Walking through Minze, the dark reeds of high and low are distributed in shallow water and swamps, some of which are connected into one piece and stretch into the distant sky.

Loran Hill, sitting in the carriage, looked at the water beside the road. Unknown insects floated on the surface of the water, some walking on the water like spiders. Occasionally, strange fish spurted out fine water columns at the bottom of the water, shooting down the insects on the reeds and then swallowed them.

When the wheels rolled over the weedy road surface, sometimes one or two snakes appeared, driven away by the merchants ahead, picked up to one side of the road, and were not killed. Then these snakes swam quickly into the grass and disappeared.

As it was dark, the clouds in the sky were pressing down dullly, making people feel very stuffy and irritable. Some dragonflies flew low, skimming over the reeds and water, looking for food.

At this time, the girl understood why everyone said that Minze was difficult to move, and there were many poisonous insects. The road they were taking now was developed and maintained by residents and merchants in the mountains for many years. If they were walking around randomly, they might accidentally step into a swamp, and then they would fall into the mud and couldn't get out of it even if they wanted to.

Just as she was thinking about things, a familiar voice came from behind.

"This road is indeed difficult to walk, but it's good to wear it out." Yu Baichou rode an old horse and followed the carriage where the girl was. Behind him, there was a small donkey walking quickly, carrying Loran Hill's box on his back.

"Well, how did Uncle Yu come in at that time? Was he also with Xingshang?"

"That's not. I asked an old friend to take a bird into this mountain."

"I didn't expect that this elder brother would dare to ride a bird, so he really has the courage." A merchant who was walking along with the convoy next to him looked at Yu Baichou with some admiration.

"??What's wrong with the bird?" the girl asked curiously.

"??Birds are a strange beast, about three people long, and when they become adults, they can ride one or two people, and they like to fly at night." A man in his 20s introduced that he was wearing a soap-gray coat and was driving his horse in front of him at this moment.

"It sounds like there is nothing special, why do you say you have the courage?" Lorran Hill continued to ask.

"??Birds can be rode, but not only have few birds, but they are not easy to raise, but the most troublesome thing is two points. One is that their screams are frightening, which makes people feel scared, and they are easy to disturb others and cause trouble. The other is that they carry stench, which is unbearable for ordinary people. After being contaminated, it will take more than half a month to dissipate."

Later, the merchant introduced it one by one. As a businessman who traveled around the world, he naturally knew a lot about various strange beasts that were checked and ridden.

"This guy is right, ?? Birds are indeed not popular, but sometimes they don't have that much money, so they have to ignore them, haha."

"This elder brother is so free and easy, haha. It was the case that as long as we are busy, we are better than anything else as long as we keep peace."

"Although birds are not popular, they have several benefits. Because they like to walk at night and can see at night, they can avoid many flying beasts at night. In addition, they can also fear the sound of screams and fear can scare away many weak mountain monsters and carry stench. Even some powerful beasts are unwilling to eat them. Instead, they avoid them carefully to avoid causing the stench."

"In this way, riding a bird is also a safe choice, it depends on whether you can endure it."

"So that's it." Lorran Hill nodded.

"Are the strange beasts in the mountains very powerful now? The world has changed in shock before. Haven't these strange beasts been affected?"

"There are affected, but a little smaller than us. Most of them recover faster."

"The method of using the power of heaven and earth is quite primitive. Although it seems rough and wasteful to people, this roughness is less affected by the outside world. In addition, their body scales are strong, far beyond ordinary people. In recent years, it can be said that they have to be windy, rainy, and abused everywhere for a while."

"But this lady doesn't have to worry too much. Now the major factions and the military sects within their dynasties have gradually recovered their vitality and slowly began to suppress them. I believe that in a few years, the stability of the past will be restored."

As the caravan walked for two days, Lolan Hill gradually became familiar with these traders, and occasionally listened to them talking about external affairs to broaden their horizons.

As the sky gradually darkened, the team also arrived at today's camp site, which was an open space next to a huge rock. The huge rock was about five or six people high, and there were still a lot of black gray and gravel in the open space below, which seemed to be left by the travelers who had been coming and going.

"It's here." The big man beside him shouted, and the team gradually stopped and then began to camp.

At night, a group of people gathered around the fire, warming up the food tonight. Loran Hill also took out the naan bread wrapped in lotus leaves, placed it on the stone next to the fire, and slowly roasted it.

"Don't you drink some water? It's hard to swallow it." Yu Baichou sat cross-legged with a wine pot.

"Well, I almost forgot." Lolan Hill turned around and walked to his little donkey, opened the box on his back, took out a pot of clear water, which Bai Algae had packed for her.

