Chapter 322: The Southern Ming Dynasty
After resting one night at Youfu Inn in Kaoshan City, Ye Xing continued on his way the next morning.
While rushing on the road, practice the "Eight Steps of the Devil". After all, the martial arts in the Central Plains are extremely dangerous. If you can master this light skill as soon as possible, you can have a better chance of saving your life and winning.
As the level of "Eight Steps of Demonic Heaven" became higher and higher, Ye Xing's Qing Gong became faster and faster. After leaving the Tang Kingdom, Ye Xing spent another twenty days traveling across three countries before arriving.
The Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was located in the south of the Wulin Continent in the Central Plains, also known as the Nanming Dynasty. Together with the Donghua Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Beiyuan Dynasty, they were known as the four great dynasties of the Wulin Continent. The country was vast, with mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, and its power was huge.
If we compare the Southern Tang Dynasty with the Southern Ming Dynasty, the gap is like comparing grains of rice to the brightness of the bright moon.
The Ming Dynasty was the behemoth in the southern region of the entire Wulin Continent. With just one toe, it could crush small countries like the Southern Tang Kingdom to death. You can imagine the horror of its power.
After entering the Nanming Dynasty, Ye Xing finally saw what real prosperity was. There were many merchants here and warriors everywhere. Xuan-level skills were everywhere, and earth-level skills were equally numerous. Some big families and sects in some cities even had them.
There are countless masters of heaven-level exercises.
Of course, in terms of prosperity, the most prosperous place in the entire Nanming Dynasty must be the imperial capital - Lihuo Imperial City. Lihuo Imperial City is the imperial capital of the Nanming Dynasty and is one of the four largest and most magnificent cities in the Wulin Continent. If
If you can go there, it will definitely open your eyes and gain a lot of knowledge.
It's just that Ye Xing's destination is the Central Plains Wulin. If he goes to Lihuo Imperial City, he will need to take a detour, which may delay his trip for more than ten days. Ye Xing can only give up going to Lihuo Imperial City temporarily.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast and boundless. Ye Xing used Qinggong to rush on the road. It took him more than a month to reach the border of the Ming Dynasty.
The Nanming Dynasty was located close to the southern part of Wulin in the Central Plains.
Nanshan City was an important border city of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The city walls here are thick and tall, made of hard granite. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the walls of the city wall are covered with dense stone marks.
, some were scratched by swords, and some were scratched by animal claws, varying in size, deep and shallow. Obviously, this is a city with a long history and has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
On the city wall, groups of soldiers were in bright armor, holding shining cold swords in their hands. They stood as straight and solemn as javelins. Their auras were extremely strong, and they were at least at the sixth or seventh level of martial arts.
Nanshan City is an important border city. Because it has to resist the attacks of the monster beasts emerging from the martial arts forest, 800,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are stationed here.
Although the 800,000-strong army seems to be a lot, it should be more than enough to defend a city. However, this is not the case. Every time the beast tide happened in history, Nanshan City suffered heavy losses and it was very difficult to resist.
In addition to resisting the tide of beasts, we also have to guard against some demons who occasionally emerge from the martial arts in the Central Plains and kill people indiscriminately.
Of course, no matter what, Nanshan City, as the important fortress to the north of the Nanming Imperial City, is relatively safe.
Exiting Nanshan City means leaving the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it also means that you are about to enter the martial arts world of the Central Plains.
That Central Plains martial arts world is filled with strong men, monsters and beasts everywhere, and is full of dangers and opportunities.
It was morning, but the sky was a little dark, with low black clouds floating in the sky, casting several huge shadows.
The loess road was full of potholes and puddles. Apparently, it had rained heavily last night.
The small puddle was dirty with groups of unknown mosquitoes, and the soft mud was very sticky to the feet.
Ye Xing carried a small duffel bag on his shoulder and held the Qingfeng sword in his hand. He used Qinggong and walked all the way from south to north.
Since I was not familiar with the road, I had to identify the direction from time to time, so the speed of travel was not very fast.
After walking forward for about half an hour, Ye Xing finally saw a figure in front of him.
It was an old man in his eighties with a goatee.
Ye Xing immediately rushed up and asked loudly: "Hello, old gentleman, may I ask - if you want to go to the Central Plains Wulin, this is the right way to go, right?"
"Well, yes, it's this road." The old man with the goatee nodded and said, "I've walked this road ** times!"
"Senior also went to the Central Plains Wulin?" Ye Xing asked.
"Nonsense, why should I go here if I'm not going to the Central Plains Wulin?" The old man with the goatee glanced at Ye Xing and said.
