Chapter 225
And Lake also followed his father to learn the art of marching and fighting, while Xiaomeng followed Lake's mother, and he was also happy in the Burning Mountain Pass.
The situation of the Dajie Empire, Li Qing and the others did not know anything, and they were still looking for the Light Scepter in the Sonam Empire.
At this time, Li Qing and the others had just arrived at the first big city of the Sonam Empire, the city of Taile, and the entire city of Taile was different from the city style of the Dajie Empire and the Apelo Empire.
The city of Taylor is neither as luxurious and magnificent as Dajie City, nor is it the sharp artistic conception of Abelo City, but it only has a weak and delicate temperament, more like a gentle and moving beauty.
Li Qing and others came to the gate of the city of Taylor, only to see that the whole city is in the back of the mountains and water, the scenery is unique, the trickle of water flows from the river on the side of the city, the willow by the river hangs low on the bank, the breeze blows, it swings slowly, as if beckoning to welcome guests.
There are also some fishermen ferrying in the river, with their nets open, and the fishermen lie in small boats and peep, and every time they lift their nets, the nets reflect the slanting sun and shine with purple-gold light, and the water droplets fall into the river like pearls, and the large and small carp struggle and jump in the nets.
When Li Qing and the others saw such a scene, they couldn't help but sigh, there seemed to be no trace of war here, and it seemed that the war was far away from here.
Angel rode on the horse and sighed: This Sonan Empire doesn't seem to have changed at all, it is exactly the same as when I came a few years ago, it hasn't changed at all, it is still so peaceful and peaceful, and I don't feel the existence of the Dark Demon Sect here! Li Qing said lightly: Nothing can only look at the surface, but also the ugly heart wrapped under the beautiful appearance, how easy it is to see the surface of things clearly! Angel said: What the eldest brother said is very true, this may be the reason why the Dark Demon Sect chose the Sonan Empire as its base camp! Li Qing said: Let's go, let's go into the city! After finishing speaking, he took the lead in riding a horse towards the city of Taylor.
Looking at the pedestrians who entered and exited the city gate, Li Qing and the others found that the people here did not wear swords, which was completely different from the situation where the Apelo Empire had a sword in their hands.
Everyone was polite and smiling, and there was no courage and ruthlessness at all, while Li Qing and the others almost everyone carried swords, but they were very conspicuous.
Those people are not only because Li Qing and the others are all handsome and extraordinary, and their eyes are grim, but also because everyone reveals a bloody temperament that has been battle-hardened, showing that they are not ordinary people.
Fortunately, Angel wore a homemade milky white face towel to cover her peerless beauty, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that could speak, otherwise I am afraid that it would cause chaos in the whole city.
Li Qing said lightly: Let's find an inn to rest first, and set off tomorrow! Angel said softly: Everything is up to Brother Li Qing! The thief king next to him said: I know that there is an inn in the city that is still good, let's go there and settle down! Li Qing said: Then the thief king will lead the way! After finishing speaking, he followed the thief king towards the city. The houses and buildings in Taylor City are as beautiful as they can be, as if they are all works of art, which makes people dizzy.
There are also rivers in the city, meandering, running through the whole city, as if it is a city of water, which is really unique.
After a while, under the attention of pedestrians, everyone finally came to the inn that the thief king said, at first glance, it was really luxurious and exquisite, and the Xiangyu Manlou of the city of Lintian had a fight.
I saw the four words Wenxiang Inn written on the horizontal wooden sign of the inn, which was really a little bookish, and the thief king said loudly: "It's here, it's this Wenxiang Inn!" Angel looked up at the wooden sign on the door of the store, and said to herself: "Wenxiang Inn?" The thief said with a smile: Yes, it is called Wenxiang Inn here, mainly because there are many jasmine flowers in the courtyard of the guest rooms behind the inn, which are fragrant, so it is called Wenxiang! Li Qing and the others smelled it, and sure enough, the whole place was filled with a faint fragrance of jasmine, which made people feel refreshed, no wonder this place was named Wenxiang Inn, and it really lived up to its name.
At this time, the enthusiastic waiter of the inn walked out of it, and said to Li Qing and the others with a smile on his face: Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside! The king of thieves said: Take care of our horses, open a few more rooms for us, and we will stay in the hotel! The waiter hurriedly replied: Okay, all the guests, just rest assured! After speaking, he beckoned several other waiters to drive the horses of Li Qing and others into the stable, and he took Li Qing and others into the inn.
I saw that there were a lot of customers in the restaurant in the inn, and since it was almost dinner time, it was natural that there were many more people drinking here.
