Chapter 6 Foothold
Flying above the blue sky, accompanied by white clouds, Shixin is in a good mood. After a stick of incense, I heard the morning bell. He knew that it was the unique sound of the ancient bell on the Taixu Hall of the Chengling Hall.
The wind, gently brushing the corners of his clothes, raised his black hair. The Sheyun Sword turned into a meteor in the air and galloped past.
This sword riding the wind technique is the third level of the Heavenly Secret Method "Xuantian Heart Formula". He had already mastered this technique since he broke through the third layer of the "psychic" realm two years ago, and he was in a good mood at the moment, and he was much faster to take up the sword.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has come down from Tianchuan Mountain eleven years ago. At that time, he was only an ignorant child of seven or eight years old, but now he is already a disciple of this great sect of cultivation. Time flies, and eleven years have passed in a blink of an eye.
After a while, Shi Xin quietly retracted his thoughts, and when he looked into the distance again, he found that there were still a few wild cranes flying in the air. However, the fog is rising, and it is not very real to see.
He was leisurely in his heart, looked down and looked down again, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid it's almost past Chengling Hall, right?" It's just that the sky is high and the clouds are thick, and there is a white expanse all around, where can you see something.
And so on and so on for a while. Looking around, seeing that the white cranes flying in the clouds at this time were also gone, he chuckled and shook his head.
At that moment, he estimated the earth boundary slightly, and then changed his technique, and the Sheyun Sword under his feet leaned slightly after hearing the order, and slowly flew downward.
The layers of white clouds were gently dispersed by the Sheyun Sword, and the stone core was already vaguely visible under the foot, and sure enough, it had passed the Tianzha Mountain Range that plunged straight into the clouds.
After some consideration, he decided to choose a secluded place to whereabout. With his eyes swept slightly, he saw that there was no one at the foot of a barren mountain, and when he was happy, he flew straight towards the foot of the barren mountain.
I saw a white light in the middle of the air, and with the momentum of electric light, it stood on the ground. Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Xin put away the Sheyun Sword, and then recalled in his heart that the senior brother He Laifeng was about to go: Tianqi Mountain is located in a remote area, the mountains are majestic, not as good as another righteous sect Jingqi Temple incense is prosperous, there are only some small villages around Tianqi Mountain, if you want to settle down and rest, it is best to go to the "Xiqiao Ancient City" as well.
As for where this Xiqiao City is, He Laifeng only gave a general direction, and only said that he would go north and arrive in less than an hour or two. Xiqiao City is the nearest large-scale ancient city to Tianqi Mountain, and it is also the only way to Tianqi Mountain from the outside world, with a long history of no less than 1,000 years.
Shicai went down with his own sword, but I am afraid that there is still some distance from the ancient city, and it is still early, so it is better to walk first. Thinking so, he immediately set foot on the ancient road. The breeze is gentle, the flowers and butterflies are dancing, and there is a scenery of their own.
I walked for most of the day, thinking that Edgeworth was extremely fast, but I was afraid that I would be seen by mortals and cause unnecessary trouble, so Shi Xin ended up walking. At this time, I saw the sunset on the horizon, and I realized that it was already evening when I arrived at Xiqiao City.
The construction style of the river bridge city is simple, the construction style is magnificent, and the ancient city wall does not know how many vicissitudes of life have passed. Along the city is a moat in the shape of "Hui", the river water is clear, and you can see swimming fish.
The city is full of roads, noisy markets, and crowded crowds, even if it is almost night. Shi Xin came down the mountain for the first time, and he had never seen many things, and his eyes looked around, looking very happy.
Suddenly, a young girl came out of nowhere and bumped into him. He was about to turn around, only to hear the girl apologize repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ......" Before Shi Xin could see her face clearly, she hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.
Shi Xin stood in place and couldn't help but shake his head for a while, how could he be so reckless, but he didn't care.
Looking at the last rays of light in the sky slowly fading, Shi Xincai chuckled and said to himself: "It's better to find a place to settle first." ”
Walking around the noisy market, he came to the door of a small inn, antique, with two layers of structure, and thought to himself: "If the silver is not enough, it is not impossible to find a secluded and clean place outside the city to sleep for the night......
After thinking about it, he touched the money bag on his waist, this touch was dumbfounded, it was not that the bulging money bag became empty, but it was not much worse, he quickly opened it to see, but there were only some scattered silver taels left.
Shi Xin wanted to cry without tears, and said that money is something outside the body, but now it has really become something "outside the body", and it is no longer on himself. secretly scolded himself for saying that he was going to spend the night in the wilderness, but this time it was not fulfilled on the spot.
But he was not stupid, thinking back to the strange girl who appeared just now, it became clear for a moment that he was afraid that she had done it. It's just that there is a vast sea of people, not to mention that I can't see my face clearly, where can I find her? Now it's too late to regret it, so I can only blame myself for being careless and falling for that woman.
He reluctantly flipped the money bag in his hand. The woman still had some conscience, and she left some broken silver, and she didn't know if it was enough to stay for one night.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something again, he reached out in a little panic and touched his arms, and took out a ring with silk thread from his underwear. I don't know what kind of spar the ring is made of, it is crystal clear, and it looks a little shining in the sunlight. I don't know which skilled craftsman carved and polished it, and there is a delicate camellia carved on it, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.
He seemed to care very much about this piece of jewelry, and when he saw that it was not lost, he quietly put his mind at ease. The ring with the camellia was put away close to his body, and then he walked towards the inn.
At this time, in a dilapidated Chenghuang Temple not far from the city, a group of ragged children were gathered among a young girl. I saw the girl take out the steamed buns with hot air from the oiled paper and give one to each person. The children were so hungry that they opened their mouths to bite.
The girl smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, eat slowly, and there is more." ”
"Sister Xiaoxian, why don't you eat it?" asked a little girl, and the others also put down the steamed buns in their hands and looked at the girl.
"My sister ate it when she came back. The girl touched the little girl's head and replied gently.
This kind of lie naturally can't deceive this group of ghosts and spirits who are already eight or nine years old. A skinny little boy asked, "Is my sister reluctant to eat?" After speaking, he divided the steamed bun in his hand into two halves and handed the uneaten part to the woman.
When they saw that the woman did not take the steamed buns handed over by the little boy, they said in unison: "Sister Xiaoxian, if you don't eat it, we won't eat it either." ”
"Okay, good, I'll eat, I'll eat. The girl had no choice but to take half of the steamed buns, and secretly cursed herself in her heart that she would not lie.
Although the innkeeper was old, he was also a relatively kind person, and he arranged a room and prepared a meal without charging much silver taels, and it seems that the merchants in this world are not all as treacherous and cunning as the second senior brother said.
After nightfall, the people in the inn gradually increased, Shi Xin sat on a table in the corner, not very conspicuous, and several tables around him were also full of people eating, although the voice was a little noisy, but it was very lively.
At this time, a young man walked in from outside, dressed in a long robe, fluttering freely, but Ben's handsome face seemed to have an evil aura. Shi Xin was a little curious and looked at it twice, but he didn't expect that after the man finished talking to the shopkeeper, his eyes were on Shi Xin, and he smiled at him before walking into the backyard.
Shi Xin had some doubts in his heart, although he felt a little strange, but he couldn't see anything wrong with that person. I didn't think much about it at the moment, and after eating, I walked to the guest room in the backyard.
