Chapter 593: Reminder From Taoist Jinchan
Deserts are normally dry and hot.
However, when Chu Qing set foot in the desert, he discovered:
There is actually wind and snow here in the desert.
However, the wind and snow here are obviously much less than those in other places.
The wind and snow fall, and soon turn into snow water, seeping into the sand
Perhaps because there is too much snow and water, there are actually some green plants in this desert.
Yes:
During the season when wind and snow sweep over, green plants appear in the desert.
Weird!
Abnormal!
Incredible!
"Is this the method of the thousand-year catastrophe?"
Chu Qing was amazed.
The thousand-year catastrophe has made life worse than death for ordinary people elsewhere.
However, the desert seems to have become a good place for ordinary people to live.
If the wind and snow continue to sweep across the desert, in another half year at most, this desert will be covered with green plants.
But...will the wind and snow continue like this?
Or will it... get bigger?
Chu Qing couldn't understand.
After a while, he accelerated, preparing to cross the desert and go to the Red Meng Empire.
The Red Meng Empire also has assessment tasks.
That task was difficult, but it was also locked.
Chu Qing believed that the other party was also a master and powerful.
"I hope the other party hasn't solved the Crimson Empire's mission yet."
"Otherwise, we have to change places."
Running all the way, he soon saw an oasis.
This oasis is exactly where he came last year.
The oasis is very large, dozens of acres in size.
Much bigger than when he left.
In the center of the oasis, there are several rows of stone houses and a wall with stones piled up to half a person's height.
There are also a large number of camels in the back yard.
There are young men carrying fodder to feed the camels.
Through the thick stone wall, Chu Qing could hear the sound of people ordering people to drink.
Chu Qing smiled.
It seems that the old man and Taoist Jinchan have managed this place well.
"I just don't know if they have met anyone taking the assessment."
He walked to the courtyard wall.
A waiter saw him and quickly invited him in and took him to the largest stone house:
"Guest, this row of rooms is where you eat and drink."
"The back is accommodation."
Chu Qing nodded.
He pushed the door open and saw that it was quite lively inside.
This scene was quite familiar to him:
There were powerful warriors, caravans dressed as businessmen's servants, and some people from the world.
It’s just that there are no people from Jinxiu Tianxia and the sect.
At the counter, there was an old man tapping away with an abacus.
Chu Qing pushed the door open, he raised his head and glanced, then froze.
The old man looked excited and opened his mouth to shout.
Chu Qing made a silent gesture and walked to the counter in a hurry.
"grown ups...."
The old man was emotional and lowered his voice.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "How are you doing during this period?"
The old man said excitedly: "Thanks to you, this Ping'an Inn is becoming more and more lively and prosperous."
"Moreover, the area of the oasis outside is also expanding."
"If this continues, the area of the oasis will double in less than a year."
Chu Qing nodded.
He was actually not very interested in what the old man said.
But still listen carefully.
The old man told interesting stories about Ping'an Inn and the comings and goings of caravans.
He even highlighted Taoist Jin Chan.
"Taoist Jin Chan is very good!"
"He goes to plant trees every day."
"Talking to fulfill my dream."
Through the old man's narration, Chu Qing learned that Taoist Jin Chan wanted to fulfill the old man's original wish:
In the desert, build a corridor.
A corridor formed by big trees.
"He rarely comes back!"
"If you follow the road outside, you can see him after walking a hundred and eighty miles."
Chu Qing nodded.
After chatting for a while, he asked the old man: "Have you seen a group of people?"
"Maybe a few hundred people, maybe a dozen people."
"They have extraordinary temperament, whether they are men or women, they have extraordinary temperament."
The old man said quickly: "Five days ago, a group of people passed by."
"They are all young, almost a hundred of them."
"Taoist Jin Chan said that this group of people is the third level master."
"There are dozens of them, they seem to be called the Tongtian Monster?"
Examiners of Dazhou Martial Arts Academy.
