Nishizawa is located on the west bank of the Tonghe River, and dozens of large tributaries run through the territory of Nishizawa, and on both sides of these tributaries there are countless river basins crisscrossing each other, so that the entire country of Nishizawa can be built on the waterfront.

Liu Fengchen didn't fly far with Qiu Shuiyao and Cailing, they left the royal city for about dozens of miles, and chose a more secluded place to hide, and they didn't dare to show up until they were sure that no one was following them.

The three of them stood on the bank of a river and looked into the distance, Qiu Shuiyao asked, "The surname is Liu, where are we now?"

Liu Fengchen had already guessed in his heart, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said with a smile: "When I was flying on it just now, I saw a big river in the east with no boundless edge, if my expectation is correct, this should be a certain basin of the river." ”

Previously in the air, Liu Fengchen was really shocked by the big river in the east, the width alone could not be measured, and he couldn't see the edge of the opposite bank at all.

The north of Tonghe leads to Zhongzhou, and since you have come to the vicinity of Tonghe, it is much easier to return to Zhongzhou.

It's just that Liu Fengchen doesn't know much about the country they are in now, and he doesn't know if there is a teleportation array that can lead to Zhongzhou, and even if there is, he doesn't dare to take the liberty of taking it, because the strength of this country is not weak, and when he first came, he sensed the aura of a strong martial emperor.

Qiu Shuiyao continued to ask, "Then where are we going next?"

Liu Fengchen replied: "Since you're here, let's stay here for a few days!"

In order to avoid trouble, Liu Fengchen decided to stay in the cluster for a few days first, anyway, he had already arrived at Tonghe, and it was not too late to inquire more about it before applying to take the teleportation array.

Cailing has no opinion on this, although she, like Qiu Shuiyao, doesn't know where Tonghe is, but she still trusts Liu Fengchen very much, and she used to stay in a dark cave for twenty or thirty years, full of infinite desire for the outside world, just take this opportunity to have a good experience.

The three of them walked along the river bank for a short time, and saw a boat floating slowly towards this side, and after approaching, Liu Fengchen saw that this was just an ordinary canopy boat, and at the stern of the boat, a boatman wearing a hat and a rain coat on his shoulders and his face could not see clearly was gently swinging his tail oar.

Liu Fengchen beckoned to the boatman, and the canopy slowly docked, and the three of them realized that the boatman was actually a rather delicate-looking girl, only a few points worse than Qiu Shuiyao, and her age was about twenty years old.

The girl on the boat saw that the three of them had extraordinary temperaments, but there was not much fear in their eyes, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Liu Fengchen arched his hand at her and said with a smile: "The three of us are all from other places, and we are not very familiar with the road, so I want to ask the girl to give us a ride!"

Seeing Liu Fengchen's humble and easy-going appearance, followed by a beautiful woman like a fairy, the girl didn't have much doubt about Liu Fengchen's words.

Now on the occasion of the big competition between Xize and Dongze, there are indeed a lot of people who come to see the excitement, these people are extremely rich or expensive, she has also met a lot in recent days, and I feel that it is very consistent with Liu Fengchen's temperament.

The girl smiled and said, "If you don't dislike my dilapidated boat, come up!"

Liu Fengchen arched his hand and said, "Thank you, girl!"

The three of them got on the boat, and the boat girl said, "I don't know where you want to go?"

"When we first arrived, we didn't know the customs of your place, and I don't know where the girl knows the most well-informed?"

The girl was not surprised, and said: "Of course, it is the most suitable royal city to inquire about the news, but the royal city is the location of some princes and nobles, and the restrictions are relatively strict, if a few people come to my Xize to play, it is better to go to Lingze City, it just so happens that I am also going there, not far from here!"

Liu Fengchen said: "Then according to what the girl said, just take us to Lingze City!"

The girl nodded and walked to the stern, Liu Fengchen saw her hand take out a spirit stone in the cloth bag around her waist, she was a little surprised, she didn't deliberately sense it before, she didn't expect that this girl was actually a martial artist, and her cultivation was higher than Qiu Shuiyao's, reaching the early stage.

