Chapter 43: Yuen Long City
"Thank you!"
Zhang Tie thanked him, took the kettle and rode away.
Originally, he just wanted to enter the village to find out the news. If others are not welcome, they will naturally not stay for long. Mainly, I didn't expect that in a village, there was actually a Qi training period! After Zhang Tie left, the leading man looked at his back thoughtfully. Zhang Tie doesn't look very old, but his strength is not weak.
This kind of person who is of unknown origin and whose strength is not low is the best if he does not offend!
With a shout, he returned to the village with the people behind him.
Zhang Tie continued his journey north, but was surprised to find that the number of villages had increased. Originally, he wanted to inquire about the news about the Split Mountain Sword Sect, but the people in those villages did not welcome Zhang Tie very much.
Zhang Tie had no choice but to move on.
Walking and walking, Zhang Tie looked into the distance and found a large group of people, riding horses and driving carriages.
After thinking about it, he rode his horse and ran over there.
"Alert!"
When Zhang Tie approached the group on horseback.
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and several men in armor immediately drove their horses to the back of the crowd, drew their weapons and became vigilant.
Zhang Tie stopped the horse and stopped a few meters away.
"This brother, you want to rob us alone?"
A bearded man led by a man with a weapon in his hand, looked Zhang Tie up and down, and looked at Zhang Tie with a smile on his face.
"You misunderstood, I'm not a robber!"
Zhang Tie shook his head, a little helpless.
Since discovering the first village, I don't know how many times I've been treated as a robber.
This also made him very puzzled, are there so many robbers in this place?
"Not a robber?"
The beard pruned slightly, and looked at Zhang Tie suspiciously: "It's not a robber, what are you doing with our convoy?"
"I just wanted to get some news from you!"
"Stop!"
Seeing Zhang Tie slowly approaching while opening his mouth, the bearded man exclaimed, and the weapon in his hand pointed at Zhang Tie: "Just stop there to find out the news, don't get close to the convoy!"
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
There was a gust of sand in the distance, and more than twenty fast horses rushed towards the convoy in the blink of an eye!
The bearded man's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Protect the convoy!"
didn't care about Zhang Tie at all, and rushed forward on horseback!
When!when!
From afar, Zhang Tie heard the sound of weapons handing over. Looking at the bearded man who was fighting with those horses, Zhang Tie frowned slightly.
The bearded man's strength is not weak, and it seems that it is also a period of qi training!
This place, what the hell is going on, is the immortal law so ordinary and visible?
After a while, Zhang Tie shook his head, feeling that the convoy in front of him was dangerous.
The strength of those 20 or so people was not weak, and the bearded man was only able to block a few of them! The rest all rushed towards the convoy.
The men in armor with the bearded man are no match at all!
Look at the convoy again, men, women and children, not like people with much combat power!
"Forget it, help them!"
Zhang Tie shook his head, rode his horse and rushed towards the besieging bearded man, drew his long sword, and swung a few swords, immediately injuring several people.
"Thank you, brother!"
The bearded man was very anxious when he saw that the convoy was being attacked, but he was besieged by several people and could not get out.
At this time, Zhang Tie appeared, and a few swords injured his opponent.
With a shocked thanks, he hurriedly rode his horse to the convoy.
"I'll have to do it!"
Zhang Tie shook his head and rushed after the bearded man to those who were attacking the convoy.
The bearded man can only block a few people at most, and the end result is that the convoy will still be attacked!
"Run!"
After Zhang Tie joined the battle, the men on fast horses greeted and hurriedly evacuated.
Zhang Tie's strength was too terrifying, all of them combined, it was estimated that they were not Zhang Tie's opponents, so they hurriedly evacuated!
"Thank you so much, brother!"
The bearded man asked the man next to him to check the damage of the convoy, and dragged a bloodstained arm to Zhang Tie and thanked him.
His face was slightly red, a little embarrassed.
If the man in front of him was really a robber, he alone could kill the entire convoy of guards.
"Don't you need to bandage it?"
Zhang Tie pointed to his injured arm and kindly reminded him.
"Out of the way!"
He looked at it, and his arm was only scratched, and it wasn't serious. Looking at Zhang Tie curiously, he asked, "I don't know my brother's name?"
"Zhang Tie!"
"Brother Zhang Tie has any news you want to inquire, I will definitely tell everything I know!"
"Do you know where the Split Mountain Sword Sect is?"
Zhang Tie thought about it and asked with anticipation.
This way, I have been walking for so long, and I have been exploring for so long, but no one knows where the Split Mountain Sword Sect is.
