Chapter 46: Sumu City

He has red hair, a piece of pure white below his navel, a slender nose, and is dexterous and cute.

Zhang Yan looked at the psychic dog in the spirit beast bag and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

remembered the scene when he first met the little operator at the outer gate, as well as the lively scene of a group of senior brothers gathering to gamble, and the fighting methods of the two senior brothers Tuoba Yun and Lu Yi made him amazed when he saw the monk's fighting method for the first time.

At that time, I felt that cultivating immortals was so beautiful, just like a group of friends in the village who grew up together in my childhood.

It's just that I didn't expect that the catastrophe was coming, the bloody rain and bloody wind, and the years had passed in a blink of an eye, and it was completely human.

"Whoosh!"

At the moment when Zhang Yan lost his mind, the psychic dog took advantage of the spirit beast bag to open wide, and jumped out of the spirit beast bag.

The four little claws landed lightly, and then ran towards the pile of rocks on the back of the deadwood cliff without looking back, the speed was as fast as lightning, leaving behind the afterimage of the road.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and scolded secretly in annoyance, but he lost his mind for a while and let this little spirit beast run away.

At the foot of his feet, he sacrificed the flying sword, and the sword rose, and Zhang Yan immediately followed and chased after him.

The two young masters of the Mu family behind him were already terrified when they saw Zhang Yan kill Chen Ba in seconds with one move.

Now watching Zhang Yan's imperial sword fly, he was suddenly so frightened that his soul flew away, looking at this battle, the other party was obviously already in the foundation building period.

The two young men with their mouths full of blood foam, seeing that Zhang Yan was going to chase the spirit beast, they were already desperate, endured the pain, blessed themselves with the light body technique with all their might, turned around and rushed away in a hurry in the other direction.

Zhang Yan actually kept releasing his divine sense to pay attention to the two people behind him, seeing that they wanted to escape, where would they let go, not to mention that the two would leak their whereabouts, just say that he and Tuesday Tiger were insulted by them in Luoshan City back then, and almost died, just this reason is enough to kill them a few times.

The next moment, a black light flashed away from Zhang Yan's hand.

The two young masters of the Mu family rushed all the way down the cliff, seeing that Zhang Yan did not catch up, the hearts hanging on the voices of the two people suddenly relaxed, but they still rushed forward like a desperate person.

But a faint black glow faintly flashed in the air, and disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, with two "poofs", the two young masters of the Mu family screamed miserably, and then they both pressed their necks with both hands, and the neck was like a fountain, and blood spurted out, crossing the sky.

Hearing the scream, Zhang Yan waved his hand, moved his mind, summoned back the Shadow Killing Blade, turned around and stepped on the sword to chase in the direction where the psychic dog fled.

Psychic dogs are as fast as electricity in short distances, fast and sensitive.

But if you can escape for a long distance, where can you withstand it, and compared to Zhang Yan's imperial sword flight, the speed of this little spirit beast is much inferior, and it can't escape the lock of Zhang Yan's divine sense at all.

It was only a few miles, and the psychic dog was already out of breath and had no spare strength, and its speed slowed down suddenly, and Zhang Yan grabbed it in his hand as soon as he rose and fell.

"Hehe, see if you are still running, follow me in the future, make sure you eat and drink spicy food, as long as you can help me find more elixir, the elixir is absolutely indispensable to you, and it is not impossible for you to further upgrade your cultivation into a powerful spirit beast." ”

Zhang Yan grabbed a fluffy psychic dog, looked at the cute appearance of the psychic dog, and smiled.

The psychic dog seemed to understand Zhang Que's words, and its body, which had been constantly struggling and twisting, quieted down, but when it was put back into the spirit beast bag by Zhang Que, it still protested with "woo", full of reluctance.

The coming and going of this psychic dog is really enough to turn back and forth, and finally it fell into his hands, I can't help but sigh, but because of this, Zhang Yan's mood has also improved.

Edgeworth returned to the Deadwood Cliff, Zhang Yan was ready to scavenge a few people's things, but he knew that it would be difficult to cultivate in the future, and one more resource would give him more opportunities and hopes.

But when he returned to the cliff, the giant hammer left by Chen Ba's corpse was gone, Zhang Yan was shocked, and he flew down the cliff and came to the two young masters of the Mu family, groped for a while, and found nothing.

The sledgehammer and the storage bags on the two men were taken!

