Chapter 397: Stalking
Lu Mo nodded and agreed, in the past few years of following Qin Wen, he had already seen that Qin Wen's determination was to seek the Tao wholeheartedly, the tenacity of the Dao heart was something he had never seen in his life, Qin Wen's understanding of the pill had far surpassed the Xuan-level realm, and he still had the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Skill that Lu Mo needed.
Although at the beginning, Lu Mo was captured and then took ink silk to follow Qin Wen, but after that period of time to get along with Tianmi Sect and Qin Wen, the relationship between the two changed, Lu Mo was because he couldn't escape Qin Wen's control, and tried his best to cater to Qin Wen, so as not to be killed by Qin Wen at any time.
Qin Wen did not have a capable assistant like Lu Mo, so he gradually trusted him, although Qin Wen had Han Duan and Ao Yu under him at that time, but the two of them had obvious deficiencies compared with Lu Mo, Han Duan did not have the array plate in Lu Mo's hand at that time, and Ao Yu was just incarnated by the spirit bird, and there were natural defects in the handling of human feelings.
It wasn't until he arrived in the City of Expulsion that Lu Mo's role by Qin Wen's side became more and more important, he had lived in the City of Expulsion, and he knew the City of Expulsion the most among everyone, and he was also a mage under Motuo before, although he had never commanded a large army, but it was more than enough to be in charge of a mansion.
Qin Wen knew in his heart that if he hadn't been in the City of Expulsion in the past few years, without Lu Mo helping him take care of the chores in the mansion, distributing and recruiting monks, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to do what he is now, and delaying the time for cultivation was absolutely indispensable, so in the City of Expulsion, he was now relying more and more on Lu Mo.
Now Lu Mo's mentality has also changed, when he knows that Qin Wen has the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Skill he needs in his hands from the first to the sixth layer. He was sure to follow Qin Wen to learn all these skills, even if he returned to his own sect in the Demon Clan, it would be impossible for him to get these skills as easily as he was by Qin Wen's side, not to mention that it was still unknown whether his sect had a sixth-layer skill.
So he tried his best to take care of all the affairs in the mansion for Qin Wen, and it can be seen from Qin Wen's reward tips to all the monks that Qin Wen is absolutely not stingy with the monks who do things for him, like Lu Mo's great contribution in the Qin Mansion, it is estimated that even if he asks for the skill of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon now, Qin Wen will give it to him without hesitation.
After the two discussed the matter, Qin Wen went to Han Shang's room. Han Shang was seen sitting on a chair by the sand table. Holding a book in his hand, there was also a cyan porcelain bowl containing half a bowl of gold sand on the desk next to him, muttering a sentence in the book, and then picking up the gold sand and mending it on the sand table.
I heard Qin Wen's footsteps. Han Shang hurriedly stood up from his chair. He put down the gold sand and books in his hand and said, "Master Qin." Why are you here?"
Qin Wen smiled slightly: "I'm here to see you, and by the way, I want to ask when you have time, let's take a walk on the trade route in the mouth of the fog python." I want to clear the trade routes as soon as possible, Fang Zhao has already told me the trade routes leading to the Hu people, it is best for us to combine the two trade routes, use the Expulsion City as a transit point, and then make profits from the trade of spiritual objects between the East and the West. ”
Han Shang didn't expect Qin Wen to plan the trade route so quickly, he had been in the Fang family for so many years, he had been accustomed to Fang Zhao's character of swallowing water and being cautious to the extreme, now seeing Qin Wen acting so vigorously, he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he said: "Anytime, I have time now, Qin Ye is not planning carefully, the dredging of this trade route requires the construction of a teleportation array, and the spiritual objects and spars consumed are relatively large." ”
Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "The teleportation array is not a problem, the spiritual objects and spars in my hands are also enough, these expenses are necessary, and after the trade route is opened, the profits brought to us are only a drop in the penny, by the way, what are you doing?" After speaking, Qin Wen looked at the golden sand in Han Shang's porcelain bowl with interest.
Han Shang hurriedly explained: "I imitated this sand table according to the one that Master drew back then, and there are also some paths that I have walked, but some places are not accurate enough, so I bought some diaries written by monks after traveling in the Expulsion City, and tried to make the sand table as accurate as possible." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "If you have time now, then let's leave today, how many monks do you think is more appropriate?"
Han Shang thought for a while and said: "This is the first time for Qin Ye to go to the mouth of the fog python, it is easy to attract the attention of other families when there are more people with him, I am a spirit level monk, and it should be safe to bring another spirit level monk, it is best to bring another monk who is proficient in the magic array, let him see the direction where the teleportation array is placed, and after we come back, we can make further preparations." ”
Qin Wen bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, you follow me to find someone now, everything is ready, let's go." As he spoke, he walked out of his courtyard with Han Shang.
