Chapter 104: Difficult to Walk
From Qingzhou to Qixuancheng, a total of 800 miles.
It stands to reason that if you ride a thousand-mile horse, you can start and set.
This is not the case.
Qingzhou is located in the north of Xuanyue country, with complex topography and many mountains and rivers.
In the mountains and rivers, there are many monsters, and no one dares to run all the way, otherwise it is likely that a fierce beast will suddenly jump out and wipe out the convoy.
Even the official road is the same.
This can't be blamed on the incompetence of the government, the main continent has a vast territory, even a small country like Xuanyue Kingdom, there are thousands of miles in radius.
The territory is so large, but the people are only a few million, to put it mildly, there are not as many monsters in the mountains.
In addition, in a small country, bandits are rampant, how many people can be pulled out to defend the place?
Those enemy countries have been watching with wide eyes, and if anyone misses something, they will definitely not escape.
And it's not just small countries, it's a similar situation in large countries.
The bigger the country, the stronger the monsters in the territory, and the stronger the enemy.
No one dares to take it lightly.
Therefore, on this continent, it is never safe to travel.
As far away as the Xuanyue Kingdom, over the years, it has selected and sent talents to the six major factions, or belongs to the Fengyan Empire, how can the accidents that have occurred be counted in one hand?
Even if it is as close as Qingzhou, three years ago, it encountered a group of bandits, and three of the eight young heroes sent there died.
In this case, this trip went all the way to the south, and Yun Xiao and the others really didn't dare to be careless.
Inside the carriage, perhaps in order to dispel the tension in his heart, Li Wenzhong, who was in the same car, suddenly said:
"Brother Yun, do you have any plans to go to Qixuan, as far as I know, within the Qixuanwu Mansion, the competition is very fierce, and even tends to be vicious, if you don't think about it well, I'm afraid that I will wait ......."
He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Fear of being bullied.
Because according to the usual practice, every three years in a general election, among the eight contestants sent, a leader will be elected.
This leader will discuss the strategy after moving in.
And this time, as long as they are not blind, everyone knows who the leader is.
But the leader didn't speak, and he finally didn't know the bottom of his heart.
I don't know what to do first after I go.
Is it to practice martial arts honestly, or to find a force to attach to the following first?
According to the old rules, you have to find a backer.
I'm afraid that with this guy's character......
A close friend for many years, Yun Xiao obviously saw Li Wenzhong's worries, he thought about it and said:
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. When I arrived in Qixuan City, I would first go to the Alchemist Guild to certify the identity of a third-order alchemist, so that everything was worry-free. ”
Li Wenzhong was shocked when he heard this.
Three...... Third-order alchemist?
This kid isn't joking, is he?
It is true that the Alchemist Guild is one of the strongest forces in the mainland on the bright side, and it is enough to serve as a backer, but it can be certified as a third-order alchemist as soon as it goes...... It's also incredible.
He didn't know when this kid learned alchemy, and it was so high as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, in his heart, he did not express his doubts.
Not only because of human considerations, but also because He Yuqing and Luliu, who were in the same car, did not speak.
It's just that his eyes are slightly shocked, but the fluctuation is far less than that of him.
This means that nine times out of ten this is true.
“...... Third-order alchemist, what happened to this kid?"
Li Wenzhong shook his head secretly, shocked and indescribable.
But on second thought, what about him?
The sky fell and there was a high top.
Since this kid said this, he will not harm himself.
Then he said: "Since this is the case, then I will be relieved, but the rest of the people don't know yet, do you need to go down to inform you?"
Comparing the heart to the heart, the feeling of being uneasy is not pleasant.
If he has a heart on his side, he naturally has to let others know.
"It's okay, then it's hard Brother Li. ”
In this regard, Yun Xiao did not stop it, although he didn't care about the opinions of the other four, it was always good to say hello.
Li Wenzhong went for a while and came back after a while.
The two talked about banditry again, and Li Wenzhong intentionally or unintentionally said that he had the intention of joining the army, and he went to Wufu to sign up for the military division department.
