Chapter 143 Zhili Town (Part 2)
Xu Changqing always felt like he was walking upside down. After walking like this for about two days, he felt a wind blowing from the front of the tunnel. It was obvious that the situation should be not far from the surface. Although Xu Changqing was not afraid of loneliness, it was not a pleasant thing to stay in such a cold, wet and dark ground.
After that, he walked for about half an hour and opened two passages before he saw the sunshine and walked out of the tunnel. The tunnel exit was in a Chaotian Cave dozens of feet high. The cave was covered with various strange-shaped plants and some fat poisonous insects, and the yin energy was very heavy. If Xu Changqing was a demon cultivator, this cave would be a good place to build a cave. Unfortunately, the scenery here could not arouse Xu Changqing's interest at all.
"Damn it, where is this?" Xu Changqing jumped out of a huge cave towards the sky, stood on the tree canopy, and frowned at the surrounding environment.
After leaving Chaotian Cave, Xu Changqing found that he was already trapped in the mountains. The surrounding woods were not particularly dense and the air was a little dry. When the wind blew over, you could smell the rich mud and grass smell contained in the wind. Although it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, this did not prevent Xu Changqing from opening his divine eyes, watching the astronomical phenomena, and determining the direction.
As the Nine-River Avenue improves, the power of the divine eyes seems to have increased a lot, and the re-assembled thunder power has become stronger than before. From time to time, a thunder power surges out from itself and goes backwards into the sea of consciousness, merges into the Samadhi True Fire, forming Samadhi thunder fire, which accelerates the tempering of the Soul-Swinging Bell. When he opens his divine eyes and looks upwards at the sun, the divine eyes penetrates the clouds and reaches the sky, and then the divine eyes also automatically absorbs the surrounding yang energy of the heaven and earth and leads them into the thunder ball in the divine eyes.
From the observation of the astronomical phenomena, Xu Changqing determined that he was in the northwest of the capital. Judging from the surrounding environment, it seemed that he had reached the boundary between Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Zhili. Xu Changqing slowly closed his divine eyes, withdrew his gaze, and then released the extraordinary sense of the copper-armored corpse's anger. Not long after, he felt a strong vitality from the southwest of this place. After confirming the direction, Xu Changqing circulated his true energy, performed a ghostly and magical movement, turning into a gust of breeze, quickly passing through the tree crown, and galloping towards the place where the anger came.
In just a while, Xu Changqing came to a town that was not too big. The shape of the town was a typical military fort structure in the north. Looking from the top of the mountain to the town, you can vaguely see the flag on the flagpole in the middle of the town with the words Chaigou Fort written on it. Xu Changqing stopped in the woods outside the town, then took out a fake braid and put it on, put it on a Western top hat, and walked towards the town.
Although the town was guarded by Qing soldiers, the inspection of outsiders was not very strict. Even people like Xu Changqing, who had an unknown identity could pass by a little fee. The town was quite prosperous. A very spacious horse road divided the town into two halves, and most merchants from the north and south gathered here, mainly Mongolian and Tibetan merchants. A large number of merchants spread their fur and herbs on the ground and sold them along the street. There were also many merchants from the south who ran single gangs formed caravans and came here to buy fur and herbs at low prices. It was very lively for people to come and go.
Xu Changqing walked along the way and took out some inconspicuous but very precious medicinal materials in the middle. Although he was not good at refining elixirs, it was no problem to refine some elixirs to invigorate qi and nourish the spirit and improve his cultivation. When he arrived at the center of the town, he turned around and walked into the largest restaurant in the local area. The restaurant clerk stepped forward and led him to a seat. He ordered some food, then took out a Huishangzhuang ticket worth one or two silvers and handed it to the client, asking where this place was and what day it was now? Although the guy was very stupid about these two questions, he still answered with a smile for the sake of money.
It turned out that this Chaigoubao Town is located in the northwest of the capital, close to the border between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. After walking about a day to the southeast from here, you will reach Xuanhua. If you walk west for a long time, you will reach Shanxi. Now it has been almost twenty days since the fifth day of the fifth month. It seems that after the chaos before the fifth day of the fifth month, the capital is extremely calm. Some dissatisfaction among the officers of various departments of the Beiyang Army also seems to have calmed down, and everything seems to have entered the regular state again. However, in Xu Changqing's view, these are just superficial appearances. All the turmoil is hidden and gradually accumulated. When it is at the last moment, it will erupt together. His Tianluo Doushu can calculate that the destiny of the Qing Dynasty can only last for two years at most, and two years later will be the year of disaster.
After Xu Changqing used the Tianluo Doushu to calculate the fate of the Qing Dynasty, he also calculated the current positions of his two little disciples. Since no one concealed the secrets of heaven, he easily calculated the specific positions and situations of the two.
"You two little guys are living a very comfortable life. They don't respect their teachers' orders and run around. When I find you, you will feel better!" After clearing the location of the Huang brothers and sisters, Xu Changqing sneered slightly on his face and said to himself in anger.
The two little guys are now more than 40 miles southwest of Xu Changqing. It seems that they should be on the border between Zhili and Shanxi. Now they are treated well by people, and they are happy to stay. Xu Changqing decided not to go back to Tianjin for the time being, and first find the two little guys together to take a boat together to Shanghai, then go up the river and go back to the Xiangjiang River to return to Chenjia Chong. As for Jiang Sanbao, Zheng Xuan will take care of them.
After the guy brought the food, he was stopped by Xu Changqing and asked, "I wonder where is more than 40 miles southwest of this place?"
"More than forty miles southwest?" The guy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh! The guest official also went to Zhoujiazhai to see the little god and ask for hexagram?"
"Little God? Please ask for hexagram?" Xu Changqing was slightly stunned, and soon understood the joints. He was a little amused and asked again: "I don't know this, I hope to inform you of the details!"
"This..." The guy seemed to be in a difficult situation.
How could Xu Changqing not understand this trick? So he took out a one or two Huishangzhuang ticket from his sleeve and handed it to his servant, saying, "I hope I will tell you the truth!"
