On a winding avenue that leads to no apparent direction, there are six people walking slowly, although there are no cars and horses, but the speed is much faster than ordinary people.
Among the seven people, there is a man dressed as a scholar who is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, Zheng Xiaowu, and the other five people who followed Fang Xiaowu, in addition to Luo Cheng and Gao Tiezhu, there are Bai Chan, Xue Baoer, and Crystal.
As for Yuan Xiaoxiao, Dongguo Laoshi, Wu Dachong, He Bin, and Meng Fei, although they were also Fang Xiaowu's followers, Fang Xiaowu did not take them with him when he went out on a long trip this time, but left them in Huayang City, on the one hand, they could cultivate with their hearts, and on the other hand, they could also help deal with business matters.
As for Qian Mazi, of course, he also stayed in the Martial God Mansion.
Originally, Fang Xiaowu also wanted to leave Xue Bao'er in Huayang City, but Xue Bao'er said that his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the god realm, and he could completely stand alone, plus Fang Xiaowu lacked a waiting person by his side, Bai Chan and Crystal were unreliable, so she followed.
Fang Xiaowu kept saying that he wanted to send the crystal to Crystal City, as if he was thinking about the crystal very much, but it wasn't all.
In addition to wanting to open up the relationship with the crystal clan through crystals, so as to get the materials that can refine the elixir, Fang Xiaowu also has a reason.
This reason is that Fang Xiaowu wants to avoid Zhu Jingwen's entanglement.
Since the last time King Pingxi invited Fang Xiaowu to the palace to speak once, Zhu Jingwen would run to the Martial God Mansion every day, the other party's attitude towards Xiaowu was very good, and he even learned to cook, and after enjoying the so-called "food" that was difficult to swallow made by Zhu Jingwen himself for a few days, Fang Xiaowu finally couldn't bear it, but he couldn't directly turn his face with Zhu Jingwen, so he simply "ran away".
Of course, although Fang Xiaowu's people "ran", his foundation still remained in Huayang City.
What's more, the Guigu Sect was also established in Huayang City.
Counting the entire Guigu faction, in addition to Bai Chan, the head of the sect, there are the eldest disciple Dong Guo Laoshi, the three introductory disciples Wu Dachong, He Bin, Meng Wai, and the female disciple Yuan Xiaoxiao, as well as the little junior brother Gao Tiezhu who just joined in a few days ago, there are only six people in total.
However, no matter how many people there are, the Guigu faction has been officially established anyway, which is a milestone that no one can ignore.
Bai Chan, as the head of the Guigu faction, should be guarding the foundation, but as soon as she heard that Fang Xiaowu was going to the Jing Clan, she didn't let Fang Xiaowu go, and said that she had to follow Fang Xiaowu in everything, saying that she wanted to protect Fang Xiaowu's personal safety. In fact, with Fang Xiaowu's current strength, he didn't need Bai Chan's protection at all, but Bai Chan didn't want to let Fang Xiaowu go, and wanted to watch Fang Xiaowu well, so he found such an excuse.
It had been several days since the group of six of them left Huayang City, and they had secretly run out, and they hadn't told outsiders about it at all.
At this time, they had long been far away from Huayang City, no less than 10,000 li, and saw that a market town finally appeared in the distance, which seemed to be not small, it should be a big town.
So, the six of them lifted their spirits and hurried towards the market town.
Soon, the six of them arrived in the market town, found one of the best restaurants in the town, and ordered many dishes.
The six of them were eating, and suddenly saw one person walk in, also dressed as a scholar, but he looked much more handsome than Fang Xiaowu, and belonged to a beautiful man.
Fang Xiaowu raised his eyes and saw this person, he was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Hey, Brother Yu, why did you appear here?"
That beautiful man was Fang Baoyu.
I saw that he was holding a folding fan in his hand, one by one, looking very elegant, after coming in, his eyes swept slightly, and then he smiled, and said: "It turned out to be Brother Fang, I really didn't meet in life, I didn't expect to meet Brother Fang here." ”
But he heard Luo Cheng say coldly: "Fang Baoyu, are you following us?"
Fang Baoyu closed his fan and arched his hand, and said: "I don't dare to go down, I'm just passing by here, I want to come in and have a drink of two glasses, and then go to other places to play." ”
Fang Xiaowu knew Luo Cheng's temper, and was worried that he would offend Fang Baoyu by being quick for a while, so he hurriedly said, "Since you met Brother Yu here, then invite Brother Yu over for a drink." ”
Fang Xiaowu said: "Since Brother Fang is so gracious, I will be disrespectful. After speaking, he walked up and shared the table with Fang Xiaowu.
Fang Xiaowu asked the guy to bring a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Fang Baoyu, and then asked the guy to add a few more good appetizers.
Fang Xiaowu toasted Fang Baoyu with a glass of wine, seemingly inadvertently, but in fact, he said with questions: "Brother Yu, before I secretly left Huayang City, I told you in private that I want to go out for a little personal matter, and I can't come back for a while, we suddenly met here today, do you also have private matters to do?"
Fang Baoyu sighed and said: "Brother Fang doesn't know, I and Brother Fang hit it off at first sight, Huayang City is without Brother Fang, it's not interesting for me to stay, so I came out for a walk, if I was not careful, I walked so far, if Brother Fang is convenient, please also take me, maybe it will be useful to me." “
Hearing this, Bai Chan glanced at Fang Baoyu quite jealously, and said, "The matter we have to do is very important, and it is full of danger, aren't you afraid?"
