After 19 days at sea, the fleet arrived safely in the port city of Dongxing, a port city on the Twin Peaks.

As the most distinguished guest and the life-saving benefactor of all the crew and guests of the Sea Eagle, Li Ji, accompanied by Wu Dahai, was the first to land on the shore.

"If Childe is going back, you must go to the inn I mentioned to you, they know all the arrangements of the fleet on this route, and they will definitely provide you with the most convenient and fastest service......

The thankful Boss Wu chattered endlessly, such a guest is simply the patron saint of the fleet, but unfortunately I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again in the future.

Li Ji nodded with a smile and drifted away, the family of the zodiac people lives in the middle of the island, and he still has a long way to go.

The area of the Twin Peaks archipelago is equivalent to a large country in the northern region, the shape is irregular and pear-shaped, and the two Yuanci peaks are named Heishi Peak and Jiama Peak respectively, which are located at the big head of the pear-shaped island, close to the coast.

The ancestral land of the Zodiac people is basically located in the center of the island, a place called Shanglingou, less than 900 miles away from Dongxing, the port where Li Ji landed.

These things are all heard in the port restaurant, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no secret.

Li Ji didn't have a good or bad opinion of this island and this country when he first arrived, and the only thing that made him a little awkward was that there were too many beggars in the port city of Dongxing.

There are several in the harbor, and there are two squatting in the restaurant where the food is now used, and there are two of them not far from the door; there are beggars in every city, and this is not uncommon in the northern region; but there are a lot of beggars in the twin peaks, and they are all children?

At the checkout, Li Jiduo asked for a few meat steamed buns, and when he passed in front of the two little beggars, he put them in their bowls, the two children were girls, the younger one was five or six years old, and the older one was only seven or eight years old, black and thin, and both were disabled, which was the kind of congenital malformation that was born at birth.

He didn't give money, this is not a matter that money can solve, meat steamed buns are the most real, if you give silver, nine out of ten will not fall into their hands, and if you hide it, you may have to be beaten; the world is as black as a crow, and the beggars in the northern region are also a virtue, and there are always similar organizations hidden behind them.

Li Ji needs to find a means of transportation.

There are no grasslands on the main island of Twin Peaks, and no horses are produced, and most of the horses come from merchant ships from the northern regions, so the prices are very expensive, and there are no good horses.

He simply picked a big mule, and when he went out of the horse market, he saw a few beggar children again, "Why are there so many beggars in this place? Could it be that all the beggars on the island have run to Dongxing?" Li Ji didn't have time to think about these things, he was neither an official nor a saint, so he asked for the direction and ran with the mule.

The twin peaks are the usual hilly terrain of the islands, but they are not as hot and humid as in the southern part of the northern region, and the sea breeze blows, salty with a hint of pleasure.

He has become accustomed to lonely travel, or rather, lonely life, lonely practice, this kind of character was like this in his previous life, in the eyes of others, it is a little indifferent, as if looking at the world from another angle.

He is not accustomed to expressing his feelings in words, calling him a brother like an ordinary person, and he has been on guard, as he had been in his previous life, and even more so in this world, he has built a fence for himself with hardness and indifference.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't know gratitude and doesn't crave blood, so he has the blood of life and death in the Nine Palace Realm, and the last words of the zodiac people are thousands of miles away, even if this Twin Peaks Absolute Spirit Island has no meaning to the monk at all.

He stubbornly tries to understand the secrets of this cultivation world alone, he doesn't want a teacher, he rarely communicates, and he would rather find his own answers in the huge sea of books; he doesn't have many friends, and the limited ones he gets along with are as plain as water, but this is his character, if you let him go to make friends with people, he can't do it!

He is stubborn and almost paranoid, he doesn't want to go down the path that everyone else is taking, his pride, others don't understand.

But success seems to favor paranoia?

Nine hundred miles is a very short distance for a monk, and in the case of Edgeworth, it is only a matter of an hour, but if you ride a mule, it will be a little troublesome, especially since this mule is still a little stupid and a little stubborn.

Don't think that a monk is omnipotent, and instilling some mana and true qi can make a mule faster than a galloping horse, smart and obedient; in terms of soul, Li Ji is still a beginner, and spiritual alien techniques such as manipulation, influence, and seizure are also difficult in the cultivation realm; living beings have their own nature, and it is easy and difficult to change, even if it is a stupid and stubborn mule.

Bitterthorn Town was the first town where Li Ji rested, not because he was tired, but because the mule didn't want to run.

"Add some beans and other concentrates to it......" Li Ji instructed Xiao Erdao.

Asked for a few things to eat, Li Ji sat at the table by the window, quietly looking at this ordinary town, the lackluster buildings, the uninspired food, and the tired and boring villagers, making this town lifeless.

Only the sound of gongs and drums faintly came from the west end of the town, which is the only outlier in this town.

Xiao Er brought food, he was a talkative person, and when he saw Li Ji looking at Zhenxi, he explained: "The guest officials don't know, and the heirs of the kings of Zhenxi are expected, so they do three days of ritual celebrations." “

Li Ji said perfunctorily: "Congratulations for giving birth to a son." “

Xiao Er smiled: "It's not that I gave birth to a son, but I know that I am pregnant with a son." “

"Oh, giving birth to a boy and a girl, there is a destiny, how can this be known in advance?"

Li Ji was a little surprised, for the problem of fetal sex, even in his previous life, it had only been solved for a short time, and he needed to apply ultrasound technology, which was unimaginable in the blue sky world. In the Northern Regions, there are many sects of cultivation, and there are many monks who are proficient in the Dan Dao medical path, and I have not heard of anyone who can do this, or rather, can do it, but it is far from being popularized to the extent that it can be applied in the mortal world.

"Guest, you're from the Northern Regions, right? You may not know that in Twin Peaks, the identification of fetuses between male and female is not a new thing. The pride on Xiao Er's face can surprise the guests from the Northern Regions who have always prided themselves on being a big place, and he feels very good.

"Is the Twin Peaks so skillful? Or is there something else?" Li Ji didn't believe in this.

"It's not about the doctor, in Shuangfeng, the identification of fetal men and women is done by the great monk of the Pufa Temple, and you need to sincerely respect the Buddha and worship the people in order to ask the master to open the golden mouth. "Xiao Er is like a few treasures.

"Pufa Temple, the great monk doesn't eat fasting and reciting scriptures, and still cares about boys and girls?" Li Ji finally became a little interested now, and he always felt that this matter was a layer of weirdness, so he handed over a piece of loose silver.

Xiao Er saw that there was nothing to do left and right, and it was not a meal, and the shopkeeper was sleeping in the back room, so he said carefully.

It turns out that the Pufa Temple arose decades ago, the source is unknown, probably a line of Buddhism, which is not uncommon in the Twin Peaks Island without inspiration, Twin Peaks Island has been the place where Buddhism has flourished since ancient times, and various factions are numerous, and it is not bad to popularize the law.

Originally, it was very difficult for a new Buddhist line like Pufa to survive in Shuangfeng, and it was necessary to spread the teachings and cultivate believers, and it would not be able to gain a firm foothold for 180 years, let alone carry it forward, but the Pufa Temple had another trick.

The trick of law popularization is to cut off pregnant women from giving birth to boys and girls, and provide the next step to solve the problem.
