Volume 1 The First Entrance to the Mountain Gate Chapter 4 was pitted and ran away
Walking day and night, flying high from time to time to confirm the next direction, it took three days for Qin Qi to finally leave the mountain range.
The primeval forest was even more rugged and difficult to walk than Qin Qi imagined, although the Xuantian Mountain Range had already been swept back and forth many times by the high-ranking monks of Xuantian Mountain, leaving only some non-threatening beasts, but Qin Qi was still disgraced when he crossed the forest in the past few days.
Qin Qi decided to find a place to rest before setting off. Taking out the map, Qin Qi saw a square market highlighted outside the mountain, and it happened to be on the way.
Xuantianfang City is the largest gathering city of cultivators within a radius of several hundred miles.
Xuantian Mountain personally sent people to build it, and there are three religions and nine streams of people in it, and the huge flow of people has brought a lot of income, which is a relatively important industry in Xuantian Mountain.
Because there is a lot of oil and water in the patrol team in Fang City, it is generally served by inner disciples in turn, and the sect has also sent high-level monks to be stationed for many years to ensure the stability and security of Fang City.
Of course, this is not yet a clear understanding for Qin Qi.
The first thing Qin Qi did when he arrived here was to find a restaurant, go in and order all the signature dishes, and eat and drink directly.
The surrounding diners couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it, it was really Qin Begging who didn't look good, as if he had been hungry for a long time.
However, Qin Qi didn't care about the eyes of these people, his years of beggar life led to his habit of spitting at meals, and he never planned to change it.
After eating and drinking, Qin Qi left the restaurant with a full burp. He was not in a hurry to find an inn to rest, but walked around the market, although he had been an immortal cultivator for almost a year, this was the first time that Qin Qi had really come into contact with the immortal cultivation world, and his heart was full of curiosity.
Just as Qin Qi was leisurely shopping on the street, he didn't notice that there were already many malicious glances looking at him, but most of them looked away when they saw his standard Xuantian Mountain disciple dress, and only four eyes kept staring at him.
So much so that because Qin Qi had been shopping for too long and the four of them had been following for too long, they all discovered each other.
But even if they found each other, several people acted as if nothing happened, no one made a noise, and they wanted to eat fat sheep, each relying on their own ability.
Qin Qiren, who had no idea about this, wandered around Fang City with great interest. Of course, he wasn't wandering around, he was also purposeful. Compared with those orthodox brothers in the sect, he can be described as a novice who became a monk halfway through, and he doesn't understand anything.
The sect has set up a sermon platform on the mountain, and every month there will be a senior brother from the sect to explain, but it is only for some low-level monks who have doubts about their cultivation, but no one will talk about other information in the immortal cultivation world, and occasionally he hears a few fragmentary news from the senior brothers, and he can be regarded as a blind eye to the situation in the immortal cultivation world outside the mountain.
Therefore, Qin Qi specially went to crowded places to get information from people's conversations. Even the various shops that passed along the road, Qin Qi went in and walked around without falling behind.
For those items he didn't know, Qin Qi asked directly, and every time he asked the shopkeeper to be impatient, he quit and went to the next one.
However, Qin Qi still spent the money in the end.
A shrewd shopkeeper figured out Qin Qi's situation in a few words, and immediately recommended to him a travelogue, written by a monk who claimed to be an idle man during the foundation building period.
This monk was lucky enough to build a foundation, but he knew that there was no hope of getting married, and he was too lazy to establish a family and spread his branches. With a carefree nature, he began to travel around the world, and also wrote about his experiences along the way.
There are no monks above the Jindan in the sect, and there are even fewer high-level monks in the scattered cultivation, and they come and go without a trace.
The monk was alone and unrestrained, so no one would provoke him. In addition, the monk has a free and easy personality and is hospitable, and it can be said that his friends are spread all over the surrounding countries, and there are his friends on the southern islands.
So at first, his travelogue was still very valuable. However, now that the monk has been dead for many years, I don't know how many editions of the travelogue have been reprinted, and many of the information is outdated, and it has long been rotten on the street.
But Qin Qi doesn't know!
Listening to the boss's boasting, I was immediately moved. However, as soon as I heard that I wanted five spirit stones, I was immediately embarrassed, and it was a bit expensive.
He can only receive five spirit stones from the sect every month, and he usually uses them for cultivation immediately when he gets them, but this time he stayed when he went out, and it took two to buy a talisman from his senior brother, and now he only has three spirit stones on his body.
