Chapter 162: The Road Ahead
Ye Mo woke up wet, his eyes were a little confused, he turned his stiff head, and confirmed that it was dusk outside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Cai's dream was clear and real, he fell into a huge bottomless deep pool, where there were no fish and shrimp, only cold and biting water, and finally, he struggled to swim to a place that seemed to be on the edge, on the rough wall of the pool, he grabbed a bundle of messy brown aquatic plants, and just as he wanted to climb to the shore with the help of aquatic plants, in the unkempt aquatic plants, suddenly burst out of a large black snake with a thick bowl, and before he could dodge, he had already woken up.
Call!
Fortunately, it was just a dream, and he subconsciously wanted to rub his head, which was still a little painful, but suddenly found that his hair seemed to be much shorter.
What's the situation?
There was no bronze mirror at home, and this useless thing for a man had been sold by him long before his friend financed him, so he fetched a basin of water, went to a dark place, and looked at the water, only to find that his long hair, which had been tied together, had been cut off from the roots.
Who is deliberately humiliating me, am I not miserable enough?
A wave of anger rose in his heart, but he suddenly felt something strange in his body.
Why am I so hungry, how long have I been asleep? And it seems that there is something different in my body, and this feeling is ...... He didn't come from a poor family, he had received a lot of cultivation education in his childhood, and this feeling of surging spiritual power was not exactly the characteristic of awakening?
What's going on?
After the surprise, he tried to remember what had happened before, only to remember that he had been to see Wanqing, and when he returned home after being rejected, he looked around in a daze, and found nothing but a few messy footprints in the corner.
Did I meet the Immortals who helped?
He immediately gave up this idea, where did the immortal come from in this world, maybe a certain monk saw himself pitiful and secretly helped him, but it was very likely, he poured a sip of cold water, and his mind became clearer and clearer.
Are you telling me to start all over again?
He rubbed the broken hair on his head, and immediately thought about the way forward, as a monk who had just awakened, it was naturally the most suitable to go to the sect, however, Yanqiling was no longer there.
Chixia Gate?
Chixiamen has a grudge against himself to kill his father, how can he defect?
No, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, I just want to use the resources of your Chixiamen to cultivate, become the strongest, and finally send you a happy one! He remembered the second uncle who had already defected to Chixiamen, maybe this is a quick way, although he will definitely be humiliated by those relatives and brothers, but compared to avenging his father, this grievance is nothing!
He also remembered a brother named Wei Shu, who was a cold and careless fellow, because he had not been able to awaken the Faxiang and didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, so he unilaterally cut off contact with him. Wei Shu had been roaming the circle of monks in Huangshui City, and he might have a better idea for this matter, and he could also provide more help after he found a way to bend down and return to the family.
Ye Mo's gaze became tenacious, looking around at the empty gray and white walls around him, he quickly made a decision, closed the door lightly, took some gold and silver artifacts from his friends, and ran in the direction of Huangshui City.
............
Lu Hook carefully burrowed into a dense forest, which was already the northern part of the Chixia Gate, close to the boundary of the Luoying Gate. He was followed by seven or eight scattered cultivators who had gathered together, all of whom had been separated from the canyon before.
"Finally escaped. ”
Lu Hook confirmed that there was no danger in the dense forest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword light of the monk's battle array like a heavy rain continued to appear in front of him, "How is it, brothers, is anyone injured?"
"Nope. The voice of the reply was very small, and the morale of the team was very low.
Lu Hook wanted to say something beautiful to boost morale, but after looking at the appearance of everyone's disgraced faces, he still gave up this plan, "This ruins can't be gone, let's talk about it, what are your plans?"
"I saw someone enter the ruins, it's the two guys who fought with us before, what's the name?" The one who spoke was the only female cultivator left in the team, the pen is pure, nicknamed Sanlang, just close to the thick leg of the arm, which has made the ordinary male cultivators retreat, but fortunately, most of the people who are familiar with her in the team are happy with her pride and cheerfulness, and they all treat her as a brother.
"Jiang Caishu and Xiao Bai. Someone answered.
"How is it possible, they have tokens?" questioned another.
