On the ancient road, there were many travelers.
There were not only the merchant team's rolling wheels and the braying of mules and horses, but also high-ranking officials and nobles sitting in carriages, while most of the common people were on foot.
There were even quite a few Ascetic Monks wearing bamboo hats, lined up in a row.
Under the trees by the road, a group of mysterious people wearing Nuo Masks and draped in wide robes were burning a campfire, cooking, and resting.
Passersby saw them but dared not disturb them.
Those in the know were aware that this was the Wuyang Yangxi Troupe, one capable of setting altars to exorcise spirits, with a Wizard in the troupe.
As for those who didn't understand, they knew one principle:
When traveling, avoid trouble.
These naturally were Li Yan and his group.
They had set off from Zouma Town, arrived in Zizhong two days ago, and had now passed Jianyang County. Traveling for another half day, they would reach Longquan Station.