Glancing at the boss with a smile on his face, Qin Qi said embarrassedly: "Boss, I'm really embarrassed, I'm shy in my lower bag, and I only have three spirit stones on my body, I'm afraid I will live up to the boss's kindness." ”
The corner of the boss's eyes jumped, and his smile did not change: "Alas, somehow, when I met my brother today, I hit it off at first sight, and that's it, three spirit stones are three spirit stones, so I should make a friend." ”
After saying that, he stuffed the travelogue into Qin Qi's arms, and spread his other hand in front of Qin Qi.
Seeing this, the young Qin Qi also reacted, his face darkened, and he was fooled.
However, he was very interested in this travelogue essay of the monk of the foundation building, and felt that it should be helpful to him. So after thinking about it, I still took out two spirit stones.
"Oops, I'm mistaken, it turns out that there are only two pieces on my body, boss, look at this ......"
As soon as the words fell, the spirit stone in his hand had been taken away by the boss, and he looked like he was afraid that Qin Qi would regret it.
Seeing this, Qin Qi was too lazy to be polite, and he didn't say hello, he turned around and left.
The boss didn't care, put away the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Go slowly, welcome to come again next time." ”
Qin Qi, who left the store, was not in the mood to continue shopping, not only because he was cheated, but also because this travelogue was very attractive to him.
Went straight back to the inn and opened a room, Qin Qi was going to read through the travelogue in one breath today.
After looking at the shopkeeper who led the way, Qin Qi thought about it, and asked with the mentality of trying: "Little brother, do you know the idle monk?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Qi in surprise and said, "Of course I know, that is a famous figure in our Great Xuan Kingdom, and I have also read his travelogue, but he has been immortal for nearly a hundred years." ”
Qin Qi didn't expect that the shopkeeper really knew, it seemed that the monk was indeed quite famous. But it's been a hundred years since he died, and travelogues seem to be everywhere, so it's no wonder that this travelogue is worthless.
After thanking the shopkeeper and closing the door, Qin Qi slapped himself in annoyance, but the matter had come to this, and Qin Qi could only look at it with anticipation.
At this time, Qin Qi didn't know that in the rooms next to him, four people sat opposite each other, a middle-aged Taoist with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, with a hateful face, and the other two were twin brothers, but they were tall and short, and they looked a little funny.
The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, the twin brothers sat on the chair and closed their eyes and did not say a word, the strong man just ate the food without raising his head, and the middle-aged Taoist was slowly sipping tea.
After a long time, the middle-aged Taoist couldn't help but sigh and said, "Three fellow Daoists, let's just sit like this." ”
The shorter of the twin brothers opened his eyes and smiled, "It's not impossible, or let's compete now." ”
The middle-aged Taoist waved his hand again and again after hearing this, "I am not the opponent of your two brothers, but I have heard of your joint technique."
"However", the middle-aged Taoist changed his words, "No matter how strong the two noble brothers are, do they still dare to make a move against the disciples of Xuantian Mountain?" ”
Before the short man could answer, the strong man who had closed his eyes and rested after eating and drinking suddenly snorted coldly.
"Okay, Niubi, don't be coy there, since you're all sitting here, it means that you know everything in your heart. An outer disciple of the third layer of qi refining is just a disciple of the outer sect, and no one will notice it if it is dealt with cleanly, even if it is ten days and half a month later, Xuantian Mountain realizes that an outer disciple is missing, it is not certain whether he will send someone to investigate, and I will leave long ago. Since they don't want to give up this piece of fat, they are looking for opportunities here, but it's better to rely on their abilities. ”
Hearing the strong man's words, the middle-aged Taoist smiled, didn't say much, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, the twin brothers saw that the middle-aged Taoist was scolded by the strong man, but they didn't dare to refute, couldn't help but sneer, turned away.
The two brothers rented another house, so they didn't bother to share a room with them.
After a long time, Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he read the entire travelogue and gained a lot. Although some of the information was outdated, it at least gave him a general understanding of the cultivation realms of the surrounding countries.
Put away the book, seeing that it was already late at night, plus the wind and food in the past few days, I didn't bother to practice for a while, and checked that the formation that came with the room was okay, so I went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Qin Qi slept directly until noon the next day, and only felt refreshed after waking up.
Use a condensation technique and wash up a little. Then he ordered another table of mortal delicacies, and stuffed it into the sea, anyway, with his current stomach, he would not have any discomfort at all when he ate these ordinary fish, meat and wine.
After eating and drinking, Qin Qi breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and did not delay any longer, and walked directly towards the outside of Fang City after checking out.
At the same time that Qin Qi left the inn, several people in the other two rooms opened their eyes one after another, and soon left the inn to follow, it was obvious that they had a way to find out Qin Qi's whereabouts.
Qin Qi didn't notice this, he didn't hang out in the Fang Market today, and went out of the Fang Market directly.
