Chapter 250: The road is uneven, and I sweep
After dinner was done, the caravan principal invited Xu Changqing to dine together, and Xu Changqing did not refuse.
Merchants who travel north and south may know more information.
The dough cake is wrapped in sesame seeds and added with a little cumin, and the taste is similar to the baked cake in the capital of the Celestial Empire, which is a plus.
The sausage is fat but not greasy, and it is accompanied by good lean meat, which reminds him of Harbin red sausage, plus points.
The wine is light but fragrant with rice, with a hint of sweetness, which is similar to the rice wine in Jiangnan, which is also a plus.
Therefore, although the food is very ordinary, Xu Changqing is very satisfied, as for the vegetable salad, roll! It's okay to feed Xiang suddenly, the authentic Tianchao cold salad and cold side dishes, and throw this kind of thing ten streets.
In general, this dinner was quite pleasant, and Xu Changqing was happy, so he naturally had a reward.
"Na, this Fuwa is given to you, and it can carry the next fatal injury for you, no matter what kind of injury it is. It can only be used for yourself. ”
In the envious eyes of everyone, the principal received the gift with great gratitude. In fact, for an old Jianghu like him, the last sentence Xu Changqing said is important, otherwise with such a treasure, it would not be blessed but restless.
From the caravan principal, Xu Changqing learned that the owner of the Tower of Babel was called Ji Qianqiu.
This name obviously hit his poison point again, and he said in his heart: A certain father didn't know what disease he had back then, so he gave his baby such a bombing name.
This Ji Qianqiu is like eating the crops of Jin Kela, the development is not ordinarily good, he has done great deeds at a young age, fighting tigers in the North Mountain, slaying dragons in the South China Sea, jumping off cliffs to get cheats, falling on his heels to get heavy treasures, rocket-like upgrades, and has become a legend in the north at the age of 23.
According to Xu Changqing's algorithm, the legend is equivalent to the strong man of the Yuan infant class.
Therefore, Xu Changqing's 23-year-old entry into the Tao is not a few streets away from this Ji Qianqiu, but a few cities away.
The king hurried to send the title over, hoping that this could take care of the villagers in one or two townspeople.
But this one has never suffered a setback, his eyes are above the top, and his stinky fart flies, and he is not in the trap at all.
The king's hot face is attached to the cold buttocks, and he still has a good attitude, there is no way, one of his main jobs is to sell his face, and he has to hold back his anger in his heart, and he has to show the demeanor of a king, especially against such a person who can't be provoked.
So if people don't come, the title is still sealed, and the Duke of Northland, it sounds like the entire Northland has been given to him, but in fact he is a court nobleman, with no salary, no position, and some annuities are paid at the end of each year.
So, just by relying on this head, there were many people rushing to gather in the past, Ji Qianqiu did nothing, and he actually had a territory, the Changchun Valley in the rugged mountains, which was the territory of the Duke of the Northland.
Thirteen years ago, the duke began to die, perhaps because he felt that life was as lonely as snow, so he studied forbidden arts, probably wanting to play mahjong with the existence of a different time and space.
This is already very anti-world and ******, but for ordinary people, it does not affect firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the feeling is not real, and the king is afraid of its power, so he never made a move, waiting for this self to play himself to death.
I don't know that since five years ago, this thing has intensified, and it has done some angry things, and Changchun Valley has become a valley of death.
The king was forced by public opinion to cut his title, but he was afraid of his strength against the sky, and did not dare to offend Tai to death, so he did not cut it completely, and degraded him as a exile, which means an exiled prince.
Since then, Liuhou has been obsessed with research, like a deep technology nerd, except for making the crusade team of demon slaying and demon evaporation again and again, he has never done anything evil.
There are many professionals who speculate that Liuhou's research has reached a critical stage, and he doesn't care about evil.
So in the past two years, Liuhou has not been a hot topic in the kingdom. Recently, the hottest topic is to negotiate peace with the foreigners from the desert in the northwest, and it is said that they want to send the princess to make peace.
Xu Changqing doesn't like to hear this, Jiangshan Sheji saved it by sending her daughter, and it was a shame.
It just so happened that he didn't listen, and the wolf came.
Wolves, come and go.
I came because I killed a large number of fishmen, and the smell of blood was extremely strong during the corpse refining process.
Walk because after approaching, smell the breath of the dragon, the dragon stands at the top of the food chain, and the wolf with a keen sense of smell and wild instinct will flee when he sees it.
