At this time, someone came to Xiao Yu's table, bowed his hand and said, "Looking at the face of the son, it seems that he is not from Zhongzhou." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at him and asked with a smile, "This can also be seen, then where do you think I should be?"

The man's eyes widened, and after looking at Xiao Yu carefully, he said, "Listening to the accent, it should be from Zhongdu." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "My family lives in Zhongdu, this time I went to Jiangdu to visit friends, passing through Zhongzhou, I have long heard that Zhongzhou people are outstanding people, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”

The man who wore a simple Taoist robe laughed and said: "It seems that Gongzi should also be a person who cultivates his body, to tell the truth with Gongzi, there are not many others in Zhongzhou, that is, there are many people in the same way, not to mention anything else, just say that this Zhongzhou City, there are more than 100 masters in the frost realm, known as the frost ninety-nine, and the most conservative masters of heaven and man There are more than 20 people, there is a senior who has cultivated to Tongtian has ranked twenty big masters, and ten of them are called the top ten masters in Zhongzhou, I estimate the top few of the top ten masters, and what Xu Lin, Autumn leaves are similar. And I've heard people say that there is an old ancestor in the realm of freedom living in seclusion in our city, so whether it's the White Lotus Sect or any Jiangnan Daomen, they don't dare to stretch out their hands to our Zhongzhou, how about it, it's amazing, right?"

After listening to these frog-like words at the bottom of the well, Xiao Yu was thoughtful. He did know that there were many things about the ownerless cities outside the fortress being occupied by many cultivators, and the famous Julu City was one of them, in these cities, there were extremely complex veins, maybe a certain old man in the twilight, who was once a master of scattered cultivation on the famous side, and ended up here after offending the enemy. The drunkard who may have to drink every day is the great Confucian scholar who used to lecture and teach in Jiangnan, but he wandered the world after being hurt and finally settled here. Perhaps the black, thin middle-aged man with a lame leg would only notice the coldness hidden in the depths of his eyes when he looked at him, coupled with the Houjian accent that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, that it would remind people of a certain Houjian sect master who escaped from the hands of the Demon Sect back then. In these cities, everyone has their own story, and new stories are happening every day, which are not real or thorough, like a pool of troubled water.

In this pool of muddy water, there are hidden dragons lurking at the bottom of the water, there are fish jumping on the surface of the water, fish and dragons are mixed in one place, it seems that there are no rules, but in fact there are rules. Next, the self-acquainted man began to explain these rules to Xiao Yu.

Zhongzhou is located in the hinterland of Dazheng, the ancient capital of the four dynasties, and now it is entrenched by all kinds of cultivators, and some characters who were originally scattered cultivators are entangled together, forming more than a dozen large and small forces, not a sect, but a sect. And most of these rules are made by these people. Among them, the largest forces have two or three celestial masters under their command, and the rest of the small forces also have at least one celestial master, as for those who do not have celestial masters, they have already been swallowed by others.

Of course, this is a very cliché way of distribution, but it is also the most realistic way of distribution, who is more powerful, who has a big fist, who speaks loudly, whose waist is hard, if the Taoist sect does not have 3,000 disciples, what kind of millennium plan to talk about, if the demon sect does not have tens of thousands of disciples, how to dominate the later construction, and the altar is all over the world. Therefore, in Zhongzhou, the number of celestial masters has become the most intuitive criterion for measuring the power of a sect.

Among these intricate cultivators, there is also such an existence as the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion, but when this man mentioned it, there was a lot of disdain in his words, it seems that the secret guard who is investigating the world is just an ornament in this Zhongzhou, and there is no majesty at all, even with Xiao Lie and Xiao Yu, the father and son who dominate the world's secret guards, here often become the talk of the cultivators after tea and dinner.

Xiao Yu made a gesture, and Qu Cang, who was standing beside him, immediately leaned down, and he said softly: "Go, get a pot of wine for this brother." ”

Qu Cang gently agreed, then got up and went to the counter to ask for a pot of old cellar that was said to be brewed by a secret method, and a jar cost thirty taels of silver.

Xiao Yu pushed the wine jug in front of the man and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, and I haven't asked my brother Tai Daming yet." ”

The man was not polite, first picked up the wine jug and took a sip, then wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "Thirty years of black plum brew, it is really strong enough, brother is refreshing enough, you are a friend, I have made up my mind!"

In this regard, Xiao Yu laughed and asked, "I don't know where Brother Zhang is now?"

Zhang Fangde poured a cup of wine again, and then said with a little self-deprecation: "I forget it, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, brother, I've practiced for most of my life, and I'm still in the realm of the empty underworld, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it into a frost in this life, just such a realm of half a bottle of water, the power I can see, people can't look down on me, I can't look down on me, and I can't look down on others, so just mix alone, and I'm happy to be at ease, at least I don't have to look at other people's faces." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "This cultivation path may not be able to cultivate an immortal realm, but it can always cultivate a little arrogance, and if you want to bow your head, it will be difficult." ”

Zhang Fangde slammed the wine jug in his hand on the table, nodded and said loudly: "This is reasonable." ”

Xiao Yu asked for a pot of tea, slowly poured himself a full cup, and when he listened to Zhang Fangde continue to talk about the general trend of Zhongzhou, he thought about the current situation in the cultivation world in his heart. Except for the bases of the great sects such as Weiguo and Houjian, as the Great Zheng of the Central Plains, after the Tianji Pavilion inexplicably hidden, it showed a posture of princes rising together. In terms of the north and south, because of the wars in the north, there are not many cultivators involved, but in the relatively stable south, it can already be roughly divided into such parts, one is the White Lotus Sect that occupies Huguang and other places, since it is now known that Mr. Fu is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, then the high-level combat power of the White Lotus Sect will never be as simple as it seems, maybe the other two gentlemen of the Tianji Pavilion are hidden in it. And then there is the Jiangnan Daomen that is entangled with the gates of the Jiangnan, as if it is a series of its own outside the seven peaks and six halls, if Du Mingshi can set foot in the realm of leisure, I am afraid that he can take another step, and there is a southeast witch sect that lingers at the foot of the Taoist sect, there is a Wenxiang Sect that is in charge of the real people behind the scenes, and there are seventy-two temples in Jiangnan with the same qi and branches, in fact, the Muguan left in the back hand of Jiangnan, and of course, there is the largest number of Confucian remnants in Zhongzhou and scattered cultivation.

Compared with the intricacies of the cultivation world in the south, the cultivation world in the north is almost like a blank sheet of paper, and most of the masters are in the army, and now Xiao Yu somewhat understands why the proprietor insists on building a capital in the north.

After talking like this for half an hour, Zhang Fangde put three empty wine jugs in front of him, and Xiao Yu's tea had been drunk, he stood up, bowed his hand to Zhang Fangde and said, "Brother Zhang, I have other things today, take the first step." ”

Zhang Fangde was also too addicted to alcohol, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, I still have a little personal matter, so I won't send my brother." ”

Xiao Yu said goodbye to him with a smile and left the inn with Qu Cang.

Qu Cang turned to look at Zhang Fangde, and said softly: "Lord Wang, where are we going now?"

The smile on Xiao Yu's face had completely disappeared, and he said calmly: "You let a few people stare at this Zhang Fangde to see who he is in contact with, and then you choose a cronie to take my token to go to the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion and check what Zhang Fangde said." Finally, let's go find another snake on the ground, and I have something I want to ask them. ”
