Chapter Thirty-Two: Mysterious Yin Ghosts, Spirit Talismans Turn into Thunder
Green cypresses are hidden, carriages and horses are sparkling, and a caravan consisting of several teams is moving forward on the Jingyang Ancient Road.
"Everyone, hurry up. Jingyang City is twenty miles ahead. Everyone, hurry up and don't miss Sutou."
In the team, the middle-aged guard leader was riding a horse and shouting back and forth, urging the driver to speed up!
In a carriage behind them, Cao Xiu and Chen Shi were sitting inside.
Half a month ago they said goodbye to their parents and relatives and embarked on the road to Daluo Sect.
If those children from aristocratic families traveled thousands of miles to Daluo Mountain, they would definitely be escorted by experts from the clan.
However, their current status is destined to be impossible to be the same as those young masters from aristocratic families.
Chen Shi won't go into details. His family makes a living by blacksmithing, and his father is just a low-level casual cultivator. Naturally, he has no family background to speak of.
As for Cao Xiu, although his mother, Wang, had also thought about asking the Wang family to send someone to escort him, Cao Xiu ultimately refused.
If he can't even reach Daluo Mountain, why should he cultivate the road to immortality? He should just imitate the old man of the Cao family and marry a few wives and go home to have children!
Although the journey to Daluo Mountain is far away, you may encounter fairies and ghosts along the way as you pass through many mountains, rivers and rivers.
But this is the hinterland of the human race after all, and there cannot be too powerful monsters to cause trouble. Otherwise, how can the people in various states, counties, and counties live such a stable life.
In addition, Cao Xiu has taken a lot of spiritual fruit and elixir these days. Even though the "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Art" is very difficult to practice, after eating so many spiritual things, his strength has improved a lot than before.
Especially his physical strength, which is more than ten times stronger than before. A single punch can weigh thousands of kilograms. He is also made of copper skin and iron bones. Ordinary weapons are invulnerable to swords. Even a low-grade magic weapon flying sword will not hurt him.
It's like a dull knife cutting on an old cowhide, it's hard to seriously injure him!
In terms of strength alone, he is actually no weaker than ordinary monks in the Condensing Yuan Realm.
The only pity is that he has not yet cultivated the "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Art" to a small level, and has not been able to shed his mortal body and develop supernatural powers, so his fighting skills are not as good as other monks.
This is also the biggest drawback of physical training. When the strength is relatively low, there are not many methods available.
Of course, this means keeping a distance from them. If a physical cultivator is caught with the opportunity to fight in close combat, he will definitely beat the fellow cultivators with the most violent force and flee in panic!
In addition to being physically strong, Cao Xiu also has the soul spell Jingshen Sting as a back-up, and a black turtle shield to protect himself. As long as he doesn't encounter any powerful monsters, he naturally doesn't have to worry about safety on the road.
What's more, the caravan they were looking for was also very powerful. Since they dared to do business in other places, they must have the strength to support the caravan. Otherwise, dozens of trucks of goods would just be delivered to their doorstep.
"Let's follow the caravan. The pace is relatively slow. After walking for so many days, we have only passed half of the journey!"
Chen Shi looked up at the sky and happened to see a flying boat flying in mid-air.
A hint of envy flashed in his eyes: "It would be great if we also had a flying boat. I heard that this kind of spiritual weapon can travel thousands of miles in one day, and it can fly from Jiangzhou to Daluo Mountain in one day!"
"Why, are you envious?"
Cao Xiu smiled and said: "Don't be like this. When our brothers become disciples of Daluo Sect, will we still worry about not having any magic weapons to use?
If you cultivate to the heavenly realm in the future, I'm afraid you, Master Chen, will still look down on this mere flying boat!"
"Ha ha……"
Chen Shi was amused by him: "Nonsense, it's so easy to achieve the realm of heaven and human beings. If I could shed my mortal body and cultivate supernatural powers, I would be satisfied!"
"Hehe, in the realm of magical powers, even in Daluo Sect, you are treated as an inner disciple. It seems that your ambition is not small. You haven't even entered the outer sect, but you have already started thinking about the inner sect!"
The two were chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard a sound that ripped through the air.
"Um?"
Cao Xiu's body has been tempered, and his five senses and six senses are extremely sharp, and he was the first to detect abnormalities.
He suddenly looked up and saw dozens of short spears being thrown out of the dense forest on both sides of the road!
Seeing this scene, Cao Xiu was not too surprised, because they had already seen bandits blocking the road when they were riding in other caravans.
But this time, it seems a little different, because the ordinary bandits who dominate the mountains do not pay attention to the art of war, nor do they throw short spears so intensively.
Seeing that some of the short spears were falling towards the carriage on his side, Cao Xiu reached out and pulled Chen Shi, knocked open the carriage and jumped out.
"There is a sneak attack, be on guard..."
Someone among the guards shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, short spears fell down one after another, directly piercing many people and horses.
The whole team suddenly went into chaos, with many people screaming and running away!
"Damn it!"
The leader of the guard cursed angrily, drew out the long sword from his waist, deflected the two short spears flying towards him, jumped on the horse, flew several feet away, and struck down the bandit who had just emerged from the woods with his sword first.
Split in half!
Although the team was in chaos, the leader's guards remained calm in the face of danger. Except for a few who were left behind to protect a carriage in the middle, the rest all rushed out with weapons in hand. They looked extremely brave and killed two or three people in just a moment.
Bandit No. 10.
So many casualties immediately shook the bandits' confidence, and some people were already retreating quietly, preparing to escape.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a cold snort coming from the forest.
Immediately afterwards, a stream of black smoke flew out and wrapped around several guards like living creatures.
Before the guards could scream, they fell to the ground and died!
"Xuanyin ghost evil spirit?"
In the caravan, an angry shout suddenly rang out from the tightly guarded carriage: "Who is this demon who dares to practice evil here and harm living beings? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the righteous sect?"
"Hey hey hey..."
An erratic and cold laughter came from the mountains and forests, making people confused about the specific direction: "Old man, I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you, hand over the treasure you are carrying, and I will spare your life.
Otherwise, I will send you all to the West!"
"Shameless talk!"
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a gray-haired old man walked out of it: "Since you know the treasures on my body, you should know my identity. You even dare to snatch things from Yaowang Valley. I think you are tired of living!"
"
"Haha, haven't the things been delivered to Yaowang Valley yet?"
The cold and erratic voice came again: "You are just a peripheral force that is vassal to Yaowang Valley. Why risk your lives for this thing? Hand it over if you have the sense to do so, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"If you have the ability, come and get it yourself."
The old man was dismissive, but his eyes were shining brightly. He glanced around, and suddenly his expression changed: "So it's hidden here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual talisman suddenly flew out of his sleeve robe.
Then there was a cracking sound, which turned into thunder several feet long and struck straight into the depths of the mountain forest.
