Chapter 1: The Deserted City
The streets are full of people. In this small border city, although there is not a bit of prosperity in the capital, there is a strong humanistic atmosphere, but there is a different taste.
Xiao Yu was a little depressed among the pedestrians on the side of the street, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Old thing, didn't you say that if you keep walking along the boundary of the Ice Forest, you can reach the Chilian Mountain Range, how did you get to this place?"
"Hehe, it's been a few hundred years, and it's changed a lot here......"
The sword spirit's voice was also a little helpless, obviously, the sword spirit had no way to deal with the situation in front of him.
Unable to get any useful answers from the sword spirit, Xiao Yu smiled proudly, then took out a map from the sword spirit space, and said to the sword spirit: "Fortunately, this young master is far-sighted, knowing that your words are unreliable, and he also asked my father for a map." Otherwise, if you want to go to the Red Flame Desert, who knows when?"
However, after just glancing at the map, Xiao Yu's face changed rapidly, his throat rolled slightly, and the smile on his face quickly collapsed.
Pinching a map in his hand, Xiao Yu wanted to cry without tears: "I have never seen such a superb patriarch, I can get the wrong map for me......"
The breeze blew, blowing the map in Xiao Yu's hand to hunt, and the "details of Shangjing City" printed on it was faintly visible. Obviously, this is not a standard map for going to the Chiyan Desert, but a map detail of five cents and eight cents in Shangjing!
At the same time, the inner courtyard of the Xiao family.
Lin Qingqing grabbed Xiao Baizhan's ears fiercely, his face was already full of anger, and he couldn't help but roar: "Xiao Baizhan, you did a good thing! Yu'er went out to practice, and it didn't matter if the family guards didn't arrange one, even you got the map wrong, do you sincerely want your child to suffer!"
Xiao Baizhan's face was embarrassed, he snorted a few times, and didn't dare to speak. When facing this tigress at home, the strength of his martial king is not useful at all.
Lin Qingqing pinched Xiao Baizhan's ears for a while, and his anger came out, but looking at Xiao Baizhan's only appearance, he was a little annoyed and said: "Xiao Baizhan, this time Yu'er comes back, I will clean you up again!"
Xiao Baizhan laughed a few times, and then muttered in a low voice: "If that kid can suffer, then it's a hell." Let him out, I don't know what those people outside will be made of by this kid......"
Of course, this sentence also made Xiao Baizhan taste the bitter fruit again, and he could only call Mrs. for spare his life again, so that he could avoid Lin Qingqing's blow......
............
In this way, with an unreliable map in his hand and an unreliable sword spirit by his side, Xiao Yu tragically found that he was lost.
This small city is full of people, but it seems that they are all ordinary people, Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the latter for a moment, and even some martial apprentice-level Xuan Xiu did not find it. It seems that compared to the cultivation style in the capital, there are really a lot fewer cultivators in these small cities.
Generally speaking, in a city without cultivators, it means one thing: the level of information circulation in this city is always much weaker than that in cities with many cultivators, so it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find out some news from these ordinary people as if it were to get some benefits from Jun Canghai.
Sighing, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the existence of a little brother like Zhang Fatzi when he was in the capital, and he only needed to move his mouth, and Fatman Zhang could do things beautifully for himself.
However, Zhang Fatzi is now ruthlessly locked up at home and grounded by Zhang, and the devil knows when he will be released. Therefore, this time he went out to practice, and he failed to inform Zhang Fatzi, which also made Xiao Yu feel a little regretful.
Three days have passed since Xiao Yu left Shangjing, and in these three days, according to the advice of the sword spirit, Xiao Yu has been traveling along the periphery of the ice forest, but he has not encountered any trouble.
However, what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that Sword Spirit, who was also a half-gentleman, would lead himself to such a place. Chilian Mountains, who knows in what direction in the city?
With a look in his eyes, the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth grinned slightly, and he walked quickly to a market where the crowd gathered, and with a flip of his wrist, he grabbed a person's hand, and that person's hand was still tightly holding a money bag.
"Brother, there are some faces, from outside, ...... is out of bounds."
