40. There are many disasters in the world, and time has passed without a trace!

Yang Chen and the other four walked and searched all the way, but they never found the slightest trace of Banqin, and even the people in the Demon Palace suddenly disappeared!

After walking like this for nearly a month, they arrived in southern Xinjiang, and this place was no longer within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Heroes Villa, so a few people were naturally more careful. It's just that the enemy situation is inexplicable, and the things to be visited are not very well understood, which makes several people quite annoyed!

Although people have arrived in the place, they still don't know how to act. After a while, the only thing that can be confirmed is that southern Xinjiang is indeed rich in poisons, and the martial arts sect here does not seem to be very enthusiastic about the Central Plains colleagues. Because Xianzhen has visited several long-known sects alone, although the hospitality is polite, but the hypocrisy is obvious!

But this is not to blame people, first, the people in the martial arts of the Central Plains have been arrogant since ancient times, and they regard the martial arts people outside the border as uneducated barbarians. Second, in the past 50 years since Xuexi became the leader of the martial arts alliance, the Central Plains martial arts have been quite closed, so there is very little interaction with the outside world.

Nowadays, a few people do not dare to ask people about secrets casually, so they can only secretly bump into each other, and of course it will not go very well! But they can go around and around, but there is still no clue. If it weren't for Yang Chen's extreme insistence, even Xianzhen wouldn't have had the slightest hope for this trip!

After walking for a long time, several people found that the human race in southern Xinjiang was extremely complex. But whether it is the Central Plains people or the Hu people, they are relatively independent here. Most of the Hu people do business, and most of the people in the Central Plains seem to be those who do not specialize in making a living, or pick up some leftovers, and pick up some leftover medicinal materials to sell cheaply, it is conceivable that these people are mostly idle people in their hometowns!

Several young monks and laymen traveled together, and they passed through tribes and villages, and found that the treatment of the Central Plains people in southern Xinjiang did not seem to be very good!

Finally walked into a larger county town, and for the first time found that there was an inn opened by the Central Plains. Walking in, the guy greeted him warmly.

Looking around the store, they are also Central Plains customers. I ordered a few meals casually, and a few people paid attention to the situation around them while eating. I didn't see anyone paying special attention to myself, so I was a little relieved.

Until he saw that there were fewer and fewer customers in the store, Yang Chen stopped the guy and asked: "Man, after walking down this way, we found that the shops around us are very lively, and we have heard that there are all kinds of people in southern Xinjiang, but why are there only us Central Plains people in this store, and everyone doesn't seem to be very affectionate?"

The guy looked around and asked, "It seems that the four of you have just arrived in southern Xinjiang, right?"

"yes! What's wrong?"

"Hey! It's no wonder, to tell you the truth, in the villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles around here, we are the only inn opened by the Central Plains. Speaking of which, it's because our boss and Thorn Shi are relatives!"

The four of them looked at each other curiously, and they didn't know what they meant for a while! Xuelu was clever, took out a piece of silver and handed it over: "Man, we are new to the city, and we don't understand a lot of things, please tell us about it, and save us from accidentally committing any taboos!"

When the guy saw Yinzi, his face immediately became very enthusiastic: "Hey! Speaking of which, I am not angry! Originally, in the early years, the people of the Central Plains were quite good in southern Xinjiang, and they all regarded us as the nobles of the Shangbang that day. Moreover, the people of southern Xinjiang are very simple, and there is nothing bad about them. But most of the people from the Central Plains who came here at the beginning came because of the abundance of pearls and jade in southern Xinjiang and cherished medicinal materials. Originally, it was not a big deal to do business, but since the chaos in the Central Plains, the imperial court has rarely taken care of southern Xinjiang, like the Western Regions, and there are gradually more people in Persia, so whoever dares to do business is more real than our Central Plains people. I can't do it anymore, and I can't pick up the cheap. After such a back and forth, the people of southern Xinjiang gradually regarded the people of the Central Plains as liars, and no one refused to do business with us anymore. Some went back to the Central Plains, and some could only stay and pick up the rest of the rest and go back and forth to the Central Plains. Anyway, in southern Xinjiang, only the Central Plains people are willing to enter the ......."

