After saying goodbye to Cangyuan, Pan Long flew northwest by the wind.

Where are the countries in the Western Regions? In fact, he is not very clear.

As far as he knows, there are roughly two roads to go to the countries in the Western Regions. One road is to cross a series of high mountains, such as the Tianshan Mountains, and trek along the rugged mountain roads. After crossing the steep and continuous mountains, you can come to the vast Western Region plains.

There is not much rainfall here, the land is slightly drought, but there are many rivers. Along the river, there are urban villages of all sizes, forming several countries.

This area is rich in spices, transporting grain and silk from the Central Plains to exchange for spices, and the profits are extremely high, so it is called "The Road to Spices".

This road is difficult to walk, but there is nothing particularly dangerous apart from that. The famous mountains on the road have long been occupied by various demon gods, and these demon gods have a covenant with the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as you are careful, you will pray and sacrifice every time you go to the realm of the demon gods, and you will basically not encounter ferocious beasts or monsters.

As for robbers, it is even more impossible. What kind of psychopathic robbers live in such a remote place? Are you waiting to feed the monsters?

The other road starts from the Jincheng defense line on the edge of the northern region, and goes west along the territory of the deserted tribe with relatively good relations with Daxia. Finally, you can pass through the vast desert and reach another place in the Western Regions.

That area does not produce spices, but produces gold, silver and gems. The grain and silk from the Central Plains can be transported there to exchange for gold, silver and jewelry, and the profit is extremely rich, so it is called "The Road to Gem".

...Of course, for the countries in the Western Regions, no matter which road, they transported the food they urgently needed and the high-value silk, so both roads were called the "Silk Road" by them.

Pan Long has read the "All Map of Great Xia Kingdoms". It is said that it is the most detailed world map in the world. It not only contains the geography of the Jiuzhou of Daxia, but also includes the countries in the Western Regions, even the Indian, the southeastern seas, as well as the grasslands in the north and the ice fields in the northeast.

But to be honest, he looked down on that map very much.

The drawing technology in this world is obviously very problematic, and the geographical length is very distorted. In his opinion, the map of the Age of Discovery that he had seen in his previous life at the home of that history enthusiast friend.

The location on the map is naturally correct, but the direction and distance between locations are not very reliable. If you use this map as a reference for travel, the length of the distance is basically impossible to estimate. Even if you want to go, you must rely on the "landmarks" marked on the map to confirm.

This is no problem for those who walk on the ground - because long distances require landmarks to determine the location. But it is very troublesome for people like Pan Long who fly in the sky.

He flies extremely fast, and can fly more than 10,000 miles in one day, and landmarks or something... he will miss it if he is not careful.

So although he can walk straight lines in the sky, he actually still has to move along the winding roads on the map, otherwise... he will be lost in the sky, which is quite funny.

When it was almost dark, Pan Long saw Guimen Mountain.

Seeing this mountain that was almost the "gateway to the north", he felt aroused and remembered something.

Shortly after the Chinese New Year this year, when he passed by Guimen Mountain, he saw that "Nine Mountain King" He Ping'an was imprisoned by Fenwu Captain Li Wu using a ban formation on the top of Guimen Mountain. He was trapped among several big trees and painted a prison.

This famous robber in the north has been hiding in the Western Regions countries a few years ago. He should be very familiar with the situation of the Western Regions countries, right?

Thinking of this, he fell down the clouds and came to the big pine trees that looked ordinary.

There was a straw shed built against the trunk in the middle of the big tree. There was a slight snoring sound from the straw shed. It seemed that He Ping'an was already asleep.

Pan Long shook his head, feeling that the thief of the North was really lacking in vigilance.

A person of unknown origin has been able to sleep at a place not more than ten feet away from him?

But then I thought about it and this formation isolates the inside and outside, and even if someone comes, he will not be able to do anything to He Ping'an. If the person who comes really can break the formation, then He Ping'an is probably not an opponent.

Since that's the case, it seems nothing strange to let go of your vigilance and sleep loudly.

