Far to the southeast of Buqiu Temple, there is such a small town. It is said that the most jobs in the city are not like the ordinary small towns in Dayuan, which rely on hunting, fishing, and woodcutting for a living, nor are there any skilled herders. There is only this one business, which is the most prosperous, and with this kind of craftsmanship , the city is still very wealthy. Compared with the other small towns and villages located outside the Dayuan tribe and not under the jurisdiction of the tribe, the wealth here is quite unusual.
The people in the city make a living from this door, and the business is almost as good as it is. For a long time, this city has expanded several times outside the city, but it has been vaguely stabilizing the rest of the scattered isolated cities.
The small town is located in the midst of several steep mountains with a height of ten thousand feet. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains. The mountains are so high that they are like cliffs everywhere, almost hanging from the ground. Old apes are worried about climbing. There are cracks in the rocks that are pine trees from far away. Floating here, the trees are luxuriant, and the small town is hidden among the mountains, rocks, and grass. If it weren’t for the people on the spiritual path looking far away, it might never have communicated with the outside world for a long time. Most of the people who come and go are very famous and powerful, and even The dignitaries in the Yuan Dynasty or those who are very powerful in the tribe, and even people from Zhongzhou, often come here to see the hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but no one who comes to this city will have any disputes.
Therefore, women, children, old and young in the city are all used to seeing high-ranking officials or prominent nobles, and they are a little tired. Even though people in the city are coming and going as usual, even children of several years old are unwilling to look up. At a glance, everything such as the silk umbrella covered Yonghua clothes seems strange.
Therefore, when an ordinary Jianghu man in white stepped into the city, it would naturally not cause any commotion in the city. He took some scattered money and stayed in an inn not far from the gate of the small city. In the next few days, he often walked in the streets and alleys. I wandered around and walked around, but I always felt that this small town was unusual. It did not necessarily have good feng shui to hide the wind. However, the city was indeed extremely wealthy. Almost every household had to raise horses, even in Dayuan. This is an unusual thing, and the appearance of the horses is very particular. Except for the nomadic families in the Yuan Dynasty, those who live in the city rarely have horses. For one thing, even the horses in the Yuan Dynasty are precious treasures. , it is an accidental illness, and daily feeding is indispensable for good horses. In this case, if you are not a wealthy family, how can you have the leisure money to raise horses.
This summer was fading, and Yun Zhong spent nearly two months, stopping and walking, before finally arriving in this small town very close to Buqiu Temple. Although nothing happened on the way, it was at least the first time since he was enveloped by the red dragon. After escaping from birth, after walking out of the imaginary realm of Fengdu City, I felt that my body was unable to move freely and was extremely jerky. It was extremely difficult to even lift up a step, hold a sword and eat, just like a child just learning to walk. It has been difficult to recover, and his swordsmanship is almost completely damaged. It is difficult to draw the sword smoothly and without hesitation.
Ma Huaijiu was thinking about his soul, and as expected, he died in Fengdu City, which was built with great supernatural powers. Everyone in the caravan entered Fengdu City. Naturally, some souls also died in famine and disaster, and in the chaos of war, only the physical body was left. , the thoughts were empty. Although there seemed to be no injuries, in fact, he had fallen down like a hollow dead tree and died. Only nearly half of the remaining caravan members, together with Liu Dan, who was an ordinary servant in Fengdu City, transformed into an old man. The young doctor, the old doctor who transformed into a sick man, and Lu Zicheng, who was originally the second leader of the caravan, when Fengdu City disappeared into smoke, it seemed that they were living in another room in the underworld, as if they were different from this life.
Yun Zhong, who was not supposed to be a life-long friend, had a drink with the second leader of the caravan. He remembered that when he took Liu Dan up the mountain to block the road, the second leader had almost drawn his sword, but he didn't want to think that after the incident in Fengdu City, he would The swordsman, who had seemed very dull at first, but now had a good temper, drank heavily all night, chatted and drank like brothers.
In the past, the young doctor who knew nothing about human affairs except for medical skills has become much calmer since the collapse of Fengdu City. In the view of the old doctor, this may be an opportunity for enlightenment. In addition to medical skills, people live in the world, of course. There are things that are more important than medical skills. Virtue in the city and conduct in life seem to be the considerations of whether to be called a saint. They are always indispensable.
Regardless of this incident, it is not easy to find a clear idea on your own. Fortunately, everything is always difficult at the beginning. After such a step, it is possible to even stand on your own in the future.
Those who should live have not lived, but those who should die have survived. It is always a bit outrageous for a man to cry, but everything must still go according to plan. The world will definitely not disappear because of one person's death, nor will it last forever because of one person's existence.
This was the second head of the family who was repeatedly drunk by Yun Zhong until he was so drunk that his stomach rolled. He lay down drunk and had his last words with Yun Zhong. He was obviously a reckless person, but Yun Zhong and his wife were all confused. Liu Dan, who was stealing wine and greedy, fell silent for a while. After thinking for a long time, he felt that if the person who said this was a saint with a high position and a famous reputation, he might be regarded as a good word and be praised by dozens of people. EMI generations are totally out of the question.
