Chapter 226: Finally Arrived in Licheng
readx;? The journey continues. After a night's rest, Bai Chong and the others www.biquge.info, who had been comforted by their relatives and companions, regained the motivation to move on.
Perhaps because the biggest test has passed, the road ahead seems to be a little dull. Of course, they did not lack combat. In such a place as the Land of Chaos, there are always some people who are not long-sighted who will come over to eat fat cows, but these people's strength is not enough, and they can't pose much of a threat to Li Jingxuan, Bai Chong and his party at all. Although the battles were fought every day, the intensity of the battles was not great. It's just some little guys in the forging period and the beginning of the breath extraction. In the face of these guys, even if Sha Xuan and Li Jingxuan don't make a move, they can easily deal with the past with only Qiu Wu and Liang Guang.
The carriages and horses were sparkling, and after the bloody past, many bandits in the chaotic land fell miserably under Qiu Wu's sword and Liang Guang's knife. Although the constant fighting made them always have old injuries that have not been recurred, with the support of Bai Chong's own wound medicine, they still persevered one by one. This persistence has made their strength grow a lot. The two guys, who could only be regarded as ordinary in the middle stage of qi induction, have risen to a considerable level.
In their own words, it is: "I can deal with the three original mes now." That's a pretty big growth. There are four reasons for this dramatic progress:
One is because of their own foundation. As cultivators in their thirties, their accumulation in the Qi Induction Realm was already strong enough, and what they needed to rise one more level was just an opportunity;
The two, along the way, continue to fight, so that their experience is further enriched, the impromptu response is also faster, the connection between the moves has become smoother, and there are fewer flaws;
The three are because Li Jingxuan has been guiding them all the way. Although Li Jingxuan's cultivation realm is similar to theirs, and they are all at the level of the middle stage of qi induction, Li Jingxuan's understanding of swordsmanship is more than a step higher than the two of them. Under Li Jingxuan's guidance, they are more familiar with the weapons in their hands, and the cooperation between the two is naturally better.
As for the last point, it is because of Bai Chong's support. Bai Chong is a medicine merchant, and he always has many pills in his hands. Although his strength was not strong enough, and he didn't have any very good pills, there were still some injuries for the Qi Induction Realm and Body Forging Realm cultivators to use. With the support of these injuries, the injuries of the two always healed relatively quickly. As long as you don't suffer any major injuries that can be seen in the bones, you can get better quickly, and then it will not affect the battle.
In short, with the blessing of these four factors, Qiu Wu and Liang Guang became stronger. They solved a lot of troubles on the road, making Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan a lot easier.
Just, is this ease really easy?
Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan didn't dare to be careless about this, and they were also muttering to themselves about some things.
"Why aren't there stronger bandits coming?" Li Jingxuan was puzzled by this: "Didn't you say that there are a lot of people from the God Refining Realm wandering around in the Chaotic Land?"
"This ......" For Li Jingxuan's doubts, Sha Xuan shook his head firmly: "I also want to know this, but I don't have much clue about it." Perhaps, they are brewing some kind of conspiracy! We must be vigilant!"
"Hmm!" Li Jingxuan also recognized this. The two of them made up their minds to be vigilant.
However, the reality was nothing more than they had suspected, and until the group had completely passed through the Chaos Lands, they had not encountered any more powerful bandits. The three giants of the Chaos Land, the six ghost armies and the forces under them seemed to have completely avoided Li Jingxuan's line, and they didn't make a move. And those bits and pieces, after suffering a lot of losses, gradually did not dare to go any further. Under the influence of Li Jingxuan, neither Qiu Wu nor Liang Guang showed mercy to the attacking enemy. If you dare to come, I will kill you all. After the annihilation of one team after another, the legend about this group of people also became full of blood. The people of the Land of Chaos are gradually coming to know that this team is not easy to mess with.
The Lands of Chaos, bloody, full of carnage, looting, and all sorts of dirty trades, the people of the Lands of Chaos have no idea of turning the Lands of Chaos into a realm of death. In the eyes of all the people of the Land of Chaos, the Land of Chaos is their place of refuge and the source of their survival interests. To be honest, the bandits of the Chaos Land depend on the caravans and crowds that pass through the Chaos Land, and once these people are dead and no one passes through here, then the Chaos Land will become irrelevant.
