Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ancient Road is Difficult

The breeze blows, and the spring fragrance blows in the city. The crowds of people in the street, as always, came and went, and it was very lively.

This worldly scenery is such a freeze frame, every day, every day, there is a flow of people passing through. Walking among them, Jiang Fan strode with his head held high and walked towards the outside of Chang'an City.

Not far from Chang'an City, there is a deep forest area on the outskirts of the countryside, where many wild beasts live. Those beasts have been wreaking havoc there all year round, endangering the lives of many mortals in the past, and they have been driven away by royal decree several times, but after no effect each time, they will eventually disappear.

Facing the rising sun, Jiang Fan walked forward against the wind, and soon he had left Chang'an and walked into this deep forest. In the deep forest, the yellow flowers and wild grasses are dense, and the young leaves of the new ancient trees also shade the sky, revealing shade everywhere.

Looking at the big tree, there are small beasts passing through from time to time, which is very conspicuous, but Jiang Fan's goal this time is not those, so he didn't stop much and continued to walk forward.

In the sky, the clouds move with the wind, and the sky is blue and deep. Under the sun, the young man walks in brocade clothes during the day, and his footwork is very steady. In this forest, birds and beasts gather, travel south and return, inhabit it, and fly inside.

The ancient yellow wood, supporting its thick tree poles, is like an optimus, towering giant, amazing. There is a road in this forest, and although the road is clearly visible, it is littered with rocks and no one clears it. This is not the official road of Chang'an, but also because of the evil beasts in the forest, very few people dare to pass through this road, which makes it often no one walk here, and the traces of the road gradually tend to disappear.

Walking in it, Jiang Fan also sensed that the evil beasts around him were entrenched, but these beasts were just jackals and wild dogs, this kind of beast was generally not worth much, and it could not be exchanged for many copper coins.

This time, Jiang Fan set out, he wanted to return with a full load, and if he could find some herbal replacements, he didn't want to find those beasts unhappy, after all, those fierce beasts are not more gentle than animals, they eat people when they see them, and they will never show mercy to their subordinates, and those evil beasts have a violent personality, once they anger them, they will be chased to the ends of the earth, and they will never die.

is so difficult, even if he has the mid-stage cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Realm now, he must not be too lax.

What's more, he is now injured, and it is difficult for his left arm to exert all his strength, so this state is even more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, although Jiang Fan also noticed that a white tiger with hanging eyes was not far from his side, he did not go to provoke it, the tiger was powerful, infinitely powerful, and more powerful than ordinary cultivators, so Jiang Fan's target was not on it.

It's just that he didn't want to provoke, but the white tiger had already sniffed the smell and came over and blocked him in front of him. Unexpectedly, the white tiger walked slowly not far in front of Jiang Fan, but it was not like those ordinary beasts that bite people when they see them, and they pounce impulsively and irritably.

Jiang Fan had to stop and look at it, frowning.

"I don't make enemies with you, and you don't stand in my way!"

The young man's breath gushed out wildly, and the cyan qi wrapped around it, just to deter the white tiger and make it not act rashly.

Immediately, the tiger roared in the mountains and forests, and the surrounding birds and beasts fled one after another, Jiang Fan's eardrums were slightly painful, and he was temporarily tinnitus by the sound.

Looking at the white tiger, he stared at him for a moment with a pair of beast eyes, then turned around alone and left into the distance, obviously this kind of beast, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been absorbed for a long time, has already had a weak spiritual intelligence, and can also sense that the person in front of him is not something it can devour, so he turned around and left.

After the white tiger left, Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, if the white tiger was not afraid of his anger, it was bound to fight with him, although Jiang Fan was not afraid, but it was also troublesome, and this is a wild place outside the mountains, who knows how many vicious beasts survive, if it is a fierce battle with the white tiger, it will also attract more terrifying things.

I don't know how long I walked, I suddenly heard the sound of water lapping in my ears, Jiang Fan searched for it, but saw that it was a waterfall where mountain streams converged, pouring down quickly from the cracks in the rocks in the mountains.

The water becomes a pool, and the waterfall finally converges into a deep pool, looking at the pool of water is secluded, I don't know the depth, but the water is clear and clear, very clean.

Jiang Fan thought that it was very uncomfortable to sweat all over his body last night due to the anger, so he wanted to wash himself in this pool of water. However, before entering the water, he will also carefully investigate the underwater scenery.

Generally, in this kind of wild deep pool, there are not only fish and shrimp that survive.

I saw him reach out and poke out a trace of qi into the water, and in a short time he had already probed most of the things clearly.

Except for some aquatic grass carp, shrimp, clam crabs, and crabs, there was nothing else that could threaten him. Immediately, Jiang Fan took off his clothes and went into the water, and began to clean the sweat stains and smells on his body.

The pool is secluded, the waterfall is urgent, the boy enters it, floats in it, and after a while, he has finished cleaning and goes ashore to dress.

Everything seemed to be harmonious, but just as he was about to turn away, a bright light under the waterfall attracted his eyes.

The crystal light, flickering and dimming, looming, flickering, swallowed many waterfalls.

Jiang Fan looked at it, and saw a snow-white lotus, under the waterfall, washed by the torrent, it still looked vigorous, and the petals on it were shiny, and the jade color appeared, which was really extraordinary.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan didn't know where it was a treasure, no one walked here all year round, and he didn't know how many years the lotus flower had grown there, so he could imagine how much it was cherished.

It's just that Jiang Fan didn't like to read the "Chronicles of All Things" when he was young, otherwise, he would definitely be able to recognize what this lotus was.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know it, just know that it's a treasure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan came out of his breath, stepped on the waves, and leaped towards the waterfall, looking at the lotus flower, when he was about to pick it, a sudden smell of blood suddenly hit from underwater.

Jiang Fan was shocked, and under the crisis, he hurriedly slapped the water several times in a row, and then retreated with his strength, and finally returned to the shore.

It's just that although the others have arrived on the shore, the bloody breath is unrelenting, and suddenly, a huge force breaks through the air and swept towards him. Hearing the sound of breaking the air, Jiang Fan's heart was not in a hurry, only to see him tap his toes on the ground, and then he moved into the air, as if there was wind under his feet, and retreated again, dodging this blow.

After landing, Jiang Fan retreated a few meters in a row, and only then did he really distance himself from the attacker.

The young man looked up and looked at it, but saw a giant python tens of meters long, spitting red letters, entrenched on a sharp rock protruding several meters above the water surface, and was holding the pair of triangular eyes, staring at him in the direction, looking extremely terrifying.

Seeing this scene, the young man couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

This giant python may have grown for thousands of years, and it guards the lotus flower so much, obviously absorbing the aura it emits for many years, so it treats it as its own bag, and cannot be coveted by other living beings.
