24. Chapter 24
What appeared in front of Xiao Ye's eyes was a city that exuded the breath of time, and the towering city walls stretched out, and there was no end in sight.
"It's a big city." Xiao Ye lost his mind for a moment.
According to the records of the Black Dragon Country, the Black Dragon Kingdom has one capital and ten counties.
The ten counties are the land of the ten counties, each county is composed of dozens, or even hundreds of cities such as Utan City, and one refers to the capital of the Black Dragon Kingdom, which is the place where the power of the Black Dragon Kingdom is concentrated, and the land that commands the ten counties.
Qingyang Town, where Xiao Ye is located, is relatively remote, but it is within the scope of Dahong County, so Xiao Ye is a citizen of Dahong County.
Xiao Ye cleaned up his mood and walked along the avenue towards Utan City.
At this time, there were gradually more warriors along the way, and it seemed that they were all rushing to Utan City.
When Xiao Ye walked past them, they looked at Xiao Ye with curiosity, especially when they saw the flame knife behind Xiao Ye, their eyes flashed with greed.
With the knowledge of these martial artists, they can naturally see the extraordinaryness of the Yan Sword. Several bearded men looked at each other, quietly exchanged glances for a moment, and then walked towards Xiao Ye together.
"Humph!" Xiao Ye snorted coldly, the true qi in his body suddenly worked, and a powerful aura came out of his body, making the bearded men breathe for a while.
"It's really unlucky, I actually met someone who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. At such a young age, he has the fivefold cultivation of the acquired realm, and he must be the son of a big family who has gone out to practice. The big men walked away with a look of dismay.
Their cultivation is not strong, and the fluctuation of true qi is only around the third level of the day after tomorrow, so they naturally dare not do anything to Xiao Ye again.
Seeing those bearded men who regarded themselves as the children of a big family, Xiao Ye didn't explain, and walked quickly towards Utan City.
"The Yan Knife is a mysterious weapon, I'm afraid that the innate martial artists will be red-eyed, and it is not a way to go on like this." Xiao Ye thought as he walked.
Although he is not very old, he also knows that the husband is not guilty and is guilty, and once the value of the Yan Dao is discovered, he will face endless killing opportunities.
"When I get to Utan City, I'll find an armory shop and see if I can make a scabbard." A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Ye's mind, and the Yan Knife had a scabbard, so it could naturally cover its edge.
Moreover, it is normal for a warrior to carry a weapon and not attract the attention of others. After making up his mind, Xiao Ye followed the flow of people to the gate of Utan City.
"All line up, don't mess around, the entrance fee is one or two taels of silver per person." At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers in heavy armor was maintaining order, and their fierce eyes were scanning around.
"Do you have to charge a fee to enter the city?" Xiao Ye was slightly curious and looked at the soldiers.
From the fluctuations of true qi coming from those soldiers, it can be roughly inferred that these soldiers all have acquired double cultivation.
"It is worthy of Utan City, even the soldiers guarding the gate are the warriors of the day after tomorrow." Xiao Ye said with emotion, in Qingyang Town, the acquired martial artists are the pillars of the major villages.
Soon it was Xiao Ye's turn, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers defending the city, Xiao Ye took out a tael of silver from his arms, and then entered Utan City with the flow of people.
Stepping into the city, the noisy noise rushed towards him, making Xiao Ye lose his mind for a moment.
The straight avenue in front of you is enough for ten carriages to run in parallel, and the flow of people is like weaving, and warriors with weapons on their backs can be seen everywhere, and there are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the avenue.
Xiao Ye's interest increased greatly, walking around, looking around, and he was dazzled for a while.
Soon, Xiao Ye found a magnificent weapon shop, the three big characters of 'Wanqi Pavilion' are vigorous and powerful, and the pen is a dragon and snake.
Xiao Ye stepped in.
"Does the young man have any needs? The weapons in our Ten Thousand Weapons Pavilion are well-made and are the best choice. The shopkeeper at the counter said with a smile on his face, and he did not despise Xiao Ye's coarse linen clothes.
