Volume 2 The Rise of Great Xia Chapter 60: The Junction of the Two Countries
Zhang Hu's convoy did not stop all the way after leaving Kyoto, and kept rushing towards Broken Spirit City.
After arriving at Broken Spirit City, Captain Er, who was guarding the gate of the South City, greeted him with a red face, and after paying a few trees from the depths of the barren forest, which made Ge Xu grit his teeth and red eyes, he almost jumped out and desperately cherished the medicinal herbs with Captain Er, Zhang Hu's convoy slowly entered Broken Spirit City.
Along a specially planned trade road in the city, allowing the caravan vehicles of the two countries to pass slowly for a long time, the convoy finally slowly drove out of the city gate north of Broken Spirit City, of course, the price is still a few herbs that made Ge Xu almost out of control, for this reason, Ge Xu put all the herbs on the truck back into his storage gourd as soon as he left the Broken Spirit City Shouwei line, and locked himself alone in a carriage for the next few days, hardly talking to anyone else, occasionally muttering from the carriage where he was located, to the effect that he was cursing his master and uncle, and also lamenting the loss of medicinal herbsγ
The convoy out of the Broken Spirit City, in front of the flat desert, within a radius of a hundred miles, there are no trees or even a small grass, the Broken Spirit City behind it is like a fierce beast entrenched between the cliffs on both sides, firmly holding the passage between the Yuan Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom, the Broken Spirit City is gradually moving away, and the next distance will set foot on the land of the Yuan Kingdom, everyone's mood is full of complexity, except for Chen Fan's master and apprentice and Nie Chen, who are a little depressed, even Yuan Pi, who has the most nerves, was silent for several days in the following time.
On the way of the team, from time to time, the rangers of the Xia Kingdom would be seen whizzing on the road in small groups of threes and twos, and these cavalrymen would ride their horses from a distance after seeing the convoy, and only after they could see clearly the tiger head flag fluttering in the convoy, they would turn around and return to the patrol line.
Slowly, there were fewer and fewer Xia Country Rangers who appeared around the convoy, and in the end, there were no Xia Kingdom Rangers for a long time, and grass and other vegetation gradually appeared on the ground.
Under the command of Dao Yin, the convoy slowly stopped, and everyone walked out of the car, looking at the scene in front of them that was completely different from the surroundings of Broken Spirit City, perhaps for defense, there were no plants outside Broken Spirit City at all, but the yellow sand that could not be seen at a glance, but here, where everyone stood, there was still a sea of yellow sand behind them, and in front of them was a green patch, and the green grass began to extend forward in front of everyone, and not far away, there was a lush forest.
"This is the junction of the Yuan Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom, and after the woodland in front of me, it is the first city of my Yuan Kingdom, Yunling City!" Dao Yin excitedly explained to everyone: "When we get here, we will be safe, I didn't expect the journey to be so smooth!"
Looking at the green in front of them, everyone's sorrow after leaving the Xia Kingdom seemed to be somewhat relieved, and their tense complexions were also slightly relieved.
Dao Yin's figure began to change, and after a while, Dao Yin, who looked like an old man that everyone had seen in the broken formation space of the barren forest, appeared in everyone's eyes again, Zhang Daoyi knelt on the ground excitedly, bowed deeply in the direction where Tianyuan Sect was, and a trembling voice came out of his mouth: "Twenty years, a full twenty years, I Dao Yi is back!"
Chen Fan's master and apprentice, Ge Xu, Nie Chen, Yuan Pi and others from the Xia Kingdom who were standing beside Dao Yin were silent for a while, and they all took a few steps back and carefully grabbed a handful of yellow sand from the yellow sand, and carefully packed it with a small bag and put it in their arms, Long Xuan and Ling Yun didn't understand much about this, they just looked at everyone's movements in surprise, the Nine Demon Venerable pursed his lips and didn't say anything, and the Nine Demon Venerable had been pulled by the little girl Ling'er to chase after the moon cat together.
