Chapter 1397 Journey

“The scenery in the mountains and wilderness is better.”

The big horse walked slowly, and the official road was a little muddy after the rain. Fortunately, the animals knew how to avoid the mud pits.

The horse was so big that little Bai Yujun couldn't ride it properly.

I simply sat sideways on the saddle, swaying my short legs to enjoy the scenery along the way. The sun was too hot after the rain, so I picked lotus leaves and held them up. Under the big lotus leaves, there was a little girl, and there was one on top who didn't have time to jump away. frog.

Controlling the breeze as you go.

I can't help it, it smells too strong.

The official roads near the capital are very busy with people coming and going, especially there are many convoys and pack horses. With so many animals, it is inevitable to pave the road with cow dung and horse dung. People who care about their appearance will find a bush on the roadside for convenience. Cows, horses and donkeys are not so particular. After the rain, the sun shines. Gee, that taste.

All kinds of passers-by were walking in a hurry along the way, few were leisurely and happy, and most were tired and numb.

Those who look relaxed are wealthy people, and servants will take care of any inconveniences. Of course, they feel relaxed when they are no longer worried. When the mood comes, they can take a few sips of wine and stifle a few poems.

Needless to say, those who are tired and numb, wearing rags and rags, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles, work hard to earn some gruel for themselves and their families.

Look at those common farmers. When they meet a wealthy family on the road, they have to hide by the side of the road. They don't even dare to look up to see the other person, for fear of making the other person unhappy and causing trouble. They live cautiously, and if they work hard and get two more copper coins, the whole family will be happy. …

The various aspects of life can only be seen clearly by walking in the world.

As they walked farther and farther, Bai Yujun's frown deepened.

In the eyes of a certain dragon.

What is happening in front of me is completely inappropriate and unbelievable. What is the difference between this and the old times?

History books clearly record the arrival of the heavenly army hundreds of years ago, and a large number of books on people's livelihood science and technology and culture were found in the palace library. The knowledge in those books is enough to change all backward and decadent things. The most basic ones include increasing food production and breeding technology, which can definitely help people Everyone is fed and clothed.

Looking around, many people carry a few coarse grain cakes with them but are reluctant to eat them.

Bai Yujun was a little dissatisfied.

The snake demon empire spreads all over the world, and this world must be registered and even have a snake demon garrison.

Thinking about it carefully, I sighed helplessly, and I cannot blame the immortal officials of the Snake Demon Empire.

It is true that the snake demon army and the immortal officials and officials are huge in number, but there are also many enemies, including demons, major immortal realms, and all kinds of lawless people. The troops are often stretched thin, and there is no extra energy to rectify the decay, so they can only change at an extremely slow speed. A backward little world.

Being able to leave a garrison of a hundred people is already pretty good.

Fortunately, fleets come to this world for trade every year, but even so, it still hasn't changed much.

Bai Yujun was silent, the Snake Demon Empire was still too kind.

Forget it, I have been the boss all year round. Qiao Jin and other generals and immortal officials have done a good job. You have to eat your food one bite at a time. The problem will be solved sooner or later. It's a pity that mortals can't wait for hundreds of thousands of years...

By projecting his idle and bored consciousness to the heavens, he not only encountered strange movements in the Phoenix clan, but also saw grassroots problems clearly.

This trip is not in vain.

Bai Yujun followed the official road to the east. There were also mountainous areas around the capital. The area was too small and there was no suitable target.

There are a few goblins and the like, but their skills are too low to be suitable.

A simple aura technique can detect a vast area, and the aura of a big demon can be known at a glance.

Don't forget, Bai was an orthodox Taoist priest of Shenhua Mountain back then. He read many classics at Qingxu Peak. Not only was he proficient in Chunyang Jue, but he also learned rituals in a decent manner. He was especially good at drawing talismans, warding off evil spirits or inviting divine talismans. , although not used.

Don't think about that for now.

Counting the days, there is not enough time to leave the palace this time.

It would be nice to have a faster mount, animals like horses are pointless.

While he was studying whether birds or animals were more suitable as mounts, Moubai glanced to the rear. More than fifty officers and soldiers were running in a hurry, and the front of the team looked anxious.

There can be no war in the peaceful years. It is probably to suppress bandits or to hunt down the masters who use force to break the ban.

Pull the reins lightly and control the horse to move to the side of the road and out of the way of the main road.

Bai Bai doesn't have the habit of being arrogant, there is really no need for that.

Not long after, pedestrians and convoys also saw the officers and soldiers on the road and stepped aside to avoid them. The wealthy people whispered curiously, while the poor farmers and laborers kept their heads down as much as possible, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

The sound of armor scraping became louder and louder. The officers and soldiers were panting and running in a hurry, stepping on the mud as they hurried along.

