Tongzhou area, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, belongs to the land of fish and rice, although the land annexation has been extremely serious, after all, everyone can still live, the southwest area, but because of the drought for several years, has long been a miserable situation.

The Longyan Lake riot, which was finally suppressed last year, was caused by natural disasters in the capital, which made people who found excuses set off a wave again. And this time, because of the "warning from heaven", the imperial court has no courage to regain the previous brutal suppression, should it continue to send troops to forcibly suppress it, or hurry up to "punish and morality, and go to heaven with things"? The officials in the court were caught in a meaningless dispute, and in the two months they were arguing, the riots that had reappeared again were spreading rapidly, and had spread to Shizhou, Huizhou, and Fengzhou, and some things were getting more and more intense.

In Ning Jiang's memory, in the previous life, the smoke and dust of the seven roads in the southwest that would not appear again until the collapse of Emperor Wenxing broke out in advance, taking advantage of the opportunity of the meteorite smashing the capital.

Even so, that's not something he can take care of now, or rather, it doesn't matter to him if he explodes, anyway, he either dies in silence or explodes in silence.

Chun Jianli, who came to the place where the Ning family brothers and sisters were born and raised for the first time, was very curious, and she also wanted to know, what kind of water and soil can raise a bastard like Ning Jiang? But after two days here, she was disappointed, because the place didn't look very peculiar.

No matter how you look at it, Ningjiang, who used to live here, was just an ordinary rural rich man?

Later, the Ning brothers and sisters took her to the Little Parrot Island and entered the Little Sui Hou Palace.

Ning Jiang didn't actually have any nostalgia for his so-called hometown, and if he hadn't been preparing to go south in the first place, he wouldn't even plan to return here. It's just that if you want to go to Jiangnan, then you can simply go home, and the main purpose is to take out these jewels from the palace of the Marquis of Xiao Sui and transfer them to Qinchuan Wuyi, so that they can be used as the development funds of the Heaven and Earth Society.

No matter how the world changes, "having money is easy to do", this is not easy after all.

shirked all entertainment, and basically didn't care about Gao Suo Ning's things, just like two years ago, when he was almost robbed of his family property, no one wanted to stand on his side, and now everyone is coming over together, kneeling and licking their brothers and sisters, in the final analysis, it's just a trend of inflammation. After quietly transporting the treasures in the palace of the Marquis of Xiao Sui and transferring them to the Heaven and Earth Society through Qinchuan Wuyi, Ning Jiang took Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli to leave Linjiang County again, but this time, they went south.

In this way, they crossed the boundary of Huizhou, turned southwest, and entered Chizhou......

***

Huizhou and Chizhou are real water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are many mountains and little water, and there are pastoral cottages everywhere, with beautiful scenery, compared with other places, they are much richer.

However, further south, it gradually approaches the Yueling...... That is, "South Ridge", the mountains gradually increased, and there were barren mountains and wild mountains everywhere. South Vietnam and North Barbarians, a long time ago, the Yueling area, and Xiling in general, the same everywhere are poisonous insects and beasts, the miasma extends, the Baiyue who live here, and the barbarians in the north, are all belonging to the people outside the country, but now, the Yueling area has basically been developed, although there are still some mountains high Emperor Far away, but the imperial court's control of this place, has far exceeded Xiling, Beiluo and other places, and the so-called "Yue people" have long disappeared in the dust of history, and ordinary Chinese people are no different, or say, He has long been a part of the people of China.

Compared with the other world known by Ningjiang, the "Yueling" in this world is very different from the Wuling in the other world in terms of topography, and the "Lingnan" in this world usually refers to the south of Xiling, and geographically speaking, it is almost the Guangxi and Vietnam areas of the other world...... Of course, such a comparison doesn't make much sense.

Chenzhou, outside the city of Chengfeng County, somewhere in the mountains.

A girl dressed in red held a bow in her hand, she took a pose, opened the bow, and shot five arrows in succession at the trees twenty paces away. After ejaculating, she lowered her arms and gasped softly.

