On the way to Qiantang County, there were two people walking on the road, an adult and a child.
The adult was dressed in a smart suit, with a knife hanging on his waist, dressed like a warrior. The other child, about seven or eight years old, was wearing a Confucian robe. It was obvious that this Confucian robe had been modified. Yes, otherwise how could the child wear it?
These two people are Zhang Chu and Zhang Ran.
Zhang Chu wanted to send Zhang Ran to Qiantang County personally. Zhang Ran was too young to go by himself. Both Zhang Shun and Jimei were worried. Although Zhang Chu was not worried, after all, Zhang Ran was much stronger than him, but Zhang Ran is just a child now, and his mind is not yet mature. It is not good to go alone.
Zhang Chu also found a place for Zhang Ran to stay temporarily. The recommendation letter Zhang Chu gave was for studying martial arts, not for living.
When Zhang Ran set out for Qiantang County, Jimei gave it to him in tears. Zhang Ran had to go to the county town to study alone at a young age. It was not easy. Other children at Zhang Ran's age were still with other children. Playing.
Zhang Shun also asked Jimei to make two Confucian robes. It doesn't matter if a scholar doesn't wear Confucian robes. In fact, Zhang Ran wanted to wear fancy clothes, but under Zhang Shun's pressure, he had to wear Confucian robes. What a shame. Children have no human rights.
Not to mention that Zhang Ran really has a scholarly temperament when he puts on a Confucian robe, giving people a polite and polite atmosphere.
"Why do you have to walk? It's better to take a donkey cart." Zhang Ran complained.
"You are now a warrior at the bone refining level. This journey is of no use to you. The reason why you feel tired is because you are living too comfortably at home. Walking more is good for you." Zhang Chu said in an approachable manner. : "There is a saying that says that one has great knowledge after traveling a thousand miles."
"A journey of a thousand miles is better than ten years of study." Zhang Ran corrected Zhang Chu's wrong words and said.
"That's right." Zhang Chu is just a martial artist. As for writing, he has never read much except knowing some words.
"But it's too far from Hulucun to Qiantang County. How long will it take?" Zhang Ran said.
"It's not far. If we walk a little further, we will reach Dongwang Village. When we get to Dongwang Village, let's take a rest and start again." Zhang Chu said.
"Why don't we use footwork to move faster?" Zhang Ran said.
"Have you learned the spear footwork?" Zhang Chu said.
"Not yet, but I've figured out some of the tricks inside, and I can do it faster." Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran planned to sprint, but it was too slow to walk like this. However, Zhang Ran couldn't say it directly. He didn't want to expose his Warcraft skills, so he could only use the spear footwork as an excuse.
"Then use your footwork and let me see." Zhang Chu said.
Zhang Ran used sprint and ran forward quickly, like a handsome white horse, galloping forward.
Seeing Zhang Ran running further and further away, Zhang Chu also used the spear fighting method and rushed forward like a charge. However, Zhang Chu tried his best and could barely keep up with Zhang Ran.
Although Zhang Ran did not learn the war spear footwork, the footwork he learned through the war spear footwork was faster than him. Maybe it was wrong to guess that Zhang Ran had no footwork talent.
In this way, in less than half an hour, the two of them arrived at Dongwang Village.
Dongwang Village is located to the east of Hulucun Village. Because it is on the main road to Qiantang County, it is very prosperous and is the richest among all the villages. It was also the only village in Qiantang County that was not destroyed when Hutou Mountain existed. Harassed villages.
Hutou Mountain is a hazard to Qiantang County. Since Zhang Ran eliminated Hutou Mountain, the villages below Qiantang County have become much more stable.
And Dongwang Village is even more prosperous. Not only is the sun about to set, but there are also noisy and lively sounds coming from Dongwang.
At the gate of Dongwang Village, there were three groups of people waiting to enter one after another. The first group was a caravan and had passed the inspection of Dongwang Village Guards. Seven carriages were slowly entering Dongwang. village.
The second group of people was a man, a thin man, wearing gray clothes, with a bamboo hat on his head. The bamboo hat was pressed very low, so he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
The third group was a carriage, with six guards following the carriage. Each of the five guards held a knife. The leading guard was a bearded man with a long-handled sword on his back. The long handle was bronze in color. , the blade is silver, exuding a cold light.
Zhang Ran shrugged his nose and said, "It smells so good. The fragrance is coming from the carriage. There are either flowers or women in the carriage."
Zhang Chu said: "Why do you guess there are women in it?" In Hulucun Village, except for Wang Dafu's wives, no women would use rouge and gouache, and Wang Dafu's wives stayed in the backyard and could not be seen by ordinary people.
"Isn't that what Wang Dafu's aunts smell like? They all smell like this." Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran had actually seen it. Zhang Chu stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he looked at the guards and said, "Judging from the pace of their walking, these guards all have martial arts skills. Some of them are stronger than me, let alone Talk about that big beard, so don’t talk about this carriage, this carriage is not simple, it may belong to a big shot in Qiantang County.”
