Chapter 148

When everyone was talking about Lin Xuanzhong's affairs and the convoy kept hurrying, the mountain in front of them became steeper and steeper, and the valley gradually narrowed, and it seemed that it would not be long before the convoy would leave the valley.

The surrounding situation is nothing unusual, it seems that nothing will happen along the way, and in fact, it is exactly the case, because the two mercenary teams are relatively high in all the mercenary teams, and they are the closest to the city that never sleeps, so they are no longer within the scope of those bandits.

Time passed quietly, and at this moment in the city that never sleeps, the news of the beast's movement gradually spread, and many people who were puzzled by it gathered to talk about it, and some even formed a team to go into the mountains to find out. After all, it hadn't happened in many years, so many people wanted to figure out what was going on.

Besides, Lin Xuanzhong is here, after crossing the mountains and mountains, the two of them are walking on the top of the mountain two valleys away from the mercenary team at the moment, looking around, there is no abnormal situation around.

"Qingyi, how long will it take for us to arrive in the city that never sleeps?"

"It's about two days, and if you want to get to the city that never sleeps, we can go faster. ”

"Not necessarily. Just ask. "Calculate that it has been two months since he came from Wenfeng City, and seeing that he is finally about to arrive in the City that never sleeps, Lin Xuanzhong is very excited.

"Qingyi, what to do with our extra goods?" As soon as his thoughts turned, Lin Xuanzhong thought about the mercenary team again.

"There are a lot of shops in the city that never sleeps, and there is a large black market, so you don't have to worry about what to do with those goods. ”

"Black market," muttered, Lin Xuanzhong remembered the person in charge of the black market who had a relationship with him in the ghost city. A burst of emotion.

At the beginning, the three major families of Youcheng besieged the Lin family because of the black market business, otherwise that kind of thing would not happen in Youcheng in a short period of time, so now that Qingyi mentioned the black market, Lin Xuanzhong was a little touched in his heart.

"I see," it took a long time to react, nodding at Qingyi, Lin Xuanzhong no longer worried about handling those goods.

Suddenly remembering that the middle-aged team leader had said that it was best not to meet them after arriving in the city that never sleeps, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but think about what to do after he and Qingyi arrived in the city that never sleeps. I had long heard that the city that never sleeps was extremely prosperous, so Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go and see it well.

"Qingfeng, I remember that Uncle Shi said that there is a famous cliff in front of you, I'll take you over to find it!"

"Mountain cliff?" Lin Xuanzhong asked with some confusion, "What are you doing there?"

"It's not just a cliff, it's a historical site. Qing Yi continued: "There is still more time to go to the city that never sleeps, so it doesn't hurt for us to go there and have a look." ”

Ruins refer to some of the more famous places in history, and Lin Xuanzhong has seen this word in the book. After Qingyi explained, he already had the idea of going over and taking a look.

"Do you know the exact location of that cliff?"

"I don't know, but Uncle Shi mentioned before that it should be in this area, and we should be able to find it a little further along. Qing Yi's tone was not very sure, which made Lin Xuanzhong even more interested.

"Alright, let's go ahead and look for it. Even if he had consumed so much physical strength before, this interest made Lin Xuanzhong full of energy again.

Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was very interested in his proposal, Qingyi was also very happy, and the two didn't say anything more and walked south along the mountain collar.

According to Qing Yi, the ruins should be in the place where the mountain range is about to leave, and now the mountain in front of him is getting steeper and steeper, and the trees are gradually decreasing, according to the middle-aged leader mentioned about the boundary characteristics of this mountain range, there is not much way to leave the mountain range.

On the way, Lin Xuanzhong continued to discuss with Qingyi about the ruins. I remember that the ruins written in the book were big places, at least before they became ruins, and they had to be related to famous people or famous things to be called ruins, and it was really surprising that a mountain cliff was called a ruin now.

Along the way, he kept asking questions, and it didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong to learn a lot about that relic from Qing Yi's mouth. Sure enough, the reason why that cliff is famous is because many years ago a big man mentioned words on the cliff. Just three words made that cliff a historical relic, and Lin Xuanzhong was even more curious about the origin of that cliff.

Time passed little by little, and it didn't take long for it to reach noon, because Lin Xuanzhong was hungry and suggested that the two of them find something to eat first. However, there was no prey that could be used as food in all directions, thinking about the abnormal situation of those fierce beasts being frightened away by the black Jiao, the two gradually understood that it was impossible to hunt, so the two could only come down from the top of the mountain to see if there was anything to eat in the valley.

Strange to say, there seem to be many rivers in the mountains, and there is a slender river in a small valley. On the bank of the river, looking at the clear water, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and there was a meaning in their eyes that there was an endless road to heaven.

