This was an incomplete incident, at least for Cao An, with an unsatisfactory process and outcome.
When he took the old dog down to the knife edge to watch, it was the first sun of the next day. Xiao Daoqing had a sad face and waved his little hands from a distance to say goodbye to Cao An. Chi Yangzi put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
The matter in Wangzhuang has not been resolved yet. Cao An is gone, but the problem is still there. No one has experienced anything similar. We don’t know what will happen in the future. This may take years or even decades. Fortunately, he still needs Wait for your disciples to grow up and have enough patience to wait.
After descending from Daokou Mountain, one person and one dog continued to go north.
The old dog jumped for joy. It was always a restless dog, and now it was so big. When they were looking at the knife edge, Cao An specially made a saddle for it. There were large cloth bags on the left and right sides to hold their dogs. Food rations and drinking water are not obvious when there are many people.
The Nian sword was used as a crutch, Cao An never left the sword, but he did not cherish it and treasure it.
In almost half a day, the scenery on both sides of the official road has changed significantly. The farther north you go, the gentler the terrain becomes, and you can't see the end of the official road at a glance.
This is a prosperous land, the Dingjiang Plain of the Dynasty, covering three major states, including Dingzhou, which Cao An will go to next. It takes the word "ding" from the Dingjiang Plain and is crossed by the Dingjiang River. At first glance, the entire dynasty can be considered to have a developed water system. Within a state, no matter how big or small, at least one water system is guaranteed.
This is not the case in historical records. It was a talented and strategic king who carried the infamy for hundreds of years behind him, and carried out extensive construction and widening of rivers, which led to today's situation.
It is not easy to find a stone in the plains. One person and one dog walked for a long time before they found a large boulder on the roadside.
The old dog lay beside Cao An, "It's such a long official road. After walking for so long, it seems like it has been staying in the same place. There is still no end in front and no end in the back."
Cao An stroked his dog's head. It felt much better now than before, and the hair quality was better.
"Just walk on the path you're on. This isn't trying to reason with you. It's just that we don't have anything urgent to do. Just go step by step. Don't make yourself too eager. There's no shortage of food and water. , look at the surrounding scenery, every step and every glance is different."
"The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle. Looking up at the vastness of the universe and looking down at the prosperity of categories, wandering your eyes and wandering around is enough for great audio-visual entertainment."
Lao Huang wanted to smile, but his mouth split open, and the dog skin on his head was wrinkled. Smiling was uglier than crying.
"I've never seen you listen carefully like this. Once your cultivation level improves, you should be able to become more powerful."
Cao An chewed a piece of meat cake, which he brought from Daokou Temple. Food like this needs to be eaten first, as it is not easy to preserve, but those dry cakes can wait.
The old dog also had a big piece, and while he was eating it, Cao An suddenly asked.
"Are you still eating shit now?"
The old dog who was eating the meat pie made a move and turned to look at Cao An with resentment in his eyes.
From the look in its eyes, Cao An knew that it probably didn't want to eat.
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious. Did you dog monsters stop eating that kind of food after you gained intelligence?"
The old dog felt that the meat cakes were not very fragrant, "Not entirely. Some of the same kind with special hobbies will occasionally adjust their meals. Our sense of taste and smell may be different from yours. In your opinion, it smells bad. , in our sense of smell, this is not the case.”
Cao An spread his hands and said, "Okay, even though I knew it before, but really hearing it from your mouth is a different level of feeling. It's only superficial on paper."
The old dog has nothing to say.
Yes, yes, you eventually feel shallow, so you come here to deal with the dog.
During this short break, three waves of caravans passed by. They looked at each other and nodded in greeting. It was a friendly gesture. There would be no nonsense and no one would stare. In the rivers and lakes, This is a big taboo, and naturally there will be no such thing as inviting people to go with them if they meet on the road.
Caravans often represent money, and no caravan is willing to insert an unstable factor into its team.
Just a moment later, another group of people came slowly, a total of four horses, uniform uniforms, iconic swords, disciples of the Tianjian Sect.
Cao An sensed a familiar breath and response. He looked up and saw that he was still an acquaintance, Lu Shisan, the great disciple of the Tianjian Sect. Two of the remaining three people had met him before, but the other one felt unfamiliar.
What Cao An was looking at was not the person, but the sword at the man's waist. The familiar aura and response came from that sword. With just one glance, he had already determined the source of that familiar feeling, the realm above the clouds. The sword: Nightmare!
'Were you still unable to escape the fate of the sword after all? '
Lu Shisan reined in his horse and stopped right next to Cao An. He cupped his fists and saluted without dismounting.
"Brother Cao, we meet again!"
"Master Lu, it's fate." Cao An returned the salute and replied with a smile.
