Returning to Yue City, it was a city twice as big as Luochen.
Chen Yuan, wearing a straw hat and carrying a long sword at his waist, walked slowly on the prosperous streets full of pedestrians.
"This city is weird!"
Looking at the pedestrians around him, Chen Yuan secretly guessed that something big seemed to be happening in this crowded city. Everyone has a serious expression, as if anyone coming towards them is their enemy.
The most important thing is that there are almost no ordinary mortals on the streets. They are either knights with swords on their waists or monks like Chen Yuan.
No matter how you think about it, it is not normal for martial arts knights and monks to flock to a city at the same time.
Chen Yuan found a teahouse, ordered tea, and after ordering his meal, he listened quietly to the discussions of the people around him.
If you want to know a place, a place with a complex staff like teahouses and taverns is the most suitable place and the easiest place to hear accurate news.
"The Snowland Escort Bureau is recruiting bodyguards, whether they are monks in heaven or on earth, or knights like you and me. The only condition is that you are willing to give a certain amount of money. I want to give it a try and walk on the edge of the knife every day. It's better to join such a good force and make a living."
Two tables apart, two middle-aged men in simple clothes and carrying broadswords whispered.
"I don't want to go. What kind of force is the Snowland Escort? They are an escort for the dynasty. Most people who join them are just cannon fodder. I heard that the Ninth Prince came to Huiyue City and asked the Snowland Escort to escort a valuable treasure. Imperial City. You also know the current situation of our Qi Dynasty. If you can't stand in line, you will die. I don't want to be an unknown ghost."
Another fat, slightly silly-looking middle-aged man was drinking and shaking his head, seemingly not interested in joining the Snowland Escort Agency.
"What are you afraid of? This time the Ninth Prince spent a lot of money to invite gods who know magic from the outside world. As long as they are here, we will just be pawns escorting the car. Just let those gods do the killing. ”
"Besides, the Ninth Prince has spoken. Once the escort is successful, no matter who it is, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. You and I have been wandering in the world for several years and have not saved any property. After getting the silver, we will return. Go to your hometown, find a beautiful and virtuous wife, and then give birth to a fat boy, wouldn't it be a happy life for the rest of your life?"
After hearing this, Chen Yuan finally understood why so many knights and low-level monks appeared in Huiyue City. They all came for the reward of the Ninth Prince.
Chen Yuan has no interest in joining the Snowland Escort Bureau. His only purpose now is to rush to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, then join the Qinglan Sect and become a monk of the sect honestly.
If Chen Yuan wanted to join the Qinglan Sect just to practice honestly, the Luoxia Sect in the Northern Territory could also meet his conditions. Why did he have to travel thousands of miles to Zhongzhou?
In fact, in the final analysis, it was the emotions in his heart that were causing trouble. In his heart, Xuanyun of the Qinglan Sect was already his master, and he was really unwilling to accept anyone else.
There is also the most important reason. "A Brief Introduction to Monks" says that if you want to achieve greatness, you can only understand the true meaning by entering the mortal world and experiencing the sweet and sour world.
If Chen Yuan wants to be a monk with great immortality, he will naturally have to walk around in the mortal world.
Besides, Chen Yuan believed in fate. Since Xuanyun changed his destiny because of a purple flame flower, then there was a causal connection between him and Xuanyun.
After listening to the two knights muttering a few more words, Chen Yuan stood up and left the teahouse. The grievances between the dynasty and the dynasty are the most difficult household matters. Chen Yuan is unwilling to participate, let alone take the initiative to participate. After flying with the sword for more than a month, he still feels tired at the fourth level of Qi refining and needs to find a quiet place. Place to take a rest.
Without promotion and foundation building, there is no true separation from the mortal body, which is why there are monks participating in dynasty battles.
In the overcrowded Huiyue Inn, Chen Yuan asked for a quieter room in the backyard. He planned to rest here for three days before hitting the road again.
"Listen up, everyone, I mean everyone, no matter you are the overlord of the rivers and lakes who dominates a party, or a monk flying with a sword, go out and leave the inn. The Ninth Prince is going to meet an important guest at the inn, anyone Everyone needs to avoid it.”
The waiter was about to lead Chen Yuan to the guest room when a dozen soldiers wearing armor suddenly walked into the inn hall. One of them, a nine-foot-tall soldier with a fat and round waist, shouted repeatedly and pushed the people in the inn outward. expel.
Being unfamiliar with the place, Chen Yuan didn't want to be the one who caused trouble, so he walked out of the inn very obediently.
Just when Chen Yuan walked to the door, a short man wearing a scarf and ragged clothes suddenly broke into the inn and shouted from time to time:
"It's killing people. Gods are killing mortals! Everyone, run away!"
The rash man, whether intentionally or not, bumped into the arms of the nine-foot soldier, and knocked the nine-foot soldier around, rolling all over the ground, and finally rolled to Chen Yuan's feet.
"Where did you come from, this bastard? How dare you offend General Wu? Get up and get out of here!"