A chill rose from behind Zhang Yan, the whole person's cold hair stood on end, and the Xuantie Wall Spirit Shield and Yellow Dragon Armor were quickly sacrificed in his hand, and the sword rose, and the Killing Shadow Blade was faintly hovering around his body.

Zhang Yan's eyes were cold, and Edgeworth stood in the air, he knew that the more dangerous the situation, the more calm he had to be, so he quickly calmed down, released his divine sense, and probed the surrounding area within a radius of several hundred zhang, but unexpectedly nothing could be detected.

"This person should have left, I didn't expect someone to peep on the side just now, but I didn't find out, it was my carelessness, if this person was in trouble just now, I would be in danger. Hope is just a passing monk, and if you are targeted, it will be difficult to be at peace. ”

Zhang Yan's eyes were cold, and he whispered to himself in disbelief, the clothes behind him were soaked with cold sweat, and his face was slightly white, thinking that someone might be peeping at him from the side, he didn't realize it, and no one felt safe.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath, but did not remove his defense, pinched the trick in his hand, released the fire bullet technique, and burned the bodies of the three people, and then the sword quickly swept towards the depths of the valley, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The deadwood cliff became empty again, and there was no sound on the barren mountains and boulders.

A moment later, a flying rainbow swept from the bottom of the cliff, the speed was not fast, slowly falling on the edge of the cliff, the gray robe, on the back was a bundle of ancient umbrellas, the face was suspicious, the brows were slightly furrowed, looking around.

But it was Zhang Yan who went and returned.

The divine sense swept around several times, and the sword circled around the deadwood cliff, still unable to detect any anomalies, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party really left, maybe it was just a passing monk who picked up the bargain.

Zhang Yan could only comfort himself like this, hoping that his identity was not revealed.

Removed the Yellow Dragon armor and put away the Xuantie Wall Spirit Shield, with a "whoosh", the Shadow Blade just made a faint sound, and returned to his hand, Zhang Yan did not stay any longer, stepping on the flying sword under his feet, and flew away in the direction of Sumu City.

A few miles away on the southern outskirts of Sumu City, Zhang Yan collected the flying sword and walked on the official road of Sumu City on foot.

On both sides of the official road are rows of tall sumu trees, the trunks are dazzling black, extremely smooth, the trunks are thick and straight, breaking through the sky, and the staggered branches tear the sky and generally do not move in the wind.

On the official road, business travel continues.

Most of the carriages that came out of the city were filled with wagons that had been cut into sections.

Most of the people who go to Sumu City are carts loaded with various agricultural products and silk.

Of course, the vehicles that come and go belong to more large and small merchant teams, and the carriages are full of large boxes and I don't know what they contain.

Zhang Yan looked at all this curiously, and the exotic land made him suddenly full of excitement.

In those rushing teams, there were men and women, dusty, but at the moment they were all talking and laughing easily.

In each business travel team, there are almost a few people whose temples are slightly raised, and their steps are steady, even when they are talking, they are always full of vigilance, and they obviously have good skills, and they should be escorts or darts to escort business travelers.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, but still started, following behind a business trip, keeping a certain distance.

In order not to attract attention, he also deliberately approached the carriage of a team, trying to blend in with the crowd.

"This old man, why are you in a hurry? You don't look like a local. A burly man suddenly walked out of the convoy, and walked together with Zhang Yan in two steps, speaking in a loud voice.

Zhang Yan was slightly stunned, but his expression was as usual, and he looked up at the big man beside him.

The big man's hair is tied high, his forehead is wide and bright, his temples are high, and his arms are stretched out like apes.

However, looking at the other party's very bold appearance, there should be no bad thoughts, Zhang Yan simply let go, touched his head honestly, sighed, showed a sadness on his face, and said: "I came out of a small village in a remote ravine, half a month ago there were a lot of huge wolves in our village, one person was tall, and the people in the village were almost eaten, I took off in a cave, and I dared to come out when the wolves retreated, and my family was gone, so I simply came out alone, and I went all the way here." ”

"I see, I think it's because the village has suffered from the disaster of demon beasts, since you can escape, let's mix up in this Sumu City, Ha Luha, seven-foot man, are you afraid that you won't be able to break through?"

The two or three bold words of the big man seemed to wipe away the sadness on Zhang Yan's face.

Zhang Yan also smiled honestly and touched his head with his hand.

