Chapter 1360: Traveling Day and Night
Li Yan came here to accompany Shangguan Tianque on important matters. He had to finish the things at hand and wait until he had time to go back to the rear of the sect.
After hearing this, Donglin Tingyue felt very anxious, but she also thought of what Liu Huaigu said to Shangguan Tianque before, and she had related speculations in her mind.
No matter how she talks about it now, Li Yan will not immediately rush back to the family with her, and she has the sense not to be entangled in this matter.
Fortunately, "Pojunmen" and "Donglin Family" belong to the same force, and the distance between the two families is much closer than that of Fangshi.
The two families are only tens of thousands of miles apart, which doesn't take much time for them as Yuanying monks. Moreover, if Donglin Tingyue goes back, most of the journey will be with Li Yan and the others.
After returning to the inn, just as the three of them were walking towards their respective rooms, Dong Lin Tingyue's voice rang in Shangguan Tianque's mind.
"If fellow Taoist Shangguan has finished the matter and still believes in my little sister, I am willing to go back with you!"
Shangguan Tianque's footsteps paused slightly. He was also an extremely smart person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Dong Lin Tingyue's words.
The other party should have seen his plan, which is to leave here at any time, and this departure must be silent, not wanting others to know.
I rented this place for half a month, but even after letting others inquire about the information, I still couldn't determine the time when I would leave Fangshi.
There is another meaning in Donglin Tingyue's words. If she agrees to leave with the other party, if something happens on the way, she may help him.
The key here depends on whether you believe the other party. Shangguan Tianque pondered for a moment and immediately sent the message to the other party.
"Fellow Taoist, just be ready!"
Immediately, Shangguan Tianque walked towards his room.
At this moment, he already had speculations about whether Donglin Tingyue had completed the transaction with Li Yan. Donglin Tingyue was not in a hurry to return to the family.
First, the two of them failed to complete the transaction immediately before, but it should not be the kind of transaction that failed. This can be seen from Donglin Tingyue's attitude.
The biggest reason may be Li Yan, and Donglin Tingyue may want to look for other opportunities in Fangshi if he fails to complete the transaction immediately.
Secondly, after Donglin Tingyue got the detoxification pill, she had the same worries as herself, fearing that something might happen to her on her way back if she was alone.
After considering the relationship between the two families, the other party chose to believe in him and planned to return with him, so that they could take care of each other on the way.
It has to be said that when they reach this level, even the eyelash holes are empty. Often the other party can guess a lot of things with a casual sentence, and it is extremely close to the truth.
Four days later, in the early morning, Shangguan Tianque took Li Yan to the auction house. This time he did not call Donglin Tingyue. If the other party was willing to go there, he would probably go there alone.
Everyone has privacy, and it is better to keep a certain distance. After everyone enters the auction house, the auction house will give everyone a black robe from head to toe.
After putting on this robe, and suppressed by the auction house's formation, it is said that monks below the integration stage should not want to know who is under the black robe.
Their voices will be changed into various tones that are inconsistent with their own, and after putting on the black robes, all of them will be the same height, short, fat, and thin.
You can't tell from other people's figures whether they are male or female, old or young, or whether they are someone you are suspicious of.
this
It is a kind of protection for all guests at the auction house. When leaving, the guests will also be separated one by one through different passages. This is an important reason for everyone to feel at ease at the auction house.
Only people like Shangguan Tianque and Li Yan who entered together knew who each other was.
Therefore, Shangguan Tianque did not want to know whether Donglin Tingyue would enter the auction house, nor did he want others to know when he entered. After the two of them left the inn, they found a place to change their appearance...
Time flew by, and half a day passed quickly. When Li Yan and Shangguan Tianque returned to the inn in batches, no one knew where they had gone.
Of course, you can suspect that they went to the auction house, but at least you have no idea whether the other party participated in the bidding after entering, whether they got something, etc.
Or, the other party just walked around the market and said it was not certain.
