………………
The four monsters strode forward and passed each other in an instant. The whirlwind wrapped in them also made a "whooshing" sound, coupled with the thumping sound of limbs falling to the ground, it was really a big noise!
"Tsk! That's Linma..."
When Lin Yi stopped to watch, Atu pulled the wooden cart to a stop on the side of the road and praised him repeatedly.
Linma is also a strange beast from ancient times. The adults are more than ten feet tall and more than two feet long from head to tail. They are covered in armor and look like fierce tigers and leopards. They are good at running and docile in nature, and can be tamed, etc.
It was not difficult for Lin Yi to recognize the origin of the monster from the relevant classics he remembered. Sure enough, on the back of the last Linma, there was someone sitting cross-legged...
"Ten animal skins can be exchanged for a lin horse to travel. From here to the Jufeng Valley, it only takes half a day's journey."
When Lin heard this, he glanced at the more than thirty animal skins on the car and said with a smile: "Atu, the wealth you have accumulated in the past two years cannot withstand the tossing and going!"
"Hehe! We can turn around within ten days if we walk by then!" Atu smiled disapprovingly and said kindly: "Brother Lin, there is no need to worry. If you ride with me, you can save ten animal skins. …”
Since Lin Yi wanted to go along with them, he wanted to take the opportunity to appreciate the customs and customs of ancient times. Going up and down all day long, God knows how much scenery we will miss. Seeing that Ah Beast was struggling to pull the wooden cart, he waved his sleeves and followed, asking: "In addition to animal skins, can I exchange gold and silver for the Linma?"
The people and the car suddenly rushed out far away. Ah Beast didn't have time to respond and said in surprise: "Brother Lin, you are so powerful..."
Lin Yi had the perfect cultivation level of the Immortal Lord in the later period. If he had not been entangled in many things and had no intention of retreating, he would have been able to cultivate to the realm of cave heaven long ago. Now, although he has gathered all his magic power, his actions are still different from those of ordinary people. The flick of his hand just now was as gentle as the breeze, but it contained the power of heaven and earth. It's no wonder that the beast couldn't bear it.
The people and the car ran for more than ten feet, and then they slowly stabilized.
Lin Yi smiled apologetically at Ah Beast, who looked back in surprise, but the other party said with great certainty: "Brother Lin! I've seen it a long time ago, you are a cultivator..."
Even the masters in the cave can't see my true identity. How can a boy from the mountains have such eyesight?
Lin Yi paced forward, his expression the same as before.
Ah Beast wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, his black eyes flashed with a smile, and then said: "The beast tamer, the priest, and the great witch are all cultivators. I don't know where Brother Lin is. Wait a minute..."
This way of looking at people is quite simple. It only depends on strength, which is more effective than divine consciousness, at least for now, unintentionally. Everyone understands the so-called great simplicity, but it is not as straightforward as a mountain boy. Just like Taisu, it changes and becomes tangible, and its form and quality, but it is not formed yet, is nothing more than a reciprocating cycle!
To put it bluntly, a mountain is a mountain when you look at it, but it is not a mountain when you look at it. In the end, it is still a mountain...
When Lin arrived in front of A-Shou, he replied nonchalantly: "I'm no different from you, we just follow completely different paths!"
A'shou didn't understand what he heard, so he didn't think much about it. He laughed and pulled the wooden cart and continued to move forward. He continued what he just said: "In addition to animal skins, herbs and animal bones can also be used to transport Linma. Gold and silver are of course rare. , but it's not as hard as fine steel or black iron, so what's the use..."
In the past, gold and silver were mostly used as currency for bartering or to create luxurious and exquisite utensils. They were good things that people wanted to pursue throughout their lives. But in the primitive world, it was no more useful than a few pieces of animal skin and an iron knife. From this point of view, the so-called wealth lies in the difference of measurement!
After burning a stick of incense, they went not far and rounded a hill. The two of them took a car to a canyon.
At this moment, with a slight crisp sound, the "squeaking" sound that had been so cheerful all the way came to an abrupt end. Immediately after the wooden cart tilted, A-Shou gave up and jumped up and shouted: "Oh! Bad luck..." He quickly lay down and took a look, then collapsed on the ground and spat: "The axle is broken, it's really bad." Trouble! I should have greased it with animal fat, but I just got lucky..."
"Haha! Fortunately, it was not destroyed in half. We will repair it later!" Lin Yi came to Ah Beast's side and comforted him with a smile.
The place in front of you should be the end of the canyon, surrounded by mountains and maple forests. In the distance, the mountains are getting wider and wider, and their destination is unknown. On the nearby hillside, a row of thatched huts were built, and dozens of people were busy. At the foot of the hillside, beyond seven or eight wooden carts, there are more than a dozen horses huddled together, either having fun alone or rubbing their ears and temples together...
This is Dafeng Ridge, a place where mountain people gather.
"Brother Lin put it lightly. It only takes half a day to choose a suitable wood and cut it into an axle."
