Chapter 487 Dress Up
An Ti and Xu Chen left the Curtain City together. There was a small hill between the Curtain City and Xuanjing, and the slope was not steep. After the regular mountain road was built, it was not difficult to travel between the two sides.

Walking along the mountain path into the mountains, the Curtain City behind me completely disappeared from sight.

"Alas, I have never been to Xuanjing in my life. Suddenly, the capital city has become like a base camp for demons and monsters. Master, what do you think?"

“I’m not from here.”

Xu Chen thought about it and continued, "Master, if Xuanjing, which is regarded as the capital of the dynasty, is rotten to the core, then what should be done with other places in Daxuan?"

"Rebellion." Anti said casually.

“…Can you say this directly?”

"You have already colluded with the government in the street, is there anything you can't say?" Anti glanced at him strangely.

"At most, we have petty criminals who have committed crimes, and it's just a minor incident. As for rebellion, that's another matter. There have been many rebellions in recent years, but as soon as the Demon Suppression Division reacted, they brought the army to suppress them. Currently, there are only a few that have become powerful, and only the Blood Alliance can be considered a force."

Anti now also learned the details of this blood alliance from them.

This was a force initiated by a martial arts sect, which absorbed many rebellious forces and even brought in masters other than Xuan Shang to help.

Their power also spread across the country during these years, and they even invaded Xuanjing at one point, disrupting the situation in Xuanjing. They took the opportunity to move in and confront the court in front of other people's base camps.

In the eyes of many people in the world, that is where people with ambitions should go.

After walking a few steps, An Ti saw that the mountain road was rugged and said, "This road is not easy to walk on. I need to speed up."

"No problem. My body movement and lightness skills are pretty good. I should be able to keep up with the master." Xu Chen patted his chest and said.

"No, you can't keep up... That's not right. I can let you keep up, but it depends on whether your body can bear it." Anti looked at him.

Could it be that he wants to teach me something?
Xu Chen's spirits perked up, his eyes sparkling: "Let go, Master! I'm in good health, I can definitely bear it!"

……

The howling of ghosts and wolves echoed through the mountains and forests.

Xu Chen was carried on Anti's shoulders and rushed forward. Anti pushed forward recklessly, and the surrounding scenery flashed from the front to the back in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chen felt like his body was about to fall apart, the skin on his face was about to be blown away by the wind, and his body was generating heat from the friction of the air.

He was wrong!
Most people can’t endure this kind of practice!

Generally, when a big boss uses his extraordinary Qinggong to lead others, won’t he still use his Qi to protect the younger ones? ?

Is this some kind of test!?

Now he could only keep squeezing out breaths to keep his body from being broken apart by Anti's speed.

Fortunately, An Ti would slow down every once in a while to ask if he was taking the right path, otherwise Xu Chen would have lost his soul halfway sooner or later.

When they climbed over the hill and could see the outline of Xuanjing City in the distance, Anti saw that the most difficult and time-consuming journey was over, so he let Xu Chen go.

After Xu Chen came down and took two steps, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

"what happened?"

what happened?
What else can happen!
Naturally, Xu Chen couldn't say such bold words. He just gasped and touched his face to make sure his skin was still there.

"Master... is this a test for me?"

"What test?"

"It's just... you didn't use your energy to protect me..."

"..."Anti looked down at Xu Chen with an expressionless face. Although he had no expression, Xu Chen inexplicably felt a hint of disgust.

"Does this still require Qi protection?"

"Of course!" Xu Chen spoke loudly, but his voice faded before he finished speaking. He muttered in a low voice: "You have such powerful Qinggong skills. It's too difficult for me to condense my Qi to protect myself while being carried by you."

Anti wanted to say something, but gave up. There was no point in talking too much about this topic, so he just sighed silently.

If I had gone at full speed, Xu Chen would probably have been killed by me. The speed along the way was already very good for him, and it would be too troublesome to use Qi to protect others.

Xu Chen felt that he was being despised.

Maybe it’s an illusion…

After Xu Chen took a rest, they walked towards Xuanjing together.

