Section 1: Journey

"Woohoo! Whining! Whining! ”

"Don't cry!" Maybe it was annoyed by the crying of the dog sitting in the carriage, Shao Shiqiu yelled at the car a little angrily, but he felt unbearable, and then said in a slightly calm tone.

"There's a lynx around here!"

Sure enough, the dog stopped crying, he wasn't afraid of any bobcat, in fact, he knew that there was none, but he didn't want to make Shao Shiqiu irritable, he originally thought that he was a human being in two lives, and he shouldn't be so childish, but somehow, when he thought of Dongmen Xue, Monta, and Mao、、、、、 he wanted to cry.

The car was still creaking and jolting on the winding mountain road out, but the road was getting farther and farther, farther and farther away from the red mountain.

On February 16th, a whole month, the two of them went out early and stayed overnight, and when they met the village, they stayed in the hotel, and if they happened to be in the deserted suburbs at night, then they would also spend the night in the carriage.

The dog has already come out of the parting mood, and along the way, in addition to listening to Shao Shiqiu talk about some things related to refining, is to look at the instrument spectrum.

After all, what Guman Academy went to this time was the holy land of the continent's refining world, although he had a recommendation from the refining union and the academy's collection book in his hand, but in case someone wanted to take an exam, he would have a good preparation here.

I have to say that in addition to being an excellent refiner, Shao Shiqiu is also a good handlebar, a mule and horse with a pole, and he is obedient under his whip.

Along the way, I don't know how many big cities and towns they passed, and on this day they got out of the pole and entered Xiaoxitian. Originally, they were supposed to go from Nanye to the Holy Capital and then enter the Zhongdu Continent.

But at present, the south is basically in the hands of the people of the holy capital, and bandits are everywhere, even after the south, the holy capital is not peaceful, where is the most ferocious place in the northern continent where the grain shortage is in the north, I heard that there are also incidents of people eating people.

Based on these, Shao Shiqiu chose to go to Xiaoxitian, although it is a little farther, that is, to walk 10 days and 8 days more, for speed and safety, Shao Shiqiu prefers the latter.

Xiao Xitian is the only country in the Northern Continent that can compete with the Wind and Snow Empire militarily, because it is located on the plateau, the plateau is rich in capture iron, which is the main material for the production of space warehouses and teleportation arrays.

The regime is stable, but there is no chaos in the face of the great famine, and there is nothing to do all the way.

On March 29th, he left the Xiaoxi Heaven and Earth Realm and entered the outer edge of the Zhongdu Continent - the Sea of Nothingness.

The Sea of Nothingness is not actually a real ocean, it is a belt of air that looks like clouds and mist, and because it looks like an ocean from a distance, it is called the Sea of Nothingness.

The clouds circled around the Zhongdu Continent entirely, so no matter which direction they came from the continent, they would pass through the Sea of Nothingness.

According to Shao Shiqiu, the Zhongdu Continent is much larger than the Northern Continent, there are hundreds of countries, each of which is not smaller than the size of the Shatu Tribe. How big should this cloud be? ”

Shao Shiqiu was very happy to see that the dog had never seen the world, and then said with a look that I know everything in the world, "That's still big?" The South Heavenly Gate of the Southern Continent is dozens of times larger than this! ”

"Master! Have you been to Nantianmen? "The dog looked like you were so good and asked Shao Shiqiu.

Shao Shiqiu touched his nose, "Drive!" Drive! Drive! Drive! The whip was thrown on the mule and horse, and the cart was much faster.

Looking at Shao Shiqiu's appearance, the dog held back the curiosity in his heart and didn't ask again.

You can't use a horse-drawn carriage to enter the Sea of Nothingness, you have to wait for a means of transportation called a cloud boat. The cloud boat is a kind of car pulled by a primitive beast called a parrot, and a cloud boat is generally pulled by four level 6 meter parrot primitive beasts, which is actually a hanging.

Of course, larger cloud boats sometimes have 12 or more cockatoos hanging around.

On the outskirts of the Sea of Nothingness there were many merchants who bought merchants' horses and wagons. Of course, you can also keep it for you temporarily, and a certain storage fee will be charged.

Shao Shiqiu looked very sophisticated, found a buyer, sold the van and mules and horses, and then took the dog to a restaurant called Xuhai to stay.

The restaurant is not too magnificent, but it is not bad, with two floors above and below, and the courtyard is clean.

As soon as Gou Er and Shao Shiqiu walked into the hall of the restaurant, they heard two people shouting "What?" Twenty gold coins for one night! ”,

"Guest! Is this the Sea of Nothingness? ”

"That's too bad, I just had a mule and a carriage, iron to the ground! Carved! Only 80 credits? 、、、、 20 gold coins for your night? ”

"Guest! Is this the Sea of Nothingness? "The account office behind the counter is still the same.

