Chapter 66: Start Again
Xiang Chen didn't expect that the first city he came to when he stepped on the road to heaven was completely different from what he imagined. Except that there is more dust than the big city outside, the architectural furnishings inside the city are not even the slightest bit dilapidated. There are even people in this city who open storefront inns.
In fact, not only did Xiang Chen not understand, but even Lin Teng was surprised. His own family, who had walked the road to heaven, did leave a map of the road to heaven, but there was no more description of the road to heaven, and he never mentioned his own experience on the road to heaven.
Regarding this, the other people who came back from the road to heaven were the same, and they didn't mention the slightest news on the road to the sky, as if they were given a gag order or something.
Therefore, even though a group of people will set foot on the road to heaven every few years, there is still very little understanding of the road to heaven among people outside.
The same is true for Xiang Chen, Jiang Yingxue, Lin Teng, Hua Xiaoxiao and Yun Yiyi, they have different levels of understanding of Tongtian Road, but they are all very one-sided.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone. At least the young man who opened an inn in this Qingyuan City knew a little more than Xiang Chen and the others. In addition, the Golden Jade Hall, which later stepped into this inn, seemed to understand some of the conditions.
Encountering someone opening an inn here, Xiang Chen was quite surprised. However, what surprised him even more was that he didn't expect to see Jin Yutang again so soon.
Although the two of them didn't have any friendship, and they didn't have much intersection, after all, they were both people who came out of Ling Tianfu, and a feeling of being a fellow countryman instantly spread in this unfamiliar Tongtian Road.
"You guys are really fast, and you're even ahead of us!" Jin Yutang smiled on his face, looking very enthusiastic.
"Brother Jin, you don't seem to be surprised by everything here, I don't know if you know what's going on here?" Xiang Chen also saw that Jin Yutang was not surprised by the feeling here, so he guessed that this Jin Yutang should know a lot about this Qingyuan City.
"This is actually not a big secret, Qingyuan City turned out to be the ruins of a small city on Tongtian Road. Later, I don't know who had the whims, and built a new city on top of this ruins. Of course, this city has been established for a long time, after all, there are not so many people who come to this road to the sky. Our Jin family, and the family of the shopkeeper in front of us are both one of the initiators of the reconstruction of Qingyuan City, so we can open a store here to do business, and the other people who have stores here are also the initiating families who have rebuilt Qingyuan City, of course, most of this city is still empty, but every house has an owner!"
"What are you doing building a city in this place where birds don't?" Hua Xiaoxiao's face raised slightly, full of puzzlement.
The other people are in a similar situation to Hua Xiaoxiao, and they are also full of questions, but they are not as direct as Hua Xiaoxiao's questions.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Qingyuan City is a place where birds don't. There will be no one living here for several years, what are the intentions of the people who built this city, it is really incomprehensible, could it be that they have gone to great lengths to build a city here, in order to have an empty house for the demon beasts here to live? Xiang Chen felt that these people would not be so brainless.
"You don't know this, the road to heaven was originally a part of our world, and the area is vast, many people feel that this road to heaven will return to our world sooner or later, here first establish a base, so that when the road to heaven is really lifted, there is also a place to stay, this is called strategy, called vision. This is what makes us businessmen different from ordinary families!" Jin Yutang said.
"Brother Jin's family is really long-term!" Xiang Chen didn't say anything more, Jin Yutang's words felt true and false, but he didn't want to ask anything more, what he had to do now was to stay first, let the people in this group rest, and then get up and go to find the clan land of the Ruoshui Clan.
Although Jiang Yingxue still has more than two months to go theoretically, Xiang Chen's heart is still relieved, only if Ruoshui Linglong, who found Ruoshui Clan earlier, cured Jiang Yingxue of the poison of yin and cold, he can go to this road to heaven with peace of mind.
The others thought about the same as Xiang Chen, they were tired from running around for a few days, everyone was tired, and they wanted to find a place to take a good rest.
Xiang Chen asked for a few upper rooms here, only to find out that the guest rooms here are really ridiculously expensive, the same guest room can be done outside for only ten taels of silver, but here it needs twenty taels of gold. However, what is most willing to receive here is one kind of thing, that is, pills, and pills of the same price can also be circulated.
Xiang Chen took out some golden tickets from his body and handed them to the shopkeeper Tong. These golden tickets are enough for them to stay here for one night.
Xiang Chen didn't plan to stay here longer, so he only paid for one night to rest and adjust here. In addition, this money is actually almost all the money on Xiang Chen's body. When he came out, no one told him that there were still people here to open an inn, and it would cost money.
"Are you only going to stay here for one day?" shopkeeper Tong looked at Xiang Chen with some surprise after counting the silver tickets. The first half of the road to heaven is almost occupied by demon beasts, which is very dangerous and tricky. Generally speaking, everyone gathered the manpower and left, but I didn't expect Xiang Chen's team to plan to act alone.
