Chapter 5 Encounters
The scorching sun was like fire, exuding a scorching light, like a big steamer, making the air hot, and the green leaves on the trees beside the road that were still vibrant in the morning were also drooping at the moment, and the greenery was no longer there, and was sunburned.
Mu Chen walked on the road, and the little turtle was lazily lying on his right shoulder, this is he walked out of the mountain village alone, stepping into the wider world, he has a trace of fear and anxiety about the outside world in his heart, but more of that yearning color.
"Boom"
Throwing away his bag, Mu Chen sat down on the grass by the roadside, took a handkerchief from his bag and wiped his sweat, looked up at the scorching sky of the sun, and fanned hard in front of his forehead with a small hand, trying to relieve the heat with the breeze he brought.
"Little turtle, didn't you say that you know astronomy and geography, so how far is it from Linxiang City?" Mu Chen asked weakly.
"What's the matter, I can't stand it, who said that I want to step on the peak of martial arts and be that master, uh! It's probably far from Linxiangcheng. The little turtle changed his words, and said with some lack of confidence.
Hearing the little turtle's words, and then looking at its somewhat distracted and perfunctory appearance, Mu Chen guessed that the little turtle himself didn't know how far it was, rested for a while, got up and patted his buttocks, dusted off the dust and grass clippings on his body, bent over and picked up his bags and continued on the road, walking on the road that he didn't know how far.
Walking out dozens of meters away, the little turtle saw Mu Chen's tired appearance, and said a little unbearable: "Actually, you can put your bags in the Hongmeng space, except for a small part of my private space, you can control the rest of the space, so you can save some effort." ”
"You didn't tell me sooner. Mu Chen said with a dark face.
"I don't want you to exercise more. The little turtle laughed.
Mu Chen: "......"
Mu Chen used his soul to communicate with the Hongmeng space, as soon as he came into contact, he felt a sense of intimacy, the space no longer suppressed him at the beginning, and his soul perception was infinitely strong here.
"Sure enough, except for the small area that is unique to the little turtle, it can be detected everywhere, so in this case, this space will be my territory in the future. The smile on Mu Chen's little face could not be hidden, and after a few calms, he put his bags in it and continued on the road with ease.
"Drive!"
A sound came from far and near, Mu Chen hurriedly turned around to look, only to see four horses galloping side by side on the wide road, and on horseback were four soldiers with a murderous aura, although they were running on horseback, their eyes were scanning the surroundings.
When I was approaching Mu Chen, I only listened to the "Phew... Hoo...", the horse team stopped in front of him, and the four of them looked at Mu Chen.
"Who are you and where are you going?" said two questions from the soldier, who seemed to be in the lead.
"I am a native of Lijia Village in the Wuyi Mountains, and I went to Linxiang City to join my relatives. After Mu Chen heard the questioning, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and replied timidly, what he said was half-true and half-true.
"Look up and let me see. ”
Mu Chen slowly raised his head obediently, and when he saw the sign of the word "city" on the soldier's chest, an imperceptible cold light flashed in his black eyes, but then he changed color as usual, and his face was full of fear.
The leading soldier looked at Mu Chen's childish and timid appearance, glanced at the other three soldiers, and thought that a teenager should not be any threat, and nodded to each other.
"You get out of the way, we have a convoy to get over. The leading soldier said with a blank face.
Mu Chen slowly retreated to the side of the road, looking trembling.
After a while, a convoy appeared in the field of vision, several carriages were arranged in an orderly manner, the carriages were all luxury, the middle carriage was even more different, the carriage was surrounded by the protection of the seemingly most elite soldiers, the material of the carriage must be extraordinary, at a glance the wood was all comfortable, the body as a whole was painted black and shiny, and the horses were also different from ordinary horses, the white mane was scattered at will, the body was strong, the body line was beautiful, the momentum was extraordinary, and it was naturally the rare monster horse.
"Captain Wu, why did you stop?" A gentle voice rang out from inside the carriage.
"Madam, there is a teenager in front of us, and we are learning about the situation. The soldier said truthfully.
"What kind of threat can a teenager have? Don't be nervous all day long. The voice in the car sank, sounding a little angry and impatient.
"However, Madam, Lord Shangguan has said that Madame must be sent to the City Lord's Mansion unscathed, and if Madame makes any mistakes on the way, how will I go to meet my lordship. The soldier said solemnly.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I want to come to the realm of my Linxiang City, there won't be any unsightly moves, let's hurry up, you must arrive at the City Lord's Mansion before dark. After all, for the sake of safety, the people in the car didn't blame too much and spoke.
"Yes, ma'am. The leading soldier bowed slightly, turned back into the car, turned on his horse, and directed the convoy forward.
Looking at the convoy that was moving away quickly, Mu Chen stopped for a while.
"This convoy looks magnificent, and I feel a sense of pressure when a soldier stands there, and the person in the car must be a distinguished person from the City Lord's Mansion. Mu Chen analyzed in his heart that because of the distance and the fear that he would show his feet, he didn't dare to use his soul perception to listen, so he didn't hear that conversation.
"Don't worry, the revenge in the village will have a chance to be avenged, don't envy others, you have to look far away, you are looking at the sea of stars, not this projectile land. But you did a good job just now, you know how to disguise yourself at a young age, and you are a material that can be made!" The little turtle naturally saw Mu Chen's thoughts, and said encouragingly.
Hearing the praise of the little turtle, Mu Chen's sadness was not there, and a smile gradually appeared on his little face, although he was usually shrewd and steady, he was only an eleven-year-old child after all, and he would still be happy after hearing the praise of others, knowing that this was an affirmation of himself.
...
"I have a way to speed up your cultivation, are you interested in listening to it?" the little turtle said suddenly.
"How?"
Seeing the little turtle's ill-intentioned appearance, Mu Chen hesitated, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation brought by the improvement of his strength and asked.
"Enter the Wuyi Mountains to practice!"
Mu Chen's hands burst with green tendons, and he resisted the urge to beat the little turtle.
"Hold the grass! You want to kill me. The little turtle's so-called method made Mu Chen angry.
"Think about it, the Wuyi Mountain Range is full of spiritual energy, there are no powerful demon beasts on the periphery, it is definitely an ideal place to cultivate, if you encounter any big danger, isn't there still me. The little turtle stretched out his paws and stroked a few hairs on his head, and said confidently (stinky fart).
After hearing the little turtle's explanation, Mu Chen was still a little hesitant.
"Anyway, the suggestion is given to you, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not, the strength improvement is yours and not mine. The little turtle spread its paws and said with a nonchalant expression.
