Today was undoubtedly a bumper harvest day for the spirit beast hunters near the Guanyun Sect, and when they went hunting in the wild as usual, they saw many spirit beasts lying on the ground trembling.

Some of these spirit beasts had their hair shaved clean, some had their sharpest canine teeth plucked, and some of them had their fingernails cut off by their claws......

These spirit beast hunters don't know what the spirit beasts have gone through, as spirit beast hunters, they will not sympathize with the plight of these spirit beasts, they will only be grateful to the people who made these spirit beasts lose their combat power, and at the same time attribute all this to the beast gods that the spirit beast hunters believe in. As for why the beast god didn't protect the spirit beast but helped the spirit beast hunters hunt the spirit beast, it was not within the scope of these spirit beast hunters.

The sword spirit naturally didn't know that her actions had actually done good deeds in disguise, but her mood had improved a lot after some venting. It's just that Bai Tang and Jian Lai, who have been following her, have subconsciously gone farther, only Qiu Yuexin may be because of the relationship with the same woman, but she walked beside the sword spirit, and she talked and laughed with the sword spirit, without any intention.

Since the towns in the western mountains were built by various sects, basically one town corresponds to one sect, and the distance between them is roughly the distance between the mountains.

It's just that because there are not many sects established in these mountains, it is likely that there are still several mountains between these mountains, and Baitang and they can only climb the mountains again and again, and when they meet the town, they will rest for the night, and they will not set off until the next morning.

Along the way, Baitang and the others passed three of the five peaks, and finally walked out of the western mountains eight days later and came to the western plain.

The scenery on the plains is not much different from that of the East, except for the slight difference in the variety of plants. Baitang also did not study plants and did not focus on them. He just looked far away, wanting to see people.

"You have to walk for an hour or so to see the town, because there are not many resources here, and no one has come to cultivate the land here, so no one wants to settle here. In addition, this place is relatively close to the mountains, and there are often spirit beasts infested, and the safety of human beings cannot be guaranteed as it should be. Sword Spirit explained.

Bai Tang asked, "Isn't there a sect shelter here?"

The sword spirit replied: "No, because there are not many sects established outside the mountains, after all, the spiritual energy outside the mountains is relatively weak, and there are not many places where the spiritual energy suitable for the sect to take root is abundant. In addition, there are a huge number of ordinary people outside the mountains, and those sects can't take care of them. ”

"In that case, who will run those ordinary people?" Bai Tang asked again.

Sword Spirit said, "Because there is no emperor or anything like that in the West, a class ruling relationship headed by the city lord has been formed. There are countless huge cities in the West, and each city has a city lord, and the villages and towns around that city are under the jurisdiction of the city lord, and of course each village and town settlement has its own administrator. ”

"There are also some cities that are in the hands of the sect, and the city lords of that type of city are all disciples of the sect, and most of the cities are the property of the sect to maintain the normal operation of the sect. ”

After Bai Tang listened to the introduction of the sword spirit, he couldn't help but be amazed. It seems that whether it is in the past life or in this world, there will inevitably be differences between Eastern and Western cultures.

Thinking of this, Bai Tang couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any blonde and blue-eyed humans here?"

The sword spirit shook his head, and said with some surprise: "I haven't seen it, is there such a person in this world?

Bai Tang couldn't help but be a little surprised, he thought that this world would be the same as in his previous life, with a variety of races. And this so-called West should also have those blonde and blue-eyed people. But now it seems that maybe there will be no other race in this world at all, or maybe the so-called West of the Sword Spirit is not close enough to the West, so they have never seen such a human being.

The Sword Qi Sect is still a long way from the western mountains. Because the aura in the area near the western mountains is very thin, it seems that it has all been absorbed by the western mountains. Only when it is far enough away from the western mountains will the aura gradually increase.

The location of the Sword Qi Sect is a place with abundant spiritual energy far away from the western mountains, and it takes about three days to travel from the western mountains to the Sword Qi Sect. This was not only because of the long distance between the two, but also because Baitang had walked on their legs all the way.

There is no way, Baitang's silver tickets cannot be circulated in the West, and although Jian Lai and Jian Ling are natives of the West, they are really not rich people. The money they had on them was only enough to rent a horse, and a horse was obviously not enough for the four of Baitang.

It was only at this time that Bai Tang realized the importance of cash, this feeling is like a habit of using Alipay, and suddenly one day I went to a place that does not support Alipay, and the feeling of helplessness is undoubtedly hopeless.

Fortunately, with the deepening of the west, there are more and more people, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in Baitang, and this journey is much happier than the journey in the mountains.

It's just that accidents are always everywhere, when Bai Tang and they walked in the west for two days, and after staying in a village that night, they actually encountered the army that came to attack in the middle of the night.

Since most of the city lords in the West did not have a harmonious relationship with each other, wars broke out from time to time in the West. It's just that most of the time the wars between cities are petty fights, and today I will rob your village, and tomorrow I will attack your town, but it will rarely develop to the point where you live or die.

Therefore, in the west, bandits do not have a good living space, and often bandits have not yet started to rob, and their set targets are robbed by the armies under the command of other city lords.

Those armies sometimes do the work of bandits, but they are much more civilized than bandits. At least they rarely kill people, most of them just grab some money and food, kill some of the soldiers who are guarding them, and then go away. Even if the plundered villages and the like reported the matter to the city lord, it would be too late for the city lord to send troops, so he could only rob the area under the jurisdiction of other city lords, and the right to take revenge should be avenged.

This tacit understanding between the various city lords has gradually formed, which is that you rob me and I rob you, but this has made those who have been robbed bitter. Fortunately, the army only looted but did not kill people, so those villages and towns that did not have enough garrison force simply prepared money and food in advance, and when someone came to rob them, they contributed these things in exchange for a temporary peace.

This is similar to the meaning of paying protection money, which is often able to maintain peace for a period of time after paying the "protection fee". Even some villages and towns were familiar with the army that came to rob, and occasionally asked these troops to do a favor, and the officers of the army would not refuse.
