The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight shone on the fleet of vehicles speeding in the sky, giving it a layer of golden light, like a long golden light sweeping across the sky.
Shi Jiu sat in the carriage and looked out the window from time to time.
"Haha, don't be nervous. This time is not like the last time. There are no valuables in the convoy, so no one will come to rob them." Jin Yuner, who was sitting opposite, looked at Shi Jiu's still tense expression and joked.
"Regardless of whether there are robbers or not, since I agreed to protect you, I have to be vigilant at all times." Shi Jiu said calmly, but he still maintained his full concentration, and occasionally turned on his consciousness to scan the distance.
"It's up to you." Shi Jiu's answer made Jin Yuner feel bored.
"By the way, what are your plans after witnessing the catastrophe of the leader of the Shuntian Escort Bureau? Do you want to continue returning to Lanming City with me?" Jin Yuner asked curiously.
She and Shi Jiu had agreed before that this escort trip would end with the Heavenly Tribulation, after which Shi Jiu could leave freely.
"Just go back to Lanming City. I'm sure I won't be recognized by the people from Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion. I don't want to ask for trouble. Well, I plan to practice in Longnan County. I heard that there are some people in Longnan County. I want to see a lot of ruins and adventure places." Shi Jiu said directly without hiding anything.
"Oh, sure enough. Have you decided where to go first?" Shi Jiu's answer was as she expected.
Shi Jiu shook his head: "I haven't decided yet, maybe I'll just take it one step at a time."
Jin Yan'er was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "That's it. How about I recommend a place?"
"Oh? Miss Yan'er, what's your advice?" Shi Jiu became interested after hearing what Jin Yan'er said.
"Haha, I don't dare to give you advice, it's just a recommendation." Jin Yan'er smiled and continued: "Our next stop is where the chief helmsman of the Shuntian Escort Bureau mainly fights the heavenly tribulation, which is about two thousand miles to the north. There is a ruins of Blackwater City there, you might as well go there. Firstly, it is relatively close to there, and secondly, I heard that occasionally people can pick up treasures there. The most recent time seemed to be half a year ago, and there was someone there. I picked up two crystal elements."
"Blackwater City? The name is quite special. Is the water there black?"
Your imagination is too rich, right? of course not! "Jin Yan'er said angrily to Shi Jiujiao, "Thousands of years ago, there was a Blackwater Palace there, and Blackwater City was built by it. However, later, the Blackwater Palace was destroyed by enemies, and the entire Blackwater City was in ruins. After that, people often went on adventures to hunt for treasures. Thousands of years later, people still go there to try their luck. "
"So that's it, so of course I can't miss it. Thank you, Miss Yan'er. I will go to Heishui City as my next stop." After hearing Jin Yuner's introduction to Heishui City, Shi Jiu's interest greatly increased and he decided to watch it after After the catastrophe, he set out to go there.
"But you have to pay attention to the time. The Secret Realm of Lost Dreams will open in half a year. Don't miss it." Jin Yuner kindly reminded because she was worried that Shi Jiu would be too happy to explore the ruins.
"Don't worry, I won't miss the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams. I will get there before the secret realm opens." Shi Jiu patted his chest and promised.
The next afternoon, the convoy slowly slowed down and headed towards a mountain range below.
Shi Jiu looked out the window, "Is this the place chosen by Shuntian Escort Agency?"
Jin Yan'er seemed to see Shi Jiu's doubts, and then asked with a smile: "Is it strange? We didn't pass by here when we came here?"
Shi Jiu nodded.
"Since we are going through a heavenly tribulation, we naturally have to find a place where no one is around. Once disturbed by others, the person who is going through the tribulation may suffer a loss of success or even die."
"Yeah, I understand that."
Soon the convoy landed in a forest, and then continued to drive forward, but this time it no longer flew, but took the land route.
An hour later, the convoy arrived in a valley.
As the motorcade stopped, everyone in the car got off one after another. Shi Jiu also followed Jin Yuner and got off the car and came to Fengbaozhai's team.
At this time, Shi Jiu began to look at the valley.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are no trees. Most of the mountain walls are exposed rocks. There are no signs of any biological activity around, and no sounds of birds or animals can be heard. Of course, this must exclude the current group of people.
At this time, Shi Jiu noticed that rows of temporary tents had been set up not far in front of the valley, and many people walked out of them. The leading person among them was the leader of the Shuntian Escort Bureau on Yuxin Island. Captain.
Sure enough, the Shuntian Escort Bureau had already made various preparations for this disaster, and this place was also something they had planned for a long time.
After meeting with the others at Shuntian Escort Bureau, Dong Tianling called Mr. Mingjing and others from Fengbaozhai to a temporary tent not far away.
After a while, Mr. Ming Jing, Dong Tianling and the elders of the Shuntian Escort Bureau entered the largest tent, while Shi Jiu followed Jin Yuner to another tent to rest.
"My uncle Ming wants to discuss with the Shuntian Escort Bureau about overcoming the heavenly tribulation, so we won't get involved. Your tent is next door. Go and rest now. I will send someone to call you when it's time to eat." After saying that, Jin Yan'er said lazily He stretched lazily.
Seeing this, Shi Jiu also retreated out of the room and came to the tent next door.