"I also saw it with my own eyes, just to see this excitement from a distance, I was targeted by a group of loose cultivators who also ran for their lives, and almost snatched the precious jade ruler I just got. ”
"It's a rare thing, I looked away from it before. Lu Hookzi didn't believe it at first, but it was Huo Xiaoman who spoke just now, nicknamed Ah Wei, although his ideas were often very strange, but he never lied, and he had been following him for several years.
"How rare is it?"
"Lu Shu, shut up!" Lu Hook waved his hand to stop the discussion, "Brothers, I have a new plan, let's go to the Ancient Sword Gate to have a look, I heard that after the defeat of the Seven Alliances, there was a lot of chaos there!"
............
Asagama Sect, Luo Chuan, the back hall of the Rolling Shutter Division.
"You'll have to help me find a magic weapon to use first, or I won't be able to play. Wu Tiande leaned back on the wooden chair a little lazily, "Otherwise, how can I convince the enemy not to do it, right?"
"Wu Laizi, you took the opportunity to blackmail again, this is a business matter. Zheng Yiyu said seriously, at this time, Wang Yanzhi, who was a little silent, was still sitting next to him, and Wei Chengyu, who was still contemplating.
"You see, I didn't say no, I will use it for a few more days at most. ”
was called Laizi, Wu Tiande didn't mean to be angry at all, he had long been accustomed to it, "Nerd, tell me." He kicked Wang Yanzhi and added two footprints to the hem of his green robe.
"Do you need to wait for the head of the sect to come back before making a decision?" Wang Yanzhi said a little worriedly, "Is it a violation of the laws of the sect to act privately like this?" ”
"Hey, you're still talking about this, and your uncle has learned to stay stunned. Before Zheng Yiyu could persuade him, Wu Tiande quickly took over the conversation, "Didn't you listen to what Archdeacon Zheng said, these people are lurking in the door, and they will soon get into trouble, and the head of the door doesn't know when he will come back, and once something happens, we will be passive." ”
"That's right, originally I thought they were just spying on intelligence, but I found that they seem to be secretly mobilizing forces to create a big bloody case somewhere in the three counties, which may target some of our previous participants in the martial arts. ”
"Are we in the queue too?" said Wei Chengyu, who won the championship in martial arts, his voice calm and solemn, just like his clan uncle Wei Ruoguang.
"No, Luo Chuan has no signs of making a move, according to my analysis, Donghu County is the most likely, so several monks of the Zhou family, Chen Xin, Wei Zhe, and Jiang Yunqi, the apprentice of the head of the sect, as well as the nine-person team that is about to leave for Donghu County to train, may be in danger. ”
"Is it okay for the nine-person team to leave later, Master only needs two days to turn back. A hint of seriousness flashed in Wei Chengyu's eyes, "With the master in charge, it is estimated that they will not be able to make any waves, unless they send a prefecture-level monk." ”
"No, if the nine-person squad is withdrawn now, they may be alerted immediately, launch in advance and escape, if that happens, Zhou Zhenshou and a few colleagues in Donghu County will probably fall into even greater danger. Moreover, I want to take this opportunity to eradicate them all so that we can prevent future troubles. ”
"Archdeacon Zheng is right, the opportunity must not be missed, otherwise it is just to catch some small thieves, which is not interesting. Wu Tiande straightened his body slightly, and his expression became solemn, "Boss Wei, I suspect that the master was called away by some distant relative of yours and went to Lizong, maybe it was also their trick, maybe there was no such thing." ”
"If things really come together by accident, it's possible. ”
Wei Chengyu pondered for a moment, "Then there is no need to wait, the four of us will go to Donghu County overnight, and Yiyu will go to inform Elder Wang and Deacon Huangfu that we will set off secretly, Zhou Zhenshou should not know about this yet, right?"
"I don't know. Zheng Yiyu said with certainty, "They may be in Donghu County, and they have just gotten the information, in order to avoid being detected, they often change the code, and our manpower is not convenient for in-depth investigation, in fact, it is said that it is intelligence," he looked at the three of them, "It is better to say that it is my personal inference." ”
Wang Yanzhi was a little stunned, and was a little hesitant for a while, if he made a mistake in judgment, which direction would things go? He was suddenly a little confused, but fortunately, he knew that Elder Wu of Foreign Affairs and Elder Zheng of General Affairs would stay in Luochuan, otherwise Luo Chuan would be in danger if he fell for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zheng Yiyu, who also looked nervous.
