Chapter 673 Rock Dragon (1)
Every now and then, I saw a cultivator walking by from a distance, observing around, as if watching something. An Xiaoyu continued shopping with her family quietly. Xiaoan seemed to feel some different things, and looked at An Xiaoyu, but saw An Xiaoyu just shook her head.
Secretly Ao Yu did not choose to care about this matter in the end. As Dongyun's body cultivation incident broke out, various situations would occur across the country. Whether it was a body cultivation or a martial arts cultivation, people who had once lie dormant in the dark would choose to come out of the darkness and make a future for their own genre.
Among these schools, there are good schools and of course bad schools. Some people will disappear if they appear, and some people will rise. Some people will decline if they rise. The reason why the world is stable is that no matter how it develops, the world will always maintain a strong self-regulation ability.
The emergence and improvement of mechas indicate that the self-regulation ability of the empire society has begun to reach its peak. When facing changes in the world of cultivators, the empire no longer can only use the intervention of the internal power of cultivators, but has the ability to regulate independently.
That is why the empire is at ease with the opening of the great world of cultivation, and An Xiaoyu doesn't have to do everything by herself. She is just a stepping stone for the great world of cultivation. The stepping stone is a stepping stone. Whether this brick is completely broken after knocking on the door, or the shell becomes a beautiful jade after it is broken, it has nothing to do with the world inside the door.
An Xiaoyu was even more willing to stand in the position of a controller and watch the new changes in the world. She believed that the empire must have been prepared. After all, the Oracle Academy had already been dispatched, and An Xiaoyu did not believe that the local garrison and the Laoshan Ginseng Mecha Army had not received any news.
So this time, An Xiaoyu became a leisurely tourist. After dinner in the evening, he went back to the hotel and slept well. He didn't ask anything or report it. The next morning, he went directly to the tour group meeting place with his family.
Their meeting was a small square near the volcanic rock terrain at the edge of Chanshan City. Several cars were parked in groups of three or two, and it was probably also in some other tour groups. The area around Chanshan Mountain is very large, and many tour groups can choose different routes after entering to avoid overlapping conditions.
An Xiaoyu had seen this tour guide for the tour group on the information. She was a girl with a little bit of cultivation. She looked like she was in her twenties, full of youth and very enthusiastic. Her surname was Liu, and she was at the peak of her body. Everyone called her Xiao Liu tour guide.
There were also two team members sent by Xiao Liu's tour guide company headquarters. To be honest, they were bodyguards. They were all wearing weapons. An Xiaoyu could feel the aura on them. One was a bodybuilder and the other was a martial arts cultivation level. He was in his thirties, and one was a young master and one was at the peak of his body sacrifice. There was probably no hope for promotion, so he sold his body to make some money for the travel company.
Of course, An Xiaoyu was not interested in their life experience and origin. An He's information marked the eight generations of ancestors of these three people, and it was only a matter of writing a family tree. None of these three people had any problems. The most important thing was the family that came in later like An Xiaoyu and the others.
An He said that this family was sent to the lineup by the provincial relations. After the matter of Dongyun Provincial Capital, An Xiaoyu began to have a clearer understanding of local administrative agencies and knew that such places were different from emperors.
After all, the imperial capital is still the administrative center of the entire empire. No matter what big or small matters, the biggest big bosses have the final say. Because these big bosses occupy the top of the highest interests of the entire empire, no matter what they do, they will consider the impact on the entire empire, so no matter whether it is the means or the methods, they will not be too excessive.
What's more, the Supervision Department is right next to the pillow.
But local areas are different, and the power differentiation in each province seems to be more complicated. Whether it is aristocratic families, consortiums, practitioners, underground gangs, court cabinets or military commissions, over the long period of evolution, unique interest chain distributions in various places have begun to emerge.
If you don’t know how the entire province is operating and who rashly provokes, it will obviously cause trouble. Just like when you provoke a consortium in Dongyun, for the sake of face, An Xiaoyu and the consortium fought to the death, and then left a mess, and are still fighting in chaos.
So when I saw that the family was all self-cultivated, An Xiaoyu did not express the doubts in her heart, but pretended not to know anything, and acted like an ordinary person traveling here, and secretly observed each other with the family and gave up.
An He did not investigate the details of the family, and could only get the most basic information from the tour group. It is estimated that the other party had also investigated the information of An Xiaoyu and his family. After all, they were all people who came in line. It is normal for people with identities to be wary of it. However, An Xiaoyu estimated that with An He's ability to do things and the degree of confidentiality of the empire, they did not get any information, and they didn't even get their names.
So when looking at An Xiaoyu, the man named Zuoan couldn't help but look at An Xiaoyu and the others more. As a result, when they heard their accent, they found that they were from the East Wilderness, which made him even more strange. A group of people from the East Wilderness could not even investigate him in the territory of Tianchi Province?
Maybe she had the same idea as An Xiaoyu, and the two families kept away from each other. Instead, the little girl was more interested in Xiao An. It is normal for a girl of this age to be interested in male childbirth, not to mention that Xiao An is not bad, and she looks cute with a stupid head.
