On the western border of the Qingyang Empire, there is a group of mountains, which are foggy all year round, and the visibility is extremely low. Occasionally, the woodcutter hunter who went up to the mountain to beg for a living would disappear inexplicably, and no one could ever come back, and there was often a roar from the depths of the mountain range, and the nearby villagers believed that the mountain range was guarded by the mountain gods, and it was regarded as a forbidden place, and no one dared to set foot on it again.

Yandu is the largest city on the western border, with simple folk customs and enthusiasm. As its name suggests, the weather here is hot, there are no four seasons, and summer is all year round.

"It's so hot, I've stripped off only one piece of clothing, and it's still so hot. Outside Yandu City, Lin Yuan sat in the carriage, holding a pu fan and fanning the wind, covered in sweat. The curtain to keep out the sand and dust had been rolled up to let in the wind outside.

The three of them traveled a long distance, which lasted more than a month, and finally arrived at the assessment site safely without danger. But it's too hot!

Hearing Lin Yuan's complaints, Wang Yu was silent and quickly passed through the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city are not surprised, there are not a few dignitaries and nobles who have come in the past few days, and I don't know what kind of wind has brought them together. Anyway, I can't afford to offend, so I'd better be nosy so as not to get angry.

"Xiao Er, come to a pot of good herbal tea. ”

"Haole, sit down, come right away!"

As soon as they entered the city, Wang Yu knew that Lin Yuanhua and the others were already thirsty, so he hurriedly took them to a roadside teahouse to rest for a while.

The herbal tea entered the throat, refreshing and sweet, and a sense of comfort suddenly surged into everyone's hearts.

"Good tea! Yandu's tea is still as thirst-quenching as ever. Wang Yu drank a few bowls in a row and was addicted.

"It's unimaginable that the Fire Rock Sect will actually be hotter than Yandu. Lin Yuan smiled bitterly.

On the way here, Wang Yu had already introduced him to a lot of basic information. The Fire Rock Sect is located in an empty basin inside the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range, isolated from the world, and due to the surrounding mountains and geological reasons, it is extremely sultry, so it is extremely suitable for cultivating fire exercises. However, for ordinary people who have not expanded their spiritual veins, they simply can't stay there for a long time, so each selection will be set in a relatively "comfortable" Yandu.

"What, regret it?" Wang Yu smiled slightly.

"It's all here, how can a manly man retreat easily. Lin Yuan took a sip of herbal tea to cheer himself up.

"Good boy, ambitious, it's almost time, let's go. Wang Yu patted him on the shoulder, looking relieved.

"Little Er, check out!"

"Come on, a total of five Amethyst coins. ”

The Qingyang Empire was a vast empire with hundreds of vassals, which could set up armies but were forced to have the same language and currency as the empire.

The currency is divided into five colors: purple, red, yellow, blue, and blue, and the value increases in turn, and there is a thousand-fold conversion relationship between each color. As far as Lin Yuan knew, the annual per capita income of the people of the Phantom Feather Country was only four red crystal coins, that is, four thousand amethyst coins.

"Five, the price of this tea has not changed for decades, it has always been three pieces and a pot, you and I are a foreigner?" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately snorted coldly.

"Uncle hasn't been back for many years, right? Our herbal tea in Yandu has a good reputation, and the prices are all set by tea merchants, who dares to raise the price privately. In recent years, prices have indeed skyrocketed, and we have no choice but to do so. Xiao Er held the rag on his shoulder in his hand and explained aggrievedly.

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Wang Yu asked again suspiciously, and Xiao Er nodded very affirmatively and replied again.

"Poof, Uncle Wang, don't tease him. Huayu couldn't help but step forward, took out five amethyst coins and put them in the small second-hand, "Let's go quickly, don't delay the trip." ”

"You girl, you really don't know how hard it is to make money. Wang Yu smiled dumbly, sure enough, he was a child who had lived in a rich family since he was a child.

People came and went on the street, there was a lot of traffic, and all kinds of shouting and selling were endless, which caused Lin Yuan to look around.

The Qingyang Empire was not a conservative feudal country, there was no saying that men were superior to women, and women could travel at will, without being bound by red tape.

Due to the weather, the women of Yandu wear more "cool", this is exposed, that is exposed, and the special clothing brings them a different kind of charm.

"It's strange how those sisters' chests are bulging. Lin Yuan was puzzled.

Ahem~

Wang Yu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, embarrassed and silent.

"Fool, don't be blind. Huayu hurriedly blocked Lin Yuan's sight with her little hand.

"Why does Sister Xiaoyu call me stupid? Hey, Sister Xiaoyu is the same as me, her chest is flat. Lin Yuan looked innocent.

"Don't talk nonsense, who is the same as you, people are obvious, obviously there are. Huayu wanted to argue with reason, but her voice like a mosquito became lower and lower, and only she could hear the second half of the sentence.

"Sister Xiaoyu, your face is so red, isn't it too hot, I knew that I should have brought a pot of herbal tea for you to drink on the way just now. ”

Lin Yuan is still young after all, and he doesn't understand many things. Huayu was ashamed and annoyed, angry for a while, and didn't know what to say.

"Ahem~ It's here, come down. Wang Yu was worried that the two would continue to talk about something inappropriate for children, so he interjected at the right time.

