Jiang Guo Changping twenty-five summers, this is the season of scorching heat and difficult to endure.

In the summer season, because there were people from outside the mountain Zhuge Dan who wanted to murder the queen's mother, and then there were traces of people from outside the mountains from time to time in various places in Jiang Kingdom, for the sake of all the people, His Majesty the Emperor decided to send the younger generation of cultivators to the wasteland along the Tianhe River to inquire whether there were cracks in the demon suppression barrier, and at the same time kill all the people outside the mountain along the way.

The elite disciples strictly selected by the cultivation mountain sects all over the Jiang country are ready to go.

The teenagers gathered outside the south gate of the capital also set off against the rising sun.

The Star Picking Mansion was led by Shen Qiubai and Zhong Xiyan, and Yang Zhao and other disciples of the Four Realms were accompanied.

It is worth mentioning that Guan Muyun is not in the team, although it is also because he has not crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, but this is also a good opportunity to practice, but Guan Muyun chose to stay in the capital, what his thoughts are, only he knows.

There are Xie Chunfeng leading the team, Xie Ning and other disciples accompanying them, but they are walking the same road as Beizangfeng and other academy disciples, and they go together.

The Sword Courtyard of the Palace was led by Ouyang Shengxue, Ye Jinyu and Jiang Zihua, including He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue, who also set off with them, and the third senior sister obviously wanted to stay in the Sword Academy, and Ning Haoran did not follow.

As for Li Mengzhou, he set off with Xiao Zhinan the day before the big team set off.

Before leaving, he naturally said goodbye to Aunt Feng and the Yu family in the gentle township, the girl and others, this time he left Beijing and he could not come back in a short time, although he was a little sentimental, but they were all smiling.

Walk along the Tianhe River, and the destination is the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland in the far west.

The river meanders through many towns and cities, and ends on the western frontier.

Time is fast for cultivators, but it is also slow, because only when they cross the threshold of the Five Realms will the life span of a monk increase significantly, and the concept of time for monks below the Four Realms is actually no different from that of ordinary people.

At the end of the day, a small town called Shanhe welcomed two strange men and women.

The mountain and river town sounds very extraordinary, and this town is indeed as its name, as if it includes a mountain and river, there are things in the city here, and there are flavors in the mountains and wilderness here, and there are mixed fish and dragons, there are people in the rivers and lakes, there are cultivators, and there are ordinary people.

Of course, ordinary people occupy the most, followed by the people who can be seen everywhere, as for cultivators, unless they show their skills, it is difficult for people in the rivers and lakes and ordinary people to perceive it.

But by naming a small town Shanhe, the people who built it clearly had great ambitions.

The summer sun is like a big furnace, coinciding with the hottest time of the day, the scorching sun will be baked hot in the mountains and rivers, and even the air is a wave of heat, a little movement, it is possible to sweat like rain.

Li Mengzhou was wearing a thin black shirt, with a broken black sword hanging from his waist, a hat on his head to shield him from the sun, and his long hair was also tied casually with a cloth rope, exposed to the sun through the hat, the hair on his forehead was slightly messy, and he squinted his eyes at the pedestrians on the streets of Shanhe Town.

Xiao Zhinan was wearing a thin blue coat, showing off his figure perfectly, also wearing a hat, and holding a sword in his hand.

Although the weather is hot, the streets of Shanhe Town are still lively.

The hawkers shouted to their heart's content, the traveling merchants stopped to watch, and the knights of the rivers and lakes with swords or sabers were not uncommon.

"Have you heard, the gentleman of the Lin Mansion of the martial arts family is searching for the traces of cultivators everywhere, and spending a lot of money to buy news from the people of the rivers and lakes, but how can the people of the rivers and lakes know about the existence of immortals? If it weren't for the luck of encountering it, I'm afraid only the Grandmaster League would know about it. ”

"The gentleman was deceived and turned around, and in just a few days, he spent a lot of money, and was hung on the beam of the house by his father, but he was still stubborn, as if he could find the immortal, he would definitely become a human being. ”

"Cultivators are actually very easy to find, as long as they go to the capital, but it is not easy to find the Immortal Mountain Gate, how many people in the rivers and lakes want to worship in the Immortal Gate, travel long distances, go through hardships, and have no way. And even if you find the location of the fairy gate, if you don't have the qualifications, you will just be driven home. ”

The mystery of cultivators is only for some ordinary people, even if they can't find the cultivation mountain gate, the existence of Ewha Academy is well known to the world, but in the concept of ordinary people, Ewha Academy is just a academy, even if entering the academy means being able to become an official, but ordinary people who pursue the path of cultivation will not set their sights on Ewha Academy.

That is, with a certain identity, you can really know what kind of existence Ewha Academy is.

Just as Guan Muyun, as a great talent in Shanglu, was recommended by the government to rush to Beijing to take the academy, after all, he needs to have a certain way, and he will obviously only get a head injury if he is blindfolded.

