Chapter 407: Lishan Town

The officer didn't expect Qin Wen to let him go so easily, and even left the storage bag for him, shook the arm that was grabbed by Qin Wen and was a little sore, and looked up to see that the homeless people had indeed run into the border of the country of He Blade, so he turned over and waved his hand to his soldiers: "Go back to the camp." Then he turned to Qin Wen and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you seniors for not killing." ”

Watching the officer lead the soldiers to ride away, Qin Wen looked up at the blood-like remnant sun in the distance, the ground under his feet had been dyed into patches of black spots by dried bloodstains, and many unripe crops were torn by these hungry refugees, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Since ancient times, human life in troubled times is like grass and mustard, I don't think there are many high-level monks in these countries, it shouldn't pose much threat to us, and if we encounter such a thing again, we can save one by one." ”

These monks behind Qin Wen, in addition to Han Shang, who had long been accustomed to war, although the other few Xuanshi monks were all living in a chaotic place like the Expulsion City, bloody conflicts were very common, but this cruel war scene was the first time they had seen it, they saw the corpses everywhere being eaten by wild dogs, and they all had a desolate feeling from the bottom of their hearts, and after listening to Qin Wen's words, they all nodded one after another.

Everyone walked forward silently, and Qin Wen turned around and asked Han Shangdao at this time, "Which country is this Huichuan Country fighting with now?"

Han Shang shook his head and said: "I haven't heard the name of this country of Huichuan when I left here, at that time, there were also several small countries here, and there were often wars, it is estimated that this country was established in less than fifty years, this place is not the most chaotic, I have seen a place change three dynasties in ten years, basically the throne has not yet been secured." was overthrown by another group of monks. ”

These Xuanshi monks of the caravan were all stunned after hearing this, although they were all in the city of expulsion, but they still knew a little about the history of the continent, a country like Daqi had stood for tens of thousands of years, and it was still a relatively short time, before the demons attacked the spiritual energy crack. There are even dynasties that have existed for a longer period of time.

In the past ten years, which is only a time for monks like them to retreat once, it is indeed a bit incredible that three dynasties can be changed.

Han Shang's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and he thought for a while: "Master Qin, I think that their war this time is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune, the elixirs and elixirs consumed by both sides of this war are very huge, and there are not many caravans from other countries that can go deep into this kind of war, it is estimated that if we can trade elixirs with them." There should be good profits. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly and said, "I also thought of this matter, but I think the profit of the pill is secondary, and I have a better plan." ”

Han Shang and the monks of the caravan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and Han Shang asked cautiously, "Master Qin, what other plans do you have?"

Qin Wen said with a faint smile on his face: "Actually, when I ransomed that girl just now, I had a preliminary idea, now we are not short of spirit stones, and opening up business is just for a stable income in the future." Let's take this opportunity to gather a group of local monks, I think as long as we can give their families a stable life. I am sure that I will be able to hire many faithful monks. ”

At this time, a monk in the caravan hesitated and said: "Master Qin, the level of the monks here is really too low, basically similar to the low-level idle monks in the mountains and forests, I think we might as well bring people here from the city of expulsion, like the group of soldiers just now, basically I can annihilate them all by myself." ”

Qin Wen shook his head and said, "Although the monks here are of a relatively low rank. However, they are very familiar with this place, we are here for the first time, and we have to rely on the local monks for many things, and now we take this opportunity to gather a group of monks and ask them to help find out the news. It is also very beneficial for our caravan. ”

Han Shang echoed and said: "I think Qin Ye's method is very good, although I have practiced here before, but I haven't come back in the past few decades, I feel that the changes here are very big, our caravan will have to find reliable monks to trade in the future, and it will be much smoother with the help of the locals." ”

Speaking of this, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly and said, "Master Qin, there is another problem, although we can gather a lot of monks, but how to settle them is a problem, the most suitable way is to return to the country of the blade, find a mansion in the town we passed through just now, and then select suitable people from among the fugitive monks to take them in." ”

Qin Wen shook his head and said: "The country of the He Blade is not good now, their entry and exit will be subject to certain restrictions, I am going to be in this country, and then find a suitable manor to take in some monks and their families, when the time comes, Han Shang, you will stay in the manor first, I think there is a spirit level monk in charge, even the army will not dare to harass at will." ”

