"Everyone, long waiting!" Sun Da got out of the car and clasped his fists in salute.

"The lord of the city is polite...... The city lord was polite......" Zhang Yunfan withdrew his eyes staring at the carriage behind, a smile appeared on his face, and Dan Qiusheng returned the salute in unison, and then Zhang Yunfan asked with a joking excuse, "The city lord is really an elegant person, if my expectations are right, it should be Mrs. sitting in the carriage behind, right?" ”

Originally, Sun Da was still smiling, but when he heard the word Mrs. come out, his face suddenly changed, and he waved his hand in horror, "Don't talk nonsense, your heart will cause trouble." ”

Zhang Yunfan was startled and didn't dare to say more, but a thought immediately came to his mind, "Could it be that the person in the car is a certain official from the Great Wilderness City?" ”

The originally relaxed atmosphere became tense because of Zhang Yunfan's words, and everyone didn't dare to say more, but Danqiu was alert, pulled Zhang Yunfan's clothes corner, and dragged him to the city gate.

"The people sitting in the car are probably people from the Great Wilderness City, not that we can provoke them, more things are better than less things, and we still have less to say along the way." Dan Qiusheng kindly reminded.

"Thanks for the reminder." Zhang Yunfan accepted the love, but he didn't care too much about this matter, in his opinion, if the other party is an angry person, it is a big deal for him to leave immediately, if he dares to find trouble, then he will not be polite, it is a big deal to release a thunderbolt so that this grandson can't even recognize his mother.

Just when Zhang Yunfan was thinking nonsense, Sun Da ran to the car behind, bowed down and muttered to the people in the car for a long time, as if he was asking for something, and after a while he straightened up, turned back to the car in front, and pointed to the city gate to everyone: "There are horses outside the city, you guys get on the horses first, and follow the guards to lead the way." ”

There was indeed a group of guards at the gate of the city, and there were three horses lined up on the side of the road, and when Zhang Yunfan and them came, the guards handed the reins to them. Coincidentally, the person responsible for leading the horse and escorting Zhang Yunfan was the one who blocked him from entering the city last time, and this person also extorted Zhang Yunfan a sum of money a few days ago, and his face suddenly changed when he saw him again.

"Big brother, remember me?" Zhang Yunfan recognized the other party, took the reins and deliberately teased.

The guard was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly covered up: "The master must have remembered it by mistake, he is just a guard below, how can he know such a master as the master!" ”

"Really?" Zhang Yunfan didn't bypass him, and asked, "I have always had a good memory, I will definitely repay those who are kind to me, and I will also keep in mind those who are against me, and I will return it tenfold." ”

The words have come to this point, the guard was scared too much, he knew very well that the City Lord's Mansion specially held the Dan King Tournament this time, the purpose was to select these alchemists, and none of the people who could pass the test and stand here were not easy to get along with, the Ming family had the ability, in order to keep these alchemists, the City Lord's Mansion did not mind sacrificing a few insignificant guards.

Thinking of this, the guard was suddenly frightened and said: "My lord, yes, I don't know Taishan with eyes, you don't remember anyone, please let it go!" After he clasped his hands into fists and bowed, his whole body became a ninety-degree right angle.

"How should you and I punish you?" Zhang Yunfan turned over and got on the horse, riding on the horse, squinting at the guards who lowered their heads and didn't dare to straighten up, with a faint smile on their faces.

The guard trembled and said, "Let the adults fall." ”

At this moment, a person from another group of guards not far away drove a horse, first glanced at the guards who were bent over on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Yunfan and asked, "Master Zhang, is there anything offended by this person?" If so, please let us know and let you know how to do it. ”

When the bowed guard heard this, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, and it was at this moment that Zhang Yunfan spoke, "It's okay, there are a few things that are not enough to worry about, I have already taught him a lesson, and there is no need to punish him." The guard on horseback nodded, turned his horse's head and walked to the front of the team, while Zhang Yunfan turned his head and said to the bowed guard, "Forget it, get up, just now it should be a great punishment, next time let me see you bullying people, it will be bad." ”

"Drive!" Zhang Yunfan fell into the stirrups, and the big black horse under him slowly walked forward, until the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, and the guards at the city gate dared to stand upright, but they stood unsteadily, and there was still a lingering expression of horror on their faces......

The convoy ran along the avenue full of poplar trees, and the carriage rumbled behind about a stick of incense until it reached the junction with the desert, where there was a dilapidated post house with a large flag on the roof, and hunted in the wind. The man in charge of guarding the place was a veteran who was casually dressed and his clothes were already in tatters, but he didn't care.

In front of the post house is a forest, in the forest tethered horses and camels, these horses and camels have exceptionally smooth fur, it can be seen that the usual food is not bad. When the convoy came to a stop, one of the guards shouted, "The post has arrived, please dismount and change to camels." After that, he stepped forward and handed over to the veterans of the station.

The horses and carriages in the team were left at the post station, and the guards were busy for a while, carrying all the luggage they carried onto the camel's back, and it was only then that Zhang Yunfan saw the appearance of the car behind.