Just as the person who asked before said, just across a hill, the weather in Xuanjing was even gloomier than that in Curtain City, and it was still dark even during the day.

The smell of blood became stronger, and the blood rain changed from a drizzle to a light rain that felt more substantial when it fell on the body. The rain mist in the distance seemed to be mixed with red at first glance, and looked like blood mist, but upon closer inspection, it felt like it was just an illusion, and it was just normal thin white mist.

The entire Xuanjing was shrouded in rain, and the only visible buildings were shadows connected together, like a crawling giant.

If you walk into it, you will be swallowed by this abyss.

It looks more like a devil's cave than some great Xuandu city.

Xu Chen swallowed his saliva as he watched, and for a moment he even had the urge to turn around and run away from this "huge monster". This place was simply a ghost town made up in those strange stories!
Is this really a place where people can stay?

Because of years of rain, the road was very muddy. The two men walked along the side of the road. From time to time, a few carriages passed by and fled away.

This should be a place that countless people yearn for, but now people are constantly leaving.

We passed by a tavern along the way and took a rest here for a while as we had just arrived.

In fact, it was also unexpected. Before in Veil City, most of the inns and restaurants had closed down, but here there was actually one opened on the roadside.

The store was also deserted, except for a waiter who was dozing off at the counter. He quickly stood up when he heard someone coming.

Xu Chen went up to ask what was there, and the waiter said there was no food, only some fermented rice wine, which was not cheap.

This is an old shop that has been open for many years. It is said that the owner's family has been running the business for four generations, or about fifty years.

When Xuanjing was still the bright and beautiful capital, this road was bustling with people, passing by many merchants and heroes.

But now, it has fallen to such a cold and deserted state.

The current boss is ill due to the long rainy season and cannot be with the store all the time. I am afraid that the store will have to close in the future.

When Antio talks about the history of the dream world and the past when the pillar gods existed, compared with hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years, the fifty years of these generations are still far from a hundred years and are too frivolous.

But for ordinary people, the weight of time is already contained in it.

The two of them ordered a jar of wine and sat at a table near the door to rest.

But the wine was basically for Xu Chen. Anti poured a glass, but except for the initial sip, he didn't touch it again.

"Master, this wine is indeed good. Is it not to your liking?"

"It's just that I can't drink it. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"It's my money anyway... uh, I mean I won't be polite then!" Xu Chen said quickly.

Anti was staring at the rain outside the window in a daze. Suddenly, a shadow rose behind him.

Xu Chen was drinking happily when he saw the shadow behind An Ti. His eyes widened and he spit out a mouthful of wine: "Oh my goodness! There is a drug in the wine! Why do I see another dark monster behind the master!"

Jasmine, who had just walked out of the shadows: "..."

"This monster has transformed into a beautiful woman!"

Jasmine pointed her finger, and a golden light flashed. Xu Chen suddenly felt nauseous and ran out the door. He felt so happy drinking it just now that he was vomiting now.

Anti held up his face and watched. Jasmine took her hand back and gently pinched Anti's cheek again: "Did you smile just now?"

"No way, I don't just have this expression." Anti's cheeks were pinched, but his expression was still dead, but his words leaked.

"One pixel!"

"...What are you doing here all of a sudden?" Anti could only change the subject.

Jasmine let go of her hand, and immediately the familiar standard smile returned to her face. She raised her hands and took out a set of clothes from somewhere.

It is a flying fish suit with a black background and gold patterns.

“New clothes!”

"You're still doing this in the shadows..."

"I really should have come to Xuanshang earlier. The costumes here really inspired me!" said Jasmine.

As she said that, she stuffed the clothes into An Ti's hands and said, "Hurry up and change. Why are you still wearing a coat in this ancient country of Xuanshang? It's too out of place. You look very different at first glance. You should adapt to the local customs."

Anti wanted to say that if you wear a flying fish suit on the street, you will be very conspicuous, not to mention this self-modified style. People who understand you will feel that there is something wrong with you at first glance.

But when it comes to changing clothes, Anti has no right to refuse.
