Chapter 1448: Something to Ask For
Yancheng is located on the vast plain land. Standing on the tall city wall of Yancheng, you can see the large wheat fields outside.
With Yancheng as the center, there are more than 20 small cities within a radius of hundreds of miles. Because the land is fertile and the cultivation techniques are better, enough food can be harvested to feed a larger population.
In the vast plains, powerful demon beasts were all killed. Compared to the mountainous areas and large rivers and lakes, the Feiyan Plain is also safe enough. As a result, many small settlements have been established.
In this way, over the past few hundred years, Yancheng has become the absolute center of the Feiyan Plain. Both commerce and agriculture are exceptionally prosperous.
Compared with other independent cities, Yancheng already has a bit of a national flavor.
Gao Zhengyang and Jiaojiao didn't sleep in vain, and they got a lot of important information from her. I also saw a rough map.
The map, though rough, marks all the areas that the Crocodiles have reached.
The natural environment is so treacherous that most ordinary people can only stay in one place for the rest of their lives. The message is also unusually closed. Only a powerful gang like the Crocodile Gang can have enough armed force to protect itself from running around.
The map drawn by the Crocodile Gang can be said to be a treasure in this world. The map shows not only the cities, but also the various markers.
Mark out the local folk customs, specialties, including what powerful monsters and ghosts and so on. It will also indicate the powerful forces in the area. In a few places, the name of a certain strong person will be listed separately.
Gao Zhengyang has a super strong memory, and he memorized the map completely with just a glance.
Because the crocodile gang and the Lieyangmen are bordered by their spheres of influence, both sides are wary of each other, and they are very cautious in their posture with each other. Of course, as a sect, Lieyangmen has a profound heritage and is also more powerful.
Moreover, the cohesion of the Lieyang Gate is also stronger. The sect relies on systems such as secret methods, inheritance, and beliefs to unite all people closely. Gangs, by contrast, are temporary combinations.
There are thousand-year-old sects, but there are no gangs that have been passed down for thousands of years.
The Crocodile Gang also knew that they couldn't compare to Lieyangmen, Lieyangmen openly accepted Xu Hong as an apprentice, and the Crocodile Gang also admitted it.
Gao Zhengyang didn't really know the details of this, but he knew that the Lieyangmen and the Crocodile Dragon Gang belonged to hostile forces. Because the area where the Sun Gate is located is marked with red danger.
Regarding the situation of the Lieyang Gate, the map is also particularly rough. Just a few big cities were simply marked. There are no specific labels.
Obviously, the Crocodile Gang had no intention of plotting against the Lieyang Gate. As long as the current balance of power can be maintained, the Crocodile Gang will be satisfied.
The Lieyangmen, which the crocodile gang didn't dare to provoke, Gao Zhengyang couldn't afford to provoke now. Don't look at it as a double seventh-order, it's not difficult to kill an eighth-order by leaping over the level.
But against the ninth-order powerhouse, it was much worse.
Gao Zhengyang is just not familiar with the laws of this realm, but his understanding and judgment of the power of each stage will not be wrong. With his current state, it was a little difficult to run when he encountered a ninth-order.
Therefore, Gao Zhengyang killed the old man in yellow and left Yanshui City overnight with Bai Ling. Of course, Gao Zhengyang was still very righteous and left a letter for Jiaojiao, briefly explaining what happened.
As for how the other party should deal with it, it has little to do with him.
Gao Zhengyang has achieved the yang god and has been able to fly against the wind. He has also practiced the Wind Resisting Technique, so that he can barely fly with Bai Ling.
This kind of flight speed can't be too fast, because the wind in the air is like a knife, and Bai Ling's small body and bones can't stand it. can only let Gao Zhengyang carry it, and she can barely bear it by hiding behind.
On the other hand, Gao Zhengyang couldn't fly fast with Bai Ling on his back. According to his estimates, it is about three or four hundred kilometers an hour. Fortunately, he has a strong sense of divine consciousness and the power of a seventh-order martial artist. You can carry Bai Lingfei on your back without resting for a day.
After flying in the sky for two days, they crossed thousands of kilometers and came to Yancheng.
Yancheng is powerful, and it has no direct relationship with Lieyangmen and the Crocodile Dragon Gang. Staying here will save you a lot of trouble.
The reason why the seventh order of this world is so powerful is because the seventh order can fly. With such a high mobility ability, as long as you don't die, it is actually difficult to be caught to death.
Because the whole world is divided into countless cities, each of which is relatively independent. A sect like the Lieyang Sect can only maintain control within its own sphere of influence.
Even if Gao Zhengyang stayed in the Lieyangmen's sphere of influence, it would be difficult for the Lieyangmen to find him in a short period of time. Although there are all kinds of magical spells in this realm, they cannot be generalized to the grassroots level.
