Fang Lin didn't expect Xu Xiawu to be able to come up with this kind of 3D modeling method. Naturally, he was filled with surprises. In fact, even Xu Xiawu himself did not expect that his spell would have such a good effect. This is naturally because Fatty, a vicious and greedy guy, has a miraculous effect on frightening the ghosts when he is present.
However, Fang Lin still asked:
"Can you confirm the specific location of Yang Tianyou's stay in the manor?"
Xu Xiawu shook his head and said:
"No, he will move around at any time. Aren't you satisfied with being able to do this? My magic is a great way to see through the secrets of heaven. It is easily tabooed by heaven and earth. The backlash has already begun. You will quickly defeat him. Write it down."
I saw a nearly transparent ball appearing around the sand table on the ground, completely wrapping it up. You can see the dense rain hitting the ball with countless ripples, the wind howling, thunder and lightning outside, and Various miniature illusions of flying gods and Buddhas danced wildly, but they could not penetrate the sphere at all.
All this seemed amazing, but Fang Lin and the others couldn't reach it, and it wouldn't even cause any harm to them. The reason for this is that the poor Fu who was sick in bed actually ran over curiously and stretched out his hand. He went to touch it, and the result was that his fingers could neither touch the sand table nor the thunder and lightning. Everyone knew that Wuxianfu would never appear in any dangerous place, so everyone was relieved. . Watching the transparent spheres surrounding the sandbox building gradually disappear, the miniature buildings were also quickly consumed by the wind and rain.
"This won't alert the enemy, right?" Fang Lin still said in a deep voice.
Xu Xiawu shook his head slightly:
"Yang Tianyou doesn't have this ability yet, just because the sand table was destroyed because it violated the laws of nature, just like a piece of ice created in summer will inevitably melt under the sun. This kind of metabolism between heaven and earth couldn't be simpler. Yang Jian No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly know how many lives are born and die in the garden. Why did I only understand the truth of learning from heaven and earth at this time when I have to rely on taking bodies to survive."
Speaking of this, Xu Xiawu felt endlessly sad, shook his head and sighed.
"Where is the location of this manor?" Fang Lin began to pack things quickly. The fourth child also bit the bandage with his teeth and used his right hand to wrap the broken arm tightly to prevent the wound from bursting and causing heavy bleeding under intense exercise. unfortunate situation.
"You can reach it by riding a horse for half a day to the north. The name of the place there is Jiuli Village, which means that with Zhuangzi as the center, his family's property covers a radius of nine miles." Xu Xiawu's voice came from inside. It's like coming through the ethereal clouds. He slumped down on the chair and said.
"You can take care of yourself."
…
According to Xu Xiawu, Jiulizhuang can be reached by horseback in half a day. In ancient times, the speed of galloping military horses was about forty kilometers per hour. Of course, special circumstances such as cavalry charging and chasing on the battlefield must be calculated separately. In other words, Jiulizhuang is 200 kilometers away from here at the nearest distance, and no more than 250 kilometers away from here.
If Fang Lin and the others were running at full speed, their explosive power would even exceed that of the fiery red Ferrari sports car in an instant. Even if they continue to run at a normal speed, most people can at least maintain a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour. However, the last group of people still chose to ride horses, with only one purpose, which was to deceive others.
There are still at least thirty hours before Yang Jian can assimilate the soil, which is quite enough, and riding a horse can save energy. It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on in Jiulizhuang. Although walking can save time, it’s also too shocking and may scare others. Moreover, you’ll inevitably have to sit down to recover after arriving. If you add one plus one minus, I still think riding a horse is cost-effective.
Shu is not a horse-producing area like Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, and horses were strategic materials similar to guns in ancient times. If you can raise a horse privately in this place, it is simply better than ordinary private cars today. Well, let alone Audi A4 or above. Although the Zhuangzi where Fang Lin and the others were hiding at this time was wealthy and had their own garden, they could only find two horses, but there were still seven or eight mules and oxen.
After a few people gathered together, they adopted the method of using a horse + a mule to pull a carriage. Originally, this was a taboo for pulling a carriage. Because horses and mules are not on the same level in terms of height and strength, it is easy for the cart to veer toward the horse as long as it is pulled. Unless you are a very skilled driver, serious traffic accidents are likely to occur.
However, under the control of Fang Lin's powerful magic, such small things can be easily coordinated. Not to mention a horse and a mule, even a horse and a chicken are fine. The so-called coachman is just a decoration, and the whip You don’t even have to wave for a moment, it doesn’t matter if you just sit there chatting, eating melon seeds and chatting on QQ.
So Fang Lin and the others started this expedition and kidnapping operation. However, Lin Yinxiu suffered a lot during this journey. Because the carriage was traveling very fast, and there was not even a gravel road, let alone an asphalt road, the bumpiness on this road could be imagined. Poor Miss Lin was vomiting like a pregnancy reaction. She vomited up her breakfast and vomited her lunch, then vomited her lunch and vomited water. In the end, her eyes were red and she could only hold the juice and drink it hard.
