Volume 1 The Sword Between the Eyebrows Chapter 71 Collecting the Box and Not Accepting People
The wide avenue, flat and neat, stretches long into the distance.
On both sides of the avenue, there are mostly mountains and forests, with the time of the trip, the scenes on both sides also begin to change, at the beginning it is a mountain forest, and then walk one or two hundred miles, you can see some farmland, the terrain becomes open and flat, people can see the road across the road, you can see the location of some villages.
After walking for more than 100 miles, the land becomes barren and green is scarce, and if you go further at this time, you will enter the Gobi, a wasteland covered with loess, which is a public area between the four countries.
All kinds of bandits, robbers, also gather in this kind of place.
In this Gobi area, there is still a place to rest and settle, and there will be a gathering point and some inns opening dozens of miles away.
Although the Gobi region is chaotic, but the conditions are limited, and there are not many masters, the so-called land snakes are just a small gang of robbers, the strength is not strong, there are not many masters, they dare not make trouble in the gathering place, at most rob the past merchants, extort money.
Merchants who pass by in this area all the year round know that this group of robbers is just seeking money, and they can obtain the qualification by handing over about three layers of profits, which is regarded as a business rule, and pays the road protection fee.
What these robbers are pursuing is not a sudden rich, but a long stream of water, with their own rules. Those caravans that don't look easy to mess with, have large teams, and even have Qi and Blood Realm masters, these bandits will not provoke.
All the robbers of the Gobi wanted was wealth, and they thought that they would make enough money, and then return to the prosperous territory of Shikoku and live a rich life. It's impossible to make any big moves, and I don't have the strength.
If a person wants to cultivate qi and blood, enhance his own strength, and become a master, he needs all kinds of pills and spiritual materials, and this kind of long-term consumption is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Just by robbing, if you want to become a bandit leader, the king of the Gobi, and you want to oppose Qi Yueguo, you can only pipe dream.
One month, two months of body tonic is at most to strengthen the body, to enhance qi and blood, it is far from enough, unless there is a powerful high-grade qi and blood realm elixir, or a long-term use of items that enhance qi and blood, you can cultivate to the qi and blood realm and open the path of a true martial artist.
Many of the robbers in the Gobi region are just samurai, in a state of balance of body qi and blood, and some are even "hungry", and a month's harvest may only be exchanged for a few pills for cultivation. Under such a condition of lack of cultivation resources, Zhou Yang walked on the Gobi Avenue, which was very safe.
The lack of resources determines the difficult environment for cultivation. Survival requires effort, not to mention progress.
Zhou Yang had been walking on the road for ten days, and he had basically adapted to this kind of cultivation was not the only life.
At the foot of the mountain, it is no longer an environment for cultivation, and you have to think about all kinds of things every day, and there are trivial things to do. It's completely different from the life of Zihua Wutang.
On Zihua Mountain, there are no worldly things, pure heart and few desires, calm and leisurely, so that you have the energy to cultivate hard.
Cultivation should be in a suitable environment, in the world, the red dust is like a quagmire, people can't get out, and the more entangled they are, the deeper they fall into it.
On the way, Zhou Yang has not only seen the prosperity of the city, but also seen the tranquility of the village, and has been accompanied by people, walking through the downtown area, riding a horse alone, running on the spacious avenue. After many days of contact with people, there is no longer the feeling of being close to the people who came down the mountain at the beginning.
"If I hadn't encountered the attack of the Flame Dryad, I might have moved out of the border area, so I can live in peace in this territory!" Zhou Yang thought alone as he looked at a small village not far away.
Zhou Yang didn't encounter any major danger on the road, he had a storage bag, no package on his body, and he was a single fast horse, few people would intercept him, but when he entered this Gobi area, Zhou Yang obviously felt unusual.
In addition, not long ago, this was the third wave of robbers he had encountered! In the end, he still succeeded in retreating with his own martial arts.
Along the way, Zhou Yang kept hurrying according to the map route on the atlas, and had walked hundreds of miles, passing through most of the distance of Qi Yueguo, if the atlas was correct, he would walk more than 100 miles of straight roads, and he would arrive at the border area of Qi Yueguo!
This journey of more than 100 miles is also the only straight road in Qi Yueguo! There is no detour! There is strict protection along the line, and a large army is stationed, not only a military camp, but also a city is located!
The area where the straight road was completed was the location of this mission! The place where the Four Emperors Cult developed its members! The border area!
Within the territory of the Four Kingdoms, the Four Emperors Cult has not yet penetrated, and it does not dare to develop its power to the key areas of the human race!
In the border area, first, the situation is complicated and the situation is chaotic, and second, once the enemy is defeated, the Four Emperors Cult can also retreat abroad, with the help of the strength of the beast clan, to resist, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, even if Qi Yueguo sends a large army to encircle and suppress, it will not succeed.
Tread, trample......
Zhou Yang was alone and on a horse, and when he was on the way, he finally saw a gathering point of the human race, where there were commercial activities, which could be used by passers-by to replenish various daily necessities, and there were also inns where they could settle down and rest.
"I'm tired from walking for so long, so let's rest for the night!" Zhou Yang made a decision, so he led the horse and walked to the inn where he gathered.
Zhou Yang's horses were still purchased by him in the town under Zihua Mountain, and after such a long time, they have cultivated tacit feelings. Along the way, Zhou Yang fed it even stronger!
A healthy horse, with a streamlined figure and solid muscles! At first glance, it is a good horse full of endurance! Zhou Yang rode a horse to hurry, but it was very relaxed, and there was no such tension and energy consumption as running on his own in the land of trials, and he could see the scenery along the road and save his physical strength.