"Hey! This is clearly a pit! ”

The shopkeeper didn't speak, only heard the crackling sound of abacus beads, and just when the resentful people were about to leave, they heard the people at the counter say again, "There is death in the sea of nothingness at night, and if you don't sleep in the open air, you will die!" ”。

"Here you go! Cowardly! The guest threw a money bag towards the counter.

"Whoa! Crash! Crash! Objective! You've got four more copper coins! ”

The guest said angrily, "Give you the land!" ”

"Crackling! Cracking sound! Cracking sound! The bookkeeper was busy with the work at hand, and handed a room number to the guest.

The guest turned around to leave, but Shao Shiqiu hurriedly chased after him, "This master!" Excuse me! How much did you say your mule van sold? ”

"Why do you want to buy it?" The guest turned his head and looked at Shao Shiqiu angrily.

"No, no! Ask? While talking to the other party, Shao Shiqiu put a chair in the hall under the other party, and saw that it meant that you were sitting!

The guest looked at the chair and his tone softened slightly, "Huang Yaoren? ”

"Yes! Huang Yaoluo water! ”

"I, the south and the north Kezi Mansion, hey this ball place, my iron bucket, hollowed, pole on mules and horses, a pair" The guest paused, swallowed and continued, "80 silver coins!" ”

"Ahh Shao Shiqiu patted his head and was about to get up.

The voice without the slightest emotion floated out of the counter again: "If you break the contract and withdraw the contract, you will be punished!" 100 gold! ”

Shao Shiqiu pretended to beat his back, but it also seemed natural.

The guests also saw that this master was cheated, and it was estimated that he was worse than himself, "You sold less?" How much? ”

Without waiting for Shao Shiqiu to speak, the dog honestly interjected "30、、、、" Shao Shiqiu was unhappy, and the dog limped the tip of his tongue, "Silver, gold coins!" ”

"Flutter!" The counter burst into laughter at the same time as the guests.

The shop fee of the Xuhai House is really ridiculously expensive, and the dog and Shao Shiqiu paid 40 gold coins.

But the food is okay, more expensive than Huang Yao, Xiao Xitian, but it is still reasonable, the guest and the dog are neighbors, and Shao Shiqiu and the other party will be familiar with each other after a while.

I heard that the other party said that he went to Zhongdu to join his relatives, and now Huang Yaonan is also not very peaceful by the people of Shengdu, everyone is having a hard time, last year, the family was slaughtered by the people of Shengdu, and he happened to have a relative in the capital, and he came after selling his land this year.

The dog hid in the room alone and meditated, and he couldn't intervene in the affairs of the adults, and he didn't say that he was young and Liu Qingshan had a temper, the two of them were like autumn, running the train with their mouths full, and they couldn't get someone off the stage if they were not careful, so they had to stay at home alone.

The cloud boat is not every day, and I haven't come to one for three days, and the store money of 40 gold coins a day makes Shao Shiqiu feel distressed.

The guest in the hotel is called Wang Shiwei, Wang Shiwei ran out of money the next day, and he was cushioned in the autumn of the past two days.

The two of them came upside down, as long as Shao Shiqiu was standing, Wang Shiwei would immediately find a chair for him, every time Shao Shiqiu gave him an advance, Wang Shiwei would thank him a thousand times, and promised that he would definitely find relatives to return the money when he arrived, and once he also shed a few tears, if it wasn't for Shao Shiqiu's quick hands, the other party would have knelt down.

Time began to become unbearable, Shao Shiqiu was really distressed about the cost of 60 gold coins on this day, in his words, the 60 gold coins were gone when his eyes were opened, and the 60 gold coins were gone when his eyes were closed.

Wang Shiwei is not having a good time, he follows Shao Shiqiu every day, the chair and bench are waiting, and when Shao Shiqiu coughs, he has to say that the old brother has courage, and he also says that he farts, and the old brother is Tongtai.

On the fourth day, I finally waited for a cloud boat, and the boarding fee was 1,000 gold coins!

Hearing the 1,000 gold coins, Shao Shiqiu coughed, and Wang Shiwei immediately said, "Young brother has courage!" Rare 、、、、、、"

"Brother Wang! Is it really gone this time? There are only 2000 left! Shao Shiqiu interrupted Wang Shiwei's words and took out a money bag containing 2,000 gold coins.

"Oh! 、、、、”

There were not many people on board, only 16 people, the dog and Shao Shiqiu got on the cloud boat, the dog saw that there was no one around, and said to Shao Shiqiu in an inquiring tone, "That person is really pitiful, or don't give 、、、、、"

"Give what? I don't believe it! A person who can sell mules and horses for 80 silver coins does not know how much a cloud ship costs? Shao Shiqiu interrupted the dog's words and said a little indignantly.

"But if it'、、、、、、、" didn't wait for the dog to finish.

"Big brother! Big brother! At the entrance of the cloud boat, Wang Shiwei waved his hand to Shao Shiqiu.