Li Qing and the others rushed for a few days, and they only ate a little dry food and game along the way, of course, Li Qing and the others did not need grains, and the Phantom Squad and the Flame Shadow Team, the Thief King had not cultivated to this realm, and now that they were in the city inhabited by humans, they naturally had to eat a good meal and get some sleep.
The king of thieves said to Li Qing: "Li Qing, let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, what do you think?" Li Qing looked at the mercenary members under his command, and saw that everyone looked like dusty servants, so he said: Just follow what the king of thieves said! Everyone came to the second floor of the restaurant, the second floor was relatively quiet, a little less than the first floor, and there were a few empty tables for Li Qing and the others to eat.
The Phantom Squad and the Shadow Squad each had a table, Li Qing and the others had a table, and the other guests also looked at Li Qing and the others from time to time, after all, Li Qing and the others were also very eye-catching.
The waiter greeted him warmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you need to have?" The king of thieves smiled and said, "Just come some of your restaurant's signature dishes, and then some of your smelling wines!" The waiter hurriedly said: "Okay!" Everyone, wait a moment, the food will arrive soon! After speaking, he walked downstairs.
At this time, the king of thieves smiled and said to everyone: The fragrant wine here is a must, the entrance is sweet, and there is a faint aroma, but this wine is very powerful! Hearing the king of thieves say this, Tianhuo and Xiaohuo, who were lying on the table, immediately raised their heads, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
When everyone saw Tianhuo and Xiaohuo like this, they couldn't help laughing.
After a while, everyone's dishes and fine wines came up, and everyone enjoyed these delicacies to their heart's content, frantically sweeping the delicious food in front of them, while Tianhuo and Xiaohuo were only interested in smelling fragrant wine, and they were dispensable for others.
When everyone had finished their delicious food and returned to their respective rooms under the guidance of the waiter, the sky was gradually darkening and the sun was sinking.
Li Qing and the others returned to the room to meditate and cultivate, and breathe well, hoping that they could fully recover from their injuries after the battle with the Blood Beast Demon General.
At this moment, there was a team of dusty men and horses outside the Smelling Fragrance Inn, some of them were dressed as magicians, while others were dressed as knights, the youngest was in their forties, and the leader was a young woman with a noble temperament and a light veil covering her face, exuding a noble and inviolable aura on her body, which made people feel awe.
And those magicians and those knights were very respectful to the woman, and did not dare to transgress in the slightest, and everything was headed by the woman.
I only heard one of the elderly magicians bow his head respectfully and say to the noble woman: "Honorable Divine Envoy, let's rest here for one night, and then go to the Heaven-Shaking City tomorrow!" The noble woman with a light veil said: Just as you said! The voice was quiet and ethereal, and there was no mortal atmosphere at all, so that after hearing it, people would be in a peaceful state of mind.
The old magician said respectfully: Yes, the god envoy of the lord! The waiter of the Wenxiang Inn warmly invited this special team of people into the inn, and he did not dare to slack off at all, you must know that the waiter here has been here to greet guests for many years, and the eye for recognizing people has its own uniqueness, and naturally understands that the group in front of him are all from extraordinary backgrounds, and he must not be able to afford to provoke them.
The group came to the inn, the noble woman with a light veil did not go to the restaurant to eat, but went directly to the guest room to rest, and the accompanying magicians and knights sent a few people to stand outside the guest room to protect the noble woman, and the others went to the restaurant in front to eat.
The noble woman who covered her face with a light veil was in the room, and slowly took off her light veil, revealing her beautiful posture, only to see the phoenix eyes and eyebrows, the skin was like clotted fat, and her face was bright and beautiful, as if it was like a hibiscus out of water, delicate and beautiful.
A pair of black eyes are ethereal and deep, and between the anticipation, the aura is overflowing, and there is no red dust and tackiness.
If Li Qing saw it, he would definitely be excited and couldn't help himself, because wasn't there a living Mengyue standing in front of him?
It's a pity that now Li Qing is meditating and cultivating in his room, and he doesn't know that there is a woman who is exactly the same as Meng Yuechang living in the same inn, which is really providential.
The only difference from Mengyue is that there is no emotion in Mengyue's eyes now, as if the lust in the world has nothing to do with her.
Fate is so magical, the woman who is the same as Mengyue is under the same roof, but Li Qing has no idea and can't meet her.
When night fell, the stars in the sky shone endlessly, as if the eyes of the god of fate were secretly watching these two lovers whose fate was bumpy, who loved each other deeply, but could not be imagined.