While the two were talking, a loud shout suddenly came: "Zhao Yunfeng, you die."
At this moment, a sword light came from a distance and rushed straight towards the emaciated man.
"Who is it?" The thin man pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and a sword light collided with the oncoming sword light.
With a crash, the thin man stepped back two steps, and the bamboo hat fell to the ground, revealing the face of the thin man. It was a delicate face, not old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but with a tinge on his face. With ruthless indifference.
The man who was coming was retreating a bit because he was in the air. He took five or six steps back, and his face showed that he was in his twenties, with a look of hatred on his face, just like Zhao Yunfeng once did. Did you do anything memorable to him?
"It's me, Qiu Shan. You crippled my brother's legs. Today I'm here to take revenge on you." Qiu Shan said.
"Oh, I disabled someone's legs, but this person molested women from good families, but I remember that the person who destroyed his legs was named Wei. Why is your surname Qiu? Are you brothers?" Zhao Yunfeng said coldly. He said, but there was a kind of indifference like a cold joke.
"As long as I kill you, I will change into a guard." Qiu Shan said.
"It can't be because of your brother. You even changed your surname." Zhao Yunfeng still had a cold joke-like expression.
Qiu Shan was about to explode with anger and said angrily: "Die!" He picked up the sword in his hand and killed Zhao Yunfeng.
Zhao Yunfeng raised the soft sword in his hand, like a flexible poisonous snake, and started fighting with Zhao Yunfeng. Qiu Shan's sword was straight and powerful, while Zhao Yunfeng's sword was curved and coiled, very flexible.
"Can you tell what level of warriors they are?" Zhang Chu said.
In fact, Zhang Chu couldn't tell. His martial arts strength was too low and his vision was not that good. The reason why he could see Zhang Ran's level was because Zhang Ran had demonstrated it to him before.
"Both of them are warriors at the level of bone refining." After learning a lot of martial arts knowledge from Zhang Chu, Zhang Ran can now recognize warriors at a lower level than him. Of course, because Zhang Ran has never practiced martial arts, You must have never practiced concealment martial arts, this is what Zhang Chu said to Zhang Ran.
In fact, after knowing that Zhang Ran was stronger than him, Zhang Chu didn't say anything except some martial arts knowledge. After all, his strength was lower than Zhang Ran, and he taught Zhang Ran martial arts. It was really ridiculous.
"The sword opens the lotus." Zhao Yunfeng shouted loudly.
The soft sword in his hand seemed to be a blooming white lotus, and it was killing Qiu Shan with a strong murderous intent.
When it hit Qiu Shan's long sword, the long sword shattered and hit his chest. Qiu Shan vomited blood and flew backwards, falling to the ground. Then Qiu Shan rolled over and ran away into the distance. While running away, he shouted: " I will come to you again for revenge."
Zhao Yunfeng did not pursue him and watched Qiu Shan leave. He knew that Qiu Shan was in the same realm as him and it would be very difficult for him to kill Qiu Shan, so he stopped chasing him. He would wait until the next time Qiu Shan came to take revenge. His martial arts realm must have improved, and he would kill Qiu Shan again.
Zhao Yunfeng looked toward the entrance of the village and saw that the caravan had passed by. Zhao Yunfeng picked up the bamboo hat on the ground, then came to the entrance of the village, handed over a copper plate, and entered Dongwang Village.
In this era of warriors, it's nothing if there are warriors fighting, as long as you don't kill anyone in broad daylight. If you kill someone, you will be investigated by the Yamen. If you kill a villain, it's nothing, but if you kill it just because of grudges, it will be serious. Zhao Yunfeng did not kill Qiu Shan, so he entered the village with peace of mind.
Then the carriage brought the guards into the village. The guards guarding Dongwang Village didn't even say anything and let them go without any inspection. They didn't even say that every person who entered the village had to pay a copper plate.
After the carriage entered, it was Zhang Ran and Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu handed over two copper coins and entered Dongwang Village.
"Let's find an inn to stay and rest for three days before setting off." Zhang Chu said.
"Why does it take three days to set off? We don't want to get to Qiantang County quickly." Zhang Ran said.
"I found out when I entered Dongwang Village that tomorrow is the poor festival in Dongwang Village." Zhang Chu said.
"Poverty Festival? What kind of festival is this? We don't seem to have such a festival in Hulu Village." Zhang Ran said.
"The Festival of Sending the Poor is a unique festival of Dongwang Village. Only Dongwang Festival has it. Legend has it that a poor god appeared in Dongwang Village in ancient times and brought great disaster to Dongwang Village. Therefore, whenever the poor god appears on this day, , is designated as a festival for the poor. On this day, people have to wear rags and eat porridge. On the night of three days, the poor god leaves. On this day, people have to cook porridge, throw away rags, tie willows into carts, tie grass into boats, and tie willows. To make a cart, you find a horse and pull the cart made of willows and run away; to tie the grass to make a boat, put it on the water and float away, wishing the poor god never to come back." Zhang Chu said.
