Chapter 35: Iron City
After walking out of the vast swamp and walking for almost five or six hundred miles of uninhabited land, Zhong Yong finally saw the traces of people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Standing on a hillside at this time, Zhong Yong looked into the distance, and more than ten miles away, Zhong Yong saw a village.
Seeing this, Zhong Yong's heart moved, and he walked towards this village.
The village is not large, with about thirty or forty households.
Since it was already evening, the farmers who had been working outside for a day were gradually returning home. Many farmers' chimneys also emit curling smoke.
The blood-red sunset, the quiet village, the curling smoke, at this moment, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Yong suddenly lost his mind.
"Maybe this kind of life is also good, simple happiness." At this time, Zhong Yong's mouth muttered.
But then Zhong Yong shook his head quickly, and then sighed: "Maybe it's because of simplicity that I feel happy." ”
"Today's ordinary life is within easy reach for me, if I were allowed to live such an ordinary life now, would I be willing?" Then Zhong Yong asked himself secretly in his heart.
Then without thinking too much, Zhong Yong soon gave his own answer in his heart.
The answer to this is no.
"Strong strength, eternal life, this is what I Zhong Yong is pursuing." I only heard Zhong Yong's eyes muttering firmly.
This place is far away from the swamp, and the monsters are also hidden in the depths of the vast swamp, so although this place is extremely remote and sparsely populated, there is no problem with safety, otherwise the people here will not present a scene of living and working in peace and contentment.
Not far from the village, after a little muttering, Zhong Yong decided to find someone to spend the night.
During this period of time, Zhong Yong's nerves have been in a tense state, even if he is resting, he is in a cold cave, deal with it.
Zhong Yong found a family located in the westernmost part of the village, which seemed to be relatively remote.
It's a family of three, a middle-aged couple in their forties, and their teenage daughter.
After entering this farmhouse and having a meal with the master, Zhong Yong went to the room arranged by the master and fell asleep deeply.
The people in this village are not rich, and the same is true of the family where Zhong Yong stays. However, although the home is very simple, the floor is also very clean and neat.
Don't worry about your own safety, a comfortable environment, so Zhong Yong slept very soundly this night, and slept until the sun was shining, and then gradually woke up.
After having a lunch with his master again, Zhong Yong said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Zhong Yong left three elixirs to this family, all of which were good medicines that could strengthen the body and enhance qi and blood.
Zhong Yong's adventures in the deep mountains and old forests along the way, or the barren mountains and Daze, made Zhong Yong get a lot of elixirs. Although these three elixirs are nothing to Zhong Yong, they are definitely unattainable to ordinary mortals.
After watching the family of three take the elixir, Zhong Yong left.
Zhong Yong has a very good impression of the family of three where he stays, the middle-aged couple is simple and kind, and the teenage girl is also well-behaved and sensible. After getting along with them, Zhong Yong's accumulated anger due to too many killings before was also consumed a lot.
Bidding farewell to this family, Zhong Yong continued to move forward.
As Zhong Yong continued to advance, Zhong Yong met more and more people, and the towns he saw were getting bigger and more prosperous.
Two months later, Zhong Yong crossed this rich plain.
During this two-month trip, Zhong Yong met a lot of people and experienced different customs and customs in various places.
Along the way, Zhong Yong also tasted a lot of delicious food.
For these delicacies, Zhong Yong, who didn't have a copper plate on his body, also made several robbers and ransacked several rich and noble homes.
Of course, Zhong Yong found those guys who had a bad reputation and were rich and unkind.
……
……
"Further on is the Qingluo Grassland."
In a remote town, in a neat and clean cabin, Zhong Yong held a map jade slip and said in a deep voice.
The next day, after Zhong Yong purchased enough water and food in the town, he resolutely stepped into the vast grassland.
This Qingluo grassland is still relatively dangerous, there are many demon beasts living in it, and the overall strength is even stronger than the demon beasts that Zhong Yong encountered in those deep mountains and swamps before.
……
……
Half a month later, this Zhong Yong had penetrated nearly a thousand miles into the grassland.
This place has already entered the depths of the grassland, and demon beasts have gradually begun to appear.
On this day, Zhong Yong finally killed this Qingfeng wolf after a lot of effort.
After skillfully cutting the useful spiritual materials on the demon wolf's body, Zhong Yong was ready to leave. But at this moment, in a mess of grass not far away, a small green grass more than three feet tall appeared in Zhong Yong's sight.
Zhong Yong was only about twenty zhang away from this small grass, so Zhong Yong was about to dodge in two flashes.
"Is this Qingyuan grass?" Looking at the emerald green grass in front of him, Zhong Yong thought happily in his heart.
Then Zhong Yong took out a classic book from the storage bag, and then quickly turned to a certain page, comparing it with the verdant grass in front of him.
The classic book that Zhong Yong took out at this time was the book "Encyclopedia of Elixir and Poisonous Herbs" that he bought in Wangulingfang City a long time ago.
After some comparison, Zhong Yong's heart couldn't help but be happy.
