Chapter 133 Shen Country ([-])

It takes two days to go to Chenyi, but Jiang Yuan can shorten the time by one-third by running with all his strength.

And Jiang Yuan does not need to gallop along the winding road like a horse. When he encounters a forest, he will enter the forest, when he encounters a mountain, he will climb over the mountain, and when he encounters a river canyon, he can jump over it. He only needs to keep going straight and straight, nothing can stop him his way.

In this way, the time can be shortened even more.

Jiang Yuan ran wildly all the way, and the sky brightened up bit by bit.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan didn't need to take the official route and would not slow down, so most of the places he passed were deserted and did not cause much movement.

The landforms of Shen State and Xue State are very different. There are no high mountains here, but there are hills and rivers everywhere.

However, the weather here is much colder than that in Xue Country. It is still summer in Xue Country, but autumn has already entered here.

On the gentle and undulating slope, the branches and leaves of the trees that can be seen everywhere have turned yellow, and many ripe fruits in autumn are heavily pressed on the branches.The grass is still slightly yellow and green, as if laying a thick carpet on the undulating ground.

The sun rises and sets quickly.

With the afterglow of the setting sun falling, the scenery among the rolling hills is breathtakingly beautiful.

As the night fell again, the night wind here was very strong, and the grass fluttered amidst the howling.

After nearly a day of trekking, Jiang Yuan reckoned that he had already entered the dust city.As for where the eclipse grass is planted, I have to find someone to ask.

The disadvantages of not following the official road are also highlighted, that is, it is difficult to find people in this dangerous wilderness.

Jiang Yuan had to deliberately search for a road nearby. Fortunately, his speed was so fast that it would not take too much time to find it.

There is no gray smog here like the ghost gate world. On the contrary, the field of vision is wide and it is easy to search.

It didn't take much time, and Jiang Yuan really found a way.

The road is wide, not like a small road, but like an official road.

So Jiang Yuan continued to walk along the official road, walking all the way down in the night where ghosts haunted, but Jiang Yuan didn't even see half a person.

The woods were thick and thick, with twisted branches that looked eerie at night.

Jiang Yuan is looking forward to a ghost running out from here, so that he can gain some ghost energy.However, not to mention human shadows, there were not even ghost shadows.

Disappointed, Jiang Yuan could only continue running fast.

After a while, a building finally appeared on the side of the road.

The building is wide but dark and dilapidated, it seems to be a ruined temple.

Most of the buildings along the official road are safe places for pedestrians to stay.Pedestrians will also spontaneously repair buildings and replenish used water and food.

However, the building in front of me was dilapidated and dilapidated, and it didn't look like an official road for people to sleep overnight.

"Did I go the wrong way? This is not an official road, but a relatively flat road?"

Under Jiang Yuan's hesitation, he still planned to go in and have a look first. In case someone stayed overnight inside, he could also ask someone about the specific place of origin of the eclipse grass.

The gate of the ruined temple had already collapsed, and a piece of wood blocking the way was pushed away, causing a cloud of dust to rise immediately.

Just as Jiang Yuan stepped in, he stopped and looked towards the ground.

"footprint."

In the thick dust, there was a row of footprints extending into the temple.

With footprints, it means someone is there, and Jiang Yuan followed him in immediately.

The entire ruined temple is similar to ordinary small temples in the world, divided into two connected front rooms and back rooms.The front room is dedicated to gods, and the back room is for people to live in.

At this time, the front room was covered with cobwebs and dust, and the moonlight cast from the damaged roof and shone on a statue in the middle of the room.

Jiang Yuan came to the statue to identify it carefully.

I saw that the color of the statue was peeling off and it was slightly dark. It was carved to look like riding a dragon chariot. The flags of the five emperors were inserted on the dragon chariot, and the bottom of the statue was carved with the appearance of clouds.

"This is Lord Yunzhong."

The Lord of the Clouds is the God of Clouds, and there are quite a few temples dedicated to the Lord of the Clouds under Xue Guozhi, most of which are used to pray for good weather.

Jiang Yuan stood quietly under the statue, but heard some unusual noises in his ears, coming from the back room.

He immediately bypassed the statue and walked towards the back room.

In the back room, two walls had collapsed, and weeds and vines had grown into the room.

A little farther outside the house, a dark cave was exposed, and the strange sound came from the cave.

Jiang Yuan came to the entrance of the cave and squatted down, with flames rising in his hands.

The flame instantly illuminated the inside of the cave, revealing the face of a frightened woman.

I saw a young girl being entangled by countless wriggling and twisted brown tree roots, dragging her into the hole bit by bit.The girl's mouth was also strangled by the roots, and she couldn't finish speaking, so she could only whine with a full face of pleading.

Holding the sword in one hand, the girl desperately slashed at the tree roots, but she couldn't hurt the roots at all.

Those tree roots twisted like tentacles, making it impossible for the girl to break free, instead being dragged deeper and deeper.

Jiang Yuan patted the wood carving behind him:

"Look, your kind."

The dryad Lin Yulin immediately corrected:

"I'm a good monster, this one is a man-eating monster! We are different!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, then grabbed the girl who was entangled by the tree roots, and pressed the other hand towards the tree roots with the rising flame.

The flames did great damage to the roots of the tree. Amidst the buzzing sound, large areas of the roots were immediately scorched black.