Xiao Ye went straight to the point and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't know if you can make scabbards in your store?" ”
"Scabbard?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly, then nodded, "Yes, but the guest officer has to take out the weapon first, and let's measure the size." ”
When Xiao Ye heard this, he was a little troubled.
What he has in his hand is a mysterious weapon, what if this shopkeeper has bad intentions?
With the shrewdness of the shopkeeper, he naturally saw the hesitation in Xiao Ye's heart, and he smiled and said: "Young man, please rest assured, our Wanqi Pavilion is a golden signboard, and we will not covet the weapons of the guest officer." ”
Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, took out the Yan Knife from behind him, and put it on the counter, but his eyes were staring at the shopkeeper, once the other party made any moves, he would immediately take action.
The moment he saw the Yan Dao, the shopkeeper's body trembled, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"Good knives!" The shopkeeper picked up the Yan Knife and stroked the blade carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the Yan Knife was extraordinary, but because the observation time was too short, he couldn't grasp the grade of the Yan Knife for a while.
After all, he was just an acquired martial artist, and the mysterious weapon was not something he could touch.
"Shopkeeper, please hurry up and measure the size." Xiao Ye urged coldly.
The shopkeeper was awakened and hurriedly said, "Okay." ”
Although he took out the tools from the counter, he quickly measured the size of the Yan Knife and returned the Yan Knife to Xiao Ye.
"Shaoxia, the manufacturing cost of the scabbard is a total of two hundred taels, you can pick it up at this time tomorrow." The shopkeeper said.
Hearing this, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the silver in his arms was enough to pay for the scabbard.
Xiao Ye was about to tie the Yan Dao behind him, when the group walked into the Ten Thousand Weapons Pavilion.
"Ying'er, I heard that Wanbao Pavilion has a new batch of weapons, you can see if there is anything you like, I will buy it and give it to you." The first person was a young man in a golden robe, with a handsome face, but the flirtatious smile on his face made people not feel good.
Following the golden-robed young man was a girl of about sixteen years old, with fair and translucent skin, rippling water waves in her spring-like eyes, a gauze skirt to set off her slim and elegant, and her smooth hair like silk, she was a good beauty.
Listening to the words of the golden-robed young man, the girl frowned slightly, as if she was very uninterested in it, she coped with a few words casually, and then stopped talking.
But the golden-robed young man had no self-awareness, and kept offering his courtesy.
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of my young master!" From behind the young man, a fierce and vicious strong man walked out and scolded Xiao Ye who was standing in front of the counter.
Xiao Ye was angry, but he still picked up the Yan Knife and turned around and left, no longer staying.
When he first entered Utan City, he was not familiar with anything, and he didn't want to cause trouble if he couldn't make trouble.
"Heh, a hillbilly also wants to buy weapons in Wanqi Pavilion? And don't look at your own identity. The golden-robed young man couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Ye wearing coarse linen clothes.
"Haha, that's it, where is this hillbilly comparable to you, young master." The dogleg behind the golden-robed young man immediately flattered.
The golden-robed young man fluttered up, and was about to walk to the counter, but his gaze inadvertently swept over Xiao Ye's flame knife, and his eyes immediately changed.
"Boy, stop me!" The golden-robed young man shouted.
Xiao Ye turned a deaf ear and continued to walk forward.
"Stinky boy, are you deaf? My young master told you to stop! Several big men behind the golden-robed young man walked out and stopped Xiao Ye with an unkind face.
"Boy, this knife Young Master Ben bought it, you can make a price." The golden-robed young man walked quickly to Xiao Ye's side, staring at Yan Dao with a fiery gaze.
Although he didn't know the preciousness of the Yan Knife, his intuition told him that this knife was very good.
The girl followed and looked at Xiao Ye curiously.
"Want to buy my knife?" Xiao Ye turned around and said with a cold look in his eyes, "I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”
"Can't afford it?" The big men laughed when they heard this, their faces full of mockery.
"Hillbilly, my young master is the second young master of the Gu family, one of the three major families in Utan City, and there is nothing in this city that my young master can't afford."
