Chapter 143: Stunning Beauty, Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands
This place is so bloody and corpses are everywhere, so it is naturally not suitable to stay here any longer.
So, everyone walked forward for a long distance.
At this time, Cheng Jinhe also roughly learned what happened before, and naturally thanked and praised everyone.
Naturally, Chu Ning was even more enthusiastic.
Several recruiters had no idea about this.
Strength is respected. This is true in the world of immortality, and it is also true in this mortal world.
Everyone settled down, but after what happened just now, most of them were completely sleepless.
The middle-aged man in gray, Yu Zhengchun, actually took the initiative to chat with Chu Ning.
"I wonder what kind of swordsmanship Chu Shaoxia is doing? I just saw that Shaoxia's moves were ordinary, but every move was extremely practical and exquisite.
This sword technique is truly unheard of. "
When Chu Ning heard this, she glanced at Yu Zhengchun.
This person never talks much. In the past month, the two parties have spoken no more than ten sentences combined.
I saw not only Yu Zhengchun's eyes looking at me curiously, but everyone else was also looking here, very curious.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "I'm afraid Brother Yu and others have never heard of my swordsmanship. It's called Dugu Nine Swords."
"Dugu Nine Swords?"
"Dugu Nine Swords?"
As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, there were several low shouts.
The faces of Yu Zhengchun and others even showed thoughtful expressions. From the looks of it, they seemed to be thinking about which martial arts school this was.
Chu Ning laughed secretly in her heart, and then simply continued:
"This sect of swordsmanship emphasizes the importance of attacking second and arriving first. If you don't have a move, you can win with one move.
So when Brother Yu saw my swordsmanship, it was natural that there were no moves at all. "
Hearing Chu Ning's words, everyone present at the martial arts competition couldn't help but look at each other, and many people even showed shock.
But at this moment, Chu Ning stopped talking and looked incomprehensible.
Although the others were full of questions they wanted to ask, they couldn't ask any more at this moment.
After all, if you ask again, it may involve other people's cultivation secrets.
Yu Zhengchun also stood up from Chu Ning's side, with a serious look on his face.
Vaguely, he made eye contact with Shen Shaohai who was not far away.
The two of them immediately pretended to be casual and walked away a little, and then found a place to sit down.
Shen Shaohai continued to carve with a wooden root, while Yu Zhengchun watched closely with great interest, but his eyes were always staring at the crowd.
The two of them talked softly in a voice that was so small that only the people around them could hear it.
"Lao Wu, do you think you can do this tomorrow?"
Yu Zhengchun lowered his voice and asked Shen Shaohai.
Shen Shaohai's face was gloomy at the moment, "Brother, have you retreated?"
"I don't know where this person named Chu comes from. He is too strong."
Yu Zhengchun's eyes were full of worry.
"Today we deliberately spread the word and attracted this group of horse thieves, but they didn't hurt many people. I'm worried..."
When Yu Zhengchun said this, he did not continue.
When Shen Shaohai heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a person. If he can't do it openly, why don't we do it secretly?
Looking for an opportunity tomorrow, we will launch a sneak attack directly. We only need to deal with this person named Chu.
Li Song and the others are not at our mercy. "
Hearing Shen Shaohai's words, Yu Zhengchun's face moved slightly.
"Lao Wu, how confident are you?"
"Eight points!" Shen Shaohai said confidently.
"Don't you believe my hidden weapon? What's more, there are third brother and fourth sister helping me."
When Yu Zhengchun heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, let's go as planned and go it alone.
After working hard for more than a month, I can't let that little kid ruin it all by himself. "
When Shen Shaohai heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"That's it. Don't say anything to them. Just find an opportunity to give a gesture."
After the two agreed, Yu Zhengchun looked bored and got up and started walking around.
And Shen Shaohai continued to carve there.
The behavior and expressions of the two people were so natural that no one could see anything strange at all.
However, the two of them would not know it at all. They thought that even the wisest people could not hear it.
