Battle of the Nine Plains Chapter 71 Giant Scorpion Caravan

Jiang Chen glanced at the giant scorpion that was more than ten zhang high from a distance, then flew into the sky above the caravan, and after circling around a little twice, he flew towards the front of the caravan.

Obviously, the people on the giant scorpion also noticed Jiang Chen's arrival, and after a few loud shouts, a large group of people poured out from the small house on the back of a dozen giant scorpions, as many as two or three hundred people, and immediately crowded the road below.

When this group of people saw Jiang Chen standing in mid-air, their faces showed a bit of awe, and they bowed to Jiang Chen one after another.

When Jiang Chen was a little stunned, a middle-aged man in the crowd who looked the most luxuriously dressed stepped forward a few steps, said a few words with a nervous expression, and then stood with his hands tied, as if waiting for Jiang Chen's orders.

Jiang Chen touched his nose and smiled bitterly. Because of the other party's words, he only understood a few words. He knows several languages on the mainland, but at this time, he can't understand what the big man says, and he can't understand the language, how to communicate, which makes him have a headache.

At this time, because he saw that Jiang Chen did not speak immediately, the middle-aged man looked a little panicked, and said a few words hurriedly. Although he didn't understand the meaning, Jiang Chen could also see that the other party seemed to be distinguishing something from him.

Jiang Chen frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said in the language of Dashang:

"If any of you can understand what I am saying, if so, come out and explain it to me!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen swept his gaze towards the crowd below him.

The middle-aged man had a blank look on his face, obviously he didn't know what Jiang Chen would say, and as for the confused appearance of the others, they were no better than him.

Sighing helplessly, Jiang Chen changed the Yu Chinese he had learned and said this separately.

The language of Yu Guo was still learned in order to hide his identity when he traveled with the old Taoist priest.

When he said one of them, a long-bearded old man in the crowd finally moved his expression and took two steps towards Jiang Chen's side.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was overjoyed, and immediately pointed at the old man.

"Sir, do you understand what I say?" Jiang Chen said slowly in the Yu Chinese dialect he knew, after all, he didn't use this kind of language often, and he was very unfamiliar.

When the old man heard Jiang Chen say this, he hesitated, but still stood on the side of the middle-aged man and replied respectfully in Yu Chinese:

"The old man Bai Wanli, since he was a child, he has followed the elders to do business and passed through many places, and he did learn this kind of fairy language when he was young! I don't know what the immortal master commanded? ”

Jiang Chen saw that the old man could really understand the language he was saying, and a few smiles appeared on his face. Suddenly, the figure flashed, and the person stood in front of the old man in an instant, startling the old man and the middle-aged man at the same time.

It was only then that he realized that the language he knew was actually the language spoken by the monks, and it was not the same as the language of ordinary mortals.

"As you can see, I don't know how to speak. Tell them that I'm just passing by here to inquire about something, and there is no malice, so they don't have to be so alarmed! Jiang Chen said in a gentle tone.

Just now, he had completely swept over this caravan with his divine sense, and this place was full of mortals, and there were no immortal cultivators here, including those giant scorpions, so he was so relieved.

After saying this, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to how the old man muttered and explained to the middle-aged man, but began to observe some details of the caravan, only to see that everyone was basically dressed extremely simply, and the exposed places showed their strong physique.

At first glance, most of these people are martial arts practitioners, but they have not yet stepped into the ranks of martial artists.

Then Jiang Chen beckoned to the sky, and put away the dozen or so spirit talismans he had hidden in mid-air, so that he had to make some preparations just in case out of caution.

After doing these things, Jiang Chen squinted slightly.

The mortals who found the giant scorpion next to it, although their expressions still remained respectful, but none of them showed a look of shock. This shows that they should have seen the monk's methods often, otherwise they would not have been so accustomed to it.

In this way, if the people in this caravan are not ordinary people, or there are a large number of monks and warriors here, it is not taboo for mortals to see them. Jiang Chen thought thoughtfully in his heart.

At this time, the long-bearded old man had already passed Jiang Chen's words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was stunned at first, but the horse showed a look of surprise, and said a lot of words to Jiang Chen in his mouth, full of excitement.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he saw the other party's expression like this. I couldn't help but turn my face to the old man.

The old man naturally understood Jiang Chen's intentions, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Jiang Chen: "Master Immortal, this is the proprietor of the caravan, named Chang An. He planned to invite the immortal master to live in the mountain tribe where he lived, and he was willing to provide all the expenses and expenses of the immortal master's cultivation. ”

"Mountain tribes?" Jiang Chen touched his chin and looked noncommittal.

Seeing Jiang Chen's indifferent look, the middle-aged man's eyes became more eager, and a series of words came out of his mouth. Judging from the way he smiled when he spoke, and Jiang Chen could also understand some words, Jiang Chen didn't want the old man to translate and understand, most of the words that this big man named Chang An said that he wanted to let him go to that mountain tribe.

So, I didn't wait for the old man to translate for me. Jiang Chen waved his hand unceremoniously and said:

"You tell this proprietor first, I am new to your land and am not very familiar with the situation here, so I will not take the liberty of agreeing or anything. After I learned more about it, I decided whether to go to his mountain tribe or not. Now that I don't understand your language, I hope he will let me stay on board for a few days, so that the old gentleman can teach me some of the local language and learn about the local customs. ”

When the old man heard this, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly explained the truth to the middle-aged man.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man obviously showed a little disappointment on his face, but he still respectfully bowed to Jiang Chen. Then he shouted a few words to the others behind him, and suddenly everyone retreated back to the house on the back of the giant scorpion, and after he himself had spoken to the old man, he went backwards.

