Chapter 36: Hitchhiking
Silent, with weight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
pressed on everyone's body, and people couldn't help but shut up.
The whole small building was full of people, but there was no movement.
Everyone just sat down, and their eyes didn't change, as if they were statues.
Wang Shi looked at everyone, but no one paid attention to him, and no one even turned to look at him.
Judging from the wear, the hundred or so people who came can be divided into three types, and it should be roughly three sects.
So many people, now sitting here safely and soundly, there is a faint murderous aura, but it is not so strong, which proves that this group of people is still friendly to each other.
In the cruel world, there are only extremes, there is no relationship in the middle ground, either enemies or friends.
It seems that these three medium-sized sects have formed an alliance to be able to sit here.
Seeing that his original seat had been occupied, Wang Shi didn't have the idea of causing trouble, so he just stood here quietly, thinking about his own affairs carefully, and didn't disturb each other.
If you want to spread your reputation and provoke these people in front of you, it is not a good way, and now Wang Shi needs to be honest.
From time to time, one or two people walked in, walking towards their respective camps.
It is probably because the people of these three sects have agreed to meet here, and only then will people enter here one after another.
The rest of the people here was not very long, but only half an hour's work, and no one entered again. After reaching a certain moment, they looked at each other, got up in unison, and walked out in turn.
These people come and go as fast as they come.
There was no sound coming from the process.
The small building, which was overcrowded just now, became extremely empty again at this time.
When people are gone, the space seems to be taken away, which still makes people feel quite depressing.
The old man tried his best to control his breathing, and it took several gasps before he calmed down. Such a big battle is really rare, and that strong pressure makes him really a little breathless when he is just through the Xuan Realm.
With so many people, the old man didn't dare to charge anything at all, so he could only hope that these people would leave quickly.
"Uncle Shi, where is this sect?" A handsome young man next to him walked over, his voice was not small, and he did not mean to be lowered.
The old man glanced at Wang Shi without a trace, but did not speak.
The young man didn't care about this look, and continued to ask: "Uncle Shi, so many people are already inferior to a medium-sized sect, could it be that they are rushing to the Four Holy Gates?"
The old man was obviously a little reluctant to reveal any information in front of Wang Shi, this was an extremely precious thing, he kept making his eyes, coughed twice, and said: "Master Xie, there are so many sects, the old man can't fully identify them, and I don't know where they are going. ”
The young man seemed to be talking to himself, and said, "The formation is so immense, it must be going to the Four Holy Gates, and near this stronghold, there is no place worth exploring by so many people." If so many people go, the road ahead will definitely be cleared. ”
The old man finally understood what the young man meant, raised his voice, and said as if he was deliberately facing Wang Shi: "Yes, there are so many people, and the only way to go is to go to the Four Holy Gates." It is said that as long as you can reach the Four Holy Gates, anyone can get the inheritance. It's definitely a place worth visiting, if Master Xie wants to go, the old man will support him!"
The few people who were left here had all heard the old man's words, and they roughly understood.
If so many people rushed to the Four Holy Gates and followed behind, it would be a good choice, at least the other party could open up a path and save a lot of trouble. Walking on this land, but beware of countless dangers.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has an intention.
Wang Shi glanced at the young man, and happened to meet the other party's gaze, and the young man surnamed Xie smiled at Wang Shi with kindness, which can be regarded as a greeting.
If you follow in the footsteps of the big team in front of you, it's always good to have a companion, but Wang Shi doesn't know why the young man surnamed Xie will find him.
The young man surnamed Xie took two steps forward, hugged his fist at Wang Shi, and said, "Under Xie Shiqian, dare to ask the name of Daoyouzun." ”
"Wang Shi. ”
Xie Shiqian was not verbose, and asked directly: "Wang Daoyou, do you have the intention to go to the Four Holy Gates together?"