But between this back and forth, dozens of wolves were still left behind, and Xu Changqing was relatively short of fur here, and the result was that the wolves were unlucky.
Of course, they weren't as unlucky as the kobolds who killed later.
Although the kobold is ugly, looking like a rat and matching a dog's head, he has a hint of dragon blood and uses the language of dragons.
The dragon's breath had a relatively limited effect on them, and the smell of blood spurred them all to go out to the river for a big meal.
As a result, they became a feast, and these filthy and chaotic little things became captives, and there were thousands of them. Just to deter them, Xu Changqing killed hundreds in one go, it doesn't matter, these things can be born and raised like fish people, and if they don't see them for a few months, they will be a bunch again.
Kobolds don't even know how to refine corpses, they are too weak, compared to them, they can be called combat experts, and they are amphibious, in addition to some advantages in the labyrinthine cave system, that is, they can ambush rookie adventurers or hunters by sneak attacks, or lost villagers.
However, they are good miners, and they have a unique profession, geodiviner, and they have a very good set of prospecting, Xu Changqing is ready to stock these monsters in the way of exchanging grain for ore.
"Get to work!"
The whip crackled, acting as an overseer, and it was the jackal who whipped the kobold.
The next morning, the riverside was just that.
The Jackals, a ruffian-like creature who bullies the weak and fears the hard, can become an excellent slave foreman as long as they have a golden thigh, and all kinds of miserable exploitation and oppression, not only for the sake of intercourse, but also to satisfy their own twisted desires, for the Jackal, torture other creatures is a pleasure.
Due to the large number of coolies, the pace of the ants moving the mountains quickly completed the packing work, and they also completed the construction of more than a dozen large carts overnight. There are precision accessories such as bearings on the side of the caravan, and Xu Changqing sold them, so that the carrying capacity and action of the team can be improved.
Before leaving, with the power of the morning light, Xu Changqing sprinkled tree seeds in the felled riverside woodland, and then used the power of the immortal path to give birth.
The five elements of yin and yang are balanced and operated, and he naturally will not just take and not know how to give.
The art of luxuriant growth, the golden and green light flows through the open space full of tree stumps, and between breaths, new plants break through the ground, rise from the ground, and scatter their branches and leaves, and thrive.
Druids can also do this, but most of them are not as strong as Xu Changqing.
Because the druids did not have as much energy as he did, and because the druids sowed more and less generated, they believed that artificial forests were imperfect and that natural generation was the right way.
Indeed, in the origin earth, the single tree species, lack of diversity, and weak ability to resist natural disasters have always been the shortcomings of planted forests.
But this problem is solvable with technology.
The operation of the five elements of the Immortal Dao is one of the solutions.
It is to provide power directly from the root, so that the casting area joins the operation of the entire law of heaven and earth, and the effect of spawning is like accelerating the natural growth.
If Xu Changqing's spell is powerful, but at least it is still within the comprehension of the caravan people, then the next step is to turn the newly built bridge into wood and stone is a real shock.
They had heard of turning mud into stone, and knew that this spell was a manipulation of the same element. But the difference between wood and stone is obviously a bit big.
In fact, it is not that the wood is turned into stone, but that a part of the energy is extracted, and the energy is filled with it, and it crystallizes with the wood, and its quality and appearance are just like stone.
People don't know this, so they feel that Xu Changqing has broken the routine again and again, and is really a god-like existence walking in the world.
Xu Changqing reluctantly accepted this honorific title, he has now imprisoned part of the consciousness of the god of the One, and in the face of the rich and extensive technology, the god is not very remarkable.
In the dozen or so hot water pits where the white air rises, jackals and kobolds are carrying out bathing rituals, which to put it bluntly are rolling in hot water a few times like shabu-shabu in a pot, and then climbing up.
Xu Changqing didn't like the smell of their peak pumping ten miles, and he was also very uninterested in infectious diseases and lice that were good at spreading infectious diseases, so these dirty little things were in trouble, and they would be asked to come like this every three days in the future. Those who are not well groomed have no food.
After washing, the procession winds along the main road, and soon the gnolls and kobolds begin to slip away, but none of them escape, and every time they think they have finished their flight, they are only to die.
Actually, this kind of thing has been going on since last night.
