Chapter 157: Upheaval (2)
"Then we have to go back to Dongcheng as soon as possible to help Qing Wei get through the difficulties." Sikong Yu said.
"And that's not all. We also have to do good things about the possibility of deterioration. ”
"You mean......" Sikong Yu was a little surprised.
"Not bad. Prevent problems before they happen. After all, Dongcheng does not nominally belong to the land of Daxu, and Dongcheng still has to rely more on itself. ”
"Okay, we'll be able to get to Xicheng tomorrow, and then we'll go back to Dongcheng."
Su Qingchen nodded.
"By the way, don't blame her." Sikong Yu suddenly said without a head.
"Who?"
"Qing Wei, Qing Wei sometimes does habitually focus on the overall situation, but her nature is not bad."
Su Qingchen smiled dumbly. He shook his head and said, "I don't blame her. I know the pressure in her heart, it is not easy for her to carry the entire Dongcheng alone. Well? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Sikong Yu smiled: "I didn't expect you to think so much about her, I thought you were full of resentment." ”
Su Qingchen was almost happy. What grievances can he have, whether it is to join the Desperate Hall or come to Xicheng, or to rescue Sixteen, he is willing. In order to earn points and open treasure chests, you can be regarded as fighting.
"How can it be, it's not easy for her to be a woman."
"yes. After all, men are the masters of this world, and Qing Wei masters the Xuanyan Gate as a woman, which is indeed easy to attract criticism. She finally established her prestige in the Xuanyan Sect. ”
"Okay, let's get ready to rest, let's leave early tomorrow morning and leave for Xicheng."
Su Qingchen is experienced in living in the same room with a woman, he directly spread a quilt on the ground, and directly meditated cross-legged and began to cultivate, his goal is to be promoted to the true realm within half a year.
Now it is a troubled time, and there are too many contradictions between the human race and the Shang race, and all forces are gearing up. Only by strengthening one's own strength can one protect oneself in troubled times.
Especially this time when I arrived in the Demon Domain. Su Qingchen had a hidden worry in his heart.
He discovered that the so-called Shang tribe was not monolithic, but more like a tribe, and there was no unified dynasty.
If the Shang realize this, and a strongman emerges to integrate the entire Shang clan, the battle for survival with the Terrans will become a battle of fate.
Su Qingchen thought so, and his cultivation accelerated even more, and soon the sky became brighter. The two of them left the room and set out on the road to Xicheng again.
Along the way, I saw countless strange people who were like wandering people, constantly advancing towards Xicheng.
"They're ......"
"They are generally strangers who have no home, or the main family or sect or other hall is in ruins, and they leave the main family and come out to make a living on their own. The deed house in the west city was established because of these people. ”
"It's too many...... Su Qingchen said with emotion as he looked at the flow of people like ants moving, which reminded him of the people who had fled from inside the gate to outside the gate before.
"Since a few years ago, the climate of this Demon Domain has become more severe, and more importantly, from the observation of our company, the Demon Qi Stirring in the Demon Domain has become more intense."
"The demonic energy has become more intense?"
"Yes, in fact, the source of the strange haze in the body of the Shang people is the demonic qi agitation, and now that the demonic qi agitation has become more intense, it has made it extremely difficult for many Shang people to cultivate."
"The demonic energy has become more intense? Isn't it supposed to be easier to absorb? ”
"It's different, for example, it's like a lake becomes turbulent, but the person who draws the water is not easy to get water, but it is easier to be knocked into the lake."
Without waiting for Sikong Wei to explain, in fact, Su Qingchen knew that he had asked a stupid question, cultivation was originally walking on a tightrope, and the demonic qi stirring became more intense, and the impact on cultivation was not such a simple question at all.
But looking at these homeless strangers who were heading towards Xicheng one by one, Su Qingchen seemed to understand that the war launched by Ling Ju was not because of any "heirs instigated to kill each other" or because of the turmoil of the Shang clan itself, which needed to divert contradictions.
Judging from the dense crowd of homeless strangers, this war is inevitable.
......
Su Qingchen took Sikong Yu to the Yanlai Alien Hall, only to see his two "junior brothers" Yanwen and Yansha under the sun, each holding a wooden sword and practicing against each other.
It's hard for you to imagine that this is an alien hall, not a sword hall.
"Senior Brother......
"Senior brother! You're back. ”
The immature faces of the two were full of joy, because they were fighting, so their faces were red.
Su Qingchen smiled and nodded, and took out the pastries he bought temporarily on the road, and the two of them ate happily, and did not forget to thank Su Qingchen while eating.
"Uncle! Uncle! Su Qingchen couldn't help but shout when he saw that Yan Lai was not sleeping in the yard.
"Senior brother, Master, he went out, since you left, he has to go out early every day and come back at night. Recently, however, he said that the world had become chaotic and that he would usually come back in half a day. ”
Su Qingchen was full of suspicions, this Uncle Yanlai suddenly became so concerned about himself.
Soon, however, the mystery was revealed, and Smoke Lai returned with the smell of alcohol.
It turned out that the world he said had become chaotic, and he could only drink for half a day.
"Yo, you're back, how's it going? Oh, who is this? Did you save it? Covered in demonic energy, dressed and elegant, it must be a lady from a big family. ”
Yanlai was wearing only half of his mask, his face was flushed, his dress was still sloppy, and his sleepy eyes were still worried.
Su Qingchen did not answer positively: "I'm here to say goodbye." ”
"Oh? You're going back to the East? It might be a little difficult now, though. ”
"What's wrong?" Su Qingchen hurriedly asked why.
"Because there is going to be a war, the Jieshan Pass has been closed for two days, and now you can't enter or leave. So I'm afraid you won't be able to go back now. ”
"What about those people from the East City Terrans in the original West City?"
"You said they, all those who testified that they were not the people of Xicheng were all repatriated."
“......”
"Is there any other way to escape back to the East City?"
"Yes."
"By what way?"
"Underground waterways. Not now, though. Because of the war, the underground waterways have been taken over by the city lord's army. You can try to return to the East Castle from above the Boundary Mountain. ”
"Boundary Mountain? Okay, I got it. ”
After Su Qingchen said goodbye to Uncle Yanlai, he explained the situation to Sikong Yan, but Sikong Wei shook his head: "There are heavy guards on the boundary mountain, and it is not easy to go back, but you can try." ”
Su Qingchen thought of the cliff where he had killed Feng Zi and Xing Wu before, the cliff he jumped off and through the Mirage Illusion, he could return to Dongcheng. I just don't know if that illusion is still there, especially if the mirage will continue to sleep after being woken up by itself. Try it anyway, though.
So he explained the situation to Sikong Wei, and only said that he knew a secret valley, so he didn't know if he could pass through it now.
However, there is only one way at present, if it doesn't work, you can only find a way to return to Dongcheng from the underground waterway.
