Chapter 25 Under the Taiye Mountain, There Are Mixed Fish and Dragons
After leaving the imperial city, Ji Tianxing galloped westward on horseback.
From the imperial city to the Taiye Mountains in Yunzhou, there is a Qingzhou in the middle, which is a full two thousand miles away.
Even if Ji Tianxing rode a frost and snow chasing horse that could travel 800 miles a day, it would take two and a half days to arrive.
This time, he went to the Taiye Mountains to look for the red star flower. For the sake of safety, he acted very cautiously.
Apart from his father Ji Changkong and him, absolutely no third person knew about it.
In order to hide his identity, Ji Tianxing wore a black iron mask and a wide black cloak.
He galloped all the way on the official road leading to Yunzhou, and he also encountered many caravans on the way.
Although, most people will look at him more out of curiosity.
But in Qingyun, where martial arts are prevalent, it is not uncommon to wear a mask or veil to hide one's identity.
The next evening, he finally entered the territory of Yunzhou and found an inn in the city to stay.
At this time, he was still more than 300 miles away from the Taiye Mountains, and there were still four days before the red star flower appeared.
At noon on the third day, Ji Tianxing finally arrived at the Taiye Mountains and entered a small town at the entrance of the mountain, Taiye Town.
Although he was safe along the way, he did not encounter any obstacles.
But he was on the road for two and a half days in a row. After all, he was a little tired and sleepy and needed a good rest.
After entering Taiye Town, he looked for an inn in the town where he could stay.
But the location of this town is too remote, the town is small and outdated.
There are only two streets in the town, with more than 200 households living, and the streets are also narrow and crowded.
Ji Tianxing searched the whole town and only saw one inn.
This red brick and blue tile Laifu Inn is one of the largest buildings in the town.
After all, the inn has a three-story building and a fairly wide yard.
On weekdays, there are not many people in the town, and there are few vendors and shops, and the front of the inn is even more crowded.
But when Ji Tian walked in front of Laifu Inn, he saw three tables of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, eating and drinking rudely.
Those people are all just like him, and they all carry swords and knives, and there is a vague murderous look in their gestures. Obviously, they are all warriors who walk the rivers and lakes.
Ji Tianxing thought for a while, and then guessed the purpose of these warriors, most of which were also for the Chixinghua in the Taiye Mountains.
At this time, the boy in blue clothed in a cloth towel ran out of the lobby and asked him with a smile if he wanted to stay in the store.
Ji Tianxing asked for a room and stepped into the lobby quietly.
The little servant shouted into the lobby, then led the Frost Snow Chasing Horse into the backyard from the side, and went to feed the horses.
As soon as Ji Tianxing entered the lobby, several tables of warriors who were immersed in eating and drinking all cast a scrutiny.
He was wearing a mask and a black cloak, making it difficult to see the details.
Those warriors quickly withdrew their gazes and continued to bow their heads to eat and drink.
The lobby was quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull and depressing.
Ji Tianxing found out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare some side dishes before going upstairs.
The second and third floors of the inn are accommodation rooms.
The room he wanted was on the third floor, near the left fence of the backyard, and there was a big locust tree more than 20 feet tall not far from the window.
After the servant brought the food, Ji Tianxing took off his mask and started to eat.
After eating, he took a shower with hot water, then sat down on the bedside to rest, silently thinking about the next plan.
"There are still three days before the red star flower appears. It is not suitable to enter the Taiye Mountains today or tomorrow. The red star flower has not yet bloomed, and it is difficult to find it if you enter too early, and it is even more dangerous."
After thinking for a while, he decided to temporarily recuperate in the Laifu Inn for two days, and then enter the mountain the day before the red star flowers bloom.
Before I knew it, a few hours passed, and soon night fell.
During this period, several groups of people entered the Laifu Inn, which made the inn more and more lively.
Ji Tianxing stayed in the room all the time without showing his face, and even had meals sent to the room by the servant.
By the evening of the second day, the rooms in the inn were almost full.
The warriors who came and went were chatting and laughing loudly, shouting five and six, making the lobby and backyard full of people and very noisy.
Ji Tianxing stayed in the room for too long and felt a little bored, so he went downstairs to walk around at will.
He was still wearing a black cloak and a mask. As soon as he walked into the backyard, he saw a few tables in the yard.
Next to each table sat two or three warriors with strong aura, holding swords in their hands and shouting loudly.
"The Bloodblade Demon Hunting Team is recruiting! Our Bloodblade has been hunting monsters in the mountains all year round, and we have a lot of experience in exploration..."
"The Heavenly Killing Squad is recruiting! Anyone who has reached the True Essence Realm can join this squad. Let's explore the Taiye Mountains together and search for the Scarlet Star Flower!"
"Warriors! Come to our warrior group! We are the famous adventure group in Yunzhou..."
Ji Tianxing glanced at the warriors of the adventure team, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Humph! These people are ridiculous!"
"Treasures from heaven and earth, everyone wants to own them. People who don't know each other form a team, so what if they find Chixinghua? In the end, don't they want to break up and fight?"
He had no interest in several adventure teams, and was about to turn to leave the backyard, but was stopped by a burly young man.
The burly young man was wearing a brown leather armor, holding a treasured sword in his hand, and grinned: "Brother, join our warrior group!"
"If you act alone, I'm afraid that you will die under the claws of the monsters before you can find Chixinghua. If we act together, we will have a chance!"
Ji Tianxing quietly avoided it and said in a low and hoarse voice, "No need."
The burly young man looked at his leaving back, and muttered a little regretfully: "Is he a master again?"
"Masters like to act alone... There are too many people looking for Chixinghua this time, and there are many masters, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"
Ji Tianxing left the backyard and walked into the lobby.
At this time, the lobby was already full of people, and there were twelve tables full of guests.
Many warriors ate and drank around the table, constantly bringing out jars of fine wine, and the sound of the collision between the wine glasses and the bowls and chopsticks was endless.
Ji Tianxing walked slowly through the lobby, listened carefully, and found that these warriors came from all over the world, with accents from all over the world.
Moreover, many people got acquainted only when they arrived at the Laifu Inn. They either formed a team of like-minded people, or started a business through matchmaking.
All in all, Laifu Inn has never been so lively as it is today.
Hundreds of warriors gathered in the inn are also full of three religions and nine streams, and their forces are intricate.
But everyone has a common goal, that is, the red star flower in the Taiye Mountains!
