Text Chapter 245 Luo Shuangfei
The first interaction confirmed Miao Yi's guess. The other party was the cave mansion guarding the local area. The cave master's surname was Zhao.
The two were of equal rank. They were both cave masters. There was no hierarchy. The two sides were polite and laughed for a few words.
"Where are you going with your men, Brother Zhao?"
"Nowhere, patrolling the territory."
"Dongzhu Zhao is so dedicated to his duties that I am ashamed."
"You think I am!" Dongzhu Zhao shook his head and roughly explained the cause and effect.
The reason why he personally led the team out for patrol was that a group of bandits had appeared in this area recently. They specialized in robbing passing monks. Last month, they robbed the wife of a mansion master in this palace. Not only did they rob her things, but they also killed her and her followers.
The mansion master was furious, and the whole mansion came out to sweep the place. As soon as they searched here, they immediately ran to another place to commit crimes, committing one crime here and another there, making it hard to guard against. In the end, it even alarmed the Palace Master, and the ten prefectures worked together, with a large number of people searching everywhere.
Miao Yi was surprised when he heard it. "There are actually people so bold that dare to go against the authorities. Where did that bandit come from?"
Dongzhu Zhao spread his hands. "It would be easy to deal with if we knew where they came from. It's just that we are looking for them everywhere if we don't know where they came from. Let's not talk about this matter. I have been tossed around recently and can't practice with peace of mind. I am very annoyed. May I ask where Dongzhu Miao is going?"
"I am passing through your place and going to Zilu to do my business."
"Oh, that's a long way to go. Since Brother Miao has come all the way to my territory, why don't you stay in my cave for a while and let Zhao do his best to be a host."
"Brother Zhao appreciates your kindness. I am in a hurry and want to hurry. It is inconvenient to disturb Brother Zhao's business. I will leave now. Brother Zhao may come to my Donglai Cave when he is free in the future. Miao will definitely give you a warm reception."
"Haha! No problem. Don't be afraid of Dongzhu Miao laughing at you. Brother is in the inland. I have never seen the sea. My maidservant asked me what the sea was like two days ago. I was bragging about the sea, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Miao who guards the seashore today. I will definitely go to Donglai Cave to see the scenery of the sea some other day. "
"It's a deal! Miao has built a seafaring ship that can sail against the wind and waves. Brother Zhao, just bring your maidservant with you. I will not let you down."
Dongzhu Zhao was delighted. He took out a jade tablet, wrote down something, and handed it to Miao Yi, saying, "Brother Miao, you came at the wrong time. You will inevitably be checked later. I will issue a pass here, maybe it can be used, and maybe it can reduce some trouble for Brother Miao."
After receiving the jade tablet, Miao Yi, who had read it, bowed and thanked him. After the two sides agreed to meet again, Miao Yi jumped off the dragon horse, released the dragon horse and rushed into the water, swimming to the other side of the river.
After turning around and bowing to Dongzhu Zhao again, Miao Yi led his men to fly up. Casting a spell, he flew across the vast river and headed straight for the other side.
He landed on the other side. When the dragon horse came ashore and shook off the water, everyone got on the horse again and continued to gallop.
As Master Zhao said, there were several more rounds of inspections on the road, but Miao Yi was mostly fine after showing his identity.
Seeing that he was a colleague who came from afar, many of them were willing to make friends from other places, so there were many enthusiastic invitations to do the hospitality of the host, but Miao Yi declined.
During this extraordinary period, two more people helped to issue a guarantee pass.
Of course, there are also some who are more difficult to deal with, and they don’t take you, a cave master from another place, seriously, but after Miao Yi showed a few guarantee passes, they didn’t make it difficult.
The disciples of Lan Yumen who accompanied them all the way couldn’t help but sigh and sigh.
If they were to encounter such a search, not to mention being difficult, they would definitely search you "thoroughly" and take away some of your things. You dare not say anything, but it’s good to have an official identity.
The wind was in my ears, the scenery on both sides was receding quickly, and the mountains were ahead after passing through the wasteland.
Not long after the twenty-one riders rumbled into the official road in the mountains, a man riding a dragon horse suddenly ran out from the lush forest road on one side and accompanied him.
Miao Yi and others looked over and saw a man with fair skin.
He was thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Under his thick slanting eyebrows were a pair of clear and bright big eyes. Looking at the fair and tender cheek, there was a big black mole, and two hairs grew on the mole. It was a pity to have such good skin, but he also had a beard on his face, which gave people a weird feeling.
But the other party didn't know that he looked weird. When he saw the people here staring at him, he immediately grinned with a mouthful of neat pearly teeth, but it was a pity that it was a mouthful of yellow teeth that looked like smoke.
When he smiled, his big eyes immediately smiled as moving as a crescent moon.
Obviously, those eyes look beautiful when they smile, but Miao Yi and others felt a chill. It was really because this person's good and bad looks were all put together. When he smiled, he was too "moving". It was really not flattering.
No one paid attention to him, only Tian Qingfeng turned his head, and several disciples of Lanyumen immediately kept vigilant to that person at any time. The road was facing the sky, and each walked half of it. You couldn't drive him away.
