After more than a month.
At this time, it was noon, the sun was scorching, the sky was clear and blue, and there was no cloud in the sky.
A forest covering an area of tens of acres is distributed on both sides of the Zhangxu wide official road, with luxuriant branches and leaves, supporting a shade.
A luxurious carriage pulled by two pure white horses was parked by the woods on the left, and a groom dressed in gray was feeding the two white horses with water and fodder.
Around the carriage, there were more than 20 people standing or sitting, guarding the carriage faintly, their eyes full of vigilance.
Most of these people had bloodstains on their bodies, but the wounds had been bandaged up. At this time, they were in groups of threes and twos, eating dry food and sitting on the ground to rest.
Under a big tree not far from the carriage, a tall young man in black was clasping his arms around his chest, leaning against the tree trunk and closing his eyes to rest his mind, with two long weapons wrapped in black cloth crossed behind his back.
The young man was Shi Mu.
But at this moment, his shoulders are empty, and the parrot Cai'er is not by his side.
At this moment, a handsome man in his thirties came towards Shi Mu from under another tree.
This person was dressed in a moon-white robe, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, a silver cloth belt wrapped around his forehead, and a head of blood-colored long hair flowing down smoothly, casually scattered behind him, giving him the feeling of a handsome handsome man.
"Brother Liu, do you know how far we are from Tianyu City?" Shi Mu asked as he heard footsteps and opened his eyes.
"There's still about a month to go."
The handsome man said, walked to a tree not far from Shi Mu, leaned on the trunk as well, and asked:
"By the way, brother Shi already has innate cultivation at a young age. Could it be that he is going to Tianyu City to participate in the Ascension Ceremony?"
"Brother Liu was joking, I don't have such a fairy fate. I just went to travel and gain some knowledge." Shi Mu shook his head.
"Brother Shi seems to be the same as the next one, he came for the Ascension Immortal Auction." Liu An said.
"Ascension Immortal Auction?" Shi Mu was taken aback.
"Oh, doesn't Brother Shi know about this?"
"Appreciate further details."
"Actually, it's not a secret here. Since each Ascension Ceremony will gather more than half of the talented disciples from the entire Dongzhou Continent to participate. In addition, there are many people who come to watch and emulate, which naturally creates the once-in-30-year Tianyu Capital Ceremony. Unprecedented grand event. Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, as the first chamber of commerce in the Lushan Dynasty, held a grand auction of immortality half a year before each Ascension Conference. It is said that at this auction, as long as you It is possible to buy anything you want in it. There is just one thing, the Immortal Auction does not accept silver bills, but only spirit stones." The handsome man smiled.
"So that's the case, thank you Brother Liu for telling me." Shi Mu listened to the handsome man's words. There is also some emotion in my heart.
He wanted to ask something more, but at this moment, there was a commotion from the luxury carriage.
The two followed the prestige, and saw that the door of the carriage had been opened, and a gorgeously dressed young boy of twelve or thirteen got out of the carriage, and then, supported by a majestic middle-aged man, walked towards Shi Mu and the handsome man. Come.
This majestic middle-aged man has a vast aura, and he is also an innate warrior, and he is also the leader of this team.
In comparison, the little boy looked much weaker and smaller. Not to mention his thin body, his face was also slightly pale, and his expression looked a little shy, but there was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shi Mu and the handsome man stood up straight.
"You two righteous men, our Young Master Hong insists on personally thanking you two!" the majestic middle-aged man helped the young man to stand in front of Shi Mu and the two, and said, his voice was like a bell, and he was full of arrogance.
Shi Mu and the two were startled, and couldn't help but look at the little boy more. Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them saw him get out of the carriage.
"The convoy was attacked a few days ago. Thanks to the two benefactors who drew their swords and saved Hong'er's life. Two benefactors. Please be respected by Hong'er." He gave a big gift to the handsome man.
"What did Mr. Hong say? We met by chance that day, and it was also our fate." The handsome man supported the thin little boy with a slight movement of his right hand, and said with a slight smile.
"It's easy to do. Mr. Hong doesn't have to do this." Shi Mu also smiled slightly.
After the thin little boy said a few more words of gratitude, he seemed to be exhausted, so he returned to the carriage again with the support of the majestic middle-aged man.
"Seeing Mr. Hong, I can't help but think of myself when I was a child." After the little boy left, the handsome man muttered to himself.
Hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but looked him up and down.
He really couldn't connect the handsome and handsome man in front of him with the thin little boy who had to be supported when he walked.
Speaking of the encounter with this handsome man and the little boy, it was really a coincidence.
Just the day before, when he was passing through a narrow and rugged valley, he encountered the convoy where the little boy was.
At that time, the convoy was being attacked by more than 20 black-clothed and masked men. Among the besiegers were four innate powerhouses, and the rest were all of late-acquired strength.
From the reprimanded words of the middle-aged man, it was revealed that they should be people of considerable status in Tianyu City.
