130. Eccentric

The Lost Paradise of the Southern Wilderness divided the Yunxia Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty into two dynasties, the left and right dynasties, with the Lost Paradise as a natural barrier, and the two dynasties were safe and sound. But who would have thought that this Yunxia Dynasty was also the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty tens of thousands of years ago?

If it weren't for the disappearance of the Southern Emperor back then, the Great Xia Dynasty would not have split into two dynasties.

The territory of the imperial dynasty was extremely vast, far from being comparable to that of dynasties.

Even though the territory of the Shengqing Dynasty was several times that of the Baiyu Dynasty, it was insignificant compared to the imperial dynasty.

At this time, on a straight official road of the Yunxia Dynasty, a carriage drawn by four horses was running rapidly.

The old driver is a little drowsy, but at some point he will suddenly pull out a whip to accelerate, or suddenly pull the reins a few times to slow down. It is precisely because of this miraculous driving technology that the carriage is very safe on the road, and the people sitting in the carriage do not feel the slightest bump, obviously some roads are more rugged, but under the driving of the old coachman, they are still on the ground.

In the carriage, there were five people, four men and one woman.

But these five people are divided into three positions.

In the innermost part of the carriage was a woman, with a man sitting next to her and across from her, and the three were apparently together. Sitting on the chair on the left side of the carriage, a Confucian scholar who was reading a book was obviously on the road alone. And the young man in white who was sitting near the car door and holding a package in his arms was obviously another group.

This white-robed young man was Ye Xuan, who had left the Demon Sword Sect.

And the package in his arms, needless to say, knows that what is hidden in it must be Yuzao. The curled up in a ball didn't care about the limitations of this package at all, it only knew that it was sleeping in Ye Xuan's arms, which made it very relieved. And Ye Xuan was also afraid that Yuzao would not be able to stand the bumps along the way, so he stuffed some soft cotton into the package as a foreshadowing, so that Yuzao could sleep more comfortably.

From this point of view, Ye Xuan's package seemed to be more full.

This carriage is going to Hangyuan City.

And Ye Xuan's destination was Su Yucheng, just because only Hangyuan City had a carriage to Su Yucheng, so Ye Xuan had to go to Hangyuan City first and then make arrangements.

Before leaving this time, Zi Yan gave Ye Xuan a lot of silver taels, which were of little use to cultivators, but they were very important to martial artists walking in the world. Like Ye Xuan at this time, he needs these silver taels very much, if he doesn't have these silver taels, he wants to return to the Cold Water City of the White Jade Dynasty, it is definitely a fool's dream.

Just taking this carriage to Hangyuan City cost Ye Xuan twenty taels of silver, if this money was in the White Jade Dynasty, it would be enough for an ordinary family of three to spend for half a year. But here in the Yunxia Dynasty, it is only a month's expense for the poorest family of five!

It can be seen from this that there is a big gap between the consumption standards and living standards between the dynasties.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Xuan had a lot of silver taels from Ziyan this time, he wouldn't have been able to spend it in these places. Not to mention the places that are destined to be unavoidable and require a lot of expenses for the rest of the trip.

If he wants to return to Coldwater City as quickly as possible, then the fastest way is to take the Yunxia Ming Jade Boat of the Yunxia Dynasty to Qianyue Island, and then take a boat from Qianyue Island into the territory of the Shengqing Dynasty. Of course, if he was lucky enough to encounter the maritime fleet from the White Jade Dynasty, he might not need to go around the Shengqing Dynasty and could return to Cold Water City directly, but Ye Xuan didn't have too strong expectations for this.

Because the White Jade Dynasty did not have many traders and maritime merchants coming and going to Qianyue Island, it seemed that there was only the Li family in the impression that it was second only to the four major families of the White Jade Dynasty.

The previous naval fleets of the four major families were slaughtered, which greatly damaged the strength of the four major families, but also made the Li family rise successfully. Because the original trade with Nanhai Zhudao has always been controlled by the four major families, and now the four major families have no ability to form a maritime fleet trade, and the Li family, which was originally unable to intervene, naturally has an opportunity. Therefore, Ye Xuan was not sure whether the Li family would continue to travel back and forth to places like Qianyue Island now.

Because in Qianyue Island, the Yunxia Dynasty controlled nearly half of the market trade, and the remaining half was also controlled by the Shengqing Dynasty, and only the last third was the Li family and some other island residents not far from Qianyue Island to compete. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to continue to operate such a small-scale trade route when they have access to another, larger trade route.

It's just that Ye Xuan didn't have a choice, because it would take nearly two years earlier to return to Cold Water City by sea than by land.

The most important thing is that the sailing speed of the Yunxia Ming Jade Boat is extremely fast.

