"Mingkong and Luo Chengzong?"
It was actually these two people who led the team to Jinzhou from the Inspection Department. He didn't know Mingkong. They should be elders of the same generation as Mingjun.
Luo Chengzong had heard from Ye Liuli that he was a direct disciple of the master of Tianlan Sect, Minglan Peak, who was twenty-four years old and a second-grade martial arts sect.
He is expected to be promoted to Grand Master before the age of thirty. He can be said to be the future star of Tianlan Sect's main peak, and he is even being cultivated as the seed of the future sect master.
According to Senior Su Manqing, this guy seemed to be Ye Liuli's suitor. Minglan and Yunlan peaks were getting married, but the master of Yunlan peak did not agree, so the matter was shelved.
But Luo Chengzong did not give up and pursued Ye Liuli unremittingly.
Ye Liuli returned to Luojing. Firstly, it was a sect trial mission, and secondly, there was also the factor of avoiding this guy, but who would have thought that a Xirong Wolf Lord would come in.
An old man over fifty years old, still at the peak of a first-class grandmaster, actually wanted to marry Ye Liuli and offered her the title of Wolf Queen.
There are actually many supporters within the sect, which can expand the influence of Tianlan Sect.
In fact, they still have their own plans. Once Ming Lan and Yun Lan become related by marriage, the relationship between the two peaks in Tianlan Sect will become even closer, involving the distribution of many interests. Although everyone is united on the surface, they will still plot against each other secretly. of.
The thousand-year-old holy land is not so peaceful and peaceful. Without competition, it would be a pool of stagnant water. Otherwise, why would the Tianlan Sect separate the nine main peaks? It would not be to encourage healthy competition among the disciples.
"On the surface, Elder Mingkong is the leader, but in fact, the leader of this team should be the Luo Chengzong, the leader of Minglan." Hu Sanniang said.
"What is the arrangement from above? Should our two teams merge into one place and set off together, or should we do our own thing and work according to our own abilities?" Luo Xing frowned slightly. A rescue operation has caused so many things, and each has its own thoughts and ideas. Mixed with calculations, it’s really speechless!
"His Majesty's decree is to focus on Nanya, but your master said that the Inspection Department probably won't listen to us."
"Then let's each do our own thing." Luo Xing said. He really didn't have the energy to integrate the two teams. The famous young man Luo Chengzong was obviously an arrogant person. He would listen to his third-level cultivation. The captain of Nanya who didn’t even arrive?
Don’t do things that you can figure out with your toes, and don’t do things that are thankless.
"When shall we set off?"
"Let's go when everyone is here!" Luo Xing ordered. Duan Tieniu was the only one left now. He informed last night that his home was far away, and it was still a bit far to reach Pingkangfang.
In fact, he didn't wait long before Duan Tieniu led his horse and came fully armed.
In addition to the equipment, he also carries a large iron pot on his back, which is quite consistent with his past status as a "cook". In addition to cooking, this pot can also be used as a shield when necessary. The ears on both sides of it can Holding it with both hands can save a lot of energy in case of encountering hidden weapons or arrows.
Luo Xing began to distribute jade spirit talismans. Everyone had one. Duan Tieniu also handed out an extra water-gathering talisman. Because he was responsible for the food and drink of everyone along the way, so he used a lot of water. With this water-gathering talisman, he didn't have to fetch water. Trouble.
Save everything you can, this is the first principle when traveling.
"On this trip, everyone must follow my arrangements for accommodation and food along the way. You are not allowed to touch water and food from unknown sources without authorization. If anyone unusual approaches, you must report it as soon as possible. Time is very tight. We are prepared It was very rushed, but I thought of everything I could think of. We will try to arrive in Jinzhou in two days, and then rest in Jinzhou for one night before entering Funiu Mountain!"
"Three days. It wouldn't be a big problem if it were spring and summer, but this is winter. Isn't Jingyang Road difficult to walk and slippery?"
"The horse's hooves are wrapped in cloth to prevent slipping. Forage will be provided at Nanya connection points along the way. If there is a problem with the war horse, it can be replaced at any time. You don't have to worry about this."
"Okay, as long as the young master doesn't find it hard, it doesn't matter to us, and we don't have to rush on our own feet." Yang Yingchun said sarcastically.
"Then let's set off!"
Luo Xing naturally took Xiao Qing with him, and Xiao Hui also followed him. It could provide them with warning while they were resting.
And after entering Funiu Mountain, we also need to rely on it to find Ye Liuli, Qingyi and the others.
How could you not bring such a good helper with you?
A group of six people rode horses straight to the east city, exited from the upper east gate of the east city, and galloped along the official road toward Jingyang Road.
"Xiao Qi, we just received the letter from Ying. The people from Tianlan Sect left the city a stick of incense earlier than us. Apparently they don't want to act with us."
"The Inspection Department is in Dongcheng. It's understandable that they got ahead of us. Since they have different opinions, let's just ignore them." Luo Xing took a sip of wine to ward off the cold, and then passed the wine bag along himself.
Everyone takes a few sips. On such a cold day, only strong alcohol can allow people to move around freely in the outside world. Ordinary people really can't resist it.
It’s not unreasonable for martial arts to flourish in this world. If you don’t practice martial arts, you won’t have such a strong resistance. How can you survive?
"Mount your horse and let's go!"
