At the edge of the peach forest, the intention of killing suddenly rose, just like the warmth of spring changing the coldness of autumn.

The wind rises, the forest moves, and the sobs are whimpering, like a sad song, but also like a sigh.

Chu Ji clenched his fists nervously, and the two people in front of him were both solemn, obviously killing them. I wanted to dissuade him, but I was stopped by the eyes of the two.

There are man's own ways to solve the affairs between men. Today, no matter who lives or dies, there is no resentment against others.

With a snap, Wu Yan untied the broken knife from his waist and threw it to the ground.

He raised an eyebrow, "Well, what do you mean?"

"Use your fists to sharpen and smash them on your stinky face, and you can relieve your hatred even more." Wu Jian moved his hands and feet, looking at each other provocatively.

The knife is sharp, but it is also easier to die.

Xiang Qi's heart warmed, "Okay, I also saw that your white lotus-like face was uncomfortable."

The two of them were more than ten steps apart, bowed their heads to each other, and suddenly jumped up at the same time, shooting at each other like arrows. Wu Gen used his own collapse fist, this style did not use all his strength, and it was not as fierce as before.

At the moment when their bodies were wrong, the two of them looked at each other, and there was some bitterness in their eyes. Suddenly, Xiang Qi's eyes showed a mocking look, and the fist that had originally hit Wu Yan was raised a little higher.

In this way, the door in front of him was wide open, and there was no half defense, and Wu Gan's fist was chiseled into it like a heavy hammer.

Xiang Qi's move was completely beyond Wu Gan's expectations, and he was shocked and anxious to withdraw his fist. But at this time, the fist style is old, and under the struggle, he only avoided the vital point.

With a muffled bang, he abruptly stopped rising to his feet, churning backwards like a piece of paper, and slammed into the peach tree. Broke three or four trees in succession before falling heavily to the ground.

Looking up at the sky, blood continued to flow from his mouth and nose, and his chest rose and fell sharply.

Three steps and two steps, Wu Qian ran to Xiang Qi's side, lifted his upper body and leaned on his knees, "Why don't you block it, idiot."

"Block a fart, cough cough, you have won glory for the martial arts, if you are stopped, will you still have the face to see a group of brothers when you go back?" Although I am not a person, I can also write a righteous word." Xiang Qi laughed miserably, his face full of self-deprecation.

Actually, I already knew that you were going to the country of Zhu Juan. When you were in the Starfall Plain, you inquired about the route to the Zhu Juan Kingdom. The prince sent someone to intercept you, I am a guard, and if I don't obey, I will be disloyal. You are a model for our martial artists, and if you don't let go, it is unjust, and it is difficult to do it.

But if I am injured and let the thief escape, I can only blame my poor skills. Hehe, Wu Gan, your punch is so heavy."

"Why don't you say it earlier, just make a show."

"You think that the people in the palace are fools, and they can't see the injuries, so don't be self-defeating."

"I'll take you to the hospital, your ribs should be injured, if you don't handle it properly, I'm afraid your life will be in danger." Wu Qian was a little in a hurry, wanting to help Xiang Qi up.

"No, just let me lie here. Don't let my mother-in-law and mother-in-law go, the brothers in the back are also coming, don't meet and make it difficult for everyone." Seeing that Wu Yan was still busy, Xiang Qi was a little anxious, "Hurry up, you can't die, soft fists, that is, scratching and tickling, walking by land, I am afraid that someone will stop me on the waterway."

Wu Yan hesitated, sighed and said, "Then I'm leaving, today's .......

"the girls, get out." Waved his hand impatiently.

In desperation, Wu Jian got up and prepared to leave. Behind him, he inhaled cold air and said, "Don't say it, it really hurts, Wu Gan, just knock me out." Damn, I can't faint."

Looking at the grinning Xiangqi, Wu Yan shook his head, slashed at the back of his neck with one palm, rolled his eyes white, and finally fainted.

After taking Chu Ji out of more than a dozen steps, Wu Yan turned his head to look at Xiang Qi lying on the ground, and solemnly bowed.