Isn't the Split Mountain Sword Sect a very big sect?
"The Split Mountain Sword Sect?"
The bearded man showed a contemplative look, and it didn't take long for him to think of something and look at Zhang Tie: "I know about the Split Mountain Sword Sect, but I don't know where it is!"
Hearing the bearded man's answer, Zhang Tie's expression was a little gloomy.
"Brother Zhang Tie, don't worry!"
Seeing Zhang Tie's depressed expression, the bearded man smiled slightly and explained: "I estimate that many people have heard of the name of the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect, but except for the disciples of the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect, it is estimated that no one knows where the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect is. Brother Zhang Tie, do you want to join the Split Mountain Sword Sect?"
Zhang Tie nodded his head and looked at the bearded man urgently, waiting for his next step.
"The destination of our trip happens to have a camp of the Split Mountain Sword Sect. If you want to join the Split Mountain Sword Sect, you can go to which stationing point you want!"
"Ah, great, can I come with you?"
"Absolutely!"
The bearded man nods his head, and he can't ask for it!
With Zhang Tie following, they are much safer on the way!
The bearded man took Zhang Tie with him and introduced him to the guards of the other convoys. It didn't take long for the losses of the convoy to be counted.
Fortunately, there was Zhang Tie to help, but some people were slightly injured.
The bearded man shouted, and the convoy continued on its way.
Zhang Tie rode a horse and walked next to the bearded, and the two chatted as they walked.
Chatting and chatting, Zhang Tie finally understood why there were so many Qi cultivation periods here.
It turned out that the place where Duanmu City was located was called the southern suburbs by them. The southern suburbs belong to the place where the aura of the Southern Wilderness is the thinnest, and almost all of them are ordinary people. Therefore, the immortal method is very precious.
But the place where Zhang Tie is now belongs to the Southern Wilderness, where the aura is relatively strong.
There are a lot of sects here.
These sects will recruit the children of the sect in a large way. Those with outstanding qualifications will become the core of the sect. Those with poor qualifications will return to their hometowns after staying in the sect for ten years.
This also leads to the fact that the immortal method outside is very common.
At the same time, it also led to many people with a certain amount of force hitting it off and becoming robbers.
So this place, there are quite a lot of robbers!
Zhang Tie followed the convoy and continued to walk for more than half a month. On this day, the bearded man pointed to a vague shadow in front of him and said to Zhang Tie: "Ahead, is our destination: Yuen Long City!"
Zhang Tie looked up, vaguely, and shook his head.
"Let's all work hard, and strive to get to Yuen Long City before it gets dark!"
The bearded man shouted at the convoy, then looked back at Zhang Tie and said, "Brother Zhang Tie, you are coming to Yuen Long City for the first time, there are a few points that you must pay attention to. In Yuen Long City, it is forbidden to do anything, and if you are caught, you will be put in prison.
Also, the nobles of Yuen Long City can execute ordinary people at will. As long as we see those who are dressed gorgeously and hug each other before and after the trip, we can hide as far as we can!"
Zhang Tie nodded, but he didn't care.
If he is really bullied, he will not say that he will endure it! Of course, he will not say this.
As the sky was getting darker, the shadows in front of me became clearer and clearer.
Zhang Tie's eyes widened gradually.
Ahead, a very majestic city towers over the earth, the walls are pitch black, and the height is about twenty meters!
The gate in front of it is wide, about ten meters high.
Above the city gate, there is a large plaque with three big characters engraved on it: Yuen Long City.
Zhang Tie looked at the plaque carefully, and in the upper left corner of the plaque, there were two very small words: Shang Zhou.
He estimated that the city in front of him was at least five times larger than Duanmu City!
Although the sky was slightly dark at this time, the city gate was bustling, and people came and went from time to time.
Zhang Tie followed the convoy into the city.
Inside the city, the lights are bright at this time, and the shops on both sides are very lively. The streets of the city were fast, and even if ten carriages were side by side, they would not appear congested.
When Zhang Tiezheng was curiously looking at everything around him, he heard the bearded man calling himself.
"Brother Zhang Tie, Brother Zhang Tie!"
He twisted his head, looked at him with a beard and said, "It's almost night now, Brother Zhang Tie might as well stay with us for one night, and tomorrow I will take you to the garrison of the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect!"
Zhang Tie nodded his head and continued to look around.
Compared with Duanmu City, Yuen Long City is undoubtedly too prosperous!
............
Early the next morning, the bearded man arranged everything for the convoy and took Zhang Tie on a very prosperous street.
