The journey from Qingzhou City to the royal capital, Jinxiu City, is a long way, a million miles away.
For Chen Xi, it would only take three days to fly at such a distance using the wings of the stars.
But he didn't do that.
As the most terrifying assassination organization in the world, Hei Rilou is so powerful that even the royal family of the Chu Dynasty has no choice but to turn a blind eye and want to deal with itself, so it will definitely not miss this point.
Chen Xi even suspected that under the sky between Qingzhou and Jinxiu City, the Black Sun Tower might have laid a dragnet. Once he was exposed in the air, he would inevitably be robbed and killed in the most deadly way.
Therefore, out of caution, Chen Xi decided to choose to travel on land.
In this way, although the journey is more than twice as slow, there are obviously more things on the land that can cover the tracks compared to the sky where there is nothing to hide. Mountains, jungles, rivers, cities... If used well, they can all hide their traces perfectly.
Qingzhou and Jinxiu City are separated by dozens of cities, the largest of which are Moyun City, Tuomu City and Leicheng, and the others are all medium-sized cities.
Moyun City, Tuomu City, and Leicheng are like barriers surrounding Jinxiu City, distributed in a semicircle. Tuomu City is in the middle, Moyun City is to the east and borders the East China Sea, and Leicheng is to the west and borders the Lei Sea in the far west. .
There are three routes between Qingzhou City and Jinxiu City because of these three cities.
Among them, the route to Tuomu City is the shortest and safest route. There are many cities along the way and there are no dangerous places. Most people will choose this route.
The route to Moyun City is second, the distance is twice as far as that of Tuomu City, and it requires a detour in the middle, crossing several dangerous rivers. There are also people traveling on this route, but they are all chambers of commerce, because Moyun City is the second route. Yuncheng borders the East China Sea, and many precious treasures rich in the East China Sea can be purchased along the route.
The route to Leicheng is the most dangerous of the three. It was even abandoned hundreds of years ago. No one is willing to risk their lives by getting involved in it.
The reason for this is that from Qingzhou to Leicheng and then to Jinxiu City, there are almost all dangerous and terrifying mountains, ancient forests where monsters are rampant, and extremely cold places where ice storms roar... In short, this On the route, there is almost no safe place except danger.
As early as hundreds of years ago, there were still some scattered monks who had strong strength and tried to challenge the limit and set foot on this murderous route. However, in the end, no one survived, and no one successfully reached Leicheng. Then enter Jinxiu City. So since then, this route has been abandoned, and few people dare to set foot on it.
However, there are exceptions. Some extremely vicious bandits and villains who are wanted by various sects will also take this route when they are forced to use the various dangers to evade pursuit. He has indeed avoided all kinds of wanted arrests and pursuits. However, doing so is actually similar to seeking death.
Because so far, no desperado has been seen coming out of it!
However, all of this was an unexpected surprise for Chen Xi. In his opinion, walking in these extremely dangerous and murderous places was indeed very dangerous, but because of this, he could make use of these dangerous places. Dangerous, to deal with Hei Rilou's robbery and murder against him.
In other words, this route is completely a natural battleground of life and death!
When fighting here, any variables may occur, and as long as I make good use of these variables, it is not impossible to completely crush this black sun robbery.
So when he saw these routes on the map, Chen Xi took a fancy to this route almost at a glance, and decided to start from Qingzhou, pass through Leicheng, and go straight to Jinxiu City!
Half a month has passed since the end of the Golden Pool Conference.
On this day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. A red-scaled treasure car, pulled by thirteen red-scaled unicorns, left Qingzhou City at lightning speed.
Sitting on the soft and hard seat, Chen Xi looked around carefully.
The red-scale treasure chariot he was riding in was a hundred feet long and about ten feet wide, and could accommodate more than a hundred people. This kind of treasure car belongs to the Chu Soul Guard of the Great Chu Dynasty. It is a means of transportation specially used to transport guests between cities. Not only monks, but ordinary people can also ride on it after paying a fee.
It is said that on top of the Red Scale Treasure Cart, there is also a large treasure car, the Lengyue Treasure Cart, which can accommodate a thousand people. It has strong protective power and is very comfortable, but it is relatively expensive. But this is not the reason why Chen Xi did not choose the Cold Moon Treasure Car. The real reason is that the procedures for taking the Cold Moon Treasure Car are very strict, and Chen Xi does not want to have his traces exposed as soon as he leaves Qingzhou City.
Although the defensive power of the Red Scale Treasure Chariot can only be considered average, it is also guarded by about ten monks. They are members of the Chu Soul Guard and represent the will of the Chu Dynasty. Therefore, few rogue bandits will attack the Red Scale Treasure. car idea.
After all, such behavior is tantamount to provoking the dignity of the Chu Dynasty. If you dare to do this, you can expect to suffer the revenge of the entire Chu Dynasty!
Of course, there will always be no shortage of desperadoes in this world, but fortunately, the red scale treasure car does not have much oil and water. Most of the guests riding it are mortals with empty pockets and lack of financial resources, so there are not many thieves interested in it. .
Chen Xi noticed that the guards on this red-scale treasure car were quite powerful. They all had capable expressions and were very capable. Their strength was probably around the Golden Core realm. With them around, at least until they arrived at Fire Crow Town, this He doesn't need to worry about safety on the road.