When Liu Fengchen was curious about what the girl was going to do when she took out the spirit stone, she saw the girl slap the spirit stone in her hand into a groove in the stern of the boat, and the hull of the boat trembled slightly, and then in his surprised gaze, the whole boat went forward without the girl paddling, and the speed was not slow.

"Will this boat still eat spirit stones?" Qiu Shuiyao let out an exclamation when he saw this scene.

Liu Fengchen said with a smile: "What do you eat spirit stones! This boat is a treasure!"

The girl standing at the stern of the boat couldn't help but sigh and explained: "This son is good, this boat is indeed a treasure, we have countless rivers in Xize, and it is often inconvenient to go out on foot, so Lord Qiwang invented this boat-shaped treasure in order to walk out of school."

"Instrument King?" Liu Fengchen asked with some curiosity, "I don't know who this Instrument King is?"

The girl looked at Liu Fengchen with some confusion in her eyes, and said, "Didn't a few of you come to my country to visit the Danqi Competition? Why don't you even recognize the Lord of the Instrument King?"

Liu Fengchen shook his head and said, "We are just passing by, and we have never heard of it before, can you please explain to us in detail what kind of grand event this Dan Weapon Contest is?

The girl smiled: "It turns out that you don't know our Xize Kingdom, then you are really here, there is less than a month to go and see the day of the Dan Weapon Competition, then you can go and see, the scene is absolutely spectacular, maybe you will be lucky enough to meet the Lord of the Weapon King!"

Then the girl and Liu Fengchen told the origin of the Dan Weapon Conference, after listening, Liu Fengchen deeply admired the two predecessors of the King of Weapons and the King of Dan, in the face of the vast army of the enemy country, the two seniors still rode the wind and waves to rush into the enemy formation, and dared to challenge the enemy country in the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, this kind of loyalty and courage is indeed awe-inspiring.

When the girl arrived here, her face was a little sad, and she said: "It's a pity that Lord Danwang passed away two hundred years ago, otherwise, with two adults in charge, our Nishizawa will definitely be much stronger than now!"

Liu Fengchen was a little surprised and said: "The predecessors of King Dan are extremely high in cultivation and proficient in alchemy, why is his life so short?"

The girl shook her head gloomily and said, "I'm afraid that the death of King Dan's predecessors is only known to all the adults in the royal city, and we don't know the specific matters!"

Liu Fengchen sighed secretly that it was a pity, but he also learned from the girl's mouth that these two characters who could be called peerless and proud were actually disciples of Zhongzhou Academy, which was really unexpected for him, if he could meet this weapon king and explain his identity, maybe this weapon king senior could help him point him some ways to refine weapons.

He is still more interested in refining weapons, and he can refine a unique weapon with a soul in the world today, this kind of endowment cannot be wasted.

I made up my mind that if I had the chance, I would definitely meet this senior of the Weapon King.

"The predecessors of the Dan King have been passed down through the ages, and the girl doesn't have to be so sentimental!" Liu Fengchen comforted, and then asked, "Does the girl know the specific rules of this Dan Weapon Competition?"

The girl eased her nerves and slowly explained the big competition between the two countries to Liu Fengchen.

The main content of the Dan Weapon Contest is the competition between our Xize Kingdom and the Dongze Kingdom, each country sends ten top talents, alchemy and refining weapons each five, not a one-on-one competition, but a bit like a ring match, each side sends a disciple to participate in the competition, one of them will be defeated by the second place, and the winner can choose to continue the competition, or temporarily leave the field, and wait for their side to make up when no one can play.

There is only one requirement for the competition, that is, the age must not exceed thirty years old, and no matter the rest, even if it is a first-grade refiner or alchemist, it can also play, of course, the two countries will definitely not send such a low-level refiner.

At this point, the girl's tone was a little helpless, and said: "This rule, this year is a little unfavorable for us Nishizawa, as the leader of the refiner competition on behalf of Nishizawa, the eldest prince is just thirty-one years old this year, that is, this year, our Nishizawa will be much less powerful in the refining vein, a few days ago, Wangcheng has posted a notice, recruiting all refiners under the age of thirty in the country to participate in a competition before the big competition, and select a better refiner, hoping to make up for the vacancy of the eldest prince." ”

Liu Fengchen asked, "Can anyone go to this competition?"