After putting away the yellow sand that symbolized the homeland, Yuan Pi and the others came to Dao Yin's side again, Nie Chen looked ahead, and asked with a slightly strange mouth: "Senior, isn't the Yuan Kingdom afraid of the Xia Kingdom's sneak attack? You see so much vegetation and trees, if the Xia Kingdom's army sneaks into it and then chooses the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, wouldn't the Yuan Kingdom be very passive?"
When Daoyin heard this, he laughed, and at this time, Zhang Daoyi also finished kneeling, stood up from the ground, and laughed as well when he heard the words.
"The Xia Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom have been hostile for so many years, and the Xia Kingdom has launched countless sneak attacks on the Yuan Kingdom, but none of them have been successful, and in the end they all had to evolve from a sneak attack to a frontal attack!" Zhang Daoyi smiled weirdly: "Nie Xiaoyou, you and Long Xuan will know it at the same time." β
"Hey, what's the matter, tell me Yuan someone to come forward and try it!" Yuan Pi shouted in surprise, he grabbed Long Xuan, and regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he jumped forward.
The two officially stepped on the land of the Yuan Kingdom, but nothing strange happened, Yuan Pi stopped, let go of the palm holding Long Xuan, scratched the back of his head strangely and looked back, Zhang Daoyi and the others who were standing at the junction of the grass and the yellow sand did not seem to have any changes.
The rest of the people also looked at Zhang Daoyi and Daoyin strangely, Zhang Daoyi smiled and did not speak, while Daoyin shouted at Yuan Pi and Long Xuan: "You two go forward." β
Yuan Pi and Long Xuan glanced at each other and then turned around and continued to walk forward, anyway, it was impossible for Daoyin and Zhang Daoyi to deliberately harm the two of them, so they simply continued to move forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, the fourth step just fell, Long Xuan continued to walk forward without any obstacles, but there was a situation on Yuan Pi's side, the mutation occurred in an instant, countless small grasses on the grass suddenly grew rapidly, and the long blades of grass like whips frantically whipped towards Yuan Pi, at the same time, in the woods not far away, countless trees shook wildly, and bursts of sharp whistles sounded from those trees, and circles of sound waves spread out to all around.
Long Xuan, who was only a few steps away from Yuan Pi, was frightened when the mutation occurred, but those long whip-like blades of grass were consciously spared at the moment when they approached Long Xuan, and then frantically pounced on Yuan Pi, Yuan Pi only blocked the volley of more than a dozen grasses and was wrapped into a zongzi by countless swarming grass blades, and fell helplessly to the ground rubbing around like silkworm chrysalis, everyone was stunned, and then like Zhang Daoyi and Daoyin, they couldn't help laughing.
Nie Chen secretly warned himself suspiciously that he must be careful of Zhang Daoyi and Daoyin, the two old and disrespectful bastards, and laughed madly at Yuan Pi: "Hahahaha, Yuan Monkey, I was supposed to explore the way, but I didn't expect you to take the lead, enjoy it, hahahaha." β
Yuan Pi was wrapped in those blades of grass so tightly that he couldn't even speak, and he could only twist his thick body in protest in the face of everyone's laughter, but his wrapped body writhed, not only did it not have any protest effect, but it caused everyone to laugh more violently, especially the Nine Demon Venerable rolled on the ground with laughter.
"Yuan Kingdom immortal cultivators mainly rely on all kinds of spiritual power cultivation between heaven and earth, and they are particularly sensitive to all kinds of spiritual power breath, and the small grass on the grass and the trees in the woods have already mutated after being continuously improved by Yuan Kingdom immortal cultivators, these plants are extremely sensitive to the breath of bloodline cultivators, although they will not cause any substantial damage, but they are enough to warn. Zhang Dao smiled breathlessly, and did not forget to explain to everyone: "So the Yuan Kingdom does not need to send a large number of rangers to guard like the Xia Kingdom, and it is not feasible for the Xia Kingdom to sneak attack the Yuan Kingdom, because such grasslands and woods exist around almost every city in the Yuan Kingdom." β
Nie Chen nodded, and asked strangely: "Since the lethality of these plants is insufficient, then why don't the immortal cultivators of the Yuan Kingdom add deadly toxins to these plants? If so, then these plants are not just a warning effect, after all, as you said, the Xia Kingdom often attacks the Yuan Kingdom." β
"It's not that you can't increase the lethality of these plants...... Zhang Daoyi and Daoyin stopped laughing, their eyes became deep, and they sighed softly, Zhang Daoyi said: "But you must know that both the Xia Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom are actually human races! β
Hearing this, Nie Chen, Ge Xu, and Chen Fan's master and apprentice couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then bowed lightly to Zhang Daoyi and Daoyin: "I'm waiting to be taught!"