Han Shang nodded and agreed: "It's no problem for me to stay, but if I go further west, it will be more difficult to walk without a guide, and the cultivation of the monks in the country over there is relatively higher, and there are many monks who have a combined attack formation, all of them are Xuan-level monks, and sometimes they will ambush and attack." ”

Qin Wen pondered slightly, what Han Shang said still made sense, once he traded a large amount of pills, maybe he would be remembered by someone with a heart, and when the time came, as long as the other party sent a spirit level monk to target him, it would be a big trouble, thinking of this, he said: "Let's find a place to take in the monks first, if it really doesn't work, you stay here first, and I will take the caravan back to the capital of the country of He Blade to trade the pills." ”

"After the transaction is completed, I will take them back to the city of expulsion from the original route, and when I come next time, I will bring a spiritual monk or a circle monk, and let them guard the manor here, and then we will travel west. ”

After the plan was decided, Qin Wen continued to march westward with the caravan, there were almost no homeless people on the road here, and the wave just now should have been chased by the soldiers to the country of He Blade, so a vacuum was temporarily formed here, and no homeless people dared to appear here.

The patrolling monks saw a lot, most of them were more than ten or twenty Xuanshi monks, and when they saw that Qin Wen and his party were all high-level monks, they all avoided them from afar, so as not to disturb them.

In the evening, Qin Wen and the others came to a town at the foot of a mountain, the west and north of the town are leaning on the mountain forest, looking from a distance, the beast ridges and upturned cornices can be seen everywhere on the tall buildings, indicating that this town was prosperous in the past, but now there is no light in the whole town, and it looks lifeless in the vast twilight.

Han Shang looked at the map he was carrying at this time, and said with some surprise: "When did you build a town here, when I used to walk this road, it was just a dewy market, and there was no one until noon every day. ”

Qin Wen looked at the dead bodies discarded randomly on the road in the town, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that this place should be looted now, so let's live here today, and save ourselves sleeping in the mountains." ”

Walked to the intersection of the town, Qin Wen looked up and saw a big archway standing at the entrance of the town, the archway was written with three big characters "Lishan Town", this should be the name of the town, Han Shang took out a thin pen and added the name of the town on the map, because it is the mountain behind it, the roads in the town are undulating, but they are all paved with bluestone slabs, and the crazy moss growing against the wall also shows that no one has walked this road during this time.

The doors of the shops on both sides are open, some of them have been knocked into tatters, each shop is in tatters, the counter shelves are thrown everywhere, it must have been looted again and again to cause this, many places are piled up with wood that has not been completely burned, it seems that there are many homeless people passing through here.

As soon as he walked to the crossroads in the center of the town, Han Shang suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and said to Qin Wen: "Master Qin, my divine sense just found that there are some monks near the mountains and forests in the west of the town, but their realm is not high, and the highest is the lower level of the Xuan Master. ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said: "Staying in this kind of town that has been ransacked, these people should also be nearby homeless, since they hid in the mountains and forests to the west, it is estimated that they were detected by them when we entered the town, don't disturb them, let's just find a clean place to live overnight." ”

Han Shang nodded and agreed, and the last thing they found was an inn, although the doors and windows were damaged, but because there were no spiritual objects inside, the damage here was also minimal, but it was just a little messy inside, and a Xuanshi monk of the caravan took out a few jars of water from the well behind and washed the ground.

Then Qin Wen and the others crossed their knees in the hall to breathe, and the monk on duty found a pot and some dry firewood, and boiled a pot of rice porridge with the rice they carried, and when the sky was completely dark, Qin Wen and Han Shang both recovered their vitality, drank some rice porridge at will, and continued to practice.

In the middle of the night, Qin Wen suddenly felt a slight aura fluctuation on the street, and suddenly opened his eyes, at this time, Han Shang also felt it at the same time, and after glancing at Qin Wen, Han Shang signaled all the caravan monks with a voice, and then walked out of the room lightly.

As soon as Han Shang walked out of the room, he saw a black shadow flashing on the street outside, and he shouted, "Who is it?"

The sound like a bell suddenly spread through the street, and Qin Wen and the monks of the caravan also walked out of the inn at this time, only to hear a crisp "clang" suddenly sound from the corner next to him. (To be continued......)
