On the third day, early in the morning, Hu Ma, Zhou Datong, and the others sat in a hired carriage. The driver was an experienced old skill, well-traveled and thus willing to take on a job like entering the Old Yin Mountain.
However, even so, this old skill had made a point to tell Hu Ma—who, despite his youth, was a generous Young Master—that they would only travel during daylight hours. On rainy days and at night, they absolutely had to stop and rest.
Hu Ma didn't need to be told; he had learned these rules when he first ventured out with the Second Master.
His understanding of the Old Yin Mountain was naturally not as deep as the Second Master's, or even this old skill's, but being cautious was never a mistake.
It was precisely to minimize trouble on the road that he hadn't even brought the Green Tai Sui, fearing it might attract an evil spirit.
