Chapter 378 Overnight Stay
After all, Zuo Wanqiu used Zuo Shenju to save him and fell into a weak state.
If he ignores his request and leaves by force, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
Anyway, it was just a way, so he escorted him for a while.
Hearing Duan Qing say that he was willing to escort her back to Huangzhou, Zuo Wanqiu immediately smiled and thanked Duan Qing: "Then I'll thank fellow Daoist Duan first!"
"You don't have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Zuo. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zuo wants to hurry up now or rest a little longer?" Duan Qing said calmly.
"Let's rest for another hour or three. It's a long way to Huangzhou, so don't be in a hurry!" Zuo Wanqiu said as she sat down cross-legged.
"By the way, fellow Daoist Duan, please put away this Red Spirit Sword first in case of emergencies."
Duan Qing stopped being polite and put away the Red Spirit Sword.
He agreed to escort Zuo Wanqiu back to Huangzhou and return it to him when he arrived in Huangzhou.
Having this Red Spirit Sword in hand can increase his strength a lot and make him feel more at ease on the road.
Half an hour later, Zuo Wanqiu finally had enough rest and set off with Duan Qing, flying all the way north.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, given your strength, what force do you come from?" During the flight, Zuo Wanqiu looked sideways at Duan Qing. Unable to hold back her curiosity, she tried to ask through a voice message.
"It's okay if I don't mention it to the next casual cultivator!" Duan Qing replied casually.
Tsk, I don’t believe it!
With Duan Qing's powerful swordsmanship, she would never believe it if he said he had no background.
It's just that Duan Qing doesn't want to say it, so she can't continue to ask. Anyway, she knows that he is an upright person and will not be inconvenient to her.
The two of them flew for most of the day.
At dusk, Zuo Wanqiu pointed to an endless mountain range in front of her and said to Duan Qing: "Fellow Daoist Duan, right in front of you is the Jiuding Mountain Range, where the Immortal Cauldron Sect is located! The origin of Qingjiang River."
Duan Qing heard the sound and looked forward, only to see a towering mountain range in front of him, which probably stretched for hundreds of miles. There were many white ribbons like flying dragons hidden in the mountains.
He took a closer look and saw that the white ribbons turned out to be many waterfalls, flowing down into the vast Qingjiang River at the foot of the mountain.
"It's really a treasure land!" Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh.
"Tsk, what does this mean? Among the many treasured cultivation places in the Middle Earth, Jiuding Mountain is at the top of the list at best. Not to mention the seven super sects, even my Zuo family's Shangshui City is a step behind!"
Duan Qing was silent. Zuo Wanqiu was right. In the memory of Senior Yuan Wuwu, Shangshui City was indeed quite famous.
At this moment, Duan Qing suddenly felt something moving behind him.
When he looked back, he saw a black strange bird approaching the two of them quickly. On top of the strange bird, there was a bald young man sitting, with his eyes closed and concentrating.
For some reason, the strange black bird felt strange to Duan Qing, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it!
The bald young man's cultivation is only at the late stage of the Wenxin Realm, but the speed of the strange bird is extremely fast, almost reaching the level of the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
Duan Qing didn't fly very fast because he was about to leave Zuo Wanqiu, and he was soon caught up by the strange bird.
Zuo Wanqiu saw a strange look on Duan Qing's face and looked back with a look of caution in her eyes.
Fortunately, the strange bird and the bald young man didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble for the two of them, and flew past them dozens of feet away without even raising their eyelids.
Seeing the strange bird flying away, Duan Qing felt a little relieved, as long as he didn't cause trouble for the two of them!
"Fellow Daoist Duan, it's getting late today. Why don't we rest in Jiuding Mountain for a night and start our journey tomorrow." At this time, Zuo Wanqiu's tired voice sounded in Duan Qing's mind.
It only took half a day of flying, which was nothing to Duan Qing.
But considering that Zuo Wanqiu was still in a weak state after Zuo Shenshu, he replied to Zuo Wanqiu: "I will follow the words of fellow Taoist Zuo."
"There is a market near the Xianding Sect. Let's go to the market to have a rest!" Zuo Wanqiu cast a grateful look at Duan Qing.
"That's very good. I'm not familiar with the Immortal Cauldron Sect, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Zuo to lead the way!"
"Fellow Daoist Duan, follow closely!"
After saying that, Zuo Wanqiu's speed increased slightly, flew in front of Duan Qing, and flew Duan Qing hundreds of miles into the Jiuding Mountains.
Not long after, the two came to a small town on the mountainside in the Jiuding Mountains.
The location of the small town is very hidden. Unless Zuo Wanqiu leads the way, it would be difficult to find it even if it flies from the sky.
"This Xianding City is only ten miles away from the Xianding Sect's mountain gate. Except for the city of Xianding Sect, most of the people living in the city are the families of Xianding Sect members. We will find a place to rest for the night in the city." Zuo Wanqiu As he walked, he whispered to Duan Qing.
Duan Qing nodded slightly but said nothing.
The small town in front of you doesn't look very big, even smaller than Xiao'an City. Combined with the surrounding natural environment, it feels like a place outside the world.
It was getting dark at this time, not many people came and went in the city, and oil lamps were even lit in many houses.
The two of them didn't walk long before they arrived at the only inn in the city.
The inn is very dilapidated and seems to be in disrepair.
Zuo Wanqiu looked at the inn in front of her with a disgusted expression, as if she was dissatisfied with the inn being so shabby.
Duan Qing didn't care about this. He was used to being casual. It didn't matter whether he lived well or not. If he didn't have a place to live, he could accept it even if he slept in the wild.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, just give it a try! There seems to be no other inn in the city!" Duan Qing whispered to Zuo Wanqiu.
Zuo Wanqiu nodded sadly and walked into the inn.
She had been to Xianding Chengfang City when she first came to Dingzhou, but she didn't stay overnight in the city. How could she know that the inn in the city was so shabby!
If I had known this, it would be better to find a mortal city to rest near the Jiuding Mountains!
But now that we have come, we can only make do with it!
Entering the inn, Duan Qingchong was lying on a broken wooden table in the lobby. The listless and yawning boy smiled and asked: "Boy, is there another room?"
The boy stood up immediately upon hearing the sound, his eyes darting back and forth on Duan Qing and Zuo Wanqiu.
"Oh, sir, you are here at an unfortunate time. There is only the last room left today!"
Duan Qing was a little surprised. The business of such a shabby inn was quite good!
Without saying a word, Zuo Wanqiu took out a high-grade spiritual stone from the bracelet and slapped it on the table.
"A high-grade spiritual stone, please immediately make room for me!"
The boy stared at the spirit stone for a while, couldn't help but swallowed, and looked embarrassed.
"My guest, I'm really sorry. The guest has already checked in, so there's no reason to kick him out!" At this time, an old voice sounded from the door of the inn.
The two of them looked back and saw an old woman walking into the inn carrying two wooden barrels, her eyes lightly sweeping over Zuo Wanqiu.
"Grandma, you're back!" The boy, as if he had received an amnesty, hurried forward a few steps, picked up a wooden bucket, and ran towards the kitchen.