However, Xiao An was not interested in the little girl. An Xiaoyu found that Xiao An seemed not very interested in girls of the same age, and she didn't know whether it was because she was always taken care of by herself or because of Zhonghuaran.
When An Xiaoyu thought of Zhonghuaran, she wanted to laugh. Yesterday, Xu Hewei sent a message to say that Zhonghuaran, the woman, actually followed Xu Hewei's clues to Jinshan City, and then posted on the street with Xu Heru. The two had an armed fight on the street and were now detained for a week.
An Xiaoyu really doesn't know what attitude he should face someone like Zhonghuaran, so he is still waiting and watching.
After introducing himself and two bodyguards, tour guide Xiao Liu quickly sent a booklet to their hands, and then said: "This is our itinerary this time. Although we can quickly reach the foot of Chanshan Mountain by taking a levitation car, how can we not experience the volcanic rock hiking when we arrive at Chanshan Mountain! Chanshan’s volcanic rock terrain is unique and rich in minerals, which is rich in..."
Tour guide Xiao Liu talked about the benefits of hiking through volcanic rocks, mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and then led the team smoothly. It seems that tour guide Xiao Liu is an experienced person, no wonder An He would choose such a team.
While on the way, tour guide Xiao Liu was very talkative and told them various legends about Chanshan Mountain. There were many sinkholes and strange rock structures within the volcanic rock area. Tour guide Xiao Liu also introduced them one by one, and everyone listened with relish, including An Xiaoyu himself.
The volcanic rock terrain is complex, and rifts, deep pits and sinking structures often appear. However, tour guide Xiao Liu has long been familiar with this travel route, and is well aware of every obstacle on the road. He takes them around one high-risk area after another and slowly moves towards Chanshan Mountain.
The journey from Chanshan City to the foot of Chanshan Mountain is about 300 miles. Although the physical fitness of the imperial citizens is very good, it is not realistic to cross three hundred miles a day. The travel company's car first sent them to a place deep in the volcanic rock land before they allowed them to move forward.
But even so, according to the itinerary arranged by the tour guide, some people still couldn't hold on. After walking for a long time, the first thing they couldn't hold on was the little boy who was originally in the travel team. The boy's name was Gan Ting, which sounded a bit sissy.
The little boy looks very signature and looks like he is spoiled, but judging from his parents' attitude, it doesn't look like he is spoiled at his own home. The information also states that the parents are very busy and are busy making money in normal times. The elderly are in charge of the family and children.
After lunch, Gan Ting couldn't lift his legs and kept saying that he was so tired, and then Mr. Gan was unhappy. There were two other children in the team who were about the same age as you, but you couldn't stand it? Isn't this embarrassing me?
So Mr. Gan said with a cold face: "You can't walk for just a few roads? When I was just as old as you, I went out to find relatives alone with a big bag. I ate so much hardship. Sometimes I didn't even have to eat, and I never said I was tired!"
Mrs. Gan felt sorry for the child and pushed Mr. Gan and said, "Just say less. Usually, the child goes to school in school, so there is no time to participate in exercise. If you are tired, you will be tired. What should you do if you are tired?"
At this time, the elite tour guide Liu came forward and said to Mr. Gan: "Actually, this is normal. The tour itinerary we said was three to six days, because we considered this situation. In fact, many adults came with a group, but it was better than this little brother for a long time! Generally, if there are too many people who feel tired, we will slow down. If there are fewer people, our team will also bring portable bicycles."
Speaking of this, a report at the back took out a white folding bicycle from the travel bag behind him and placed it on the ground and opened it. Tour guide Xiao Liu smiled and said, "It's pretty good that my little brother can stick to this place. I want to give this bicycle to him, and no one will have any objections, right?"
The people watching the fun next to him nodded quickly and said no objection. Although several people who felt very tired were envious of watching, they had no way to compete with a child, so they had to suppress the restlessness in their hearts and tell themselves that they could still hold on.
When Gan Ting saw the bicycle, he was a little nervous, but his eyes were obviously excited. He knew his son better than his father. Although Mr. Gan had not disciplined Gan Ting much, he could tell Gan Ting's happiness at a glance. He taught him a lesson again: "Exercise me well after going back this time! Look at him, he is about the same age as you, and he is not breathless."
At this time, Zuoan couldn't help laughing: "Brother, don't talk like this. Our family is a cultivator. My daughter has been following us since she was a child and she has been accustomed to running around. It is normal for her to be stronger than the physical strength. The little brothers over there seem to be from Donghuang? The living conditions in Donghuang are not very good, and it is normal for them to be stronger than ordinary people."
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao An nodded repeatedly, looking at Gan Ting's aggrieved look, he was also a little reluctant.
Then Mr. Gan glared at Gan Ting fiercely, and then said, "When I go back, I will find you a practice hall to register for study!"