After a while, Zhang Tie was brought to the front of a shop surrounded by a crowd.
He pointed to the shop and said to Zhang Tie, "Brother Zhang Tie, that is the garrison of the Split Mountain Sword Sect!"
"Trouble Big Brother Beard!"
Zhang Tie thanked him with his hand, and urged him: "Big brother, go back quickly!"
He knew that the bearded man was the captain of the convoy's escort. The convoy was formed from several villages in order to come to Yuen Long City to sell things. They won't stay in Yuen Long for long, and the sooner they sell out, the sooner they can go back.
After all, an extra day in Yuen Long City is an extra sale.
The bearded man nodded his head, bowed his hand to Zhang Tie and left.
Zhang Tie lined up at the back of the crowd, and while waiting, while listening to others chatting, he learned that the garrison of the Split Mountain Sword Sect recruits disciples all year round.
So, there are so many people surrounding the cantonment almost every day.
After waiting for a while, it was Zhang Tie's turn.
There was a man in a green shirt sitting in front of Zhang Tie, and when he saw Zhang Tie, he was slightly stunned, and said with doubts: "You look more than fifteen years old, do you know the rules of the Split Mountain Sword Sect for recruiting disciples?"
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, looking at him with a puzzled face.
The man in the green shirt shook his head and explained, "Our sect only recruits disciples under the age of fifteen, and this is just a stationing point, and it cannot detect spiritual roots. Therefore, we will bring all the people who sign up back to the sect for testing, so we need the cost of a spirit stone. ”
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Tie and asked, "Now you understand." I'm only responsible for registration here, and when the time comes, if you spend a spirit stone, but you are over fifteen years old, the spirit stone will be wasted!"
I have to say that the man in the green shirt is kind.
Among ordinary people, silver was mainly used as currency. The spirit stone is the currency of the cultivation world.
Spirit stones can be exchanged for a large amount of silver, but silver is very difficult to exchange for spirit stones. After all, for cultivators, although silver is useful, it is not very useful.
However, spirit stones are different, spirit stones can not only be used as currency, but also can be used to absorb!
Ordinary people want to get a spirit stone, it is extremely difficult!
Zhang Tie thought for a while, took out the token from his arms, handed it to the man in green shirt and said, "With this, can I join the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect?"
"Huh, Split Mountain Order?"
The man in the green shirt took the token, smiled, looked at Zhang Tie and said, "Indeed!"
Put away the mountain splitting order, and began to register Zhang Tie's information. After a while, he opened his mouth wide, looked at Zhang Tie in surprise, and said with some tears and laughter: "The place you mentioned has a garrison not far away, why did you run to the garrison in Yuen Long City? This distance is very far!"
Under the explanation of the man in the green shirt, Zhang Tie was stunned.
Less than five hundred miles away from Duanmu City, there was also a garrison of the Split Mountain Sword Sect.
In other words, I ran on the road for so long without knowing it!
"Senior brother, you wait on the side first. When I'm done, I'll arrange for you to stay, and in a few days, someone will come and bring you back to the sect. ”
The man in the green shirt shook his head, looking at Zhang Tie with some tears and laughter.
Zhang Tie nodded his head, and was looked at by a group of teenagers behind, feeling a little embarrassed. Those teenagers all heard what Zhang Tie did. He hurriedly found a corner and stood and waited.
By the evening, the man in the green shirt had already gone to the ground and took Zhang Tie and others to a large courtyard.
He pointed to the courtyard and said to everyone, "You will wait for a while, and it is estimated that someone will come and bring you back to the sect in two nights at most." ”
After saying this, he walked towards Zhang Tie.
"Senior brother, I see if you have already cultivated the Immortal Law?"
With a smile, he saw that Zhang Tie was puzzled, so he pulled Zhang Tie to a corner and explained.
The man in the green shirt is also an outer disciple of the Split Mountain Sword Sect.
In the Splitting Mountain Sword Sect, the number of outer disciples is very large! Where there are people, there will be disputes.
Therefore, most of the outer disciples will hold together and choose to follow the inner disciples!
And the man in the green shirt asked Zhang Tie just to confirm his cultivation. If his cultivation is strong enough, he is ready to recommend the inner disciples he follows to Zhang Tie!
Zhang Tie shook his head and declined.
Mastering the sword intent during the Qi training period is destined that he will not always be an outer disciple, and he is not very willing to follow someone.
After Zhang Tie refused, the man in the green shirt didn't look very good, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Tie anymore!
