Volume 2 Forging Ahead Chapter 174 The Battle of Xuanji (2)
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, what Huang Zhonglu wanted to ask, what he wanted to know had results, of course, they were all ordinary things that had nothing to do with personal secrets, obviously he still had something in his heart, and he didn't want to delay time on Zhou Hao, so he handed Zhou Hao a small wooden card, engraved with a few runes on it, and said: "Zhou Daoyou, this is a rune issued by Xuanji City to prove identity, it can pass unhindered within the scope of Seven Star City, Daoyou, please take it away, and you will not be subject to interrogation and some unnecessary collisions." ”
"Oh, thank you, Brother Huang, Zhou remembers. ”
Farewell to Huang Zhonglu and his entourage, Zhou did not leave, and solemnly resigned Huang Zhonglu to settle the bill, this small meal of wine and food Zhou can still be invited, under the pretext that he happened to rest, just in this restaurant to rest and supplement, then quietly think about the news obtained.
This place is already Taiweiyu, and it has long been separated by one or two thousand miles from Mulongyu, where Zhou entered the secret place, and Taiweiyu at this time is extremely close to the place where the main sect of Tianyan Sect is located, which is good news, and the bad news is that there is not much time left for Tianyan Sect to open the mountain and accept disciples, it is less than forty days, and Zhou Hao wants to arrive before the time limit with his own speed, so there can be no longer any delay.
Tasting the not too high-grade spirit wine, thinking about the experience of a period of time in his heart, secretly planning the itinerary, and unconsciously a long time passed, until the spirit wine bottomed out, the shrewd little two were a little tired, yawning and cautiously asked Zhou Hao, "Senior, but you still need others, and the small ones are easy to prepare." ”
Zhou Hao suddenly sobered up, looked up at the guy with a trace of fatigue on his face, and then looked out the window, the sky had actually darkened, and the lanterns on the street had been lit.
"Dude, do you have a place to rest?" Zhou Hao asked.
"Yes" Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly introduced, this guest looks weird, and one is most of the day, he waits in vain, he makes a lot less than other guys, and he is bored and almost sleeps, but he has to serve with sincerity, and he doesn't dare to be a little lazy, the other party is a monk who flies away from the sky, Zhou Hao doesn't care about these, he waved his hand and put a medium-grade spirit stone on the table, and said: "Then rest for one night, these are enough!"
"Enough...... Enough" Xiao Er's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, there are too many, this table of wine and food is only ten lower grade spirit stones, even if it is the best room in the store, it only needs fifty grade spirit stones, and the small ones will be given to the seniors to find change." ”
"No need, you go and get two more pots of spirit wine, and the rest will be rewarded to you. Zhou Hao got up and left, Xiao Er hurriedly grabbed the Zhongpin spirit stone, and held on to it, for fear of losing it, and trotted to lead the way for Zhou Hao.
Although Huang Zhonglu said a lot, but Zhou Hao only knew some more popular things, and wanted to rush to Tianyanzong as soon as possible, Zhou Hao had a new plan, if he relied on himself, with less than two layers of cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he needed to travel day and night, and he didn't dare to delay before he could arrive on time, although this road was extremely close to the goal, and the environment should not be too bad, but it was better to be cautious.
The shop Xiaoer got the great benefits, the natural service is meticulous, the restaurant is very side, several small buildings with unique styles of courtyards, fifty spirit stones, naturally the best guest rooms, independent courtyards, and simple formation protection, a small building, extremely luxurious, clean and tidy, all the utensils are almost brand new, especially the bedding, are the best among mortals.
Zhou Hao is also not polite, the shopkeeper has been born in Xuanji City since he was a child, don't look at his age, but he can work in a restaurant that can entertain monks, he is naturally well-informed, at least he is also a snake-like existence, and he knows very well about some big and small things in this Xuanji City.
Zhou Hao wants to explore a shortcut to Tianyanzong, Huang Zhonglu may not be able to ask, but it does not mean that Xiao Er has no result, carefully wash away the fatigue of his body, although it is not very comfortable to be bareheaded, but he has to continue, his thoughts are slightly distributed, and he has no heart to explore the privacy of others, and he finds Xiao Er who is in the restaurant for a moment, smiling and rejoicing alone, mortals are so easy to satisfy, this windfall is enough to be worth the income of Xiao Er, three or five years, and he is thinking about how to dispose of this wealth in his heart.
"Little second brother, please bring a pot of spirit wine and send it. A familiar voice suddenly woke up Xiao Er, who was dreaming, turned his head to look around, but he didn't know where the master was, "Don't look for it, this is the art of sound transmission, I'm still in the room." ”
"Oh! Xiao Er panicked and cleaned up his mood, secretly feeling weak in his heart, a master is a master, but his expression quickly recovered and became more and more respectful. hurriedly went to prepare the spirit wine, and did not forget to prepare two appetizers to send together.
Zhou Hao came from an ordinary background, although he has been guided by monks since he was a child, and he has never suffered any hardships, but Xue Niang taught by words and deeds, and he has never been less disciplined by him and Yun Lei.