Fang Baoyu said with a smile: "Why did Master Bai say this? I remember when I first came to Huayang City, I had no relatives and no reason, if it weren't for Brother Fang, I wouldn't have done business in Huayang City, now Brother Fang has something to do, as a friend of Brother Fang, how can I not help?"
As soon as Fang Xiaowu heard this, he knew that this guy was entangled with him.
He thought about it carefully, since he met Fang Baoyu, Fang Baoyu hadn't done anything to damage his interests, and this guy didn't care about money at all, he had already handed over 200 million silver to himself to help him invest, even if it was for the sake of 200 million investment, he couldn't refuse others casually.
Anyway, one more person means more strength, so let him follow, and when Fang Baoyu feels bored, he will naturally leave automatically.
Fang Xiaowu said: "Since Brother Yu feels that staying in Huayang City is very boring, then you might as well go on the road with us." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Chan kicked Fang Xiaowu under the table.
How could Fang Xiaowu not know what Bai Chan meant, but he wouldn't reason with Bai Chan at this time, so he pretended that nothing had happened.
Bai Chan saw that Fang Xiaowu ignored herself, so she had no choice but to give up.
And everyone present, including Gao Tiezhu, although they all suspected that the origin of this Fang Baoyu was not simple at all, but Fang Xiaowu was their head, Fang Xiaowu said that he wanted Fang Baoyu to follow, of course they had no objections, so they regarded it as agreeing.
After the meal, a group of seven people continued on the road.
In the evening, they came to a small town and stayed at an inn in the city.
After the second watch, Fang Xiaowu was about to put his clothes together and fall asleep, but Bai Chan broke in.
Fang Xiaowu knew why Bai Chan came, and hurriedly smiled: "Ghost girl, I know what you want to say, that Fang Baoyu's origin is indeed very suspicious, but if he really wants to have any ill will towards me, he will not give me so much silver to help him do some business." ”
"Bad boy, you can't even see his little tricks?"
"What little trick?"
"Put a long line and catch a big fish. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Don't look at him being very nice to you now, treating you as a good friend, but I know he must have ulterior motives, and when he shows his true colors, you want to get rid of him, it's too late. ”
"I've thought about your concerns, but I don't think that's a problem. I have no grievances with him, and if I say that, he won't hurt me, and I can see that he is not the kind of person who likes to hurt people, don't worry, it should be fine. ”
Hearing this, Bai Chan pursed her lips and said, "Bad son, this is what you asked for, you really want to get out of the basket, don't say that I didn't remind you." ”
Fang Xiaowu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know, you go back to your room and sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”
After sending Bai Chan away, Fang Xiaowu could lie down and sleep.
The next day, the group of seven set off again.
......
The Jing Clan, a small country on the Yuanwu Continent, all the clansmen live in Crystal City.
Although Crystal City and Dawu Dynasty are adjacent to each other, it is a long way to go from Huayang City to Crystal.
If it is an ordinary person, it may not be able to rush to Crystal City in more than ten years, but Fang Xiaowu and his party are all cultivators, and their cultivation is very high, not to mention rushing at full speed, even if it is stop-and-go, not fast or slow, it should be able to reach it in three months.
There was another reason why Fang Xiaowu was in a hurry to send the crystal to Crystal City.
I remember that Linghu Eighteen once told him that the crystal was born as the "body of all souls", and if he sent the crystal to the crystal clan and let the crystal become a new generation of saints of the crystal clan, then he would be the great benefactor of the crystal clan, and maybe he could command the entire crystal clan.
Although the population of Crystal City is not large, only hundreds of thousands, but the physique of the Jing people is different from others, their cultivation is extremely strong, and their combat effectiveness is also above that of ordinary people.
Therefore, he went to Crystal City this time, not only to send Crystal home, but also to help Crystal become the Holy Maiden of the Crystal Clan, and according to Crystal, the position of the Holy Maiden of the Crystal Clan has been blank for hundreds of years, and the current supreme leader of the Crystal Clan is the city king of Crystal City.
In Fang Xiaowu's opinion, as long as the crystal is the "body of all souls", the crystal is the uncrowned queen, and when the time comes, it will be not easy to make the crystal become the saintess of the crystal clan.
Of course, Fang Xiaowu would not tell Fang Baoyu the purpose of this trip, and only told Fang Baoyu that he was going to a far away place.
And Fang Baoyu didn't ask Fang Xiaowu long or short, it seemed that in his opinion, it was a very pleasant thing to be able to walk with Fang Xiaowu, and other things were completely negligible.
Time passed quickly, seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, when they passed by a certain place in Dengzhou, they suddenly saw many cultivators hurriedly passing by, and several junior martial gods even flew with their swords, all heading in the same direction, as if something big had happened in that direction.
Fang Xiaowu felt strange, so he asked Gao Tiezhu to stop a martial god in the early stage of the god realm and ask what happened.
The martial god saw that the high iron pillar was nearly a foot tall, like a giant, and his companions were all advanced cultivators, so he didn't dare to provoke, and said honestly: "You don't know, hundreds of miles away from here, there is a mountain called Peach Blossom Mountain. There have been treasures in Peach Blossom Mountain recently. ”
