The three of Lin Chuan and a group of merchants parted ways near Qingqiu City. Until Lin Chuan had gone far away, the old merchant was still thinking non-stop.
"This young master, oh no, this young hero is really rare. Not only did he not take our goods at all, but he also kept his promise and sent us here..."
"Maybe they don't like what we have at all!" the fat merchant said disdainfully.
"Brother Xu, how can you talk like this?" The old merchant was a little unhappy when he heard this.
The fat merchant snorted coldly: "If he hadn't left midway, Brother Ma wouldn't have been buried in Jingluan!"
"You! You are really ignorant! That man named Ma brought it upon himself! The two young ladies warned him not to act rashly, but he still insisted on going his own way, leading several of his men to die. If I hadn't grabbed you with all my strength, you would still be talking.
Barking here!"
The old merchant changed his usual gentleness and pointed at the fat merchant's nose and cursed loudly.
"I'm really blind. I won't go with you on the same journey again!" The old merchant said, flicking his sleeves and robe, and marched into the city first.
The fat businessman was obviously startled by the old businessman. He had never seen the old businessman lose such a temper. He touched the back of his head and saw that all the clerks were looking at him, most of them with contempt in their eyes.
"Bah! The old man has forgotten his identity, how can he pretend to be benevolent and moral in front of me!" The fat businessman spat, cursed and followed him into the city.
…
There is no moon at night.
On the plains in the western part of the northern country, Lin Chuan and the others found a place near a stream.
"Sister Murong, will it rain tonight?" Yu Xiaoyao picked up dead branches and looked at Murong Longyue who was returning from fetching water.
Murong Longyue's face turned red when she heard this, she looked at Yu Xiaoyao and said, "Oh... I'll do the math... I'll go clean my hands first..."
Smoke rises and firelight dances.
"Xiaoyao, please don't make things difficult for her..." Through the fireworks, Lin Chuan's voice carried a hint of warmth.
"No way. Sister Murong can even predict the overall situation of life and death. How can you master this mere skill of asking the rain?" Yu Xiaoyao said and looked at Murong Longyue who was peeking at the conversation between the two.
Murong Longyue quickly averted her gaze, as if she was rowing in the cold stream without hearing anything.
Lin Chuan shook his head and looked at the dark night sky, then held his breath and felt the moisture around him.
"There will be no rain tonight, maybe there will be snow." Lin Chuan opened his eyes and said calmly.
"Ah, is it going to snow again? I knew we would stay overnight in Qingqiu City. If it snowed, tonight would be miserable..." Yu Xiaoyao held her thin shoulders and shivered.
Lin Chuan knew that Yu Xiaoyao was acting. At her level, as long as she used a little spiritual power, she could drive away the coldness in her body.
Winter has just begun, and it has not yet reached the worst cold period. However, the clothes on Yu Xiaoyao's body are a little thin, and it would be really difficult to endure it without spiritual support.
Lin Chuan knew that most of these young female spiritual masters would not be wrapped up in winter clothes like ordinary people, and would be too bloated to show off their graceful figures, so Lin Chuan did not dissuade them.
Qingqiu City Gate was heavily guarded, and Lin Chuan didn't want to waste any more trouble. He could sense the seeds of evil that were about to stir in his heart, and he didn't have much time left.
Although the medicine made by Gai Ying can inhibit the growth of oxtail seeds, it has a drawback.
After this kind of medicine is swallowed by the seeds of the oxtail, it will gain momentum. The time for suppressing the medicine will gradually shorten, and once it grows, it will grow extremely fast.
"After a few years, I also want to visit the capital of the North, but I can't wait here..." Lin Chuan pointed to his heart and sighed with a wry smile.
"Oh? Is that lovesickness seed restless again?" Yu Xiaoyao looked at Lin Chuan suspiciously.
"Uh... what are the seeds of lovesickness?" Lin Chuan's eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Yu Xiaoyao blankly. He thought of Guan Pass in a snap. It turned out that this girl was making fun of him. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly and his face turned slightly hot.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaoyao covered her mouth and chuckled.
Seeing that the topic of weather deductions was over, Murong Longyue saw that the two of them were chatting and laughing, feeling itchy and unbearable, and waved their hands and walked over.
"It is said that the general of the North Kingdom has to defend the city every day, and it cannot be shaken by lightning. It is strange that we did not see a female sword master on the city wall today!"
Lin Chuan changed the subject and added some firewood to the campfire.
Yu Xiaoyao thought for a moment before speaking: "I guess I went to the Sea of Fog. The fire of chaos in the Hong Furnace is gradually extinguished, and the Hongjie demons are also starting to make moves. They are counting the days just like us!"
"The demons also want to seize the Hong Furnace artifact?" Murong Longyue said in surprise.
"Well, they not only want to seize the Hong Furnace artifact, but also want to destroy the Hong Furnace!" Yu Xiaoyao suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice.
Murong Longyue's eyes widened even more, and then asked: "Didn't you say that the fire of chaos can destroy demons? What's more, the Hong Furnace is a thing of the ancient gods, how can those Xiaoxiao destroy it!"
Lin Chuan said: "It is true that the fire of chaos can destroy demons. During the Hongmeng War, the demons wanted to destroy the furnace of heaven and earth. The other tribes had no way to deal with the fire of chaos, but those flame demons were not afraid of the fire of chaos.
, they can even bewitch fire spirits for their own use.
If all the fire spirits in the Hong Furnace are demonized, the consequences will be disastrous, and all the four kingdoms and eight wastelands will be devastated. Without the fire of chaos, the Hong Furnace will be just a useless furnace, and it will be difficult to refine divine weapons."
