Chapter 281 The Legend of the Secret Realm (1)
The hazy weather has lasted all day.
It was already evening, and the dark clouds above our heads were like splashing ink, dark and thick. Finally, the sky gradually darkened---
The strong wind violently blew the large and small trees on the ground, as well as the weeds that were taller than people. Their leaves danced vigorously and made a "swirling" sound, as if the devil was singing loudly in the dark night.
"Boom" sound.
A long white dragon streaked across the sky, literally tearing the sky in half.
Huge lightning suddenly illuminated the originally sleepy land. A large, dilapidated temple came into view. On the door plaque of the dilapidated large temple, three broken but still vigorous and powerful Chinese characters could be faintly seen: Canglang Temple.
There were bursts of thunder, lightning was hiding in the dark clouds, flying constantly, and the light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the ground flickeringly.
Not far from this large, dilapidated temple, a lonely graceful figure was walking slowly alone. In the flickering light of electricity, it looked like a floating ghost shrouded in the night, looking strange and unusual.
About a hundred meters behind this figure, there seemed to be a figure following silently in a trance. The steps were unhurried and the expression on the face was leisurely and contented, as if the strong wind, lightning and thunder were blowing.
The weather didn't bother me at all, it was just like taking a leisurely stroll in my own backyard.
There was a faint light coming from the big temple, flickering, bright and dark, and from time to time there were voices coming out in twos and threes.
Zhang Huaming looked at the lone figure walking a hundred meters ahead from a distance, then glanced in the direction of the big temple, looked up at the sky, and frowned slightly.
The location where he is at the moment is a place called Canglang Town in the west of the Xilong Empire. Canglang Town is a little-known place, a small place, and the economy is not very prosperous. If it were not for people who are willing, not many people would exist in this place.
But when it comes to Limei City, which is twenty miles away from Canglang Town, I am afraid that not many people in the entire Xilong Empire do not know that Limei City was the capital of the Jianmei Empire, the former Xilong Empire, and was known as the Warrior
The third largest city in the mainland, it was the center of economic, political, and cultural exchanges in the Jianmei Empire. It was also the largest and most prosperous city in the Jianmei Empire.
In the era of the Jianmei Empire, it was almost the symbol of the Jianmei Empire.
The Jianmei Empire fell thousands of years ago. After countless years of smoke and war, Limei City was fortunate enough to be preserved and passed down to this day. Unfortunately, the war it suffered was too tragic. After all, this once famous ancient city had some problems.
After the fall, the Xilong Empire did not set its capital here. However, considering that it was once the capital of the Jianmei Empire and the third largest city in the once glorious Warrior Continent, it was set up as the capital of the Xilong Empire.
It was also the second capital of the Xilong Empire.
Zhang Huaming doesn't know much about the history of Limei City. Although Zhu Lao is an old bastard who has lived for a thousand years, he is not very familiar with this city.
What makes Zhang Huaming puzzled is that the war between the Xilong Empire and the Xia Dynasty Empire is about to begin, and they have just negotiated with the Xia Dynasty Empire for 300,000 captive soldiers. No matter from any aspect, Han Wei should return to Xilong Empire first.
Lingyun City, the capital of the empire, must be restored in time.
But Han Wei did not do this. After returning to the Xilong Empire, she went westward, almost in the opposite direction to Lingyun City of the Xilong Empire. This made Zhang Huaming very curious and confused. He didn't know what Han Wei was going to do.
What kind of medicine is being sold?
Since it was within the Xilong Empire, the three hundred soldiers who were sent to protect her were unable to enter. They had already returned to the Xia Dynasty Emperor's camp. Zhang Huaming, who was hiding in the dark and following her all the way, unknowingly became the one to monitor and protect Han Wei.
Role.
As we get closer and closer to the large, dilapidated temple, the sounds coming from the temple become clearer and clearer. It can be initially determined that there are dozens of people in the temple.
The big temple is not in Canglang Town. It is still several miles away from Canglang Town. With the current weather and time, Han Wei will not be able to reach the town anyway, so she can only stay in Canglang Temple for the time being.
Rest one night and wait until tomorrow morning before setting off again.
Zhang Huaming watched Han Wei walk into the big temple. The big temple, which had been bustling with discussions, suddenly became quiet for an instant. Under the flickering light of the fire, people divided into several piles involuntarily gathered their eyes at the door with a swish of eyes.
On Han Wei who walked in slowly.
