Chapter 149: Encountering the Peak
Entering the Southern Guixi Kingdom, Sun Xiang and the other three found that here, like the Cangmen-Myanmar Southern Kingdom, the local people were also told to beware of the Dark God Cult. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Southern Guixi Kingdom is not too big, and like the Cangmen-Myanmar Southern Kingdom, the cultivation of the Great Sword Master in the early stage is already the most master.
In this way, the three of them went all the way south, and after passing through five smaller kingdoms, they were about to enter the kingdom of Waqam.
When Sun Xiang first learned about this continent, he knew that the south was relatively wealthy. However, along the way, he found that although the kingdom they passed through was located in the south, because of its remoteness, the level of wealth was not as high as he imagined, and it could only be regarded as a solution to food and clothing.
Trade in these countries is largely or very underdeveloped, and it is more appropriate to describe them as self-sufficient, closed-ended countries. The main reason for this is the topography of the area. The countries they passed through were mountainous and the trails were very difficult. Due to the very low strength of the warriors here, and the country is not rich, none of these countries have set up any teleportation arrays, which also makes the transportation here very inconvenient.
Sun Xiang, who has experience in mainland China, knows that transportation bottlenecks are the main reason restricting the development of these countries.
Despite being remote and isolated, the people of these countries are very simple, and they enjoy this kind of seclusion. Because of this, although Sun Xiang and the other three were powerful and attracted their attention, no one provoked or solicited them. Just closely watched the three of them every move until they left their national capital.
At the same time, Sun Xiang and the others also found that the further they went south, the cultivation of the martial artists began to gradually improve. In the southern kingdom of Cangmen, the Great Sword Master was the most advanced martial artist in the early days. And in the country that just left, the highest-level martial artists were already in the middle stage of the Great Sword Master, and the number of sword master-level martial artists gradually increased. This let the three of them know that they should be getting closer and closer to the Fatrasi Empire.
As soon as they entered the border area of the Waqam Kingdom, Sun Xiang and the others frowned, because there was something wrong with the atmosphere here. The border checkpoints of the Waqam Kingdom are very lax in their checks on people entering the kingdom, but very careful about those who leave the kingdom. This is the opposite of what has been done in several other kingdoms.
Moreover, most of the people here were dressed in black, which was very different from the kingdoms they had passed through before.
Fortunately, they were mainly cultivating, and in order to reduce the chance of Hu Ba being exposed, they did not take the official road, so they did not let them in white cloaks be discovered prematurely.
The three of them immediately changed into black cloaks, temporarily gave up their ascetic-like cultivation, and walked into a city near the border. Because they still need a map.
The three of them wore black cloaks, and they were of a higher cultivation, which also attracted attention after entering the city, but not alienation, but respect. When the people on the road saw them, they all stopped and gave way, and some of them saluted.
The puzzled three people found the largest restaurant here and walked in, and immediately received a solemn reception, not only gave up the luxurious single room, but even the person in charge of the restaurant came in to personally introduce the dishes here.
Sun Xiang sat on the top with a full atmosphere, and after ordering the most expensive dishes in this restaurant, he asked, "We just arrived here, do you have a map of the Waqam Kingdom?" ”
The person in charge of the restaurant didn't show any surprised expression, and naturally handed the map to Sun Xiang, as if he had prepared it a long time ago.
Sun Xiang's doubts in his heart became even stronger, he looked down at the map, and found that this Waqam Kingdom was the largest of the kingdoms he had passed by. It is also a mountainous country, and the whole country seems to be located in the middle of a mountain range, so the country's transportation is also underdeveloped, and there is no teleportation array.
He calculated that it would take more than three months to pass through this country, and the next country would be called the Kingdom of Nandanlu. As for the Fatrasi Empire, it is still not marked on this map. It seems that the Fatrasi Empire and this country also do not border.
Sun Xiang put the map away, nodded at the person in charge, and then let go of his divine sense and began to inquire about the situation here. Hu Ba and Shao Zengjie knew Sun Xiang's habits, and chatted with the person in charge without a match.
After the meal was served and the person in charge retired, Sun Xiang frowned and said, "It's so strange, the people here are not afraid of the Dark God Sect, but they are relishing the Dark God Sect. ”
"What!" Shao Zengjie almost threw away the wine glass.
Hu Ba didn't dare to be interested in human religion, and if it weren't for Sun Xiang and Shao Zengjie's occasional conversation, he wouldn't even know about these situations. After listening to Sun Xiang's words, his reaction was not as big as Shao Zengjie's, but he also looked at Sun Xiang in surprise.
"Shhhh Someone is coming, don't talk much. Sun Xiang put his finger in front of his mouth and said softly.
