Chapter 2 The Journey
After the middle-aged man had a word with Zhang Yu, he led the way very attentively.
Zhang Yu and his entourage followed him out of the flying boat berth, and turned to an underground galloping station, after entering the slightly dim underground passage, the sunlight and warmth outside also receded.
Zhang Yu asked the middle-aged man's name, and when he learned that his name was Di Miao, he asked, "Di Langjun, where are you going now?"
Di Miao hurriedly said: "Go to Yazhou, the distance is a little farther, and I have to ask Zhang Xuanxiu to be wronged for a few days." ”
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, and according to his prior understanding, there were more than 600 large gathering places in Kui Pleiades, and it was even more difficult to count small gathering places.
According to the geographical division of Pleiades, the place under his feet is called "Yueguanzhou", Yeya Prefecture is far away from here, when it is in the west of the center of Yuanhai, at least more than 20,000 miles away from here, there is relatively remote, and it seems to be a place where wars are frequent.
And the most prosperous and stable place in the whole Kuisu is the "Tanquan Quan" located in the middle of the land.
Directly above this prefecture is the Yiwei Heavenly City where the main army is stationed, and there is also a Xuanzun incarnation and his disciples in the state, unless there is a large attack by foreign enemies, there will be nothing wrong there.
There were about a dozen people waiting there with large and small luggage, some of them holding children in their hands, and they looked like ordinary state citizens.
When these people saw Zhang Yu and his party coming over, and Zhang Yu was still dressed as a cultivator, they all subconsciously showed a look of awe and avoided some outside.
After waiting for a moment, I heard a flickering sound, and a slightly old looking artifact drove into the station.
When the light on the car receded, I saw that the metal shell outside was pitted, the luster was dim, and in some places it was even completely peeled off.
Di Miao was a little embarrassed and explained: "Zhang Xuanxiu, don't look at this dilapidated car, but I have taken it back and forth many times, and it is still very stable." ”
Zhang Yu didn't care about this, and Di Miao didn't exaggerate, although this gallop looked dilapidated on the surface, but it was only because it had not been cared for for a long time, and there was still plenty of vitality inside, and there was really no problem.
He noticed, however, that almost all the people in the carriage at the front of the car were armored sergeants.
Slightly different from the sergeants seen in the inner layer, these people maintained their normal body shape even though they were wearing outer armor, except that the armor was covered in dust and dirt, and many places were stained with dried black-brown blood, and one of them was missing half of his face armor, and only half of his face was wrapped inside.
As these sergeants sat there with blank expressions, it was obvious that they had not long since they had retreated from the battlefield.
"Zhang Xuanxiu, please here. Di Miao beckoned from the front.
Hearing this voice, some sergeants in front seemed to be alarmed, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and one or two of them saw Zhang Yuhou's eyes, and their eyes became quite unkind.
A sergeant watched Zhang Yu and his party walk towards the upper carriage at the back, and muttered, "Monk, is it from the inner layer, right?
The person who was asked snorted, "How many days will we live? ”
At this time, a sergeant with a serious expression glared at the two people and said, "Don't say a word, our affairs have nothing to do with others." ”
The sergeant's lips twitched a few times, but finally he didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yu stepped into the rear carriage at this time, which was very spacious compared to the crowding in front, and their group occupied the front and rear carriages.
Under Di Miao's arrangement, Li Qinghe sat down in the carriage in front of them, while Zhang Yu walked to the carriage further behind, Miao Danjun wagged his tail slightly and followed.
After pushing open the door of the carriage, Zhang Yu saw that there was already a monk in a cyan cloak sitting here, this person raised his head to look at him, and then reached out and took off the hood, revealing his eyes and the bun on his head, and stood up from his seat, raised his hands, and saluted: "Lian Zhuo, Taoist friends are polite." ”
Zhang Yu also took off the hat covering, and immediately returned a salute, saying: "Zhang Yu, Taoist friends are polite." ”
Seeing his face, Lian Zhuo couldn't help but lose his mind slightly, but he quickly recovered his senses, put down his sleeves, sat back, and asked, "Daoyou walked with his entourage, did he just come from the inner layer?"
Zhang Yu sat down on the soft couch and nodded, "Not bad." Miao Danjun came to his feet and squatted down at this time, this little leopard cat did not take the initiative to show its figure, outsiders could not see it.
Lian Zhuo smiled and said: "I came half a year earlier than Daoyou, I was a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning, but now I have adapted to it, although there are frequent wars here, but as long as you are careful, it is actually better than the inner layer, at least there are not so many constraints." ”
He looked outside and said, "Daoist friends, don't pay attention to the sergeants in front, these people are said to have been attacked by a Shangchen Heavenly monk a few days ago, and the monks who were supposed to cooperate with them threw them away and ran away, and there were more than three hundred armored troops, and in the end there were so many left, no wonder they were full of resentment." ”
Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "That fellow Daoist escaped from the battle?"