"Of course not, after all, it is to represent the refiners of the entire Nishizawa to participate in the big competition, and there is one more requirement, in addition to the age requirement, the level of its refiner is also specified above the second grade, but the probability of the second-grade refiner being selected is not large, because the eldest prince is a fourth-grade refiner, and the royal family will at least choose a third-grade refiner, otherwise it is better not to choose. ”

Liu Fengchen knew in his heart that a first-grade to second-grade refiner could refine mortal weapons, from simple to refined, and in the future, he would be a third-grade refiner who could refine treasure weapons, and it just so happened that he would be able to refine treasure weapons now.

It's not that Liu Fengchen is a third-grade refiner, at the beginning, he just wanted to try his hand and randomly picked some low-level ore refining, and he was still comfortable refining three treasure weapons in a row, and he felt that he could at least reach a fourth-grade refiner, and it should be simple to participate in this competition.

Just thinking about it in his heart, Qiu Shuiyao on the side patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "The surname Liu, I think you can go to this competition, if you take this black knife you gave me to the competition venue, it will definitely scare people!"

Liu Fengchen glanced at her helplessly, this girl just doesn't remember, how many times have I been with her, a weapon with a soul is absolutely not allowed to appear in the world, but since there is a weapon king here, it shouldn't matter if she shows up.

As a disciple of Zhongzhou Academy, and the Weapon King is the predecessor of the Red Blood Pill Heart, he will definitely not covet Liu Fengchen's refining methods, but what worries Liu Fengchen is that Dongze Kingdom on the other side of the river.

From the beginning of the girl's story, he didn't have much of a good impression of Dongzeguo, in case Dongzeguo wanted to stumble on him, he really couldn't deal with this country with the same strength as Xize, unless he could get the death protection of the King of Weapons, but he didn't dare to put his life in the hands of others

Whether the soul can appear in the world, this matter has to be carefully considered, not in a hurry, at least you have to meet this weapon king before making plans. The sun was shining, the river was shining with golden scales, and a canopy boat was speeding in from a distance, and the stars on both sides of the stern were splashing, setting up a faint rainbow light.

Less than a quarter of an hour has passed since Liu Fengchen and them got on the boat, and after turning a few corners, only a wider river is horizontally at the end of the river in front of them, and there are boats slowly passing on it from time to time.

"The big river in front is called Linghuang River, and on the other side is Lingze City. The girl whispered to the threesome.

As the boat merged into the Linghuang River, Liu Fengchen was really amazed by the scene in front of him, as far as his eyes could see, on the surface of the river that was thousands of meters wide, tall building boats were staggered and slowly moving with each other, and there were countless boats floating on the side, all of which were lined up in an orderly queue to form a long dragon boat, and there was almost no end in sight.

The boatmen on each boat were casting nets to fish, and Liu Fengchen found that they could catch a lot of fish when they went down the net, but these boatmen didn't seem to have much joy on their faces, and some even shook their heads and sighed at the fishing nets that had a lot of harvest, which made him feel a little strange.

His gaze did not stop, and more than these, what attracted him more were the boats that were driving on the middle of the river.

The most of these boats are thirty or forty meters long, and the largest ones can almost reach hundreds of meters, and there are all kinds of attics built on them, which look magnificent, and it is obvious that these boats are the protagonists of this river.

Some men and women dressed in jade clothes stood in the corridors of the attic, pointing at the scenery on both sides of the riverbank, and the sound of laughter and jokes spread throughout the river.

Even if there are countless large boats on the river, they do not seem crowded at all, even those buildings with hulls comparable to warships, on this Linghuang River, which is thousands of meters wide, it is enough to accommodate more than a dozen side by side, not to mention that these building boats are all lined up in several columns in an orderly manner, so there is still a basin close to hundreds of meters wide in the middle of the Linghuang River.