Murong Longyue took a breath after hearing this: "No wonder the general of the North Kingdom wants to patrol the sea of fog!"
"Well, not only the generals of the four kingdoms of Central Continent have to take turns guarding the Sea of Fog every year, but also the great powers of the Heavenly Spirit Realm from the Eight Wastelands have to participate in the protection." Yu Xiaoyao nodded.
"Has Hu Duo ever been to the Sea of Fog?" Lin Chuan asked.
Knowing that he was alive, Hu Duo would definitely be in trouble in his dormitory. As long as his shadow guards arrived at Xiling Ferry, they would be intercepted by the troops deployed by Lin Xichun.
Lin Chuan alone knew of as many as five people, and those shadow guards were all masters of the Earth Spirit Realm. Lin Chuan had seen the methods of Shadow Seventeen in Licheng, Dongguo.
According to Lin Chuan's conjecture at the time, Ying Shiqi was probably afraid of the ancestor of the Jia family, or else he was intimidated by the cold-faced city lord Xiao Moxin, otherwise he would not have been able to escape.
Little did they know that the person who helped Lin Chuan avoid the disaster was none other than Zhao Qiankun, who was pretending to be crazy.
"Well... I know that the first person to go to the Sea of Fog is General Lu Wushuang of the Western Kingdom, then General Wen Renjun of the Eastern Kingdom, and then the female Sword Master. Hu Duo probably hasn't had his turn yet!"
"Xiaoyao, do you know how long Cen Min has been gone?" Lin Chuan nodded after hearing this.
Yu Xiaoyao frowned and shook his head and replied: "These are all secrets. They were only spread to the ears of the people after they were discovered by interested people. I don't know how long she has been gone."
Lin Chuan thought about it. The general leaving the country should not be made public, otherwise the bandits would be waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.
"The General of the Western Kingdom actually went to the Sea of Fog to serve? Then who can guard the beast tide in the Western Kingdom?" Murong Longyue paused for a moment, suddenly thinking of this question.
Murong Longyue had heard about the beast tide in the Western Kingdom when he was in the river valley. Even in the river valleys in the mountains, traces of wild beasts would occasionally appear.
"We have been traveling all the way west, have Sister Murong seen any shadows of wild beasts?" Yu Xiaoyao asked with a smile.
Murong Longyue shook his head, and Lin Chuan was stunned when he heard this. He really had not seen any wild beasts along the way.
"Previous beast tides were influenced by Danxun City. The barrier of Danxun City at the Central Continent Summit was loosened, and the aura of the Demon Emperor would overflow from the city, causing the beasts of the four kingdoms to become restless. This time the beast tide is indeed a bit weird, far beyond
In the past, but after the summit, they still retreated to Xisha.
The barbaric beasts that fled to other countries were all killed by the patrolling spirit guards. Therefore, the Western Kingdom was temporarily free of the pressure of the barbarian beasts. Now it is recovering in an orderly manner. All cities in the Western Kingdom are recruiting spiritual masters of all kinds, regardless of their origins.
As long as it's human race.
After I find the Gu King, I will go to the Western Kingdom to find a garrison and take all the Yu family members there, so that I no longer have to compete with those beasts for territory."
When Yu Xiaoyao said this, his eyes shone with light, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, as if he was guarding an adult.
"Xiaoyao wanted to be at ease, but he was afraid that the Western Emperor would go back on his word and not tolerate you Gu clan." Lin Chuan had no influence in attacking Yu Xiaoyao, but what he said was the truth. The four emperors at the moment have no credibility at all. For Bahuang
The aliens will rush away as soon as they are told.
"I have thought of this for a long time. They will no longer be allowed to raise voodoos by then. Anyone who dares to raise voodoos will be sent back to the Gu Domain!" Yu Xiaoyao was very domineering.
"Then your family's inheritance is..." Lin Chuan looked at Yu Xiaoyao with some confusion.
"The inheritance of the family can be left to me alone. As long as I surrender the Gu King, how can those guys be my opponents.
I originally thought about returning to the Gu Territory and killing everyone, but these days I suddenly figured out that even if I wiped out the other tribes, the Gu Territory would still be just a desolate forest, completely inferior to the hinterland of Central Continent. Any aristocratic family here could
Can crush a tribe."
Lin Chuan listened carefully to Yu Xiaoyao's words, but he always felt that something was wrong. He didn't know how to persuade this girl who was full of yearning for Zhongzhou, so he could only smile slightly.
While several people were silent, several birds suddenly appeared in the forest.
I looked around for a while and saw the branches trembling slightly through the firelight, but I didn't see any living creatures.
Lin Chuan stood up. He didn't believe that the flying birds just happened by accident. They must have received some kind of fright before suddenly fluttering their wings.
Lin Chuan released his spiritual power, the ring light flashed in his hand, and the saber was ready to release the ring at any time.
After a while, there was only the crackling sound of flames burning dead branches in the air, and there was no other unusual movement.
Excluding the theory of wild beasts hunting at night, the most likely cause is man-made.
This place is only a hundred miles away from Qingqiu City, so there should be no bandits. The most likely ones are those patrolling spiritual guards, or assassins following the trail.
The patrolling spirit guards are always high-profile and not so sneaky, so is this person the killer of Winter, or the shadow guard of Hu Duo?!
Lin Chuan quickly thought about the identity of the person coming. After several eliminations, the last thing Lin Chuan thought of was the person who rescued Zhu Chu.
That man's concealment ability was similar to that of Shi Yan, but it was still somewhat different from Lan Yin'er. He should have used some kind of spiritual weapon to cover his aura.
But the moment Lin Chuan fought with him, he could feel that the person's level was not lower than his.
