Zhiyuan Station, said to be an inn, is more like a small village with nearly two hundred households. Not only are there government offices from other villages and towns, but there are also military camps stationed nearby.
There was nothing wrong with us, we were just chasing the moonlight. As we approached the town, a middle-aged man who claimed to be a monk accompanying the army asked him for his ultimatum and where he was going.
Cheng Yun told the truth, "Luofeng Pass? But you are going to Sang Ling Country? What are you going to do?" Although he asked, the monk accompanying the army had already returned the ultimatum to Cheng Yun.
After collecting the ultimatum, Cheng Yun gave the reason he had already prepared.
The elders in the family were separated during the war earlier. I heard that someone had seen him in Sangling Country. As a junior, he needed to go there to find out the reason.
The middle-aged man nodded, seeing Cheng Yun's plain clothes, and said kindly: "At this late hour, only the Jianglai Inn in the southeast is open, but it's a tight spot. If you plan to stay there, just say it's Chen Yang's distant nephew who knows how to count. You’re cheaper.”
After thanking her as a gift, I took out a small packet of spices. They were cheap but I mixed them myself. They calmed my mind and had a long-lasting fragrance.
Chen Xianxian was not going to accept it. Looking at the boy's serious eyes reflected in the moonlight, he thanked him and took the sachet and smelled it at the tip of his nose. It smelled of honeysuckle.
When I arrived at the inn that was still open, I gently woke up the waiter who was dozing off, saying that I was recommended by an elder from far away, Chen Yang, to stay here and the price was fair.
After hearing this, the waiter took half of the money marked on the board and entered the room with Cheng Yun.
Hearing that the guest had a cow outside, he drove the young green cow into the backyard shed and stuffed it with more fodder.
The little green cow doesn't need to eat this or that fodder at all, just to behave like a cow. Now it seems that its success is serious, so it will have to eat it in the future. The taste is still good, but it is a little dry.
He went to the government to stamp the certificate, stated where he was going and the purpose of his visit, handed over the six spirit stones, and followed the soldiers to the riding field.
A deer-like beast with four horns, gray hair, rings on each bifurcated horn, armor on its four hooves, faintly visible runes, and a saddle on its back.
Cheng Yun has read "The Picture of Moving Beasts". It is said that this beast is a descendant of the ancient Fu Zhu, named Baijiang Deer. It is as big as an ox, good at running, and can also swim on large water.
Seeing Cheng Yun staring at the Baijiang deer, the soldier was not surprised and said hello to the leader of the convoy, "The last one has arrived, and there is also a calf. It is considered to be the right size and weight in the cargo. I will bundle it up and put it on the last car." .”
The leading sergeant nodded and watched Cheng Yun get into the car. Little Qingniu looked at Cheng Yun's back, obediently tied up and stuffed into the last car.
Entering the car, there were about ten people, each with a seat, about one person apart from each other. It was not crowded as expected, and there were no windows, but there was a formation flowing on the top, and cool wind blew in from time to time.
I remember seeing it before. After the war, the Zisu Kingdom provided some of its war-used riding animals and vehicles for civilian use to promote people's livelihood. The one Cheng Yun was riding this time was one of them.
From this station to Luofeng Pass, it would take an ordinary horse 20 days to run without rest, but this kind of carriage only takes half a day.
Of course, there is still a big difference between the official road and the military road. The military road is almost straight, but the official road has to twist and turn to connect various towns. The route is more than twice as long.
There was a lamp hanging on the roof of the car for every three seats. Cheng Yun closed his eyes and could not calm down. Seeing someone in the same car holding a book and reading it, he took out the book and reluctantly calmed down and read.
The convoy will stop during the interval, and people will get on and others will get off. If the seats are full, those who have not yet boarded can only wait for the next one, which is not slow at all, with one leaving every half an hour.
Now that I was lucky, I got out of the car and looked at the scenery, hoping to find the little green cow. However, the last truck was seven trucks away from my own.
After stopping about six times, the convoy finally arrived at Luofeng Pass. They dragged the sleeping little green cow and registered it under the leadership of the sergeant before entering Luofeng Pass.
With no time to pay attention to the hustle and bustle in the city, I asked for directions to the Luofeng City Gate. The inner city wall was like the Tianguan City. There were portals on the wall for people to enter and exit. The attic houses were all military barracks buildings, and all of them were shrouded in formations.
Cheng Yun was amazed. He only thought it was strange when he read it in books. But when he saw it with his own eyes, his feeling in Tianguan City was no exaggeration.
I went to the letter bureau on the city wall to register my name. My origin was changed to Run Village. The identity given by Butcher Zhang was that every three months Mr. Lin would go to that village to practice medicine and pick up the letter.
Everything was fine here, Cheng Yun took a deep breath and rode the green ox out of Luofeng Pass.
From here we go to the Liaohuo Pass of Sangling Country. From the tent plain, we go out of the Qingshan Forest, cross Guan'er Mountain and enter the Liaohuo Pass.
After riding for more than a month, there were many ghosts and bandits.
He closed his mind and no longer recalled the records in the book, thinking that the book written by the Zisu people was to intimidate their own citizens not to go to the Sanling Kingdom.
Of course, there are monsters flying in the sky that can carry people, and there are also people with high cultivation who can protect people. However, the hundred spirit stones are really difficult for me. Mr. Lin won't give them, and Bai Lai's master doesn't owe them. What should I do? Went bull riding.
