Shrouding the Sky: The Empress Against the Immortals

Chapter 6 Yunshui Sword Sect and Minghe Palace
Not only Ling Song's eyes were full of curiosity, but other people in the merchant team also looked up at the "immortals" who were riding the rainbow, with expressions of astonishment.

The colorful Changhong is extremely fast, which can be called lightning fast, but it flies very low, only four or five feet above the ground, and even the costumes can be seen clearly.

"Uncle Pei, I see that they are all carrying a sword and wearing the same clothes. Are they the immortal masters of the Yunshui Sword Sect that people often mention?" Ling Su followed on the left side of the ox cart, Ask as you go.

Hearing his brother's question, Ling Song quickly turned his head to look at Old Man Pei, wanting to know the answer.

Ling Su would often tell her stories about things she heard in the blacksmith shop. The name Yunshui Jianzong, Ling Song heard from his elder brother, seemed to be the closest immortal sect to Qushui City.

"I don't know, it looks like it should be them." Old Uncle Pei didn't dare to confirm, "Those immortal masters have always been high-ranking, and they are completely different from ordinary people like us. Many news are just hearsay, not necessarily true."

"Although Qushui City is small, the surrounding area is not limited to the Yunshui Sword Sect. I heard people say that behind the City Lord's Mansion is a great sect named 'Minghe Palace'." Another old man in the team said Said.

"Is Minghe Palace stronger than Yunshui Sword Sect?" Ling Su asked curiously, "The blacksmith shop where I was an apprentice before, the boss seems to want to send his children to Yunshui Sword Sect."

"I don't know who is strong and who is weak. Young man, I advise you not to talk about such things indiscriminately, lest disaster come out of your mouth." The old man reminded me lightly, and refused to say more.

"That's right, those immortal masters have always regarded their own family very seriously, and don't like to hear people say that they are weaker than others. You must keep your mouth shut, otherwise it will easily cause trouble." Old Man Pei also reminded.

"Thank you uncles for your reminders, you must remember." Ling Su responded.

Seeing his brother nodding repeatedly, Ling Song felt that this matter should be very important, and said in a childlike voice, "My niece remembers it too!"

"Uh...hahaha!"

Everyone was startled, they obviously didn't expect such a little girl to agree to come down in a serious way, they couldn't help laughing.

However, at this moment, several figures flew from the direction of Qushui City.

Like those immortal masters before, they were all in a hurry, and they passed Ling Song and the others in an instant, flying towards the distance.

It's just that the direction of final disappearance is different from those before.

Before everyone had time to talk about the identities of these immortal masters, they turned around and found that a third group of people had flown out of Qushui City, and they were galloping towards the southwest, not passing by Ling Song and the others.

After that, in less than a cup of tea, a total of ten waves of people flew out of Qushui City.Like a celestial girl scattering flowers, she moved away in all directions and quickly disappeared into the sky.

"What's the matter, why did those immortal masters leave Qushui City one after another?" Someone in the team asked in a low voice.

The deliberately low voice made people feel the impending momentum for no reason.

"Let's go! Something must have happened in the city, don't ask too much."

The burly man selling tiger skins, who had always been taciturn and hadn't spoken since he left the city, suddenly spoke, with a very serious expression on his face.

When the others heard the words, as if they had thought of something, their expressions changed, and they all shut their mouths. They only hurried to drive and headed forward.

"Brother..." Ling Song was frightened by this solemn aura, and couldn't help calling Ling Su a little.

"Don't be afraid, sit in the car obediently, brother will protect you."

Ling Su reached out, grabbed her hand, and held it gently in the palm of her hand.

This gave Ling Song great psychological comfort.

After a stick of incense, the team that hurried on their way walked out for nearly ten miles, barely far away from Qushui City, and was relieved to see that nothing happened.

"I don't know what happened in the city. It must be a big deal for so many immortal masters to leave together. Fortunately, we left the city first." Old man Pei with a black beard finished drinking water and leaned on the ox cart to breathe slightly.

