Chapter 325: Departing from Xiao Country, misjudged the robbers (5k3, please subscribe)
Leaving Yushanfang City, Wei Tu followed the address given by Yu Tong and came to a dense mountain forest near the border of Kang State.
With a quick glance of his consciousness, he discovered that there were more than twenty monks sitting or standing on the steep rocky cliffs to the south of the mountain forest, waiting for the flying boat to arrive.
Most of the more than 20 monks are in the middle or late stage of foundation building, and only a few of them are in the golden elixir realm.
It’s just that unlike the Golden Core monks who travel alone, these foundation-building monks travel in groups of three or five, carrying their Qi-training heirs, a bit like... dragging a family with them.
“The cultivation of immortality is well developed in Xiao State, and the difficulty of forming elixirs in Xiao State is much lower than that in Kang State.”
Wei Tu took a look at it and thought to himself.
With immigrant immigration for the immigration of immortal immigration families although rare in the world of immortal cultivation, but they are not unique.
The environment for cultivating immortals in Xiao State is far better than that in Kang State, which is close to the border.
Of course, once you reach the Jindan realm, the advantages of immigrating to Xiao Country are almost gone.
On the contrary, it is relatively easier to become an oligarch in a backward country such as Kang and to seize resources.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just when Wei Tu was about to fall back, three rays of light suddenly came rushing from the northwest and stopped a hundred steps away.
The leader was a one-eyed old man wearing an eyepatch. He had a strong aura and did not look easy to mess with. Behind him was a pair of young monks who seemed to be a couple, whispering to each other and acting affectionately.
The one-eyed old man looked at Wei Tu for a few times. He did not come forward to say hello, but walked towards the south of the jungle with the couple behind him.
"That person just now was not easy to mess with. His magic power was solid and his aura was like an abyss. He was a troublesome person."
As soon as he turned around, the long-haired male cultivator in the young couple stopped smiling. A cold look flashed in his eyes and he licked his lips.
“This mission, try to avoid him.”
The one-eyed old man nodded slightly. He and the long-haired male cultivator came from the same sect, and both had powerful secret skills to sense the cultivator's strength.
The long-haired male cultivator is a proud figure in the sect, and he has mastered this secret technique of perception to a very high level.
"These three people, like me, have concealed their realm? And they have a lot of murderous intent?"
At the same time, Wei Tu also used Zhidiandu to be keenly aware of the unusualness of the three one-eyed old men.
The apparent strength of the three of them is one in the early stage of Golden Elixir and two in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but according to his opinion, the two young lovers are also genuine Golden Elixir.
Of course, the realms of the three of them are not high, and they are all near the early and middle stages of the Golden Elixir.
“The Six Desires Sect is in chaos, and only the Canglang Chamber of Commerce dares to do business from the Kang State to the Xiao State. During this period, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad.”
Weitu suppressed his doubts.
He flicked his sleeves and robe, followed the three one-eyed old men, and settled near the stone cliff.
“Yu Wencheng?” After waiting for about half a day, Wei Tu saw a familiar monk on the cliff.
Yu Wencheng was the genius of the Sheri tribe who won the first place in the Three Tribes Sword Trial Competition more than 20 years ago.
“What is he doing in Xiao country?”
Wei Tu is puzzled.
The three major tribes of Kangju people are in a semi-closed state within Kang State, and they do not have close exchanges with the immortal sects of Kang State, let alone the exchanges with Xiao State, the headquarters of the immortal way.
“Mr. Hong, how long will it take for the Canglang Chamber of Commerce’s passenger ship to arrive?”
Yu Wencheng turned his head, glanced at the old man beside him, and said impatiently.
This ancient and rare man is called "Hong Lao", and he is the protector who has followed him for many years.
“We’re almost here, Prince.”
Mr. Hong replied in a low voice.
This conversation attracted the attention of the monks present.
