The first volume has a sword from the west Chapter 9 is a young man without any will
Whether you come to Qingyang County or leave Qingyang County, what you are most worried about is the demon beast.
In the entire Qingyang County, except for the south, there are demon beasts on almost all three sides, and to go to Huayang Sect, you have to go out of the city from the east.
The horseman who drove the car was a man of few words, and he didn't talk much along the way, of course, he was worried about encountering monsters.
The carriage is not big, and it is a little crowded for the two of them, not to mention that Xu Bansheng alone can be worthy of Li Xiuping and two people, but fortunately, Li Xiuping's body is slightly thin, otherwise the two of them are crowded in a small carriage, it will definitely be uncomfortable, but it is much better than walking.
"How long does it take to go to Huayang Sect?" Li Xiuping looked at Xu Bansheng and asked.
Xu Bansheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't walked through." ”
He then explained: "It was my first time to come to Qingyang County, and it was the master who carried us directly with a magic weapon, and it took three days, and at this rate, I am afraid it will take about a month to walk. ”
Li Xiuping nodded, this time is acceptable, mainly because the travel expenses he brought can only last for more than a month at most, and Xu Bansheng doesn't have any money on him, after buying the roast chicken before, he can't even take half of it out of his pocket.
Originally, Gao Yunmian insisted on giving Li Xiuping some silver money from the fortress, but Li Xiuping refused, but Li Xiuping felt that it should be for the groom who drove the car. But even so, I'm afraid it won't last long.
Although Li Xiuping has never been out much, he has been walking outside with his master before, so he knows that walking around outside costs money.
Li Xiuping glanced outside, it happened to be the place where he met the Chen family that night, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Since they were able to meet the foundation building demon beast here, maybe they would meet it again this time, and they could deal with ordinary demon beasts, but if they met the foundation building demon beast again, it would be a huge trouble.
Xu Bansheng seemed to know Li Xiuping's worries, and said with a smile: "Although my master picked the door, he left me a little thing after all, and it is no problem to deal with demon beasts, don't worry." ”
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The head of the Huayang Sect is also a strong man in the Jindan period, and it is impossible for him to throw his apprentice in Qingyang County, which is full of demon beasts, without a backhand. If you want to deal with demon beasts, these immortal cultivators do have more methods, or more direct, and although the Night Walking Division also has methods and means to deal with demon beasts, it is indeed inferior to cultivators, otherwise they would not have collected so much information about demon beasts.
After staying in the Night Division for two years, Li Xiuping knew very well that the Night Division was able to know the weaknesses of the demon beasts, in fact, they were all exchanged for the lives of countless people, such as the Gou Lian he killed before, that is, he used the lives of a team of twenty people in exchange for the weakness that Gou Lian could only hear but not see.
After the Night Walking Division got the information of these demon beasts, it was revised into a book and read it to the people of Qingyang County, so that everyone could understand the information of the demon beasts and know how to deal with them after encountering them.
It can be said that the company has done a lot for Qingyang County in the past two Chinese New Year's Eve, which is why Li Xiuping admires Gao Hongmian. A female streamer, and she has no cultivation, but she can lead the Night Walking Division to be stationed in such a place as Qingyang County, and successfully helped Qingyang County resist the demon beasts for two years, and it is impossible to do it as an ordinary person.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but glance back at Qingyang County, which was gradually moving away.
I don't know when I will come back, and I don't know if Qingyang County will still be there when I come back next time......
The carriage went forward like this for a while, and did not encounter any demon beasts, and the man who drove the car said at this time: "Li Gongzi, we are afraid that we will spend the night in the mountains tonight, and if we go further, it is Qixia Mountain, which is fine during the day, but the demon beasts are extremely active at night, so it is not easy to hurry." ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "It's okay, find an open place to station, and cross the Qixia Mountain early tomorrow morning." ”
The man who was driving the car answered.
Li Xiuping asked again: "After passing the Seven Gorges Mountain, is it Chu Xincheng?" ”
The man who was driving the car nodded and said, "That's right, after entering Chu Xincheng, it will be safe." Now the Night Division has sent two directors to cooperate with the government to set up a defense line in Chu Xincheng, and then Gao will also withdraw to Chu Xincheng, and then there will be three leaders in Chu Xincheng, who will definitely be able to resist the demon beasts. ”
Li Xiuping said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, now Chu Xincheng can still be safe and sound, because there is a barrier in Qingyang County, once Qingyang County is abandoned." If there is a beast tide, Chu Xincheng will bear the brunt, and because of the geographical location of Chu Xincheng, all the demon beasts will gather in Chu Xincheng, and the pressure on Chu Xincheng will only be greater than that of Qingyang County at that time. ”
The man smiled and said: "Li Gongzi is worthy of being a person who is favored by Gao Zhangshi, at such an age, he can understand everything, which is really remarkable." ”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "This is all what Sister Gao told me, I haven't even been to Chu Xincheng, where can I know this." ”
The man smiled, did not speak, and drove the carriage on.