The curtain of the carriage in the rear was lifted, and two people walked down, a man and a woman, the woman was dressed as a servant, and it was not difficult to see that the other was the main owner of the trip, that is, a mysterious person who had been rumored to come from the Great Wilderness City.

The man looks quite handsome, his face is like a crown of jade, his long hair is tied into a bun in a clever golden crown, a white robe embroidered with gold thread moire is particularly graceful and luxurious, and his feet are also wearing a pair of gold thread moire white face cloud climbing boots, extremely clean and neat, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning slightly, let the servants next to him surround him but as if he didn't see it, just look around.

The caravan was ready, the first camel took the lead, the wind chimes echoed in the forest, the rest of the camels followed, and the group entered the desert.

Before he came, Zhang Yunfan already knew the destination of this trip, which was the long-rumored ice lake, and he still had a little impression of that place, and the information he knew was some residual memories of Zhang Xuan. At the beginning, Zhang Xuan went to the ice lake to look for the ice lotus in order to heal his injuries, although he collected the ice lotus, he only arrived at the periphery of the ice lake, in fact, the area of the ice lake is huge, and the lake is shrouded in a layer of white fog all year round, and it is impossible to see how big it is.

The glacial lake is a strange scenery in the desert, and the cold emitted by it contrasts strongly with the surrounding desert, and if you are in it, you will feel the wonder of nature. In addition, there are many dangers near the ice lake, and many monsters in the desert are hiding here, and if they don't get into it, they will die in it and never get out again.

Along the desert all the way, until the sun sets, everyone no longer rushes, and camps in a mountain col, during which Sun Dadu is with Zhang Yunfan and others, and the son from the great wilderness city hides in the tent and does not come out, and there are a few women's voices from time to time, which attracts the guards outside to look sideways, but no one dares to approach the tent.

"City Lord Sun, I wonder if the Purple Fire Pill will work?" Zhang Yunfan asked intentionally or unintentionally while eating dry food, and others couldn't understand what he was.

Sun Da also whispered in code, "The effect of the pill is very good, the injury has healed, and Master Zhang cares." ”

Zhang Yunfan nodded and changed the subject, "I wonder how far this place is from the ice lake?" ”

Sun Da muttered: "It only takes half a day, you can rest early in the evening, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will definitely arrive before noon." He got up and went back to his tent to rest, when a slight whistling sound sounded in the air, alerting him.

Zhang Yunfan's divine sense was extremely powerful, extremely sensitive to the movements around him, and he also felt something strange, Dan Qiusheng and Duanmu Xianyue also raised their heads suddenly, but the guards next to them were still unconscious, and they were staring at each other in place.

"Something seems to have passed over our heads." Dan Qiusheng stared at the empty space for a long time, muttering to himself.

The tiredness on Sun Da's face dissipated, and he waved to the guards not far away, and everyone ran together, "There was something flying through the air just now, you should be vigilant, check the surrounding situation, if it is something passing by, it will be fine, but if the person who comes is not good, let me find him out." ”

The faces of the guards changed, and they began to get busy with their work, lighting up their torches to look around, and for a while the firelight in the camp shook back and forth, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Taking advantage of Sun Da's explanation of the task just now, Zhang Yunfan released his divine sense and began to explore the situation in the air, but unfortunately he found nothing, so he transferred his divine sense to the ground and searched around inch by inch......

"There was movement just now, but it seems to have flown away." Zhang Yunfan briefly expressed his personal opinion.

Sun Da turned around and advised, "No matter what the other party's intentions are, since something has happened, it should arouse our vigilance, and you should pay attention to safety when you sleep at night!" With that, he walked towards the tent, apparently to report on what had just happened.

Because of what had just happened, everyone had no intention of staying outside, and they all went back to their tents.

The cold in the desert at night hit people, even through a layer of tent canvas Zhang Yunfan could still feel the raging cold, but he didn't care about this, just Panxi sat in place, immersed in the sea of consciousness, and constantly manipulated his divine sense to enter the soul forging lotus to refine.

Compared with before, Zhang Yunfan's tenacity of divine consciousness has become more tenacious, and he can persist in the soul refining lotus for about half a pillar of incense, so for each half pillar of incense, he will extract his divine sense, rest for a while, and comprehend the strength of the old man of Baicao, and then continue to cultivate, and so on until midnight.

After this night of cultivation, Zhang Yunfan's divine consciousness has increased significantly, but it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning, but even so, the growth rate of divine consciousness is still several times faster than that of ordinary monks, and according to this trend, it will not be long before Zhang Yunfan's divine consciousness can be powerful to a very terrifying height.

In order to test how far the divine consciousness can be spread now, Zhang Yunfan released the divine consciousness, the divine consciousness centered on the tent, spreading around, when the divine consciousness spread to a tent, Zhang Yunfan was surprised, there was a black shadow outside the tent that was constantly wriggling, exuding wisps of yin and evil aura, the divine consciousness touched it, and immediately detonated the evil qi in the black shadow, and an astonishing yin evil rushed up, and the camp was full of turmoil.