Compared with the strict monitoring of modern technology in Bluestar, which can recognize faces only with cameras everywhere, the monitoring intensity in this world is too much worse.
Even in the modern world, with Gao Zhengyang's super maneuvering ability and the ability to change the facial muscle characteristics at will, it would be a dream to catch him.
However, there are also benefits to closed areas. It's just that an outsider suddenly comes, and it's hard to hide it.
Gao Zhengyang was not interested in fighting with Lieyangmen, so he simply ran to Yancheng.
The yellow-clothed old man who was killed by him, although a little residual divine sense ran away with the flying sword. But his remnant consciousness was not enough to store enough information, and he was thankful that he could fly back, and it was a dream to report the news.
Gao Zhengyang actually has enough time to buffer, but there is no need to take risks. So, he galloped all the way and came to Yancheng two days later.
As the center of the plain, Yancheng is extremely prosperous. The gates on all sides were long queues waiting to enter the city. There were merchants, farmers carrying crops, hawkers, travelers, and so on.
Gao Zhengyang fell far away, found a secluded place, and made a water mirror.
The Hanjiang sword technique learned from Du Chuan is actually a martial art. The water mirror cast by Gao Zhengyang is the most important change in illusion.
Basically, sixty percent of illusions are related to water mirrors.
Comparing with the huge water mirror, Gao Zhengyang re-styled himself. He originally had short hair, but after coming to this world for half a year, his hair has grown a little.
However, men in this world have the habit of growing their hair. Gao Zhengyang's head shape is still a bit eye-catching.
Following the customs, Gao Zhengyang urged Yuan Li, and his hair quickly grew to the position of the shawl. Bai Ling helped Gao Zhengyang comb a high bun and hold it with an ebony hairpin.
Gao Zhengyang changed into a light yellow linen coat, mango shoes, and held a fire dragon to whisk the dust, so he had a bit of the style of a master.
Bai Ling also changed into a Taoist child's costume, holding the Hanjiang sword, looking handsome and cute.
The two of them simply dressed up, and there was a huge difference from their original image.
When Gao Zhengyang and Bai Ling entered the city, they were led to the side door to enter because of their extraordinary bearing. I didn't even pay the entrance fee.
This world treats the strong extremely favorably, even if it is Gao Zhengyang's unknown cultivator, he can get enough respect.
The guards guarding the door also enthusiastically showed Gao Zhengyang the way, telling him that the most famous old Ping'an store in the city, which claimed to have not had an accident for hundreds of years, was particularly safe and reliable. And the living conditions are also exceptional.
Gao Zhengyang took Bai Ling into the city smoothly and asked for an independent courtyard in Ping'an Old Store. This kind of independent room is actually not large, but the room is divided into three rooms, and there is a small atrium. There is plenty of privacy.
Of course, the price is also very luxurious, one or two silver a day. This cost is enough for ordinary people to eat for half a year.
Gao Zhengyang was rich, and he robbed a few more people, and he had more than 2,000 taels of gold alone. At this level, there is no pressure at all.
The young man took Gao Zhengyang and Bai Ling to the small courtyard, diligently fetched water and wiped it, and cleaned the inside and outside of the room.
Gao Zhengyang gave the young man a small piece of broken silver, which was about six or seven dollars. The little guy was happy, and his face was about to bloom with laughter.
"Master Dao, you must have come to participate in the Yancheng Sword Meeting, right?"
The young man received the reward money, and he talked even more, "However, the sword club will be a month away, so you can come early enough." ”
"What will the Yancheng Sword be?" Bai Ling was very curious, she didn't know that there was such a thing.
"You don't know?"
Seeing that Bai Ling didn't know, the young man explained enthusiastically.
The Yancheng Sword Club was originally just a competition within Yancheng, but with the expansion of Yancheng's influence, the Yancheng Sword Club became more and more grand.
In the past few years, there have even been masters who have rushed over from thousands of miles away to participate, just to make a name for themselves in the Yancheng Sword Meeting.
"So many people come to participate, just to make a name for themselves?" Bai Ling was a little unconvinced, this world area is extremely closed, Yancheng is famous, and it is useless outside Yancheng.
"Of course, it's not just about fame. ”
The young man lowered his voice as he spoke, and looked left and right mysteriously before saying, "It is said that there will be a sect of cultivation to come and select disciples." As long as you perform well, you can join a powerful sect and become an immortal!"
"And this kind of thing?"
Bai Ling's face was suspicious, although she didn't say it directly, her expression was already expressing her strong suspicion.
The young man felt insulted, he was a little unhappy and a little aggrieved and said, "How dare I lie to you, this is Yancheng's open secret." Otherwise, how could those outsiders rush to participate? ”
"I don't know which sects they are?" Bai Ling asked.
"It is said that there are the Cloud Light Sect, the Heart Sword Sect, and the Iron Armor Sect......"
