Ascension failed, the system took me away

Turned to fight for three thousand miles in one body, one sword was once a millionaire division.

Zuo Dao traveled alone on horseback for thousands of miles, moving east, west, south, and north in an irregular route.

Ever since he encountered the sniper attack from the Imperial Guards, he found that his whereabouts were completely exposed and he could not escape the pursuit no matter what.

He guessed that it might be someone from the Demon Suppression Division who took action.

This agency was in charge of handling supernatural matters, and the demon-suppressing guards serving there included warriors with high martial arts skills.

There are also some sorcerers who master strange arts and have the means to track their targets through mediums.

It is generally used to uncover evil spirits hiding in the dark, but can also be used to track people.

Of course, it is also possible that it was the work of the evil monk, the national teacher, or his minions.

Zuo Dao rushed all the way and encountered wave after wave of pursuers.

Most of these people were Jinyiwei, and there were also local soldiers and constables.

But they were no match for him, so they used the same trick again and quickly left behind some wounded soldiers.

During this period, some gangsters who accepted the bounty tried to take advantage of the situation.

But this mob is worse than the gilded straw men of the Imperial Guard.

If you kill one or two of them brutally, they will be scared and flee in panic.

The more difficult ones are the monsters and demons that we occasionally encounter.

These non-human creatures are not very intelligent, even lower than wild beasts, and some are abnormal.

Fortunately, their cultivation is insignificant and their magic power is weak, so they can only perform spells with great difficulty and can only scare ordinary people.

Facing the protection of the dynasty's national destiny, Zuo Dao couldn't get close at all and was reduced to ashes in an instant.

But their large numbers still caused some trouble by launching attacks in a suicidal manner.

By self-destructing, he used all his magic power to quickly ignite the forest, causing a large-scale wildfire and blocking Zuo Dao's route.

This slowed him down to a certain extent.

In the burning forest, flames filled the sky and the heat was scorching.

Zuo Dao used his true Qi to protect his body and silently practiced the tortoise breathing technique, entering a state of internal breath circulation to avoid being choked by the billowing smoke. He then chose a direction and rushed forward.

In this environment filled with burning trees and fireworks, he vaguely saw a figure running away in front of him.

He quickly caught up with him and saw that it was a herbalist carrying a bamboo basket on his back.

With his face covered with wet cloth, he ran forward in panic using his hands and feet.

In order to reduce the weight, the bamboo basket on the back was taken off and thrown on the ground.

The herbs inside were scattered all over the ground, and some precious and rare exotic flowers and herbs fell into the fire and burned.

It is a pity that the hard work of the herbalists was burned here.

However, no matter how precious external objects are, they are not as important as your own life.

In this urgent moment of escaping from the fire, any extra weight is a burden.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dao sighed inwardly.

The reason why he went to so much trouble to walk through these dangerous uninhabited areas.

In addition to covering up their tracks, they are also afraid of implicating innocent people.

However, there were still people who were implicated by him and fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Although he had a heavy responsibility under the emperor's order, Zuo Dao's character did not allow him to turn a blind eye to it.

Even though rescuing the herbalist was likely to lead to further complications, he still took the action to save him.

He flicked his finger and threw a stone, which instantly hit the herbalist in front of him. His body went limp and he was about to fall down.

Zuo Dao approached quickly, grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up.

At the same time, the true Qi was poured into the body of the person collecting herbs, and it was immediately determined that this was an ordinary person, without any signs of practicing martial arts or refining Qi.

He didn't carry anything unusual on him, so it wasn't a trap set by the enemy.

However, the cautious Zuo Dao still threw out a rope and tied up the unconscious herbalist.

Then he picked him up and ran quickly. After a long journey, he finally managed to leave the forest that had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Zuo Dao woke up the herbalist and left before he fully recovered his consciousness to continue his journey.

This scene was seen clearly by the two guardians hiding in the dark.

They didn't set the wildfire, but they did direct and drive the monsters and demons through some means.

Although these little demons and monsters have intelligence, they have low wisdom and are only slightly smarter than ordinary wild beasts. They are very useful cannon fodder.

Of course, the two guardians did not dare to directly control the cannon fodder to launch an attack, as doing so would most likely backfire on the country's fortunes.

Instead, he instructed the Demon Suppression Division to let the human sorcerers do it.

As expected, the little monster was unable to play much of a role and was instantly reduced to ashes by the backlash of the country's destiny.

So they changed their strategy. If direct attack didn't work, they would force the cannon fodder to self-destruct.

The flames transformed by magic power quickly ignited the forest, trying to trap Zuo Dao in this large sea of ​​fire.

But I didn't expect that this captain of the Jinyiwei had many skills and knew some martial arts that required holding the breath. The worldly atmosphere had no effect on him at all.

He even had enough energy to save a mortal who was collecting herbs.

However, this act of saving people also allowed the two guardians to discover Zuo Dao's weakness and come up with a new plan.

They discussed it for a bit and then went their separate ways, one continuing to follow the left path while the other flew off in another direction.

The culprit just walked away, but the wildfire is still burning.

The raging sea of ​​fire rolled up a scorching heat wave, and the fire had a tendency to spread outward, growing larger and larger.

If this continues, large tracts of forest will be burned to ashes, causing very serious consequences.

Extinguishing wildfires is a very difficult task even in modern countries.

In this backward era, it is impossible to extinguish it with the power of mortals.

However, although this world is set in ancient times, it does have extraordinary powers.

The herbalist rescued by Zuo Dao stood up, his eyes deep, no longer confused as before.

He looked at the burning forest with a solemn expression and whispered: "The fire of the world should be put into the stove to burn firewood, used as a lamp to illuminate, and returned to the furnace to refine gold."

Suddenly, the flames all over the mountains seemed to be commanded by the God of Fire, and they rolled towards the center of the forest like rivers flowing into the sea.

In a blink of an eye, the fire quickly shrank and eventually turned into an oil lamp, which fell into the hands of the herbalist.

The horrific wildfire was extinguished, and the trees that had been burned to black and gray had no heat left and became cold.

The herbalist put away the oil lamp in his hand, removed the cloth covering his face and revealed his true face, which was none other than Song Yingxing.

Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen stayed at the base, while he traveled around, collecting various folk skills and visiting the orthodox Taoist sects.

At the same time, I am also learning about the situations in various places and thinking about how to use the knowledge I have mastered to change the world.

On the way, he inadvertently noticed the movements of the Jinyiwei, and such a large-scale commotion aroused his curiosity.

So they followed them secretly and found out that they were chasing a captain of the Imperial Guard.

I thought it was another party struggle within the court, with one faction hunting down another.

However, the moment he saw Zuo Dao, Song Yingxing overturned his idea.

Because the captain who was being hunted gave him a very similar feeling to Yan Chixia, both of them were righteous.

He concluded that this was another good official who was persecuted by corrupt officials.

This can be seen from the fact that when Zuo Dao was being chased, he was able to lend a helping hand to the herbalist he was pretending to be in the sea of ​​fire.

This is a loyal and righteous man.

Song Yingxing came up with the idea of ​​recruiting him.
