558. Chance encounters
A few days later, in a small town not far from Fox Qi Mountain.
On the old bluestone mountain road, a man dressed in a blue and white robe and carrying a bronze ancient sword on his back.
I don't know when it rained in the sky, the light rain seemed to cast a light and faint veil on the whole town, I saw that the man came in the rain, only to see his face handsome, a pair of eyes plain and restrained, he didn't seem to put this drizzle in his eyes at all, this leisure, at first glance, really does not look like a peerless master of swordsmanship, but like a boy who secretly ran out to play in the mountains and rivers behind his back.
However, if there is a martial arts master here, he will find that every drop of rain, when it falls within a few feet in front of him, will be tossed aside by a strange and incomprehensible force, this power is by no means the true qi of ordinary masters, but a mysterious force that is more ethereal than the true qi, between the virtual and the real!
A breeze blew in, swept up a rain mist, and also blew down a large number of leaves beside the road, only to see the rain mist mixed with a large number of fallen leaves floating in front of the man, strange things appeared, only to see the rain next to the man, as if all turned into a sharp blade, all the leaves and one touched, immediately from the middle of the one, then divided into two!
The wind fell, and the man glanced at the ground, only to see that a few leaves on the ground had exploded into a piece of dust.
The young man shook his head and sighed, "It's still not enough to control it......"
Who would have thought that this person would use this rain to sharpen his control of sword intent! At this time, every drop of rain was actually controlled by his sword intent, turning into countless sharp swords circulating around his body. The slightest deviation from the sword will cut through one's body. No wonder he's so unhurried.
This person is Luo Fan, after he adjusts his injuries. I inquired all the way about the location of Qingyun Sect and Kongsang Mountain, but found that the people here barely knew a little about Qingyun, but they didn't know anything about Kongsang Mountain.
Not to mention places like the wilderness and the 100,000 mountains.
And this way around, there are few moments when he can cultivate, and he has just reached a new realm, which is like a high school student who finds that he has learned all the knowledge of high school after graduation, and after entering college, he immediately feels that he has become ignorant again.
Rovan, he could feel it clearly. There are still a lot of things that need to be made up, so even if his cultivation is already extremely good, he doesn't dare to slack off.
When he walked to the entrance of the town, he didn't hurry into the town to avoid the rain, but stopped and looked up: "Huxian Town?"
He shook his head and smiled lightly, and said to himself, "The villages and towns around here are really all related to foxes, and there are no exceptions. ”
Luo Fan looked at this misty and rainy town, and said to himself lightly: "Maybe this place is too remote, this seems to be the largest town near and far." If you still can't find out the news, Edgeworth will try your luck in a big city. ”
In the past, the world, whether it was the name of the place or the style of various places, could be used as a reference in the ancient landforms of China. And this place has almost nothing to do with the Chinese landform, and it is vast and sparsely populated, which can't help but give Luo Fan a headache.
Because of the rain. The town, which was already deserted by no passers-by, was even more deserted, and even the streets were filled with occasional people. It's also a hurried departure.
After crossing a street, Luo Fan stopped in front of a small inn called "Fox Fairy Inn".
Step into it. Luo Fan looked inside the inn, and saw that there were only two tables on the east side and the innermost table sparsely sitting with a few guests, who were a few people from the rivers and lakes who were drinking and boxing, and the other table was coarse linen clothes, dressed plainly, and seemed to be villagers here. But one of them still has a knife next to him, in this world where immortal cultivation is prevalent, most people can use both hands, and they are obviously also a good family.
There was a table a little further in the middle, but he was drinking alone, because the light in the inn was a little dark, and the other party had a shabby hat covering half of his face, so he couldn't see his appearance.
"Shopkeeper, come with a pot of good wine, a stack of beef, if you have any other good things here, give me a little too!" That's all there was to eat in ancient times, Luo Fan ordered something with his hand, and then took out a large silver ingot from the storage bag and slammed it on the table.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was napping on the counter, he suddenly heard the sound of silver smashing on the counter, and quickly shook his head and woke up, and saw such a big ingot of silver on the table, and then glanced at Luo Fan, and responded with a smile: "Okay!"
After saying that, he was about to walk inside, Luo Fan spoke: "Don't be busy first, let me ask you two questions first." ”
The shopkeeper was an old man in a brown cloth shirt, who heard Luo Fan's words, paused, looked at Luo Fan again, and said with a smile: "This son, the question can't be asked in vain, a question, a tael of silver." ”
Luo Fan was not angry, but said: "If you want silver, you must be able to answer." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Please tell me, there is no question that the old man can't answer in this radius of a hundred miles!"
Luo Fan nodded and then asked, "Then I'll pick up the simplest question first, does the shopkeeper know where Qingyun Mountain is?"
As soon as Luo Fan spoke, he saw that the man sitting at the innermost table suddenly lifted his hat up and glanced at Luo Fan.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled, and he said, "Qingyun Mountain, such a familiar name, let the old man think about it." ”
Luo Fan looked at him and scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, but still didn't answer, isn't the Qingyun Sect quite famous? Could it be that this old man doesn't know? Then he reminded: "Does the Qingyun Sect know?"
The old man's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It turned out to be Qingyun Sect, young man, you can ask the right person, this is a hundred miles away, except for me, no one can answer your question." ”
The old man patted his chest and said, "Speaking of this Qingyun Sect, it's far away! From here, he traveled a thousand miles east, entered the Central Plains, and walked hundreds of miles all the way to the north...... , Well, I found a city that was sunny at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. ”
"Hayang?"
