Chapter 38: Back to Moon City, the starting place of the long journey
Huiyue City, a city twice as big as the dust.
Chen Yuan, wearing a straw hat, carried a long sword at his waist and walked slowly through the prosperous streets full of pedestrians.
"This city is weird!"
Looking at the pedestrians around him, Chen Yuan secretly guessed in his heart that something big seemed to happen in this crowded city. Everyone had serious expressions, as if anyone who came in front of them was their enemy.
The most important thing is that there are almost no ordinary mortals on the streets, either knights with big swords on their waists, or monks like Chen Yuan.
Martial arts warriors and monks poured into the same city at the same time, no matter how you think about it, it is not normal.
Chen Yuan found a teahouse, asked for tea, ordered a meal, and listened quietly to the discussions of the people around him.
If you want to know a place, a place like a teahouse tavern with complex personnel is the most suitable, and it is also the easiest to hear accurate information.
"The Snowy Dart Bureau is recruiting guards, whether it is a monk from the heavens and the earth, or a knight like you and me. The only condition is that you are willing to give a certain amount of money. I want to give it a try, walking on the knife every day, it is better to join such a good force, and I can also eat with food. ”
Across the two tables, two middle-aged men dressed plainly and carrying large knives whispered.
"I don't want to go, what kind of force is the Snow Dart Bureau? That's the existence of escorting the dynasty, and ordinary people join them as cannon fodder. I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes had come to Huiyue City and asked the Snow Dart Bureau to escort a heavy treasure to the Imperial City. You also know the current situation of our Great Qi Dynasty, if you can't stand in line, you have to die. I don't want to be a nameless ghost. ”
Another chubby, somewhat silly-looking middle-aged man shook his head while drinking, seemingly uninterested in joining the Snowy Dart Game.
"What are you afraid of, this time the Nine Emperor Princes have spent a lot of money to invite immortals who know how to do immortal law from the outside world, with them, we just have to be a pawn of the escort car. Fight and kill, just let those immortals go. ”
"Besides, the Nine Emperor Princes have spoken, once this dart escort is successful, no matter who it is, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. You and my brother have been wandering in this river and lake for several years, and they have not saved up their property, and after getting the silver taels, they will return to their hometown, find a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, and then give birth to a fat boy, wouldn't it be happy for the rest of their lives. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan finally understood why there were so many knights and low-level cultivators in Huiyue City, and they were all here for the reward of the Nine Emperor Princes.
Chen Yuan was not interested in joining any snowy dart game, his only purpose now was to rush to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, and then join the Qinglan Sect and be an honest sect monk.
If Chen Yuan's purpose in joining the Qinglan Sect was just to cultivate honestly, the Luoxia Sect in the Northern Regions could also meet his conditions, why did he have to travel thousands of miles to Zhongzhou?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is the emotions in his heart that are at fault, in his heart, Xuanyun of the Qinglan Sect is already his master, and he is really unwilling to worship others.
There is also one of the most important reasons, the "Brief Introduction to the Monk" says that if you want to achieve the Great Dao, you can only understand the true meaning by walking into the mortal world and experiencing the sweets and sorrows of the world.
If Chen Yuan wanted to be an immortal monk of that avenue, he naturally had to walk around in the mortal world.
Besides, Chen Yuan believed in the fate of the earth, since Xuanyun changed his fate because of a purple flame flower, then there was a causal fate between him and Xuanyun.
After listening to the two chivalrous muttering a few words, Chen Yuan got up and left the teahouse. Imperial grievances are the most difficult housework, Chen Yuan is reluctant to participate, let alone take the initiative to participate, for more than a month of continuous sword flight, only the fourth layer of qi refining he still feels tired, and needs to find a quiet place to rest.
Without advancing to build a foundation, there is no real separation from the mortal body, which is why there are monks involved in the battle for the dynasty.
In the overcrowded Huiyue Inn, Chen Yuan asked for a quieter house in the backyard. He plans to rest here for three days before hitting the road.
"Listen, everyone, I'm talking about everyone, whether you are the overlord of the rivers and lakes who dominates one side, or the monk who flies with Edgeworth, go out and leave the inn. The Nine Emperors are going to meet an important guest at the inn, and anyone should avoid it. ”
The shopkeeper was about to lead Chen Yuan to the guest room, when more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor suddenly walked into the hall of the inn, one of them was nine feet tall, with a fat waist and a round waist, and shouted loudly, and pushed the people in the inn outward.
He was unfamiliar with the place, and Chen Yuan didn't want to be the one who caused trouble, so he walked out of the inn very obediently.
And just as Chen Yuan walked to the door, a short man wearing a scarf and ragged clothes suddenly recklessly broke into the inn, shouting from time to time:
"Killed, immortals killed mortals! Everyone, run away! ”
The reckless man, who didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, crashed into the arms of the nine-foot soldier, and knocked the nine-foot soldier to the ground and rolled all over the ground, and finally rolled to Chen Yuan's feet.
"Where's the bastard boy? Dare to offend General Wu, don't hurry up and get out of here! ”
Another soldier with a relatively thin figure kicked the reckless man in the abdomen, causing the reckless man to roll over and over again, covering his stomach with both hands, and said very unwillingly:
"As a general of the imperial dynasty, punching and kicking your own subjects, aren't you afraid that the Nine Emperor Princes will arrest you and ask you for your crimes?"
