Since it is early spring, there are not many insects in the mountains. Except for the occasional bird songs from afar, the surroundings are very quiet. Wu Zhongyuan walked in the dark night with his horse. Although he distinguished the north and south directions, he did not know where this road leads.

Although there were horses and carriages at this time, most of the roads were very narrow. The road he was walking at this time was only more than two feet wide. It was not that he deliberately chose a narrow road to walk, but that another fork was as narrow as this one, and he could not tell the difference between the primary and secondary.

Wu Zhongyuan walked very slowly. It was very dangerous to walk alone in the dark night. There were wild animals hiding everywhere and he had to keep energetic. However, this was just one of the reasons why he walked slowly. Another reason was that he was not sure whether the path he was currently taking was correct. If he took the wrong path, he had to go back.

The sound of horse hooves made by the white nose when he walked made him feel a little relieved. With the white nose beside him, at least he was not alone.

Fear mainly comes from the unknown, and darkness is the unknown. Fortunately, he has the ability to see the surrounding scenery clearly, which also makes him feel nervous, but he has never felt fear.

After walking for more than half an hour, a black shadow appeared in front of me. Because the distance was still far, I couldn't see the true appearance clearly. I could only see the black shadow moving very much like a human walking.

Although I had always hoped to meet a passerby to ask for directions, but someone really showed up, Wu Zhongyuan became nervous because he could not be sure whether the person coming was a good person or a bad person. Those who could rush in the dark had night vision. If it was a good person, it would be fine. If it was a bad person, he would probably be robbed when he saw horses and cargo on horses.

As the distance shortened, Wu Zhongyuan saw clearly the appearance of the visitor. He was a short and fat man, wearing a big jacket, a yellow dog-skin hat on his head, and a bag and a knife on his back, with a fierce look on his face.

While Wu Zhongyuan looked at this person, the short and fat man was also looking at him, his eyes were not very friendly, hostile and alert.

Wu Zhongyuan did not stop, and the short and fat man did not stop. When he walked head-on, whoever stopped first would mean that he would be timid. When the short and fat man approached, Wu Zhongyuan said in a whisper, "It's not easy, I finally met someone."

In fact, his voice was not so thick. The reason why he spoke roughly was to show his courage. As soon as this was said, the short and fat man frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at him.

"This big brother," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand at the other party, "It's cold and cold, let's have a drink before leaving."

"What do you want to do?" The short and fat man frowned at him.

"I don't want to do anything," Wu Zhongyuan immediately took the jar of wine he had delivered before the inn. "I seem to be lost and want to ask you."

"Where are you going?" asked the short and fat man.

"Is it going to this road to the fox clan?" Wu Zhongyuan handed the wine jar to the short and fat man, "Come on two."

"Yes." After saying that, the short and fat man stepped forward, he did not receive the wine jar handed over by Wu Zhongyuan.

"Just take a few sips." Wu Zhongyuan said again.

"No more drinks," the short and fat man waved his hand, "The fox clan is not close to here, so hurry up and leave."

Wu Zhongyuan shouted loudly and thanked him, put away the wine jar, and led the horse to go again.

I felt unhappy when I walked again this time. In fact, the difficulties he might encounter along the way were not what he was most worried about. What he was most worried about was that he had gone in the wrong direction.

Not far away, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and together with the sound of horse hooves, there were also the sound of men and women laughing. I listened carefully, as if I was flirting.

Hearing the two of them talking, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly led the horse into the woods on the roadside. He was unfamiliar with the man's voice, but he was very familiar with the woman's voice, which was the Baihua Lady who spoke to him last night.

The lady of Baihua and the man were in a state of turmoil at this time, and they were distracted. They did not find Wu Zhongyuan in the forest, galloping past and heading southeast.

When the two of them were far away, Wu Zhongyuan walked out of the woods with Ma Zi. The lady of Baihua had seen him last night, but fortunately she had not discovered it just now, otherwise she would have been pestering her.

Not long after walking south, I suddenly heard the sound of a broken wind coming from behind. Looking back, I saw two men rushing from the north. In front was a young man of twenty-five or six years old, and behind him was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The two of them walked in a hurry, and when they arrived at Wu Zhongyuan, they neither stopped nor walked around, but jumped straight over his head and continued to sweep forward.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at the two people who were away. He didn't know who these two people were, but he knew who these two people were. These two people were warriors of the bird clan, and the basis for judgment was that they were carrying a small wooden box behind them.

What Sanhu transferred from Wu Qi was not all Wu Qi's memory, but something that was not mixed with Wu Qi's subjective cognition. In Wu Qi's memory, this small wooden box was used by the bird warriors to store armor.

The bird tribe is good at smelting metal. Their warriors can improve their strength by wearing special armor. The armor levels that warriors of different levels can wear are also different, and the range of inspiration armor is also different. Red-qi warriors can inspire ten miles, blue-qi warriors can inspire hundreds of miles, while purple-qi warriors can inspire and summon their armor from thousands of miles away.

The two bird warriors who had passed by before should have blue energy or deep blue cultivation. The range of inspiration armor is limited, so they need to carry it with them.