The cultivators immediately understood that Yu Wencheng’s status was probably not simple, he was either rich or noble.
…
A few hours later.
As a huge wind wave slanted down from the clouds and hit us, the monks who were standing on the stone cliff finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few breaths later, a giant red spirit boat nearly a hundred feet long quickly descended from high altitude and hovered in front of the cultivators.
Seeing this, the cultivators rose into the sky one after another, and with a flash of light, they rushed into the opened hatch of the red spirit boat.
“Yu Wencheng, a monk from the Sun Shooting Department.”
At the cabin door, there are deacons from the Canglang Chamber of Commerce who are responsible for verifying tickets and checking identities.
Yu Wencheng took the lead and reported his origins to the deacon.
Wei Tu was not interested in Yu Wencheng. Most of his attention was focused on the three one-eyed old men behind Yu Wencheng.
“Qingming Gate, Liang Road.”
The one-eyed old man revealed his identity.
“Qingmingmen, Liang Yijiang, Gu Xianglan.”
The young couple linked arms and walked together to Deacon Lingzhou and said with a smile.
Qingmingmen?
Wei Tu frowned. He had never heard of this sect in Kang State.
But considering how the three one-eyed old men concealed their strength, Wei Tu didn't have the time to think too much about the false information given by these three people.
Soon, it was Wei Tu’s turn to verify his identity.
Wei Tu, who was in the cabin, sensed the obscure spiritual consciousness coming from inside the spirit boat and stayed on him for a few breaths.
“In Dingshanfang City, Yiyun is a casual cultivator.”
Wei Tu immediately reported his false identity for this trip.
He has caused a lot of trouble. He will not reveal his true identity casually when traveling.
With Yu Tong as the guarantor, the steward at the cabin door did not make things difficult for Wei Tu. He casually glanced at the information on the ticket and then let Wei Tu pass.
…
There are three classes of guest rooms in Dengyun Feizhou.
They are ordinary rooms, VIP rooms and luxury boxes respectively.
Weitu bought a low-price ticket circulated within the chamber of commerce and could only stay in ordinary rooms.
However, Wei Tu is also happy with this.
First, the journey is short, there is no need to spend high prices, and you can enjoy materialistic enjoyment that is not cost-effective.
Deluxe boxes and VIP rooms only have more space, aura concentration, and some additional services than ordinary rooms.
Both, cross-border trade routes are quite dangerous, and keeping a low profile can avoid many risks.
He is currently pretending to be a late-stage foundation-building monk.
Go to the guest room window.
Wei Tu entered the magic formula, and the landscape outside the spirit boat immediately appeared near the window.
However, due to the limitations of the guest room class, the scenery Wei Tu saw was only a corner of the scenery seen from the lower deck of Dengyun Feizhou.
If you want to see more, you can only upgrade.
Not long after, the flying boat took off.
The scenery outside the guest room began to change rapidly, from the jungle to the blue sky and white clouds.
“In about a month, we will arrive in Xiao Country and just meditate.”
Wei Tu sat cross-legged, turned his palms and took out a dark blue spiritual stone, slowly absorbing it.
Although the spiritual energy concentration of ordinary guest rooms is not as good as that of VIP rooms and luxury boxes, he has a lot of spiritual stones, so there is no need to worry about this.
It’s just that it’s just been two days.
Wei Tu then heard the faint sounds coming from the room next door, one after another.
Inside the flying boat, there is a brothel business, which can relieve the worries of the traveling guests.
After all, not all monks are promising and are interested in meditating in guest rooms.
Weitu called out Bai Zhi and ordered her to add a soundproof circle in his guest room.
With the formation, the guest room quickly returned to silence.
Two days later.
Deng Yunfeizhou arrived at the border of Kang State and accepted routine inspection by the border monks.
The identity of the guests in the cabin is also subject to inspection and must undergo border inspection.
Under the guidance of the flying boat steward, nearly a hundred travelers came out of the guest rooms, gathered on the deck, stood in a line, and were inspected.