Seeing the little master approaching, the gray donkey screamed, his head turned slightly, and looked at the girl, and his nose was gasping out from time to time, as if he was smelling something.

"Be good, Xiao Hui."

The girl squatted aside and touched the little donkey that was not yet fully grown. Her little hands stroked the fur on her back, which felt a bit rough but smooth. Her hair was not dirty and looked a little fluffy.

If you are carrying the box at night, you will definitely be very tired, the girl thought. So she unbuttoned the strap on the donkey's back, took it off, and placed it aside.

After untiing the things on his back, the little donkey screamed happily, turned his head and rubbed against Loran Hill's sleeve, and then stretched out his warm and moist tongue and licked her hand.

"Okay, don't add it, there is no salt." The girl stood up, touched the donkey's head, and then returned to the fire with a kettle and porcelain cup.

At this time, the people next to the fire were already eating in groups of three or three.

Some of them cooked rice porridge and bacon in small iron pots, and some buried sweet potatoes under the fire to prepare for grilling. However, to Lorran Hill's surprise, there was a skewer of bugs stuck next to the fire and baked continuously.

Looking at the skeleton of insects, it seemed a bit like a grasshopper, or a cicada, a bit strange, gradually burning yellow as the flames bake, and a faint oily light appeared in it.

"Do you want to try one, this young lady?" A big man with a beard asked with a smile when he saw the girl's curious appearance.

"No, I'll eat my own food." The girl shook her head quickly.

Sure enough, the insects still don’t want to eat them, although they are indeed rich in protein.

"Haha, you have to try more. It is actually a blessing to have insects in this wilderness." He sat down with a smile, pulled out the wooden sign, and then started eating it crisply.

When the others saw it, they laughed in groups of three or three, responded in a row, and talked about interesting things on the way. Most of them were middle-aged people around 30-40 years old, and a few of them were older, about 50-60 years old.

The clothes I wore were mostly dirty soap-gray, some of them tied up with hairpins, and some of them spread out, simply draped over my shoulders, with only a rough hairband.

I heard from them that their hometowns also come from different places, and many of them are elderly people who have worked in the caravan for nearly ten years. Some simply have a family of people in the caravan. The men are driving cars to pick up goods, while the women are responsible for hawking and counting, and running around.

"Although it's a little hard work, it's still a good business. In a few years, I'll probably go back to my hometown to build a house to support my grandson and hug my grandson." An aunt said so.

Loran Hill sat by the fire with his knees in his arms, poured water into a porcelain cup, covered the lid and baked by the fire. Then, watching everyone's conversation from time to time, occasionally the cries of prisoners and horses came from the side, and it was heard far away in the wild.

After the cake was hot, she wrapped it in lotus leaves and picked it up, ate it in small mouthfuls, and occasionally drank some water to moisten her throat to prevent it from choking.

The cake was covered with some bacon, which tasted particularly fragrant after almost a day of hunger. The salty smell in the meat seemed to be particularly good for rice. The bit of oil stained in it was mixed with the baked soft naan bread. It felt particularly satisfying and refreshing when eaten in the mouth.

Before she knew it, the girl finished eating a naan bread. She looked at her empty palms and felt the joy in her lower abdomen. She decided to bake another one.

———

After dinner, the team surrounded the convoy and sat by the fire to continue chatting. Some people on the side went to bed first, and they would get up to guard the second half of the night.

More than a dozen people sat by the fire and talked about some new things they had heard recently.

"According to the prefecture newspaper in the city, a few months ago, all the elite troops of the Six Dragons came out and rushed to various states to summon the local sects to suppress evil spirits. After that, we will be more stable when we walk around the place."

"But in the world, even if the Six Dragons and each corps are elites, they may only be a few people assigned to various places, and they still have to rely on the cooperation and assistance of major sects in various places."

"Our major factions, the most famous in the seven continents of Karei, have always had many conflicts with each other. It is probably still difficult to get them to work together."

"Oh, what are the major factions in the seven continents?" Yu Baichou asked curiously, and he also wanted to help Luo Lan Hill compare and plan.

"The locals should be very familiar with this. The biggest ones are the three companies, such as the 'Chin Immortal Sect', 'Xuanyi Palace', and 'Yinmiao Village', and the smaller ones are also famous among them, such as the 'Zhushanyuan', 'Humi Gang', 'Manshan Cave', and 'Yellow Wine Temple'."

"The three largest ones are not only in Minzhou, but also in various parts of the Qi Continent of Kalei, and also have a few blessings of Taoyuan. The immortal materials produced in them are also controlled by them."