"Nerd, don't be stunned," Wu Tiande pushed him, "Go back and bring me your baby belt, aren't you just worried about Luo Chuan, don't worry, Luo Chuan In addition to our old man, Old Man Zheng, and Ding Jiu Bag, although the three of them have rough skills, they are also people who have seen pigs run." ”
"Let's go, we believe in you. Although the four of them have different identities and statuses, they gather in one place, and they still respect Wei Chengyu, who is the first in martial arts, and when he spoke, several people stopped caring about it, and hurriedly went their separate ways, preparing to go on a night walk at night.
The Rolling Shutter Division, which was already very deserted, has become extremely lonely again.
Wang Yi's figure appeared from an empty house, and when he lent Zheng Yiyu this room, he guessed that the other party had something to hide from him, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
The nine-person training group is a decision made by the head before going to the canyon, as a monk, he can't just care about his own affairs, he has to train for ten days in each of the three counties every year to assist the town guard to solve various affairs, this first wave, will set off tomorrow morning, and now it seems that there is a big risk waiting for them.
No, the short-haired girl Zhao Liangdi seems to be in it.
It's dangerous.
I have to go to help too, and half an hour later, the Department of Etiquette happens to have a few carriages going to Donghu County, so it is better for me to sneak to Donghu County first, and then choose the opportunity to help. However, my skills are a bit ordinary, and the magic weapon is not enough, by the way, Jianghai has a copper Qiankun mirror, I'll get it.
Wang Yi quickly made a decision.
............
Qiu Zhenzhen had just prepared dinner for Qiu Sitian, she originally thought that as the honorable lady of the head of the family, everything was served, at least it should be better than in Heishuimen, but she didn't expect that in the entire sect, only the living room of the head of the sect was taken care of, and there was no personnel to serve the head lady at all.
This one is a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Jiang Hai, the steward who had no actual position, temporarily hired two ordinary maids who were quite quick with their hands and feet, and took turns to help her, otherwise, she really felt that she was the lady in charge, and she was useless.
This was also the case, she secretly thought to herself that she had to think about how to deal with Jiang Feng when he came back earlier. It is said that this sect, although it is a little poor, but if you are really the lady of the head, the future road is still very promising. She passed by the doorman of the Roller Shutter Division next door as usual, and found that Wang Yi, the little guy who secretly watched her on weekdays, was not there today.
It's rare.
She knocked on the door, did not get any response, pushed the door and found that the wooden door was locked, which was difficult for her, especially when she suddenly came to the interest, left and right to see that no one would pass by, she pulled out a copper hairpin from the top of the bun, the spiritual power moved slightly, the copper hairpin quickly drilled into the ordinary lock, after a twist, it was easy to enter the house.
Well?
The law-breaking sword was taken away, and the low-level wooden plate, which was useless and worthless, was also gone, and it seemed that it was not carried when the unapproved official documents were unfolded on the desk.
Is there something going out, and he took all the magic weapons with him? This hairy boy doesn't look like he's good at fighting, could it be that something big is going to happen, and even his level has to play?
Qiu Zhenzhen's face was full of doubts, and he quietly withdrew from the house, restored the iron lock, and pretended that nothing had happened. Carefully explained a few words to the maid who only came to help at night, and secretly went out of the rolling shutter hall where he was temporarily arranged, and went down the remote alley to the vicinity of the Zhangmen's inner mansion, and found that in front of the Ministry of Rites, the hairy boy Wang Yi had just boarded the carriage, and the carriages immediately set off and went straight to the south.
"Have a nice trip!"
"Come back early!"
She quickly blended in with the pile of old and young women and children who said goodbye, and then began to inquire about the whereabouts of the carriage in disguise by taking advantage of the identity of the lady in charge.
............
Canyon ruins, snowy areas.
The figures of the two monks were getting closer and closer, and when he caught a glimpse of the black flowers and red robes on their bodies, Jiang Feng knew that the person who came must be someone from Tianli Sect.
It's the group of crazy people who don't like the demon clan!
The two Xuan ranks, although they didn't tie their hands, Jiang Feng didn't want to have meaningless entanglements with them, and his body flew quickly, and after a while, he arrived near the gushing hill.
