Sword Qi Captain Chapter 228 Arrived
If you want to go to the ruins, you naturally have to meet people before you go.
Still in that room, the black-robed man was telling the general situation of the ruins sword formation.
The Taoist priest and the woman already knew about the situation, and they didn't want to listen to it a second time, but they couldn't interject next to it, so they could only listen patiently.
Xu Baichuan sat on a large chair, put his hands down on either side casually, sat opposite the black-robed man, and listened carefully to the words that came to his ears.
Although it was agreed that it would take four days to leave, in fact it was only three and a half days, and as for the remaining half day, I came here to prepare.
The black-robed man's mouth is very solid, no matter how Bai Chuan knocks on the side, except for the sword formation, he doesn't talk about anything, about two cups of tea, the black-robed man stopped and said, drank a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and asked: "How, the situation has been told to you, can you be sure?"
Xu Baichuan did not pat his chest to make a guarantee, but pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I dare not say that I can completely break it, but I will try my best, if it is not broken, I will not take a penny." β
"As long as you can do your best, but I believe that you should be able to, the first young sword cultivator who came out of the Sword Sect will not be in vain. The black-robed man said with a smile.
Xu Baichuan was noncommittal, about the name of the first person of young sword cultivation, he has always been unconcerned as a person concerned, what if there is, what if there is not, it is just a false name, at most, it can attract a few praises in the ears of others, in addition to this, it is not very useful for improving strength, not to mention that the encounters over the years have also proved that having a well-known name is actually more troublesome, just look at the reward of the three sects, the greater the name, the greater the danger, you don't see that the Sword Sect is in a much more difficult situation after having the name of the only sword cultivation inheritance sect, if it weren't for Lin Shugui's use of the sword immortal name to attract most of the attention, the situation would definitely be worseγ
In general, you can have a name, but you must have the strength that matches the name, otherwise what you get is not praise but attack.
Murderers can become famous.
Retracting these chaotic thoughts, Xu Baichuan suddenly asked softly: "You said about them before, is there anyone else besides the three of you?"
The black-robed man nodded and said, "That's right, there are indeed other people, it would be more accurate to say that the ruins were discovered together at that time, and an alliance was formed after a brief discussion, so this time there are several others besides us." β
Xu Baichuan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Are they guarding the ruins?"
The black-robed man's eyes were a little weird, and he sighed a little at Xu Baichuan for being able to guess where the rest of them were so quickly, since he pointed it out, there was nothing to hide, anyway, even if he didn't talk about it now, he would meet sooner or later.
"There are a lot of relics and resources, and the relationship is very important, so you can't just leave the sight so easily, someone must stay there and wait, one to pay attention to whether there is a vision inside, and the other is to guard against demons and people who rush in. β
Although the black-robed man did not say what would happen to the demons and people who broke in, it must not have been very good, and he even said that he should be executed.
This is the norm in the cultivation world, it is not new, and there is nothing to say.
Xu Baichuan almost asked everything he wanted to ask, and the answer he got was okay, so he didn't continue to ask, it was late at night, and he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, so he planned to rest for a night, go to the rented room next to him to wash up, blow out the candle, and then close his clothes and go late.
Before dawn the next day, Xu Baichuan was woken up by the Taoist priest outside the door, rubbed his cheeks and washed briefly, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Still meet in the black-robed man's room.
When Xu Baichuan and the Taoist priest passed, the black-robed man was drinking porridge, and a large table of dishes was placed on the table, steaming.
When the black-robed man wanted to eat, he naturally took off the black hood on his head, so Xu Baichuan took down the black-robed man's appearance at a glance.
The black-robed man looks ordinary, he belongs to the kind of person who forgets at first sight, and when he turns his head when he is thrown into the vast sea of people, he can no longer find that kind of person, but in addition to his natural appearance, the black-robed man has a snake tattoo on his face, this snake hovers over the left half of his cheek, extremely hideous, and opens his bloody mouth to touch the left eye.
This added four points of fierceness and gloom to the appearance of the black-robed man.
Seeing Xu Baichuan staring at the black snake tattoo on his face, the black-robed man smiled and said, "This black snake tattoo is a secret technique I practice, which is a bit scary, so I usually cover it with a hat for fear of scaring others, but I don't scare you." β
Xu Baichuan shook his head and said no.
The black snake tattoo is certainly hideous and terrifying, but after all, it is a dead thing, even if it is turned into a living thing?
Xu Baichuan has not been killed.
When Xu Baichuan came to the Demon Domain, he came by boat, and when he encountered a boat full of snakes, he killed them with a sword, compared with those living snakes, the black snake tattoo only stayed on the surface.
Of course, being able to be so solemnly tattooed on the face by the black-robed man would be of great use in the future, but just by guessing on the plane, Xu Baichuan couldn't guess the general use.
It should be some kind of desperate means.
"Have you eaten it? If you haven't eaten, you might as well come along, the chef of this shop has good skills, although it is a demon but a good dish." β
The black-robed man invited loudly.
Xu Baichuan still shook his head, and directly postponed saying that he was not hungry now, and rejected the kindness of the black-robed man.
The black-robed man could understand what this remark meant, and he just didn't believe him, afraid that he would do tricks in these dishes.
