Chapter 42
From Jing Chuqian's house to Chang'an, thousands of miles away, Chitang and Xue Yang took a remote mountain road, not only to take a shortcut, but also to reduce trouble, after all, the two countries are at odds, sometimes there are wars, if you enter the territory of Qin from the thoroughfare, you are afraid of being cross-examined and left in difficulty.
Fortunately, Chitang has traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years, and has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open and wading through mountains and rivers. And Xue Yang obviously knows this well, and he is not panting and tired at all when he walks around the rugged mountain paths, on the contrary, he is still full of energy and full of energy.
The weather was cold, and Chi Tang and Xue Yang were wearing gray cloaks that covered the color of their brown shirts and short plackets, so they were similar to the appearance of many high-rollers traveling far away, and they didn't have to worry about others paying too much attention.
The snow can already be seen on the mountain road, it can be seen that the two have gone out of the warm land in the south of the Yangtze River, and into the bitter cold realm of Guanzhong, a few days and nights of fast walking, has already driven a lot of distance, according to this speed to go down, it is estimated that within ten days, you can enter Chang'an City.
When he returned to the southern territory from Chang'an that day, as a swordsman, he was panicked like a lost dog, lost his soul and was silent; now, he has become a demon slayer, and he is full of pride and pride, but in half a year, his mood has changed, and there is a world of difference.
"Senior Brother Chi, you've walked so many ways these days, aren't you tired?" Xue Yang's dark face was a little purple by the cold mountain wind.
"Fortunately, when I walked the rivers and lakes in the past, I used to travel day and night like this, and I have long been accustomed to it. Chi Tang exhaled a breath of turbidity, people who practice martial arts, are familiar with the method of exhaling and strengthening the body, and have profound internal skills, such a long journey is really not too tiring.
"After walking for these days, I didn't see any pedestrians on the road, which shows that the times are chaotic and the people are struggling to make a living, no wonder demons are rampant. Xue Yang sighed.
"Maybe it's because we've gone deep into the mountains. Chi Tang also knew that his reason was not sufficient, and his tone was a little fluttering.
"When you arrive in Chang'an, how does Senior Brother Chi want to find those demons for revenge?" Xue Yang changed the subject.
Chi Tang paused, he had been thinking about this question all the way, the traces of those Fly Mountain demons were now obvious, they were entrenched in the Diqin Imperial Palace, accompanied by the one-eyed tyrant, but if he entered the palace directly, not to mention the reaction of those demons, it would be difficult for the thousands of Yulin troops who guarded the imperial city to resist the enemy alone. But if he was hidden in Chang'an City, he acted with the camera, but he was worried that it would take time in vain, and he would eventually return home.
Xue Yang saw Chi Tang's expression, and understood what he meant, and explained: "Senior Brother Chi don't have to be embarrassed, after we arrive in Chang'an City, I will use Bai Hongxun to notify the fellow demons in the left to see what they can do." ”
"If they had a way, they wouldn't have sat idly by and watched the demons gather in the palace all the time. Chi Tang sighed, "The sixth senior brother said that the demon fellow who is close to the left, could it be those people from the Crane Feather Sect?"
"Yes, the person in the Demon Dao who is most likely to appear there is the Qi Refiner of the Crane Feather Sect, so many famous Demon Sects, only this faction is in the land of Guanzhong, so it is also within the range of their potential. ”
Chi Tang shook his head: "To be honest, I don't like them, they are empty-eyed, arrogant, and not from my generation." We can't expect them to help us. ”
Xue Yang smiled: "It's because of those Heyu Sect people I saw in Luoxia Mountain, I hate them too, although Mr. Gushan still had some heroism when he died." However, it seems that the people of the Tsuruha Gate who often walk through the pass are not from Mr. Gushan's branch. ”
Chi Tang was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he had heard Ji Rui Xue Yang talk about the branch of the Crane Feather Gate, but now he couldn't remember exactly what he said.
Xue Yang explained: "The Crane Feather Sect is divided into three branches according to the different cultivation spells. Mr. Gushan's branch is a teacher, and the disciples have a teacher in their names and surnames, and it is said that their main practice is the method of reversing time and space. ”...,
Chi Tang thought of Mr. Gushan's trick of suffocating the air and smashing the enemy in a circle, and nodded as if he had an understanding, reversing time and space is a wonderful spell, which is where the main village of the Qianjia Void Realm is located, and it is also one of the spells of time and space misalignment.
"The other two are the Lizi Sect of Mr. Xu Da, the head of the Crane Feather Sect, and their major is the method of using qi to resist the sword......"
"With Qi Imperial Sword?" Chi Tang Qi said, "I don't think the doorman of Mr. Gushan's Shizi Gate will also use the Flying Sword Technique?
