Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dingwu Pass

Lao Gao's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and he asked Qin Wen: "Miss Su, who has been with you just now, her array disk should not be damaged in the mine, can you ask her if she can borrow it?"

Qin Wen nodded, and called Su Ruo into the soundproof barrier, and Lao Gao asked Su Ruo directly: "Miss Su, this time we are going to another cave of purple pulp essence, I don't know if you can borrow it, I can pay you a spar as a reward." ”

Su Ruo was still a little disappointed about the purple pulp essence in the Lonely City Mountain at this time, and when he heard that there was another purple pulp essence mine, his mood suddenly cheered up, so he thought about it and said: "It's no problem to use my array plate, I don't want a spars, and when the time comes, you can give me five thousand catties of ore when the purple pulp essence is mined." ”

Lao Gao didn't know how much ore could be mined now, so he hesitated and said, "Miss Su, isn't this price a little too high?"

Su Ruo didn't know the relationship between Lao Gao and Qin Wen, but this purple pulp essence was indeed what he needed, so he glanced at Qin Wen with some embarrassment, Qin Wen was sandwiched between the two, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Han Duan looked at Su Ruo at this time, just now he could see from the communication between Qin Wen and Su Ruo, and he could also see that Su Ruo was obedient to Qin Wen, and now seeing that the teacher and Su Ruo were a little embarrassed, he directly asked Lu Modao: "Hey, the kid surnamed Lu, how much of the purple pulp essence you found at that time can be mined?"

Lu Mo was called a kid for the first time in hundreds of years, but thinking that his little life was still in his hands, he had to swallow his anger and said: "I haven't calculated this specifically, but according to what I see, it is much bigger than the side of Gucheng Mountain, it should be about 50,000 catties." ”

As soon as the words came out, the people in the entire barrier were stunned, and Lao Gao's excited voice became a little trembling and said: "A thousand catties of ore, this time it is really God helping my young master." ”

At this time, he also felt his gaffe, so he calmed down a little and said to Su Ruo: "Miss Su, if it is really as he said, I will definitely give five thousand catties of ore." ”

Su Ruo nodded in agreement, and then looked at Lu Mo coldly, she had already discovered Lu Mo when she withdrew from the Kulie Ranch, and she also recognized him as the young boy who forced her to jump off the cliff that day, but she never had a chance to ask Qin Wen, how could this Lu Mo follow the monk of Luming City.

However, looking at the current situation, this Lu Mo should have acted as a guide before mining the purple pulp concentrate, which means that he could not avenge the revenge of being forced off the cliff now, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

Lu Mo had discovered Su Ruo a long time ago, he didn't expect that this Su Ruo and Qin Wen were still relatively familiar, thinking about his current situation, he had to hide behind Han Duan in fear to avoid Su Ruo's cold gaze.

Lao Gao said to this Guan Shuo at this time: "Guan City Lord, you are familiar with the geographical location of this area, when do you think it is appropriate for us to leave for the Ancient Beacon Tower?"

After Guan Shuo and Gao Zhang discussed a few words in a low voice, Guan Shuo spoke: "The terrain in this area is not complicated, and there is no tribe between here and the ancient beacon tower, and we don't have to take a detour, I will let Gao Zhang take a look at the situation of the monks outside to breathe, if they are all almost recovered, we can set off now." ”

Lao Gao nodded, waved his hand to remove the soundproof barrier, and stood in the open space waiting for Gao Zhang's news.

Su Ruo looked at Lu Mo's figure, frowned, and just wanted to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard Guan Shuo behind him ask: "Miss Su, I see that your array is from the Dao Sect, I don't know where Miss Su studied?"

Su Ruo knew that he was exploring his master's sect, and he also knew in his heart that Guan Shuo had already seen that he was the monk who helped Kulie to set up the formation, so he said lightly: "My master is cultivating in the Ziyun Mountain Range, if the city lord has any matter, he will directly send someone to the vicinity of Ziyun Mountain to say my name, and he will naturally know my master's sect." ”

Guan Shuo heard the four words of the Ziyun Mountain Range, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang, this Ziyun Mountain is a holy place in the eyes of the cultivators of the entire continent, although the name is a mountain range, but it is included in the mountains within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and it is the place where several countries in the continent meet, among which there are more than 10 million cultivators.

Every few years, there will be some sects down the mountain to select outstanding young people as apprentices, all the selected teenagers are the best of their peers, due to the complexity of the terrain, these sects are not limited to a certain race, for hundreds of years because the holy mountain of the Hu nationality has become increasingly lonely, there are also many Hu holy masters who have been there to apprentice and practice.