But every word they said was clearly heard by Chu Ning.
"I really guessed it right. These people really know each other and they do have plans."
Chu Ning muttered secretly in her heart.
His spiritual sense was very sensitive, and he had already guessed it. Although several people pretended not to know them before.
However, Chu Ning had already noticed some inadvertent small gestures in his speech and behavior.
At this moment, Chu Ning still pretended not to know anything, closed his eyes tightly, and continued to practice the divine refining technique.
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, everyone continued to move forward with a little fatigue.
"Everyone should cheer up. As long as we walk faster, we can cross Beigangou at noon and reach the town ahead in the afternoon.
Once there, we had a good night's rest. "
Li Song shouted in a deep voice at this moment. After a night of tossing, he was still very energetic.
In his greeting, everyone set off again, cheered up and continued moving forward.
However, when they arrived at Beigangou at noon, the morale of the entire team was low and everyone looked groggy.
After all, we didn't rest the whole night yesterday, and we kept on traveling like this, so we were not made of iron.
At this moment, Shen Shaohai, who was walking in the front of the team, was also yawning, looking listless, and even the strength of his hand pulling the reins was a little weaker.
So, he, who was originally walking side by side with Chu Ning, naturally fell back a position.
He exchanged a glance with Han Wangang and Du Huarong, and the next moment, Shen Shaohai's eyes suddenly flashed.
With a wave of his hand, the iron fan in his hand opened directly, and several black lights shot towards Chu Ning's back.
At the same time, Shen Shaohai's sleeves unexpectedly shot out several short arrows, and followed by the black light.
These short arrows were not shot at Chu Ning's back, but cleverly blocked Chu Ning's dodging position.
At this time, Chu Ning, whether sitting still or moving left and right, would definitely be shot by one of the hidden weapons.
Seeing this scene, Shen Shaohai couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.
However, the next moment, he was slightly surprised.
Chu Ning, however, seemed to have eyes.
He raised the huge sword in his hand and blocked it back casually.
"Dang! Dang!"
After a few collisions, he actually blocked all the black lights.
At the same time, Chu Ning's body remained still, and the short arrow that had blocked Chu Ning's dodge flew directly from Chu's side.
"Do it!"
Shen Shaohai's face changed drastically and he shouted.
But before he shouted, Han Wangang and Du Huarong had already moved.
The two flew straight from the horse's back, one waving a copper hammer and the other waving a long sword, and attacked Chu Ning at the same time.
And soon after the two, Shen Shaohai also flew up, and the iron fan in his hand pressed some mechanism, and a short sword protruded from it.
Holding the short sword, he stabbed Chu Ning's back.
The three of them were so fast that even Li Song and others behind the team didn't react, and the three of them had already attacked Chu Ning close.
Seeing that the weapons of the three people were about to hit Chu Ning at the same time.
At this moment, Chu Ning raised the giant sword in his right hand and waved it casually.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Several more sounds rang out, and the three people found that with this wave, the weapons of the three people were blocked one after another.
At the same time, the three people only felt a huge force coming, and the tiger's mouth shook, and all the weapons in their hands flew out.
The figures of the three people also fell to the ground under this shock.
"How is it possible?"
Looking at Chu Ning, who was still sitting on the horse, and then turned around slightly with a calm face.
Several people's faces turned pale, and their eyes were full of fear.
"What's going on?"
In the back, Li Song and others finally found something strange at this moment, and immediately drove their horses forward.
Looking at the three people on the ground, their faces were as gloomy as black ink.
"Brother Li, haven't you seen it yet? These five people are not simple."
At this moment, Chu Ning said slowly and relaxedly.
At the same time, on the surrounding hillsides, figures stood up from their hiding places and rushed down with weapons.
When Li Song heard this, his face changed immediately, and he suddenly thought of something and shouted:
"The Five Heroes of Black Mountain!"
As he read these five words, Li Song's heart was cold.
The Five Heroes of Black Mountain were not bandits on this road, but they were well-known in several nearby countries.