As soon as Sun Xiang's words fell, there was a polite knock on the door.
Sun Xiang shouted at the door, "Please come in." ”
The door opened, and a young man dressed in black walked in, followed by an old man. The young man was in his thirties, and only the Great Swordsman was in the middle of his cultivation. The old man looked like he was in his sixties, but he was a mid-stage swordsman's cultivation, and he seemed to be the young man's bodyguard.
Seeing the three-year age and feeling the cultivation of the three of them, the old man showed a shocked look, although it was fleeting, he was still discovered by Sun Xiang.
After the young man in black entered the house, he said politely, "I'm bothered." I am the eldest son of the city lord, surnamed Gao, single word peak. I don't know what to call the brothers? ”
Sun Xiang stood up, and Hu Ba and Shao Zengjie also stood up. Sun Xiang nodded and said politely: "My surname is Sun, Sun Xiao, these two are my brothers, one is called Hu Ba, and the other is called Shao Jie." Mr. Gao, please be seated. ”
The young man was very satisfied with Sun Xiang's attitude, and found a place to sit down, while the old man stood behind the young man, his expression had returned to normal.
Sun Xiang politely poured Gao Feng a glass of wine, then sat down, picked up the wine glass and said, "It's an honor to meet Gao Gongzi, please." Then, take the lead in drinking the wine.
That peak said politely, drank the wine, and immediately praised: "Good wine!" Then, he looked at Sun Xiang and said, "I heard that there are a few young masters here, so I have the heart to make friends." It seems that I have come to the right place, otherwise I would not have been able to drink such good wine. That's it, today's meal is mine, please don't shirk Brother Sun. At this time, he had already seen that it seemed that Sun Xiang was the head of these three people. So he spoke directly to Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang saw that the other party didn't get into the topic, and he was not in a hurry, he just nodded: "Our three brothers travel around, and we are also willing to make some like-minded peers, since the senior brother is so hospitable, we are not welcome." ”
That peak had some true feelings, looked at Sun Xiang and the three of them with envy, and sighed: "Alas, I really envy you." I've also wanted to travel around and gain some knowledge. It's a pity that my family is always not at ease, alas. With that, he raised his glass and saluted Sun Xiang and the others.
Subsequently, Gao Feng introduced some of the customs and local products of the Waqam Kingdom to the trio, but did not talk about any political and religious matters at all.
And Sun Xiang also briefly talked about the situation of several countries such as the Cangmen-Burma Southern Kingdom and the Southern Guixi Kingdom that they passed through during their travels, which also made Gao Feng listen to it with relish.
In the end, Gao Feng politely said goodbye, and Gao Feng left with the old man. Before leaving, tell the person in charge of the restaurant to put the account of the house on his account.
Looking at the back of Gao Feng leaving, Sun Xiang let go of his consciousness and began to follow them. Seeing Sun Xiang pondering deeply, Hu Ba and the others did not disturb him.
"Uncle Gao, what do you think?"
"They did come from the north, and the situation in those countries is very accurate. But young master, these people are not simple, whether it is temperament or cultivation, they are not something that ordinary forces can cultivate. ”
"Is it possible that they are that kind of person?"
"This..." The old man hesitated for a moment before speaking; "The one surnamed Sun is a magician, and it's still possible. The other two are cultivating Dou Qi, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be that kind of person. ”
"Then why are they wearing black cloaks?"
"Ahem, young master, wearing a black cloak doesn't mean anything at all."
"Uncle Gao, due to my father's stubbornness, we were driven here from the capital. If we can't catch up with that kind of person, we will never have a place to get ahead, and it is even more extravagant to want to return to Beijing. Uncle Gao, I'm not reconciled. ”
"I know, I know. However, have you ever thought about the master's feelings? ”
"Alas... Just because I was thinking about my father's feelings, I didn't start a topic with those three people today. ”
"Young master, why don't you go back and discuss with the master."
"Okay."
The two of them stopped talking and walked silently towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Sun Xiang also withdrew his divine sense, picked up his wine glass, and thought slowly. He had a bold guess in his heart, but when this guess came out, even he couldn't believe it. He knew that in order to verify his guesses, he would definitely not be able to do so in this border city, and he had to go to the capital of this Waqam Kingdom. However, it was too risky, and he hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind.
The three of them rested for the night, bought three wildebeest beasts in the bazaar early the next morning, and left the border city.
They took the official road, and for most of the day, they also passed some villages along the way, and even the most insensitive Hu Ba found a problem. Seeing Sun Xiang and Shao Zengjie frowning and bowing their heads and hurrying away, he couldn't hold it back, rode to the middle of the two, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What's going on?" ”
