It took the four men with swords nearly three months to reach a place five thousand miles away from the capital.
It didn't take so long, but the last time Chu Zhao and Chu Yi left the capital, they took the teleportation array. They didn't know the way, so the four of them deviated slightly along the way and were delayed for a while.
Five thousand miles away from the capital, a foundation-building monk wearing a sergeant's uniform rose into the air on a flying sword and intercepted four people.
He first clasped his fists, and then said politely: "Please, everyone, the front is already a no-fly zone, you still need to land and walk."
Wu Qiu frowned, and the flight ban started five thousand miles away. The control in this capital was indeed strict.
At present, Xiaogushan is not qualified to ignore the rules of Xuanyuan Kingdom, so the four of them have to fall to the ground very cooperatively.
Below is a market town that covers an extremely large area. There are shops or inns that rent out riding animals everywhere. Horses are the most common among them, as well as various strange domesticated beasts. A large number of travelers choose their legs here.
Among these travelers, monks account for a large proportion, accounting for 30%. Most of them are in the Qi refining period. They come on large public flying magic weapons. After landing, most of them choose to rent horses. After arriving in the capital, they will exchange the deposit back in another market town.
.
After landing, the four of them began to change the spiritual energy fluctuations while others were not paying attention. Wu Qiu and Su Hao were in the late stage of foundation building, while Chu Zhao and Chu Yi were in the stage of perfecting Qi refining.
Wu Qiu looked around and rejected several guys soliciting business. He waved his hand and decided to walk over.
Su Hao naturally had no objection. Last time in the no-fly zone of Wan Yao Mountain, he and Dong Shang ran all the way without spending much energy, and the speed was much faster than horses.
Along the way, there is an endless stream of people coming and going on the official road, day and night. People on the road sometimes want to stop along the way, but they can't find a place to stay. There are always tired travelers resting on both sides of the road.
The four people did not run deliberately, but their pace was not slow. They covered more than two thousand miles in ten days. Occasionally, there would be traffic jams on the official road, so they would pass by the roadside, which was relaxing and comfortable.
Various incidents happen from time to time on the road, including encounters with enemies, roadblocks, robberies, and traffic accidents, all of which lead to disputes. People tend to resolve them on their own, often through fights, which are popular.
Whenever there is a battle, the four of them will stop and watch, and they will cheer when they see something exciting. Although it is not as good as their own drills, it is better because it is fresh and they watch it with gusto.
At night, I often hear people shouting to catch robbers. After a few short fights, a black shadow will disappear into the vast forest and disappear without a trace. Then there will be angry and aggrieved curses from the victim.
On the way to the capital, there were quite a lot of fireworks.
Because he was wary of Wu Qiu and Su Hao's foundation-building skills, he did not encounter any thieves who were blind. This made Chu Zhao quite disappointed. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to show his face in front of his master.
The thieves didn't come to the door, but someone else was eyeing them.
On the twelfth day, the four of them were meditating and resting. At this time, a middle-aged man with gray hair approached cautiously. He was afraid that the four of them would misunderstand, so he stopped at a distance and held his hands towards the four of them with a smile on his face.
Make a bow.
This was a wealthy family. Su Hao and others had seen him before. At that time, he commanded his servants to bury a nurse of his family with a sad look on his face.
It is said that the nursing home is a monk with four spiritual roots. By a great opportunity, he has reached the middle stage of Qi refining. It is not easy. Yesterday, for some unknown reason, he was attacked by someone and died of a puncture in the heart. The rich man and his family were unharmed, including the car.
No goods were lost.
The rich man has a wife who is just over 20 years old and has an extremely pretty appearance. The couple has a son and a daughter, both five or six years old.
There were also three cars, one carrying his wife and children, and the other two carrying all the belongings.
After the death of the nurse, an old woman was so frightened that she stole some silver and ran away. There were still two maids and two male servants left in the family.
Such a team running around in the Qingxuan world is like crab meat with its hard shell peeled off. It is very delicious. There is no need for professional thieves to come over. Others can make a guest appearance at any time.
There were several caravans with strong military force nearby, but their eyes looked a little strange now.
The middle-aged man did not dare to come over and talk to Wu Qiu and others at first. Although he did not know the strength of these four people, he knew that they were not easy to mess with, because some people who were obviously monks deliberately stayed away from the four people.
, showing awe.
He tried to find several caravans for protection, but they either refused, agreed too readily, and had bad intentions at first glance, or the price was too high for him to bear.
Some people even directly asked him to send his wife there for fun, which made him extremely ashamed and angry.
He didn't find the protector, but got a few more coveted looks, which made him grit his teeth and find the courage to find the four of them.
Wu Qiu asked him in a gentle tone: "Is there something wrong, sir?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Immortal, you are polite. My Majesty Wang Qian, may I ask if you, the immortal, are going to the capital?"
This is nonsense. The capital city of Xuanyuan Kingdom has a population of tens of millions and covers an extremely large area. Based on the current location of everyone, no matter which direction they go in front, they will eventually reach the capital city and there is no other place to go.
Wu Qiu didn't take it seriously and nodded in agreement.
It's just a conversation, there is always a beginning. If I directly ask the immortal if he can protect me, the probability of failure is infinitely close to perfection.
Wang Qian asked again: "Is there something urgent that the Immortal has to do and he is on his way in a hurry?"
Wu Qiu smiled and said: "No."
Wang Qian's eyes flashed with joy, which was half the success.
If these monks did not want to pay attention to him and just replied that it was urgent, he would not dare to say anything more, just apologize, turn around and leave.
Since the monk in front of him expressed his goodwill, the only question left was the price, so he said: "Although you, the immortal elders, are experts in the world, you usually eat elixirs and drink immortal dew, but you don't look down on the things of this world.
However, this trip to the capital is prosperous, and all kinds of things are top-notch in the world. If I can't enjoy it, I'm afraid it will be a pity. I am willing to pay 100,000 yuan to go with all the immortals, just to protect my family.
, I sincerely ask the Immortal Chief for permission."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, bowed to the end, and waited for a response with sweat on his forehead.
Wu Qiu shook his head and laughed, and looked at Su Hao.
One hundred thousand dollars is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and it is difficult to earn it in a lifetime, but people who cultivate immortals can use spiritual stones or talismans and other objects to exchange for a lot, which can easily start with millions, so it is really a bit
Disdainful.
However, both of them saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to help Wang Qian.
They don't want to meddle in other people's business, but they usually refuse to ask for help. If they ignore it at this time, it will be detrimental to their spiritual cultivation if they hear about the death of Wang Qian's family in the future.
Wu Qiudao: "A hundred thousand yuan ticket does sound like a lot, but I don't really care..."
At this point, Wang Qian hurriedly took two steps forward and said anxiously: "Master Immortal, don't refuse in a hurry, I have another message for you, about the treasure."
Wu Qiu raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Wang Qian to calm down and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say..."
Wang Qian was really anxious, and he said quickly and eloquently: "To be honest, there was a strange man who was able to find dragons and caves in our ancestors. He found a cave containing treasures in a vast mountain.
As for the mountain range, his cultivation was shallow and it was difficult for him to sense spiritual energy. Therefore, he once missed a precious spiritual stone, which was a lifelong regret. However, he actually sensed a large amount of spiritual energy in that mountain range. You can imagine how much treasure there is.
It is huge, if the Immortal Chief can ensure that I reach the capital safely, I will give you the map drawn by my ancestors."
Wu Qiu and Su Hao looked at each other again after hearing this.
People with cultivation skills around them immediately felt something brushing through their bodies.
