Chapter Twenty-Three: The City of the Five Elements, Ending in the Wood Realm
The four of them drove for about three days, but there was still no prosperous town in front of them, for rest or to inquire about the news, although they passed through the town, they were all abandoned and uninhabited, and it was very desolate.
"Why is it all a downcast along the way?" Ling Qiqi was a deserted town before meeting, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a troubled time.
Tao Niang looked at Ling Qiqi with a puzzled look on her face, and said with a smile: "I see how you seem to have spent all these years in a paradise, don't you really know anything about this world?" Hehehe......"
Ling Qiqi suddenly remembered that he had spent his life in the cellar of an unknown small village, and his face was resentful, "I've never been out before......"
"Then you don't even know about the Five Elements City and the Five Cultivators?" Tao Niang took out a handkerchief and asked with her head in her hand.
Ling Qiqi shook his head, when he was alive before, the most heard were the legends that the village mother-in-law said, but most of them were ghosts, spirit beasts, originally the nameless village was remote and unmanaged, and there were really few things in this world to know.
Tao Niang's eyes showed a look of surprise, and then she looked at Lei Shen's reaction and was quite shocked, and then said slowly: "Now the Central Plains is divided into five major realms, which are controlled by the five exercisers, the Golden White Gate, the Muqing Sect, the Shui Dai Clan, the Huochi Camp, and the Tuhuang Soldiers. Today's saints are obsessed with cultivating immortals and destroying demons, and this Muqing faction has disobeyed the holy order many times and is only willing to cultivate martial arts internal strength. Tao Niang paused after speaking, and then continued: "No, without the support of the imperial court, not to mention the loss of population, no one will come to help if something happens." ”
"However, in recent years, Jin Baimen has stolen the evil sect kung fu from somewhere, and his strength has increased greatly, and he seems to have a special appetite for the old emperor." After Tao Niang finished speaking, she glanced at Lei Shen, and suddenly smiled: "Hehehe...... Don't look at her martial arts skills are not high, and her skin is not very good, how can you say that she is also a five-exerciser, and she is worth a fortune. ”
After listening to Tao Niang's words, Ling Qiqi turned her head to look at Lei Shen with wide eyes, she didn't expect that she would follow such a big figure to wander in the world for so long, and she wanted to betray herself and escape again and again, but she didn't succeed in escaping, if she found out, it is estimated that she will not have any good fruit to eat in this world.
"I didn't expect your background to be so powerful....... Ling Qiqi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the Hades King is especially interested in Lei Fengtian, it turns out that he is not an ordinary person.
Lei Shen sat on the side and listened silently, thoughtfully, and raised his head after hearing the voice of the spirit prayer, his expression was a little gloomy, "Now that my father is gone, and the Wooden Sect has also been destroyed, I ......."
Ling Qiqi was about to open his mouth to comfort, but Tao Niang took a step forward and said: "Also, it is estimated that the territory of this wood line may have to change messengers." ”
If it was according to the past, when he heard Tao Niang's words, Lei Shen would definitely roll his eyes to her, but now in the face of the confusion in front of him, Lei Shen was just silent, looking down at the colored whip in his hand, and his hand was tightly pulled.
Ling Qiqi didn't know if it was an evil or something, and every time he opened his mouth, he wanted to lower the atmosphere to freezing point, so he immediately turned to the front and asked Snake Gong, "Snake Gong, can you help me find someone?" ”
The snake man sat in front and concentrated on driving the carriage, and the conversation behind him was also half heard, and somehow suddenly Ling Qiqi asked him.
"Not available." The snake prince replied coldly, now he just wants to quickly find a town, find someone in the sect to send a message to the Night King, how can there be any other idle time to find someone.
"A person who has a lot to do with Baotu." Ling Qiqi said hurriedly.
The snake man raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Who?" ”
"I only know that this person is in Mujing City, and his name is Tang Juan'er." Lingqi prays, his face is not red, his heart is not beating. When he tells lies, he always looks serious.
The snake man was a little puzzled, he had never heard of anyone related to the treasure map along the way, and now that he had been doing it for so long, it was strange to suddenly say that there was someone related to the treasure map.
"If you want to go to Mujing City, you can reach it in just one day, it is the border city of Muxing, and then you will go out for a few days to reach the Five Abandoned City." When Lei Shen heard that it was related to the treasure map, he immediately raised his head and said to the spirit prayer.
Ling Qiqi nodded, then looked at the snake prince and said tentatively, "Can you find it?" ”
The snake man was silent for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Yes." ”
Lingqi saw that the snake prince agreed to her, and finally fell a big stone in her heart, as long as she gave this tombstone to Tang Juan'er, she finally did not break her promise, if the snake prince asked what it had to do with the treasure map, he would tell them about the blood-stained treasure map, and it would not be considered to deceive them, how to say it, it would also tell them an important clue, it was really smart!
Thinking of this, Ling Qiqi unconsciously put his hand on the package and laughed quietly.
Fang just heard Lei Shen's words, and knew that he was about to arrive at Mujing City soon, so the snake man accelerated his horse speed again, and the three of them sat behind him It was very bumpy, so he quickly turned his heart and liver out of the road, and arrived at Mujing City in less than two hours.
Because of Lei Shen's identity, the carriage easily entered the city, and the four of them found the largest inn and prepared to rest for two days before continuing their journey.
The four of them hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, so Tao Niang took it upon herself to order more than ten dishes and was ready to eat them.
"Is there any good wine?" Ling Qiqi said to the shopkeeper.
"That's a lot, guest officer! I don't know what flavor the guest officer prefers? After the shopkeeper finished serving, he immediately bent down and asked Ling Qiqi with a smile.
I saw Ling Qiqi tilt his head, his eyes turned to the right, thought for a while and said, "Is there any dessert?" ”
Xiao Er looked at Ling Qiqi's thinking appearance, almost fascinated, Ling Qiqi was dressed as a man, but his gestures were actually girlish, his eyes were bright, his lips were pink and ruddy, and his facial features were almost perfect.
Although I have seen thousands of people, it is the first time I have seen such a handsome son, if as expected, it must be a young lady dressed as a man, if this face is in women's clothes, it will definitely fascinate everyone.
Although the two women beside this person are also like flowers, one is refreshing and clean, and the other is charming and enchanting, but compared to her, they are a few points worse.
"Is there any? Sweet? Ling Qi saw that the shopkeeper didn't ask her questions, thinking that she didn't, and was about to say that she could just take a pot of good wine.
The shopkeeper immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, the small one will be brought to you immediately!" With that, he quickly ran to the back kitchen.
"Why don't you eat vegetables? I didn't see you eat anything along the way, just screaming to drink, aren't you hungry? Tao Niang said as she put a slice of beef into the rice bowl of Ling Qi.
Ling Qiqi looked at the beef in the bowl, wanting to cry without tears, since she came back to this world, she will not be hungry at all, let this delicacies of the mountains and seas be like chewing wax in the mouth, and the taste is uncomfortable.
"Hungry ......" Ling Qiqi picked up the beef, quickly sandwiched it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing twice.