In order to hide their eyes and ears, the carriages of Fang Lin and his party were sealed tightly. Because of the bumpy road, they could not put the water in the carriage. They could only drink it from the bottle mouth to mouth, but they could not get out. After reaching the boundary of Guankou, the speed of the carriage was obviously accelerated, but the stability was also significantly increased. Fang Lin was a little surprised. When he came down and took a look, he was a little surprised:
It turned out that there was a straight road two feet wide in front of me. Drainage ditches were dug on both sides and neat trees were planted. It extended to the far end in the dusk. The surface of the road was a layer of fine soil mixed with sand, and underneath it was The compacted loess can be clearly seen from the wall of the drainage ditch next to it. The compacted loess is two feet thick, and there is a roadbed made of bluestone under the soil.
Even the post roads around the capital that conveyed military information could only be compared to the roads built with such great effort. How could such a remote corner appear?
Fang Lin and the others walked further and arrived at a place called Yingzui Valley. It was extremely steep. Facing mountains on one side and a stream on the other, the road became narrower. They could see brightly lit lights ahead and a long convoy of mules and horses. There is a long line, and you have to pay at the previous checkpoints in order to pass. This can't help but surprise Fang Lin even more. It seems that the officials here are not simple, at least they are quite good at governing the place.
About dusk, Fang Lin and the others rushed to Jiulizhuang. After arriving here, they found out that the so-called Jiulizhuang actually occupied a much larger area. It was only dozens of miles away that covered the land of this village. On both sides of the road, there are patches of new fields and pastures, and dug ditches and rivers run straight through it, like spider webs. In the distance are towering green mountains, and in the near distance are criss-crossing roads and slow flowing water. Although it was almost sunset, there were busy scenes of working and grazing everywhere, and even the farmers and tenant farmers seemed to be working much harder.
After approaching the whole village, I realized that the area of Zhuangzi is astonishing. There are towering green trees in the village, surrounded by a circle of dark fences. At first glance, it looks elegant and attractive, but when paired with the circle of dark fences, it becomes... There is a kind of majesty that repels people thousands of miles away!
After walking for a while, eight strong villagers with sticks appeared in front of them. The group of patrolling villagers immediately formed a military posture and said:
"What are you doing! This road only leads to my Jiulizhuang. If you go the wrong way, turn around quickly."
At this time, the wretched Fu was already bored in the carriage. Fang Lin didn't want him to come, but the little Fu rolled around, spat, and even threatened to death - of course everyone ignored his last move - and still shamelessly followed him. Come on, I almost used the bumps in the carriage as a cradle, snoring sweetly along the way. I felt refreshed at this moment, and I immediately got out and played the role of housekeeper very competently, and said with a smile on my face:
"My master is a good merchant from afar, and he passed by here after selling some goods. It is getting dark now, and there will be a heavy rain tonight. Knowing that the master of Jiulizhuang is kind and generous, he came here to beg for a night's stay. I paid him the price. Money and food.”
As Wuxianfu spoke, he stuffed a handful of copper coins over with great deftness. To be honest, Wu Fu is really good at this job. The leader, Zhuang Ding, immediately softened his expression:
"You are quite an old housekeeper. My master is good at predicting good and bad luck, and he also said that there will be heavy rain tonight. But you are unlucky to come. I usually have the final say in this matter. Today, the master from the state is a guest in our village. Who dares to take the responsibility?" Take care of the relationship and go quickly.”
The wretched man shamelessly stuck to him again, stuffed a handful of money into his mouth and whispered:
"To be honest, my master sells salt. How can this thing withstand the rain? Where can we go back? Brother, you should do good deeds and accumulate merit."
The village man shook the weight of the copper coins, smiled with satisfaction and said:
"That's it, we don't dare to take you to Zhengzhuang no matter what. It's really the masters from the state and county who are coming. However, there are two farmhouses behind that are used to house the refugees. Now most of them are abandoned. Even if they are cleaned up, there will be enough people to live there. , Not to mention shelter from wind and rain, what do you think?”
Seeing Fang Lin nod slightly, Wuxian Fu immediately agreed.
The group of bankers led the way and met several waves of patrols along the way. They said hello and passed by. Not long after, Fang Lin and the others were led to a farm behind the main farm, where they helped fetch water and sweep the floor very diligently. When it was getting dark, it rained heavily, and the dealers went home one after another.
As soon as the group left, Fang Lin immediately sneered:
"This Jiuli Village is not simple. These villagers have harmed many people on this farm."
As he spoke, he peeled off a piece of white-gray wall covering on the wall next to him, and a stain of blood was revealed underneath. The blood stain seemed to be splashed on it. Although the color was old, just looking at the trace of the blood stain being splashed on it, you can feel that you are there. The feeling in this situation is extremely sad!
