Chapter 52: To the Desert
Qin Chuan walked slowly along the way, and with the death of the enemy, the hidden anger in Qin Chuan's heart had been released a lot. But Qin Chuan's temperament has also become cold, he now feels alone, and only the small village under the mountain can give Qin Chuan a warm feeling.
In the distance of Qinchuan, I saw the old tree that was about to die from a distance, but half of it still had green willow leaves. Seeing this, the corners of Qin Chuan's mouth showed a satisfied smile.
Qin Chuan returned to the mountain village for two purposes, first, to worship his parents, and second, to see the old uncle Wang who took care of him and had a family.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Qin Chuan quietly entered the village without alarming anyone. Nothing has changed in the village, and the villagers, as usual, eat after dark, go to rest after eating, and then go to work in Tianli after dawn. Live the days of sunrise and sunset.
Qin Chuan walked all the way and saw many acquaintances. has Aunt Li who takes care of him, Qin Chuan now seems that Aunt Li is much older, and there are a lot of wrinkles on her face. Qin Chuan remembered that when he left, he was not so old. And his pillar brother has also become a black and strong young man.
Time is like a knife, more or less carved the imprint of time on the bodies of these people. Qin Chuan didn't see Zhang Biao's family. But the original few houses were still there, Qin Chuan walked in to take a look, and found that it was already a layer of gray, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Qin Chuan took a brief look and returned to the small courtyard where he lived. Qin Chuan looked at the bows and arrows and spears placed in the small courtyard. There are also stone tables and wooden chairs in the courtyard, and Qin Chuan's mind recalls the scene of his father calling himself hunting. And the last father, when he died, looked at himself with such kindness and reluctance.
At this moment, all kinds of sad emotions surged out from the depths of Qin Chuan's heart, frantically filling Qin Chuan's body. At this moment, the mana in Qin Chuan's body also became restless. Fiery red mana, and silver mana. Fluctuating wildly in Qin Chuan's body, Qin Chuan's mind was almost lost.
At this moment, the golden bead in his body suddenly flew in, and in Qin Chuan's mind, a burst of golden light flashed. Qin Chuan felt a warm air flow flowing into his soul, and Qin Chuan suddenly came to his senses.
After waking up, Qin Chuan murmured with a wry smile on his face: "You saved me again, what the hell are you?" No matter how Qin Chuan asked, the golden beads lay motionless in Qin Chuan's dantian.
Qin Chuan had just seen things and thought of people, thinking of his old father, his mind was lost, and the demon in his heart suddenly invaded, if it weren't for the appearance of the mysterious golden bead, he would have become a monster who only knew how to kill.
Qin Chuan sat in the small courtyard for a long time, thinking a lot, and finally everything turned into a sigh. After a few glances at the small courtyard, he left here. Walk towards a hill in the village.
The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, and the wind is urgent in the evening. On a scenic mountain, Qin Chuan quietly looked at the two lonely graves. One is his parents' and the other is his old Uncle Wang's.
In fact, when Qin Chuan arrived at Zhang Biao, he found that Zhang Biao was not there, and he had guessed such a situation, and Qin Chuan asked Zhang Biao to take good care of Old Man Wang. Zhang Biao actually left, either Old Man Wang was picked up by him, or he died.
Qin Chuan took out incense, candles, and sacrifices from the storage love. I worshipped in front of the old man Wang and his parents.
Qin Chuan looked at a person whose head was in front of his parents' graves, turning into ashes. He muttered: "Father, mother, rest in peace!" Most of the enemies have been killed by the child, and the child will go to the desert again in a few days, and he will definitely kill the thieves who chased you and his mother back then, and comfort you and his mother's spirit in the sky. ”
"Dad, your son has grown up. Back then, you and your mother didn't let me go to the rivers and lakes, for fear that I would suffer losses in the rivers and lakes. But the child has enough strength to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes today.
