Chapter 270 Road Blockage (12)

The strong wind blew the curtains, bringing a hint of coldness as he entered the carriage.

Yu Guihai picked up the talisman he had just carved, feeling very satisfied. With more frequent production, his production of the Nine-Direction Talisman became more and more perfect, and each talisman was like a work of art, exquisite and incomparable.

Since he was promoted to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, his own Xuanyin spiritual energy became more pure and powerful, making the power of the talismans he made even higher.

If he were at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, it would be difficult to resist his Yin Fire Talisman.

Yu Guihai put away the talisman, lifted the curtain and looked outside. There were sparse trees on the side of the road, and the withered yellow leaves were drifting in the wind, revealing a bit of bleakness.

The winter in this world comes late, and it is only as close to the twelfth lunar month that it has just begun to feel a bit of autumn chill.

In the distance were dark mountains. Yuqing Prefecture was located in the north, with many mountains and hills, and sparsely populated, which made it look even more desolate.

However, this road was the official road leading to the city, and there were quite a few pedestrian caravans on the road. He would meet one from time to time, and they would come one after another without fear. They were all large groups of dozens or hundreds of people, and there were very few people traveling alone like him.

After all, the world was very unstable, with bandits and beasts rampant, and demons and ghosts appearing. If you didn't have some skills, you would be courting death if you went on the road alone.

Yu Guihai looked at it for a while, felt a little bored, so he lowered the curtains and closed his eyes to rest.

Beicang Prefecture City was 5,000 miles away from Yuqing Prefecture City. His carriage used good horses and could reach it in a few days.

Yu Guihai walked and stopped, and two days had passed, and he had not yet completed one-third of the journey.

The main reason was that the horses needed to rest and feed, but he didn't care.

On this day, the horses were a little tired after running for half a day, and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.

Yu Guihai felt it, so he opened the curtain and looked forward. At the corner of a mountain ridge not far ahead, a gray flag fluttered in the wind, with several large characters written on it, Maotou City Inn.

He knew that this place was an important resting place on the official road leading to Beicang Prefecture. When he arrived here, he had already traveled more than one-third of the way.

Yu Guihai drove his horse forward and soon turned around the mountain ridge and came closer.

A small wooden and stone building appeared in front of him. He was slightly stunned. There were unexpectedly many pedestrian caravans here. Not only was there a sea of ​​people in the inn, but there were also many people crowded in the open space next to it where carriages and horses were parked.

Even in the woods next to it, many people and horses could be seen crowded in to rest. Those who didn't know would think there was an ambush.

"What's going on?"

Yu Guihai was puzzled. Even if this place was a transportation hub, there shouldn't be so many people staying here. They should come and go as they please. It looked like no one had left for many days.

He drove the carriage forward, but the scene he imagined of the waiter with a smile on his face coming to greet him and lead the horse did not appear. The waiter had already lost himself in the crowd, and there was no place to park nearby.

He even looked around, and there was no place to park nearby.

Yu Guihai looked around and parked the car next to the woods in the distance. This side was farther away from the inn, and there were not many people.

He unloaded and tied the horse, put the horse feed, and placed three magic traps around the carriage. The box on the carriage contained spiritual stones and a batch of items, which were very precious and could not be taken lightly.

Of course, the magic trap was just in case. After all, his perception was extremely strong. Even if he was in the inn, if someone approached the carriage, he would have ways to stop it.

After settling the carriage, Yu Guihai walked towards the pedestrians who were resting under the shade of the nearby trees. This was a small caravan with dozens of people, sitting around and chatting in groups of three or two.

"May I ask this old man, why are there so many people here?" Yu Guihai came to an old man who seemed to be the leader of the caravan, clasped his fists and asked.

"Young man, you don't know, because there is a mountain pass ten miles ahead, and for some reason the mountain collapsed and landslided, blocking the road. Maotou City organized people to dig it. Two days have passed, and only a small part has been dug. It is estimated that it will take another three or four days to dig it through. Alas, it has been delayed for so many days, I am afraid that the delivery date will be delayed." The old man explained, then shook his head and sighed.

"Thank you for telling me."

Yu Guihai said goodbye to the old man, frowning slightly.

The date of the trade fair is not far away, he needs to get to Beicang Mansion as soon as possible, and it is impossible to delay here for three or four days.

"Forget it, take a rest, and continue on the road after noon. The landslide can't stop me." He thought about it and made a plan.

Yu Guihai went to the inn, only to see that it was already full. Not to mention that there were no seats, some people even sat on the ground and gathered together to shout and yell.

Yu Guihai replenished his wine and ordered some food, then simply returned to his carriage, sat on the ground, and drank by himself.

After eating, Yu Guihai dug out three magic traps, and went on the road and continued to move forward.

Along the way, he met many people returning one after another, some of whom were sent by caravans to check the situation, and some pedestrians who did not believe in evil and wanted to try their luck. But looking at their depressed looks, it was obvious that the situation was not good.

"Another section collapsed, I'm afraid it will take another three or four days. This time, the shopkeeper must be worried to death"

"Who said it wasn't, damn it, how could a good cliff collapse so suddenly."

"This is too unlucky."

Yu Guihai listened to the words of the pedestrians on the roadside, thinking in his heart, it seems that the landslide has not stopped, and the road will be opened in the foreseeable future.

Ten miles is not far, Yu Guihai soon came to the mountain pass where the landslide occurred.

Here, people from Maotou City are busy clearing the earth and rocks. They have cleared a long distance, but there is still a long distance of landslide ahead. There are steep cliffs on the roadside farther away, and it seems that there is a high possibility of landslide.

Yu Guihai looked for a while, and suddenly frowned. His strong perception made him find some suspicious points.

Just in the section of the road where the new landslide happened, he sensed a trace of residual internal energy.

"Brother, let me ask, when did the new landslide happen?" He stopped a middle-aged mountain man and asked.

"Who knows when the landslide happened? It didn't happen when I got off work yesterday, but it happened this morning." The middle-aged mountain man answered with resentment.

"So that's it."

Yu Guihai looked thoughtful.

"It seems that someone may have done it on purpose."

Thinking of this, he parked the car on the side of the road, and jumped up the cliffs on both sides with a few leaps. He quickly came to the place where the new landslide happened by performing the light body lifting technique. He carefully checked the abnormalities he sensed, and sure enough, there were traces of fierce attacks in several places.

He returned to the carriage and thought for a while.

Since someone deliberately collapsed the cliff, there must be a plan, either to intercept someone, or to do something shameful ahead.