Fire Crow Town is eight thousand miles away from Qingzhou City. From there, you can pass through Fire Crow Town and enter the Dark Forest. As long as you set foot in the dark forest, you are on the route to Leicheng.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Xi slowly stretched his muscles and bones, feeling that the power of his spiritual consciousness had almost returned to its optimal state. Last night, he had just used up the materials he had purchased for making talismans. He hurriedly hurriedly made the seventh high-level talisman in the early hours of the morning. Without any delay, he boarded the red-scale treasure cart without any delay.
Moreover, Mu Kui has now entered the Pagoda of Pagoda to practice, so Chen Xi is now traveling alone.
"Brother, are you a monk?" A young child's voice sounded in my ears, the voice was very small. This was a little boy of about six or seven years old. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked very ordinary. He only had one pair of dark and bright eyes. When he looked at Chen Xi, his eyes were full of curiosity.
This is obviously the child of a secular mortal, and his family conditions do not seem to be very good, as can be seen from the coarse cloth clothes he wears.
Chen Xi was stunned, then nodded with a smile. It can be seen that the little boy is a little nervous, as if he is afraid of offending himself. Perhaps in his heart, monks must be like gods, unattainable, capable of making wind and rain, flying in the clouds, and omnipotent.
In fact, in this world, secular mortals still account for the vast majority, and the number of monks is only a small minority among them. They get up in the morning to work and return home late to sleep. They are unable to escape birth, old age, illness and death, and cannot control their own destiny. Perhaps after a few decades, they will turn into a cup of loess, and their lives will be like earthworms, short and ordinary.
However, it is these mortals who make up the world of mortals and the various states of the world. In the final analysis, monks are also transformed from mortals.
Therefore, in Chen Xi's heart, there is no abnormal concept that ordinary people are like grass and can be trampled on by anyone.
As if being infected by Chen Xi's smile, the little boy's nervousness subsided for the most part. He took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to ask, "Brother, can you help me practice?"
"Why do you want to practice?" Chen Xi was dumbfounded. He was about to face an unprecedented robbery. In this case, how could he agree to the little boy
The little boy said without thinking: "My brother's qualifications are better than mine. He is now practicing in Nandu City. I'm afraid that he will become a god in the future and never see him again, so I also want to practice. It's a pity that my father said that my qualifications are not good enough." No, my family’s financial resources are not enough for me to practice again, so…”
As he said that, the little boy looked obviously gloomy.
Chen Xi was startled and fell silent. He thought of himself and his brother, and of his grandfather Chen Tianli's decision. The only difference was that he had already embarked on the path of cultivation at that time, but the little boy in front of him had not taken a single step. . If he didn't help him, he might just be a stranger to his brother for the rest of his life.
Because monks and mortals are different after all.
"This is a qi-refining technique. You should be careful not to let others discover it. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. You must remember it," Chen Xi said with a smile. He had a lot of qi-refining techniques on his body. , all were looted from the enemy's corpses, and a simple and easy-to-understand basic magic formula was selected from them and handed over to the little boy.
The little boy was stunned, as if he did not expect that "immortal fate" would come to him so easily. It took him a long time to realize it, and he quickly and carefully hid the jade slip in his personal clothes, and said with excitement: "Big brother... "
Chen Xi interrupted: "Don't thank me. Practice hard. Not only will you become stronger in the future, but you will also take good care of your younger brother and parents. Do you understand? Also, this is a secret between the two of us. Don't let the second Two people know."
The little boy nodded firmly: "I will, please don't worry, big brother."
Chen Xi smiled and said no more, because he had already seen that the little boy's father had woken up from his sleep and was staring at him suspiciously.
"We'll arrive at Fire Crow Town in a quarter of an hour. Where did you get off the bus, right?" At this moment, a guard came over and asked Chen Xi.
Chen Xi nodded, and he felt keenly that there was a hint of strangeness in the guard's expression.
"Fire Crow Town? God, isn't that a place where demons gather?"
Someone exclaimed, and with this exclamation, the guests sitting next to Chen Xi moved away one by one, like snakes and scorpions. Even the little boy was held far away by his father.
Everyone looked at Chen Xi with a hint of fear, suspicion, and disgust, which was extremely weird.
Chen Xi understood everything immediately. Fire Crow Town was not peaceful, and was even extremely chaotic. Since it was the only entrance to the Dark Forest, it was also the entrance to the third route from Qingzhou City to Jinxiu City, so naturally Many vicious bandits and bandits have gathered together. Most of those monks are wanted criminals of the Great Chu Dynasty. Once they find out something is wrong, they will sneak into the dark forest to avoid pursuit.
In the eyes of everyone outside, Fire Crow Town is naturally chaotic and is simply a place where criminals belong.
Obviously, the "demon" in the mouth of these mortals at this moment must be describing those bandits and bandits, and when they heard that they were going to Fire Crow Town, they obviously regarded themselves as such people.
Soon, the red scale treasure car stopped, and Chen Xi immediately walked out of the car.
"This monster is finally gone!"
"It's so scary that we are sitting on the same red-scale treasure car as the demon."
"Yes, it is said that demons can transform into human forms, and they love to eat people's hearts. It's very scary!"
As soon as Chen Xi got out of the car, everyone seemed to have seen off a god of plague. They breathed a sigh of relief and started talking one after another.
"Big brother is not a monster! In my heart, Lin Hao, big brother is a real god, and I will definitely repay him in the future." Only the little boy was lying on the edge of the car window, staring at Chen Xi's back, as if to Imprint his image in your mind and remember it for the rest of your life.