After Li Yan returned to the room, he began to sit cross-legged and meditate. In the auction house, Shangguan Tianque finally spent all his money on it, and finally took a photo of the "Kong Silver Grass" growing side by side.
Li Yan estimated that Shangguan Tianque's spiritual stones were almost exhausted, but fortunately, at this auction, many herbs appeared that could help the Nascent Soul monks break through.
There should be fewer people fighting for it. Even if there are people like Liu Huaigu, they can't be sure what Shangguan Tianque is ultimately interested in and what kind of raw materials he needs.
It is impossible for him to participate in the price increase for every item he suspects is Shangguan Tianque bidding, so if he makes a mistake, he will have to buy it.
If he is just a Nascent Soul cultivator who dares to mess up the reputation of a business due to random bidding and insufficient spiritual stones, he may not be able to walk out of this market alive.
After Li Yan saw the "Kong Silver Grass" appear, although Shangguan Tianque's voice became very deep after putting on the black robe, he still heard the depression in his voice.
That was after he increased the price again and again, he was trying hard to suppress his anger towards those who increased the price, and he was also deeply worried.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Li Yan immediately entered into pranayama meditation, intending to maintain his condition at its peak.
After taking the photo of the "Kong Silver Grass", Shangguan Tianque immediately sent a message to him that they would leave Fangshi at night three days later.
Shangguan Tianque did not choose to leave immediately after the auction, so of course he avoided the attention and speculation of some people at the moment.
Late at night three days later, when Li Yan left the inn alone, his consciousness began to explore everywhere. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he dodged and entered a long alley...
When he came out again, he had turned into a bald old man in gray clothes. As he swayed around, he quickly integrated into the night market in front of him. Many places in the market were open day and night.
Night markets in some places are often even more crowded than during the day, with people coming and going and bustling.
After Li Yan entered several shops, he wandered around the free market for more than half an hour before walking slowly along the street in the southwest direction.
There is an exit from Fangshi there, and there are many monks leaving Fangshi at this time. Many people here are reluctant to stay here for one night and save a lot of spiritual stones.
So once you buy what you want, you leave immediately. But most of them are in twos and threes, or even
To four or five people traveling together...
Three hundred miles southwest of Fang City, this place is beyond the jurisdiction of Fang City. In the dark night, the mountains are like creeping monsters, far or near, giving people a feeling of coldness and coldness.
It seems as if they will pounce out at any time and choose anyone to eat!
In the dense jungles or grasses everywhere, various strange sounds are heard from time to time, like night owls laughing strangely, or like ferocious beasts roaring in the dark night.
High in the sky, a figure silently landed at a mountain stream in the forest in a valley. The gurgling stream here made a crisp sound, which could be heard far and wide in the night.
The black and white light reflected by the stars in the sky makes the scene here look extremely dark.
When the figure fell, the man immediately looked around. As he glanced around, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared from under the shadow of a huge boulder in front of the mountain stream.
The man appeared silently, so the moment the figure was revealed, the visitor who fell into the mountain stream was shocked.
Immediately, he saw the bald old man in gray shirt standing there on a moonlit night. The bald old man in gray shirt made a strange gesture to the visitor, who immediately felt relieved.
The visitor also chuckled, and immediately made a strange gesture in his hand.
"Elder Li is so clever. I didn't even realize you were hiding here. I thought I had arrived early."
Through the light in the night, you can see that the person coming is a fat monk. He is patting his glowing head and laughing.
The chuckle that came out was somewhat inconsistent with his fat figure, and seemed very gentle.
"I have just arrived. Since you are already here, let's hurry up and go back as soon as possible!"
The bald old man in gray shirt was Li Yan. Looking at the fat monk in front of him, he didn't expect that Shangguan Tianque would transform into such an appearance. It was extremely difficult to connect it with him.
Both of them had changed their appearance. In order to avoid misunderstanding, they had already agreed on the confirmation gesture when meeting.
Moreover, at this time, both of them spoke in their own voices, and they quickly determined each other's identity.
"Better wait a moment, Fairy Tingyue hasn't come yet!"
