Every once in a while, I saw a body cultivator hurriedly walking from a distance, observing around, as if looking at something, An Xiaoyu quietly followed his family and continued to shop. Xiao An also seemed to feel something different, and looked at An Xiaoyu, but saw that An Xiaoyu just shook his head.

Secretly Ao Yu didn't choose to care about this matter in the end, and with the outbreak of Dongyun's body cultivation, there will be various situations across the country. Whether it is physical cultivation or martial cultivation, people who have been dormant in the shadows will choose to come out of the darkness and fight for a future for their own school.

Among these genres, there are good genres, and of course there are bad genres. The reason why this world is stable is because no matter how it develops, the world will always maintain a strong ability to self-regulate.

The emergence and perfection of the mecha indicates that the self-regulation ability of the imperial society has begun to reach its peak, and in the face of changes in the world of cultivators, the empire can no longer only use the intervention of the internal power of cultivators, but has the ability to self-regulate.

That's why the empire will rest assured that the cultivation of the great world will open, and An Xiaoyu doesn't have to do everything himself. She is just a stepping stone to the great world of cultivation, and the stepping stone is a stepping stone, whether this brick is completely broken after knocking on the door, or the shell is broken and becomes a beautiful jade, it has nothing to do with the world inside the door.

An Xiaoyu is more willing to stand in the position of that kind of controller, watching the new changes in this world. She believed that the empire must have been prepared, after all, the oracle courtyard had already been dispatched, and An Xiaoyu didn't believe that the local garrison and the Lao Shan Shen mecha army had not received any news.

So this time, An Xiaoyu was a leisurely tourist through and through, and after eating at night, she went back to the hotel and slept well, without asking anything or reporting, and the next morning, she went directly to the meeting place of the tour group with her family.

The place where they met was a small square near the volcanic terrain on the edge of Toadshan City, on which several cars were parked, and it was estimated that they were all in other tour groups. The area around Toad Mountain is very large, and many tour groups can choose different routes after entering, so as to avoid overlapping situations

The tour guide of this tour group, An Xiaoyu has already seen it in the information, it is a girl with a little cultivation on her body, she looks like she is in her twenties, full of youth, and she is very enthusiastic, surnamed Liu, the peak of Mingti, everyone calls her Xiao Liu tour guide.

There are also two escort personnel sent by the headquarters of Xiao Liu's tour guide company, to be honest, they are bodyguards, they are all armed with weapons, An Xiaoyu can feel the breath on their bodies, one is self-cultivation, one is martial arts, and the cultivation realm is not too high, in his thirties, a young master and a sacrificial body, there is probably no hope for promotion, so he sold himself to the travel company to make some money.

Of course, An Xiaoyu is not interested in their background and origin, An He's information marks the eight generations of ancestors of these three people, and he almost writes a family tree, and these three people have no problems. The most important thing is the family that came in later, just like An Xiaoyu.

An He said that this family came in because of the relationship in the province, and it was a certain high-ranking official in the province. After the matter of the Dongyun Provincial Capital, An Xiaoyu began to have a clearer understanding of the local administrative institutions, knowing that such a place was different from the emperor.

After all, the imperial capital is still the administrative center of the entire empire, and no matter how big or small, it is the biggest bosses who have the final say. And because these bigwigs occupy the top of the highest interests in the entire empire, no matter what they do, they will take into account the impact on the entire empire, so whether it is a means or a method, it will not be too much.

What's more, there is also the Ministry of Supervision right next to the pillow.

But at the local level, the differentiation of power in each province is more complicated. Whether it is a family, a consortium, a cultivator, an underground gang, a court or a military commission, in the long course of evolution, they have all begun to produce a unique distribution of interest chains in various places.

If you don't know how the whole province works behind it, and rashly provoke someone, it will obviously be very troublesome, just like provoking the consortium in Dongyun, for the sake of face, in the end, An Xiaoyu and the consortium fought to the death, and then left a mess, which is still in chaos.

So when she saw that this family was all self-cultivation, An Xiaoyu didn't show the doubts in her heart, but pretended not to know anything, acting like an ordinary person who came here to travel, and secretly observed each other with this family.

Anhe did not investigate the details of the family, and could only get the most basic information from the tour group. And An Xiaoyu's information about their family, it is estimated that the other party has also investigated, after all, they are all people who cut in the queue, and it is normal for people with identities to beware. But An Xiaoyu estimated that with An He's ability to do things and the empire's degree of secrecy about himself, they didn't get any information, not even their names.

So when he looked at An Xiaoyu, the man named Left Bank couldn't help but look at An Xiaoyu and them twice, but when he heard the accent of their speech, he found that it was actually from the Eastern Wilderness, which felt even more strange. A group of people from the Eastern Wilderness, on the boundary of Tianchi Province, can't even investigate him?

may have the same idea as An Xiaoyu, and the two families stayed away, but the little girl was more interested in Xiao An. It's normal for a little girl at this age to be interested in boys, not to mention that Xiao An doesn't look bad, and she looks cute in a daze.

