Chapter 3 Identity Issues(1/2)
The Solan Guards finally captured Lin Xiao.
The answer is obvious, of course I accepted it, and whether it was Phasa or Tuosang, I didn’t hesitate at all this time.
To put it bluntly, if fresh water is not that important to ordinary monks, to a caravan traveling long distances in the desert, it is more important than real money and silver.<
/p>
After all, you can make money if you lose it, but you can’t find it if your life is gone.
Of course, Lin Xiao did not disappoint the two guards. He took a few "water gathering charms" and refilled the caravan's water bag, which was less than half used.
Seeing this scene, several older men in the caravan exclaimed, "The true God is above". Even the rest of the people were amazed and exclaimed that it was incredible.
Things became simple after that. Ever since such a trick was revealed, even if Lin Xiao wanted to leave, no one would let him go. They even set aside a spare horse for him to ride on.
The reason is very simple. With such a "mobile water tank" following the team, who would worry about water shortage? Just drink when you are thirsty, drink when it is hot, stretch your legs, and hurry up.
Lin Xiao was still very satisfied with this result, but some details made him slightly distracted.
For example, the jade talismans and spells of the Five Elements Water attribute are extremely rare in the world of the "Traceless Sea". Even Pashan, who was at the peak of Qi refining, could not recognize the power of the remaining jade talismans in Lin Xiao's hands.
Moreover, the effect of using the water jade talisman here is obviously greatly reduced.
Perhaps the surrounding water aura is too thin, so things that could be solved with just a "Water Gathering Talisman" actually took several times longer to complete.
From this, Lin Xiao also speculated that it was probably because the effect of water spells was so poor that no one used them after many years, and the inheritance was finally completely discontinued.
After all, if you spend the same amount of real energy and the effect of your own spells is far inferior to others, who will continue to study and use it? It is better to change it and fix it early.
As for ordinary people who are already short of water?
Sorry, no matter where you are, the immortal world and the secular world are two different worlds.
As long as these "mud-legged people" can survive, no "noble person in heaven" will lower their head to look at them.
This has happened since ancient times.
After thinking about all this, Lin Xiao also secretly prepared a method. After filling the water bag, he used the excuse that his cultivation level was low, his spiritual sense was exhausted, and he would not take a good rest to recover. He really couldn't continue to do anything, so he avoided the matter.
.
This is not because he has a dark mind and deliberately takes the opportunity to take advantage of the other party.
But the principle of "every man is not guilty, but he who possesses a jade is guilty" is the same everywhere, and this is how human nature is.
In this caravan, I can still rely on my cultivation to suppress possible dangers.
If he were in another place, he wouldn't want to be caught, have his bones scraped and boiled in oil, forced to use all the water attributes skills, and finally wiped his neck with a knife.
Even Lin Xiao has already thought about it. As long as his goal is achieved, he will get away as soon as possible.
In the final analysis, the cultivation level of the first level of foundation building is really not enough to be seen in the immortal sect. This is the truth.
But now, there is no delay in him riding a pony and leisurely following the back of the entire team, chatting with people about the scenery of this place while keeping secret notes in his mind.
Even if you don’t understand the language, why are you still chatting with Lin Xiao?
It's simple. In the name of protecting the rear team, Pashan actually stayed with Lin Xiao and was responsible for keeping track of the "little tail", a rough man named Tuo Tuoze.
"It seems that I am on guard against others, and they are also on guard against me..." Lin Xiao unexpectedly thought as he flipped through an ancient scripture book in his hand.
It was the book that led Hua Zhongping to assassinate his sworn brother Liu Yunjian. The title of the book was "Qingluan Alchemy Book". I don't know which fairy mountain sect in the Chengkang Kingdom at that time came from the collection of alchemy prescriptions.
Now that it's in Lin Xiao's hands, it's natural to give it a thorough look first and then write it down.
At this time, I heard a harsh and illogical voice coming from next to me. "Brother Xu, why are you still reading while riding a horse? Are you afraid of hitting Qiu Zi?"
"People say that an old horse knows the road, but I just let go of the reins and the horse followed the camel team even half a step away. Why should I bother looking at the road?" Lin Xiao turned a page without looking up and said
Answered very slowly.
He was afraid that he would not be able to understand the other party if he spoke too quickly.
"Haha, that's right..." Tuotuo slapped his forehead, took out an unknown "fruit" from the bag around his waist, threw it into his mouth, chewed it loudly, and continued: "By the way,
Brother Xu is really from outside?"
Lin Xiao raised his brows and let out a long sigh. Fortunately, he closed the book of scriptures and looked at the dark-skinned man and said: "Brother Tuo... No, Brother Tuo, counting this time, it's less than an hour, so it's time to ask.
Five times...Yes, I am from outside, how can I be false?"
But what he was thinking about was that after three or five days, when I had learned all about the scenery and the language, he would immediately leave the team and change his appearance!
When someone mentions this matter again, it won’t be this answer.
"Already, have you asked me five times? Hehe..." Tuo Tuoze's dark face was a little red, although it was hard to see.
Lin Xiao sighed in his heart, thinking that with this dark man's "cleverness", he was really not suitable to be a spy...
