Chapter 217: It's Time to Arrive (2-in-1)
Jiang Cang took the porcelain vase with his empty hand, thinking that he should bring all the valuable yuan, so he didn't have anything to say, put the porcelain vase in his pocket, held the spirit measuring stone in one hand, said goodbye to the two elders, and came out of the main hall, facing north, towards the outside of the sect.
There are guards outside this sect.
I didn't know the direction of Wind Forest City, so I asked them first, and then asked passers-by when I got out of the sect, there was no need to ask the two elders again, it seemed that I was not enough.
What you want is to be vigorous and resolute.
And at the same time.
When Jiang Cang just came out of the foot of this mountain.
The two Sect Elders in the lobby also walked out of the side hall, hugged their fists towards the two law enforcement elders, and followed Jiang Cang, preparing one to protect the back and one to explore the road in front to ensure that the back road and the front road were thorough.
"As I discussed with the Sect Master last night." Seeing Jiang Cang and the three of them leaving one after another, the law enforcement elder sat down at the table of the practice elder and said to the practice elder, "What I discussed with the sect master last night was Wind Forest City. Its Wind Forest City is not far from the sect, only a few thousand miles. Now, there are two grandmasters secretly protecting this trip, and regarding Jiang Cang's safety, the senior brothers in the sect must be much more at ease. ”
"The realm strength of the two junior disciples is on par with me." Seeing that the law enforcement elder had already made arrangements with the sect master, everything was a plan, he also smiled and picked up the teapot and filled a cup of tea, "I said that the senior brother happened to take out the pill and send it to the descendants of Wind Forest City, it turned out that the sect master had already made arrangements, and you had already planned."
The practice elder put down the teapot, picked up the tea, and saluted the law enforcement elder, "Now the news of Jiang Cang's qualifications has not been leaked at all. This trip will be a success, and we only need to wait for Jiang Cang to return to the sect and give the position of steward of the outer gate. ”
"Good." The law enforcement elder returned the salute with tea, waved his hand again, and walked in from outside the hall, it was the middle-aged law enforcement disciple who had invited Jiang Cang to this hall before.
"Master."
When he came to the hall, he first hugged his fist to the law enforcement elder, and then moved a piece slightly to bow to the practice elder, "Elder." ”
"Senior brother, what else do you have to explain." The practice elder turned his head to look at the law enforcement elder who had just put down the tea, and his heart was a few moments, and he didn't ask.
The Law Enforcement Elder smiled and nodded at the Cultivation Elder, and without avoiding anything, he said to the two disciples, "I remember that Guangcheng is from Wind Forest City. ”
"Thank you Master for your concern." Guangcheng, that is, the disciple who brought Jiang Cang here, was quite moved when he heard his master ask him personal questions, hurriedly shook his hands, and said solemnly: "When the disciple came to the sect thirty years ago, he was indeed a person from Fenglin City. And now he is a law enforcement disciple of the Tianyang Sect! ”
"Good!" The law enforcement elder nodded, got up and came to Guangcheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "In the thirty years in the sect, Guangcheng has trembled, and he has seen it in his eyes. And today, for the sake of the teacher, I ordered Guangcheng to go back to his homeland to see the old people.."
When the law enforcement elder said this, he said word by word with another meaning: "Coincidentally. Now Jiang Cangzheng is in charge of the task and has not gone far. You 'accompany', 'supervise', hide in the shadows, don't deliberately see each other, let Jiang Cang notice. ”
"What does Master mean." Guangcheng raised his head slightly, and saw that his master nodded, so he stopped talking.
But he understood what the law enforcement elder meant, and he knew that the master had let him secretly protect the 'junior brother' named Jiang Cang. ’
So, the master has an order, and with the thirty years of life in the sect, he has indeed returned to the land.
Guangcheng hugged his fists again, picked up his weapon on the practice ground outside the hall, and left.
When the law enforcement elder saw Guangcheng leaving, he said to the practice elder who didn't say a word: "If Jiang Cang encounters a major event, he will naturally have two juniors and disciples to help. But if it's a trivial matter, how can you bother the two junior brothers? ”
The Law Enforcement Elder said, sat back at the table, and saluted the Cultivation Elder, "Now it just so happens that listening to my disciple, he is from Wind Forest City. Then it is better to let my disciple secretly follow him, if something small happens, with his innate peak realm, the young man is not afraid. ”
"I want your disciple to have a good relationship with the young sect master earlier.." The Elder of the Exercises looked at the Elder of Law Enforcement with a straight expression, and suddenly understood the little 'careful thought' in his heart. ’
Isn't it that after Jiang Cang ascends to the position of Tianyang Sect Master in the future, let Jiang Cangnian protect the kindness of this senior brother Guangcheng, and then help out?