Han Wei is naturally charming, with a stunning face that can make the world eclipse the world. She exudes a seductive charm from the beginning to the end. Even Zhang Huaming, who is already a Taoist master, is somewhat unable to resist.
What's more, it's just ordinary human beings.
The moment they saw Han Wei appear, everyone in the temple suddenly widened their eyes, staring unblinkingly at the charming woman who was getting closer and closer. Their breathing froze for a moment, and they felt their hearts pounding violently.
It was beating, as if it was about to pop out of the chest at any time. The whole temple was so quiet that even a pin dropping to the ground could be clearly heard, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
Han Wei obviously knew her own charm, and she was accustomed to the greedy and lustful eyes when people looked at her. No wonder it was so common.
She walked into the temple hall with light steps, and glanced at the faces of the people scattered in every corner. Han Wei hesitated slightly, then walked to the uninhabited corner on the right side of the hall,
I found a relatively clean place to sit down.
Everyone's eyes in the temple involuntarily followed Han Wei's graceful and alluring figure. When they saw her sitting alone in the corner of the hall, people's eyes suddenly flashed, and their eyes became more greedy and evil.
, a few people even had lonely and meaningful smiles on their lips.
No matter what era or society, single women walking on the night road are almost always unlucky. They may be violated by men who rely on their lower bodies to think at any time. Now, Han Wei, who is alone at this time, is undoubtedly going on.
This scene.
"This Han Wei is really not afraid of death. A woman dares to appear here without fear, and she is not afraid that those guys will have any plans for her." Zhang Huaming hid in the night and glanced at the scattered distribution with deep eyes.
A group of men in the main hall couldn't help but shook their heads and cursed secretly in their hearts when they saw that all of them looked unhappy.
Han Wei's cultivation level is not high, only at the intermediate level of Martial King. Among the thirty or so people in the hall, there are seven Martial Kings, three Martial Fighting Kings, and one who is clearly a master of Martial Lord level. These ten people
Almost anyone can easily take down Han Wei.
It seems that he has to be an unsung hero who saves the beauty. Zhang Huaming smiled bitterly in his heart.
The people gathered in the temple were obviously not in the same group. Zhang Huaming made a rough observation and found that judging from the situation of their gathering, there should be four groups of people.
The largest group of people gathered in the center of the hall were three martial arts masters, one martial arts master, and a group of four martial arts practitioners who had not even reached the martial arts realm.
The second group is three martial arts kings and several followers sitting on the left side of the hall, and the third group is a martial arts king and a martial arts king and several ordinary martial arts practitioners on the west side.
There was only one person in the fourth batch, the Martial Master with the highest cultivation level among the people present. He closed his eyes and meditated and stayed on the east side, seemingly indifferent to the external situation. It was not until Han Wei appeared that he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing.
Jingmang has been paying attention to Han Wei since then, and he is obviously a little distracted.
Ever since Han Wei appeared, everyone in the main hall of Canglang Temple seemed to have lost their souls, staring at Han Wei with stunned expressions.
Masters of King of Martial Arts and King of Martial Arts, as well as those in the realm of Martial Masters, are definitely awe-inspiring existences compared to ordinary martial arts practitioners. Even in a small city, it is difficult to see so many masters.
But now, eleven of them appeared at the same time in a little-known Canglang town, which made Zhang Huaming very puzzled.
Did something happen in Canglang Town? Or is something about to happen?
Zhang Huaming frowned slightly. When he heard that Han Wei did not return to Lingyun City but ran to this town after returning to the Xilong Empire, Zhang Huaming felt that something was a little unusual. At least he knew that Han Wei was by no means a simple and stupid guy. On the contrary
, she is very smart and shrewd, and will not let herself suffer easily, let alone come all the way here to enjoy the mountains and rivers when she is full and has nothing to do.
Zhang Huaming found a place to sit outside the gate of Canglang Temple, leaving a trace of his spiritual consciousness to observe the situation in the temple, frowning and thinking.
All the bustle in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. This is an eternal truth. People can't afford to be early without benefit, especially for martial arts practitioners. Zhang Huaming can be 100% sure that it will definitely happen here.
Something has happened, or something is about to happen.
"Yan'er, remember, the matter about the legend of the secret realm has become a storm in the city and everyone knows it. More and more masters will appear here. We must stay vigilant at all times and must not make any mistakes. Understand
"?" After being silent for about a cup of tea, someone finally broke the silence, and a low voice came from the crowd sitting on the left.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll pay attention." A young man sitting next to him nodded casually, his eyes looking at Han Wei unblinkingly as well.