Lu Shisan drew out the sword, and the black sword body glowed with a cold light in the sunlight. He looked up from the hilt to the tip of the sword. With a flick of his finger, a crisp sword cry sounded.
"Brother Cao, what do you think of my sword?"
"What a sword!" Cao An was not shy about complimenting him. It was indeed a good sword. How many eleven-grade weapons could there be in the world? I am afraid that some large sects may not be able to have such treasures.
His flick with just one finger was not an easy one. He probably noticed something strange about Nightmare, and used his own technique to flick it on the sword body, but it hit Nightmare's spiritual consciousness, so that there was a faint mournful cry in the clear sound. mean.
"I also think it's a good sword. It's a pity that Lu just got it not long ago and the sword has not yet been completely tamed. After returning home, it must be practiced hard."
"That's natural. As a swordsman, you naturally have to be intimate with your sword. Only by being in harmony with your sword can you unleash the true power of your sword moves."
A smile appeared on Lu Shisan's lips. He looked at the sword in his hand and put it into its sheath. He must have been quite satisfied with Cao An's performance.
"Where are you going, Brother Cao? Why don't we go together."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lu. I'm just going to stop here. I'm not in a hurry, so I won't need it. Don't miss Brother Lu's important event."
"Forget it, let's just say goodbye."
The crowd was no longer as slow as before and rode away quickly.
Gouzi squinted his eyes and looked at the rising smoke and dust, "Don't you want to deal with the master?"
Cao An shook his head and said with a smile: "When one day, you marry a wife who makes you satisfied, and when you are taking your wife out for fun, you find that your wife is flirting with another strange man, what will you do?"
Gouzi's eyes widened, "Master, have you ever done such a thing?"
Cao An almost gave this incoherent dog a kick, "Is your master like that? This is a metaphor, do you understand? I'm talking about the sword in his hand. The sword's name is Nightmare. It was brought out from the realm above the clouds. The sword was originally in my hand, but it gained spiritual consciousness of its own and made it clear that it did not want to continue being a human and wield a sword. It wanted to be the sword bearer."
"I let it go and exchanged it for the Nian sword in my hand now. Unfortunately, even though I let it go, it failed to escape the fate of continuing to become a sword. It was taken away by Lu Shisan. Just now it The response to me must have been sensed by Lu Shisan, so what happened just now happened."
The old dog curled his lips, "The sword belongs to him, how can this person be so petty?"
Cao An just smiled and said, "I don't really understand, but they call it jealousy. I guess that boy is a master who loves swords as much as his life. He cherishes the sword as much as his own woman."
"The people from their Tianjian Sect are really scary."
"Don't talk nonsense. Among those who really love swords, that is their belief. We don't have to understand it, but we can't slander it. It's almost time for us to leave."
At this time, Lu Shisan and the others in front had almost seen their backs. Lu Shisan was probably also anxious. He knew very well what the emotion shown by his sword meant to him, and what it meant to Cao An. means nothing.
At this time, once he releases the restriction, as long as Cao An waves his hand, the sword will change hands.
He is now eager to find a place to completely conquer this sword.
What Cao An didn't notice was that there was an imperceptible black mist following him ever since he left the Knife View. The distance was neither far nor close. In fact, he didn't dare to get too close to Cao An. At the moment, this He feels safest at a distance, when he is close.
It will give him a feeling of extreme danger.
This black energy is naturally the 'Zongzu' Ji Rong. After he found out that his Chi Yangzhu was taken away by Cao An, he has been following him. Later, because of Chi Yangzi, he temporarily avoided the limelight and saw Cao An came out of the knife edge view and followed him immediately.
The Red Sun Pillar was extremely important to him, but the danger on Cao An made him dare not get too close or press too hard.
It can be said that among all the resources he left behind, the combined price is not as important as the Red Yang Pillar itself. It is the most critical component of a treasure weapon that surpasses the twelfth grade. It was originally used to trap Cao An and fight for himself. Time, but I never thought that in the end, time was available, but Chi Yangzhu was lost.
What he couldn't understand even more was what could be in a person in the Three Scenery Qi Condensation Realm that could make him feel scared now.
Cao An didn't notice anything strange, and neither did the old dog. Jirong himself didn't have any malice or murderous intent. He just wanted to get his treasure back, and then quickly find a place to practice and restore his strength to its peak.
This walk, walking at a leisurely pace, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, another day passed. Seeing that it was getting late, a tributary of the Dingjiang River was clearly visible. Cao An took out the map and looked at it.
"It is indeed a tributary of Dingjiang River. Further ahead is Peixian County, Peixian County?"
Pei County is a famous place, but unfortunately, this Pei County is not that Pei County.
"I don't know if Liu Bang is in it."
"Master, what are you talking about? Who is Liu Bang?"