At the end of the day, it's all about profit. Only when there are interests can there be strife, and only then can there be killing. And all this, after Qiu Wu and Liang Guang and others showed their strength, they were changed. Under the escort of the two, the small-scale bandits came and died as many as they wanted, and the stronger ones did not dare to appear at all. In the end, in everyone's cognition, the strength of this team has been infinitely raised. Everyone knows that they have good things in them, and everyone understands that what they want to pay for these good things is often something they can't give at all.
All in all, the benefits of Li Jingxuan and them are very sufficient, but the price of wanting to get benefits is also too high to look at.
Perhaps, only two or three major forces can unite to achieve this step. However, this cannot be done after all. Because the pay is disproportionate to the gain, because it is impossible for the people of the Land of Chaos to form a so-called alliance. In the Land of Chaos, two teams meet, and either one team fights the other, or one team swallows up the other. There is no third way to speak of otherwise.
So under various considerations, those who were able to take down Li Jingxuan and their party did not make a move in the end, but the people who really made a move couldn't take Li Jingxuan and them. This situation led to Li Jingxuan and his entourage being able to leave the chaotic place "safely" and finally arrive in Licheng.
Licheng is a super-large city located on the banks of the Yuanjiang River and the Ru River. It lay on the plain, surrounded by a massive wall that stretched two hundred miles from north to south and four hundred miles from east to west. It is the most important city in the western part of the mainland, and it is also the key point of connecting the two major river systems in the mainland: the Yuanjiang River, which flows from the west side of Licheng, belongs to the branch of the Luojiang River, and the Ru River, which flows from the east side of Licheng, belongs to the branch of the Baihe River. The Luojiang River flows through the 39 prefectures of the six prefectures on the western side of the continent, and its water branches cover a quarter of the mainland. The Baihe River is the mother river of the mainland, and the mainland civilization originally developed from Tengzhou, where the source of the Baihe River is located.
"Communicate with Luo and Bai, and travel through the world. This is the role of Licheng on the mainland, which determines that Licheng is a large commercial city.
The whole city is rectangular, and within the thick city wall with a height of six zhang and a width of five zhang, the city is divided into pieces by the inner city wall that is staggered one by one. The blue-gray inner wall is the same color as the outer wall, but its height is only four zhang, and its width is only two zhang, which seems to be much thinner than the outer city.
Because of the staggered extension of the inner city wall, Licheng is divided into nine squares and eighty-one squares, which are named after Qiantian, Kundi, Xunfeng, Lihuo, Duze, Zhendian, Kanshui, Genshan, and Zhonghe, and each of its squares has its own theme characteristics. Among them, Zhonghefang is the city, and the official government of Licheng and its attached facilities such as the school palace and temples are all placed here; Qiantian and Kundi are the commercial districts of Licheng, where there is the largest market in Licheng, and there are also the most lively entertainment places in Licheng; Xunfeng, Lihuo, Duize and Zhendian Sifang are the main residential areas of Licheng, Xunfeng and Lihuo are Xiacheng District, Duize is Zhongcheng District, and Zhendian is Shangcheng District. As for the last two squares of Kanshui and Genshan, they are located on the east and west sides of Licheng, which are connected to the port areas of Yuanjiang and Ruhe respectively, and they are the industrial areas of Licheng.
Each district of Licheng has its own rules, and among the nine squares, the five squares of Zhonghe, Xunfeng, Lihuo, Kanshui, and Genshan all have curfews. However, Qiantian, Kundi, Duize and Zhendian Sifang are sleepless all night, there is no curfew, they are the sleepless places of Licheng.