Zhou Yang rode a horse, he didn't need a whip, he could twist it with his legs, he could make a big turn on the horse's body, and it was more painful to flick it with his fingers than a whip dipped in water!
Ma Er also knew that his master's strength was extremely terrifying, several times stubborn, using all his strength, Zhou Yang also sank his body, so he couldn't bear it, his back couldn't move, he lay on the ground and neighed for mercy, so he was very docile, Zhou Yang patted it lightly with his hand, and knew that it was time to slow down and stop.
"Xiaoguan! help me lead the horse! I want to feed some good ones!"
Zhou Yang led the horse to the door of the inn, as usual, and instructed the small restaurant to lead the horse to the back to feed, and when he was about to step in, the small restaurant in front of the door stopped his body and said: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the small shop was chartered today, and no one can live!"
"Wrapped?" Zhou Yang frowned and said, "Can you discuss it again, this gathering point is a little small, and I haven't seen any other residences, so it's not very convenient to stay overnight." ”
The small restaurant who greeted him in front of the inn said very politely: "This guest officer, I'm afraid this is not good, the small shop really can't accept people today!"
"Then forget it!" Zhou Yang didn't dwell any more, he was going to sleep in the wilderness for one night, and when he turned around to leave, the strong man who was also about to enter the store on the side was unwilling.
"What! I don't accept anyone! Which rich man wants to charter the entire inn! I want to take a look!" the strong man said, robbing Zhou Yang of half of his body, and was about to break inside.
Xiaoguan put his hand horizontally, stopped him, and said: "Your Excellency is a strongman on the Gobi! I advise you not to ask for hardship! You should understand the rules on the Gobi! No strongman is allowed to do anything at the gathering point!"
The strong man pulled out the knife on his waist and said arrogantly: "I want to see the rich man, just discuss, and I won't do anything, if I can't say a piece, I'll turn around and leave!"
So saying, with the knife in hand, he was about to go in.
"The autumn wind has hit me!" The face of this small restaurant sank, and he wanted to hit the strong man in the face with one fist!
As soon as Zhou Yang saw this Xiaoguan move, he knew that this person had practiced a few kung fu skills, although he did not have the powerful power of a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm, but if this punch hit the strong man's face, he could still knock people out with one punch.
"Dare to do it with the uncle!" The strong man was so angry when he saw this, he raised his knife and was about to chop it!
The other hand of the small restaurant was quickly and accurately interspersed, the posture was like piercing the leaves and picking flowers, accurately holding the back of the knife, and stopping the offensive.
With such a block, Xiaoguan's fist had already hit the strong man's face, and the strong man's face instantly swollen, his body shook a few times, and with a bang, the strong man fainted on the ground.
Xiaoguan's body is very thin compared to the strong man, and his thighs are only as thick as the strong man's arms, but he knocked the strong man unconscious with one punch, and Zhou Yang knew that one of the two had practiced martial arts, and the other only relied on a knife.
If you haven't practiced martial arts, you don't know the trajectory of the force, you can only fight with brute force, even if you have a knife, the so-called "knife method" is also a show, just look bluffing, the actual action is redundant, full of flaws.
stunned the strong man, Xiaoguan's eyes looked at Zhou Yang and gave an invisible warning.
Zhou Yang chuckled, didn't go to the collision, led the horse again, and prepared to leave leisurely.
Boom, boom......
At this moment, the sound of dense horses' hooves trampled out the sound of thunder, and not far away, outside the gathering point, a large group of people and horses were about to come in!
Seeing this battle, the face of the small restaurant changed, and many people came out of the inn in an instant.
"They're here, organize the men!" commanded one of the people who came out of the inn.
At this time, Zhou Yang had already made way of the road, only to see this large group of people and horses passing straight through the street of the gathering point, raising a lot of wind and sand, and then stopped in front of the inn.
In the procession, there were more than a dozen carriages, which also stopped.
Seeing the carriage stopped in front of the door, the people who had been waiting for the organization for a long time stood under the carriage, passed each other, carried it by hand, and moved a mouthful of large boxes from the carriage!
When moving the boxes, many guards were isolated to separate the crowd of onlookers for protection. Some people looked at these boxes with greed in their eyes, but when one of them stood a red flag in front of the inn, in an instant, the faces of the robbers, spies, and bandits changed color.
"Stand out! This is the banner of the Wujian Sect! This must be the harvest of the Sect's hunting of the beast clan outside the country, and you must not move your mind, otherwise, a catastrophe will come!" Someone warned in the crowd, and as soon as the words were spoken, many people left among the onlookers.
"People from the sect! It turns out that it was this Wujian sect that chartered the inn! I haven't heard of it. But being able to hunt the beast clan outside the country, I think the strength is not weak, look at these big boxes, although I don't know what they contain, but the harvest is not small!" Zhou Yang looked at the scene of moving the boxes, a scene in full swing. There were a dozen wagons in total, and the boxes that were moved down, a little counting, no less than a hundred!
This inn is ready to accept such a batch of boxes, so naturally it will not accept people to live in, and it is normal to accept no more people.
"Be careful!"
When moving the box, a guy shook a little, his hand was unstable, and he bumped into the stairs, and Zhou Yang heard a click, click, a slight jade crushing sound sounded, and at the same time, a faint smell of blood wafted over the tip of his nose!
"This box, there is a smell of blood in it!" Zhou Yang was a little puzzled, and when he wanted to observe again, several guards looked at him.
Zhou Yang touched the horse's neck and patted it, the horse understood, and slowly began to walk, Zhou Yang led the horse, walked a distance, and then felt the vigilant gaze move away from himself.
