Sixty-five miles north and south of Yuecheng, it is said to have a population of more than 2.6 million, and it is one of the largest cities in Soochow.
However, it is lonely in the forest, surrounded by primeval jungle, and there are almost no villages and towns. Hundreds of miles away, there are countless fierce beasts and monsters.
The reason for this is that there are countless mineral veins gathered near this Yuecheng. Silver, gold, iron ore, copper ore, and even Yunyuan stone for monks, iron essence, almost everything.
Over time, the crowd will be gathered into a city.
Yuecheng is in the forest sea, so it is not afraid of the attack of other countries, but what needs to be worried is the beast tide from the depths of the southeast forest sea, almost once a month. Therefore, the city wall is extraordinarily tall, thirty zhang high.
However, the reason why Zhuang Wudao was so cautious had nothing to do with these. But he made several enemies in this city.
Yuecheng itself does not produce grain, and the grain is all purchased from outside, and it is controlled by the major shili. And an orphan like him, who has no father or mother, has a particularly difficult time surviving.
And the entire Yuecheng, because it is in the forest sea, the official government of the Eastern Wu State is equal to nothing in the city. For hundreds of years, the city was in chaos, with murder and goods, disregard for human life, robbery and theft.
Zhuang Wudao was born as an orphan, and his mother worked hard every day to take care of him to make ends meet, and died early. Although his father's family is a wang clan, he has long been cut off, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it, so he can't count on it. Zhuang Wudao has been able to survive unharmed in Yuecheng until now, and even become the chief disciple of the Lichen Academy, so he will inevitably have to do something to commit a traitor.
When I was a child, I stole chickens and dogs, and when I was older, I formed gangs with others, extorted money from neighbors, and collected money. Although he is a great evil, he is by no means a good person.
Recently, he accidentally killed several people because of the grabbing of territory and fighting with others, so he formed a blood feud with others. Although Zhuang Wudao is not afraid, he also needs to be careful when he is alone.
His strength was only half a step away from the Qi Cultivation Realm, and he was the number one person who could fight among the dozen or so brothers in the small gang. Naturally, it is also the first object of revenge for those enemies. Therefore, when Zhuang has no way to go out these days, he is cautious and cautious.
When you enter three miles outside the city, you need to be careful of being watched and know your whereabouts. If you were really ambushed and killed, you wouldn't be able to cry at that time.
All the way back, I didn't find anyone watching, and there was no strange thing nearby. Zhuang Wudao didn't dare to be careless, so he deliberately went around and entered the city through the east gate where dignitaries and nobles gathered in the city.
After more than a dozen circles in the winding lanes, I returned to the west of the city. The three caves of the cunning rabbit, this is not his daily residence. As early as three years ago, Zhuang Wudao bought a property here, and only a few of his closest brothers knew about it. It was his haven of refuge that kept him safe and sound for a few days, without worrying about having his head cut off while he was sleeping at night.
In fact, this kind of day is not long. As long as you can step over the Qi Realm and become a Qi Realm cultivator, it is naturally a sea and a sky. More than a dozen martial artists in the marrow training period, he still doesn't pay attention to it.
Wu Yue is a weak country in the southeast, and although the territory is vast, there are extremely few cultivators. Therefore, the status of the monk in the kingdom is even more respected. can become a monk, in this Wuyue City, you can even kill people on the street!
And the strength has increased tenfold. He has been practicing martial arts for seven years, and now in the stage of training the marrow, he is only capable of competing with thirty or forty ordinary strong men. However, if it is to the realm of Qi cultivation, it is a hundred enemies. The power of one person can fight ten martial artists in the marrow refining period.
The miners in the west of the city are crowded, the houses and streets are all filthy and dilapidated, and when you get close, you can smell a foul sour smell. Zhuang Wudao's dwelling was a dilapidated wooden house, inconspicuous in the west of the city.
It's just that when Zhuang Wudao returned, he saw a person standing at the door of the house.
At first, he was shocked, but when he saw the person's face clearly through the faint moonlight, Zhuang Wudao was slightly happy.
"Little Four, when did you come back?"
Wu Xiaosi is Zhuang Wudao's childhood partner. is also an orphan, one of his former brothers in life and death.
Don't look at the weak body, in fact, it has reached the blood training period two years ago. But a year and a half ago, this guy said that he wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin and be a good citizen from now on. Then he left Yuecheng and didn't know where to go. An acquaintance said that he had seen Wu Xiaosi and worked as a foreman on a dock in the city, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
Yuecheng is surrounded by dense forests, and all the minerals that are mined can only be transferred from the Songjiang River. Five hundred miles away from the city, it is a relay transshipment terminal on the Songjiang River. Although a foreman had a good income, it basically ruined his possibility of becoming a monk.
Practicing blood and marrow requires a large number of medicinal materials, and you need to practice hard day and night. At the age of twenty-four, if you can't generate vitality before your bones are formed, you basically can't become a monk again. Zhuang Wudao also relied on the money collected by the gang every day, and climbed to this situation step by step.
Wu Xiaosi's cultivation talent was not weaker than him, and after Zhuang Wudao knew about it at that time, he was very worried that Wu Xiaosi was not worthy.
At this time, Wu Xiaosi returned, and on their side, it was tantamount to another general!
