Chapter 0442: Leave the secret place and go to Jiuzhuo
The crack that left the secret place was hidden in a bronze ruin, this bronze ruin was even bigger than the one Su Qi saw when he woke up, it also seemed to have been shattered in the air, scattered bronze pillars and tiles were scattered all over the ground, and the beauty and delicacy of the past could still be vaguely seen from the ruins and broken tiles, Su Qi shook it slightly, and a bronze pillar that had long been weathered and blackened suddenly shattered, and the fine pieces fell from between his fingers.
"The number of exits for each secret place is different, there is only one here, but some large secret places have as many as ten exits, most of the time the location of these exit cracks is fixed, and a qualified boundary path monk must be able to memorize their locations. ”
Anya weaved through the bronze ruins, the bronze pillars below obscuring most of the ground, but she easily found the pale silver crack in the two sloping bronze walls.
"Where should we go?" Su Qi had been studying the map An Hong had given him.
"The fragments of the Ancient Boundary Map are still on me, and I originally planned to wait for the hunt to end, and then go to the black market with Commander An Lan to sell them, and then buy some scarce materials, but since the settlement is gone...... "Anya whispered, her mood seemed to be a little low, and she suddenly raised her head and smiled at Su Qi, "But even so, the fragments of the Ancient Boundary Map can't be returned to you, after I turn into a mother tree, I still need some natural treasures to give birth to new clansmen, otherwise I don't know how many years it will take...... This is what my Noi owe you. ”
"That thing has long belonged to you, hasn't it?" Su Qi stretched out his fingers, lightly touched the silver crack, and said after a moment of silence, "As for the settlement...... Do you really need to take another look? Maybe I can go alone, there are very few people in the Qianluo clan who have seen me. ”
Anya's face flashed with a hint of heartbeat, but she quickly shook her head, "There's no need, I know very well the Qianluo clan's style of acting, I don't have enough certainty, they won't send troops to the Noi clan, and how rare it is......."
At the mention of the name of the Noi Grand Commander, Anya had a strong hatred on her face.
"Someday, I'll kill him. ”
Anya's voice was soft, but firm, and with a slight flash in her hands, two twin knives appeared, and then stepped into the silver crack.
Su Qi glanced back at this yellow sand world, quiet and silent, only the bronze ruins told the story of the past.
It's a pity that no one can understand this story.
Su Qi turned around and chased after him.
--------------
Hurrying has always been a hard work, especially on the dim and lightless boundary road, it is even more boring and painful, there is always endless darkness and seemingly endless stone road in front of you, the hazy glimmer does not make people feel the slightest comfort, but magnifies people's loneliness, even if Su Qi is a monk who can fly and sword, that unspeakable silence is still constantly eating away at his patience.
He and Anya have been on the boundary road for a long time, if you count it according to the hour, about four days have passed, but because there is no change in the day, these four days seem to be as long as a month, at the beginning, he and Anya will often talk, Anya taught him other commonly used languages on the boundary road, and also taught him a few words, thanks to the monk's powerful divine sense, Su Qi learned these things very quickly, and he also told Anya a lot of stories about the world, from the human race to the demon race, from the Tianji Pavilion to the Sword Gate, from the Buddha to the Taoist cultivation, everything surprised Anya, and many of them made the two aware of the past in the boundary road, maybe there is an unknown past.
Why does Heavenly Court want to destroy the five human worlds?
How did the Terrans migrate to the Pure Yuan Realm? On the Boundary Road, it was clear that no one could open those gates, not even the Great Emperor.
What is the relationship between Buddhism and the Qianluo clan? The similarity between the two is hard to ignore.
There have been many great emperors of the human race who have set foot on the path of the realm, and where have they gone?
And what makes Su Qi most uneasy is this world, no, maybe it should be said that these worlds are weird.
He still remembered that on Jianmen Mountain, when the girl who was very short and sweet-looking, but had a bloody breath appeared, he had briefly wandered out of the world, saw the huge butterfly lying in the whole world, and also noticed that in that seemingly space-like place, there was actually no trace of the sun and the moon, not even the shadow of the stars, but when he was in the Eastern Wilderness, everything on the sky was so normal, the sun was dazzling, the moon was soft, and the stars were twinkling.
But where are they?
Similarly, these secret places on the path of the realm have plenty of light, but there is also no trace of the sun or moon, just like the sky will shine on its own.
And where is this path of the realm? If we think of the world as a planet, then the path may be in the vast space, and the path is a road that connects many planets, of course, these planets will not rotate, and the path will not collapse because of this.
This simplifies a lot of things, but it still doesn't explain the disappearance of the sun, moon and stars.
He didn't tell Anya about it, but he was vaguely aware that this involved the most fundamental secret of this world, and perhaps there was also a reason why he would cross it.
Four days passed abruptly, Su Qi still couldn't see any new scenery, no settlement, no bronze stone platform, and no human figure, in Anya's words, this road is the most remote path on the boundary road, originally led to a bronze stone platform, but that stone platform was broken in the war a long time ago, lost the ability to teleport, and the only secret place on this road has long been deserted, so few people will come to this road without any value.
Anya's destination is a stone city called Jiuzhuo.
This stone city is very new, only a few hundred years old, it is close to the core of the boundary road, and far away from the settlement of the Qianluo clan, it is a fairly safe place, the city lord is said to be a strong man who holds a realm, and the background is not small, so Jiuzhuo City has always maintained a high neutral attitude, never participate in the struggle of any force, and even more explicitly ordered that no one is allowed to do anything in the city, after the city lord personally tore apart a few outsiders who did not obey discipline, everyone saw his tough hand, no one dared to cause trouble casually, and dozens of different races in the city also lived together in peace and quiet。。
The reason why Anya wanted to go to Jiuzhuo City was because she took a fancy to its safety, even the Qianluo people did not have the courage to make trouble in Jiuzhuo City, and secondly, because there were quite a lot of merchants in Jiuzhuo City.
And after spending seven days and crossing three bronze stone platforms one after another, Su Qi and Anya finally saw the shadow of Jiuzhuo City.
