Chapter 1 Freedom
Breeze.
Blowing ......
Under the breeze, it seems to be connected to the earth into a reed thicket, constantly swaying with the wind......
In the swaying, the soul also flew into the distance with the continuous swaying of the reeds, and flew to the vast sky......
Blue sky.
White clouds.
Standing in this endless reed, my heart and thoughts are flying freely.
The picture is as beautiful as a poem.
On the edge of this beautiful reed, a figure with a leisurely, casual, and peaceful atmosphere slowly emerges from the inside.
The pace is slowly moving forward.
Step by step, trampling on the ground and bending the tender grass.
The white jade arm is sliding through the reeds......
It seems to be enjoying the softness when the fingers collide with the reeds, and it seems to be enjoying the rare sunny day under the sky.
It seems that in this tranquility and breeze, I am savoring the sublimation of the soul.
......
Long.
A horse-drawn carriage gradually drove rapidly on the main road by the reeds, and the sound of the axle turning was so clear in this quiet environment.
The carriage is the kind of commercial carriage that looks quite huge, the space design in this ** car is very reasonable, even if it is seven or eight people, it will not feel crowded, before and after the carriage, there are four middle-aged knights with swords hanging from their waists, looking at the reeds with a wary face, as if guarding, protecting the safe passage of the carriage on the right road.
A moment later, the eyes of the middle-aged man leading the way in front of the carriage suddenly shrank, and he keenly saw a figure walking slowly forward along the side of the road, along the reeds.
It was a man in Tsing Yi who looked twenty-six or seventeen years old, the man's appearance was not handsome, but he had an indescribable temperament, especially the slightly snow-white hair, swaying in the wind, which added a strange charm to him.
The man in green clothes walked by the reeds, his expression was full of peace and quiet, and he stood there as if he had become a whole with the whole reeds, so harmonious that it was impossible to find any fault.
However, it is this kind of scene that is so harmonious that you can't find anything wrong that is the biggest problem.
There is no other reason for this......
The location where this reed is located is called Yandang Lake, and Yandang Lake is one of the most dangerous locations on the road from Qinghong City to Wenjian Mountain.
In this land ravaged by demonic beasts, even the wilderness that has not been specially marked is full of dangers, not to mention Yandang Lake, which is already a third-level dangerous land?
In the third-level dangerous land, there are high-level demonic beasts infested, and there are only two possibilities for a man who can remain unharmed here and move forward safely.
First, he was ignorant of the dangers of the outside world, and had never set foot in the world outside the city or sect, so that he could turn a blind eye to the famous Yandang Lake.
It's just that it is not difficult to see from the vicissitudes of life that this man seems to have experienced many things, that he definitely does not belong to the kind of fledgling young junior.
Well, there is only the second possibility.
He is a master of art and boldness, and he doesn't take Yandang Lake, which is only a third-level dangerous place, in his eyes at all, so that he knows that there may be high-level demonic beasts in Yandang Lake, and he still has the mood and interest to walk around the lake.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man stepped forward slightly, arched his hand at the man in green clothes, and said politely: "Xu Hu at the Broken Knife Gate in Xiaqinghong City, you are polite here." ”
The man in Tsing Yi who was walking along the reeds heard the voice, slowed down, turned around, looked at Xu Hu, who had reported his name, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Xu Hu is also an old Jianghu, the distance between Qinghong City and Wenjian Mountain, he has to run two or three times a month, depending on the ability of people, this man in Tsing Yi gives him a gentle and elegant feeling, at first glance, he is not a great evil, and considering his previous speculation, he hurriedly spoke again: "This young man, this road only leads to Wenjian Mountain, and Shaoxia should also go to Wenjian Mountain, right?"
The man in Tsing Yi didn't speak, still just nodded.
"Right now, there are still two days away from asking Jianshan, Shaoxia doesn't seem to have a mount, my carriage, there are still a few vacant seats, if Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, I might as well move forward together, along the way, there is a good response, I don't know what Shaoxia wants?"
"Heh......"
The man in Tsing Yi in front chuckled, looked at Xu Hu in front of him, and said, "Now that the world is chaotic, demonic beasts are rampant, and the system is collapsing, aren't you afraid that I am a villain with bad intentions?"
"Haha, I, Xu Hu, have been in the cultivation world for more than ten years, although my cultivation is mediocre, I still have some confidence in my ability to see people, the temperament of the young man is peaceful and peaceful, and those who have this temperament are by no means a great evildoer. ”
Xu Hu laughed and said his guess, and at the end, he added: "Besides, the real sinister people, in the face of the many powerhouses of our Holy Light Empire's First Sword Sect established on the Wenjian Mountain, it is too late to avoid them, how can they take the initiative to go?"