Lian Zhuo said casually: "It depends on how to calculate, if you can't win, the Tiancheng Military Government does not encourage my generation to fight to the death, every monk's life is precious, and it can play a greater role in the future against Chentian monks, and now it is a loss to die a one, if the timing is not right, if you can retreat, you can retreat." ”
Zhang Yu didn't know about the situation here, so he didn't make a rash comment, but only asked, "Does Shangchen Heavenly Monk often come here to invade?"
Lian Zhuo said: "From time to time, they come to us, mainly to find a gap to the inner layer, if they find it, the entire earth star may become their target, which is what we try to avoid." ”
When he said this, he frowned slightly, then took out a bottle of pill from his pocket, poured one out and swallowed it, his expression eased.
He raised his head, saw Zhang Yu looking at him, thought for a while, and said, "Do Daoyou know the 'Void Outer Evil'?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it." ”
The outer evil of the void is the first problem that the cultivators who have arrived in the inner layer have to face.
If this kind of external evil corrodes the supernatural, if left unchecked, the monk's power will be continuously weakened, and the life level will continue to degrade, and it may even transform into an ordinary person in the end.
He felt unwell that day, but in fact he was infected by the evil of the void.
Lian Zhuo said: "I didn't think much of it at first, and I didn't think so, but after a few days, I actually felt hungry and tired.
It is necessary to know that my generation has a serious consumption of essence, and it can also self-regulate, so that such a situation will never occur, but in fact, this is infected by external evils. “
He raised the pill bottle in his hand, "This matter can only be overcome with pills." But it's okay in normal times, the more you use magic spells against the enemy, the more vulnerable you are to invasion, and every time I go back, I have to go into the customs clearance and sit and watch for a while before I can reconcile and come back. ”
He looked at Zhang Yu and persuaded, "Daoist friends also need to be careful, it is best to take the pill as soon as possible to avoid the invasion of external evils." ”
Zhang Yujaw said: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
After feeling unwell that day, he originally thought that he would also take the pill to resist, but then he used his mental strength to urge the heavenly clothes from time to time, but he successfully covered the invasion here, and it was obvious that there was more than one way to resist the external evil.
Just between the two talking, the car kept speeding forward, and a day later, they came to the station in the next prefecture, but at this moment there were still two days away from Yeya Prefecture.
At this time, the people in the carriage could gradually feel that the temperature outside had dropped a lot.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and when he looked through the surface, he saw that the outside had become a land of ice and snow, and the plains were covered with snow.
He and Lian Zhuo are both cultivators and are not affected by this, and the three Li Qinghe outside are also wearing divine robes and armor, and they are not afraid of the cold.
Not long after the car stopped, a middle-aged monk who looked about forty years old came into the carriage, this person had deep eyebrows, well-defined cheeks, and very sharp eyes.
It's just that not long ago, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the noise was getting louder and louder, and the car was supposed to drive but was not on the road for a long time.
Zhang Yu turned his eyes and looked out through the hatch, and saw that it was a group of sergeants with cracks and dust on their outer armor who wanted to squeeze into the carriage, but the galloping guard did not allow it.
One of the sergeants said angrily: "There are still so many empty carriages, why don't you let us get on? We still have many wounded comrades here, and we must be sent to the front of the furnace state for medical treatment." ”
The guard manager refused: "We are a passenger car, and the tickets were booked in advance, so we can't let you go up for no reason." ”
At this time, a team leader squeezed out, his outer armor was tattered, and the exposed places were frostbite, he hugged his fists and said: "This guard, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the state, and the injuries of my comrades cannot be delayed, I see that the back of the carriage is still empty, and I hope that the guards will be accommodating, take us for a ride, and we will get off when we get to the front prefecture, and we can double the fare." ”
Guan Wei was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's not that I'm not accommodating, there are a few ...... who are sitting in the back of the carriage."
A sergeant suddenly rushed up and said angrily: "Can the monk fly away, what are you doing in the carriage? Where are you going, can't you just fly away by yourself?"
The team leader stopped him and scolded, "Stop!" he clenched his fist at Guan Wei, "Can we have a few words with those cultivators?"
In the carriage, the middle-aged monk suddenly looked at Zhang Yu and Lian Zhuo, and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy for these soldiers, just let them come up, what do the two Taoist friends think?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
Lian Zhuo looked a little reluctant, but seeing that the two of them agreed, he couldn't say anything against it, so he only said: "Since the two Taoist friends have said so, let them come up." ”
