Driving a carriage and walking on the mountain road, it started to rain.
Zuo Yuanchen turned around and said to the brother and sister in the carriage: "Master Ling, let's rest here to take shelter from the rain and wait for my brother to come on the way."
Seeing that Ling Ruohan was still sleeping soundly and Zuo Yuanchen was still injured, Ling Tian also wanted to stop and take a rest when he thought that he had not had a bite of hot rice on the way.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a ruined temple in the forest.
However, what is surprising is that someone has already lit a fire here to keep warm, and it seems that they are also seeking shelter from the rain.
Ling Tian noticed at a glance that they were all Qi Refining Stage practitioners and there was nothing to fear.
Seeing Ling Tian and the others coming in, the people in the ruined temple all turned their eyes to them, and at the same time they picked up their weapons to defend themselves, with some evil intentions.
Anyone can see from this posture that others are not welcome to share this unclaimed land.
However, Ling Tian would not pay attention, and strode forward, leading Zuo Yuanchen to a corner away from their eyes, took out the prepared bedding, sat down, and started to light a fire to cook.
This group of people originally had the intention of intimidating them, but when they saw Ling Tiantian calmly stepping into the door, they did not dare to act rashly.
They are all cultivators walking in the wild. If they attack rashly without knowing the opponent's strength, the consequences will be extremely tragic.
In this way, Ling Tian was left alone in a corner, and the two parties were at peace with each other.
Gradually, the group of people also dropped their guard and began to whisper and talk in low voices.
As for Ling Tian, whose ears and eyes were sharp and whose five senses were not comparable to those of ordinary people, he naturally heard what these people were saying.
One of the tall and muscular men said, "Brothers, have you heard that the road to the imperial capital is not peaceful recently?"
A lean man opposite him immediately became interested, "What should I say? There are only two roads from Qingzhou Mansion to the Imperial Capital. Which road is not smooth?"
The road is not smooth?
One of the waterways was the Xiang'an River, and the other was the official road. Lingtian's destination was also the imperial capital, so he was naturally curious about which road was causing trouble.
"On the land route, at Hukou Pass, a batch of secret treasures dedicated to the royal family from Qingzhou were intercepted by Datong Trading Company."
The passers-by who were sitting together all took a deep breath. The movement was so loud that even Zuo Yuanchen subconsciously looked over.
The tall and strong man immediately winked at the people around him and said, "Keep your voices down. If my second brother and I hadn't intercepted the five boat tickets from the shopkeeper of Lingbao Pavilion when we committed the murder, and learned about it from his entourage, we might have met him by land.
Something strange happened."
Having said that, he continued with a lewd smile: "Besides, the shopkeeper of Lingbao Pavilion brought a lot of money to the imperial capital for purchasing. My brothers and I also spent money to go on the boat and have a good time."
The rest of them all admired the tall and strong man, who not only killed people but also bought goods, and was also lucky enough to find a ticket to the imperial capital.
You must know that the "Wannian Lun" ferry on the Xiang'an River is extremely comfortable and luxurious. It not only has enough food and wine, but also has everything you want as long as you have money.
The sounds of dogs and horses, wine pools and meat forests are all places of enjoyment that people in the world dream of.
Not to mention that only powerful people from all over the country can board this ferry to the imperial capital. If you can make some business connections or train with masters, it will be a good opportunity to strengthen your own power!
The shopkeeper of Lingbao Pavilion didn't know how much thought and money he spent on trying to get rich and powerful, but he didn't expect that his death would make it easier for these villains.
Just when Ling Tian shook his head secretly and lamented the impermanence of things in the world, several figures flashed in outside the door.
The leader was wearing black clothes and black trousers, followed by seven or eight followers. As soon as he entered the door, he pointed his sword at the group of passers-by who were whispering.
"Wang Da, it turns out that you are hiding here. I must have intercepted a lot of treasures in the past few days. I will know better today and hand them over, and I will spare your life."
When the tall and strong man heard this, he immediately stood up and took out his weapon to confront him.
"Sun Yan, you are worthy of saying this! Who lives and who dies, please see the truth under your hands!"