Time.
Thinking of this, the practice elder had to say that this senior brother of his own seemed to be a one-eyed and rigorous person, but in fact he was really a cunning old fox with a loud abacus.
It is estimated that in addition to the elixir, even the law enforcement disciple who specially invited Jiang Cang to the hall today was specially selected and arranged by the law enforcement elders, how could it be a coincidence?
However, although the practice elder pierced his own senior brother's thoughts, he was smiling with joy on his face, and said to the law enforcement elder: "What the senior brother said is very true! Why didn't I think of this before?! ”
When he said this, he sighed again, "Alas... I'm still not as thoughtful as my brother."
"Senior brother is vain~" When the law enforcement elder heard this flattery, he waved his hand for a while, and his expression was humble.
But he, like the practice elders, is two or three hundred years old, and he has worked with the same sect for a hundred years, who doesn't know what is in someone's heart?
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't strike first now, he would have sent someone immediately.
I believe that as soon as the practice elder went out on his hind feet, he called his disciples to follow, and used eighty percent of the same reasons as himself.
And the two were gossiping and sipping tea.
But on the other side, Chu Ang returned to the valley and specifically found Steward Wei, wanting to ask Brother Jiang what happened.
It's just that.
As soon as he came to Steward Wei's house, he explained to Steward Wei that Jiang Cang had been taken away by the law enforcement disciples.
Steward Wei suddenly smiled in Chu Anggan's anxious and curious gaze.
"You don't have to worry about Brother Jiang's affairs." As if he knew something, Steward Wei said to Chu Ang, who was becoming more and more curious: "It's a good thing, when Brother Jiang comes back, you'll know what's going on."
Steward Wei said, although he served as the steward of Beishan who opened the door to accept apprentices some time ago, he knew some news about Jiang Cang, such as 'The qualifications are very high, and he has entered the innate. ’
But which is more important, he can understand that even if Jiang Cang's relationship with Chu Ang is very good, he didn't say much, knowing that if he talks too much, he will lose.
And Jiang Cang's qualifications are high, he doesn't know, but he is definitely in the fifth layer of spiritual light, and even more so in the sixth layer, or the seventh layer of the top genius!
"Brother Jiang has a secret mission from the sect?" When Chu Ang heard the word 'good thing', he asked suspiciously, "But we all entered the sect some time ago, how could Brother Jiang be assigned a task by the sect?.. Brother Wei Zhong didn't say it. The new disciples will be at least half a year later, and they will be able to go out and travel to help the people of the nearby villages clear the wild beasts in the forest."
"Clear Beast?" Steward Wei shook his head, just don't say it, let Chu Ang guess.
He felt that even if Chu Ang wanted to break his head, he didn't know that his Brother Jiang had already stepped into the 'innate' and was performing the position of the outer gate steward.
Maybe when Jiang Cang comes back, he will be on the same level as himself.
According to Jiang Cang's age, it is estimated that there is still hope for an 'elder'.
And when Steward Wei thought that if Jiang Cang served as an elder in his lifetime, he would not be able to follow the light.
Chu Ang still guessed again, he couldn't guess no matter how he guessed, so he simply didn't care, as long as it was a good thing.
Then he has nothing to do in the sect, so he has to go back to practice, and when he encounters a problem, he will come to consult Brother Wei Zhong.
Equally.
At the foot of the mountain outside the sect about thirty miles away.
Jiang Cang traveled all the way, and he also ate an innate elixir, and he was practicing all the time, and his own aura gathered in Xiao Zhoutian, and he didn't fall in the slightest.
Wait until we come to the bottom of the mountain.
Jiang Cang took out the booklet of the sect again, and let the disciples on duty take a look like a 'customs clearance document', and more than 100 disciples on both sides let them go, and no one stopped them.
It is all because there are disciples who have published the sect booklet, either to visit relatives or to carry out tasks, one is to return home, and the other is to do the right thing of the sect, all of which are major events, so there is no need to ask, just let them go.
