Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 113: Beyond the City
When we set out the next day, no one asked where those people from last night had gone. It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Lin Yi glanced at Zhen Yuanzi beside him and saw that he was also indifferent. As usual, he was looking at the scenery along the way with undiminished interest.
With Zhen Yuanzi's martial arts attainments and keen six senses, could he really not notice anything unusual at night? Lin Yi shook his head secretly.
"What's wrong, kid? Do you have something to say to the old man?" Zhen Yuanzi turned around and asked curiously. He was always paying attention to Lin Yi's movements around him.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi said softly: "Those people came with bad intentions last night, but they have disappeared today. Don't you think this is something strange, Taoist Priest?"
"You are very attentive!" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly smiled, his eyes flickering, he looked at the Tianlong Sect people moving forward, and said: "It's not surprising that you are surprised, but you will lose yourself if you are surprised! So what if it is strange? What does it have to do with you, a coachman? ?”
When Lin Yi heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "The Taoist Master has a deep heart and can tolerate all things!"
Zhen Yuanzi proudly stroked his long beard and said calmly: "Since I am a great man, what can I not melt?"
"The cross-currents of filth and filth cannot be compared to the vast rivers! But now, who is baking the world?" Lin Yi asked casually.
"The heaven and the earth have not stopped yet, and the sun and the moon have their own gains and losses, how can everything in the world be perfect?" Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed, and his words were profound.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The moon waxes when it waxes, and when it dims, it becomes bright. Nothing in the world is better than this!"
"When encountering problems, you must be able to take responsibility, and you must be good at getting rid of it. If you don't take responsibility, you won't have the heart to deal with the world; if you don't get rid of it, you won't have the mind to transcend the world. When things happen, you should have more than enough, and if you have endless wisdom, you can be on guard against unexpected events. "Zhen Yuanzi's voice was low, as if he was talking to himself, and his eyes were deep and distant.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your advice!" Lin Yiruo nodded with understanding.
A gentle smile appeared on Zhen Yuanzi's face. He looked at Lin Yi with admiration and said, "The old Taoist really wants to accept a disciple like you. How about it, boy?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Taoist Master! I only have one master in the Shang Kingdom." Lin Yi smiled apologetically.
"Do you have a master? I don't know if my master's name is taboo. Have you ever heard of it? Can you tell me about it?" Zhen Yuanzi became interested.
"It's okay not to mention Master's name!" Lin Yi's voice was dry.
Zhen Yuanzi looked puzzled. There was no martial arts master in the world that he didn't know. Who was Lin Yi's master? He didn't even want to tell anyone his name. He couldn't help but straighten his body and said: "I think I, the True Yuanzi, am also well-known in the Shang Kingdom. If you want to worship me as your teacher, your master will not deny it!".
Lin Yi shook his head. !”
"What? Your master has passed away...?" Zhen Yuanzi said in surprise. Although he was curious about Lin Yi's master, he couldn't continue to ask further.
"My master has such a long life. He must be a senior master. It's just a poor thing! It's rare for you to respect your master. Lin Yi, I, Zhen Yuanzi, did not misjudge you!"
Lin Yi said softly: "Taoist master, don't do this, just call me brat!"
"Hahahaha! That's it, I'll call you brat, and you can call me old man!" Zhen Yuanzi raised his head and laughed, his eyebrows flying.
…
The brilliance of the rising sun pours down on the earth and bathes all things.
Horse hooves clattering, wheels rolling, Tianlong sent his party all the way eastward.
The sun jumped above the head, and when the people and horses were feeling a little tired, a big city appeared in the distance, following the footsteps of everyone, getting closer and closer.
The gray city wall is simple and simple, like a green dragon lying horizontally. The towering gate tower is majestic and looks out over the wilderness.
After thousands of miles of desolation, the sudden appearance of a big city is a joy. There was a smile on everyone's face.
"The whole journey has been deserted, but now we have finally reached the capital of Anzhou. It is not easy! However, the road ahead will be easier!" Zhen Yuanzi also looked happy.
"This Anzhou is not smaller than Qincheng!" Looking at Anzhou City in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but compare it with Qincheng, and then asked:
"The Taoist Master said that after Anzhou, everything will be smooth!"
"That's not necessarily true. The forests and grasslands ahead are much easier to walk than the Wangxi Road and Jiupan Ridge. We have to walk to find out whether the road is smooth or not!" Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said.
