Chapter 17: The Hengduan Mountains
High in the sky, Qi Ming still sat with Wang Shuo and Liu Jing in the same flower carving, the two injured people spoke too little, and Qi Ming could also quietly watch the beautiful scenery along the way.
Looking at the mountains and rivers speeding under his feet, Qi Ming couldn't help but think thoughtfully, his eyes were empty, and his mind kept floating to the scene of the confrontation between Liu Ba and everyone in the restaurant just now.
Thinking of Wang Shuo, Liu Jing and others, they were seriously injured by Liu Ba without any warning, and if there was no Jiang Yuanzi, it would have been even more tragic.
Thinking of this, Qi Ming's heart couldn't help but be cold, even if you are a genius, in front of the strong, you don't have any chance to resist and breathe.
The law of the weak eats the strong, and the strong are respected, such a cruel law of reality, Qi Ming is the first time to truly experience.
Qi Ming looked into the distance in a daze, his empty eyes gradually became smart and resolute, here, Qi Ming once again warned himself in his heart:
"To become stronger, only by becoming strong can you gain a firm foothold in this world"
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, blinking, and the clear blue sky burns with burning clouds.
The flower carving is like the sun falling into the western mountain, moving with the waves and falling to the ground.
This is already in Dongshan County, and the radius of the foot is full of forests, sparsely populated, and through a few curling white smoke, you can see several villages scattered around.
On the flower carving that swooped down, Qi Ming tightly grasped the rope strap on the saddle, squinting to see the situation around him.
Now it is towards the nearest village, Qi Ming judged as he watched the trend of the flower carving.
Soon, as the flower carving fluttered its wings down, layers of fallen leaves flew up on the ground, and the three flower carvings landed smoothly in front of the village that was burning with cooking smoke.
Qi Ming followed behind the two injured people, climbed down the soft ladder, and looked at the small fenced courtyard not far in front of him, and a smile appeared on Qi Ming's face.
The nose sniffed, and a smell of rice mixed with the earthy fragrance came bustlingly.
Xu is used to staying in the village, and he likes Qi Ming inexplicably here.
"Uncle Shi, what are we doing in this kind of place?"
Walking up to Jiang Yuanzi, Liu Jing looked at the village in front of him with a disgusted expression, and said to Jiang Yuanzi.
"Keep your mouth shut!" Jiang Yuanzi scolded with a pale face.
For this disciple who is not angry, the previous anger has not yet dissipated, and now seeing Liu Jing talking like this again, he is speechless and does not have any good face to directly scold.
"Uncle Shi. ”
Liu Jing didn't know what he had done wrong, and said aggrievedly.
Jiang Yuanzi didn't bother to pay attention, looked at Qi Ming and a few people and said:
"We are estimated to be targeted by the Thousand Demon Sect, let's take as little rest as possible during this time, and hurry up. As for the city, we can avoid it, and if we want food, we still come to this village to forage for food. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanzi looked at Qi Ming ashamedly, "Qi Ming, I have wronged you during this time." ”
Qi Ming smiled: "The predecessors are serious, I grew up in this village, and I still have the habit of eating the food here." ”
"Hmm. ”
Qi Ming's answer made Jiang Yuanzi very comfortable, and there would be no psychological pressure. Ying thought of his uncompetitive disciple again, who was more popular than others, and after glancing at Liu Jing fiercely, he continued:
"If anyone dares to say more in a while, the sect's criminal law will serve and will not be tolerated!"
With that, he led a few people to the village.
In the small village, seeing such immortal cultivators arrive, they are very enthusiastic and a little frightened at the same time, ordinary people are like ants in front of them, and now the sudden visit of the immortals can't help but make some people think more.
But fortunately, with Jiang Yuanzi watching, nothing happened, and after quickly changing the dry food, everyone did not eat but sat directly on the flower carving and left.
Because of his identity, Jiang Yuanzi still decided to let them eat on Huadiao, so that they could not only fill their stomachs, but also shorten the time of the journey, and the most important thing was that there would be no unnecessary trouble.
On the flower carving, the cool wind came, Qi Ming shrank and took out the corn tortillas he had exchanged, and ate them one bite at a time.
The sweet and familiar taste spread, and Qi Ming smiled contentedly.
But at that moment, his joy was interrupted by a disgusting word.
"What kind of food is this, feed the pigs, it's hard to eat!"
Qi Ming looked at it with disgust, Liu Jingzheng broke the tortilla in his hand with disgust, and muttered in his mouth to pinch the small pieces of corn tortillas into crumble powder and throw them away with the wind.
Qi Ming frowned, and finally couldn't hold back the accusation: "If you don't want to eat, you can not eat, please speak with respect." ”
When they were in Axe Village, tortillas were the staple food they often ate, and now that Liu Jing was so insulted, the anger in Qi Ming's heart rose to the extreme.
Liu Jing was stunned, glanced at Jiang Yuanzi who was flying in front of him, remembered the difference between him and Qi Ming, and felt resentful in his heart, looked at Qi Ming and said disdainfully: "What I say is my freedom, what are you, take care of yourself." ”
As he spoke, he continued to crush the tortilla in his hand while continuing to mumble on his lips.
"This kind of food eaten by the countrymen is what you people are used to. ”
Qi Ming, speechless with anger, with a trace of remorse, how could I negotiate with such a person.
