Chapter 43 The accident happened suddenly
The ten-year trade fair of the Tianshan Shenchi Palace lasts for three days. The basic process is that merchants travel thousands of miles to bring various materials here. On the first day, stores and inner palaces purchase and purchase them. On the second day, merchants with wallets are rising and start to have money to visit the trade fairs, and replace these coins with various magical tools and elixirs they need. On the third day, the transactions will drop sharply, and merchants will gradually go down the mountain and leave here.
This day was the second trading day, so the crowds in the trading venue were even more dense and endless. I probably looked at it, but I didn’t see anything worth noting. I also brought the little white fox out of the city.
When you pass through the Tianhe Farm by the lake, the sun above you is warm and it feels very comfortable when shining on people, and you are a little drowsy and lazy.
Outside the mountain gate at this moment, heavy snow covers the mountain, and severe cold can make people unable to move. However, in this cave secret realm, it is like spring all year round. Although the sun above my head does not seem real, what I said that day is true. Putting aside other words, this place is really a heaven and earth.
The land by the lake is vast, and the cultivation forests in the distance are even more overlapping. The layer outside is actually cut down, with many tree stumps and traces of human activities. I know yew, ginkgo, pine, birch, red pine, fire-avoiding banana, Baishanzu fir, red sandalwood, yellow rosewood, chicken wenge and other precious woods that appear at various latitudes. It makes people sigh at the uniqueness here. After we passed the large area of land by the lake and entered the forest, the little white fox next to us could no longer hide the joy in our hearts, jumped onto the tall branches, jumped around, and was very happy.
Shortly after I entered the forest, I heard a light sound of horse hooves coming from the west, in the direction of the Ice City. I hid my body behind the tree trunk and observed carefully.
Not long after, Captain Kashyapa of the Running Team appeared in my sight. He rushed into the forest and was almost near me. Suddenly, he pulled out a short spear from the horse and observed it left and right, and seemed very alert.
I came here to meet him, and I no longer pretended to be mysterious and consuming trust. So I flashed out from behind the tree trunk and bowed to the man from afar and said, "Brother Kashyapa, the aspiration is polite."
Seeing my figure appear, the captain of the team breathed a sigh of relief, took back his spear, drove the horse to me and jumped down, bowed to me and said, "I just thought why I was so scared in my heart. It turned out that Brother Chen is here, I am so respectful."
He didn't have to be so polite, but I took action the day before yesterday to make the Black Crow and the son-in-law of the God Ike Palace, Long Zai Tian, look like that. Although General Ashina and him dare not admit it for some reasons, my strength can be somewhat guessed. Strength is the basis and guarantee of all interactions. With such a record, even the most powerful armed team of the God Ike Palace must be looked up.
After the two of them greeted each other for a while, Kashyapa then expressed his question: "Brother Chen, it's not me that I have been patrolling this dense forest for more than 20 years. I thought I could not hide any movement from my eyes. Why did you just restrain your breath and not emit any fluctuations?"
Speaking of this, I showed him the escape ring in my hand, and then said, "This thing was bought with five thousand shell coins on the trading field yesterday. It can restrain my breath and be convenient to use it."
Kashyapa was also surprised and asked loudly: "Is this a middle-aged man who sells this thing all over the body?"
I nodded and said yes. Kashyapa shook his head and sighed, "Ma Er is really a prodigal son. This treasure passed down from his ancestors only sells five thousand shell coins. It's really..."
Hearing him say this, I felt a little loss in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask in surprise: "This thing is very valuable, why do I feel that there are a lot of people in my hands?"
Kashyapa said: "This thing is the most proud work of Ma Laoliu, the weapon refiner of Shenchi Palace two hundred years ago. As long as it is used properly, even if the one below comes, you may not be able to find you. Are you awesome? This thing, except for the ones circulating outside and collected in the inner palace, there are only ten pieces of this thing passed down from the ancestors of the Ma family, and its value is immeasurable. Unfortunately, Ma Er, with India's Asan, was involved in the bad habit of smoking opium. The Ma family has been weak since then and has been kept pawning the property, otherwise it would not be so cheap..."
I didn't expect that some people in the Shenchi Palace would also smoke opium. This thing can not only eliminate the essence and blood of people's body, but also cause great damage to people's spirit. If you get infected, I'm afraid that this life will be over.
Kashyapa was just curious. After explaining clearly, he stopped talking, but briefly introduced this secret realm of cultivation to me.
