Chapter 8 The Strange Land (500
At dusk, the people on both sides who were originally tense and even were about to fight immediately gave up their minds to take action, and looked around in surprise.
It is a scene that is exactly the same as before, but it is about two and a half hours apart from before.
It may not be two and a half different, but fourteen and a half different, twenty-six and a half different, thirty-eight and a half different...
Or, it is not that time has slipped away, but that they are in some kind of formation or a blessing in the world.
"Where is this place?" Chu Yunshen couldn't help asking.
"Are you not aware of this, you suddenly brought people to Hangu Pass and set up the Bengyun Crossbow on the city wall? "Can't you know more about this?" Chu Mu took two steps forward and asked.
"The Chu family has nothing to do with you. Someone is not your third uncle." Chu Yunshen said coldly with a stiff face.
"This is the best," Chu Mu followed suit, "Then General Chu, how dare you ask why you brought people to Hangu Pass, and also prohibit others from flying within a radius of five miles of Hangu Pass?"
It seems that because of being unfamiliar with the current scene, or if you want to exchange information from Chu Mu and other people, Chu Yunshen said after a little consideration: "The court received the news that all sects in the Yuqing Daoyi sent people to Hangu Pass, but the purpose was not clear. Therefore, Lord Zhou Mu sent a family to bring people to Hangu Pass first to prevent some situations from happening."
"We only learned that we were coming to Hangu Pass this morning, and the imperial court could receive the news one step ahead of time. Could it be that there were traitors among the senior officials of various sects?" Lan Pan, who had just come to his senses, exclaimed.
"If it is a senior, it will not be said that the purpose is unknown," Chu Mu said. "It is actually very easy to know our movements. There is no need for senior management, nor does it require true disciples who have entered the sect wall. Just ordinary disciples can do it."
"The other sects are not like my sect. They are not far from Hangu Pass. If they want to arrive in time, they must set out at least several days in advance. As long as they find the trends of the disciples of the other sects and compare them, it will not be difficult to get the destination of Hangu Pass."
Speaking of this, Chu Mu couldn't help but rub his chin and said, "But I didn't expect that this time we were not the only ones who came to Hangu Pass, but also fellow sects from other sects."
The order from the sect was to ask Xianxian Jianzi to go to Hangu Pass to welcome the Taiqing Daotuo preacher Ling Xiandu, and the other sects were not in the territory of Yongzhou, so they sent people to welcome the yarn.
"There are people from other sects, which means things are not simple." Jiang Yuanchen said.
This incident itself reveals a strangeness. Now, with a little bit of information, the strangeness has simply come to the forefront.
This Ling Xian has been wandering in the world for a hundred years. It is not the first time that Taiqing Daotui has sent preachers to tour the world. Why did he suddenly become so strange this time?
Is there something wrong with Hangu District?
Or is it because of the storm that is about to come?
No matter what the reason is, the biggest problem facing everyone now is how to get out of the current situation.
Even if you cannot escape from this unknown situation, you will at least understand the situation here.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu and Chu Yunshen looked at each other, pulled Lan Pan and retreated to the left together, while Chu Yunshen looked at Chu Mu and the other two and retreated to the right himself.
The two sides used the city gate as the dividing line and each chose one side to conduct an investigation.
Both of them did not trust each other. If Chu Mu and others were malicious, then Jiang Yuanchen's strength would definitely be able to take Chu Yunshen down.
On the contrary, if Chu Yunshen is ill-behaved, then he has the ability to cause harm to Chu Mu and the other two. Because on Chu Mu's side, he himself has Lan Pan, which is two big burdens.
Especially Lan Pan, this fat boy is still in the acquired realm. With his body of defense and thick skin and flesh, he can compete with the innate warrior, but it is useless for the current situation.
But Lan Pan's father seemed to know what was inside and insisted on letting Lan Pan send it. For this reason, he did not hesitate to the inheritance rights of the family to threaten the fat man who regards wealth as his life.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu asked, "Lan Fat, does your father know anything?"
"How did I know," Lan Pan tried to open his eyes wide and rolled his eyes. "I suspect now that I am not my biological child. My father specially sent me to die, so I can have a kiss."
"Ah........."
Chu Mu glanced at Lan Pan's figure and appearance, and then compared with the handsome handsome uncle in his memory, "It seems that it is really possible."
Lan Pan was still sighing, "Mr. Pan, I've been eating meat before. If I die like this, then I'm not a man until death? I'm losing money. Why should I practice this Great Heavenly Yuangang? Isn't it good to practice something else? This damn martial arts can't be eating meat before Wanhua Dingji, and I'm so angry that I'm so angry."
"Junior Brother Chu." Jiang Yuanchen suddenly said.
"It's a little wrong."
"No?" Chu Mu was slightly stunned, his mind moved, "It's wrong."