The cold is overwhelming, but it is still within the range of the body.
The entrance of the cave is wide and deep, although it is constantly gushing cold water mixed with ice cubes, but the speed is not fast, and it is relatively dense in only one direction, Jiang Feng felt it carefully, and did not feel any monk's breath in the cave, so he released a shadow and let it go first, and he jumped into the cave carefully, and the silver spirit dagger was against the stone wall, slowly climbing downward.
Different from the anthill in the canyon, there are not many forks in this cave, it is close to a dozen zhang deep, and only two forks are encountered, because of the guidance of the ice and snow girl's breath, Jiang Feng did not choose those forks that constantly gushed out cold ice, but went all the way down, until it was nearly thirty or forty zhang deep, and there were dry forks in two opposite directions.
The intensity of the aura of the Ice Desolate Snow Girl is the same, it all comes from under his feet, Jiang Feng stepped on it, and under his feet was a hard rock formation mixed with ice crystals, which seemed to be impossible to break easily, so he could only choose a road and continue to go deeper by detour.
There seemed to be a monk's breath in the sky, he thought about it, took out Lan Yan's great sword and stirred it around him, creating some obstacles, and then burrowed into a fork in the road. There was darkness everywhere, but with the help of the shadows, he believed that he could be more efficient than the other two and find the things related to the Ice Desolation Snow Girl as soon as possible.
"Senior Brother Zhou, there seems to be someone ahead. ”
In the vertically dark cavern, a woman with her hair coiled in one place said to the man climbing below, holding in her hand a jewel that emitted a dim yellow light, which could illuminate the distance of about two feet around her body.
"It's okay, it's just a demon clan's scraps. As he spoke, he accidentally stumbled and fell two feet in a row, until he was supported by the short sword in his hand and stopped.
"This cave is really weird. The woman above rushed over.
"There's no way, Senior Sister Huang, let's still worry about whether we can complete the task given by the master. The man known as Senior Brother Zhou sighed, "It's good to be the head of the house, you don't have to risk coming to this kind of ghost place yourself." ”
He kicked a stone shining with ice crystals under his feet to make sure that it was not an ice block that had accidentally adhered to the stone wall, and then he stepped on it with confidence, and he didn't want to go through it a second time.
"There's no way, our Tianli Sect doesn't lack this cultivation resource at all, who let us not be treated by the master. The woman said, "However, it is also good to have the opportunity to kill a few demon clans." ”
"Makes sense. The man was a little excited at the mention of this, and his feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.
............
Canyon remains, the border of the steppe area.
Outside the four sides are still barren grass, occasionally a few dead trees, the branches stand crookedly on the field, and the shrubs are occasionally visible, but everywhere there is a smell of desolation.
"Why do you have to bypass the Dao Palace of the old thief of Yuan Chu, is the time so tight?" Feng Jiming casually brushed aside the wild grass and marched towards the set goal, muttering to himself.
"Okay, it's coming soon, you see the eye in the sky, there are not a few people dead, in the case of lack of anger, the old thief can't further refine this ancient treasure, he didn't achieve his goal, is he willing to go?"
"At least we have to collect the anger released by the death of three prefecture-level monks, but how can it be so easy to kill so many people, it is better to count on the death of thirty Xuan-level, the effect is the same, but since the old thief did not ask us to do it, let's take it easy, and we can't take risks for this." ”
"Unless the old thief has no hope, he will use the trick of breaking the net and causing this ruin to collapse, and he is reluctant to give up this ancient treasure. He went to great lengths to fake his death, so as to get rid of a few of us completely, isn't it just to fit the Heavenly Dao contained in this ancient treasure and go further?"
"What do you want to do so much, the road ahead, I will naturally be a strong man in the future, I don't like the ice field very much, I like the territory of the Asa Mountain Sect, but unfortunately there is no spiritual land, but there are a lot of them in the Li Sect next door. ”
"Alright, don't be verbose, we're here. ”
Feng Jiming stopped, this is the boundary between the wasteland and the ice field, a small river with ice cubes floating is slowly flowing from the depths of the ice field, and it is flowing into a small ice lake here.
Without even thinking about it, he jumped into the icy lake, and a cloud of red light immediately burst out of his body, protecting him in the middle and slowly sinking downward.
