Bai Qing looked around at the servants arranged by Yunzhou Mansion, and said calmly: "Let's talk about it after we get in the car."
After saying that, he stepped on the crossbar, stepped into the carriage, turned around and extended his hand to Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi understood the idea, lifted up her skirt, held Bai Qing's hand, pushed up hard, and Lin Xixue followed closely behind.
Seeing that all three people had got on the bus and were seated firmly, the coachman waved his whip and gave a light scold, and the two horses began to run in unison.
Bai Qing took out the formation disk from her palm, and eight rather small formation flags flew out from the formation disk, and were fixed at the eight corners of the carriage. A red light curtain appeared, and then disappeared instantly.
She then said: "Flying with weapons is a basic skill for monks. In fact, it is an advanced level of the art of expelling objects. How could I not know it?"
"As for why I chose to take a carriage instead of flying back, it's mainly because flying back wouldn't be much faster," Bai Qing explained sternly.
"Not much faster?" Lin Xixue blinked, doubtful, "The sword flies thousands of miles in an instant. Is this just a rumor?"
"Of course it's an exaggeration to travel thousands of miles in an instant. That's something only the Grandmaster of Nascent Soul can do. With my level of cultivation, even if I exert all my strength, I can only travel dozens of miles in a few breaths."
Lin Xixue thought to herself after hearing this, if it could really fly so fast, then the East China Sea would be about four to five thousand miles away and could be reached in one day, so why would there be a need to travel for more than a month in a carriage?
That means there must be some reason why Bai Qing cannot fly away at full strength.
Some refugees were unable to dodge and were swept under the hooves of horses. After being trampled, they were run over by carriages.
Bai Qing shook her head and said: "Evil energy has already filled the world. It's just a difference in intensity. At this moment, the place we are in, although it is very light, still has evil energy."
The driver waved his whip and tried to drive them away, but these refugees actually blocked the road ahead. The horses were frightened and refused to move forward for a while.
The array flag placed in the eight corners of the carriage was triggered. Bai Qing held the array plate in her hand, crossed her legs and closed her eyes, showing no joy or sorrow, as if she did not take the injury of the victim seriously.
The refugees gathered around the city gate saw a gorgeous side-by-side carriage suddenly drive out of the city, and they all surrounded it.
She couldn't see through Lin Xixue, but she also understood that if Lin Xixue really had any evil intentions, there was no need to go out of her way to save herself.
After all, Bai Qing said that if the evil spirit in a place is too strong, she will not be able to recover her spiritual power. But she has already left Hong Yanzi's lair, so why can't she still be unable to regurgitate it at will?
The victim lost his right hand, holding his broken wrist and wailing in pain on the ground. However, the victims behind him did not seem to have any fear, and stepped on him one after another, trying to knock the car open.
"That's right. In addition, if I take the two of you with me, my spiritual energy consumption will increase exponentially. I'm afraid I'll have to rest in place for a few days if I escape a hundred miles. It's better to just take a carriage."
She couldn't help but remember that when she was flying with Bai Qing in the jade book, she would always get nosebleeds because the flight time was too long, and she had to stop and rest as a last resort.
Xu Zhiyi was sitting in the carriage, and the violent jolting sensation was accompanied by a cracking sound, tearing at her fragile and sensitive nerves.
When the horseman heard this, he immediately respectfully held up his whip with both hands.
Bai Qing whipped several salty pig hands to pieces, and continued to warn: "Once again, please don't block the road, otherwise you will be responsible for your own life and death, don't say you were unprepared!"
Seeing that the refugees still refused to leave, Bai Qing slapped the horse twice, causing the horse to go crazy in pain and run wildly with the carriage.
Lin Xixue expressed her guess.
Lin Xixue definitely didn't intend to take action, she just looked at Bai Qing calmly to see how she wanted to solve the crisis at hand.
This group of refugees who attacked the car were more like the beasts that chased the car at the safari park in a previous life than humans.
Currently, she only knows of one evil factor that affects the speed of spiritual power recovery.
"That's right." Bai Qing answered calmly and had no intention of hiding anything.
"Master Bai Xian, these refugees have blocked the road completely, making it impossible to move forward at all."
After a while, the coachman finally couldn't bear the harassment of the refugees and climbed into the carriage in embarrassment to ask for help.
At least, judging from the behavioral standpoint, there doesn't seem to be any hostility, and it seems that he and Hong Yanzi are really not the same group.
Lin Xixue saw that her guess was correct, so she continued to ask: "You said before in the cave that the evil spirit was too strong and you could not recover your spiritual power. But now that you have left, why is it that you are still blocked from recovering your spiritual power?"
"Trouble." Bai Qing sighed, as if she was a little reluctant, "Give me the riding whip."
Could it be that Bai Qing couldn't fly so fast because she had to rest midway?
But logically speaking, as a righteous disciple, Bai Qing's spiritual power circulates continuously in her body, and she should not have to adjust her breath after flying dozens of miles away.
"Don't worry about it. If they insist on blocking the road, just let the horses step on it."
However, as soon as the refugee's hand opened the compartment curtain, he saw a flash of red light, and his fingers were instantly burned to coke.
The carriage advanced slowly and soon arrived at the city gate. The driver presented the seal of Yunzhou Prefecture to the gatekeeper, and he passed without any hindrance.
Others tried to open the windows of the carriage and put their sore-covered hands into the carriage.
"Master Immortal, here. They hugged the horse's legs, grabbed the horse's mane, and refused to move no matter how hard they whipped it. Some even bit the horse directly with their mouths, almost bleeding. The horse is too frightened now to dare.
It's moving."
Lin Xixue nodded, she understood the full story of the incident.
She huddled in the corner and shivered. She had always been well-dressed and well-fed throughout her time travel, but she had never seen such a bloody and terrifying scene.
"So, even in a place where the external spiritual energy is abundant, you still have to separate the evil energy mixed in it before breathing out. This causes the recovery rate of your spiritual energy to be lower than the consumption rate."
Xu Zhiyi had been sitting obediently aside, carefully analyzing the previous exchange between Lin Xixue and Bai Qing, but seeing this scene, she couldn't help but hide from the window.
The coachman's voice was trembling, and he seemed to be frightened by this group of refugees.
At this moment, not only did she not leave, she even grabbed Bai Qing's ankle.
Bai Qing's face flashed with surprise at first, and then returned to normal.
Bai Qing grabbed the riding crop, stood on top of the carriage, and shouted: "Everyone, there is no food in the carriage. Please leave. If you insist on blocking the carriage from moving forward, you will be responsible for your life or death."
However, these refugees were all going crazy with hunger. How could they leave quickly just because of Bai Qing's words?
"So you have to stop and rest every time you escape a certain distance. Is this because the evil spirit causes your spiritual energy consumption to fail to keep up with the recovery speed?"
Her mind went blank.
Unless, due to some reasons, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is far lower than the consumption, the spiritual energy in the body will quickly bottom out and have to rest.
Lin Xixue sat aside and didn't know how to comfort her. She could only pat her on the back and said, "If you want to vomit, just vomit. If you vomit it out and cry for a while, maybe it will be over."
Xu Zhiyi said nothing, just buried her head in her knees and shook her head.
After a while, the movement of the carriage became stable again. Bai Qing returned to the carriage and threw the riding crop covered with minced meat flakes in front of the groom.
"Okay, we're out of the refugee pile. You can continue driving."
The first chapter is delivered. Weiwei is a little sleepy today, so the efficiency is a bit low. The first chapter is a bit late, I’m really sorry (~￣▽￣)~