For the girl's Lingze City, Liu Fengchen was a little puzzled, he didn't see a tall city wall built from the other side, the buildings on both sides of the bank were all about the same, and he couldn't see the difference, why the other side of the river was Lingze City.

After observing for a while, Liu Fengchen finally discovered the difference between the two sides of the river, and he found that the buildings in the area where they came were all built on land, but there was no land under the buildings on the opposite bank, and each attic was supported by thick giant pillars in the water.

"It's so beautiful here!" Qiu Shuiyao beside him looked at the prosperous scene on both sides of the strait, and her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.

Liu Fengchen agreed in his heart, this city can definitely be called a water fairyland, no wonder it is called Lingze City.

Seeing that the three of them were shocked, the boat girl couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, how small their Xize Kingdom used to be, under the escort of the two predecessors of the King of Weapons and the King of Dan, now it is finally the existence that can make the capital look sideways.

The girl steered the boat across the river to the opposite bank, and before she could dock, when she passed a building boat, she suddenly heard a man's voice from the top of the building boat.

"Yo! Isn't this Lin Yu's sister!"

Liu Fengchen looked for prestige, and saw that on the bow of a building boat they had just passed, a young man in a blue brocade robe was sitting on a cushioned comb chair, and a bewitching woman was holding in his arms, looking at them with a playful expression, and behind the brocade-clothed young man stood a man in a black robe with a cold face, who seemed to be the young man's guard.

Looking at the young man's expression, Liu Fengchen didn't have to guess to know that this was a troublemaker, and he didn't expect that the existence of moths was indispensable in such a gorgeous city.

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, he turned back to the girl and asked, "The girl's acquaintance?"

Lin Yu's face was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard the words of the young man in brocade at all, and said, "I don't know!"

"Oh, then let's keep going!" Liu Fengchen said.

The brocade-clothed young man on the boat pushed away the woman in his arms and stood up and said: "No wonder Miss Lin Yu refuses to marry my eldest brother, it seems that she has already gotten along, but don't blame me for not reminding you, your father and your younger brother are still locked up in Wangcheng Prison, without my Shang family to speak, you just wait to collect the bodies of the two of them!"

When Lin Yu heard this, his body paused obviously, but he continued to control the boat and slowly move forward, without even looking at the young man in brocade.

The young man in brocade clothes seemed to have known that Lin Yu would be like this, but he just smiled slightly mockingly, and his eyes did not stay on Lin Yu, but he looked at Liu Fengchen twice, and saw that Liu Fengchen did not have much characteristics except that he looked a little younger.

And when he turned his gaze to Qiu Shuiyao beside Liu Fengchen, a wave of greed suddenly welled up in his eyes, he had never seen such a dusty woman in his life for more than 20 years, compared to Qiu Shuiyao, it was simply unbearable to look at the enchanting woman beside him.

Lin Yu is also very beautiful, and she is definitely one of the best beauties in Lingze City, but he knows that Lin Yu is already his eldest brother's forbidden body, and anyone who dares to hit her attention will not end well, so he doesn't dare to think anything wrong about Lin Yu.

At this moment, he actually met a woman who was a little more beautiful than Lin Yu, how could he miss this opportunity, and immediately glanced at the black-clothed guards beside him.

The black-clothed guard nodded slightly, his knees bent slightly, and he kicked hard under his feet, and the whole person flew towards Liu Fengchen and their ship like a sharp arrow, and then landed firmly on the bow of the boat.

Seeing this, Lin Yu's face turned cold, and he said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

The guard didn't pay attention to her, and walked straight to Qiu Shuiyao, first hugging his fists respectfully, and then using a can't

In an objectioning tone, he said: "Please follow this girl upstairs to the boat, my master wants to see you!"

Qiu Shuiyao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said unhappily: "Who are you, who are you?

Her temper has always been relatively hot, and since she followed Liu Fengchen, she has won three points, scolding the air, as long as Liu Fengchen is by her side, no matter who dares to speak disrespectfully to her, she dares to go back.

There is also Qiu Shuiyao's voice is very loud, which attracts some people on the ship next to them to look sideways, when they see the brocade-robed young man on the boat, they all shake their heads and sigh, looking at the red-clothed woman in front of the black-clothed guard, and their eyes reveal a trace of pity.