Standing for a while, Wu Zhongyuan walked forward with his white nose again. He didn't go far. He vaguely heard someone quarrel in the south, including a female voice, which seemed to be the lady of Baihua.

The place where the sound came from was located in Shanyang, and he was currently in Shandong. He could only hear quarrels, but he could not see who the Baihua Lady was arguing with.

A white nose has a benefit. It is not easy to be frightened, nor does it sneeze, and it is unexpected that it will reveal its whereabouts. Wu Zhongyuan walked forward and listened carefully.

The middle-aged man was arguing with the lady of Baihua. The reason for the argument seemed to be accusing the lady of Baihua for giving them fake medicine, while the lady of Baihua was arguing, saying that the medicine given to them was made of snakes and insects, and there would never be any fake ones.

The middle-aged man kept accusing the lady of Baihua, blaming her for getting the benefits but giving fake medicine, which ruined their big deal. The lady of Baihua seemed very afraid of the person who spoke and did not dare to offend him too much. He only said that the medicine prepared for them was the nemesis of the bloodline. As long as the method was used properly, it would definitely have the expected effect.

At the end, a young man spoke in a silence, saying that he would let the Baihua Lady walk with them and take action personally to ensure that everything was foolproof.

The Baihua Lady agreed, and the sound of horse hooves rang out.

When the sound of horse hooves went away, Wu Zhongyuan led his horse around Shanyang and saw a horse lying dead not far away, and there was still a man lying on the ground. Looking closely, the dead man was the man who had previously flirted with the lady of Baihua.

Seeing the corpse of a man and a horse, Wu Zhongyuan knew why the Baihua lady was so afraid of the two. The two of them quarreled with her before. After they chased Baihua lady, they killed her lover first to vent their anger, and then talked to her.

The man who died was hit hard in the head, bleeding from seven holes, and his death was ugly, but Wu Zhongyuan did not let him go. He had searched the qi-replenishing pills on the enemy before and tasted the sweetness.

However, no decent thing was found this time, only a small porcelain bottle, unplugged the cork, and there were some small red pills inside.

I don’t know what it is, so I collect it first. Then search for the bag. There are a few gold bars in the bag. The so-called gold bars are not the real gold bars. To be precise, they are copper bars. The gold mentioned in ancient times was actually copper. Because the smelting level was too low, metals were relatively scarce at this time and could also be used as currency.

After searching, leave quickly so that no one will see it and mistakenly think that he killed the person.

Most people have the same thinking characteristics. They think that what is missing is important. People with milk feel that bread is important, while people with bread feel that milk is better. In modern times, there were legal constraints and many things that could not be done. At that time, he even wanted to return to the ancient times without legal constraints and be able to avenge their grudges. But when he really came back, he found that it was better to have legal constraints. This was an era when killing people did not break the law. Everyone could kill people, and no one could be killed. He had no sense of security at all, and his nerves were always tense.

Although it is already spring and the night is still very cold, Wu Zhongyuan did not make fire to rest, because it will bring light to fire, and light will reveal his position. Ordinary beasts are indeed afraid of fire, but there are still some who are not afraid of fire. Creating fire from the deep mountains at night is not a wise move, and the harm outweighs the benefits.

After walking all night, at dawn, I saw a mountain village from afar. The mountain village is located on the hillside of the west mountain, and there is a fork road leading to the mountain village.

After a brief stop, Wu Zhongyuan continued to rush to the village and did not go to the mountain village. He had dry food on him, so there was no need to go over and cause trouble.

After the sun rose, he stopped, led his horse to the side of the road, looking for branches and setting fires.

The jerky and the pancakes were both very hard, and they would become softer after being roasted on fire. They were roasting jerky and the pancakes, and a group of people came over from the north.

This group of people should be from the village in front of them. They are all men, dressed in tatters and carrying fishing nets and fish baskets. It seems that they want to go somewhere to fish.

When everyone saw Wu Zhongyuan, they did not show any kindness, but they did not have a strong hostility. One of them spoke to him loudly and told him to extinguish the fire when he left, so as not to cause wildfires to affect their village.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement.

Someone saw something carrying a horse, so he asked him what the horse was immediately, and Wu Zhongyuan told the truth.

When they heard it was cloth, everyone was very interested and came over to see it.

These people are all ordinary people, without spiritual cultivation. Wu Zhongyuan was not afraid of them, so he took one and put it on display.

The bear tribe masters the most advanced textile technology at present. The silk and cloth are fine and soft and tough. Everyone likes it very much, so they discuss it with him and ask him what he wants.

These things are used to exchange grains for the fox clan, and Wu Zhongyuan dared not change them easily. The most important thing is that he didn't know what the other party had.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan hesitating, a leading old man offered to exchange five pairs of Yin and Yang fish for a cloth.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know what the other party said was, so he could only shake his head and refuse.

Everyone was very sorry and reluctantly returned the cloth. The Yin-Yang fish they mentioned seemed to be the thing they could do the most. Wu Zhongyuan didn't even want Yin-Yang fish, so there would be no hope for anything else.