Next to her, a girl in an autumn-scented corset blouse applauded, "Jianli is amazing." ”

Another young man wearing a green shirt and a pimu on his head was speechless: "Didn't you say that your archery skills are very good?" This is your archery? It's just a mess, okay? ”

The girl in the autumn fragrant corset skirt said, "But brother, she shot five arrows in a row?" ”

The boy said, "Don't you see that she is panting so hard now?" Even the waist began to bend, it was obvious that the arm was sore, the breathing was short, and the heartbeat was obviously rapid, but it was like this after shooting five arrows, where was the power? ”

The girl in red said angrily: "At least I shot all five arrows." ”

"So what?" The young man said disdainfully, "You are a wild road at all, and there are poems as evidence: the shooting is noble, and the crotch is wide and the chest is relaxed." Five flat and three rely on its sect, based on the weight of a thousand catties. Open to be serene and elegant, and let go to pause calmly. The phoenix eye of the back fist is the most abundant, and it can be achieved only by concealing it steadily. You can't even do the first sentence of 'shoot your noble shape and be upright', straighten up and open the bow, your head is crooked first, your waist is not lower, how can your chest be comfortable? If the chest is uncomfortable, how can the qi be flat? Others open the bow, both hands are like opening the door, but where are you opening the bow, it is clearly relying on brute force to pull hard, the whole posture is not right, that is, relying on that point of internal force to twist, after five arrows, how can the heart not beat? How to breathe without panting? How can hands not be sore? Fortunately, you usually only use a sword and no bow, and if you come a few more times, I'm afraid that the whole person will become a crooked melon and a rotten date. ”

The girl in red said angrily: "If you say it, you will say, you have the ability to shoot?" ”

The young man said: "Hey, I'm a scholar......"

The girl in red crossed her waist with a bow: "Since you can't shoot, then who are you going to show this style of pointing the country?" ”

The boy laughed, "What if I can't shoot?" Do people who eat scrambled eggs have to lay their own eggs? Haven't you ever eaten pork and seen a pig walking? ”

"You're a pig, your whole family is a pig."

"Xiaomeng, she even scolded you."

The girl in the autumn-colored corset skirt pulled out the sword diagonally at her waist and sneered: "Hmph! ”

The girl in red held a bow and walked around the other girl: "Come out, you come out for me, don't always hide behind your sister, you come out - I will not beat you!" ”

A man and two women are playing and making trouble there, on the mountainside in the distance, a team of carriages slowly moves along the road around the mountain, the road in the mountainous area is often in the mountains and down the mountain to make trouble, and then for the two county towns that are close to each other, it usually takes a lot of time to arrive, unlike the large land commonly known as the "Jiangnan Water Town" in the north of the mountain and the south of the Changhe, the waterway alone extends in all directions.

The carriage stopped on the road to rest, and a young man in a Taoist robe stood on the steep cliff wall by the roadside, looking at a man and two women playing in the mountains and fields below. The young man was young and handsome, and the two girls who were at most cardamom years were as charming as flowers. First, the girl in red, the girl in the autumn fragrant skirt, chased the boy with a short bow, making trouble, somehow, and became two girls around the boy, you chase me, play and make trouble, like a butterfly flying in the sky, and it has become the most beautiful scenery between the barren mountains and mountains.

Beside the young Taoist, an old man in his fifties said with a smile: "Actually playing in this kind of place, it seems that it is about a rich son or a famous daughter who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, and after learning a little martial arts, he really thinks that he can break into the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to think about it, even if the water town in the north is it, what kind of place is this?" Where the poor mountains and bad waters are, bandits are rampant, and if you accidentally encounter a bandit and a thief who comes out to commit peace, don't you pity the two girls who are like flowers and jade? “

The young Taoist smiled: "There is probably a history, right?" If it is really a famous faction in the martial arts, report a name, at least those villages around here do not dare to provoke easily. He added: "That young man doesn't seem to know martial arts, is he a scholar?" ”

The old man was well-informed, looked at it for a while, and nodded: "I'm afraid it's a fallen talent, those two girls have some foundations, but looking at their age, and their delicate and tender appearance, I'm afraid they can't be any stronger, maybe they have just entered the stream, right?" You see, the young man just dodged to the side, and the girl in red couldn't even catch it. ”

Behind them, the others also smiled and pointed, although it was between the poor mountains and bad waters, it was a pleasing thing to see such a charming two girls after all, that is, the young man who was going around by them was more or less an eyesore, so that they wanted to drive him away and replace him themselves.

