Chapter 268: Above the Clouds

The two cloud boats slowly lowered, stretched out the pedals, and led Chen An and the others onto the boat. Chen An's heart that he had been carrying was completely let go of the moment he boarded the cloud boat, although he felt that everything was going smoothly incredible, but he still had to admit that Jiang Xijun had arranged it properly. Good planning can make things a lot easier.

The two cloud ships in front of me, one is 50 zhang long, the airbags on both sides are 30 zhang wide, and the cabin has three layers of upper and lower floors, which can accommodate more than 700 people, which is a standard transport cloud ship; while the other is much smaller, only 30 zhang long and 20 zhang wide, and it is also three layers up and down but can only accommodate more than 400 people.

Most of the people got on the big cloud ship, and Jiang Xijun sent his maidservant Jiang Xinyue to take a few Gaoyang clan disciples to manage it there. He took the other guards and Jiang Qian Chen An onto the small cloud ship.

When I got closer, I found that the material of the two cloud boats was also different, the big boat was a relatively ordinary white hibiscus wood, while the small boat was a precious red hibiscus wood. Moreover, the workmanship of the boat is noticeably more elaborate, and the carvings on it are exquisitely and luxuriously. This feeling became clearer when you boarded the boat, the deck was smooth and shiny, and the planks were almost seamless from one plank to another. There are also various reliefs on the walls of the ship, and the roof of the ship's tower is also decorated with glass.

When Chen An was still in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was sent to serve in the Ship Department and built ships for a while, although he mainly made soy sauce, but he also watched many building ships be built. It's just that this flying ship is different from the sea ship, in addition to the formation graphics and texts engraved on the entire hull, there are also a lot of things, such as airbags on both sides of the hull, and four propellers that can be stretched at the bottom of the ship and can be transformed at 360 degrees, as well as eight sets of bellows on the bottom of the ship and twelve sets of bellows on the hull......

Blood crystals are neatly embedded in the center of each rune array, and in the energy chamber, there are also burning stones that are thrown into the energy furnace and used as auxiliary energy sources.

Carrying Jiang Xijun and others, the twelve red flame rune plates at the bottom of the ship were controlled by the central control room to increase the air pressure by releasing heat energy, and the eight sets of bellows at the bottom of the ship adjusted the direction under the action of high pressure, spraying out these air currents, pushing the cloud ship to gradually rise, breaking through the clouds and mist, and sailing up to the endless sea of clouds. The twelve sets of bellows on the hull also adjusted the direction under the action of the Red Flame Rune to keep the cloud ship moving forward.

Chen An stood on the deck of the cloud ship, looking at the clouds slowly floating around, and finally understood the reason why the cloud ship was named the cloud ship.

"It's beautiful, it's my car, the Red Moon, built especially for me by the shipyard. Jiang Xijun came behind Chen An at some point, but Jiang Qiu, who had been inseparable from her like a fart, was nowhere to be seen.

She walked to Chen An's side, opened her arms, felt the wind that had been weakened countless times by the formation on the ship, and said leisurely: "I still remember the first time I made a cloud boat, that feeling of relaxation and joy, I really can't forget it for the rest of my life." ”

Chen An glanced at her strangely, not understanding which was the real her, the calm and calm leader or the sensual girl in front of her. Chen An, who didn't know how to answer, popped out of his mouth: "Lord, it is better to turn the cabin in the wind and sun." ”

Jiang Xijun scolded with a smile: "You, just like the sixth uncle's old antique, no wonder he will take a fancy to you, let's gather like things." ”

I don't know why, she always has a feeling of distress when she looks at Chen An, the little guy who has been with a straight face all day long, and thinks of her younger brother who died early. Before, it was because he had to take care of the whole team, he was too busy, but now that he is free, he wants to chat with him, and he specially supports Jiang Qiu's annoying ghost, who knows that he was made to cry and laugh by his resemblance to the sixth uncle.

Looking at the other party's trembling appearance, Chen An's lips chattered, and he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Jiang Xijun waving his hand.

"I know what you're going to say, don't worry, this is already the depths of the Eastern Wilderness, it will take at least more than twenty days to reach here from Taiyi Pass, and it will take forty days to go back and forth, and with the equipment of the Changfeng Army, at most they can only support them to run for a month, which means that they can only go deep into the Eastern Wilderness for fifteen days at most, and they must return, otherwise they will be eroded by the bloody Yin Gang, and they will never go back. As for why they never went back, Shen Lin should have told you, right?

Jiang Xijun asked playfully, saw Chen An nodded, and continued: "The entire Twelve Cities are short of population, and the other families are now busy plundering people and resettlement, and they have no time to deal with us. Inhumans and Ancient Beasts generally do not attack a cloud ship that is peacefully moving. What else do you have to worry about?"

Chen An frowned, and asked strangely, "Twelve Liancheng?"

The environment of the Eastern Wilderness is so harsh, isn't the alliance of the twelve cities just to help each other and fight against the harsh living environment together, and there is even infighting?