"With the similarity of the Qi Imperial Sword and the Flying Sword, the quality is different, Senior Brother Chi will know the difference between them if he has the opportunity to see them. Xue Yang was still explaining: "There is also the text gate in charge of Mr. Yunzi, the junior brother of the head of Xu, they seem to be practicing what kind of qi and mental power technique, I don't know much about this, most of the people who often walk in the place of Guanzhong are the disciples of the Lizi Gate under the head of Xu, and the master of the word door seems to go to the north, and the text gate rarely makes a move, and the Demon Dao only knows that the Heyu Gate of the Lu Dao has this branch, but I don't know what kind of magic the text door of the Lu Dao is." Therefore, if we call for colleagues in Chang'an, most of them will come to the Lizi Gate of Heyu Gate, I heard that they are all humble and courteous people, and Mr. Gushan's Shizi Gate is very different. ”
Chi Tang muttered: "One Crane Feather Gate has so many ......"
"Wait!" Xue Yang suddenly stopped Chi Tang moving forward and looked around as if he had a feeling.
"What's wrong?" Chi Tang was a little surprised at first, and then looked at Xue Yang sniffling, sniffing, with a vigilant look, and suddenly understood, this is the Qianjia disciple's spell to detect qi and find demons, and he didn't say much, he immediately used his spiritual power, and like Xue Yang, he sniffed his nose in the air.
A faint fishy smell poured into his nose, Chi Tang had already learned this spell, and at the moment he was concentrating and holding his breath, his mind expanded from his body, and in just a moment, a back figure dressed in black came into view.
Chi Tang immediately woke up, pointed to the northwest direction at the same time as Xue Yang, and said in unison: "There." ”
The two glanced at each other, and they both laughed loudly.
"Senior Brother Chi's cultivation in the past few days is worth ten years of our cultivation, so we have mastered the trick of detecting qi and seeking demons so quickly. Xue Yang praised.
The fishy smell represents the traces of the demon's actions, and the black-clothed back represents the location of the demon itself, Chi Tang slightly estimated the place where the idea passed, and then came up with the distance between the demon and himself, this is the first time he really used the skill of Qianjia to investigate the qi and find the demon, and Chi Tang couldn't help but be quite happy.
Xue Yang rubbed his hands excitedly: "Ha Luha, it's boring all the way, there is a pastime now." ”
The two of them ran forward in the direction of the demon. Before encountering those Fly Mountain demons again, he was able to use the demons on the road to practice his hands, and Chi Tang was a little desperate.
After a short time, the two of them walked out of this ridge, and in the distance there were mountains stretching, and between the two mountains, there was a small village and town, and the mud huts were scattered on the mountains.
Where there are villages and towns, there are people, and where there are people, there will be demons, Chi Tang and Xue Yang have no words, and go straight to the villages and towns.
After entering the village and town, Chitang found that this village and town is far more lively than looking at it from a distance, there are several tea shops and wine shops, many pedestrians who look like merchants are here, dogs and horses are neighing in the village and town, it is not lively, it seems that this is the gathering place of travelers from the south to the north.
What Chi Tang really cares about is whether there are people dressed in black in this village and town, after all, the demon itself is wearing black clothes, but at a glance, he found that there are many people in black, carefully distinguishing the figure, but there is no clue.
Xue Yang poked Chitang, pointed into the air, and nodded.
Chi Tang used his spiritual power to look at the air, and suddenly found a faint black gas floating above the village and town. ...,
The demon must be hiding here, and the location of the demon has been determined, Xue Yang is not in a hurry, and said to Chi Tang: "Let's find a wine shop, eat some food, and see what is wrong with this village and town by the way." ”
These days, they are sleeping in the open and busy on the road, both of them are eating the dry food prepared for them by the Li family, and now they can eat some hot food, so how can Chi Tang not allow it?
Lifting the curtain of the nearest wine shop, Chi Tang was stunned, the room was full of people, and seven or eight out of ten were dressed in black, it seemed that they were all rushing merchants, these merchants either poured wine and drank in groups, or stuffed their heads alone with food, and they didn't care about the entry of Chi Tang and Xue Yang.
The guy in the wine shop greeted him warmly and found a small black and dirty table for the two of them in the far corner of the room.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the shop is full today, and this place is still empty, and the two guest officers will take care of it. The shopkeeper said in a loud voice.
Chi Tang listened to the accent of this shopkeeper, and seemed to have some Heluo dialect, so he asked out loud: "Little brother, where is this? Why is it so lively?"
