...

The journey to Peishan was quite far. Although there were ghosts and monsters secretly assisting, the caravan still walked for a long time. Not to mention the time when he had to pause due to heavy rain or other reasons in the middle, it took about seven or eight days.

During this process, Taoist priest Tian, ​​who had been among a group of ghosts for a long time, gradually became familiar with these strange things. Moreover, these ghosts were not afraid of him as a Taoist priest. Instead, many of them were full of curiosity to explore the unknown, and would come up to ask from time to time.

The questions they asked ranged from the various questions such as what Taoists eat every day to whether Taoists will suffer from constipation. There were even many monsters with masochism tend to express enthusiastically and actively, hoping to test what it would feel like to be hit by Taoist talismans.

Thanks to these guys who seem to have problems with their brains, Taoist Majesty Tian found that his Taoist skills were growing rapidly. Although he still couldn't beat these thick-skinned guys, he was at least much better than himself who had just walked out of the master's sect.

He himself was a little amused about this harvest that seemed to be a blessing in disguise.

And in that caravan, the atmosphere was obviously not so active. After all, ordinary human races did not have as much energy as ghosts. After such a long journey, they were already very tired and had no leisure to play.

However, the closer you get to the destination, the more cautious you need. After all, you have been persisting for so long, and you can't fail at the last moment...

In contrast, Yizimei and others' mental state has improved a lot. After all, they have been rushing around the world for a long time and have been accustomed to this kind of life. But it is impossible to be tired, so when you see the city gate vaguely visible in the distance, you will inevitably feel a little excited.

But they did not choose to follow the caravan into the city, but said a few words to Ye Hancheng and turned around and advanced along the path, as if they were going to act separately.

Seeing Ye Hancheng also about to leave, Qingdai couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you want to leave alone?"

Ye Hancheng looked back at her and replied, "Most of us have many murders on our hands, and have been wanted by the imperial court for many years. It is hard to say whether we will be recognized in this city. Instead, it will affect the Wen family caravan. So we sneak into the city to meet you later."

"That's it..." Qingdai nodded slightly and looked at him with a smile.

Although he was cold on his face, he was actually very concerned about the people around him and would pay attention to many details.

The relationship between the two has become closer because of the time they have been together, and it will not be as embarrassing as before.

But at this moment, a maid walked to the carriage and said to Ye Hancheng in a soft voice: "Mr. Ye, I wonder if you have any other plans after entering the city later?"

Ye Hancheng looked at her with a faint expression: "What?"

"If it is convenient, our lady wants to invite you to the Wen family to sit. During this trip, Mr. Ye, you repelled many young masters and saved the caravan. Such kindness has not been repaid..."

It was naturally not a good weather along the way. I even encountered bandits of dozens of people who specialized in robbing caravans walking on the official roads like them. Especially when I saw that their carriages were filled with carts, I was even more jealous and used one or two percent of the strength when wielding the knife.

These guys are ruthless. Because they have been licking blood on the tip of a knife for many years, they have extremely rich combat experience. Many caravan guards were accidentally injured when they met. Thanks to Ye Hancheng and several of his friends, they successfully defeated the enemies, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Ye Hancheng thought for a moment, but did not agree immediately, but turned his head slightly and looked at Qingdai: "Where are you?"

"Me?" Qingdai was stunned, and then gently pulled Bai Yu, who was playing with a straw rope behind him, "Bai Yu and I will naturally stay in the Wen family for a while."

After hearing this, Ye Hancheng nodded: "Okay, I will go to Wenjia together later."

The maid showed a little joy on her face, and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell the lady..."

Soon Ye Hancheng's figure disappeared into the shadow of the tree. Qingdai slowly withdrew her somewhat tranced vision for a long time and turned to the scene in front of the convoy.

After a moment, the caravan, loaded with food, finally slowly approached the surroundings of the city.

It was also when the caravan officially stepped around the city that everyone could clearly feel that the air around them seemed to have become dry and hot in an instant.

It was as if I was in a huge roasting stove, which made me feel like I took a breath of fire every time I breathed, making my throat and lungs feel hot and uncomfortable, and a burning odor filled my ears and noses, which made everyone feel like they were suffocating at this moment.

At the same time, the huge sun above the head was constantly scorching the earth, and the traces of dryness and cracks could be seen everywhere on the ground, so that when the wheels of the carriage passed by, you could feel a slight shock.

From the car window, you can see that most of the plants on both sides of the road have been roasted to death, and it is difficult to see any vitality. If Qingdai, Bai Yu and others had just a concept of the so-called disaster of drought and famine, then now this scene alone has brought them a huge impact.

"What a terrible natural disaster!"

Bai Yu hated this kind of ghost weather very much. The hot wind blowing towards her with a bit of burnt smell made her subconsciously shrink her body, her little nose twitched slightly, and she whispered in a low voice.

"Yes... no wonder it caused such a large-scale famine here..." Qingdai was also a little sad. Even the big trees had already died, let alone those ordinary small seedlings?

"I'm afraid there is no enough water in the fields to water." She murmured softly.

It was a little strange that the maid who was responsible for serving on the side shook her head and said, "Miss Qingdai, you are wrong. Although we are so hot here, there is no shortage of water."

"But although there is no shortage of water, the seedlings in the fields still live shortly and will soon be heated to death, so they become what they are today..."

“Not lack of water?”

When Qingdai and Bai Yu heard these words, they were both a little surprised.

After all, the land is so roasted that it is about to crack, and the plants are roasted to death. According to this calculation, the rivers should have been cut off, so where can there be enough water for life?