Just waited for a few steps.
Jiang Cang remembered that he didn't know where to go, but he clenched his fists and asked a disciple who was nearby, "Senior brother, which direction is Wind Forest City?" ”
"Windforest City?" The disciple on duty first looked at Jiang Cang's outer door clothes, and saw that it was a disciple who had only been in the sect for a long time, so he responded to Jiang Cang's sentence of 'senior brother', and then pointed towards a plain in front of him, and then looked at the mountains and forests three miles away.
"Wind Forest City is thousands of miles to the southeast. The journey will pass through this woodland three miles away, about ten miles in a radius of about ten miles, surrounded by mountains, where fierce beasts are often found. If the junior brother has something to do, he should go to Wind Forest City and pass through this mountain forest as soon as possible before dark. ”
When this disciple said this, he glanced Jiang Cang up and down again, and saw that Jiang Cang didn't have anything with him, but he untied the long sword on his waist and handed it to Jiang Cang and said, "This trip is a thousand miles. I also hope that the junior brother will be careful on the way. ”
'Click' Jiang Cang hugged his fist in return, but the long sword didn't take it, because he used a knife, he didn't specialize in swordsmanship, he didn't use other people's sharp weapons, and the sword was dusty, or it was broken, which was not good.
His strength is enough, this long sword is too light.
It's not as good as fists and feet.
Moti's double knives are in his storage, the dagger is on his chest, and the sharp weapon is not used, so he accepted it.
"Thank you, brother."
Jiang Cang hugged his fists again gratefully, and when he saw that he was out of the sect now, he moved his feet and bones and walked away.
Not fast, one step of thirty or forty meters, but in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared at the foot of the mountain gate, and was about to go to the mountain forest.
"Good body.." When a few disciples nearby saw it, they were amazed, if it weren't for Jiang Cang's outer door clothes, they would have thought that it was an old disciple who went to do something.
On the other hand, this new disciple must be a first-class genius among the disciples two months ago, and he has learned and gained a lot of ability in two months.
Or, it is to bring a body of martial arts into the sect.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, self-taught and quick-tracked, they are both geniuses, and they can't compare with them.
And before they could guess for a while, two more old men came out of the sect.
Seeing this, after they saw the majestic appearance of these two old men clearly, they did not stop them, let alone ask about any of the booklets, but instead held hands together and said,
"I've seen the Elders!"
"Hmm." Elder Zhao nodded with a serious expression, and then asked the disciple, "The disciple who left the sect before, in which direction is he going now?" ”
"Southeast.." The disciple did not hide it at all, and pointed to the mountains and forests three miles away in detail, and then said, "He is going to Fenglin City, and he is walking in the southeast mountains and forests, and the steps are very fast, and one step is about ten zhang.. Elder, you're looking for him."
"You can just wait for the watch." When Elder Feng next to him heard this, he waved his hand to reassure the disciple, which meant that the disciple just now had not committed any crime.
Meantime.
Elder Feng and Elder Zhao glanced at each other, and then looked at the shallow footprints on the dirt floor, when they were confirmed by their disciples, the footprints left every thirty meters or so were Jiang Cang's footprints.
They didn't have any extra words, one step was about more than 100 meters, and they went to the forest first, and they could see the figure of the young sect master.
But it's also this time.
Jiang Cang, who had already come to the forest, when he noticed that the disciple on duty at the mountain gate could not see him, but his steps changed again, and he burst out with great strength, blessed by aura, and with a distance of more than 130 meters in one step, he might jump over a tree and step on the ground, and rushed straight towards the direction of this wind forest city.
And along the way, there are basically no footprints left on the ground, which can be called 'stepping on the snow without traces', which is a kind of realm of light work.
This is still the same sentence, do things must be vigorous and resolute, hurry up, and go to the place first.
It's just that.
Subsequently.
When Elder Zhao and Elder Feng followed Jiang Cang's footprints and came to the edge of the forest, they looked back and forth at the vicinity, and their eyelids jumped, and they found a big event!
'The footprints in the forest are gone!' The young sect master is gone! ’
"Why are there no footsteps?!" When Elder Zhao found out about this matter, he saw that the surrounding woods were the same as before, but after he couldn't see Jiang Cang's figure, he was shocked in his heart, and he was a little panicked when he cared about it, and he was a little panicked when he was chaotic, and he no longer had the kind of virtuous and respectful appearance he had in front of his disciples before.