Rumbling ran past him, splashing mud everywhere.

Bai Yujun held the lotus leaf in front of her.

The frog was so frightened that it jumped into the grass and disappeared, and its mount turned into the legendary zebra. Bai Bai felt that only those with spots were called zebras, and those with stripes should be called barred horses.

The officers and soldiers walked forward for about two miles, leaving the main road and embarking on another official road.

Bai Yujun frowned.

I saw with my own eyes that the fate of at least half of the officers and soldiers gradually became gloomy.

The world in this old age is really not peaceful.

I turned over and looked at the green lotus leaves. I buried them. I don’t know when I will encounter the lotus pond again. Forget it, just throw them away.

The little hand holding the lotus leaf turned slightly and then let go.

The lotus leaf whirled away like a parachute, passing through the grass and flying over the stream. The horse looked at the distant lotus leaf with its big eyes, and vaguely remembered that there should be a green toad.

When passing a big tree, break off a branch.

He whipped hard, and sure enough, the speed was much faster than before.

The horses run neither fast nor slow.

The little boy on the horse sat sideways and held up his gourd to drink water when he was thirsty.

Time slips away unknowingly...

evening.

The mountain peaks are dyed red, the sky is getting dark, and I can't reach the town tonight. I once again lament that the mount is not powerful enough.

I didn't feel any fatigue after traveling all day long. However, the animals were too useless. I couldn't travel day and night to exhaust the horses. Even if I changed my mount, they would still be ordinary animals.

It is even more unnecessary to channel spiritual energy to transform a horse. It is a complete waste.

He raised his little hand and counted with his fingers.

"Luckily, there is a mountain temple ahead."

Pull the reins to make the horse go faster, and try to stop before dark.

At this time, the official road is on a steep hillside, with a high mountain on one side and a steep cliff next to the river on the other. You can vaguely hear the sound of the rushing river. On the other side, there are also steep cliffs and mountains. The scenery is majestic. There are many inscriptions and carvings by famous people on the cliffs along the way.

Turned a corner.

There is a huge natural depression in the mountain, surrounded by steep cliffs, about one mile deep and wide, like a gaping sinkhole.

Bai Yujun could tell at a glance where the mountain god lived, but when he turned a corner, he took a look.

"Where is the mountain temple?"

According to normal circumstances, there should be a mountain temple the size of a room here.

The mountain temple is gone, replaced by a large-scale building, not a residential building. It looks like it is worshiping something. There are many people, but they are quiet and dare not speak loudly.

The horses walked slowly to the building gate.

Bai Yujun turned over and landed on the ground, holding the paper umbrella and frowning in thought.

The mountain temple was demolished, and the foundation stone became the threshold stone of the new courtyard. There were no wooden beams or tiles. I guess they threw it away because the temple was in ruins, the bricks, tiles, and wood were not up to grade. In other words, doing this was like stepping on the mountain god. Face, to say the least, it is the priesthood that he despises.

There were many carriages and horses parked on both sides of the gate. Looking up at the temple up the stairs, there were quite a lot of believers inside.

The believers are rich and poor, and their faces are pious. Even when night falls, there are still people staying overnight.

The thing enshrined inside is not a world-famous god. I have never heard of it. There are too many messy things in the world.

Before Moubai came to the door, there was a commotion inside.

It seems that someone doubted the authenticity of this place, angered the believers, and drove him out angrily.

The man was a martial arts master, about 20 years old. He did not bully ordinary people. He shook his head and sneered as he crossed the high threshold with angrily, muttering in his mouth.

"There is no room for doubt. It's all just a mouthful of forced words. If you want to believe it, just believe it!"

When he came down the steps and saw a little girl, the young man was stunned.

"Little baby, come home quickly. This is not a good place. Your adults are really careless."

Seemingly disappointed with the Nvwa family, he shook his head, untied his mount, got on his horse and continued on his way in the dark.

Bai Yujun felt that the other party was a kind-hearted person, sensible enough and not fooled by words, so he secretly nodded and praised him, hoping that he would achieve something in martial arts.

Shenlong talent activates naturally...

At this moment, the young warrior who had not gone far saw the dust and gold shining on the roadside. Is there something?

I got off my horse and picked up the things. I didn’t know who had dropped the secret book of golden magic skills.

"This... I don't know who lost it. It seems to have been a while. Just wait for a day. If the owner doesn't come to find it, I can only accept it."

Tie the horse and spend the night under a tree by the roadside.

Suddenly, the bottleneck that had not been shaken for a long time was inexplicably broken...