I don’t know why Pashan chose such a guy to keep an eye on him.
In order not to dwell on the question "Where are you from?", Lin Xiao directly changed the topic and took the initiative to speak: "By the way, I just heard that the four areas governed by the Traceless Sea are called 'Furugahara'.
Where are the other three? Does Brother Tuotuo know?"
Tuotuo nodded his head. "Why don't you know? There are three more pieces, one is 'Black Sand Jedi', one is 'Biquan City', and the other is 'Zishaikou'..."
"Of course the number of people among them is Furukawa. There are a lot of caravans and guards who make a living and make a living here. The area is also the most vast. I heard that Furukawa is thousands of miles away to the south.
It must be another country. I’ve never been there, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xiao. "Brother Xu, isn't he from outside? What's it like outside?"
Lin Xiao was startled when he was asked, but his expression did not change and he continued to make nonsense: "I have not traveled thousands of miles to come here... As for what, green mountains and green waters, accessible waterways, what can Brother Tuotuo do?
Do you understand?"
Lin Xiao is actually talking about the Dufeng Kingdom and the boundary of Yinzhou.
But obviously, Tuo Tuoze, who has never seen the scenery outside the yellow sand, cannot imagine what these eight words are like...
I saw him frowning, as if he was racking his brains for a long time, and finally said in frustration: "I can't understand..."
Lin Xiao laughed. "Then don't think about it and tell me what you know."
"Yes!" Tuotuo seemed to agree and continued.
"Let me tell you what I know... Go northeast from Furukawahara, and next to it is the Black Sand Jedi. There are strong winds and quicksand all year round. No matter whether you are human or animal, you will die if you go in. There are basically no people there.
Break in."
"As for 'Furugahara', go all the way north. After passing 'Sweet Water Oasis City', you will reach the boundary of 'Biquan City'..."
Lin Xiao listened and took up the conversation and said: "The 'Biquan City' that brother Tuotuo mentioned is a city? It doesn't sound like it..."
Tuotuo thought about it for a while. "Brother Xu is right. There is no reason for cities to be connected. It is said to be 'Biquan City', but in fact it is the largest city in Wutang Sea. 'Biquan Fairy City' is connected with hundreds of surrounding cities."
The oasis is so big."
Lin Xiao's heart moved, this was finally showing some signs of the Immortal Sect, and then asked: "Listening to this name, it must be a city for immortal cultivators, right? Are there really immortals in it?"
"What a fart!"
Tuo Tuo cursed, as if he felt something was inappropriate, he shrank his neck and whispered: "Isn't it immortal? I heard the boss said that the Bird City Lord, if he can survive, he will be a peak Jindan, and he is still a few days away from being an immortal.
What about the distance to the ground..."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao was not surprised. If it were anywhere else, the monks in the lower realm would not respect the master Jindan very much, but at least they would not directly insult him behind his back. This is a bit abnormal.
Then he seemed to have something to say: "It seems that Brother Tuotuo is very dissatisfied with this city lord..."
"How can I still be satisfied with him?" Tuo Tuoze immediately raised his voice a little higher, "With that 'filling the hole order' of killing a thousand swords, I deserve to scold him."
"An order to fill holes?" Lin Xiao repeated.
Tuotuo seemed to understand that Lin Xiao, an "outsider", didn't understand this proverb at all, and immediately explained: "The original name of 'Filling the Hole' was 'Zi Sai Ling'. This is not a human monk, just like that pole."
Are those terrible monsters fighting at Zishaikou? The lord of Biquan Fairy City took this as his name and required all the monks in the Traceless Sea to register as immortals so that they could take turns in battle so that someone could fill in the number."
"Ah? There are still monsters here?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was surprised, and his mind was a little confused.
He never expected that a "monster" that he had not encountered in the past twenty years would now be encountered here!
Tuotuo, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xiao with a "what's weird" look on his face and said, "Is there anything else? I have been to the battle twice, once for ten years, with ten years in between. After the second time, it became ten years."
Five years, now counting it down, in another eleven or twelve years, I will have to go to the hob again, which is really unlucky..."
He spat directly.
Lin Xiao asked: "How long has this been going on? Does it mean that as long as people are alive, they have to be rotated and beaten all the time? Doesn't that make sense?"
"How long has it been beaten?" Tuotuo scratched his head, "I don't know, it must have been hundreds of years. Anyway, it was human blood mixed with demon blood that had long ago dyed the land black and purple.
Otherwise, why would we call it 'Zisaikou'?"
"It's not that it's always rotating. If so, wouldn't this group of monks have overthrown his city long ago?" Tuotuo said: "Either the cultivation level has reached the late stage of foundation building, or the person has been on the battlefield three times to survive. Except for these two
Except for others, they all need to be rotated."
"Three times?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but be speechless, thinking that the blade of a knife licks blood and fights with monsters, no matter how simple it is, it is still a battlefield. It is really not easy to survive three rotations.
"That's three times." Tuo Tuo looked at the leader of the team and said, "The boss of our guard, Pa, is a fierce man who fought three times and got rid of the 'hole-filling order'. Otherwise, 'Biquan Fairy City' will not allow the guard to be built casually."