A beast had already cheered up and got up. He patted his butt, tightened the machete on his waist, spat at the wooden cart again, then turned and ran towards the hillside, and said: "We'll repair it later, we can't make it today. Brother Lin, please wait a moment." moment……"
Lin Yiyu stopped and watched, having a panoramic view of the situation far and near.
There are more than ten lin horses, owned by a few stout middle-aged men. In front of the thatched cottage on the hillside, there is a dedicated person taking care of the goods.
Ah Beast went to contact him about the relevant matters, just to find a way to offer ten animal skins in exchange for the commission for riding the Linma. What he was looking for was a middle-aged strong man named Ada, a beast tamer, a so-called cultivator.
Although the man had a strong body, eyes like an eagle, a black beard and a steel knife on his waist, and looked very tough, he was not a real monk, but a complete mortal. However, it is still unknown whether he has the ability to tame lin horses and travels in the wilderness all the year round, or he may have extraordinary means.
A beast is not old, but he is very clever. He made his intention clear in a few words, and begged again. After getting what he wanted, he hurriedly turned around and ran back.
The Ada looked at Lin Yi from a distance and shook his head dissatisfiedly. In his opinion, a young man with sound hands and feet has to ride a horse with a half-year-old child, just to save ten animal skins, hum...
"Brother Lin, we will set off in half an hour!"
A beast ran to the wooden cart. He said something, not daring to delay, and started carrying animal skins, bones and other items.
Lin Yi still stood leisurely and did not help.
A-Shou carried the animal skins and bones down the hillside alone, and then Ada helped to tie them up and carry them on the back of the Linma. Others were also busy making preparations before departure, and the scene was quite lively.
In less than half an hour, the twelve horses were all loaded with goods. They were lying on all fours on the ground and lined up in front and back, waiting for the moment of departure.
After A-Shou had packed up, he waved to Lin Yi who was standing next to the wooden cart.
Ada and three beast-taming men rode on two lin horses. The other eighteen people, mostly young and strong, each took their own goods and rode on the remaining nine horses.
Lin Yi didn't refuse and went straight to the foot of the hillside.
Each Linma has a tall body and strong legs and feet. Its back, which is five feet long and three feet wide, is quite flat. Even if it is carrying animal skins and bones, it can easily sit on it for two or three more people.
A beast had climbed onto the back of the hired horse, with an excited smile on his sweat-stained face.
Lin Yi looked at the line of Linma and the crowd seeing him off on the hillside, and suddenly felt that there was a lack of leisure and fun.
The whereabouts of Qier and Mu Yun have no clue, and Hutou, Laolong and Xiannu are also missing. Today, even though I wandered here on a temporary basis, I still have a lingering feeling that I can’t get rid of, just like I have been wandering alone for thousands of years...
However, instead of just sitting back and watching the clouds rise, it’s better to keep your feet on the ground. There will be stormy waves in the future, so why rush for the moment!
Lin Yi followed the customs when entering the country, climbed onto Linma, lifted up his clothes and sat behind A-Shou. The other party hurriedly put down a smile, grabbed the rope binding the animal skin with both hands, and reminded nervously: "Brother Lin, please sit still..."
Someone let out a scream, and twelve horses neighed and stood up in response.
At this time, the sun was rising, and a cool wind suddenly blew in the sultry canyon. It’s still unclear where the wind is coming from, but the thunderous sound of iron hooves has already resounded in all directions. Immediately, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and twelve huge figures chased away in the dust.
Ah Beast's legs were spread apart, and he was holding the rope tightly in his hands. He still leaned down and did not dare to raise his head, but he shouted: "Brother Lin, don't panic! Daddy took me on a ride once, and it felt like walking on flat ground." So stable..." He was talking about the time when his father was still alive, which was three years ago. Along the way, he was so frightened that he never opened his eyes.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged, slightly behind, and could reach the thick long tail of the Linma. The moment the mount started to gallop, a strong wind suddenly hit his face, and there was a faint whine in his ears, making people feel like they were flying in mid-air. He was indifferent to this, but he was paying attention to the screams made by Ada and the other four with some curiosity. That's a weird animal language...
Seeing that Ah Beast was busy taking care of himself, he still didn't forget about himself behind him. Lin shook his head and smiled, and wanted to protect it with forbidden laws. He hesitated for a moment, and then gave up.
In this world, no one can live without someone’s support. Without immortals, mortals can still live peacefully, and survive from birth to old age, illness, death, and many natural and man-made disasters, and continue to thrive from generation to generation. Even if there are no mortals, plants and animals, the sun still rises and the cycle of heaven and earth continues as usual!
As Ah Beast said, the Linma gallops extremely fast, but is as steady as walking on flat ground. The two of them were riding in the middle, amidst the slight bumps and the stirring wind and dust, the journey was mighty...
When a group of people rushed out of the canyon that was hundreds of miles away, an hour and a half had passed.
From here forward, there is a wilderness, with weeds that are taller than human beings everywhere. Looking around, it looks like the waves are undulating and vast. Twelve bald horses galloped among them, as if chasing the waves.
After another half hour, it was almost dusk. It is reported that you can reach the Jufeng Valley before night falls.
At this moment, the leading Linma suddenly jumped up and let out a long neigh...
