Chapter 326: Escape
This parchment was obviously a broken map, with the approximate locations of several countries around Yi State on it. Xu Hao said excitedly, "This map, but I spent a lot of effort and spent two full Spirit Gathering Talismans to replace it." It’s coming!”
Xiao Chen took a look at the map and saw seven countries drawn on it, all of which were mortal-level cultivation areas. Among them, Liang State was the closest to Yi State and was in the southeast of Yi State.
"How sure are you that we can successfully enter Liang Country?"
Before setting off, Xiao Chen must understand it clearly, otherwise it will be troublesome and even dangerous.
"Don't worry!"
Xu Hao patted his chest and said, "I have a way!" After saying that, he pointed to a place in the southeast of Yi State on the map. "Did you see this mountain here? It's called Nanling Mountain. I know someone here. His name is Nanling Sanren. I used to We have contacted him and he has someone in the Liang Kingdom. As long as each of us gives him ten spirit-gathering talismans full of spiritual sources, he will take us to the Liang Kingdom."
"Wait...the soul-gathering talisman?"
"This is it!"
Xu Hao immediately took out a talisman seal, and saw that the talisman seal was shining brightly, which was quite extraordinary. Xiao Chen immediately felt that it contained extremely rich spiritual power, and suddenly thought that the two old men just now seemed to have learned from those People carry many such talismans in their sleeves.
"We are going to Liang Country, we must have this..."
At that moment, Xu Hao told him about the Soul Gathering Talisman. It turned out that it was not so easy to go to other countries, especially during such a critical period like this.
Therefore, you can only bribe someone with status in another country with things, and that person will give you an identity there so that you can live there, otherwise you will only be expelled or imprisoned.
And where did this spirit-gathering talisman come from?
A spirit-gathering talisman is naturally ordinary. As long as a cultivator has a little knowledge of talisman and seal writing, it can be refined by hand. It is usually only used to condense spiritual energy.
But now it's different. Now this spirit-gathering talisman is used to condense the spiritual source leaked from Yi Kingdom. What is this spiritual source? It is the foundation of spiritual energy. The source of spiritual energy of a country is far beyond the ordinary spiritual energy. It is the cultivation object that many Nascent Soul cultivators dream of.
But in normal times, who would dare to take advantage of Lingyuan without losing his head? But now, Yiguo's spiritual source is leaking.
Xiao Chen finally understood this time. No wonder the Yi State's national religion tried every means to prevent the cultivators from leaving. It turned out that they not only wanted to repair the spiritual cracks, but also these cultivators plundered countless spiritual sources, took them to other countries, and donated them to people.
I thought that these cultivators were also selfish. Their own country had become like this, and they still plundered spiritual sources. But then I thought about it, isn't the state religion selfish? In order to repair the spiritual cracks, others were allowed to die one after another.
Come to think of it, there is no such thing as selfishness in this world. It's just that in the face of disaster, people just fly on their own. This is the way to survive.
"How many soul-gathering talismans with full spiritual sources do you have now?"
"I……"
Xu Hao scratched his head and took out a stack of talismans from his sleeve, but there were only about twenty of them. This was not a small amount of money. Xiao Chen didn't expect that he had plundered so many spiritual sources. No wonder he had just plundered so many spiritual resources. The two old men are looking for him.
"I only got a dozen or so, but Brother Wuchen saved my life today. Well, I, Xu Hao, am by no means an ungrateful person. I'll give this to you."
As he spoke, he took out half of it and handed it to Xiao Chen. You must know that a Soul Gathering Talisman that is full of spiritual resources is worth more than life. If you go to Liang Kingdom, you must have enough Soul Gathering Talisman to bribe Liang Kingdom. Only talented people can do it.
Xiao Chen did not reach out to take it, but said, "Give me some ordinary spirit-gathering talismans."
"ah?"
Xu Hao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and he said with a smile, "There are not many full Soul Gathering Talismans. Ordinary Soul Gathering Talismans are enough!" After saying that, he took out a large stack of unused Soul Gathering Talismans from his sleeves.
"enough."
Xiao Chen casually took dozens of spirit-gathering talismans and put them into his sleeves. Now he was asked to plunder the spiritual source of Yi State like others. Although it felt like taking advantage of the situation, there was nothing he could do.
He wants to find the Fusang Flower and go back to save Weiyang, so he must leave here as soon as possible. If he can convince the Yi State's state religion and tell them that he is not from Yi State and let him leave safely, then he can leave Yi State without leaving any flower or grass. But now, does it seem like there is any truth to it?
It was getting dark now, Xiao Chen glanced towards the southeast and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he moved forward and headed that way.
Xu Hao, who was behind him, recovered from his injuries and immediately followed him. The two of them walked quickly. By night, they had covered a thousand miles. However, Xu Hao, who was behind him, was out of breath from exhaustion and shouted: "Brother Wuchen , wait a moment, stop for a moment..."
Xiao Chen landed on the ground with his hands behind his back. He turned around and glanced at him. Seeing him panting, he frowned, as if doubting his cultivation level, "Have you really reached the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void?" "
Xu Hao was stunned by what he said, and saw him running thousands of miles. At this moment, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was as airy as a god. He also began to doubt his cultivation, and said blankly: "Brother Wuchen, you really only have two Is it okay to do it for a hundred years?”
Xiao Chen didn't answer his words and sat down on a tree nearby. "Then let's rest for a while."
"hey-hey……"
Xu Hao blushed and sat down next to Xiao Chen. If it was a normal time, he would be respectful to someone who was a hundred years more advanced than him, and he would not dare to say a word. However, because Xiao Chen had saved his life before and gave him a healing medicine, and now they were fleeing together, he was not so unfamiliar.
"Brother Wu Chen, does your country also have a state religion?"
After a while, Xu Hao calmed down and suddenly asked.
"No."
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, but what he thought of at this moment was Tianmen. However, compared with the state religions in the East Continent, Tianmen seemed to be very good. At least it would not restrict the freedom of others, and there was no power feudal rule like the East Continent.
"Then your country is really great..."
Xu Hao's eyes showed a yearning look, and suddenly he sighed again, sadness appeared on his face, and his voice became much lower. "Everyone I know is dead... Either they were killed by others and robbed of the spiritual source when fighting for the spiritual source, or they were killed by the state religion..."
When he said this, he suddenly sneered and pointed to the sky. "Brother Wuchen, have you seen this sky-locking formation? The state religion would rather consume such strong spiritual power to prevent us from leaving than use this spiritual power to fill the spiritual power cracks."
Xiao Chen looked up at the sky and saw that the brilliance emitted by the spiritual power of the formation was as bright as the stars and the moon, so beautiful and flawless, but it was the imprisonment of all the people in Yi country, and no one could escape this beautiful cage.
He looked at the more distant starry sky again. Is such a beautiful starry sky also the imprisonment of the gods and all the people in the sky?