He closed his eyes slightly and felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him. He felt that the spiritual energy around him was no different from the previous one at Hangu Pass, and was even a little richer. However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here could not be absorbed at all. It was clearly sensed so clearly, but it could not attract a trace of spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
"If you cannot use spiritual energy, the power of those moves will decrease sharply, and your own true qi can only be restored by refining essence into qi." Jiang Yuanchen said.
It is acceptable to reduce the power sharply. Not all moves require the use of spiritual energy to increase the power, but it is a bit of a damage to the inability to recover the true energy by absorbing spiritual energy.
Compared to directly refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the efficiency of refining essence into qi is not only lower, but also consumes one's own essence.
If the energy is consumed too much, it needs to be supplemented by eating. And in this place...
The three of them looked around, let alone eating, even the grass was missing.
"I brought three bottles of fasting pills for brother Wei, but if I had not been refining essence and qi, the fasting pills would not be supported for long." Jiang Yuanchen said.
"It's okay, we still have Lan Pan." Chu Mu aimed at the fat man who suddenly became alert.
"San Master, what do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, I just thought that someone should have brought a lot of food and pills."
"Whoever stipulates that fat people will definitely bring food. And where can I hide it and eat it, and there are elixirs."
Lan Pan said, erecting her round abdominal muscles.
"Do you think I don't know that there are four storage bags sewn in your golden inner armor?" Chu Mu glanced at Lan Pan, "It doesn't matter if you don't. Anyway, your body is eaten by taking magic pills. If you have no choice, you will use it as a reserve grain."
"Are you a human being using your brother as reserve grain?" Lan Pan cried with a sad face.
"So you'd better be good," Chu Mu said, "Good guy, I don't have storage bags, you brought four of them by yourself. Tsk tsk, these four storage bags must be full, and we don't have to worry about starving to death in a short period of time."
"Lan Fat, I found that bringing you to Hangu Pass is really a very correct decision."
If this guy hadn't been here, Chu Mu and the others would probably have to worry about the need to recover.
The three of them walked while talking and checked the houses one by one. Since they didn't want to waste their precious true energy (internal energy) or their physical strength, the inspection was quite slow. It was not until the sunset completely set and the bright moon rose that they checked half of the city on the left.
In this small area, Chu Mu and others did not find any trace of living people's lives. Although there was no dust in the house, there was no edible food in all places, and there was no firewood, rice, oil and salt in the kitchen.
When the sky turned completely dark, there was not even a single light at Hangu Pass, only the moonlight shining, it was like a ghost town.
Seeing that the night was getting darker, the three of them temporarily gave up their plans to continue searching, and found a spacious house nearby, and went into the house to sit cross-legged and adjust their breathing.
It is best to keep your best in this weird place, especially at such nightfall.
As soon as they stopped, the nearby area suddenly fell into silence, and the entire Hangu Pass was really deserted.
This continued until the second half of the night.
When the bright moon gradually set, a sudden roar caused the three people who closed their eyes and breathing to open their eyes at the same time.
"Someone is fighting."
Chu Mu said while sensing the Qi Ji: "This Qi Ji doesn't look like the Taishi Feng Xiang Jue."
"It's Junior Brother Gu."
Jiang Yuanchen sensed the familiar qi, rushed out of the house, jumped onto the roof to see where the qi appeared.
Under the moonlight, a solid white sword energy crossed the night sky, and a blue figure intersected with a black figure. Both sides took all their strength, and the sword energy and palm shadow flew across.
Seeing a familiar fellow disciple appearing here, Jiang Yuanchen immediately wanted to help, but before he could put his ideas into action, two storms came from both sides at the same time.
"Hehe, Jiang Yuanchen, take care of yourself."
Two figures rushed towards each other at the same time, and the strong smell of fishy smell hit Jiang Yuanchen who was about to go to support him.
boom!
The air waves collapsed the surrounding houses, and also exposed Chu Mu and Lan Pan to the moonlight. Chu Mu seemed to have some senses at this moment and looked up slightly.
Under the bright moon, a black shadow fell from the sky, and the claws with the smell of corpse were descending from a high place, and five claw marks appeared.
Bang!
The ground was as if it was tragically chopped by five big swords, leaving five hideous cracks. After the figure with the smell of corpse and the fishy wind landed on the ground, it kicked its legs like a wild beast, and rushed towards Chu Mu and Lan Pan who were retreating.
The fishing storm became more and more pungent, and the hideous face of the figure also came into Chu Mu's eyes.
If this thing is still alive, she should be a beautiful beauty. Even with her disheveled hair, she can tell her look at her fine appearance.
Unfortunately, even the best-selling look is dead, it will be just a pile of rotten meat that has not yet been corrupted.
"Slaying corpse!" Lan Pan exclaimed, "How can people from Tianzi Sect have also appeared."
The Tianzi Sect, one of the six human and demon sects, uses corpses to control the body as the main attack method and corpses to refine the body as the foundation for cultivation. Originally, the Tianzi Sect appeared in the place where only the Taishang Demon Way should have been mixed.
This matter is getting more and more difficult.