"So fast? Shelter, hey, why is it an inn, aren't we going to participate in the auditions?" Huayu asked anxiously.

"Haha, the girl is more worried than me. Don't worry, today is the third day of the fifth month, and there are two days left before the assessment, so let's go and take a good rest. Wang Yu walked forward, and someone came to greet him, skillfully pulling the reins to take care of the horse.

"Shopkeeper, come to three good guest rooms!" Wang Yulang shouted, since entering Yandu, this general seems to have returned to his hometown as a wanderer, and his mood has improved a lot.

"I'm sorry for this master, there are only two rooms left in the upper class. The rich shopkeeper replied respectfully.

"This ......" Wang Yu hesitated for a moment, "then open two rooms, Xiaoyuan and I live together." ”

"Good. Lin Yuan doesn't care, it's good to have a bed to sleep in, it's been camping in the wild for two months, which is better than now.

"Shopkeeper, open two superb guest rooms for the master!"

Lin Yuan and the three of them were about to go upstairs with their luggage, and two more people came in outside the inn, one old and one young, and it was the young man who called himself the master.

"This son, the last two upper-class rooms in this store have been rented to those guests, and there are more than medium rooms, so it's better to ......."

"Blind your dog's eyes, is the master the one who lives in the lower room? I don't think you want to open this shop. ”

"It's a medium room, and the lower class room is also full. The shopkeeper replied.

"I'm angry, Lu Lao, smash his broken shop for me!"

"Childe, before leaving, the lord entrusted me, this trip must not cause trouble, Yan is not better than other places. The old man leaned over and whispered in the young man's ear.

It seemed that Lu Lao's words had an effect, and the young man quickly quieted down, and his eyes turned to look at Lin Yuan and his party.

"A few stays, a few people. He stepped forward quickly, blocking Lin Yuan's front.

"Something?" Lin Yuan said lightly, he didn't like the young man's flamboyant and domineering personality.

"It's not easy to go out, my son is willing to pay double the price and replace those two guest rooms from you, how about it?" Seeing Lin Yuan's attitude, the young man wanted to have a seizure but forcibly held back, and smiled with his hand, which shows the city.

"Not interested. Lin Yuan turned sideways around the boy and continued to move forward.

"Three, five, you, wait, ten, ten, ten times, hey, this son sees that you are young, and I don't want to be like you, so don't toast and don't eat and drink. ”

"Hmph!" Seeing the fierce light in the young man's eyes, Wang Yu said coldly, shocking him in place. The old man Lu quickly guarded the young man and waited for him, but fortunately, Wang Yu just glanced at it and walked away.

Call~

Lu Lao exhaled lightly.

"For... Miscellaneous... What... I..."

"Alas......" Lu Lao shook his head helplessly, reached out and slapped the young man's shoulder hard.

"Hmm~ Lu Lao, why can't I move? And why did I stutter when I spoke?" The young man was shocked, obviously Wang Yu left a lot of shadow in his heart.

"His killing intent is locked on you, how can a chick like you stand it, that kind of person who lives on the tip of the knife is not easy to mess with, pay attention in the future. Lu Lao persuaded bitterly, this kid caused him a lot of trouble along the way, if he didn't owe his grandfather a favor, he would have left long ago.

Ignoring the young man who was still a little sluggish, Lu Lao turned around and walked to the counter to ask for two medium rooms.

"Damn, if you are also here to participate in the selection of the Fire Rock Sect, I will definitely want you to look good. The boy clenched his fists and whispered coldly.

............

Guest room on the second floor.

"The food will be served by the restaurant, it's better to go out less these two days, there's nothing fun in the Yan, let's have a good rest, call me if you have something." ”

The two rooms were adjacent, and Lin Yuan took the lead in choosing one and opened the door to enter. Wang Yu stood in the corridor and told the flower language.

"It's so hot, don't go out, don't go out. Hua Yu shook her little head and turned to enter her room.

Although it is hot, the interior of the residential houses is very comfortable. This is all due to the unique fragrant trees and the high level of construction technology.

This tree not only emits a fresh fragrance, but also stores water. Some good deeds have experimented by pouring a whole bucket of water on the wood made of this tree, and it has absorbed all of it without dripping it.

The people of Yandu use this tree to build a house, the house exudes fragrance all the year round, and the moisture in the wood volatilizes and absorbs heat, so that people are always refreshed. As a first-class room, the heat dissipation effect is naturally better, Lin Yuan lay on the bed, ready to take a nap.

"Stinky boy, it's going to be selected right away, and you're not nervous, just fall asleep. Wang Yu laughed softly and scolded.

"Anyway, it's really tiring to run all the way, so I'll take a break. Wang Yu took out a mat from the wardrobe and spread it on the ground, lying on it with a big grin, snoring.

Maybe the sound insulation of the first-class rooms is too good, or maybe they are too tired, when the shopkeeper brought the food, he knocked on a pillar of incense to wake the two up.

Destroying food like a whirlwind cloud, Lin Yuan and Wang Yu glanced at each other, returned to their respective places very tacitly, and continued to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, the heat of the day faded and the breeze brought by the darkness greeted the baptism of light, except for the gently fluctuating lake, everything seemed to be quiet again.
