Chapter 415: Pervasive
The nearest neighboring state in the south of Shu is Wu State, which should be regarded as belonging to the sphere of influence of Penglai Sword Pavilion. But there is not an inch of border between the two countries, this is because there is a large barren land with miasma between Shu and Wu, which is the so-called land of southern Xinjiang!
And Lin Xian's purpose was to enter southern Xinjiang first, and then make a detour to return to Tianweizong through Wu. Of course, the premise is that his simplified version of "Seventy-two Changes" is powerful enough to successfully conceal the search of the Emei Sword Sect, as well as the many small sects and scattered cultivators who are attached to them.
It's no wonder that Lin Xian was a little uneasy in his heart, since he left the Emei Yujing Courtyard less than a hundred miles, there were obviously more monks searching for his traces, and there was a tendency to become more and more dense.
Of course, most of them are monks from various small sects and some loose cultivators, I really don't know what kind of benefits the Emei Sword Sect promised, so that these people search around like crazy, without considering the consequences of offending the Tianwei Sect!
Moreover, the many great monks and elders of the Emei Sword Sect did not show up, but some young disciples with those small sect monks and scattered cultivators were constantly searching for Lin Xian's whereabouts, which made him feel more and more uneasy in his heart.
Fortunately, Lin Xian's "heart and soul" technique played a great role, and he was always able to find the traces of the search team one step ahead of time and hide his figure in advance. It can be regarded as a thrilling and undangerous gradually approaching the southern border of Shu!
The closer he got to the border of Shu, the more nervous Lin Xian's heart became. His intuition told him that this last distance was not so easy to pass, and perhaps the many great cultivators of the Emei Sword Sect were waiting for him in front!
By the way, Lin Xian almost traveled through barren mountains and mountains along the way, and rarely went to densely populated places.
Because Shu is originally mountainous, land transportation is almost fragmented, and ordinary people mainly rely on several large rivers in Shu to travel, and the exchange of materials and personnel is mainly by waterway.
Lin Xian planned to blend in with the merchant ship's fleet several times, trying to sneak through the river in a foolish way. Even several times he had already hidden in the cargo of the cabin, and he had gathered his breath. But as soon as the ship sailed a short distance, Lin Xian's intuition felt that there was a big crisis waiting for him ahead!
Although he didn't know where that sense of crisis came from, Lin Xian was still as good as a stream, and quickly left the cabin and hid in the dense jungle on both sides of the strait! After this situation happened several times in a row, Lin Xian knew that the Emei Sword Sect had a very tight blockade of the waterways in Shu Kingdom, and this road could only pass through the jungle!
"What the hell is going on? Although my current Yuan Shen is very damaged and I can't launch the [Hidden Kill] Immortal Array of the Flying Sword with all my strength, the Concealment Technique obtained from the Ancient Demon God of Northern Europe is also very, very powerful! Even if you can't completely hide it from the great cultivator who has attained the primordial gods, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary Heavenly Realm monk to find out! But why did I hide in the cabin and think I would be exposed? ”
This question made Lin Xian puzzled, and while flying through the jungle, he turned his brain at high speed and thought hard.
Even if the Emei Sword Sect adds all the Keqing Elders, the number of Great Cultivators is limited, and it is absolutely impossible to leave one in every waterway dock to search every passing cargo ship! But Lin Xian's intuition is simply impossible to make the same mistakes in a row, what is going on?
Without any clues, Lin Xian certainly couldn't come up with the answer out of thin air. So he could only put this problem aside, and continued to fly through the jungle towards the southern frontier and slowly approached!
However, Lin Xian had a hunch that perhaps this problem was the biggest obstacle to whether he could escape from Shu, and if it could not be solved before entering the southern Xinjiang, a bigger crisis was in front of him!
So Lin Xian stopped about two or three hundred miles away from the southern frontier, and after thinking for a while, he secretly made up his mind......
……
Because of its proximity to the Tongjiang River, Wa Mo Town is a necessary place for boats to enter and exit southern Xinjiang, and there is a small piece of flat land nearby suitable for growing crops, so it has gradually formed a relatively prosperous town.
Although the land of southern Xinjiang is full of smoke and miasma, it belongs to the barren land that is uninhabited. However, it is rich in all kinds of precious medicinal materials and beast skins, and legend has it that there is a large gold mine in the birthplace of the Tongjiang River, and a small amount of sand gold is often mixed with the sediment flowing down the river bottom!
If it weren't for the harsh environmental conditions and the highly toxic miasma, nine out of ten people would have gone to pan for gold and make a fortune if they had been there for a long time!
But even so, there are still many people who are not afraid of death who dare to risk death to enter the southern Xinjiang along the Tongjiang River! If you are lucky enough not to die of illness in the miasma, and you are lucky enough to be able to collect the precious elixir, or pick up a piece of dog's head gold in the river, then you will be rich!