That's right, this inconspicuous grass is indeed Qingyuan grass.
After deciding, Zhong Yong slowly picked up the elixir, put it into a jade box, and then put it into a storage bag.
……
……
Another month and a half later.
In the grassland, this Zhong Yong was standing in front of a half-dead ancient tree that was difficult for three people to hug, with a look of surprise on his face.
At this time, Zhong Yong's eyes were shining at the half-dead tree in front of him, to be precise, the big fungus with a huge face and a golden body on top of the half-dead tree.
This piece of golden fungus Zhong Yong knows that it is a rare elixir, golden spiritual ear.
However, just when Zhong Yong was overjoyed in his heart and wanted to reach out to pick, suddenly a gray-brown shadow "swished" out of the ground not far away.
This turned out to be a gray centipede, more than two feet long, and immediately pounced after seeing Zhong Yong.
However, after Zhong Yong glanced at the centipede demon beast, he was not afraid, and took the initiative to meet it with the blood sword.
One man and one beast will fight together in an instant.
……
……
Two months later, Zhong Yong finally walked out of this grassland.
However, what awaits Zhong Yong next is a vast desert.
In the long yellow sand of the desert, there are many monsters hidden, and if you are not careful, you will be hit. And what makes Zhong Yong even more unbearable is that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large, the day is scorching hot, and the night is extremely cold.
After walking for three months and going through many hardships, Zhong Yong finally walked out of the desert.
After walking out of the desert, Zhong Yong didn't slow down for a long time, and in his eyes and mind, it seemed that he was still golden.
Walking out of the desert, and after half a year of climbing mountains and mountains, on this day, Zhong Yong finally came to an important stop in his planning, Iron and Blood City.
This iron-blooded city is not a mortal city, but a true city of monks.
Iron Blood City is nestled in the Sunset Hills within a radius of thousands of miles.
As long as you pass through the Sunset Hill and cross a large river with a width of 100 miles, you will reach the Yunyin Mountain Range where Taixuanzong is located.
Therefore, when he arrived in Iron Blood City, Zhong Yong's long journey could be regarded as nine times out of ten.
"Is Iron Blood City ahead?" Looking at the faint outline of the city in the distance, Zhong Yong muttered from his mouth.
After a year and a half, Zhong Yong, who has crossed mountains, crossed mountains, crossed plains, walked through grasslands, stepped on deserts, crossed rivers, and of course passed by many prosperous cities of mankind, finally came to the Iron Blood City, which does not belong to Taixuanzong, but is relatively not too far from Taixuanzong.
Taixuanzong is one of the five major sects in Qingzhou, and the entire Yunyin Mountain Range within a radius of thousands of miles is occupied by it. Even in the vicinity of the Yunyin Mountain Range, no one dared to touch it.
This iron-blooded city is the closest spiritual city to Taixuanzong, but even so, it is more than five thousand miles away from the Yunyin Mountain Range. It is nearly 15,000 miles away from the location of the Taixuan Sect, which is located in the depths of the Yunyin Mountain Range.
Iron Blood City is the closest spiritual city to Taixuanzong, so in Zhong Yong's planning, this spiritual city is also Zhong Yong's last stop before entering Taixuanzong, and it is also the place where Zhong Yong improves his strength, and finally understands Taixuanzong, and prepares for entering Taixuanzong.
……
A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Yong came to the outside of the Iron and Blood City.
The Iron Blood City is very majestic, the city wall is more than ten zhang high, and the city gate is even more magnificent. The three blood-red characters of "Iron Blood City" on the city gate are extremely strong and faintly exude a murderous atmosphere.
At the gate of the city, there are monks guarding it, and on both sides of the gate, there are three people on one side, each of whom has a four-layer cultivation in the Qi training period.
Seeing this, Zhong Yong sighed in his heart, this iron-blooded city is really extraordinary, and even the cultivation of the monks guarding the gate is higher than him.
However, after a lot of training, Zhong Yong's mind has already become very strong, so he is also fearless.
Walking to the gate of the city, Zhong Yong glanced at it and wanted to step in.
But at this moment, he was stopped by several monks guarding the city gates.
"Each person entering the city needs to pay ten spirit crystals." I only heard the monk who guarded the city say with a blank face.
Hearing this, Zhong Yong was surprised, he didn't expect that he would have to charge even to enter a city.
But soon, Zhong Yong's face showed embarrassment.
Although these ten spirit crystals are not much, he really doesn't have them on his body at this time.
However, the quality of these monks guarding the city was not bad, and they did not despise or ridicule Zhong Yong because he couldn't take out ten spirit crystals.
Several monks guarding the city were still expressionless at this time.
"Giggles, what's the matter, this little brother seems to be in a little trouble? Why don't I, sister, lend you some spirit crystals? You don't have to pay it back, you just need to accompany your sister tonight, what do you think? ”
At this moment, after a few flickering, the two figures also came to the gate of Iron Blood City, and then one of them chuckled softly at Zhong Yong's side and said.
