Chapter 25 The Secrets of the Heavens and the Prince's Mansion
Three days have passed, and I don't give up sitting in the car and practicing quietly.
"It's been three days, and according to the original estimate, there are still four days to go before we can reach the White Tiger City, where the prince's mansion is located. "Do not give up meditating in your heart. There are four major cities in Vietnam, an imperial city, and the four major cities are named after Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger, and the goods of the prince of White Tiger City are not abandoned.
"I don't know where I've gone now. "I didn't think about using that wisp of spiritual sense, so I looked outside.
The convoy was moving along the road carved out in the field, and the surrounding was extremely quiet, except for the sound of the carriage advancing and the whispers of more than twenty men on both sides of the convoy.
Take back your spiritual consciousness and continue to meditate without giving up.
"Isn't it too smooth for three days? He muttered in his heart.
"I think we have been walking for three days and there is no character like a bandit, could it be that there are no bandits on the path we chose?"
"Phew. ”
"Two immortals, let's rest here, and we'll rest outside the first line of heaven in the evening. Steward Xu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly came to the back and said.
"Oh? Wang Youling asked.
"Qi Yu Shangxian, we probably need to walk for three hours to get to the first line of heaven, but it still takes half an hour to pass through the first line of heaven, and I am afraid that there will be accidents at night, so I suggest that we rest now, and wait for us to rest outside the first line of heaven at night, and then pass the next day. Steward Xu explained respectfully.
"Well, don't abandon fellow Daoists, you see.." Wang Youling didn't get out of the carriage and asked directly.
"Hehe, Wang Daoyou doesn't need to ask for his opinion, I'm just here to help, everything is presided over by Wang Daoyou and Sun Daoyou. Don't give up in the carriage and laugh in response.
Wang Youling in the carriage was surprised when he heard this, and glanced back in the direction where he did not give up, but fortunately, Wang Youling had a lot of experience, and he did not shirk it, and immediately arranged: "Okay, according to what Steward Xu said, we will rest now, and rest in the evening." ”
After hearing this, Steward Xu immediately arranged for the surrounding Han guards to be on guard and rest.
I stopped meditating and practicing in the car, and took out some dry food from the burden next to me to satisfy my stomach.
"If you don't give up on Daoyou, can you be busy now?" Wang Youling's voice sounded outside: "If you have nothing to do, can you come out for a while, the three of us will discuss some things." ”
"Okay, fellow Daoist, wait a minute. As soon as he heard this, he put down the dry food that had not yet reached his mouth, and at the same time secretly slandered in his heart: he couldn't even eat well.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still looked at Wang Youling and Sun Kang with a smile on his face as soon as he got out of the carriage.
"Disturb the Taoist friends to rest. As soon as he got out of the carriage without giving up, Wang Youling took the lead in clenching his fists to apologize.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's more important to escort this time. He waved his hand and said.
"Hehe, thank you for your understanding. Wang Youling clenched his fists again. "Actually, there are really very important things to discuss when you invite Daoyou down. Wang Youling's words changed and he said his purpose.
"It's coming. "Don't give up on the heart of a pang, pay attention to listen to Wang Youling's next words.
"Daoist friends can know the name of the first line of heaven. Wang Youling didn't go straight to the point, but first said such words that made Bu Qi confused.
"I also ask Daoyou to make it clear that I have been practicing in the deep mountains and old forests in the distance since I was a child, and I am still not familiar with most of the boundaries of Yue Kingdom. No, he shook his head.
"Hehe, it turns out that Daoyou is still an ascetic. Wang Youling chuckled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the glimmer of heaven is a problem." ”
"Oh?" "Oh?" ”
"Hehe, it's normal for Daoyou not to know, and I also listened to what Steward Xu said. Wang Youling paused and continued, "A line of sky, in fact, is a dangerous place, if you pay attention to a little during the day, there is no big problem, but at night it is extremely dark, the moonlight does not shine anywhere at all, just relying on torches is not very useful, so it is a little difficult to pass at night." ”
He listened to it and muttered, and said, "Didn't we decide where to rest at night and wait for the next day's dawn to go?"
"Hey, Wang Daoyou is how to ink when he speaks, mother-in-law. Sun Kang on the side couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Wang Daoyou didn't mean this, I was also listening to it when Steward Xu said just now, the first line of heaven is not a big problem, the main thing is the robber." ”
"Robber?" didn't give up, his eyes couldn't help jumping.
"Yes, it's the robber. Sun Kang continued. "I heard Steward Xu say that the place where the robbers often appear is this line of heaven, so Wang Daoyou guesses that the robber may ambush us in the first line of heaven. ”
"Actually, it's not that I'm worried that he will ambush us on the first line, but mainly because I'm worried that he will suddenly attack when we are resting outside, after all, we don't enter the first line, and our monks' eyes can still see some things clearly at night, so I think if the robbers on this road really exist, then we need to pay more attention to the Taoists, don't be attacked by the thieves." Wang Youling said earnestly.
Bu Qi touched his chin and kept silent, and Wang Youling Sun Kang on the side glanced at each other and stopped talking.
