Chapter 8: Xiao Rui's First Time
The Eastern Continent is divided into five major regions, east, west, north, south, and middle, the East Domain is bordered by endless oceans in the east, the South Regions are mostly dense forests, the West Regions are mostly boundless deserts, the North Regions are mostly snow-capped mountains, and the Middle Regions are huge plains, and there are high mountains and mountains in the middle of the period, but most of them are beautiful and there is nothing dangerous.
Each of the five regions has several major empires, the Eastern Regions are ruled by the Loki Empire, the Southern Regions are ruled by the Yuntian Empire, the Western Regions are the Faro Empire, the Northern Regions have the Mok Empire, and the empire in the Central Region is the Holy Heaven Empire, and the capital of the Holy Heaven Empire is located in the largest city in the Central Region, Shengtian City.
Covering an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, Shengtian City is also the largest city in the entire continent, the city is located in the middle of the Central Region, and is the command center of the political, economic, and military forces of the entire Shengtian Empire.
Shengtian City has a population of hundreds of millions, and there is an endless stream of business travelers and tourists who come and go from various places every day. Therefore, Shengtian City is also the most economically prosperous and well-informed city on the mainland.
On the bustling streets of Shengtian City, the bustling flow of people, the vendors selling along the street, and the dazzling array of goods in the windows of the shops on both sides of the road, make people dizzy. The entrances of major restaurants and shopping malls are even more busy, and the sound of welcoming customers is also endless.
On this bustling city street, there is a group of four people walking slowly at this time. The man in front was a man with long black hair tied into a ponytail with a headband and combed behind his head. The face is delicate, the facial features are upright, the height is about 1.7 meters, and the figure is slender.
He wears a cyan shirt with a belt around his waist, a pair of black trousers, leggings, and a pair of thin boots with mille-feuille soles. His complexion was slightly dark, and he looked like a very simple teenager, aged fifteen or sixteen. But dressing up should be what it looks like for a long trip.
Behind the man is a carriage, there are three people sitting in the car, a couple and a girl, the couple is about forty years old, the girl is ten years old, the eyebrows are clear, the hair is combed with a long braid, and the three of them are also dressed plainly, and they look like dusty servants. The boy held the reins of the horse pulling the cart in his hand, looked around, and kept turning back to talk and laugh with the three people in the cart.
The four people in this group are Xiao Rui's family. It turned out that Xiao Rui immediately walked out of the mountains and returned to his home after the Daozun was able to condense, and the family was very excited after meeting each other.
Xiao Rui roughly told about his hunting in the mountains, but he concealed everything about Daozun, and although Xiao Hua knew a little, he didn't tell it. Xiao Rui told his parents and sister that there were huge beasts in the mountains, and if they came out, it would be a disaster for the mountain village, so he persuaded his parents to leave here and live in the Central Plains.
Xiao Haiqing can no longer hunt due to a leg injury, and in the past two years, he has been using the handicraft of making leather goods that he used to know to make a living.
So the whole family packed up the family's property, but in fact, there was nothing, and the house was not sold, but told the villagers the fact that there were giant beasts in the mountains, and persuaded the villagers to leave. Then he went to Baita City to buy a carriage and asked the business traveler for some information. I also had an understanding of this continent, and finally decided to travel for more than four months, and finally came to Yanjing Holy Heavenly City in the Central Region.
On the way to the road, most of the remote roads are so that Xiao Rui can use his family's rest time to go out hunting, so that he can exchange some coins when passing through the town.
Along the way, the family realized Xiao Rui's changes, and every time he went out, he could quickly hit the prey back, and some of the prey was a fierce beast that Xiao Haiqing did not dare to face when he was in the best physical condition.
The family saw that Xiao Rui had become so powerful, and he no longer had the weakness he had two years ago, and they also had mixed feelings in their hearts. After knowing this home, it can be regarded as a real pillar. And Xiao Hua also let go of his worries about the accident that his younger brother encountered two years ago. Thought that the younger brother had solved the trouble and that there would be no more problems.
I went around the Shengtian City, because the city area was too large, and I couldn't complete the city, so I asked someone to inquire, and first went to the trading market to sell the horses and vehicles, after all, I didn't need these in the city, and I rented a small courtyard in a civilian area.