The reckless man didn't seem to be afraid of the soldier general in front of him at all, and after getting up, he hid behind Chen Yuan.
"The Nine Emperors? Is the Nine Emperors the one you can meet? Bastard boy, see if General Ben doesn't kick you into eight pieces. ”
When the thin soldier was humiliated, he became angry, drew his saber at his waist, and was about to slash at the reckless.
"Murder! Killed! The Imperial Soldiers have killed people! ”
The reckless man grabbed Chen Yuan's clothes and dodged again and again, since he easily dodged the three slashes of the thin soldier.
"Boy, get out of the way. Lao Tzu slaughtered this nonsense bastard today. ”
The thin monk said this to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan had just returned to Moon City, naturally he didn't want to cause trouble, and his body was lightly forced, wanting to get rid of the reckless person, but that person's hands seemed to be glued to his clothes, no matter how hard he tried, the other party always held on firmly.
"Boy, Lao Tzu said, get out of here, otherwise Lao Tzu will be unwelcome."
The thin soldier glared at Chen Yuan angrily, a pair of vicious eyes, as if he was going to eat Chen Yuan. At this time, Chen Yuan's mind also sounded with the words of the reckless man:
"Fellow Daoist, help me fight again, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards!"
Transmission of sound, a unique ability of monks. Before setting off from Maple Leaf City, Chen Yuan had learned the sword technique from the Nine Dao people, and he had also learned some survival skills among the monks. This telephony is one of them.
Leaving Maple Leaf City is a real uproot, and it is difficult to survive in a chaotic world without mastering some survival skills.
A small Falling Dust County has given birth to an evil sect like the Heavenly Demon Sect, not to mention the vast and boundless outside world.
"Since you are a monk, why should you be afraid of the official soldiers who are mortals. And, why should I help you? Chen Yuan transmitted, and his body tried to get rid of the other party again.
"It's too complicated. I can't tell you the truth. However, as long as you do a small favor, you will definitely have a good offer, and it is likely to be a low-grade magic weapon. ”
Chen Yuan was not allowed to continue to ask and refute, and since the reckless man was frightened, he shouted "murdered" and rushed out of the inn.
At this time, Chen Yuan was surrounded by all the soldiers, and the fat soldier with a big waist and a round waist said angrily:
"You, come with us, dare to disturb the Nine Emperors' reception, do you know what crime you have committed?"
With Chen Yuan's current strength, if he wanted to kill a dozen soldiers in front of him, he would only need a few fireball techniques to do it, but he didn't do it. There are three main reasons for this:
First, it is always bad to use spells in the mortal world. Although the overall strength of low-level monks is not much different from that of martial arts powerhouses among mortals, such as Zhou Changlong, he can kill monks at the first and second levels of qi refining, but monks are monks after all, and they are still subject to the cycle of cause and effect.
Second, the reckless person was obviously not reckless, but deliberate, Chen Yuan believed that he would still appear, and it would not be too long.
The third reason, and the most important one, Chen Yuan wants to reach Zhongzhou, he needs to go all the way south, the distance is too long, not a year and a half to reach, and the difficulty in front of him is a mountain range that runs through the Great Qi Dynasty.
The Great Qi Dynasty was not the largest of the three surrounding dynasties, but because of its geographical location, the environment was the worst, with large rivers, plains, deserts, mountains and ice fields from south to north.
If Chen Yuan wanted to reach Zhongzhou smoothly, he had to pass through mountains and deserts.
With Chen Yuan's current strength, even if the Imperial Sword flies, it may take several years to reach the edge of the Northern Regions. The most important thing is that there are many fierce birds and beasts in the mountains and rivers and the evil cultivator demon sect like the Heavenly Demon Sect, and it is difficult for them to go smoothly with the strength of one person.
From Huiyue City to the Great Qi Imperial Capital, you must cross the mountains and rivers and join the Snow Dart Game, and seeking help is the best choice.
But Chen Yuan didn't want to do things for the dynasty, let alone be an obedient thug.
At this time, the reckless man who had another purpose appeared, and he just took advantage of the situation to give himself a way to reach the imperial capital smoothly.
Of course, Chen Yuan didn't know the purpose of the reckless man at this time.
In fact, it doesn't hurt to know, his Chen Yuan's purpose is pure and accurate, he just wants to pass through the mountains and rivers in front of him smoothly.
Whether it is a mortal soldier or a martial arts swordsman, most of the time they are unwilling to deal with monks, let alone offend monks, after all, even the lowest-level monks are not comparable to ordinary mortals.
It was only at this time, with the Nine Emperor Princes behind him, that mortal soldiers dared to shout in front of a low-level monk like Chen Yuan.
Guarded by more than a dozen mortal soldiers along the way, Chen Yuan was taken to a manor in Huiyue City, the name of the manor was: Huiyue Garden.
"His Royal Highness Qiqi Jiu, someone has brought it."
Walking into the manor, bypassing the cloister, in a pavilion by the stream, Chen Yuan saw the rumored Nine Emperor Princes.
And the fat soldier's words made Chen Yuan realize that he had been targeted by the person in front of him at some point.