There are three major disciplines in the Seven Xuanwu Mansions.
The first is the martial arts department.
The second is the Department of Military Division.
The third is the hundred families.
As the name suggests, the first two are quite mixed.
Dan Dao, Fu Dao, Formation, Refining...... and other auxiliary occupations, all of which belong to the hundred families.
Under normal circumstances, disciples who enter the Seven Xuan Mansion will study in it for three years.
Three years later, he ran for the royal election.
Once the royal city election is over, you can choose to join the Six Great Sects or the Fengyan Empire.
In other words, when entering the county town of Wufu, the vast majority of people still have to stay in it for three years before they can be promoted for the next time.
Otherwise, if you rush to the royal city, you can do it, and don't blame the government for not reminding you if something happens.
It's just that Li Wenzhong didn't know that Yun Xiao would only stay in Qixuan City for about a month.
A little more than a month later, there will be a general election in the royal city, and through this election, he will be able to get close to the Holy Gate.
However, he didn't say this, so as not to add to the sadness or make others worry, and only said that he was sure that he would choose the martial arts department.
asked about Luliu He Yuqing again, and the two of them chose the same as him, the martial arts department.
There is no doubt about that.
Green Willow was originally from Green Willow Villa, and he was already a martial artist.
Not to mention He Yuqing, the prestige of the cold-faced Rakshasa is to get the green forest realm, and it is also famous, how can he abandon martial arts?
As for the other four, Lin Shaoyou, Liu Wenrou, and Li Yuniang, they must all choose the martial arts department.
Only Liu Suifeng, who likes to read military books, may choose the military division department.
In this way, the general direction is almost decided.
After a few people finished chatting about this matter, they didn't have anything else to say for a while, so they all cultivated separately.
There are many crises in this Qixuan.
If you can improve your strength, you will have more confidence in self-protection.
In the fixed situation, time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.
The day was not peaceful.
Three horse-drawn carriages came to a large river and wanted to cross it by boat.
This is the only way to the Seven Xuan City, the river is wide and deep, and it is impossible for a carriage to cross it.
And there are many monsters in the river, and they can smell the breath of people.
In the event of an accident, there is a high risk of death or injury.
You must know that this is just a "small" river that can be seen everywhere in the Xuantian Continent, and it is still so dangerous for everyone.
Wouldn't it be even more difficult and dangerous to wait for the rest of the bigger forces?
Not to mention, on the path of cultivation, you have to fight not only against nature, but also against people.
In many cases, humans are the most terrifying creatures.
It can be seen from this that cultivating together is very difficult.
Saying that ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, I am afraid that it is far from enough to describe.
Of course, it's all coming, and it's not the best idea to stop.
The people asked the boatman for their opinions, and after a little discussion, they decided to cross the river by big boat.
The boat is only ten zhang, but the fee is as high as 1,000 taels of silver per person.
A line of eleven people, that is, twenty-four thousand taels!
Such a large amount of wealth is a big burden for the five major families, but it is only used to get by.
As soon as they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh:
Practice the four elements, wealth and law, wealth is the first, the ancients did not deceive me.
However, the big ship also has the advantage of a big ship, there is a giant crossbow on the ship that specializes in dealing with the water monsters, and there are special blood thorns on the bottom of the ship, which can prevent the water monsters from attacking from the bottom.
In terms of safety, it is a thousand times better than spending a hundred taels of silver to "gamble" on a small boat.
But despite this, the boat was hit when it went into the water.
It was a huge monster beast that had not revealed its true face, knocking the hull of the ship to the ground and almost overturning.
Fortunately, he was frightened by the sailors in time with "exorcism powder" and a giant crossbow, so he retreated.
Rao is like this, and everyone is frightened.
At that moment, the boat almost capsized.
In this world, man falls into the water...... Unless it's a small shallow pond, it's a dead or.
Soon, the river crossing was successful, and the group disembarked and found the official post station on the spot, and a team was responsible for picking up and dropping off.
Only then did he go all the way to Qixuan City.
