"Yesterday I heard a rare thing, and I happened to tell you about it. One of the guys said suddenly, attracting everyone's attention at once.

"What's the matter?"

"What's new in your mouth?"

"Don't interject, let him talk quickly, don't lose his appetite. ”

“..................”

The group asked curiously.

"Last night I was hungry, so I got up in the middle of the night to get some food at the inn, and I happened to meet two cultivators, and I learned from them that a major event had happened in the cultivation world these days. ”

"Cultivator?"

As soon as the topic was withdrawn to the cultivators, a group of people immediately became interested, and even some people who were leaning against the cave wall and sleeping suddenly opened their eyes, revealing a look of interest.

Cultivators are not far away from the common people, but they are not close to the common people, and the common people love nothing more than to talk about things in the cultivation world, because there are too many things that they do not expect or are shocking to the world.

"That's right, yesterday I heard those two cultivators say that a famous sect called Shenjian Sect in Huaizhou was removed from the cultivation world, and it is said that many people died, and the entire sect was equivalent to annihilation, and the blood flowed like a river, and it was unbearable to see, only a very small number of people survived, and some of the escapees were still being hunted down. ”

"Huaizhou Divine Sword Gate?"

"I know this, my hometown is from Huaizhou, I heard my cousins in my hometown say that this Divine Sword Gate is amazing, it is the largest sect in Huaizhou, and its strength is amazing. ”

Someone interjected and asked, "Since this Divine Sword Sect is a famous and decent family, why was it destroyed?"

"It seems that the remnants of the Demon Sect have been discovered. ”

"Collusion with the remnants of the Demon Sect?"

"That's really innocent, I heard my father say, thirty years ago, the Demon Sect was rampant in our Dafeng Dynasty, and everything was done for evil, if it weren't for the joint efforts of the imperial court and the cultivation world, I don't know how many people would continue to be harmed. ”

“..................”

Chu Zhao sat by the campfire, the light of the fire flickering on his face, listening to their words, there was not much surprise in his heart, he had expected this situation since he sent the letter, but he had been in a hurry these days, and he had not heard these news.

After a day's journey, and in the rain, they all fell asleep in a short time, leaving only a few sabber-bound guards and the leader to be on duty for the night.

The snort in the cave was like thunder, but it couldn't disturb Chu Zhao's train of thought.

The temperature difference between day and night in Bingzhou is not small, especially when it is still raining, with a bit of chill, Chu Zhao is dressed in single clothes but does not feel any discomfort, holding a wooden fork and drawing a rectangular pattern on the ground.

"What is this?"

A soft and pleasant voice sounded, interrupting Chu Zhao's thoughts.

Chu Zhao looked back and saw that a girl wrapped tightly was standing behind him, looking curiously at the strange figure on the ground, a pair of bright eyes were printed with a bonfire, and the flames danced and sparkled in the eyes.

"Sword case. ”

"Sword box?" asked the girl curiously, "for the sword?"

Chu Zhao smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.

"You're a swordsman, why don't you have a sword, are you traveling by yourself?"

The girl was very enthusiastic, sat beside Chu Zhao generously, and asked three questions in a row, looking forward to Chu Zhao's answer.

The women of the Northland are arrogant and informal, Chu Zhao can be regarded as having seen it, if such an act falls in the eyes of the southerners, even if they don't say anything, they will definitely talk about it in their hearts, and they don't know the importance of muttering.

Girls always have to be reserved and must keep a certain distance from strange men.

"It's a swordsman, I came to Bingzhou this time to go to Beimeng to see and broaden my horizons. ”

Seeing Chu Zhao's admitted, the girl's eyes like black gems were bright, and she asked with great interest, "Then are you the cultivator they just said?"

"It seems that you are curious about cultivators?" Chu Zhao asked without admitting or denying it.

"Of course, my father and uncles have traveled all year round, and I have seen many cultivators, and I heard them say that cultivators are very capable, although they cannot move mountains and reclaim the sea, but their combat power is extraordinary, far from being comparable to martial arts. The girl said in a broken thought: "We have a very powerful cultivator in the state, known as the 'Beidi Knife Maniac', with a wave of the long knife, he displayed a hundred-zhang long sword, killing thousands of light horsemen in Beimeng, which is very powerful." ”

The girl's hands were exaggeratedly gesturing, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of admiration.

"The great name of Sun Ce, the sword madman of the northern land, is like thunder, and the famous knife 'Jing Zhongyue' in his hand is also a world-famous magic weapon. ”

Sun Ce, the madman of the Beidi Sword, is one of the top ten grandmasters in the world, and was once the most murderous among the top ten grandmasters by the second master, and is the first master of the Dafeng Dynasty.

The girl said that she had exhibited a hundred zhang swords, which was not the peak of Gongsun Ce's combat power.

"You know this man? Have you seen him? My father had seen him from afar, and said he was a very handsome man, but he didn't know who was higher or lower than you. ”

As a girl, she praised a man's appearance without the slightest shame, but was very sincere and frank.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhao was a little uncomfortable, since he was a child, except for his elders, few people among his peers talked about his appearance.

Just when Chu Zhao didn't know how to answer, the girl's father, who was also the leader of the caravan, came over with a stack of thin mattresses and said, "It's so late and you haven't gone to sleep, hurry up and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”

"Daddy, I'm not sleepy. ”

The girl said coquettishly.

The team leader said with a serious expression: "If you are disobedient again, I won't take you out next time." ”

The girl could only stand up and leave aggrievedly, and when she remembered something, she turned back and smiled at Chu Zhao.

"My name is Gu Shuangshuang, what's your name?"

"Chu Zhao. ”

"Chu Zhao?" the girl read, waved her hand goodbye, and said, "Good night." ”

Chu Zhao watched Gu Shuangshuang leave, and his eyes fell on the team leader beside him with a helpless face.

"The bedding is used at night, it's not cold yet, and the temperature is lower in the middle of the night, so you have to take care of yourself when you go out alone. ”

As a cultivator of the Five Realms, Chu Zhao could already ignore the ordinary weather changes, but he still took the futon and said.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

The team leader nodded and asked, "I heard you chatting with my daughter just now, are you going to Beimeng?"

"Walking around, I heard that there are thousands of miles of desert and thousands of miles of grassland in Beimeng, and I want to see what it is. ”

The team leader nodded in understanding.

He has been going to Beimeng to do business all the year round, and he has seen a lot of Chu Zhao like this, although Beimeng and Dafeng are hostile, but there is indeed a beautiful scenery that Dafeng can't see.

"It's very dangerous for you to go to Beimeng alone, it's better to follow us, there is a good response on the way, and besides, if you don't speak Mongolian, it's hard to walk there. ”

Chu Zhao was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to invite him to join the caravan, he had also encountered a caravan a few days ago, and he wanted to join the caravan because of the problem that the team leader said, but he was rejected.

"Thank you, uncle, if you need any help, just ask. Chu Zhao said gratefully.

The team leader didn't take it seriously when he heard it, a young man who was younger than his daughter, and at first glance, he had just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and what could a young man with fine skin and tender meat do?

In the eyes of the team leader, Chu Zhao only longed for the desert grassland of Beimeng, but he didn't know its chaos and killing, and after seeing the horse bandits and robbers out of the customs, I am afraid that he would not have the heart to see the desert grassland again.

In this pass, too many ignorant and fearless people die in Beimeng every year.