Wei Tu noticed that Yu Wencheng and the one-eyed old man did not appear on the deck.
“Fellow Taoists, the border monks will come to check later. If you have any prohibited items with you, please take them out as soon as possible..."
The middle-aged deacon said in a deep voice.
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged deacon used his magic power to hand over a jade slip to Wei Tu and others.
On the jade slip is a list of prohibited items.
Wei Tu took a look.
The prohibited items here are mostly some magic weapons that are forbidden to be carried, as well as several special elixirs.
“Magic weapon?”
Weitu pondered, he had killed a lot of demon cultivators, and the demon cultivators he had on him were only high-quality ones, at least a dozen.
However, regarding the inspection.
Weitu is not too worried.
The inspection by the border monks is to trace the traces through spiritual animals, not to search violently.
This method of inspection is useful for semi-closed storage bags, but it poses no threat to the completely closed storage ring on his hand.
Wei Tu glanced at the monks around him.
Many monks looked nervous, far less calm than him.
After all, Kang State is on the verge of the realm of magic, and monks with some status have more or less one or two good magic weapons in their hands.
Special magical instruments such as the Happy Pillow of the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Gathering Bowl of the Blood God Sect are very popular in the territory of Kang.
“For guests in luxury rooms, we at Canglang Chamber of Commerce will do our best to protect their property...”
At this moment, the middle-aged deacon suddenly spoke.
The cultivators were moved and immediately understood the implication of the middle-aged deacon’s words.
It means that guests in luxury boxes have certain privileges and can avoid inspection by border monks.
Of course, all the cultivators also understand that this privilege can at most allow the border monks to turn a blind eye and not make a fuss about it.
The border monks may not tolerate real smuggling monks.
“I’m upgrading!”
Soon, four or five monks walked out of the nearly one hundred monks and asked for an upgrade.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The middle-aged deacon beamed and said "Okay" three times.
The upgrade is expensive, three thousand spiritual stones per person. As usual, he takes a 20% commission. This time, even if you say less, you can earn thousands of spiritual stones.
Waiting for the upgraded monks to leave. Several serious-looking border monks immediately walked to the cabin and began to inspect.
“No, next one.”
The border monk headed by him had a fist-sized pale golden rat demon standing on his shoulder.
This rat demon walked to the monk's storage bag and could tell whether the monk was carrying contraband with just a slight sniff.
“Catch him!”
Not long after, the pale golden rat demon stopped in front of a middle-aged monk. The rat paw pointed at the storage bag on the monk's waist.
Seeing this, the leading border monk looked solemn and snorted coldly.
The voice fell.
The middle-aged monk's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth, his feet condensed with escaping light, and he rushed directly to the outside of the deck, preparing to escape.
next moment-
A headless corpse fell.
The middle-aged monk did not survive a few breaths before he died at the hands of the border monk responsible for inspection.
The light golden rat demon walked to the middle-aged monk, picked up the storage bag, and squeaked several times.
“He’s just a demon.” The leading border monk looked disdainful.
He casually blasted away the storage bag in the hand of the pale golden rat demon with a burst of magic power.
In an instant, various magical spiritual materials exploded out of the storage bag.
"Next!"
The border monk continued to inspect.
Soon, it was Wei Tu.
The pale golden rat demon took a few sniffs of Wei Tu's scent, but did not find any clues on Wei Tu's body.
“Fortunately, before leaving Kang State, I studied the "Zhudao Immortal Source Sutra".
Wei Tu thought to himself.
If he had not converted to practice martial arts, he would only have the option of upgrading this time.
Half a day later.
The border monks have completed the inspection.
In addition to killing the original demon demon, he also seized several demonic contraband items and fined his owner several thousand spiritual stones.
The amount of fined spiritual stones is basically not less than the three thousand spiritual stones required for upgrade.
…
After passing through the border between the two countries.