Wu Xiaosi is a pioneering knife, and he is brave and abnormal by nature. Two years ago, even ordinary cultivators of the Cultivation Realm couldn't do anything, and they were the best at group fighting. When fighting with people, you only need to put on an iron armor and a big knife in your hand, and almost no one can stop you.
With this guy here, a group of them don't need to be patient and hide anymore, just go to the door again.
Wu Xiaosi's face was gloomy, not only did he not have half a smile in his eyes, but it was extremely gloomy.
"I was invited back from the city two days ago. ”
Zhuang Wudao's face changed slightly, and he already felt that something was wrong. subconsciously looked behind him, but saw seven or eight figures, which had completely blocked this alley in an instant.
Even on the eaves, at some point, a few figures were erected, sneering and looking down.
Zhuang Wudao's heart sank slightly, if it was just these dozen foreign martial artists in the blood training period, he would not take it seriously. But since these people are here, how can they only be a few people?
He was cautious every day, but he still planted it in the end! He didn't expect that the problem would be Wu Xiaosi, who had already faded out of Yuecheng.
"Why is that?"
Taking a long breath, Zhuang Wudao's mood was unusually calm. turned his head and looked at Wu Xiaosi with an inquiring look.
The latter turned his gaze away, and his face was stiff: (remember to see the fastest update in a second) "I'm leaving the city, and I already have a wife and children. If I don't sell you, my wife and children will die a tragic death. What do you think I, Wu Xiaosi, should do?"
Zhuang Wudao was stunned, and frowned. He vaguely knew that the reason why Wu Xiaosi was unwilling to continue fighting and killing and quitting the city was because he fell in love with a woman.
Although today's events annoyed him, it was not right to betray his brother, but when he studied it carefully, it was understandable-
The anger in his heart more or less subsided a little.
Wu Xiaosi then sighed slightly, and continued in an indifferent tone: "I remember that I said at the beginning, like our brothers, rolling on the tip of a knife, lifting his head on his belt, and fighting for the future with his life, sooner or later he will die tragically on the street. At that time, I asked you if you would like to leave Yuecheng with me, go away, and ask for peace. You said no, but that's the way it is today!"
Zhuang Wudao paused, then smiled dumbly, and shook his head slightly: "Even if I knew about today's events, I, Zhuang Wudao, will not regret it." Do you remember that Wu Lian?" "More than ten years of struggle, competing with cats and dogs for food. He has long understood that if a person wants to survive, he can't do without a 'fight' and a 'fight'. Fight with the sky! Fight with people!
Until the age of fifteen, he was struggling for his own survival. After the age of fifteen, with some capital, he began to work hard for his future.
People are not satisfied, and after they have eaten and clothed themselves, they want more.
He is like this, from the bottom of his heart, he wants to climb out of this quagmire, and wants to be like those monks and nobles, and one day he can be high. Their children and grandchildren do not have to be like themselves, and they have no food and clothing. And also the man, to pay the price.
What's more, he is indeed very interested in martial arts. The more I cultivated, the more fascinated I became. For the rumored Jindan Yuan Shen who can pull out the mountains and rivers, he is even more yearning.
So even if he goes back in time, a year and a half ago, Wu Xiaosi asked again, he would still refuse without hesitation.
Wash your hands and return to goodness?
Just looking at Wu Xiaosi today, you can see how difficult it is for people like them to have a peaceful life.
When he was twelve years old, he once saw a retired Martial Artist of the Marrow Realm who was approached by an enemy. The enemy who could be killed at his fingertips back then is now a monk with a bright future in the seven-story building of Qi training. Not only was the Martial Practitioner himself shattered, but nearly 100 members of the entire family were also slaughtered! It was a tragedy that shocked the entire Yuecheng five years ago.
However, no one pursued it afterwards, and even within a month, no one dared to collect the body.
And this retired marrow realm martial artist is named Wu Huan.
Therefore, Zhuang Wudao has long recognized a truth, if he wants to live a safe life and not be retaliated by the enemy. There is only one way to go, and it keeps getting stronger, so strong that all enemies can't have the idea of revenge!
He debuted at the age of thirteen, and there were not 100 people killed in the fight, but 80. Who knows if there will be one or two demons among these enemy relatives?
Just like Wu Huan's enemy, the seventh floor of Qi cultivation can already run rampant in the world, with the help of the power of the sect, his ears and eyes are well-informed. Even if the enemy is hidden at the ends of the earth, it can be found.
"Wu Huan?" Wu Xiaosi didn't know if he thought of himself, so he was silent.
And just as the two were talking, a sturdy man with a length of almost length had already stepped out of the door. The tiger's back is bear's waist, and the muscles are knotted. The eyes are like copper bells, revealing a cold fierce light.
"Are you Zhuang Wudao?"
Zhuang Wudao sneered and didn't answer, this is nonsense. He has been talking to Wu Xiaosi for so long? How does this person not know that he is Zhuang Wudao?
For the strength of the man in front of him, he is so afraid that he is also in the marrow realm, and his complexion is dark copper, with a metallic luster. Only the first contact is what this person has learned, and it is an additional horizontal practice.
The skin is like steel, and it can resist the blade.
In addition, there are three martial artists who practice the marrow stage, appearing on the left and right roofs. One was holding two knives, the other with a hook lock.
There was also one more behind him, short in stature, holding a tomahawk in each hand.