"Grandpa Zhang, since these plants are so sensitive to the aura of blood cultivators, how can we enter the Yuan Kingdom?" Ling Yun thought for a moment and asked a key question: "You see, there are quite a few blood cultivators among us. β
"The method is very simple!" It was Dao Yin who answered Ling Yun, only to see him raise his hand and lightly point at Yuan Pi, who was wrapped in blades of grass like a zongzi, and a jade plaque flew towards Yuan Pi.
Where the jade card passed, those crazy blades of grass actually quieted down in an instant and slowly retracted the crazy grass blades, and returned to the state that everyone saw at the beginning, and the blades of grass that tightly wrapped Yuan Pi also began to slowly retract and release Yuan Pi, the jade plate snapped to Yuan Pi's body, and after a pause, it turned into a mist and drilled into Yuan Pi's skin, and the trees that were still screaming not far away also stopped shaking and screaming at this time.
Yuan Pi jumped up from the ground and ran back quickly without saying a word, and when he finally ran out of the grass, he looked back at the grass with suspicion, and scolded Nie Chen, who had long been accustomed to Yuan Pi, didn't bother to take care of this captive at all, but looked at Dao Yin with an inquiring look.
"We said before that there are also blood cultivators in the Yuan Kingdom, and these blood cultivators still get along well with the immortal cultivators, if there is no way to exempt these plants from the induction of blood cultivators, then wouldn't the blood cultivators of the Yuan Kingdom be annoyed to death? There is only one way to exempt these plants from induction, that is, the immortal cultivator uses special means to turn his spiritual power into a recognition token and put it on the blood cultivator, and the blood cultivator who has been approved by the immortal cultivator can naturally be unhindered and not interfered by these plants. β
"This is also the reason why Xia Guo has always wanted to capture immortal cultivators alive, without immortal cultivators, the bloodline induction plants all over the Yuan Kingdom can make the blood cultivators of Xia Kingdom difficult in the land of Yuan Kingdom!" Zhang Daoyi raised his hand to connect the dots after adding this sentence, and the three jade cards flew to Jiuyoumin, Nie Chen, and Chen Fan respectively, and instantly turned into mist and drilled into the bodies of the three of them.
Just when Dao Yin wanted to place an approval token on Ling Yun's body, he was stopped by the Nine Ghost Demon Venerable, and in the confusion of Dao Yin and Zhang Daoyi, the Nine Demon Venerable directly opened his mouth to let Ling Yun Linzi go.
As a result, Zhang Daoyi and Dao Yin were very puzzled, Ling Yun, who was obviously a blood cultivator in their eyes, walked to the edge of the forest without being affected, but the plant that was particularly sensitive to the breath of a blood cultivator did not move at all, and Dao Yin, who did not know much about Ling Yun, almost jumped out to catch Ling Yun and study it, but when he thought of the Nine Demon Venerable standing on the side, Dao Yin couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Anyway, there are a lot of strange things that have happened to Ling Yun, as a blood cultivator, he doesn't have a god magic appearance, and there is a terrifying body and strength comparable to the people of the Yuan family, an incomparably perverted recovery speed, and now it is not a big deal to add a special feature that does not attract the attention of these special plants, Zhang Daoyi comforted himself while persuading Dao Yin not to care about this matter, after all, there is an ancient god and demon as a second uncle, isn't it?