He pressed his hand on a large pine tree nearby, concentrated his mind and felt the formation arranged by Li Wu.

Soon, he felt that the energy of heaven and earth was driven by some wonderful trajectory, and a huge and complete pattern was outlined nearby - there was no doubt that this pattern was the formation.

Pan Long tried to send a stream of true energy towards the formation pattern, trying to disturb it. However, after the true energy flowed in, it suddenly lost control, turned around in the air for a few times, and then poured into the formation, which became part of the formation.

"It's really mysterious!" He couldn't help but praise.

He Ping'an is the peak of the innate world and is close to the realm of returning to nature. Li Wu is confident that he can trap him with this formation until he is willing to bow his head, because this formation can even trap people in the real world.

Judging from the situation just now, this seems to be true.

Pan Long's operation shocked the heaven and earth's vitality and finally woke He Ping'an up.

He walked out of the straw hut with disheveled face. When he saw Pan Long appear, he sighed and said, "Xiao Pan, thank you for coming to see me again. But don't waste your energy, this formation cannot be broken."

Pan Long said: "That's not necessarily true. Senior He please wait, I'll try another way."

As he said that, he pulled out the cicada wing knife, and the true energy surged, and the knife light flashed like a ray of light growing more than three feet long.

"I'll take a look. Can this formation block the knife?"

He waved the cicada wing knife and cut it towards the pine tree in front of him. But the light of the knife fell on the pine tree and penetrated directly, as if the pine tree was just a phantom and did not really exist.

Pan Long was stunned for a moment, walked two steps closer and then touched, but he clearly touched the mottled bark.

"This is very strange..." He murmured to himself, and tried to cut another knife, but it was still gone.

"Don't waste your energy." He Ping'an said, "This tree is between reality and reality, and it's very strange. I even suspect that they are not trees at all, but magic weapons specially created for imprisonment formations."

When Pan Long heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately had some idea.

"Magic weapon? Then let me try this trick!"

As he said that, he put away the cicada wing knife and pressed the tree trunk with both hands. With a thought, a scroll emerged, and a powerful attraction emanated from the scroll, like a vortex, constantly absorbing everything around him.

The imitated Shanhai Jing itself is an extremely high-end storage magic weapon. Using its storage ability, you can naturally do things like this big vortex.

After a moment, the formation composed of the vital energy of heaven and earth gradually vibrated.

The vitality of heaven and earth is endless, but in this small area around it, the vitality of heaven and earth is limited.

When these heaven and earth vital energy were taken away by Pan Long, the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy had no time to replenish, so a brief blank appeared.

This time is very short, but for experts like Pan Long and He Ping'an, it is enough!

Pan Long had to be busy absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, and he didn't have time to be distracted for a while, but He Ping'an was such a shrewd person - he could go through the world alone and cast the title of "King of Jiushan" in the green forest with various open and hidden guns and arrows conspiracy. Even if there were many shrewd people in the world, even if there were, there would not be too many.

He saw the opportunity at a glance, took a deep breath, and was ready.

Just as the surrounding heaven and earth's vitality was almost reduced to the thinnest, he roared suddenly and crashed into the gap between several nearby trees.

There was a loud bang, as if something hard was broken, his figure flashed and appeared outside the formation.

Because he used too much force, he couldn't even stop and fell out from the top of the mountain.

What echoed in the air was not a panic cry, but a cheerful laugh.

"Haha! I'm free!"

After a while, He Ping'an returned to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, he was energetic. Although his body was still so sloppy that people didn't want to get close to him, he was like a brocade dress, emitting a high aura.

"Xiao Pan, thank you!" he said, "It was fine last time, this time He really received your kindness!"

"Pan has always remembered Senior He's mercy back then." Pan Long replied.

He Ping'an smiled: "In my life, I have killed many people and showed mercy many times. But I have lived for decades, and I have killed countless people, relatives and friends, and have come to seek revenge on me. But I have the only one who has mercy on my hands and found opportunities to repay me."

"Others just don't have a chance."

