Chapter 272: Kunlun Sect
After the caravan passed, the four Kunlun Mountain cultivators were completely relaxed.
Today, there will be no businessmen who will take this road again, and they can also call it a day and return to the mountains to make a difference.
In fact, the merchants who go to the Western Regions generally move very regularly, and most of them travel back and forth between the two places in spring and autumn, not to mention anything else, mainly because the climate is more suitable and there are fewer extreme weather, which virtually reduces the cost of travel.
Whether this road is called the golden road or the Silk Road, it is far from being as comfortable as imagined.
Death of cold in winter and heat in summer is undoubtedly the best interpretation of the climate here.
The vast and sparsely populated area also led to very few inns to rest on the way, often the distance between the two towns or even just the post station was extremely long, and some of the two places even needed to be non-stop to arrive on the same day, otherwise they had to sleep in the wilderness.
And here, sleeping in the wilderness is never a good idea, not to mention snakes, insects, rats and ants, bad weather can torture people to death, and if you happen to catch up with the bandits who come out on the hunt, it will be even worse.
Therefore, even if they don't have any strength to support and just want to rely on themselves to do business in the Western Regions, they often wait for the troops of the large chamber of commerce to assemble, even if they are a few days away, they don't matter, they can rub it, of course, they will still pay a part of the protection fee worthy of the name, but this protection fee is much more affordable than spending money to hire bodyguards.
The big chamber of commerce never cares about these things, and even welcomes the other party to join generously, after all, one more person is more strength, not to mention that if the two sides get along well, there will be no chance to do business together, which is a good thing.
It was in this environment that the Silk Road was gradually established to its present size.
It is precisely for this reason that there will never be more than one caravan passing by this road in a day.
One of the men patted the silver ticket in his arms and said a few words to his companion, and all three of them nodded, looking like they were ready to leave for Kunlun Mountain.
Qi Zhen, who was on the back of the mountain bag not far away, carefully used his spiritual power to investigate the situation here, anyway, he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, his and Li Qiang's task was to see if they could find any new clues through these Kunlun Mountain cultivators, since he said to Meng Ran that he would return within a day, then he would definitely return within a day, and Qi Zhen didn't want to bother with anything about what spirit was attached to him.
As a result, he said that he didn't want to be nosy, but he found the door by himself.
Because he didn't know the depth of the other party's strength, Qi Zhen didn't dare to show his head rashly, for fear of being discovered by the other party, even if he knew in his heart that the other party should not be a powerful master, but he was still worried about whether the other party had any secret methods of exploration.
Qi Zhengang glanced at Li Qiang, signaling that the other party was moving, and they could follow, but his body suddenly stiffened, and his face was full of incredulity.
The four men fought.
It's really lively.
I don't know who made the move first, Qi Zhen only felt a violent fluctuation in the spiritual power over there, which probably lasted for nearly a stick of incense before it slowly stopped, and in the end, only one of the women remained. This woman was the one who had just spoken to Meng Ran, she leaned down, first confirmed that the two men were completely dead, put the things they were carrying and the money they had just received into her arms, and then helped the other woman up with a sad face, and probed the other party's situation, but tears slid down her cheeks, and it seemed that she was hopeless.
Immediately after, the woman stood up, and walked into the vast desert without looking back, the general direction was similar to the caravan, but the route was different, it seemed to be in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains, but I didn't know which mountain she was going to.
Qi Zhen's voice sounded in Li Qiang's heart: "I feel that the two women should be companions, but I don't know why I want to shoot at the two men, it seems to be a black and black road, but does the Western Regions also pay attention to this?" ”
Li Qiang shook his head, saying that he didn't know much either.
"Captain, do you want to follow?" Qi Zhen asked.
Li Qiang snorted at him and signaled that you had the final say.
Qi Zhen thought for a while and said, "That's it, anyway, whether they are in the nest or black, it doesn't matter if it's black or black, it doesn't have much to do with us, let's just follow it, if you find something attractive, just take care of it, if there is nothing strange, let's withdraw." ”
Li Qiang nodded.
There are not many small hills in this Gobi Desert where the two of them are, and on the whole, it is still an endless next door, but Qi Zhen is not afraid of losing it.
In order not to let the other party find out their whereabouts, the two still stepped on their swords, found the woman's trace in the air, and fell far behind.
Only three untreated bodies were left in place, waiting for a celestial burial.
It seems that the woman was also injured a lot by the battle just now, and there was something wrong with the way she walked, but her speed was extremely fast, and she didn't know what spell she used.