The young man is a native of the country, and he has been a buddy here for two years, so he knows a lot of all kinds of messy news. He is well-informed.
Hearing the Heart Sword Sect, Bai Ling's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at Gao Zhengyang. Gao Zhengyang flew all the way here, and he must have known about it for a long time.
"Thank you. ”
Gao Zhengyang casually threw a small piece of broken silver to the young man, "I don't like to be disturbed, don't tell outsiders about us." Besides, if there is any big thing, please let me talk about it. ”
The young man rarely encountered such a high-roller who made a big move, and he was overjoyed, and took the silver and said yes.
Waiting for the young man to leave, Bai Ling squinted at Gao Zhengyang and said, "Did you already know about the Yancheng Sword Society, so you came here?"
"I know, otherwise why would I have traveled so far? Gao Zhengyang also knew the secrets of the Yancheng Sword Society from the map, and it was also marked that there would be participation from the East China Sea Cultivation Sect.
Judging from Jiaojiao's map, Yancheng is actually not far from the East China Sea. Of course, the East China Sea on that map is very simple, and a line is drawn at the edge of the map, on which is written the East China Sea.
There is only a small part of the record of the East China Sea on the map, saying that there are countless powerful demon beasts in the East China Sea, which are extremely dangerous.
Gao Zhengyang didn't know the specific situation of the Yancheng Sword Society, but with the participation of the East China Sea Sect, it was always right to take a look.
When he heard the name of the Heart Sword Sect from the little guy, Gao Zhengyang was also very happy. With such an opportunity, it will save the toss.
Going directly to the East China Sea to find the Heart Sword Sect is actually the best policy. At least you have to figure out the basic situation of the Heart Sword Sect before making a decision.
Of course, Bai Ling knew about the Heart Sword Sect, and that token belonged to their Bai family. It's a pity that the sect attaches great importance to bloodline. Aliens who enter the sect are looking for death.
Bai Ling questioned: "Then you don't say it, I still worry about you every day......!
"You didn't ask. ”
Gao Zhengyang saw Bai Ling's crying, although he knew that this was a trick that the fox spirit was used to, he could only comfort: "I don't know the details, and it's a stroke of luck to come over." ”
He then warned, "The matter of the Heart Sword Sect, don't go out and inquire around. It's easy to go wrong. ”
Bai Ling asked puzzledly, "What can go wrong?"
"You look pretty smart!"
Gao Zhengyang was a little speechless and said, "You should be called Bai!"
"Bai Mei?" Bai Ling was a little puzzled, but she had an intuition that it was not a good word.
"If others want to join the sect, they have to work hard to fight for life and death. You know, we have a token in our hands that can directly enter the sect, what do you think they will do?"
Gao Zhengyang asked.
Bai Ling suddenly realized: "The human race is the most despicable, shameless and vicious, and will definitely use all kinds of methods to rob it. ”
"yes, that's it. ”
Gao Zhengyang said: "So, don't go out and ask." ”
Bai Ling couldn't help but say: "Then you can't just wait, you have to ask about the situation before you can do things." ”
"Don't worry, there is always a suitable channel in such a big place. ”
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while and advised: "This old store is not ordinary, since we have moved in, we should be more careful." ”
This kind of hundreds of years old store must be protected by a powerful force behind it. The hotel is also the most convenient place to collect information, and if you live here, you will inevitably be known.
Gao Zhengyang is not afraid that others will know him, as long as he doesn't mess around, there should be no trouble.
In fact, just as Gao Zhengyang expected. In the evening, the news about Gao Zhengyang's stay reached the Yan family.
Yan Yu is the third daughter of the head of the Yan family, because she is a woman, although she is also extraordinary, she is not suitable for showing her head after all. At the Yan family, he was responsible for handling all kinds of intelligence news.
The old Ping An store was opened by their Yan family, and one of the important responsibilities is to monitor the masters. A figure like Gao Zhengyang naturally has to be reported separately.
Yan Yu flipped through the note, which wrote that Gao Zhengyang, twenty-four or five, with profound facial features and extraordinary bearing. Suspected of being a sixth-order or above master. This seems to have come specifically for the Yancheng Sword Society.
"Sixth-Order ......"
Yan Yu pondered for a moment, made a red annotation, and ordered Ping An Laodian to pay attention to this person's movements.
Yan Yu has been practicing since he was a child, and he has been instructed by a famous teacher, and even entered the sect to practice for a period of time. Until now, it's only the sixth order.
She deeply knew how rare it was for a young sixth-order master.
In the next few days, the news from Ping An Lao Store every day was extremely simple: it was closed, silent all day long.
After more than ten days of this, Yan Yu also became a little interested.
Yancheng is a rare prosperous and prosperous place, as far as Yan Yu knows, it should be the most prosperous city in the entire southeast region. Gao Zhengyang, a young foreigner, came to Yancheng but did not go out for tours, which is actually very abnormal.
