It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Ye Xing decided to continue walking, after all, buying a horse is too luxurious for him now.

It is estimated that the little silver in the burden is not extravagant, and with his habit of not saving, his little money is only enough for himself for a few months!

There are still two months left before the selection meeting of the disciples of the six major sects, and Ye Xing has nothing to rush, so if he wants to go all the way over, it can be regarded as cultivation.

In order not to arouse the curiosity of passers-by, Ye Xing silently ran his whole body and trained a very small internal force in the meridians, but the appearance was invisible, and there was a sense of dust floating out of the dust when he looked closely.

Ye Xing's practice of slowly walking like this is to adjust the appropriate posture of the body, walking easily and extremely labor-saving, and at the same time, it is also constantly exercising the coordination of the body, and also using the operation of internal force to exercise the meridians.

After walking for 10 days, he passed through many almost mountainous towns, and finally walked out of the Ziyun Mountain Range, because there were maps and there were many pedestrians on the road, Ye Xing did not get lost.

Ye Xing came to a big town by the Beijiang River, Xingyuan Town, Beijiang is one of the two major rivers in Donghai County, dozens of small streams originating from Ziyun Mountain, converge in Xingyuan Town, converge into a Beijiang River, from Xingyuan Town you can take a boat straight down to the county seat, and it only takes 6 days to go down the river.

Xingyuan Town is much larger than Yunshan Town, and the population is dozens of times more, it is completely a small city, and it is full of people on weekdays, which is more lively than the polder day of Yunshan Town.

Because this is where people from dozens of nearby towns have to gather in order to take a boat down the county, this is a transit place, and the transportation arteries have always been prosperous.

Ye Xing stayed at an inn and went to hang out.

The shops in the town are those things, and there are nothing new about them, but there are a lot of people, so the business is very good.

Ye Xing went to a bookstore, flipped through the pages for an afternoon, and didn't find the pharmacopoeia he wanted, he wanted to know what kind of medicinal herbs those unknown things he picked in the mountains.

After asking the boss, I realized that no one will sell really good things, and what is sold here are some common things, exercises, martial arts, and pharmacopoeias, all of which are the secrets of the great sect, and no matter how much silver you have, you can't buy them.

Ye Xing still bought a book about the customs and customs, all of which were some things in the county town and nearby, as well as some idle books such as legends, which could not be bought in Yunshan Town.

According to the book, the Ziyun Mountain Range is very vast, because the stones and soil under the mountain forest are purple-red, very fertile, and you can often see purple gas in the mountains and forests, so it is named. It is rumored that among the deep mountains, it is the residence of the gods.

Ye Xing thought it was quite interesting to read this, because there are many things that can be learned from it, such as this Beijiang, which is the second largest river in Donghai County, and it is called Beijiang from Xingyuan Town, which is considered to be the source of the water of the Beijiang River.

All the people in the northeast direction of Ziyun Mountain travel from this as a starting point, and it is also a place where all kinds of forces have to intervene, if they can control this place, it is equivalent to controlling the northeast of Donghai County, and if you go down the river, you can reach the county town without any danger.

Therefore, the Donghai County Guard has a force of 200 people stationed here, and let a small commander control it, and the main thing is to control the choke point here.

200 people is definitely not enough, in fact, it is also symbolic.

It was impossible for Ye Xing to understand something deeper from it, but he also understood that this was the so-called battleground.

Ye Xing also went to the street to find some delicacies, but he felt that it was really average, he was not interested in food, and he didn't think too much, so he just ordered a few things and tried the taste.

The prosperity of Xingyuan Town is definitely more than the small cities on the earth in the previous life, but it is deserted at night, and there are no street lights, so naturally there is no so-called nightlife, but because the moon is starry, it is not too dark.

Because there are strong soldiers stationed in the town, the law and order is good, at least on the surface, the Green Wolf Gang is also a big force here, but they don't dare to go too far, after all, it is a place where strong soldiers are stationed.

No matter how powerful the Green Wolf Gang is, it is just a small gang force, and it will definitely not dare to deal with the country's army, but the garrison must have also received benefits, and the Green Wolf Gang is also very vicious here.

Anyway, it was just a passerby, and Ye Xing didn't find anything good or bad, but the public security was indeed better than Yunshan Town, and it was estimated that the Green Wolf Gang would not dare to do anything to close the town.

Ye Xing found a passenger boat at the pier, spent 20 taels of silver, and booked a luxurious private room, on the lower deck of the ship.