This tent was not for single people, but it was divided into several compartments. After Shi Jiu chose one, after a little observation, he lay down on the small bed until the evening, when Jin Yuner's maid came to wake Shi Jiu up. .
Soon, Shi Jiu arrived outdoors. Jin Yuner and Dong Hu were sitting in front of a long table, which was already filled with various exquisite dishes.
"Qi Fei, come and sit quickly. I'll introduce you to a friend." Jin Yuner called Shi Jiu over.
After sitting on the seat, Shi Jiu looked at the two people beside him with a smile.
At this moment, Dong Hu looked at Shi Jiu curiously, making Shi Jiu feel a little unnatural.
"Dong Hu, why are you looking at others? Isn't it impolite?" Jin Yuner noticed Shi Jiu's unnaturalness and asked to save him.
"I'm really sorry. I feel like I've seen you before, so I couldn't help but look at you a few more times. I hope Brother Qi can forgive me." Hearing Jin Yuner's somewhat dissatisfied words, Dong Hu quickly apologized to Shi Jiu.
"It's okay. Your father said the same thing before. Do you think I look like a person named Shi Jiu? I still know him and are friends. He introduced Miss Yan'er to me." Seeing Dong Hu bring With a suspicious look on his face, Shi Jiu simply took the initiative and spoke the lines he had prepared in advance.
"Oh, it turns out that's the case, no wonder!" Dong Hu suddenly said.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's eat first. I've been hungry all day." Jin Yuner came out to smooth things over.
After eating and drinking, the three of them started talking again.
"Brother Qi, my father praised you very much, saying that you performed well when the convoy was ambushed. You broke through the black net that trapped the convoy in one fell swoop, allowing everyone to leave." After drinking a glass of wine, Dong Tiger spoke first.
"Brother Dong is commended. The ones who really saved the siege are the chief helmsman and the great elder of your faction. My little thing is nothing. On the contrary, I admire Brother Dong even more. I heard that the tea party was held at Jianxiao Pavilion in Tonglin City before. , Brother Dong ranks among the top five, it is really amazing, Qi admires him!"
"Brother Qi got the award, it was just a tea party, it doesn't count." Dong Hu was modest, but his expression was proud.
"Okay, can you two stop bragging to each other here? I'm ashamed of you both! Jin Yuner has a little complaint.
"Yes, yes, Miss Yan'er, let's stop bragging, let's talk about something serious." Dong Hu apologized to Jin Yuner.
"My father will try to survive the Heavenly Tribulation in the next few days. With the protection of everyone from Fengbaozhai, my father's chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation will greatly increase, so I would like to thank you here first." After saying that, Dong Hu drank. Have a glass of wine.
"What you said is wrong. It's my uncle Ming who protects your father, and we are just spectators and can't help much."
"Anyway, you, Feng Baozhai, have helped my Shuntian Escort Agency a lot this time, and I should express my gratitude."
"Okay then, we will accept your thanks." Jin Yuner replied playfully, while not forgetting to wink at Shi Jiu.
This made Shi Jiu on the side feel a little unnatural.
"For this catastrophe, your Shuntian Escort Bureau should be almost ready, right?" Jin Yuner then asked.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Anyway, everything that should be prepared has been prepared. The rest is beyond our control, but I am confident that my father will be able to successfully survive the catastrophe and enter the soul realm!" At this point, Dong Hu drank another drink by himself.
In Shi Jiu's view, Dong Hu was trying to cheer himself up.
"Well, I also think that Uncle Dong can survive the catastrophe. Come, let's drink to Uncle Dong's ability to survive the catastrophe." Jin Yuner suggested.
"Okay, let's have a drink." Shi Jiu also agreed.
Suddenly, Dong Hu was a little excited. After the three of them filled their glasses with wine, they raised their glasses and drank together.
In the largest tent, Dong Tianling, Mr. Ming Jing, the Great Elder and others sat around the long table, and the atmosphere was warm.
"No matter what, with your brother Ming as my protector, I will be able to survive this natural disaster smoothly. Come, let's have another drink." Dong Tianling said happily to Mr. Ming Jing beside him.
"Brother Dong, it's better to drink less before going through the tribulation. There will be many opportunities after drinking." Mr. Ming Jing next to him advised.
"Don't worry, it won't delay the journey through the heavenly tribulation. If nothing happens, I plan to officially escape the tribulation the day after tomorrow." Dong Tianling drank the wine in the glass.
"Well, it's not advisable to delay for too long." Mr. Ming Jing nodded in agreement, "In addition, I received news that Huo Qianli obtained the Shura Crystal in the Yuanye Ancient Pit, and he should try to overcome the tribulation soon."
"I have also received this news. I have a personal opportunity. As long as I can successfully enter the soul realm, the Fire Fist Sect is still no match for my Shuntian Escort Agency. In addition, after I successfully survive the catastrophe, I will do my best to let him The Great Elder has also survived the heavenly calamity, and when the time comes, a strong person in the dual soul realm will be able to fight even if he is in the Peerless Palace or the Tonglin Palace, I, the Shuntian Escort Agency, will not be afraid." Dong Tianling finished speaking domineeringly, and drank another glass of wine.
"Okay, that's good. This way, our business in Lanhai County and other counties will be better." After that, the two of them toasted together.