"Only now do I understand what you mean by the sinister rivers and lakes back then, there are too few good people on the rivers and lakes, too many villains vying for fame and fortune, and tending to be inflammatory. I also understand the hardships of you and your mother. Let me live the life of an ordinary person who works at sunrise and perches at sunset. But this is not what I want, I practiced the exercises left by my mother and embarked on a path of cultivating immortals. This road is different from the rivers and lakes, he is more dangerous than the rivers and lakes, the immortal cultivators are more powerful than the warriors, and they are more difficult than the people in the rivers and lakes. But this is the path I have chosen, I have no regrets, no matter whether it is good or bad in the future, I will unswervingly go on. ”
"Uncle Wang treated me like a parent, taught me to read and write, and taught me how to schem. But I, Qin Chuan, couldn't see you for the last time, and I couldn't keep filial piety for you to the end. Today I brought the best wine in the rivers and lakes to toast you. Saying that, Qin Chuan raised the wine jug in his hand, arrived in front of Old Man Wang's tomb, and then poured a few more sips of wine himself.
......
This night, Qin Chuan talked a lot and drank a lot of wine, but in the end, Qin Chuan didn't know. Having said something, he drank and whispered to himself.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Chuan took advantage of the dim sky and left Liushu Village. He came quietly and went quietly.
Qin Chuan took one last look at the small village behind him. He knew that if he was gone, there was no possibility of returning in this life. There is no intersection with the people in the village anymore. It is better not to see it than to see it, so as not to increase the troubles. Qin Chuan left, and it was impossible to come back, and Xiaocun could only be deeply imprinted in his mind.
Qin Chuan didn't use the Wind Resisting Technique to hurry this time, and at this moment he was riding on a tall horse and walking all the way to the west.
Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Liuzhou. These three states were the westernmost states of the Jin Kingdom. Among them, Liangzhou is in the east, Liuzhou is in the west, and Ganzhou is in the middle. If you want to get in and out of the desert, you have to go out of Liuzhou. Qin Chuan didn't know anything about the desert, he knew that his enemy was the Thirteen Eagles of the Desert, who lived in the Flying Eagle Ridge.
Because the Thirteen Eagles of the Desert are the most ferocious bandits in the desert. But the martial arts of the people among them are not weak, and many martial arts people and the government have surrounded and suppressed them, but they have never succeeded. And then it was gone.
The failure of the government's encirclement and suppression has fueled the arrogance of these bandits, who continue to attack the passing merchants. But these bandits also seem to understand the truth of fishing with all their might. They only robbed half of the loot each time, leaving some items for the merchants. Because from the Central Plains, some tea, porcelain and daily necessities are sold to the other side of the desert to the herdsmen on the grassland, which is very profitable. Even if they are robbed by bandits and these businessmen in general, they still have a lot of money. These businessmen are also popular, and they make money anyway.
If they can get away with it, then they can make a very large profit. This speculative mentality, and the lure of huge wealth, inspired many merchants to flock to the desert.
But bandits, even bandits, they will kill people when they are unhappy, and many caravans will sometimes be slaughtered, which gives rise to an industry bodyguard.
Outside the city of Liuzhou and on the edge of the desert. There were many warriors who specialized in protecting passing merchants. They then take a commission from it as remuneration. These people don't necessarily protect the safety of their customers 100 percent. But with these warriors here, even if they meet bandits, the bandits won't go too far. Because the two sides fight to the death, the bandits are not stupid, they rarely fight hard with people, as long as they grab something, they run.
So these businessmen, even if they know that these people can't keep them safe, will still find some people to act as their bodyguards. Even if these people don't have force, it's good to act as a person, and they can only increase their momentum with a small amount, and they won't be afraid of bandits in the future.
Of course, the warriors who go to the desert are not all here to be bodyguards. Some come for treasure hunting. In fact, both ends of the desert are inhabited. At the other end of the desert are the grasslands. The abode at the other end of the steppe was a powerful empire. The desert exists between two rich plains. Some people say that this desert contains rich treasures. This desert was originally a fertile land, inhabited by many people, all of whom possessed a lot of wealth. But somehow, all of a sudden, it became a desert. A lot of wealth is also buried underneath.
Many of those treasure hunters came for these treasures, and some of them were lucky. I did get a lot of treasures, but most of them came home empty-handed. That's it, and it's also a lot of interest for many. A steady stream of warriors came here to explore treasures.
Qin Chuan knew that this desert was full of mystery. What his father was doing in the desert, Qin Chuan didn't know. But Qin Chuan knew that there was a treasure in the desert, but it was not false. Because the mysterious beads in the Qinchuan dantian were found here.
Warriors and merchants are always the main theme of the desert. Qin Chuan sat on his horse, looking at the desert in the distance and the warriors with swords in their hands. He faintly felt excited, because he felt that this revenge would definitely not be so simple. (To be continued)