"The guest officer came by mountain road, right? No wonder I don't know. The shopkeeper said very accurately, "This is Jueshan Town, over this mountain, it is the boundary of the Di people, and to the east of the mountain, it is the place of the Xianbei people of Yan Kingdom, so this is the border of the three kingdoms." The guest officer also knew that the three countries were not very peaceful, and if they walked the normal national border, it would inevitably be a little troublesome, so many pedestrians and merchants from the south to the north walked here, and passed over the mountains, and it was convenient to ignore the border guards. So, there are a lot of people, and it's naturally lively. ”
Chi Tang then understood, he had also heard of the name of Jueshan Town, it is at the junction of the three countries, it can be described as a thoroughfare, although it belongs to the southern boundary, it is in the mountains, the terrain is remote, the southern political officials rarely pay attention to here, and there is no garrison and the county in charge, now it seems that the local mountain people have a way to live and wealth, and this place has been built into a lively and prosperous place that can accommodate merchants from all over the world.
"Two bowls of soup cakes, a hot pot of wine, and a chicken stew. Chi Tang didn't think much about it, and instructed the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was just about to agree, but Xue Yang had already shouted: "Slow down, slow down, what is the price of your food, wine and food here?" In Chi Tang's surprised eyes, Xue Yang explained in a low voice: "There are many merchants here, and the terrain is biased, we don't have much on us, so let's ask for the price." ”
Chi Tang smiled dumbly, he inadvertently committed the temperament of a heroic man in the rivers and lakes, in the past, he entered a restaurant and a wine store, and only cared about the price of wine, meat and food, how could he have ever cared about the cost of it? But now it is different, and the habits of the Qianjia family still have to be kept by from time to time.
Chi Tang was pulled by Xue Yang, and asked the food money one by one, and he took the opportunity to look at the customers in the store, since he knew that there were demons hiding here, he should also pay more attention.
There are mostly people dressed as businessmen, and Chi Tang has already secretly checked his spiritual power, and he didn't notice anything unusual, but this can only show that during this time, the demon has not used his own demonic power, and Chi Tang is not surprised.
Among the full seats, only Chi Tang, the person on the desk in the left side of the box, took a few more looks, not only because he was dressed in black, but not only because he was sitting alone, but he was obviously only one person, but he ordered a table full of dishes, and a large wine urn stood on the table, and the person poured himself a drink, but he was quite lavish in wine. Chi Tang wanted to see the person's appearance clearly, but the person was wearing a black cloak, and even in the eating room, he didn't take off the puffy clothes that covered his face, and he could only see that his body was very burly.
The shopkeeper left with a black face, and the dark-skinned guest officer finally only ordered a few cheapest pastries, and begged for two bowls of noodle soup for no money to drink. ”...,
Seeing Chi Tang's attentive eyes, Xue Yang also looked in the direction of his eyes: "What's wrong?" After looking at the person in the black cloak, Xue Yang said disapprerovitically: "This person doesn't seem to have any problems except for the large amount of wine and food, what's the matter?" Do you suspect that he is the incarnation of a demon?"
Chi Tang didn't speak, his attention was on the hilt of the sword that was exposed next to the black-cloaked man, which was the shape of a rhinoceros carved from white jade.
Maybe Chi Tang's eyes stayed for too long, the man seemed to have a sense, and when he raised his head, a pair of shining eyes swept over Chi Tang's face.
With just this sweep, the eyes did not leave again, the man met Chi Tang's eyes head-on, pushed away the wine bowl in front of him, and stood up, his face full of surprise and joy.
At this station, it seems that this person is tall and majestic, Chi Tang has recognized this person, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, after leaving the grievances of the rivers and lakes for half a year, he will inevitably meet his old friends, old friends in the martial arts rivers and lakes.
The old people should have been very happy when they met, but Chi Tang sighed in his heart because he didn't know how to tell this person the reason for this part.
"Brother Chi, is it really you?" The man in the black cloak took off the canopy that covered his head, and saw that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slight beard, a broad face, and a lofty instrument, and strode towards Chi Tang.
Chi Tang also stood up and bowed to the big man: "Brother Xu, don't come here for a long time, it's a real surprise to meet here again." ”
The big man walked over and hugged Chi Tang with a bear, showing that he had a very good relationship with Chi Tang.
"Aha, it's good to see Brother Chi, the rivers and lakes all say that Brother Chi is missing, by the way, I was about to ask Brother Chi, where has Brother Chi always been?
Chi Tang was shocked, although he had been worried about how to speak, but when the big man finally asked, he couldn't help but be speechless, especially the whereabouts of the big man's cousin.
The cousin's surname in the mouth of the big man is Zhang Mingyan, and he is one of the five warriors of martial arts, and Zhang Yan, the giant swordsman of Pengcheng, is also
