Xuan Ye hurriedly helped up the seriously injured Liu Yishan and gave him a healing medicine. "Please get up, father-in-law. I just saw an injustice on the road."
Liu Yishan held the healing medicine in his hand. Although it was not a particularly valuable item for a monk in the transformation stage, it weighed as much as a thousand pounds in his hand at this moment.
The rest of the people were more or less injured, and Xuan Ye did not hesitate to give them healing medicines. With the Purple Heart Pill, these ordinary healing medicines were not so popular.
At this time, everyone was even more grateful and wished they could kneel down on the spot.
After some small talk, Xuan Ye learned that they were coming from Modan City in the north to deliver a batch of goods to Dongshan Ridge.
"Well, we are all poor abandoned people. Wherever we go, there is home." Liu Yishan smoked his pipe and sighed faintly. "I wonder where my benefactor came from?"
Xuan Ye touched his nose and said what he had planned in advance. "I am the young master of a small family in Lintian City. Something happened while I was hunting and I fled here."
Although Lintian City was sealed off in a timely manner, how could it be hidden if a city disappeared out of thin air.
Liu Yishan was not surprised why Xuan Ye's clothes were in tatters, and coupled with his abilities, it was indeed true. The only doubt was how could the young master of a small family have such a level of cultivation?
He had been walking around the world for so long, so naturally he didn't know how to get to the bottom of it. He took a puff of cigarette and sighed quietly: "Then what are my benefactor's plans for the future?"
"Well...I am alone and have no place in Yunzhou. I just want to go to Dongzhou to make a living."
Liu Yishan's palms trembled slightly and he glanced at Xuan Ye. He was silent for a moment and then lowered his eyes. "My benefactor is still young. It's good to go see him more. It's just that the world is dangerous and you need to be more careful."
"Thank you, old man, I know what I know. I have always followed the elders in the clan, and I am not familiar with this road. I would like to ask how to get to the border."
"Well... we are going to Dongshan Ridge, which is not far from the border. If my father-in-law doesn't mind, he can go with us. There is also a loaded carriage behind us. Although the space is not big, it is enough for a temporary rest."
Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief and thanked me: "Then thank you, father-in-law."
After Xuan Ye left, Liu Yishan was still sitting by the fire, smoking his pipe quietly and sighing from time to time.
"Old braid, why don't you persuade him to stay? He is already homeless anyway. Besides, doesn't he like Xiao Xiu?" Another old man in the caravan sighed.
Xiaoxiu sitting aside immediately blushed and lowered her head silently.
Liu Yishan spit out the mist and his eyes gradually became blank, "Old Xu, don't you still know what kind of life we live? You still have to drag people into the quagmire."
After saying that, he laughed again. "I know, you think that because he has a high level of cultivation, as long as he can be recruited into the caravan, you won't have to worry about him in the future. I had the same idea just now, and it was really stupid."
Lao Xu blushed, then lowered his head and muttered, "How do you know he doesn't want to if you don't ask?"
Liu Yishan shook his head, "You don't really think that he would be willing to stay in a small caravan, do you? The golden scales are not a thing in the pond. A ruined temple like ours cannot cover up the light of this giant Buddha."
Immediately, he looked at Xiaoxiu again, his eyes full of doting. "If my father-in-law really liked Xiaoxiu, I wouldn't let him stay. I would just let him take Xiaoxiu away, and I would be fine, but I have only one wish.
.”
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Xiaoxiu will never leave you!" As Xiaoxiu said, she threw herself into Liu Yishan's arms and pursed her lips.
"Silly girl, how could my grandpa live so long? Your parents died early. If something unexpected happens to me again and you are left alone in this world, how can I feel at ease under the Nine Springs!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!" Xiaoxiu's eyes turned red and she slowly opened her mouth.
Liu Yishan smiled, touched her head, and lit the fire again. "Old Xu, wake up the brothers and get ready to go."
"The injuries on your body..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you walk through the pass in front and reach the official road, the road behind will be much easier."
Liu Yishan pushed himself up, shouted to everyone to get up, and immediately came to a carriage near the front to direct the caravan to move forward.
There was no talking all night, and at dawn, the caravan finally arrived at the pass.
After a routine inspection, I paid some customs clearance money and continued heading east.
Nothing happened along the way, Xuan Ye rarely left the carriage, and only when he was resting at night would he sneak out and find a secluded place to refine the elixir.
After the battle in the Imperial City, the Origin-Returning Pill was exhausted, so he used all the remaining materials and practiced some Purple Heart Pills for healing in case of emergencies.
Of course, the most important thing is to check the Sumeru Precepts given by Yuan Wen.
The ring is dark gray in color and as cool as jade. It would be more appropriate to call it a ring. It may be that Yuan Wen's body shape is different from ordinary people, which is why he needs such a large Sumeru ring.
Xuan Ye probed in with his spiritual sense, first touched a barrier, and then a familiar face appeared in his mind.
Yuan Wen smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes. The next moment, it disappeared like sand in the wind.
This is just a soul remnant mark. If it is not Xuan Ye but someone else who penetrates the Sumeru Ring at this time, this remnant mark will immediately destroy all the items inside and may also corrode the spy's spiritual consciousness.