"You probably have heard of the two Chixian Sect and Yinmiao Village in the village. Perhaps not many people know about Xuanyi Palace."

"The Xuanyi Palace comes from the Xin Kingdom in ancient times. The kings at that time sent the head of the Chunguan to climb the mountain of the Yellow Sea, worship the temple of the Five Destiny, bow to the Seven Phoenix Yingzhen Flame Palace, and finally invite the Xuanbird and the Grey Bear to the World."

"As the phoenix of Heid, Xuanniao mobilized the mountains, rivers and dragon veins, and eliminated the poisonous insect swamps in the seven continents of Thunder, turning them into a fertile and pleasant place. After that, the Xin Kingdom was prosperous, and the whole country regarded Xuanniao as its honor and listed it as a national sacrifice. Xuanniao Palace was the descendant of the great witch who heard Xuanniao that he had worshipped Xuanniao back then."

"Their sect is good at adjusting the Feng Shui dragon veins, proficient in criminal laws, and has straightforward methods. Many of the disciples in the sect serve as autumn officials in the court, leading the criminal law and supervising the various departments."

"In the folk, there may be many people who know the 'Chinxian Sect' and 'Yinmiao Village', but in the court, the 'Xuanyi Palace' is quite famous. If it weren't for them, I guess everyone would think of the words "Barrage, poisonous insects, swamps, and remoteness."

Later, several people talked about other things, such as the recent price rise and fall of goods in various banks, climate change, etc., while Lolan Hill became a little interested in the "Xuanyi Palace".

As everyone said just now, the "Xuanyi Palace" should be one of the five virtues, the direct inheritance of the Xuanniao. But unlike the other four virtues, the Xuanniao lineage has not been carried forward and has many branches. Only the "Xuanyi Palace" is barely passed down.

You should know that these days, she listened to Bai Qiu and Bai Zha explaining the outside world. The other four branches of virtue were extremely prosperous, accounting for most of the Thirty-Six Visits. The "Xuanyi Palace" was not even Thirty-Six Visits. It could only be passed down based on the Porcelain Flower Dynasty.

"Have Miss Lan thought about where to go?" Seeing the girl in a daze, Yu Baichou turned around and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

She was a little afraid of insects and didn't want to go to the Chixian Sect. Yinmiao Village is relatively closed and usually only accepts relatives and does not recruit outsiders. Xuanyi Palace sounds a bit depressing, and she doesn't want to do jobs such as judges and criminals.

As expected, I still have to find a leisurely sect, preferably a business that mainly farms and cultivates itself, just be able to touch fish. For some reason, this kind of thought came to my mind.

"It turns out that he is ambition and is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of a big family." After listening to Yu Baichou, he had another idea.

In his opinion, this young lady looked down on the small Xuanyi Palace at all. If she wanted to go, she would definitely be the Thirty-sixth place in the Immortal Cave Heaven.

From this point of view, his vision is still narrow, and he always looks at the seven continents of Kalei. Think about it, with this girl's talent, which one is not the core direct descendant? Perhaps in a few years, he will become the leader of the sect, taking charge of the mountain gate and shocking the world.

Six years have passed since that shocking change in the world. Now, according to the news of various prefectures, one of the top experts has only faintly climbed the seven-story ladder. The number of people is only about ten.

This number sounds like a lot, but you should know that there are nearly 1 billion people in the Porcelain dynasty. The kings of the world stretch from the cold coast of the North Sea to the White Ice Sea in the south, and more than 100 continents. Before the heaven and earth changed, there were about fifty immortals who climbed the nine-story ladder.

With such a huge base, relying on the vast resource background of famous schools, it is already the limit to bring out these dozen people. But now the dust has not yet been settled, so the competition is still continuing.

As the night gradually became deeper, everyone in the caravan gradually returned to the tent to sleep. Loran Hill was also lying in a small tent, sleeping on a soft light gray blanket, slowly falling asleep.

Time passed silently, and in the middle of the night, a slight light appeared in the dark tent. On the girl's forehead, the sun and the moon were faintly extinguished, one after another, and the girl's hair changed in color, like a flowing light.

Such a secret battle lasted until the second half of the night before gradually ending. As it ended, Lorran Hill's hair returned to black.

At the same time, she began to experience an extremely long dream while sleeping. The girl in the dream was wearing a pomegranate red dress and walked in the mountains and fields, occasionally turning back and showing a peaceful and peaceful smile.

The girl held a bunch of ripe berries in her hands, and behind her were golden wheat ear fields, with abundant waves winding all the way to the endless distance.
