Chapter 437: The Secret Realm of the World

Xiaohe Town is a large town in Qingchuan County, with a resident population of 100,000 people alone, which is not much different from Deciduous City, the county town of Fallen Leaf County.

As a newly opened county after the establishment of Luoyun Kingdom, there are not many county residents, and only about 200,000 people are registered. Compared with Moshang County, Yunxi County, which has more than one million county residents, and Yunxiao City, which is the national capital, this number of people is really not enough.

Qingchuan County is also one of the old state counties, and its registered number of county residents is less than 650,000. Although it is more than twice as many as the 200,000 citizens in Fallen Leaf County, it is nearly twice as many as the old states and counties of the same period.

The reason for this is the customs and current situation of Cheongcheon-gun.

Qingchuan County is full of sects in the rivers and lakes, and it is the weakest state and county in the entire Luoyun Kingdom, so many people who come from outside to learn from teachers or enter the sect are naturally not counted by the imperial court, so they cannot be registered. In fact, due to the complex environment of the rivers and lakes in the entire Qingchuan County, the real number of resident county residents must not be below Yunxi Town.

The little officer at the dock glanced at the sailor in front of him with the account book, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be a brother from Fallen Leaf County! What is the so-called matter of coming to my Xiaohe County this time?"

"Ordinary trade goods!" said him, quickly handing over a piece of broken silver, and even his smile became very flattering.

The little official's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and when he saw the other party's appearance with big eyes, he took the silver into his arms without a trace, wrote "a boat of fresh fish in Chunfeng Town" in the book, and then waved his hand to let the sailor leave.

......

"My lord, I've arrived in Xiaohe Town. After a few days of staying here, we can set off here, and in seven days we can leave the country of Luoyun and reach the outer sea of clouds!" said a sailor in a low voice.

And opposite this sailor, there is a burly man, although his stature is not high, but the momentum exuded from his body always gives people a very burly feeling, this person is Yan Mingbo, who was evacuated from Chunfeng Town overnight a few days ago.

He nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Yinren Town?"

Obviously, the conflict between Yinren Town and Fallen Leaf City made him very concerned, and this was the main factor why Yan Mingbo chose to leave Chunfeng Town. At this time, the people of Chunfeng Town were still busy as usual, but their former rulers had become peripheral members of the Feng Shui Gang, and the core elite had all been gathered on this huge ship.

......

Xiaohe Town covers an extremely wide area, even if it is not much more than Qingyun City, among the many counties in Qingchuan County, it can be regarded as a large scale. The convenient wharves and the many rivers that flow through them are also important reasons for its thriving trade.

Located in the northern part of the town, it is home to more than half of the private schools in Xiaohe Town. Corresponding teahouses, wine shops, and study rooms are also gathered here.

The reason why it was chosen in the northern region is mainly because out of the north gate of Xiaohe Town, there is a huge lake. This lake can be called the largest lake in the entire Luoyun Country, with a radius of 100 miles and vast blue waves! Compared to it, the Luojian Lake outside Qingyun City can only be called a small puddle.

And the name of this huge lake is also well-known in the world, called "Xiaoyuan Sea"! This is originally a lake, but it is called by the sea, which is also the most direct embodiment of its hugeness!

As the saying goes, the sea is a hundred rivers, and although the Xiaoyuan Sea is not really a sea, it does have the power to accept a hundred rivers! From Qingchuan County alone, there are three large rivers flowing into it, and two of them pass through Xiaohe Town. Therefore, this town with more than 100,000 citizens in the county has relied on this Xiaoyuan Sea to develop.

The reason why Xiaoyuan Sea is famous all over the world is not because of its size or developed trade, but because there is a academy on the island in the middle of the lake, and this academy is the branch of the Qi Sect of the Yunxiao Sect, called Xiaoyuan Academy!

As a well-known second-rate sect in the world, its heritage is profound, even comparable to many first-class sects. Xiaoyuan Academy has naturally received the attention of Wulin Jianghu, and more importantly, Xiaoyuan Academy occupies a secret place of ancient monuments.

You must know that the secret realm of the world is divided into four categories: inheritance secret realm, historic site secret realm, ancient monuments, and ancient monuments.