He turned around and stared in the direction of Han Wei. The evil look in his eyes was undisguised, as if he was planning something, and he seemed to want to swallow Han Wei in one gulp.
"It's good to know." The person who was called father by the young man was the person who spoke earlier, a middle-aged man in his fifties. At this time, he finally recovered from his loss after being lost for a long time, with complicated eyes.
He glanced in the direction of Han Wei, and then at the other three groups of troops. He sighed inwardly, looking back, and solemnly explained to his son.
However, he obviously knew his son's character, and knew that his explanation would probably be in vain, so he could only helplessly shake his head secretly, sighing several times.
The voices of the two father and son were not loud, but they did not escape Zhang Huaming's ears. When he heard the middle-aged man mention the words "Legend of the Secret Realm", his heart suddenly moved, and a flash of light passed through his mind. He was about to continue listening.
Thinking about the conversation between the father and son, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at a place not far from Canglang Temple. In a flash, his whole body was submerged in the thick night.
Everyone staying in Canglang Temple seemed to have quickly noticed something strange outside the temple, and they all looked outside the temple door.
Not long after, a burst of noisy footsteps sounded from outside the temple.
Zhang Huaming, who was hiding in the dark, looked up and saw a group of people approaching in the direction of the ruined temple deep in the long grass. Each person held a torch in their hands. The flames were circling around like countless will-o'-the-wisps.
It fluttered and formed a fire snake. It was still far away before and it was not clear who was coming.
Zhang Huaming was curious and thought: "Who are these people? What is the purpose of coming here in the middle of the night?"
When the visitor came closer, he saw that there were more than twenty people in the group, and all of them were wearing brocade clothes, a pair of sabers hanging on their waists, wearing a hat, and everyone wore a brown cloak.
, looking at the neat clothes, he looks like a well-trained sergeant.
The firelight reflected on each person's face, which was so red that it looked a bit like a monkey's buttocks.
Zhang Huaming didn't know the details of the visitor. He saw that everyone was about to arrive in front of the ruined temple. Judging from the situation, they seemed to want to come to the temple to rest. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This Canglang Town was really weird and tight. Not only martial arts practitioners gathered, but also Lian Xi
The troops of the Long Empire were dispatched. When something went wrong, there must be a monster. Zhang Huaming became more and more sure of his thoughts.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and no less than twenty people were getting closer and closer to the ruined temple. I heard one person say: "Everyone will stay here for the night, and we will set off again after dawn."
Another person asked: "Du Tong, why do you think Eunuch Cao called on twenty of our brothers to personally escort this batch of silver coins this time? We are all masters in the palace, so we are used to do this escort business, right?
Is it too big to be used too small?”
When Zhang Huaming heard the words "Eunuch Cao", he felt strange in his heart and couldn't help but listen carefully.
But listening to the meaning of the person who just spoke, he was extremely dissatisfied with Eunuch Cao's arrangement.
Na Dutong then said: "Liu Guards, don't be angry. The reason why Eunuch Cao sent twenty of our masters to personally escort this batch of silver this time was because he was afraid that someone would hijack the ship along the way, so we had to be careful.
Last year, the ship of gold and silver was almost robbed in Liuyangping. Having learned from the past, Eunuch Cao will naturally take precautions. Who wants to make the same mistake again?" The man said, "Oh, so that's it." He stopped talking.
I just heard Na Dutong say again: "Everyone must keep good spirits tonight. After receiving the things tomorrow, we will rush to Limei City immediately. The escort this time is one million taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
Eunuch Cao said that as long as we can protect the silver and reach Limei City smoothly this time, all the brothers here will be greatly rewarded."
When everyone heard that they were rewarded, they all cheered.
Zhang Huaming was slightly surprised and thought to himself: "One million taels of silver is not a small amount. What is the purpose of sending it all the way to Limei City?"
Someone suddenly asked: "Du Tong, why do you think Eunuch Cao wants so much gold and silver? Nowadays, many gangs in the world are actively giving him gifts. In recent years, Eunuch Cao has received very little gold and silver.
Tens of millions taels, tens of millions taels is not a small amount, I'm afraid even His Majesty doesn't have as much money as him. But tell me, what is the use of Eunuch Cao asking for so much money?"
