In mid-September of the 11th year of the Celestial Calendar, Ye Xing left the prairie where he had lived for 7 years. The goal of this trip was to travel to Great Yuan first.
With Ye Xing's current Qing Gong cultivation, it can be said that it is definitely not possible to travel a thousand miles in a day, but it can be done for hundreds of miles. After he changed his disguise, he flew across the prairie with Qing Gong, and his speed was definitely faster than that of a galloping horse.
In recent years, I have had many contacts with herdsmen, but I don’t know much about Dayuan’s language, and its characters are also quite weird. In Ye Xing’s opinion, they are just a series of random graffiti, and I still can’t understand all of its characters. But I can somewhat understand his daily speech.
In order to travel around the world, he had already studied the writing and conversation of the Tang Dynasty, and he was quite fluent in it. The influence of the Tang Dynasty was huge, and it was the country with the most prosperous culture and national power known to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing has a very strong memory, and the characters of the Tang Dynasty are generally related to the characters of the Song Dynasty. It should be said that they are all characters originated from the Shang Empire, but there are major changes in the strokes, and they are not as complicated as the characters of the Song Dynasty. It should be said that It's much simpler, but the pronunciation is quite different, and some expressions are also very different.
Ye Xing's first goal on this trip was Shanglin City, where the imperial court of the Yuan Empire was located. Shanglin City was tens of thousands of miles away.
Because last time, the Tianxing Army wiped out 50,000 Dayuan cavalry in a devastating manner. Now Dayuan is extremely hostile to the people of the Tianxing Kingdom. It is said that various forces in the country have been inciting the Dayuan Empire to invade the south again.
It’s just that the core power of the Great Yuan Empire is in the far west. The tribes in the Northeast Prairie can no longer harass the Tianxing Kingdom. It seems impossible now that the Great Yuan Clan’s army in the far west is sent to the Northeast Grassland. Not to mention a large army, it would take several months for just one messenger to send orders to the northeastern prairie.
Moreover, if Dayuan wanted to attack Tianxing Kingdom, the cavalry would have to go from the northern part of Mobei along the edge of the Arctic ice sheet to the northeastern prairie. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cross the desert from Mobei. Alternatively, the Yuan Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty could jointly send troops from the four northern counties bordering the Tang Dynasty and the Tianxing Kingdom. Otherwise, there would be nothing they could do.
The Tianxing Kingdom is extremely defensive against the two great empires of the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, and its intelligence work will never be lax. As the power behind the Tianxing Kingdom, the Xuan Yue Sect has also done a lot of research on the internal sects of this big country.
Before Ye Xing set out, Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang had already given Ye Xing a detailed analysis report on the internal forces of the two countries.
Ye Xing just took a cursory look and understood the situation. He still had to go deep inside to understand the real situation and find more training resources. Without resources, hard training would not have any effect.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles, Ye Xing went to Shanglin City in Dayuan. The path he traveled was from Moxi County in the four northern counties, into the Tang Dynasty, and then to Shanglin City in Dayuan.
First, he spent ten days using a high-altitude balloon to reach the border between Moxi County and Datang. Along the way, when there was no one around, Ye Xing used his super light skill and walked with others.
Ye Xing left the Tianxing Kingdom from the mountains and sneaked into the Tang Dynasty. He dressed up as a businessman from the Tang Dynasty. People from the Tang Dynasty were of the same race as those from the Tianxing Kingdom. Their appearance was not much different. Their clothing was different from that of the Tianxing Kingdom. They wore very long brown robes. , there is also a hair crown on the head;
Generally speaking, in the Tang Dynasty, people with different statuses and professions had different styles of clothing, which represented status.
Nowadays in Tianxing Kingdom, short hair is the most popular, and the style of clothing is a variant of the tight-fitting combat uniform popularly designed by Ye Xing. It has many bags all over the body and separate suits for the upper and lower garments. It is said that women especially like it. In the past, the long robes were only Only the old people wore it.
Men and women are equal in Tianxing Kingdom. Women wear tight clothes and wear belts to gird their waists. Not only do they look heroic, but they also extremely attract men's attention. The temptation of uniforms is extremely obvious in this aspect, so both men and women like the style of combat uniforms. .
Ye Xing did not go to the Tang Dynasty, but after entering the Tang Dynasty, he immediately turned to the direction of the Yuan Dynasty. The capital of the Yuan Dynasty, Shanglin City, was extremely far away, and it took him tens of thousands of miles to get there. Ye Xing kept coming in the middle of the night. Using high-altitude balloons and light skiing skills, they soon arrived at the central prairie of the Great Yuan Empire.
