Chapter 188: Entering Shu (Third Update)
Chengdu, Sichuan, this place is the land of Shuzhong, Shuzhong since the Han Dynasty Liu Bang laid the foundation here, when the counterattack on Xiang Yu was successful, it was transformed from a wild land into a fertile land, and now because of the special geographical location of Shu and the power of the Duzun Fort, it has become a rare and valuable pure land in this chaotic world.
Of course, the Shu road is difficult to go to the blue sky is not to say that it is fun, in this era, this Shu road is indeed more steep than the ladder, in some places, those roads are even nearly ninety degrees on the vertical ground, people have to climb with both hands and feet.
It is precisely for this reason that there are few outside forces involved in this Shu land, and under the strange balance of the three major forces of Duzun Fort, Sichuan Gang and Ba League, Shu Chengdu has rarely maintained a prosperous scene, and it seems like a bright pearl Buddha land in the troubled times.
Many of the Shu people to the outside world are from the waterway, the key is the Yangtze River basin flowing through the tributaries of Shu, and the rest is through the mountains and rivers around Shu, those mountain streams and rivers are extremely turbulent and terrible, if there is no decades of experience of the best boatmen and boatmen to lead, it is difficult to enter and exit the Shu land by themselves.
But today, in a mountain stream and river, the water is as turbulent as ten thousand horses galloping, and the sound of the waves hitting the shore caused by the huge water wave whirlpool rumbles and crashes, and the waves are terrifying.
But in the midst of such a terrible and harsh river, a wooden boat covered with sheepskin bags was like a sharp arrow, breaking through the waves. Lightning-fast. Fast as a leopard. On the undercurrent swirling river, he is extremely skillful, turning left and right, like a swimming fish, easily avoiding those undercurrent reefs and running all the way to the lower reaches of the river.
On the bow of the ship, there was a standing person, dressed in a blue and white robe, with long hair fluttering, and a pair of eyes that exuded a breathtaking light, not caring about the dangerous situation in front of him. Even the slightest mistake in the course of the ship will be shattered, and even many times it will almost hit the reef head-on protruding from the water.
But Lin Chen's face did not change, as if nailed to the bumpy bow of the boat, he did not move at all, and looked at the scene of the surrounding waves crashing on the shore and the torrent hitting the rocks.
The turbulent river began to slow down with the continuous movement, and finally converged into the Min River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, at this time the old man who operated the hull of the boat wiped the sweat on his face, although he has walked for decades along the way, but every time he walks it requires great energy, otherwise a loss of mind may be shattered. He met Lin Chen before and wanted to rent a boat to enter Sichuan, but he also persuaded Lin Chen to take another Yangtze River waterway. However, at Lin Chen's insistence, he still rented a boat and went on this trip.
"Uncle, thank you, I can go the rest of the way by myself, embarrassed Uncle to take this dangerous waterway, this point of respect is not respectful, in the future, the old man has also reached the time to recuperate, such a dangerous waterway or don't go, buy some land to take care of the old age!" Lin Chen smiled slightly, but he left three huge gold ingots in his hand, which made the old man who drove the boat startled, and the people in the mountains were extremely responsible, and they were at a loss when they saw Lin Chen take out such gold.
"Childe! Childe, this is the duty of the old man, this is too much money......" The old man's face was wrinkled, and his hands were exposed because of the excessive support of the pole, but at this time, he shook his head again and again and refused.
"Haha! Not much, this is what you deserve, embarrassed old man!? After Lin Chen finished speaking, he put the ingots in his hand, and then jumped into the river, setting off a ripple of the flowing water among the generals, but what was frightening was that Lin Chen seemed to be down-to-earth, walking into the distance step by step on the water, but he was a master.
Seeing this, the old man behind him was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, shouting that the gods were descending to earth, which made Lin Chen cry and laugh at the same time, but he also accelerated his pace, treading the waves wave by wave, and walked towards Bashu Chengdu like flying on the water.
Lin Chen's target this time is Shi Qingxuan, who lives in seclusion in the suburbs outside of Bashu Chengdu, don't get me wrong, Lin Chen doesn't want to be a flower thief, nor does he want to open the harem mode and collect beauties, in fact, the real purpose of Lin Chen's trip is not Shi Qingxuan, but the evil king Shi Zhixuan, because Lin Chen very much wants to know how big the gap is between himself and the great grandmaster-level masters in this world who mainly focus on mental cultivation, and the evil king is known as the first person under the great grandmaster.
After all, the previous shouts with Ren Shaoming had proved that Lin Chen was difficult to find opponents in the grandmaster level, and Lin Chen could only look for more powerful opponents.
Of course, when looking for a master, you can't help but consider a series of situations, it is true that the Buddhism Sect and the Demon Sect have the most grandmaster-level masters, but the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Dao Lin Chen don't know where these guys are, although the Yin Kui faction is extremely powerful, but you can't go to a green building and say that you are looking for someone from the Yin Kui faction, it's strange that people don't treat you as a fool.
Secondly, Buddhism is even more ridiculous, no one knows where it is at all, and the Jingnian Zen Temple is famous for group beatings, Lin Chen doesn't want to come to the door to be besieged with a hundred and eight Arhat arrays, and then be voluntarily converted to my Buddha!
The reason why this candidate is the evil king is first because the evil king is easy to find, because of the flaws in his early years, it can be said that as long as Shi Qingxuan is found, he will be able to wait for the evil king, the guy controlled by his daughter; The second is because although the evil king can be compared to the three great grandmasters, but because of the spiritual flaws, the result is schizophrenia, and the realm has not reached the level of the three major grandmasters, so it is best to let Lin Chen test the realm level of the grandmaster master and the great grandmaster.
Shu is talented and spiritual, and because of this Bashu generation, in addition to the Han people who moved here, there are many local mountain people, and these tribes are in Chengdu to make the whole Bashu more prosperous.
And one of the three major forces in the entire Bashu, Duzun Fort is in Chengdu, because the Duzun Fort Lord Xie Hui is fair in the rivers and lakes, so he has always been known as a martial arts judge, and because of the marriage of the Lingnan Song Valve, under the power of Song Que, no one dares to risk its might.
Chengdu itself is a prosperous place, plus there are many salt wells in Shudi, and salt sales are rampant, even the Lingnan Song family also relies on Sichuan salt wells.
In addition, there is no famine and chaos in the Central Plains, so that the prosperity of Chengdu here even exceeds some of the big cities in the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains, people come and go, every day a large number of merchants enter Shu to buy various items and salt, and on this day, a young man in white clothes is also walking into the city of Chengdu.
