Chapter 218 The Old Man
The wilderness of this world is very desolate.
Taking Pu Changlin with him, Chen Ming went all the way out of the city and walked along a path for a long time. After walking for many days, he finally got out of the city.
Pu Changlin was seriously injured and could not travel with Chen Ming at this moment. He could only lie down in the carriage and leave in the carriage.
This greatly slowed down the journey, so that it took them half a month to complete the journey that originally only took Chen Ming half a day.
"After passing this mountain, you are out of the scope of Yecheng."
On the carriage, Pu Changlin spoke. At this moment, he reluctantly stood up and looked outside the carriage, with some nostalgia in his eyes.
"This road is very difficult to walk. There are many savages in it, who usually cause harm to the countryside and are very troublesome."
"But because of this, it is unlikely that Qing's army will come from this direction."
Based on the current situation, he judged this.
The news that Qing State is preparing to attack Yecheng is hidden. At this moment, on the surface, peace talks between Qing State and Ye State are still ongoing, and the envoys from both sides are still negotiating.
On the road in front of us, not only are there many mountain passes, but there are also many savages hiding here. If the army passes by, there is a high probability that they will be discovered on the way. When the time comes, what will happen if the army passes by ten and hundreds of people pass by?
Therefore, taking this route is the safest for Chen Ming and Pu Changlin at this moment.
As for the barbarians and bandits along the road, they were not a problem to Chen Ming.
After deciding on the next route, the two of them were determined and continued walking on the road.
After a while, at noon, the two stopped. Chen Ming got off the carriage and walked aside to cook.
"Ming'er, how do you remember the star map?"
Pu Changlin sat down and waited for Chen Ming to finish his work, then Pu Changlin asked.
"Almost 90% of it has been memorized. The rest will be completely memorized by tonight."
Chen Ming spoke, and the content of his words made Pu Changlin across from him speechless for a while.
"It's only been three days. Did you remember 90% of it?"
Pu Changlin took a deep look at Chen Ming. At this moment, he no longer knew what to say.
Chen Ming's progress is really too fast.
Since that day when Chen Ming took action, Pu Changlin gave Chen Ming the basic star visualization chart in order for Chen Ming to truly embark on the path of a stargazer.
Although it is just the most basic method of visualizing a star chart, its difficulty is far from basic. If ordinary people were to visualize it, they might not be able to complete it for several years.
But Chen Ming, in just three days, visualized 90% of the star map.
Even though he knew that those who could awaken the Star Destiny were all so-called monsters, the current speed was too terrifying, making Pu Changlin unable to sit still.
After helping Pu Changlin into the carriage and letting him rest in it, Chen Ming did not leave. Instead, he sat down quietly and slowly closed his eyes.
In my mind, the majestic spirit danced, and a vast and complex star map emerged, shining brightly in my mind.
"It turns out that the so-called process of contemplating the star map is itself a kind of tempering of the soul."
Feeling the rapid consumption of divine power in his mind, Chen Ming was thoughtful.
The practice of this world is very interesting. The beginning of practice does not start with tempering the body, but starts directly with the soul.
The so-called star map visualization is to draw it in the mind with the power of the soul, which plays a role in training the soul during the visualization process.
Chen Ming could feel that even with his powerful spirit, when he visualized the star map, it had an extremely significant effect.
This is just a basic star map that has such an effect. If it were a more advanced star map, the effect would probably be even more amazing.
"Even if there are no other gains from this world trip, just these star maps are enough."
Chen Ming felt a little happy as he felt that his soul was constantly being tempered and his soul was getting stronger.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance with some vigilance.
In his powerful spiritual sense, he seemed to feel someone in the distance, and there was a faint cry of killing.
Someone is fighting in the distance, and it shouldn't be far from here.
Feeling this, Chen Ming stood up from where he was and looked in the direction of the carriage.
In the carriage, Pu Changlin was still resting. He seemed to be asleep and his breathing sounded very steady.
Chen Ming stretched out his hand and left a trail of demonic energy on the carriage, covering up the aura of strangers on the carriage. Then he left and walked forward slowly.
It wasn't that he wanted to meddle in other people's business, it was just that the people fighting in front seemed to be blocking the path that Chen Ming and the two were going to walk next.
Not long after, Chen Ming reached a piece of flat land.
On the flat ground, wisps of blood were scattered everywhere, and the green lawn was stained with bright red.
A brutal fight took place here. The two groups were fighting here, and they were all jealous of each other.
There was a mix of people on one side, including savages and some people wearing leather armor, who seemed to be local bandits.
As for the other side, there was a convoy of several hundred people, including guard soldiers, old and weak women, children, and their families. It didn't look like a caravan, but like a large family fleeing.
At this moment, these refugees pushed over the carriage and were hiding behind the carriage to fight with others, but they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Their fighting power is too small. Although there are many people, most of them are women, children and family members who have no fighting power. There are very few people who can actually go forward to fight.
On the other hand, even though there were only half as many people on the opposite side, they were all desperadoes licking blood from their swords.
We don't have much time at the moment, so we can barely resist. When time passes, I'm afraid we will be taken down sooner or later.
Seeing this, Chen Ming shook his head and secretly let go of what he had been holding in his heart.
Although it was previously speculated that most of the Qing Kingdom's army would not pass through this road, we should not be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
So Chen Ming confirmed it himself.
If it weren't for the large army pressing down on the territory, it would be nothing to Chen Ming, and there was no need to be afraid if it was only at this level.
He didn't have any other thoughts, he turned around and left.
But at this moment, a sound attracted Chen Ming's attention.
"Beast! Beast!"
A spear flew from a distance. Although it did not cause any hindrance to the guard, it directly caused frostbite on the body of a seven or eight-year-old child, making him dead.
In the gorgeous carriage, an old man rushed out and let out a wail.
He was thin and looked to be over sixty years old. He was at the age of old age. Looking at the child's body in front of him, his whole body was trembling with anger.
