Entering the source of monsters, Xu Qian had his own plans. The golden mask is most suitable at this time. It is said that it can transform into anyone, but it is still unknown whether it can transform into a monster. If not, then he will use other means.
His purpose is not to save Yu Hong. Of course, if he can save him, he can do it easily, but if everyone is dead, then there is no way to consider this matter. His purpose was to find out why the Monster King launched this beast wave. If it was really Dawn, then he wanted to see who was behind the Dawn organization and what they were doing. What is the purpose of so many things?
There is only one way from Xiangwan City to the source of monsters. Take the south exit of Xiangwan City and walk straight there. A thoroughfare runs through the entire city. Xu Qian called a taxi and soon arrived at the south entrance.
The so-called entrance and exit are actually China's high-speed toll stations. Just to prevent attacks by monsters, metal walls that can be raised and lowered are set up on the ground here. Beyond that is a bridge. Once monsters attack, not only the metal walls will rise and the bridge will break in the middle.
"What a beautiful Sijiang River. The Tang Dynasty allocated this large area of land for monster beasts to recuperate and recuperate. They really took great pains in selecting the site!"
This day is not a day for business, and the only destination from here is the Xiangwan Mountains. On business days, there are long queues here.
Seeing someone approaching, the checkpoint guard soldiers immediately noticed Xu Qian.
"Are you going to leave seclusion?" A man who looked like an army officer first asked Xiao Xu.
"Yes, I didn't say I couldn't go to the Origin of Monster Beasts today, right?"
These guard soldiers of the Tang Dynasty gave Xu Qian a different feeling than his stereotyped impression. They were not stereotyped expressions, but more humane.
The officer looked Xu Qian up and down and said in confusion: "What are you going to do? It's not open there today. You need Star Stone privileges to go in."
There are no restrictions in the Tang Dynasty. These soldiers are only here to prevent the invasion of monsters. As for those who run to the source of monsters for nothing, they will not stop them if they want to die. Unless they receive an order from their superiors to arrest someone, they will not stop them. Will not stop.
The officer was just curious. After all, it was very rare for people to live in such days, and even fewer were left with nothing.
"I have the privileges. You shouldn't need to go through any formalities here."
"Procedure? No, you just need to register this form. The main thing is to record your name." The officer said cheerfully: "There are only two situations when you go out from here, come back or not come back. The police often ask us to provide a single line The list, that is, the list of people who cannot come back, is mainly matched with the list of missing persons, and after this year, it will be matched to some extent."
"Missing persons?"
"For some unknown reason, some people came to Xiangwan City without telling their families and followed others' example to do business in the source of monsters. Where is the source of monsters? Although it is generally considered safe for caravans to enter, but merchants Things that never come back sometimes happen. Especially when it’s the first time for a young person who has no experience in going there. He doesn’t even understand many of the rules of the monster, so he just goes there with his head down. This kind of person is the most likely to die, and every year There were several who couldn’t come back and were reported to the police as missing persons in their hometowns.”
Maybe it's too boring to stay here for a long time. There are too many people and too busy on business days. It's strange that a young man wants to go to the source area today during free time. The officer can't stop talking.
Xu Qian was worried that he would be dragged into endless chatting, so he hurriedly said: "Which form should I fill out?"
A soldier took a few steps and jogged over with a notebook. Xu Qian took a look and wondered what the hell this was. Isn't this the kind of entry and exit registration book that the security guard at the entrance of Yingyu School asked him to fill out? Although going to the source of monster beasts is not going out of the country, in essence it is almost the same. There are no formalities, so just fill out a form and just settle for that?
"Are you serious about this form?"
"What? What did you say?" The officer looked confused.
"No, I said please give me a pen."
"Mr. Ye, what is this number?" The soldier checked the information Xu Qian filled in, but didn't understand some of it.
Xu Qian filled in "Ye Guzhou", but the soldier couldn't understand the ID number.