After a simple tidying up, it can be regarded as a place to stay. Then Xiao Rui went to the street to inquire where there was a need to make leather goods, nitrate animal skins, and take them back to Xiao Haiqing to make them. And Liu Fang and Xiao Hua are also helping on the side, making some simple parts.
Xiao Rui is responsible for running errands every day, receiving raw materials, and returning finished products. Because Xiao Haiqing's craftsmanship is exquisite, the production fee charged is cheap, and the huge demand for daily necessities in Shengtian City ensures the survival of many craftsmen, so the daily business is very good.
The family's livelihood is also settled. And for them, who have been growing up in the mountain village, the prosperity of Shengtian City is also something they have never seen before, and the broadening of their horizons also makes the family full of hope for the future life.
When everything was on track, Xiao Rui also began his own plans. Because he often came into contact with businessmen, and some leather goods were needed by some cultivators, Xiao Rui got a lot of news, and gradually learned about the information of the current cultivators on the mainland.
There is no difference between what the current cultivators and the Dao Zun say, but they haven't heard the powerful power of splitting mountains and moving mountains and reclaiming the sea as the Dao Zun said, and the difference between the current Qi training and the cultivation of the intention is not so big.
There are even some sects that have both qi and mind training. There are also various sects on the continent now, there are three major sects in the Holy Heaven City alone, and there are two major families, while some small and medium-sized sects and families are countless.
And Xiao Rui's plan is how to continue to strengthen himself and let Daozun complete the condensation. But if you continue to devour the energy of the fierce beast, you have to find the deep mountains and old forests, but Xiao Rui is not willing to leave his family too far now.
So Dao Zun gave Xiao Rui a second suggestion: join the big sect, there will be some rare treasures in it that will provide him with energy. But the premise is that Xiao Rui has the strength to prove it to the sect, so that the family is worth providing for Xiao Rui.
In fact, Dao Zun has a third plan: kill people directly, kill cultivators, and the energy absorbed will be purer and faster. But Xiao Rui definitely wouldn't accept it, so Dao Zun didn't say anything. Just waiting for Xiao Rui to have a chance to see if he can join the big sect.
Living in a bustling city, receiving and delivering goods every day, Xiao Rui came into contact with all kinds of people, some kind, some kind, of course, arrogant, and scoundrels.
The experience of being a child made Xiao Rui learn to forbear, he was sincere to the enthusiastic, and he tolerated the arrogant scoundrels, in order to calm things down, he tolerated everything he could. So customers in the neighborhood quickly made a good impression of this unpretentious lad. And Xiao Rui has more and more jobs, and the conditions at home are getting better and better.
But all forbearance in exchange for not necessarily calming things down, and some people's domineering and insatiable greed have no limit. This time, Xiao Rui met such a master.
This time, Xiao Rui sent finished products to an old customer, this is a shop, which deals in all kinds of daily necessities, as well as a large number of protective gear used by cultivators, and the leather goods sent by Xiao Rui are some leather goods used by ordinary cultivators.
Some of the high-level cultivators' protective gear was made of metal, of course, it belonged to the big sect, and only people in the big family could afford to use it. Xiao Rui handed over the goods, settled the money, and didn't go far from the shop, when he was blocked by a person in an alley.
This is a middle-aged man, with a burly figure and a fierce face, without a single hair on his head, shaved and shiny, with a horizontal face, wearing a short shirt on his upper body, with an open bosom, revealing his big belly, a pair of lantern-legged pants on the lower body, and a pair of thin-soled leather boots under his feet. Looks like a cultivator. But Xiao Rui couldn't see the level of the other party's cultivation.
The man glanced at Xiao Rui a few times: "Boy, you are quite good at doing work for them, but you charge such a low wage, what should the rest of us do?
As soon as Xiao Rui heard it, he knew that there were handicraft peers who saw that his business was good, and he couldn't stand it. So he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "This uncle, I don't know what you mean, I also have a fair deal with this shop, but I don't dare to rob your business." ”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't you dare to rob my business? I've been making leather goods for this shop for four or five years, but after you came, they slowly stopped letting me do it. Aren't you robbing me of my job and cutting off my wealth?"
