It has been three days since Ji Yan set off from the academy, and in the past three days, they have carried out several teleportations, and they have also experienced thousands of miles of rapid travel, the purpose is to reach Donghai City in the shortest possible time, and now they have arrived at Yuncheng, the last stop of the teleportation array, and then they need to travel to the Donghai battlefield on foot, but they still have to travel at least three thousand miles.

The team was led by twelve academy lecturers, two of whom had been sent from each hall, after all, it was the first time they had participated in such a large-scale battle, so they were still very inexperienced, although most of them were not to be underestimated in terms of cultivation and combat effectiveness.

Just as they were about to set off, they received bad news.

"I just got the news from General Han that Donghai City has fallen. A college lecturer sighed. "Alas, after all, it was a step too late, not only that, the enemy also took advantage of the situation to occupy several nearby cities, General Han ordered to be stationed on the spot, and we will set up a defensive line in Yuncheng, Duyuan, and Quyang to block the attack. ”

"Sir, what are we going to do next? Someone asked out loud.

"Let's rest for the time being, I've been on the road today, everyone's energy consumption is also very large, recuperate, I'm afraid there will be a task for you tomorrow." ”

Hearing that they can rest today, everyone showed a look of joy on their faces, and even Ye Zhiqiu, who usually doesn't speak, had a relaxed look on his face, for no other reason, although the space magic circle can be teleported over a long distance, it consumes a lot of mental energy, not to mention that they have also traveled thousands of miles on foot, and the fatigue of the body and mind can be said to be double.

Originally, this guy didn't seem to want to come, but he was taught a lesson by several gentlemen of the academy with the rules of the academy, and he was much more honest, but in the course of this year, he actually gained something in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, although I don't know what deal he made with the academy in exchange for the opportunity, it is said that a big man in the Sword Pavilion came forward to win it, and my sister felt very envious when she thought of this, and it felt good to have someone cover.

Speaking of him, I have to say Chen Fang again, this can be said to be the youngest king with a different surname since the founding of the Han Dynasty, he does not have a special title, but a surname as the king, there is nothing that sounds domineering, but it is also the same as his previous style of acting, peaceful but not losing his style, it is said that he also obtained a thing in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the shock caused by the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that day was not smaller than Ji Yan's, and partly because Ji Yan quietly entered the ninth floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion but no one found it, which made those elders very annoyed, and then increased the guard power of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, Ji Yan was almost certain, the two of them should have obtained something from the ninth layer, because he felt something familiar.

After saying that, the gentleman of the academy left, and they still had an afternoon and evening to rest.

Ji Yan decided to go out for a walk, he didn't look as tired as the others, and it was strange to say that his realm was almost the lowest in the entire academy, of course, except for a few people in the book hall who couldn't practice, the others in this year's time, it is said that a few of them have broken through to the realm of life and death, but in order to hide their strength, no one admitted that the rest of the people were originally the lowest in the realm of condensation, but now most of them have broken into the psychic, and he is still staying in contemplation, many people think that he can defeat Xu Feng at that time because he hid his strength, until he broke into the condensation, everyone found out that this kid was definitely stepping on shit luck and choosing a good sword。

Chen Fang didn't know where he went, he rarely saw him even when he was in the academy before, of course, there were few people in the academy who could teach him, Ye Zhiqiu was alone, after everyone knew his identity, there was still some sense of alienation, of course, with his character, he would not have much communication with other people.

A few little girls usually get together, their group of six hall disciples and girls are less than ten in total, and they usually almost get together, plus the woman's nature of shopping and watching the excitement has long disappeared.

"Ji Yan, Liu Gongzi invites everyone to drink, let's go together. "It was Chu Yunnan, who was also a disciple of the Sword Palace, he said that Liu Gongzi was naturally Liu Yuxuan, as the prince's son-in-law, both wealth and identity were naturally first-class, originally Ji Yan's impression of his four young people in the capital was not good, since the last time I saw him and Ye Zhiqiu show the other side, I don't think he is too bad, when he was in Kyoto, he often invited everyone to have a small gathering, I have to say, drinking is also a good way to contact feelings, Ji Yan followed a few times, but his amount of alcohol is really not good, every time he can't drink three glasses, he is already about to get drunk, and over time he also gives up, every time he goes, he tastes it lightly, and he drinks water if it doesn't work, everyone gave him the nickname of three cups.

"Go ahead, I'll go out and take a look and come back, it's better to rest well after a few days of tiredness." Ji Yan responded.

