Chapter 56: Westbound
It was already getting late, and even if Zhang Hao planned to go to the Kamikaze Academy, he was not in a hurry to do so.
The next day, Zhang Hao said goodbye to Chu Yue and prepared to go to the Kamikaze Academy with Xiao Yi to see if he could take the baby Tianlong as a pet.
After all, he still likes this little guy very much, oh no hair. Thinking about it makes Zhang Hao a little excited and looking forward to it.
If he thinks of it, he will do it, and before leaving, he told Chu Yue that if something is transmitted through the teleportation array, he will receive it, and finally instructed Chu Yue to take care of the store and teach those adopted children well, he is of great use.
After that, he went westward, without taking anyone with him, nor using the Xuanwu Heavenly Boat, but just walked to the west of Chu State step by step, heading to the place called Sin City.
After he left, Chu Yu and Chen Nan both came to see him off, and Chen Nan made up his mind to go to Sin City after a while, and only by practicing and fighting more can his cultivation improve faster.
Zhang Hao walked step by step, not only to enjoy the scenery along the way, but also to practice, so he practiced step by step, taking all things in heaven and earth as teachers, constantly understanding heaven and earth, and precipitating his own heritage.
Sleeping in the open all the way also made Zhang Hao feel a lot about the Tao. Finally, he came to Wangfeng City, the gateway to the western part of the Chu State, which was tall and strong, and was a choke point on the road between the East and the West.
The name Wangfeng Castle has a long history, and it is said that the first Wangfeng Castle was built during the Great War between the East and the West, and the castle has changed several times in the past 10,000 years. The Windy City was built thousands of years ago, and has not changed its address until today, but has expanded several times on the original basis.
Although there have been few wars between the East and the West for thousands of years, the city was regarded as a military fortress by any dynasty, and it was heavily guarded. In peacetime, the soldiers in the city mainly inspected the merchants and inspected their goods.
Zhang Hao naturally didn't want to accept the interrogation of these soldiers, disturb the vitality of heaven and earth, so that these soldiers could not see him, and swaggered into the city. And these soldiers turned a blind eye to him.
Although Wangfeng City is located in the border area, the city is extremely prosperous, and there is one industry in the city that is particularly prosperous, and that is mercenaries.
Out of Wangfeng City is the vast mountains, on the road to the Western Continent there are not only all kinds of fierce birds and beasts, but also some strong bandits, so people who travel to and from this road will generally travel in groups, and even most people will spend money to hire some mercenaries to ensure the safety of life and property.
Zhang Hao is still quite new to the mercenary industry, although with Zhang Hao's power, he doesn't need the protection of some low-level cultivators, but he is still a little curious, when he comes to this world, how can he do it if he doesn't walk around and have a long experience?
And I used to read a novel called Mercenary World on Earth, and I always wanted to be a mercenary, set up a mercenary group, and become a mercenary king.
However, now Zhang Hao's thoughts have long faded.
Although he didn't have the idea of being a mercenary, Zhang Hao still wanted to take a look at this mercenary from another world.
Came to the mercenary union in the city, it was noisy and chaotic, and the walls were covered with all kinds of notices, all of which were large and small tasks, waiting for the mercenaries to claim them, from being a bodyguard to exploring some terrifying Jedi.
At present, the most expensive task is to catch the Qilin Divine Beast in the Falling Wind Mountain Range, and someone has already bid 500,000 gold coins. Although there are many people who have taken on this task, none of the mercenaries or mercenary organizations have been able to succeed so far, and most of them are gone, and few people have taken on this task anymore.
The employers who come here are generally people who are going to Sin City or the Western Continent, and if you want to deal with the bandits on the road, a few mercenaries are not enough, and it is often a group of people with the same destination to hire a mercenary group collectively.
Zhang Hao was a little disappointed with this mercenary guild, looking at it, most of them were first- and second-order cultivators, and only a few people could have a third-order cultivation, so this cultivation really had to be hired, and it was not certain who would protect whom at that time.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao didn't have much hope, that is, to gain knowledge.