Although the practice hall is a physical practice, which is different from what Zuoan said, Zuoan didn't care. He just laughed twice, looked at Mr. Gan and nodded, and then nodded again. Instead, after this incident, the three children couldn't help but look at each other.
An Xiaoyu was funny and reached out to push Xiao An, saying, "If you want to go, go!"
Xiao An then grimaced, and then ran to Gan Ting's side. The two of them quickly got into a group, whispering and laughing happily. Mr. Gan's face also looked much better and returned to normal. The daughter of the left bank looked at Xiao An and was a little moved, but she didn't know if it was because she was a girl or because of the tutor.
An Xiaoyu didn't care. This man named Zuoban was obviously a physical practitioner with a low level of cultivation. Even if he wanted to do something, he would probably not be able to make any mistakes. The couple of the Zuo family seemed to be just a practitioner who had just broken through to the realm of ancestor worship. The little girl named Zuomei had just had her body worship.
The best practice behavior for practitioners to start practicing at the age of sixteen to eighteen. It seems that this little girl has been practicing for about the same time as Xiao An. She cannot use the power of the law in the early stage of her body sacrifice. If she really wants to start, Xiao An is simply crushing and there is no need to worry at all.
What's more, Xiao An has been deceived by a woman once, so she will definitely be deceived for the second time. This little guy is very smart!
After half an hour of rest, the tour group continued to move forward. Gan Ting sat on the bicycle, but Xiao An walked beside him without coming back. So An Xiaoyu and his family naturally got closer to the two members of the Gan family, and occasionally chatted for a few days.
Mr. Gan is a businessman. When he speaks, he cannot do without economy and finance. However, in some aspects, he has unique insights. Most of the things An Xiaoyu's parents and grandfather said were things in the East Wilderness, and others were also very curious about this forbidden area, so they were still happy to talk.
But as time goes by, some people gradually began to fall into a state of fatigue. Several people with poor health began to pant and sweat continued to flow down their heads. Someone suggested: "Tourist Guide Xiao Liu, why don't we slow down a little?"
Tour guide Xiao Liu thought for a while and persuaded: "If we keep moving forward at this speed, we can reach the foot of Chanshan Mountain before dark. There is a service station dedicated to providing rest services at the foot of Chanshan Mountain. The people at the headquarters are also preparing everything there to wait for us to arrive. But if we slow down now, we can't help but reach the foot of the mountain at night, and we have to spend the night in places we have not expected. Although this place is safe, I heard it is not peaceful recently..."
"I understand! I understand!" The person who proposed to slow down immediately thought of something and said quickly, so no one in the team had ever mentioned the need to rest.
Gan Ting looked at Xiao An walking steadily next to him with a big backpack on his back, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao An, are you tired? Why don't you come up and I'll go down and walk for a while?"
An Xiaoan didn't care: "No, no, I'm not tired at all. The east desert is full of sand, and it's much harder to walk than the stone land here. I walk several miles by myself every day to go to school in the nearby tribe. This distance is a little bit of for me."
When facing outsiders, Xiao An once again showed his talent as an actor, followed An Xiaoyu's instructions to hide his cultivation, and attributed everything to his growing up in the East Wilderness. The people outside didn't know much about the people in the East Wilderness, so Gan Ting believed it.
Mr. Gan was a person who suffered hardships when he was young. After hearing Xiao An's words, he couldn't help but appreciate it and said, "It will be beneficial to the future when I was a child. No wonder everyone says that the compatriots in the East Huang have a tough personality. It seems that there is no reason. Xiao An's academic performance is not bad, right?"
Xiao An's eyes rolled and he said vaguely: "It's okay! Hehe!"
Mr. Gan knew that Xiao An didn't want to say much, but he also heard Xiao An's compliment, so he praised again: "You can be able to do it and endure hardships. You will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future!"
"Thank you for your good words!" Xiao An bowed seriously, making everyone laugh.
Xiao An's score is too shocking. If you say that he is the top scorer in the Eastern Wilderness exam this year, someone will inevitably investigate An Xiao An's identity, and then you will know who the girl in white who has never spoken has been, and it is inevitable that there will be some troubles.
An Xiaoyu watched Xiao An argue with them and smiled slightly.
The night in the north comes very quickly, at least much faster than the imperial capital and the Eastern Wilderness. At about five o'clock in the evening, the darkness in the sky began to slowly overwhelm. The sun disappeared on the horizon, and the rocks in the distance disappeared from the sunset and became dark and weird.
At this time, someone in the team suddenly stepped into a pit and sprained his ankle. In the envious eyes of many people, he occupied another folding bicycle. Tour guide Xiao Liu shouted: "Everyone work harder! After walking for another half an hour, we will be able to reach the rest station! There are fresh ingredients there! There are also natural hot springs waiting for us! Come on! Come on!"
The people in the team seemed to be inspired and accelerated a little. But suddenly, whether it was An Xiaoyu, Zuoan, or tour guide Xiao Liu, his eyes suddenly changed.
Chapter completed!