After arriving outside, Qin Wen took a spirit-level monk of the Zhou family, and then asked Lu Mo to find a monk who was proficient in the formation, and the four of them walked out of the mansion gate together, and flew towards the gate of the West City.
Out of the gate of the West City, under the leadership of Han Shang, Qin Wen flew across the hillside where he used to practice the spirit boat, followed by private fields and mountain forests, until he reached the edge of the mountain forest, Qin Wen saw that there were fewer and fewer idle monks here, so he said: "Han Shang, the fog python mouth you said is almost here, right?"
Han Shang nodded and said: "There should be a distance of less than a hundred miles, and the fog python mouth is also famous in the city of expulsion, and the idle monks who pass by here are all taking a detour, for fear that they will enter there by mistake and lose their lives inexplicably." ”
Qin Wen looked at the fallen leaves on the ground that were already more than half a foot thick, and some vines were densely wrapped around the trunks of towering trees, some of them were the thickness of baby arms, it seemed that few people passed by, but it was okay, the exit of the trade route was set here, and it was not afraid of being discovered by others.
However, Qin Wen saw the monk surnamed Zhou's brows frowning slightly at this time, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Have you found anything wrong?"
The monk surnamed Zhou nodded and said, "Master Qin, we should be being followed, now there are two Xuanshi monks who are using their divine sense to search the situation nearby, it is estimated that we walked too fast just now, they didn't keep up, so they used their divine sense in the mountains and forests, are you arresting them now?"
Qin Wen pondered slightly, the secret of the trade route must not be leaked out now, so he nodded and said, "You go and catch them, you must not spread the news that we are here to explore the trade route." ”
The monk surnamed Zhou nodded, turned around in an instant and pounced directly on the road he had just taken, and in less than half a cup of tea, Qin Wen and they heard two muffled sounds, and then the monk surnamed Zhou grabbed a monk and flew back, threw the monk on the ground and said: "Master Qin, there is one who wants to slip away, but I have already killed him, and only one is alive." ”
Qin Wen looked at the monk lying on the ground and asked, "Are you the monk in that mansion, why do you want to follow me?"
The monk didn't say a word, Qin Wen casually dragged off the storage bag on the monk's body, looked through it, there were no items in it that could prove his identity, and now this place is not suitable for interrogation, presumably the interrogation could not get any useful confession, so he waved his hand and said: "The matter we have here cannot be leaked, so don't leave it alive." ”
The monk surnamed Zhou agreed, and as soon as he vomited his vitality, the captured monk was shattered and died, and then Han Shang dug a big pit with his flying sword at will, and the monk surnamed Zhou turned back and lifted the body of another monk, threw the two monks into the big pit, and buried the big pit, and everyone continued to move forward.
After an hour, the four of them came to the junction of the desert and the mountains and forests, although the wind is very small now, but there are still a little sand particles on the face, after a small gust of wind and sand blowing, Qin Wen saw a strange scene, the location of the center of the desert in front of him, there is a mountain forest like a green corridor deep into the hinterland of the desert.
This green forest is roughly more than three zhang wide, there is no difference between the trees and the mountains and forests behind them, extending forward to the extreme that their eyes can reach, if you look at Qin Wen, the shortest distance is about three miles, in the desert where storms are frequent, there will be such a forest, although this is the junction of the mountains and the desert, but it is also extraordinarily strange.
Han Shang pointed to the green corridor at this time and said, "Master Qin, that is the road leading to the mouth of the fog python, I'll take out the array plate first, and you all follow me for a while, as long as it's within the range of my array disk, there will definitely be no safety problems." ”
Qin Wen nodded, and followed Han Shang into the woods with a step, the two Zhou family monks in the back have been in the Expulsion City for a long time, and they have also heard of the fog python, and when they came to this place today, they looked a little apprehensive in their hearts, but seeing that the two in front of them had easily walked into the woods that extended in the desert, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and then followed Qin Wen and walked in.
As soon as he got out of the range of the mountains and forests, Qin Wen felt that he had entered a magic circle, looking at the wind and sand outside, sometimes big and small, but he just couldn't blow into it, Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked, "Han Shang, has this place entered the magic circle of the fog python's mouth?"
Han Shang shook his head and said: "The fog python mouth is still ahead, this should be regarded as the guide road to enter the fog python mouth, this formation is just to isolate the wind and sand, there is no aggression for the monks, the sign of the fog python mouth is very conspicuous, and when you get to the place, you will know the way."
