New and dark light years

Chapter 66 What is Good Luck?
The so-called "running gang" is a term used among the spirit hunters.

The distances between cities were quite long, so a journey of more than ten days was common, and a month or two for those farther away was not unusual. To ensure their safety, civilians would travel in groups, usually gathering a hundred or two hundred people and hiring some "experts" to escort them.

Among the people invited are warriors, naturally spirit hunters will also be invited.

This situation is called "running away from the gang".

This matter had never happened to Li Lin before, but in recent times, Li Lin's progress and growth have been noticed by Su Huafang and others.

Apart from anything else, the thunder curse alone is amazing enough.

"How much is the gang fee?" Li Lin asked curiously.

"It's not much, I can probably give you thirty taels of silver. It takes about ten days to go back and forth."

Thirty taels of silver may not sound like much, but it actually has strong purchasing power.

Li Lin has indeed made some windfall recently, but it is all from empty pockets and will eventually be used up.

Su Huafang's wealth is definitely greater than Li Lin's, but he still has to run gangs. Could it be that Li Lin thinks he has too much money?
Li Lin nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Senior Su, for your care."

"That's it, then. Meet at the north gate of the county town before tomorrow evening."

"Okay, I'll be there early."

Su Huafang stood up and asked curiously, "I saw a lot of little paper figures running around outside, and the villagers didn't find it strange. Could it be you..."

Li Lin smiled and said, "It's me."

"Amazing!" Su Huafang said admiringly, "It seems that you really have the potential to be a genius in the art of magic. Maybe our Yulin County will have a first-class spirit hunter in the future."

"Excellent."

Then Su Huafang left with envy.

Li Lin had a good night's rest. The next morning he went to the mountain to pick some herbs and made a pot of Shengxi Pills.

As usual, he took a dozen life-promoting pills, a concealing robe, some dry food, and a red tasseled spear, and then came to the altar.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Lin saw that the dead tree next to the altar had actually grown new green shoots. Although there were only a few, the tree was indeed alive.

The Tree Fairy Lady appeared and asked in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going out for a trip, and it'll take more than ten days to go back and forth."

The Tree Fairy Queen frowned.

"Making money and running errands." Li Lin said with a smile, "A trip to Tianjin is also a chance to broaden my horizons. So I wanted to ask you, what souvenirs would you like?"

The Tree Fairy Lady's expression seemed to soften. She thought for a moment and said, "Lip red... Snow marrow vermilion."

Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

Then he turned and left.

The Tree Fairy Goddess kept staring at his back until she could no longer see him, then she disappeared back into the altar to rest.

Arriving in Yulin County, seeing that it was still early, Li Lin went to the market to eat a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach, and then walked towards the north of the city.

When they arrived at the north city gate, they found that a large group of people had gathered outside. Li Lin counted them and found that there were at least two hundred people.

The vast majority of them are ordinary people, bringing their families and large and small bags.

There are also many human-powered wooden wheelbarrows inside, which I think are used to transport luggage and supplies.

Outside the crowd, there were more than a dozen warriors wearing uniform black clothes. Su Huafang was talking to one of them.

Then he saw Li Lin and immediately waved.

Li Lin walked over.

"Come, let me introduce you." Su Huafang pointed at the warrior across from him and said, "He Yumao, the head of the Changfeng Escort Agency, nicknamed the Death Sword by the people of Jianghu." "This is Li Lin, Li Xunshu."

"I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

Li Lin and He Yumao saluted each other with fists clasped.

Then Li Lin asked, "Senior Su, are we the only two soul hunters?"

"There are also two White Patrolmen... Look, they're here now."

Li Lin turned around and found that it was indeed Bai Liwei and Bai Bufan who walked out of the city gate.

After the two men came over, Su Huafang said, "He Biaotou, how about we follow our usual rules from now on?"

"Okay." He Biaotou said with a smile, "Then I'll be the one giving the orders from now on. If there's anything wrong, please feel free to speak up. Don't blame me."

"No problem." Su Huafang clasped his fists.

He Yumao then walked to the front of the crowd and shouted, "Stop talking and listen to me. We'll set off in about an incense stick's time. We'll walk for two hours and rest for the night at the Zhenjun Temple in the north. Now check to see if you've brought everything and your baby. Don't mention missing things or people after you leave. We won't turn back or help look for you. Do you understand?"

No one spoke, but He Yumao was already a veteran and he knew that if no one spoke, it meant that they had no opinions.

Li Lin greeted Bai Lichuan and Bai Bufan, then asked curiously, "Why are we setting out at night? We won't be able to walk for long before we need to rest. Wouldn't it be safer if we traveled during the day? Wouldn't we be able to travel faster and not have to spend an extra night in the wild?"

Su Huafang smiled and said, "Spending the first night at the Zhenjun Temple will make ordinary people feel more at ease and get used to staying out overnight. If we travel during the day... then we'll have to rest in the wilderness on the first night. Many people who leave the county for the first time will be afraid and have trouble sleeping. Then, they'll be tired and sleepy the next day, which will actually slow down their progress."

Oh, Li Lin understood.

After a stick of incense, He Yumao organized more than 200 people to set off.

The escorts held torches and walked on the outside, protecting the crowd.

Bai Liwei and Bai Bufan were at the front of the team, leading the way with warriors such as He Yumao.

Li Lin and You Su Huafang were walking at the end of the team.

Night fell quickly. Logically, the Huanggui people should have come out by now, but the white jade token on Li Lin's waist only emitted a very faint red light.

In other words, Huanggui is quite far away from them.

This is the advantage of having a large number of people. Their energy and blood are vigorous, and Huanggui will not dare to approach them in a short time.

The journey was very peaceful. After walking along the official road for about two hours, I saw a temple in front of me in the moonlight.

"Okay, we're here." He Yumao shouted, "Everyone go in and rest. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave the temple. If you need to go to the dry toilet behind the temple, it may be a bit smelly, but it's better than running outside and being sucked dry by the wild monster..."

He Yumao kept talking loudly, guiding the two hundred ordinary people to carry out reasonable activities.

Li Lin also entered the temple.

Then he found an altar inside, where a "True Lord" with a dog's head and a human body was floating, yawning in boredom.

Su Huafang walked over, clasped his fists, and said, "Master Lingti, I'm sorry to bother you. Please have some!"

After saying that, he stretched out his arm.

True Lord Lingti leaned his head closer, looked at Su Huafang's arm, and took a deep breath.

Su Huafang's whole body trembled, as if he had a shiver, and his face flushed a little.

Li Lin suddenly thought of something and felt his scalp tingling, and he couldn't help scratching it.

At this moment, Bai Liwei noticed Li Lin's expression, walked over and said with a smile, "Now you understand why the Tree Fairy Queen is the fate most spirit hunters want to choose."

Li Lin nodded repeatedly, feeling that he was really lucky.
