After another two days, the front and rear of Black Wind Castle was finally dealt with. Yan Hongxia also temporarily returned to Yumen with her men. As for the ownership of this small town in the future, Zhao Chen naturally does not need to worry about it. No matter who wins in the end, They have to give him and Yan Hongxia a large amount of compensation.
Zhao Chen's caravan also set off again on this morning, heading towards Dunhuang.
Since it was early summer, the waterway between Black Wind Castle and Dunhuang was smooth. Zhao Chen, who had just been promoted to the Refining Ability and was getting familiar with his realm, chose to take the boat without hesitation.
This section of the waterway goes upstream, and the surrounding environment is very harsh. A few hundred years ago, the speed of travel was actually quite impressive. With the help of trackers, it would take at least half a month to reach Dunhuang.
But fortunately, steamships have become popular in modern times. Although they are all old models in this Western Region, their speed is not slow. It can take up to two days to reach the dock near Dunhuang.
On the deck of the ship, Zhao Chen's figure changed constantly, and every change gave rise to a phantom. The real and the fake were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
Then, all the phantoms raised their revolvers at the same time and shot at a target on the shore.
In an instant, all the phantoms disappeared together, and Zhao Chen himself had already put away his gun and stood up.
He looked at a broken stone on the shore and nodded with satisfaction: Finally, he had finally combined the "Water Moon Phantom Body" and "Gun Fighting Technique" together.
"Water Moon Illusion Body" is the foundation of one of the natal spells of the ancient "Shui Yue Temple" "Water Moon Illusion Body". It connects the internal organs to heaven and earth, and the outer channel is natural and cosmic, allowing the spirit and true energy to flow. A method of mutual cooperation.
Therefore, it can create illusions within the range of spiritual perception and interfere with the enemy's senses, making it difficult for even monks who have opened their eyes to see through.
As for the "Gun Fighting Technique", it was given to Zhao Chen by his senior brother Feng Cang. Although the other party could not tell the origin, he thought it was left by the forgotten Master Huang.
After putting away his famous blunderbuss, the Fierce Sun, Zhao Chen pulled out the orange-red "Sunset Sword" and began to practice the "Chu Yang Sword Technique" and "Lei Guang San" obtained in the "Mist of History" one by one. cut".
The former is the self-created sword technique of "Chu Yang Divine Sword" Liang Sheng, while the latter is the famous secret technique of "Thunder Light Sword" Chen Pingzhi, both of which can be regarded as first-class sword techniques in the refining realm.
It's a pity that most of the people around Zhao Chen are masters of using fire guns and can give him some guidance on "gun fighting skills"... but their sword skills are mediocre.
No matter Qi Feimeng, Zheng Qingyan, or even Yan Hongxia, who is based on sword energy, they are barely good at swordsmanship, and they are not even as talented as Zhao Chen in this area...
So Zhao Chen could only work behind closed doors.
But just as he stretched out his long sword and practiced the "Wind and Thunder Slash" with the sound of wind and thunder, he suddenly felt the temperature rise sharply, causing a lot of sweat to break out on his forehead and back, as if he was in the middle of nowhere. Normally in the stove.
This surprised Zhao Chen. After all, he had perfected his zhenqi, and his zhenqi could protect his body on its own, so he should be immune to cold and heat.
What's more, such a temperature difference between the front and back is not normal.
He put away his sword, took the towel handed by Qi Feimeng, who was playing the role of a maid, wiped his sweat, and asked casually: "Why is the climate here so abnormal?"
When Qi Feimeng asked, before Qi Feimeng could say anything, Tao Zhou, the gunsmith master at the side, took the initiative to answer:
"Master Huichen, it's because there is a flaming mountain nearby."
Flame Mountain...is there a Rakshasa girl in the mountain? Zhao Chen complained in his heart, but on the surface he repeated doubtfully: "Flaming Mountain?"
"Yes... that Flame Mountain was created hundreds of years ago when Dunhuang came to the world. Rumor has it that two 'Dongxuan' masters fought there, and one of the real people from the Danding Immortal Sect showed his true The body' lit up the hills in that area and has not been extinguished to this day.
"Now it is a treasured place for monks who practice flame magic. Many fire-attribute evil spirits can be found there." Tao Zhou explained simply.
After a monk achieves "Dong Xuan", his life level is fundamentally different from before. The "Dharma Appearance" in the first level of "Dong Xuan" is okay, but the "True Body" in the second level has its own way. The ability to "pollute" the world and initially change the laws of heaven and earth.
The "Dharma Domain" used by Jin Chanzi who appeared in the Shifo Temple before was just like this... except that its power coming from the air was too little, and the "Dharma Domain" was just an empty shell.
"However, since it is a treasure land, disputes are inevitable... This area is also the most dangerous section of road before reaching Dunhuang." Qi Feimeng added at the side.
She has lived in Dunhuang for a long time and is no stranger to the area.
Maybe it was the crow's mouth, or maybe Qi Feimeng had noticed something in advance. Before she could even finish her words, two figures were chasing each other and running towards the ship chartered by the caravan.
After opening his eye orifices, Zhao Chen's eyesight was astonishing. He could easily tell from the strength of the infuriating energy around the two people that they were monks who had just opened up the Ren and Du Second Meridians, but they didn't know how many acupoints they had opened.
——Most monks don’t start refining their acupoints until their true energy is complete, unlike him.
The woman in black who was running in front suddenly lit up when she saw the ship moving in the river, and rushed over regardless.
The big man chasing behind saw the woman in front of him running too fast, and was afraid that she would rush onto the boat and escape in the chaos, so he snorted and shouted loudly: "Beiqi Mountain Chain Village is doing business, if you don't want to die, stop that woman. Don’t let her on board!”
Beiqi Mountain Chain Village is a bandit force in the desert north of Dunhuang, in the direction of Beiting. There are four village owners, hundreds of leaders, and thousands of followers. It is considered a not weak force.
The four village leaders are all magic monks, and they all specialize in an evil sword technique, which is so powerful that they are known as the "Four Evil Swords of Beiqi".
Although this chain village in Beiqi Mountain is more than two thousand miles away from Dunhuang, its reputation is not weak at all. After all, the so-called "Seven Heroes of Monan" became famous because of this group of gangsters.
Even in the many battles between the Seven Heroes of Monan and the Four Evil Swords of Beiqi, the former was still at a disadvantage.
Hearing the arrogant words of the big man, Zhao Chen, who originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: What qualifications do you, a guy who can only refine his body, have the right to threaten us? Even if Feimeng and I don't take action, Uncle Zhan's gun team alone is enough to beat you to a pulp.
And just as Zhao Chen thought, how could Zhao Zhan, as the captain of the Fire Gun Team, accept such a threat? Directly ordered the fire gun team to enter a state of preparation and be ready to shoot at any time.
The woman in black breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, ran quickly to the side of the boat, and shouted:
"The little girl has obtained a piece of material that contains the 'Five Elements of Fire Evil', and is willing to use it to seek protection."
Yesterday I was chatting with people in the group about squid, and I didn’t go to bed until three o’clock...I didn’t get up until noon, so the update was late.
