Chapter 169: Separation, the Mountains Remain Unchanged, the Water Flows Forever
Boom!
On the official road, Li Linfeng and other convoys were slowly speeding up, and suddenly heard a huge explosion behind them, making them look at each other in surprise.
"What happened behind?"
"I don't know, hurry up." Li Linfeng said quickly.
To be honest, he is a little scared now.
The things he encountered today were all things he couldn't afford to offend, and his life was in danger at any time, which made him nervous.
Now he had no intention of understanding at all.
At the foot of the forest in front, Shen Qing sat on the horse, deliberately slowed down the pace of Zhuifeng and waited for Li Linfeng and others.
After a while, Shen Qing heard a sound of wheels and horseshoes coming from far away, and he knew that Li Linfeng and others were coming soon.
Shen Qing gently lifted the reins and let Zhuifeng slowly stop.
As the convoy gradually approached, dust was lightly raised.
The convoy passed by him.
Shen Qing pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and Zhuifeng under his crotch stepped on the horse's hooves and quickly caught up.
Li Linfeng was sitting in front of the carriage, frowning, with a look of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Master." Shen Qing noticed Li Linfeng's abnormality and asked, "It seems that everything is fine on the road now, without any abnormality. You are in such a hurry, did something happen?"
Li Linfeng looked at Shen Qing and said worriedly, "Not long after you left, I heard thunder and explosions behind me. I guess the people of Huangtian Sect are chasing us."
Shen Qing was shocked: "Ah, so fast?"
"Let's go quickly."
The rest was safe and sound, Li Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's tense nerves were relaxed.
As they moved away from Taiping County, the official road they walked on became narrower and narrower, and the ground began to become extremely bad.
After walking for about five miles, they had completely walked into the wilderness.
There was also a fork in the official road in front of them, one winding eastward and the other winding westward.
The county city Yongcheng is on the east side of Taiping County, and Shen Qing is going eastward.
Lu Anzhou was on the west side of Taiping County, so Li Linfeng and others had to go west.
The sun was setting, and the surroundings were shrouded in twilight.
The convoy slowed down involuntarily. Li Linfeng, sitting in the carriage, looked between the two roads, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew it was time to leave.
Shen Qing stopped his horse, and the convoy behind him also stopped silently.
There was an indescribable solemnity in the air.
Shen Qing turned and looked at Li Linfeng and others, and said, "Master, we are going to go separately."
Li Linfeng was not good at speaking in the face of such a scene, and after a while he could only sigh deeply.
He looked up at Shen Qing, his direct disciple, and his eyes became more and more complicated.
Shen Qing, who was now sitting on the horse, had grown to the point where he needed to look up to him. To some extent, it was his luck as a master, but also his misfortune as a master.
Fortunately, he was able to introduce such a demon to the martial arts, which was enough to prove his good vision; unfortunately, the disciple's cultivation made him, the master, more mediocre and incompetent.
Realizing that it was time to say goodbye.
Aunt Shen Xiu, who was sitting in the carriage, took the initiative to walk out of the carriage, and Li Lingchan came out with her.
Compared with the former's simple reluctance, the latter's mood was much more complicated.
At present, no matter how hard Li Lingchan's mouth was, in the face of the iron-clad facts, she could no longer refute a fact: she missed a young man with unlimited prospects.
It was impossible to say that she didn't regret it.
And Shen Qing didn't care about it.
When his strength and vision were expanded, these little episodes could no longer cause any emotional fluctuations for him.
After a simple nod to Li Lingchan, Shen Qing walked to his aunt Shen Xiu and expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Without your help, I would not be where I am today. Aunt, I will definitely remember this favor."
Aunt Shen Xiu pulled him and said: "No need to do this. We are a family. If I don't help you, I will not be able to see my elder brother and sister-in-law in the afterlife. Don't say these words of gratitude again."
Taiping County is almost a thousand miles away from Yongzhou, and Taiping County is also nearly a thousand miles away from Lu'anzhou.
If Shen Qing's cultivation level does not break through to the level of flying with the wind in the future, it is foreseeable that they will not see each other again for a long time in the future.
Shen Qing took his aunt Shen Xiu and uncle Shen Er and others to greet each other for a long time.
Aunt Shen Xiu and uncle Shen Er, brother and sister, couldn't help crying and hugged each other tightly.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Linfeng raised a bitter but determined smile and said, "Let's go."
"Master, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged. We will meet again if we are destined to meet again." Shen Qing shouted loudly while sitting on the horse's back.
With a heavy neigh, the convoy slowly started.
Shen Qing watched the figures of Li Linfeng and others gradually go away until they completely disappeared on the official road.
He stood there for a long time without moving.
After a long time, Shen Qing jumped on the horse and shouted, "Let's go too! Go!"
With a whip sound, Zhuifeng stepped on the horse's hoof and galloped quickly.
Shen Qing faced the east and saw that the world in front of him was gradually shrouded in darkness as the sunset sank.
...
"Look, there is a village ahead." Tian Xiaohu, who was sitting on the carriage, pointed to a place and shouted, "We can stay near that village tonight."
Shen Qing looked up in the direction pointed by Tian Xiaohu and found a small village of four or five households beside the official road directly ahead.
There were two red lanterns hung in one of the houses, and the bright red light seemed to ooze blood in the night.
"Hawkeye!"
Shen Qing's face was as calm as water, and he activated the Eagle Eye skill.
The surrounding pictures kept reappearing in Shen Qing's mind.
After a while, these images began to combine, forming a bird's-eye view.
Shen Qing used the [Fire-like Gaze] skill again to observe the village carefully.
The night falls and the evening breeze whispers.
From Shen Qing's perspective, the village was lightly shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, he carefully observed it and found nothing unusual.
Tian Xiaohu said to Shen Qing: "We can go over and see if there is suitable dry food and water. If there is, it is best to add more. It is a thousand miles from here to Yongzhou, and we will have to walk for almost ten days to get there. , people eat a lot of horse chews along the way."
Shen Qing retracted her perspective, nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
The carriage rumbled along the deserted official road, gradually approaching the lonely village.
This village is located next to the official road. When Shen Qing and others approached the village, they felt an indescribable sense of desolation and loneliness.
"I'll call the door."
Tian Xiaohu jumped off the carriage, stood outside the wall and shouted: "Is there anyone there? We are passing by here, can we stay in your village?"
The village is surrounded by walls, which were built by the villagers to prevent wild beasts from attacking outside.
It looks new and doesn't look like it's been in disrepair.
After calling for a long time, no one responded, Tian Xiaohu was a little surprised.
"Where are the people?"
Just when they thought there was no one there, the door with the red lantern opened.
A middle-aged farmer walked out cautiously, looked at Shen Qing and others for a few times, did not give a good look, and shouted fiercely: "Who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing?"
