Chapter 18: The City of Water

After Qu Yun's eyes were completely cured, Si Cheng spent a few quiet days with his parents at home, and then talked about his intention to go to Kunlun Mountain to learn art. Si Honglie didn't fluctuate too much after hearing it, the man was ambitious in all directions, and it was a good thing to go out while he was young, otherwise he would not have been able to bring Qu Yun back then.

Although Qu Yun didn't say anything, there was a deep reluctance in her eyes. This time, her son didn't go out to hunt beasts for her like last time, but this time he went out to learn art, and he may not be able to come back for a long time. She just looked worried, and told Si Cheng to take good care of himself in the future, and if possible, come back to see more.

And Si Cheng also nodded again and again, who can say clearly what will happen in the future, anyway, come back as much as possible if you have the opportunity. The family then fell into a deep silence.

Half a month later, Si Cheng's days in Hongzhu Village came to an end at the grand banquet of the Si family, which caused a sensation in the entire Hongzhu Village. Si Cheng picked up the Fengyun Sword on his back, of course, the Fengyun Sword at this time had been heavily wrapped in linen. Then he took a small amount of baggage and said goodbye to his family, the Si family, and the entire red bamboo forest.

As his eyes passed, he also looked at the entire Hongzhu Village, and finally paused slightly when he looked at the Hongzhu Forest. Then he strode away from the village.

Kunlun Mountain, in the extreme west of Hongzhu Village, is about tens of thousands of miles away, with Si Cheng's current speed, it will take at least a month to arrive, fortunately, there is still a month and a half before the time for Kunlun Mountain to recruit disciples, Si Cheng is not in a hurry, as long as he arrives a few days in advance, going too early is also a burden for people who come out of the mountain village.

This time, in addition to bringing some clothes, Si Cheng also brought some silver taels, and the Si family's silver taels are not lacking, but Si Cheng doesn't want to bring more, as long as there is enough on the road, it is good, and more is sometimes a disaster.

After walking for three days, Mo Yo was no longer a mountain forest, but a vast plain, and in the middle of that plain, stood a city, the Giant Water City.

Jushui City is the only city within a radius of 3,000 miles, including Si Cheng's hometown Hongzhu Village. It's just that kind of remote mountain nest, for this giant water city, it's too lazy to care.

Looking at the vast plain, Si Cheng's mood felt much broader.

"This is good outside!" Si Cheng sighed sincerely.

When he was about to reach the gate of Giant Water City, Si Cheng was greatly surprised. I saw a long queue at the gate of the city, at least a hundred meters long.

"Alas, what's going on today, why is it suddenly so strict?"

"You don't know this, it is said that there is a big man in the city, and in order to leave a good impression on the big man, he will do this. Otherwise, the guards at the gate of the city would not have taken care of the many people. ”

With the sound of the surrounding crowd waiting to enter the city whispering, Si Cheng also understood the whole story.

It turns out that as long as you pay enough money when you enter the city, you can get through guò safely, but today because a big man came to Jushui City, he will check and interrogate at the city gate one by one, so the speed of entering is much slower.

But in this way, there is a good thing, those who enter the city today, as long as there is no problem with their identity, can enter for free, which saves Si Cheng.

After waiting for two hours, it finally came to Si Cheng.

"Where?"

"Red Bamboo Village"

"How old?"

"Fifteen"

"What strength?"

"No," Si Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied quickly.

The guard looked at Si Cheng and didn't feel anything wrong.

"Let's go inside. ”

As the guard's voice fell, Si Cheng looked at the wide city gate and walked in.

As soon as he entered the city gate, the wide road that appeared in front of him made Si Cheng, a standard hillbilly, deeply shocked. Then I saw the crowd that was almost crowded, and even the wide road seemed a little inadequate. Si Cheng secretly smashed his tongue, this city is countless times better than the mountain village, but there seem to be too many people, and it is difficult to find a quiet place.

Si Cheng shook his head, thinking of this, he didn't think it was so great here, the city has the benefits of the city, but the mountain village also has the advantages of the mountain village, it just depends on personal preferences and opinions.

"I heard from my father that there is an inn in the city, so I will find an inn to settle down first, and then I will go tomorrow. Thinking of this, I casually found a direction and walked over.

Carefully shuttling through the crowd, shouting and scolding can be seen everywhere, Si Cheng will not care about these things.

"This little brother, do you have anything to help? As long as ten taels of silver a day, I know everything about asking for directions, shopping, lodging and eating. Just as Si Cheng was hurrying through the crowd, there was a piercing sound in his ears.

Si Cheng frowned, turned his head to look at the person who was talking. There was a middle-aged man standing opposite, his body was so thin that he was only skinny and bones, and his face was long and sharp-beaked, and his speech was quite harsh.

At this time, this person was looking at Si Cheng with a smile on his face. It's just that Si Cheng didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he ignored it, turned around and continued to move forward.

Seeing that Si Chengli ignored and turned to leave, this person's gloomy expression flashed, and then he quickly stepped forward, and said again in that piercing voice: "Little brother! ”

Si Cheng's face turned gloomy and turned to face the man.

"What's the matter?"

"Hehe, this little brother, I, Wang Xiaosan, have been wandering around in this giant water city until now, who won't give a little face when they hear my name?"

"Oh, yes? But I've never heard of it. Si Cheng was surprised and said with a sneer.

"If it's okay, please let me go, I'm still on my way. ”

Looking at Si Cheng's distant back, Wang Xiaosan's teeth sneered.

"Damn, I've been on the road for so many years, and I've never seen such an uninteresting guy. Then he turned his head and beckoned around.

Then two people came dressed like beggars.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, please tell me something. The two beggars said with a very flattering attitude.

"This is two taels of silver, you two go and help me keep an eye on the person just now, where to go, where to stay in which inn to report to me" said and threw the silver at the two of them.

"Brother Wang, you just wait for our good news. Then he smiled and followed in the direction where Si Cheng was walking.

"Hmph! I want to see how horizontal you are, you offended me Wang Xiaosan in this giant water city, I will let you walk around without eating. Wang Xiaosan looked at the direction in which Si Cheng was walking, and his eyes showed a faint cold glow.
