Origin

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's expression was not joking, Li Bie felt the seriousness of the problem and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and pointed to the west, "You will know when you get there."

"What to do?" Li Bie asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but made a gesture to put on armor. At the same time, he sent out his thoughts to inspire the Qinglong Armor.

Li Bie's armor was stored not far from the stone chamber. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, he summoned the armor, put it on before the arrival of the Qinglong Armor, and took off first.

The green dragon armor then flew quickly from the northeast. Wu Zhongyuan raised his energy and took to the air, stretched out his arms to greet it. When all the armor pieces were attached, he waved to Libie. The two of them were separated by about ten feet and walked westward in parallel.

Although he was wearing the green dragon armor, Wu Zhongyuan did not fly quickly. Li Bie felt that Wu Zhongyuan was deliberately accommodating her, so he said, "I can be faster."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Don't worry, it will definitely be too late today. Even if we take action, we have to wait until tomorrow."

Li Bie didn't know why and looked at him doubtfully.

Wu Zhongyuan explained, "It is already Chen hour, and it will take at least four hours to get to that place from here. It is not appropriate to start after dark."

Li Bie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't take the initiative to talk to her anymore. He was in urgent need of Xuan Jing at the moment, and the bird tribe's Xuan Jing reserves were very small. They originally only got the head part of the Xuan Jing statue. After using it over the years, there is probably not much left. Well, if you want to get Xuan Jing, you can only go to the ruined temple in Kunlun Mountain.

He had personally visited the ruined temple before and had confirmed that that place was the altar of the beast tribe. He also discovered that there were ferocious things in that altar that were not visible to the naked eye. The last time he went there, his cultivation was too weak. Without the strength to enter the altar, after realizing that the danger was real, he could only retreat temporarily. Now he is no longer the Amon of the past. In the past, he was prepared to use the Azure Dragon Armor and Fire Dragon Qi to confront the opponent head-on.

The door of the altar opened to the east, so it was a head-on battle. He also hoped that it could be fought when the sun shines into the altar. Invisible things are often yin and yang, and it would be beneficial to him to fight in the sun.

The ancients said that everything will be done in advance, and failure in advance will lead to failure. Action is important, but the plan before taking action is more important. While flying over, Wu Zhongyuan thought about the situation of the altar in detail in his mind, including that place. The size and orientation of the altar, the nature of the aura barrier, and even the angle at which half of the stone door opened were also carefully recalled. In addition, it also fully foresees various situations that may be encountered.

Make sure you are not caught off guard and at a loss when an accident occurs.

What was finally determined was the action plan. The last time he went there, he had observed the altar at close range. He had seen everything that could be seen from the outside. There was no need to delay the observation this time. He took action immediately after landing. He didn't hesitate for a second. The longer he was delayed from outside, the more fully prepared the ferocious monsters inside were. He couldn't give them a chance to recover and deal with it. The soldiers were very quick, so they were quick to attack, and they were stunned first.

The Tianchi volcano is in the northeast and the Kunlun Mountain Orc Altar is in the northwest, but they are not at the same latitude. Compared with the Tianchi volcano, the Kunlun Mountain Orc Altar is farther south, so the moving route of the two is not straight to the west. But slightly to the south.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them arrived in the northeast of Kunlun Mountain. This place happened to be where the Yinma River was located. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan also came to the Yinma River on purpose, so that he could take a short rest and have something to eat. Things, if you sleep again, it will be too late to leave at dawn. Secondly, they had been here before after coming out of Kunlun Mountain. Starting from here and returning to Kunlun Mountain would ensure that they could find the orc altar in the shortest possible time.

The Yinma River and the Goat Valley are of the same nature. They are both trade places outside of China. The difference from the Goat Valley is that the exchange of the Yinma River is carried out during the day. Logically speaking, it should be nearing the end at this time, but in the city There were still many people, and several eating stalls were full.

Wu Zhongyuan was still wearing the same old clothes as before, and he was not conspicuous when walking among the crowd. Li Bie followed behind him. Seeing that most of the pedestrians around him were rude and brutal, with ferocious faces, he followed the example of other women on the street. The scarf covered her face so that no one would look at her.

Wu Zhongyuan exchanged copper pieces for two roasted naan breads, gave one to Li Bie, took one for himself, squatted at the base of a wall, and ate by himself.

Why are there so many people in the city when it's almost dark? It's easy to figure out this problem. You just need to listen to the conversations of passers-by to understand. There is a call in the city tonight. The so-called call is somewhat similar to In modern auctions, what is auctioned is not objects but living people. To put it bluntly, they are slaves, but at this time they are not called slaves, they are called captives.

This should belong to the developed period of primitive society, and it has not yet entered the slave society, but now there is the phenomenon of using slaves. Various tribes, including the three giants of Middle-earth, will use the soldiers, women and children of the defeated party as slaves to use Farming labor.

Wu Zhongyuan was disgusted with this phenomenon and behavior, but some things were not based on his will. Whether he liked it or not, the phenomenon of selling and driving slaves existed objectively at this time.