However, Xiao An has no interest in the little girl, and An Xiaoyu found that Xiao An doesn't seem to be very interested in girls of the same age, and she doesn't know if it's because she has been taken care of by herself, or because of Zhong Huaran.

Thinking of Zhong Huaran, An Xiaoyu wanted to laugh. Yesterday, Xu Hewei sent a message to say that Zhong Huaran, a woman, actually followed Xu Hewei's clues to Jianshan City, and then published it with Xu Heru on the street, and the two had a fight on the street, and now they have been detained for a week.

An Xiaoyu really doesn't know what kind of attitude she should take to face a person like Zhong Huaran, so she is still waiting and seeing.

After Xiao Liu's tour guide introduced himself and the two bodyguards, he quickly sent a booklet to them, and then introduced: "This is our itinerary this time, although we can quickly reach the foot of Toad Mountain by hovercar, but when we come to Toad Mountain, how can we not experience the volcanic rock land hiking!" The volcanic rock terrain of Toad Mountain is unique and rich in minerals, which are rich in ......"

Xiao Liu's tour guide talked a lot about the benefits of hiking through volcanic rock fields, mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and then led the team to set off smoothly. It seems that this Xiao Liu tour guide is an experienced person, no wonder An He would choose such a team.

When they were on the road, Xiao Liu's tour guide was very talkative and told them various legends about Toad Mountain. Within the scope of the volcanic rock field, there are many sinkholes and strange-shaped rock structures, and Xiao Liu's tour guide also introduced them one by one, and everyone listened to them with relish, including An Xiaoyu himself.

The volcanic terrain is complex, and there are often rifts, deep craters and subsidence structures, but this travel route Xiao Liu tour guide has long been familiar with it, and he knows every obstacle on the road well, and takes them around one high-risk area after another, and slowly moves towards Toad Mountain.

The distance from Toadshan City to the foot of Toadshan Mountain is about more than three hundred miles, and although the physical fitness of the citizens of the empire is very passable, it is still unrealistic to want to cross three hundred miles in one day. The tour company's car took them to a place deep in the volcanic rock field before letting them go.

But even so, according to the itinerary arranged by the tour guide, there are still people who can't stick to it. After walking for a long time, the first thing that couldn't be supported was the little boy who was originally in the travel team, the boy's name was Gan Ting, which sounded a bit like a sissy.

The little boy looks very iconic, and looks like a pampered kind, but judging by his parents' attitude, it doesn't look like he is pampered in his own home. It is also written on the information that the parents are very busy, and they are usually busy making money, and the family and children are managed by the elderly.

After eating at noon, Gan Ting couldn't lift his legs, and kept saying that he was so tired and tired, and then Mr. Gan was not happy. There are two other kids in the team who are about your age, and you can't stand it? Isn't this a disgrace to Lao Tzu?

So Mr. Gan said with a cold face: "You can't walk after just walking how many miles?" When I was your age, I went out to find relatives by myself with a big bag on my back, and I suffered a lot, and sometimes I didn't even have to eat, and I didn't say a word of tiredness! ”

Mrs. Gan felt sorry for the child, pushed Mr. Gan and said: "You don't have to say a word, usually the children are in school, how can they have time to participate in exercise, if they are tired, they are tired, and what should they do if they are tired." ”

At this time, the guide Liu came forward and said to Mr. Gan: "Actually, this is normal, the travel itinerary we advertised was three to six days, just because we took into account such a situation." In fact, many adults come with the group, and it is not as long as this little brother insists on it! Usually at this time, if there are many people who feel too tired to work, we will slow down the formation, and if there are fewer people, our escort team also brings portable bicycles. ”

Speaking of which, a report in the back took out a white folding bicycle from the travel bag behind him, put it on the ground and opened it, Xiao Liu's tour guide said with a smile: "It's quite good that my little brother can stick to this point, I want to give him this bicycle, everyone will have no opinion, right?" ”

The people watching the excitement next to him nodded hurriedly and said that they had no opinion. Although there are a few people who also feel very tired, they can't grab things from a child, so they have to suppress the restlessness in their hearts and tell themselves that they can still hold on.

When Gan Ting saw the bicycle, he was still a little scared, but his eyes were obviously excited. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, although Mr. Gan has not usually disciplined Gan Ting, he can see Gan Ting's happiness at a glance, and he taught him again: "Give me a good exercise after I go back this time!" Look at other people, they are about the same age as you, and they don't breathe. ”

At this time, Zuo An couldn't help but smile: "Big brother, don't talk like this, our family is a cultivator, my daughter has been learning to practice with us since she was a child, and she is used to running around, and it is normal for her physical strength to be stronger, and the little brother over there seems to be a native of the Eastern Wilderness, right?" The living conditions in the Eastern Wilderness are not very good, and it is normal to be stronger than ordinary people. ”

"That's right! That's right! Xiao An nodded again and again, looking at Gan Ting's aggrieved appearance, he was also a little unbearable.

Mr. Gan glared at Gan Ting fiercely, and then said, "When I go back, I will find you a practice hall to sign up for study!" ”

Although the practice hall is a body cultivation, which is not the same as the practice that Left Bank said, but Left Bank didn't care, just laughed twice, looked at Mr. Gan and nodded, and there was no more communication. On the contrary, after this incident, the three children couldn't help but look at each other.