Brother is gone, brother take care.

Leaving the peach forest, Wu Gen went to the boat to find the luggage, and did not say goodbye to anyone, hurriedly walked along the river bank, and went straight to Zhu Juan Country. It is already far away from Dongjie City, and compared to going down the river by water, the land route is much more difficult.

Along the way, Wu Gen was cautious, crossing mountains and mountains, and only looking for small paths. I met something that really didn't work

, and he wielded his sword to cut a path.

Finally, Wu Gan's feet stepped on the land of Zhu Juan Kingdom. Feeling the heaviness coming from under his feet, Wu Yan still didn't believe that he had passed through the Zhao Kingdom and came to such a far place for the first time.

Looking back at the west, Wu Geng secretly swore that he would eventually go back.

Since he arrived in Zhujuan Country, he didn't have to be so frightened, and after inquiring all the way, Wu Gen returned to Tuoshui, and it was more comfortable to take a boat, after all, Chu Ji was still young, and he couldn't run around in the wild with himself all day long.

The boat went down the river, and Wu Gen and Chu Ji fell asleep in the cabin. When I woke up, I was already at a ferry. didn't want to make another accident, Wu Gen and Chu Ji did not get off the boat. In this way, after walking for three days, I finally arrived at a big city.

The ship was going to dock here for a few days, and Wu Gan also took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the water from the moon. Originally, I only heard that his home was in Huanjiang City, Kaiyang County, but I didn't know how to get there, so I just took the opportunity to ask.

At this time, he had gone deep into the Zhujuan country, and no matter how long the hand of the King of Jinchun was, he would not be able to reach here.

When he arrived at the city gate, Wu Gen took out the noble jade plate of Chu Ji, which was better than the documents that cleared the customs. No matter where or where the nobles go, they are not to be taken lightly, so Wu Yan and the others entered the city smoothly.

When entering the city, Wu Jian found that in addition to the guards on the city wall, there was also a man in a robe, sitting arrogantly in the middle, pointing at the distance. On both sides, there were many officers accompanying him, and they were waiting for this person with flattery on their faces.

Wu Yan was a little curious, and he didn't know which adult was paying a private visit, so he asked the soldiers at the city gate. I couldn't help but be a little shocked when I heard this, this man in a robe was not a lieutenant colonel, nor a court official, but just a cultivation sect called Xianxiamen here.

Looking at its posture, he didn't take these defenders in his eyes at all, as if it was the posture of the superior.

It's strange how a cultivation sect can interfere so much in worldly affairs. Although he had doubts, in order to avoid causing trouble, Wu Jian had to leave with Chu Ji. I inquired all the way about the location of Huanjiang City, and learned that I had to go ashore after going more than 100 miles along the Tuoshui River, and then turn to the southeast by land.

In desperation, Wu Jian had to return to the boat with Chu Ji, and after sitting for two days, he went ashore again and headed in the direction of Huanjiang City.

When he arrived on the land and walked through several places, Wu Jian was surprised to find that it was really not uncommon to see cultivators meddling in worldly things last time. Regardless of the countryside and cities, you can feel the power of cultivators, and some sects have even become overriding the government and the like.

Whether it is city defense and civil, or cultural and educational crops, there are shadows of cultivation sects, and even the taxes of the pillars of the country are divided into two, one way is paid according to the line of the imperial court, and the other way is to pay tribute to some large local sects.

In particular, minerals, rarities and other materials have been occupied by the sect and become their private property, as if it were a country within a country. The most important thing is that both the court and the people are accustomed to this, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong, it seems to be a matter of course.

Wu Gen was very puzzled by this, could it be that the royal family of the Zhujuan Kingdom could tolerate such a separation of powers. After careful inquiry, it suddenly became clear that this royal family is the largest cultivation sect, and the current emperor Zhou Feng is also a qi practitioner, and his cultivation is not bad.

These sects, large and small, are all under the leadership of the royal family, need to be canonized by the emperor, and have to pay specific taxes every year, of course, mainly for spiritual things. Moreover, some sects are simply set up by the royal family to supervise the local government.

