Chapter 95
After leaving Xiangcheng, Chen Xiu followed the official road all the way north and stopped by the inn by the roadside.
Chen Xiu had plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry to rush to travel, and to collect emotional energy.
After walking for two days, people's livelihood along the road was in decline and there were bones of starvation to death on the road.
On this day, I entered Nanye County.
Nanye County, located in the central and southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a prosperous and commercial county.
Lingbeast Mountain, one of the eight immortal gates, is located in the Hengduan Mountains in Nanye County.
Chen Xiu asked passers-by and walked north for about a few days, and it was Lingshi City, the capital of Nanye County.
Lingshi City was originally a market opened in Lingzhou Mountain, selling pets, martial arts and other specialties in Lingzhou Mountain.
Over time, a prosperous city has gradually formed.
Take the word "ling" in Lingbeast Mountain and the word "shi" in the market, and combine it to get the name "lingshi" in Lingbeast Mountain.
There must be many good things in Lingshi City, including the imperial pet technique. Chen Xiuben wants to enter the city to make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, I was short of money and left most of the money to my master before going out.
Chen Xiu was thinking about how to make money, but suddenly realized that there was another person behind him.
The man's figure was as fast as an arrow of energy. He approached in a blink of an eye and was about to pass by Chen Xiu, but he was an old man in gray.
The speed of the man in gray is rare since Chen Xiu debuted.
Chen Xiu never thought about the speed of competing with others. At this time, he became interested and used his strong true power. He took one step and led by the gray-clothed man several meters.
The man in gray was also a competitive person. He struggled to catch up, and Chen Xiu accelerated to lead.
Every time Chen Xiu slowed down a little, the man in gray would chase after him.
After trying several times, Chen Xiu knew that this person was very skilled, second only to his master Li Nanxuan among the people he had met.
Although Chen Xiu ran away seriously and was able to get rid of the man in gray, he became interested and only kept a slightly ahead of the man in gray. It depends on how long he could last.
Soon, the two of them ran for nearly a thousand miles, but they still remained unchanged.
The man in gray suddenly stopped and sighed, "I'm old and useless. If I run for another half an hour, I will lose to you."
"Senior has a long and powerful strength, and the outcome is unknown if he continues to compete." Chen Xiu said politely.
"Don't, with your skills, I am not worthy of being a senior, so I'm called me a friend." The man in gray waved his hand.
Chen Xiu thought to himself that this man in gray had a straightforward temperament.
The two slowed down.
"Dare you ask what you call a fellow Taoist? What school is his master?" said the man in gray.
Chen Xiu was about to answer, when a team of monks rushed towards him in a prison car, where an old man with a white-haired man was imprisoned.
"It's the man from Lingbeast Mountain." said the gray-clothed man.
Chen Xiu saw that the monks escorted were all wearing uniforms, and the corners of the uniform were painted with the spirit beast emblem. It seemed that he was a disciple of Lingbeast Mountain.
"I'm a good teacher, two friends, spread to the world of cultivation. I, Li Chengran, was wronged. I did not usurp the throne!" The old man with white hair shouted at Chen Xiu and the man in gray.
"I'll tell you again, I'll kick you to death!" A monk from the Spirit Beast Mountain next to him stretched out his leg and kicked him in the car.
"Why is it him? Is there a big mess in Lingbeast Mountain?" The man in gray frowned and thought.
"Who is it?" Chen Xiu asked.
"Li Chengran is the supreme elder of Lingbeast Mountain, and his status is only under the head of the sect." The man in gray explained.
Chen Xiu understood that Li Chengran was the deputy head of Lingzhou Mountain. Because of internal struggle, he was classified as usurping the throne and was locked up in a prison van. He didn't know where to escort him.
This is a matter inside Lingbeast Mountain, and it has nothing to do with Chen Xiu.
For Chen Xiu, the prison car passed by was just a small episode on the road, so he naturally would not meddle in other people's business.