Therefore, with a little humility, Xiao Er excitedly talked about Zhou Hao's affairs, and talked endlessly about the big and small things in Xuanji City.
Although Xiao Er is a mortal, but the ancestors are also rumored to have been monks, as for the legend of how many generations ago, there is no way to investigate, but with the head of an elf, living in this Xuanji City is also nourishing, pecking a small sip of spiritual wine, full of intoxication, for the monk, this spiritual wine is nothing, but for a mortal, he does not dare to swallow the cow drink, but it is this small sip, but he is also young and has a good physique, which is a big supplement.
"Little Second Brother, do you know that this Xuanji City has a quick way to go to Tianyan Sect?"
A glass of spiritual wine was in his stomach, and the shopkeeper was already hot and his tongue was a little unfavorable, but everything he knew, what he heard, even if it was just a rumor, was all poured out, Zhou Hao naturally understood what he asked, but when he saw that his originally red face suddenly danced, he said: " Childe's question is the right person, there are countless big and small things in our Xuanji City on weekdays, but they are not very lively, and this is not easy to go to Tianyan Holy Sect, and there is only one chance in a year, but now there happens to be a special time, and going to the Holy Sect is just a simple matter. ”
Zhou Hao's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked, "Then I don't know if the little second brother knows, what time is it?"
"Haha! Of course, it's a big event for Tianyan Holy Sect to open the mountain and accept disciples!" Xiao Er's eyes were glowing with green light, and he almost salivated as he looked at the wine glass that Zhou Hao had filled for him again, but he was a little afraid to do it again.
Zhou Hao looked at Xiao Er's tangled and depressed eyes, but he had a high opinion of him, knowing that things were good, but he could endure the desires in his heart, which was also rare. opened his mouth and asked, "I know what you said about the opening of the Tianyan Sect to accept disciples, but how did this become a major event in Xuanji City?"
Xiao Er retracted his eager gaze and replied: "Our Xuanji City and the other six cities are one and are called Seven Star City, and the place where we are originally called Tianxuan City, but I don't know when it was changed to Xuanji City, but it is quite good." The other six are Tianshu City, which is 360 miles away due north. Four hundred and eighty miles to the southwest is Tianji City, six hundred miles to the northwest is Tianquan City, and from Tianquan City to the top, one hundred and thirty-six miles along the Taiwei River is Yuheng Fort, and then one hundred and sixty-eight miles upstream, it is Minyang City, also known as Kaiyang City, and the farthest is the Shaking Light City two hundred and seventy-two miles away from the southwest of Kaiyang City, and the seven cities are collectively called the Seven Star City. ”
After saying the Seven Cities in one breath, maybe a little thirsty, the previous spirit wine was much more soothing, and finally picked up the wine glass and took another sip, and continued beautifully: " The reason why it is said to be a big deal, Tianyan Holy Sect will open the mountain gate in forty days and recruit disciples, our Seven Star City is also a place of outstanding people, since ancient times, there are many talents, meet the requirements and qualifications, and the relationship will naturally not give up this rare opportunity, as early as half a year ago, it began to compete for the quota, my lord, you came at the right time, after seven days is the deadline for this qualification competition, and at that time, the Holy Sect Flying Ship will take the pass Junjie to the sect, my lord, this is the big thing I am talking about!"
It seems that he can speak freely in front of a great power like Zhou Hao, Xiao Er is particularly excited, or maybe it is the stamina of the spirit wine, Xiao Er finally drank the second cup of spirit wine, and then he was no longer awake, and fell asleep on the table, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously having a good dream.
Zhou Hao didn't pay attention to the drunk Xiao Er, Shen Nian probed a little, knowing that he couldn't absorb the overly abundant aura for a while, so he slept to digest it, Zhou Hao also looked at his shrewdness and ability, so he didn't mind giving it a creation, digested two cups of spiritual wine, and didn't dare to say that he would prolong his life, but at least ten or eight years could not invade the cold and heat, and there would be no illness and no disaster, which could be regarded as a report for his explanation.
walked outside the door, summoned the other Xiao Er, sent the drunk and sleeping guy to rest, told him not to embarrass him, and rewarded a low-grade spirit stone, and told him again and again, until Xiao Er was arranged to rest, there was nothing wrong, Zhou Hao withdrew his thoughts and rethought it.
Although these seven cities have their own city lords, they are actually just a name, and most of the people in charge are some spiritual roots whose qualifications are not very good, and it is difficult to cultivate an inch of gold, but the long life of the monks makes it difficult for these people to settle, Tianyanzong arranged for them to be the city lord, or the family needs, to be the city lord, not only to collect spiritual materials for the sect, but also to guard the place, protect the safety of the party, and cultivate the foundation of the family or power by the way, and safeguard their own interests.
As Xiao Er said, this time Tianyan Sect opened the mountain gate widely, and there was competition and confrontation between the cities of Seven Star City, the world of monks, like ordinary dynasties, there are people, families, mountains, and disputes, in order to get a few more places, each city excavates a few more good seedlings, all of them are full of strength, even at the expense of open knives and dark arrows, Xiao Er said passionately, but Zhou Hao is not the first brother who has never seen the world, and he can still guess a few points about the general situation.