Among them, among the existing monuments, ninety percent are inheritance monuments, such as the secret realm located in Chunfeng Town that Li Chengqian entered before, which is the secret realm of inheritance. Of the remaining 10 percent, most of them are ancient monuments of this kind of medium secret realm. As for the ancient monuments, only eight have been discovered today, and all of them are in the hands of the eight major sects. And the even rarer Cave Heaven Blessed Land is not the information that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can access.

Occasionally, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Baili Pingtian, who once shook the rivers and lakes and disappeared for 500 years, the reason why the Eight Great Sects have not been able to determine his life and death until now is because this fierce man entered an ancient monument back then, but he was trapped in it and did not come out!

Of course, this rumor is just a rumor, and the Eight Great Sects have never made any response, but the ancient monuments, the Cave Heaven and the Blessed Land, such a thing is indeed not something that ordinary second-rate and third-rate sects consider.

It is precisely because the Eight Great Sects firmly control the eight ancient monuments that the secret realm of Xiaoyuan Academy, which is a historic site, has naturally attracted the attention of many second-rate sects and even first-class sects.

But after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Qingyun Sect naturally won't watch those other sects bully the former Qi Sect disciples, under the balance of multiple parties, every three years, when this secret realm is opened, there will be many second-rate or even first-class sects, sending outstanding disciples from the sect to compete for the place to enter the secret realm.

Of course, the competition is the competition, and Xiaoyuan Academy will naturally collect a lot of benefits as compensation, and these are understandable things.

......

Lin Fenghuo and the others didn't waste much work, and they found this base in Xiaohe Town, which was a study in the north of the town. From the outside, it looks like it has the necessary characteristics of a payout base, and business is particularly deserted.

After all, it is an intelligence organization, so in terms of operation, the formulation of many rules determines that its business must be cold.

Just like the pawnshop in Qingyun City, because the price is so black that everyone in Qingyun City knows it, and even often acts as a weapon to kill people and bargain in ordinary bargaining, it can be seen that it has achieved remarkable results.

The main reason for these rules is to exclude those who have nothing to do with it, and to prevent the infiltration of local forces.

Although Lin Fenghuo is not a child of the Zhao family, he does not have the waist card that Zhao Long carries with him, but he has the identity of the Lin family. As the actual controller of Yinren Town, the Lin family, whose descendants are descendants, has been filed in the salary list organization all year round. Except for last year, when Lin Fenghuo was kidnapped by Zhao Yuntian, who appeared as Mr. Shui under the authorization of the Council of Elders, he has actually been secretly protected very well.

Just like that day, at the Queshan camp, Lin Fenghuo fought against Helian Tiexin independently at first, and then the addition of the eagle-eyed man and the white ape was no accident!

......

There are not many books in this study, so there are not many readers who come here to borrow books on weekdays, and there are only five of them in the tea room at this time.

I have to say that the tea in the study is really good, although Xiaohe Town does not produce tea, but the trade is greatly convenient, so that the people here can drink delicious and inexpensive tea.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper of this base to walk into the teahouse with a person. The shopkeeper was a short, thin old man, and behind him was indeed a tall young man.

"Eh, why are you here?" asked Qi Chengcheng with a wink.

On the side, Zhong Lingxi's face became very ugly, she originally had a lot of opinions about the grouping of this mission, originally she wanted to go to the Qingyun faction with Li Xintian, after all, she was also a sword cultivator, the Qingyun faction is a well-known kendo sect, as the former branch of the Sword Sect of the Yunxiao Sect, the beautiful girl is still very yearning.

In addition, she was followed by that white imp along the way, she and Li Xintian must have a good mouth!

When the young man heard Qi Chengcheng's question, he didn't rush to answer, but secretly glanced at Zhong Lingxi, and saw that her face was very unhappy, but his eyes didn't look at him, as if he was thinking about other things.

The young man coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Everyone, is his family okay?"

Lin Fenghuo, as Yi Xifeng's sworn friend, has left a very bad impression on this person since he felt the hostility released by the other party in the northern camp last time. That's right, the young man who just came in with the shopkeeper was the son of the Zhong family's chief butler, and he was also the captain of the iron-clad logistics team.

"Oh, who should I be? You didn't wear the clothes of the guard iron suit, I didn't even recognize you, it turned out to be our logistics captain, Captain Zhong!" Lin Fenghuo said in a weird manner.