Even if you don't like to eat, drink and have fun, you must always see the customs and people of Yancheng. I didn't come here in vain.
If it's an old man, he has no interest or energy, and it's barely said in the past.
A young man like Gao Zhengyang can not go out for more than ten days, but this kind of patience is a bit terrifying.
Yan Yu was not in a hurry to see the other party, after all, Gao Zhengyang didn't act too unexpectedly. But she happened to encounter a problem, so she thought of taking this opportunity to get to know each other.
If Gao Zhengyang can help solve the problem, she has to make good friends with each other. If Gao Zhengyang refuses, then when the Yancheng Sword Club comes, he will naturally have to make a few big pits for him.
Yan Yu was very mobile, and he took a few entourages to visit Gao Zhengyang in person that morning.
Bai Ling, who opened the door, was also a little surprised when he saw Yan Yu. This woman was wearing a cyan gown, holding a folding fan in her hand, and she was very chic with a smile, like a handsome boy.
But she didn't hide her feminine figure, and the flowing and soft kaftan outlined her figure. The green shirt flutters lightly in the wind, and you can even see the smooth calves under the green shirt.
Bai Ling has never seen such a woman in clothes. But I have to say that this chic and sexy look is very special.
Bai Ling bowed slightly: "I don't know what is the matter with you?"
Yan Yu folded the fan, nodded slightly, and said: "I am Yan Yu of the Yan family, I know that your master is a master, and I take the liberty to visit, please don't be surprised." ”
She asked again, "I wonder if your master is here?"
Bai Ling instinctively hated this woman, she felt that Yan Yu was even more annoying than Jiaojiao. Although Jiaojiao is dissolute, she is very generous in temperament.
The woman in front of her looked like a man dressed up, but she looked scheming. In Gao Zhengyang's words, it's a scheming!
But everyone is here, and Bai Ling is not qualified to drive people away. She could only invite Yan Yu in, and shouted loudly: "Master, there is a distinguished guest visiting." ”
Gao Zhengyang sat in the bedroom inside, staring and pondering. He didn't go out for the past ten days, not pretending to be mysterious, but studying the fire dragon dust.
This magic weapon is the strongest magic weapon in his hand now, because the remnants of the old Taoist spirit in yellow have escaped, and the corresponding method can also be obtained.
However, after all, there is no real spiritual wisdom in magic weapons.
It took Gao Zhengyang a few days to completely refine the remnant soul of the fire snake in the fire dragon dust. To be honest, the strength of this fire snake is relatively rough, and the soul is too different from that of a dragon.
Gao Zhengyang thought of the several dragon souls that the Dragon Emperor Halberd once had, and in comparison, he felt that the fire dragon was miserable.
It's just that he is in an embarrassing situation now, and it would be good to use it. If you really give him a dragon soul, I'm afraid that you won't be able to refine it.
Gao Zhengyang was not proficient in the spells of the Burning Sun Gate, but by re-refining the fire dragon dust, he had a systematic understanding of the Burning Sun spells.
The fire snake that was sacrificed again was also injected with a little bit of true dragon momentum by Gao Zhengyang. Although it was only Gao Zhengyang's anthropomorphic divine sense, for the fire snake, it was an essential transformation.
Originally, the fire snake was about the eighth order, but after refining it into dust, its power fell to the seventh order. Gao Zhengyang's divine sense was personified, and the power of the fire snake returned to the eighth order, and reached the peak of the eighth order.
The power of this kind of magic weapon depends entirely on the level of the instrument spirit. Gao Zhengyang fiddled like this, and the power of the fire dragon dust whisk increased by more than ten times.
Bai Ling's throat woke Gao Zhengyang from his state of concentration.
Gao Zhengyang sensed Yan Yu's breath, and probably knew that there was nothing good about this woman. At least not to send x to the door.
Gao Zhengyang walked out of the bedroom, swept the dust, and arched his hand and said: "I didn't know that the VIP was coming, and I couldn't welcome him from afar, and atone for my sins." ”
Yan Yu looked Gao Zhengyang up and down, and nodded secretly, sure enough, it was extraordinary and charming.
She smiled and returned the salute: "I am Yan Yu of the Yan family, I know that the master is here, so I specially came to visit ......"
The rivers and lakes are polite, everyone is very skilled. Standing there politely, everyone sat down as guests.
Yan Yu was eloquent, and soon became warm with Gao Zhengyang.
After chatting for half an hour, Yan Yu turned to the topic, "When we met for the first time, it was a bit abrupt to say this. But I had a good conversation with my brother, so I won't hide it from you. ”
Yan Yu's bright eyes looked at Gao Zhengyang eagerly and said, "This time, I actually have something to ask for, and I ask Brother Gao to help me......"
