Chapter 242: The sword rises, and the sword falls

In the small town inn, the storyteller talked for two hours, which can be said to be dry and dizzy, plus his decades of lifelong knowledge to describe the simple and boring things very Wen Zou Zou, this talk is about the sun sets, the yellow finch returns to the mountains and forests.

Chen Changxiao looked at the gray outside the window, and the storyteller didn't talk much, but it was also very useful.

This area is located in the center of the Celestial Empire, and the terrain is mostly mountainous, which is somewhat similar to the southern region, except that the south is full of mountains, and here are mountains, one after another, and from here into the city is to walk around the foot of the mountain.

The center of the Celestial Empire, this state is called Suzhou, this town is located on the border of Hecheng on the border of Suzhou, which is also a somewhat isolated place from the world.

From here all the way to the northwest, you have to pass through here and five of the other three states and seven northwestern states, and there are all such mountainous terrain along the way, which makes Chen Changxiao a little happy.

In addition, the storyteller along the way also roughly said that there are few cultivators in the central region of the Celestial Empire, but the stronger the cultivators in the northwest, the stronger they are, that is, the state generals in the states have Xuanzun realm cultivation, after all, it is the border between the underworld and the beast race, and the imperial court naturally has to send masters to garrison there.

And now that there is a war on the border again, presumably there will be more super strong people like that, the border of the Celestial Empire is in turmoil, and the people over there are eager to leave there overnight, so the city over there is now heavily guarded, and it is difficult for the people inside to get out, but it is even more difficult for the people outside to get in.

Hearing this, Chen Changxiao's mood of having some heavenly help to me immediately disappeared.

"But there's one more thing the guest should know. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"This matter is not seen by the old man in the world, but because of that person, I am afraid that from here all the way to the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, the strong will gather. ”

Hearing that person, Chen Changxiao guessed that it was himself without thinking about it.

"That person's name is Chen Changxiao, now everyone in the world knows, at this moment the city is full of portraits of him, it is said that this person is the person who was personally ordered to be killed by the Holy Emperor of the Holy Heaven today, as for the reason, I think no one knows except the court himself, so the old man also doesn't know, so it makes the guest officer laugh. ”

After the storyteller finished speaking, Chen Changxiao stopped and said that it was okay.

The master and apprentice saw that the moon had risen outside the window, and the guests had come and gone many times since the afternoon, and they were about to leave after knowing what they wanted to know.

The tea was cold, the peanuts were rancid, the two got up, and the three people in the store did not stay, but walked slowly, before leaving, Chen Changxiao put two more gold coins on the table, and the shopkeeper saw that he wanted to stop the two when he went out, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"That young man is the fugitive pursued by the imperial court, Chen Changxiao. ”

Seeing that no one was returning empty-handed, the storyteller sat down lightly and said a fact that neither the shopkeeper nor Xiao Er knew.

"How did the eldest brother know?" the shopkeeper was a little surprised, and then closed the door and window and asked.

The storyteller only smiled faintly, stroked his beard and said: "Those two people suddenly appeared in our wine shop at this juncture, and asked about various situations in the northwest land. ”

The shopkeeper nodded recalled, feeling that it made sense, and looked at the movement around him and said, "Then should we report to the government tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the storyteller shook his head and said, "No, you and I don't know whether he is evil or good, so we expose others indiscriminately.

The Celestial Empire closed its territory, recruited troops and horses, and the world was in chaos, and it was our people who were injured in the end, maybe that Chen Changxiao was the one who rebelled against the Celestial Empire in this war with no end in sight, if he was a wicked person, why did he leave this kind of money and wait for me to talk about it slowly, instead of directly lifting a sword on your neck to force a confession, and then killing it with a sword to get rid of the evil? Therefore, this official doesn't have to report it, or, at this time, the two of them are listening together, and when you and I make up our minds to do official things to him, we will come out and kill him directly, hehe. ”

Anyway, Mr. Storyteller smiled brightly, what he said was true, it doesn't matter whether it is Chen Changxiao, they are ordinary people, they follow the world with their hearts, and they can do the great benevolence and righteousness between heaven and earth, and if they can't do it, they can't say that they are unkind and unjust, people live in the world, just do what they should do, some things don't have to be forced, and they don't have to be forced, in short, living a life worthy of life is the best.

The shopkeeper held the gold coin, let out a long breath and nodded, agreeing with the eldest brother's statement, his eyes were full of complexity.

At this moment, the white moonlight could not reach a place outside the inn, Chen Changxiao and Gu Ye were lurking in the dark corner listening to the conversation between the two, if they really had any bad ideas, Chen Changxiao didn't mind killing two or three ordinary people who were powerless.