It wasn't until the night before Yun Zhong set off to the north that the old doctor told Yun Zhong what he meant. He said that he knew from others that the border areas of Luzhou had been very uneasy recently. It was not just the scholar who returned home sick, who often made some The insidious tactics shook the morale of the army, but because the Luzhou border area may be blocked by barriers, it has been raining for days, and it is actually a bit hotter and humid than areas like Nanli, which have lots of rain all year round. Everyone in the Yuan Dynasty It is difficult to get used to such weather conditions, not to mention that since the Wang Tingjun firmly occupied the fortress, the tribes led by the two green-faced ghosts and Rakshasa ghosts from the north often came out of the fortress to attack and fight, but they happened to be frustrated several times. When the corpses of the dead soldiers and horses were gathered, a miasma followed, and it soon spread to the entire fortress. By the time the news was known, dozens of people had died. I am afraid that if it is not controlled, sooner or later, it will The entire Luzhou royal court's troops and horses were exhausted and no longer had the power to guard the pass.
Therefore, this time, the doctors of Bailou Prefecture, relying on the old man Hu Sihai, took the lead in exploring the road with excellent medical skills. Unfortunately, there were no soldiers and horses to protect them. It happened that King Ma Long took over the job. He did not take much money, but only wanted to pay homage. , they gathered the remaining men from the caravan and took a long trip to the Luzhou border barrier. However, they met an enemy on the way and died for no reason.
In the end, Yun Zhong was still on the road alone. Even though Liu Dan was almost rubbing his head, he complained for a few days, and his complaints came at his request. If those officials are really hard-hearted, how can they win the hearts of the people? We went on the road to escort him alone. What if it happened again? I'm afraid it would be really difficult to deal with a capable person like a mountain boy who has no hands or feet. Moreover, he is always attentive, running in front and back for Yun Zhongan, and serving that ragtag beast very naturally. Now I don’t know why, when facing Yun Zhong, who had his thoughts taken away by the red dragon, he behaved very well and knew the importance of advancement and retreat, and worked hard without complaint. Now that Yun Zhong escaped from Fengdu City, he changed again. Ignore the appearance for love.
But no matter how hard Liu Dan tried, Yun Zhong knew that it was probably the money sent from Wei Xiwu in his waist in the picture that made him pose like this, so he was not at all angry and sent Liu Dan rushed to the caravan, safely escorted these Bailouzhou doctors, and then went north to find Buqiu Temple. Since he was not a master of the fifth realm, he naturally couldn't go so fast.
It wasn't until Yun Zhong slowly headed north, settling down in a small town, and continuing to practice his sword and adapt to his body that he slowly began to make sense of what he saw and heard on the way.
It's almost autumn, and although the small town is surrounded by mountains and cliffs, it's not too hot. The wind blows from high in the sky, which is not like it is in midsummer, but it's a little refreshing.
The sound of forging iron has always been heard in the small town. Among the nearly a thousand households, almost most are craftsmen with advanced craftsmanship. Just by working with a sickle and a hoe, a household can knock dozens of hammers in almost a day, and the strongest ones are, I don’t know. Because the iron and stone around the city are far superior to other places, or because of the high level of skills, people from the Yuan Dynasty came and handed over quite generous amounts of money, asking for iron clothes, armor, weapons and spears, and they often cost nearly a thousand people. Vice, it is not unusual for the city to be rich.
Every night, in the small town surrounded by mountains, men often go out to play with their young sons. What they often do is to splash the copper and iron juice from the fire everywhere. This can be seen almost all over the city. It's like a fiery tree, golden and red, splashing and exploding into pieces. Although it looks thrilling, it doesn't have a special taste.
When Yun Zhong goes out of the city at dusk, he always climbs a cliff with a height of tens of feet. He sits on a naturally raised flat place between the cliffs. With his pillow on his hands, he looks towards the small town, where gold and red are splashing. Even better than the lights, I took advantage of the beautiful scenery to think about something.
Although Shantong had an old grudge with Ma Huaijiu, why did he choose this time to take action? And remembering it this way, it seems that an axe-carrying man of equally high level also came hand in hand with Shantong, but he never took action from the beginning to the end. , but fled far away as soon as Fengdu City collapsed. As for the remaining body of the mountain boy, together with the boy, they were cut into hundreds of pieces by the caravan members who learned about it, and were thrown into the mountains.
Based on Shantong's realm, if he wanted to take action, it would probably not be at this time. There were countless good opportunities earlier, so why bother to stop the doctor.
If we think about many things slowly and carefully, there will always be a moment when the things we think about will make people extremely frightened and chilled.
The mountain boy might have been kidnapped by others, so he killed Ma Huaijiu at such a time. If Fengdu City had not been destroyed, and there had not been any masters in charge, I would imagine that the dozens of surviving members of the caravan, together with The doctor, the man with the ax on his back could probably kill all of them without even having a cup of tea, thus preventing the other doctors from entering Luzhou, let alone solving the urgent need of the border troops in Luzhou's barrier.
Only the historians did not dare to predict the wars in the world, or did not understand their appearance. Almost everyone wanted to do things that others could not do, and did things that others could not handle. First, the royal court severely damaged the soldiers and horses of Xu Meng's mansion, and then Xu The Meng Mansion should not be underestimated. After the scholar took over the power of the army, he often made strange plans and was really hard to guard against.
The young swordsman sitting on the edge of the cliff wanted to write a letter, but he hesitated for a moment and couldn't put the pen to paper, but then he made up his mind and went down the mountain.
The fire trees and silver flowers that are several feet high are like red and yellow splashes. The swordsman has no sword at his waist, which is a rare relief.
