Heavenly Dao Formula

...

On the official road, more than a dozen horses were connected back and forth, marching slowly against the fine snow and cold wind.

The journey from Baihe City to Jinxia is not too long, and in normal times, the carriage would only take about three or four days. But now is the snow season, even in the south, the official road will become extremely difficult due to the repeated freezing of snow. At this time, whether it is a human leg or a horse leg, it is much more reliable than a wheel, but it takes twice as much time.

Generally speaking, driving in the cold winter is definitely not a good experience. Even if you are a person who is sensitive, you don't want snowflakes to float into the collar, and then turn into a little bit of ice water and stick to the inner lining.

Their resistance is higher than that of ordinary people, which does not mean that they will not be infected with wind and cold.

When the nasal congestion cough, still feel uncomfortable.

Only Chi is different.

She ran at the head of the team by herself, leaving the horses to others, as if running in the snow was a joy. Not only that, she sometimes digs the snow at her feet, checks the frozen plants, or stuffs some weird things into her mouth.

From this point of view, it is difficult for Yan Qing to associate the woman in front of her with the demon that night.

On the contrary, the respect of her peers did not diminish at all, as if these actions were taken for granted by them.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing could not help but sigh.

She didn't expect the situation to develop to this point.

The other party's destination is Jinxia;

The opponent is a powerful monster;

The other party is being pursued by the Privy Council of Xu State.

No matter which point, she couldn't let Chi leave easily. Especially the first two points - if such a monster does evil, it can make a town bloody in half a day, even if Xia Fan and Luo Qingqing sit in Jinxia City, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Therefore, the most ideal situation is not to let this monster out of your sight.

But this also has no small risk.

The other party not only has his own strength, but also guards the surrounding area with a team of qi sensers. She is really not sure that she can secretly follow all the way without being discovered by the other party.

And no one in this world would like to be guarded as an enemy.

As a result, when Yan Qing tentatively proposed that the destination of her trip was also Jinxia City, the other party unexpectedly sent her an invitation to travel with her.

"Since the destination is the same, why not go together?" Chi said at the time.

"Aren't you worried that I used to be an alchemist in the Privy Council?"

"Aren't you worried that I can't distinguish between good and evil, and might cause trouble?" Her answer hit the nail on the head, "Since that's the case, it's convenient to spy on each other when we go on the road together. I don't have time to do evil secretly, and you don't have the opportunity to report to the Privy Council. Wouldn’t it be a win-win for both parties?”

Yan Qing couldn't pick up the conversation for a moment.

Although there is no lack of sarcasm in the other party's words, this is indeed a compromise choice.

Eventually things became what they are now.

Her plan to slowly travel to Jinxia City was naturally interrupted by this accident.

"Senior Yan, why did you go to Jinxia this time?" Suddenly someone approached him.

Yan Qing turned her head to look, and the person who spoke to him was the man who stood guard in front of Chi that night. She remembered that the man's name seemed to be Kong Xuanzi.

This combination of names is by no means common.

It's a pity that she is not He'er, so she can't find out more information from these details.

"I have no official position, you don't need to use honorifics."

"You are superior to me in terms of qi attainment, so you naturally deserve the title of senior."

Yan Qing didn't care about this any more, "To meet my...friend."

"So that's it," Kong Xuanzi showed a clear expression, "She lives in Jinxia City? It seems that our trip was not in vain."

"Is there any connection between the two?" Yan Qing asked.

"Of course there is. The person in charge of a place where demons can live must not have too much prejudice against demons. In fact, we first inquired about the news in Shangyuan City before turning to Jinxia." He explained, " As Lord Chi's husband-in-law, the most important prerequisite is that he doesn't hate demons. Secondly, the higher his status in the secular world, the better, so that he is worthy of the status of an adult."

Yan Qing raised her eyebrows, "Have you ever known Jinxia City?"

"Not too much. According to historical data, it mainly makes a living from the salt industry. However, Mr. Chi is not picky about whether the place is barren, or it is better to say that it is barren."

"That's not what I'm talking about. Haven't you ever thought that the person in charge of Jinxia City may not be a man?"

Kong Xuanzi's expression froze, "Women control the power? This...isn't possible?"

Yan Qing shrugged, "Normally, but as far as I know, the person in charge of Jinxia City is a woman, and she is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of Qi Kingdom. Your Lord Chi, would you mind marrying a woman?" ?"