Li Qing closed his eyes and breathed alone in the room, completely immersed in the cultivation of the Divine Heart Technique, in a realm of forgetting things and self, and had no idea about the things around him.
Wait until the next morning, the golden rooster will dawn, and then slowly wake up from the meditation, check the situation in his body, and find that he is also good, and after a few days of recuperation, it should not be a problem.
Li Qing and the others also got up early in the morning, and after working for a while, they stepped on the first rays of the morning sun and prepared to set off, everyone gathered outside the inn, waiting for Angel to come out and set off together.
You must know that when a woman gets up in the morning, she always has to dress up carefully, not to mention facing the man she likes, Angel is tidying up in the room at this time, and finally packed up everything, so she went out to meet Li Qing and others.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a woman with an elegant temperament and a beauty not under him, which was really eye-catching, although the woman's expression was indifferent, but there was an inviolable look between her eyebrows.
Angel also secretly admired at this time, she couldn't imagine that there was such a lovely person in the world, even if she had to lose three points in temperament, it was really overwhelming.
This beautiful woman is exactly the same woman as Mengyue Chang in Li Qing's mouth.
At this time, the woman also saw Angel, and she was also amazed by Angel's stunning beauty, and Angel's eyes flashed with wisdom and agility, which was even more intoxicating, and her body exuded an ethereal and dusty atmosphere, and it was the first time she had seen such a wonderful person when she descended from the divine realm to this continent.
The two stunning women met in such a situation, but they didn't know each other.
Although Angel and the woman admired each other and nodded in a friendly manner, they did not stop their steps, the two passed by, looked at each other and smiled, but did not talk.
Angel walked to the door of the inn and saw that Li Qing and the others were already waiting outside, so she hurriedly stepped forward and set off with Li Qing and the others.
As soon as Li Qing saw that everyone had arrived, he gave an order, and everyone immediately drove their horses towards the outside of the city, preparing to set off towards the Earthquake Heavenly City.
However, Mengyue and the others set off at noon, and because of the delay of some things, they separated from Li Qing and the others, and they could have seen each other, but in the end they still didn't see each other.
Everything about Mengyue, it wasn't until Li Qing met him that he learned everything about Mengyue for more than 20 years, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
While riding a horse and walking on the road, Angel smiled and said: "Brother Li Qing, I just met a stunning beauty in the inn! When Li Qing heard this, he smiled and said: Is there a more beautiful woman in this world than Sister Qi'er? Our Sister Qi'er is already the most beautiful woman in the world! The thief king next to him also laughed and said: What Li Qing said is that Angel is already the world's number one talented woman, and there are women there who can be compared! After hearing the thief king's ridiculous words, Angel smiled shyly and said: "The thief king, you are so old, and you still have to make fun of the little sister, it's really disrespectful to the old! The thief king laughed and said: Okay, good! Just be an old man and disrespect the old! Haha! Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, and their mood became very happy, and there was laughter and laughter on the way, not too lonely.
At this time, the Dark Demon Sect had completely focused on Li Qing's body, and since Li Qing appeared on the Xuanling Continent, he had repeatedly sabotaged their affairs, as if they couldn't avoid it.
Li Qing and the others galloped on the road, heading towards the City of the Moon, but they knew how many crises were waiting for them along the way, and the Dark Demon Sect was eyeing them.
When the scorching sun above their heads slowly sank to the west, and the sky gradually became darker, everyone also found a meadow by the woods and set up camp here, preparing to spend the night here.
The bonfire was lit, and everyone also took out some dry food and barbecued game, which was also a unique taste in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Li Qing suddenly felt that someone was peeping at this time, and immediately released his divine thoughts to see who was secretly spying on his group.
In an instant, everything in the vicinity was clearly reflected in Li Qing's mind, and he immediately found that a black crow standing on the treetop emitted an unusual aura.
It seemed that it was this black crow peeping at his group of people, Li Qing immediately moved, and his mental power immediately restrained the black crow and slowly sucked it into his palm.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, why did Li Qing catch a crow for no reason, Yasen asked suspiciously: Boss, is there anything wrong with this crow? Li Qing smiled faintly and said: We were watched all the way! As soon as they heard Li Qing's words, everyone couldn't help but look nervous, and Yasen said in a deep voice: Boss, why didn't I find anyone watching nearby? Angel also said: Brother Li Qing, I didn't feel that there were people watching us nearby! Li Qing said: It's not people who are watching us! After speaking, he focused his gaze on the black crow struggling in his palm.
