Chapter 25: Wantong City
After leaving the Qiu family, the four of them walked all the way to the south of Jinglan City, and when they were about ten miles away from the valley of the teleportation array, the four of them found that there were more and more people going to the teleportation array, and at first on the road, the four of them sparsely saw a few cultivators hurriedly walking towards the south, and some of the big families were escorted by a convoy.
Whenever a few people saw the arrogant convoy, Yi Wushuang would always tease Qiu Shuzhi for a few words, saying that you, the son of the first wealthy family in Jinglan City, are not as good as the children of these big families.
Qiu Shuzhi was just begging for mercy, during which Su Xu also asked Qiu Shuzhi if these people were all from Jinglan City, and Qiu Shuzhi replied, some yes and some not.
"Yo, isn't this our Grand Young Master Jinglan Chengqiu! Where are you going? The family has sent three people to escort you! Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"Also, your Qiu family has a reputation, and no one must dare to rob and kill halfway, so small families like us, you have to be careful when you go out, maybe you will die halfway when you go. ”
Su Xu raised his eyes and saw that when a convoy of trains drove to the four of them, a person leaned out of the window of one of the cars and said to Qiu Shuzhi in a strange tone of yin and yang.
"Sun Linhai, you'd better control your mouth, I think you know the truth that trouble comes from your mouth. ”
"Yo, I'm still angry, I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand the wind and rain outside with the young master's body, if you have something to do, your Qiu family will not have to worry to death, hahahaha, you say yes, Young Master Qiu!"
As soon as Su Xu wanted to say something, Yi Wushuang had already stopped beside him, and made a look to signal not to speak.
At this time, Su Xu and the three of them stood behind Qiu Shuzhi with a tacit understanding, as if they were really the servants of the Qiu family.
After Sun Linhai finished speaking, he glanced contemptuously at the few people behind Qiu Shuzhi, his face full of disdain.
"If Young Master Qiu doesn't want us to escort you, then I'll go first, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to Heavenly Sword Mountain Villa to participate in the trial this time, and I really don't have time to escort you, hahahahaha. ”
The windows and doors were lowered, and the group of cars and horses left.
Su Xu rubbed his nose and looked into the distance and asked:
"Who is this man?"
"The young master of the Sun family in Jinglan City, their family and our family have always had conflicts, but they all pretend to be kind on the surface, I suspect that the three friends of Wushan last time were the people found by the Sun family. ”
Qiu Shuzhi explained.
"He said he was going to the trial, and he didn't know if he would meet it then. ”
Yi Wushuang also said on the side.
Su Xu and Bai Ziyu also looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak, they did not know the family friction between Sun Linhai and Qiu Shuzhi, and they did not want to intervene, if they met in the land of trials at that time, as long as the other party did not trouble them, there was no need for them to get along with Sun Linhai.
After a brief interlude, the group continued towards the valley.
"Have you heard, this Heavenly Sword Villa trial only selected ten disciples to enter the villa, and the rest can only be eliminated. ”
"Yes, this Heavenly Sword Villa trial is also the first time in three hundred years, and since Master Li disappeared, he has not accepted a single disciple. ”
"According to what you said, this trial is very intense!"
"That's a must, there are so many famous families on our five continents, and the children of the family want to make a splash in this trial, you just see that there are so many monks in Jinglan City in our Dongzhou, you can imagine how many people there will be in the five continents. ”
Su Xu and the others were moving forward, listening to the conversation of passers-by, Su Xu was at a loss in his heart, the purpose of his going to participate in the trial was to enter the villa to practice swordsmanship, and then find a way to make up for the lack in his own sword book.
He didn't guess about the unknown, he knew that he couldn't guess through, it was better to take care of the eyes, he turned his eyes to look at Bai Ziyu beside him, and happened to meet Bai Ziyu's eyes that he also looked at, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Yi Wushuang had a different mind from the three of them, he didn't care about the words of the people around him, he just looked behind him for a long time every time he passed a distance, as if he was waiting for someone, or he was running away from someone.
"Each person has a spirit stone teleportation fee, the teleportation array here can only be teleported to Wantong City in the Southern Wilderness State, and when you arrive at Wantong City, it is not far from the range of Tianjian Villa, you can walk for five days to get there, and the time is very abundant. ”
Su Xu and the four of them walked not far from the teleportation array, and the person in charge of the teleportation array said to everyone.
"Bump"
After a loud bang, the scene was full of dust and smoke, and the person on duty dispersed the smoke and dust with a wave of one hand, and looked at the burly man in front of him with a displeased face.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
The burly man took two steps forward and pulled out the giant axe on the ground and put it on his shoulder, and said angrily.
"In the past, this teleportation array teleported to Wantong City and only charged gold stones, why did you charge spirit stones this time?"
With an impatient face, he replied with a smile.
