Chapter Nineteen Across Thousands of Rivers and Mountains
Chen Guanshui left Baicheng and first went along the river to Chang'an.
The land outside the Great Wall is vast and vast. Most of the scenery is similar. There is nothing significant that can be used to find the way.
Unique landscape.
In addition, there is no magic similar to electronic maps in this world, so whether it is the Taiqing Sect cultivator in the Kunlun Mountains,
, the Shura Tao monks in Tiecheng Mountain, or those from other sects, are all accustomed to heading east along the river to find Chang'an, and then fly to other places - with the prosperity and magnificence of Chang'an, you can see everything clearly from a long distance Chu.
But Chen Guanshui flew for a moment and suddenly came to his senses.
I can think of going down the river and arriving at Chang'an first. Can Junior Sister Xu not think of it?
No! You have to change the direction!
He quickly turned south, abandoning his original steady route of following the river, and flew rapidly over mountains and hills, not knowing where he was heading.
The disadvantage of doing this is that you don't know where you are until you encounter the next human settlement.
But the advantage is also obvious: Junior Sister Xu and the Kunlun Sect behind her are also difficult to track themselves... so
The essence of the road is to run around. Even I don't know where I'm going, how can you possibly deduce it?
Chen Guanshui simply went all the way south, day and night, and kept wielding his sword.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally spotted a herdsman grazing sheep below him, so he landed on the ground in advance and pretended to be a traveler to ask for directions.
After asking the herdsmen, they found out that they had left the hinterland of the plateau and arrived at the Hengduan Mountains.
Because this place is on the edge of a plateau, the altitude difference is huge, and the spiritual energy is very thin. Monks and mortals rarely come here.
If you continue flying eastward along this point, as the altitude gradually decreases, the vegetation will obviously become more lush.
—It also entered the realm of Shushan.
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Guanshui to live in seclusion within the Shushan Mountains, so he just continued southward along the cross section and finally reached the northern border of Southern Xinjiang.
As the altitude drops, not only do the trees become more and more prosperous, but the vague miasma gradually thickens, looking like streamers flying in the forest from the air.
If you continue to go deeper, you will enter the boundary of Donghuang Road.
Among the six paths, except for the hell path where the divine dragon appears but never ends, the Eastern Emperor Path, which is surrounded by miasma all year round, is the most mysterious.
However, Chen Guanshui knew the foundation of the Donghuang Way very well: I don’t know how many years ago, the Jiaolong survivors from the Donghuang Realm secretly controlled the Donghuang Way and used it as a bridgehead to the human world.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the demon clan to counterattack. The Donghuang Realm itself is in chaos! Since there is no Emperor Yinglong, the rising Qilin clan cannot even surrender to the Nanzhou Yu clan, let alone unify the demon clan. .
Chen Guanshui estimated that the main purpose of this Donghuang Road was to plot against the person imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower... No
Now that he has no connection with Shushan, he can try to sneak into Donghuang Road and hide himself.
Walking along the edge of the miasma with his sword, he soon arrived at a small Miao town.
Miao and Han people lived together in the town. Chen Guanshui walked around for a while and found that there were quite a few drug stores.
It seems that the Miao people braved the miasma and went deep into southern Xinjiang to collect medicines and sell them to merchants from the Central Plains. That's why there are so many medicine shops in this town.
Chen Guanshui walked around boredly for a long time when he suddenly heard someone calling him on the roadside.
"Call me?" He pointed to himself.
"Yes, I am calling you." The person who called him was a wealthy middle-aged man who seemed to be a businessman.
With a smile on his face, he asked, "If what I have seen is correct, you should be a monk...am I right?"
"Hmm." Chen Guanshui said casually, "How can you tell?"
"Exalted Immortal, please take a look." The wealthy businessman pointed to a nearby passerby and said with a smile, "This person looks like an ordinary person at first glance.
And the family is poor."
Chen Guanshui looked closely and saw that the man was dusty, his sleeves were full of patches, and his temples were full of patches.
There are more traces of dust, wrinkles and sunburn on the back, obviously from people who have worked hard all year round.
"Look again." The wealthy businessman pointed to another passerby and said with a smile, "This person is a businessman at first glance."
Chen Guanshui followed his guidance and looked again, and saw that the man was relatively neatly dressed, but his face was full of vigilance, and there were two strong men standing beside him.
He thought for a moment and then suddenly realized.
There are two kinds of people in this town, one is the poor who have little money, and the other is the rich who have a little money and are afraid of being robbed by the poor - after all, it is a border place where Miao and Han people live together, and the government has difficulty
Management, violence is above the law, and most wealthy people will hire a few guards.
