Chapter 50: The Eighth Floor
Riding the horse given by Lu Wushuang, Song Yi flew out of Taocheng, traveled in a hurry overnight, changed several directions in a row, and did not rest until noon the next day.
In the next few days, in order to avoid the tracking of Momen and Guo Zhiyun, Song Yifei kept changing horses and roads, and only after confirming that there was no tracking, did he stop at a place called Lucheng.
spent a few dozen taels of silver to rent a small courtyard in the city and settled down temporarily.
From this day on, Song Yifei closed his door and concentrated on cultivation.
While studying the body method of "Glimpse of Floating Light", he took pills to assist in the cultivation of "Wudang Jiuyang Gong".
After he was ready to break through to the eighth layer of "Wudang Jiuyang Gong", he was going to Liulin County.
If it weren't for the fear that the sect would find him trouble, Song Yifei would really not be in the mood to go to Liulin County.
At this time, Song Yifei had the kung fu to go back and experiment with the effect of "Purple Gas".
After several attempts, Song Yifei determined that the "Purple Qi Chapter" could indeed remove erysipelas.
With this discovery, Song Yifei was overjoyed and began to accelerate the refining and absorption of the elixir.
Originally, it took three months to refine and absorb the Qi Cultivation Pill, but it only took him twenty days to refine it all, and he didn't leave any hidden dangers on his body.
After taking the pill, "Wudang Jiuyang Gong" also successfully broke through to the eighth layer after a few days of polishing.
"Wudang Jiuyang Gong" broke through to the eighth layer, and there was no qualitative change, but the internal strength increased by one percent compared to the original, and the staying power of the battle became stronger.
After the breakthrough, Song Yifei didn't stay too long, returned the house, and rode to Liulin County.
"I don't know what happened to the fat man and Ah Niu, whether they were caught and tortured by the demon gate, and finally buried their bodies in the wilderness, or escaped smoothly!"
After everything was done, Song Yifei remembered that he seemed to have two younger brothers.
......
Don't fight for the flowers, don't occupy the red, and the snow is full of snow since the sky.
Hundreds of flowers hate the wind to blow down, only Yang Hua loves the wind.
The catkins were originally extremely beautiful, but Song Yifei at this time was a little depressed by the catkins.
Liulin County
"Ahh
Song Yifei, who looked helpless, led the horses and walked on the official road full of catkins and white expanse, rubbing his nose constantly.
It's not that I'm allergic to catkins, but it's mainly that there are too many catkins, and if I accidentally suck them into my nose, it's really itchy.
At this time, Song Yifei, after a few days of travel, had already entered the territory of Liulin County, in order to avoid the ambush of the Demon Gate, he also deliberately put on makeup and dressed himself as a scholar with a fluttering demeanor.
Maybe he really was too worried, and along the way, except for the annoying catkins in the sky, he didn't encounter any danger.
Originally, bandits should be rampant in this kind of impoverished area, but Song Yifei unexpectedly did not encounter one.
It is said that he has been down the mountain for so long, and he has not encountered a bandit or robber, a hero in the green forest, and he doesn't know whether it is luck or misfortune.
"It's a pity that you have peerless martial arts, but you don't have the opportunity to perform them!"
With the help of peeing, Song Yifei stood on the side of the road and pretended to be forced for a while.
At this time, an ox cart slowly came from another fork in the road, and it was an old man in his sixties who drove the car.
The old man had a hat, a coarse cloth over his face, and a reins shaking in his hands. The cart was loaded with farm tools for going down to the field, and most of the cart was filled with willow wood.
"Old man, is the county seat ahead?"
Song Yifei led the horse over and asked with a smile.
"Seven or eight miles ahead!" said the old man politely, taking off his scarf.
The old man himself was going to the county seat, and Song Yifei was not in a hurry, so he walked with the old man.
"Dare to ask Childe, what are you doing in the county seat?"
"I have a friend there, and I'm here to visit him!"
"I see!"
"Is the old man a local?"
"My ancestors have been here for hundreds of years! Hehe! Listening to Childe's accent, it should be a southerner, right?"
"The old man listened accurately. ”
"Childe has won the prize!"
"I heard that there is an old gentleman near the county seat, I don't know if the old man has heard of it?"
"I've heard of it!"
The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It was quite famous a few years ago, but in recent years, I don't know why it suddenly declined!
"I've heard from people, I'm going to stop by and have a look!"
The two chatted while walking, and they talked happily. When he arrived at the county seat, the old man even wanted to invite Song Yifei to his home as a guest, but Song Yifei politely refused.
"Is this really a county seat? Sure it's not a slum!!"
Looking at the city wall full of holes in front of him, and the very dilapidated inner city, Song Yifei finally understood why the Wudang disciples were reluctant to come here to serve.
It is said to be a slum, and it feels like it is in Kwaryulin County.
It is said that it is a county seat, but I am afraid it is not as good as an ordinary town!
Liulin County north and south two or three miles, east and west there is a one or two miles, a total of four city gates, the city is divided into very neat, markets, workshops, residences, everything.
It's just that most of the places are empty, and you can only see a few people, and at a glance, it looks like an empty city.
Moreover, these few people are in shabby clothes, full of patches, and they are all yellow and thin, and they feel no different from beggars.
"Looking at the situation in Liulin County, it seems that it was once rich, and then it suddenly declined, I don't know why?"
With doubts in his heart, Song Yifei found the only inn that was open in the market area.
"What do you want?"
A shopkeeper who was also covered in patches said with a smile on his face.
"A pot of good wine, two catties of beef, and some other side dishes!"
Song Yifei took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Guest, I'm so sorry! The beef and wine are all sold out!"
"Hmm, it's only noon, how can it be sold out? Could it be that I'm afraid that I won't have any money?" Song Yifei asked with a frown.
"The guest officer laughed!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate! A customer arrived in the morning and bought all the wine and meat in the store!"
In fact, the customers in the morning did not buy many things, mainly because the business in their store was not good, and there were not many things prepared, so they would be sold out at one time.
Their shop, which looks like an inn on the surface, is actually a grocery store that sells everything, and it is really helpless to survive.
"In that case, let's get something out of it!"
Song Yifei shook his head helplessly.
After Xiao Er brought the food, Song Yifei sighed helplessly.
I had long seen that the materials here were barren, but I didn't expect it to be barren to this extent.
A plate of steamed bacon with red peppers, a plate of cabbage, a plate of green vegetables, and a bowl of brown rice.
According to the shopkeeper, this is already the most advanced package in their store. It's like chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, fish, shrimp and game in a normal restaurant.
"Little brother, can you tell me why you are so poor here? I haven't heard of any natural or man-made disasters here!"
Song Yifei rewarded the shopkeeper with a tael of silver, and the shopkeeper smiled happily. Regarding Song Yifei's inquiry, he naturally knew everything and said everything.
"The guest officials don't know that our county was originally rich decades ago, but it was only later that a magistrate issued a decree to reduce it to such a field. ”
"What decree can destroy a county?"
"Plant trees!"
"Planting trees?"