"Well, it looks like you won't be able to take off your three-cup hat for a while. After Chu Yunnan finished speaking, he smiled and followed the others.

Ji Yan smiled helplessly.

Yuncheng, the scale is the same as Donghai City, it is considered a big city, just listen to the name, you know, this is a city with transportation and trade as the development, otherwise there would be no teleportation array built here.

There is a large flow of people here, most of them are from several nearby cities to conduct mutual market transactions, and at the same time, there is an important branch of Chen Li Kee, although Chen Li Kee is from Zhongzhou, but their footprints are all over the entire Shenzhou continent, even at the most intense moment of the war between Dongtu and Zhongzhou, it has always remained neutral, which also shows its unshakable strength from another aspect.

Ji Yan wandered aimlessly on the street, although it is not as prosperous as Kyoto, but there are still a lot of people on the street, all kinds of shouting and shouting on the street, three or five-year-old children laughing and playing, there is no war where there is a beautiful place after all, but I am afraid that this beauty will not last long.

When he passed by a stall, someone suddenly stopped him, "Young man, I see that you have a ruddy complexion and a peach blossom face, and there should be a marriage waiting for you recently." ”

Ji Yan heard someone talking to him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a fortune teller, with a gossip map on the ground, and a white flag next to it, with four big characters written on it. The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, not much better than the beggar on the side of the road, and his hair was very neatly combed, and at first glance he had a bit of a fortune teller's meaning.

"Alas, liars aren't easy to mix up these days. Ji Yan secretly thought: "Anyway, it's okay to come first, you might as well talk to him, and you should be happy to help others." ”

"This, uh, master. Ji Yan thought about it, and still used a very polite salutation: "You said that I had a marriage recently, right?"

"Yes, the peach blossom atmosphere is strong, and it is a marriage that is not fake, but-" The old man paused.

"Just what?" asked Ji Yan.

"This fate is the most elusive, I see that there is a black depression in your peach blossom powder, I am afraid it will evolve into a peach blossom catastrophe. The old man stroked his beard and said deeply.

Ji Yan couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart after hearing this, he had seen a lot of fortune tellers on the roadside in his previous life, and he couldn't imagine that the fortune tellers who came here were all routines, and then he would definitely say how to turn evil into good fortune and so on, and then knock himself hard, alas, life is really boring.

Ji Yan held back a smile and pretended to be worried and asked, "Master, then what can you do to resolve it, Xiaosheng will rely on your old help." After speaking, Ji Yan handed over a silver tael, and the old man's eyes lit up, and he was very skillful in putting it into his sleeve.

"It's easy to say, the old man only counts three trigrams a day, you and I have a fate, today you happen to be the third, no matter what, although your affairs are troublesome, but it's not impossible. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched it in his arms, and for a long time, he took out something that looked like a small stone with a red rope tied to one end.

"Young man, this is a Tongling jade that I have kept with me for many years, and I can wear it on my body to avoid evil. As he spoke, he handed it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan stretched out his hand to take it, took a closer look, and immediately couldn't cry or laugh, isn't it just a stone, and it is also a spiritual treasure jade, if it is an ordinary person, he will naturally not be able to see the authenticity, but he is a cultivator of the Condensing Realm, how can there be a trace of spirituality in this broken stone.

Without waiting for him to speak, the old man continued: "Young man, you and I are destined, I will sell this piece of treasure jade to you cheaper, and the price is fifty taels, which is definitely not a fool." ”

"Hey, hey, why did you leave, you haven't paid the money yet, you give me back, where did you go. ”

Ji Yan began to ask for money after hearing the other party's ramblings, so he had no interest in continuing, the money he gave just now was enough for him to live for a while, as for this stone, he should have bought it himself, so while the other party was not paying attention, he made a mistake and disappeared into the crowd.

However, after he left, the old man stopped talking after scolding twice, and he had three more copper coins in his hand, not the ordinary copper coins on the market, but many strange runes carved into them.

The old man spread his hand and threw the copper coin on the table, the three copper coins were scattered to form a triangle, the old man frowned tightly after seeing the hexagram, and there were words in his mouth: "The past life is unknowable, the future is unpredictable, this son is really a variable, strange, strange, I don't know whether it is happy or sad." After the old man finished speaking, he packed his luggage, left the street, and disappeared into the crowd.

Ji Yan didn't know that the old man who looked like a liar really calculated a hexagram for him after he left, if he knew that this old man was not as simple as it seemed, he must be cheeky and eat and drink This uncle served well, but unfortunately at this time he had already gone to the west of the city, and there were more than ten streets away from the previous place.