Xiao Ruiyi frowned: "This uncle, we have to speak with our conscience, and I also charge the manual fee according to the price in our bank." If other people's shops don't give you a job, I can't help it. If you really think that I have robbed you of your business, then we can cooperate, I will give you a part of the job, you do a good job, I will send it back, what do you think?"
"Hmph, the beauty of thought, unless you give me all the work, otherwise there is no negotiation. The middle-aged man said in a tough tone.
Xiao Rui still accompanied the smiling face: "Hehe, uncle, you have to let me pass the day, right? I'll give you part of the job, we both have business to do, how good." If you let me hand it over, how will I live? I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. ”
The middle-aged man pouted: "Boy, I didn't expect you to agree, but I want to beat you and drive you out of Shengtian City." As he spoke, he rushed up with an arrow step and punched Xiao Rui.
In the face of the incoming punch, Xiao Rui was not in a hurry, seeing that the fist was getting closer and closer to his face, and the opponent could no longer change his moves, so he had enough strength and raised his arm to block upward.
The two arms touched, and with a "bang", Xiao Rui's arm was just a shock. But the middle-aged man was whoop, whoop, whoop, retreated six or seven steps in a row before he could stand firm. The difference in power between the two sides is clearly too great.
But the middle-aged man did not panic, raised his hand and put his finger in his mouth, and whistled. I saw four more figures rushing out from both ends of the alley, each with a strong figure and a fierce momentum, surrounding Xiao Rui in the middle.
The middle-aged man casually pulled out a dagger from his waist and said to the other four people: "This little rabbit cub is quite piercing, and he will be abolished for me together." As he spoke, he stretched out his dagger and stabbed at Xiao Rui. And the other four people were also armed with weapons, and each took out their swords and slashed at Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui knew in his heart that he must have taken too much business recently, which made some people unbearable, and this was a joint effort to drive himself out of Shengtian City. But I didn't expect them to do such a desperate thing, and they wanted to abolish themselves, is there really such a big hatred between themselves and them?
Thinking in his heart, Xiao Rui's hands and feet did not stop, and Dao Zun's training for him in the past two years showed results at this time. Dodging left and right, blocking and kicking with his hands, Xiao Rui did not fall behind in the face of the attacks of these five people.
Although there were many people on the other side and they were armed with weapons, Xiao Rui didn't think about killing, he just wanted to repel these people and let the other party retreat, so he didn't take the knife, but just fought with the other party empty-handed.
The more the middle-aged man fought, the more anxious he became, after all, it was daytime, although there was no one walking around in the alley, but the six of them were fighting here, and sooner or later they would be discovered. And the management of Shengtian City is very strict, if it is found to be fighting in the city, it will be severely punished, and serious ones may be killed.
Although he has a backer behind him, he took the job secretly this time, and he accepted the benefits given by others to do things for others. If the backer behind him knows about it, he won't have any good fruit to eat.
After thinking clearly, the middle-aged man saw that after a few rounds of attacks, there was still no effect, and suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light: "Kill him, kill him." ”
Then, with a long breath of violent, the blue light on his right arm was surging, and it was actually thicker, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out, and there was a sneering sound of piercing the air, piercing Xiao Rui's chest. Obviously, the middle-aged man used the true qi in his body and prepared to assassinate Xiao Rui with all his might.
Xiao Rui used his hand to block, but this time he didn't push it away, the opponent's dagger was still advancing, and it was about to be pierced into the chest, and at this time, the other four people were also agitated with true qi in their bodies, attacking with all their might. Seeing that Xiao Rui could no longer dodge and was about to die under the sword, the middle-aged man's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of pride.
However, as soon as his pride was revealed, it was replaced by anger and despair. Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of "poof" and "poof", and five people were already lying on the ground.
Xiao Rui, on the other hand, had a cold face, holding a knife tightly in his right hand, and the gray mist lingered on the knife. Glancing at the five corpses on the ground, Xiao Rui didn't dare to stop, hurriedly put away the knife in his hand, looked at both ends of the alley, and found no one, so he pulled out his legs and ran.
He quickly left the scene, and went around a few more circles, looking for a crowded place to walk through, making sure that no one would follow him before rushing home.
Of course, all these actions behind this are commanded by Daozun. Xiao Rui was only nervous, although he had killed a lot of fierce beasts, even very powerful fierce beasts, but this was the first time he had killed someone, and there were five at once.
