Qin Wen nodded, and walked to the side of the wooden frame with Lu Mo, Han Shang casually lifted the silk cloth covering the wooden frame more than one zhang wide and two zhang long, revealing the sand table inside, which surprised both Qin Wen and Lu Mo.

The whole sand table is fixed on the wooden frame with silver, the sand used in the sand table is gold sand, the desert is unobstructed on the entire sand table, on the right side of the desert is a small castle built with spirit stones, these castles are only the size of a palm, but the carving is very fine, if you want to enlarge it, it is almost no different from the real castle.

There are also many rivers near the castle, these rivers are made of a kind of spiritual essence liquid, which flows slowly in the river made of gold sand, although the entire sand table does not consume much spiritual objects, but this exquisite workmanship also allows Qin Wen and Lu Mo to see that Han Shang has indeed put a lot of energy into this.

Han Shang walked in front of the sand table at this time, picked up a wooden pole made of fine sand and said: "Master Qin, this is the sand table I have drawn over the years, there are the cities of expulsion, as well as the mountains and forests and deserts in the west, and if you go further west, they are the countries where I used to live." ”

Qin Wen and Lu Mo walked to the sand table, pointed to the easternmost city carved with spirit stones on the far right of the sand table, and said, "Is this the city of expulsion?"

Han Shang nodded and said: "I like to draw sand tables since I was a child, and when I was practicing, I once worshipped a more famous local sand table master as a teacher, so I am very sensitive to direction and architecture, as long as I have been to a place once, I can carve and draw it in the sand table." ”

As he spoke, he pointed the wooden pole in the direction of the far right and said, "This is the eastern city of the expulsion city, I have only been to the private field on the edge of the eastern city, so this piece of spiritual grass represents the private field, next." It is the east city, the west city, here is the gate of the west city, there are private fields, mountains and forests, and the west side of the mountains and forests is the desert. ”

"I have drawn the general shape of the desert according to the maps drawn by my predecessors, and there are many places that are just a rough shape. However, the two roads I have walked are not bad at all, this is the road I took when I came to the City of Expulsion, and this is the road I wrote down when I looked at Huang Wuye's trade route. ”

At this time, his wooden pole pointed to the road to the north: "This road is a road that the monks of the Expulsion City are more familiar with, and it is also the road that many families who want to open up trade routes are most concerned about, among which the desert is nearly five thousand miles long, and there is a city called Double Star City in the middle, and the east side of Double Star City is the place where the road has the most outlets, and it is also the most difficult place to open up trade routes. However, the maintenance of the teleportation array is also a large amount of money. ”

Qin Wen thought of the spirit boat on his body, and said: "Huang Wuye should also have a spirit boat on his body, so why doesn't he use the spirit boat to pass through these storm areas, in that case, the spirit objects he brings at one time should be no less than the teleportation array." ”

Han Shang shook his head and said, "Master Qin, it seems that you don't know much about the storm on the periphery of the Expulsion City, and the idea of using the Spirit Boat to pass through the storm area has been used for a long time, when the storm rolled up. Below is the wind and sand, and above is a more violent surge of aura. Ordinary spirit boats can't resist this kind of surge at all, the most common is the destruction of the boat, I heard Fang Zhao say, for so many years, only one monk escaped from the storm area after the spirit boat was destroyed, and since then. No monk ever drove the boat past here anymore. ”

"Although the teleportation array is also easy to destroy, but it can withstand some small storms, I think Huang Wuye is thinking about stopping this teleportation during the most violent time period of the storm, and in the season when the storm is relatively rare, his teleportation array can play a good role. Judging from the news that Fang Fu heard during this time, the Huang Mansion obviously did not have enough grasp of the storm. ”

Lu Mo was a little curious at this time: "Didn't you just say that? Storms are also divided into seasons, since you all know these things, I think Huang Wu has also done a lot of field surveys, and it should have been decades since he started to build trade routes, and the habits of this kind of storm should also be able to master some laws." ”

Han Shang hesitated for a moment and replied: "The storm belt in the west is generally in the season when there are more storms, there are more small storms, and occasionally there are big storms, and the teleportation array is used in the season when small storms are frequent, and the maintenance cost is too great, and it is estimated that the profits from transporting spiritual objects are a little beyond their means." ”

"And in the season when the storm is scarce, basically the storm is a big storm, there is no small storm at all, and he can't control the time when the storm arrives, in case there is a storm in the process of teleportation, it is even people and things are put in it, I estimate that Huang Wuye can control the storm time in a year is extremely limited, at most about ten days. ”

Lu Mo couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "If you transport spiritual objects in ten days, it is indeed tighter, but you can also transport a lot of things, at least the spirit stones that maintain the teleportation array can be earned." ”

Han Shang shook his head and said: "These ten days are not even the time to be connected, the longest time will not exceed three days, at both ends of the teleportation array are dangerous areas with frequent storms, I estimate that he doesn't dare to pile up the goods in that place and wait for the storm to pass, so according to my estimate, he has been losing money now." ”

Qin Wen looked at Twin Star City at this time and thought for a while, "Then the monks of this Twin Star City are deserts on both sides, how did the monks in their city get out?"