Many strong men would leave this restriction, but now that Yuan Wen's soul has dispersed, the Sumeru Ring has become ownerless, and he has successfully penetrated into it.
The Sumeru Ring is emptier than expected, with only three scrolls, some strange materials, and a small amount of Yuan Wen's personal belongings.
Xuan Ye pulled out a scroll, which was golden in color and engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern on the outside. It was heavy in his hand.
After opening it, brilliant light overflowed, and as soon as the spiritual consciousness penetrated it, it trembled violently.
The three characters "Lianhuo" fell into my heart like a meteor.
After a brief reading, he finally came to his senses, and he had never felt such a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
At first, Xuan Ye thought that the flickering sky and moon were already extremely mysterious, but now when compared with this fire-refining switch, it seemed to pale into insignificance.
However, this move is too powerful and cannot be used with his current cultivation level. However, he has learned a lot from it and has a new understanding of spiritual power and the use of demon fire.
After taking back the fire-refining scroll, he took out another one. This scroll was twice as big as the fire-refining scroll. It was darker in color, but what was engraved was not a five-clawed golden dragon, but something strange that Xuan Ye had never seen before.
beast.
Touching his body gently, he seemed to hear a response, the sound of a needle being struck.
"If your guess is correct, this is Wuji Taiyan's cultivation scroll." Xuan Ye was extremely excited. Having seen this move with his own eyes, he naturally knew what kind of treasure it was.
Recalling the battle in the Imperial City, Yuan Wen took advantage of this to make a heaven-defying move of using the power of Yuan Mansion to fight against all odds!
He rubbed his hands and slowly opened the scroll. He had just opened it halfway and felt it was not safe. After looking around, he added a few more warning measures.
Then he got back into the small cave and couldn't wait to open the scroll.
The moment he opened it, Xuan Ye was stunned. The symbols on it were completely incomprehensible, and the paper used to burn the soul imprint was also very primitive. It felt a bit like the fur of some kind of beast.
Later he found out that this was indeed the skin of an animal, but this kind of animal was called an ancient dragon.
Xuan Ye looked at it for a while, but had no clue. Instead, he felt dizzy and his thoughts were fruitless, so he used his spiritual sense to explore.
A scream rang out, and he fell to the ground, covering his temples with both hands. Veins popped up on his painful forehead, and his body was shaking constantly.
At that moment, it seemed as if two swords had passed through it, messing up his nerves.
After waiting for a long time, Xuan Ye calmed down slightly. Looking at the scroll that fell to the ground, he actually felt a little scared.
"Could it be a restriction..." He murmured, regaining his courage, put the scroll on his knees, gritted his teeth, and thrust his spiritual consciousness into it.
With another scream, Xuan Ye fell to the ground again with a splitting headache. When the pain subsided, he was already covered in cold sweat and his eyes became blood red.
However, this time, he touched something different. Deep within the Thousand Swords, there was a light source.
Although it is still far away from that light source, once we can explore it, we will surely be able to reveal the true face of Wuji Taiyan.
"Sure enough, these heaven-defying things cannot be obtained casually. They have made me so embarrassed before I even started practicing."
Xuan Ye took back the scroll, glanced at the sky, and did not continue. He put the Sumeru ring back into the Sumeru bag, then left the small cave and headed for the caravan.
After walking for another day, we almost arrived at Dongshan Ridge.
Xuan Ye did not sit in the carriage, but came to the front of the caravan and slowly advanced with the guards.
"My dear friend, are you out? We are almost at Dongshan Ridge, but it may still be a day or two to the border. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay for a while before leaving."
Xuan Ye nodded and looked at the pass in front of him, standing between two cliffs, a hundred meters high. The white stone wall was like a fluorescent white mirror under the reflection of the sun, but it was slightly blurry.
Compared with the previous pass, this one not only looks majestic, but also feels daunting.
Seeing Xuan Ye staring at the city wall, Liu Yishan chuckled and said: "It must be the first time that my benefactor traveled far away. This pass is called Suolong Pass. It existed in the old dynasty and was an important pass connecting the border and the hinterland. The largest one among them
The formation is extremely powerful, and it is said that even if a Yuanfu-level monk is trapped, he will not be able to break through it for a while."
Xuan Ye nodded, remembering that he had not passed by this place when he came in that day. Even Yuan Wen, who had entered the Yuanfu stage, deliberately avoided it...
He suddenly stopped where he was, looking at the pass, wondering whether it was better to leave here.
If it is such an important pass, it will definitely be subject to interrogation. If it is accidentally exposed, it will be like catching a turtle in a jar.
"My dear friend, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoxiu said timidly, with a slight blush on her face after speaking.
"No...it's okay." Xuan Ye smiled slightly and walked forward again, but when he saw the girl next to him, her face was so red that she almost bled.
Not long after the caravan entered the pass, it was indeed questioned.
Xuan Ye saw the notice posted on the wall at a glance, with his portrait clearly painted on it. Although his appearance had changed a little, he could still recognize it if he looked carefully.
He secretly thought it was wrong and walked slowly towards the back of the caravan. Just as he was about to sneak under the car, he suddenly noticed a cold light falling on his back.