And since he didn't look like a poor man, but he was alone without any guards around him, there was only one reasonable explanation: he was strong enough and not afraid of any robbers.
However, since this wealthy businessman can guess his identity at a glance, he must have met the monk before.
So Chen Guanshui stopped being perfunctory and went straight to the point and asked:
"What do you want from me?"
"Shangxian, although the younger one also brought some guards, they don't have any magic power." The wealthy businessman held his hands and smiled.
"If the Immortal is free..."
He quietly raised his sleeves, revealing half of the spiritual stone inside.
Chen Guanshui couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this. I'm already at the Nascent Soul realm, and there are still people using spiritual stones to hire me. But the people around me are just doing nothing... He asked calmly:
"Let's not talk about remuneration for now. What are you hiring me for? You have to ask this clearly first."
"I'm going to Yulong Mountain to do some business," the wealthy businessman said with a smile on his face.
Yulong Mountain is where Donghuang Road is located. What kind of business did this wealthy businessman do in the past? He must have had some sort of deal with some people on Donghuang Road, but he was afraid that the other party would seek wealth and death, so he hired me to accompany him.
Chen Guanshui knew what he knew, so he nodded and said:
"That's fine, but the miasma is dense in this southern border. As ordinary people, if you can't pass through the miasma, you won't be able to make the journey."
"Don't worry, Immortal." The wealthy businessman immediately expressed his stance, "The younger ones have already come from the local Miao people to restrain the miasma.
There is absolutely no problem with using poisonous methods."
Chen Guanshui asked him many questions again, and after making sure that this person was indeed just a businessman, he nodded and agreed.
Following the wealthy businessman to the warehouse, three men soon walked out carrying luggage.
Chen Guanshui took a closer look and confirmed that one of them was a porter, carrying the heaviest and heaviest package.
The other two were both capable and skilled men of the world, and they carried sabers, bows and arrows with them. Judging from the shape of their clothes, sp; he was sizing up each other, and the other was also sizing him up, but they were strangers to each other, so they didn't speak to each other.
The wealthy businessman and one of the men gave some instructions, and everyone took their packages and started traveling.
When they reached the edge of exhaustion, the wealthy businessman and others took out the antidote - a gray pill. They put it in their mouths without swallowing it, but just held it at the base of their tongues.
The wealthy businessman wanted to give Chen Guanshui a pill, but he refused with a wave of his hand.
The so-called poison of miasma is actually the poison of Yimu. No matter how much it invades the body, it only needs to circulate the divine light of the Five Elements in the meridians to remove it all.
Seeing that Chen Guanshui could breathe freely in the miasma without medicine, one of the two guarding men called the wealthy businessman in private and said worriedly:
"Sir, where did you invite this great god?"
"How do you say that?" the wealthy businessman asked with a frown.
"He's not afraid of miasma at all," the guard said.
"Isn't it normal for practitioners to not be afraid of miasma?" The wealthy businessman was puzzled.
"It can't be that simple!" the guard quickly explained, "Shushan Sword Immortal, do you know? It's more than halfway.
It’s coming again in a month.”
"Why do they always choose winter?
Season to fight? Because the miasma recedes in late winter, so there is no need to worry about detoxification... Even the Shushan Sword Immortal cannot deal with the miasma, but this person can actually treat it as nothing, how can it be compared to ordinary monks?"
"This..." The wealthy businessman also hesitated immediately.
The price he negotiated with this man was not high among the monks he had hired before! If this man's cultivation level was very powerful, why did he only use a few spiritual stones to get it done?
Or does this person not care about spiritual stones at all? Is he eyeing my goods?
"I don't agree with what my brother said." Another guard also came over and said loudly, "Sword Immortal Shushan
If they are afraid of miasma, why aren’t the local Miao people afraid? Could it be that the Miao people are more powerful than the Shushan Sword Immortal?”
"That's right!" The wealthy businessman suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Whether you can deal with miasma depends on the method rather than the method.
It’s about strength, it’s just like the secret of doing business. It’s difficult for those who don’t know how to do it, but it’s not difficult for those who can do it. It doesn’t mean anything.”
The older guard was speechless, but he still insisted:
"Sir, I can't say for sure. I've traveled all over the country for so many years, and I still have a good eye for people. This man is definitely not an ordinary monk. We'll find out later on."
"Looking at people?" The wealthy businessman was happy, "How do you look at people as much as me? Sir, I'm in business!"
"I didn't mean that, I meant the level of danger..."
The three of them hid in the back and discussed, while the porter carried the luggage in silence the whole time.
Chen Guanshui walked at the front, holding the Suming Sword in his hand and using it as a hatchet to split the branches and roots blocking the road.