In the winter when the river dries up, the river fish become delicious food, and many mercenary teams rely on fishing to survive along the way. A simple exchange, no matter how cold the river is, the two go directly to the river.

Fish can be found everywhere in the clear river water, and there may be a lot of fish caught by people.

It didn't take long for the two to successfully catch a few fish, and I have to say that in the shallow river, even Lin Xuanzhong's fishing skills can catch fatty fish.

When they got to the shore, they easily made a fire with firewood they had gathered from the woods, and then each took a stick and stuck a fish to roast it. The seasoning of the grilled fish was deliberately distributed to the two by the middle-aged woman, and after being washed away by that torrent before, the seasoning of the mercenary team lost a lot, so the seasoning used by the two of them now is really hard-won.

After the fish were all cooked, Lin Xuanzhong had a great time eating grilled fish for the first time, and he thought of a very valuable question during the process. "If there is no fish and no dry food, what can they eat?"

Thinking that he might have to walk alone in the wilderness in the future, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was necessary to get the answer to this question.

"They generally feed on the rhizomes of wild plants. ”

"Can wild roots be used as food?"

"Some can. ”

"And what wild vegetables can you eat?"

"It's winter, and there aren't many wild vegetables to eat, so I'll tell you when I meet them on the road. ”

"Well, if you tell me now, I really can't imagine what those wild plants look like. The two of them talked and laughed like this, and finished their meal.

After an hour, there was an uncomfortable feeling of walking in the narrow mountain stream, the original valley had shrunk to a few meters wide, and the peaks on both sides were very steep.

"The Sword Emperor Cliff should be around here, let's pay more attention to the surroundings. Looking at the steep peaks around him, Qing Yi couldn't help but remind Lin Xuanzhong.

Looking at the increasingly narrow valley, Lin Xuanzhong paid attention to it.

Further on, after only two or three paces away, the peaks on both sides finally began to widen, and the distance between the peaks in front of them became larger and brighter, and it seemed that the two of them would soon be able to get out of the valley.

"These two peaks should be combined, according to Uncle Shi, we should go to the left after leaving the valley, and the Sword Emperor Cliff should be on the left side in front of us. At this time, Qingyi said very surely, and Lin Xuanzhong also found that the two peaks in front of him were indeed close together, and for a while, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the two of them had to go back and go again.

Now that the willows are finally bright, according to Qingyi's words, you can find the cliff if you go a little further.

Sure enough, when we reached the pass of the mountain peak, the ridge on the left changed direction and extended to the east. And it didn't take long for them to see the strange rocky cliffs, and a flat mountain peak jumped into the eyes of the two.

On that high cliff, there are three big characters that have been weathered by wind and rain, "Sword Emperor Cliff," and here is the remains that Qingyi said.

From a distance, the area engraved with the three big characters of the Sword Emperor Cliff is very different from the appearance of the strange rocky peaks on both sides, and it is smooth as if it has been flattened by someone with a sword. If it was really man-made, then what kind of strength would be needed to flatten this cliff dozens of meters high from top to bottom, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't imagine.

Of course, what is more important is that the three big characters, from the glyph point of view, are obviously done in one go, without any interruption in the middle, otherwise it will never give people the feeling that it is as shocking as in front of them, the pen is gone, Lin Xuanzhong can no longer think about how strong the person who can flatten the peaks dozens of meters high with a sword, and can continuously carve out three big characters from top to bottom.

Even if there was still a sixth-order martial cultivation realm, Lin Xuanzhong could be sure that he would not be able to leap more than ten zhang high at all, not to mention that he only had the strength of a third-order martial cultivation now, so the strength of the person who could engrave words on the mountain cliff was beyond imagination. After being shocked by those three big characters for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong gradually calmed down, and looked at the three big characters again, and his heart was already full of awe.

Qing Yi on the side was also the first time to see such a handiwork, and he was speechless with the same surprise as Lin Xuanzhong, Qing Yi was even more detailed than Lin Xuanzhong.

The simple strokes, like paused sword moves, hide a profound that is difficult to decipher. Just by looking at it, Qing Yi felt that there was a majestic sword intent shrouded in it, and sure enough, those three big characters contained the mystery of sword intent, and a close look at the Sword Emperor Cliff was of great benefit to a sword cultivator.

It's a pity that Qing Yi's attainments in swordsmanship are too low, let alone Lin Xuanzhong. Even if the two of them discuss those three big words now, in the end, it will only be in vain.

Standing at the foot of the Sword Emperor Cliff, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that the few big characters on it were amazing, and he didn't see anything else.

Only Qing Yi next to him looked extremely attentively, as if there was something hidden in the words, following Qing Yi's gaze, Lin Xuanzhong carefully looked at those words again.