The creatures of the chaotic camp are like this, especially those with less high IQs, and the typical memorization of eating and not remembering, killing one hundred is effective, but it will not last long, they will soon forget how their kind died, and begin to die with a blind optimism to the point of naïve comic mentality.
Xu Changqing is not annoyed, and he will die again and again. It doesn't matter, even if they all die, it's not a pity.
Actually, no, through continuous and repeated punishment, there are still some people who can deeply remember the lessons, and these are the ones that can really survive.
Xu Changqing did not live up to the name of the baron of death, and when he walked all the way to kill all the way, he could hear the wails of the jackals and kobolds dying from time to time, and then the corpses would be carried back and thrown into the cart.
The skin can be used, and the meat will be made into jerky. Unless there is an extreme shortage of food, kobolds and gnolls will not eat their own kind.
But Xu Changqing just added some herbs and wood smoked materials when making bacon, so that they could not distinguish the type of meat at all, and they ate very fragrantly.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people in the caravan, Xu Changqing is evil, terrifying, and extremely cruel, and some people say that he can do this to these secondary intelligent creatures, and he can also do this to humans, imagine that scene, and the devil will come to the world like this.
There are those who are disgusted, there are supporters, and some people believe that Xu Changqing is the master who really finds the effective solution to these chaotic and evil secondary intelligent beings.
They also pointed out that it is better to say better than to do well, although Xu Changqing's methods are cruel and cruel, but what he does is all beneficial to mankind.
He built bridges, planted trees, got rid of fishmen and kobolds that seriously affected the safety of trade routes, killed dozens of timberwolves, and detained Calis, the red dragon who had been in trouble for many years.
Xu Changqing doesn't care about this kind of discussion, too much crossing makes him more and more pessimistic about good and evil, good and evil, how about the years, what about good, and what about evil? For a while, the eternity is gone, and the immortals don't talk about this.
The wheels are rolling, the road is non-stop, the population of this era is limited, wild places can be seen everywhere, regardless of the nasty, even terrible mosquitoes, the natural scenery is first-class, but there is really no guarantee of security.
Before noon, the town of Luling arrived.
Xu Changqing knew from the caravan principal last night that this road had been a famous dangerous road since many years ago. And on roads like this, human town arrangements are very particular.
Based on the shortest time of day in a year, the convoy is guaranteed to rest for one hour at noon, and can go from here to another before dark.
Naturally, it is designed to be safe.
It was only later that some of the transfer stations were abandoned, and the situation became worse.
In addition, in towns like Luling, there are night watchmen who light up the road at dusk, which usually stretches for 5-7 kilometers. There are also patrol roads during the day.
The caravan was waiting for the patrol of Luling yesterday to find that the river bridge had been destroyed, and then someone came to solve the problem with the caravan.
A gang like a caravan, which has been running between barren mountains and mountains for many years, will not be **** at every turn, after all, as long as there is a war, there will be casualties, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and even if you can't avoid it, you will find a way to form a situation where your side has an advantage.
If Xu Changqing hadn't shown up yesterday, they would have spent the night on the side of the road, and then went home.
Of course, it is also an overnight stay, Xu Changqing's kind of open fire is in charge, for fear that there will be little movement, and if it is the caravan itself, then it must not even be a fire, and it must be easier to eat dry food for a night, compared with the night battle of wild monsters and the night of gnawing dry food.
Luling is already a relatively large town, with a population of more than 5,000.
But he was still frightened by the lineup of Xu Changqing and his entourage, even if the caravan owner was familiar with him, he was also a thief-proof, not allowed this, not allowed that.
Xu Changqing had no intention of entering the town, so he gave the merchant a few gems and asked him to help purchase a batch of supplies, and then continued on the road.
Most of these gems were obtained from monsters, and they couldn't be spent at all in the Knife Tooth Camp, even if they were North Wind Fort and Changning City, they couldn't sell for a good price, so he simply stayed and played by himself, and now he used them.
In fact, most people in this era can't afford to consume this kind of high-end gemstones, and they generally pay taxes to the lord on behalf of the region, or the lord uses it when hiring mages.
The caravan entered the town, Xu Changqing went north, the towering rugged mountains were far away, and he would definitely be able to reach the Tower of Babel tomorrow, but in fact, the situation was difficult to say, the road to Death Valley had not been opened for many years, and it was difficult to say what was waiting for him in front of him, the only thing that could be determined was that there was a ghost at the next stop.