Canglang Chamber of Commerce's flying boat was on the right track, gradually accelerating in the clouds, and rushed to Xiao Country with a speed comparable to that of a monk in the late Jindan period.
No words were spoken all the way.
In the last few days of the journey, just when Wei Tu thought he was lucky and there were no accidents on the journey, he encountered robbers such as the Six Desires Sect.
Just listen to the sound of "boom".
The guest room trembled violently, and the formation spirit light in the room flickered, flickering on and off.
At the same time, a series of dull and loud noises came one after another from outside the guest room.
“The core formation of the flying boat was accidentally destroyed... Fellow Taoists, there is no need to panic. The accompanying formation master will repair the formation immediately and maintain the operation of the spirit boat..."
In the corridor outside the guest room, the deacon of the Canglang Chamber of Commerce looked anxious and kept shouting, trying to stabilize the passengers in the cabin.
…
In the guest room.
Weitu quickly calmed down after experiencing a brief panic.
“Is it a robber attack? Is it a combination of inside and outside?”
He frowned heavily.
At this moment, Wei Tu could not sense any sign of enemy attack outside of Deng Yun Fei Zhou.
This is also the reason why he can sit safely in the guest room and is not in a hurry to escape.
—The border between Kang and Zheng is either a magical place or a dangerous place like the Black Blood Swamp.
Leaving Dengyunfeizhou without permission is even more dangerous.
“Wait for a while to see how the situation develops before making a decision.”
Having strength to rely on, Wei Tu is calm in his heart and behaves without arrogance or impatience.
However, Wei Tu did not completely listen to the words of the Chamber of Commerce Deacon and sat still in the guest room.
After the corridor was quiet, he immediately left the guest room and hid in the adjacent guest room, then patiently waited for news from the Canglang Chamber of Commerce.
Various secret techniques emerge in endlessly in the world of immortality.
Wei Tu was not sure, he was certain that the people traveling with him would not be able to see through his disguise and know that he was the True Lord of the Golden Core who was hiding his cultivation.
If someone were to cause trouble inside Dengyun Feizhou...the first target would probably be a True Lord of the Golden Core like him.
"somebody is coming."
After waiting for a short while, Wei Tu saw that a long-haired male cultivator quietly touched the door of his guest room and took out the magic weapon from his sleeve.
The body shape of this long-haired male cultivator is similar to the "Liang Yijiang" that Wei Tu has been paying attention to.
Liang Yijiang is one of the three one-eyed old men and the male cultivator among the young lovers.
"Fellow Daoist Yi, we have been ordered to check to see if any guests have taken the opportunity to cause trouble..."
Liang Yijiang cleared his throat, pretended to be a deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, and spoke.
“Yi sat quietly in the room and did not leave.”
In the guest room, there was an echo soon.
This sound is the onomatopoeia of Bai Zhi.
Before leaving the guest room, Wei Tu left Bai Zhi, who had been following him, in the guest room in case the Chamber of Commerce sent someone to check the room.
Unexpectedly, this arrangement would come in handy when dealing with Liang Yijiang.
“It seems that Liang Yijiang has also seen through my disguise.” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Yi, if you have nothing else to do, try not to go out, so as not to cause misunderstanding.”
Liang Yijiang spoke again.
While speaking, Liang Yijiang took back the magic weapon in his hand and walked to the left side of the guest room door.
It is like keeping a lookout, rather than strangling Wei Tu, a potential threat in Dengyun Feizhou.
…
Liang Yijiang's closing.
For the time being, Wei Tu gave up the idea of attacking him first.
Wei Tu stood still and continued to sit back and watch the development of the situation. At the same time, he analyzed the reasons why Liang Yijiang and his three people disrupted the situation in Dengyun Feizhou.
The mastermind behind the turmoil in Dengyun Feizhou this time has become obvious, and they are Liang Yijiang and the other three... If not, Liang Yijiang would not suddenly block the door of his guest room.
