Chapter 679: Suspicion
Cangyun looked up at the starry sky, as bright and beautiful as the demon world, but he couldn't experience a trace of aura here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You didn't tell them where we came from, did you?" Cangyun asked Huang Erniu.
Huang Erniu shook his head: "Brother Cangyun, I'm not so careless, although I haven't read any books, I still live a lot of age." Huang Erniu laughed a few times.
Cangyun remembered Huang Erniu's white-haired appearance back then, and couldn't help but wonder: "Erniu, I forgot to tell you that this place is called Kyushu, and it is the place of falling gods. ”
Cangyun told Huang Erniu what he knew about the situation in Kyushu, and especially warned him to hide his true identity, when Cangyun finally told Huang Erniu that it was very likely that he would not be able to leave Kyushu, Huang Erniu did not show too much shock and loss, Huang Erniu had lived in the mortal world for a long time, and he was more adaptable to the mortal world.
"Brother Cangyun, you are so bold, you are a quasi-respecter, you rushed into Kyushu regardless of it, in order not to affect others, it is really good. Huang Erniu gave a thumbs up and praised.
Cangyun smiled bitterly: "It's a burden on you." ”
Huang Erniu laughed twice in a low voice: "Brother Cangyun, don't say that, if I hadn't met you, I would have died of old age, and now I can live another life as a young man, this is what I, Huang Erniu, earned." ”
Cangyun said: "You can see it, but I really didn't expect that this Kyushu is no different from a nether realm, but this place does make the cultivator's mana completely useless, if you come to let me come here, what's the point?
Cang Yun deeply felt that this was not much help for his cultivation. In any case, it is necessary to deal with the immediate difficulties first and survive in Kyushu. Huang Erniu agreed with Cangyun's point of view: "Brother Cangyun, you are injured now, you can recuperate with peace of mind, let's follow Hu Di and them out of the desert and find a place to settle down, you slowly think about how to cultivate, how to find a way to break the Buddha's power, I will earn food for us, you can rest assured, I used to support myself in the past, but now I am young and strong, there is no problem in supporting you again." ”
Cangyun had no way to refute it, and he fell quickly from a height of one zhang, which was already seriously injured for a mortal. Cangyun had many contusions on his body, although the bones were not broken, the pain was still unbearable, fortunately, Cangyun knew that these external injuries were repaired quickly, and they could be healed in ten days and a half, so he could only fully accept Huang Erniu's care, and at the same time secretly glad that he forgot Huang Erniu in his body, otherwise he would faint in the desert, and he would be dried up in the sun in an hour, and die silently and inexplicably.
Woody is an experienced businessman, and under his leadership, although the desert is not a comfortable place, it is by no means a place where the beasts devour living beings, and when Cangyun looks at the sunset and feels the blazing heat of the day recede, he even feels that the desert is a little cute.
Woody clearly remembered every oasis and every dark river in his mind, and the team members were very relaxed, and never felt that it was painful to move forward in the desert. Woody explained that this was not his own credit, but the experience of countless predecessors in exchange for their lives, along the way, Cangyun and his party even encountered a few inns, which could supplement the supplies of business travelers, and there was also a cantonment station, responsible for the safety of the trade route, although the soldiers in this cantonment were pitiful, and the combat effectiveness was not much stronger than the dog at the gate of the cantonment.
The point is that the dog is too strong, and it is not much worse than a little tiger.
Huang Erniu is upright by nature, coupled with not living in vain for more than 100 years, and then the experience of constant fighting brought Huang Erniu a tenacious character, and Hu Di and others quickly became acquainted, but adhering to Cangyun's opinion, he only said that the two of them came to explore in the desert, but they repeatedly suffered accidents and lost all their equipment, Hu Di asked Huang Erniu where he came from, Huang Erniu said that he was from Yunlai Town, anyway, Hu Di has not been to many places, and there is no doubt.
From the chat with Hu Di, Cang Yun learned that the purpose of Hu Di's caravan was to go to a frontier in the Western Regions called the Great Yan Empire in the east, sell the goods there, make huge profits from it, and buy the rare goods of the Great Yan Empire from the border and transport them to a rich country in the west called Po Chip. The distance between the Great Yan Empire and the Po Chip Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and Hu Di's caravan is not a complete journey, but a small country called Qi Guiguo as a foothold, buying and selling goods, and the entire trade route between the Great Yan Empire and the Po Chip Kingdom is composed of several trade routes, and Hu Di's caravan is part of it. Of course, sometimes Woody's caravans will also travel long distances for various purposes, and although the risks increase, the corresponding benefits will be multiplied.
After listening to Hu Di's description, the Great Yan Empire is not much different from the ordinary Nether mortal world, and it is not a huge empire in the ordinary Nether Realm, but in a desperate situation like Kyushu, it is not easy to rule a land like the Great Yan Empire that has thousands of miles from east to west.
It was night again, and the caravan dwellings were in an oasis.
Woody was particularly pleased, and took out a lot of fine wine and jerky, and specially prepared some more mutton. Woody's men lit a bonfire, beaming with joy as if it was going to be a New Year.
