After Yu Qing left, Chong'er found a corner and opened the oil-paper bag. He saw that there were ten warm white buns. When he took a bite, they were fragrant and oily. They turned out to be meat buns. He immediately had a delicious meal and a look of happiness on his face. .
Despite his small stature, he has a big appetite. He ate all ten buns in just a few strokes.
As soon as the sun came out, the team set off again. The bearded sergeant kept his promise. Sure enough, Chong'er was arranged to look at the luggage. He got into the luggage car and sat on a pile of luggage. It was definitely much easier than yesterday.
In fact, he didn't feel any tired at the end of the day yesterday. He had always had plenty of energy. It was a bit strange to see others looking so tired.
As everyone knows, it is all the effect of those three bowls of spiritual rice. He does not know how to practice martial arts, nor does he have the luck to absorb and smelt spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the three bowls of spiritual rice has dispersed into his limbs and bones. If he does not eat it for a month, he will not be able to survive. You won't starve to death even if you drink, and you won't be able to consume anything even if you walk for a day.
Day after day passed, and five days later, the group walked out of the states.
As soon as you leave the country, you are greeted by the vast mountains with a different kind of momentum.
As soon as you leave the country, you will see the ancient tomb wasteland with a mysterious atmosphere.
Before entering, all the candidates were informed that the Ancient Tomb Wasteland was a vast area. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take half a month to pass through. During this period, the restrictions on everyone might be strict. This is also the only section on the way to Beijing where you have to live at the inn. There is no way, there are no towns on the road, only the inn that has been opened up.
Of course, relevant people have already laid the groundwork for the inn where we want to settle.
When the towering ancient trees appear on both sides of the road, the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient tomb gradually begins.
About an hour after entering, someone in Yu Qing's car suddenly pointed out the window and shouted, "Over there, look, that should be the landmark entering the ancient tomb wasteland in the direction of Liezhou. Seeing this means that we have gone deep into the ancient tomb wasteland. Tomb Wasteland.”
Everyone's heads were crowded around the window to look out, and Yu Qing was no exception.
There is a canyon on the roadside. At the end of the canyon, there is a huge dark gray immortal skeleton. The skeleton, which is almost as high as the canyon, seems to be embedded in the mountain in a sitting position. It seems that its hands are holding both sides of the canyon, as if it is sitting on a throne. The king is waiting for those who enter the canyon to worship. He is majestic and intimidating.
It's a pity that passers-by only pass through the entrance of the canyon, and no one goes to worship.
"The wasteland of ancient tombs, the burial place of giants, is the legendary strongman who served the gods."
The speaker's tone was full of emotion, and the shock of the powerful visual impact when he first saw it was beyond words.
It was also Yu Qing's first meeting, but his eyes quickly fell on the Grand Archmaster who was riding by on horseback. While the candidates were full of surprise at the fantastic sight in front of them, the bow and arrows carried by the Grand Archmaster were already in his hands. The heightened alertness is obvious.
This made Yu Qing feel a shiver in his heart. The actions of the great archer at least showed that this area needed to be more vigilant, which made him cautious.
There was no incident on the day, and the group arrived at the destination station safely and smoothly.
Due to the special environment, there is really no other resting place along the way. Most people neither dare nor have the ability to operate an inn on this route. The only place where normal people can stay and rest is the official inn. Due to special circumstances, the post station on this road is allowed to be shared by the government and the people. In turn, it can increase profits and maintain the inn station. Because of the high demand, the function and area of the inn station here are quite large.
This station has special functions today and is no longer open to the public. It only accepts teams going to Beijing to take the exam.
Business travelers traveling to and from will be notified at the inns in front and behind them. They must either rush to the inn in front of them in the dark, or stop and rest in advance. No matter how much money they pay, the inn in front of them will not accept them. They will have to figure it out by themselves. If something goes wrong, Responsible.
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset.
"Good times have to be found in dangerous places!"
Many of the candidates who got off the bus sighed because of the beautiful scenery in front of them. They were so inspired by poetry that you can say something and I can say something.
In front of me is a very beautiful inn, surrounded by a circle of huge towering old trees and an open space. The inn is located in this open space. There are strange peaks and beautiful water outside, and there are many tree houses on towering ancient trees. Someone is collecting clothes to dry on the platform outside the tree house. The red glow renders it beautiful.
A group of scholars suddenly couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to go up to enjoy the scenery, but they couldn't. It wasn't even a place for them to live up there and something could easily happen.
Fu Zuoxuan, the escort envoy, ignored the scholars and strode towards the main hall of the post station.
The man in gray accompanying him on the left is an agent dispatched by the Sinan Mansion to the states and is responsible for participating in the protection of candidates. His name is Jin Huahai.
Accompanying him on the right is an old man with gray hair named Jiang Yinian. He is the oldest Grand Archer in the Liezhou military. Nearly half of the Grand Archers in Liezhou are his disciples.
At the foot of the steps outside the main hall of the inn, there was a dark-skinned man waiting here in advance, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Fu."
Fu Zuoxuan stopped and asked, "How is the situation?"
The swarthy man said: "We have scanned the area within three miles of the inn, and there is nothing suspicious at the moment. Hidden sentries have been set up around the area, and any unusual approach will warn you in advance. The entire inn has been sprayed with pesticides inside and outside, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants will not dare to approach."