The four of them were full of loss when they heard this, in the history of the Central Plains, all dynasties and dynasties had taken care of the surrounding neighbors, but it was the generals who benefited the most who often invaded the territory and took revenge. But who can blame that?

Civil wars in the Central Plains were frequent, and many people were displaced. How many homes have been destroyed, and people who cannot survive have fled. But those poor people are still hard to change their habits in other places, and they do everything to deceive and deceive, so how can they blame others for belittling themselves?

At the moment, the four of them had no choice but to stay at the inn temporarily. The guy took the benefit, and he naturally greeted him more enthusiastically.

And now they still have no clue what they are going to do, so they can only wander around and pay attention to what they see.

One day, the four of them were resting in a teahouse opened by Hu Ren, and Xuelu was bored looking at the people coming and going on the street by the window, and the stream was endless. But it is clear that most of the people of the Central Plains are isolated from other ethnic groups. And as seen in this Hu people's teahouse, the guy was also very polite to the four of them, but he didn't have any sincere enthusiasm for the other guests!

There was a casual chat, and two people from the Central Plains in light clothes suddenly came up at the staircase. Looking around, I came to the table of four.

"The four of you seem to have just arrived in southern Xinjiang, right?"

The four of them were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other! Xianzhen nodded: "What advice do the two brothers have?"

When the two of them heard this, they immediately sat down honestly and unceremoniously, and the one who looked more shrewd laughed in a low voice: "As the saying goes: rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out! Fortunately, I got a treasure by chance, it is the fertilizer and water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, if the four of you are interested in the price, we can discuss!"

When the four of them heard this, they all felt a kind of laughter and tears! The guy at the inn had already reminded them that because the people of the Central Plains were quite despised in southern Xinjiang, many people liked to find their compatriots who had just arrived to cheat. So if someone from the Central Plains suddenly comes to talk about business, then you must be careful and careful!

Yang Chen's heart couldn't help but burst into flames, but his face was not moved at all: "What treasures does that brother have in the future?"

The man's face showed a mysterious look when he heard this, and he looked around for a while, and then took out a white jade pendant the size of a half palm from his arms!

Yang Chen was shocked when he saw this, and Xuelu was also extremely surprised, but he hurriedly held him down and asked the two calmly: "What kind of jade is this?

The man laughed and said, "Miss doesn't know, this is a treasure that Nan ** has." And white jade with such a good color is rare in southern Xinjiang!"

"Oh, so how did you get it?"

"This ......"

Seeing his eyes flickering, Xuelu smiled slightly: "Two big brothers, since everyone is from the Central Plains, it is also appropriate to help each other in difficulties." You might as well make a price, we can negotiate!"

The two glanced at each other, and the man flattered him again: "Miss is really a cheerful person! Actually, our brothers just want to earn some money to go back to their hometown, and one hundred and eighty taels is about the same......

"Well, it's a silver ticket of one hundred taels......"

The man's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the silver ticket, and he was about to reach out to take it. Xuelu suddenly held it down again: "The silver ticket is here, but I want to know where the two of you came from?"

The man's face hesitated when he heard this, and he muttered for a while before he said, "Don't hide it, Miss! From there, there is a Beacon Mountain forty miles west, and this jade is the ...... my brothers got from there."

Nodding, Xuelu took the white jade and said a few perfunctory words. After seeing the two leave, Yang Chen hurriedly snatched the jade pendant and carefully checked it repeatedly: "Senior sister, this is really ......."

Xianzhen and Yidao looked at the two strangely, and Xuelu nodded gloomily: "That's right! This is Tianshan Hanyu, Dad's piece is exactly the same as this one......

At the top of the Tianshan Mountains, there is an eternal accumulation of cold ice, which Gu Huishen accidentally discovered decades ago and chiseled out a piece of cold jade. Later, after Xuexi cut the cold jade, he found a skilled craftsman to carve and decorate it into a jade pendant, which was given to his five wives and fourteen children as family heirlooms.

In other words, only the Xue family has this kind of cold jade jade pendant in the world. So if this jade appears on outsiders, it means that something happened to the Xue family!

Xianzhen frowned slightly when she heard this: "Xue Lao will definitely be prepared after receiving the message, but he will not send people to such a far southern Xinjiang, ......right?"