"This is...the card number of the academy card..." The only ID he had in Datang was the academy card, and he didn't know if it was considered a valid ID.
Academy card?
Upon hearing this answer, the officer immediately leaned over to confirm.
"This card number starts with..." The officer suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Qian, his expression nervous, "Are you a student of the Imperial Academy?"
"Imperial Cultivator? You mean the Royal Immortal Cultivator Academy?" Xu Qian thought for a moment. The academy card was given to all teachers and students in the academy. He was originally recruited by Qin Zhao to be a teacher. Although he did not agree, he really wanted to Speaking of identity, it would be more accurate to say he is a teacher. As for learning formations from Liu Qingsha, Xu Qian regarded it as a transaction, not studying in the academy. Moreover, Qin Zhao had also said at the beginning that even if he became a teacher, he could still learn in the academy. After all, A teacher may only be knowledgeable in a certain aspect, but that doesn’t mean there are no shortcomings, or that we can’t learn from each other.
"I'm not a student, I'm a teacher."
Teach!
After the officer reacted, he shouted loudly and then ordered: "Everyone listen to the order! Form a formation!"
"Salute to Mr. Ye!"
The more than twenty soldiers of the Tang Dynasty present all gave Xu Qian a military salute. This battle left classmate Xiao Xu stunned and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Xu Qian had never realized the status of the Royal Academy of Immortal Cultivation in the Tang Dynasty before. He only knew that he could get a lot of conveniences and even get discounts when buying things, but he had never experienced such courtesy today.
The common people of the Tang Dynasty may only have reverence for the Imperial Academy, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are different. They understand its importance and have heard many stories about the academy's actions against foreign enemies. In this world where immortal cultivators are not uncommon, the army is only one part of whether a country is powerful in terms of military force. More often, it is determined by its peak combat power. It was the soldiers and monks of the Tang Dynasty who had protected the country for more than a thousand years. The soldiers represented the competition between ordinary people, while the monks represented the confrontation of peak power. And many times when the army fell into fierce battles, it was the Imperial Academy that took action and smoothed the way for them.
If Xu Qian had only obtained the academy cards of other Immortal Cultivation Colleges, these soldiers would at most have looked at him with contempt and showed more respect. But this is the Imperial Cultivation College, a holy place that they regard as the foundation and pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is When a student comes here, they will still give a military salute, let alone teach.
The officer also wanted to understand why Xu Qian entered the source of monsters alone on this day. Either they are experienced by experts, or they are on a mission to do things. In short, it is definitely the reason that they soldiers dare not think about and cannot ask. Just now he had the temerity to ask Mr. Ye the purpose of entering the Origin. He was really stupid.
"Jiaoxi Ye, let me send you a car to take you there. It would be too...wasting time for you to walk there. There are also regulations prohibiting flying."
Xu Qian was overjoyed, he was too lazy to leave, and now there was a car to deliver him, which was the best thing.
On the other side of the bridge is the entrance to the source of monsters. The Sijiang River is the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and the Origin, which is also convenient to manage. Even though the monster side does not have any modern technology, the bridge is naturally maintained by the Tang Dynasty.
The military vehicle sent Xu Qian across the bridge, and he immediately had to go back.
"Mr. Ye, we are going back now. There are regulations that military vehicles cannot stay for more than one minute when crossing the bridge, otherwise it will be regarded as a military operation. Please be careful."
After the military vehicle left, Xu Qian was left alone. There were no monsters or fortifications like checkpoints in front, only endless mountains and endless trees.
After crossing the bridge, the road surface is no longer a cement road, but a primitive dirt road. Various wheel marks can still be clearly seen on the road surface, presumably the traces left by the caravan when they entered.
After walking for about two kilometers along the only road, he suddenly noticed an unknown figure flashing past among the trees on the hillside on the left.
In a whoosh, Xu Qian appeared on the hillside and caught the monster that was about to escape.