If there is no change in the person locked in the assessment task, then...the leader should be a person named Zuo Qianqiu.
Zuo Qianqiu, Zuo family.
From the same family as Zuo Yan.
They all have the bloodline of the strongest man on earth.
However, Zuo Yan is a sideline.
And she's still a woman.
He doesn’t have enough bloodline and physique.
And Zuo Qianqiu is a direct descendant.
According to the rules of the Zuo family, only those whose bloodline and physique reach a certain level are qualified to be called direct descendants.
If Zuo Qianqiu can become a direct descendant, he is definitely better than Zuo Yan.
and:
Zuo Yan also told him: Any person in the direct line who can reach heaven can suppress her with one hand.
"That Wanli Sword has half a set of equipment and magic weapons. I'm afraid Zuo Qianqiu also has a set of equipment and magic weapons."
"But...it won't take three days and three nights to fight with him this time!"
"The half of the divine weapon contributed by Wanli Sword is enough for me to penetrate him."
Chu Qing is full of confidence.
However, deep down in his heart, he still attaches great importance to Zuo Qianqiu.
After all, the other party is more powerful than Zuo Yan.
According to Zuo Yan, Zuo Qianqiu is almost the same as himself now.
Maybe a little weaker.
However, if the opponent also has equipment and magic weapons, it will be difficult to deal with them.
"No matter what, as long as we can find Zuo Qianqiu, we must suppress him and use him to complete the ritual."
He took a short rest in the tavern and replenished his resources.
Then, he got up and went straight to the Chimeng Empire.
tread! tread! tread!
Chu Qing stepped on the wind and snow and ran in the desert.
Wherever it passed, smoke and dust were swept away.
The wind and snow swept through, quickly suppressing the smoke and dust.
On both sides of the road, there are rows of poplar trees.
These Populus euphratica trees are no more than the thickness of an arm, but they have lush branches and leaves.
If this kind of wind and snow continues, then these Populus euphratica will grow rapidly.
Maybe in a few years, even if the wind and snow stop, these Populus euphratica will be able to survive.
and:
He also saw plants such as Elaeagnus growing on their own around him.
"Maybe with the help of this thousand-year catastrophe, a green corridor will really appear in the Daqian Empire and the Chimeng Empire!"
"By then, the exchanges between the Chimeng Empire and the Daqian Empire will probably be more frequent."
"Caravans... Jianghu people... and even each other's armies will walk along this corridor!"
"At that time..."
Chu Qing seemed to see the flames of war raging.
But...so what?
The huge empire was swept away by the thousand-year catastrophe.
Today's Daqian Empire can still support it.
However, in a few years, it will definitely look like the Great Zhou Empire:
There is no human habitation for thousands of miles, and the ground is full of bones.
It might be better if someone could escape to the Chimeng Empire along the green corridor!
After all, the Chimeng Empire has not experienced a thousand-year catastrophe yet.
After traveling for more than a hundred miles, Chu Qing saw Taoist Jin Chan.
Today's Taoist Jin Chan is just like an old farmer, just planting trees.
When he saw Chu Qing, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled honestly and continued planting trees.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "Are you still practicing?"
"If you practice kung fu, I can give you some secrets!"
Taoist Jin Chan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Practice, but there is no need to teach it secretly to me!"
Chu Qing asked curiously: "Why?"
"Although those secrets are not as good as gold and jade, they are still extremely powerful."
Taoist Jin Chan sighed and said:
"A few days ago, a group of monsters passed by."
"They made me their slave."
"Hold their horses and put them in stirrups!"
"Are you saying that I worked so hard to become a third-level master just to lead horses and put stirrups for the monsters in the sky?"
"Instead of doing this, I might as well plant trees honestly."
"By the way, when you meet them, you must run as far as you can!"
"Tongtian monsters are terrible."
"With one finger, they can suppress you and me."
"It's even possible to force you and me to be their slaves!"
Chu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll catch up with them and kill them and it'll be fine."
Taoist Jin Chan... was stunned.
