The next day, before dawn, Mu Wan came to the outside of Xinghua City.

It's a much bigger oasis here. The city gate is also much more majestic than the city of the West Corridor.

At this time, it was not yet early, and the heavy bluestone gate was closed. However, many caravans had already gathered outside the city gates. There are dozens of camels alone.

Women are still the majority. The few men, young and old, covered their faces with scarves and did not show their true faces.

Mu Wan found a secluded corner, put down the wooden rack of luggage, sat cross-legged, drank water, ate fruits, and replenished his consciousness and spiritual power.

Gu Bai'an lay on the wooden frame, half-squinting, as if he was asleep.

After more than half an hour, the sky was bright. Finally, the gates opened.

People who had already been ready entered the city from the left, accompanied by the melodious sound of camel bells.

On the right, there are also many mermaids coming out.

When the people in the open space were almost gone, Mu Wan picked up the luggage wooden rack again and walked to the left side of the city gate.

At the gate of the city there was a group of soldiers with loads, all of whom were women. They just glanced at Mu Wan indifferently, and they had no intention of stopping them.

Xinghua City is at least the size of ten West Corridor Cities. Happily, Mu Wan finally found the only bookstore in the city, Xinghua Bookstore.

Well, there aren't many books in the shop either. There are two shelves of books next to the east wall, but there are only 100 books. The rest of the place is set up with tables and chairs. If it weren't for the words "Xinghua Bookstore" written on the door plaque, when Mu Wan first came in, he thought he had entered a tea house.

The real thing is rare and expensive. The bookshelves are placed inside the counter. When you enter the store, you will find a place to sit down. I have my own buddies come over to say hello. Explain it to the guy. What kind of book do you want? If there was one, the guy went to the bookshelf and fetched it. If not, there's no need to leave in a hurry, you can discuss it with other guests.

Mu Wan asked the guy: "Are there any books like travelogues?" All over the world, all in the world. ”

Glancing over the wooden luggage rack she had placed on the table, the guy smiled, "Girls like to travel around? Where did it come from? Where do you want to go? ”

Hehe, dude is still very alert. Mu Wan replied, "I'm from the West Corridor." I heard from the merchants who came to me that the outside world was very big, and I wanted to see it. "After spending most of the day in the West Corridor, she learned the accent there.

"The girl is so ambitious." Dude doesn't doubt her. Laughed. "We've got five of them. How many copies does the girl want to take? It costs ten dollars for each book taken. "There are few literate people in Xilang. So, what she actually wants to ask is: Girl, are you literate? If you can't read, don't waste money.

Unexpectedly. Just take a look. Also for money. Mu Wan took out fifty big coins from the big cloth bag. Put it on the table: "Take them all." ”

underestimated this, but he was a master who was not short of money. The man took the money and was even more humble: "Girl, wait a minute. ”

Soon. She returned, carrying five thin books on a big red tray: "If you need pen and ink, you have to pay extra." ”

Mu Wan glanced at the store, and sure enough, many people were struggling to copy books. No wonder you have to charge ten dollars for each copy. It turned out to be possible to copy it on the spot.

"No need. I'll take a look. She waved her hand.

"The girl looks first." The guy put down the tray and left.

The top is "Xinghua City Gazetteer", Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at the bottom. Well, the cover of the bottom one reads "Map of Kangliang".

Overjoyed, she picked it up and flipped through it quickly.

The map is very crudely drawn. However, the general topography of Kangliang Kingdom, all towns are marked.

There are only fourteen pages in total, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Wan finished turning it and memorized it by heart. Three of the remaining four are travelogues. She flipped them all over.

As a result, she really found a useful clue: one of the books called "Traveling to the Nations" mentioned that there is a fairy mountain near the sea in the east soil, named Tianlai Mountain, and the top of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist in all seasons, and it is said that there are immortal traces in ancient times. Therefore, all dynasties of the Eastern Earth have sacrificed to heaven here.

In addition, there are no clues to the cultivation of truth in the three travelogues. Through these books, it was not difficult for her to find that this was a mundane world with few monks, and it was completely out of step with the Taiyi Sect.

"Dongtu, Tianlai Mountain." Mu Wan remembered. She had to go there. However, judging from the "Kangliang Map", it is clear that this is an inland hinterland. It is separated from Tianlai Mountain by thousands of rivers and mountains.

No matter how far away, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go to Tianlai Mountain! Maybe you can find your way back to the sect there!

Calling the man to collect the book, she picked up the wooden luggage rack on her back, first went to the market to buy some ginkgo seeds, and then bought three cowhide water bladders and filled them with water. Still waiting until the sun was in the west, carrying a stick, out of the city gate, and walking east.

With the "Kangliang Map" as a guide, Mu traveled at night and night, all the way east. Twenty-one days later, she finally came to the place where Kang Liang and Tuxia had boundary.

Luckily, in a small border town called Maxiang, she obtained a map of Tuxia from the leader of a caravan.

In terms of customs, Tuxia is a nomadic country that respects women. Tribes are their basic constituent units. The so-called "continuous war" is actually a mutual conquest between various tribes, and it seems that the Tuxia people have become accustomed to it. They are all martial. The female student is tall, powerful, and very strong. And the Tuxia man is also much stronger than the Kang Liangguo man, but he is slightly weaker than the Tuxia woman. Most of them are also good at mounted archery.

