Chapter 104: Borrowing the Way
Chilian City, which is more than 100,000 miles south of the eastern part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, has been lively for two years because of the incident at the ancient monk ruins of Chilian Lake, and now it has returned to calm, except for the merchants in the city, even the monks have almost gone out. One is because the resources have been overexploited in a short period of time, and the other is that the shape and rumors of the invasion of the demon world are getting stronger and stronger. In order to desperately improve their cultivation, the monks could increase their chances of survival in the event of a disaster. So, where is the hot spot, there are the most monks. In addition, the students of the Eternal Academy who have been in the fourth phase have brought surprises to the cultivation world in each issue, and the upcoming fifth phase, I heard that the last phase will become more violent, and the competition will be more cruel and fierce. Therefore, the monks who had some faith in Chilian City rushed to Qingzhou.
The Chilian Lake in the south of Chilian City, due to the general destruction of the ancient monk ruins incident twelve years ago, is now even more desolate and depressed. In addition to some ancestors and grandchildren, the old and weak who hunt some fish and shrimp to make a living, even the fierce and vicious water bandits in the past have also found another way to make a living.
And on the island in the middle of the red lotus lake, it has now become a retirement home for helpless veterans, this is the kindness of Miss Tang San of the City Lord's Mansion, rather than letting these veterans who have no hope of cultivating a breakthrough starve to death outside, it is better for the former comrades-in-arms to stay warm and be self-sufficient on the island in the middle of the lake, and the city lord's mansion will also subsidize it accordingly, therefore, there are now hundreds of veterans on this island in the middle of the lake, and they have even developed a small island within a radius of 100 miles, forming a completely self-reliant utopian world.
On this day, a human head suddenly appeared in the inner lake, and the veterans on the shore immediately became nervous. Some even habitually touch the guy on their waist, but they have been using harpoons for a long time.
"Everyone be careful, look at what is in the inner lake, and who will go to get my Fang Tian painting halberd. ”
"Old Qianhu Chief, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd has rusted and rotted, and the halberd body was burned three months ago. ”
"Old Qianhu, let's not panic, it seems to be a human head, let's catch him and talk about it, old guys, we are all people who have already buried most of our bodies, and we are not afraid of death, come with me, go and fish that thing up." ”
Han Cong now only has the cultivation of the end of the foundation building, and he is almost exhausted, so a few veterans dragged him ashore very smoothly.
"It's like a little doll in your twenties, young man, honestly, what's it called, why are you here, when did you touch the island in the middle of the lake, where are you from? ”
Han Cong coughed up a mouthful of lake water weakly, and let a few veterans help him up and sit down.
The boy is the son of a hunter in the mountains and wilderness on the south side of Chilian Lake, and in previous years, he often made a living by hunting, and there was no possibility of cultivating the spiritual root in his body, so the old father was not allowed to go down the mountain. Not long ago, my father died of illness, and I had no one to rely on, so I planned to go to this Chilian Lake to find some valuable people to go to Chilian Lake to find a way out, and this morning, I slipped in while a few old people were not paying attention. Then I entered the inner lake and went down to the bottom of the lake, but I didn't catch anything. I'm a little hungry now, and I hope the old man will give me something to eat. ”
Han Cong lived on the island in the middle of the lake for three days, in addition to recovering his body, he also got acquainted with countless veterans, and on the morning of the fourth day, Han Congxiang took the veterans' boat to Chilian City and left.
"Old Qianhu, how do I think this young man is very familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. ”
"Old Han, you have been on this island for the longest time, and you stayed in Red Lotus City more than twenty years ago, let's talk about it, this young man. ”
As soon as Lao Qianhu spoke, an old and hunchbacked veteran walked over. His eyes flickered and he couldn't speak.
"The head of the old family, Lao Han is old, I really can't remember. ”
"Old Han, don't have any worries, we are all old and old, and we don't have other thoughts, so don't hide it. ”
"Old Han, I seem to remember that you stayed in the Han family in Red Lotus City more than twenty years ago. I remembered it, this is very similar to Han Cong, the second young master of the Han family, I saw it on this island twelve years ago. ”
"What? Lao Lu, you mean that kid has been at the bottom of the lake for twelve years, it's impossible. At that time, Han Cong was in the middle stage of the Dan Dynasty, and he was a well-known person in the Red Lotus City and the Cultivation Realm, and now he was almost fifty years old! How could he be so young, how could he become a person without any cultivation. ”
After an old man finished speaking, the veteran surnamed Han nodded and said:
"That's right, more than twenty years ago, that is, before the great changes in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I saw the second young master in the Han family manor, and now he is exactly the same as at that time, I am absolutely not mistaken, but the Han and Lu families have also undergone great changes, and these old people who survived, since they have chosen to live in silence, the less people and things they mentioned before, the better. ”
Lao Qianhu continued:
"Lao Lu is right, I also met Han Cong twelve years ago, it is indeed very similar, besides, this young man is not without cultivation, he at least has the ability to build a foundation cultivator, but it seems that there is a problem with cultivation, like Sandan. ”
After speaking, Lao Qianhu sighed and walked back to his room. The veterans quickly forgot that a young man had suddenly appeared, and they had no intention or power to control too much.