After walking for an hour, take a break to burn incense. Firstly, you can give the horse a rest and feed him some fine food. Secondly, Yang Yingchun's injury has not yet healed, so he must recover to a certain extent.
Also, on the way, Luo Xing also wanted to ask Hu Sanniang for some information about the Funiu Mountains. Time was too short, so he could only use the rest time along the way to understand and become familiar with it.
During the second break, in the sky, a gray-white shadow hovered twice, and then rushed down. It was the trust eagle brought by Hu Sanniang, and it suddenly landed on her arm. It was extremely light, and its pair of eagle eyes were extremely sharp. , quite the spirit of looking down upon the world.
"It's called Xiao Doudou, and I raised it." Hu Sanniang introduced.
Luo Xing grinned. Such an eagle soaring in the sky actually had such a "kawaii" name. Maybe it didn't understand it, otherwise it would definitely not be happy.
Hu Sanniang took off the eagle letter and said, "It is very fierce. Even your master is not allowed to get close to it."
“Third Master’s Wife, can’t it be a female eagle?”
"Well, you guessed it right."
Luo Xing actually didn't guess. It's just that the beasts or ferocious beasts in this world are not exactly the same as his original world, so even though he recognized them from their appearance, he didn't dare to confirm.
But Xiao Hui, who was originally in high spirits, was hiding in his arms and shivering. This was the contempt of the food chain.
Eagles hunt "rats" as food. Although the scent-smelling rat is a strange animal, it cannot change its rat nature. It is normal for it to be instinctively afraid of natural enemies.
"The Tianlan Sect's group is moving very fast. They have already passed the first pass in front. They are expected to pass through Jingyang Road half a day faster than us."
"So fast?" Luo Xing was surprised.
"They are using simple vehicles and they probably don't have any supplies and equipment, so they are naturally much faster than us." Hu Sanniang said.
"Holy Land disciples are so confident. Regardless of him, half a day early or half a day late will not have much impact." Luo Xing said he was not in a hurry, but he was still anxious in his heart. If he had found Ye Liuli and the others earlier, the result might have been different, but He had to remain objective. If there was news, he would speed up at all costs, but there was no news yet, so it might not be right to argue with others.
"Let's go at our own pace."
After entering Jingyang Road, the road is not so spacious and flat, but this is an official road connecting Jinzhou and the imperial center. There are still a lot of people coming and going, which is better than the mountain roads and trails that are not used by many people. , and this road can be traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
Because it is an official road, you can still meet some pedestrians on the road, and the Jingyang Road stretches for more than 500 miles. Every other section of the road has an official post station, and small villages and towns are built with the post station as the center point. People in villages and towns basically rely on this official road to make a living.
Although this mountain range also covers virgin forest, the mountains are not very high, with the highest being only over a thousand meters. Although there are ferocious beasts in the forest, there are very few high-grade ones.
Once a third-grade or above ferocious beast appears, the imperial court will immediately send people to eliminate it to ensure the safety of official passage.
The rest is left to the hunters who live here. Among them, there are many skilled warriors who make a living by hunting. At the same time, they also take into account the safety of this official road and the safety of the other side.
"Roar!"
Luo Xing and his party, who were speeding along, were suddenly reined in by a "roar", which was obviously the sound of an angry beast.
"This is the sound of a bear dolphin. An adult bear dolphin is a third-grade ferocious beast. But how could a bear dolphin appear here in this season?" Duan Tieniu said in surprise. He is a cook, and bear dolphins are very good ingredients. It’s more difficult to handle. If it’s not handled well, it will have a bad smell, and it will be particularly rancid. Naturally, it won’t taste so delicious. But if it’s handled well, the meat will be quite delicious. Third-grade ferocious beast meat, that’s a big deal. Made up!
There was also a scream in the air. It should be the cry of a hunter or warrior who was hunting bears and dolphins. Judging from the sound, it shouldn't be very far away.
Luo Xing didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but this matter was on the official path of their progress, so they couldn't ignore it.
"Let's go take a look." Luo Xing slapped the horse's butt and continued to move forward.
The group of people galloped forward for about five or six hundred meters, and saw in a valley, a dozen warriors dressed as hunters holding steel forks and bows and arrows, surrounded by bears and dolphins that looked taller than a man and weighed over a thousand kilograms. in it.
Luo Xing stepped forward and took a look. Isn't this a wild boar with long tusks?
However, this was the first time he had seen such a big wild boar. A dozen hunters and warriors could not do anything to kill a wild boar.
Just because this wild boar is a third-level ferocious beast, one collision actually knocked down a large tree that three people were hugging. If a person was hit, his body would be broken into pieces.
It is covered in fur as black as steel needles and is extremely thick. It is not afraid of the iron arrows shot by the hunter's archer at all. The hunter's general cultivation level is not high, the highest is only the fifth level. A bear dolphin with a third level strength can only Instead of wandering around, they didn't dare to get close, and someone was already injured.
What left Luo Xing and his party speechless the most was that their way forward was actually blocked by thick snow. This was probably caused by the battle to round up the bear and dolphin.
"Sir, during the winter, pandas usually spend the winter in their own dens. They rarely come out to look for food or disturb people. Someone must have disturbed this panda and angered it!" Xiong Da has been traveling around the world all year round and has rich experience. , and is even more familiar with the habits of some ferocious beasts.
Luo Xing's face was gloomy. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