However, they were peaceful all the way, but this person followed them all the way. When this side slowed down, he also slowed down. When this side speeded up, he also bit.
This made people have to doubt his intentions. Tian Qingfeng, who was running, immediately approached and said, "My friend, why are you following us?"
The man immediately smiled with his eyes bent, apologized, and said in a loud voice: "Friend, please don't blame me, I have no choice. I heard that there was a group of bandits in this area recently. I am afraid it is not safe to travel alone, so I want to take a companion. In case of trouble, I can have someone to take care of me. I have no ill intentions. Please forgive me and make things convenient for me!"
In order to show that he had no ill intentions, he took the initiative to show a white lotus with nine petals between his eyebrows, so that this side would know what was going on.
Seeing this, this side was a little relieved. There were four Qinglian-level cultivators here, and there were so many people. They were not afraid that he could cause any trouble alone, so they ignored him.
But as soon as this side opened his mouth, this "black mole" brother couldn't stop talking, and kept actively chatting with this side, "Friend, where are you from and where are you going?"
However, no one here paid attention to him, but he was unwilling to be lonely. He stared at Miao Yi who was guarded by everyone, his eyes rolled around twice, and asked: "My friend, are you their leader?"
Miao Yi looked back at him and ignored him.
"Tsk tsk, my friend has a dignified appearance, extraordinary demeanor, heroic and majestic, and elegant. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. This dragon colt is really beautiful, and it is really extraordinary."
Miao Yi was speechless. Was he praising me or my mount? Is there such a mixed praise?
"Brother Luo Shuangfei, may I know your name?"
No one paid any attention to him, but he kept talking all the way. Even if no one talked to him, he could still talk to Miao Yi all the time without getting tired.
After running for two days in a row, everyone found a stream valley to rest again.
The dragon foal ate and drank water by the stream. Everyone also scooped water to wash. Only Heitan ran along the stream and caught fresh fish and shrimp to eat.
The weirdo named Luo Shuangfei was excluded by everyone and had to sit alone upstream of the stream. From time to time, he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it into the water with his arms. He seemed to be bored.
I don't know what happened. All the stones that passed through his hands, once thrown into the water, immediately turned black in the stream and were soon diluted by the stream.
Some of the disciples of Lanyumen were alert to him, but due to their perspective, they didn't find any clues.
Everyone washed, fetched water, cooked food, etc. as usual. After eating and drinking, they took turns to be alert and sit cross-legged in meditation.
Luo Shuangfei was still sitting alone not far away, cross-legged, only his eyes would occasionally open a crack to peek over here, with a cunning look in his eyes.
After nightfall, several blazing bonfires were lit, and people sat around in groups.
In the deep and quiet night with a sky full of stars, Luo Shuangfei, who was not far away, took out a string of bells, held them in his hand, and fiddled with them with his fingers. The clear and melodious sound of the bells echoed faintly in the valley, adding a bit of relaxation to the quiet valley under the moonlight.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked back at him, but they knew that this guy was a chatterbox, and he would never stop talking if they talked to him. They were in a foreign place and could not figure out the other party's details, so it was better not to cause trouble.
Everyone ignored it and continued to meditate there, but for some reason, they always felt upset and difficult to calm down. It seemed that with the ringing of the bell, there seemed to be waves of dizziness.
At this moment, in the distant mountains and forests, there was a faint sound of a dragon horse approaching.
Everyone was startled and stood up quickly. Luo Shuangfei also stood up, but he stroked his forehead and said, "Dizzy, dizzy, no, no, I can't stand..."
As he said that, he fell to the ground at an angle.
As soon as the bell in his hand stopped ringing, Miao Yi and others who had not yet reacted to what was going on suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness, and their bodies swayed.
Tian Qingfeng, who forcibly cast a spell to resist, shouted in a deep voice, "No! We are poisoned!"
It was too late to react by the time he reacted. It was useless even if he was the most powerful among the crowd.
Miao Yi and others who cast spells to resist fell one after another, and Tian Qingfeng finally fell to the ground with a look of grief and helplessness.
Even the dragon horses swayed and fell to the ground one by one. Only Heitan, who was dozing on the ground, opened his eyes and stood up, shaking his head and tail and looking around. He didn't know what happened. He walked to Miao Yi and touched him with his mouth, sneezing from time to time.
Miao Yi, who fell to the ground, wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. He used his last thoughts to resist the endless drowsiness. He didn't expect that he would fall here.
The source of law in his body suddenly flashed a little starlight, and instantly expanded like a spark, lighting up the whole group of source of law in an instant. The source of law rotated rapidly, sweeping across his limbs and bones like a whirlwind, and quickly burned the inexplicable substances in his body into nothingness.
As the unknown substance that had entered his body was gradually burned away, Miao Yi's dizziness gradually disappeared, and his eyes gradually became clear. However, he saw Luo Shuangfei, who had fallen to the ground not far away, stretching and getting up again.
Miao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his eyes gradually closed. (To be continued...)