Every year, many merchants died at the hands of these five people. It is said that these five people are all highly skilled in martial arts and come and go without a trace.
The people in the world only know that the five people are all outstanding in martial arts, but no one can really tell their faces.
That's why Li Song didn't think of it when the five people arrived one after another.
When he thought of the superb martial arts of the five people, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat one of them even if he tried his best. At this moment, Li Song already had a faint sense of despair in his heart.
Li Song's face changed drastically, and Yu Zhengchun and the skinny Dai Zuen behind him also changed their faces drastically.
They never expected that the joint sneak attack by Shen Shaohai and others was so easily resisted by Chu Ning.
The next moment, they jumped up almost at the same time.
Leaping towards the carriage where Cheng Jinhe was sitting.
"Boss!"
Li Song and the other guards behind were all shocked and angry.
But at this moment, a figure appeared beside the carriage like a ghost.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The next moment, accompanied by two dull sounds, two figures flew directly into the air.
Then they fell heavily from five feet away.
After spewing blood, they died.
"Big brother!"
"Second brother!"
The three people who had just had their weapons shot down in front of them shouted at this moment.
At this moment, they looked at Chu Ning who was walking slowly from the back, and there was no other color in their eyes except fear.
"You... who are you?"
Shen Shaohai's face at this time was no longer as cool as usual, looking at Chu Ning, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You don't need to know."
As the voice rose and fell, Chu Ning's figure flashed and disappeared.
The next moment, three more figures flew up and fell, without any breath.
And the robbers who had just rushed down, seeing this scene, also stopped and were at a loss.
"The boss is dead!"
At this time, no one knew who shouted.
Instantly, hundreds of people scattered like birds and beasts.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, from Shen Shaohai's attack to Chu Ning's two attacks.
When Li Song and others reacted, there were no other changes except for the addition of five corpses.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by Chu Ning.
"This Young Master Chu is pretty awesome, right?"
"Yes, among the five of us, no one can catch his move!"
A group of guards exclaimed there.
The deputy team leader Yao Song murmured, his eyes filled with light.
"There is such a martial arts in this world!"
"Young Master Chu..."
Li Song roughly understood what happened at this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he hurriedly came to Chu Ning and clasped his fists to say something.
"Don't say any more polite words. I accepted your employer's money and promised to complete the escort.
As for what happened just now, it’s just that my ears and eyes are more sensitive, and I happened to overhear a few people’s conversations yesterday or two days.
It's better to get on the road quickly. "
Hearing what Chu Ning said, Li Song naturally said nothing more, greeted everyone and continued on his way.
At this moment, Chu Ning was the only one taking the lead.
However, no one felt anything was wrong.
After all, Chu Ning has shown his absolute strength in two consecutive battles.
Li Song, who was falling behind, was looking at Chu Ning's back with complicated eyes.
When Chu Ning first appeared, he was a little wary. When Cheng Jinhe invited Chu Ning to join, Li Song was very worried.
After all, he knew that he would never be this person's opponent after the two had a small fight.
So along the way, he was carefully observing Chu Ning.
He was wary of whether Chu Ning would get angry, which made him ignore the other people.
But he didn't expect that the five heroes of Montenegro were actually hiding in his team, and the five legendary thieves who were superb in martial arts and killed many people.
In front of Chu Ning, there was no way to fight back.
Master! I have truly met an expert!
Along the way, the entire team became more and more respectful to Chu Ning.
At this time, Li Song naturally no longer mentioned recruiting others to supplement the team. After all, Chu Ning alone was enough.
In the nearly two months that followed, it was still not peaceful, and we encountered robbers several times along the way.
However, with the protection of Chu Ning, a "super master", naturally there were no accidents.
Something happened midway that made Chu Ning a little bit dumbfounded.
The deputy team leader Yao Song actually ran up to him and asked him to become his disciple, and he did so without saying a word.
Of course, this was directly rejected by Chu Ning.