When he looked in the direction of Qushui City behind him, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Everyone else in the team also had lingering fears on their faces, obviously very afraid of those so-called immortal masters.

Seeing that Ling Su didn't speak, Ling Song obediently kept his mouth shut, but his cheeks were bulging.

When Ling Su handed her the sheepskin water bag and asked her if she would drink it, Ling Song grinned and pointed at the dried dates in his mouth, his big eyes were like crescent moons, he smiled sweetly and shook his head at Ling Su, Indicates not thirsty.

The group rested for a while and continued on the road.

The matter is related to those immortals who can fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Once mortals are involved, they will easily disappear, so old man Pei and the others dare not stay longer, they just want to stay as far away from Qushui City as possible.

……

The process of rushing is naturally boring and tiring.

Although Ling Song didn't have to walk by himself, he was also very tired from sitting on the rickshaw.

After noon, Ling Song, who ate half a pancake with cold water, couldn't hold back his battering eyelids any longer, tilted his small body, and fell asleep lying on the ox cart.

When he woke up again, it was already halfway through Shen Shi, and he was still woken up by Ling Su.

"elder brother?"

Ling Song rubbed the corners of his eyes, sleepy, and called Ling Su softly.

Sleeping drowsily, when she was carried off by Ling Su from the bullock cart, her feet just touched the ground and she couldn't stand firmly. She staggered and almost fell, but Ling Su had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped her up again.

Ling Su was amused by her appearance, rubbed Ling Song's face with both hands, and said, "Little sleepy bug, you're home, rub your face quickly, sober up!"

"Um……"

Ling Song's mouth was pouting from being rubbed, but he was indeed much more awake.

After Ling Su let go of her, she raised her head and looked around.

I saw a desolate and quiet surrounding, and occasionally a few birdsong could be heard from the mountains.

The dirt road under his feet was very narrow, obviously incomparable to the streets in Qushui City.The roadside is overgrown with weeds, and a few dogtail grasses are swaying in the wind.

Looking out along the road, at the end of the front, more than a dozen thatched cottages and bamboo buildings came into Ling Song's eyes one after another.

Is this the Baishan Village that my brother talked about?

Ling Song blinked his big eyes, looking curiously.

She was still young, so she didn't feel poverty or backwardness in her mind, only a sense of novelty.

Qushui City and Baishan Village are like two different worlds in Ling Song's heart.

"Ninny, say thank you to Uncle Pei." Ling Su reminded me.

Hearing this, Ling Song looked away from a distance.

"Thank you, Uncle!" She leaned against Ling Su and said charmingly.

"Hey, good." The old man Pei smiled, "It's getting late, you go to the village quickly, the house has not been lived in for a long time, there may be some snakes, insects, rats and ants, you need to clean it carefully."

"Understood, I would like to trouble you, old man, to send us here specially. We brothers and sisters have nothing to repay. I am really sorry."

Ling Su was very grateful, and took out a few pennies from his bosom to pass to the other party, but Old Man Pei waved his hand and refused.

"It's only five miles away, and it's not far away. I also see that you brothers and sisters are pitiful. They help as much as they can. They are all poor people. Who hasn't had a difficult time? Why don't you repay? of."

This is a very down-to-earth fellow from the countryside, he just wanted to help out of kindness, how could he pay a few pennies for the transportation fee?
He pulled the reins on the old scalper, and swung the whip with the other hand to drive the cart away, making the scalper pull the cart and turn around.

"Old man, be careful on the road." Ling Su said.

"Don't worry, young man, I know this road very well." Old man Pei jumped into the bullock cart, and finally waved to the two of them, "Okay, I'm going back, two little dolls, take care!"

"Goodbye, Uncle!" Ling Song also waved his hand and said loudly.

The two brothers and sisters stood at the intersection, watching the old man Pei driving away in the bullock cart, feeling somewhat lost in their hearts for no reason.

The inexperienced brother and sister certainly don't understand why they feel this way.

The world is difficult, and life is not easy.

How lucky to be able to meet the selfless help of kind people when we are weak and humble!