Han Shang pointed to the desert west of Twin Star City with a wooden pole and said: "The desert here is relatively calm, basically there will be a fixed storm period every year, as long as you avoid the storm period and go west from Twin Star City, it will be much safer, generally speaking, the monks of Twin Star City go to the west more, there is nothing special, basically no one will come to the Expulsion City." ”

"If you go west from Twin Star City, you will reach the first western country, which is composed of more than a dozen castles called the country of He Blade, which is generally relatively stable, and they also have relatively strong forces, and they have not been captured by other countries in this thousand years. ”

Lu Mo thought for a while and said, "You said that the first place Huang Wu had to go to open up the trade route was Twin Star City, and then pass through Twin Star City to that country of He Blades, how does the price of spiritual objects over there compare with Daqi?" Speaking of this, he immediately thought that Han Shang had never been to Daqi, so he changed his words: "You don't know the price of spiritual objects in Dao Daqi, how about comparing it to the Expulsion City?"

Han Shang pondered for a moment and said: "The ore is much lower, it is estimated that the price difference can reach one to ten, and the difference in the price of the elixir can also reach one to five, that is, there are fewer Dan masters on their side, and the elixir is almost the same as here, and some high-level elixirs are transported from here to there, and they can also earn some spirit stones." ”

"But the magic weapons over there are very advantageous, and they are relatively cheap, and there can be a difference of one to fifteen when they are transported here, I have also heard of the price of spiritual objects over there in Daqi, and the others are about the same, but the magic weapons can also make money by transporting them from the west to Daqi, and some high-level sophisticated magic weapons may be able to earn more." ”

Qin Wen looked at the edge of the sand table at this time, which was covered by desert, and asked: "When I was in Daqi, I also heard the legend that there is a country in the West, but there are many monks who have never been to that place, do you know that in addition to the road of the Expulsion City, there is still a passage between the East and the West?"

Han Shang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but there are also many legends about the Great Qi in the east in the West, as well as the Great War of Dao Demons, at that time, my master wanted to draw a map of the entire continent, but when he went to the east, the most marginal part of the Western West, it was a piece of mountains, and I heard from the nearby Orion that there were many spirit beasts in the depths of these mountains, some of them were already holy ranks, and I heard that there were spirit beasts in the Tribulation Period before, and my master only had Xuan Shi ascending to the upper level at that time, so he didn't dare to move easily." ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, he now has a new understanding of the entire continent, at the beginning, the westernmost place he has been to is the Exorcism Gorge of the Ziyun Mountain Range, and occasionally he has heard some monks say that there is a vast forest mountain range in the depths of the Exorcism Gorge, and now it seems that the western part of the mountain range is the Western country that Han Shang said.

As for whether there are other cultivation countries in the west of those Western countries, this should be something that can only be found after he arrives at that place, thinking of this, Qin Wen took the topic back and said: "You just said that Huang Wuye wants to open up the business route, so where did you say that the safer business road than his one passed by?"

Han Shang took the wooden pole in his hand and pointed to the southwest direction: "The place I am talking about is here, as long as you can pass through here, you don't need to pass through Twin Star City to reach the country of He Blade, the distance here is nearly a thousand miles shorter than that of Twin Star City, you only need to arrange a teleportation array in the middle, and the distance between teleportation arrays is relatively short, and it can be used all year round." ”

Lu Mo looked at the direction that Han Shang was pointing at this time, and couldn't help frowning and said, "I think this place looks like a fog python mouth?"

Han Shang nodded and said: "It is indeed the Fog Python Mouth, the first time I entered the City of Expulsion was this place, I heard Fang Li say before that the Fog Python Mouth is one of the forbidden places in the City of Expulsion, second only to the spiritual energy crack behind, so no one put the exploration room of the trade route there." ”

Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "Although I haven't been to the Fog Python Mouth, I have heard many legends about it in the Expulsion City, there have been some spiritual level monks who have fallen there before, and the entrance to this trade route of yours is set here, are you completely sure that you can pass through this Fog Python Mouth?"