There seemed to be fine sweat on the other party's forehead, "This—Master Chi has never shown similar inclinations."

"Then it seems that you are going to run for nothing again."

"How could it be..." He murmured, "The news from Shangyuan clearly stated that the Jinxia man is a man, and he also likes to visit brothels very much."

It was really aimed at Xia Fan. Yan Qing was dumb for a while, then rubbed her forehead and said, "Has it been rumored that he is Jin Xia's leader?"

"Uh...that's not true," Kong Xuanzi lowered his head and thought about it, "but before he became an enemy of the Privy Council, he was the governor of the capital, and he was a leader among Shenzhou's qi-sensing people, so he shouldn't Do you actually control Jinxia? At least when we travel around other countries, the real power controllers in various places are basically inseparable from the Privy Council."

It seems that the other Seven Stars are doing well, and Qi Guo is already a bit behind in terms of progress. If she is still in the Privy Council——no, Yan Qing shook her head and suppressed the distracting thoughts that had arisen in her heart. Those things have nothing to do with her up.

"No wonder you think so." She diverted the topic elsewhere, "But I still don't understand why she wants to find a human husband? The monster is indeed born of a human, but the difference between the two cannot be ignored. This kind of thing is doomed to be difficult to achieve. It's not that I haven't seen demons who have been involved in the secular world too deeply, and they all failed to get a good end in the end."

"Master Chi...just wants the secular world to go back to the past."

"return to the past?"

"Yes," Kong Xuanzi nodded, "The demons on Penglai Island used to be closely related to people's lives. The world admired them and praised them, and they also protected the prosperity of the world. This connection lasted for nearly a thousand years. If there were no such If there is a betrayal, maybe it can last longer..."

"After that, Penglai cut off contact with the mainland. When we waited for news from here again, it was already a threat from the Privy Council. Mr. Chi hoped to regain the support of the world. Let Penglai Island get back on track. And choosing a specific husband is precisely to avoid betrayal from happening again."

Bless... the world?

This tone is probably too big.

And what does husband-in-law have to do with betrayal?

After Yan Qing asked what was puzzled in his heart, Kong Xuanzi shook his head, "Forgive me for not being able to elaborate on this point, unless Master Chi is willing to tell senior personally."

"Okay, then I'll change the question. What is the identity of the Lord Chi you are talking about...or the monster on Penglai Island?"

Although this question is very sensitive, she still tried to speak after thinking about it.

Kong Xuanzi smiled, not only did not show a look of guard, but was rather proud, "When we arrive at Jinxia, ​​senior will naturally know."

...

After braving the wind and snow for about a week, the surrounding undulating forests finally turned into a flat field.

In the afternoon, someone whistled, "Look, there should be Jinxia City!"

Yan Qing picked up his head and looked, only to see a gray and white city wall at the end of the broad horizon.

"Is it finally here?" Chi patted the snowflakes on his hands and stood there waiting for everyone to catch up. "It seems that we can spend the night in the city today."

Suddenly, a loud howling sound penetrated the clouds and reached everyone's ears.

I saw a black shadow in the sky from far to near, quickly approaching them!

Everyone's expressions tightened immediately, and they took out talismans and medicine guides one after another, preparing to cast spells.

"Don't worry, that's not the enemy!" Yan Qing shouted quickly, she had already noticed with sharp eyes that this black figure not only resembled Olina Okan very much, but there was also a familiar figure sitting on its back.

Sure enough, the black shadow quickly magnified into a dragon with wings spread, and passed over their heads at an extremely fast speed, and then turned back in the distance.

"What it is?"

Everyone was surprised for a moment.

"It's a dragon, the Dragon of the West Pole."

"……dragon?"

"They all came to the mainland countries recently, and they seldom show their full faces." Yan Qing nodded and said, "It's normal if you haven't seen them before."

"Hmph—" Chi suddenly sneered, "What kind of dragon is this? It's just a four-legged lizard with wings."

Her vertical pupils seemed to be bottomless.

"Do you know what a dragon is?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Yan Qing's mind——

"Naturally." Chi's voice became deep, "Because I am a dragon."

"Look good, what a dragon really should look like."

When the voice fell to the ground, the little girl's figure had disappeared, replaced by a golden light leaping from the ground to the sky!