Another soldier with a relatively thin body kicked the rash man in the abdomen, causing the rash man to roll over and over. He covered his stomach with both hands and said unwillingly:
"As a general of the imperial dynasty, if you punch and kick your own subjects, aren't you afraid that the Ninth Prince will arrest you and hold you accountable?"
The reckless man seemed not to be afraid of the soldiers and generals in front of him. After getting up, he hid behind Chen Yuan.
"Ninth Prince? Is the Ninth Prince something you can see? Bastard boy, let's see if this general doesn't kick you into eight pieces."
After the thin soldier was humiliated, his anger surged. He drew the sword from his waist and was about to slash at the rash person.
"Killing! Killing! Imperial soldiers killed!"
The rash man grabbed Chen Yuan's clothes and dodged again and again, easily dodging the three slashes of the thin soldier.
"Boy, if you have any sense, get out of here. I have to kill this nonsense bastard today."
The thin monk said this to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan had just returned to Yuecheng, and naturally he didn't want to cause trouble. He gently exerted force on his body, trying to get rid of the rash person, but the person's hands seemed to be stuck to his clothes. No matter how hard he tried, the other person could not hold on tightly. put.
"Boy, I told you to get out of here, otherwise I won't be polite."
The thin soldier glared at Chen Yuan angrily, with a pair of vicious eyes that seemed to want to eat Chen Yuan. At this time, Chen Yuan's mind also echoed the words of a reckless person:
"Fellow Taoist, please help me resist. I will thank you greatly afterwards!"
Sound transmission is a unique ability of monks. Before setting off from Maple Leaf City, Chen Yuan learned the art of sword control from the Nine Taoists, and also learned some survival skills among monks. This sound transmission technique is one of them.
Leaving Maple Leaf City is truly leaving home. Without mastering some survival skills, it will be difficult to survive in a chaotic world.
The small Luochen County has given birth to evil sects such as the Tianmo Sect, not to mention the vast and boundless outside world.
"Since you are a monk, why should you be afraid of the officials and soldiers who are mortals? And why should I help you?" Chen Yuan sent a message and tried to get rid of him with force again.
"The things here are too complicated. I can't tell you the truth. However, if you do a small favor, you will definitely get something in return. It will probably be a low-grade magic weapon."
Chen Yuan was not allowed to continue questioning and retorting. The rash man pretended to be frightened and shouted "killer" and rushed out of the inn.
At this time, Chen Yuan was surrounded by soldiers. The fat soldier with a round waist said angrily:
"You, come with us. If you dare to disturb the Ninth Prince's guests, do you know what crime you have committed?"
With Chen Yuan's current strength, if he wanted to kill a dozen soldiers in front of him, he could do it with just a few fireballs, but he did not do so. There are three main reasons:
First, it is always bad to use magic in the mortal world. Although the overall strength of low-level monks is not much different from that of mortal martial arts experts, such as Zhou Changlong, who can kill monks on the first and second levels of Qi Refining, monks are still monks after all, and they are still restricted by the cycle of cause and effect.
Second, the reckless person obviously did not act recklessly, but did it deliberately. Chen Yuan believed that he would appear again, and it would not be long.
The third reason, and the most important one, is that if Chen Yuan wants to reach Zhongzhou, he needs to go all the way south. The distance is so far that it will take more than a year and a half to reach it, and the difficulty in front of him is a mountain range that runs through the Daqi Dynasty.
The Daqi Dynasty was not the largest of the three surrounding dynasties, but due to its geographical location, the environment was the worst. From south to north there were rivers, plains, deserts, mountains, rivers and ice fields.
Chen Yuan had to cross mountains, rivers and deserts if he wanted to reach Zhongzhou smoothly.
With Chen Yuan's current strength, even if he flies with a sword, it may take several years to reach the edge of the Northern Territory. The most important thing is that there are many ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains and rivers, as well as evil cultivating demon sects like the Heavenly Demon Sect. It is difficult for one person to succeed.
From Huiyue City to the Imperial Capital of Daqi, you have to cross mountains and rivers. Joining the Snowy Escort Bureau and seeking help is the best choice.
But Chen Yuan doesn't want to work for the dynasty, let alone be a thug who takes orders.
At this time, the reckless man with another purpose appeared, and he took advantage of the situation to give himself a way to reach the imperial capital smoothly.
Of course, Chen Yuan didn't know the purpose of the rash man at this time.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he knows. Chen Yuan's purpose is pure and accurate. He just wants to pass through the mountains and rivers in front of him smoothly.
Whether they are mortal soldiers or martial arts swordsmen, most of the time they are unwilling to deal with monks, let alone offend monks. After all, even the lowest monks have abilities that are not comparable to ordinary mortals.
Only at this time, with the support of the Ninth Prince, the mortal soldiers dared to shout in front of a low-level monk like Chen Yuan.
Guarded by more than a dozen mortal soldiers along the way, Chen Yuan was taken to a manor in Huiyue City. The name of the manor was: Huiyue Garden.
"Your Majesty the Ninth Highness, people have brought it."
Entering the manor, walking around the corridor, and in a pavilion by the stream, Chen Yuan met the rumored Ninth Prince.
But the fat soldier's words made Chen Yuan realize that he had been targeted by the person in front of him at some point.