Wang Shi glanced at Xie Shiqian seriously and said, "If Brother Xie is interested, he is also willing to accompany him." ”
After a few words of greeting, the two reached an agreement. Previously, Xie Shiqian deliberately made it clear, but he just wanted to find a few people to go with him.
As long as the temporary interests are aligned, then anyone can cooperate.
Going to the Four Holy Gates together, there was no competition of interests, and they were still able to come together temporarily, and three more people were present to join. Coupled with Wang Shi and Xie Shiqian, the five of them didn't have too much verbosity, so they chased towards the big team in front of them.
Before leaving, Wang Shi carved his name on the wall outside the stone building, leaving a mark that could be seen if someone came.
After walking out of the stronghold, the footprints left by the large team were clearly visible, and it was completely effortless to keep up.
If it's really the same as I imagined, it's a big bargain.
The legendary Four Holy Gates have all been heard of, and the strength of the inheritance is also quite moving, even if it is the real power of the Seven Dynasties, they will fight for it.
The five of them seemed quite silent, it was just a temporary cooperation, there was no need to make a deep friendship, they were still wary of each other, and they were all ready to deal with danger.
At that time, it was a safe road, but the next moment it is uncertain, and now it is still a pleasant-looking companion, and the next moment it may suddenly turn around.
Because there are many people walking by, the Hongmeng atmosphere here is not too strong, and you can see a considerable distance at a glance, and the surroundings are also quite quiet.
The silence has always been ongoing, and there is a danger in the inexplicable way.
The footprints on the ground remained clear, as if one could leave them.
The clarity of the road is in obvious contrast to the thick Hongmeng Qi around it, which makes the road seem even more quiet and weird.
A road that runs through Hongmengqi, mighty and vast, so obvious, in a land full of dangers, does it seem too dazzling?
Even if there are more than 100 people with strong strength, it is impossible to advance so blatantly.
Wang Shi followed everyone forward, thinking back to the map he got from Sheng Qiankun in his heart, and felt more and more that this road actually deviated from the path leading to the Four Holy Gates, but he didn't say anything.
As he was marching, Wang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly. Since the awakening of the pupil technique, Wang Shi's eyesight has exceeded ten times that of ordinary people, and he can see a considerable distance and see a faint figure.
The big queue ahead has stopped?
After a while, Xie Shiqian also noticed the abnormality, and everyone stopped temporarily.
The sound of the battle came, scattered and scattered, and soon disappeared, and the large group in front continued to advance.
Did there be civil unrest?
The five of them could only guess secretly, but they all found some anomalies, and their speed began to slow down, deliberately delaying.
However, the speed of the large team in front of them suddenly increased at this time, and it disappeared from everyone's field of vision in an instant, and even Wang Shi could no longer see any traces.
After a long time, the speed of the five people also began to increase, trying to catch up with the team in front of them and prevent them from being lost. And in the process of traveling, they also found a lot of people like themselves, who were following the large procession, and it seemed that they also wanted to take this ride.
The road that was stepped out by more than 100 people, the Hongmeng qi became more and more intense, as if the 100 people had gradually disappeared and did not pass here, and the surroundings began to become rugged, as if they had come to a mountain range.
Thinking back to the map, combined with his own judgment, Wang Shi knew that this had deviated a long distance from the Four Holy Gates. If you follow this path, you will find an unmarked mountain range, which is inhabited by powerful monsters and unknown dangers.
No matter how powerful the sect was, at the beginning, it didn't dare to explore the mountains here. After a hundred years of renovation, there are monsters that have not been destroyed when they were opened last time, and no one knows what realm of monsters is hidden in this mountain range.
The four people who traveled with him also discovered the abnormality, and they all investigated the affairs of the Four Holy Gates, and they could be regarded as knowing some paths, Xie Shiqian was the first to say: "Fellow Daoists, have you found anything wrong?"
"This path doesn't seem to be the path to the Four Holy Gates. ”
"It's so far away, aren't the people in front of us going to the Four Holy Gates?"
"The momentum is so huge, it's impossible to do useless work, and you can't deliberately design traps for us little miscellaneous fish, is there any treasure here?"