"Licheng...... It is a city directly under Qingxuanzong. Although it has grown to such a scale that it is impossible for Qingxuanzong to completely control Licheng, Qingxuanzong still controls three-fifths of the seats in Licheng in the Zhonghefang Council Hall, which directly manages Licheng. In short, Licheng is now a city jointly managed by the sect, the family, and the Chamber of Commerce—as is the case with most of the big cities on the mainland. When he saw a gray dragon in the northern sky, Bai Chong knew that his home was almost there. As a native of Licheng, he is naturally proud of Licheng, and in front of Li Jingxuan, who came to Licheng for the first time, he proudly introduced the situation in Licheng to Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan.
"Oh!" Li Jingxuan, who was riding on the horse, responded softly when he heard this, looked up at the black line in the north, and raised his eyebrows: "Licheng in front?"
"That's right! That's Licheng...... This is one of the top ten cities in the green underworld. Bai Chong replied with a smile, and he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to the carriage behind, and announced in a loud voice: "You'er, madam, we are home." At this moment, he was infinitely happy, and the smile on his face was natural and high-pitched.
When he got home, Bai Chong's heart naturally calmed down. This journey was the end of the road for him, and he could finally stop sleeping in the open and worrying about it.
"This is really good!" Looking at Bai Chong, who was infinitely happy, Li Jingxuan opened his mouth in a low voice.
Although his tone was as calm as he could when he said this, Sha Xuan could still hear from his words that he was envious of Bai Chong.
"Master, I'm afraid I want to have a home. Sha Xuan thought. She gently approached Li Jingxuan, trying to enlighten her well, but she finally opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She knew what Li Jingxuan was carrying, and she also understood that with Li Jingxuan's character, when everything was not over, he would never really enter a stable "home".
No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was impossible for the master to change his mind. So, don't be persuaded. Sha Xuan reluctantly made such a decision.
Sha Xuan finally chose to be silent, while Li Jingxuan quickly cheered up after sighing: "Let's go, let's go to Licheng! The troubles in the chaotic land are enough to make people's heads big, and I am going to rest in Licheng for a few days." ”
"yes, I see. Sha Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then nodded heavily.
At this time, Bai Chong had already returned from behind. He vaguely heard Li Jingxuan's proposal, but he laughed: "It's good to rest in Licheng! As a big city with thousands of miles from far and near, there are many places to relax in Licheng. For example, Suyuefang, such as Qinchun Pavilion...... That's all really interesting. Bai Chong said and gave Li Jingxuan an ambiguous look, the meaning of which Li Jingxuan completely understood.
Listening to the names of Suyuefang and Qinchun Pavilion, combined with Bai Chong's eyes, Li Jingxuan knew that these should be men's favorite places in Fengyue.
"It's a really good place. But it's not for me. For Bai Chong's eyes, Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head gently. He asked Bai Chong in a low voice: "Where is there a better inn in Licheng?" After all, he had decided to rest, so Li Jingxuan would not treat himself badly. Within the scope of what he can bear, enjoy better treatment, this is what Li Jingxuan wants.
"Well, what kind of inn do you live in? When Bai Chong heard this, he shook his head heavily: "You have helped us so much." If I don't let you come to my house, won't my reputation be ruined? Brother Li, don't you trap me in injustice. ”
"This ......" Li Jingxuan was still a little hesitant.
"Needless to say. Just follow me. I will be responsible for all the expenses in Licheng. Bai Chong made a direct decision: "Don't refuse." If you refuse, we can't even be friends. Bai Chong said with a slight change of color.
"Okay then!" Under Bai Chong's repeated insistence, Li Jingxuan had no choice but to nod and agree.
So, he and Sha Xuan followed behind Bai Chong.
Entering the city is very simple. Bai Chong seemed to have some face in Licheng, and when everyone lined up to enter the city, Qiu Wu under his command directly showed a token to the soldiers guarding the city, and everyone quickly got permission to pass. Even the two fresh faces of Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan were never interrogated by others, except for a few glances that Li Jingxuan could feel at him, he never encountered any scrutiny.
Entering the city so easily, walking leisurely on the wide bluestone road of Licheng, Bai Chong led Li Jingxuan through the Sandaofang Gate and came to the gate of a compound on the side of the wall of the Zhendian Fang. This is the compound directly on the edge of the wall, the location is not very good, but it can be regarded as the location of the upper city. (To be continued.) )