Jiang Xijun stretched her backhand to the back of her head, inserted her slender five fingers into her dark and thick hair, scratched the back of her head, and said helplessly: "Yes, how can there be no fight where there are people." ”

"And the current Twelve Cities are not the same as before," thinking that Chen An would understand everything when he arrived in Qingfu City, so Jiang Xijun did not hide it: "Since the disaster more than a hundred years ago, the strength of the major clans has been greatly damaged, and many clans have lost their dominance over the city, and they have to compromise with foreign forces, or co-dominate, or take the other party as the lead, in order to continue to survive. Now the twelve cities are only Golden Phoenix City, Musang City, Qiyue City, Luqiao City and our Qingfu City, the five cities are still dominated by local forces, and the other seven cities are basically dominated by outsiders. ”

"Why did the Lord tell me this, aren't I also an outsider?" Chen An's eyes flashed, and then gradually disappeared, and asked quietly.

Jiang Xijun looked at him strangely and said, "How can you be an outsider? Haven't you already joined the Jiang family and used the soul card of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf?"

"What does this mean?" Chen An's face froze, is there anything else to say here?

"Didn't Uncle Sixth tell you?" Jiang Xijun said with a strange look on his face: "If you join the Gaoyang Clan, you are not an outsider, and you are using the soul level of our Gaoyang Clan, and you can only take the path of the Gaoyang Clan in the future, and it is very likely that the soul and body will be discordant and die in an explosion if you use the soul level of other paths, so it is impossible to defect." ”

Chen An'an was stunned, and he actually fell in love with Jiang Luhan, the old fox. Fortunately, he didn't want to defect, at present, it seems that this Gao Yang clan's background is not weak, but it can be relied on as a help, there is no point in defecting, and he has now broken the divine wheel, and he can take the road of refining qi, without relying on soul level promotion, and there is not much loss. But why is it so unhappy in my heart, there is a feeling that my IQ is being crushed, hey, I still don't understand the situation in the Eastern Wilderness, and the information is not equal.

Thinking like this, Chen An's mind couldn't help but turn to Jiang Xijun beside him, this woman is the lord of the Gaoyang clan, and her status is more respected than Jiang Luhan.

"Can the Lord tell me about the cultivation of the Eastern Wilderness?" After a little thought, Chen An still felt that it was better to ask directly, the clichΓ©s of Dong Laxi were not only obscene, but also unwise in front of Jiang Xijun and others, don't think that she is stupid and sweet in her harmless appearance now, she can dominate a family and make it so prosperous, no matter how you think about it, she will not be a good person.

"Yes", Jiang Xijun seemed to be completely unaware of Chen An's thoughts, and followed the topic and said: "In the Eastern Wilderness, I don't know the method of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea and the method of inheritance of aliens, but the twelve cities rely on supernatural secret techniques to cultivate. ”

The supernatural power is to practice Qi, and the secret art refers to the soul card.

In the practice of martial arts here, there is no mental method, guidance technique, internal strength and practice line at all, and there is no martial will and legal theory. Practicing Qi is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and cultivate the supernatural powers, exhaling the essence of heaven and earth to store the natal vitality, and cultivating the supernatural powers makes the cultivator's own life level sublimate and jump, simple and clear.

No wonder this rough and direct cultivation method requires a certain amount of talent, people who have no talent are forced to practice, not because they can't practice, but because they have not achieved anything, and the whole person will practice to death and be disabled.

As for the path of secret arts, it is simpler than the path of supernatural powers, directly obtained from the soul card, through the absorption and fusion of the soul card, the external force is injected into one's body, and the jump in the essence of life is obtained. This practice of attracting external force is more dangerous than cultivating supernatural powers, and if you can't practice supernatural powers, you can stop and stop practicing, stop losses in time, once the soul card is fused, you can only succeed, and if you don't succeed, you will die.

Such a bloody cultivation method made Chen An's whole person stunned, the introduction of Shen Lin who heard it last time thought it was another complex martial arts system, and he was very fascinated, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and rude, and couldn't help asking: "Won't there be too many hidden dangers to forcibly improve yourself with such a gravitational force?"

"Hidden danger, you mean danger, right?" Jiang Xijun smacked her lips: "How can there be no danger in practicing martial arts, even if it is the martial arts of the great cadres, it will also be angry, and it will also go crazy." What's more, it is not possible to survive peacefully in the Eastern Wilderness, is there any other choice than to strengthen oneself?"

Chen An was stunned, it was indeed a problem to survive, how could he still have the right to choose good or bad.

The corners of Jiang Xijun's mouth were slightly raised, the pear vortex was shallow, looking at Chen An's shocked appearance, she actually felt a little cute, and was about to say something more to tease Chen An, when her face suddenly changed, and she suddenly jumped up and threw Chen An to the ground.

Airplanes......

A thick pillar of white light grazed the cloud ship where Chen An was, and the cloud ship's shield was beaten into ripples, making an overwhelming humming sound.

At the same time, two pillars of light lit up, hitting another cloud ship, spreading its shield and piercing the deck.

The cloud ship that was hit by two pillars of light fell into the sea of clouds in a whirlwind, and the people on board did not know whether they were alive or dead.

And Jiang Xijun's cloud ship didn't have time to carry out the rescue at all, because the three huge ships with a length of more than 100 zhang broke through the sea of clouds and appeared above the clouds. After a brief cooling, the three metallic barrels had once again brewed a terrifying coercion, all locked onto the only cloud ship that had appeared in the clouds.

"It's an empty ship, it's a big dry empty ship, it's impossible, how is it possible, how can they be here. Jiang Xijun pushed Chen An away, turned over and sat up, and let out an exclamation of disbelief as he looked at the attacker who suddenly appeared.
