Chapter 12: The Road to the Clouds
Wuji Sect, the first sect in the Eastern Wilderness Southern Regions (formerly), five epochs ago, Wuji Ancestor was born, changing the time and space rampant of foreign races, slashing the sea god, fixing the sea and leveling waves, and creating a prosperous era in the south of the Yangtze River with his own strength, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
It is said that the ancestor of Wuji and the Sword Emperor are still figures of the same era, and they are also a woman, but they can dominate the world for tens of thousands of years, sheltering the world's poor and happy, looking at the past and present, they are also one of the most amazing and talented women in the history of the human race.
Up to now, the Wuji Sect has been established here for almost infinite years, and the entire Jiangnan has become a paradise, and it has become a button, a button linking the four regions of the Eastern Wilderness, and it is also the largest commercial area in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
After walking for 800 miles, Zhou Mou and Jiang Xinyan finally came here, the prosperous Gusu City in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, Zhou Mou was smoking a cigarette, looking at the bustling town in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion, eight hundred miles, he had never walked such a long way in his life, he had walked for nearly half a month, his clothes were in tatters, like a wild man in the mountains, and the two of them were now like walkers on the earth who started a live broadcast, hiking from a certain place to Xinjiang.
But on the earth, in the safest country, walking thousands of miles on foot, even if they occasionally spend the night in the wilderness, it is nothing, but here, Zhou Mou and the two of them walk in the mountains and forests, which are full of dangers, thieves are rampant, and fierce beasts are rampant, and a little carelessness will kill the tiger.
What's more, Zhou Mou still has a helpless Jiang Xinyan by his side, but fortunately, there is no danger along the way.
However, pressure is the driving force, and Zhou Mou was therefore promoted to the seventh level of body refining, penetrating thirty-six human meridians, and a huge force of 1,400 catties, one punch can really kill a bull!
And under the guidance of Zhou Mou, Jiang Xinyan also learned the Wuji Heart Method, and her talent and understanding are extremely high, and she opened up the Zhou Tianhai Sea in just one day, which made him, a crossing man, very hard.
However, because of the lack of conditions, not enough aura, and no safe environment, Zhou Mou did not let her directly impact the Heavenly Vein, anyway, with Jiang Xinyan's initial talent, it should be appropriate to enter the Wuji Sect, at least there is more chance than him.
"Boom!"
Behind Zhou Mou and them, there was a sudden shock, it was dozens of war horses galloping, for a while, flying sand and stones, the entire road was pulled up with billowing smoke, Zhou Mou's freshly washed hair was dyed with a layer of mud and smoke, but he still hurriedly pulled Jiang Xinyan to hide aside.
These galloping people, wearing black armor of a unified system, exude a smell of iron and blood, and they are tall and big, it is estimated that they can lift Zhou Mou with one hand, and the aura on their bodies is extremely powerful, and they do not hide it at all.
Stronger than people, of course a pug like Zhou Mou doesn't count the temporary face, sometimes he needs face, and he has to pay a price, the strength of these people is estimated to be above the Quenching Blood Realm, when they were in Ziyun City, many of those soldiers who defended the city were strong people in this realm.
The people at the head of the group, their breath was as immeasurable as an abyss, giving Zhou Mou a feeling of extreme danger, and when they roared past him, it was like a mammoth colossus passing by, compared to the other party, he seemed to be an insignificant shell on the ground.
And the side rider who walked in the front was against a flag, with a black dragon woven on it, coiled with a Zhou character, and the cold dragon eyes were lifelike, as if it could see through people's hidden hearts, which made people palpitate and dare not look at it.
"Eastern Wilderness, ...... of the Great Zhou Dynasty"
Zhou Mou's eyes were solemn, and he heard the old beggar say that this world is not only full of sects, but also the dynasty suppresses everything in the sky and the earth, and in the Eastern Wilderness, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a well-deserved overlord, ruling all the sect forces, even if it is as strong as the Wuji Sect, it has to bow down and pay a lot of resources every year.
And the more stubborn refusal to surrender, most of them have been broken through the sect, wiped out the Manmen, or listed as demons and evil ways, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the sects condemned it, and the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty suppressed all things in the world in the Eastern Wilderness, whether it is the gods and Buddhas who cross the border in the sky, or the ghosts and ghosts in the underworld.
"That's the mighty army of the Great Zhou, I've seen it in Purple Cloud City." On the side, Jiang Xinyan saw Zhou Mou staring at the backs of those sergeants, and said.
Mighty Army?
The name is quite domineering, but this momentum is indeed powerful enough, Zhou Mou looked at Xiao Nizi and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Xinyan was stunned for a moment, the dry food and water were all eaten, and she just habitually wanted to say that she was not hungry, but her stomach screamed angrily, her face was suddenly flushed, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.
Zhou Mou touched her little head with a smile and said, "Let's go, Brother Ah will take you to a big meal!"
After being a wild man for more than ten days, Zhou Mou couldn't stand it for a long time, his pampered stomach, every day is either dry food or wild fruits, although occasionally hit a little game, hares, pheasants and even wild boars or something, roasted out is very fragrant, sizzling oil, but because there is no seasoning, not even the most basic salt, lack of soul, I can't feel how delicious it is.
Jiang Xinyan is much stronger than him, as long as she can eat enough, she will be satisfied, and she will not pick at all.
…………
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and it took another half a day for the two to finally arrive at the first city in the southern region, Gusu.