“It seems that he is not a kind person.”
Half a quarter of an hour later, when Wei Tu saw that Liang Yijiang had brutally killed the monks from the Chamber of Commerce who had come to investigate, he immediately had no expectations for the purpose of Liang Yijiang and the others.
From this point of view, Liang Yijiang did not take the lead in killing him before, not because of benevolence or for other reasons, but because he saw his strength and did not dare to act arbitrarily.
"Ding!" Wei Tu came out in an instant, holding the Binding Talisman in his hand. Under Liang Yijiang's horrified gaze, he broke the mana shield with one hand and forcibly attached it to his forehead.
At the same time, Wei Tu used the "Blue Halberd Pocket", "Dingguang Pearl", and "Yuanzhong Divine Light" to firmly restrain Liang Yijiang.
"How can it be?"
Seeing that he was defeated instantly, Liang Yijiang was horrified and couldn't believe it.
He could not imagine that a monk of the same rank as himself was not a single enemy of Wei Tu.
He was easily captured by Wei Tu.
What Liang Yijiang doesn't know is that it's not that he is too useless, but that he is a monk with dual cultivation of body and law, and his absolute dominance over Cai Cai.
Hand cultivation of body and law, invincible in close combat.
What's more, whether it is the realm of Qi refining or body refining, Wei Tu is far ahead of Liang Yijiang, who only has the early stage of Jindan.
If multiple people fight, Liang Yijiang can still exert his strength as the True Monarch of the Golden Core. However, when fighting alone, in the eyes of Wei Tu, his strength is almost no different from that of a weak monk at the Foundation Establishment level.
After capturing Liang Yijiang.
Wei Tu returned to the adjacent guest room. He placed one palm on Liang Yijiang's Tianling Cover and began to search for his soul with the help of the "Lingyin Boat".
“The Liang family of Qingmingmen…the mission of the Shangzong…to destroy the Six Desires Sect…”
Not long after, Wei Tu learned from Liang Yijiang’s mind the origin of his team and the purpose of their trip.
It was different from what he originally thought.
Liang Yijiang and the others are not a criminal gang that collaborated with the robbers inside and outside.
On the contrary, Liang Yijiang and the others came to Yunfeizhou to cooperate with Shangzong's "Shenjia Sect" in wiping out the Six Desire Sect's bandits.
It can be regarded as...an official army.
It's just that Liang Yijiang and the others, as monks of the big sect and also cultivators of golden elixirs, were too indifferent to the life and death of lower-level monks... This made Wei Tu mistakenly think that Liang Yijiang wanted to kill him.
"Although he is called a righteous monk, his behavior is no different from that of the devil. If he is killed, he will be killed."
Weitu looked indifferent and didn't care.
Although this was a misjudgment on his part.
But Liang Yijiang blocked the door...
Does he still need to bet that what he is doing is the right way? Or the devil?
Moreover, if Liang Yijiang showed mercy to the monks from the Chamber of Commerce, he would not hastily judge Liang Yijiang as a robbery cultivator and kill him brazenly.
Otherwise, according to Liang Yijiang’s memory.
Liang Yijiang and the other two people also had the idea of taking advantage of the situation to rob the travelers on board the clouds and flying boats.
“The only trouble is how to deal with the aftermath.”
Wei Tu frowned.
According to Shenjia Sect's plan, Liang Yijiang and three others from Qingming Sect destroyed the Dengyun Feizhou formation, and then attracted the Six Desire Sect to attack.
Afterwards, Shenjiamen arrived and wiped out the Liuyu Sect, a group of robbers who blocked the trade routes between Kang and Xiao.
Now that he has killed Liang Yijiang, Liang Tu and Gu Xianglan from Qingmingmen will definitely pin the suspected murderer on him.
At that time, both the Qingming Sect and the Shenjia Sect will be his enemies.
"unless…"
Wei Tu looked thoughtful.
