Chapter 22: Swamp Town
This was the first time the three of them had traveled far since they arrived at the academy, and at this moment, the three of them were not only impulsive but also nervous, because this time they were going to a dangerous place in the Southern Wilderness, and they would also meet many young cultivators of their own age.
The first stop of the trip, that is, Song Shuyu's hometown - Weicheng. Wei City is the only way for the imperial city to go to the Southern Wilderness.
The three of them traveled for about a day before arriving in Wei City, which was less ornate and tall than the Imperial City, but the crowds on the streets were still the same lively.
"Han Xiaotian!"
When the three of them heard this, they all stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and at this moment, Han Xiaotian thought to himself, is there anyone here who knows me?
"In other words, this Han Xiaotian actually took Murong Xue's empty sword with his empty hand as a cultivator of the Qi Realm, and that scene was both amazing and spectacular......"
It turned out that a storyteller was explaining the battle between Han Xiaotian and Murong Xue to the crowd next to him.
After the three of them looked at it, Song Shuyu said with a smile: "It seems that after the First World War, the name of the senior brother can be said to be a household name!"
"I've never seen the world!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he strode away.
Soon after, the three of them arrived at the Song Mansion, where their father was hospitable and at home, and the next day they were each given a horse.
The journey of the few people with horses was much faster, and they came to the border of the Southern Wilderness in less than two days, and here they occasionally saw some young cultivators rushing forward, and it was estimated that they were also disciples of other sects who went to snatch the Book of Heaven.
Then several people rushed to Swamp Town, which was the closest town to the Southern Wilderness. Swamp Town is sparsely populated in normal times, and there are not many residents in the town, and even Blackwood Town, where Han Xiaotian grew up, is much more prosperous than here.
But at this time, the swamp town was very different, as early as half a year ago, as soon as the news of the imminent appearance of the Book of Heaven spread, it began to be lively.
All kinds of vendors rushed here, and some even built zero-hour inns, teahouses, and wineries here, because they knew that the cultivators made the best money.
At this time, the town was completely new and lively, and the crowds of people were almost all young cultivators, even in those more prosperous towns, it was rare to see a few cultivators in normal times, but now it can be said that there are more or less here.
After the three of them entered the town, they dismounted, and it happened to be noon at this moment, and Che saw that almost all the disciples of the other sects who had arrived early in the town were eating, drinking, and having fun, looking calm.
According to the news that the three of them got, the Book of Heaven will appear in a few days, and it stands to reason that the people at this moment should have entered the Southern Wilderness, how could they all gather here.
"Han Xiaotian!"
Just when all three of them were puzzled, a sudden call interrupted them.
After Han Xiaotian heard the call, he immediately looked up into the distance, and there were five people walking not far away, one of whom was Ruan Qing whom Han Xiaotian knew two years ago, two of them were wearing the same clothes as Ruan Qing, but the other two were dressed differently from the three of them.
"Brother Ruan, it's you!"
"Hahaha......"
Both of them laughed and hugged each other.
Then Han Xiaotian looked at a few people around Ruan Qing, and Ruan Qing introduced a few people to Han Xiaotian, who were in the same costume as Ruan Qing's senior brother, and the other two were young disciples of the generation of Yubingmen, because there were just five people in the two sects, so everyone walked together.
After the two introduced each other, everyone entered a zero-hour inn.
In the end, everyone inquired about the innkeeper and learned that the section of the road that originally entered the southern wilderness had recently become foggy, and the fog miasma was not only poisonous, but also eroded people's aura.
The rest of the road into the Southern Wilderness was muddy and inaccessible, so everyone gathered in the town and waited for the fog to dissipate.
At night, the two of them twisted a wine jug and lay on the tiles of a roof to talk at night.
When the two of them were a little drunk, Han Xiaotian told Ruan Qing about his life experience, Ruan Qing did not react much after hearing it, but said lightly: "I didn't expect you to have such a tragic past!"
Han Xiaotian lifted the flask and took a sip, "So Brother Ruan, it's no wonder that I couldn't confess to you at that time! At that time, I was exhausted and just wanted to study!"
"Cut! What demon race, human race, demon race, in my opinion, everyone is the same person, so why should they be hostile to each other and never interact. If I have that ability one day, I'm going to change the rules. ”
After hearing this, Han Xiaotian immediately stood up and said boldly: "Okay! When we have that ability in the future, we will definitely change it, let the three clans live in harmony, and jointly defeat this unfair Heavenly Dao!"
At this time, Ruan Qing also stood up, "Then it's for our lofty ideal!"
After saying that, the two of them laughed, and then raised the flask and drank it all.
The next day, the two of them came to the place where they entered the Southern Wilderness, where there happened to be a wide flat land, and there were several zero-hour teahouses on the flat ground, standing here and looking into the depths of the Southern Wilderness, they could only see a hazy white fog and couldn't see the scene inside at all.
Occasionally, I would see some scattered cultivators on the flat ground, and it was estimated that they had come to investigate the fog like the two of them.
After drinking a pot of tea, the two of them did not go directly back to the town, but came to a river outside the town to finish.
Ruan Qing asked Han Xiaotian if he had ever thought about his marriage while throwing small stones on the river, and Han Xiaotian replied that he had been busy with cultivation and had never thought about these things at all.
After hearing this, Ruan Qing asked with a smile on his face: "I heard that Murong Xue is good, not only is he beautiful, but also has a high cultivation talent, aren't you tempted by him?"
"She's almost killed me a few times! I can't hide too late, how can I be tempted?"
After Han Xiaotian finished speaking, he found a stone and sat down.
"Haha...... I said, You don't understand this, women! You have to rely on coaxing and deception, and once they are attracted to you, they will take care of you in every way. It's not okay to be open-mouthed, and I'll teach you two tricks when I have the chance, brother. ”
After Ruan Qing finished speaking, he patted the dust on his hands. At this time, Han Xiaotian slowly stood up, "Let's talk about it when we have the chance!"
The two of them chatted and walked along the riverbank, and it didn't take long for the two of them to see three women walking in the distance, Ruan Qing quickly dragged Han Xiaotian into the grass and hid, "The opportunity has come!"
Han Xiaotian asked with an ignorant expression, "What chance?"
"You wait!"
After Ruan Qing finished speaking, he handed the sword in his hand to Han Xiaotian, then lightly wiped some dirt on his face, and sneakily found a wooden stick.
Han Xiaotian looked at Ruan Qing's actions dumbfounded, not knowing what he wanted to do.
After the three women approached, Ruan Qing signaled Han Xiaotian not to go out, and then his eyes showed two white eyes, and he jumped out at once, "Help!"
The three women stopped suddenly, and at this time, Ruan Qing rolled her eyes and hit the ground with a wooden stick, while with the other hand, Shen went out and kept scratching, "Help, is there anyone?"