While the two were talking, they saw a group of people running towards Anzhou City.
Elder Meng waved his hand for everyone to stop, and within a short time, ten people and ten cavalry arrived in front of everyone.
The leader of the newcomers was a middle-aged man in green robes with a yellow face and no beard. He looked like a scholar. He jumped off his horse and saluted Meng Shan: "Liu Zhi of Hujiao Hall, together with his disciples, has met Elder Meng! I have met him! Fellow disciples!" Then everyone dismounted and came forward to greet everyone.
Seeing fellow disciples of the Tianlong Sect thousands of miles away, everyone was in a happy mood. Before arriving at Anzhou City, there were fellow disciples waiting to greet him from a distance, which made everyone who was running all the way have a good impression of this Tiger Dragon Hall.
Hujiao Hall should have sent someone to watch out early so that they could welcome him in time. This shows that Hall Master Liu is also a thoughtful and considerate person.
Lin Yi listened carefully from behind, and Hall Master Liu would follow the crowd in the future. Seeing that all of his men were capable and skilled in martial arts, Tianlong was even more encouraged to send out Youshi Zhuang.
Is the Tianlong Sect so arrogant just to show off its power, or is it meant to intimidate?
Lin Yi sat on the carriage, thinking secretly.
Everyone in the Tiger Dragon Hall presented them with food and wine, and then they dispersed in all directions, each with a wary look on his face, and blocked the intersection with weapons.
"Could it be that we can't enter the city?!" Zhen Yuanzi muttered and jumped out of the carriage. The old Taoist stretched his body and asked his two apprentices to get wine and food.
Anzhou City is right in front of you, but everyone is sitting outside in the wild, eating and drinking.
After half an hour, we rested and started again. Hujiaotang divided several people to clear the way in front, and there were four more people behind Lin Yi's car.
With a large number of people, the momentum will naturally be different. It gave a group of carriages and horses that were just rushing along their way a bit more solemnity.
The group of people headed straight for Anzhou City, and there were actually people from Hujiao Hall, driving a cart, waiting at the city gate. Hall Master Liu gave an order, and someone quickly placed water bags, horse feed, dry food, etc. on Lin Yi and Jin Ke's carriage, and then they retreated.
The carriages and horses continued to move forward, passed through the city gate corridor, and rushed into the city.
The few disciples of Hujiao Hall on horseback in front drove away those who blocked the way, and then everyone entered Anzhou City.
A long-awaited noise rushed towards them, making all the young disciples' eyes widen with excitement.
People were coming and going on the street, some stopped to watch the Tianlong sect curiously, some were indignant at the disciples of the Tiger Dragon Hall being driven away, and some stayed away because they saw the power of the people and horses.
In just one meal, everyone passed through the city, leaving Anzhou City behind.
After walking a short distance, there are still people looking back frequently. After a tiring journey and sleeping in the open, we finally encountered such a big city and couldn't rest for two days. Even going to a restaurant to have a toothpaste would be good, but leaving without stopping like this would inevitably make people feel reluctant to leave.
More than ten miles away from Anzhou City, the group of people plunged into the endless mountain forest. There are tall trees on both sides of the road, although there are not a few remnants - green x-on:色 #小￥说&网 - However, with fascination, he continued: "The most fascinating thing is the boundless sea. Ah! According to rumors, there are huge water monsters in the sea that are as tall as towers; there are giant fish as big as hills; some fish can also sing low and long, which is soul-stirring; some fish can even grow wings and can fly. In the sky, there are all kinds of strange seabirds on the vast sea. The small ones can be grasped in the palm of your hand, and the big ones can easily capsize a small boat with their wings spread out. Tear a strong man to pieces.
If you follow these seabirds, you can find islands in the sea. These islands are also of different sizes and styles. Some are full of snakes and insects, making people afraid to approach them. Some mountains are full of tigers and wolves, which is even more terrifying. There is an island called Bird Island, and the bird droppings on it are several feet thick. The people and customs on the island are all kinds of strange and unheard of. On some islands, men, women, old and young, all wear naked clothes, bare their breasts and reveal their bodies, and are not ashamed of it. Some islands are inhabited by people with dark skin. Some islands are still inhabited by some barbarians who are still unconscious and drink blood from their hair. "
Lin Yi was also fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help asking: "What is at the end of the vast sea?"
