We meet at dusk, and the moon rises above the willow branches.
Li Xiuyuan, who received the spirit stone, did not stay, but asked Chen Chaofan for a wildebeest, and left the Great Wall that night under the escort of Chen Guangming.
He wanted to give everyone the illusion of defecting overnight.
Guiguzi told him that when performing a show, he must perform a complete act. Not only must the monks at the Great Wall believe it, but he must also believe it himself. In this way, even if you accidentally talk in your sleep, it is still true.
Just after Haishi, the moon in the sky was obscured by layers of dark clouds, and the entire land was blurred, creating a dark and windy night for Li Xiuyuan when he left.
Li Guangming handed the wildebeest in his hand to Li Xiuyuan, looked at him and said with a wry smile: "It's just to save people, why do you need to stage this painful trick? What if the lie turns out to be true?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "I am lucky to win, and my life is to lose. My life is very hard, I am not afraid!"
Li Guangming looked at him, shook his head, and said with a smile: "If you really rescue people this time, I'm afraid it will be enough to promote you to the rank of captain of thousands."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed softly: "I didn't think too much about it. This is a private matter, purely to help my friends. After all, Chen Shanshan and I came from Tiannan City together."
Li Guangming naturally knew Chen Shanshan. He had no choice but to reach out and pat Li Xiuyuan's shoulder gently and said, "Take care along the way. I look forward to your return."
Li Xiuyuan got on the horse and waved goodbye to him: "Teacher Fu Jian will also engrave, but the teacher is old and the speed is very slow. Don't rush him."
When Li Guangming heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "When you go to the wilderness, don't believe anyone's words."
Li Xiuyuan whipped up his riding whip and left.
From time to time, one or two low sounds of wild beasts can be heard in the wilderness, and occasionally there are shrill screams like lonely ghosts in the distance. The wilderness is desolate and terrifying.
This is the first time Li Xiuyuan has left the Great Wall, although Chen Chaofan gave him a map of the wilderness.
But now he was riding alone on the horse, like a lonely ghost wandering in the wilderness.
With a sigh, he took out the black cloak and put it on his body. He was instantly invisible in the vast wilderness. From a distance, he saw only a wildebeest walking alone.
He does not understand the fears of the wild night and will not be afraid of them because he has countless runes. When Li Xiuyuan decided to go to Ding'an City alone, Guiguzi gave him a lot of different runes.
The space ring filled with spiritual stones given to him by Chen Chaofan allowed him to find a sense of confidence.
"I come from Shura Heaven, and I want to go to Ding'an City to find the legendary dragon."
Li Xiuyuan was very moved. He was galloping on the dark wasteland, looking at the piles of different skeletons around him, and thinking about the various encounters since coming down the mountain, he felt filled with emotion.
"I didn't expect that it has been more than half a year since I came to this world, and there is still news about Shenlong."
Li Xiuyuan thought about all this, and he didn't expect that there was a glimmer of hope for this impossible task. It seemed that he had to have something to do with the legendary dragon.
If I get the essence and blood of the ancient blue dragon, will I also have the blood of the divine dragon after refining it? Just like his previous Shura bloodline was cannibalized by the immortal spiritual energy.
The wildebeests moved forward, but due to the darkness, their speed gradually slowed down. Looking back, they could no longer see the towering city wall.
In Li Guangming's words, if you can no longer see the Great Wall in the wilderness, you have already left at least thirty miles. He was traveling so fast that he had already left the Great Wall far away.
In this late night, different shadows flashed across the wasteland, but they did not dare to approach Li Xiuyuan.
I don't know if it's because he possesses the power of yin and yang of heaven and earth, or because he possesses the power of dragon soul.
The wildebeest is like a black ghost walking on the wilderness. It was already the ugly time, and the world had entered a slumber mode. Only the resentful souls who lost their lives on the battlefield were wandering around.
But because Li Xiuyuan's cloak had the invisibility function, these resentful spirits could not do anything to him. He saw that he was getting further and further away from the Great Wall, and in the blink of an eye he was already hundreds of miles away from the Great Wall.
...
It is said that in Ding'an City, the city lord's palace is in the prison.
The prison was supposed to be dark and gloomy, but in the past few days, two lanterns were hung in the deepest part of the prison, making it look warm and festive, and it didn't look like a place where prisoners were held.
The haggard-looking Chen Shanshan sat blankly in the cell, with four dishes, one soup and a small pot of wine placed in front of her.
There were two chairs in the corridor outside the prison, with a middle-aged woman and a young maid.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Miss Chen, you are a blessing from the past life. There are many young ladies from wealthy families in Ding'an City who want to marry Mr. Ximen, but he doesn't like it, but he likes it. Fucked you..."
Chen Shanshan looked like she was in low spirits. She must have been arguing with the woman in front of her for who knows how many days. She was too lazy to argue now. He just looked down at his boots, thinking about when the person Zhao Pingan was looking for would come to save him.
However, she didn't know whether Zhao Ping'an could return to the Great Wall alive, let alone who her father could find to save her. After all, this was Ding'an City, a wild territory.
The woman outside the prison seemed to have read through her thoughts and giggled: "Don't expect anyone to come to rescue you. This is the wild Ding'an City. Even if you have thousands of troops, you can't defeat it, right?"
The maid sitting next to the woman giggled and said, "That's right. When you become our wife, this entire wilderness will be your home, which is bigger than the Great Wall."
Chen Shanshan was really upset after hearing this, and frowned and said, "If you tremble again, I will die for you. Do you want to give it a try?"
Unexpectedly, when the woman heard this, she burst into laughter: "Don't scare me, I'm a coward. The city lord has sealed all the acupoints in your body, how can you die? Forget it, I won't say anything... .”
