Chapter 161: The Terrifying Dark Country

Five days later, in the evening, the three of Bai Qi finally arrived safely in Dengxing City.

The speed of the Shangguan Treasure Vault Teleportation Array, compared to the Teleportation Array of the Homeinn Restaurant, was two days faster, so that Chen Yi couldn't help but want to praise the Shangguan Treasure Vault.

Due to the different design of the Shangguan Treasury in each city, the location of the teleportation array is also different, taking the teleportation array of the Shangguan Treasury in Dengxing City as an example, it is only placed in the back hall, and a separate courtyard is not built as a teleportation house.

Therefore, when Bai Qi and the three of them came out of the back hall, they happened to meet Shangguan Tian, the shopkeeper of this branch.

Shangguan Tian was dressed in a green shirt, with gray hair, and was a thin old man, he was ordered to come to Dengxing City at the age of thirty to create the Shangguan Treasure House, and now thirty years have passed.

In the past 30 years, although he has worked hard, he has not been recalled to the family because he has not made too outstanding achievements.

Before Bai Qi and the three of them came out of the back hall, he just picked up Bai Qi's portrait, which was painted by Shangguan Lanyue three years ago and sent to various Shangguan treasure houses.

Looking at the appearance of Bai Qi on the painting, he was a little curious, what did Shangguan Lanyue think, wouldn't those people in the clan who recognized outsiders as younger brothers object?

Shangguan Tian sat behind the counter, looking at the three Bai Qi who came out of the back hall, his brows couldn't help frowning, he felt that there was a scar on the left side of his face, as if he had seen it somewhere.

When Shangguan Tian's eyes swept over the portrait in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Bai Qi in disbelief.

"Master is here, Shangguan Tian has missed the distance, please forgive me!"

Shangguan Tian stood up in a panic, hurriedly came to Bai got up, and saluted respectfully.

He really didn't expect that this legendary young master would appear here.

"Shopkeeper Shangguan, I only came to Dengxing City because of my own business, and I don't have other things, so you don't have to be so polite. Bai Qi dragged Shangguan Tian's hand and helped him up, for fear that Shangguan Tian would misunderstand his intentions, so he preemptively opened his mouth to explain.

Shangguan Tian stood up straight and nodded.

Bai Qi's first impression of him was extremely kind and approachable, and he didn't put on an identity stand, unlike other people in the family, as soon as he went to the family's branch, he was like the emperor inspecting it, and he didn't look good.

It gives people the feeling of being the eldest and his second, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

Even the patriarch Shangguan Lanyue, when he went to the family branch, he was not as arrogant as those people.

Therefore, for Bai Qi, let's not talk about other aspects, Shangguan Tian is still quite satisfied with this point alone.

When Shangguan Tian learned that Bai Qi planned to stay in Dengxing City for a while, he almost didn't hesitate and immediately arranged a room for Bai Qi and the others.

and also prepared a table of good wine and good food to catch the wind and wash the dust for the three of Bai Qi.

In the process of eating, Bai Qi took the opportunity to ask Shangguan Tian about Yang Yan Miasma, but the answer he got was that Shangguan Tian didn't know either.

Generally speaking, no one will deliberately observe whether the yang miasma appears, and people who have not seen the yang miasma may be curious.

But for the people of Dengxing City, this kind of thing has long been strange to them.

After drinking and eating, Shangguan Tian said to Bai Qi: "Although I can't be sure whether Yang Yan Miasma has appeared, I know a place where Yang Yan Miasma has appeared for five consecutive years. ”

"Where is it?" asked Bai Qi excitedly.

"About fifty miles outside the east gate, the top of the mountain called Cassia Mountain!" Shangguan Tian paused, looked at the changing sky, and continued: "It's not too early now, it's better to rest for one night tonight, and tomorrow morning, I'll let someone take you over to have a look." ”

Bai Qi frowned, his face a little reluctant.

It's just getting dark now, what if Yang Yan Miasma secretly appears while he is resting tonight?

As if knowing the worry in Bai Qi's heart, Shangguan Tian said with a smile on his face: "Master, don't worry, the reason why Yang Yan Miasma is called Yang Yan Miasma is because the time when it appears is exactly when the temperature of the sun is the hottest, that is, it will only appear at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

Three o'clock in the afternoon?

Bai Qi looked at Chen Yi suspiciously, didn't he say that the time of appearance was uncertain?

In the end, after Chen Yi's explanation, Bai Qi relieved himself and agreed to rest for one night first and go again the next morning.

