Morning and dusk, sunset, stars come and go.
Chen Xiu was dusty all the way, heading north towards Shanglin City.
On the way, he slaughtered a few blind bandits and several men who tried to challenge him. With his martial arts skills, the journey was uneventful.
But when he got to the back, he often met martial arts practitioners walking in a hurry, talking about the Yuanyang Gang in Shanglin City, which made him feel like something big had happened.
More than ten days later, Shen Xiu arrived at the last town in front of Shanglin City.
Cangdong Town.
Perhaps this is because it is close to the capital of Heyang County. Cangdong Town has unique advantages in terms of geography and transportation.
Therefore, this place has become the largest town within dozens of miles, with five to six thousand households living in the town.
Compared with Guiyan Town, Tianhe Town, etc. near Taixi City that Shen Xiu had visited before, they were all prosperous and occupied a larger area.
It was already afternoon when Shen Xiu stepped into this town.
On the busy main street, he immediately found a restaurant and went in, ordered several large plates of meat, and waited for the food to be served.
While looking around, two people were chatting by the window.
"Sigh, this Cangdong Town is really much better than our Yunhua Town. Look at the streets, the buildings, and the bustling level of people coming and going. It's simply incomparable. "
"Can this be compared? Cangdong Town and Shanglin City are so close. He must be the biological son of Shanglin City. Many of the better ones are in Cangdong. How can we, Yunhua, be located between Pingchang City and Shanglin City? In the middle of the city, it’s like being raised by my mother-in-law, and my uncle doesn’t love me if my father doesn’t care for me.”
"Yes, it really depends on the terrain. Look, there are many more customers than that small shop."
"If you are so envious, then you will have to move to Cangdong Town in the future."
"If I move to Cangdong, I might as well move to Shanglin..."
"Shanglin? Can you afford to buy a house, pay the rent for a shop, and are you prepared for all kinds of taxes?
And your son, he should go to a bad private school. If he doesn't have the talent for reading, he should go to an ordinary martial arts school. Will he be like us in the future, a small businessman who depends on people's faces?
Without you, you still dare to think like this. A few drinks will make you like this. Eat food, eat food..."
…
Listening to the conversation in the restaurant, the familiar feeling made him laugh involuntarily.
At this time, behind the restaurant, a honest old man came over with several plates and placed them on Shen Xiu's table. When he saw the hundred-forged knife on the table, he did not look afraid. Instead, he smiled at Shen Xiu, "Come here, young man. You also participated in the Yuanyang Gang's trial, right?"
"The trial of the Yuanyang Gang? Can the old man tell me about it?"
In such a town, the Yuanyang Gang was also known, so Shen Xiu couldn't help but ask.
The old man was about to speak when a strong voice came from next to him.
"The Yuanyang Gang is currently short of people, so we are sending out recruitment notices to recruit a group of backbones. If you are interested, little brother, you can give it a try."
When Shen Xiu heard this, he looked over and saw a lean man wearing gray and gold patterns sitting at the diagonal dining table.
Seeing Shen Xiu looking over, he raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled.
"Guard Yu!"
When the honest old man next to him saw it, he quickly saluted.
This lean man is the guard of Cangdong Town, similar to the peace officer of this town. To ensure the stability of the world, the Dajing Dynasty does not only have the Xuanjian Division.
"I, Yu Zhenshan, just heard what my little brother said about the Yuanyang Gang. I have quite a lot of friendship with the Yuanyang Gang, so I can't help but say too much. Please forgive me.
But what I just said is still true. If my little brother wants to find a way to go to Lin City, the Yuanyang Gang is indeed a good choice, but..."
The man who called himself Yu Zhenshan changed the topic slightly when he said this, "If you don't join the Yuanyang Gang, how about you come to my town government and take a job? The salary of my town government is not cheap. There is still more than enough food.”
Shen Xiu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the town, someone would come up with his own idea.
Who would have thought that Cangdong Town is close to the capital city, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are convenient transportation and prosperous commerce.
The disadvantage is that there is a serious brain drain. Those who have some ability have already entered Shanglin City, and there is no way to find a way in a small town.
The town office in Cangdong Town was lacking in defense, so he, the guard, had to recruit some talents.
To know.
Last time, it was just a fourth-level white-bone demon that escaped from the Little Demon Mountain outside Shanglin City, and it made them miserable for a while.
He was not killed until the end, leaving him unknown where to go.
These trivial things made Yu Zhenshan's hair turn a little white.
"Thank you for your kindness, guard. I accept it from my heart. If the trial fails, I will definitely consider moving away from guard."
Shen Xiu promised casually.
"Okay!" Yu Zhenshan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't know that with Shen Xiu's cultivation level, he might not be able to succeed.
In the remaining few days, Shen Xiu stayed in Cangdong Town to inquire about the news.
Only then did he realize that the Yuanyang Gang was not a simple Jianghu force as he had thought before.
But in Shanglin City, they exist almost side by side with the Xuanjian Division. They even cooperate with the city government to do demon business, prevent a demon birthplace outside Shanglin City, and prevent the demons in Xiaoyao Mountain from escaping. .
During the few days that Shen Xiu stayed in Cangdong Town, a demon attack occurred outside the town, but Yu Zhenshan led a group of people to eliminate it.
After resting for a few days, he continued on his way. Finally, two days later, a huge shadow appeared in front of Shen Xiu.
This shadow is the city wall about ten feet high. At a glance, it looks like a dark mountain, full of solemn and intimidating feeling.
There are two city gates in front. Each one is wrapped in black iron. Just looking at it makes it difficult to shake.
but no matter.
The advantage of being close to Liujiang, the largest river in Dajing, is enough to make this city extraordinary.
Just looking from a distance, you can observe his extremely prosperous scene.
On the bluestone avenue where eight riders can walk side by side, businessmen and tourists from various states and counties are relaxed and relaxed, vendors walking in the streets are shouting and shouting, and fishermen in plain clothes are hurrying on their way.
Innocent children were playing and playing, and there was an endless stream of strong men practicing martial arts.
Among them, there are many people performing tricks on the street, which is very lively.
Amid the bustle of people, the prosperous scene of the ancient city suddenly appeared on the paper, like a slowly unfolding picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival.
Even occasionally, you can catch a glimpse of a figure wearing a long white shirt and a hosta in her hair, flying in the air, lightly stepping on the void, and floating far away over the city wall, so cool and unrestrained.
This is at least the sixth realm of martial arts cultivation in the Aperture Refining Realm.
Because only after entering the initial stage of refining the apertures and opening the three apertures that connect to the weather, and possessing enough true energy, can one achieve such a cool and unrestrained method of flying through the air in such a short period of time.
Shen Xiu in the distance was a little fascinated when he saw this.
However, he just sighed for a moment and then gave up. After all, it was only a matter of time before he reached such a state.