Out of Fang City, turn a corner and walk a few hundred meters is a road, this is the official road of the Great Xuanguo, the official road is two zhang wide, the ground is flat and solid, looking at this road, Qin Qi can't help but think, the Great Xuanguo does not know how much manpower it took to repair this official road, and I don't know how much manpower it takes to maintain it every year.
After all, when he was a child, he had seen the officials in the city capture beggars to serve as conscripts, and he and the old man escaped because they were too young and old.
However, if you use an immortal cultivator, it will be much better, it will save time and effort, thinking of this, Qin Qi felt funny about his thoughts. How could the Great Xuan Kingdom drive the immortal cultivators to do the matter of labor, it was too late to worship, after all, he heard people mention the Great Xuan Imperial Family on the mountain, but he didn't have any awe.
Shaking his head, he calmed down the confusion of thoughts. Qin Qi took a Divine Talisman from the storage bag, stimulated it with mana and put it on his feet, he was going to try this Divine Talisman on this flat official road, and the senior brother who sold him praised it a lot. After pasting the Shenxing talisman, Qin Qi suddenly felt as light as a swallow, and he galloped away along the official road for several meters in one step.
At this time, in a forest to the east of Fang City, several middle-aged Taoists were discussing.
"When are we going to do it?"
"Don't worry, this kid has gone on the official road, and now it's too close to Fang City, let's talk about it farther away."
"Is there any place to ambush on the side of the official road?"
"Hmph, why ambush, a guy with a 3rd layer of qi refining, it is estimated that it is the first time to go out of the mountain, and he has no experience in fighting, just keep up, and kill him with one blow when no one is around."
After listening to the strong man's words, the twin brothers and the middle-aged Taoist nodded one after another, agreeing with this statement. Just as a few people were about to go around from the woods to Qin Qi to block him, their faces suddenly changed drastically.
"How can this kid be so fast?" The strong man roared.
"He used the Divine Talisman" The middle-aged Taoist gritted his teeth violently, "Don't go around in the woods, go directly to the official road to chase." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged Taoist took the lead in rushing to the official road. The strong man and the twin brothers, who didn't say anything, followed closely.
Originally, they wanted to go around from the woods to Qin Qi to lay an ambush in front of Qin Qi, so as not to startle the snakes, but now they can't care about this, they will definitely be thrown off if they go around the woods without flying magic weapons.
Several people do not have Shenxing talismans, and there are generally no people who are good at drawing talismans, and those talisman masters who are worshiped by the family merchant alliance rarely go to draw this kind of novice practice, resulting in the price of Shenxing talismans in the market is not low.
For their low-level casual cultivation where a spirit stone is divided into two petals, the cost performance of the Divine Talisman is too low. A few people had no choice but to use their mana to perform a light body technique, and chased after Qin Qi with all their might, but unfortunately there was still a gap compared to the Divine Talisman, so when a few people arrived at the official road, Qin Qi was already a black spot in the distance.
Several people looked at the black dots in the distance and looked at each other.
"How did this kid find out about us?" The twin brother yelled in annoyance.
The middle-aged Taoist couldn't maintain his smile, his face sank like water, and he didn't say much, he turned around and left with a flick of the dust.
The strong man's face on the side was not very good, but when he saw the expression of the middle-aged Taoist priest, he leaked a smile, as if he saw the middle-aged Taoist priest deflated, he was even happier, and he didn't say hello to the twin brothers, and went back to Fang City directly.
The twin brothers had nothing to do but get angry, and in desperation, they also left the place. A few people originally got together because they thought it was profitable, but now the duck to the beak has flew, and of course they don't bother to be false and wrong.
At this time, Qin Qi, who was running wildly all the way with the Divine Talisman, naturally knew nothing about what was behind him, and the reason why he used the Divine Talisman as soon as he left the market was because this was the first time he had used the Divine Talisman to hurry, and when he saw the flat and wide pipeline, he couldn't wait to try the feeling of galloping after using the Divine Talisman.
Of course, there are also some factors that Qin Qi lacks a correct understanding of the items in the cultivation realm, he doesn't feel that he is very luxurious, after all, the senior brother sells it very cheaply, he bought 4 pieces of a spirit stone, and he can buy 8 pieces of a travelogue that is about to rot on the street.
After using the Divine Talisman, Qin Qi could be described as fast as a galloping horse, running in a straight line on the flat avenue, and his speed was almost catching up with his own use of flying magic weapons. When the mortals along the way saw it, they all thought that it was a peerless martial arts master who was on the way.
After running for a while, Qin Qi slowly stopped.
Although after activating the Divine Talisman, he felt that the whole person was extremely light and effortless, but after running wildly for so long, he still felt a little tired, took off the Divine Talisman, looked at the sun, Qin Qi decided to continue on his journey, and it was not too late for him to find a place to rest when the sun went down.