The young man in brocade didn't expect Qiu Shuiyao's reaction to be so fierce, and this kind of wild temper aroused his jade hope even more, and he said in his heart that he must take down this woman today.

The guard glanced back at him, and saw that he had a faint smile on his face, and he knew in his heart that he didn't say much, and he was about to forcibly take Qiu Shuiyao away when he reached out.

Liu Fengchen's face on the side was almost gloomy and dripping water, just as he wanted to smash the black-clothed guard, sink the boat, and then tie the limbs of the brocade-clothed young man and throw him into the river to feed the fish, a voice suddenly sounded a little not fluent in the distance.

"Live... Stop!"

When the black-clothed guard heard this scolding, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, Qiu Shuiyao took this opportunity and hurriedly ran behind Liu Fengchen, and said dissatisfiedly: "He dares to do something to my aunt and grandmother, and you won't help me?"

Liu Fengchen scattered the spiritual power in his hand, didn't say anything, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound just now, and saw that under the boat they were riding on, a boat that was bigger than the tent boat under their feet slowly sailed out.

This boat is less than five meters long in total, there is not even a oar on it, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation in the hull, it is an ordinary wooden boat that can no longer be ordinary, Liu Fengchen is curious about what it relies on to move forward, is it relying on the waves?

There was nothing special about the boat except that it was shabby, but the people on board caused a burst of snickering around them.

It was actually a child, who looked like he was about ten years old, not tall, with a hint of cynicism in his big eyes, and he looked a little cute.

Looking at his outfit again, it is simply so strange that it cannot be added, the circle around his head is shaved clean, there is a bunch of braids on the top of his head, but he rushes forward, and his upper body is only wearing a thin gown, the buttons are still open, revealing a white belly, and the lower body is only wearing a pair of fiery red pants, the trouser legs are all rolled up to the knees, and the bare feet look white and tender.

The first thing this kid feels at first glance is that someone's bear child ran out!

Qiu Shuiyao exclaimed: "Whose child is so bold that he dares to go out on a boat alone!"

As the child's wooden boat slowly approached, the surrounding crowd was made to laugh by the child's dress, but Liu Fengchen frowned slightly, he actually felt a faint danger from this child, although this child's body did not have spiritual power fluctuations exposed, but he knew that this child was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Another acquaintance of the girl?"

Lin Yu shook his head blankly, indicating that he had never seen it.

Without waiting for Liu Fengchen to ask again, the brocade-clothed young man on the boat on the floor looked a little impatient, and said to the black-clothed guard: "Xu San, what are you waiting for?

The black-clothed guard reacted, he was interrupted by someone just now, and after many years of professional habits, he thought it was a big man, but he didn't expect it to be a fart child, it was really a worry in vain.

glanced at the child, turned around and found that Liu Fengchen was standing in front of Qiu Shuiyao, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

"Hey! Stop, you dare to move... Do it?", of course, came from the child's mouth, and now it seems that he is still a little inarticulate.

This sentence sounded provocative, but coming from the mouth of a stuttering child was really not much of a deterrent, but made the laughter of the surrounding crowd even louder.

Of course, the black-clothed guard didn't take the child's words in his eyes, he saw that Liu Fengchen was unmoved, his eyes were sharp, and he raised his fist and blasted forward, and the fist wind whirred, rushing towards Liu Fengchen's front door.

Between the lightning and flint, a clever figure instantly appeared in front of Liu Fengchen, raised a white and tender foot and kicked the black-clothed guard away.

"I have warned you two... Twice, what a debt... Underwhelming!"

There was a dead silence on the noisy river, and everyone looked at the child who was less than one and a half meters tall with wide eyes and was stunned, but kicked a transformation stage martial artist dozens of meters away.

That's a martial artist in the transformation period, although it is not the top in the Nishizawa country, but it is also an existence that can walk sideways in Nishizawa, and now he was kicked away by a fart child who didn't look like he had any hair, even if he saw it with his own eyes, people still felt like they were in a dream, and felt that this scene was too unreal.
