Chapter 44 Middle-aged man(1/2)
I always thought that when they went to Wenling Wu Mansion this time, they carried the glory of Lingxi on their shoulders. Even if City Master Sun didn't arrange for all the disciples to see them off, he should prepare everything for them.
But seeing that they only had the strength of a horse, no one knew what to say. It seemed that they were going to have to walk to Wenling Mountain.
"Everyone throw away things that are not needed for the time being and travel lightly," Zuchuan said.
From this moment on, he is the captain of this six-man team, and he needs to make decisions on everything.
"Why is my grandpa like this? How about I go find some more horses? I can ride a horse even if I don't take a car."
"Sun Lin, don't you understand what I'm saying? If you can't do it, go back now. You haven't set off yet anyway."
"Tch!" Sun Lin sneered disdainfully.
Even if he didn't bring useless things, the six people's belongings still made the horse full of baggage.
After leaving the east gate and bypassing Mengliang Mountain, there is only one road leading to Wenling Mountain.
Everyone still has an impression of this road, so it is considered a familiar road. Except for a delay at the Mojia paddock along the way, we spent the rest of the time on the road.
Pang Hui said, "Nothing will happen to us if we do this, right? Since the Wu Mansion has arranged for us to walk, they must have their plans, but isn't it against the rules for us to do this now?"
"What are you talking about?" Sun Lin said, "They didn't let us ride horses, but we did it. You two must remember that these blood-striped cattle are hunted by ourselves, and no one can control them."
The two new children will definitely need time to get used to them. It is understandable that I still cannot fully understand their style of doing things.
This road is 600 miles long. Fortunately, the terrain ahead is gentle. On such a road, a blood-striped ox can run faster than a unicorn.
But it won't work in the second half of the journey. Blood-striped cattle are actually wild beasts that live in the mountains, but those raised in captivity by the Mohists are not included.
Seeing that everyone was covered in dust, Zu Chuan said, "Everyone, take a rest. Pang Hui and Lu Ming will check the area to see if there is anything abnormal. You three girls, hurry up and get something to eat. We will only stay for half an hour."
.”
They had agreed before setting off that they must reach the outskirts of the Wenling Mountains before dark, so no one had any objections.
This is still a plain area, and if you go further, you have to rely on your feet. Time is tight, so they can only take a brief rest before they set off again.
After practicing martial arts, one's strength and strength will increase, and one's reaction and speed will be significantly improved. So even if they walked on foot, they still reached their destination before dark.
This is the place where the last martial arts trial was held. There are still wooden houses built by martial arts disciples when they were bored. It is now their shelter at night. But after tomorrow, they can only rely on luck when they rest at night.
.
According to City Lord Sun's estimation, it would take them at least a month to reach the location of Wenling Wu Mansion.
There were almost vast mountains along the way, so the risks were needless to say, and they were all mentally prepared. Perhaps martial arts practitioners are born with an adventurous heart, so they didn't feel scared at all.
The weather today is not good. The sky is overcast and there is no starlight. It is hot and humid in the mountains. Naturally, people will not be in a good mood in this environment.
Although they are all the best in the bone-building realm, they still can't protect themselves from the cold and heat. They were all very tired today, but in the end they couldn't sleep and stared at each other.
Can you two say it will rain soon?"
"She should know how to do it. Xiaochuan has liked to follow hunters into the mountains since he was a child, so he knows a lot about these things." Wenxiu said.
Sun Lin asked doubtfully, "Then he really knows a lot. No wonder grandpa asked him to lead the team."
"Of course, Xiaochuan has been smart since he was a child."
Xiao Qi said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you keep talking about him? He has quarreled with me several times today. I don't even like him anymore."
"Who made you so stupid? You should be more careful in the future." "I can't sleep anyway, why don't we go see what he is doing? I can't tell where he is lazy."
"good."
Zuchuan is setting up a trap. Now that we have entered the mountain, this kind of thing is indispensable.
With the help of the three of them, the surrounding areas with the beast marks will soon be covered with traps.
"Xiaochuan, there should be wild beasts here. With our strength, are we still afraid of them?"
"Of course wild beasts will not hurt us, but what if there is a ferocious beast? Never take this for granted. Or what if there is someone?"
"No, there will be someone else?" Sun Lin was startled.
Wenxiu said, "Why is there no one? Have you forgotten what my grandma said when you went home with us yesterday?"
"Yes, I forgot. Even members of your five major families have entered the mountain, let alone other warriors."
Zu Chuan said, "What are you doing here if you don't want to sleep?"
Xiaoqi blinked and said, "I can't sleep! I just want to talk to you."
