Stray Chapter 9: It’s all bumped together
From Jimo to Huangshan, it is not too far away if you take a straight line.
Xia Ran didn't spend too much time on the road, although his flying speed was not even moderate, it was just over the speed of sound——
What's really scary are those sword cultivators of the Qionghua faction. They fly everywhere at supersonic speeds, such as Huai Shuo and Xuanji, who can fly from Chenzhou City to the sowing at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Xianzhen, or the kind that brings people together...
This means that in less than an hour, they can appear anywhere in the vast land of China.
It is also fortunate that Swordsmanship is a mode of transportation that very few people have mastered, so there is no need for any air traffic control. Otherwise, I don't know how many terrible plane collisions will happen.
Of course, only the Qionghua faction has such a brutal performance.
Perhaps it is also because the practice concept of this school has always been based on the unity of the human and the sword, and it has always respected the secret technique of sword casting, so it can be so terrifying in sword control, right?
After all, the entire sect is a concept, a system, from the head of the sect to the elders, down to the disciples, developing for hundreds of years and passing on dozens of generations, basically all specializing in the development of the same direction, even exhausted Three generations of human and material resources have made two fairy swords, or two magic swords, that can fight against gods and demons...
Compared with this, the Shushan Xianjian Sect during this period felt somewhat unreal, because its predecessor was the "Shushan League", an alliance of various sects in Shushan.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant conflicts and disputes among the various sects in Shushan. Under the advocacy of the largest Xianjian faction, the monks of Shushan held a conference on the summit of Shushan and formed an alliance. Later, they were gradually led by the most powerful Xianjian faction. , unified into one sect.
Integration can indeed enhance combat effectiveness, but it also leads to some inevitable confusion. For example, each sect has its own purpose and philosophy, as well as a unique set of methods for cultivating immortals——
Xianjian sect focuses on martial arts and swordsmanship, and other sects' predecessors' practice methods such as alchemy and bait are not excluded. Although the entire sect is said to be the "Xianjian" sect of Shushan, in fact, sword training is only among the entire sect. Just one of many ways of practicing.
However, Xia Ran's flying skills were probably as slow as a snail compared to her.
The magician finally arrived at the boundary of Huangshan Mountain when the sun was setting and the afterglow was slantingly reflecting the earth. It could have been a little earlier, but he had to constantly adjust the proofreading direction on the way to confirm that he had not taken the wrong route, which delayed some time.
——It's really not going all the way south, flying straight with your head sullen, and you can easily reach your destination without caring about anything.
He has no navigation, and most of the world is a primitive environment. It is really not that simple to find a specific mountain in the vast land. You can only stop and go on the way. , ask the people in the towns and villages you meet, collect information and adjust the direction.
Of course, I also did some good deeds along the way. After all, this is an ancient world with immortal style, and immortal style is only the superstructure, and the foundation below is still an intriguing arena.
Whether it's Xia Ran, who is dressed in a simple robe, but looks more or less fancy, but is obviously not rich but noble;
It's still the head maid next to him wearing a traditional maid outfit, with a ruffled skirt, ribbon bows, and a plain long one-piece dress. The black and white set off extremely stunningly.
It is obvious that both of them are easy to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives, and when they walk together, they are even more likely to turn heads.
So more or less, it will always attract some heroes who "see injustice on the road" and "rob the rich to help the poor" to defend justice, attack the **** like him, and save the innocent girl who was mutilated from his side... /
It's just that these people don't know at all, a magician who can easily make others ignore his presence and his companions, and leave no impression at all, if he doesn't do such an operation.
It's not because he made some low-level mistakes, but because he's just fishing for law enforcement.
Anyway, in this way, Xia Ran attacked several groups of heroes and heroes along the way, and by the way harvested some silver notes, silver taels, copper coins and other currencies in this world, which can be said to serve multiple purposes...
Of course, money is something outside the body, so he didn't handle it, and he didn't know how much, but he just managed it directly to his head maid.
"Go up the mountain and see what time it is..."
Thinking of this, Xia Ran, who had been staring at Qingluan Peak with beautiful scenery and far away from people, withdrew his gaze. He turned his head and said to the quiet, puppet-like head maid behind him.
There is no expression on the delicate face of the head maid, she just nodded slightly and replied softly with a clear voice: "Okay, master."
It doesn't make sense to talk or not to talk. She will never object to her master's thoughts and decisions, but Xia Ran is still intentionally communicating with her from time to time. He also wants to see if his alchemy doll really has What are the feelings like.
Looking at the mountain ahead again, the magician couldn't help but guess who he would see when he went up.
Now he is not sure what time period it is. Xia Yuanchen has just become a scholar Xia in Jimo, and he has not adopted his former wife reincarnated as a daughter... and that scholar Xia hasn't come back yet, I don't know. where to go.
So he can only further confirm this by confirming the status of the current protagonist group, which is also one of the reasons for his trip this time, and it is very necessary.
……
……
Qingluan Peak.
This mountain is one of the thirty-six peaks of Huangshan Mountain. It is located in the northeast of Zhusha Peak and southeast of Tiandu Peak. It is named because the entire mountain is shaped like a green luan.
The peak is full of pines and cypresses, quiet and dusty, and there are mountain springs flying straight down, spraying beads and splashing jade, dense fog, and slowly scattered in the green mountains and valleys, which can be called the wonders of the world. Almost all the majestic and precipitous mountains of Huangshan can be found here.