The woman didn't want to offend Chen Shanshan. If she really married the young master, wouldn't she become her master and would she have a good life in the future?
The maid, however, was obedient. She looked at Chen Shanshan and said with a smile: "Miss, please don't embarrass us. We are just servants. You won't get into trouble with our servants in the future, right?"
Chen Shanshan glanced at her and said nothing.
The woman sighed and said quietly: "No matter what, there is no need to struggle with your stomach. Don't worry about it until you have enough food and strength. Otherwise, on the day you get married, the two of us will not be able to survive."
The maid sitting nearby also said, "That's right, we are also innocent. Please don't embarrass us, Miss."
Seeing Chen Shanshan lose weight day by day, Ximen Lone Star had already scolded the two of them several times.
Chen Shanshan, who was alone in jail, sighed. She was not willing to embarrass the two people in front of her. But she was unwilling to do so. She just came to experience it, but she didn't expect that someone would put her in jail and force her to get married.
This is something she would never agree to anyway.
He lowered his head and thought about it, thinking that it was not the last days yet, so he had to save some strength. What if his father sent someone to save him? When people come, I will starve to death in this prison...
Thinking of this, he finally sighed softly, looked at the two of them and said, "Go and get a bucket of clean water. I want to freshen up. My whole body smells bad."
...
It is said that Li Xiuyuan, who had been running around for several days, relied on the Shura aura brought by the mask on his face to deceive him through the checkpoints along the way, and finally arrived at the Ding'an City that Guiguzi mentioned.
According to legend, this city originally belonged to the Great Wall, but was later occupied by the barbarian army.
At this time, he had already taken off his cloak, led the wildebeest and looked up. Wherever he looked, he stared blankly at the rows of wooden cages on the gate of Ding'an City.
A long row of wooden cages hangs above the city gate of Ding'an City, each containing a corpse.
For thousands of years, all spies caught by the barbaric defenders were executed and unable to return home. They were hung high above the city gate and allowed to be exposed to the sun for many years, which became a means of deterring spies on the Great Wall. .
There were corpses in the cage that had just been thrown in. Their bones had rotted away over the years. The clothes on each corpse were in tatters, with dark bloodstains and an unpleasant smell.
The wooden cage on the city gate swayed slowly in the wind, and the crows in the sky were waiting to feast on the rotting corpse.
Ding'an City uses bloody wooden cages to warn everyone who comes here not to try to cause trouble here. The result will only be the same, just like the bones in this wooden cage.
Li Xiuyuan just looked at it for a moment and then looked away.
The hanging corpse warned that only barbarians could do this kind of thing, which made the secret diggers coming from the Great Wall feel fear.
But after staying in the Great Wall these days, he has never seen the killing of prisoners. As for the treatment of corpses, he has never seen it, because the solemnity of the Great Wall does not allow it!
It's just that Ding'an City is not the Great Wall. It is the fortress where the Great Wall and the Wilderness fought. The two sides fought for thousands of years and were finally taken over by the Savage Army.
With a wave of his hand, two inconspicuous talismans flew into the sky, one was a delay talisman and the other was a flame talisman.
As for the hatred between the Great Wall and the Wilderness, if Chen Chaofan and others cannot solve it, then leave it to more powerful people in the future. In short, it has nothing to do with him. When the time is up, he can leave here with the Jade Breaking Jade in his hand.
The Great Wall here, Ding'an City here, the vast wilderness here, and the two majestic cities of Tiannan and Tianfeng. Will I come here again in this life?
After all this random thinking, he finally sneaked into Ding'an City safely with the tokens Chen Chaofan collected from the battlefield.
Now his name is Shura, a Shura from a foreign land, and his identity is an inconspicuous monk in the wild army. He is not even a captain of ten, just a casual cultivator.
And this kind of identity is suitable for the Li Xiuyuan in front of him. He not only needs to keep a low profile, but also needs an identity that is not controlled. It is not only convenient for him to go to the city lord's mansion to rescue Chen Shanshan, but also convenient for him to stay and slowly find what the ancient Canglong wants.
He has decided to stay here for more than a year.
After entering the city gate, Li Xiuyuan, who was holding the wildebeest, deliberately stopped near the tall city wall, tied the wildebeest to the door of a shop, and then turned around and sat down on the street.
"Man, let's have a bowl of beef noodles! Add more meat and you won't be short of money!"
It was a windy and frosty journey, and I suffered a lot of shocks. My first priority when I entered the city was to fill my stomach.
"Okay, wait a moment, sir!" The waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic and gave Li Xiuyuan a warmth he had never experienced in the Great Wall.
Before the waiter could bring the noodles to the table, a mournful horn sounded at the city gate. "There's an enemy attack! Why are all these wooden cages on fire?"
"Someone come and put out the fire. Let the city lord know that none of you can escape responsibility!"
Suddenly, groups of soldiers ran out of the city gate and interrogated the pedestrians who were still outside the city gate.
Li Xiuyuan took a large bowl of beef noodles brought by the waiter, took a sip of the hot soup, and said calmly: "Now that I have come to Ding'an City, I'm afraid your good days have come to an end."
Others would have thought that there was nothing they could do about the rows of wooden cages on the city wall, but who was he? I am the unique Shura, the only disciple of Gui Guzi.
I am the Great Talisman Master, and I will destroy you with a wave of my hand.
Sitting in the noodle shop, Li Xiuyuan joked with the waiter in the shop and asked about the inns in the city and some simple customs. Now that he has arrived in Ding'an City, he has to find a suitable place for himself.