Everyone also looked at the crow according to Li Qing's gaze, and asked suspiciously: Is it ......?
Li Qing said in a deep voice: Yes, it is this crow that is watching us! Angel frowned and said softly: No wonder, I have always felt strange along the way, but I can't say that there is anything wrong there, it turns out that this crow is watching us! Yasen said suspiciously: What is going on? Li Qingdao said: It seems that someone is using birds and beasts to monitor our whereabouts, it seems that our whereabouts have been mastered along the way, if it weren't for this time, this black crow got too close, I'm afraid it would not be easy to find! Yasen said: Who will do this? Angel's beautiful eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and said: Could it be him? Li Qing looked at Angel, who was smart and beautiful, kind and gentle, full of talent, and understanding, and couldn't help but secretly admire her wisdom, and said with a smile: Yes, you guessed well, it was him! The people next to him were confused, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the two of them would play again, Yasen said urgently: Boss, I'm really anxious to die, who are you talking about? Li Qing looked at the black crow in his hand lightly, and said: "Do you say that there is anyone in the Dark Demon Sect who is the most proficient in driving the world's demonic beasts?" Yasen suddenly realized, reacted, and said loudly: Oh! It must be the blood beast demon general, who must be unwilling to fail, so he secretly sent the demonic beast to spy on us! Li Qing said: Yes! After finishing speaking, the dark golden light flashed in his eyes, and the dark golden light wrapped around the black crow, and the black crow suddenly croaked in pain! screamed, black feathers and a hint of black gas coming out of his eyes.
After a while, the strong black gas dissipated, and the black crow suddenly stopped calling, flapping its wings, and swaying slowly to its feet.
The black crow didn't seem to be awake yet, shook its head, blinked its eyes, looked at Li Qing and the others suspiciously, and then immediately flew up in horror, flew towards the jungle, and disappeared in an instant.
Everyone looked at the disappearing black crow, and couldn't help but be on alert, it seemed that the road was far away, and unknown dangers were lurking around.
At the same time, in the main altar of the Dark Demon Cult.
A huge black statue is standing on the altar, and the entire hall is black, which makes people palpitate and make people feel an inexplicable tremor from the depths of their hearts.
The huge black statue can also be said to be a ghostly workmanship, the black brocade robe seems to be fluttering in the wind, not carved from stone, and the face of the statue is carved into the shape of a hideous mask, the black brocade robe is attached to the hat, revealing only the mask's two eyes made of unknown philosopher's stone.
Those eyes seemed to be alive, exuding an inexplicable weird aura, which made people feel cold all over.
And in front of the black, hideous mask statue, there were six people in the same black robe standing in front of the black statue with the hideous mask.
One of them was the blood beast demon general with a wolf's head and a human body, and he was holding a round crystal ball in his hand, and what was shown in the crystal ball was the faces of Li Qing and the others, and as the black qi of the black crow was eliminated, the round crystal ball in his hand suddenly cracked open and shattered into one place.
The Blood Beast Demon General was also surprised, he didn't expect Li Qing to be so powerful and able to see through his Demon Beast technique.
A handsome-looking man next to him laughed and said: "Blood Beast, I see that your Warcraft skills are only at these levels, and you have broken it for a mortal like this! What a shame for the prestige of our Eight Great Demon Generals!" The Blood Beast Demon General's face flashed with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Black Shadow, what are you talking about?" It turned out that the handsome man was the Black Shadow Demon General, one of the Eight Great Demon Generals, and only heard the Black Shadow Demon General smile contemptuously and said: Am I wrong? You also claim to have the strongest body in the Demon World, and you are not beaten by others, and you fled in a hurry! The Blood Beast Demon General was full of anger and shouted: "You, there is a kind of competition with me!" The Black Shadow Demon General glanced at him with contempt and said: It's up to you? Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two demon generals is getting heavier and heavier, he is about to fight, and a burly man with a rough face next to him has a look in his eyes and said sharply: "Stop me, what kind of body will you become!" Hearing the rough man's loud drink, the two of them stopped, and a beautiful woman next to them said: "It's still what the Night King Demon General said, how can we say that we are also the eight demon generals, why can't we fight in the nest?" The Black Shadow Demon General said: Tianyan Demon General, then what do you mean? Tianyan Demon General said with a smile: Then Li Qing defeated our two demon generals in a row, which is really a great shame in our demon world, and our six demon generals must let him taste our power! The Night King Demon General said: Now we are Tianyan, Blood Beast, Black Shadow, Night King, Snow Eyes, and Split Cloud Six Demon Generals are here, and I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with a mere mortal!