The roots of the tree trembled violently, and countless roots detached from the girl's body, quickly shrank toward the depths of the cave, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuan didn't continue to chase after it, and finding the eclipse grass was the top priority at the moment.Easy ghosts can be removed, but if you spend a lot of time chasing and killing weak ones, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Following Jiang Yuan, he lifted the girl out of the hole and threw it on the ground.

But the girl closed her eyes tightly and covered her waist, curled up on the ground and screamed in pain.Apparently those tree roots just now had strangled her ribs like a boa constrictor.

Jiang Yuan may continue to ask about the specific place of origin of the eclipse grass in this dusty city, but he can't let the girl die.

So he patted the wood carving behind him, and a cyan light band rose up and spread into the girl's body.

Under the cure of the dryad Lin Yulin, the girl's screams gradually subsided, and finally disappeared a little bit, and her pale face gradually turned rosy.

As the light belt retracted, Jiang Yuan asked:
"Girl, are you okay?"

The girl got up from the ground in amazement:

"I'm not in pain anymore. Ah! It's really rude! Little girl Fu Qingyin, thank you for saving me!"

Saying that, the girl hastily and respectfully saluted Jiang Yuan.

The girl who claimed to be Fu Qingyin was in the prime of her life, with a charming jade face, long and curved eyebrows like a painting, and soft green silk that flowed like ink and was coiled into a bun.The purple pleated dress is yellow and white, with feather patterns embroidered on it.

The extra skirt is gathered up and tied up with ropes, making it easier to move. It is a common outfit for female warriors.

Jiang Yuan continued to ask:

"Then, miss Fu, are you familiar with this area? I want to ask you about a place. Do you know the specific place where the eclipse grass is produced?"

Fu Qingyin's face showed embarrassment:
"My lord, I'm really sorry. It's my first time coming here from another place, so I'm not familiar with this area. Otherwise, I wouldn't have strayed here by mistake, and almost got killed by a demon."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel disappointed. He kindly saved someone, but he still got nothing.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan didn't intend to delay any longer, so he was about to leave.

At this time, it seemed that people's voices could be heard in the distance, and many people were shouting loudly:
"Miss Qingyin! Where are you, Miss Qingyin?!"

Fu Qingyin was overjoyed upon hearing the words:

"My lord, some righteous men have arrived! They are well-informed, maybe they know what you want to know!"

Then Fu Qingyin put her hands together around her mouth and shouted into the distance:

"I am here!"

After hearing Fu Qingyin's voice, the people in the distance quickly ran towards this side.

After a while, six warriors with various weapons swarmed over.

These warriors walk like dragons and tigers, each of them exudes a strong aura, and they are all of good strength.

The three leaders were all Guizong Realm warriors, while the other three were also Kaiyuan Realm warriors.Only Fu Qingyin seemed to be much weaker, only in the early four extremes.

The leading warrior was a majestic middle-aged man, with a pot of feather arrows tied to his back, a longbow on his chest, and a steel knife in his hand.

When the middle-aged man saw Fu Qingyin, he said anxiously:

"Miss Qingyin, we made an appointment to gather here. All the righteous men have arrived but have not seen you for a long time. They thought you were intercepted by the lackeys of the imperial court. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise how would we explain to Lord Fu?"

Fu Qingyin looked guilty, and hurriedly apologized:

"Hero Zhai is really sorry! I wanted to check the environment here first, but I didn't expect to encounter a ghost. Fortunately, this young man came to the rescue in time!"

With that said, Fu Qingyin introduced to Jiang Yuan again:
"My lord, this is Zhai Yiping Zhai Daxia, these people are—"

Before she finished her introduction, she was interrupted by the sound of "clang clang" drawing a knife.

I saw these six warriors holding sharp knives and staring at Jiang Yuan vigilantly.

And the warrior named Zhai Yiping even guarded Fu Qingyin behind him, staring at Jiang Yuan and questioning in a cold voice:

"Able to repel demons, you are from a noble family?!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the group of warriors coldly, he just wanted to ask the way, if he had to do something, none of these warriors could survive.

He clenched his fists tightly. If he couldn't ask for directions properly, extorting a confession by torture is also an option.

At this time, Fu Qingyin hurriedly ran out from behind Zhai Yiping, blocked Jiang Yuan, and said to Zhai Yiping:
"Hero Zhai, stop! This young master saved me, how can we avenge our kindness?"

Zhai Yiping was still on guard, he said in a cold voice:
"Miss Qingyin, leave quickly! You don't understand the dangers of the world. If he saves you, he may not really want to help you! What's more, people from the royal family will never stand by us ordinary people!"

Fu Qingyin still stubbornly said:
"I believe that there are good and bad people, even people from the royal family!"

Jiang Yuan was already impatient, he pushed away Fu Qingyin in front of him, walked towards the six warriors and said:
"I want to know the specific origin of the eclipse grass, whoever tells me can live!"

Zhai Yiping was furious when he heard the words, and immediately swung his knife and slashed at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was about to make a move, but suddenly his eyes turned cold, and he turned his head to look at the dark hole not far away.

I saw a tree root stabbing out of it suddenly, taking advantage of the opportunity of confronting the six warriors, it suddenly attacked behind me.