Han Cong soon appeared in Red Lotus City. It turned out that he had actually stayed at the bottom of Chilian Lake for twelve years, and the Eternal Academy was now only open for the last issue, for Han Cong, who had no power support, if he could enter the academy to learn the high-level martial arts and combat skills of the True Martial Continent, it would definitely be a good thing, and the old sister Han Yixue gave him a few combat techniques, either with a harsh cultivation foundation, or because he needed immortal energy. Let's wait for the opportunity to go to the Immortal Realm to mingle! At present, the high-level combat skills of the True Martial Continent are the ones that are practical.
Han Cong, as a young man who didn't have much cultivation, no one in the crowd would pay attention to him, and now that Qingzhou Eternal Academy had become the focus, he planned to go and take a look, but with his current ability, if he wanted to go to Qingzhou tens of thousands of miles away, the Fire Wing Dragon cub was sleeping again, and he rushed there Maybe the Eternal Academy was no longer there.
So Han Cong had no choice but to go to the transport team in Red Lotus City, but at present, the price of the transport team going to the Imperial Beast Sect has increased many times compared to the twelve, and it is very small. Because those who have the heart to go to Qingzhou Eternal Academy have gone more than a year ago. Now the people who want to go there are either the big forces that have their own flying tools, or the traders who rent Penghe. There are no daily lines at all. Especially the line to Qingzhou, if you don't get together a dozen people, you won't open it at all.
"Isn't it a pipe dream that all wastes who don't have cultivation want to go to Qingzhou?" , a monk of the Imperial Beast Sect who was guarding the ticket in the early stage of the Imperial Beast Sect, pouted Han Cong, who walked out of the store, muttered.
Han Cong had no choice but to find a place to wake up the Fire Wing Dragon cub as a leg force. But just as Han Cong was about to leave the Royal Beast Sect's convoy store, someone stopped him.
"This little brother's surname, where is your name? But you want to go to Qingzhou? I have a way, I don't know if you want to give it a try. ”
Han Cong saw that it was a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper and looking at him with a smile. Han Cong hurriedly stepped forward to talk.
"The kid is a hunter in the deep mountains on the south side of Chilian Lake, because he didn't have the cultivation of true spiritual roots in his body, he learned some basic exercises indiscriminately, and he actually built a foundation inexplicably. Three months ago, my father died of illness, and after I kept filial piety in March, I was really bored in the mountains, so I wanted to come out and see the world. ”
"Well, although young people can't cultivate the truth, it's good to come out and see the world more, and if you have the opportunity to find a good errand, you can also ensure that you get married and have children. My surname is Wu, I am a member of the martial arts family in the east of the city, and now I am a young man in a wine shop who manages the family in the south of the city. The martial arts housekeeper looked Han Cong up and down, and then continued.
"Thank you Uncle Wu for your help, the boy Zeng Cong is grateful. ”
"Okay, young man, come with me! My shop is in front of the corner and go straight to the 100 zhang to arrive, the martial family rented the thirteen Penghe of the Royal Beast Sect three days later to go to Qingzhou, mainly to pull the six hundred jars of Sanpin Spirit Wine to Qingzhou, and then transport back all kinds of wine-making medicinal materials, because Qingzhou Eternal College is very close to the school, the wine banquets in major cities are prevalent, our business is in short supply, the martial arts family can not draw more people, and specially recruit twenty-four temporary porters outside. It is mainly the loading and unloading of goods at both ends, taking care of the goods and raising cranes on the way. Come on, just ahead, you only need to pass a simple test to be hired, and there are still ten spirit stones to get every day after joining. ”
The shopkeeper Wu said clearly, and Han Cong also nodded in agreement. After a while, Han Cong followed the shopkeeper Wu to a wine shop.
"Samurai Brewery - Red Lotus Eight Branch"
Han Cong looked at the plaque at the door, and said in his heart that this martial arts family is really well managed! At this time, a guy hurriedly ran over and saluted the martial shopkeeper and said:
"Shopkeeper, you're back, Second Master Tie has been waiting for a while. ”
As the guy finished speaking, the shopkeeper Wu took Han Cong into the store in three or two steps, and saluted in front of a man who was about the same age as himself sitting in the room and said:
"Second uncle, Ting Xu has kept you waiting for a long time. ”
"Ting Xu, don't I often say, you and I are the same age, and we have been playing together since childhood, so don't be polite when we meet. Twelve years ago, if it weren't for your great-grandfather's help, I wouldn't be able to do the errand I do today. That's what you're looking for! Such a young man, not bad!"
"This kid wants to go to Qingzhou to see the world in the transport team, and I saw that he was young and good, so I brought him back for the second uncle to see. ”
While the two were talking, Han Cong recognized at a glance that this Second Iron Master was the Wu Tie he met on the way back to Red Lotus City twelve years ago. Now Wu Tie is around fifty years old, although he is half a hundred years old, he is full of spirit and capable manners. Seeing that Wu Tie kept looking at himself and asked himself, he hurriedly replied:
"Kid Zeng Cong has seen Second Master Tie. ”
Wu Tie did look at Han Cong again, and beat the drum in his heart, isn't this exactly the same as when the second young master of the Han family was young? Impossible, the second young master of the Han family is not much younger than me, twelve years ago was the middle stage of the Dan, look at this kid's dantian is turbid, not even Jindan. It definitely won't be Han Cong.
"The little brother is young and strong, but he has to move fifty jars and one box of storage boxes!"
