Chapter 80 [Makeover]
When the Tule army raided Baicao City, Luo Xiao and Duan Qinglan were already a hundred miles away. All the way there were all kinds of unknowns. One was the Tule people who broke through Baicao City, and the other was the border troops counterattacked and annihilated many Tule people. In short, all kinds of rumors like rumors like news are flying all over the sky, filling every place Luo Xiao walked by. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the tribes of the Tule Alliance were constantly gathering towards the national border, and Wuyang Kingdom also mobilized troops everywhere to increase troops to Baicao City, and the war was covered with dark clouds.
After leaving Baicao City, in a small town called Sea Buckthorn, the two quickly processed the various harvests of the trip and exchanged them for resources or money. The next morning, Luo Xiao pushed open Duan Qinglan's door and found that the stubborn girl had left without saying goodbye.
Luo Xiao stood in front of the empty door of the house, thinking for a while, shook his head and smiled, went back to the house to carry the package, turned over and looked east.
Luo Xiao didn't know where Duan Qinglan would go, but he had already thought about where he was going - Wuyang Guodu, Shengjing.
Shengjing is more than 3,900 miles away from Baicao City. There are four major counties along the way, namely Heshuo County, Yunzhou County, Beiyang County and Qijiang County. Then they enter Jingji Road and finally arrive at Shengjing. As for the large and small cities passing by, there are more, with 17 or 18.
Luo Xiao expects to have a journey of nearly two months, but he is not in a hurry and is not in a hurry. Walk slowly and practice slowly. It is estimated that when he arrives in Shengjing, he will probably be able to break through the bottleneck, cultivate spiritual branches, and condense the gaseous core into particles to achieve the two necessary conditions for Suzaku Warrior. Unfortunately, he cannot go to the Dragon Roar Valley and cultivate the shadow of the wind to great success. Three lack one, and he still cannot become a real Suzaku Warrior.
However, there is no way to make up for it. He learned from the original record of the practice of the Shadow of Wind that in the 36 counties of Wuyang Kingdom, nine counties have opened secret places like Dragon Roar Valley, which are suitable for practicing the Shadow of Wind. Among them, the secret places of Shengjing are the best. I think it is the capital of a country, and of course everything is the best.
However, generally, this kind of secret cultivation site is controlled by the Martial Arts Hall. It not only requires a clear identity, but also requires merit points. This can be seen from the practice conditions of the Dragon Roar Valley. With Luo Xiao’s current situation, it is hard to say whether he can enter the Shengjing Secret Land to practice.
Luo Xiao made up his mind and waited for Shengjing to find an opportunity to see if he could continue to practice, practice the shadow of the wind to great success, and truly enter the realm of Suzaku Warrior. This is also an important reason why he chose to go to Shengjing.
However, before officially setting off, he has to complete an important preparation, that is, disguise.
Disguise is a basic skill that any secret son must master. Of course, the techniques are high and low. Like Duan Qinglan, he did not undergo closed training in the secret son camp, but was developed from ordinary secret sons. The disguise level is probably to make himself look older, but no matter how you look at it, you can tell that it is his own level. For those who are formally trained like Luo Xiao, they are guided by famous teachers, and there are disguise test tasks, and the losers will be severely punished. It can be said that the secret sons that come out of there can be no skill that cannot be considered - people who are not serious are eliminated.
Luo Xiao had two unscrupulous reasons: one was that he was afraid of being recognized, because the reconnaissance team was destroyed, and he had been put on the "death list" of Yishui Xiuwu Hall. In this way, whether it was the secret camp of Wuyang Kingdom or the secret camp of Zhuyue Kingdom, he would think that he was a dead person, and no one would pursue the dead.
Second, in order to be unobtrusive, because his age and strength are seriously mismatched, no matter where he is placed, it will be very eye-catching and can easily attract attention from interested people.
Therefore, Luo Xiao’s disguise this time not only needs to change his appearance, but also to become older - of course, it cannot be too old. After all, the vitality of young people is like boiling vitality, and they can’t be covered no matter how hard they are. If they get older, they will be about ten years old, and they will be almost twenty-five or six.
Most of the things that need to be used for disguise are very common, such as colored ores, tubers of certain plants, oils of animals, and makeup powders for women... etc., they are all bargains, only one or two key items are rare and expensive, but with Luo Xiao’s current wealth, it is not a big deal.
Two days later, Luo Xiao, who was still a teenager when he walked out of the sea buckthorn town, had already changed a lot. If Duan Qinglan saw it, he would definitely not recognize the young man in front of him who looked ordinary, had dark skin, and could not be found even when thrown into the crowd. He was the young wizard who had the strength to kill two great warriors and was full of spirits.
Walking eastward, you will be free from the horse, watching the mountains and rivers on the sun, and staying in the ancient village at night. If you get something, stop at any time, hide in the fairy stone cave, and make your sense of it in the blessed land with great spiritual energy, until you can digest all the gains of your experience before you can start your journey again.