It turned out that Chen Ping'an said before that the time of the appearance of the yang miasma is uncertain, which refers to the time when it appears within the year, not the time when it appears on the same day.

Shangguan Tian personally took Bai Qi and the three of them to their respective resting rooms, and was about to leave, when Chen Yi suddenly spoke, hoping that Shangguan Tian would pay more attention to the people who came from Tianji City, because the purpose of these people was very likely to be the things in Bai Qi's body.

Shangguan Tian nodded solemnly.

Even if Chen Yi didn't say anything about this, Shangguan Tian knew what to do.

What is in the body of this young master of the Shangguan family, outsiders already know it, do they still know that the people of the Shangguan family still don't know?

Especially a few days ago, Shangguan Lanyue personally gave an order, and Shangguan Tian didn't dare to be careless.

If something happens to Bai Qi in or around his city, then he will not escape the blame.

On the contrary, Situ Ling on the side, his beautiful eyes were full of many questions.

From Chen Yi's words, it is not difficult to hear that some people want to be unfavorable to Bai Qi, as if they want to get something from him.

The most important thing is that these people don't intend to give up when they know that Chen Yi is there, Situ Ling is becoming more and more curious, what is on Bai Qi's body that can deserve so much attention from these people.

However, Chen Yi didn't plan to explain to her, and she was embarrassed to ask, so she went back to her room and got ready to rest.

In the past five days of travel, even Situ Ling felt a little tired, let alone in vain.

After returning to his room, Bai Qi lay down directly on the bed, and without even taking off his clothes and shoes, he fell asleep.

There was no word all night, and when Bai Qi woke up the next day, the sun had already risen high and hung in the sky.

After Bai Qi woke up, he stretched comfortably on the bed, and then turned his head to look outside the house, intending to see what time it was.

However, when he saw the sunlight shining through the window paper on the floor of the room, he jumped out of bed in fright, and pushed open the door with a crawl, and found that it was already three poles of the sun.

Because of the five days of rushing day and night, Bai Qi's body was already exhausted, so he slept until this time.

Bai Qi patted his forehead in annoyance.

He even wanted to give himself a few slaps, how could he sleep so deadly?

Just as he walked out of the room and closed the door, Situ Ling's voice suddenly sounded behind Bai got up.

"Senior Brother Liao, you're up, I'm about to call you, and the person called by the shopkeeper has also arrived, so I'm waiting for you. ”

Bai Qi coughed dryly, then turned to look at Situ Ling, and counted: "Cough, well, I'm sorry, after not cultivating, I can't accurately grasp the time to wake up." ”

Situ Ling shook his head and said it was okay.

In her opinion, after all, she felt a little tired after five days and nights of traveling, not to mention that she was just an ordinary person.

Immediately afterwards, Situ Ling's expression was stunned, recalling what Bai Qi had just said, she was a little skeptical, was she hallucinating just now?

Situ Ling asked with a sluggish expression, "What did you just say?"

Bai Qi glanced at Situ Ling puzzled, although he didn't understand what she wanted to do, he still repeated: "I said that I can't accurately grasp the time of waking up." ”

Situ Ling said: "It's not this sentence, the previous sentence!"

Bai Qi thought for a while, and replied tentatively: "After no cultivation?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Just now, Situ Ling thought that he was hallucinating, but now that he heard this sentence again, Situ Ling couldn't help but take a breath.

Doesn't this mean that he used to have cultivation?

How is this possible?

Situ Ling looked at Bai Qi suspiciously.

Let's not talk about anything else, but Bai Qi's thin body and delicate hands don't look like he has cultivated martial arts.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Bai Qi said dissatisfiedly: "I used to practice magic, but not long ago, my cultivation had been abolished by Long Hanyan. ”

Spells abolished by Long Hanyan?

Situ Ling took a deep breath to ease her excitement.

She now found out that she really underestimated Bai Qi, originally she thought that Bai Qi was just a gentleman, but now it seems that she thought too simply.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the gate of Shangguan's treasure house, and Shangguan Tian had already prepared his carriage and horses and was waiting outside the door.

In addition to Chen Yi and Shangguan Tian, there was also a middle-aged man with short hair in black clothes waiting outside the door, judging from what he was wearing, he should be a guy from Shangguan's treasure house.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to make you wait!" Bai Qi said embarrassedly.