If this scene were seen by everyone in Shushan, they would definitely be furious: You have abused the Fuxi Divine Sword like this?
"Say." Chen Guanshui had a sudden idea and asked Suming Swordsman, "Is there any way to make the sun's true fire disappear?"
At the same time as it was extinguished, you also got the Sun Sword of Truth?"
If the True Fire of the Sun is extinguished, then there will no longer be a barrier between the Eastern Emperor Realm and the Cultivation Realm. If the Eastern Emperor Realm invades from the gate of Tiancha Realm, the karma caused may be all on his head.
Because of this, it was difficult for Chen Guanshui to get the Sun True Sword.
"I don't know." Su Mingjian said thoughtfully, "Maybe we can try the formation?"
"The formation won't work." Chen Guanguo categorically objected, "To deal with the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower or the chaos in the center of the earth, it's all because of
He is a dead thing for the other party."
"But the Eastern Emperor Realm is full of living demons. If we use an unchanging formation to seal the gate, sooner or later it will be penetrated and cracked by the opponent."
"Then I don't know what to do." Su Mingjian replied.
Hearing what it said, Chen Guanshui sighed several times and said, "If Ajing were here, I wouldn't be helpless!"
"Fart!" Su Mingjian said immediately, "The Gate of Heaven is a primitive remnant, a thing from the same era as Tianqiong.
Son, what can she do?"
"Sir Sword Master, you already have the Suming Sword, so don't try to plot the True Sword, okay? I can solve the difficult problems that he can solve; he can't do anything that I can't solve, so you bother to deal with him
What’s the point of getting it?”
"You don't understand this." Chen Guanshui said leisurely, "He can be useless, but I can't be useless. What does it mean to be open?"
Do you know the illustrated book?"
"If you want him to hear this, I have to kill you with a sword." Su Mingjian complained.
"Where do you think Ah Jing will be now?" Chen Guanshui asked casually.
"I don't know." Su Mingjian said, "Maybe the cat is refining the Sky Mending Stone somewhere."
"Didn't she tell you her whereabouts before she left?" Chen Guanshui asked tentatively.
"No." Sumingjian answered readily.
"Really not?" Chen Guanshuihu asked.
"It's not true." Su Mingjian chuckled, "She said she ran to hide in the deep sea directly below the East China Sea sky leak.
—
Once you refine the Sky-Mending Stone, you can immediately mend the Sky-Mending Stone. It depends on you, Lord Sword Master, whether you believe it or not."
"I don't believe it." Chen Guanshui said immediately, "The world is so big that there is no good place to hide. You have to hide in the sky."
, I have to go back to China to collect it, how troublesome it is!”
"Humph." Su Mingjian saw that he couldn't deceive him, so he smiled and said, "Sword Master, you are right, this world is so big.
, she could hide anywhere."
"But if we want to mend the sky, she will have to go where the sky leaks sooner or later, so you are right to squat her there."
"Let's talk about it later," Chen Guanshui waved his hand and said.
He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, vaguely remembering that from here through the valley in front, and then across two rivers, was the location of Jinghu Shrine.
Chen Guanshui couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the time when he disguised himself as Wei Dongliu and went to explore the Jinghu Shrine with his friends.
In the past, he was just a young monk at the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation level was pitifully low, but he had Witch Jiang by his side, chatting and laughing all the way.
Now I am the elder of Nascent Soul, and Witch Jiang has also turned into a demon. The relationship between the two has broken down, and they will never see each other again. How sad!
"Shangxian?" Seeing him stopping there for a long time, the wealthy businessman asked cautiously.
"It's okay, let's go." Chen Guanshui waved his hand and said.
On the other side, in Shu Mountain.
As the day of the Southern Expedition approaches, many sword immortals have begun to prepare for the expedition.
The foundation-building monks want to obtain the Zifu elixir from southern Xinjiang, and the Jindan master wants to use fighting to break through the bottleneck. Even the Nascent Soul elders are organized and plan to go to the gate of that day to see if they can get it from the last Sun Sword Master.
I got the True Sword there.
It is a traditional program every year, and this year is no exception.
An Zhisu sat quietly under the tree in front of Qingbo Peak Road, with the Fei Yan Sword placed flat on her knees.
The old accumulation on the top of the head has been removed, there is no green leaves on it, and it is as rough as rock.
Her hair is all white, without any impurities in it, and is as heavy as snow.
Suddenly, An Zhisuye raised his head and looked to the south.
Her gaze led across Zhangshanzhou Ridge and fell under the clouds on the horizon, flying over a long distance like a flapping eagle.