The man in Tsing Yi did not stop at Xu Hu, but walked to the reeds beside him, looked at the reeds for a while, selected a reed that grew well, folded it off, and held it in his hand, and then glanced at Xu Hu and nodded slightly: "I'm tired." ”
Seeing the man in Tsing Yi answer, Xu Hu's face showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly said, "Young man, please in the car." ”
As he spoke, he introduced the man in Tsing Yi into the carriage.
This kind of commercial carriage has a lot of internal space, and it is not a problem to sit seven or eight people, but there are only six people in the carriage at the moment, and if you count the man in Tsing Yi, it is only seven people, which is not crowded.
The six people in the car, two of them, were obviously the same guards as Na Xu Hu.
Qinghong City is about 560 kilometers away from Wenjian Mountain, although the surname of this carriage is good, but it is estimated that it will travel about 200 kilometers a day, plus cooking halfway, and the time to rest at night, it will also take three full days.
And in this wilderness where monsters are raging, it is impossible to rest at night without letting people sentry, and naturally there will be people who lack sleep and must change shifts.
In addition to the two guards, the other four were also divided into two groups.
The three people on one side are a middle-aged man, a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and a woman of twenty-five or sixteen, dressed as a guard.
The other is a ten-year-old young man, who looks dressed up, but also has the demeanor of a young man, with a stainless steel sword beside him, but he doesn't know what his strength is.
The arrival of the man in Tsing Yi did not cause any movement in the carriage, and after the two guards nodded at him, they continued to recover their spirits, and the other few, the middle-aged man wanted to be polite with the man in Tsing Yi, but he saw the two guards who closed their eyes and recuperated their minds, but it was not good to disturb the two, but they just nodded at the man in Tsing Yi and signaled, and the remaining few looked at him a few times, but they didn't look at it anymore.
The carriage stopped for a moment and started again.
Under the preoccupation of the four guards, they walked through the eight-kilometer Yandang Lake without danger.
"Whew. ”
Out of the range of Yandang Lake, the four guards outside the carriage were obviously relieved, and their tense expressions were also a lot more relaxed.
"It's about to be the succession ceremony of the first sword sect of our Holy Light Empire, the sect master of the Linmen Sword Sect, recently on this road, there have been a lot more masters coming and going, and the powerful demonic beasts have been cleaned up several times, otherwise, how can Yandang Lake be so calm. ”
"Next, there is only one second-level dangerous land left, but from time to time there are many disciples of the Linmen Sword Sect on that forest mountain to sweep down the mountain, and now, the name of the second-level dangerous land, I am afraid that it will also exist in name, and there are not many middle-level demonic beasts left, basically low-level demonic beasts are the majority. ”
Out of Yandang Lake, the four guards relaxed their expressions, and they already had the intention of chatting.
"Although the demonic beasts of the Good Night Forest are swept by many young heroes of the Forest Gate Sword Sect, however, that forest is a little bigger after all, with a vertical and horizontal area of more than two hundred kilometers, even if we are just passing by, it is still not to be underestimated, I Xu Hu walked in the wilderness, relying on caution, if it weren't for being cautious at all times, now, I am afraid that it has already been the same as those predecessors in the door, the corpse wilderness, you also remember, don't take it lightly because a few trips this month have gone relatively smoothly. ”
"Yes, brother. ”
"Got it, Boss Xu. ”
"Yes. ”
The three guards next to him hurriedly responded.
After a while, the young guard named Xu Hu as his senior brother slowly came to Xu Hu's side and whispered: "Senior brother, why did we let that person get into the car, he didn't give the car money, we ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Xu Hu's stern expression, the young guard didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly agreed.
"You don't want to think about it, that man, if he doesn't have a little strength, dare to walk around in the wilderness alone? Moreover, there is no village in front of Yandang Lake, no shop in the back, and the nearest rest base is a day's journey, that is to say, he has been walking in the wilderness for a day, in the environment where more and more demonic beasts are raging in recent years, in a day, he may not encounter any demonic beasts? But there is nothing embarrassed on his body, so it is speculated that this man has a good time** , is a real master, those ordinary monsters, there is no way to get close to his body, so he died under his sword, such a master, once he encounters danger, it is a great help, he is willing to get into our car, it is our luck, you still want the car money!?"
"I see!"
"In the future, we will be able to beg for food outside, in addition to sharpening our cultivation, we should not ignore the aspect of looking at people. ”
"Yes, brother. ”
