Chapter Fifty-Six: Dry Pine City
Zhang Feng was really stunned at this moment, if he didn't have the opportunity to visit the gods, then what was the point of going to the outside world this time?
His mind went blank, his mouth was slightly open, and he didn't say a word.
Seeing him like this, the bald uncle said with a smile: "Boy, I see that you are in a hurry." In fact, even if the gods are arrested in the Xiude Academy, how can you see him if you want to? Now that he has left the academy, you can also find another opportunity with peace of mind, and you have a better chance of curing your disease. ”
As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a black wooden card a few inches square, and pressed it on the table, "The Ninth Young Master has thought of another way for you, you take this brand to the Miaoyi City in the penal colony to find the Wood Divine Doctor, and he will treat you." According to the Ninth Young Master, the Wood Divine Doctor is the descendant of the Fairy in Miaoyi, and his medical skills are the best in the world, and he is even more clever than the Divine Catch. ”
Zhang Feng had never heard of the fairy in Miaoyi, and he didn't think much of Uncle Bald's words, so he silently took the black wooden card from under Uncle Bald's palm, took a cursory glance, and then put it on the table again.
The black wood card is too inconspicuous, like charcoal that has not been burned thoroughly, if you want to imitate it, it is not difficult to use it as a token, it is too casual, it can be seen that the so-called miracle doctor is not enough.
The bald uncle observed his words and looks, saw his contempt, and said solemnly: "Stinky boy, do you think this wooden sign is an ordinary thing? Let me tell you, this is an agarwood spirit wood, even if it can't be used as a certificate for the wood god to heal diseases, you take it to the merchant's auction house to sell, and when you meet a knowledgeable buyer, this thing can be sold for tens of millions of coins." ”
Zhang Feng paid attention to it at this time, carefully pinched the black wooden card in his hand, and looked at it carefully for a while, although he still couldn't see anything extraordinary, but after all, he still believed the words of the bald uncle, regarded that thing as a treasure, gently blew away the dust on it, and then put it in his arms, "I have long seen that the ninth young master is a bold person, but I didn't expect him to be so generous." Uncle Bald, you go back and tell the Ninth Young Master, I will definitely repay this great favor in the future. ”
The bald uncle said lightly: "You can tell him this yourself." The Ninth Young Master is still in Yishan City, you leave the city to meet him, maybe he will give you other treasures. ”
Zhang Feng pondered, since he had already received this great favor, if the Ninth Young Master asked him for a divine weapon in person, it would be difficult for him to refuse. Thinking like this, he didn't answer Uncle Bald's words, hehe laughed dryly twice, and perfunctory.
The bald uncle didn't persuade much, and didn't seem to care too much about it.
After that day, the bald uncle still lived in the mansion where the goods were stored, but because he was busy handing over personnel and recruiting wrestlers, it was difficult to see each other. Zhang Feng lived in the house for a few days, and gradually felt bored, so he simply went on the road first and rushed to the penal colony to find the wood doctor.
When he said goodbye to the bald uncle, the bald uncle's face was slightly sad, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "If you say goodbye today, it may be difficult to see each other again in the future." Boy, listen to your bald uncle, no matter if you are cured well or not, you should return to Cliff City as soon as possible after visiting the Wood Divine Doctor. The world is about to be chaotic, and only a remote place like Cliff City is safer. ”
Zhang Feng didn't seem to understand, and replied casually: "I know, I've been walking around Yishan City for a few days, and I always think it's more interesting to break the cliff city." ”
The two held hands and talked for a long time, until someone came to urge the bald uncle to check the accounts, and Zhang Feng left in despair.
After walking a short distance, Uncle Bald suddenly caught up, "There is something I almost forgot to remind you, you should not easily confide in people about your origin in the future, and it is best to change your name, lest someone will find Cliff City and affect your friends after causing trouble." ”
Zhang Feng was stunned and said: "I'm just an unknown junior, why is it necessary to hide my identity?"