This person is from the Lizhou Military. Lu Jikai, the state pastor, is still worried about the route to the ancient tomb wasteland. He also ordered the military to send two groups of concealed and capable troops to rush to the inn where the examinee team was going to stay in advance, and move the inn and Comprehensive military measures were adopted to control and deploy surrounding areas.
The swarthy man is the person in charge of the first group of people, and the other group has already rested and prepared at the next destination station. In short, the two groups of people are alternately preparing for the daily destination station, and they are taking care of each other alternately.
Fu Zuoxuan nodded: "Thank you."
"It's my job." The swarthy man said politely and excused himself.
Fu Zuoxuan turned around and faced the two men on his left and right, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Zhou Mu have sent additional outposts to protect us, but we still cannot relax our own defense!"
Jiang Yi Nian: "I will arrange a rotation here, with nine archery masters in one group."
Jin Huahai: "Sinan Mansion will send some people to serve as secret sentries inside and outside the inn, Master Fu can sit back and relax."
As he said, it was a peaceful night and nothing unusual happened.
Day after day, you can see endless fantastic scenery along the way, and the official road across the ancient tomb wasteland seems to be a miracle.
From time to time, you can see the skeletons of giants on the road, either abandoned in the mountains or half exposed on the ground. The candidates have gradually become accustomed to this...
Deep in the foothills, on the flat top of a mountain, stood three men and two women.
The man and woman standing side by side were the "black and white" couple who spied on the activities of Mu Mansion's official residence at the Yuelai Inn in Liezhou Fucheng.
The other two men and one woman are also demon cultivators. The tall and thin man with disheveled hair and a hooked nose is named Gao Yuan, the bald man in white is named Jiang Shan, and the old dove-skinned old woman in gray is named without a name. She is called the Rat Grandma.
The three demons are local demon cultivators in this ancient tomb wasteland. They were invited by the Black and White couple to conspire with each other, but their words were unkind and they seemed unhappy.
While the five demons were talking coldly, a flying eagle broke through the clouds and descended from the sky. When it landed on the top of the five demons, it released its talons and dropped a bamboo tube.
Gao Yuan raised his hand, took the bamboo tube, opened it on the spot, and pulled out a roll of paper. After reading the contents, he looked into the distance, took a deep breath and said: "The team rushing to take the exam has already set off. It is estimated that they will arrive at noon. Our ambush location. In broad daylight..." He looked up at the cloudy sky, "Fortunately, the sky is still beautiful." Then he turned his head and looked at the black and white demons, "I really don't understand, before the candidates gathered, you Why don't you take action and wait until a large number of people are escorting you?"
Bai Lan said bitterly: "It's not that we don't want to, but those dog officials are really cunning. First of all, the Sinan Mansion is using some candidates as bait to set up a trap, not to mention that it is really taboo to rush into the city and fight; secondly, the candidates are transferred There are endless methods. We can't stop people when we see them on the road. That would be courting death. The most hateful thing is that someone finally succeeded. Those dog officials actually made public the news that the deceased had no registration reference and said that he was not a candidate. Who can check with them? Can’t do it?”
Gao Yuan snorted coldly: "Escort power is not trivial. If you bump into it, you will definitely suffer heavy losses. I advise you and your wife, it's not too late to regret now!"
Hei Yunxiao laughed and said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, with the help of three people, this matter will definitely succeed."
The bald man in white snorted coldly: "I promised you that I will only assist, and my people will not participate in the killing."
Hei Yunxiao: "With Brother Jiangshan's help, those great archers are useless. As long as Brother Jiangshan raises the overwhelming fog, they can be as strong as thousands of troops. My three hundred brothers will take over to fight and kill. All you need to do is give your full assistance." That’s it. I will never break my promise afterwards, and the benefits will be shared equally with everyone. However, I will also say some ugly things up front. If anyone doesn’t mean what he says and plays some superficial tricks and refuses to contribute, don’t blame me for running to the empress. While gossiping!"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan, Jiang Shan and Grandma Shu all had gloomy faces and remained silent.
The three of them had also heard about Empress Qixia, but they didn't want to get involved in such a thing. Even if they knew that the team rushing to take the exam would pass through the ancient tomb wasteland, they were prepared to pretend that they didn't know anything.
In the final analysis, there was only one reason: Empress Qixia was far less powerful than Sinan Mansion.
The black and white evil spirits are here to hunt wild food, and they can run away after they finish their work. What should they do?
The three of them have been cultivating in the ancient tomb wasteland for many years. They have their own territory, and they also have their own power and property on the territory. After many years of hard work, they have such a stable position. They have nothing to do to find trouble and go against the biggest force in the Jin Kingdom near their own home. What is it if it's not stupid?
As soon as they make a move, they will be exposed immediately. It would be strange if the Sinan Mansion didn't wipe out their lair later.
Don't talk about them, any demon cultivator with territory, power and a certain level will basically not get involved in this matter. A monk can run away but cannot run away from the temple. If you can make money or spend money on life, what should you do with it?
But the Black and White couple found them. They didn't agree at first, but they moved out of Qixia Empress. I want to ask you, do you want to watch the empress's jokes on the side, or do you want to help her vent her anger?
