The Battle of the Nine Plains Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mountain and Stone Courtyard
About three days later, hundreds of people in the caravan suddenly ran out, and the carnival continued, Jiang Chen's consciousness swept away, and it turned out that he had arrived at the Shanyu tribe.
Jiang Chen, under the leadership of Lord Chang Fang and Bai Wanli, walked down the giant scorpion, and the scene in front of him suddenly shocked Jiang Chen. The mountain tribe in front of me is not the same as the kind of tribe I thought, I originally thought that the mountain tribe belonged to the open air and lived in a tent, but I didn't expect it to occupy such a good place, only to see where there is still the feeling of sand dunes seen before, but some loess and green land are mixed, and a soil city is erected in front of the vast land out of thin air.
When Jiang Chen followed behind the two of them, silently looking at everything in this earth city, the first feeling he had was that this place was so big! The crowd of people coming and going was endless, and it was even more than Sangcheng, this was just an ordinary tribe that did not occupy the spiritual vein, like what Pleiades City looked like.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look forward to it!
A caravan as big as Lord Changfang, including giant scorpions, had more than a dozen, and they didn't even feel congestion when they passed through the city gate together, the only thing that made Jiang Chen feel general was that the city wall was very rough, and at first glance it seemed to be built up at random, but it was faintly covered with some runes, making the city wall not as fragile as it looked.
Walking further inside, the flow of people was even larger, and there were many people in front of them to greet the team of Lord Chang Fang, and their eyes were on the back of the giant scorpion, as if there was some treasure there.
While Jiang Chen sighed at the large number of mortals in this city, he also vaguely sensed that there were also a few martial arts auras near the city gate, but it was very weak, and at a glance, he knew that they were just some monks who had just entered the martial arts, and they should be some monks hired by the master of Chang Fang.
When Jiang Chen thought like this, he followed the two of them to a stone house in the city, which was very simply furnished, except for a wooden table and a chair, only an old man with a yellow face was sitting there with his eyes closed.
Before Chang Fang Lord could speak, Jiang Chen's divine sense had already scanned the past, and he was still a martial artist, but he only had the strength of the middle stage of body refining.
His divine sense is comparable to that of a foundation building monk, plus the previous Chang Fang Lord and others vigorously invited him, then there must be no cultivators with great cultivation in the Shanyu tribe, which is also the reason why Jiang Chen dared to probe the old man with his divine sense as soon as he entered the door.
After hearing the sound of Jiang Chen and the others coming in, the old man opened his eyes.
The yellow-faced old man directly ignored Master Chang Fang and Bai Wanli, and instead focused his gaze on Jiang Chen, and after a brief sweep, he found that he couldn't see Jiang Chen's strength clearly at all, and then his complexion changed, and he quickly got up and came to Jiang Chen's side and bowed and said:
"I've seen the Immortal Master! I don't know what the immortal master can do here. After the yellow-faced old man finished speaking, he glanced at Master Chang Fang, meaning as if he was asking him to introduce it quickly.
Because Jiang Chen is strong with his divine sense, he has mastered the language that Bai Wanli taught him, and he can already understand what the yellow-faced old man said at this time, but he is not fluent enough to speak, plus this place is the territory of the Lord of Chang Fang, so he didn't say anything first, just smiled and looked at the Lord of Chang Fang.
I saw Lord Chang Fang respectfully call out to Immortal Master Yue, then came to the yellow-faced monk, whispered something, turned his head and pointed at Jiang Chen, as if to explain his origin, and then stuffed several spirit stones into this Immortal Master's hand.
Touching the spirit stone in his hand, this Immortal Master Yue still maintained a smile, and before Lord Chang Fang finished speaking, his face suddenly turned overjoyed, and then he quickly touched it from his body, took out a green jade plate, and nodded respectfully to Jiang Chen and asked:
"There is still some information that needs to be recorded, this is the rule of Pleiades City, I hope the immortal master will not blame, dare to ask the name of the immortal master?"
"Jiang Chen!" Jiang Chen looked at the jade plaque in the other party's hand and said his name fluently in the local dialect.
Immortal Master Yue's hand flashed with green light, and then continued to register some things on the jade plate, and after a while, the green light dissipated, and two more lines of strange symbols that Jiang Chen didn't recognize appeared on the jade plate.
"Is this something that can't be written?" After Immortal Master Yue handed the jade plaque to Jiang Chen, he looked at the strange symbols on the jade plaque and thought suspiciously.
"This brand of immortal master should be put away well. If it is lost, you have to go to the Pleiades City for tens of thousands of miles to reissue it, and if you want to pass through the land of dunes, hundreds of tribes in one city and six platforms will need this jade plate as a guide. Of course, if the immortal master had been settling here, this jade plate would not be of much use. After the yellow-faced old man patiently finished speaking to Jiang Chen, he began to clean up the things on the table.
Seeing this, Chang Fang had already retreated with Jiang Chen. But Jiang Chen was puzzled by this person's strange behavior at a glance, and after glancing at him more, he also silently followed Master Chang Fang out.
Not long after Jiang Chen went out, this Immortal Master Yue stopped what he was doing, a jade talisman ignited in his hand, and he muttered to himself:
"There is a Qi Refiner in the Shanyu Tribe, his strength is unknown, and the Divine Stone is orange, suspected to be a foundation building monk?" When the jade talisman in Immortal Master Yue's hand burned out, his words would also end. Then, the yellow-faced old man fell into a long contemplation......
Outside, after Master Chang Fang came out of the stone house, a beast cart pulled by two monsters that looked like goats but were two or three feet tall suddenly appeared at the door, and took Jiang Chen along the road to a place in the city.