The cultivation forest surrounding this east lake is not large, but if you go deeper, the range is not much smaller than the entire Bogda Peak, that is, the Tianshan ancestral courtyard. The forest outside is a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy. Most herbivores live in. Only occasionally will there be a small number of jackals, tigers and leopards coming to hunt, which is not very dangerous. When you walk in, there are four dangerous places, one is a snake cave, one is a ghost forest, one is a tiger roaring wilderness, and the other is a savage forest. These four places have chaotic space cracks and turbulent flows, with the most unstable structure and are also very prone to terrifying monsters.
On weekdays, the horse team often cleans up the dense forests outside the dangerous areas, and the evil things there are also quite territorial consciousness and will not visit each other, so they are always peaceful. However, the palace master, the elder and others will use Da Liuren to speculate every two or three years. If the energy is not right, they will enter it and kill some leaders to avoid hidden dangers.
The first person to discover that Long Zaitan colluded with outsiders was Kashyapa, the captain of the Zouma team from the outer palace. However, he chose to be cautious and only reported the matter to General Ashina, who was in charge of the Zouma team, and did not act rashly.
The Zhama team is the armed force of the Shenchi Palace. It has 150 quotas on weekdays, with a total of six captains, one general and two deputy generals. However, the relationship here is complicated. General Ashina can really use it, except for Kashyapa, who was from the outer palace and the Zhama team under his subordinates, there are only a few close friends. As for the others, they also have to be guarded against the constraints of the two deputy generals, so they cannot borrow too much power in this incident.
Moreover, in order to keep the Zouma team neutral, in this dispute, the team could not move. Their mission was to monitor other teams, so Kashyapa and several of their confidants had to come to provide assistance in private ways.
Because of the shortage of manpower, Kashyapa warmly welcomed me to join. He talked with me for a long time. When he was leaving, he held my hand tightly and made an appointment with me and drank the wine of celebrating merit after the event was completed.
At this moment, Kashyapa came to have a private meeting with me in the name of patrol and could not stay for a long time. After the situation was introduced, she left in a hurry. I and the little white fox were familiar with each other again in this huge forest. They walked from the east to the west, traveling south and north, roughly figured out what Kashyapa said about the dangerous places. They felt that there was indeed a little different there. The fog was everywhere, the structure of the space was not stable, and the images were separated, and it seemed that they might collapse at any time, and then they would fall into it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
If such a territory spreads outward and spreads to the ice city and even the inner palace, even if there is no beast tide, this secret cultivation realm will be completely destroyed.
During this period, I saw countless fierce beasts, tigers with three meters long and hair-like hair, three-eyed snow leopards I saw that day, giant pythons with more than ten meters, four-handed flying apes, and lonely ghosts with fierce spirits... Such foreign objects are not all in this world at all, and it also makes me believe that behind the dangerous land, there is indeed a so-called space crack connecting the unknown world elsewhere.
These guys are not hospitable, and naturally they have no good attitude towards uninvited guests like me and Xiaobai Hu'er. However, whenever this happens, I will use my magic power a little, which is considered as safe.
I walked until the sun set. At dusk, I had a general understanding of this cultivation forest and returned to the Ice City with the little white fox.
I met the King of Northern Xinjiang once at night, and he disappeared again. I didn't have much nervousness and went to bed early.
After experiencing countless wars and accidents, my mentality is much better than that of ordinary people.
The next morning, the trade fair was still hot, and I and the little white fox dived out of the city early and went to the forest. It was still a routine patrol to prevent someone from wiggling here. Until noon, I had a simple lunch with the little white fox. She dived into the distance, while I climbed up a tall dragon blood tree and looked at the ice city by the lake. I thought that in about a few more hours, the Shenchi Palace would stage a very rare battle. It’s a pity that I couldn’t be present, and I felt quite regretful.
At this moment, the little white fox appeared in the distance and signaled me to follow me. I also slid down the tree and followed her all the way, sneaking into a depression. Before I could react, I suddenly heard someone beside me saying, "...I thought that I could move Elder Gao with her princess's face, but I didn't expect that Elder Gao would sell her to my uncle. Xiaotian, get rid of her, you are the only princess in this Shenchi Palace!"
After hearing this, my heart became tight because I could hear the man's voice, but it was Long Xiaohai who had a conflict with me a few days ago, and that is, Long Zaitian's nephew of the son-in-law of the Shenchi Palace.
So, the Tianshan Divine Girl has fallen into their hands?
