Fuji Shandong, mountain road.

As the sun set, the afterglow on the horizon was reflected on Wang Jiu's looking back, making this sword spirit with an ancient expression show a bit of the cold temperament of the golden-faced Buddha.

Seeing that the afterglow was about to end, Wang Jiu waved his hand: "Let's set up camp." ”

There was a sigh behind him.

"Isn't it? Stopping again? Shen Qingming's voice already revealed a sense of exhaustion.

In the team, Li Wanqing was also a little impatient: "Tsk, how far have we traveled this day?" Is there a hundred miles? ”

"One hundred and five .seventy-two miles, a straight-line distance." Wang Jiu casually burst out an accurate number that made people speechless, and then arranged, "Today it is Li Xinyu's turn to keep vigil, and Shen Qingming is in charge of the camp and dinner." ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

The two answers were in different tones, but they were both full of exhaustion.

Starting from Qingyun City, the group went all the way east to Shencheng, and it had been a full five days, and there was still half a distance from the terminal Shencheng. The speed of travel is unbelievable in this era of highly developed immortal civilization.

Exclude those who are amazingly strong and can fly on their own.

Normally, traveling from a big city like Qingyun City to other large cities, even if it is separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, only needs to pass through a teleportation array. Including the time to get to the city conveyor array, queuing through security and destination inspection, it usually doesn't take more than two hours.

Of course, such a convenient service means extremely expensive fares, except for those children of noble families, ordinary people are really unaffordable. Therefore, suboptimal solutions are usually chosen: shuttles, red wooden oxen and flowing horses, etc., generally the distance from Qingyun City to Shencheng will not exceed one day.

However, that is the general situation, given that the relationship between Shencheng and Qingyun City has been at a low point in recent decades, and even once on the brink of war, the direct teleportation array between cities has long been closed, and transportation modes such as shuttles and wooden oxen and flowing horses will also face stricter inspections and audits than other cities, resulting in a longer time.

As for Shen Qingming's party, there is a special reason why the journey has been delayed for so long. If you rewind the time to 5 days ago......

In the early morning, Wang Jiu, Shen Qingming, Li Wanqing, Li Chaolu, and Li Xinyu completed the assembly at the entrance of the Li family's compound, each with their luggage and a touch of excitement, ready to take the Li family's private shuttle to Shencheng.

Before leaving, Shen Qingming was half nervous, half sincere, and complained: "It is said that the Li family's shuttle has not been updated with a special budget, so the performance is already very backward, and it takes a whole day to fly in the air to reach Shencheng." ”

Li Wanqing added: "And for the sake of simplicity and pragmatism, the interior decoration and functional facilities are also so bad. The last time I went to Yuqing Mountain, I took a small shuttle, there was not even a bed in it, I sat for most of the day, and I couldn't lie down. ”

Li Xinyu also complained: "And the maid is also very perfunctory, fat, ugly, and old, and she doesn't give her any drink she wants." ”

Li Chaolu kicked him directly: "Because the beautiful ones are scared away by you, the dead fat man who asked for sister juice in public!" ”

Shen Qingming summed up his statement: "In short, we are going to stay in a shuttle with a cramped space and ugly waiters all day, right? It's boring......"

"It's boring indeed." The rest of the people chimed in, and then looked at a certain housewife in charge of the Li family's budget with expectant eyes.

Lu Xin glared at Shen Qingming, who took the lead in stirring up trouble, and said, "You are going to perform official business, not to travel!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiu proposed: "If you are bored, I have a way to make the journey very interesting, but the premise is that you strictly follow my instructions, are you interested?" ”

Li Wanqing said: "Strictly follow the instructions, is it a game?" ”

"So to speak." Wang Jiu nodded in approval.

"Then I'll join." Li Wanqing said, "The game in the era of the flood famine sounds very interesting. ”

Li Wanqing took the lead, and the rest of the people had no objections and joined one after another.

