Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bluestone Chips

After driving for a few days, there is less and less dirt to see, and finally there is an endless rock, this is a huge land made of rocks, and you can see many curved black lines on this land, they are of different sizes, different shapes, and distributed on this hard earth in an orderly manner, these are the only roads connecting the west and south continents, and this is the most famous ant road in the Tiangang world.

Ant Road is rich in mineral resources, in addition to the dispute between Xizhou and Nanzhou on the sword road, the most important reason is because of the ownership of the ant road, which is just like dividing the land of Zhongzhou now, but the history of the ant road is longer.

"Tao Da, you just get here, it is estimated that you will meet the sentry in front, I am not sure that I will clear the customs layer by layer, along the way, thank you." ”

It is naturally safe to take the official road, but the procedures required are cumbersome, the ant road is half of Xizhou and Nanzhou, and it is not easy to open up the joints of these two hostile forces, and if you don't take the official road, you must face the terrain with no rules at all, so you must not use a carriage, and this place is densely populated, and your life may be in danger at any time, so Li Xian had to let Tao Yong stop.

Tao Yong slowly stopped the carriage, there is no banquet in the world, he led Li Xian to the car, and then hugged his fists and said: " I Tao Yong will not say anything beautiful, fortunately Blacksmith Li you chose me to give you a ride, it really makes me very happy, always want to go slower, so that Blacksmith Li you change your mind and stay in our Crockpot Town, but these days I have also figured it out, it is a pity that a master like you stays in the small Crockpot Town, in fact, almost everyone in the town knows that you are leaving that day, but since you are not willing to let us see us off, we will follow your wishes, you don't know that on the day after you asked me to send you out of the customs, the water in my small courtyard was blocked, and the well water was dried up several times, and finally with everyone's unanimous consent, we handed over the wine gourd left by Boss Sun to you without authorization, know that you are a wine lover, this wine gourd is a rare treasure. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed Li Xian with a dark orange gourd without saying anything, and continued: "And the little lady of the Du family asked me to bring you a message, so I said, 'I'm sorry, thank you.'" ’”

The wine gourd is indeed a good thing, not only can it contain a lot of wine, but it can also hold two different wines at the same time without mixing, this is a terrible thing for Old Man Sun's baby, but unfortunately now he can only cheapen himself, as for Du Yinglan's words without a beginning and no end, it is probably an apology for the tantrum that day and a thank you for saving her, but from the words, Li Xian can feel that Du Yinglan has seen it, this is indeed a rare strange woman who can afford to take it and put it down.

He smiled and nodded, and was about to say something goodbye, when he suddenly heard a sharp hoof sound.

Tao Yong was startled, so he wanted to lead the horse to avoid, just because looking at the outfits of those people, it turned out to be bandits, but Li Xian grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide, they are not coming for us, and even if you want to hide now, you can't hide it, it's better to wait and see what happens." ”

Sure enough, the dozen or so horses rushed straight away like a frenzy, and immediately their whole bodies were attached to the horses, as if they were running away from some terrible pursuer.

But as far as the eye can see, there is a dead rocky land, and apart from these few horses, there is no shadow of people and horses behind them.

Tao Da said in a lost voice: "What's going on with these people? What are they running away from?"

Li Xian's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You have been walking here all the year round, and you have never encountered such a thing?"

Tao Da's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Although I haven't encountered it myself, I have really heard a lot of strange things on the ant road, but I can be sure that once I encounter such a thing, it is best to make myself a blind person." ”

Before Li Xian could speak, he saw the horses galloping wildly, and they had fallen from exhaustion, and immediately rolled on the ground, and then jumped up.

There was still a horse and a man galloping, but a man with a sword with long hair scattered shot the fast horse with a sword.

The horse died, and the man rolled to the ground.

Although their clothes are not like the sentry guards of Nanzhou and Xizhou, they definitely come from the same place, how can they not let their companions run? Moreover, as a sword master, throwing a sword before reaching the Qingxu Realm is undoubtedly a suicide.

It would be nice if the people behind the swordsman were all with him, but the problem was that a bald-headed sword-wielding man closest to him had already slashed at his head, what was the situation?

Li Xian turned his head to look around suspiciously, Tao Yong had really closed his eyes, and what was even more ridiculous was that the little fox actually buried its little head in Li Xian's arms, please, you are the former Seven Sages of Tiangang, a little bold, okay?

He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I'm the only one who is not afraid of death, maybe I should add those who killed each other in front." ”

Soon the dust settled, and there were a few more dead horses on the ground, and five or six corpses of bandits.

These are the bandits who have been active in the ant road all the year round, and it can be said that they are more familiar with the environment here than the sentinels who were planted here in the south and west continents, but they ended up like this, which shows that it is indeed not a safe thing not to take the official road.

He patted Tao Yong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go back soon." ”

Tao Yong's face was a little pale and said: "Blacksmith Li, I see that you still have prepared the customs clearance espionage, and it is not too late to go to Xizhou." ”

Li Xian smiled: "I'll think about it, you can leave quickly, after coming out for so many days, the family should also be worried." ”

Tao Yong knew that his persuasion was in vain, this place was deserted, where to find any espionage, but thinking of Li Xian's ability, he was relieved a lot, and he felt that it was a dead end, not necessarily for others.

After thinking about it, he got into the carriage neatly and returned the same way.

Li Xian smiled and shook his head, he didn't mention the matter of paying the silver, just because it would only be a waste of words, and it would definitely not be done, so when Tao Da closed his eyes, he had quietly put a bag of silver on his car. The people of Crockpot Town are not easy, and with a bully family like the Zhang family, it is strange that it is easy to live.

When he could no longer see the carriage, he came to the corpses and examined them carefully.

These people's skin is a little white, but in this exposed environment, if they want to get white, there is no other way than to hide in the cave, but as a robber, no one cares whether their skin is black or white, and the only possibility that can keep them in the cave is only the minerals here in the ant road.

"It seems that these bandits have discovered a mine, but they have encountered some strange things in the process of mining. ”

He turned over each corpse, and they had a common characteristic, that is, everyone's eyes showed fear and madness, and their clothes and hair had cyan stone chips, it seemed that the ore in the hollow must be cyan, and the source of these strange things must be in the mine.

Li Xian got up, and then went on the road, since he couldn't see the reason now, it was useless to think about it, it was better to follow the direction in which the robbers came, maybe there would be some discovery