Cangyun was already able to stagger around on his own, and seeing that Woody's caravan was so excited, he couldn't help asking, "Woody, what is today's happy day?"
Hu Di put his arm around Cangyun's shoulders and said: "Brother Cangyun, when you arrive at this oasis, you will enter the territory of the Great Yan Empire in front of you, as long as you walk for another day, one day, and enter the Great Yan Empire, it will be absolutely safe, and if you go for two more days, it will be our destination, you don't know, this time we are bringing, uh, hehe, Brother Cangyun, seeing that you are recovering so well, you have to drink two glasses tonight." ”
Cangyun knew that Woody deliberately concealed some facts, but Cangyun was already past the age to go back and explore the secrets that others had deliberately hidden, and Woody took care of him all the way, and Cangyun was very grateful.
Woody's men gathered around the campfire, drank not-so-fine spirits, ate meaty roast lamb, and the night breeze blew through the trees of the oasis, making the small lake ripple. Woody led his subordinates to sing a ballad that Cangyun couldn't understand, the singing was melodious, Cangyun could hear the longing for his hometown, his expectations for the future, a few sips of spirits, Cangyun was proud.
If you die in Kyushu, you will be powerless to defy the sky, and it will be better than being a disaster when the Buddha power in your body is out of control.
Cangyun forgot that he was no longer a quasi-zun, he could no longer be strong, and his current body was just a mortal body, not even a strong mortal, after drinking a few more glasses, his wine was high, and he sang with Woody and the others, and his mind was open.
"It turns out that if you drink too much, you can release your mind, hahaha, if Lao Tzu had known, he would have come to Kyushu to do something. "Cangyun was already drunk unconsciously, and he didn't seem to be able to keep the last clarity when he had the power of mana.
When Cangyun opened his eyes again, it was already noon, fortunately in the oasis, the scorching sun was blocked by the shade of the trees, otherwise Cangyun would have to burn his flesh and skin. With a splitting headache, Cangyun sat up with difficulty, shook his head, thirsty, and looked around, Hu Di and the others had already gotten up and were forming a circle, and Cangyun could only see his back.
Huang Erniu saw Cangyun wake up, quickly brought a bag of water, and gave Cangyun a few sips, Cangyun saw that Huang Erniu's expression changed, and asked, "What happened?"
Huang Erniu's face was gloomy, and he said, "Brother Cangyun, you don't know, we all drank too much yesterday, so something happened that shouldn't have happened." ”
Cangyun's face changed when he heard this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and just wanted to touch it, Huang Erniu said: "Brother Cangyun, you don't have to worry too much, I will be responsible for you." ”
Cangyun's face became even more ugly: "What, is it you?"
Huang Erniu shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's Hu Di." ”
Cangyun felt five thunderbolts.
Huang Erniu comforted: "Brother Cangyun, you don't have to be like this, although I don't have mana, my martial arts are still there, even if those robbers come, they will definitely be able to protect you." ”
Cangyun retracted his thoughts: "Oh, what robber?"
Huang Erniu said: "This morning, when Hu Di and they woke up, they found that someone came to put a sheep's head skeleton, and a triangle was engraved on the skull. ”
Cang Yun frowned slightly: "Why don't those robbers attack while we are asleep?"
Huang Erniu pouted: "Hu Di said, this is the style of the Ali Thieves Group, and we must leave a mark first, and then start the next day." ”
Cang Yun thought clearly, this kind of thief's usual trick, leaving a day, can let the prey spend in fear, exhaust the prey's patience and physical strength, and it is most appropriate to attack when the prey has a mental breakdown. Moreover, it may be that the person who came to place the mark was just a thief in charge of detection, and the large team did not follow, otherwise it is very likely that the caravan of Woody would be destroyed on the spot.
When a thief sits to a certain extent, he must abide by the rules he has set, otherwise it will be like a kebab without cumin, and it will lose some taste.
Remembering what Woody didn't say last night, presumably Woody's caravan was carrying extremely valuable goods, which was known by Ali thieves and came to rob them.
There is one more night, you can go to the border of the Yan Empire, and it is precisely this night that is the day of the Ali thief's attack.
"In the caravan, there are spies. Cangyun Road.
"Spies?" Huang Erniu didn't understand.
Cangyun said: "The other party knows that there are treasures in Hu Di's caravan, and he also knows Hu Di's travel route and travel time, and there must be collusion between Hu Di's subordinates inside and outside." ”
Huang Erniu patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”
Cangyun looked at Woody and the others, they had all gotten up, and walked towards Cangyun and the others with an unkind face, Cangyun sighed: "I'm afraid Woody also thought of it, but it's a pity." ”
Huang Erniu was puzzled: "It's a pity what?
Cangyun shook his head: "Erniu, don't resist." ”
Huang Erniu couldn't figure it out.
Hu Di's face was solemn: "Cangyun, Erniu, I really didn't expect that you would be Ali thieves." ”