"Liu Mang, keep up quickly, now it's dark, although it is only a few miles away from Sumu City, but for the safety of the young lady, I have to guard against it. An old man who looked like a housekeeper suddenly turned around and urged Dahan, obviously slightly dissatisfied because Dahan and Zhang Yan accosted him.

The old man wore a gauze hat and a bright satin robe, and his face was white without a trace of wrinkles, but his eyes were slightly cloudy.

However, Zhang Yan's eyes were fixed, and he glanced at the other party's hands behind him, the old man's palms were white and slender, without a trace of calluses, and faintly ruddy.

Zhang Yan's heart tightened, and he immediately looked at this old man as an immortal cultivator, but it seemed that he used some treasure to hide his breath, and he couldn't see the cultivation.

The old man seemed to sense something, turned around in confusion, and looked at the young man behind him.

However, seeing that the other party had a silly smile on his face, he shook his head and turned around and continued to walk forward.

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the luxurious carriage not far in front of him, the carriage was made of good dark sulam wood, and the bead curtain was closed, so that he could not see the people inside.

But I think it should be the young lady in the old man's mouth.

The carriage was guarded by people with the same skills as Liu Mang.

However, he did not recklessly probe with his divine sense, only glanced at it and still followed the group.

The big man called Liu Mang saw that the old man turned around, reactivated, quietly walked sideways, walked with Zhang Yan, and said in a low voice: "That is the housekeeper Liu of the Liu Mansion in the lost Lan City of our Song Kingdom, I heard that he was once saved by our family master, in order to repay, he simply stayed in the Liu Mansion and became a housekeeper, and he has been here for more than ten years!"

"However, don't look at Steward Liu's stern appearance, in fact, he is cold and hot. Liu Mang sighed and continued, "The Liu Mansion has been well organized by Steward Liu for more than ten years, and Steward Liu has also taken good care of our brothers, so we never contradict his old man's words, and we are used to it, and to put it bluntly, everything is also for the sake of the Liu Mansion." ”

"Then brother, you have come all the way here, what is the so-called matter, the characters in the carriage seem to be very important?" Zhang Yan secretly remembered Liu Mang's words, and asked in a low voice of confusion.

"Inside the carriage is the third lady of our Liu Mansion, who is the most loved by the head of the family, as for the Yue Kingdom that rushed to this far away country this time, I am a guard of the Liu Mansion, it is not clear. ”

That Liu Mang seemed to have been holding back for a long time and hadn't spoken to anyone, seeing Zhang Yan listening, he simply kept talking, and he couldn't finish all kinds of interesting things.

Zhang Yan also listened with a smile, the road of these miles is not far or close, and it is pleasant to listen to all kinds of interesting stories.

And in the midst of Liu Mang's endless words, Su Mucheng was already looking up.

The city is made of a special rock of dark black, and it seems to be covered with suzuma, which looks dazzlingly black.

The biggest feature of this city is that there are no city walls, and the magnificent city is surrounded by rows of surac trees, leaving only gaps in four directions as the first entry.

Zhang Yan looked around in surprise, as if a hillbilly had entered the city.

The people around the carriage, seeing that Liu Mang and Zhang Yan could talk like this, had already accepted this honest young man, and the old man didn't care about the extra Zhang Yan.

Now when several other big men saw Zhang Yan's appearance, a sense of superiority that they could do things in the city immediately surged over, and they all showed a slight look of pride, showing that they had all seen the world.

Zhang Yan didn't care, these were some bold and scheming men, much simpler than many people.

After entering the city, Zhang Yan and Liu Mang exchanged a few words, then said goodbye and separated, and watched the carriage drive into the center of the city, Zhang Yan walked in another direction.

Sumu City, the flow of people, the storefronts are in rows, the inns and wine shops, there are countless people, the lights are red and the wine is drunk, and there are many humanistic guests, and the red sleeves add fragrance.

Everything is prosperous.

Zhang Yan looked at all this, slightly confused.

But after a moment, he immediately came back to his senses, took out the token in the storage bag, groaned for a while, and walked towards a relatively high-end restaurant, anyway, there was gold and silver in Chen Ba's storage bag, and he was not afraid of not having money to pay.

Zhang Yan walked up to the third floor, sat down by a window, looked at the street below, and ordered a few dishes.

"Little Er, can you tell me about the situation in Sumu City?"

