On the table, there is a stack of pickles, a bowl of clear soup and little water, two yellow-brown multigrain steamed buns, together are less than the size of a palm, and there are pieces of bran embedded in the thick pores, chewed in the mouth, and the rough and distinct particles rub against the mouth, which is really not a delicacy, but it is enough to fill Chu Qi's empty stomach.

Chu Qi took the clear soup in the bowl, blew a breath, rinsed his mouth, took out a "Purification Spell" from his arms, and said, "Since you don't receive money, this talisman will be given to you." ”

The old man bowed and asked, "Master Dao, is this ......?"

"This is a blessing of peace, which can be carried close to the body, which can prevent evil spirits and ghosts, and keep you safe. ”

The old man was elated for a while, bowed to the ground, spread his hands, raised them above his head, Chu Qi put the talisman paper into his hand, he trembled and held the talisman in the palm of his hand, the old hand with a rough crack did not dare to exert force, nor did he dare to carry it in his arms, so he dragged it in vain.

"Thank you Daoye, thank you Daoye, the small one kowtowed to you, the small one kowtowed to you......" The forehead folded into a sand skin touched the sandy land with a "bang" sound, and the old man smiled with a smile on his face, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, which were stained with black oil and smoke stains.

Chu Qi sighed secretly, which people don't want to live and work in peace and contentment, peace and joy, or maybe the only thing they can pursue.

Chu Qi borrowed the old man's water tank, fetched some water, washed up, and finally showed some "Taoist master" appearance, and then went to the west entrance.

Along the two rows of tall Masson pines all the way to the east, this road is straight and wide, and the shallow grass and low shrubs on both sides seem to be artificially pruned, which should be an official road. The soft and hard land is covered with dense footprints of people or animals, as well as intertwined ruts.

Several groups of caravan convoys slowly passed by Chu Qi, all of them were six batches of horses pulling a huge board cart, which was loaded with huge grain sacks, and there were also large and small heavy wooden boxes, and there was a man in a strong suit at each corner of each car, carrying a long sword cross-body, his eyes were shining, and there was wind under his feet. At first glance, when he saw Chu Qi alone, he didn't pay attention to it, but seeing that he was dressed in a gray and white robe, his hair was combed, and the guards quietly put their hands on the sword. Chu Qi felt several hot eyes on the other side, and couldn't help but stop, smiling, neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes and the other party did not shy away, watching the convoy slowly leave, before continuing to move forward.

After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw the high wall of the city tower, a pair of blue flags were placed on both sides, drumming up and down, and the left side of it was written: "the same source and the same flow", and the right was: "one track and the same wind". Seeing this, Chu Qi couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and touched his nose. Tens of thousands of years ago, the current Zhongyuan royal family is the actual unifier of the Zhongzhou continent, following the first year of the godsend, the various avenues and gates are full of flowers and hundreds of schools of thought, and the major families supported under it have gradually formed a state of separation through struggle and power changes, and even changed the dynasty, forming a situation in which the eight Junmen dominate the eight countries and the ancient imperial family to control the Zhongyuan. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and looking at this "same source and common flow, one track and the same wind", we know that the desire of the royal family to unify Zhongzhou has never been extinguished.

Several officers and soldiers on the city tower stood solemnly in cyan armor and steel spears in their hands. On the huge orange and yellow heavy door, tightly closed, there are dense huge willow nails embedded on it, and on the archway is written the huge two words "West Exit".

"Anyone dares to stop it, do you know whose goods this is?"

"I don't need to know whose goods it is. The city lord has an order, unless he is above the Daojun, he must pass from the sky, and we can't control it. But to go from here, you have to keep the rules of the city. After speaking, the officers and soldiers defending the city patted a piece of white paper and black letters on the cyan city wall, which was covered with a big red official seal.

Chu Qi heard it from the side, and secretly wondered in his heart, why did he need to be above the Dao Monarch to live from the sky. Above the Daojun, he stepped on the void and flew away, which is common sense. However, there are countless flying imperial weapons, talismans or exercises, even if they hide their figures, they can hide the wind and enter things, and the officers and soldiers here say so, thinking that there must be a master behind them, so that under the Taoist monarch, they all want to enter without passing through the city gate.

"Hmph, just give you some silver taels, and you have to take a cut from the supplies, you are so bold......" The man in the strong suit who spoke pulled the officers and soldiers who defended the city.

The faces of the officers and soldiers changed, and they scolded: "What are you doing!?", and several guards on the side picked up their weapons and pointed their spears at the man in strong suits.

The man grabbed the officers and soldiers by their necks, took out a token from his arms, and quietly handed it to the officers and soldiers. The officer and soldier glanced at it, and then he was shocked, and his right hand holding the spear loosened, and his knees weakened, as if he was about to kneel, and the man made a secret effort, took it with him, stopped castration, and looked desperately on his face, signaling that his identity should not be revealed.

On the other side, Chu Qi's ears listened to the movement, and his eyes swept over the notice on the cyan city wall, and he roughly understood its meaning. Now the whole city at the west entrance is under martial law, you can go out but not enter, you need to bring customs clearance documents and Zhongyuan local commuting permit documents to enter the city, like Chu Qi to go to the meeting alone, not to mention customs clearance documents, not to mention Shilaozi permission documents. Moreover, those who enter the city need to pay 20% of the materials, and do not accept gold and silver goods, and the value of other types of materials will be transferred to grain for additional payment.

It is very interesting to just accept grain and grass materials, why should you be under martial law throughout the whole process, and you are not allowed to enter. Even if he raises food and grass for some reason, regardless of whether he has a written permit or not, shouldn't the more people enter the city as possible, and besides, there are masters in charge, so why not be afraid of breaking the law and disorder and disturbing the people. It seems that there must be a hidden secret.

The west entrance is more than ten miles away from the Shuangliu Village where Chu Qi left, the two big rivers can pass next to each other on both sides of the city, the river is surging angrily, still going to the east, looking back and not seeing the bridge and the land, if you want to cross the river, bypass the west entrance, I am afraid that I can't do it.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city over there were pressed down, slowed down for half a cup of tea, glanced at the hardcover man in fear, turned around and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!" The door opened.

Seeing this, Chu Qi was willing to give up such an opportunity, stepped forward quickly, stopped the man in a strong suit, and arched his hand: "Chu Qi ...... in the Lower Shangqing Courtyard."

The man in the power suit hit him on one shoulder, what does it matter what Shangqing Courtyard or Qi you are, squeezed him away fiercely, and strode forward. Chu Qi held his shoulders, if he hadn't been physically fit and healthy, he had eaten Ganoderma lucidum and Miaocao as a snack since he was a child, I am afraid that ordinary people's shoulders would have been broken long ago.

"Your Excellency, if the things are delivered at your speed, I am afraid that it will not be in a hurry!"

The man's face was irritable, he held the void with one hand, and an invisible huge force pulled Chu Qi forward, and the placket of his clothes was led diagonally into the other party's hand.

"Who are you and what is your purpose?"

Chu Qi smiled but did not speak, bowing his head and his big hand with blue muscles on the placket. The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention the fairy-looking figure in front of him, the man scolded angrily for a moment, and when he saw that the other party was silent, he slowly let go of his palm.

Chu Qi grinned and said, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator, the purpose, go to Youzhou to have a look." ”

The man endured the drastic expression, his mouth and eyes distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You come with me." With a wave of his sleeves, he strode towards the city.