Chen Yi patted Bai Qi's shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, the shopkeeper Shangguan said, it's just too late for the time to pass now." ”

Originally, Chen Yi's idea was to let him stay in Shangguan's treasure house without waiting for Bai Qi, so that the danger would not be so great; as for how to get the Yang Yan Miasma, Chen Yi planned to let Situ Ling help, and when the time came, he would take action to expel the miasma in Situ Ling's body.

But thinking of his nephew's temper, if he didn't go to Yang Yan Miasma in person, he would not give up if he brushed his favorability in front of Bai Yu, Chen Yi still gave up this idea.

Besides, if Situ Ling is really allowed to risk his life to take the Yang Yan Miasma, this is also a little unfair to Situ Ling.

After the politeness was over, everyone got on their own carriages and horses, because Bai Qi and the middle-aged man were ordinary people, so they sat in the carriage, and Chen Yi and Situ Ling rode their horses to Cassia Mountain.

On the way to Cassia Mountain, Bai Qi learned that the middle-aged man who was in charge of leading the way was called Li Ergou, a native of Dengxing City, who was forty-five years old this year and had been working as a partner in Shangguan Treasure House.

Because he was bored in a hurry, Bai Qi and Li Ergou talked about it, and when they talked about the homeinn, Li Ergou suddenly sighed.

"The world is not peaceful now! Presumably you don't know, sir, it's not just the Homeinn that has had an accident recently, I heard the shopkeeper mention it a few days ago, after three years of war, the entire Tianhe Prefecture has now changed its surname!"

"Change your surname to dark?" Bai Qi looked at Li Ergou puzzled.

"Oh, it's the entire country of Tianhe Prefecture that has been defeated under the iron cavalry of the Dark Kingdom, and it is not an exaggeration to call Tianhe State the Dark Country now!" Li Ergou patiently explained.

Hiss!

Bai Qi gasped, feeling extremely shocked in his heart, and it was difficult to digest the news for a while.

I don't believe that the Dark Country can unify Tianhe State, but it's a state! Not a country!

How can you do it with the strength of the Dark Kingdom alone?

"Are you talking about the other countries of Tianhe State that are subservient to the Dark Kingdom?" Bai Qi asked tentatively.

Who knew that Li Ergou shook his head decisively and said, "If that's really the case, it would be fine......."

After saying this, Li Ergou sighed helplessly, and did not continue, but seemed to be brewing feelings.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qi's heart was like a cat's paw.

He couldn't wait to open Li Ergou's mouth and pour out all the words in his stomach, this kind of person who talks half of the way is the most annoying.

In the end, after brewing emotions for a long time, Li Ergou still told Bai Qi in detail about what has happened in Tianhe Prefecture in recent years.

First of all, the first point is that the Dark Kingdom does not just make other countries subservient, but directly unifies the entire Tianhe State.

What shocked Bai Qi was that the unification of the Dark Kingdom was much bloodier than he imagined.

Everyone in the world knows that once the success is achieved, like the Dark Country, it will directly unify Tianhe State, and how many soldiers will be sacrificed?

And the reason why the Dark Kingdom was able to achieve this level was inseparable from the Dark Temple's Lord Uhir!

Of course, this is just everyone's speculation, and no one dares to say that the details of the unification of Tianhe Prefecture by the Dark Kingdom are clear.

Last year, there was a strong man on the list of gods, and when the Dark Kingdom had not yet completely unified the Dark Kingdom, he visited the Dark Temple, but in the end, he found nothing, and all the actions of the Dark Kingdom were personally ordered by the Emperor of the Dark Kingdom.

From the perspective of the national army alone, the decision-making of the dark country and the combat effectiveness of the army are quite eye-catching, which makes people talk about it for a long time.

But when I think about it deeply, I feel that it is a little unreasonable, how did a country get to this point?

Although outsiders don't know how to do it in the Dark Kingdom, they are clear about one thing, that is, in Tianhe State, there are mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and stumps and broken arms.

Similar to the burned city, there are even more cities swallowed by water, which makes people shudder when they hear it.

Even some of the Shangguan Treasure Treasury branches in Tianhe Prefecture could not escape their doom, but fortunately, the East and West Treasure Store was gone, and the people were still alive.

Otherwise, the Shangguan family would probably have withdrawn from all branches in Tianhe Prefecture.

After listening to what Li Ergou said, Bai Qi had already spoken in surprise and sat in the carriage in a daze.

Others may not know, but Bai Qi knows very well that before he left the Dark Kingdom, the hall master of the Dark Temple, Uhir, had already taken away the power of the Emperor of the Dark Kingdom.

Is Uhir crazy? Isn't she afraid of being besieged by the other gods by doing this?
