Chapter 147: Northwest Land
Chapter 147: The Northwest Land
The stones at the corners of the sea hold the sun and the moon, and the rocks at the ends of the earth stand magnificent mountains and rivers.
In the western part of the Dahu Empire, a clear Mo River water meandered out from the foggy swamp at the end of the northwest, and finally gathered in Dahebu River.
The water of Mo River flows continuously. For tens of millions of years, it has flowed quietly on the vast territory of the western part of Dalu, silently nourishing thousands of living creatures in this land.
On both sides of the Mojiang River, there are also footprints left by generations of extraordinary talents. Since the birth of Mojiang River, it has experienced countless alternations of wind and rain, and it silently witnessed the prosperity and decline of the western part of Dalu.
In the sleeping river of history, tribal dynasties emerged along the east and west coasts of the Mojiang River, and then experienced decline and overturn. Many tribes were tragically exterminated, and dynasties changed, and the situation was unpredictable.
...
The Mist Everglades is located in the northwest of the Demon-Slaying Continent, sandwiched between the unknown domain in the west and the unknown glacier plain in the Arctic. It is an extremely mysterious realm that is difficult to explore.
The misty swamp and Wanxian Town, the last barrier in the northwest border of Dalu, are less than 600 miles apart.
The foggy swamp is covered by fog all year round, extending infinitely to the northwest, and is even more boundless. It is the shelter of primate species, which is extremely rare in humans.
It is said that this foggy swamp has existed in the world since the beginning of the world. On this vast land, various strange flowers and flowers grow, and countless towering ancient trees grow.
It is also said that there are alien grasses that are evergreen all year round and survive for tens of millions of years. The grass is several meters long and thick as an arm, like a tree. The stems are extremely tough and hard to burn with fire. They are of great use, but they are rare in the world.
And on this mysterious land, there are even more longevity medicines that are hard to find in the world, spiritual seeds that can cure all diseases, human-eating flowers and trees and other alien species.
However, the terrain in the foggy swamp is extremely complex and dangerous. It has been occupied by primate species since ancient times, and it is impossible for humans to enter, and those who are adept at it will not survive.
Therefore, the foggy swamp is regarded by humans as one of the six unknown areas in the four worlds of the Demon-killing Continent.
...
Over the past tens of millions of years, generations of peerless strong men on the Demon-killing Continent have gone away in order to step into the depths of the foggy swamp and see the truth, and they have lost their lives in the end.
Therefore, most powerful people just go into the outer circle of the foggy swamp and dare not go deep into the forbidden area.
And the outer circle of this foggy swamp is already very dangerous. Just the sudden poisonous gas, ponds, fog, man-eating flowers, rotten muscle trees, etc. are already very troublesome.
And those high-level primate species hidden in the dark are waiting for an opportunity to attack the humans who dare to enter this place at any time, killing people with one blow.
Since ancient times, this foggy swamp is the place where the heaven of longevity leads to longevity.
However, ordinary people have limited lifespans when eating grains and grains. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will live for decades, but you will eventually die.
Therefore, the secret technique of immortality is passed down to the world. When the human body enters the other world, the "Heaven" can be used to maintain health, discard the grains, throw away the grains, and use the energy of the heaven to nourish the body, and then purify the customs of the grains, remove the life of the body, and enjoy the path of immortality.
In the end, he can become an immortal body, control the power of destroying the world, and become a level one god passed down from generation to generation by people.
It is precisely because Wanxian Town is closest to the sky that there are many strong people who come here to experience it. Therefore, it is named "Wanxian" and is respected by the people of Daqiu.
At this moment, on the road thirty miles south of Wanxian Town, a luxurious carriage was slowly coming.
The "groom" who drives the carriage is dressed in an extremely delicate manner, has a capable and beautiful figure, and does not look like an ordinary coachman no matter how you look.
Most of the people who come and go to Wanxian Town are not ordinary people. Therefore, on the road to the south, such a carriage suddenly appeared, which did not attract much attention.
The carriage walked about three or five miles towards Wanxian Town, and suddenly a fork appeared. One road was straight to the north, while the other road was diagonally northeast.
On the dividing line of the fork intersection, there is a wooden sign with two arrows marked on the wooden sign, pointing to the two paths moving forward respectively.
But under the arrow pointing the direction, the words "Wanxian Town" and "Yuecheng" are written in a rectangular official text.
The carriage stopped when it reached the fork in the road. The groom turned his head and bowed to the carriage and said, "Sima, we are finally about to arrive in Wanxian Town."
Uh... There are two ways to do this right now. One is to lead straight to Wanxian Town, while the other is to lead diagonally to Yuecheng."
After hearing the coachman's words, the people in the car immediately lifted the curtain on the car. It turned out to be two old men and poked their heads out of the car.
The three people on the carriage were no one else, but the three famous figures of the Dalu Empire, including Sima Mao, the country-protecting wizard Hei Qilin, and the military strategist Sun Yunwen.
