Twenty miles outside Tianxiong Pass.
The atmosphere is very weird.
A Musashi specifically stopped Chen Yuan on the road and said that he wanted to get to know him because of his charm!
He had already thought of what means he would use to solve the problem, but he had never thought of this scenario.
Then his eyes became playful.
Given his current situation, he has offended countless people, big and small, and is probably also on the record at the imperial court. How could someone dare to get involved with him?
Looking at the layer of snow on the other person's hat, I guess he had been waiting for a while.
Chen Yuan became interested. After all, it was a rare opportunity to meet a wild Musashi master. So he stepped down from the air, his clothes fluttering, and landed on the top of the peak, standing three feet away from Musashi in the bamboo hat.
"When did you come here?"
"Yesterday at 4 ."
"Oh? What a surprise. As Musashi, you can go anywhere in the world. Why do you want to stop me? I really can't think of a reason." As Chen Yuan spoke, his eyes flashed with light golden light as he looked at the other party.
This man had bright eyes, splayed eyebrows, a bronze complexion, fine stubble on his chin, a weather-beaten face, and was dressed in a plain outfit, wearing a linen shirt with a white collar and a black cloth around his neck.
However, the Qi and blood in the body rolled like a river, and the furnace in the Dantian was boiling fiercely.
Under Chen Yuan's Dharma eyes, two divine lights, one earth and one green, appeared in the temples of this person's five internal organs, and two divine treasures were ignited, showing his considerable strength.
This person just introduced himself as a wandering wanderer, but Chen Yuan didn't believe it and said with a sharp tone.
The other party, Wu Zang who called himself Yu Wenguang, raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Chen Yuan's words, and said in a meaningful tone:
"It seems that the general underestimated himself. In the battle yesterday, the general defeated the three Musashi families in a large army of hundreds of thousands, fought against the Demon Suppressor, and finally fought against the Dragon and Tiger. His demeanor shocked the Xiongguan Pass. This matter will soon spread throughout the temple and the world, and the general will become a hot figure by then."
"Who in the world won't recognize you by then!"
"I admire the general's deeds in the demon battlefield. Like the general, I do not blame the court. The general fought for Shu and shed blood on the battlefield, but in the end he was treated like this. It is really not worth it."
This person first helped Chen Yuan, and then spoke up for Chen Yuan, but his words gradually revealed that the other party had other thoughts.
Chen Yuan was very perceptive and naturally noticed it. He thought the other party was going to talk about business next.
"Your Excellency has said so much, let's get straight to the point. There is no need to say more about these polite words."
He spoke calmly.
"Jiu Zhonglang is a man of quick words. I will not be so sharp. I have been traveling around the world, making friends with people who share the same ideals. Today, the court is corrupt and the demons are rampant, causing the people to live in misery and countless corpses. Seeing this, we lament and fight hard, just for a peaceful world."
"I admire Jiu Zhonglang's style and would like to invite him to introduce me to some like-minded friends. If there is any need in the future, we can help each other."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan finally understood.
He originally thought that the other party was asking for an opportunity and that he might recommend himself and join him. However, he did not expect that he was just being too sentimental and that the other party wanted to invite him to join.
What the other party meant by this was that Chen Yuan was resisting the imperial army and had rebellious intentions.
He didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Yuan said in a playful tone,
"From what you said, are you and your people planning to rebel?"
As soon as these words came out, the other party's tone froze. He didn't expect Chen Yuan to be so direct. He calmed his tone and said,
"The sky is unfair, the earth is unfair, and I am just fighting in the martial arts world with my sword!"
Chen Yuan smiled immediately, "I admire your aspirations. It just so happens that now that the demons in Shu are causing chaos and the people are living in misery, it is a good time to need you. You can tell your friends in the martial arts world to go to the front line of Chuanzhongguan. I will wait for you there."
"this?"
The Musashi named Yuwen Guang raised his eyebrows.
"Didn't you say you would go out to fight demons and monsters and seek like-minded people? Why do you think it's difficult for me to stop you?"
Yuwen Guang's face straightened, "I sincerely invite you, General. Why are you playing tricks on me?"
Chen Yuan had a fake smile on his face, "True is true, false is false, next time you stop me, remember to tell the truth, otherwise it will ruin my mood. I thought you really had the spirit of the underworld."
"I still have military duties to attend to, that's all."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan stomped his foot, flew directly into the air, and rushed onto the Gu Diao that was hovering in the sky.