Shangguan Tianque used sound transmission this time, and quickly chose a shaded place and blended in instantly.
"Oh? She's going back with us too?"
“She had made this request, but we only set the return time when the auction was over, so we didn’t rush to inform her.
I just sent her a message tonight, so I'm not sure whether she will be willing to leave together today? We will wait here for another half an hour before setting off! "
Shangguan Tianque said through the voice transmission, his voice revealed a calmness, and there was no more explanation for concealing Li Yan.
After Li Yan heard this, his heart moved.
"Shangguan Tianque is so careful. He didn't tell me about this matter until now, and he only informed Donglin Tingyue at the last moment..."
Regarding Donglin Tingyue's request to leave together, Li Yan guessed that it had something to do with him. The other party might be afraid that something would happen to him, so he wanted to go with him all the way to ensure his own safety.
As for what he did to Shangguan Tianque, although Li Yan was not happy, he thought that he and the other party were not too close.
Being familiar with it, it is normal to be wary.
Moreover, he also concealed a lot of things, and the other party should be able to guess some of them. Therefore, there is no heart-to-heart talk between the two parties. It can only be said that from the perspective of the sect, they still trust each other.
However, as long as the other party doesn't plot against him, Li Yan can just do his part and he won't care too much.
The other party led the way to "break the military gate" and became famous, and it still exists today. This is also inseparable from the other party's caution, otherwise they would have been eaten by others without leaving any bones or residue.
Li Yan can understand this. He is not borrowing the other party's place to settle down temporarily.
Once he was ready to go to Cangxuan Realm, he would not have any contact with them in the future.
Afterwards, the two of them hid in a place and quietly communicated again. About half a cup of tea later, another figure quietly landed in the mountain stream...
In the night, on a flying magic weapon called "White Jade Boat", three people stood on the boat. The illusionary appearance of Li Yan and Shangguan Tianque did not recover, but remained in the previous appearance.
At the head of the boat, Shangguan Tianque and Donglin Tingyue were communicating with each other, while Li Yan stood behind with his hands behind his back. He released his spiritual sense and scanned around. In the night, there were rays of light crossing the sky, near or far.
There were more than three of them rushing on the road in the night, but after sensing each other, they would choose to avoid each other's route for some distance, obviously not wanting to cause trouble.
This "white jade boat" is also a flying magic weapon that Shangguan Tianque took out. The Qingyunque did not use it when he came here, so as not to be used by familiar people to find out their origins. He is really very careful in everything.
Li Yan looked at the young man standing beside the fat monk in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
"If you really care so much about your appearance, even when you transform into a man, you have to be extremely handsome. Isn't it still eye-catching? The effect is greatly discounted!"
At this moment, Donglin Tingyue has transformed into a young man, but he looks like a handsome young man in the world.
Although Li Yan didn't know what the other party looked like under the silver mask, he still felt that the other party's transformation into this appearance was still a bit eye-catching. For Li Yan, he would never do this.
Under the starry sky, various flying magic weapons turned into meteors of different colors, flashing like arrows, making the night sky look gorgeous and dreamy...
But under this dreamy starry sky, there are many murders and treasures happening constantly. The three of them took advantage of the night and flew to the southwest!
Five days later, only Li Yan was left in front of the "White Jade Boat", and the other two were meditating with their eyes closed in the back.
The three of them just talked about some things in the early stage, and there was not much to talk about.
Especially Dong Lin Tingyue, after asking about Li Yan's background several times indirectly, saw that the other party was very cautious about it and didn't want to talk more, so he gave up the idea of exploring the news.
Afterwards, the three of them divided the work a little bit, each of them took turns to operate the "White Jade Boat", always paying attention to the surrounding movements, and the other two meditated and rested.
So, the three of them traveled all the way, and the journey was calm.
After all, the three of them exude the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm, so they are considered a strong team here. Unless there are cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm who bully the weak, otherwise, there will be a few other cultivators who are so short-sighted as to come and find them.
