C2626 Wilderness Temple
After Jiang Ting and Hong Lian entered the carriage, Huo Qing drove the carriage away slowly.
After leaving Gulin Town, Huo Qing whipped the horses with his whip. The carriage began to speed up. However, it was not very fast.
Jiang Ting sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside through the curtain. He frowned. This speed was too slow.
According to his estimation, the carriage would travel nearly a hundred miles per day.
However, according to the current speed of the carriage, if there was a situation where the road was uneven, traveling fifty miles a day would already be extremely fast... How could it be so slow?
He thought for a moment. After thinking for a while, Jiang Ting finally reacted. The carriage was just an ordinary carriage after all. It was only slightly faster than an ordinary person's running speed.
At this speed, when could they reach the capital?
After staring at the scenery outside for a long time, Jiang Ting finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother Huo."
"Scholar, do you feel that your speed is fast? If you can't bear the vibration, I will slow down a little." Huo Qing's somewhat heroic voice sounded.
"There's no need."
After a pause, Jiang Ting said softly, "I have yet to go to the imperial capital. " But I don't know how far this place is from the imperial capital. "
Huo Qing thought for a while before replying, "This should be the border of Great Zhou's territory. It is about ten thousand miles away from the imperial capital."
Ten thousand miles... Jiang Ting's mouth twitched.
This distance was too short for his real body. If he broke through the space, he would be able to cross ten thousand miles in an instant.
Even if he were to simply fly, he would only need half a breath's time to use all of his strength.
But now, with the speed of this carriage... it would take nearly a year to travel.
Back then, if he did not ride the horse carriage and used the horses nurtured by Great Zhou, the horses that could travel a thousand miles a day would only be a journey of ten days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting suppressed his thoughts. "At our current speed, we would probably need a year to travel. Sigh... I wonder how many people will die in the hands of the demons of the Catastrophe Imperial Program this year."
Huo Qing sighed lightly as well. The Great Zhou Emperor is currently in a bad state. ... Sigh, if it wasn't for the fact that the Great Zhou has not produced an enlightened monarch for hundreds of years, the current Great Zhou would have dared to bring disaster to the world."
The corner of Jiang Ting's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
As for Hong Lian, although she had always looked at Jiang Ting with some tenderness and affection, perhaps because she was a ghost, she only looked at him purely and did not hold hands or anything to prevent the cold air from invading Jiang Ting's body.
...
The sun had set.
After half a day of travelling, the carriage had only left the Gu Lin Town for less than 30 miles. Although this distance was short, it was a pity that because it was a mortal, this distance could already be considered extremely long.
At the very least, ordinary mortals wouldn't be able to see beyond thirty miles.
Not far from the carriage, a ruined temple appeared.
No one knew who the temple was worshipping. The broken temple, the broken temple.
Huo Qing's carriage came to a stop. "Scholar, let's rest here for the night."
"Okay." Jiang Ting got up and left the carriage. He did not look too good.
He had a normal body. He sat in the carriage for an afternoon. His whole body was sore from the shaking of the carriage.
After entering the ruined temple, Hong Lian first bowed to the statue that was covered in spider webs and tusks. Then, she waved her hand and blew away the dust and spider webs in the temple with a gentle breeze.0
Huo Qing, who was about to tidy up the temple, smiled. "It saves my energy."
Hong Lian smiled and looked around. "Young Master, there is a cold at night. I will go to the surroundings to pick up some firewood."
Huo Qing suddenly said, "I will go."
Hong Lian looked at Huo Qing in surprise. She could tell that Huo Qing had already left Baili Jing because he was a ghost. Actually, they did not like her and even felt a little disgusted.
It was just because of Jiang Ting that his arrogance did not hurt her. Therefore, the two of them only suppressed their thoughts in their hearts. However, she also knew that Huo Qing was accompanying them. Then Huo Qing definitely wouldn't let her and Jiang Ting be alone.
That was why she had taken the initiative to pick up some dried wood and use it to resist the cold at night.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Huo Qing turned around. "The scholar has the Boundless Qi to protect himself. With your methods, you won't be able to hurt him. Furthermore, the journey to the Imperial Capital is very long. I don't have the time to keep an eye on you. I might as well trust you. I'm willing to trust you. "
There was one more thing that Huo Qing didn't say. ... Since Hong Lian couldn't hurt Jiang Ting, he hoped that Hong Lian would harm Jiang Ting. In this way, he could take advantage of the situation and slash at her.
Of course, if Hong Lian wasn't tempted, Of course, he didn't want to continue being that evil person. There was still a long time to go.
Then, under Hong Lian's gaze, Huo Qing left the temple. He looked in the direction and flew towards Fang Xi, who was close to the forest... As the first saber in the world, his martial arts were naturally not weak.
Jiang Ting said softly with a gentle expression, "Huo Qing has a straightforward personality. Hong Lian, don't blame him."
"No, he is only thinking for Young Master." Hong Lian shook her head.
Jiang Ting smiled and looked at the green-faced and tusks statue. The corner of his mouth twitched. He did not know who this temple worshiped. This statue was really ugly.
Soon, about fifteen minutes later.
"Huhuhu..." With the sound of air being torn apart, Huo Qing returned to the temple with a series of afterimages.
At the same time, there were also many firewood in his arms... as well as a wild boar that weighed at least two hundred pounds.
"Tonight, we will have to eat it."
With a carefree voice, Huo Qing strode into the temple. "I originally wanted to hunt a few rabbits to satisfy my hunger, but I didn't expect to bump into this wild boar. At night, we roasted it and ate it. Unfortunately, we didn't find a stream or river nearby, so we couldn't wash the hair and blood. It would be a waste."
Huo Qing was indeed a lone ranger who traveled the world. ... There was naturally no lack of things like flint.
At the same time, he also let Jiang Ting experience his "supreme" saber technique. With a few slashes of his saber, he quickly cut off nearly twenty kilograms of mountain pork that was not stained with blood.
After the firewood was set, he prepared to roast the meat.
Jiang Ting's brows slightly sank. He didn't wash it. It was full of the smell of blood. He didn't want to eat it. Who knew what kind of things were inside?
However, when he thought about his current condition, he shook his head slightly... He was here to seize the source of the world, not to enjoy life. With his current condition, he had to eat even if he didn't want to.
Eating dry rations alone was not nutritious.
In between his emotions, Jiang Ting said softly, "Brother Huo, don't roast all of them with fire."
"Hmm?" Huo Qing turned his head and revealed a puzzled expression.
Jiang Ting saw this and smiled. "Hong Lian has the body of a ghost now. Although the roasted boar will taste much better, what Hong Lian needs is not food, but flesh and blood essence. After you are roasted, all of the flesh and blood essence will be melted. To Hong Lian, the mountain pork is like chewing wax."
"I don't need flesh and blood essence." Hong Lian hurriedly shook her head and denied.