In an instant, a group of people were fighting together.
Ling Tian observed clearly from the corner that Sun Yan's group was clearly well prepared and had the upper hand in terms of strength and numbers.
After several fights, the sound of weapons clashing was heard continuously, but it gradually subsided after a while.
A group of seven or eight people came and left three or four, but Wang Da and his party were all killed.
Sun Yan walked to Wang Da's body with a victor's smile. Just as he was about to look for the trophies, he spotted the three people standing in the corner out of the corner of his eye.
Carrying the sword, Sun Yan walked up to Ling Tian arrogantly and kicked him over the broth he had just poured out.
"Hey, there are still a few living people."
Ling Tian looked at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
Sun Yancai beheaded Wang Da and his entourage, and he was at the height of his glory. Unexpectedly, a young boy appeared out of nowhere and dared to shout at him. He immediately became furious and had murderous intentions.
"Today I will..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of sword light flashed by. Sun Yan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that he had been killed with one blow.
"You're not as good as the group of people just now. At least they know not to cause trouble."
The followers who followed Sun Yan were even more frightened, screamed and retreated, and fled in all directions.
Ling Tian comforted Ling Ruohan and Zuo Yuanchen, then walked to Wang Da and took a look.
He remembered that Sun Yan had not finished searching for the loot.
After rummaging around, I found several extremely exquisite iron sheets engraved with a giant ship.
There is also a circle of patterns printed on the iron piece, which is obviously the Liuyun emblem.
"It seems that this business is run by some royal family."
Ling Tian silently accepted the ticket. Since the land route was unsafe, there would be no problem with the "Ten Thousand Year Wheel" specially used for the powerful.
Afterwards, after packing up the supplies, Ling Tian hurried on his way. It was not advisable to stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time.
After traveling on the mountain road for half an hour, Zuo Yuanxiu was already catching up with him on his legs.
He was dressed in a raincoat and a bamboo hat, shaking off the rain with his true energy, feeling somewhat indescribably relaxed under the wind and rain.
When he saw Ling Tian, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, okay, I'll follow the mark and chase him. Just hope you're all right."
Ling Tian nodded and told Zuo Yuanxiu what he heard in the ruined temple. Both of them felt something.
Ling Tian said: "Brother Zuo, I am going to the imperial capital. It is a long journey, and I took my sister with me to avoid her hardship, so I decided to take a cruise ship and take the waterway."
At this time, Zuo Yuanxiu was also startled, and suddenly his face showed joy, "Master Ling is also going to the imperial capital? When I come back from training this time, I am also planning to take Yuan Chen to the imperial capital..."
Ling Tian knew that Zuo Yuanxiu was a very advanced person. He was young and the world was so vast that there were countless places he could go. However, the territory of the imperial capital was full of entangled forces and was not a good place for casual cultivators, so he was inevitably a little surprised.
"Brother Zuo went to the imperial capital, was someone recruiting him?" As a casual cultivator, relying on a force is also a good way out.
Hearing this, Zuo Yuanxiu shook his head, "I am over twenty, and my realm has reached the Mingso realm. If I fight alone again, it will be difficult to improve my cultivation. I have already received a letter of recommendation from a grandmaster and am preparing to go to the Imperial Palace."
They all take the Taixuan Academy exam, and if they rank well in the martial arts competition three years later, they can join the top sect... From now on, I won’t have to worry about training resources."
Ling Tian was stunned. He was originally from Beiyue City. Although he was a genius in his clan, he had only entered the eyes of the Xuanyun Sect. Now that he had seen a wider world, he inevitably had the ambition to reach the top.
Hearing the tempting condition of not having to worry about cultivation resources, Ling Ruohan also has the medicine refining materials he needs at his fingertips at his fingertips.
He even has a sect backing him.
Everything will be better established in Xuantian Domain, where martial arts is respected.
After thinking about everything, Ling Tian's eyes became intense.
"Then Brother Zuo, we can go together all the way to the imperial capital!"
The two hit it off immediately, took their tickets and prepared to head to the nearest ferry in Langhua Town, waiting to board the ship.