The strength is good, very smart, and a character.
The black-robed man made a conclusion to Xu Baichuan in his heart.
After Xu Baichuan refused, he found a seat by himself, and then took out the dry food from the Jinxiu bag and left to bring his own tea to solve the problem.
After each of them finished breakfast and discussed for a while, they were led by the black-robed man and set off.
Leaving the gate of Ironstone City, the group did not walk fast, in fact, the ruins were very far away from Ironstone City, if you rely on a pair of meat legs, you have to go to the Year of the Monkey, the black-robed man has already made preparations for this.
They need a fleet of mobility mounts.
So a group of demon beasts appeared in front of them.
The monster is called the black-scaled horse, which is very similar to the horse, but there are also many differences, ordinary horses are full of horse hair, and the black-scaled horses are very hard scales and bone spurs all over the body.
If you want to ride safely, a saddle is essential.
After the group got on the mount, the black-robed man paid the demon pill, and then followed the direction and rode away.
In fact, there is actually a faster way, that is, the black-robed man shows his cultivation and uses magic weapons to fly, which can save a lot of time, but it is right to save time, but it has great drawbacks.
It's not easy to fly in the sky in the Demon Domain, it's not that you can use magic weapons to soar in the sky when you reach the realm, you must have enough strength.
The demon domain is mountainous and watery, and there have always been hidden demon cultivators in these mountains and rivers, if you are a demon cultivator, it is okay, and you will be allowed to pass by turning a blind eye on the face of the same demon cultivator, but you want to fly in the sky of the demon domain as a human being, it is not a simple and easy thing.
Unless you're strong enough to deal with all the troubles, it's better to be honest and overland for safety.
Although Xu Baichuan, the strength of the black-robed man, did not see it very thoroughly, he was sure that he would not surpass Tianmen, and even whether he reached Fuyun or not is two words, and there are many demon cultivators in the Demon Domain, although Tianmen has been killed, there are still many left, hidden between the mountains and rivers.
The black-robed man is actually very inadequate, otherwise he wouldn't have planned the ruins.
The group spent half a month on the road, and then finally approached the ruins at sunset.
The ruins are hidden in a large mountain forest, and there is no trace of it from the outside, no wonder there can be the word "seclusion", and the group got off the horse, and no longer cared about these hard-working horses, and threw the horses away.
I don't know what will happen to the horse in the future, but they want to go into this mountain to have a look.
The black-robed man took out a compass from his body, recited a few words of mantra and touched it on the compass, and with this action, the compass began to rotate, and when it turned three times and waited until the fourth turn, it had stabilized, and the pointer pointed to the south.
Everyone is a cultivator, and they are not afraid of the night, even if the sun has set at this time, they still walk on the ground in the dark night.
After all, monks are fundamentally different from mortals.
Everyone's feet are not slow, and under the blessing of the breath in the body, they can step by step, as long as they can cross a large distance in the blink of an eye, so they have already reached their destination when the sky is slightly bright.
It's a valley surrounded by thick fog, and the entrance is hidden by a large expanse of jungle and fog, which is not so easy to find without a pointer to guide it.
Just as Xu Baichuan and the others were approaching, a strange voice that seemed to be a roar came out of the mist.
It's like a warning and a threat.
After hearing this, the black-robed man also responded, but instead of roaring, he shouted directly.
The two sides confirmed, and the communication was quickly passed, and the black-robed man put away the compass, said a word to the people behind him to follow, and plunged into the dense fog first.
The Taoist priest followed, the woman followed, and Xu Baichuan walked last.
Through a trail and through a forest, the fog gradually cleared and the scene became clear.
This is a huge flat land, and many houses are arranged vertically and horizontally on the flat land, like a chessboard, very neat.
But the house is there, but the owner of the house is gone, if it wasn't for the black-robed man who found it and broke in, I'm afraid that no one would have been there for thousands of years.
The black-robed man was chatting with a hook-nosed man on the stone not far in front, and his words were not inaudible, but looking at the way he kept stretching out his hand to point at Xu Baichuan, it was obvious that he was introducing.
The hook-nosed man nodded as he listened, and after listening, he wanted to walk towards Xu Baichuan.
"You are the person introduced by the black robe, I believe him, don't say much else, he said that you have the strength to break the formation, I believe he also believes in you, I hope you don't let me down, otherwise, it's easy to get in here, and if you want to go out, it depends on whether you have this blessing." β
Xu Baichuan just said that he knew.
Seeing this, the hook-nosed man snorted coldly, and no longer bothered with Xu Baichuan, nodded to the Taoist priest and the woman, and then turned around and walked towards a room.
The black-robed man explained with a smile: "Don't take it to heart, he is such a person, he is like this to you, and he is similar to us, you just need to do your duty well, and I will handle the rest." β
Xu Baichuan frowned and asked, "When are you going to break the formation?"
"Tomorrow. The black-robed man paused and said: "The outside has been cleaned up, but the inside has not been in, I don't know what danger is waiting, we have been on the road for half a month, we need to rest and prepare, these houses are clean, if you are tired and tired, you can pick a room to go in and rest, if you are hungry, we also have food here, just say it." β
Xu Baichuan nodded, didn't say much, picked a nearby house and opened the door and walked in.
