Unlike East Zuzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, Zhongzhou is a place where human races gather. Official roads lead to all directions. There are few immortals and many mortals. The cities everywhere are bustling and lively, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going.
Shen Yu came to a medium-sized city named Luoshui.
The city was named Luoshui, naturally because of the Luoshui River, which is only a hundred feet away from the city. The river became famous because a beautiful woman was doing laundry by the river and was seen by a local prostitute. words of praise.
Taken from the god of Luoshui, the meaning of the place where fairies come to the world.
When a man wearing a green shirt and an outstanding temperament entered the city, he naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
The officers and soldiers at the gate of the city stopped such a practitioner. However, when they saw the ultimatum handed out by the other party, their expressions changed. After bowing respectfully, they got out of the way.
Shen Yu took back the ultimatum with a calm expression.
Now that he came out of the imperial capital, these unnecessary things were naturally easy to come by. Although he didn't know what the three characters "Xunyao Si" engraved on the document meant, it seemed that it could obviously reduce a lot of trouble.
After Shen Yu entered the city, he went directly to the local shop and bought a map.
This trip goes all the way to the Demon Realm. It requires traveling north to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty, enter the desert outside the Great Wall, and finally pass through thousands of miles of yellow sand to reach the border of the Demon Realm.
Among them, we also need to stop by Linbei Tantai's house to see the sword-washing pool there.
As for the Sword Fairy City, a flash of memory flashed through Shen Yu's eyes, and the figure of a woman dressed in white and dancing a sword lingered in his mind.
Don't want to go.
Or maybe, I don’t dare to go.
Shen Yu shook his head and regained his thoughts.
In the shop, Shen Yu put the map directly back into the space ring, because it looked like this journey was extremely long from above, and it obviously didn't happen overnight.
The shopkeeper was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. When he saw this scene, he smiled and said, "If you feel that the journey is far, you can buy a horse or carriage in the city. The price is guaranteed to be fair. It will be much cheaper to report my name."
When Shen Yu heard this, his heart moved slightly.
According to the shop owner, there was indeed a horse stall on the corner not far away. Shen Yu chose a good green horse and led it out of the shop.
The owner of the horse shop originally wanted to teach this young man how to ride a horse, but he saw that the usually most hot-tempered horse in the shop was like a woman, being led by the man, shyly and silently, walking in a charming way, He couldn't help but look dull, forgetting about this incident.
Shen Yu walked out of the city gate, sat on the horse, closed his eyes and concentrated.
Practitioners can eat grains themselves. On weekdays, the whole grains are just to satisfy the taste of the mouth, and the body does not have any needs.
So except for giving the horses time to eat grass and rest, Shen Yu moved forward at a speed without any stagnation.
As time went by, I passed through four counties and seven counties without realizing it, and was already far away from the imperial capital.
Zhongzhou is worthy of being the seat of the Tang Dynasty and the Academy. The official roads are unobstructed. Occasionally, it is quiet and peaceful when passing through the wilderness and deep mountains. There are very few so-called bandits and bandits, which is much better than the world in Dongzuzhou.
Of course, according to Shen Yu's understanding, there is no such thing as killing people and selling goods, but it will be cleaner and more silent here.
On this day, Shen Yu rested on the top of a big mountain.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
There is a ruined temple in the mountains.
The moonlight shines on the small abandoned temple that has been abandoned for a long time on the top of the mountain, making it look particularly lonely and deserted.
Shen Yu lit a bonfire and leaned on a stone nearby, looking at the starry sky. The only sounds beside him were the sound of horses grazing and chewing.
It has been more than a few months along the way.
However, the lifespan of a cultivator is long, and the lifespan will be greatly increased after entering the realm of divine movement. Therefore, just a few years and a few months are really nothing worth remembering.
Late at night, I don't know when a huge dark cloud blocked the moon in the sky, and the world was dark.
Along with the cold wind, there was a vague sound
sound.
"Help me...save me...save me..."
Perhaps because of the darkness of the night, this voice seemed to penetrate into people's hearts, making it very eerie.
Shen Yu closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear, not even intending to open his eyes.
So the green horse in the field seemed to be the only witness... The witnessing horse turned its head slightly to look at Shen Yu, then rolled its eyes and silently buried its head in the ground. Inside, there was a snoring sound.
"Save me, save me! If that monster comes here, it will really be over."
"Why are you so helpless? Don't you think about your own life?"
"A guy who doesn't know anything is so timid when he comes out to hang out. You have no future!"
"You're going to die! You're really going to die!"
The voice became more and more anxious, with a hint of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
at this time.
The moonlight shines brightly, illuminating the mountains.
The voices in the temple suddenly disappeared.
Shen Yu opened his eyes for the first time and looked into the distance.
There was a shuddering sound from the top of the mountain, and a majestic roar echoed in the forest, sending countless birds and beasts flying.
Only a huge ape with strong muscles appeared on the top of the mountain.
The moment it came out, the terrifying pressure of evil energy filled the entire mountain top.
The ape's body is covered with lush hair, and the muscles on its chest and arms are bulging and veins are clear. At a glance, you can see that it contains extremely powerful power.
It looked at Shen Yu with bared teeth and slapped its chest with both hands, full of vigilance and anger.
Shen Yu looked at it calmly, but before he could say anything, several spiritual energy shot up from the top of the mountain, accompanied by scolding voices, and instantly came to Shen Yu's side.
"Bastard, I've been looking for you for so long, and you finally came out!"
"Okay, I didn't expect you to really live on this mountain, but this time you can't escape even if you have wings!"
I saw three more people appear out of thin air on the top of the mountain, an old man with an ordinary face and an extraordinary temperament, an eccentric sword-wielding girl, and a young man with ordinary cultivation.
The three of them wore the same clothes and held Tao swords. They were probably disciples of the same sect.
The sword-wielding girl who spoke out before pointed the tip of her sword at the big ape and shouted coldly: "Look at me doing justice for heaven today and destroying this beast like you!"
The old man frowned and said, "Ling'er, this place is extremely strange. We haven't figured out the situation yet, so we must not be careless!"
"I know, master, leave this to me!"
The girl said casually, then she looked at the man in green shirt lying on the side, frowning and said: "Coward, get aside quickly, or I won't be able to see you with my sword later, and I'll be careful to stab you."
Shen Yu nodded calmly and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he led his horse and walked far away.