After walking like this for a while, the carriage stopped, and then Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng walked out of the carriage.
Standing on the carriage and looking forward, they could see the misty mountains in front of them, and the place where they were at the moment was the only flat land in this world, and the grass was green.
It should be that it is really uncomfortable to stay in the carriage, Xu Bansheng jumped out of the carriage directly, stretched his body on the ground, glanced left and right, and said, "The scenery here is not bad." ”
Li Xiuping helped the man who drove the carriage to put the carriage down, and then began to search around for hay and firewood.
Although I didn't encounter demon beasts along the way, it was because many demon beasts rarely moved during the day, but once it was night, the situation was completely different, not to mention that there was a monk among the three of them, which was a very tempting existence for demon beasts.
Demon beasts are afraid of fire, so taking advantage of the current time to accumulate more things that can be burned can also reduce the threat that you may encounter overnight.
After the man who was driving the car tied the horses, he also helped to search them, Xu Bansheng saw that the two of them were busy, and it was not good to stay by themselves, so he also went up to help, although he didn't quite understand why Li Xiuping picked up so much firewood, but he didn't ask.
The twilight was getting deeper, and I didn't encounter a demon beast, but a group of people.
This group of people also came from the west, and there were quite a few of them, men and women combined, there must have been about a dozen, and they were all cultivators.
This group of people should also know the danger of rushing at night, so after coming here, they did not continue to move forward, but stationed not far away, but they were not as particular as Li Xiuping and the others, and sat directly on the grass.
Although it is already autumn, it is actually not cold, although there will be some chill at night, it can be ignored, not to mention that they are all cultivators, where do they care about this.
The man who was driving the car took out the rations prepared in Qingyang County, handed them to Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng, and after sitting down, he also gnawed on himself, and he didn't seem to be interested in that group of people.
After Xu Bansheng took the rations, he asked, "Senior Brother Li, do you know those people?" ”
Li Xiuping glanced at the group of people, shook his head, and asked, "Shouldn't I ask you this?" ”
Xu Bansheng said with a smile: "Although they are all monks, there are hundreds of sects in Yunzhou, large and small, how can I know everything." ”
He continued: "But judging from the aura of these people, the strength is not low, and I can't even see the depth of two of them, I'm afraid they have already entered the foundation building period." ”
Li Xiuping just said "oh", and then lowered his head and nibbled on the food in his hand.
Whether it's Zhuji or Jin Dan, anyway, those people definitely don't look down on them, if they encounter demon beasts, maybe they will be pushed out, this kind of thing, when he was in the mountains before, it was not that he didn't encounter it.
To be honest, Li Xiuping didn't like these people who cultivated immortals and asked questions, he preferred those vulgar men in the Night Xingsi to these characters who seemed to be high-minded. Take the matter of demon beasts as an example, there was an outbreak of demon plague in Qingyang County, but no sect sent even a single monk to resist, but many people came to hunt demon beasts and obtain things from demon beasts. Looking at the people in the Night Walking Division, they are all willing to risk their lives to block in front of the demon beasts and protect the safety of Qingyang County for two years.
Once Li Xiuping chatted with Gao Yunmian and listened to Gao Yunmian's meaning, the reason why the demon disaster broke out in Qingyang County this time has a lot to do with these people who cultivate immortals and ask questions. As for what the relationship was, although Gao Yunmian didn't say it, Li Xiuping could guess some.
Cultivators hunt demon beasts, and demon beasts naturally want to resist, but aren't ordinary people who suffer?
It's just about this kind of thing, Li Xiuping is too lazy to think about it. Right and wrong are not what a little blacksmith who has a problem even eating should think.
He only knows that whoever is good to him, he will be good to him, and whoever wants to bully him, then he will not let the other party be better, it's as simple as that.
At this time, one of the people in the group stood up, and then walked towards Li Xiuping and the others, looking arrogant.
When the man approached, he said coldly, "Who told you to make a fire?" I don't know if this will attract monsters? Quickly put out the fire. ”
Before Li Xiuping could speak, Xu Bansheng stood up, glared at the other party and said, "If you are afraid, you can go farther, we came here first." ”
The man said, "Who is afraid?" ”
Xu Bansheng pouted and said, "I'm not afraid of what nonsense you say." ”
The man said angrily, "You ......"
Xu Bansheng directly interrupted: "What are you?" It's not your family, master, I just like to burn fires, can you manage it? ”
The man flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "I hope to attract demon beasts in a while, and you can still be so tough." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xu Bansheng didn't mean to stop there, and said loudly: "Do you want to come over and roast the fire?" It's very cold in the mountains at night. ”
Li Xiuping finally understood why there was so much hatred between the major sects, in addition to the views of the sects, there was also this kind of conflict of will.
The man who drove the car was a little worried, I was really afraid that these guys would fight directly, and then look at Li Xiuping, at a young age, he was so steady, how good.
But a young man should have been like Xu Bansheng.