"Yes, yes, yes...... It's Ha Yang. The old man nodded happily and said, "It's still a young man who has a good memory." ”
"It's a thousand miles away from the Central Plains, no wonder not many people know" Luo Fan's eyes flashed, he threw him a silver ingot, and asked tentatively: "What about the 100,000 mountains?"
See the silver. The old man smiled at this time, but Luo Fan's next question seemed to stop him.
"One hundred thousand...... Dashan?" The old man glanced at Luo Fan with a puzzled face. looked at the silver in Luo Fan's hand again, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see what he said, so he couldn't help but provoke Luo Fan to say a little impatiently: "Do you know?"
"Of course I know!" The old man looked at Luo Fan again, and saw that he was young and generous, and he didn't know which family's son he was, so he didn't think he had seen anything in the market, and he didn't even know the name of the place the other party asked. It was useless for the other party to ask anyone, and he said with a strange look: "For this question, I need to add a tael of silver." ”
Luo Fan didn't have any concept of silver, so he said indifferently: "Yes." ”
The shopkeeper smiled, and his heart was really stunned, and he hurriedly said, "I remember, there is a big mountain to the west of this place." It is called Huqi Mountain, and after crossing Huqi Mountain, and then walking thousands of miles to the west, it should be there. ”
"One hundred thousand mountains are behind Huqi Mountain?" Luo Fan glanced at the shopkeeper with some suspicion. Previously, Luo Fan felt that there was no problem in Qingyun Mountain, but how could these 100,000 mountains be behind Huqi Mountain? Luo Fan thought for a moment. Then he asked quietly, "Does the Incense Valley know?"
"Incense Valley?" the old man stared at Luo Fan again. He said, "It's easy. A thousand miles to the south, there is a deserted swamp, and if you look there, you will naturally find the place you are looking for. ”
"Hehe......" At this moment, a chuckle came from behind Luo Fan, and when he turned around, it was the man with the hat.
"Boy, what are you laughing at?" the shopkeeper asked when he saw the man laughing, glaring at him.
Luo Fan also arched his hand and asked, "Why is Brother Tai laughing?"
The man filled himself with a glass of wine, took a sip of it, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard that the 100,000 Great Mountain is in the west of Huqi Mountain, and you have to go north to Qingyun Mountain, and the Incense Valley is in the swamp. ”
"Boy, what do you know?" said the shopkeeper angrily.
I only heard the man say lightly: "First of all, the Qingyun Sect is in the Central Plains in Zhongtian, and the Burning Incense Valley is in the southwest, as for the 100,000 mountains, it is thousands of miles away from here.
"......" Luo Fan heard this, and then he realized that he had taken it for granted, this continent is extremely wide, and it is tens of thousands of miles from one place to another, not at all like before, hundreds of miles is already extremely far.
No wonder what Luo Fan heard from the shopkeeper just now was really not right, how could an ordinary person know about things thousands of miles away?
The shopkeeper's face turned cold, and he glared at the man in the hat and said, "Don't be nosy!"
The man in the hat said lightly, "What's the matter?
The shopkeeper made a color, and saw the men in the store stand up, one closed the door of the shop, and the other walked towards the man with a sneer.
Unexpectedly, they were not customers who came to drink, but thugs raised in the store!
"Oh, it seems that you have also encountered a black shop?" I saw him flick his fingers, and the wine in the cup suddenly jumped up on its own, and then turned into several wine swords, which instantly smashed into the chests of several people, and immediately smashed several bodies of more than 100 catties and flew out!
"Cultivator!?" The shopkeeper sat on the ground, he originally thought that the contacts were just a few ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that the other party's martial arts were really like the legendary cultivators!
He didn't bother to look at the shopkeeper who was already frightened, so he only glanced at Luo Fan lightly and asked, "Little brother, can you dare to ask what is your purpose in seeking the Qingyun Sect in the Burning Incense Valley?"
Luo Fan glanced at the other party and said quietly: "I just heard that the sects of Qingyun and Burning Incense are among the most famous sects in the world, and the 100,000 Mountains are notoriously dangerous.
Walking in the rivers and lakes, everyone only speaks three points, and Luo Fan has not yet figured out the identity of the other party, so this is half-true, but it is reasonable.
The man glanced at Luo Fan, he had never seen this person before, and he only thought that he was a stunned young man who had just come out of the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help laughing: "The little brother is heroic, but the 100,000 mountains are the places where all the demon beasts in the world live, and there are many dangers, even if the predecessors of the three major sects in the world enter it, they must be cautious and careful, if the little brother is willing to listen to me, I think it is better to dispel the idea of exploration for the time being, but the Qingyun Sect and the Incense Valley can be walked." ”
Luo Fan arched his hand and said, "Thank you friend for your advice, I have thanked this friend for today's matter, and I haven't asked my friend's name yet." ”
The man picked up the sword leaning on the edge of the table, stood up, and said with a faint smile: "It's just that the road is uneven and pulls out the sword to help, it's something that should be done, why bother to say thank you? My surname is Xiao, my name is good, just let me sell it first, I think we will meet again in the future." ”
Then he glared at the shopkeeper again and said, "If I see you doing these black-hearted things again in the future, I won't be able to spare you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" several people hurriedly nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.
"Is the 100,000 Mountains thousands of miles away from here, and what about those places in Death Ze?" Luo Fan thought about it, and was not in the mood to eat any more at the moment, so he left the inn.
Just after a few people left, I saw the shopkeeper and the few people lying on the ground look at each other, and only saw a trace of coldness in their eyes.
After a while, I saw a carrier pigeon fly out of the backyard of the inn, and flew high into the air through this misty rain curtain. (To be continued......)
