Strictly speaking, the route taken by the merchants was very different from the place where Yin Qing and others originally planned to come out. They were not able to cross most of Datong Mountain diagonally, so they crossed over in a short distance as a trick.
But once you reach this side of the mountain, things become a lot easier, especially since there are carriages and horses available for hire next to this big post station.
Although Yin Qing and others have only known each other for a few days, the feelings between the two parties are still very good, but they inevitably have to part ways when they get here.
Although there were newly found herbs to stabilize the injuries, the traveling merchants still had to go to the doctor to check on the injuries. Yin Qing and others also needed to hire carriages and horses to rush to Lishun Fucheng. After saying goodbye, they left separately. What happened that day will definitely be unforgettable.
Sitting in the carriage and walking along the relatively smooth official road, the four scholars felt truly at ease.
“Huh…what happened in the past few days, if I go back to the academy and tell Master and other classmates, do you think they will believe it?”
Lin Xinjie, the most talkative and carefree person, also expressed emotion in his words.
“Should…just listen to it as a story at most?”
Lei Yusheng was not convinced, while Mo Xiu looked at them and then at Yin Qing.
“There is a vixen in Datong Mountain. What should other travelers do if they encounter it? Some people at the inn have heard about it before, but they don’t seem to care about it…”
Before they came out to talk to the people over at Guanyi about their experiences in the mountains, the people over there didn’t sneer at it. They said that some people had also told stories about being seduced by women in the mountains. After they came out, they had been in low spirits, and even If someone in the team was found missing, the people at the station said they had already reported it to the local government.
But it seems useless looking at the situation.
Yin Qing looked at Mo Xiu.
“Hey, of course people from the local county government will also go and take a look, but the difference between the monster and the human crime is still too big, and it is probably not easy to deal with. Instead, official documents were issued to various mountainside villages to let those If a seasoned hunter takes a mountain dog to hunt foxes in the mountains, he might have a miraculous effect.”
This is the result that Yin Qing deduced himself. After seeing those vixens and considering Hu Yun’s situation, he believed that as Lao Gui once said, Dazhen is peaceful after all, and mature monsters are still rare. Yes, the old hunter and the mountain dog should be able to deal with monsters like these vixens.
Speaking of this, Yin Qing also comforted him.
“Don’t think so much. Those foxes may have finished playing. Didn’t you see the **** fox legs and traces of the fight? There were quite a few wolves the night before…”
“Yes…” “Well, Brother Yin is right, and I also think there may really be a mountain **** in Datong Mountain.”
“Yes, this time we really… By the way, there is also Yin Qing’s letter. It really shone that night. Am I not dazzled?”
“Yeah! And the handwriting is really good!” “Not bad, it must be a work by a famous artist.”
Seeing that the three of them were talking about the letter again, Yin Qing didn’t reply angrily.
“As the saying goes, scholars should cultivate awe-inspiring righteousness, and letters should be something similar. As long as we have righteousness in our hearts, sooner or later we will be able to protect ourselves with awe-inspiring righteousness.”
Whether others believe it or not, although Yin Qing knows that this letter is not the case, he still believes in Haoran’s righteousness.
. . .
Ji Yuan did not go directly to Lishun Mansion. He rushed to the boundary of Wanzhou to figure out Yin Qing’s approximate location. When he arrived above Datong Mountain, he just sensed the influence of the original letter. Ji Yuan knew what happened to Yin Qing. .
Only when they arrived at the place, the three foxes happened to be chased and hacked by a group of merchants and escaped from Huangyi, which also made Ji Yuan feel funny.
To be honest, these three vixens are indeed incompetent, but they are still monsters with refined horizontal bones. Being kicked out like this makes even Ji Yuan feel embarrassed for them.
As expected, the three fox demons were still watching with hatred in Shanggang Mountain, and even uttered harsh words to harm people.
Ji Yuan immediately tried his new Yu Lei skill. He couldn’t gather clouds to generate thunder, but he succeeded in drawing a thunder down on this thunderstorm day. Unfortunately, it had no controllability.
I wanted to just collect the three foxes, but along the way, the human Qi of Wanzhou, which was supposed to be a prosperous place, seemed a little sick here. Datong Mountain, a not too big mountain, , can directly breed three vixens with extremely evil thoughts. Obviously, it is unlikely that the wisdom of the earth spirit can cause normal animals to become wise.
As a mountainous location, Datong Mountain’s thick converging Qi pulls all directions, and it must also have gathered evil spirits from large areas around it. If the fundamental problem is not solved, Datong Mountain may continue to breed evil spirits.
There are specialties in the art industry. If you want to solve the fundamental problem, you still have to look at the government and people’s livelihood. However, Ji Yuan believes that as a cultivator, he can still cure the symptoms. Datong Mountain has taken care of it, and at least the people around him are less evil. threaten.
At that time, Ji Yuan was patrolling in the mountains and failed to find the spirit machine of the gods, so he fell down in the mountains and tried to use Jishen. Unexpectedly, there was really a spirit that started to connect with the mountains and earth.
