Section 450 - Establishment of a stronghold

The real person Wuchengzi of the Quanzhen Realm who was subdued by Shenxiao Palace became a wonderful move obtained by accident, and Li Xiaobai easily succeeded in gaining a foothold in the new team. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the eyes of the other team members, this guy is completely a fox and a fake tiger, and in the face of the arrogant and domineering Li Da Devil, they dare not speak out.

However, Wan Li, the Condensation Realm Warlock who still received the position of captain, knew that although Master Wuchengzi did not reveal too much information, this disciple of the Silent Frost Sect was by no means as simple as it seemed.

Stepping on the flying sword to follow the team, Li Xiaobai's patrol team began to go to the assigned patrol area, the Shuchuan Road of the Great Wu Dynasty.

As the largest country in the world in the eastern part of China, there is no doubt that it is second to none in terms of population and land area.

Even if the remnants of the Demon Sect want to secretly accumulate strength, most of them will choose to be in the Dawu Dynasty, and will not be in the barren country where the climate is bitterly cold, the resources are scarce, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the Fengxuan country is full of copper odor, mixed fish and dragons, and may be sold one day, let alone in the Mang country and Yueqing country ruled by barbarian wizards, or the Fusang country that needs to cross the ocean.

The entire Shuchuan Road, which occupies the largest inland basin, is divided into two patrol areas, one part of which is in charge of Li Xiaobai's patrol team, and the other part is in charge of Zhirong's senior sister's patrol team.

Although there are few alpine areas in the area inspected by the former, many places are located above the snow line, although there are few alpine areas in the area of the latter's inspection, they are heavy mountains, wet miasma, and infested with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

However, Li Xiaobai, who was mixed in the team, was purely here to play soy sauce, and he knew that the Dasuo of the Zihua Mountain Magic Dao Alliance was destined to be in vain, and he was not optimistic about the aimless so-called patrol.

This big net is not only for the Holy Sect, but also for the Heavenly Cult that has escaped.

Outside, there are people from the Holy Sect who have gotten the news in advance, and the Heavenly Cult is suspicious, and there are Li Xiaobai and Wuchengzi inside to disturb the sight, not to mention that if you catch the Demon Sect or the Heavenly Cult, I am afraid that most of the time will be wasted in vain.

In the eastern soil of Shenzhou, groups of flickering sword lights like fireflies flew in all directions, and the ignorant people who were suspicious and suspicious were born as fairy gods, and after being surprised and inexplicable, they all knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely, not knowing whether to pray for good fortune or good luck.

After flying for three days and three nights, Li Xiaobai entered the patrol area of his team with the patrol, and the first stop was Songzhou City, which was the only way to enter the snowy plateau.

This city is built according to the pass, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Camels and horses hesitated slowly on the Pangu mountain road full of goods, and only when they came here could they really take a breath.

Although this trade route that required to cross the snowy plateau was difficult and dangerous, it was extremely important for the Dawu Dynasty.

Even if the Fengxuan Kingdom on the northwest border is closed off and blocks the trade route, even if the southeast coast is rough and ships are trapped in the harbor, this long inland trade route can pass freely without any disturbance.

The Dawu Dynasty occupies the largest and fattest land in the eastern soil of Shenzhou, and still needs to communicate with the outside world.

Gems, spices, rhino horns, ivory and unique medicinal materials from the countries of the Western Regions are very popular with the Dawu Dynasty and the common people.

The Dawu Dynasty's magic elixirs and magic weapons, silk, porcelain, lacquerware, etc. are also extremely sought-after in the Western Regions, and some even travel thousands of miles to reach the extreme west, and the value has multiplied many times.

Although the road is dangerous, it cannot stop the profit-seeking businessmen.

Although Songzhou City does not produce much, and even food needs to be imported from the outside world, the merchants who come and go make it the last piece of paradise before entering the bitter cold and snowy region.

More than ten sword lights fell from the sky, and as soon as Li Xiaobai and the others appeared from the sword light, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and the crowd immediately gave up a large area of emptiness, for fear of recklessly colliding with these immortal elders.

"Senior brother, shall we go to the inn or find another place outside the city?"

