Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 218
Datang Empire
In the spring of the 13th year of Apocalypse, Weicheng, a frontier city at the northwest end of the Tang Dynasty, was surrounded by thick and unusually thick earthen walls, and as the northwest wind blew, the earth suddenly flew up.

Outside the city wall of the earthen barrier, a luxurious convoy was slowly driving out of Weicheng. There were many guards around the convoy. It was obvious that the identities of the people in the carriage were quite extraordinary.

However, on such an exquisite and luxurious carriage, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of young girls on the leading carriage,
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was wearing a common cotton shirt. His black hair was curly and oily, whether it was natural or because it hadn't been washed for several years, but his face was dry. Clean, so clean that the few freckles on the cheeks can be seen clearly.

Beside him was a short and thin girl with dark complexion and ordinary eyes, about eleven or twelve years old.

The two of them sat in that luxurious carriage in all their attire and looked out of place, but the girl had a cold expression on her face, always looking at the boy who was dozing off on her frail shoulder.

As the convoy traveled all the way, Weicheng in the distance became farther and farther away, and soon turned into a black spot and disappeared on the horizon.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark-skinned girl gently patted the boy leaning on her shoulder.
"Master, it's getting dark."

The young man was awakened, rubbed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and saw that only the red afterglow of Haotian was left in the sky, so he raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop and prepare to set up camp.

The act of setting up camp after waking up caused many people in the convoy to glare at the young man. A maidservant on the protected carriage in the middle waved her hand with an ugly face, and the guards stopped and prepared to set up camp.

The maid took a deep breath, calmed down her unhappiness, and just jumped out of the carriage and walked slowly towards the boy, looking down at the boy who was lying comfortably on the grass
"I shouldn't have asked you to be my guide."

The voice was proud and indifferent, and the maidservant's superior posture made the young man curl his lips involuntarily, and said indifferently, "It's up to you."

"Ning Que! You..."

The proud maid was trembling with anger, but in the end she didn't attack on the spot, and looked at the tired young man with disgust and returned to the carriage in the middle with a flick of her sleeves.

"Hmph, I really can't figure out how a tired slob like him got into the academy."

The maid vented her indignation. If she hadn't heard that the boy was admitted to the academy, she would not have thought of letting him be the guide. Ye Changmeng had no choice but to admit it.

The surrounding guards were skilled in digging soil, building stoves, collecting firewood, boiling water, and building tents. Everything was in order. They were obviously veterans. The dark and skinny girl glanced at the busy crowd, as if she wanted to do something within her power, and picked up the bucket. Then go to the distant stream.

"Sangsang, bring more boiling water, I have to wash my feet tonight."

The young man rolled his eyes at the skinny black girl, and didn't go up to help. He was still lying on the grass with a contented expression on his face, like an old man waiting to eat and drink.

"Understood, young master."

There was no dissatisfaction on the girl's dark face, she was accustomed to it, and the servant girl who was watching from a distance frowned even more, and regretted finding him as a guide in her heart, and a tall and strong guard next to her was about to He got up, but was stopped by her shaking her head again.

There are many people and strength, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, a camp soon appeared in the open space. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Just as everyone was about to light the fire for cooking, suddenly the ground shook and there was a roar. Come from afar.

"Be careful!"

"Stand up a shield!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

Seeing this, all the guards pulled out their weapons and looked around vigilantly. Even the young man with a tired face clenched the long knife on his back, vigilantly looking around.

After everyone had been on guard for a long time, they still didn't see any trouble, as if the roar just now was just an illusion.

The night wind blew, and the proud maid on the carriage hugged the boy in her arms tightly. Seeing that there was still no movement for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?"

"No, this is not an earth dragon turning around, but man-made."

An old voice came from another carriage, and I saw an old man in an old robe looking at the valley in the distance. With his cultivation level, he could still see the sudden buildings in the valley even if they were far apart. Can't help flickering with a look of surprise and uncertainty,

Hearing this, the young man's eyes flashed brightly, following the eyes of the old man, he saw that there was indeed a faint light in the valley, the soft light was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, even though everyone was still far away from the valley, they could still faintly see the light. See a little.

The young man frowned, looked at the soft light in surprise, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "It's a little familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

However, even though he pondered for a long time, he still couldn't find the answer. In this life, apart from his childhood in Chang'an, he was chopping firewood in Weicheng. He was sure that his memory was fine, but the light made him feel so familiar. Where have I seen it.

"Master..."

The dark maid tugged on the boy's sleeve to wake up the boy who was in deep thought.

The young man looked at the maid suspiciously, and the dark-skinned maid pouted at the maid beside the bonfire. Seeing this, the young man rolled his eyes at the maid and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now, can you repeat what you said? "

Although she said sorry, but there was no trace of apology in that tired look, the disgusting look flashed in the maidservant's eyes, she took a deep breath to suppress her anger, and repeated in a bad tone: "Are you From Weicheng, have you ever seen the situation here?"

The young man spread his hands casually, expressing that he hadn't seen it before, and that indifferent attitude made the servant girl furious, and thanks to her deep scheming, she didn't show it on her face.

Seeing that the young man didn't seem to know anything, the old man in the carriage beside him had no choice but to say: "Since this little brother doesn't know, then the old man should go and find out."

After finishing speaking, the old man jumped out of the carriage and walked slowly towards the valley, apparently not caring whether he would be in danger, and with his strength in the Profound Realm, he was considered a master in the secular world. Although the strange buildings in the valley surprised him, they also There was no way to scare him off.

"Old man, let us go with you, so we can take care of you."

The boy's eyes flashed brightly, and he pulled his maid to keep up with the old man's pace. The old man rolled his eyes at the two of them, but he didn't wave them back.

The three of them walked carefully along the road to the light in the valley. The closer the boy felt the light was familiar, the pace under his feet couldn't help but quicken a little, and the three of them came to the light source within a short while.

"Damn! Where did you get the luxury villa?"
