Chapter 18 Jianye City

Early the next morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The swordsman woke up early. In the past six months, he has developed the habit of getting up early to cultivate. Looking at the three ingots of silver neatly placed on the table, I couldn't help but laugh.

Yesterday, after hearing that the swordsman was going to visit Jianye City with Xia'er, the three village chiefs Tan gave him a silver ingot, and they couldn't be excused, and even the statement was not much different, so the swordsman had no choice but to accept it.

Originally, the swordsman was going to get up early and go to the north of the village to catch a wild boar and take it to Jianye City to sell, but now that he has these three ingots of silver, it is not very convenient to carry the wild boar with Miss Xia'er, so he simply broke off this idea.

After practicing and meditating in the house for a while, the swordsman came to the courtyard and fought several more times. After eating the breakfast sent by Miss Xia'er, the two set off.

Xiao Tongtong didn't know where to get the news, so she insisted on going with her, but Chef Sun had a good meal and promised a big meal, which stopped her.

The two of them walked out of Taoyuan Village and walked west along the path for almost two hours, and then they saw the tall city walls of Jianye City from a distance, and along the way, the girl Xia'er kept introducing the scenery along the way to the swordsman.

It turned out that out of Taoyuan Village, a large area not far from the south belongs to the category of East Bay, the scope of East Bay is very large, listen to Miss Xia'er, East Bay is also regarded as the outer edge of the East China Sea. To the east of the bay is the vast East China Sea. To the south, across the sea is the country of Aolai.

When Miss Xia'er followed Chef Sun from her daughter's village to Taoyuan Village, she passed through Aolai Country, then took a boat to the southern area of the East Bay, and then crossed the East Bay all the way back to Taoyuan Village.

There are some wild beasts in this eastern bay, but most of them are low-level giant turtles and starfish. They are not very aggressive, and if they don't take the initiative to provoke them on weekdays, they will rarely take the initiative to attack humans passing by. With the strength of Chef Sun at the peak of the Qi refining period at that time, she didn't encounter any danger with Miss Xia'er, but ate a lot of game along the way.

When he got closer, the swordsman found that the walls of this Jianye City were more than five meters high. All are made of bluestone bricks. Giving people a sense of oppression, Miss Xia'er said that it was because there was a beast riot, which caused a lot of losses to Jianye City at that time, which made the city wall higher and thicker at that time.

Jianye City is located at the easternmost point of the human settlement. It's not a big city, but many adventurers who explore the area will use Jianye Castle as a supply point, so there are a variety of shops in the city.

At the gate of the city, two columns of soldiers lined up on both sides, maintaining the order of entering and leaving the city. After paying the entrance fee to the city, the two officially stepped into Jianye City.

Walking into the city, the swordsman was suddenly shocked by the people coming and going in the city. Taoyuan Village has a small population, and it is the first time that the swordsman has seen such a large flow of people.

Compared with the calm Taoyuan Village, Jianye City is too prosperous and lively. There are all kinds of people who set up stalls on both sides of the street, and there are also buyers who stand in front of the stalls and bargain.

It's not the first time that Miss Xia'er has come to Jianye City, she is very familiar with this place, and she greets the people around her familiarly, and introduces the swordsman to the swordsman. "Over there is Grandpa Hai, who is here all year round to buy the adventurer's harvest in the East Bay area. ”

"Grandpa Hai, how is business going lately?"

Xia'er greeted an old man wearing a hat not far from the city gate.

"Hey, it's Xiao Xia'er, you haven't been to the city for a long time, how are they?" Grandpa Hai is haggling with an adventurer to buy the turtle shell in his hand.

"Village Chief Tan, they are very good, they asked me to say hello to you on their behalf before I came. Said that you will have time to go to Taoyuan Village as a guest. Good food and wine are waiting for you. Miss Xia'er smiled sweetly.

"Haha, good, good. It's good that these old guys are still alive, and I'll go and bother them when I have time. ”

Grandpa Hai laughed heartily twice.

"Who is this little brother?" Grandpa Hai saw the swordsman standing beside Xia'er.

"This is the swordsman and the young man, there has been nothing to do in the past two days, Xia'er took the young man to Jianye City for a visit. Then you get busy first, let's go elsewhere first. Miss Xia'er glanced at the swordsman shyly and said to Grandpa Hai.

"When the three of them were adventuring everywhere, they had a very good relationship with Grandpa Hai, and they walked around a lot on weekdays. ”

Miss Xia'er explained to the swordsman beside her as she walked.

"Hmm. ”

The swordsman was already fascinated by the prosperity of Jianye City, and while listening, he looked around at the surrounding environment.

"Xiao Xia'er. Come to the city to play again. An old voice came from the side.

"Grandpa Sun, you're still basking in the sun here. Xia'er greeted the man.

When the swordsman heard the prestige, he saw that it was an old man who spoke, and he seemed to be older than Village Chief Tan. Dressed plainly, he wore a small square hat on his head, and a big "Shou" word was embroidered on the front of the hat.

"Alas, people are old and don't like to move. The old grandson sighed and glanced at the swordsman. His brow furrowed slightly. "This young man, it seems that you will have a catastrophe in the near future, well, but no matter how much old decay you have, you can't see through it. ”

The swordsman was displeased, and said in his heart, "What's the matter with this old man? He didn't say anything, though. After all, he wouldn't worry about an old man because of these two sentences.

"Alas, you two need to be more careful, this East Bay has not been very peaceful lately. ”

Lao Sun Tou saw that the swordsman did not take it to heart, sighed, and still gave another instruct.

"Grandpa Sun, what's going on in Dongwan?" asked Xia'er curiously.

But the old grandson obviously didn't want to explain too much. Just sighed again and again.

Miss Xia'er didn't want to ask, so she had to take the swordsman along the main road in the city and continue to walk inside. After walking a short distance, I saw a group of people gathered on the side of the road and didn't know what they were doing.

The two approached curiously, only to hear a person dressed as a Taoist priest standing in the middle of a clearing surrounded by a crowd telling fortunes. Eloquent. Spit flying. The fortune teller nodded his head repeatedly. provoked onlookers to exclaim.

"It turned out that Uncle Niu was telling fortunes again, and I heard that Uncle Niu was accurate in telling fortunes. ”

Miss Xia'er knew what was going on at a glance.

"It's just pretending. ”

The swordsman has always believed in ghosts and gods. Muttered quietly. But I never thought that the old Taoist priest had extremely sharp ears. Listen to it.

"Young man, please stay. ”

Niu boldly stood up and stopped the swordsman.

"Uncle Niu, don't blame, Shaoxia, he has no malicious intentions. ”

Miss Xia'er hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't matter, I'm bold to tell fortunes in this Jianye City for so long, five hundred years before, five hundred years later, the credibility is guaranteed, this young man just doesn't understand. ”

Niu waved his hand boldly and generously, but suddenly changed his words.

"However, I see that the young man has a blessed face, but the seal hall is black, which is very inappropriate. ”