Due to the huge time difference between the fairy stone cave heaven and reality, even if Luo Xiao stayed many times, he did not delay much time. After a month, after half of the trip, he had entered the boundary of Beiyang County.
Luo Xiao took out a map of the 36 counties of Wuyang Kingdom and looked at it. He confirmed that the area ahead was a small county called "Dingbei". He had to walk about thirty miles. Now the time of Shen has passed. When he arrived, the city gate would definitely be closed. I just don't know if there is a station in Dingbei County.
Luo Xiao's map was only three levels, counties, and towns, and did not refine the lower facilities such as villages, towns, post stations, and handovers. The map was a forbidden object, not a sale item. Luo Xiao's map was a piece of paper, but he was reading the secret martial arts pavilion in Xiuwu Hall, and took the map to hide into the cave heaven while he was unprepared. Then he copied and copied several copies in the cave heaven. It was precisely because he had this map in his hand that he had traveled alone to Beijing for the first time, but he could steadily walk on a correct and convenient route.
"If there is no station, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the open."
Luo Xiao’s blessed land of cave heaven is certainly a holy place for cultivation, but it is not suitable for simple sleep and rest, because even if he sleeps in the cave heaven until his bones are stiff and his hands are cramped, the outside world is still long and he still has to endure it.
"I hope my luck is not so bad this time..." Luo Xiao was thinking, and behind him, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling on the ground came. Luo Xiao quickly folded the map, threw it into the cave, and then pulled the horse aside, intending to let the other team pass first.
The first thing that appeared in front of him were two men in brocade clothes riding tall horses, wrapped in green scarves on their heads, and a knife bow hanging on their saddles and bridles. They looked sharp and had a hint of vigilance. When they saw Luo Xiao, the two men in brocade clothes stared for a long time. Perhaps they saw Luo Xiao alone. Although they had the strength of the fifth level, they could still eat and hold on, so they did not overreact. They just stared at him from the left, kept their guard, and made a gesture of moving forward safely to the back.
Luo Xiao used the breath-catching technique to compress his strength to the middle stage of the fifth level, which is not as good as the upper level. Those below the fifth level, including the fifth level, generally do not dare to provoke, and those above the sixth level are disdainful. In addition, he only has a simple package, no matter how long the horse is, and it is worth a little money. Ordinary thieves do not look at each other, and they will not face a fifth level warrior because a beast worth a few dollars is not worth a few dollars, so he has basically not encountered any bad things along the way.
These two men in brocade clothes who were obviously the outposts were also at the fifth level, one in the early stage and the other in the middle stage. With these two people reaching the age of three or four, there is no hope of becoming a warrior in this life, but it is more than enough to guard the houses and guard the houses of the wealthy families. Judging from the style of these two people, it seems that they are just doing this.
After a while, smoke and dust rose slightly in the distance, and a group of people slowly walked.
Luo Xiao glanced casually and found that there were four carriages in the group. Judging from the depth of the ruts and the sound of the body bounce, two cars carried people, two cars carried objects, seven or eight knight guards with guns and swords, dozens of walking servants and seven or eight mules and horses carrying objects. The momentum was really great, as if the whole family was relocated.
Those servants were ordinary people, and among the guards, except for one leader who was at the fifth level, the rest were at the third and fourth level, and their deterrence was not as good as those of these two men in the imperial outposts.
At this time, a man in brocade sprinted to the widest carriage in the middle, leaned over and said something through the window. The curtain of the car was lifted up, and a sharp look fell on Luo Xiao.
This is a young man of twenty-six or seven. He has two horoscopes on his lips, which is very beautifully trimmed, with a arrogant face and a stunning look. The young man is dressed gorgeously and has a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He is obviously a rich disciple. However, in the entire fleet, the only one who can make Luo Xiao care about is this young man.
Because this young man who seems to be a rich disciple is the strongest in this team - the fifth-level perfection, that is, he is in the stage of the meta-type nuclearization and belongs to the quasi-samurai level.
Although the fifth-level perfection of this age is not as good as some martial arts masters like Wu Junyan, as long as their family background is good and willing to spend resources, it is a matter of time to advance to warriors and should not be underestimated.
Of course, with Luo Xiao's strength at this time, although he would not underestimate the other party, he could not pay attention to it. He pulled down the hood and blocked his sight. Disguise was just a clever makeup technique, not a legendary deformation technique. If you were seen by people with sharp eyes for a long time, you would inevitably see some flaws.
At this time, a man's low voice came from the carriage: "Zifeng, is there anything wrong with it?"
The young man's eyes flashed and he shook his head slightly: "He is a passerby, his strength is not low, but it is not eye-catching."
There was no sound in the car, the curtain was then put down, and a group of people and carriages rolled past. In the rushing smoke and dust, a faint sound came: "There is Dingbei County ahead, but it is most likely that I can't enter the city at this time, so I'll rest at the inn outside the city for a night..."