The man was caught by Xiao Yu, and his expression flashed with a hint of panic at first, but then he calmed down. said slowly to Xiao Yu, who didn't seem to have the slightest awareness of being a thief.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept secretly sighing in his heart that the world was going down, and this thief's courage was inevitably too great.
However, Xiao Yu naturally doesn't care about these idle things, the business of this thief has nothing to do with him at all, what he wants from this thief is the news of this city.
In a city, especially in a rather lively location, these golden fingers are always indispensable to patronize. Xiao Yu does not discriminate against these professions, since they exist, they have the value of their existence. Although these thieves are quite despicable, their well-informed level is not inferior to ordinary Xuan Xiu. This city, even if there is wind and grass, cannot escape their ears and eyes.
Smiling slightly, Xiao Yu let go of the hand that grabbed the thief, and said slowly: "I don't have any interest in your plan to make a fortune. I just want to know some questions, I ask, you answer!"
Xiao Yu did not release his Xuan Qi, but as the Emperor Sword Master, he always had a bit of the momentum of the superior that others did not have. Therefore, even if Xiao Yu looks like an ordinary person now, the faint momentum of the superior exuded by his body is still not something that ordinary people can resist.
The thief just felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, he just felt cold to the bone, as if he had disobeyed the person in front of him, and the giant sword behind him would not hesitate to cut off his head.
Although it was only a faint premonition, the thief would never dare to gamble. Because, as long as you lose, you have to lose your own net worth and life! Anyone who chooses the profession of gold finger is, to a certain extent, meticulous as a hair, however, to another extent, it can also be said that they are greedy for life and afraid of death. In front of Xiao Yu, a bad star, how could the thief have the heart to resist?
The thief lowered his eyebrows and said happily: "No problem, as long as it is in this deserted city, no matter how big or small, I can tell you." ”
Xiao Yu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "You just said, where is this?"
"Deserted City ......"
The thief did not hesitate, and immediately said to Xiao Yu: "It is a small border city of the Dahua Dynasty, and after leaving this city, you will enter the neighboring Mosha Dynasty." ”
"It's on the border......"
Xiao Yu sighed slowly in his heart, he originally thought that the territory of his dynasty was not small, but in just three days, he had taken most of the boundary line of the entire dynasty. This Dahua Dynasty is really small and pitiful!
Putting away the faint boredom in his heart, Xiao Yu asked again: "How far is the Chilian Mountain Range from this city?"
Xiao Yu just asked casually, after all, he didn't know which part of the dynasty territory this deserted city was located in. Ask this thief, just with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.
However, when Xiao Yu asked this sentence, the thief's expression changed suddenly, and there was some hesitation between the words.
"Your Excellency...... Also to the Chilian Mountains?"
A hint of panic suddenly flashed in the thief's eyes, but when he talked to Xiao Yu, he was obviously much more humble. There is obviously a big difference from the previous fear.
Xiao Yu keenly noticed the reaction of the thief in front of him, as soon as he mentioned the Chilian Mountain Range, the thief's face changed so much, could it be that this Chilian Mountain Range was still famous?
Secretly thinking in his heart, Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and his tone suddenly became cold: "So, do you know where the Chilian Mountain Range is located?"
Quickly changing his face, the thief lowered his head and said respectfully: "Chilian Mountain Range...... Located outside the city of this deserted city, it will only take half a day to get there. ”
With a sneer, Xiao Yu stared at the thief's eyes, and suddenly asked in a hurry: "So, I just mentioned the Chilian Mountain Range, why are you reluctant to tell me?"
The thief was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, and said with a somewhat bitter expression: "Chilian Mountain Range, it's been a little unquiet recently...... Most of the cultivators in the deserted city were heading towards the Chilian Mountain Range. ”
"Before they left, they had already told me that if someone asked about the Chilian Mountain Range, they must deal with it carefully, and if they can hide it, they must try to hide it......
Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "What happened to the Chilian Mountain Range, how could it attract so many cultivators?"
The thief looked stunned, as if he was hesitating something, and finally smiled bitterly:
"In the Chilian Mountain Range, a thunder beast has appeared!"