Although he wanted to comfort the two, he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart. Yang Chen was very anxious, and clutched the jade pendant tightly and said, "No matter what, it's right to go to Beacon Mountain." If any of the uncles are lost, they must find a way to save them......"

The four of them had the same thoughts, and immediately returned to the inn to pack up. I asked the guy for the path and went out of the city immediately.

After walking for more than 20 miles, I suddenly saw some people in front of me, supporting each other and walking hard.

After walking a few steps, Xuelu approached a young woman who was helping an old woman to walk slowly forward and asked, "This sister, why are you so the road, and where are you going?"

The woman looked at her with a sad face: "Hey! Go to Beacon Hill for medical treatment!"

"Beacon Mountain for medical treatment?" Several people were greatly surprised when they heard this, and they didn't know how to ask for a while, but the woman looked at a few people and asked: "You are from other places, right? In the past few months, the plague has spread in the nearby villages of ten miles and eight villages, and many people have died. Everyone heard that there was a miracle doctor in Beacon Hill, and many of them were cured of the plague, so now everyone who heard about it rushed to seek medical treatment!"

The four of them looked at each other! Plagues have taken many lives since ancient times, and they are no less harmful than any kind of natural disaster. And people of insight often do not believe in treatments, but do not doubt those who are cured. Rather, it is because the so-called "plague" is alleviated, and even cured, after the continuation of the disease has stopped.

Therefore, many people began to think that the plague is actually a self-extinguishing thing, and the so-called "treatment" is only for patients with mild diseases, and they have never heard of a way to really avoid the occurrence of the plague!

After walking for a while, you can already see a mountain with three peaks in the distance, which resembles a pen holder, which must be the destination of this trip. And after walking for a long time, I saw a crowd of people in front of me, and the sound of weapons intersecting could be heard in the gap.

Finally squeezed into the crowd, and saw that the intersection of the mountain was blocked by more than a dozen nuns at this time, and at this time, there were two sword-wielding nuns fighting a middle-aged man. And the man had a pair of judge's pens in his hand, even if he fought two opponents, he would not fall behind.

The four of them couldn't help but be surprised when they recognized the man, because this person was Lihuo, one of the eight masters of the Demon Palace who had been to the Righteous Heroes Villa before. Although the formation formed by him and the other three was very powerful, his own martial arts were not general. At this time, the two nuns who fought with him, the older one was about thirty-seven or eighteen, and the younger one was twenty-three or four at most, and they could actually fight with him on a par. I can't imagine that there are such powerful characters in such a remote place!

However, by this time, the two nuns had gradually become defeated. After all, there is a gap in cultivation itself, and the fire moves are heavy, and although the moves of the two nuns are dexterous, they can only fight and retreat.

Yang Chen hated the people of the Demon Palace because of Banqin, and at this time, it can be said that the enemy was extremely red when he saw him, so he immediately drew his sword and jumped out, stabbing straight to the back of the neck!

After all, leaving the fire is not ordinary, hearing the wind behind him, he immediately forced back the opponent in front of him, and double-stroked backwards. Yang Chen didn't want to sneak attack from behind, and this sword was mainly to relieve the siege. Immediately, the long sword pressed down and flipped back with force.

Seeing the four of them, Lihuo also seemed to be quite surprised!"It turned out to be Yang Shaoxia and Snow Woman of the Righteous Heroes Villa, as well as the masters of the Evil Dao, the virtuous and honest Taoists, disrespectful! Disrespectful! But the Righteous Heroes Villa has never been only in the Central Plains martial arts? When did you extend your hand to the southern frontier?"

Yang Chen's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and Xuelu slowly stopped in front of him: "Your Excellency won't worry about the affairs of the Righteous Heroes Villa, just like we won't spy on why your faction came here to bully people!

Lihuo frowned slightly when he heard this, and his mind turned, secretly thinking that although he had a few subordinates by his side, at least the martial arts of the alien and virtuous in front of him were never under him, and it was absolutely no good to fight hard.

"Okay! Okay! Since the master of Yixia Mountain Villa is here, I will sell your personal favor today......! , the nuns listen, tell Luo Hao! This matter will never be settled like this......"

Seeing that he was about to leave the fire, Yang Chen was about to block it, but Xuelu grabbed him and reminded him in a low voice: "The big thing is important!"