The golden-robed young man's face was full of rebelliousness, and he looked at Xiao Ye with disdain, hoping to see a trace of fear on the other party's face. But he was soon disappointed, because Xiao Ye's expression was calm from beginning to end.
"Ask for my sword, buy it with your life." Xiao Ye said lightly.
The golden-robed young man's expression froze, and he said with annoyance on his face: "Boy, are you fooling me? ”
"Didn't you make me make an offer? Then I'm making a bid now, and you can't afford it, so what's the nonsense? After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he turned around and left.
In front of the girl, the golden-robed young man naturally refused to suffer, he shouted: "Don't be ashamed of your face, do you really think that Young Master Ben is easy to talk to?" Scrap one of his legs for me, let him climb out of the Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion, and snatch that knife over!" ”
"Yes!" Seven big men walked over with smirks on their faces, three of them reached out and grabbed Xiao Ye's arm, and the other four grabbed Yan Dao.
"Humph!" Xiao Ye's eyes were cold, although he didn't want to cause trouble, he was not afraid of things.
Xiao Ye's feet moved, and he staggered the big man who pounced, and the tiger fist was unleashed.
Bang bang bang!
Only a series of crashing sounds and screams were heard, and the seven big men were blasted out, smashed to the ground in embarrassment, and couldn't get up for a long time.
These seven big men were just refining the strength of the Body Realm, and Xiao Ye didn't even need to use his true qi to easily defeat them.
This scene made the golden-robed young man's breath stagnate, his eyes burst with murderous intent, and he said to the girl beside him: "Ying'er, you are waiting for me here, watch me pinch and explode the bones of this kid's body!" ”
The girl couldn't bear it, shook her head lightly and said, "Forget it, don't worry about him." ”
Gu Yang, the golden-robed young man in front of him, although his qualifications are average, because of the resources of the Gu family, he has evolved true qi in his body, and he has the dual cultivation of the acquired realm.
Although Xiao Ye's strength looks good, his clothes are too shabby, where can he afford to enjoy the elixir, the chance of stepping into the acquired realm is too small, how can he resist Gu Yang?
"If you anger Ben Shao, you should pay the price!" Gu Yang smiled cruelly, his true qi was running in his body, and he smashed down with a straight fist towards Xiao Yemian's door.
The girl's eyelashes fluttered, and she couldn't bear to close her eyes, not wanting to see Xiao Ye's miserable end.
A dull sound suddenly sounded, and Gu Yang exclaimed, his fist was in sharp pain, as if it had been smashed on an iron plate.
His face was full of disbelief, because Xiao Ye only stretched out one palm, and blocked his powerful punch, and he couldn't move forward anymore.
"With this bit of strength, you are still arrogant?" Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly, Gu Yangkong has the dual cultivation of the acquired realm, but the true qi is vain, and it is obviously forcibly improved by relying on pills, not by hard cultivation.
Could it be that the children of a big family are at this level? This is also too disappointing.
"." Xiao Ye's palm flipped, the true qi of his whole body was running, and the fivefold aura of the Heavenly Realm burst out, he poured his fingers hard, and flicked his fingers on Gu Yang's fist.
Yes!
Gu Yang's body trembled, retreated backwards like an electric shock, and finally sat down on the ground, looking at Xiao Ye in horror.
The other party looks younger than him, and he actually has the fivefold cultivation of the acquired realm, which is too terrifying.
The girl opened her eyes with a look of shock.
"I have no grievances with you, but you want to abolish my leg?" Xiao Ye stepped towards the ancient ocean.
Since he has already offended the other party, he doesn't mind offending more thoroughly.
"You...... What are you doing? I'm the second young master of the Gu family! Gu Yang was so frightened that he moved his hands back with his hands on the ground.
Syllable!
But before he could finish his sentence, a loud slap sounded, leaving him on the spot.
"This slap is considered to be a tribute to you, and if you bully people in the future, you should also have bright eyes." Xiao Ye finished all this and turned to leave.
The girl looked at Xiao Ye's back, and a flash of brilliance flashed in her spring-like eyes.