Although he is the nominal captain of this patrol, Wan Li, the Warlock of the Condensing Fetal Realm of Shenxiao Palace, is dominated by Li Xiaobai in everything, and he does not dare to exceed the rules at all.

If there are people who don't know, I'm afraid they will think that Li Xiaobai is the leader of these warlocks.

The air is filled with the smell of sweat and feces of camels, horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, and some barbarians who enter the city are like walking biological weapons, they only take two baths in their lives, once when they are born, and once before they are buried, the smell is simply terrifying, Li Xiaobai shook his head.

"Let's live outside the city! ”

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, fortunately, this junior disciple of the Jingshuang Sect did not insist on living in this filthy and filthy city, just now, there were still people who openly squatted in the corner of the street, pouting their bare cheeks without shame, and their appearance was suspicious.

The small area of Songzhou City is crowded with merchants who leave and enter the snowy plateau, and there are some barbarians who come down from the plateau, plus they are tired of walking, and they don't have much energy to modify the side charms, even if the young man comes here, he will become a big man, and there are many guys who don't understand any rules at all, which makes this small city completely overwhelmed, and the sanitary conditions have become extremely bad.

"It's okay, Han Jin, you and Chaidian stay in the city to investigate, and when we find a place to stay, we will inform you. ”

Li Xiaobai's proposal, captain Wan Li also agreed.

Accustomed to staying in a sect far away from the red dust of the world, no one will adapt to the crowded and noisy town.

The people who were named looked at each other, so they had to stay as ordered, one of them was Han Jin, a warlock of the Yunshan Sect who had just been slapped to the ground by a slap not long ago, and the other was a chasing electric from the Holy Hand Gate.

The former is still in the punishment period, no good things can be done in his turn, the hard work and heavy work are all his, there can be no complaints, he can't double the cleanup, he can't even cry There is no place to cry, he can only work hard honestly.

The Holy Hand Gate is close to the world, and with some experience in this area, even if you can't find out any valuable information, you are not easy to be deceived.

There is a general temple in Nanshan next to the city wall of Songzhou, you can overlook the whole city, just send a silver tael to the temple to wish, it becomes the place where a group of people stay, looking for someone to repair the house, add some household goods, it is the first stronghold of the patrol.

There is only coarse tea and light rice in the temple, and it is self-sufficient, only with more than ten acres of slope land behind the temple, it is impossible to supply more than a dozen new guests, but for the immortals, it is just a small silver money problem, not bad money and care about the poor conditions?

At the foot of the mountain, the most famous restaurant in Songzhou City, Yingxian Lou, booked a table of noodles, and was sent to the General's Temple, which solved the problem of filling the belly.

Next, we will go deep into the snowy plateau, and God knows if we can find a place to eat a mouthful of hot soup and rice, and the stronghold of the General Temple outside Songzhou City is particularly important.

After having a sumptuous meal, he sent the guys from Yingxian Mansion to take away the leftover soup, and the patrol leader Wan Li took out a piece of parchment paper and spread it on the wiped clean table of the Eight Immortals.

The tenacity of the paper, especially after being pressed by marble and secret medicine, makes it more resistant to preservation and easier to color than paper, and this is a map of the topography of Shuchuan Road, although not very detailed, but it also indicates the relatively obvious mountains, rivers and towns.

Maps have always been strictly controlled by secular governments, and private individuals are not allowed to collect them. This map of Wanli comes from the caravan's private drawing, although the error is not small, for the warlocks who control the flying sword, they can completely ignore the deviation of one or two hundred miles.

"Here we are!"

Wan Li pointed to Songzhou, which was written in lowercase with a fly's head, and then took out a small piece of talc and circled their patrol area, which overlapped slightly with the other patrol team patrolling Shuchuan Road together, so as not to cause omissions in the division of areas.

"Next, we need to establish a temporary base on the patrol line first, and reserve dry food and other materials, after all, it is not easy to supply the snowy plateau, and it is difficult to make a fire, so we can't spend a lot of energy on foraging and camping, once we find the traces of the remnants of the Demon Sect, it can also be used to receive reinforcements, and there is no need to rush ...... at that time."

can be sent by Wuchengzi and arranged by Li Xiaobai's side, this Wanli is obviously also a talent, he is extremely competent to take the position of captain, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, Li Xiaobai is also willing to go with the flow, too lazy to point fingers.