At this moment, suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the sky.
"The mysterious dragon soars!"
"Xuan-Long-Teng-Xiang!"
There are four different voices, each voice uttering a word, shouting in unison, as if coming from the distant horizon.
Tengxiong means flying, rushing, and the meaning of these four words is a dragon flying.
Chen Xiu looked from a distance and saw dozens of red lights flying from the corner of the sky, surrounded by an exquisite and gorgeous flying beast car.
The car was nearly ten feet long and was engraved with a spell on it, emitting a faint white light.
In front of the car, there were four weird green birds pulling the cart. The monster bird was a human head and a bird's body, and the words "Xuanlong Tengxiong" were kept shouting in its mouth.
It turned out that the thunderous sound was shouted by the strange bird pulling the cart.
Although the Great Zhou royal family was weak, it was a bit bold to openly claim that they were dragons.
"Wang Xuanlong is here too." The old man in gray showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Who is Wang Xuanlong?" Chen Xiu asked.
The old man in gray looked at Chen Xiu in surprise, not understanding that this man had such a deep cultivation, but he seemed to not even understand some basic common sense.
"Wang Xuanlong is the eldest brother of Lingbeast Mountain, most of whom came for Li Chengran. Let's watch the fun." said the old man in gray.
Watching the fun, I am good at this. Chen Xiu touched Ah Xiu in his arms, but unfortunately he didn't bring any melon seeds.
The flying beast car arrived in a blink of an eye, hovering in the air, and the light faded. First, twelve monks in red descended and neatly arranged on both sides to form a passage.
Then a man with a tall crown and gorgeous clothes, handsome and elegant, with a one-horned man slowly descended to the ground along the passage.
Chen Xiu was so strange that he had seen many strange-shaped people or monsters, and this was the first time he had seen people with horns on his head.
Seeing that this person has a big show and has a strange appearance, he must be Wang Xuanlong, the eldest brother of Lingbeast Mountain.
"Xuanlong, I've been looking forward to you, save me!" Li Chengran choked up.
"You are so bold! The leader just ordered the expulsion of Uncle Li, who asked you to shut down the prison car?!" Wang Xuanlong scolded coldly.
The monk who escorted the prison car had already knelt all over the ground and was afraid to answer.
"Xuanlong, it's not their business. You are the most beloved disciple of the head. If you ask the head, I am wronged. My disciple Apu wanted to usurp the throne, so I refused him harshly... I have no intention of rebellion. I just want to be a beast in the Beast Valley to support my old age." Li Chengran opened the conversation and talked a lot.
Wang Xuanlong looked gentle and listened patiently.
Originally, Chen Xiu's first impression of this person was that he was arrogant and indifferent, but seeing that he could listen patiently, he had a little more favor.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will definitely plead for you to the leader. Let's go back to the mountain now, and you can go into the beast car to rest first." Wang Xuanlong said with a smile.
Li Chengran showed joy on his face and thanked him repeatedly. The two disciples helped him rise and flew towards the beast cart in the air.
"Li Chengran is dead." The old man in gray sighed in a low voice.
"No, didn't Wang Xuanlong agree to plead for him?" Chen Xiu said in confusion.
"Li said that he was innocent. This was a taboo for those in power. He said that he was innocent, but he was not guilty. If he was convinced, he would still have a chance of survival. If he didn't accept, he would die. Is he really innocent? It doesn't matter. Wang Xuanlong is the chief disciple of the head and is in the same group as the head. How could he plead for him?"
"The head of the sect, Gu Min, just exiled Li Chengran, and fell into the hands of Wang Xuanlong, who is famous for his harshness. Li Chengran is dead." The man in gray analyzed.
After hearing this, Chen Xiu thought it made some sense, but he also felt that Li Chengran might not be dead. He was curious about the end result.
But Chen Xiu wouldn't know whether the final result was as expected by the man in gray.
