Dahei is a rare good donkey, with strong explosive power and durability, and is more powerful than ordinary horses.
When riding, the road feel is even better, very smooth and silky.
It's just a pity that it is an open-air mount, with air leakage from all sides.
Especially Li Yanchu's trip was to go outside the customs.
The climate outside the customs is bitter and cold.
Hengduan Mountain is also known to be extremely steep and difficult for birds to cross, so he did not take Dahei with him.
After leaving Wei City, we came to a secluded and uninhabited place.
He felt the clouds rising from his feet, climbed straight up, and rushed to Tianhai Pass.
Soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist!
This is the immortality obtained by taking the golden elixir.
Tianhaiguan is more than 20,000 miles away from Weicheng, Beifeng County, where Li Yanchu was located.
Li Yanchu flew up to the clouds, directly used his ability to soar into the clouds and ride in the fog, and rushed to Tianhai Customs!
The other party captured Lao Bai ten days ago.
He must hurry up and catch up.
Flying through the clouds and driving through the fog. Li Yanchu calculated at first that he usually travels a thousand miles in a day.
He was on the road every day, and when he was resting, he would meditate on the Yin-Yang diagram of Longhu Mountain.
This method of contemplation is so extraordinary that only one of the four heavenly masters has learned it.
Li Yanchu felt that every time he practiced, his soul would become more condensed.
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
He finally arrived at Tianhaiguan.
This majestic pass of Qian Kingdom is magnificent and extraordinary, like a natural moat.
Construction began during the Daxia Dynasty, and successive emperors continued to strengthen it, finally taking on the majestic appearance it has today.
Outside Tianhaiguan, there is a bitter cold land, including Gobi desert, icebergs and snowfields, and numerous mountains.
The largest mountain range is the Hengduan Mountains.
There are many barbarian tribes living in the Hengduan Mountains, and they often trade with the Central Plains and exchange materials.
Therefore, there are many caravans in Tianhaiguan, including those from the Central Plains and those from barbarian tribes.
These barbarians are still the same as the Hu tribe in the grassland, or they do not have such strong military power. The northeastern border has been relatively stable for many years.
This stability also promoted the prosperity of trade.
Li Yanchu did not cross Tianhaiguan, but chose to enter the city.
The first is to inquire about information.
The second is to purchase supplies.
In the bitter cold land outside the customs, the climate is erratic. Sometimes the sky is clear, sometimes there are tornadoes, and there are sandstorms in the desert.
Especially the powerful force of heaven and earth like sandstorms in the desert can easily change the landscape.
However, there are not many deserts outside Tianhaiguan. Most of them are mountains and grasslands.
It's not like the Gobi Desert in the northwest, an endless desert.
The soldiers guarding the city saw a young and handsome Taoist priest, wearing an elegant long sword.
I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The dragon-cutting knife has an ancient and elegant shape, with a straight blade and a narrow blade, similar to the Tang Dynasty knife, so it is sometimes mistaken for one.
Li Yanchu walked into this majestic border city and saw many kinds of clothing and traders from the south, north, and south.
These people are merchants who trade within and outside the customs.
Jingle Bell.
He heard the sweet sound of camel bells.
Turn around and look.
It was a caravan, loaded with goods. The leader was a barbarian with sharp eyes and a scimitar hanging from his waist. He looked very fierce.
He and Li Yanchu looked at each other and left with the camel team. They were going to the Hengduan Mountains outside the pass to trade with the barbarian tribes there.
Li Yanchu frowned slightly, it wasn't that there was anything wrong with the leader.
Instead, there was a faint yin energy on his body, as if he had come into contact with something unclean.
The smell is also very light.
Li Yanchu glanced at his back, then turned and left.
He was walking towards the inn.
The inn gathers together three religions and nine streams, making it the most suitable place to inquire about news.
At first he was just on his way, but later he would stop at the pass whenever he passed the big city to inquire about the traces of the mysterious shamans.
But there was nothing gained.
He came to an inn called Tongfu, stopped to look at the sign, and then walked in.
Tongfu, Yuelai, there is an inn that should be very famous.
I don’t know why those bosses suddenly thought of these names.
Li Yanchu asked Bai Hongtu about things as usual.
I thought I would find nothing again.
But the boy suddenly said: "I seem to have seen the Mr. Bai you mentioned."
Li Yanchu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
There was a look of embarrassment on the boy's face, and he thought: "It's just that it took a long time, and I can't remember it clearly."
Li Yanchu took out a piece of silver and waved it in front of him.
There are five taels in total.
A smile appeared on the boy's face: "Oh, I remembered that this young man came to our inn three days ago. At that time, there was a burly man beside him. That size was simply scary, bigger than a bear in the mountains. It’s even more ferocious.”
In fact, although he grew up in the border area, he had never seen Xiong Zhi.
Li Yanchu asked: "Is there anyone else?"
The boy thought for a moment: "They came in a carriage. No one was allowed to get close. There was an old man with them, and he looked at you a little panicked."
Li Yanchu nodded.
It seems that this boy is not lying.
The boy continued: "They only stayed for a short time and then left, as if they were out of isolation. I have a good memory since I was a child, and these people have strange looks, so I am deeply impressed."
Li Yanchu handed over the money: "How is that young master's mental state?"
The boy was startled when he heard this: "Looking at me, his eyes are a little dull, but there's nothing else besides this."
Li Yanchu nodded.
Lao Bai must have been under a spell such as ecstasy. Shamanism is good at inviting spirits and is very accomplished in the way of the soul.
After the boy left.
There was a look of thought in Li Yanchu's eyes.
"It seems that this group of people is really looking for the Wanxiang Celestial Palace. It is very likely that they will meet them."
only.
Li Yanchu frowned slightly.
"This group of people didn't make any appearance all the way from Weicheng to Tianhai Pass. Why did they show up here instead?"
"Is it to meet someone, or is it deliberately leaving traces?"
Li Yanchu guessed.
but.
He quickly ruled out the motive of the other party deliberately leaving traces.
This group of shamans is secretive and powerful.
Lao Bai's flying sword skills and Xu Lingsu's painting skills are extremely difficult to deal with, not to mention there is a martial arts master who is good at it.
Of these three people, one was killed, one was injured, and the other was captured at the hands of the shaman.
There is still enough energy left to hunt Xu Lingsu for many days.
They are not afraid of being followed at all, so there is no motive for deliberately leaving traces.
Thinking of the absence of the mysterious black robe described by Xu Lingsu, Li Yanchu guessed that it was more likely that the group was going to meet someone in the city.
He thought for a moment and then started asking about the Vientiane Heavenly Palace.
However, the locals and businessmen in the past are all very secretive about the Vientiane Heavenly Palace!
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I don’t dare to say it or don’t want to say it!
Even if Li Yanchu was willing to spend money, it would be useless.
He didn't force it, he just wanted to inquire about it.
Ordinary people may know more about legends.