In this way, this Zhujuan country has formed two unique lines, but whether it is secular or cultivated, they are all royal people. The emperor happened to borrow the hands of these sects to continuously collect all kinds of things needed for cultivation.

As for whether there are any sects resisting, come on. If you talk about which sect is stronger, the Zhou royal family occupies the first.

With a sigh, Wu Yan finally understood why Shui Congyue was so disgusted with qi training and turned to martial arts. These mortals are oppressed by both the government and the sect, how can they live comfortably.

Along the way, some hungry people can be seen displaced everywhere and have to attach themselves to the sect, or go into the mines to mine spiritual jade, or plant all kinds of exotic grass for it, or simply sell their bodies to become some kind of furnace and so on.

All kinds of tragic situations abound. Water from the month is most worried

, the fact that aliens are above mortals and fish and flesh has gradually become a fact.

Under the heavy heart, Wu Jian hurried away, such a general trend in the world, not a day's cold, if you want to change this situation, it can be said that it is even more difficult. Shui Congyue's great wish to contend with the cultivation sect with martial arts, to be honest, is really difficult to achieve.

On this day, when they arrived at a place called Danshui, Wu Gen and Chu Ji rested in a small tea shop on the side of the road. It was said to be a tea shop, but it was just a shed built on the side of the road.

There were few people drinking tea in the restaurant, and the tea seller was an old man with his granddaughter. The old man was full of gray hair and wrinkles. The granddaughter looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen, and although she is dressed in shabby, she can hardly hide her beauty.

During the break and chat, Wu Gen chatted with the old man and asked where his granddaughter's parents were and why the grandparents were exposed to the sun and rain here.

The old man sighed, took a puff of his cigarette pouch, and explained why.

It turned out that the little granddaughter's father died in the mine while mining for a local cultivator. After his mother learned the news, she couldn't afford to be ill, and even went back to the West.

Only the grandfather and grandson were left to depend on each other, and because they were too old to do heavy work, they had to open this tea shop to make a living. It's just that business is not very good, and life has always been difficult.

Hao Yan was also embarrassed when he heard it, he had always been willing to take out a tael of silver to pay for tea today. This pot of tea is only five words, but the old man is frightened, and he doesn't dare to ask for it.

While they were pulling, two horses came from the avenue outside, and the people on the horses were all dressed in black robes, and the cuffs were brightly decorated with plum blossoms.

Seeing these two people, the old man hurriedly greeted them in fright, "Two immortals, but they want to drink tea."

One of the men, who had a scab on his face, shook his hand and handed the reins to the old man, and commanded, "Tie up the horse, and offer your best tea, for the fairy is thirsty." As he spoke, he turned to another man with a pockmarked face and said, "Let's rest here for a while, my throat is on fire after running such a long way."

The two went into the shed by themselves, and the old man hurriedly ordered his granddaughter to make tea and serve it to the two.

After two sips, the two began to talk. Wu Jian learned from his conversation that these two people were from the Plum Blossom Sect, and they came out to collect taxes this time.

After drinking a pot of tea, the two of them had the leisure to look around, just when the old man and granddaughter came to refill the water, the person with a mole on his face glanced at it inadvertently, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. This woman looks ordinary at first glance, but when she looks closely, she is full of beauty, and if she dresses up, she is also a beauty embryo.

"Hey, little girl, don't go, let the fairy master take a look at your roots and bones to see if you have the resources to practice qi." As he spoke, he unceremoniously grabbed the girl's wrist.

The girl panicked and hurriedly wanted to break free, how could she be able to defeat the person in front of her with her strength.

The old man was feeding the horses, and when he saw this, he quickly ran over, trying to stop the other party. The man with the mole suddenly brightened his eyes, "It was originally nonsense, but I didn't expect this little girl to really have the qualifications to practice qi, but it was a coincidence."

The other person also looked happy, "Before going out, Hall Master Xu asked me to help find a stove, and I looked all the way, but I didn't expect to meet it here, haha, this tea is worth drinking."