And in the thick forest on the top of Qingluan Peak, there is a towering giant tree with intertwined roots and towering branches, growing on the edge of the cliff. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a pine house next to the tree that someone doesn't know who built it.
The twilight has quietly fallen, covering the entire mountain, only the last glimpse of the setting sun in the distance still caresses the horizon nostalgically.
Yun Tianqing, dressed in simple coarse clothes, still stood quietly on the edge of the cliff and looked at the distant scenery, but her heart was not very calm.
He knew that his death was coming, and he had set up a tomb for himself, preparing to bury himself and Suyu together tomorrow night.
After all, his son is still young and ignorant. It is impossible for him to do all this by himself. Yun Tianqing can only arrange his own affairs.
Thinking of this, Yun Tianqing, who was still young, couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had already talked to his son this morning. Just as he expected, the young Tianhe didn't understand leaving at all. What does the world mean.
In the past few years, he has not taught Tianhe too many things, and his reading and literacy have been delayed. He just told Tianhe a lot of life principles, but he did not want Tianhe to go down the mountain, nor did he teach him to practice—
Although I feel that Tianhe has been in the mountains and forests all the time, why bother to walk in the secular world;
Secondly, it was also because he was being attacked by the icy cold energy. He was very afraid of cold, often coughed up blood, and spent a lot of time every day to suppress it, but he was still dying, and he didn't have time to teach Tianhe more things.
"Over the years, I have never let him go down the mountain, and I don't know if I did right or wrong..." Yun Tianqing muttered to himself, staring at the last bit of sunset on the far horizon, sinking into the group. behind the mountain.
Night has fallen completely.
At this time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Tianhe has not come back. Usually, although this kid jumped up and down, and had a good time with the monkeys and wild boars in the mountains, he never did. Don't forget meal time.
It would be better to say that three meals a day is what this kid is most concerned about, and after provoking a big loss to the white-fronted tiger in the mountains last time, this kid should know how to avoid some dangers. Right... I haven't come back yet, what happened?
Yun Tianqing's brows furrowed, and when he sensed something was wrong, his face became cold. He turned around and walked into the pine house behind him. After a while, when he came out again, he held an extremely strange long handle sword.
The whole body is crystal blue like black ice, and the attached fluorescent light is as clear as autumn water.
It is one of the two swords that Qionghua's line of sword-casting elders has gone through for three generations.
Yun Tianqing thought he would never use it again in his life, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Although he is not the host and cannot stimulate the huge spiritual power in the sword, the power and personality of the sword itself are there, which cannot be underestimated.
Not long after Yun Tianqing disappeared at the top of Qingluan Peak with a long sword, two ghostly figures suddenly appeared on the top of the peak.
They were like a vague and erratic shadow, silently touching the pine hut under the cover of the night that had just fallen.
Because the house was primitive and could not hide anything, the two searched quickly, then went out of the house and went straight to the giant tree next to the sky. Because above the giant tree, there is also a tree house cleverly hidden, and it is easy to ignore the past if you are not careful.
However, the result was again nothing, only some herbs were stored in the tree house and nothing else.
"Could it be that Yun Tianqing set up the tomb and put the notebook and Lingguang Zaoyu in advance?"
A female voice sounded, and the speaker showed her figure, but it was a tall woman wearing a black tights of unknown material, showing a slender figure.
"It's very possible that, while the man is now attracting his attention, we'll find out by searching the burial chamber."
Another almost identical voice sounded, and another group of shadows also revealed her figure. It was also a woman with long hair and a black tights, whose style was out of tune with this world.
The two seem to be twins, almost identical, and have been holding each other's hands all the time, inseparable.
"Speaking of which, I think that guy is a little neurotic. It is clear that Yun Tianqing will die by himself as long as he waits for a while, but he is stunned to go up the mountain at this time to fight a dying man..."
The woman who spoke first sighed, seeming to doubt the reliability of the other ally.
"I think he's very attractive!" retorted the other of the twins, who disagreed, "He's very clear-headed, he really knows what he wants, and only constant challenge is strong. Only by defeating those people one by one as stepping stones can we reach the top..."
"Is it a challenge to bully the dying?"
"Yun Tianqing is just about to die, and his state is not good. His cultivation base is really there. Of course he is a strong man... And only by killing these important plot characters who are about to die will the world not be repulsive. It's increasing too fast!"
"Cut, what if he overturned..."
"Impossible, you should know him..."
The twins noisily descended the treehouse and headed straight for a hidden cave hidden behind the Peak Falls.
……
……
At the same time, Ziyun came down.
Yun Tianqing's face was stern, looking at the figure appearing on the mountain road ahead: "Where is my son?"
That is a gentle man, his style of painting is probably the most suitable for this world, full of antiquity, long hair loose, and handsome. Facing Yun Tianqing's questioning, the man picked up a wild flower beside the mountain road and put it under his nose to sniff:
"Don't worry, I didn't hurt him... But as a price, you have to fight with me. If you can leave alive, so what if you go to your son..."
"Huh?" Yun Tianqing frowned, this person seems to be targeting him?
"Yes, use your life to prove my path, this is my purpose..." The gentle man said with a slight smile.
"You are really arrogant." Yun Tianqing suddenly felt amused.
"I haven't really fought, how do you know if I'm arrogant?" The gentle man smiled, and his aura suddenly became extremely domineering, "As long as I want to win, I will never lose!"
