"Stop for a while before leaving." Mu Hanyan said to Jiang Yuzhe.
Then close your eyes, gather all your mind, and feel everything outside your body.
Gradually, her mind sank into a void. Suddenly, Mu Hanyan's heart skipped a beat. Right on the right side of the carriage, the power of heaven and earth fluctuated slightly, quietly converging, forming a vortex that was not easy to be unnoticed, converging towards a certain place on the earth.
Usually, only masters above the Great Swordsman level can arouse the power of heaven and earth when they are promoted and break through. Ordinary practice is not enough to gather the power of heaven and earth in one place.
Could it be that a master has advanced? Immediately, Mu Hanyan denied his guess again. The fluctuation of the power of the sky and the earth was extremely subtle, and the vortex formed was also extremely inconspicuous. If it weren't for the repeated buzzing of the Hanxiao Sword, Mu Hanyan would not have been able to detect it. This is obviously completely different from the vastness and magnificence in which the power of heaven and earth gathers and surges around when a master is promoted.
Mu Hanyan raised her head and looked into the distance. Although she didn't know what was going on, Mu Hanyan could still be sure that the buzzing of the Hanxiao Sword must have something to do with it.
Huayue and the others followed Mu Hanyan's gaze, not knowing what she had discovered.
"There is a post road ahead." Jiang Yuzhe looked at the direction Mu Hanyan was looking at, and then at the side of the road ahead, and said.
After his reminder, Mu Hanyan and the others discovered that there was a post road hidden among the weeds ahead.
This post road is very old and spacious, but the roadside is overgrown with bushes, and even a big crooked tree grows in the middle of the road, obviously few people pass by.
"That should be the ancient commercial road leading to the Shangyue Kingdom. In the past, the Anyun Kingdom and the Shangyue Kingdom had good relations. This commercial road was once prosperous, but since the war between the Anyun Kingdom and the Shangyue Kingdom a thousand years ago, this commercial road has gradually been abandoned. " Qu Shanling looked up and said.
Although the battle between Anyun Kingdom and Shangyue Kingdom took place a thousand years ago, it was still widely spread among the people because it was so tragic. The former fraternal allies turned against each other overnight, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides died in battle. Although the two sides finally negotiated a peace and withdraw their troops, there was no longer the previous harmony. The commercial roads that were closed during the war were never opened again.
Of course, this is not the only business road that has been closed, but it is the most prosperous one, so Qu Shanling knows the origin.
"Yu Zhe, go and have a look." Mu Hanyan pointed to Shang Dao and said.
Of course, she is not interested in the ancient business road thousands of years ago, but because the place where the power of the earth gathers is in the direction where the ancient business road extends.
The ancient business road was built extremely wide, just enough to accommodate carriages. As for the shrubs on the side of the road and the big trees growing crookedly in the middle of the road, of course it was not a problem for them. Overcoming obstacles all the way, the speed of the carriage did not slow down much.
From time to time along the way, you can see ruined inns and teahouses, from which it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of this ancient commercial road in the past. To the slight surprise of Mu Hanyan and the others, they even encountered a few travel-worn swordsmen from time to time on the road. Judging by their attire, they should have gone out for training or returned from treasure hunting, and their faces were full of joy.
Thinking about it carefully, a few people found it not surprising. Anyun Kingdom is located on the side of the Longyan Mountain Range. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Even the Anyun Capital City is built on the middle of the mountain. Therefore, there are countless swordsmen who have gone to the Longyan Mountain Range to practice treasure hunting. Xucheng and other cities can directly enter the city of Longyan Mountain, and some other places can also enter the mountain.
However, most of these places are hidden and dangerous, but compared with Longxu City and other places, the rewards are often greater. If you guessed right, this ancient business road happened to be connected to a secret road into the Longyan Mountains somewhere, so although it was inaccessible, it hadn't been completely abandoned.
Later, the road was rough and narrow, and the carriage could no longer pass. Mu Hanyan found a forest and hid the carriage in it. The road was deserted, and he didn't worry about someone taking the sheep by the hand.
Then, several people walked forward along the business road.
In front, there was a faint sound of fighting, which seemed to be mixed with screams. Mu Hanyan's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace.
Not long after, an ancient village appeared in the sight. The broken stone wall was 70% similar to the ruins seen on the roadside. A village that was depressed and defeated due to the closure of commercial roads.
It stands to reason that this commercial road has become a dead end. Going forward, it leads to vast mountains and a large wasteland. There should be no people living in the town, but at this time, there are hundreds of villagers in shabby clothes holding swords. Confront a dozen or so men in swordsman outfits.
"Rong Tianhai, our Fang family has been cornered by your Rong family, and we finally found a shelter here. Do you, Rong family, insist on driving our Fang family to extinction?" An old man shouted angrily. .
A few young men fell beside him, curled up in pain, it seemed that their hands and feet had been discounted.
"Mr. Fang, it's not that our Rong family wants to drive you all to death. It's just that you chose the wrong place. This place has good feng shui, and my patriarch likes it, so I have no choice but to ask you to find another place to settle down." On the opposite side, the leader was a middle-aged man. The swordsman picked his teeth and said arrogantly.
"What good feng shui is it? It's clearly because of this Fang family market that you refused to give our Fang family a chance to survive!" the old man roared angrily.
It was only then that Mu Hanyan noticed that there was a very simple signboard at the entrance of the village: Fangjiashifang.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Hanyan roughly understood what was going on: the Fang family had an enmity with the Rong family, and was forced into desperation by the Rong family, so he had to leave his hometown to find another place to settle down, found this deserted village, and found some Swordsmen who experienced treasure hunting would pass by here, and Fangjiashifang was opened. The Rong family refused to give the Fang family a chance to stand up, and came to kill them again.
This kind of thing has happened a lot in the Holy Court Continent. If the Zhao family hadn't committed suicide by taking poison last time, the Mu family would never have given them a chance to make a comeback, so Mu Hanyan didn't have the mood to meddle in other people's business.
However, Mu Hanyan could feel that the vortex where the power of the earth gathered finally gathered somewhere in the village, so he didn't leave, but stood aside and watched coldly.
"Mr. Fang, I'm too lazy to talk to you. As long as your Fang family leave honestly today, I'll let you live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless." Rong Tianhai snorted coldly and said.
"Hehe, leave? Our Fang family's little surplus money is invested in this Fang family's market place, so what's the point of survival if we leave?" Mr. Fang said with a miserable smile.
"Then, don't blame me, Rong Tianhai, for being cruel." Rong Tianhai's expression turned cold, and several of his subordinates rushed towards the Fang family.
"Seventh rank of swordsman!" Mu Hanyan shuddered slightly.