In this way, only the old man and Jiang Chen were left on the ground.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said to Jiang Chen: "Master Immortal, Lord Chang has agreed to your request, and has also vacated an independent scorpion room for you, please don't dislike it, Immortal Master can come with me." ”

Jiang Chen listened and didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and agreed.

So, the old man named Bai Wanli was in front, and Jiang Chen followed him into the scorpion room.

"It's big enough!" This was Jiang Chen's first feeling after entering the scorpion room. This house doesn't look very big on the back of a giant scorpion, but after coming in, I found that it has a different feeling.

There are two floors in the scorpion room, each floor is high enough for Jiang Chen, enough to accommodate more than a dozen people to live, although the decoration inside is relatively ordinary, but it is obvious that it is clean.

During this period, Jiang Chen also met two waiting mortals in the scorpion room, and they all automatically made way for Jiang Chen with a look of awe on their faces.

After following the old man to the second floor, Jiang Chen found that the second floor was three points larger than the first floor. Bai Wanli did not hesitate to tidy up the room on the second floor at will, and then leaned to the side, indicating that Jiang Chen was invited to take a seat.

Jiang Chen was not polite to him, went straight to the chair on the side and sat down, and then looked around.

Not to mention, this house is really good!

Not only is the space large enough, but there is no feeling of stuffiness. But what made Jiang Chen most strange was that there were still some green plants in the corner of the room.

Looking at one of the strange-looking green plants, which resembled a cockscomb, and the various colors on it were like rainbows, Jiang Chen showed a curious look.

"It seems that the Immortal Master has never seen this colorful flower tree before! This tree is indeed not a common thing. Not only does it have a gorgeous appearance, but it can also purify the air when placed in a small space, which is really a rare treasure for traders. That is, our proprietor, a wealthy person, only got two. The old man saw the surprise in Han Li's eyes and respectfully explained to Han Li.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly when he heard this, but didn't say anything. He had already heard that the long-bearded old man had the intention of currying favor with his proprietor, and if he got two, then he had one here, which was enough to show that he valued himself.

Jiang Chen's eyes moved, and he motioned for the long-bearded old man to find a chair to sit down on at will. Seeing that Bai Wanli was still standing in front of him a little restrained, he didn't dare to sit down at will.

Seeing that the other party was so restrained, Jiang Chen smiled and said to him with a pleasant face: "Mr. Bai, don't be so polite. Please sit down and talk, I still have some things to ask my husband for? ”

When Bai Wanli heard this, he said "don't dare" in his mouth, looking sincerely afraid.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and stopped forcing the other party.

So, after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and asked directly: "I am a monk who has just arrived here from other places, I wonder if Mr. Bai can introduce me to the nearby terrain and local customs first." Of course, it would be better if we could say more about our monks. I will definitely thank the old gentleman again! ”

When Jiang Chen said these words, his expression was extremely calm.

After Wang Changqing thought about it, he said slowly:

"Since the immortal master came here from the outside, he should know that this is the land of barren sand dunes, and this place is located in the southeast of the Yu Kingdom, bordering the land of the Ghost Fang to the northeast, and the Shang country to the extreme south. There is a Pleiades City that occupies most of the rich territory in this area, as well as six Taicheng cities that divide up various places, and hundreds of small tribes scattered around the sand dunes. Of course, these places are inhabited by immortal masters and mortals. ”

"And what makes us different from other places is that each tribe will have an immortal master with the highest mana as a guardian, responsible for guarding the safety of the tribe. If other immortal masters are willing to settle in the tribe and hold certain positions, the tribal leader will issue a certain amount of spirit stones for their cultivation every year. But henceforth you must obey the command of the chief. Of course, if you want to live in the tribe, but you don't want to hold a tribal position, not only do you not have a supply of spirit stones, but you have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to the tribe leader every year, so you can also stay in the tribe. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Wanli paused, with a somewhat envious look on his face, as if he was extremely yearning for immortal cultivators.

"Taicheng? Is this a place name or what? Jiang Chen asked with a puzzled expression.

Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Chen was quite interested in the place name, so he thought about it for a while, and said patiently: "The so-called Taicheng is just a title, although it is called a city, but it is just some relatively large tribes, but the guardian envoy is canonized by the Pleiades City, and is not hired by the local tribal leaders, and Taicheng can be regarded as a subsidiary city of the Pleiades City in other words, and every year Taicheng must pay a certain amount of worship to the Pleiades City in order to continue to maintain the title of Taicheng and occupy some spiritual veins." ”

As soon as the long-bearded old man said this, Jiang Chen instantly understood a lot about this city, this is basically a subordinate place of Pleiades City, which can be regarded as the relationship between Dashang and Fang Guo, but it is just a change of name here, but the way is still to imitate Dashang, Jiang Chen knows a lot about this knowledge, so when he heard the old man at this time, he instantly thought of these.

"What is the origin of Pleiades City?" Jiang Chen thought of Pleiades City again, hearing this name should not be ordinary, and then asked.

"I don't know when Pleiades City was founded, but I know that this city is no later than when Yu was founded, because Yu has no jurisdiction over the land of sand dunes, over time, Pleiades City has spontaneously become the ruler of the land of sand dunes, among which there are countless great monks, and there is an elders' council to jointly govern the land of dunes."

Bai Wanli sighed with emotion, and seemed to have a lot of feelings about the history of this star city. Or maybe it's just a member of the history of Pleiades City, so it's very touching when I talk about this city.

Jiang Chen naturally has no sympathy with him on this point.