In the Spring and Autumn Gate, there are naturally strong people who specialize in intercepting and killing cultivators, and they don't need to explore any dangerous treasures, they just need to grab them. If the strength is really quite strong, plus one or two powerful formations, it is completely more valuable than going on an expedition.
It's just that more than a hundred people, designing traps, and slaughtering more than 20 people who are trailing, is completely a matter of tigers eating rats, and it is not worth it at all.
"Probably something, otherwise why are these people so flamboyant, leaving such obvious traces at the beginning, isn't it just to let us in?"
"Maybe that's why we don't dare to catch up, and that's not a means. Now, aren't the traces fading away?"
It is not easy to speculate on the truth of the facts based on the facts in front of you, especially when there are many people, although there are many ideas, the ideas will be more confusing, and people will not be able to judge the correct result.
Wang Shi remained silent, looking down at the footprints, trying to discover something from them.
From the very beginning, Wang Shi paid attention to the footprints on the ground, and had carefully observed the traces of the battle before, and had pupil skills, allowing him to discover some things that were not easy for ordinary people to find.
"Daoyou Wang Shi, what do you think?" Xie Shiqian asked Wang Shi, and the rest of the people also quieted down, waiting for Wang Shi's speech.
The people here did not despise Wang Shi because of his low realm, but became more and more attentive to him.
Being able to rely on the cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm, he has survived in the Spring and Autumn Gate for so long, and there seems to be no injuries on his body, his right arm shows a strange scorched black shape, and the knife on his waist is even more unusual. These are enough to make everyone have a new view of Wang Shi, which is why Xie Shiqian first found him.
Wang Shi groaned slightly, and said, "I don't know if you have noticed the traces of the battle just now?"
"Any questions?"
"Why did you leave a corpse, and the contents of the corpse were plundered cleanly, if it were someone from the same sect, I am afraid that they would not do this. ”
Even if there is an inevitable conflict, there should be no death, and a dead person means a rupture.
However, why are corpses left?
If the person in the same door dies, at least the corpse should be burned, so as not to end up in the wilderness, which is too miserable.
Wang Shi thought hard, and did not say other speculations, believing that everyone else also had reservations, and did not give it all.
Everyone nodded slightly, and Xie Shiqian said, "Fellow Daoists, what are your plans, should we continue to chase?"
One of them was the first to speak up and left the place.
People who don't want to take risks are not a few in the Spring and Autumn Gate, after all, surviving is a victory.
The remaining four hesitated slightly, but finally decided to continue walking forward, and if it was still so uneasy, they had to retreat.
In the face of unknown dangers, it is best to maintain a sense of awe. For ordinary people, there is no need for the spirit of exploration and innovation, just need to keep to their duties and strive for the benefits that can be seen immediately.
The surroundings became more and more rugged, and the Hongmeng Qi became more and more intense.
Silence allows danger to infiltrate involuntarily and envelop everyone.
There were only a few faint traces left in front of them, and they couldn't even be captured, and not far away, there were people who wanted to take a ride like Wang Shi and them, faintly, no less than twenty or thirty people.
The four had stopped, ready to turn back.
The weirdness here has proven to be a trap and not some treasure hunt.
Hitchhiking, it is possible to be one-way.
Wang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the traces of the battle in front of him, thinking of the previous traces, and trying to sketch the scene in his mind.
Suddenly, Wang Shi found a small fragment, buried in the scorched earth, only a little bit exposed, if it weren't for his sharp eyes, he really wouldn't have been able to find it. He blew open the scorched earth and carefully picked it up.
The fragments are small, made of something that resembles wood rather than wood, with obvious linkage mechanisms, somewhat resembling human fingers.
Xie Shiqian asked, "Wang Shi Daoyou, have you found anything?"
As if he understood something, Wang Shi immediately retreated, and the faces of Xie Shiqian and the others also changed, and they immediately retreated like Wang Shi.