"Since this route is a place frequented by robbers, why didn't we choose another path before?
"This..."Wang Youling and Sun Kang glanced at each other, a little hesitant.
"What? It's hard to say?" he asked.
"It's not hard to say, but I hope that the reason for this will not be passed on. Wang Youling seemed to struggle for a while before he slowly spoke: "Do you know what is in the goods we escorted this time?" Wang Youling asked.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but I heard Steward Xu say that there is an elixir in it that the prince urgently needs. "Don't give up and reply," could it be related to the elixir?"
"Hehe, Daoyou is really smart, that's right, this escort is related to the elixir, and it is related to the fate of the prince's line!"
But all that responded to him was a faint expression, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"It started fifteen years ago. Wang Youling continued: "Fifteen years ago, the prince had his first heir: the Lord of the Bai Ling Group, this was supposed to be a happy thing for everyone, but an accident happened, just when the Lord of Bai Ling County was at the full moon banquet, an assassin hidden in the VIP suddenly attacked!" Wang Youling couldn't help but tremble when he said this, "At that time, we had a total of six people present, and when we saw this, we wanted to stop him, but none of them could stop him, and he injured three people, not to mention those ordinary guards. The assassin swaggered up to the Lord of Bailing without our hindrance, and placed a black shadow the size of a bean on her with his own hands. Then he turned away and was never seen again.
Since then, our prince has been looking for famous doctors, trying to find out what the problem is, but there is no way, and the body of the county lord of Bailing has been weakened since the age of five, and he can only continue to rely on the elixir of the cultivation realm to support it. In the past few years, it was good to say that we could barely find some elixirs, but in recent years, it has been different, as if some force is hindering us, whenever we hear that there is an elixir that we can buy, it is often either bought in advance, or it is intercepted and killed halfway through the purchase. And this elixir this time is different from the past, according to the information we have got, this elixir can replenish a considerable amount of people's essence, which is enough to support the Bailing County Lord for a long time. After Wang Youling said this, he paused again, and continued: "As for why we took this path, it was actually that the time interval between the last time the Lord of Bailing took the elixir was too long, and this route was very close to our return to White Tiger City, and we were worried that it would change later, so we had to choose this path." ”
If you don't give up, you won't be shocked, and one thing can be summed up from Wang Youling's previous words: the imperial family is much more sinister. If you don't give up, you just think about it, don't say more and ask more, nod your head to indicate that you know and don't say more.
Seeing this, Wang Youling and Sun Kang glanced at each other and then got up to say goodbye, and then the two exchanged words in a low voice on the side for a while before returning to their own carriages.
He did not abandon the road, ate some dry food in the carriage and continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and it was not long before the convoy continued to hurry.
Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and I felt the speed of the convoy slow down.
"Have you arrived?" whispered, then released his mind to look outside, to the darkness of the sky and the dark mountains in the distance.
"Don't abandon fellow Daoists, we have arrived. Wang Youling's voice came from outside the carriage.
Without giving up hearing this, he got out of the carriage, and outside the carriage, Wang Youling, Sun Kang, and Steward Xu were whispering there.
Seeing that he didn't give up and got down from the carriage, Wang Youling clenched his fists and said, "Don't give up on fellow Daoists, let's rest here tonight." ”
"Well, it's up to you to make the decisions. ”
"Hey. Wang Youling waved his hand and sent Steward Xu away and said, "How can you say that you are also the highest cultivation among the three of us, even if we are the main ones, but you have to ask the opinion of the next Taoist friend." ”
He smiled and didn't speak, turning his head to look at the mountains in the distance.
The mountains in the distance are stacked on top of each other, extremely tall, shrouded in night, like a peerless beast draped in black leather armor, and the canyon cracked in the middle is like a huge beast's mouth, extremely dark, like a bottomless pit.
"Is this a glimmer of heaven?" asked the right spirit of the unabandoned dynasty.
"Yes, this is the first line of heaven, if the thief is ambushed in the first line of heaven, we will be stationed outside to rest will disrupt his plan, maybe he will attack tonight, and then ask the Taoist friends to take care of it. Wang Youling glanced at the mountain range and said.
"Hehe, why should you be modest, the strength of the two of you plus the help of spiritual weapons, the strength may not be worse than mine. "Don't give up, hehe smiled and said. Wang Youling didn't answer, so did Sun Kang, today's Sun Kang and the results of the competition are clear, so Wang Youling and Sun Kang just think that they are not willing to give up and be humble.
The three of them talked about something to look out for, and then went over to the campfire that the guards had lit to rest and eat. "If you don't abandon Daoyou, go and rest first, we will call you if there is something tonight." After resting, Wang Youling said to not give up.
"Are you all right?" asked Bu Qu.
"Haha, don't worry, fellow Daoist, even if that thief attacks us, we won't collapse so quickly. Sun Kang said on the side, looking as if he had forgotten today's events.
Bu Qi smiled and didn't speak, got up and hugged his fists to say goodbye, leaving King Sun, Steward Xu and a cadre of guards.
