Chapter 169: Farewell, the mountains remain unchanged, the water flows forever
boom!
On the official road, Li Linfeng and other members of the convoy were slowly speeding up when they suddenly heard a huge explosion behind them, making them look at each other in surprise.

"What happened back there?"

"I don't know, let's go." Li Linfeng said hurriedly and quickly.

To be honest, he is a little scared now.

The things he encountered today were things he couldn't afford to deal with. His life was in danger at any time, which made him nervous.

Now I have no desire to understand at all.

At the foot of the forest ahead, Shen Qing sat astride a horse, deliberately slowing down the pace of chasing the wind and waiting for Li Linfeng and others.

After a while, Shen Qing heard the sound of rumbling wheels and horse hooves coming closer and closer, and he knew that Li Linfeng and others were approaching.

Shen Qing gently pulled the reins, allowing Zhuifeng to slowly stop.

As the convoy approached, dust rose lightly.

The convoy passed by him.

Shen Qing pulled the reins, squeezed the horse's belly, and quickly caught up with the horse.

Li Linfeng was sitting in front of the carriage, frowning, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Master." Shen Qing noticed Li Linfeng's abnormality and asked, "It seems that everything is fine on the road now, there is nothing unusual. You are in such a hurry, could something have happened?"

Hearing this, Li Linfeng looked at Shen Qing and said worriedly, "Not long after you left, I heard thunder and explosions behind me. I think someone from the Huangtian Sect is chasing us."

Shen Qing looked shocked: "Ah, so fast?"

"Let's go quickly."

Everything was peaceful and smooth after that. Li Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's tense nerves also relaxed.

As they moved away from Taiping County, the official road became narrower and the road surface became increasingly worse.

After walking for another five miles, they had finally reached the wilderness.

There was a fork in the official road in front of us, one winding eastward, and the other winding westward.

The county seat Yongcheng is on the east side of Taiping County, and Shen Qing is going east.

Lu Anzhou is on the west side of Taiping County, so Li Linfeng and others had to go west.

The sun sets and the surroundings are shrouded in twilight.

The convoy slowed down involuntarily. Li Linfeng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked between the two roads with mixed feelings.

He knew it was time to leave.

Shen Qing reined in his horse and stopped, and the convoy behind him also stopped silently.

There was an indescribable solemnity in the air.

Shen Qing turned around and looked at Li Linfeng and the others, and said, "Master, we have to go our separate ways."

Li Linfeng was not good at speaking in the face of such a situation, and after a long while he could only let out a long sigh.

He looked up at Shen Qing, his direct disciple, and his eyes became more complicated.

Shen Qing, who is now sitting on the horse, has grown to the point where he needs to look up to him. To some extent, this is his fortune as a master, but also his misfortune.

Fortunately, he was able to introduce such an evildoer to the martial arts, which was enough to prove his good vision; unfortunately, his disciple's level of cultivation further highlighted his mediocrity and incompetence as a master.

Realizing that it's time to say goodbye.

Aunt Shen Xiu, who was sitting in the carriage, took the initiative to walk out of the carriage, and Li Lingchan came out with her.

Compared to the former's simple reluctance, the latter's mood is much more complicated.

No matter how tough Li Lingchan is, she can no longer refute one fact in the face of ironclad facts: she missed a young man with a promising future.

It's impossible to say I don't regret it.

But Shen Qing no longer cared about it.

As his strength and vision expanded, these little incidents could no longer cause him any emotional fluctuations.

After a simple nod to Li Lingchan, Shen Qing walked up to his aunt Shen Xiu and expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Without your help, I would not be where I am today. Aunt, I will definitely remember this favor." Aunt Shen Xiu pulled him back and said, "You don't have to do this. We are a family. If I don't help you, I will not be able to face my brother and his wife in the afterlife. Don't say these words of gratitude anymore."

It is almost a thousand miles from Taiping County to Yongzhou, and it is also nearly a thousand miles from Taiping County to Lu'anzhou.

If Shen Qing's cultivation level does not break through to the level of flying with the wind in the future, it is foreseeable that they will not see each other again for a long time.

Shen Qing took her aunt Shen Xiu, uncle Shen Er and others, and the family chatted for a long time.

Aunt Shen Xiu and Uncle Shen's brother and sister couldn't help crying as they talked, and they hugged each other tightly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Linfeng raised a bitter but determined smile and said, "Let's go."

"Master, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and the waters flow forever. We will meet again if we are lucky enough." Shen Qing shouted loudly while sitting on the horse.

With a heavy neigh of horses, the convoy started slowly.

Shen Qing watched the figures of Li Linfeng and others gradually go away until they completely disappeared on the official road.

He stood there for a long time without moving.

After a long while, Shen Qing jumped on his horse and shouted, "Let's go too! Go!"

With a whip sound, Zhuifeng started riding his horse and galloped away quickly.

Shen Qing faced the east and saw the world in front of him gradually being shrouded in darkness as the sun set.

……

"Look, there is a village ahead." Tian Xiaohu, who was sitting in the carriage, pointed to a place and shouted, "We can stay near that village tonight."

Shen Qing looked in the direction Tian Xiaohu pointed and found a small village with four or five households beside the official road right in front of him.

One of the houses had two red lanterns hanging, and the bright red light looked like blood in the night.

"Hawkeye!"

Shen Qing's face was as calm as water and he activated his Eagle Eye skill.

Pictures of the surroundings kept appearing in Shen Qing's mind.

After a moment, these images began to combine to form a bird's-eye view.

Shen Qing used his [Sharp Eyes] skill to carefully observe the village.

Night falls and the evening breeze whispers.

From Shen Qing's perspective, the village was lightly shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, he observed carefully and did not find anything abnormal.

Tian Xiaohu said to Shen Qing: "We can go over and see if there is any suitable dry food and water. If there is, it is best to replenish it. It is thousands of miles from here to Yongzhou. It will take us about ten days to get there. We will need a lot of food for people and horses along the way."

Shen Qing retracted his view, nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

The horse-drawn carriage rumbled along the deserted official road, gradually approaching the lonely village.

This village is located next to the official road. When Shen Qing and others approached the village, they felt an indescribable sense of desolation and loneliness.

"I'll go knock on the door."

Tian Xiaohu jumped off the carriage and stood outside the wall, shouting, "Is anyone here? We are passing by here. Can we stay in your village?"

The village is surrounded by walls, which the villagers use to prevent attacks from wild beasts outside.

It looks quite new and doesn't look like it has fallen into disrepair for a long time.

After calling for a long time and no one responded, Tian Xiaohu felt a little strange.

"What about people?"

Just when they thought there was no one there, the door with the red lantern opened.

A middle-aged farmer came out cautiously, looked at Shen Qing and the others for a few times, and shouted angrily, "Who are you, where are you from, and what's the matter?"
