Chapter 971 Xiao Shang is so anxious that he is smoking
Two months later, the weather had reached the hottest season. What Jiang Fenghua heard Feng Qingyu talk about most was how to adapt to the climate of Xichuan, as if Xichuan and the Ghost Realm were really hell on earth.
Everyone was eager to learn and was extremely pious, fearing that they would die inexplicably if they were not careful. They were frightened by Feng Qingyu.
When Jiang Fenghua arrived in Xichuan, all she felt was desolation and vastness, and more of a shock. The desolation was not the mess of overgrown weeds and lifeless scenes, but the endless emptiness like a magnificent painting, which made people feel that it was beautiful, majestic, and refreshing.
An idea suddenly came to her mind. Could Xichuan and the ancient country of Yinchuan be the same place? No one knew whether the ancient country of Yinchuan existed a thousand years ago, but Xichuan did exist. There was no country's garrison here. It might be because of the climate reasons that her uncle said it was not suitable for human life.
Most people can't survive here. If there really is an ancient Yinchuan Kingdom, can the people of Yinchuan live normally in this place? She also thinks it is impossible. Another possibility is that the people of Yinchuan are accustomed to this place.
Feng Qingyu asked, "What is Ruan Ruan thinking about?"
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Why didn't my uncle tell me this place is so beautiful? Is this really the hell on earth that my uncle described?"
Feng Qingyu said, "We have just arrived at the border of Xichuan. Once you enter Xichuan, you will understand. This place is indeed beautiful, like a fairyland. However, its strangeness is in stark contrast to its environment."
Feng Qingyu glanced at the sky, which was boundless and cloudless. He said, "We're lucky you can only see this beautiful scenery in this season. If it were another season, if it were winter, we wouldn't even dare approach the edge of Xichuan. People couldn't survive here. They'd have trouble breathing, and their hearts might even stop beating. They wouldn't even know how they died. It's very strange. I heard it's like a demon demanding their life."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Of course, people will have difficulty breathing without air. When the heart stops beating, people will die. The word death itself makes people afraid. I guess what everyone is afraid of is not Xichuan, but the feeling of being on the verge of death being spread. That's why everyone is afraid. The strangeness of Xichuan has spread like this, so everyone is afraid, and no one wants to talk about it."
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "Since there's no one here, why does my uncle often go to Xichuan as a escort?"
"It's not that there are no people. People come here often. Xichuan is very big because it has rich mineral resources. However, ordinary people can't earn this much money. But there are many people who are not afraid of death and come to Xichuan to gamble their lives for money." Feng Qingyu explained.
"Are there any survivors among these people?"
"Yes, but very few." Feng Qingyu continued, "My old man went in there once and lost half his life, but later he got half his life back."
"My grandfather was also in prison, but I have never heard him talk about his experiences." Jiang Fenghua thought to himself that he was wrong.
"It's not a glorious thing for a bodyguard to almost lose his life on the road." Feng Qingyu continued, "Except for me, the Ninth Master, who worked harder in Xichuan, no one else in our family dared to venture there. The old man almost fell here too, and he naturally wouldn't say anything because he was too proud. Besides, the Feng Escort Agency's reputation cannot be ruined."
"Grandfather is still so proud. I also feel fine after arriving in Xichuan." Jiang Fenghua said.
Gongsun Lan had been to Xichuan many times. She asked, "Is this really the first time Miss Jiang San is here?"
Jiang Fenghua nodded, "Of course it's the first time."
Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, "You know Xichuan well enough. He doesn't look like a first-timer."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly: "I know Miss Lanlan must be familiar with this place. This is indeed my first time here."
Gongsun Lan paused when she heard this. She was indeed familiar with this place. She had been here before. What did Jiang Fenghua mean by this?
"Let's go quickly! Let's go find the Ghost Realm. You've been traveling slowly along the way, and you've been resting as you go. Now that we're finally almost there, you're still talking about the beautiful scenery and bad air. Why don't I have the suffocating feeling you guys mentioned?" Xiao Shang said anxiously. He felt that he was about to find the answer he wanted.
He was also thinking about one thing in his mind: is Xichuan the location of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom? If it is Yinchuan, does it have the Yinchuan secret technique? The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he had no time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
"Don't be so hasty." Feng Qingyu and Gongsun Lan said in unison.
The two looked at each other. After spending more than two months together, they had a general understanding of each other's deeds. They were both people who traveled outside all year round. What surprised them even more was that they were born on the same day of the same month of the same year.
Feng Qingyu said, "Don't be so anxious to go deep into Xichuan. The air there is even thinner. You will not be able to bear it and die there."
Gongsun Lan nodded. "Let's set up camp here first and rest up before we continue on our journey."
Jiang Fenghua said: "For the sake of everyone's health, I will listen to you."
Xiao Shang was puzzled. "Why do you still want to stay here? How long are you going to delay? The Ghost Realm is in Xichuan. Didn't Miss Gongsun go there before? How are you okay? What secrets are hidden there? Don't you want to know too? You say it's so dangerous, but we didn't encounter any danger along the way!"
He roared, "What on earth do you want to do? Only by finding Yinchuan can your Great Zhou be saved."
Jiang Fenghua simply ignored him. The Disha Sect behind him seemed to be more anxious than Xiao Shang. They were anxious about their own things, but she was not anxious at all. Seeing Xiao Shang getting anxious, she was actually a little happy.
Feng Qingyu explained, "We just arrived in Xichuan and need to adapt first before we set off. Besides, Brother Xiao Yu and the others are already feeling unwell."
Xiao Shang also received news from his subordinates that they also felt unwell and could not even find the reason, as if they were poisoned. However, he could not care less. The place he had been searching for for twenty years finally had some clues.
At this time, Xiao Yu and his guards were indeed feeling unwell. Qin Yunyan and Aoxue Hongxiu were also feeling unwell. Strangely, the weak Zhang Yumo didn't feel any discomfort at all.
She quietly lifted the flower ornament on her wrist and felt that the mark became brighter. It was as if there was a fire in her heart, a flame of hatred burning rapidly in her heart.
Zhang Yumo secretly looked in the direction of Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua wore a veil all the way to cover the mark between her eyebrows. Looking at the person in front of her, she seemed to suddenly understand something.
For several nights, she felt a tingling sensation between her eyebrows. The uncontrollable feeling she had before seemed to reappear, and the voice asking her to kill Xie Shang appeared again.
She has the same feeling now. Fortunately, Xie Shang is not here, otherwise she is really worried that she will not be able to control herself and want to kill Xie Shang. If it is really a curse, she wonders if she can lift it by finding the ghost realm.
She noticed Zhang Yumo secretly looking at her out of the corner of her eye, and thought to herself: If Zhang Yumo was also cursed, then the red spider lily on her wrist should be giving her guidance!
