Chapter 9: Before the Tu Fort
Although the world in front of us is magical, it still cannot be compared with the 21st century in many aspects, such as transportation. Every time we separate, it may be the last time we will see each other.
Seeing the Taoist scatter away, Liu Chen felt somewhat sad in his heart. The two have only known each other for a day, and it is the name of the Taoist, and Liu Chen did not deliberately ask. But in this short period of time, it is enough to leave the friendship of friends.
This is probably what the book says, the white head is as new, and the cover is the same.
This kind of emotion did not immerse Liu Chen for too long, after all, he is a person from the twenty-first century. Although I have some understanding of the world, I still lack some perceptual understanding, and I am only a little sad about parting.
Looking at the valley and the way he left a few days ago, Liu Chen sighed and set off again.
However, compared to the last time when he pinned all his spirit on revenge, this time Liu Chen already knew something about this world when he left. Although the purpose is still to kill that Demon Dao Lu Qingcai, he occasionally thinks about what happened after killing the Demon Dao Lu Qingcai.
Liu Chen has already made a plan for that kind of thing, and he plans to complete a dream in his previous life after the revenge action, and go and look around. When thinking of this dream, Liu Chen felt that his zombie body was actually beneficial.
"Even if you cross over, you can't get rid of the problem of crankiness!"
Liu Chen said something to himself in the empty wilderness, and at the same time, his feet began to run, following the connection with the demon path in his consciousness, all the way forward.
When the speed reached a pole, Liu Chen slowly felt that every time he landed, the heavy qi surging up under his feet was undulating. After a period of observation, Liu Chen has been able to grasp that unique rhythm, and the speed has become faster and faster. At such a speed, it can be called walking like flying.
But it's a pity that if Liu Chen tries to move and change positions in a short distance, he is still a little stiff as before. It seems that this speed can only be used to rush.
Fortunately, Liu Chen is not a greedy person, although he is not perfect, but he can play a role, which is already a surprise for him.
After running all the way for about half a day, Liu Chen saw the shadow of Zhao Qian and their group of soldiers from a distance. They used to have only 1,500 people on the left, center, and right, but now it seems that there are more of them, and they should have been selected from those 500 captives.
Their goal is the same as Liu Chen's Xincheng, but according to their speed, it is estimated that it will take more than a day to reach Xincheng.
"It's better for my side to solve it quickly, if it really starts, it will be troublesome. ”
Looking at the army that still maintained a certain degree of law when marching, Liu Chen couldn't help but think of the caution of the Taoist and him when talking about the soldier's attack technique. As a Dao Law manifestation world, the reason why there is still such an existence as the imperial court is due to the protection of the soldiers.
Even the mysterious ghosts and gods have a history of being killed by strong armies in this world. There are countless elves and ghosts like Liu Chen.
Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Chen kept under his feet, quickly crossed this group of troops, and headed in the direction of Xincheng. As he got closer and closer to Xincheng, Liu Chen's perception of the demon path Lu Qingcai became clearer and clearer.
Feeling such feedback, Liu Chen wanted to rush straight to Xincheng in one go, but when he was close to Xincheng for sixty or seventy miles, he sensed that something was wrong around him, so he cautiously lowered his speed.
Compared with leaving the city, Xincheng is much more prosperous, although there are still sixty or seventy miles away from the city, but you can already see three or four villages from a distance. However, such a village made Liu Chen feel a little weird, and when Liu Chen passed through a village, he found out the reason for the weirdness, and there were no people in those villages anymore.
"What's going on?"
Seeing such a strange scene, Liu Chen stopped for a while, and the traces of life could be clearly seen in this village, but there was no one. After turning around a few villages a little, Liu Chen found that the traces on the ground were all converging in one direction.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Chen deflected the direction of his actions, following the traces left on the ground, mainly the footsteps of some people and a few chariots and horses, and moved forward carefully.
After walking a short distance, about a dozen miles, Liu Chen saw a half-earth and half-brick walled building appear in front of him. Looking at that appearance, in addition to the size and shape, it can already be regarded as a small city. And the tracks on the ground are almost all gathered here.
"Could it be that people in this world also play strong walls and clear fields?"
At this point, Liu Chen almost figured out what was going on. When he was chatting with Li Yu in the army, he heard that the Taoists of this world have the ability to communicate remotely. Although it is about the level of cable telegraph, it is still possible to transmit military information. It wasn't strange to be able to react before Zhao Qian and the others arrived.
The reason why Liu Chen was surprised was the organizational ability displayed by Qingye with such a strong wall. Such a firm and decisive method and ability, no matter how you look at it, are far from the incompetent imperial court in the mouth of Li and Zhao Qian.
Seeing this situation, Liu Chen was a little worried about the safety of Li Qi and Zhao Qian next. However, Liu Chen had no intention of helping them, so he prepared to leave.
But just as he was leaving, a group of people came noisily, and after taking a look at the situation, it turned out that the people of another village had been gathered here.
However, it was clear that the men had not come to the bunker willingly, and most of them were disgruntled. Their clamor is angry and powerful, not the crying of forced action under normal circumstances.
Such a strange phenomenon all came from a man on horseback, a figure that Liu Chen was somewhat familiar with. To be precise, that person's costume Liu Chen is very familiar.
Without thinking about it, Liu Chen could see that the clothes that the person was wearing were exactly the same as the blue and gray Taoist robe that Lu Qingcai was wearing. Obviously, that person was also a Lingbao Taoist priest, and he was Lu Qingcai's fellow disciple.
"You people in the mountains, men and women hurry up and separate, there are rules in this earthen fort, you know!"
When he was about to enter the earthen fort, two stout men behind the Taoist rushed into the crowd, and then dragged a few men and women who walked together to forcibly separate.
"This is a family, the children still have to be with them, how can they be separated!"
A middle-aged man with slender arms in the crowd stood up, grabbed the arms of the two men, and said with a frown.
