It was raining heavily with thunders every once a while. The bean-sized raindrops hit the top of the carriage, causing rustles.
Two sealed glazed lamps were hanging at the two corners of the carriage in front of them, making the road clear. Being driven by that tough man, two flying urans were galloping in the rain happily. Looking outside through the window, Zhang Tie saw trees and towering mountains flashing backward.
Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to sit outside the carriage with the driver; however, he found that only one person was available outside there while a canopy above the head of the driver could shelter wind and rain. Even so, wind and raindrops could still hit the driver. Therefore, the tough man had already put on a waterproof raincoat. At the invitation of the maid in white, Zhang Tie was not affected. After wringing out his wet clothes, he got on the vehicle.
In Motian Realm, there was no such stereotype that male and female should not be close to each other. Although there should be a prudent reserve between the genders in Motian Realm too, it was not excessive. If a male treated a female politely, they could sit together. This point was a bit similar to that of Taixia Country. Therefore, it was not offending public decency too much for Zhang Tie to stay with two strange women.
It was as warm as spring in the carriage because a stove was set inside. Besides, Zhang Tie smelled the faint fragrance from the maid. It was nice for Zhang Tie to stay with a beauty in a carriage and listen to the raindrops at night.
The maid was calm. As Zhang Tie didn’t mean to pursue her, he just looked outside. However, Aunt Wu had been gazing at Zhang Tie intensely since Zhang Tie got on the vehicle in fear that Zhang Tie suddenly turned into a timber wolf and charged at the “little white rabbit”.
There was a circle of soft seats inside the carriage. Sitting in the middle of the soft seats, Uncle Wu was facing the door with an eye on Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was facing the maid with a stove in between.
“Master, may I know your name?” the maid in veil asked Zhang Tie when the vehicle started to run at a high speed.
“Hahaha, I’m not a master. I’m just a small figure traveling across the world. Miss, you could call me Jin Wu…” Zhang Tie replied with a laugh. Frankly, as Zhang Tie had changed his look and face, he couldn’t use the same name anymore. Therefore, he made another armor for himself. At this moment, Zhang Tie had already understood why Donder prepared so many masks and always changed his identities. Because it was nice to experience the lives of different identities. “Miss, may I know your name?” Zhang Tie asked her politely.
“My family name is Tang; my given name is Mei. Master, you can call me Tang Mei!” the woman answered lightly. Meanwhile, she introduced the other two people to Zhang Tie, “This is Aunt Wu. The driver is Uncle Guan. I appreciate you so much for your help, Master Jin. Without your help, we don’t know how long will we wait there tonight!”
“It’s my pleasure, Miss Tang. Actually, we’ve met each other at the city gate. I’ve not imagined that I could meet you again on the way. We might be predestined to know each other…”
“Ah? Did we meet each other at the city gate?”
Although she was wearing a veil, Zhang Tie could still sense being gazed by a pair of shiny eyes. The veil was unusual. Zhang Tie felt it was like a single-direction glass. The maid could see clearly everything; however, average people could not see her look through the veil. Although Zhang Tie could easily see her look through the veil using his lotus flower eyes, he didn’t mean to do that. Because Zhang Tie felt that it would not be surprising and interesting anymore if he could expose the trump cards of the others depending on his special ability, even if he could win each time. As a person, he didn’t want to square accounts in every detail. Sometimes, it was also enjoyment for one to be confused.
The more powerful one was, the more one had seen, the more open-minded he would be. It was mental progress.
“At that time, Uncle Guan was on the vehicle, Miss Tang didn’t see me as you were in the carriage. But I saw Uncle Guan!”
“Oh, I see!” Tang Mei lightly nodded, “Master, given your look, you’re a warrior. I’ve not imagined that you’re proficient in craftsmanship. After you fixed this vehicle, it feels much more comfortable than before… It’s not bumpy any more…”
“Hahaha, poor kids always learn more!” Zhang Tie replied to her with a popular proverb in Taixia Country, causing her eyes to shine at a stroke, “As I’ve adjusted the shockproof block at the bottom of the vehicle, it feels more comfortable!”
“Master, given your sturdy frame, you could run as fast as flying uran and travel hundreds of miles a day. Do you want to learn from Bian Heng the Yama in Tigerback Mountain?”
It was Zhang Tie’s second time to hear about it today. In the daytime, he had heard it from a little boy who sold him a map. Now, Tang Mei mentioned it again. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s curiosity was aroused as he asked her, “It’s the second time for me to hear it today. Does Bian Heng the Yama need apprentices in Tigerback Mountain?”
“Bian Heng the Yama doesn’t have too many people in Tigerback Mountain. It’s said that Bian Heng only accepted 8 disciples over the past hundreds of years. All the 8 disciples have learned something from him and acquired a good reputation in the rest of the world. A few years ago, a piece of news was suddenly released from Tigerback Mountain that Bian Heng the Yama wanted to accept the last disciple. As a result, many people poured in Tigerback Mountain from the rest of the world and wanted to be the disciple of Bian Heng. They all want to learn something great so as to improve their social status. A few months ago, a news was released from Tigerback Mountain that Bian Heng was going to test people in Tigerback Mountain. The one who could pass his test would become his last disciple…”
“Haha, that’s interesting!” Zhang Tie replied with a smile…
