Chapter 36 Exiting Customs
Eight hundred miles east of Tianhuoguan, dozens of soldiers stood on the hills and looked out.
The leaders are a young general and a Taoist priest.
"It's still too late to come back."
Zhuan Lei knocked on the horse whip and looked at the endless sea of fire in the distance.
"The Nanli Demon Saint spreads out the sea of magma and fire, and he clearly doesn't plan to let me return."
"It was my Taoist technique that was not good, and I could not calculate this disaster." The Taoist priest was also very young, and his age seemed to be as good as Zhuan Lei.
"It has nothing to do with you. You reminded me in advance that this situation is unpredictable. After seizing the magic fruit, I also told me that I must immediately return to Tianhuoguan. The reason for the delay is that there are too many pursuers and delay time."
"Major General." A personal guard said: "What should I do now? Go back and let Tianhuoguan pick us up?"
"Impossible. In that encounter twenty years ago, how could the Divine Dynasty dare to release people into the pass at will?"
Twenty years ago, Zhuanlei witnessed the chaos in the East China Sea with his own eyes.
The master of Tianming Palace foresaw a catastrophe in the east. The God Emperor ordered the reinforcement of the barriers of the three gates of the east and prohibited all fishermen from going to sea.
In this way, no matter how much water in the East China Sea rises by a hundred feet, it is difficult to damage an inch of land in eastern Kun.
However, the Dragon Palace chose another method. They lured fishermen to smuggle out of the sea, and caused a shipwreck that caused heavy casualties and injuries to the fishermen, forcing the fishermen to flee to the town customs.
When the generals guarding the pass saw the fishermen under the city, they couldn't bear it for a moment and opened a passage to guide them.
Therefore, Hailong took the opportunity to enter, causing the eight counties of Dongtian to fall into a flood, killing and injuring one billion.
The Emperor was furious for this. Not only were the generals guarding the three passes executed, but even their relatives were affected by the three tribes. The Marshal of the Dragon Slaying Army of Zhencus was demoted to common people and sent to the cold land of the bitterness and cold place, and has not yet come back.
But even so, it is difficult to redeem the lives of one billion people.
"Now I enter the pass, if the sea of fire rushes into Dakun, the disaster will end in the eight counties of Nantian, and my Yunyang Marquis' Mansion will not be able to repay the deaths."
Zhuan Lei sighed: "Nanli Demon Saint is a pretentious plot, and he forces me to not go back to the city."
"What's more, Ao Xinglie and my family will compete for the power of the Chiyan Army, how could he miss this opportunity? He wished I could die outside."
The little Taoist priest couldn't help but say, "Why do we change the other two levels for the present plan?"
"As I expected, there are also demon saints guarding the other two levels. Although I attracted the catastrophe of Tianhuo Pass this time, it was also the action planned by the demon clan earlier."
Zhuan Lei: "The Dragon Palace has been overthrown. Who in the world knows that the next target of the God Emperor is the Demon Emperor? Therefore, they have to take the lead."
After Zhuan Lei finished speaking, he saw that the people were depressed and his heart moved: "Don't worry too much. We will stay outside for a few days. When the God King arrives and the Demon Saint retreats, he will return to the city."
"However, we don't have many pills in our hands, and it's difficult to fight against the demon miasma outside the pass."
The environment outside the eight levels is definitely not something that humans can adapt to. The demons and miasma here are strong, and even the Tiangang warriors and Taoist immortals will not survive for three days.
Therefore, warriors must not fight for more than one day outside. Moreover, they must take medicines such as fasting pill, miasma avoidance pill, fire-relieving pill and other drugs in advance.
Zhuanlei and his group traveled lightly and simplely, and the military supplies distributed in advance were only enough to spend ten days. However, they were active on the road and were injured frequently. The pills have bottomed out now.
The little Taoist priest regretted that he had known that he should not concentrate on studying divination, but should have dabbled in one or two alchemy techniques.
Of course, it would be useless to have no raw materials for general alchemy techniques, unless it is the "Qi Dan technique" in the ancient legend.
"This is Tianhuoguan, and my ancestors have a safe place here. Although the Demon Saint of Nanli also knows that place, he can only bet at the moment and go there for the time being to take refuge."
...
Plop—
Sun Jing was thrown out of the restaurant, and he got up in anger: "Hey, my uncle said he would hire someone out of the city. Those who spend money, don't you want to?"
There was a laugh from the restaurant: "Young Master, I don't know which family you are from Jinwu City. However, in the current situation, I can't come back after going out. Even if I live a life of licking blood from the knife, I will not be foolish enough to run out to die. Build a camp? You can come out."
Sun Jing was so angry that he was trembling, but he had no choice but to do anything. He had a shallow skill and wanted to save Zhuan Lei. When he was looking for someone to go out, even the casual cultivators from Tianhuoguan were willing to go out.
"I advise you to take a break." Baili Chengyun came over and helped Sun Jing up: "We are waiting for news in the pass. The second young master Zhuan, Jiren, will have his own heavenly appearance, and maybe he can come back by himself?"
