Chapter 28 Yingzhou City
"Yingzhou?"
Xu Heng was indeed a little surprised, so he asked a few more questions.
When the old farmer was young, he should have read some books and spoke in a coherent manner. After a conversation, Xu Heng soon had some idea of his position.
"Yingzhou is an important place in the north and south. It is extremely prosperous and there are more practitioners. From now on, we will go to Yingzhou to practice."
Pan Laodao's words suddenly flashed through Xu Heng's mind. He remembered that the two of them were caught by Chen Taichen on their way to Yingzhou, and that's how the subsequent story came about... Unexpectedly, by a strange combination of circumstances, the two of them were captured by Chen Taichen. Xu Heng finally reached the border of Yingzhou.
Xu Heng thought for a while and then asked: "This junior wants to go to Yingzhou City, but I don't know where to go?"
The old farmer was startled and said: "It's still a long way to Yingzhou City. How can the young master bear it?"
Xu Heng smiled slightly and did not mean to explain. He only said: "This junior has his own way. Please give me some guidance."
The old farmer, who was over six years old and had some experience, didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words. He pointed to the field ridge to the south and said, "Go this way, and there will be a direct road to the official road, leading to Yingzhou City."
Xu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, old man."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old farmer felt as if there was a gust of wind, and the young man in front of him disappeared, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Thinking of the remoteness of the mountain village, a young man who accidentally got lost suddenly appeared. He suddenly thought of mountain spirits and ghosts. When he was frightening himself, he suddenly saw something shining brightly on the field ridge. When he picked it up, he saw it was A piece of broken silver, I was suddenly surprised and happy:
"It's broad daylight and the universe is bright. Wherever the mountain spirits and ghosts come from, they must be the fairy boys practicing on the mountain who have descended to earth..."
…
Xu Heng didn't know what the old farmer was thinking, so he asked for the way and then headed in the direction he pointed. As expected, he soon reached the official road.
He looked towards the end of the official road and thought that it was quite a long way to Yingzhou. He didn't want to waste time on the road anymore, so he might as well try the magic.
Thinking that he could do it, Xu Heng secretly meditated for a while, and then used the 'Armor Horse Technique'. He suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his whole body was as light as a swallow, as if he could fly with a little kick of his legs.
This horsemanship is also one of the seventy-two kinds of magic. Xu Heng has already mastered it. However, due to the rugged mountains, he has to climb up and down from time to time, and he has never been able to use it. Now that he is using it, it is a bit novel. feel.
After Xu Heng cast the spell, he let go of his feet and galloped along the official road as if chasing the wind and lightning. It wasn't until the crowds gradually thickened and cars and horses started to meet on the road that he slowed down a bit, so as not to shock the world.
Even so, he had traveled hundreds of miles in one day, and even when he arrived at Yingzhou City, he didn't have much distance to go.
Unfortunately, seeing that the sun was about to set, the city gates of Yingzhou must have been closed even if they arrived. Xu Heng did not want to try flying over the city wall to avoid causing some unprovoked trouble, so he decided to find a place to meditate all night.
With this in mind, I walked forward for a while, but I didn't find the post pavilion, but I saw a wild temple among the branches.
Xu Heng thought of some stories and stories, and couldn't help but secretly smile. How could there be so many dramas in reality? He turned down the official road and headed towards the wild temple. But before he reached the door, he frowned. A wrinkle.
Looking at the temple door, he actually felt like there was something like a gleam on his back. You must know that he was a cultivated person, so there was no illusion that this wild temple was obviously a bit weird. Xu Heng wanted to turn around and leave, but there were horses and carriages tied next to the temple, and the light of a bonfire shone through the temple gate. It was obvious that someone was preparing to spend the night, so he couldn't help but frown.
Xu Heng thought about it seriously, took out the long sword from the bag and tied it around his waist. He walked slowly to the temple door without entering and looked inside.
There were five or six people crammed into the small space, including three men. One of them looked like a member of the military, and he was obviously the main one. The other two were guards, and the rest were women.
While Xu Heng was observing them, they also obviously noticed Xu Heng's arrival. The guard whispered a few words to the guard, and the man shouted to Xu Heng: "Young man, if you want to rest, come in. If you go out, It’s convenient for everyone.”
Xu Heng's face softened slightly and he said: "There is something strange in this temple, so I won't go in. You'd better not stay here."
The officer was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised. He wanted to ask Xu Heng why he said this, but the guard beside him frowned and blocked him secretly.
"Master, I think this guy is really weird." He cast his gaze on Xu Hengjian and said, "It's better to be on guard."
His voice was extremely low, but it could not escape Xu Heng's ears. Seeing the guard outside, Xu Heng hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. The guard stood up and came forward with a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"That's it for now. You know your own misfortunes and blessings." Xu Heng said the last sentence and turned away without entangled with the guard. He quickly returned to the official road, and then he felt that the feeling like a light on his back gradually disappeared. Go down.
If Xu Heng had a high level of cultivation, he would naturally not mind being a chivalrous person, and he would be able to do anything with a little effort. However, his level of cultivation was shallow and he could see something was wrong with the wild temple, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to rush to be a hero.
The people around him had already tried to persuade him, and they had done their best to show their kindness. Xu Heng quickly put it behind him and thought: "That's it, just rush outside Yingzhou City and wait for dawn."
Now that he had an idea, Xu Heng stopped staying and used his armor and equestrian skills. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the official road at night, he sprinted all the way until long after the moon had passed high in the sky, he finally saw the towering city.
Although it is still 'early', there are already some people outside Yingzhou City. There are businessmen who have missed the time, and there are also travelers who are tired of the journey, either around the bonfire, or relying on cars, horses, or even luggage, waiting silently At dawn.
Xu Heng slowed down, slowly approached the outside of the city, blended into the crowd silently, found an open space to sit down, and calmed down in silence.
During this period, some business travelers and even farmers arrived one after another, but Xu Heng didn't pay much attention. He only felt that not long after, it was already dawn and it was time for the city gate to open.
The crowd gathered and rushed towards the city gate. Xu Heng didn't like crowds and didn't rush for a short while, so he simply waited quietly where he was.
But before the crowd had all entered the city, they heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels coming from the official road, and then someone shouted: "It's him. "
Xu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up. He saw two galloping horses leading a familiar carriage driving over. The officer poked his head out from the curtain and glanced at Xu Heng. , became a little excited and shouted: "Young hero... no, my benefactor!"