But obviously there is no need now, half a sound, the two of them gradually retreated backwards, with a gust of wind and grass, the two of them really disappeared inside and outside the town, the road ahead is still very long, and there is not much time left for Chen Changxiao, Di Yunlan once again took the order of the Holy Heavenly Emperor to the northwest road, and Liu Chen, standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain outside the head of Kunlun City, the main city of Queensland, the first state in the northwest, waited for Chen Changxi, because here, it is the highest altitude in the northwest, and if he wants to go to the vertical and horizontal mountains, Kunlun Mountain is a high mountain that he has to cross.

......

At dawn the next day, Chen Changxiao didn't sleep all night, and rushed all night with Gu Ye, with Chen Changxiao's current speed, one night time is enough to cross a thousand miles away, so this walk, plus a whole day trip during the day, he and Gu Ye passed through the central four states together, and came to the first state outside the northwest, Lanzhou.

Chen Changxiao thought that his master's cultivation would not be able to keep up when he was fully operating his dantian spiritual power to expand the Seven Shadow Steps, but when he turned around and wanted to wait for him, he found that he had not fallen at all and had been following closely behind him, which made Chen Changxiao stunned.

After seeing Chen Changxiao's somewhat strange gaze, Gu Ye glanced at him angrily and said, "What, do you think you can run fast if you cultivate high?"

Chen Changxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, since it was naturally best to be able to move forward at the same time, Chen Changxiao would not think about anything.

But it wasn't until later that Chen Changxiao's cultivation was already very high, and the master's speed could still remain the same as his own under the condition that his cultivation remained unchanged, which made him have to subconsciously ask, Gu Ye just smiled and said mysteriously: "Don't forget that the spirit of the master is one with your sword talisman, and my cultivation is only used for fighting, if you want to talk about the speed, I am as fast as you are, hehe." ”

For this reason, Chen Changxiao also smiled bitterly.

......

The two of them were still dressed the day before yesterday, with wide clothes and hats, long hair on their backs, and the flow of people in the city was bustling, and the two of them were still standing in the mountains and forests outside the city, except for the outer state districts facing the center, he found that the guards at this moment were simply much more exaggerated than what he had seen before.

Whether it is outside the city wall or inside the city wall, there are all rows of soldiers standing in rows, they are neat and orderly, the team has no sense of chaos, iron armor and spears, yellow skin and uprightness, strong and broad, and the spirit is doubled, at first glance, it is a good man in the northwest.

No wonder this west and north land is a frontier defense land, the demon beasts dare not come out, the tribe does not dare to go crazy, and the random army here seems to be much stronger than the proud silver spear and iron cavalry in Sampan.

Those beings in the Holy Sect Realm, the Xuanzun Realm, and even the Emperor Infant Realm stood in front of such an army, and they had to weigh whether they could really be unstoppable.

Chen Changxiao crossed a mountain bag, walked through a bush, and came out from behind a large tree.

"Who!"

Chen Changxiao's messy wear can be regarded as inexplicably wearing to a bad place, Chen Changxiao and Gu Ye in the deep mountains and old forests didn't know if there was anyone in front of them, so they were negligent.

Chen Changxiao turned around and looked up in astonishment, and in his eyes there were ten guards dressed in soldier uniforms holding spears and seemingly patrolling the mountains.

The soldier closest to Chen Changxiao pointed his spear at Chen Changxiao, and the latter could not see his face clearly because the former had his hat and his head lowered.

The soldier pretended to snort, and then stepped forward, the tip of the spear was three inches away from the front of Chen Changxiao's face, and the huge hat was picked up in the air and split into two, and an extremely handsome and delicate face appeared in front of ten people.

As a state officer in the northwest border region, he had received an order from his superiors a few days ago, and in this area, there would be a fugitive wanted by the Holy Heavenly Emperor himself who passed through here, so the portrait of the young man posted on each city gate had been seen countless times and deeply rooted in their minds, and at this moment, the face of the young man who appeared in front of them overlapped with the portrait in their minds without any sense of disobedience.

"Chen Changxiao!"

The person who picked off Chen Changxiao's hat exclaimed in surprise, his eyes were full of shock and fear for a moment, and the nine soldiers behind him also recognized him completely.

However, at this moment, the corners of Chen Changxiao's mouth raised slightly, this smile, the smile was very deep, so deep that people saw it as if they had stepped into a bottomless abyss, and it was as if time stopped with his smile at this moment.

The soldiers' pupils shrank sharply, and they wanted to speak, but an invisible pressure suddenly fell from the sky, and they couldn't speak, and they couldn't move.

I saw that the body of the person in the portrait in front of me was twisted for a while, and then a wind passed through my ears, with a piercing roar and a sharp sound, it was the sword wind!

Hiss

The sound of ten long swords cutting through the air was in their ears for a moment, and they felt a chill in their throats, and they heard a faint laugh when their last nerves were still there.

"Hehe, I can't beat the Xuanzun Realm, but where did there be so many Xuanzun Realms in the deep mountains and old forests? So, I have to grieve you, go, on the Huangquan Road, remember to settle down a little. ”

The sword rose and fell, and before the ten people could see the man's movements clearly, and before they knew the strength of the man, they were already dead.