In addition, the climatic conditions in Tuxia are much better than those in Kangliang. In the border bazaar, Mu Wan tried many kinds of fruits that she had never seen before, all of which had the effect of replenishing spiritual power. It's just frighteningly expensive.

Also, although the water here is not cold and does not have any sweet taste, it can replenish the divine consciousness after drinking.

In addition to this, the Tuxia people believe in witchcraft. From going out to fight to having a headache and brain fever, they will ask a wizard to do it. Yes, the status of wizards is very high.

Is it a practitioner? Mu Wan deliberately pretended to be a believer, and successively met three wizards who were said to be very effective. As a result, none of the three wizards had any supernatural powers, no spiritual power, and they were not cultivators at all. They only know a little about pharmacology. The so-called "vast supernatural powers" are simply pretending to be gods and ghosts and bluffing people.

Empty rejoicing, Mu Wan took Gu Bai and continued to travel east.

However, the deeper you go into the hinterland of Tuxia, the more difficult it becomes: first, there are many more wild beasts in the grassland than in the desert, and they are also more ferocious; Second, the Tuxia people are belligerent by nature and very xenophobic. Treat people with courtesy and convince people with virtue? Ha, the Tuxia people don't know these two words at all! They have always been convinced by their fists. Anyone who encounters someone who is different from the tribe's costume, with a wild "yo ho", will run out more than a dozen horses in the blink of an eye. Regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, the knights will catch up with them first and fight with them. If the war is won, the man becomes a captive of the tribe, and without paying a large ransom, he does not want to return to freedom; If you can't win the battle, then this person will be invited into the tribe and treated as a guest. The wine is good and the meat is enough, and the beauties are up to you.

In this regard, Gu Bai's evaluation is: born to be beaten, unreasonable, and a madman in a country.

Yes, Mu Wan crossed the Tuxia Kingdom from west to east, almost all the way through. Of course, their point of force value, for a sword cultivator like her, even if the spiritual power is sealed, it is not enough at all.

Because the force value is too high, many of the so-called warriors of the tribe were beaten all over the ground by her bare hands, and they all cried and begged her to stay. The leaders of the tribe are also willing to enshrine him as the "first warrior" - the "first warrior" is second only to the leader in the tribe. has an identity, has status, and is the perfect lover in the hearts of all unmarried men.

The worst thing is that the young men who are dressed up in fancy clothes, that is, the guys who are called "beauties" in the tribe. The eyes they looked at Mu Wan were like syrup made from pure maltose, sticking to her and couldn't move away at all. Obviously, they all look three big and five thick, but they want to be greased and powdered, twisted in various ways, and pretend to be shy.

To be honest, someone was so frightened that he carried Gu Bai on his back, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and fled.

The little fox was also angry to death. When he ran to no one's place, he always muttered all kinds of curses: "Stinky and shameless!" ”

"I've never seen a woman in eight lifetimes!"

"Ugly people are so weird!"

……

It took more than a month, and one person and one fox finally arrived at the border of Tuxia Kingdom.

There was a mountain range on the border that stretched for hundreds of kilometers blocking their way. Because most of the mountain tops are towering into the clouds, covered with ice and snow all the year round, and against the background of the blue sky, they are extraordinarily crystalline, like a huge piece of beautiful jade, so it is called "Jade God Mountain" by the Tuxia people, which means that it is like a jade mountain.

Yujin Mountain is a boundary mountain. To the east of the mountains, was a powerful empire. That is, it is called the country of "Dongtu" in the travelogue.

It is said that it is a magical place, with a vast territory, abundant products, warm as spring all year round, no disease and no hunger. For generations, the Tuxia people have dreamed of one day crossing the Jade God Mountain, and from then on, on the land on the other side of the mountain, herding cattle and sheep, and living a fairy-like life. It's a pity that the Jade God Mountain is too high. Those who can turn over are all "first warrior" like existences.

However, the high Jade God Mountain couldn't stop Mu Wan's footsteps to the east.

It took three days and two nights to climb nine mountains covered with ice and snow one after another.

The water bladder was frozen into ice, and Mu Wan put down the luggage rack at a leeward place on the top of the mountain, sat cross-legged, grabbed a handful of snow, and stuffed it into his mouth. Fortunately, she tried, and the snow on the Jade God Mountain could also replenish her divine sense.

Gu Bai jumped out of the wolf's skin mattress: "Sister Mu, I'll go around the area." ”

Mu Wan nodded: "Don't go far." Come back in half an hour. ”

"Got it."

Mu Wan took out a ginkgo that was frozen like a stone from the big cloth bag and bit it "click".

Half an hour later, Gu Baifei also ran back: "Sister Mu, hurry, there are two people down there." They're all about to freeze into ice sculptures, but there's still air. ”

"Who?" Mu Wan asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Two young men, tied with their backhands, lay flat under an ice cliff. Dressed like a Tuxia person. ”

Mu Wan picked up the wooden luggage rack, got up and said, "Let's go, take me to see." ”