But this man didn't give up at all and wanted to become a disciple for several days in a row.
In the end, Chu Ning finally gave up after she was annoyed and angry.
Along the way north, with Chu Ning clearing the obstacles, everyone in the team felt more at ease and walked faster.
We actually arrived at our destination five days earlier than originally planned.
Chu Ning refused Cheng Jinhe and Li Song's warm invitation to stay, and left directly as soon as he arrived at his destination.
As for Cheng Jinhe's offer to pay six times the reward directly to Chu Ning, he did not refuse, but instead of asking for his gold and silver, he asked for a few pieces of fine jade.
After leaving the team, Chu Ning continued to go north and came to a place called Hushan Lake.
"Young hero, it's not that I don't want to go, you can go in other directions.
But keep going east, that's the land of the Immortal Family. If you don't tell me the specific location, I won't dare to go there. "
At this moment, at a ferry in Hushan Lake, in front of Chu Ning, a boatman shook his head like a rattle.
Chu Ning didn't force it, and directly took out a piece of silver, "Then boatman, how about you sell me this boat?"
"Ok, Ok!"
The boatman immediately took it over happily.
Looking at Chu Ning's leaving figure, the boatman immediately shook his head and murmured:
"It seems that he is another person who wants to seek immortality. I don't know how many young people go there every year, but I have never heard of anyone who can really get what they want."
Chu Ning heard this murmur from a distance and couldn't help but smile.
According to the information he had seen before from Qingxi Sect.
The place where Hukou Lake is located is known as Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.
This large area, tens of thousands of miles in radius, is filled with lakes and islands.
It's just that among these islands, only one or two percent have spiritual energy, and the spiritual veins on the islands are low-level.
Most of them are first- and second-order spiritual veins, and the richness of their spiritual energy is far different from the third-order spiritual veins in the Qingxia Mountains.
In terms of aura, it is comparable to the Qingxia Mountains near Yanjifang.
Coupled with the vast territory here, it is really difficult to manage.
Therefore, among the thousands of lakes and islands, there is not a single larger sect.
However, because there are indeed many spiritual veins nearby, many casual cultivators gradually gathered, and most of them divided their power around the island.
Later, some foundation-building monks appeared on the islands, and these foundation-building monks united to form the Thousand Island Alliance.
This Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands finally has an organization that manages it in name only.
Although this kind of management is undoubtedly extremely loose, if there are outside monks, everyone can still fight together.
However, some minor internal disputes are inevitable.
But fortunately, the spiritual vein golden elixir stage monks nearby really looked down upon it, so overall there was no big commotion.
The reason why Chu Ning chose to come here was because there were many casual cultivators here, and it was easy to hide their identity among dragons and snakes.
Secondly, the highest level of cultivation in the Thousand Islands Alliance is the foundation-building cultivator, which makes him feel more secure.
And another very important thing is that it is said that here, as long as you are willing to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to the Thousand Islands Alliance.
You can choose a spiritual vein location in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands to settle down.
When all the conditions are met, Chu Ning has already decided this place as his destination before leaving the sect.
And now, after more than three months of wandering, he finally arrived here.
"If the information I saw from Qingxi Sect is correct.
800 miles east of Hukou Lake, you can reach the first spiritual island among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, Caiwu Island.
If I fly with a flying tool now, I can support 800 miles, but I am afraid that there are some taboos nearby.
Secondly, my mana will be consumed a lot in that case, which is really not safe."
This thought flashed through Chu Ning's mind, and he rowed the boat slowly towards the direction of Caiwu Island.
When he arrived here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more dense than that of the mortal world.
He went a little deeper.
Looking around, there are green mountains, green waters, and white mist, which gives a feeling of being in a fairyland.
Chu Ning was overjoyed and threw a Qingfeng Talisman to blow the boat forward, and then he lay down.
Being in this landscape, he felt free and relaxed.
A few days later, not far from Chu Ning, a small island filled with light colorful mist appeared.
It was the Colorful Mist Island.
