There is a remote and desolate path leading to the outside of Wuluo City. It was originally inaccessible. Since the Wei court ordered all nearby people to move away, no one has set foot here again.
Flowers wither and bloom, spring passes and autumn comes, scattered branches are scattered all over the ground, withered leaves fall on the wet paths; on the other side of the road, there are crops that have fallen to the ground and died of drought in the fields, and dilapidated villages. houses.......
The sky above the outskirts of Wuluo City is always gloomy, and the dark clouds seem to cast a layer of gray haze over this small world. Even if it is just a quick glance, the monk can vaguely detect the oppressive look down from the sky.
"Tap tap......"
There was a sound on the path, and a figure wearing a raincoat rode a horse, galloping past with the wind before the rain. The four horse hooves kicked up a thick cloud of dust, which was rolled up and blown down again, with no one knowing its final destination.
This person is none other than Chen Mo after leaving Fuyun Sect.
After many days of long journey, he was finally arriving at this border city at the junction of Wei and Qin.
Flying with a sword in this kind of weather is very likely to become a living target for Thunder. Chen Mo didn't want to seek death yet, so a few hours ago, he bought a horse at the inn in the secular world and fed it an energy-boosting pill. The elixir has allowed it to survive until now.
Otherwise, ordinary horses would have been driven to death long ago by driving them such a long distance.
The heavy rain poured down, washing the suburbs of Wuluo City in a silent and roaring way. The shallow mist aroused on the paths and wandered on Chen Mo's raincoat, just like the shock and excitement of thousands of people beating drums together. Crisp and rhythmic.
The sound of playing music did not last long. As the scene in front of him became blurry and clear, Chen Mo tightened the reins and dismounted in front of the silent city in the rain.
There were two guards in front of the Wuluo City Gate, and six monks were preparing above them. They were all at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Seeing Chen Mo dismounting and approaching slowly, one of them shouted loudly:
"He who comes is stopped!"
Chen Mo didn't say much. A silver screen of light suddenly appeared in front of him. The faces of the eight people who saw him suddenly changed in shock, and they quickly said in unison: "Senior!"
"Call your elders to come out." Chen Mo handed the Zuo Guardian Plate to one of them, and waited outside without rushing into the city.
Not long after, a young man in purple robe rushed over after receiving the news. He was in the same early stage of foundation building as Chen Mo. When they met, both parties looked at each other, and then the young man in purple robe slowly said:
"Yungang Sect Foreign Affairs Elder, Dong Ming, don't you know the name of your friend?"
Chen Mo also reported his name and returned the token at the same time. Dong Ming said: "This is not the place to talk. Brother Chen, please come to the city to talk."
"Thank you." Chen Mo nodded, gave the reins to a guard, and followed Dong Ming into the city.
...
"Brother Chen, it's been a long journey. Let's drink a bowl of tea to moisten your throat."
In an elegant room in the city, Dong Ming invited Chen Mo in and personally made a pot of tea for him.
Chen Mo took the tea cup and thanked him again, and then heard Dong Ming say:
"Brother Chen received a notice from the sect alliance and came here to support the border?"
"Alliance?" Chen Mo shook his head: "I have never heard of it. This trip is just to go to Qin via Wuluo City."
"Oh?" Dong Ming immediately knew that he had received the wrong person, but in order to avoid embarrassment on both sides, he did not show much reaction. He also sat down, made himself a cup of tea, and said unhurriedly:
"Brother Chen, then you should go south and go to Qin through Miluo City instead of coming here."
Chen Mo said: "Miluo City is about four months' journey from here. It is really too far for me."
Dong Ming said: "Brother Chen doesn't know something. Wuluo City has become a dead end. You can only enter but not exit."
"How do you say this?" Chen Mo asked calmly.
"This is Wuluo City..."
Dong Ming poured out the tea, dipped it in with his hand and drew a circle on the table: "Where we are, three thousand miles to the east is Jiuyuan County, the hinterland of the Wei State. Its city extends in all directions. Once it is lost, the Wei State will A quarter of his lifeline will be cut off and become the prey of the demonic cultivator.
Dong Ming drew a circle in front of Wuluo City again: "This is Qingshui City currently controlled by the demon cultivators. Qin State has a small number of strategic points that have been preempted by the demon cultivators."
"Judging from the information we have received so far, there are at least four demon cultivators in the early stages of foundation building in Qingshui City. If Brother Chen has extraordinary strength, he can break into Qingshui City."
"Haha..." Chen Mo laughed loudly: "Brother Dong, I like to go straight to the point. No need to pave the way. Just tell me the solution. As long as the spiritual stone is reasonable, I can still afford it."
After hearing this, Dong Ming also laughed and said: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen! You are indeed a man of temperament. Well, Dong will not give in. There are two flying mounts in Wuluo City now, which were given by Yungang Sect. Those who are preparing for war, one can fly to the Yan Kingdom, and the other can fly to the Chu Kingdom, but the price..."
"Wait a minute." Chen Mo waved his hand: "Is the flying mount safe? How can Brother Dong be sure? If the demon cultivator sees it, he won't attack it?"
"The war has not started yet. The demon cultivator also has flying mounts. If you hit me, I will hit yours. The price of the mount is quite expensive. No one can afford this loss. So far, the two sides have not appeared. As for killing the flying mount, we won’t be able to say for sure after a while,” Dong Ming said.
Chen Mo nodded to show that he understood, and Dong Ming dipped his hands in tea and wrote down the prices of the two ride locations. For Chen Mo, they were still within an acceptable range.
"Help me save a place to go to Chu State." Chen Mo said simply and clearly.
Dong Ming said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, let's listen to what Dong has to say first."
Chen Mo motioned for him to continue, so Dong Ming added: "Brother Chen also knows that the mount cannot take you alone to fly. There must be at least ten people before we can earn some spiritual stones."
"Besides, there are already ten monks on this flight to Chu State. If you want to go, you have to wait until there are ten more monks before we can set off."
Chen Mo said: "Brother Dong, do you have any solution?"
"Brother Chen, why don't you change your route to Yan State? Although it is not as convenient as Chu State to enter Qin State, most of the passes in Yan State have not been occupied by demon cultivators. It will be more convenient to turn back from there. Fei Yan State's three mounts We can leave in the future.”
"No." Chen Mo's ultimate goal is Chu State. There is no need to sacrifice the near and far away, so he asked again: "If we have to wait, how long will it take?"
"No one can say for sure. It could be three days or two days, or it could be a year and a half. But brother Chen, don't worry, Dong will let you leave Wuluo City for up to three months, even if he only takes you alone."
"Brother Dong, help me with the operation and see if I can filter out one of the monks going to Chu State. In return, I will express a little gratitude to Brother Dong." Chen Mo said calmly.
"This..." Dong Ming suddenly fell into deep thought.
Chen Mo also imitated his example and wrote a number on the table with tea.
Chen Mo knew that both he and himself were very careful. This kind of thing would never be seen in the light and must not be heard by others.
After all, Wuluo City does not belong to Dong Ming alone. There are other foundation-building monks. This is selling sect resources. Who dares to announce it loudly?
Dong Ming's eyes lit up when he saw the numbers on the table, and he immediately laughed and said: "Although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible. I will go back and study it to see if I can reject a monk who is in the Qi refining period. Tomorrow I’ll give you the results again, Brother Chen.”
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Brother Dong."
Chen Mo drank all the tea on the table and said slowly.