Along the way, there are also a lot of such beast vehicles, which seem to be bustling. It seems that the tribes of these dune lands are not as poor as they think.
After passing through a few neat and lively streets, there were noticeably fewer such cars, and even after turning two streets, there were almost no similar beast cars.
After a quarter of an hour of rapid travel, the beast cart finally reached a place where two boulders embraced. The boulder stood like two hills in the city, and in front of the boulder looked like a fenced courtyard, but everything seemed a little rough, and there were some low trees planted all around it, each as thick as two people in their arms.
The leaves are thick and flat, pale red on the inside, earthy yellow on the outside, and have a faint woody scent. There are some low stone houses on all sides of the courtyard, the houses are not completely enclosed on all sides, there are leaks everywhere, and in the stone houses, there are still many people busy with something.
Looking at the people coming and going in the courtyard, they were all busy with their work, but when they saw Jiang Chen and the others' beast carts stopped at the gate of the courtyard, they stood on both sides, not daring to speak!
Jiang Chen stepped out of the beast cart with the support of Lord Chang Fang, and after looking at the courtyard, he found that the stone platform extending in front of the two mountain-like boulders, and there were two tall stone gates under the stone platform, it seemed that the real place where Lord Chang Fang lived should be inside these two hills.
Jiang Chen looked at the courtyard and nodded, the Chang Fang Lord behind him looked relieved at this time, as long as the immortal master in front of him was satisfied, everything he did would be worth it, thinking of the previous Yue Immortal Master's respectful appearance towards Jiang Chen, he should not lose this deal, and at this time, Jiang Chen showed a satisfied expression on this place.
Master Chang Fang hurriedly called his subordinates, brought clean water, rinsed Jiang Chen's hands, and then walked into the house with Jiang Chen.
In the boulder stone door, a unique sense of the cave came, the lights were all over the place, and suddenly a cool sense struck, the inside was extremely spacious, although they were all opened up inside the stone, but everything was complete, the layout was extremely simple and elegant, quite chic.
"This should be where Lord Chang Fang lives!" Jiang Chen secretly praised in his heart, but after examining the stone statues standing on both sides, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth pursed inexplicably.
Because he was surprised to find that in the courtyard inside the boulder, the stone statues around him revealed a trace of formation, and it was obvious that there was also the protection of the magic circle.
Judging from Jiang Chen's use of the formation several times, although this is not a clever formation, it is enough to trap some ordinary low-level cultivators.
When Jiang Chen was suspicious, the master of Chang Fang, who was standing on the side, smiled cautiously and said, "Immortal Master Jiang, this is in the lower courtyard, Immortal Master can take a rest here first!" I'll ask my subordinates to prepare some specialties in the tribe for the immortal master! ”
Jiang Chen listened, and glanced outside the courtyard as if nothing, his divine sense had already seen everything here, so he replied with a smile:
"No need, I don't want to nag Master Fang too much here, I just want to find a secluded place and wait for the arrival of the battle conference."
After saying this, Jiang Chen walked outside by himself, pointing in a certain direction with his finger.
Master Chang Fang followed the direction of Jiang Chen's finger and saw a small hill standing far away, he couldn't help but be completely stunned, and hurriedly said: "Immortal master can't, there is a demon beast in there, like to eat people, there are already hundreds of people in my tribe who have been devoured by it, and this beast was sealed with the help of Immortal Master Yue a few years ago, and Immortal Master can't rush up the mountain." ”
Lord Chang Fang tried to stop him, but found that Jiang Chen was still unmoved, and after thinking about Jiang Chen's strength, he had no choice but to let this somewhat strange immortal master wander towards the hill.
He glanced at Bai Wanli helplessly on the side and walked into the mountain stone courtyard.
Jiang Chen rode the clouds and mist along a slope that was not a small road, and it took about half an hour to reach the top of the small hill, from which he could see the courtyard of Lord Chang Fang clearly.
I saw that the Chang Fang Lord was surrounded by a group of men and women, and walked into the boulder on the other side, and then the crowd automatically dispersed, and only Bai Wanli and a few others followed.
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curled slightly, and he turned around and was busy with his own affairs.
He first found a flat slope at the waist of the hill. Then he picked a place, threw out a few spiritual powers, and dug a big hole in the hill in an instant.
Half an hour later, a small simple stone house appeared inside the hill. And the stone tables and chairs in the house, and even the stone beds, are all complete.
For the next month, Jiang Chen spent every day in the stone house to nourish his blood and refine elixirs and spirit runes. In this process, Jiang Chen discovered the demon beast as early as the third day of his arrival, it was an earth dragon, which was somewhat similar to a lizard, but it was much bigger, and it was a demon beast at the peak of the first order, no wonder that Immortal Master Yue only sealed it in the mountain rock, but looking at the appearance of the charm, it didn't last long.
This beast found that Jiang Chen was coming, and opened its bloody mouth at him, but due to the fact that the seal did not attack him at the first time, Jiang Chen was also not polite, and the two spells waved, and the beast was cut into four sections in an instant.
And the Changfang Lord and Bai Wanli, during this period, also came to the bottom of the hill to call Jiang Chen's name, knowing that Jiang Chen had killed the demon beast, they couldn't help but pay more attention to Jiang Chen's attitude, and then discussed some things with Jiang Chen to fight, and then didn't dare to delay Jiang Chen's cultivation and left in a hurry.
But Master Chang Fang is also a caring person, and every once in a while, he will send someone to send some spirit stones and exquisite food to the hills, so that Jiang Chen will be very useful.
Although there are not many spirit stones, Jiang Chen naturally sees all this in his eyes, and he also knows his attitude towards himself.
