Chapter 106: Encountering a Strange Village on the Road
Zhongzhou is located in the north of Nanli Prefecture, and is the center of Dagan, known as the middle of heaven and earth.
As for Zhongzhou Shenjing, Dagan Kingdom is the center of the center, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from Tianhuozong to Zhongzhou.
During the period, it spanned several states, with dangerous mountains and rivers, countless miasma and poisonous swamps, and many natural dangers.
For ordinary people, it may take more than ten years or even decades to cover such a long distance, and it may even be difficult to cross in a lifetime.
Even for practitioners, this journey is definitely not something that can be easily crossed.
But to Jiang Chen, this was nothing.
With his cultivation base reaching his current state, it is no problem to walk against the wind and use escape methods to travel thousands of miles a day.
Now that there is even the Five Elements Heaven Dungeon, even with only the first layer of Fire Dungeon, the speed is several times faster than before.
The originally planned journey of nearly a month can be shortened by half.
This is the reason why Jiang Chen didn't go all out on the road, otherwise, if he did his best, nonstop day and night, at his current speed, he would be able to reach Zhongzhou in seven days at most.
"It seems that there are people smoking below, just go down and have a rest."
There was a golden light in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he had already seen what seemed to be a village more than a hundred miles away.
He had already traveled for nearly a day, and his mana had been consumed by more than half, so he just went down to rest.
After a while, Jiang Chen landed on a road less than a dozen miles away from the village.
There is a hill in front of him, and as long as he goes around the hill, he can see the village.
This road seems to be an official road, and it is close to the border, where the three states converge. To the south is Yuezhou where Gu Shenzong is located, and to the east is Yuzhou where Yaowangzong is located.
This kind of place has always been beyond the reach of the king's law, and it is extremely easy to breed bandits and chaos.
However, Jiang Chen saw from the air that this place seemed quiet and peaceful, which was different from what he imagined, so he lowered the light and prepared to go to the village ahead to rest for a while.
Otherwise, if it was really such a messy place, he would naturally not mind meddling.
"Brother in front, is this road in the direction of Yuezhou?"
At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, followed by a rough voice.
Jiang Chen looked back and saw a group of merchants coming up from behind.
It seems to be a secular caravan, the scale is not small, there are more than ten fully loaded carriages, and there are more than thirty people who look like escorts accompanying them.
Adding some handymen and the master's family, there are almost seventy people.
"Yes, this road leads to Yuezhou."
Jiang Chen responded, and at the same time, he looked at the carriage at the end of the convoy. He sensed the aura of a practitioner inside. His cultivation base was not strong, and he had just entered the eighth level of Taoism.
Moreover, that person is already very old, and there is no possibility of breakthrough in this life, and maybe he will turn into a pile of dust in a few years.
However, this is nothing, although people in the practice world disdain to be in the same class as ordinary people, there are always some practitioners who see no way out to join the ordinary people.
Or, simply rely on the accumulated wealth and tyrannical power for many years, or take advantage of it, or work a little bit, in short, there are many people who earn a family business.
There are even some practitioners who are too lazy to do it themselves, and directly seek refuge in ordinary wealthy families, becoming a guest like a guest, enjoying the glory and wealth.
The old man in the carriage should be the latter.
However, these people seem ordinary, but they are obviously not good people.
Everyone's body is full of evil spirits, obviously everyone has killed someone and seen blood.
"Thanks, brother."
The man who asked the question just now clasped his fists at Jiang Chen, and then the convoy passed Jiang Chen and continued to move forward.
soon,
The convoy turned the corner and disappeared from Jiang Chen's eyes.
"This team is interesting."
Jiang Chen's eyes were dim. Just now he felt a ray of killing intent coming towards him, but in the end, the killing intent was suppressed and did not really explode.
However, if the other party dared to attack him, he wouldn't mind letting a pile of bones pile up in the wilderness.
At this moment, in the convoy, in the last carriage, two people, one old and one young, were sitting opposite each other.
The ruthless young man asked puzzledly: "Old Su, how did you stop me from making a move just now? It's just that kid, and if you did him, wouldn't anyone know it!"
"Master, there are very few people walking this road. But whoever dares to pass here, no one has any trouble. That young man has a calm face, obviously he is not a rookie who just came out of the rivers and lakes, such a person may have real skills."
"We still have a task to do. If we don't provoke such people, we should not cause trouble. Anyway, there is a village in front of us. Just go there and arrest a few people."
The old man's tone was flat, but it did make people feel the blood and ruthlessness in it. Obviously, this person is by no means as kind as he appears on the surface, and is also an extremely ruthless character.
"All right."
The young man shrugged indifferently, and then jumped out of the carriage.
Afterwards, several guards were attracted, and they rode their horses towards the village in front of them.
~~~~~
Jiang Chen's pace was neither fast nor slow, just slower than a galloping horse.
He quickly bypassed the hill and came to the village he had seen in the air.
"Green trees close to the village, green hills and guo slant outward. This village is not bad. It is close to the water and shaded by green trees. It is a good place."
"Moreover, this place is also a place where spiritual energy gathers within a radius of a hundred miles. Although it is not as famous as the famous mountains and rivers, it is still very good."
"It's a pity to be contaminated with blood evil spirit, it's a pity."
Jiang Chen looked at the village in front of him, a look of pity flashed across his face.
He walked all the way, although he only passed by roughly, but among the various villages he saw, there were really few that could compare with the village in front of him in terms of environment and terrain.
But unexpectedly, this village only had a vain appearance, and its inner strength had already been filled with a bloody evil spirit.
When he was in the air before, he was far away, and he hadn't seen through the reality of this village.
At this time, when he came to the front, under his piercing eyes, the details of the village could no longer be hidden, and it was all in his eyes.
"The caravan was also in this village just now?"
"Could it be that these people have already learned the truth, or have encountered unexpected events?"
Jiang Chen walked to the entrance of the village, and immediately saw more than ten carriages parked in an open space outside the village.
But at this moment, no one was guarding the carriages, and the coachmen and guards had no idea where they were, and they were parked there alone.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and then continued walking, stepping into the village in front of him.
