Chapter 90: The Guide (1)
Everything is decided and then acted - the past experience in Baiyun Township and the half-year claustrophobic confinement in the sarcophagus have made me develop this habit.
For five days, I went over and over the road map at hand. Except for this picture, Yu Zhenghong didn't give me any more hints, and I relied on myself to ponder.
Maintaining the speed of a famous horse traveling thousands of miles a day, a distance of nearly 300,000 miles can be reached in 300 days - and I, as Jindan, can achieve subsonic cruise, the foot range is not a problem, and there should be plenty of time.
The problem is that if there is a delay on the road, I have less than 200 days to adjust.
The road map has several piercing red circles, which stipulate that I must pass through the big cities, where there are Kunlun men to supervise and confirm my itinerary.
"Lingyamen" in southern Xinjiang, "Jinling City" in Wudi, "Imperial Capital" in the world, "Chang'an" in Guanzhong, and "Jusha City" in the desert...... The person who wrote the question seems to have deliberately pushed me into the famous capital, these metropolises are mixed, there are black, white and gray characters, and a large number of prickly cultivators also live in seclusion to experience and muddy the waters.
If you get into any trouble there, you will delay things and time
But I was also a little eager to try, and I had only heard of these places in books and from my mother's mouth, and it was a blessing in life to be able to set foot on the land there, and to hear, to smell, and to find the place where my mother grew up in the prime of her life
- Maybe you can find some of Zhi's whereabouts there: the metropolis is the place where we have the most abundant information and the most frequent exchanges in troubled times.
I encouraged myself: Since I am already a cultivator, I don't have to get around the trouble. Cultivators are not afraid of trouble, I have the intelligence and ability, why am I afraid of it?
What makes me more concerned is the shadow area that must be passed through on the road map - they are marked by black circles, and they are all on the edge of the vassal states or imperial counties, which are obviously not good places - in the troubled times, the population radiates to the capital of the vassal states and the county counties, and the transportation and travel far away either rely on the main road with official and military patrols and dart bureau guards to transport by land, or rely on the grand duke to transport the woodbird flock by air - we all know in our common sense that the edge of the county on the map is an abandoned no man's land, or an evil mountain forest infested by monsters, or an ancient battlefield where corpses are not dispersed.
I counted them, and there were 11 small shadow areas on the route that had to be passed, and four large shadow areas -- the "Five Poisonous Miasma Forest" in southern Xinjiang, the "Dragon and Snake Daze" in Chudi, the "Heavenly Absolute Valley" in the ancient battlefield of the waste road from Zhongzhou to Qindi, and the "White Camel Mountain" in the desert. There are also Kunlun people there to supervise and confirm my trip.
I thought about it, these four places have long been in the top ten fierce places in Zhiwei novels, and the legendary Jindan will also change color.
- I touched my face, at least my former wild gold pill did not change color.
"The old name of the Inner Disciple Qualification Examination is called the Nine Difficult Tests, which actually implies that the person who wrote the question generally sets up nine difficult tests - this is a small piece of information that I reported to my uncle, thank you for letting me wait for another five days on this desert island. ”
It's a new day, and I hear the girl's bright voice.
- I calculated, five metropolises plus four murderous places, which is exactly nine levels.
But I gave birth to another heart, and no one can guarantee that I didn't hide off.
The two Yan Ruolin were flying or walking between the sand and the woods to practice swords, the golden light and silver light crisscrossed each other, and the groves were flattened by the sword light or the overflowing sword qi. When the two swords attack wildly, the movement is so great that it is like a dragon churning willfully in the sea, and when the two swords are silently entangled, it is like two teams of thousands fighting for the top of the mountain inch by inch in the night when they don't see their fingers.
I've observed it in the past few days, and her sword intent is both domineering and cunning, and this girl who is a head shorter than me is like a mad demon when she fights - but if it is purely martial arts, I am slightly better than her. Most of her sword skills seem to be aimed at huge demon beasts, and the feeling of killing people is not as good as mine.
- If I had that kind of stealth technique and doppelganger attraction method in the face of the scattered cultivation of the island treasure hunt at that time (seeing through the bottom, it would not be unusual), I would have been able to achieve more brilliant results than her with my sword skills.
My best weapon is the sword.
Speaking of treasure hunting and casual cultivation, on the fifth day, she didn't wait for the backup of the forty thieves to land on the island, wasting the new clone that Yan Ruolin had hurriedly condensed.
Five days ago she begged me not to leave immediately, although the Lord of the Ferry House ended the commission, and the girl hoped that if there were no reinforcements from the thieves, it would always be good to get an extra bounty, and she could share it with me.
So I agreed.
"Forget it, uncle, I admit it, and I will give up all my work. The rule of the Forty Thieves is that if someone dies, they will find another Jindan to replace it, so that after a while, the organization can be restored. Not counting the one you killed before, I've killed twenty of them since last winter. I thought I would be able to catch sixteen ...... in one fell swoop this time."
"You've done a great job. I comforted her like an adult
- The two of us are going to kill sixteen gold pills here, and your appetite is too great.
Yan Ruolin put away the doppelganger, stroked my silver snake sword lovingly, and finally returned it to me.
I recited the newly learned sword technique, and the sword turned into a low-key silver bracer that was tied to my hand - now I know that the sword pill trick of sword art is to shrink the flying sword into other portable metal artifacts when not in use - Yan Ruolin's hairpin, my current bracer, are both in the form of sword pill camouflage.
- The girl asked me to borrow the Silver Snake Sword for five days, and I exchanged it for her sword pill recipe that she passed down orally in the sword technique, and now I can at least shrink my own sword.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for borrowing me the Five Heavens Sword again. My father said that the origin of this silver snake sword is very large, it was given to Uncle Shi by Yun Zhenren of the Sword Sect to commemorate his previous life, and it is also the only thing left by Uncle Shi in this life. It's really better to be famous than to meet, such a good sword feels like drinking the most beautiful wine just by touching it, if you don't cut some monsters and people to try the sword, it's too disappointing......"
The girl in red covered her mouth and smiled.
I'm used to her thinking of the madness of bloody times, and as a pirate accustomed to killing, I just don't see it. Generally speaking, Yan Ruolin is just a mouth cannon and does not see action. I did not see the blood-red in her eyes, and when she said these words, when she thought about them, her eyes were as clear as water.
- This girl is naturally bloodthirsty, but she always restrains herself before crossing the line. It is only released in one breath when it is allowed, like a cat that has not eaten fish for a long time.
said that he was a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, but in fact, he was more like a little demon woman.
- However, didn't Xingzong also produce a Chinese traitor like Gongsun Shanjun and a big pirate like the big boss of Nangong?
I don't think about it anymore. Now that the Silver Snake Sword has been refined, and the sword spirit is connected with me, I don't have to start with the basic sword refining for the time being, I just need to ask Yan Ruolin about the use of the flying sword. I've learned the sword pill technique, and I'll ask you how to fly with the sword after a while, and now I have the wind snake flying.
"Fengmeng, let's go. I said.
It flew like a headless fly in the sky, and was relieved to hear my words and landed on the blanket-like windy snake.
In the past five days, Yan Ruolin also taught him how to ride the clouds, and the black and white bear can currently float three feet above the ground for an hour - which is closer to climbing the clouds. Or sit on my snake guard to save effort.
"I was expecting to ride you to the sky—" Yan Ruolin pursed her lips and flew up lightly, flying away from Baiyun Township with us riding snake guards—she didn't use the sword to fly, but the perfect cloud technique.