Ye Xing's eyes moved and he immediately said: "The junior is not familiar with the road, can he follow the senior?"
"Go together? No, no, no, no!" The old man with the goatee shook his head repeatedly: "The martial arts world in the Central Plains is full of monsters and beasts. They are very dangerous. I can barely protect myself. If you come with me, I can't protect you."
"By the way, you are a young man. If you don't practice for a few more years, why would you go to the martial arts in the Central Plains?" The old man with the goatee advised: "You'd better go back quickly, so as not to lose your life."
"Um, I went to the Central Plains to find someone. As for the danger, I can protect myself without any need for seniors to take action," Ye Xing said.
Ye Xing's current third-level Xiantian Realm strength is indeed enough to protect himself as long as his luck is not too unlucky. After all, if he can't be beaten, he can completely escape and leave the Wulin Continent directly by relying on the purple light group. Unless he encounters "Tianbang"
》On those who can
It's another matter to recruit the terrifying existence that instantly kills Ye Xing and instantly kills Ye Xing as soon as they meet. Of course, as long as existences at that level are not provoked, under normal circumstances, they will not bother to deal with them despite their own identities.
Junior's.
In addition, the third-level Xiantian realm is definitely the top strong person in the Southern Tang Kingdom. Although it is not considered a strong person in the Central Plains martial arts, and it is not very eye-catching, it is not a weak one, and can be regarded as a middle class.
"Hey, protect yourself? Young man, you really don't know how high the sky is." The old man with the goatee curled his lips and said: "Do you know how many monsters there are in the martial arts in the Central Plains? Let me tell you, any monster that pops out in the martial arts is six or seven.
A level monster, what level of cultivation do you have, young man? Fifth level or sixth level? Even the seventh level is not enough!"
The old man with the goatee raised his head, touched the beard under his chin, and said proudly: "You have to know that I am at the peak of the eighth level of martial arts. In the outer area of the Central Plains martial arts, you have to be careful and walk on thin ice. If you hadn't been stuck at the peak of the eighth level,
The bottleneck is that I cannot make any progress, and if my age is approaching soon, I don’t want to take risks in this Central Plains martial arts world.”
"Old sir, this junior is also at the eighth level of martial arts!" Ye Xing said.
"What?" The old man with the goatee was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Xing in confusion, "You... are you at the eighth level of martial arts?"
"That's right!" Ye Xing's eyes moved, and he lifted up a corner of the hidden cultivation level, revealing part of the cultivation level, which was roughly equivalent to the cultivation level of the eighth level of martial arts.
"Hey, you are really at the eighth level of martial arts!" The old man with the goatee put away his contemptuous eyes, and said with an extremely surprised look on his face: "This young master, you should be a genius child of a big family, right? You are so young at such a young age.
We are already at the eighth level of martial arts, and given time, we can definitely hope to break through to the innate realm! It’s really amazing!”
"Haha, the old man praised me!" Ye Xing smiled slightly and said: "This is my first time coming to the Central Plains Wulin. I really don't know the way. If I go by myself, I'm afraid I will have to take a lot of unnecessary detours. I hope the old man can take me there."
Procedure!"
The old man with the goatee thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, sir, you are also at the eighth level of martial arts, so you are not holding me back. Then let's go together, and there will be someone to look after you on the way!"
"By the way, the old man's surname is Gongyang, and his single name is Tao. I wonder what I call him?"
"Boy Ye Xing!" Ye Xing cupped his hands and said.
The two immediately walked together and headed towards the Central Plains Wulin.
As we continue to move forward, we can see many warriors with strong cultivation levels along the way, either carrying swords on their waists, carrying broadswords, or carrying long spears. All of them have extremely strong cultivation bases, and most of them are Ningjing Realm.
Qi stage warriors, even those in the Xiantian realm, can be seen along the way.
After walking for about two hours, the visitor finally came to a stone tablet.
This is an extremely huge stone tablet, three feet high and one foot seven wide. It is completely black. Four large scarlet characters are clearly engraved on the surface of the monument - Central Plains Martial Arts!
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, like iron paintings and silver hooks, penetrating into the body of the monument. Looking at it, a strong aura of prehistoric times comes to your face!
(Volume 1: The business run between the two worlds is officially over. Phew, I have also written nearly 700,000 words. The second volume will start tomorrow: Martial Arts Storm! The real big scene is coming, and the mysterious veil of the Central Plains Martial Arts will slowly unfold.
Chapter completed!