At the beginning, Guan Shuo also wanted to go to the Ziyun Mountain Range to apprentice and cultivate, but due to his limited talent, he was rejected by several sects, and finally had to cultivate on his own.

Guan Shuo's heart couldn't help but hesitate, he was not afraid of the division behind Su Ruo, but although Su Ruo helped Ku Lie defeat his city guards when the two armies were fighting, he also helped himself crack Ku Lie's formation today, and this grudge couldn't help but make him entangled.

Lao Gao had already vaguely guessed the cause of the incident at this time, but now that Guan Shuo and Su Ruo were the objects he relied on, he walked out and said: "Today we can withdraw from the tribe of the Hu people, thanks to Miss Su's guidance, I didn't expect Miss Su to be a disciple of the Dao Sect in the Ziyun Mountain Range, and she is really a famous teacher, I really admire." ”

Guan Shuo saw Lao Gao come out to round the field for himself, so he stopped mentioning this matter, his face returned to calm, and he walked in the direction of Gao Zhang.

Su Ruo also gestured slightly to Lao Gao, she was also the first time to go down the mountain to practice, she didn't know much about human affairs, and she didn't know how to respond to what Lao Gao said, according to her cold temperament, she nodded and signaled.

At this time, Guan Shuo took Gao Zhang back to Lao Gao's side and said, "Elder Gao, the monks have all breathed, let's set off now." ”

Lao Gao nodded, and Guan Shuo flew out of the ridge first, and then the rest of the monks followed behind the two and flew in the direction of the ancient beacon tower.

Along the way, Qin Wen found that Su Ruo had been staring coldly behind him, and he didn't walk with him, just walked with Ao Yu lightly.

After a while, Qin Wen found that Su Ruo's gaze was on Lu Mo behind him, so he returned to Su Ruo's side with some curiosity and said, "Su Ruo, what's wrong? Do you know this Lu Mo?"

Su Ruo knew that his eyes were discovered by Qin Wen, and his face softened and said, "When you rescued me in the valley, it was this Hu Ren Holy Master named Lu Mo who forced me down the cliff. ”

Qin Wen only understood the reason at this time, although Lu Mo had already taken Mo Si San, and the power of life and death was controlled by himself, but he still had to rely on Lu Mo to break the formation outside the purple pulp concentrate cave, and it would be a little inappropriate to hand him over to Su Ruo now.

Seeing Qin Wen's slightly hesitant expression, Su Ruo also knew what Qin Wen was thinking, so his face relaxed and said, "Qin Wen, now mine the purple pulp essence first, and talk about other things later." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and the two flew forward side by side, and after about an hour, Qin Wen saw a deserted beacon tower standing on a desolate hillside from a distance.

At this time, Guan Shuo in front had already fallen on the hillside, and all the monks fell down behind him in turn, Lao Gao Xiangxia looked at the valley, and saw that the gray aura inside surrounded the entire valley, and even the several small valleys next to it were shrouded in this layer of light mist.

Qin Wen was also observing the terrain on the edge of the ancient beacon tower, only to see that the valley was more than ten miles away, the terrain was open, and there were some ruins of the ruins of the ancient city wall, and this was still within the rule of the Hu people, the Hu people lived as nomads and would not build a city outline in this place, so he asked the second elder beside him curiously: "Elder, what kind of place is this? How can there be a city wall." ”

Gao Zhang said next to him at this time: "This was originally one of the border passes of Dingwu Pass, the army of Motuo once occupied this pass, at that time our army of Daqi retreated to Luming City, after Motuo died, the city lord also moved a part of the troops stationed here, but because of the appearance of the demon domain on the mountain road that must be passed, some border people who followed the migration fled back to Luming City. ”

"This pass is abandoned here, and now the tribes of the Hu tribe are not afraid to pass through here, if the formation of the Demon Domain is broken this time, I think there will be a group of troops stationed here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Hu people can't break through the defense line of the pass without ten times the number of soldiers. ”

Qin Wen looked into the distance, and saw that the now desolate Dingwu Pass was full of open fields inside and outside, but the side was a continuous mountain range, and it was impossible for a large number of military horses to cross the pass.

The second elder also nodded and agreed: "My eldest brother and I also came here with the city lord back then, but at that time, it was still General Qi who guarded the pass, although we were not the army of Great Qi back then, General Qi was still very supportive of the militia that resisted the Hu people, and allocated a lot of grain, grass and weapons. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Wen with emotion and said: "At that time, I was about the same age as Ah Wen now, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, our generals are now the city lords, and the old general Qi has also been transferred back to the capital." ”

At this time, after Lu Mo on the side checked the specific direction in the valley, he said to Lao Gao: "Okay, I have already found the intersection of the formation, and after I break the formation, I will come out and lead you in." ”