He looked up and saw a huge black eagle roaring past, with a dozen or so people standing on top of it. It was estimated that there were more than a thousand spiritual stones in one trip.
It's a pity that the little green cow can't fly, otherwise I would have to squeeze two or three people to sit down together. It's not much, and fifty per person can solve some urgent needs.
I couldn't find anyone accompanying me. Firstly, I saw that my cultivation level was low, and secondly, there was a mixture of people and snakes. It seemed that there were not many people with good intentions.
Of course, I still have to blame myself for being poorly dressed, and the mount is a cow. At first glance, it doesn't even look like a monster. It is probably that others treat it as rations and carry it around with them.
After walking for a while, I looked back to see how high the Luofengguan city wall and the mountains on both sides were. They were all red and about two hundred feet high.
Feeling that no one could see him, he changed his back to a ox-mouthed sword, put on cassocks, and changed his face. He was a thin young man with a stubble on his face.
There is a small city on the site of the tent. Although there is no one to take care of it in the chaos, I can at least go and see if there is anyone accompanying me to provide supplies. After all, there must be some elbows.
No longer thinking about it, I should be able to cope with it from here to Wuyin City. I squeezed the little green cow to wake up. I only know that the little green cow's strength has been damaged. I don't know what level of master he is now.
I asked about it before, and I vaguely said "foundation building", but I haven't heard it before, and the literal meaning should be similar to my own.
Although it is a plain, there are various terrains such as hills and woods, and there are all kinds of strange monsters, but most of them prey on each other, and they will not often kill humans if you don't provoke them.
In addition, this place is close to the Zisu Kingdom, and monks accompanying the army often come here to clean up the area to prevent the monsters who have become spirits from not knowing the rules.
Therefore, Chengyun's journey along the way was more about experience. Occasionally, there were a few monsters that were hungry and crazy, and Chengyun took out the demon pills the size of bullets, which was a bit of gain.
The fight was very easy, one move after another.
About three or four hours later, it was getting late, and Cheng Yun could vaguely see countless lights on.
As we get closer, there is a tattered stone tablet that says "Wuyin City East". It is not a city planned and built like the Zisu Kingdom, but more like a huge village spliced together by more than a dozen villages. A few formation disk warnings are simply missing on the periphery, and the city wall is also A makeshift adobe.
Walking over the stone monument, there was no loud noise. Most people either found a shabby house to live in and put a sign at the door to indicate that someone was there, or they sat on the ground and closed their eyes to set up stalls.
People came and went, and the conversations were just whispers or even the tiniest bit of silence. The city was basically filled with monks, big and small, and they had clear purposes for coming and going, and few people caused trouble.
In this place where no one can control it, it is easier to watch the fun than to get into trouble.
I took a look at the goods on the stall. It may be due to the reason outside the city. The goods are uneven. They are all ordinary goods, which are similar to the few demon pills in my hand.
I asked if anyone was collecting monster materials for cheap, but they all had indifferent faces and told me to get out of here and don't disturb my business. It's a pity that such a good thing will never be thrown away when it comes out of the city and is received in Xianfa.
These houses on the edge of the city look unsafe, but they are better than not paying.
Walk inside to see what else there is, and at least find a place to buy a map. The map I found from Zisu Country only goes as far as Wuyin City, so I can only get a rough idea of what to do further back.
After a while, it turned out to be a mountain.
Before, I could only see tall buildings outside and thought they were built on high slopes.
When you get close, you need to walk through a smaller than usual city gate. There is a fee for those with standard armor at the door, one spiritual stone for each person and one spiritual stone for each monster.
Heartbroken, I gave two of them and got a brand. All I had left with me was the ten spirit stones I had stolen when I left home.
There are no stairs going up the mountain as I remember, but instead pavilions and buildings rising one after another, and you can vaguely see platforms rising and falling.
Looking in amazement at the scene that was completely different from the outside, a slinky old man came up and said, "Senior, is this your first time in Wuyin City? Does it have nothing to do with the outside world?"
When a man who looked as old as Mr. Lin called him "Senior", Cheng Yun immediately thought that he had the wrong name. He pretended not to care and touched his chin, but there was no mistake.
He suppressed his discomfort and motioned for the old man to continue.
The old man understood and bowed.
"Seniors who have never been here will naturally be amazed. In fact, this Wuyin City was originally a back-up prepared by the Three Kingdoms of Sanngling, Zisu, and Lianyuan for the Jilong territory in the north. Unexpectedly, it was not used in the end, and because of the investment in this mountain We had a lot of supplies and were unwilling to let go, so we had to send some chambers of commerce, non-governmental organizations and the like to come in and manage each other.”
The old man asked Cheng Yuan to stand on the railing in front. Looking down, the mountain seemed to be hollowed out and there were many buildings. The old man saw that the senior's expression did not change. It was not easy to make money this time.
Inadvertently falling behind Cheng Yun, and a position away from him, he ensured that the seniors could hear his voice without making the seniors feel that he was an eyesore. Xiao Qingniu learned a lot from behind.
"There are five floors below and three floors above. Counting the entrance floor, there are nine floors in total. The inner city is built on Zhuanyun Mountain. There is an earth fire source under the mountain for the operation of the entire city formation. The last floor is also for alchemy. It’s a good place to refine weapons. It’s just that the fees are expensive, and most people above the third level can afford it.”
"For the Chamber of Commerce's acquisition, which floor is where to form a team?"
The old man pointed, it was on this floor.
Cheng Yun signaled to lead the way and go to the acquisition place first.