He stomped on the peak of the mountain, and it exploded with a loud bang, with rocks flying everywhere.
The Musashi quickly dodged and shattered the flying stones. Then he looked up and saw a silver light flash and disappear into the distant skyline.
After Chen Yuan left, the man's eyes turned gloomy.
Then, after a dozen breaths, two figures appeared in the void and stood on both sides of Yu Wenguang.
One had a beard, a body as thick as a black bear, and red and yellow eyebrows; the other wore a Confucian scarf and Confucian robes, and both had the aura of Musashi.
The two newly appeared people looked at the direction where Chen Yuan disappeared with flickering eyes.
"How is it?" asked the figure in Confucian robes.
"Need I ask? I can tell at first glance that it failed. That's normal. I didn't expect Shu to produce such a famous person. He's even crazier than me. I like him." The bearded man immediately responded with a voice like muffled thunder.
"Humph, he is indeed arrogant. If he were in Yan area, he would be a little angry." Yu Wenguang was a little angry.
"It seems that Lao Guang has been pissed off by others, haha." The bearded man gloated.
The middle-aged man in a scholarly robe patted the other man on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, my dear brother. We have been together in Yan and are used to doing things this way, but this is Shu. Since we can't be friends, let's not be enemies. After this battle, this man will surely be very popular in Shu. In addition, he has the protection of the Demon-Suppressing General here, so he is even harder to provoke. Besides, we are from Shu to seek opportunities. It's just that after watching the battle yesterday, we tried to contact this General Zhonglang to see if we can be on the same path. Since it doesn't work, we should just stay with him."
"Okay, let's go to Baidi City first. Yanzhou's men reported not long ago that they have taken in a girl in distress. When she was asked about her origins, she provided some interesting information. She said that her ancestors had once been on a night-sailing ship. It is said that this ship was where a great master debated scriptures. After the master died, this ship seemed to have become a spirit, guiding people with predestined relationships to hone their Dao hearts in the rivers and streams of Daqian. The girl said that this ship has been wandering around Shu for many years, and the last place it appeared was Baidi City in Shu!"
"This rumor has aroused some interest in me. After all, it is incredible that this ship can travel around the world after the death of its owner, given the level of martial arts cultivation!"
The figure in scholar's robes gave a piece of information, his eyes flickering with interest.
Once these words were spoken, they successfully diverted the attention of the remaining two people.
"Is there such a strange story?" Yu Wenguang, who was wearing a bamboo hat, turned his head and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Brother Fan seems to have not finished speaking."
"That's right!" The figure in scholar's robe stroked his foot-long beard, "I sent people to inquire about this rumor, and after careful investigation, I actually got some results."
"It is said that several hundred years ago, there was a powerful dragon and tiger in the Jianghuai area. There was a ship like this that is highly consistent with the rumors. It's just that it has been so long that many specific things cannot be verified. I suspect that this ship is the place of good fortune that the dragon and tiger achieved after his death."
When saying this, the scholar-like man surnamed Fan spoke in a serious tone, while Yu Wenguang and the bearded man suddenly had a gleam of light in their eyes. Dragon and tiger destiny!
That is what Musashi has always dreamed of. Each level of level is a new level of heaven. Many Musashis could never touch the surface of fate in their entire lives.
"Brother said that a token is needed to enter this ship? Did you get it?"
The middle-aged man in a scholar's robe smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. I heard from my subordinates that it was a lamp. Brothers, please take your eyes off. Haha, it's just a figment of our imagination. We are just trying our luck. Anyway, the situation in Shu is changing so fast and we are here. And if it is so easy to encounter the good fortune of the Dragon and Tiger Mighty, what can we do?"
"Okay, let's go check it out!"
"go!"
Soon, the three of them turned into streams of light and disappeared on the spot.
A moment later after the three men left, a golden light suddenly flashed in the void near the mountain, and then a golden figure walked out of it.
The golden light faded, and Chen Yuan appeared!
It turned out that he did not leave, but just made a feint, then used the golden light of his Dharma Eye to conceal his body and hid here.
And those three people didn't notice anything at all.
Chen Yuan had a strange expression on his face at this time.
He heard the conversation between the three people clearly just now.
The three Musashi came from the underworld of Yan. The other party used the words "Juxiao", which seems to indicate that he is playing the role of a gangster, or a rebel?
Chen Yuan didn't care about this because his thoughts were attracted by the subsequent conversation between the three people.
