Chapter 830: The curtain is heavy
It is rare to have a sunny and good weather on Kunlun Mountain, and the tepid sun shines on the snow that does not melt all year round, and there is a burst of silver white, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Qi Heng looked like he was in his early twenties, with a plain appearance and a torn jacket that came from nowhere, digging in the snow, and from time to time he could pick up a dry branch that was not too damp and hold it in his hand until he had a whole heart. He tossed his hands and felt that it was about the same, so he stopped and turned over and walked towards a leeward bend.
Turning around a half-bare rock, two people, a man and a woman, sat beside the fire that had risen behind the rock.
The man is nearly forty years old, his face is rigid and rigid, even if he sits there, his whole body can't help revealing a trace of sharpness; the other woman, with fair skin and delicate facial features, and a trace of baby fat on her pink cheeks, looks very young, but there is a mature aura that does not match her appearance in her gestures.
At this time, the two of them were baking a few cold and hard steamed buns with a clean branch on the bonfire.
Qi Heng walked closer, shook the dead branch he was holding in his hand, and said to the woman: "Sister Ali, I don't dare to go far, I can only find so much." β
The two of them noticed his approach, and their bodies tensed, and only relaxed slightly when they saw that it was him.
"That's enough, put it there, sit down and have a bite to eat. β
Jiang Li smiled at him, and two pear vortices loomed on his cheeks.
She was dressed in white cotton armor with many damages and blood stains, and she carried a large square package on her back, which she never removed even when she sat down to rest. When De Qiheng also sat down and picked up a branch with a cold and hard steamed bun and roasted it on the bonfire, he opened his mouth and said to the forty-year-old man.
"Mr. Leng, what should we do next?"
Leng Chi's eyes flashed with a fine light, although his face was full of tiredness, but there was no look of difficulty, at this time, he heard the words and groaned for a while, before he raised his head and replied: "Go down the mountain first, inquire about the path clearly, and then go to the Western Regions." β
Qi Heng raised his head in amazement, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he said with some puzzlement: "Haven't we already come out of the Kunlun Hao Heavenly Realm?
Jiang Li also had a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't speak, just looked at Leng Chi, waiting for his answer.
Leng Chi had a trace of confusion in his eyes, and said with some hesitation: "I don't know, Lord Dutong's order is just for me to bring back...... said that it was negotiated with the Western Regions Immortal Gate, but who knew that there were so many changes...... At the beginning, the people of Zhengyi did cooperate and handed over the things to us, but on the way, these guys from the fairy gate suddenly repented, which hurt me...... Hurt me ......"
As he spoke, there was a pain in his eyes in addition to the confusion, he brought more than twenty brothers this time, but now he was the only one left.
Although Qi Heng couldn't bear to interrupt when he looked at him, he couldn't help but say after listening to his words: "The people in the Immortal Gate are chaotic, and even the one can't represent all the Immortal Sect." β
Leng Chi glanced up at him and said in a deep voice: "I naturally know, even I suspect that those people are not from the Immortal Sect at all. β
"What?" Jiang Li and Qi Henggu looked surprised: "It's not Xianmen, who could it be?"
"I don't know, but I know about this incident, and it was Xianmen who took the initiative to contact us. I don't believe it's just to trap us, if it's in Donglai, you and I may be characters, but if it's in the whole central realm, heh, it's not modesty, we're really not even small minions. β
"But their spells and feet seem to be indeed related to the Plain Girl Dao and the Imperial Soul Dao. β
Jiang Li subconsciously defended, Kunlun in the Western Regions is very far away from Donglai, blocking thousands of rivers and mountains, and a whole country of Great Qian, in fact, she originally didn't know the situation of Haotian Realm, but for this mission, she specially made up for the knowledge of the Western Regions Immortal Gate.
After Daqi really ascended to the position of the overlord of the Central Realm, although these common-sense things were a little complicated for Jiang Li, a person who had never stepped out of Donglai, they were not secrets.
Regarding the relationship between the various ways of the Immortal Gate, she can probably say why.
Compared to her, Qi Heng is a little worse, not to keep it secret from him, but his personality has always been rough, before traveling, he really didn't have a good understanding of this mission, and he came in a daze, and at this time, he didn't know how to interject, so he could only watch Jiang Li and Leng Chi discuss.
"Spells are the same as feet, and even people may still be those people, but their purpose may not be the same as before. β
Jiang Li was confused by Leng Chi's words, even if she spent a lot of effort to do her homework before she came, she still couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
So her face turned straight and said to Leng Chi: "Mr. Leng, did you think of something, now there are only three of us left here, and our loyalty to Your Majesty is no worse than that of the secret guard, if you have anything to say, you can say it bluntly." β
Leng Chi's face was a little struggling, and he exhaled for a long time before he said, "I suspect that this incident is related to the changes in heaven and earth three years ago. β
Jiang Li couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and Qi Heng was even more confused, not understanding how this matter was related to the changes in heaven and earth three years ago.