"In the past, this teleportation array was only opened for the convenience of trade between the two sides, haven't you seen it? For the sake of this trial, the city lord deliberately stopped trade and used it specifically to serve you trial disciples, and it is understandable that we will collect a little spirit stone from your mobile phone, right?"
"Fart, a hundred gold and a spirit stone, you want too much. ”
The burly man scolded.
"This friend, if you think our cost is too high, you can also walk to Nanhuangzhou on foot, so you don't have to spend a gold or two. ”
Dahan's eyes widened after hearing this, and just as he was about to raise the big axe in his right hand, he was held down by a woman behind him.
"Brother duty, don't be surprised, my brother doesn't understand the reason, and it's not strange. ”
said that he wanted to pull the big man and walked backwards.
"When will this teleportation array be opened, big brother?"
Su Xu asked after seeing that the matter was over.
"I just sent off a monk together, so it will take about an hour!"
An hour passed quickly, and at this time, Su Xu and the rest of the hundreds of people stood in the center of the teleportation array, watching as the duty guard took out a few spirit stones and filled them into the grooves of the magic circle, and suddenly the blue light was sheng, and then the blue light wrapped everyone and gradually disappeared on the teleportation platform.
"Did the news come back?"
At this time, outside the teleportation array, Sun Linhai looked at the empty teleportation platform and asked casually.
"Back to the young master, the news has been sent back, and they will leave immediately. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that the young master of the Qiu family, knowing that he was not in harmony with my Sun family, he rashly came to participate in the trial by himself. ”
"Wantong City is the place where your Qiu Shuzhi died. ”
"Young master, I think the Qiu family must have a master hiding in the shadows"
"The people in the shadows have their own people from my Sun family to deal with, we just need to watch Qiu Shuzhi. ”
A feeling of dizziness hit, Su Xu felt a feeling of tightness in his chest, he was still a little uncomfortable riding the teleportation light array for the first time, and turned his head to look at Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu's expression was almost the same as him, only Yi Wushuang had a calm expression.
Su Xu found that Yi Wushuang seemed to be a different person from the moment the teleportation array was activated, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
The light blue light curtain led everyone through the pitch-black teleportation path, most of them chose to enter a state of cultivation, and some people took out food and water from the package they were carrying, and ate while talking.
Vantone City.
Wantong City is the main city of Southern Wilderness State, the traffic here extends in all directions, and any city from Wantong City to Southern Wilderness Prefecture has a teleportation array link, which can be described as a city leading to ten thousand cities.
As soon as Su Xu and his entourage stepped out of the blue light curtain of the teleportation array, they saw a large number of people coming over around the teleportation array, chattering about some local customs, and some of them also rented transportation tools part-time.
Su Xu and his entourage found a small inn that was not particularly conspicuous to live in, and they wandered around Wantong City that day, and there were obviously more monks in the city, either in groups of three or five, or alone, most of them came for this trial in Tianjian Villa.
A few people passed by a few streets, the streets were basically the same, and as they were walking, Qiu Shuzhi suddenly grabbed Su Xu, who was walking in the front, and then several people quickly turned into a tea shop, and looked through the gap in the window, and several men in black were hurriedly walking in the direction they had just now.
"Who?"
Yi Wushuang asked puzzled.
"It may be that the people of Heilong Mountain are a force in our Jinglan City, collecting money to do things for others, and I think they are coming at me. ”
Qiu Shuzhi's voice was calm when he spoke, without the slightest hint of fear.
"Why don't we go back and discuss it first, I think there seems to be a master of the Judan period among them, and we are probably not opponents yet. ”
Bai Ziyu observed a few people and then said.
Everyone in the inn sat in a circle around the table, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"If you don't go out of the city first, their target is just me, I guess it won't be difficult for you, and I'll find a way to contact my family after you leave." ”
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to leave as soon as we leave, and you can still think of a countermeasure, don't worry, I'll go out to explore the way out of the city after dark, and I'll see if there's a way to get out of the city, I guess they've already monitored the places out of the city, just waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net." ”
Su Xu said after listening to Qiu Shuzhi's words.
"I'll go with you, let's take care of the two of us. ”
Yi Wushuang also said.
"Forget it, I can do it myself, you try not to go out, I'll be back as soon as I get acquainted with the situation." ”
In summer, Wantong City is still brightly lit, and crowds of people can be seen everywhere on the streets, and a figure flashes quickly in the dark alleys, and the leaves fall everywhere they pass.
Su Xu had been maintaining this speed for a long time, and he ran from the south gate to the north gate to visit for a while, and found a figure in the dark watching the city gate.
He searched along the city wall to see if there was a way out, and Su Xu's scattered divine vision sensed that there was someone not far ahead, Su Xu immediately stopped advancing, and his body quickly disappeared to the dark side of a big tree, constricting his whole body's breath, standing still like a log, only staring at the figure not far ahead.