Sima Mao stared at the wooden signboard silently, and suddenly became stunned.
Black Qilin glanced at the signpost, rotated and turned his head slightly to stroke his white beard, stared at Sima Mao beside him, and then smiled and said with a smile: "Brother Sima and I have been working together in the imperial capital for decades. Brother Sima should have not returned to his hometown for more than 20 years, right?"
Sima Mao, who was sitting beside the Black Qilin, sighed meaningfully after hearing what Black Qilin said, and then nodded: "Since my brother and sister-in-law suddenly decided to go out for training twenty-five years ago and entrusted my nephew Sima Jack to me, I only had a rare trip back to my hometown that year and brought my nephew Sima Jack to my side.
Unexpectedly, twenty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have indeed not been able to go back to my hometown to take a look.”
Hearing this, Hei Qilin blurted out without hesitation: "Brother Sima, why don't we go to Yuecheng first, and I will go and take a look at Brother Sima's hometown and see Brother Sima's hometown. What's the scene now?"
After listening to the words of Black Qilin, the great strategist Sun Yunwen nodded in agreement: "The Master of the Guardian is right. Sun Yunwen often goes to the northwest area to handle official business, and is quite familiar with the terrain of the northwest area.
The hometown of Dasima Yuecheng is less than three or four hundred miles away from Wanxian Town on the northwest border, and we can't waste much time back and forth."
Sima Mao suddenly waved his hand, then closed the curtain covering the carriage and said, "Let's continue to rush to Wanxian Town!"
Hei Qilin was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Don't Brother Sima want to go back to his hometown to take a look?"
Sima Mao nodded, and suddenly shook his head again, and smiled slightly, "Brother Qilin, let's do the serious business first! When the serious business is done, we will bother Sun Yunwen's great strategist to Yuecheng on the way back."
The black Qilin stared at Sima Mao, and suddenly remained silent, and a hint of apology immediately emerged.
The great strategist Sun Yunwen shook his head with a wry smile, then turned around, grabbed the reins on the horse's back, and said, "Then follow the words of the Grand Sima."
Sima Mao said: "Thank you to the great strategist of Sun Yunwen along the way. When the business is done, how about I invite you to Yuecheng to have a table of specialty wine and dishes in my hometown?"
When Sun Yunwen heard this, she immediately browned and said, "Why are you embarrassed to let Grand Sima spend money? Sun Yunwen treats her to the guests."
The black Qilin immediately coughed and said, "The great strategist Sun Yunwen slapped me in the face. You and Brother Sima came from afar and did not hesitate to take risks with me, the black Qilin, all of which were to help me, the black Qilin. Naturally, this treat should be done by me, the black Qilin."
Sun Yunwen laughed a few times and said, "The treasured wine from the Master Hunting's home, but it is agreed that when we go back, we will take it out and let Sun Yunwen and Grand Sima have some good drinks."
Black Qilin smiled repeatedly and said, "This is natural. In short, when I go to Yuecheng to drink, I, Black Qilin, have to treat you to me." After saying this, Black Qilin immediately took out a bulging wallet from his arms and deliberately swayed in front of Sima Mao.
The gold and silver things in the money bag jingled as the black qilin shook forcefully. The black qilin smiled at Sima Mao and said, "I saw it. This time when I went out, my wife specially asked me to bring enough gold and silver. All the expenses back and forth along the way must be paid by my brother."
Sun Wenyun heard the sound of gold and silver colliding in the carriage outside the carriage, and immediately chuckled, saying, "It seems that my sister-in-law is quite relaxed in the Master of the Guardian?"
Black Qilin smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, this is natural. The happiest thing for my Black Qilin in my life is to marry my junior sister Ge Shan."
Sima Mao immediately glanced at the black Qilin, coughed lightly, and deliberately joked: "Look at how old you are? You are still not a good person. Now you have to make it clear. When you go to Yuecheng, you must treat me. After all, when you arrive in Yuecheng, you are the boss.
Uh... If you brother Qilin thinks that there is too much money and there is no place to spend it, then hurry up and urge the boy Heimor to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible. Then see how much money you can spend for your daughter-in-law to squander it."
Sun Yunwen laughed when she covered her mouth outside the carriage, and couldn't help but secretly raised her thumbs up and murmured: "It seems that Jiang is still old after all, and the wizard of the country protection will have to stare blankly."
"Sun Yunwen, what are you talking about outside? Why don't you hurry up and wait for your carriage to arrive in Wanxian Town. The fine wine and delicious delicacies must be served on the table.
I have worked hard along the way, but I have to slaughter our fat and oily ones, just as I see that the money is so much that I have no place to spend it."
Sima Mao's voice was a little funny and immediately came into Sun Yunwen's ears outside the carriage. Sun Yunwen nodded with a smile on her face and happily urged the horse to go.
In the carriage, Black Qilin looked at the money bag in his hand innocently and murmured: "Can you have more money and will it be the target of public criticism?"
