will be even better when we leave Zhaoyang Mountain in two days.

We can take a look while we rest, so it won't be a wasted trip."

At this time, the benefits of the photo stone become apparent.

Shen Yao engraved the beautiful scenery that she thought was nice on the photo stone so that she could look at it at her leisure time.

Photo stones are very similar to modern mobile phones, but they have one advantage over mobile phones: they will never be insufficient no matter how you use them.

An egg-sized photo-taking stone can be used by yourself for a long time.

Shen Yao hid the light green transparent stone in her hand, then turned around and left with Fu Hengyan.

As a result, before the two of them could reach their own carriage, they heard a quarrel in the distance.

Shen Yao looked up and saw a crowd of people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.

Looking around, Shen Yao learned from a middle-aged man coming from a distance that someone was missing and was now making a fuss and wanted to go back to look for him.

"Well, how can we find someone? Besides, it's just along the way for the escort company, so the escort company must be willing to help."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was pulled away by the person he was traveling with. The two of them whispered to each other, and their voices were not lowered deliberately, and they all floated into Shen Yao's ears.