Maybe it was because the waiting time was about to come, and in the blink of an eye there was no one on the street. Wu Zhongyuan was choking on his baked naan, and when he saw that the table at the food stall was empty, he pulled Li Bie over and sat down, shouting at the stall owner. Have two bowls of broth.

The stall owner brought the broth to the two of them and then covered the pot. "I'll go over and have a look. If there's anything I like, I'll buy it. You two can do what you want."

Just as Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer, the stall owner had already pulled off his greasy apron and limped towards the north.

There is no plan for the buildings in Yinma River. The houses are built in various directions. There is an open area dozens of meters away to the north. There is a large wooden platform in the open space, and the walking is done from there.

Seeing Li Bie turning his head to look north from time to time, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Eat quickly. After dinner, find a place to stay for one night before leaving."

Li Bie nodded and lowered his head to eat and drink. Women at this time have a common characteristic. They don't chew carefully and slowly. When they eat, they just eat. They eat in big mouthfuls. They will not show their dislike for meat, no matter it is In their opinion, meat or grain are both filling foods, and there is no essential difference.

Although the two of them did not go over to watch the excitement, they could clearly hear the sounds coming from the north. The protest was initiated by the Black Widow, the city owner of Yinma River. She was considered the organizer. There were more than two hundred slaves in the auction. People come in all shapes and sizes, including men, women, old and young.

Black Widow may be present, or she may not be there, because from where the two of them are sitting, they cannot see the specific situation of the auction in the north. They can only hear someone shouting to introduce the general situation of the slaves being auctioned, and then they are shouting. Quotation, since there is no fixed currency at this time, all important means of life and production can be used for bidding, including cattle and sheep, as well as metal, salt and grain.

After listening for a few rounds, I found that adult men are the least popular and have the lowest price. In fact, adult men are a good labor force. The reason why they are unpopular is that they are difficult to manage and can easily escape. Secondly, there are children. The price of children is not high. Not only do they need to be raised, but they cannot participate in heavy physical labor.

The price is higher for women, but that's only relatively speaking. Two ewes can be exchanged for a woman who can give birth. Is that considered high? It doesn't count, but in this cruel current situation, women have no ability to fight, and they can't decide their own destiny. They can only go with the flow and let others control them.

After eating and preparing to leave, an accident happened. There was a fire on the north side. The fire was located further north of the auction house and was a warehouse for storing forage.

It was already late autumn at this time, and the fodder for the livestock for the winter was dried and stored there. Seeing the warehouse on fire, the black widow hurriedly stopped calling and led people to put out the fire.

This was in ancient times. Let alone a fire, even if you wanted to light a fire, you would still have to knock and blow for a while. Therefore, the possibility of an accidental fire was very small, and it was probably caused by arson.

Black Widow and others were anxious, but Wu Zhongyuan was not anxious. Not only was he not anxious, he was also gloating about his misfortune. He ate the roasted naan with the broth, got up and took Li Bie to find a place to stay.

Not far away, I heard noises and shouts coming from the auction house. It seemed like someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rescue the slaves who were being auctioned.

There were not many inns in the city, and Wu Zhongyuan was worried that he would not be able to find a place to stay after the auction, so he ignored the chaos in the north and took Li Bie to the inn where everyone lived before.

Before entering, he turned his head and glanced north, only to see that the slave had been captured and was a little boy of about ten years old.

The man who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to save people couldn't get away. Instead, he threw himself in. Black Widow knocked him unconscious and threw him by the collar onto the stage.

"I'll kill you little bastard." A strong black man in the audience yelled and rushed to the stage, drew his knife and chopped.

Black Widow waved her left hand, sending out invisible spiritual energy to push the man away, "Black Mule, what do you want to do?"

"He shot my eldest brother to death. I want to avenge my brother." The strong black man shouted.

"You blind thing, she's a female." Black Widow said casually.

There was a large chair on the wooden platform. The black widow sat on the chair with her legs spread wide apart. The sitting posture was very unsightly, because she was facing the strong black man, who stared at her as if she was possessed. .

Black Widow noticed that he was looking around, but she didn't show any disgust. She just waved her hand impatiently, "Get out of here and sell her, and I'll give you what you get."

The strong black man did not dare to disobey the black widow's order. He cursed a few times, turned around and walked off the stage.

Wu Zhongyuan had already entered the inn, but when he heard the black widow's words, he exited the inn again. After frowning and looking at it, he turned and walked north.

"What do you want to do?" Li Bie followed.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. The man who was captured after failing to save him was knocked unconscious by the black widow and kept lying on the wooden platform. Although he couldn't see his head and face clearly, he felt that this man's figure looked familiar.

"That woman is a Taixuan cultivator. Her purple energy is mixed with black energy, so she must be a strange person." Li Bie reminded in a low voice.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer. He already knew what the Black Widow was. His attention was focused on the wooden platform. The man who fell on the wooden platform looked like A Luo. Although he couldn't see his face, he felt that he Unmistakable.

What he couldn't figure out was why Alo appeared here, and what was the relationship between the little boy she tried to rescue and her... 11