As a result, many businessmen organized fleets to purchase precious specialties from southern Xinjiang. Although the ship has to go up the Tongjiang River, it must be equipped with sails produced by the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Moreover, each fleet also has to pay a high price to hire a monk master (usually a casual cultivator who has no hope of entering the Heavenly Realm), and it is really expensive to go back and forth! But compared to the profits full of southern Xinjiang specialties, it is still very worthwhile!
Of course, the fleet did not sail empty-handed on the way to southern Xinjiang, and the necessities of life from the interior were also full. Although the profits of these goods are much worse than those of southern Xinjiang's specialties, they are not without a small supplement!
The fleet of Liu's trading house is composed of six large and small ships, which is already a large fleet for a trading house that often runs in southern Xinjiang! Moreover, the headquarters of Liu's firm is located in Duliang City, and it is said that the boss behind the scenes is still a distant branch of the Shu royal family, so the strength is very strong.
Wa Mo Town was not the last stop for the fleet to enter the southern frontier, but there was no docking point between the last 100 miles or so of waterways, so most fleets would stop here for a few days. Replenish the supplies, sell some of the goods loaded on the ship and then leave, and the fleet of the Liu Merchant House will certainly not be an exception.
After the fleet of Liu's trading house approached the wharf, it found that there were not many cargo ships docked in Wa Mo Town, only four medium-sized cargo ships were loading supplies, and the flag on the mast also belonged to the same trading house.
This trade route is too dangerous, the smoke miasma epidemic is just gone, because the goods are precious, and the fleet is mostly through the deserted Shu Mountain, robbers and bandits are simply as many as cattle hair!
Although there are monks in every fleet, those strong beams are not vegetarians, and many of them are casual cultivators or part-time to earn some extra money, or they are hopeless and simply become robbers full-time, and they are also happy to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl! Therefore, the fleets that dare to run southern Xinjiang are all powerful large trading houses.
As for the small trading houses that dared to take risks, most of them ended up with only one person and no money, and the ships were never heard from again!
So Liu's fleet didn't wait long, and docked at the dock smoothly. Liu's chief shopkeeper is a middle-aged man about fifty years old, perhaps with a weathered face that has been running around all the year round, and his beard and hair have turned gray.
Standing on the largest cargo ship in the center, he loudly instructed everyone to take out some of the goods that were ready to be sold and let the buyers on the dock inspect them.
After arranging things properly, the big shopkeeper did not rush off the ship, but walked to the door of a room on the ship and said respectfully: "Immortal Master Li Wa Mo Town has arrived, and your old man has been tired recently, why don't you go ashore with us and rest for the night?" ”
"It's good!" An old voice came from the room: "I can also take a look at what good things are produced in this border town......"
This Liu Clan's firm is really strong, and what came out of the room on the ship turned out to be a Heavenly Realm monk! Although this Immortal Master Li is already gray-haired and about to die, he is indeed a true Heavenly Realm cultivator!
The Li Immortal Master walked off the cargo ship with the big shopkeeper, suddenly frowned, waved his hand and drove away the few small flying insects around him, and watched thoughtfully as the few small flying insects got into the cabin.
"Immortal Master Li, is there anything wrong?" The shopkeeper turned his head and saw him standing where he was, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with us! The big shopkeeper is still leading the way......" Immortal Master Li didn't explain in detail, waved his hand and said.
The big shopkeeper didn't think about it, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the middle of Wa Mo Town......
……
The last cargo ship of Liu's fleet was the smallest in size, but the most robust in construction! Therefore, the cargo in the hold is also the most valuable silk, and fragile porcelain.
Two young men entered the cabin, drew one from the pile of silk, and then selected a few pieces of porcelain to be examined by the customer, and then locked the door and left the dark cabin.
In the corner where the silk was placed, a figure suddenly appeared after the two men left, frowning and silently thinking: "Where does this feeling come from?" I obviously feel that there is no Ascended Monk in this town, but why do I always feel that my whereabouts are about to be exposed? ”
Of course, this figure is Lin Xian! In order to figure out where the uneasiness in his heart came from in the past few days, he also knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains! deliberately mixed into the fleet of Liu's trading house, hid in the cabin and came to Wa Mo Town.
Sure enough, as he got closer and closer to Wa Mo Town, the uneasiness in Lin Xian's heart became more and more obvious, but this road was so quiet, there didn't seem to be the slightest abnormality!
Although Lin Xian's Yuan Shen was now seriously damaged, he couldn't scan the land of a hundred miles from a distance. But by scanning this little cabin, you can still do it!
There are no problems with this cabin, and silk porcelain is just ordinary cargo.
Well...... A few small insects flew in just now, there are already many flying insects close to the southern Xinjiang here, and these little ones are almost pervasive, and they can also get in through the cracks in the closed hatch......
"That's not right! There is something wrong with these flying insects......" Lin Xian's eyes widened suddenly......