"Maybe. But when we walk around the world, we pay attention to avenging revenge. When we make enemies, we don't care whether there will be revenge in the future; when our subordinates show mercy, we don't care whether there will be revenge in the future." He Ping'an smiled casually and said, "I think you are also a cheerful person. I think you should never care about others seeking revenge or repaying your kindness. But you keep your owed others to heart and be obsessed with... This is a good thing, but not a good thing."

Pan Long was a little puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"

"It's a good thing, because people like you may not have many friends, but when you encounter difficulties, there is definitely no shortage of people who are willing to die for you - although you may even have no impression of him. For the people in the martial arts world, you are the kind of heroes and heroes, the leader in the right way, and the king in the green forest. If the wind and clouds are surging and the world changes, maybe you can also ride the wind and be called a marquis. Even the throne of God is not impossible to think about it."

He paused and said, "It is because people like you care too many principles and too many things they can't let go. These worldly affairs will involve your mental strength and prevent you from going to a higher path. If I read it correctly, you should have returned to nature and entered the realm of a real person. With your age, this can be called a miracle! People like you are qualified to pursue immortality, and everything in the world is too small in front of immortality."

He sighed and said, "Even Emperor Jiazi, he will never be able to live forever. He has a lifetime of fame and a unique achievement, so what? Who will remember him thousands of years later? Immortality... is the most amazing thing!"

At this moment, he looked full of longing. He was not like the green forest hero who was dominating the world. He was clearly a dream-chasing boy full of ideals!

After a long time, He Ping'an came to his senses, smiled and said, "My words are just my opinion. They may be of some help to you, but you don't need to listen to them all - as far as I know, the path of every immortal is different. After all, you should follow your own path, and the best one is suitable for you."

Pan Long nodded and said that he understood.

From these words, we can see that He Ping'an should have never really come into contact with the immortals, and he did not have the opportunity like him to receive the teachings of several immortals. However, the words He Ping'an gave him can be called a heartfelt word. Even if it is not helpful to him, this sincerity itself is valuable.

"Senior He, what are your plans next?" he asked.

"Plan?" He Ping'an smiled, "Of course, he is leaving Daxia, and he will run as far as he can. When will he become a master, he can really dominate the world without fear of any opponents, and when will he come back."

"Then where are you going?"

He Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Western Regions first. I made some arrangements there at the beginning, but I don't know how it is now. If I don't go back and take a look, I will feel uneasy."

Pan Long smiled: "Since that's the case, can you please help me with me?"

“What’s the busy thing?”

"I owe someone a favor," Pan Long said, "You also know that people like us don't like to owe people the most. Owe people is even more uncomfortable than being poisoned and injured. So I want to repay you... For this reason, I need to go outside of Daxia and publish a book. I heard that there are also Daxia characters in the Western Regions. Can you please help me be a guide?"

He Ping'an smiled: "So it's such a small thing. Don't worry! It's covered by me! I'm very familiar with the situation of the countries in the Western Regions."

So, before it was dark, they went down to Guimen Mountain and ran all the way to the northwest.

He Ping'an has not yet cultivated to the realm of real people and does not have the ability to fly by the wind. However, his light skills are superb. When he runs with all his strength, he is as fast as a flash, and it is not much slower than Pan Long's flight speed.

Pan Long's light skills were completely incomparable to him. At the beginning, he tried to follow him with his light skills, but after running for about ten miles, He Ping'an advised him to fly. His face turned red and he rose up with the wind. One of them was speeding in the sky and the other was running wildly on the ground, and his speed was almost the same.

Looking at He Ping'an running fast on the ground, Pan Long finally understood why he was able to escape repeatedly under the command of Li Wu, the master of the unity of man and nature, in his innate realm.

If this light skill is used well, with the help of the appropriate terrain, it is indeed unpredictable!

He Ping'an was obviously imprisoned for a long time and ran wildly that night. When it was dawn, Pan Long had even seen a golden high wall near the horizon ahead, which was endless.
Chapter completed!