There are only 8 rooms in the whole ship, an aisle in the middle, and 4 luxury private rooms on each side, this kind of private room is very small and a place for a person to lie flat, but there is a hatch, which is also considered high-end.

Ordinary people only have a small seat for one person with a line drawn on the deck, of course, only 1 tael.

But there are not many people yet, and this kind of passenger ship is fully booked, so let him wait another day.

After waiting for a day, Ye Xing got on a passenger boat to the south of the county town and went down the Beijiang River from Xingyuan Town, and the journey took five days.

The water surface of the Beijiang River is very wide, there is a two-mile-wide river, and the boats on the river are not big, but there are many boats.

The boat he sat in went down the river without much power, and it also used a large oar at the tail to control the direction.

But the boat against the current has sails, and I don't know what else to do, because I didn't see the slender man.

It didn't seem to be an engine, because I didn't hear the sound of the machine.

Ye Xing was curious for a long time and didn't understand, so he still went to ask the other people on the boat to know.

It turns out that the world has long invented a machine device, and 10 crew members sit in the bilge of the ship and pedal, like lying down on a bicycle.

Chains and sprockets are used to drive four windmill-like wheels on both sides of the boat, and the wheels rotate in the water to make the boat swim upstream.

Of course, the manpower is not large, as long as the sails are added, it will be fine.

The deck is very wide, which shades the runners on the side of the ship, so it is not visible, the ship is not large, after all, the manpower cannot reach it, and when the river is downstream, the crew rests.

It's no wonder that there are still slender men, but it's a little different, because the river is open, and the water flow is very slow.

For the first time, Ye Xing was a little surprised to see that there was such a mechanical device in this world.

It's just that it's all based on manpower, and it's not fundamentally different from the slender man, because it also relies on the sail, and manpower is only an auxiliary.

The first two days were very peaceful, and Ye Xing had also been refining the internal force of the water system in the room, and the aura was exhausted and then absorbed back from the outside world.

This kind of exercise of the meridians also accelerates the blood flow and the muscles react faster.

Although the aura of the water on the river is far less dense than that of Xiaolentan, there is also a continuous release and absorption process, which is to strengthen the meridians.

The water aura does not change at all, it is still extremely fine and extremely fine, but it can flow in the meridians extremely quickly, and the meridians have become smooth and tough.

Ye Xing's body really doesn't have much water spiritual power, but the twelve meridians are cultivated at the same time, and the total amount is still considerable.

It is extremely effective to exercise his meridians, but he doesn't know when he can enter the second-layer realm.

Ye Xing has been eating the dry food and water he brought, and he has never left the door of the private room again.

On the 3rd day, there was a burglary on board, where a wealthy merchant in a private room on the ship stole a valuables that he was carrying.

Of course, no one wants to harm the whole ship, but they don't dare to resist too much, just complain verbally.

Of course, the people on the ship were very angry, but they still agreed to inspect it, because it was a valuable item for the Tokai County Guard, and everyone did not dare to be careless, so they let the rich merchant and his two servants search the whole ship.

Ye Xing didn't have any luggage, and the baggage was clear at a glance as soon as he untied it, and the stolen items were stored in a larger brocade box.

Everyone's luggage was opened, and one by one they searched for it, but in the end they found nothing.

The rich businessman's face was dead, Mu Mu looked at the river in a daze, everyone else was afraid that he would commit suicide by jumping into the river, and the boat owner also hid and didn't dare to ask at all.

The ship had been sailing, there was no docking, no one disembarked, and the stolen item must have been on board, but it was rummaged through and could not be found.

Ye Xing had always felt very safe, so he didn't bother to monitor the surrounding situation, even though he was only separated by a few private rooms, he really didn't notice it.

The theft incident made Ye Xing understand that he should separate a wisp of consciousness to listen to the neighborhood, and he must not be careless in the future.

Ye Xing knew that there must be a master on the ship, at least the techniques of light work or stealing were extremely clever.

In line with the principle of not causing trouble, Ye Xing did not investigate this matter again, knowing that his cultivation was not worth mentioning in front of the masters.

For the remaining two days, there was nothing to do, Donghai City was in front, and a big city was on the edge of the Beijiang River, and it began to come into view from afar.

Ye Xing didn't stay in the cabin all the time, but went up to the deck and looked at the scenery on both sides of the Beijiang River.