Since Leng Chi said it, he naturally didn't plan to keep it, and without waiting for Jiang Li and the two to continue asking, he continued: "Haven't you ever thought about why the Immortal Sect is so active in contacting us and wanting to return His Majesty? But this is such an immortal gate, this time it is so polite, so helpful, don't you think it's strange?"
"Why could that be?"
"Perhaps there is an explanation, that is, His Majesty has become a hot potato, and they don't dare to hold His Majesty in their hands at all. β
"Is there really an existence that can threaten the Western Regions Immortal Gate?"
Qi Heng was a little incredulous, although he didn't have a clear understanding of the existence of the Immortal Gate, he also knew that this was a strength that could compete with the entire Central Plains Dynasty, almost comparable to the giants of the Ten Directions, the sum of the Seventeen Families, such an existence, in addition to their internal contradictions, what else could threaten them?
"Not necessarily," Leng Chi said in a faint voice: "According to Du Tong's observation, the mutation did not break out three years ago, in fact, after His Majesty left, the mutation has already begun, haven't you noticed the activity of the Yuan Qi Sea and the loosening of the laws of heaven and earth? In just the past few years, the geniuses who have emerged in the Central Realm are simply innumerable, and the strength of almost every veteran powerhouse has increased by more than one ......"
"Think about it all ......"
His gaze swept over Qi Heng: "Think about your master......"
Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Li's body: "Think about yourself." β
"What was the level of everyone, including me, ten years ago, and what about today ten years later?
Jiang Li's brain couldn't turn around, and he said strangely: "You mean that all this is related to the mutation three years ago?"
"Yes, this includes the attitude of the Immortal Gate. β
"Then what kind of mutation is this?" Qi Heng had awe on his face, but he was more excited and curious.
"I don't know," Leng Chi's eyes were full of confusion, and he said honestly: "Although Lord Dutong claims to be pervasive, he is a little powerless about this matter, and the waves of people before and after have been scattered have sunk into the sea, so he can only narrow down the scope, and probably judge that this matter is related to Yuntian Sect." β
"Yuntian Sect?"
Jiang Li's face changed, he didn't know where he thought, and said a little strangely: "If the Immortal Sect is really threatened by the Yuntian Sect, why don't you just hand over Your Majesty to them?"
"This is also my strange place," Leng Chi said with a wry smile: "Actually, I also had the task of testing the Immortal Gate this time, but they didn't leak a word at all, and they just handed me the Star Atlas as agreed, and then left." β
Qi Heng smiled: "Maybe they can't mess with Yuntian Sect, and they can't mess with Your Majesty......"
As he spoke, he ignored the white eyes of the two people, looked at the square package that Jiang Li was carrying, and said: "This star scroll was originally theirs, but now they can't even break the prohibition of the mutation above, so they can only hand over Your Majesty to us with this precious thing, but aren't they afraid of Your Majesty, afraid that after Your Majesty gets out of trouble, they will trouble them." β
Listening to his words, the rigid lines on Leng Chi's face couldn't help but be a little distorted, this kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the methods of the Xianmen are so powerful and weird that ordinary people can imagine. He was sent by the secret guard to observe the Xianmen, and after so many years, he had only seen the tip of the iceberg, and he was already horrified, and the other party didn't know anything, so he dared to speak out.
On the other side, Jiang Li also felt that Qi Heng was a little naΓ―ve, this little guy watched his master find another way, take the road that no one had ever set foot on before to climb to the peak, and stand on the top of the entire Donglai, he felt that the world was unsurpassed.
But I don't know how big the world is, and how terrifying a force that has been inherited for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years is. You must know that the Great Qian Dynasty, known as the Ten Thousand Worlds Immortal Dynasty, is only more than 300 years old.
"As far as you dare to think, don't be embarrassed and smiling here, the strength of Xianmen is not what you can imagine. β
Jiang Li was asked to take care of the other party's master when he went out this time, and some of his arrogant concepts were naturally corrected in time.
But Qi Heng, who has always been obedient, was not so easy to talk when it came to the people he respected in his heart, and retorted with some disbelief: "Why is it impossible? Didn't Zhenguo Gong also suppress the entire Xianmen with just one person and one sword? Zhenguo Gong can, why can't Your Majesty?"
This sentence choked Jiang Li, although she made up a lot of knowledge about the Western Regions Immortal Sect and Daqian, but she didn't know the reason for this.
Leng Chi smiled and was about to relieve her, but suddenly his face changed, and he said quickly: "It's not good, they really caught up, let's leave now." β
Since Zhenguo Gong suppressed the first battle of Xianmen, the people in Xianmen rarely set foot in the central realm, and even if there was something that had to be done, most of them cultivated some agents to do it.
So the three of them crossed Wansheng Mountain after a lot of hardships, and found a place to rest nearby.
They just briefly discussed, and felt that many accustomed things may not be safe, but they didn't expect that the fulfillment would be so fast, and the voice here has not yet fallen, and the people over there have already chased after them.
Hearing Leng Chi's warning, Jiang Li and the two bounced up from the ground without hesitation, and fled down the mountain according to the plan discussed before.