After all, if you are a master, it is not as easy as joining a big force, although the mercenaries are freer, but most of the people who are willing to be mercenaries are those scattered cultivators.
Just as Zhang Hao was about to leave, someone stopped him.
"Well, this brother is looking for a bodyguard? It is definitely a wise choice to choose me, and I am the one who is known as the 'King of Mercenaries', to keep you safe all the way. ”
Several mercenaries next to him said in unison: "Cut...... If you're the king of mercenaries, we're still the king of mercenaries. ”
Dahan said: "Oh, I don't say the word 'future', I am the future king of mercenaries."
Zhang Hao saw that the big man named him was just a first-order cultivator, and he was really weak, so he shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Alas, brother, don't go, at most give you a cheaper, 80 gold coins, or 50? Couldn't go any lower! ”
"No, I can do it alone."
What Zhang Hao didn't know was that it was the mercenary Guan Hao in the original book who stopped him.
Leaving the Mercenary Guild, a person keeps traveling westward.
Among the mountains, the endless mountains are lush and green all year round, and all kinds of unheard of flowers and plants in the mountains, rare birds and beasts that have never been seen before also make Zhang Hao feel that the trip is worthwhile.
All the way to the west, encountering mountains and mountains, encountering water and water, sometimes Zhang Hao wandered under the waterfall, sometimes Zhang Hao sat quietly at the bottom of the river, sometimes Zhang Hao slept on the tree, Zhang Hao even took off his shoes and walked barefoot on this side of the land.
Along the way, I also encountered many robbers and bandits, but all of them were killed by Zhang Hao, these robbers and bandits have been entrenched here for many years, and I don't know how many lives have been harmed, Zhang Hao naturally will not show mercy to them. Slash them all.
In addition to the deeper understanding of the Dao, Zhang Hao has not gained much these days, some robbers and bandits that are dangerous to ordinary people are really not a matter for Zhang Hao, and some so-called heavenly and earthly treasures are just some medicinal materials that are less than a hundred years old, and they can't provide Zhang Hao with many energy points.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao's comprehension of the Dao has made a breakthrough, and it is estimated that he will be able to comprehend the Dao Domain of one of the Feng Shui Fire systems in less than a month, and not only will the power of the sword technique be greatly increased at that time. Zhang Hao's combat power naturally became more powerful.
Within a few days, Zhang Hao came to the famous city of freedom, also known as the city of sin.
Located on the largest plain in the mountains, Sin City is called a city, but it has no walls, only a river in the shape of a field, interspersed with the city of freedom, which is the main transportation route in the city.
The population here is about 400,000, which is much less than that of other big cities, but the prosperity scene is no less than that of the capital of any country...... There is everything, the prosperous sin city is famous in the mainland, and it is a dazzling pearl in the famous cities of the mainland.
Half of the materials that Sin City needs on a daily basis are supplied by itself, and the other half is continuously transported from the eastern and western continents, which is not very convenient due to the long distance, which is the main reason why the population of Free City cannot be overly inflated.
Sin City could perhaps be called a small country, as it was a land of freedom and did not belong to any one country. There are also armies in the city, but there are not many of them, and the daily affairs are handled by the five lords of the city.
From a distance, the city of freedom is surrounded by green mountains and green water, like a paradise, with pleasant scenery and beautiful scenery.
Arrived in the Sin City, Zhang Hao did not go to the Kamikaze Academy to find the dragon baby for the first time, but first bought a residential courtyard and a façade in the Sin City, of course, the Sin City is an inch of land, but fortunately, before Zhang Hao left, Chu Yue gave him a million gold tickets for him to use for pocket money, and now it seems that Chu Yue is still quite thoughtful, Zhang Hao really used it, which cost Zhang Hao a total of 130,000 gold coins with the façade and this courtyard. Zhang Hao plans to do his old job and open a shop in Sin City to play.