"Seventh sister, since you can't sleep, I'll leave the task of keeping watch in the middle of the night to you."
"Then I'd better go to bed, I don't want to stay awake all night."
Seeing Xiao Qi running away, Zu Chuan asked, "Lin Lin, the sneak attack on me failed yesterday, do you want us to have a fight in front of you? Don't worry, I definitely can't spank you."
"You, you stinking hooligan." Sun Lin turned around and ran away.
Wenxiu said, "Xiaochuan, why did you drive them away?"
"Xiuxiu, I want to see that stone." Zu Chuan pointed to the diamond-shaped stone around Wenxiu's waist and said.
"Look at what it's doing, it's of no use to you."
Although Wenxiu said this, she still took off the stone and handed it to him.
"Xiuxiu, why do you wear it every day? Is there anything special about it?"
"No, there's nothing special about it. I just wear it because it looks good. Don't talk nonsense." Wenxiu retorted with her face suddenly turning red.
Looking at her appearance, could it be really useful to her? If so, it would be difficult to handle.
"Xiaochuan, do you want this stone? If you want it, just take it away. It's of no use anyway."
"Really?" Zu Chuan asked in surprise.
"Oh, I'll give it to you anyway, I'm going to bed."
Zu Chuan looked at Wenxiu's back and felt baffled as to why he felt so happy.
But I didn't think much about it. The question now is how to hand it to the little stone. It can't be eaten. Besides, he can't bite it.
"Hey, there is such a pure spiritual crystal."
"Who?" Zu Chuan was startled. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly spoke next to him in the mountains. He was the bravest one, while Xiao Qi would have fainted from shock.
"Why are you nervous? Let me see the spiritual crystal in your hand."
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe suddenly appeared in front of him, reached out and took away the stone.
"Who are you?" Zuchuan suppressed his fear and wanted to become less nervous.
"It's perfect. I didn't expect that in such a barren land, such a good thing could still be preserved. However, the spirituality inside is losing. It must be used as soon as possible, otherwise it will soon become a useless stone."
The middle-aged man did not answer his words, but returned the stone to him and gave him some instructions.
"Uncle, how do you use this thing?"
"So you don't know how to use it, so what are you and this little girl doing here?"
Zu Chuan was speechless. It couldn't be said that he didn't use it. It was all Xiao Shitou's fault. He was usually so active, but today he didn't react at all.
"I just look pretty. Besides, she's of no use. It's not a waste to give it to me."
"That's right, for you now, this kind of thing can only promote your development, but it's really useless for anything else."
"Then how should I absorb this?"
The middle-aged man said regretfully, "It's a pity that you didn't break through the Yun Qi realm, otherwise you could use your energy to guide it. Now you can only wear it on your body and use your blood energy to slowly absorb it."
"Is there no other good way?" Zuchuan asked unwillingly.
"Boy, since you keep asking me questions, shouldn't you also answer a few of my questions?"
Zu Chuan said, "Okay! But uncle, you can't ask about our secrets. If it involves secrets, I won't answer."
"I don't care about your secrets either." The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "Let me ask you, what was the name of that girl just now?"
"Which one? There were three just now."
"This is the girl who gave you the spiritual crystal."
"Why are you asking her?" Zuchuan asked warily.
"Don't think too much about it, brat. I just think she's pretty good and want her to become my teacher."
"That won't work. The bone-strengthening technique she practices in Lingxi is worse than my gold-stone bone-strengthening technique. Can you teach her any magical skills? Besides, she has a master."
"I can't teach her?" the middle-aged man laughed angrily, "I can't even tell you..., forget it, tell me. Just tell me how strong she is now, and see if I can do anything.
Let her go one step further."
"That's easy to say." Zuchuan said with a smile, "Xiuxiu is currently strong at 6,500 kilograms. When she reaches full strength, she will definitely be able to increase her weight to another 500 kilograms. I wonder what you can teach her?"
"Ah, so her name is Wen Xiuxiu? Or Wen Xiu, that's a pretty good name."
The middle-aged man said that something suddenly felt wrong here and asked, "You said she has 6,500 kilograms of strength now. How is that possible? Could it be that she has practiced the Great Sage Illustration?"
This time it was Zu Chuan who was surprised and said, "It seems that you are also a person, and you actually know our Great Sage's catalog. Could it be that you are the son of the city lord, Sun Lin's father?"
"Go away, I don't even recognize him as my son. Are you saying that it is difficult to know the Great Sage's catalog? There is a copy in the four mountains, why can't I know. Also, is what you said true? Xiuxiu really has one now.