Hearing the other party say this, Zhong Rui, who originally had a warm smile, his face instantly became a little gloomy. He calmed down his fluctuating mood, after all, the other party was the sister-in-law of the Lin family, and the gap in identity made him dare not contradict the other party at will, but before he could answer, Qi Chengcheng on the side also said with a yin and yang strange aura:

"That's it, Team Zhong, is the meal ready? We're all starving to death! Why are you still here? What is the meal you've prepared?"

Hearing this, Fifth Xiaoxiao, who was still drinking tea, almost choked on a sip of tea, and even Zhong Lingxi showed a mocking look.

The logistics captain, as the logistics support of the guard iron suit, is actually very important for the members of the mission. After all, as the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first! As a professional type of soldier selected from the work of the strong men, if the hat and the armor were the dress of the militia before, then the iron armor is naturally the dress of the regular army.

Compared with guarding villages and towns, defending the homeland and people, guarding the iron clothes is more about going out to destroy the enemy, so everyone knows the importance of this logistics team.

And Qi Chengcheng's words just now are invisibly belittled by Zhong Rui, logistics is to manage food, but unlike what the funny boy said, he is directly in charge of food.

Zhong Rui glared at Qi Chengcheng and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Qi, don't worry, the meal has been arranged for someone to make it, and it will be fine soon!"

The young man nodded, let out a light "oh", and said indifferently: "That's it, then you go out first, we have to discuss the battle plan, you just wait outside the door, and then call us when ......the meal is ready."

The shopkeeper was an intelligence officer, but he was an old man, so he naturally saw at a glance that several people at the scene did not deal with this Captain Zhong, and he immediately said:

"Haha, it's the little old man who didn't do well and neglected you! Don't blame Captain Zhong, he is your person who guards the iron cloak, so naturally discuss here, or let the little old man go and urge the meal!" As he spoke, he arched his hand at everyone and exited the tea room.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of internal friction, so he really wanted to fight together, let them clean up by themselves, hide far away, and decided not to join in the fun.

Seeing this, Qi Chengcheng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Wang Bodang on the side. As the older in the group, the sturdy young man has always been extremely calm. He glanced at Fifth Xiaoxiao, who had recovered from her choking state, and gave her a look.

The girl coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "I don't know Captain Zhong, what mission news has been brought, and it is the first time for us to participate in the mission to leave Yinren Town, so we are a little unfamiliar, and I hope Captain Zhong will not be surprised." ”

Hearing Fifth Xiaoxiao say this, Zhong Rui's originally gloomy face finally eased a little. He glanced at the girl with a ponytail, although she was not as beautiful and noble as Zhong Lingxi, but her wheat-colored complexion and long ponytail made people feel a kind of girl's wildness and vitality.

A trace of greed flashed in the depths of Zhong Rui's eyes, but in an instant, he became very elegant, and he replied softly: "It's okay, you are newcomers after all, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me!"

Then the young man paused again and continued: "Our mission this time is very simple, everyone has also seen, Yinren's high-level has arranged a lot of back-ups in Qingchuan County, whether it is the base of the salary list or the logistical supply, it is no worse than that of Fallen Leaf County. As the first long-distance mission, this time it should be the best conditions!"

Lin Fenghuo interrupted Zhong Rui to continue to work in vain, after all, when he said that just now, he felt that this kind of preparation was like a masterpiece of youth. In fact, several people present knew that this was entirely due to Yinren's high-level decision-making, especially Li Yunbo, who had been lurking in Qingchuan County for ten years!

"Captain Zhong, you still have to tell me about the purpose of our visit to Xiaoyuan Academy this time!"

Zhong Rui opened his mouth, and saw that these five people were all staring at him with cold faces, so he had to cough again to hide his embarrassment, and then said indifferently: "Actually, this mission is to let the five of you enter Xiaoyuan Academy to study!"

"Study?" Zhong Lingxi was startled at first, and then asked.

Seeing that his goddess asked, the young man who originally wanted to take a handful of them said with some reluctance: "The Council of Elders has reached an agreement with the elders of Xiaoyuan Academy, and the five of you will first become registered disciples of Xiaoyuan Academy and learn art here!"

Hearing this, Lin Fenghuo frowned and asked, "Then Yi Xifeng and they went to the Qingyun Sect, is it also this task?"

Zhong Rui opened his mouth, then looked at the other party and smiled: "Young Master Lin, the mission is confidential at this time, I can't tell you ......"