It's no secret that there are cultivators in the capital, but cultivators don't jump out on their own, and even if they pass by, you can't know that the other party is a cultivator, it seems that cultivators can be seen everywhere, but in fact, for ordinary people, cultivators are mysterious and can't be easily touched.

It's just that there is a problem with the cognition of ordinary people.

When the cultivation mountain gate is opened, it is also the government decree or the big clan with status to help inform them, recommending young people who they think are qualified, without any background, or small families, if they want to enter the immortal gate, they can really only rely on luck.

Of course, if a strong person who cultivates the mountain gate enters the world and finds a qualified teenager, he will also bring him to the mountain gate, but that is also a matter of chance.

There are also those ordinary people who clearly know the existence of the Ligong Sword Academy, the Star Picking Mansion, and the Pujia Garden, but they don't know exactly where these cultivation mountain gates are.

For example, it is clear that the Imperial Sword Courtyard is in the capital, but where exactly it is in the capital, but it is confused.

Ordinary people who can really see the cultivation world, that is, those people from the worldly clans or the government, ordinary people and ordinary people can't get in touch with that level at all.

There is a martial arts family in Shanhe Town, it is said to be a family, but in fact it is a rich man full of copper smell, in the ancestors, the Lin family did have a martial arts master, but that was a hundred years ago, and now the Lin family is purely a businessman, and the business is only in Shanhe Town, there is no knowledge, except for money, there is nothing.

Rich is also only in the mountains and rivers, and he is not the richest man, but he is just a merchant in the name of a martial arts family, and by the way, he recruits some people from the rivers and lakes.

But the reputation of the Lin family in Shanhe Town is also very high, although Lin Dafu, the head of the Lin family, is a rich man in the soil, but he is also a great benevolent person, often helping the poor people, and he also has a good reputation in Shanhe Town, for Lin Dashan.

Lin Dafu only has an only son, which can be described as very spoiled, although he has been a little sloppy, but he has not done anything wrong, but the loss alone is enough to make Lin Dafu sick every day.

Every day and every night, he delusionally wants to become a cultivator, doing the way for the heavens, and bringing some martial artists who are recruited to be at the lowest level in the rivers and lakes to swagger into the market, which also makes the people of the mountains and rivers love and hate, and the rich children who have bad brains and are rich are naturally easy to be targeted, and since he really wanted to become a cultivator to the present, in just a few years, he has lost tens of thousands of taels of gold.

It is true that the Lin family is rich, but it has not reached the point where the money cannot be spent, tens of thousands of taels of gold are enough for the Lin family's income for three years, and it is still a good business.

The Lin family is involved in a lot of business, and nearly half of the entertainment industry in Shanhe Town is the Lin family, and the reason why it is not the richest man is that the Lin family's business has not gone out of Shanhe Town, and they have always been eating their old capital.

Gradually, the news that the Lin family was cheated by some gangsters in the mountains and rivers quickly reached Lin Dafu's ears, he was like thunder, his fat body trembled with anger, almost broke the door panel, and ran out in a hurry, "Come on!

......

There is a place where people gather in the rivers and lakes, and a place like a tavern is of course essential.

Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan came to a tavern, which was already full of guests, mostly fierce-looking people from the rivers and lakes, drinking in big bowls, eating meat, and making deafening noises.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile: "Two inside, please!"

In the tavern, there is only food and drink, regardless of accommodation, so there is no shouting that you often hear about 'playing the tip or staying in the hotel'.

But the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper is the same.

Li Mengzhou has the breath of a Jianghu person, before he went to the capital to be admitted to the Palace Sword Academy, he was a Jianghu person, even if a long time has passed, this kind of breath still exists.

And Xiao Zhinan's relatively sharp aura is also obviously dangerous, although his appearance is extremely beautiful, which has attracted the attention of many people in the rivers and lakes, but no one has come to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

They casually found a vacant seat and asked for wine and meat, and because they were in a hurry, they did not intend to eat anything too good, mainly in wine, as long as the wine was delicious, everything was easy to say.

Because both of them like to drink, they can be regarded as having the same smell, and they feel like drinking friends.

While they were eating meat and drinking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tavern door, and someone rushed in in a panic and directly hit a man covered in tendons and flesh very close to the door.

The person in the rivers and lakes was about to get angry, but when he saw the person's face clearly, he greeted him with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Lin, what's the matter, so in a hurry, could it be that he was chased by a dog?"

The people in the tavern seemed to recognize the young man who ran in in a hurry, and they laughed one after another, making the young man stand in place, very embarrassed.

After a while, many people walked in outside the tavern again, also dressed as people from the rivers and lakes, holding knives in their hands, staring at the young man viciously, "Master Lin, what are you running, do you look down on it?"

Master Lin smiled and said, "This ...... Brother, what are you talking about, I didn't run, I just saw that you were very kind, just playing a game with you, isn't it interesting?"