In just a few days, no matter how unconvinced they were in their hearts, the arrangements made all the way over, everyone had already recognized the ability of this Shenxiao Palace Condensing Realm Senior Brother.

"Xiao Yan, do you see if there is anything else you need to add?"

Wanli kept in mind the instructions of his master, and at all times, Li Xiaobai was the main one.

However, he was not a member of the Heavenly Cult, and he didn't know the identity of this Jingshuang Sect's so-called "Demon Master".

"The storage vessel I bring has a relatively large capacity, and I can arrange a few more strongholds, here, here...... Well, Senior Sister Yuzhen's team can also be used, anyway, it's some silver, and Senior Brother is not short of money!"

Li Xiaobai added five or six more strongholds to the map, making the plan for establishing strongholds that Wan Li had just pointed out a little more intensive.

The others glanced at Li Xiaobai and wondered if this guy was courting the female disciples of another patrol team next to him.

However, no one supported it, Senior Brother Wan Li and this Li Xiaoyang are too strong, it doesn't matter if others have any opinions, this is not a bad thing, starting from Zihua Mountain, their team has acted as one, unlike other teams, in order to compete for the right to speak or show off, and from time to time there are disputes and stumble with each other.

"How big is your storage ring?"

Wanli couldn't help but wonder.

The capacity of each storage ring is different, some can only put down a teacup, the practical value is like chicken ribs, can barely be used to collect small and valuable things, some are very large, the legend of the nine storage rings into the world, like the cave blessed land, can not hold dead things, but also can hold living things.

"We're in this house now!"

Li Xiaobai pointed to the roof.

A gasp sounded around the table of the Eight Immortals.

Can fit a house's storage ring, this is a few rare things, these days they only saw Li Xiaobai take out pots and pans from the storage ring, and didn't care, but they didn't expect its capacity to be so amazing, no wonder there is spare space to fill some worthless things.

"Really?"

Wanli couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"There's actually a house in there!"

Li Xiaobai's cabin is carried with him, and he needs to use it with a wave of his hand, and it will appear in the open space in front of him, no matter how simple it is, it is much stronger than a tent.

"If that's the case, we're much more lenient. ”

The look on Wanli's face relaxed, they are not porters, although they have flying swords, but their personal carrying capacity is quite limited.

Without storage, they would have had to make at least two round-trips to barely transport supplies to one stronghold.

Now, it seems, with just one trip, two or three strongholds can be planted in a row, and each of them can be very well stocked, if not more comprehensive.

"But it's up to Senior Brother to arrange!"

Li Xiaobai did not interfere with the other party's team leader power at all.

Early the next morning, everyone went down the mountain and began to buy and prepare the materials needed to establish a base.

Pots and pans, rice, flour, oil, grain, dried meat, salted vegetables, cloth and household goods, if you want to live comfortably in a temporary resting base, there are many varieties and quantities of materials to prepare.

These things will be sent up the mountain in a steady stream, packed one by one according to the proportion of the list, and then put into Li Xiaobai's storage ring.

After gathering a batch, Li Xiaobai and Wan Li rushed into the desolate and cold ice and snow world with their edgeworth.

Ice and snow glaciers and permafrost are common here, the air is extremely dry and cold, and the only plants that grow can tolerate the cold are knotweeds, various mosses and lichens, and even low shrubs are rare.

But this is not a forbidden area without life, but a large number of barbarian tribes are active here, continuing their difficult and tenacious inheritance.

They relied on hunting, grazing and gathering for a living, relying on various daily necessities and other commercial goods delivered from Songzhou to improve their quality of life, and transporting ores, furs, dried meat, medicinal materials and other unique products of the snowy plateau.

The government of the Dawu Dynasty adopted the rule of inaction here, in addition to collecting commercial taxes, even the pitiful agricultural taxes were exempted, and the main purpose of establishing Song Prefecture was to declare territorial ownership.

Leaving Songzhou, Edgeworth flew for most of the day, and compared the map in his hand at a leeward ridge about twenty miles away from the Ice and Snow Dao Merchant.

"Just here, junior brother, be careful!"

It was not difficult for a warlock to carve out a stronghold in the barren mountains, especially in the unsheltered mountains.