The bald uncle said: "Everything in the outside world must be done with caution, especially in the penal colony, there are many despicable and cruel people, if you don't cause trouble, it's okay, in case of trouble, it's hard to guarantee that no one will probe your roots and harm your relatives and friends." In short, you and I are the ones who do it. ”
Zhang Feng nodded, bowed, and strode away.
Holding the sword given by his friends in Cliff City in one hand and carrying his bags in the other, he looked for a money house in the downtown of Yishan City, exchanged a piece of purple gold leaf for a million yuan in coins, and then bought a horse at the horse shop and a carriage at the car dealership, and then drove out of the north gate and headed towards Guangming City in the north.
Guangming City and Yishan City belong to the south of the Jin Kingdom, but there are more than a dozen cities in the middle, according to the owner of the horse shop, the horse he bought is a rare BMW, and the foot strength can reach one-third of that of the spirit horse, and it can pass a city in two days, so calculated, it should be able to arrive at Guangming City after more than 20 days.
The reason why Guangming City was chosen as the first station was because it was the closest city with a teleportation array to Yishan City, and after arriving in Guangming City, you could immediately enter Haotian City in exile through the teleportation array, and then you could transfer to the carriage to Miaoyi City.
He planned his route according to the map, and he was not in a hurry when he was in a hurry, and he would stay in each city for two days, walking around and seeing, idling like a tourist.
In fact, those cities are very similar, the walls are as grand as the piers, the streets are as crowded and lively, and even the juggling patterns on the streets are the same, because after spending many days in Yishan City, when he played in other cities, he had long lost the novelty he had at the beginning. However, he was always in high spirits and found everything interesting.
He was particularly fond of watching gladiatorial matches, which generally consisted of two people fighting each other until one of them conceded defeat, and the occasional death or injury would never be pursued by the government, and there was a specific law prohibiting private revenge.
Gladiatorial tournaments have only risen in the last ten years, promoted by the royal family and the head religion of the Immortal Sect, the popularity is very wide, except for a few particularly remote mountain cities, almost every city has a large-scale gladiatorial arena, every day there is a steady stream of people entering the duel, in the audience under the witness of the winner and loser.
Of course, not all duels can arouse the interest of onlookers, most of the time, the stands are extremely deserted, and the scene is especially lively only when the famous figures are on the field, when admission is no longer free, and the ticket price depends on the prestige of the contestant, and there is no uniform standard.
After Zhang Feng left Yishan City, he passed through several cities, and the gladiatorial tournaments held in each city did not require tickets, but could be watched for free, and it was not until he arrived in the seventh city that he finally caught up with a real competition.
The name of the city is the Dry Pine City, because there is a 10,000-year-old ancient pine in the center of the city, the ancient pine has long since withered, but the needles do not fall, and the canopy is still lush like a car cover, which is quite mysterious. The stadium is built according to Augura and is of average size, with about 10,000 seats.
After Zhang Feng entered the city, he found a cheap inn as usual, hid his bags under the bed in his guest room, handed over the carriage to the waiter in the store to take care of him, and he carried his sword and wandered the streets, and by the way, he also inquired about the location of the gladiatorial arena.
He slipped slowly to the arena, and when he was about to enter, he was stopped by two men in military uniforms, saying that he had to show his ticket to enter.
He immediately came to the momentum, and immediately went to the ticket office to buy a ticket. However, the tickets for the grandstand have long been sold out, and there are not many tickets left for the infield, each of which costs 200,000 yuan. This made him hesitate, it was fun to watch people fight, but it was not worth spending 200,000 yuan on it.
After pondering for a moment, and was about to give up, a girl who sold tickets persuaded: "Child, looking at your dress, you should be from out of town, right?" The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom assigned a team of young warriors to tour the country and accept the challenge of young masters from various cities, and happened to pass through our Ancient Song City, this opportunity is extremely rare, since you have caught up, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a look?"
Another girl smiled at her companion and said, "Sister Huanyu, why do you have to spend so much time on a wild man in the countryside? Where did you ask him to find so much money to buy a ticket?"