The young man is naturally Ning Jiang, the girl in the autumn fragrant breast-length skirt is his sister Xiaomeng, and the girl in the red skirt is Chun Jianli.

In the midst of the fighting, they continued to the next county seat. Although they were supposed to take a horse-drawn carriage, they had also figured out that if they took a horse-drawn carriage between the county seat they came to and the next county seat, it would take more than half a day to constantly go around the mountains and rivers, and if they took the path provided by the mountain people, it would actually be about that much time. And in the carriage, you have to be crowded with other people, and you don't have such freedom, so I simply asked the mountain people for the way, and I went on the road like this.

A small river stood in front of them, but there were already mountain people who lined up the big rocks and paved the rudimentary wooden bridges. They walked along the wooden bridge, and further on, there was a cliff, but on this cliff, it was almost perpendicular to the ground, so steep that it could not be steeper, because this cliff, horses could not climb it, otherwise they could have saved a lot of time by riding.

And the mountain man who pointed the way, in fact, did not recommend them to take this road, just this section of the cliff, he did not think that a son like them and a young lady could climb it.

Ning Jiang looked at Chun Jianli.

Harun Li's eyes glared at him...... Me again?

Ning Jiang made a gesture of please...... I'm a reader!

Chun Jianli had no choice but to bend down with her back to him, and Ning Jiang lay on top of her with a smile...... There are also benefits to being a reader.

Chun Jianli took him directly to the cliff with "Fire Cloud Vertical", and behind them, Xiaomeng chased up along the steep path like a nimble rabbit. Putting down the boy on his back, Chun Jianli muttered: "Why is my brother and sister so different?" ”

The young man smiled: "That's because I didn't practice martial arts, if I practiced martial arts, I would definitely be better than you." ”

Chun Jianli said: "Tut-tut-tut......"

The young man spread his hands and said: "I dare to say that I will definitely surpass you if I learn martial arts, do you dare to say that you can also be admitted to the top of the exam in literature?" That's what you do. ”

"Hmph, braggart doesn't make drafts." looked at Ning Xiaomeng, "He said that he would be more powerful than us in martial arts, do you believe it?" ”

Xiaomeng tilted his head and grinned: "He's my brother!" ”

The girl in red clenched her hands into fists and jumped to her feet: "Your brother is amazing?" ”

Before I knew it, it became a fight where you chased me again.

They had passed through the wilderness, ascended the avenue, and walked a little further, when another wagon came from behind. The carriage led by the leader slowed down, and on the carriage, a young man smiled: "The three of you are going to the county seat ahead?" If you don't like it, let us give you a ride. ”

The three of them had originally saved the idea of finding a chance to take a ride here, but at this moment they were already on the road, there was no shortcut to copy, if they only walked, they would have to walk for another hour to the county seat, since someone took the initiative to invite, they naturally did not refuse.

Inviting them was a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a bun on his head, and this group, about a dozen people, all of them were equipped with swords, but they didn't look like bad people.

There were four carriages, each carrying a wooden box, and a purple flag gun was inserted in the cart, and the small triangular flag had a pattern of yin and yang fish.

Ning Jiang just glanced at it, and he already recognized that this was the symbol of the Taoist Ziyang Enlightenment True Sect.

Ziyang Wuzhen Sect, in the Yueling area is also a famous Taoist sect, the Taoist priests in this world, in addition to the rise in the capital, but the Quanqing faction that was destroyed, in fact, can marry wives and have children, the Yueling area, is the most prosperous place of Taoism, the various sects are numerous, but they jointly respect the Zhengyi Sect as the Taoist sect. And to maintain the livelihood of a sect, the merchants and darts, alchemy and talismans, fasting and straightforward practices, and even pretending to be gods and ghosts...... Naturally, it is inevitable.

These people are obviously in the business of darts.

In fact, when they were on the road just now, Ning Jiang, Xiaomeng, and Jianli had already seen this team, and this team had obviously seen them as well, but now they happened to meet them on the road, and this young Taoist priest invited them by the way...... (To be continued.) )