After confirming everyone's intentions, Wang Jiu nodded: "Okay, then carry out the first step and hand over your shuttle ticket to me." ”

Several people each took out Lu Xin's handwritten private shuttle ticket just nowβ€”with the names of several people written on it, the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and there were cute patterns painted on the edges, as well as Li Fengyun's personal sealβ€”and handed it to Wang Jiu, and then they were surprised to see Wang Jiu casually burn the ticket to ashes.

"Huh?!" Lu Xin screamed softly in shock at that time, and drew four private shuttle tickets that she could handle, but it took her a full hour!

Wang Jiu had no consciousness of destroying other people's artistic achievements, and said indifferently: "Okay, next, let's go on foot." ”

"Hiking?!"

Wang Jiu smiled: "Yes, it sounds very exciting, right?" ”

β€”β€”

For the next five days, the crowd had to march on foot through the mountains between Qingyun and Shencheng.

In the beginning, this kind of hiking trip was really interesting for a few young people, chatting about young people's topics while enjoying the scenery along the way, and then casually imagining possible experiences in Shencheng...... But from the second day, everyone started to get bored.

Not all mountain roads have scenery, and not all topics can be talked about all the time, especially Wang Jiu has extremely strict requirements for hiking, not only to maintain vigilance throughout the whole process, beware of enemies that are actually impossible at all, but also many trivial and strict requirements when camping make people lose all interest in hiking in an instant.

"Li Xinyu, you should always pay attention to maintaining your attention during the vigil, don't be overly focused or overly distracted, and the best way is to meditate in a specific way...... Shen Qingming, dinner is the essence of night rest, it can't be too luxurious because it will waste time and energy, but it can't be too perfunctory, like you are now! Rice is cooked into this sandwich virtue, and she is simply a young girl in the rice world. ”

Shen Qingming was very unconvinced: "Obviously there is a ready-made take-out package in the Drunken Immortal Building, why do you have to cook it myself!" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Drunken Immortal Mansion can't be open forever, and take-out packages can't be endless, you have to learn to cook in the wild anytime and anywhere, so that you can quickly replenish your nutrition and relieve stress during the tense war period." ”

Shen Qingming continued to disagree: "I don't have a hegemonic body, so there's no need to be so particular about food." ”

The next moment, Wang Jiu threw a piece of soil and pulled it over: "Eat it." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was wrong. ”

Wang Jiu said: "First, your current immovable hegemon body is far from the point where you can sit on the ground and absorb nutrients from the outside world. Second, for high-level monks, food is also an indispensable part of relieving mental stress, so cook your food well, don't always substitute yourself into the food, except for perverts, no one likes young girls' meals. ”

"You're enough!" Shen Qingming said angrily, "You promised us before that we wanted to make the journey interesting, so we handed you the shuttle ticket and let you arrange everything." As a result, we hiked more than 1,000 miles in the barren mountains and mountains, and you tell me what's interesting about this?! ”

Wang Jiu thought about it for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't know, but when the Nine Immortal Venerables asked me to arrange my itinerary before, even if my itinerary was ten million times stricter than what you experienced, in the end, they would still comment that my itinerary was very interesting. ”

"Because they are afraid of your force?"

Wang Jiu said: "I have never used force against my own people. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who killed tens of thousands of people? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Those tens of thousands of people are not my own people, although they are indeed human beings, but I have never judged the camp by the race of the other party, after all, racial discrimination is not a good thing." ”

"Do I still need to praise you for that?! In short, since you didn't threaten with force, what would you do if they told them that your trip was painful and boring? ”

Wang Jiu thought for a while: "Of course, we are trying to find ways to make the trip interesting to make up for the previous problems, such as adding a period of physical training before going to bed to improve everyone's sleep quality." Or arrange a few more night watchmen to relieve the mental pressure of a single night watchman, etc. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I understand. ”

Wang Jiu asked, "So, considering that you all found the previous five days of hiking very boring, I ......"

"No, no, no, Ah Jiu, you definitely misunderstood! We weren't bored at all, on the contrary, we couldn't wait to experience the rest of the story! The thousands of miles from Qingyun City to Shencheng seem too short under your arrangement, which makes people reluctant to give up......"

"That's right, that's right, let's take a detour, there's a place I think needs to take a detour."

"You did it on purpose, right!?"