But no matter how fast she was, there was no hope of getting rid of the two in mid-air, and the two of them were still guessing what the woman's origin was while flying.
Whether it is being killed if you can't do it, or taking the initiative to covet money, it shows a naked truth, this Kunlun Mountain does not seem to be such a simple place to practice as imagined.
At least these people are nominally the same family, and they can kill without hesitation for the money given by Hu Jinqiu, and they don't even talk much nonsense, they can only say that either because this is indeed a place where the weak and the strong have feelings, or because the money given by Hu Jinqiu is really enough to lure the two sides to kill each other.
If Qi Zhen had known to Meng Ran, then he would have known that this happened because of the latter.
I don't know what Kunlun Mountain is going to do when he suddenly collects so much money from the caravans in the past, anyway, no matter what he wants to do, it seems to be a very expensive thing.
This point Kunlun Mountain is really completely different from those immortal cultivators in the Central Plains, this difference sometimes makes people feel that these cultivators are not like people who are dedicated to cultivating the Dao, and the copper smell on their bodies is too heavy, except for the difference in strength, there is not much difference between them and those ordinary people.
Of course, this is still inseparable from the natural environment here, there are few people in the Western Regions, few resources, little money, except for more sand, there is little everything, the immortal masters of cultivation on the mountain always need to eat, drink and Lasa, especially this kind of strength is uneven, the vast majority of cultivators can not reach the level of Bigu at all, so this person eats horses and chews, which has become the first problem that cultivators have to face.
The Central Plains is different, as long as the immortal master is cultivating in the treasure land of feng shui, there will always be no shortage of offerings from people under the mountain, take Shushan as an example, every year just the gold and silver flowing into Dajianping is an astronomical amount, what do three generations of disciples do after training? What are the main tasks of the second generation of disciples? Isn't it just to save the people from fire and water, help the masses kill demons, get rid of demons or something, carefully speaking, the disciples of Shushan can also be regarded as relying on their ability to eat, as for the specific amount of gold and silver, I am afraid that only Elder Xuanzang can say clearly.
Whether it is the woman who wants to swallow the money alone, or the two men who want to eat it all, is actually very easy to judge, just looking at the direction of the woman's travel, Qi Zhen can judge that it is not far from ten.
The corpse was left in place, and he swaggered towards Kunlun Mountain, if it weren't for his heart, he wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing at all, and he would have run away a long time ago.
It seems that the two men had evil intentions, in order to kill people and go away to the end of the world, but they didn't expect to be killed on the spot by two women from the same door.
The speed of the three people was extremely fast, and it took a short time to reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and the woman climbed the steps and began to climb the mountain.
Qi Zhen and Li Qiang were much simpler, far away on the side of Kunlun Mountain, stepping on the flying sword under their feet, like taking an elevator, following to the top little by little.
Finally, at the height of the mountain road, Qi Zhen saw a fairly exquisite archway, on which were written four large characters with great pen power - Kunlun Holy Realm.
Further up from this archway, there are several towering peaks, which hide the scene inside the mountain road.
Qi Zhen and Li Qiang glanced at each other, nodded, stepped on the flying sword and flew upward, crossed the top of the mountain, and saw the whole picture of the Kunlun faction that had been lost for a long time.
A vast platform between the peaks, and buildings looming between the peaks.
This platform is very large, although it is not as good as the big sword ping of Shushan, it is not far away, just in terms of momentum, Shushan is more like a chic and sharp sword king, and the Kunlun faction is more like a fairy mountain scenery of a master outside the world.
And it should be strongly influenced by the architectural style of the Central Plains, most of the buildings here are square, if you don't know, you think you have come to a certain Central Plains sect.
For example, the buildings and houses between the peaks are quite a bit of the residence of the elders of the Shushan generation, and I don't know who learned whom, or most of the immortal cultivation sects in the world are like this.
The two of them naturally didn't come to enjoy the scenery, but they really didn't dare to get too close, the strength of the four people just now was weak, but it didn't mean that the Kunlun faction didn't have masters, or that sentence, if you can be low-key, you can be low-key, quietly enter the village, and don't shoot.
The main hall of Kunlun Mountain is easy to find, because it is a decent temple, Qi Zhen and Li Qiang watched the woman go in and out, but when they came out, their eyes were a lot red, and they thought they had cried.
"Are we waiting?" Li Qiang suddenly spoke, but Qi Zhen was startled.
Again, it's been a long time since the captain has spoken.
"Look again." Qi Zhen said.
He didn't mean anything else, he just didn't want to give up halfway, but whether it was a result or not, they had to rush back to the caravan within a day.