Xiao Er, who was originally in the restaurant, saw Zhang Yan's poor and sour appearance, and was ready to drive people away, but after seeing Zhang Yan throw out a large ingot of silver, he immediately changed his flattering smile, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: " Objectively, this Sumu City, originally just a remote small city, unexpectedly a hundred years ago, was found here a large number of Sumu has an extraordinary effect, whether it is used for the manufacture of military weapons or urban construction, it is a good material, with the continuous export of Sumu, Sumu City has slowly developed, and the business here is becoming more and more popular year by year. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Then have you heard that there are immortals who accept apprentices, or the Immortal Mountain Sect that accepts apprentices?"

"I've never heard of any immortals coming to our mortal place to take in disciples. And it is not known whether there are really immortals. ”

The little second shook his head blankly at first, and then seemed to recall something, and said in surprise: "That's right, but I heard the old master in the city say that every ten years, there will be immortals who come down to earth to kill the fierce beasts that run out of the mountain range in the east of the city and scourge the nearby towns, and every ten years there will be a long thunder and lightning in the east. ”

After listening to Xiao Er's narration, Zhang Yan frowned and groaned, unable to figure it out, so he directly waved his hand to let Xiao Er retreat, Xiao Er happily picked up the big ingot of silver, turned around and retreated.

"Where does this ancient sword gate accept apprentices, it is impossible for me to find its mountain gate, as for the old man, for the sake of safety, I can't ask the other party directly. Zhang Yan's face was full of depression, secretly thinking that he hadn't had time to ask Chen Ba about the acceptance of apprentices from the Ancient Sword Sect before, but now it would be difficult to do.

In the midst of Zhang Yan's distress, a young man in a light blue robe walked up to the restaurant, and happened to sit at a table next to Zhang Yan.

The young man just asked for a cup of tea and sipped it gently, but after two sips, he seemed to feel that it didn't fit his mouth, frowned slightly, and simply put it down.

Zhang Yan didn't care, still looking at the bustling street below.

But after a while, another man came up from downstairs, and it was a young monk in a robe.

The young monk looked like a virtuous and elegant appearance, with a bald head and a warm face, and gently walked to the young man in a light blue robe, and then said in a serious voice: "Amitabha, donor, your seal hall is black, your eyes are godless, you will definitely be unlucky today, everything will not go well, there will be a disaster of blood and light." ”

"Instinctive Daoist, don't make fun of me, sit down quickly. The young man in the light blue robe looked pale for a while, and shook his head, as if he had a headache for the appearance of this monk.

"Ha Lu Ha, life is very boring, if all the time is still like the regular Buddha mind, then the Buddha is not a Buddha, so to maintain a free state, is the superior Dharma. ”

The monk who originally looked solemn, when he heard the words of the young man opposite, immediately changed his appearance, like a child of a secular family, lifted his robe, sat down with Erlang's legs, waved his hand and called Xiao Er to serve a pot of wine, and the two immediately drank each other.

Zhang Yan paid a slight attention to the two just now, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but smile lightly on his face, this monk is very interesting.

However, the next moment, Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, because under his attention at the moment, he found that this light blue youth and this bald monk were actually immortal cultivators.

The cultivation of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period fluctuated slightly, and the people in the entire restaurant did not notice it, but he could sense it clearly without releasing his divine sense.

Zhang Yan was overjoyed and listened to the conversation between the two quietly.

"Is the sixth here?" the pale blue youth asked in a low voice.

"The sixth is in the inn in the north of the city, but the disgusting guy of the imperial insect hasn't come yet, and the boss of the thousand changes hasn't seen it, it may have to wait until the second day, this time the ancient sword sect recruits apprentices, it should be lively, and we have a much better chance, hehe." The young monk, who was called instinct, laughed and groaned.

When Zhang Yan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, this was a good opportunity to inquire about the place where the Ancient Sword Sect accepted disciples.

Soon after, the light blue youth and the young monk got out of the restaurant, and Zhang Yan watched the two go down, and then got up and followed behind.

The two people in front of them walked around and walked in the alleys of the city, and Zhang Yan was not afraid of losing them, his consciousness was released, and he kept a distance from the two of them.

But just as he turned an alley, he suddenly lost the whereabouts of the two people.

Zhang Yan was startled and flew forward.

But as soon as he turned the corner of the alley, he saw the young man in the light blue robe and the young monk standing at the end of the alley, looking at him coldly, his face gloomy.

"I don't know what this little fellow Daoist is following us for?" said the young man in light blue clothes.