In annoyance, he turned his head and ignored it, but at this time, Qi Ming saw Wang Shuo sitting in front of him turn his head, Qi Ming noticed that Wang Shuo's face was extremely pale, and turned around and looked at Liu Jing directly.
"Senior Brother Liu, I'm also from the countryside, am I one level lower than you!"
"Uh~"
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed smile: "Senior brother, senior brother said unintentionally just now, don't take it to heart." ”
Seeing that Liu Jing's attitude instantly turned 360 degrees, Qi Ming was speechless.
But Liu Jing's next move made him admire, only to see Liu Jing say, picked up the remaining corn tortilla in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it stiffly, licked his face and smiled:
"I didn't expect this cake to be quite delicious, but it was the senior brother who lost his words just now. ”
"It seems that the wicked have their own evildoers. Qi Ming thought to himself.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Shuo, curious in his heart, what kind of chance made Wang Shuo's status in the Tianshan Sect so high now.
When night fell, the cold wind hit, and Qi Ming's body on the flower carving shrank even tighter, in order to avoid some secret troubles in a hurry, they also had to hurry at night.
Qi Ming took out the old clothes in the package, draped them on his body and wrapped himself in layers, the night was a hot summer, and the air flow above the sky was also so cold that it made people shiver.
Qi Ming looked at Liu Jing on the side and Wang Shuo in front of him, and found that they were sleeping with their eyes closed, and Liu Jing even let out a slight exhalation.
Qi Ming shrank back, with a hint of envy in his eyes, if he also formed a Yuan Nucleus, he would not be afraid of these colds.
The moon is like a silver plate, under the bright starry sky, Qi Ming is cold and unable to sleep, shrinking under the wrapping of old clothes, looking at the starry sky overhead.
In the sleepless night, only this crescent moon and starlight made Qi Ming feel a trace of comfort and warmth.
No, what else.
Tilting his head and looking at the long sword that was as cold as frost, Qi Ming pursed his lips and smiled, in the cold night, the sword heart in his chest was still hot and hot.
The stars are moving, the sun rises and the moon is constant, and the days of half a month between the hurried roads are in the past.
Sitting on the flower carving, Qi Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a continuous mountain range appear in the sky in front of him, which stretched horizontally for thousands of miles to cut off the sky in the distance.
A smile appeared on Qi Ming's face, it was the Hengduan Mountain Range, the Demon Beast Mountain Range that separated the Tree Country and the Wendao Academy, and after crossing that mountain range, he would reach the boundary of the Wendao Academy.
After hurrying on the 15th, they finally passed through the range of Dongshan County and came to the Hengduan Mountains.
Looking at the mountains in the distance, Qi Ming sighed that it was fortunate that Tianshan City was not far from Wendao Academy, if the southernmost part of the Tree Country wanted to catch up with Wendao Academy's enrollment, it would have to set off at least a year ago.
Qi Ming looked at the sun that was about to set in the distance, and slowly took out the dry food in his pocket, Huang Zeze's tortillas.
This is the dry food they prepared at noon, Jiang Yuanzi said that he would not go down to eat tonight, and he would have to hurry up, they were all puzzled at that time, and at this moment Qi Ming looked at the mountains in the distance and understood Jiang Yuanzi's good intentions.
Qi Ming looked at the mountains in the distance, and guessed that if he had traveled overnight, he should be able to reach the foot of the Hengduan Mountain Range before dawn.
Dusk into the cold night, the moon is like a silver plate, under the bright galaxy Qi Ming shrunk his body, and soon fell asleep.
After a dream, Qi Ming felt a light appear in front of him, and his eyes moved and slowly opened.
In the gray sky, surrounded by water vapor, Qi Ming rubbed his still hazy eyes, and looked in the direction of the Hengduan Mountain Range, only to see the winding and continuous mountain range in the distance in front of his eyes, which was less than a kilometer away at this moment.
The endless mountain range is like a winding and dormant dragon, majestic and majestic, and the clouds and mist that surround the sky are seen from high above across thousands of miles, covering the dragon tightly, only a little lush exposed between the wind and clouds, you can see the face of this mountain range.
Seeing this, Qi Ming's whole person entered a state of sluggishness, his eyes were huge, and his ruddy mouth opened slightly unconsciously.
Hengduan Mountain Range, the famous Warcraft Mountain Range on the mainland, and its Xinghai Forest, which covers millions of miles, has given birth to countless demon beasts and spirit beasts, and the world is rare.
When there were still a few kilometers to the Hengduan Mountains, the flower carvings began to fall downward.
Looking from above, Qi Ming saw the silent village below, and the city standing far away.
Seeing that city, Qi Ming's mind quickly brought information about that city to life.
It is the Senhai Fortress, a place to provide supplies for mercenaries, medicine merchants, caravans, experienced monks, etc., and a place to provide flying mounts for those who want to climb through the Star Sea Forest.
Xinghai Forest, covering millions of miles, is a paradise for demon beasts and spirit beasts, and there are more than fifteenth-order spirit beasts in the depths of the forest, and no one can cross here with manpower alone.
Only by flying a mount to fly thousands of meters in the air can you pass relatively safely.
Qi Ming looked at the village at his feet, and without thinking about it, it was obvious that the place they were going to was not Senhai Fortress, but the village below.
Jiang Yuanzi has been guarding against the Thousand Demon Sect for half a month, and now that he has reached this last step, Jiang Yuanzi does not dare to relax.