An Xiaoyu looked funny, stretched out her hand and pushed Xiao An, and said, "If you want to go, you can go!" ”

Xiao An made a grimace at this time, and then ran to Gan Ting's side, and the two quickly became one, whispering on the side, talking and laughing very happily. Mr. Gan's face also looked much better and returned to normal. The daughter of the left bank looked at Xiao An's side, a little moved, but she didn't know if it was because she was a girl or because she didn't blatantly yearn for it.

An Xiaoyu didn't care, this man called Left Bank was obviously a person with a low level of cultivation, even if he wanted to do something, he might not be able to make waves. The two husbands and wives of the Zuo family seem to be just cultivators who have just broken through to the realm of ancestor worship, and the little girl named Zuo Mei has just started the sacrifice of the body.

It seems that this little girl's cultivation time is almost the same as Xiao An's, and she can't use the power of the law at the beginning of the sacrifice body, so if you really want to start doing it, Xiao An is simply crushing, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

What's more, Xiao An has been deceived by a woman once, and he will definitely be deceived a second time, this little guy is very shrewd!

After a half-hour break for dinner, the tour group moved on. Gan Ting sat on the bicycle, and Xiao An didn't come back, so he walked beside him. So An Xiaoyu's family naturally got closer to the two people of the Gan family, and occasionally chatted for a few days.

Mr. Gan is a businessman, and when he speaks, he is inseparable from economics and finance, but in some respects, he has unique insights. An Xiaoyu's parents and grandfather talked mostly about things in the Eastern Wilderness, and everyone else was also curious about this forbidden land, so they had a good conversation.

But as time went on, some people began to fall into a state of exhaustion, and a few people who were in poor health began to pant and sweat on their heads. Someone suggested: "Xiao Liu, tour guide, why don't we slow down a little?" ”

Xiao Liu's tour guide thought for a while and persuaded: "If we keep moving forward at this speed, we will be able to reach the foot of Toad Mountain before dark, there is a service station dedicated to providing rest services at the foot of Toad Mountain, and the people at the headquarters are also there to prepare everything and wait for us to arrive." But if you slow down now, you won't be able to reach the bottom of the mountain at night, and you'll have to spend the night in a place you didn't expect, and although this place is safe, I've heard that it's not very peaceful lately......"

"Got it! Got it! The man who suggested slowing down immediately thought of something, and said quickly, so that no one in the group ever mentioned the need to rest again.

Gan Ting watched Xiao An walking beside him with a big backpack on his back, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao An, are you tired?" Why don't you come up and I'll go down and walk for a while? ”

An Xiaoan didn't care: "No, no, I'm not tired at all, the eastern wilderness is all sandy, it's much more difficult to walk than the rocky land here, I walk several miles by myself every day to go to school in the big tribe next to me, this distance is trivial to me." ”

When facing outsiders, Xiao An once again gave full play to his talent as an actor, obeyed An Xiaoyu's instructions to hide his cultivation, and attributed everything to his growing up in the Eastern Wilderness. The people outside didn't know much about the people of the Eastern Wilderness, so Gan Ting believed it.

Mr. Gan is a person who suffered hardships when he was young, and after hearing Xiao An's words, he couldn't help but have some appreciation in his eyes, and said: "Suffering more when I was a child is good for the future, no wonder it is said that the compatriots of the Eastern Wilderness have a tenacious character, and it seems that it is not without reason." Xiao An's academic performance is not bad, right? ”

Xiao An's eyes rolled and said vaguely: "It's okay!" Hey! ”

Mr. Gan knew that Xiao An didn't want to say more, but he also heard Xiao An's smugness, so he praised again: "I can be able to work and endure hardships, and I will definitely be able to be admitted to a good university in the future!" ”

"Thank you!" Xiao An bowed solemnly, making everyone laugh.

Xiao An's results are too shocking, if he is the top student in the big exam in the Eastern Wilderness this year, it is inevitable that someone will investigate An Xiaoan's identity, and then he will be able to know who the little girl in white who has never spoken is also, it is inevitable that there will be extraneous branches.

An Xiaoyu watched Xiao An arguing with them, and also smiled slightly.

The night in the north came quickly, at least much faster than in the imperial capital and the Eastern Wilderness. At about five o'clock in the evening, the darkness began to slowly envelop the horizon, the sun disappeared from the horizon, and the distant rocks faded from the smear of the setting sun, and became dark and eerie.

At this time, someone in the team suddenly stepped into the pit and broke his foot, and in the envious eyes of many people, occupied another folding bicycle. Xiao Liu's tour guide shouted encouragement: "Everyone work hard! After another half an hour's walk, we will be able to reach the rest stop! There's fresh ingredients over there! There are also natural hot springs waiting for us! Come on! Come on! ”

The people in the team also seemed to be encouraged and sped up a bit. But suddenly, whether it was An Xiaoyu or Left Bank, or Xiao Liu's tour guide, their eyes suddenly changed.

A black shadow suddenly burst out of the ground!