But the besieging black-clothed and masked men turned a deaf ear to them, and launched wave after wave of slashing attacks, the target of which seemed to be the carriage.
The majestic middle-aged man led his men to resist desperately. Although he was powerful, the convoy side was still clearly at a disadvantage.
At the critical juncture, that handsome man appeared out of nowhere, joined the convoy without saying a word, entangled a natural strong man on the other side, and the situation suddenly eased.
After a little hesitation, Shi Mu let Cai'er fly, and he also drew his sword to join the battle group, and also faced an innate powerhouse on the other side.
With the addition of Shi Mu and the handsome man, the convoy quickly gained the upper hand. The masked man in black who attacked finally retreated after dropping several corpses of Houtian warriors.
Then the majestic middle-aged man asked the handsome man and Shi Mu to be the guards to escort the convoy to Tianyu City, and promised a generous reward.
The handsome man said that he happened to be on the same road, and agreed immediately. Shi Mu pondered for a while, but did not refuse.
Shi Mu has been a member of the convoy since then, and later he knew the handsome man's name was Liu An.
At this moment, a burst of noise brought Shi Mu back to reality from his memories.
When he looked up, it turned out that the convoy had been assembled and was ready to start again.
...
One night a few days later, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and there was silence and darkness between the sky and the earth.
The luxurious carriage stopped at the edge of a field, surrounded by a dozen tents of different sizes, surrounded by stars like the moon.
At this time, except for the two night watchmen, most of the entire convoy were already in deep sleep.
At this moment, in an unremarkable tent at the edge of the convoy, Shi Mu turned over and sat up, opened a hole outside the tent, moved his body, and sneaked towards a certain direction silently.
A quarter of an hour later, he appeared on the bank of a river.
At this time, the clouds opened and the moon rose, and the moonlight shone faintly on Shi Mu's face.
He was as tall as lightning, and quickly searched the bushes around the river, and found nothing abnormal.
Only then did he stand in the open space by the river, making a formula with both hands, and muttering something in his mouth.
Ever since he exchanged Yan Luo's green flower with fresh flowers last time, Yan Luo has been ignoring his call, which made Shi Mu quite depressed.
This time, not long after the incantation sounded, a black air suddenly appeared not far in front of him.
Shi Mu was overjoyed, this was the prelude to Yan Luo's upcoming summoning.
It seemed that Yan Luo was finally willing to forgive himself.
Soon, a skeleton figure holding a bone gun emerged from the black mist, and walked out as soon as he moved.
But in the next moment, an unexpected scene happened!
Yan Luo's figure blurred, and suddenly disappeared in place.
Before Shi Mu could react, there was a flash of black air not far away from the bushes, smoke emerged out of thin air, white light flowed from the bone gun in his hand, and turned into a white gun shadow, and suddenly pierced towards a certain place in the bushes .
A silver sword light burst out from the bushes in time, just in time to block Yan Luo's attack.
There was a loud bang!
The two kinds of light, silver and white, flickered and then went out, and Yan Luo's figure paused for a moment.
"Brother Shi, it's me!" A familiar voice sounded.
At the same time, a white figure sprang out from the bushes like lightning, and after a few flashes, it arrived not far from Shi Mu.
At this moment, a black air flashed beside the figure, and a bone-white long spear stabbed out with dozens of afterimages. The sharp piercing sound was like a ghost laughing, which was creepy.
The white figure was nimble, and it only swayed a few times to avoid all of Yan Luo's attacks, and then the figure blurred again, and appeared in front of Shi Mu.
Yan Luo, who had just appeared in shape, flashed a white light on his body, and was about to chase again.
Seeing this, Shi Mu quickly issued an order with his divine sense to stop him.
Yan Luo looked at the white figure standing in front of Shi Mu, the fire in his eyes flickered for a while, but then he turned around, wrapped in black energy, and disappeared out of thin air again.
Seeing this, Shi Mu smiled wryly in his heart, but soon his eyes stayed on Liu An in front of him, and said:
"Brother Liu, could it be that you are following me?"
"Brother Shi, don't misunderstand me. I won't be able to sleep next night, so I will go out to the river to take a breather. I didn't expect to meet Brother Shi here. I just wanted to come over to say hello. Who would have thought that Brother Shi's spiritual pet is so powerful. I almost made a big somersault when I took the shot." Liu An shook his head and said.
"I see." Shi Mu said.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Shi not only to be not weak in martial arts, but also to be a soul master. Speaking of which, I also have several soul master friends. If I have a chance in the future, I can introduce you to each other and exchange cultivation experience. As far as I know, soul masters are very rare." Liu An laughed.
"Brother Shi, don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret for you." Before Shi Mu could speak, Liu An suddenly blinked at Shi Mu and said in a low voice.
Seemingly seeing that Shi Mu was not in the nature of chatting, Liu An immediately found an excuse, said goodbye and left.
Shi Mu stood where he was, watching Liu An's disappearing back, with a thoughtful look on his face.
