Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

Lu Yang came to the stall selling sesame cakes again.

The person who sells sesame seed cakes is a senior sister who has been practicing making the dough, rising it, kneading it, and shaping it into shape. She is so proficient that I don’t know how long she has practiced.

The senior sister pulled the dough into small balls one after another, using her hands, wrists, arms, torso... she used her whole body to knead the dough into a cake shape.

The movements have a certain meaning. It seems that this is not just a simple kneading of dough, but also a way to exercise physical coordination.

The senior sister placed the dough dough on the forging table and hit it hard with a big hammer, making a loud banging sound. Sparks flew everywhere and burned small holes on the ground.

The cake base is quenched, the cold water boils instantly, and it bubbles, and soon a sesame cake is ready.

Lu Yang felt that it was an eye-opener. Bailianfeng really had an idea and perfectly combined food and weapon refining.

"Let's have some sesame cakes."

The food in the canteen is really cheap. Lu Yang saw many good things that stood out to him here. If his contribution points were not limited, he would really want to buy them all.

…

Early the next morning, Lu Yang met the two of them at the gate of Taoist Sect as agreed.

"Waiting for you." Meng Jingzhou waved after seeing Lu Yang. There was a carriage parked behind him. It was the same carriage that took them to Taoism. The old horse was also the same old horse.

The only difference is that the third person changed from senior sister Yunzhi to Barbarian Bone.

Mangu studied hard and was studying while waiting for others. His broad Confucian robe covered his muscles, and he really looked like a tall Confucian scholar.

"No need to take a flying boat?" Lu Yang was ready to ride on a flying boat. Although it was convenient for him to shrink into an inch, it was not as fast as the flying boat.

He gave up learning Shuchi Nininch for the time being and specialized in Shuchi Nininch.

Meng Jingzhou patted the carriage and said proudly: "My carriage is a rare treasure. It contains space formations. When we sit inside, we think the carriage moves slowly, but in fact, to outsiders, it seems to be as fast as a flying boat."

Think about it, the Meng family is far away in the Imperial City, and Meng Jingzhou relies on a carriage to get from the Meng family to the Taoist Sect. It is impossible for the old horse to walk step by step. If he walks like this for a year, he will not be able to reach the Taoist Sect.

The carriage used the formation on the way to Taoist Sect. It was so fast that it flew up. When it was close to Taoist Sect, it closed the formation and slowed down to show respect to Taoist Sect.

What Lu Yang saw before was the carriage that had slowed down.

The three of them got on the carriage. The interior of the carriage was still as big as ever. Only now did Lu Yang understand how valuable this carriage was.

"Speaking of which, where are we going? What is the mission?"

"Hey, so I didn't tell you? We are going to a place called Qinghuai County. Let Brother Mangu tell you the details. After all, he found the mission."

Mangu put a bookmark in the seam of the book, closed the book, and spoke slowly.

"I heard about this from the passengers of the flying boat when I was out on a mission. He was a merchant leader and knew many things that ordinary people didn't know. He told me a story that was circulated among their merchants. There is some credibility.”

"Between Qinghuai County and Yanjiang County, there is a large stretch of rolling mountains. If merchants want to cross these mountains, they must be led by local hunters."

"A terrifying entity appeared in the forest, forcing the hunters to leave the forest where they depended on for survival..."

…

As night fell, the trees and branches that grew randomly blocked the moonlight, the thunder was deafening, the rain poured down, and the washed out ground was muddy, leaving people with nowhere to step.

Seven or eight people had ropes tied around their waists and connected together to prevent anyone from slipping down the mountain and being accidentally lost.

There was heavy rain all around, and even if someone fell down and shouted, it would be difficult to hear any sound.

Wearing raincoats, carrying trekking poles and carrying baskets, they took every step carefully for fear of stepping into a deep pit.

The cold and biting raindrops made them unkempt. When they looked up, the dense rain curtain blocked their sight, so they could only follow the old hunter at the front.

"Be careful where you step, the mountain roads can be slippery on rainy days!"

"Don't stop when you are tired. Work harder. We are almost there. Stop now, but it will be difficult to work hard again!"

"I-I really can't...help me! I'm falling!"

Someone's foot slipped, and his body had nowhere to rely on, sliding towards the cliff on the side of the mountain.

The merchants noticed the force coming from the end of the rope and realized that someone was falling behind. They immediately stopped and hurriedly pulled people in.

"Ah Yue, you pull the rope tightly, let's work hard together!"

"I'm exhausted." A Yue was suspended on the cliff, with a thick hemp rope tied around his waist to prevent him from falling.

He was tired and hungry now, and it was difficult for him to climb up the rope without exerting any strength.

The old Orion was rich in experience. While commanding everyone calmly, he also personally pulled people.

"You guys hug the big tree, don't let the seven of us slide down too!"

"The rest of the people wrapped the rope around their wrists. I shouted one, two, three, and everyone pulled hard together!"

"One, two, three, pull!"

"One, two, three, pull!"

After much effort, everyone finally pulled A Yue up. The already exhausted people were so tired that they couldn't even stand firmly.

The old Orion did not relax and nervously checked A Yue's physical condition: "A Yue, how did you slide down? Did you feel someone pushing you?"

A Yue shook his head blankly, not understanding why the old Orion asked this. Of course he slipped down by himself, could someone else harm him?

"Old Sun, what do you mean?" Qi Wu asked. He was the leader of the merchants, and he vaguely sensed a problem from the old Orion's question.

The old Orion shook his head and pointed to the ruined temple ahead: "Let's go on our way first and wait until we get to the mountain temple."

The heavy rain was pouring, which was not the right environment to talk about. Qi Wu nodded, said a few words of encouragement, and asked everyone to quickly go to the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain.

When everyone arrived at the mountain temple, they took off their raincoats without caring about their image, sat down on the ground, gasped for air, and then quickly checked whether the things in their backpacks had been damaged by the rain. If they were damaged by the rain, their trip would have been in vain and they would have lost all their money. .

"It's okay, okay. Fortunately, it was wrapped with a tarpaulin in advance. Brother Qi had the foresight."

The mountain temple is not that good, but it is spacious. Three old and dusty mountain god statues are located in the center, surrounded by dirt and feces. The tablets with the names of the mountain gods are missing, and the tributes were eaten by wild beasts I don’t know how long ago. It fell down, both doors were gone, the windows were broken, and the cold wind blew in.

No one cared much about it. For them, any place that could take shelter from the rain was a good place.

Qi Wu took out some goods from his backpack as tribute and paid tribute to the three mountain gods, thanking them for lending the mountain temple to them to shelter from the rain.

The three mountain gods are clay sculptures. The skills are not exquisite, but the difference can be seen. The mountain god in the middle holds a gentleman's sword and has an upright face. The mountain gods on both sides are civil and military. One is wearing a Confucian robe and holding a book. , a person with pure Yang righteousness, in a military position, with clear hierarchy and orderly order.

"The mountain gods wish us a safe journey."

Qi Wu always felt that the three mountain gods were very spiritual and seemed to be alive.