This kind of large ship produced by the official dock of the Yunxia Dynasty is different from the ships of the Baiyu Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty that rely on wind or manpower, and it uses a certain steam power generated by the burning of coal mines to sail. And it also retains the setting of the sails, which can be faster with the help of strong winds, and if not, with this steam, it is much faster and more stable than that of ordinary ships.

However, after arriving at Qianyue Island, it is impossible for the fleet of ships from the Shengqing Dynasty and the Li family of the Baiyu Dynasty to have such a good speed.

Because the Yunxia Ming Jade Boat of the Yunxia Dynasty was forbidden to be sold to other countries, and this technology of using coal mines to generate steam power was only available in the Yunxia Dynasty. After all, how can a great dynasty with a heritage of more than 10,000 years be comparable to the Shengqing Dynasty and the Baiyu Dynasty?

This point, judging from the fact that the old coachman driving the carriage at this moment is a martial artist of the innate third realm, you can see the strength of the Great Dynasty.

In the Baiyu Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty, the martial artists of the Innate Third Realm were already guests of various families, but here in the Yunxia Dynasty, they were just a coachman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to enter the city. The old driver gently tapped the wooden board behind the driver's seat in front of the car with his hand, and reminded loudly.

The old coachman looked to be over half a hundred years old, but his voice was still very tough, and he was obviously in good physical condition, and his body was not weakened by old age. With the strength of his innate third realm, if nothing unexpected happened, he could live to be at least one hundred and sixty years old, and there were not a few such people in the entire Yunxia Dynasty.

In the carriage, no one answered, and the old coachman didn't care.

His duty is only to take the guests to their destination, and the rest is not in his consideration.

But at this moment, the old coachman suddenly pulled the reins.

This was not the light tugging of the old coachman before, but the strong pull on the reins, forcing the carriage to stop sharply. This did not appear at all in the previous driving along the way, and now that the old coachman has done this, there must be a very important reason.

Ye Xuan's brows furrowed at this moment.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" After a while, as Ye Xuan expected, the old coachman's voice sounded.

"You don't need to know my name. The answer to the old coachman was a somewhat sharp voice, "I don't have any grudges with your Shen Chamber of Commerce, I just came here to ask for a person in your car." ”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's gaze quickly swept over the carriage, he didn't see any unusual changes in anyone's face, but he was keenly aware of the young man in Confucian costume, and the aura in his body obviously surged. The surge of this aura was very slight, but for Ye Xuan, who had been with Taohua for a long time, he could still easily feel it, and it was obvious that the person who was blocking the way outside was looking for this Confucian student.

It's just that what made Ye Xuan feel a little surprised was that the aura in this Confucian student's body was not pure Haoran righteousness, but mixed with a little other breath.

For any Confucian student, the introduction techniques they practiced determined that there would only be one kind of aura in their body. Before the Immortal Realm, the vast majority of Confucian students did not have any combat ability, and only after breaking through the Immortal Realm and transforming the True Yuan in their bodies could they use these heroic righteous qi to fight the enemy, but all Confucian scholars only had obvious restraint against opponents such as cultivating Yin and Evil Exercises.

Sects like the Ghost Domain Sect and the Blood Demon Sect are the most taboo to encounter Confucian cultivators.

In the monastic world, there is a saying in many yin and evil sects: "Ningya Longxiang Temple monk, Mo meets the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and Ning meets the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and Mo meets the disciple of Sheji Palace." ”

This shows how terrifying the influence of the disciples of the Confucian veins is in front of these people who practice the Yin and Evil Exercises. And this is precisely because the disciples of the Confucian vein have a heroic and righteous spirit, and they are not invaded by all evils in the world. Any Yin Evil Technique would be overshadowed in front of them, and its power would be reduced by at least half or more.

But the man in front of him in Confucian costume, although there is a heroic righteousness in his body, there is also a bad qi.

These two completely opposite energies can actually exist in a person's body, which makes Ye Xuan a little curious. Even, if it weren't for the fact that the man's mood just now fluctuated a little and exuded a trace of aura, Ye Xuan wouldn't have been able to feel that there was still such a sinister aura in his body. Although it is not much, there is a feeling of condensation and realization, and such a little bit may be equivalent to the cultivation of an innate first and second realm martial artist.

At the moment, the argument outside seems a bit noisy.

Neither the shrill man nor the old coachman were willing to budge. Obviously, the old coachman felt that he should be able to win against the other party, and it was also one of his responsibilities to be responsible for the safety of the passengers, if the other party was allowed to take people away like this, the reputation of the Shen Chamber of Commerce would also suffer as a result, so the old coachman naturally couldn't give in easily.

And the other party also seemed to be a little jealous of the power of the Shen Chamber of Commerce, and did not make a strong move.

"What the hell are you waiting for?" At this moment, a gloomy cheer suddenly sounded, "It's just a Shen Chamber of Commerce, you are still hesitating here!

"You dare!" roared the old coachman angrily.