A beggar was beaten on the street for some reason, and no one in the crowd of onlookers stopped him, Ji Yan leaned forward and learned that he had stolen someone's steamed buns, and was found to be about to run, but he knocked over a drawer of buns that people were about to come out of the cage, and now they were blocked.

As long as this kind of thing doesn't kill people, the government generally won't take care of it, and when he came here, Ji Yan saw too much indifference, but looking at the appearance of this shopkeeper, this beggar is afraid that he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die today.

He was about to stop it, but someone was faster than him.

"Stop. There was a voice in the crowd, and it was a nice female voice. A little girl dressed as a maid was the first to squeeze in, and then a woman wearing a veil walked in, followed by an old woman.

The three of them didn't seem to have any deterrent power, but in Ji Yan's opinion, it was not the same thing, because when he saw the old woman, his body instinctively appeared to want to retreat, and since he entered the Condensing Realm, he had only seen it on a few people such as Pang Qingyun, the master of the Sword Palace.

"Even if he damages your things, he shouldn't beat people like this. The veiled woman said, her voice giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, which was very comfortable.

"The girl didn't know that he knocked over my bun, and I also made a small business, and I didn't make much money in a day. The shopkeeper saw that the other party was well-dressed, and he spoke very politely.

"I'll compensate you for what he damaged, Xiaorou, give money. After the veiled woman finished speaking, the little maid took out some silver taels and gave them to the shopkeeper.

"Miss Xia is really a bodhisattva. A man in the crowd walked out, wearing a splendid Hanfu, with a handsome face, fair skin, and a pair of red phoenix eyes, looking a little feminine.

"It turned out to be Sun Gongzi, don't come unharmed. The veiled woman said in a flat voice.

"Presumably Miss Xia is also going to Chen Li Ji's auction, why don't we go together?"

"Childe is kind to the little woman, but there are still things to do, and I am afraid that it will delay Childe's trip. After speaking, he didn't bring the other party to answer, turned around and said, "Xiaorou, let's go." ”

The little maid answered, and the old woman followed behind without saying a word, but when she left, she glanced at Ji Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Yan didn't care too much, he just thought that he was in the fireworks, after all, he himself was a small Condensing Realm cultivator, and he didn't think that he could get everyone's favor with his own friendly aura and various bugs like the protagonists in those time-traveling dramas.

The beggar who was originally knocked down wanted to thank this life-saving benefactor, but the other party had already gone away, and no one was paying attention to him at this time, so he silently left the crowd, except for Ji Yan, I am afraid that no one would look at him more.

"Hey—" Ji Yan shouted

The beggar subconsciously turned around and was a little stunned when he found that the stranger was calling him.

"Don't steal anymore in the future, see that you're not too old, find a job to do, and you can always have something to eat." For some reason, he always felt that he was a little like this beggar, alone, without relatives, if he hadn't met Mr. Yi, I'm afraid his life wouldn't be much better.

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it to him, then turned around and left. But then he stopped, because the old woman from before was standing in front of her, and there was murder in her eyes.

"Miss, just now I felt a special force in the crowd of onlookers. The old woman's voice was a little hoarse, as if the leaves were rubbing the ground.

"Mama, I feel it too. At this time, they had arrived at the inn where they lived, and the little maid went downstairs to prepare for food, but only two of them were there, and the masked woman took off her veil and revealed her face.

The woman's age doesn't look very big, her fair little face is flawless, her slender white jade neck can see the cyan tendons, her eyes are not very big, and she doesn't have a spirit, and even gives people a feeling of confusion, but it doesn't affect her beauty, but for some reason she has a calm and mature temperament that doesn't match her age, just like a literati and ink writer who worries about the country and the people.

"Do you feel it?" asked the old woman in surprise.

"Yes, I know who he is, and the moment I saw him, the Sacred Heart, reacted. ”

"Miss! This matter is very important, and it must not be mentioned again, it is a matter of the survival of the family, and it seems that I must dispose of that kid. The murderous aura in the old woman's eyes was awe-inspiring.

"Mama, it's not right, he's just a minor cultivator, and besides, he doesn't necessarily know that he can resonate with the Sacred Heart. The woman argued with reason, hoping to convince the old man.

"Miss, you are soft-natured and too kind-hearted, I know this, but this matter is too much to do, so let me, an old woman, be the one of these wicked people. After saying that, her figure suddenly disappeared, and the woman knew that she couldn't stop the other party with her own ability, but she still chased after her.