As soon as he entered the city, Zhou Mou felt the prosperity here, the overcrowded streets, even the peddlers and pawns were wearing silk robes, tiptoeing satin, looking at the degree of wealth, it was more than a hundred times stronger than Ziyun City, which made him feel like a mountain man entering the city at the moment.
There is also a strong atmosphere from the shops in the city, the streets are full of lights, full of festive atmosphere, and the pedestrians on the street have joyful smiles on their faces, so that Zhou Mou thinks it is the New Year.
"Is it a holiday today?"
If you don't understand, Zhou Mou looked directly at Xiao Nizi, but the latter also looked strange and curious, obviously knowing as much as him.
"No, it's still early for Chinese New Year's Eve!" Jiang Xinyan looked around like a curious baby, "It may be a custom unique to Gusu City, and Purple Cloud City also has it, but it doesn't seem to be the same as this." ”
"Goo~"
The so-called following the customs, Zhou Mougang wanted to find someone to understand the situation, so he listened to the sound of cooing, not only his own, but also Jiang Xinyan's, the two glanced at each other, and then ran all the way, found a restaurant casually, and rushed directly in.
"Xiao Er, let's have a wild pepper beef, oily waist flower, braised chicken with water fish, taro white eel pot, garlic sweet potato leaves, and a crucian carp tofu soup, and a pot of glutinous rice baked crab pot, Ma Lidian, don't worry."
Looking at the menu, Zhou Mou directly took out two gold leaves, looking like an upstart.
"Thank you Gongzi, Gongzi Yingmei Sword Eye, heroic and extraordinary, I want to come in the future will not be ordinary in the pool, but a carp turned into a dragon, soaring into the sky, I think it must be a sense of heaven, descending blessings, Gongzi first arrived in Gusu, Wuji Sect's five-year road to the clouds will not begin soon, this is destined to be prepared for Gongzi you!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he took the gold leaf, crackled and said a lot of flattering words, and almost didn't shoot the horse's fart to the sky.
was licked comfortably by a wave, Zhou Mou almost didn't directly feather on the spot to ascend to the immortal, no wonder those rich people or big people on the earth must be followed by a henchman, it doesn't matter if they have any ability, the most important thing is to lick and pat on the back.
This made Zhou Mou make up his mind, and when he made a fortune in the future and reached the pinnacle of life, he must have two people who can 'fight the Confucianism' as henchmen, and this shopkeeper is the first choice.
The road to the clouds?
After eating a bite of crab rice, Zhou Mou suddenly felt that his manic stomach was instantly calm, the guy here is quite level, glutinous rice baked crab pot, the rice has a crab flavor, and the crab has a rice fragrance.
After cleaning up with Jiang Xinyan, the wind swept the dinner table like a whirlwind, Zhou Mou felt that his stomach was getting bigger, so he recalled the matter, and pulled the shopkeeper to ask what the road to the clouds was.
After taking the golden leaf stuffed by Zhou Mou, the shopkeeper instantly smiled, "This road to the clouds is the trial of the Wuji Sect once every five years, opening the mountain gate to accept disciples, and I also saw it when I came to the city, and the lights in the city were colorful, just like the New Year, but for Gusu City, this is much more important than the New Year." ”
"As long as you successfully pass the test, you can enter the Wuji Sect and become an outer disciple, and I heard that the big names of the Wuji Sect have added a lot of new ways to play this year, in the past, they only needed to test their talent and qualifications, and those who did not pass were eliminated directly, but this year is very different."
And a new trick?
Zhou Mou thought to himself that this Wuji Sect is also advancing with the times, I am afraid that he does not want to learn from Shang Ying's reform and reform and opening up, but when the talent is good to a certain extent, there will be exceptions, after all, the rules are dead, and people are alive, he should not be able to, but Xiao Nizi should have hope.
He looked at Jiang Xinyan, this little Nizi was still gobbling up, taking a big bite of dry rice, Zhou Mou thought that he was also a foodie-level character, but he didn't expect Xiao Nizi to eat two more bites than a foodie.
Sensing the eyes of the crossing man, Jiang Xinyan immediately twisted her head away, feeling very embarrassed, her little face instantly became hot, and even the snow-white and flawless jade neck gave birth to a seductive flush.
"When is the specific time of this road to the clouds?"
"Three days later."
After eating and drinking, Zhou Mou planned to take Xiao Nizi to buy two sets of clothes first, they were now wearing tattered clothes, like beggars, and they hadn't changed for many days, and they almost stinked.
"Pretty boy, come in and play~"
Yan Ci refused the kind invitation of Yihong Courtyard and Desire Immortal Pavilion, more than 30 big sisters, although Zhou Mou turned back in three steps, but in the end he still fought his way out of the encirclement with difficulty and came to the cloth shop, if it weren't for Xiao Nizi here, he had to pretend to be a decent gentleman, otherwise he didn't know if he could control it to consume.
Zhou Mou changed into a set of white clothes, and then straightened the fan, which looked like a rich son, but he didn't have underwear to wear, and he felt empty under his crotch, and he was a little unaccustomed to this vacuum state.
On the other hand, Jiang Xinyan also changed her clothes and came out, still in the same style as before, but visually it makes people feel more and more pretty, like a girl next door, slim and elegant, quiet and splendid.
"Tsk, it's really a match made in heaven, talented and beautiful, son, auntie, I'll give you a discount, and it can be regarded as a lady wishing you to tie the knot and grow old together!"
The proprietress of the cloth shop was amazed, and she couldn't help but think of the appearance of the dead ghost in her own family when she was young.
Zhou Mou smiled and checked out, and then took Jiang Xinyan, who was full of shyness, and strode towards their future.