Baidi City, Night Boat, Dragon and Tiger Creation
This immediately reminded him of the ship that appeared in the night when he was in Qingshan County. At that time, because of a bronze lamp, this strange ship sucked in the souls of tens of thousands of people in Qingshan County, and he turned a disaster into a blessing. With the help of the telekinesis of the people of Qingshan County, he killed the evil thoughts that he derived from himself, thus breaking through the heavenly barrier and returning with everyone.
In fact, after Chen Yuan advanced to Musashi, he occasionally recalled this incident and felt surprised. At that time, his knowledge was limited, and he did not think that the ship was so strange. Later, he recalled that it was just as the middle-aged man in the Confucian robe said just now. No matter what realm of cultivation, after the owner died, the ship still sailed in the big rivers under the night for many years, and could involve the souls of people in an entire county.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan thought of Qingshan County, the old man selling wine at the corner of the alley, and the mother and son next door who often quarreled.
Although I was only away for a few months, it felt like years had passed and it seemed like I hadn't been back for a long time.
I have experienced so many things along the way.
After being awakened by this brief episode, Chen Yuan felt that it was time to go back. There was unrest everywhere in Shu now, and he should bring the old man to his side to ensure that he could live out his remaining years in peace.
Qingshan County is more than 5,000 miles away from Tianxiong Pass, in the northeast corner of Jinguan City, so it is on the way.
In addition, the issue at Tianxiong Pass has been resolved, and the news here will soon be transmitted back to Jinguan City. Some restless guys probably won't dare to cause trouble.
After careful consideration, Chen Yuan took a quick step and decisively changed direction, heading towards Qingshan County.
The speed is strange, and it feels like I'm eager to go home!
On this day, the wind and snow stopped. Thousands of miles away, a small town located between the mountains and on the banks of the Nujiang River was bustling with activity.
The city wall built with green stones is covered with frost. Under the brand new city gate tower, the words "Qingshan" are written.
But Qingshan County at this time is completely different from what it was half a year ago.
The city, despite the ice and snow, was still bustling. The biggest change was outside the city, where buildings were lined up one after another and flowers were everywhere.
Qingshan County has been “expanded”!
It was originally a remote county located in the northeast corner of Shu, outside the Baidi City Pass, but now it has become the number one county outside the pass.
There is no other reason. A great man emerged from the 800-li Langdang Mountain.
Thanks to his reputation, no demons harmed anyone here, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and people from nearby counties came to settle here.
After all, many people outside the Great Wall had experienced the Human-Demon Rebellion, and the one who eradicated the Human-Demon Rebellion was from Qingshan County. As time went by, more and more people came here to settle down, and houses were built outside the city, gradually forming a bustling market town.
That morning, on the icy and snowy mountain road, a team of horse-drawn carriages entered the territory of Qingshan County.
These carriages were covered with canopies and pulled by strange beasts that looked like tigers and leopards, with scales on their skins, baring their teeth, and each of them had the cultivation level of Body Profound.
It seems that the people in the carriage have extraordinary origins. I wonder why they came to this remote county town in the snow and ice.
At the back of the convoy, the curtain of a carriage was lifted up.
"squeak"
A chirping sound was heard.
Then, a furry little head popped out from inside.
This little thing has grey fur, with a tuft of thin golden threads on its back. Its eyes are like obsidian, sparkling and bright, and it makes strange noises from its mouth, seeming very excited.
It turned out to be a fat golden-backed squirrel!
Very spiritual!
At this moment, a tuft of white hair emerged next to the squirrel.
Equally furry was a little fox with beautiful snow-white fur.
"chirp"
The little fox also made sounds in his throat, whispering to the little squirrel, as if they were talking to each other.
"Behave yourself, you two little guys!"
At this time, a pleasant female voice came from the carriage.
Then, the curtain was gently lifted by a hand as white as jade, revealing a beautiful face as pure as a lotus.
Almond-shaped eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, red lips, a white dress, and three pink flower marks between the eyebrows.
This woman looked familiar. She was Fang Qingzhu, who had followed Chen Yuan to Tianxiong Pass to quell the rebellion.
This girl and Chen Yuan met by chance on a night boat because of a little squirrel. At that time, the second girl was trapped in the night boat for a year and a half. Later she escaped and followed Chen Yuan all the way to Tianxiong Pass. After a brief farewell, they parted outside Tianxiong Pass.
The little squirrel and the little fox followed the woman away because of historical issues.
"We've arrived at Qingshan County!"
At this time, a voice sounded from the front of the carriage.