"We still have important things, even if it is dangerous, we must leave early!" Xiang Chen glanced at a few people and found that a few people did not mean to object, so they did not change their minds.
In fact, from another aspect, there are fewer people and the target is small, so it is not easy to attract the attention of demon beasts. This is also an important reason why others did not oppose Xiang Chen.
However, the third girl still had a regretful expression, and finally found a city, but she didn't expect to hurry again before she could stand firm.
Of course, everyone understands Xiang Chen's eagerness, and will not come out to oppose Xiang Chen's decision, this is the cohesion of a team, after a decisive time to get along, Xiang Chen has been completely identified.
......
The early morning wind carried a hint of morning dew, and several figures left Qingyuan City early in the morning, and these people were naturally the members of Xiang Chen's team. This night, most people slept well, especially Jiang Yingxue, Yun Yiyi, and Hua Xiaoxiao. After each of the three of them returned to their own residence, they immediately prepared a large basin of hot water, and Mei 61 took a hot bath.
And Xiang Chen and Lin Teng can only guard the room, responsible for the safety of the three girls when they are taking a bath. After this period of getting along, Xiang Chen and Lin Teng have become trustworthy people in their hearts.
Of course, all this is not the case for Lin Teng and Xiang Chen.
A beautiful woman takes a bath, and two men are responsible for guarding it, I'm afraid that all men will think it's a beauty difference, but is this really a beauty difference? Anyway, Xiang Chen doesn't feel this way.
Listening to the constant sound of playing water inside, Xiang Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of evil fire, and his heart beat faster. It's like you're hungry, knowing that there are steamed buns in the kitchen, but the door is locked, so you can only think about it but can't eat it.
In addition, the three girls took a bath for a little too long, almost two hours, and the three women opened the door, and there seemed to be a hint of unfinished expression on their faces. This made Xiang Chen and Lin Teng speechless for a while.
The third girl slept beautifully 61 after taking a bath, but Xiang Chen didn't sleep, such a place where birds don't, there is such a city, and such a shop, of course he can't rest assured, so he hasn't slept all night, and has been paying attention to the movements around here.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and at dawn the next day, Xiang Chenbian beckoned a few people to leave.
"It's a shame that I'm going to leave so soon, I really don't know when I'll be able to enjoy the hot bath again!" Hua Xiaoxiao grumbled as she walked.
Her complaint really made Xiang Chen not know what to say, he would rather there be no more such a city, and there would be no place for them to bathe.
Lin Teng's expression was similar to Xiang Chen's, and guarding the door for the beautiful woman who bathed was indeed not a good errand.
Of course, the reason why two people don't like it is also because the two people are still relatively upright by nature, if it is two dishonest men, I am afraid that the situation will not be like this.
Fortunately, although Hua Xiaoxiao complained, she did not embarrass Xiang Chen, as for Jiang Yingxue and Yun Yiyi, they did not speak, but the expressions on their faces were full of strange expressions, presumably they noticed something in their hearts after hearing Hua Xiaoxiao's complaints.
"Lin Teng, you can confirm that this direction will not be wrong!" Xiang Chen no longer paid attention to Hua Xiaoxiao, and turned his head to Lin Teng.
"According to the location indicated on the map, it should be on this side. Out of Qingyuan City, walking in this direction for three days should be the clan land of the Ruoshui Clan, but it is unknown whether Ruoshui Linglong is still there or not!" Lin Teng's face was also a little solemn.
Xiang Chen went to Ruoshui Clan's clan land to find Ruoshui Linglong, but is Ruoshui Linglong really there? No one knows this question at all.
"Whether I'm here or not, I'm going to take a look, at least there's hope!" Xiang Chen said.
Lin Teng didn't say much, he could understand Xiang Chen's mood, maybe Xiang Chen didn't realize the current status of Jiang Yingxue in his heart.
As time passed, Xiang Chen's team was getting farther and farther away from Qingyuan City.
On the first day, the wind and waves were calm, and Xiang Chen felt a little incredible, walking on this road to heaven was the first time to be so calm.
But the next day didn't seem to be so smooth, Xiang Chen and the others walked in the direction pointed out by Lin Teng, and finally entered the mountain forest again. It was even harassed by several monsters. However, these demon beasts obviously did not have the ability of the Yin Crown Snake, and they posed much of a threat to Xiang Chen and the others, but they sent some delicious barbecue meat for nothing.
However, soon Xiang Chen and the others once again had an ominous premonition, and they had unknowingly walked to a valley. At first, I didn't notice anything unusual, but the more I went on, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the fog here became heavier and heavier, and in the end, I couldn't even distinguish the people in front of me.