"He is back, but can he come in?" Sun Jing was furious: "The only way now is to camp under the city. Wait for the arrival of the God King, and then turn on and off to respond to the enemy."
"What do you want?" Baili Chengyun said angrily: "We didn't go to find Marshal Ao just now, but Marshal didn't see us at all. Even if the face of Master Tianjing was given to him, that person didn't give him."
Ni Wanru stood aside, silent.
The group of them left from the Thousand Years Tomb and went to Tianhuo Pass to rest. They happened to encounter the demon saint attacking the city, and Sun Jing learned about Zhuanlei's situation and wanted to go out to save people.
At least, build a camp at the city gate to facilitate Zhuanlei to settle down.
However, Ao Xinglie refused to send troops and could not see these young men from aristocratic families.
And Sun Jing spent money to hire someone to build a camp, but no one agreed.
"Okay, don't let others laugh at me." Murong Zheng glanced at the crowd, and the soldiers and civilians in the Guanzhong who were watching the fun dispersed one after another.
Zhuanyang hid in the crowd and left secretly.
They came to Tianhuo Pass from the Golden Flame Realm, and their ideas were similar to Sun Jing. They spent money to hire a group of people to camp at the city gate, cleared up nearby monsters, and steadily welcomed Zhuanlei.
However, no one is willing to take on this job.
"It seems that I can only go out in person."
Peng Yu ate the duck pear and hid in another corner, bringing Zhuanyang's resolute expression into his eyes.
"This kid still doesn't give up. But if I help him this time, I will definitely be able to repay the favor and leave with peace of mind."
Thinking of this, Peng Yu had an idea and returned to the fairy boat by himself.
That night, he saw Zhuanyang sneaking towards the city gate and secretly following Zhuanyang.
The eighth level sky screen is prohibited from outside and inside.
To prevent all external alien forces from invading, but not to exclude people inside the pass. What really prevents people inside the pass from going out are the generals defending the city from all the gates of Tianhuoguan.
But Tianguan is thousands of feet high and there are countless Fengkou Portals. Zhuanyang borrowed his own relationship to bribe the defenders of Fengkou Portal.
The one who guided him was a lame veteran.
Looking at Zhuanyang in red outfit, he sighed, "Young Master, I don't know why you have to go out at this time. But you have thought about it and go out now, but you will never come back."
"Don't worry, I've brought enough pills for a month to support the Demon Saint's withdrawal. Just think I'm going outside to practice."
While talking, Zhuanyang looked at the figures in front of the wind vent. They lined up for inspection and walked outside the wind vent.
"What's going on with them? Isn't the Grand Marshal prohibited going out?"
The veteran sneered: "No? When is it prohibited to go out, can you control everyone?"
"Officially prohibited, private smuggling. Hasn't it been like this for thousands of years?"
"These casual cultivators also plan to practice outside. Nowadays, monsters are active frequently. Although they are dangerous, their inner alchemy is valuable."
Zhuanyang was silent. He thought of the experience of customs town that his brother had told him.
If the people there had not been privately smuggled and the scale was too large, and eventually caused the general to switch, how could the eight counties have suffered a disaster?
"But I don't have the right to talk to others now, after all, I'm also smuggling."
Taking a deep breath, Zhuanyang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, lead the way."
The veteran took him and came to Fengkou with several smugglers in front of him.
Looking out, the red light flows like a waterfall, isolating the alien energy from the outside world.
"You have thought about it and can still retreat now. If you really jump, you won't be able to turn back."
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, it's not the first time I did it. Anyway, the God King arrives in three days, we just need to survive for three days." An optimistic cultivator waved to the veteran with a smile: "When I come back, I'll invite you to drink."
The veteran shook his head and waved his hand at him: "Wait for you to come back, old man, please ask you."
After saying that, the casual cultivator jumped out of the air outlet and fell under the Tianhuo Pass under the gust of strong wind.
Bang—
A package opened on his back, revealing a large mushroom-like thing, slowly drifting downwards.
"Young master, your parachute." The veteran gave Zhuanyang a copy: "There is a rope on it, you will be there later..."
"Skydiving, I can." Zhuanyang put on his umbrella bag and jumped down with the people in front of him.
The strong wind whistled, making him roll. At this moment, he suddenly understood why these breathable passages were called "windows".
The wind here is really strong!
Zhuanyang narrowed his eyes, felt the strong wind slapping his cheeks, and quickly opened the skydiving when the opportunity was right.
Just as he landed safely, he suddenly heard a scream ahead.
The casual cultivator who just talked to the veteran was bitten and killed by a fire wolf.
"Be careful, there are five fire wolf, let's go together."
Seeing this, several warriors who landed beside him rushed up to kill the fire wolf.
"So, don't just put the flag on your own, otherwise you will suffer immediately." A familiar voice came from behind Zhuanyang.
He was shocked and turned around suddenly.
When he saw the boy wearing a colorful bird's clothes standing behind him with a smile, Zhuanyang's face turned pale.
You...when did you follow me? Wait, you come out, am I dead?