In this case, when Ji Yuan observed that the other party was not evil, he also explained the stakes to the other party. He also explained that this was also an opportunity for the mountain **** himself to practice.
As a spirit who wants to become a mountain god, he may not really care about matters such as right and wrong. However, the unfathomable path of the Immortal in front of him is something that can be determined. Naturally, he does not dare to disobey it. What happened after meeting Yin Qing and others.
After explaining the matter, Ji Yuan didn’t stay too long, but walked around the surrounding areas. Apart from seeing a lot of mulberry trees in the sky, of course he couldn’t see anything outrageous.
As for the method of divination, if you have some information media, you can still try to calculate the fate of a single person and a single event, but it will not work if it involves the general direction of human qi. I don’t know whether others can do it. Anyway, planning Yuan thinks that he is not that capable yet, so if he wants to know more clearly, he can only ask people in the industry. His friend Yin Zhaoxian, who has been an official in Wanzhou for several years, is definitely one of them.
Although Lishun Prefecture is not the capital of Wanzhou, it is definitely one of the top three in Wanzhou’s silk weaving industry or the top three in terms of economy.
Coming through the sky, you can see mulberry fields all over the province, and there are many silkworm factories, silk mills and dyeing mills next to it. It looks quite prosperous.
Lishun Fucheng is not a small one. After Ji Yuan landed, he entered the city and did not wander around the city. Instead, he asked all the way and went directly to the Fucheng Yamen.
When you want to meet an acquaintance, you will naturally stop covering your eyes with blinders.
Although in fact few people can see his eyes clearly when his eyelids are half-opened, but if he wants to see the prefect, the officer will still look carefully. After hearing that the visitor was invited from Jizhou When they arrived at Lishun Mansion, the officer did not dare to neglect and immediately went to inform his master.
. . .
“This person calls himself Jiyuan?”
Yin Zhaoxian went out in the morning to inspect the implementation of the latest decree in several surrounding villages. He happened to be in the bedroom with his wife at the moment, and was pleasantly surprised when he heard the police officer coming.
“Yes, sir. He looks very polite, but his eyes are very strange, gray and white.”
“Yes, yes, it’s Mr. Ji! Did Mr. Ji come alone?”
Yin Zhaoxian and his wife naturally hoped that Yin Qing would come with them, but the officer shook his head.
“Only one person.”
“Mr. Ji, go see Mr. Ji, don’t keep me waiting!”
Yin Zhaoxian shook his wife’s hand and nodded.
“Okay, madam, please have a good rest. I’m going to see Mr. Ji. I guess Qing’er will be here soon. Mr. Ji can’t not take him with him.”
“Yeah!”
Mrs. Yin, with a big belly, sat on the bed and covered herself with the quilt, and nodded in response with a smile on her face.
I haven’t seen Yin Qing for a long time, and as parents I miss her very much.
In the reception room of the Hou Mansion, Ji Yuan had already been waiting for tea. Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching outside. The key was that there was an aura of awe that could not be ignored in his eyes, almost Visible through walls and doors.
Talents have already been handed over and asked for gifts when they first enter.
“Mr. Ji! You have finally come to Wanzhou, please keep Yin waiting! Well, you all can go down.”
“Yes.”
The two servants on the side bowed and walked away after hearing this. Ji Yuan also put down the tea cup, stood up with a smile and held his hands in ridicule.
“Master Yin, oh no, Magistrate Yin is great!”
“Hey, Mr. Ji, please don’t laugh at me. This official is really not that easy! By the way, where is Qing’er? Didn’t he come with you?”
Ji Yuan pointed to the seat at the table, picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for Yin Zhaoxian, as if this was his own home. Of course, the latter would not be polite and sat down beside him.
“Yin Qing went on a study tour with three classmates, and we estimate they will arrive in three to five days.”
“Oh, that’s good, that’s good.”
Yin Zhaoxian stroked his beard and nodded.
Ji Yuan looked at this friend. He had not seen him for just a few years, and his hair was already showing a little bit of white. It seemed that he had really worked hard.
“You, Grand Magistrate Yin, are the second great talent in Dazhen to reach the rank of Sanyuan. You are a popular figure in the government and the public. In your hometown, you are even compared to Wen Quxing’s manifestation in this world. Why, there is still something that can’t defeat you. ?”
Yin Zhaoxian shook his hand in embarrassment. Even though he had long been accustomed to his current official position, his status felt strange in front of Ji Yuan.
“Mr. Ji, please stop teasing me. There are a lot of troubles. Even though Wanzhou is prosperous, it is actually very deformed… Hey, let me tell you this, before I took office, especially in the past seven or eight years. , more than 70% of the farmland has been turned into mulberry fields, and 90% of the profits are concentrated in the hands of the high-ranking children. How can the common people live with what is left? I am a parent official… Oh, I am so angry! ”
“Pa~”
Yin Zhaoxiang slapped the coffee table hard as he spoke. This was the first time in Ji Yuan’s memory that he saw Master Yin so angry.
