Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 618 Clues
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys, but the relationship between Jiao Wenlong, Yang Yiyi and the other two is not good enough to be considered as "old friends", they can only be considered as acquaintances.

Jiao Wenlong was confused by the appearance of these three people here, and Yang Yiyi was also surprised that Jiao Wenlong appeared in southern Xinjiang.

However, it was rare to meet an acquaintance, so Yang Yiyi invited Jiao Wenlong to sit down and then introduced Qin Yan to him.

Yang Yiyi was about to say why she came to southern Xinjiang, but before she could open her mouth, Qin Yan kicked her lightly under the table, signaling her to shut up and say nothing more.

Then Wu Shaoyi smiled and asked:

"Why did Master Jiao come to Southern Xinjiang?"

So Yang Yiyi is not a simple-minded person. You and Jiao Wenlong only met once, but you told him everything the moment you met. You are too honest.

Ning Xianer and a group of fellow martial artists were investigating the connection between the people of Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions. This was a very secretive matter and was not spread among the martial arts world because they were afraid that there might be spies who would turn against them. Therefore, this matter should not be spoken about openly.

Let's leave the negotiation to Wu Shaoyi.

Jiao Wenlong didn't notice the small movement under the table, and immediately replied:

"Someone in my family is sick and urgently needs a medicinal herb, so I rushed to southern Xinjiang to search for it."

"I see. We came to Southern Xinjiang to look for someone. I wonder if Master Jiao has ever seen the outlaws of the Sixteenth Village?"

Let’s not talk about Ning Xianer, let’s just talk about the Sixteen Villages.

If someone knew about this matter, they would of course know what was going on as soon as they heard it. However, people who did not know the inside story would naturally be puzzled as to why the green forest heroes of the Sixteen Villages would actually run to Southern Xinjiang.

Although I feel a little sorry for Jiao Wenlong, now that I have left Central Plains, I should be more careful.

Wu Shaoyi stared at Jiao Wenlong's expression calmly. He looked normal, just slightly surprised.

"The heroes of the Sixteenth Village actually came to Southern Xinjiang?"

Then he added:

"I haven't met them, but I did meet some fellow martial artists when I was looking for medicinal herbs a few days ago."

When Yang Yiyi heard this, she wanted to ask more questions on the spot, but Wu Shaoyi was faster and asked immediately:
"Who is it?"

"There were quite a few people I didn't know, but Gu Tao was there too, and he invited me to do something big together. I declined because I had something important to do."

Gu Tao, the Thunder Sword, why is he everywhere?
"Didn't Gu Tao say what big thing it was?"

"They didn't say anything, and they seemed mysterious. But judging from their attire, they all seemed to be fellow martial artists. I was eager to get the medicine, so I didn't ask them in detail. I just knew that they seemed to have gone to Fenghuang Village."

"Where is Phoenix Village?"

Yang Yiyi finally got a word in, and Jiao Wenlong pointed to the southeast:

"It will take about five or six days to leave from Xiashan Town. The village is quite friendly to us Central Plains people and we have some trade exchanges."

At this point, a man dressed as a servant walked into the inn. Seeing Jiao Wenlong in the hall, he hurried over and apologized to Yang Yiyi and the others, saying:
"Master, the ferry and carriage are ready."

"Well, I'll come right away."

After saying this, Jiao Wenlong stood up, clasped his fists and said:

"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, but I have something important to do, so I can't stay for long. Take care, all of you. Goodbye."

Yang Yiyi and the other two also stood up and saw Jiao Wenlong off, watching him walk out of the inn and head towards the ferry.

It seems that Jiao Wenlong is indeed fine.

The three of them returned to their seats, and Yang Yiyi secretly took out the jade sceptre.

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

"I would rather you go back..." No matter what the reason is, Southern Xinjiang is not the familiar Central Plains after all. Just looking at the terrain, you can tell that it must be a place with poor mountains and bad waters.

But Li Chengxi also knew that Yang Yiyi would not give up until she confirmed Ning Xianer's safety, so he could only sigh and say:
"Jiao Wenlong should not have lied. Although we cannot be sure that Ning Xian'er went to Fenghuang Village, at least some people must have gone there."

While on the way, the three discovered that the group of knights led by Ning Xian'er were divided into several teams to chase the people from Southern Xinjiang. They were not sure how many teams they were divided into, nor were they sure where Ning Xian'er was, but as long as they caught up with one of the teams, they should be able to get some useful information.

"I'll ask the waiter later, especially about the news of Fenghuang Village. They say they are friendly, but after all, it is the territory of the Southern Xinjiang people. It's hard to say what they think of the Central Plains people."

"Oh."

"If you go to Phoenix Village, you must find a caravan to go with you. You can't go alone. You can't walk through the woods or over the mountains. Don't eat anything given by someone you don't know."

"Hey……"

"No prolonged sounds!"

"Oh."

If we find a caravan to travel with us, it will waste a lot of time and it will be much faster than traveling with just three people.

But it’s safe!

The man was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even have a map. It was a question whether he could get out of the forest after entering it.

"Also, be sure to carefully keep the fish scales that the Water God gave you yesterday. They can keep you out of water. Southern Xinjiang is a place with a network of rivers and streams. It would be good to carry them with you."

Yang Yiyi told Li Chengxi about the encounter with the Water God as soon as possible in the morning. He had also seen the fish scales.

Anyway, it’s a good thing given for free, so just take it.

"Also, before you leave, buy some extra medicine in town and bring it with you. Don't go into the forest if you see thick fog. I remember hearing that this place is full of miasma. I'll find some detoxifying potions for you to take with you. Drink them if you feel unwell."

Li Chengxi was like a nagging mother, giving Yang Yiyi instructions one by one.

There's nothing we can do. This girl is too straightforward. If no one is watching her, who knows what will happen. Li Chengxi can't stare at the computer 24 hours a day, so he can only tell her everything he can think of.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

After hurriedly having breakfast in the inn, the three of them immediately went out to ask if there was any caravan going to Fenghuang Village.

Since Fenghuang Village also belongs to the southern Xinjiang tribe that is willing to do business with the Central Plains people, there are caravans going to Fenghuang Village, but even the earliest one to depart will have to wait until tomorrow.

It has to be said that Li Chengxi's instructions were very timely. Yang Yiyi couldn't wait to catch up with Ning Xianer. If it weren't for Li Chengxi's instructions, she would definitely have gone straight to Fenghuang Village by herself.

However, it is not too late to set off tomorrow. The three of them can buy some things that can be used in southern Xinjiang in Xiashan Town. Unfortunately, the terrain of this ghost place is too complicated and there is no reliable map at all.

The three of them wandered around the market for a few rounds, and the maps they found were all different. Can you believe it?

As for other miscellaneous items, they can be found at the market, such as the most important anthelmintic.

There are snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere in southern Xinjiang, and the forests are filled with miasma. People from the Central Plains will definitely suffer from acclimatization if they come here.

How many bugs are there here?
Let’s put it this way, the signature dish of the Xiashan Inn is the insect feast…

Buy insect repellents, snake repellents, detoxifiers, and heat-clearing medicines. In short, buy everything you might need.

The next day, the three men, whose luggage was obviously two times larger than the day before, finally caught up with the caravan and left Xiashan Town in a mighty procession.

It takes five or six days to reach Fenghuang Village. Fortunately, there are roads to take on the way. It should be...

Nothing can go wrong, right?