Because if he fails the trust of the elders and dares to lose the hope of the entire sect, then he doesn't have to say whether he has the face to go back, just the guilt in his heart can drive him crazy.
"Find!" Elder Feng also glanced left and right, a nervous look appeared on his face, and the worry and nervousness in his heart were no less than that of Elder Zhang, so he was afraid that the young sect master had an accident and was taken away by someone 'in the air'?
There is no way, Jiang Cang's matter is very important, they can't help but be anxious, and they must plan in all aspects to stay on guard.
It is indeed impossible to find it in the mountains and forests, and there is absolutely no Jiang Cang in the 'back road'.
They will choose to go to the forest ten miles away to find it, and chase it in the direction of Wind Forest City, saving them in advance and following the errand.
And at the same time.
Elder Zhao is a distance of more than 100 zhang in one step, wandering through the mountains and forests, and is bound to find the young sect master.
Elder Feng also stepped into the air, carefully looking at the forest under his feet, no matter what he was secretly or not, he first found the young sect master and determined the safety of the young sect master!
Just let them find it.
Jiang Cang had already left the forest at this time, one step of a hundred meters, like an immortal stepping on the clouds in the sky, the snow fell without a trace, and he rushed all the way towards Fenglin City.
On the road.
Except for taking a sip of spiritual wine, regaining his spirit, and maintaining his peak, there was basically no delay, and he was ready to arrive before dark, earlier than the disciple said that he would leave the forest before dark.
And as time passes.
At noon, the sun set again toward the west.
The law enforcement disciple named Guangcheng only passed through the forest at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and according to the location in the southeast, he was going to go to Wind Forest City first and then mention it.
According to what his master said, he knew that Jiang Cang was also congenital, if he was in a hurry like himself, and his steps were not much slower than his own, it would be normal if he didn't see him all the way.
However, if he didn't leave any footprints, he was a little strange, could it be that he had reached the 'Grandmaster Realm' with light skills? ’
Guangcheng thought in his heart, but he didn't have that kind of 'care is chaos' posture, and he didn't think that Jiang Cang would be arrested.
And right now.
It was just about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Cang had already crossed thousands of miles and came to the front of Wind Forest City, spent about three or four hours, and drank a pot of gourd wine.
Otherwise, without the blessing of spiritual wine, running 1,300 miles is too far, and the spirit and spirit cannot guarantee the peak.
And now, outside the city.
The people on the dirt road, rushing to the market vendors, still lined up with each other as before, touched five copper plates and went into the city to get money.
Jiang Cang walked to the back of the crowd, and he was also in line, while recuperating his spirit, he looked at the wide city gate in front of him, and the disciples and soldiers killed on the city wall.
Look at it again.
Their physique is around '5', this city is definitely a big city within the territory of the Tianyang Sect, otherwise there would not be so many acquired masters.
Especially according to the data, they are stronger than some of today's Yuan Powers.
It is estimated that when the Yuan Capable people come to this city, they are ordinary people.
And when Jiang Cang was queuing up to look at the city.
On a dirt road four hundred meters away.
When the two elders saw Jiang Cang outside the crowd at the city gate, their hearts calmed down, knowing that they couldn't find it in the forest, and they were chasing it when they went out!
This young sect master is really fast, and he is speeding all the way towards Wind Forest City!
'My little ancestor..' Elder Zhao looked at Jiang Cang in the distance, and confirmed again and again, when he found that it was Jiang Cang, and his little ancestor was fine, he exhaled a long breath and said to Elder Feng, who was also relieved next to him,
"Looks like we're not mistaken... The young sect master's light skills are superb, and he really came to Fenglin City first.. We.. I found it."
"yes.."
Elder Feng also looked at Jiang Cang and made sure that there was nothing wrong before responding.
And the two of them said, while waiting for Jiang Cang to enter the city first, and on the other hand, the little ancestor found it, and the two of them gradually calmed down, and returned to their original upright and majestic appearance, so that the passers-by looked at them, and felt that these two majestic old men were not ordinary!
But before they looked for Jiang Cang for a long time and didn't find it, they were almost frightened and sent a book to the sect, saying to the sect, 'The young sect master is lost!' ’
