Chapter 9: Forced to Go the Same Way
"Hmph, even if you don't have malicious intent, but your appearance in this deserted place is very suspicious, how can you leave like this?!" said Major General Li Yu.
Ji Wanjiao said: "Li Yu is right, it's so easy to go!"
Zhang Zhiyi said: "Yuzhen, this is the country of Wu, and then go north to the border of Dayu, since you don't know where this is, then why do you want to go north?"
I said, "Mr. Zhang, I calculated by myself that I should go north. ”
Zhang Zhiyi: "Then since you are proficient in divination, we can meet because we have this opportunity, you should go with us." ”
I was also helpless, it seemed that I couldn't hide from it, so I simply said: "Then it's all up to Mr. Zhang's arrangement." ”
This incident is also a warning to me, I have been living safely in the valley for more than ten years, so I am used to sleeping in that almost settled way.
This way I can't feel the changes in my surroundings at all, which is fatal outside the valley, this time it was just some misunderstanding, a little trouble, next time if someone takes advantage of my sleep to cut me down?
Along the way, Princess Jingyue looked at me unpleasantly, and it was impossible for others to look at me pleasing to me. This Ji Wanjiao is also called Princess Jingyue, how can she be a little quiet when she looks like that. Fortunately, I was allowed to sit outside the carriage and not let me run after them. At this time, the convoy was ready to stop after a day's journey, and camped here for the night.
Zhang Zhiyi walked up to me with a smile and asked, "How is it?" Yuzhen, are you still used to it?"
I smiled and said, "Habit, quite habitual, what is this riding beast Mr. Zhang? It looks and feels unusual." ”
Zhang Zhiyi said: "This is called the Wind Chasing Beast, it is one of the few low-level spirit beasts that can be kept in captivity, although it cannot be compared with your Wukong, but it is also extraordinary, their speed and endurance You have also seen this day." ”
I asked, "Mr. Zhang, how long will it take for us to get to Dayu Country? Do you have a map or something like this for me to see?" I want to know what this continent is like. ”
"If it goes well, it should be ten days before you can reach Dayu Kingdom, has your master never told you what it's like outside?" asked Zhang Zhiyi.
I sighed and said, "Alas. . . He only told me the names of six countries and seven sects, and said nothing about the rest, except that I should see it myself. ”
"Your master is really unfathomable! Here you are, this is the whole map of the entire Zhongzhou, and it is not a precious thing. I sent you, and the old man has a good relationship with you. Zhang Zhiyi said.
I took the map and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang." ”
Finally able to know what the world was like, I quickly opened the map to take a closer look. A lot of this map is not very detailed, just a rough idea, but it is enough for me.
Looking at the scale of the map, I found that this continent is much larger than I imagined, and I roughly estimated that the largest country in the middle, Dayu, should have more than one and a half times the area of the motherland I once remembered.
There are five countries around Dayu, and Yanyun in the northeast is slightly smaller, with two-thirds of the area of Dayu. Next to Yanyun Country, Cangqi Country is only a little smaller than Dayu Country by the sea in the east, and it feels equivalent to between three-quarters and four-fifths of Dayu Country. The Wu Kingdom in the south is next to the Dayu Kingdom and the Cangqi Kingdom, and the area is not much different from the Dayu Kingdom.
Next to the state of Wu is the state of Chu in the southwest of the map, which is about the same size as the state of Cangqi. Finally, it is in the southwest of the map in the Xia Lan Kingdom, next to the Chu State and the Dayu Kingdom, with an area slightly larger than Yanyun.
The map only shows these six major countries, and there are many places that only mark place names, such as a place called Liaotu Grassland further north in the country of Dayu, and a place called 100,000 mountains in the southwest of the country of Chu. This should not be all of this continent, so you can imagine how big this continent really is.
At dinner, Zhang Zhiyi brought me some food and wine, to be honest, what I have eaten in the valley for so many years is very simple, and Master and I are adhering to the principle of doing nothing if you are hungry. Although Zhang Zhiyi said that the food is simple and don't mind, it is too rich for me.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, I have never eaten such rich food for so many years. Is this wine? I taste, I taste... Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I said with a smile.
"Hehe, Yuzhen, it's good if you like it, your temperament is pure and unpretentious, it's really rare. "I can see that this Zhang Zhiyi still looks at me more pleasing to the eye.
"Hmph, this earth-earth Taoist priest who has never seen the world is really blind to such a good spirit monkey. Princess Jingyue glanced at me and said casually.
At this time, Li Yu came to me and said, "Hey, don't you cultivators pay attention to pure hearts and few desires? Do you look like a Taoist priest?"
I said indifferently: "First of all, I am an ordinary person, and secondly, I am a Taoist priest. Since I've been touched by these foods, why should I pretend not to react? Pure heart and few desires are talking about a state of mind, not behavior. I haven't cultivated to that level now, I'm just cultivating slowly. Why should I care what other people think of me? Wukong, come, you can taste it too, how about it? It tastes good, right? Haha!"
Zhang Zhiyi said with a smile: "The disciple of the master is really good! Yu Zhen, if you like it, you can eat more, there are a lot of things." ”
I've been living a mixed meal for a few days.,Think about my luck is still pretty good.,I can eat and drink for free when I get a map for nothing.,This good thing is generally not touched.。 At first, I didn't want to, but luckily they had to take me.
On this day, when the convoy reached a fork in the road, I suddenly had a sense of danger in my heart, and then I made a simple calculation, 'Strange, there is danger! Why is it quite troublesome, the reason is not me, it seems that there is really no food and drink in vain in the world!'
I shouted into the carriage, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I have something to tell you, please stop." ”
Zhang Zhiyi called the parking team, and before she could speak, she heard Princess Jingyue poke her head out of the carriage and say, "Tudaoist, what are you going to do? When will it be your turn to command here?!"
I ignored Princess Jingyue and said to Zhang Zhiyi, "Mr. Zhang, can you take a step to speak?"
Zhang Zhiyi walked with me not far away and asked, "What's wrong?" If you have anything to say, just tell the old man directly. ”
I was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Zhang, there are some things that I don't want to ask, so please forgive me for being rude." I want to ask if you have any enemies, or some people who want to do evil to you?"
Zhang Zhiyi was a little surprised: "Yuzhen, why do you ask that? You see something wrong, tell the old man directly." ”
"That's right, I figured out that there might be some man-made danger in this direction we were going, so I wanted to ask you to make sure. Of course, it could also be bandits and bandits. I said.
"Oh? that's so... Zhang Zhiyi groaned slightly: "Can you calculate the approximate distance from us, or when it is, and how strong is the other party?"