According to reports, Shanglin City is located on a grassland among the mountains. The main buildings are also fixed. Compared with Song City in Tianxing Kingdom, it is much inferior. This is still the residence of the upper class nomads, but it is more general. People still keep accounts.
The Dayuan Empire has very few people, maybe tens of millions of people, certainly not 100 million, but its territory is extremely vast and produces all kinds of extremely rare ores. Spiritual stones are its main minerals. In addition to powerful cavalry, , which is why Ye Xing came to Shanglin City in the first place because of its large number of spirit stones.
Ye Xing wants to go to Shanglin City first because "Nighthawk" has sent a key message, that is, a monks' items trade fair will be held in Shanglin City, and it only happens once every five years. This is an important trade fair that all monks will attend.
The Monk Item Trade Fair in Shanglin City of the Great Yuan Dynasty will last for a month and is very grand. Many monks from all over the world will participate. In the past, Ye Xing practiced alone and had never known such a trade fair.
There were still fifteen days left, and Ye Xing was halfway there, mingling with the casual cultivators of the Tang Dynasty. They went to Shanglin City together, got a good horse, and wanted to get to Shanglin City before the trade fair opened. .
Ye Xing had reduced his cultivation to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He was just a casual cultivator of the Tang Dynasty with a relatively low cultivation level. He had several large packages on his body, all of which were placed on the horseback.
Among the more than ten people traveling with us, two were already monks at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the rest were all at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. There were also other small groups of monks on the road from time to time, all going to participate in the Qi Refining Stage. Lincheng trade fair.
The reason why we travel together is not because there are dangers on the grassland, but the real danger is the fight between monks. If you walk in a small group, you will not be robbed and killed, and there is no difference in cultivation between them. It's too big, so you don't have to worry too much about your companions' bad intentions.
You must know that for the sake of cultivation resources, the fight between monks is even more inhumane and merciless. There is no sanction of any worldly law at all, which makes it even more ruthless and terrifying.
Ye Xing joined this team as casual cultivators, none of them were in the foundation establishment, and they didn't know each other. This made each other feel relieved. Even those two people who were at the top of the ninth level of Qi Refining couldn't be said to be sure to defeat Qi Refining. Eighth-level monks, there are too many factors that affect the monk's combat power.
Ye Xing's cultivation level is at the peak of the eighth level of the Qi refining stage, but he has a long sword in his hand, has excellent light skills, and his swordsmanship is even more refined and holy. Against someone who is at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi refining stage, It can be said that he will not be at a disadvantage at all, and besides, he also has spells and magic weapons, which may be able to counterattack the monks on the higher level.
Through exchanges, I also learned a lot of knowledge about cultivation, all of which were common sense issues that Ye Xing didn't know about. Ye Xing truly believed that reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Many common senses are not recorded at all just because they are common sense. In the book.
Up to now, Ye Xing only has a few books on cultivation techniques, which only record the techniques. There is no common sense, and he has never communicated with others, so he is actually a young brother with little knowledge.
In Tianxing Kingdom, there are very few cultivators. There are only a small number of cultivators in the inner sects of the nine major sects. Cultivators are not known to many people. This involves many problems. The main reason is that there are too many cultivators. Scarcity.
In the Tang Dynasty, which has a long history of tens of thousands of years, there are a lot of people who cultivate, and there are also countless schools of cultivation. In addition, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, has a vast territory, and many resources, but the population is not too large. Compared with the Tianxing Kingdom, The territory is five times larger, but it only has about half the population of Tianxing Kingdom. Of course, the per capita resources are relatively large.
In the Tang Dynasty, the practice of martial arts was very popular, and there were also many casual cultivators. They were all called monks. There was no distinction between practicing martial arts and cultivating the truth. Of course, there were not many people with truly high cultivation levels. Real masters often came from three A disciple of a large sect.
The monks of the Tang Dynasty were also the most respected people in the Tang Dynasty. They did not deliberately hide their identities. In order to prevent the monks from robbing and killing indiscriminately, a monks' guild was established. The guild safeguarded the interests of the monks and would also sanction the behavior. The existence of unscrupulous monks and guilds effectively maintained the tranquility of the cultivation world in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, cultivation was not so mysterious. It was just a way to strengthen oneself. It was in the same category as warriors, sorcerers, masters, and skilled craftsmen.
Sure enough, the heroic style of the Tang Dynasty is far from comparable to that of the weak Song Dynasty. Now the Tianxing Army builds a country with science and technology and has taken a completely different path. I don't know what will happen in the future.
