Chapter 125: On the ninth day of September, don't come here unharmed
After driving for a short distance in the darkness of night, I finally rested against a big tree with deep roots and leafy leaves.
Thanks to Cao Li, they could get pheasants even at night. With the sizzling and oily roast chicken filling their stomachs, the three people's physical strength was replenished.
The whole night was uneventful, the sky turned white, and the three of them hit the road again.
At the beginning of the day, an endless city wall appeared in the field of vision. It was like a dormant dragon, vicissitudes of life yet majestic.
Baiyue City was very close at hand, and people were rushing around. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry and rushed towards Baiyue City non-stop.
"I want a bunch of candied haws on a stick." Jiang Wuji called to a vendor carrying candied haws on his shoulders.
The vendor initially didn't want to pay attention to them, after all, the three beggars were not worth his time, but when he saw the few coins handed over by Jiang Wuji, he immediately put on a smile.
"Hey, guest, your candied haws."
Handing the candied haws covered in syrup to Xiaoyu, Jiang Wuji looked at the elderly vendor in front of him and asked: "Brother, you all seem to be in a hurry. Did something happen in Baiyue City?
?”
The vendor with wrinkles around his eyes said in surprise: "You don't know?"
"What do you know?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Vendor: "Today is the ninth day of September!"
"What happened on the ninth day of September?" Jiang Wuji still didn't react.
At this time, Cao Li on the side reminded: "Little Taoist Master, today is the Double Ninth Festival."
Jiang Wuji: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival?"
"Master Tao?"
The vendor looked at Jiang Wuji, and when he saw the somewhat tattered Taoist robes on Jiang Wuji, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Taoist, you..."
"Traveling around, it's inevitable that I'll be a little embarrassed." Jiang Wuji casually found a reason.
The vendor nodded, and then followed Jiang Wuji and the others, saying as they walked: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, there is a grand event in the county, and everyone is rushing to watch the excitement. I got up late today, why don't I hurry up and find a good location to sell the candied haws?
That’s it, I’m afraid I won’t touch my mother-in-law tonight.”
Jiang Wuji smiled awkwardly, and was about to ask what the grand event was, but the candied haws seller actually started to vomit bitter water while minding his own business.
"Master Dao, tell me, why can't I touch the mother-in-law when I buy it? I even tolerated the casings, but the woman actually refused to touch this and that. If it pisses me off, I will sell it.
Kill her! Let’s see if she talks back!”
Jiang Wuji: "That..."
Vendor: "Master Dao, you think it's fate that you and I met, right? Can I ask Master Dao for a little thing? Master Dao, do you have the kind of pills that prevent the mother-in-law from getting pregnant? Casings are expensive and uncomfortable. I am
I really don’t want to wear it.”
"What is casing?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Just when the vendor was smiling and trying to explain to Jiang Zhiyu, Jiang Wuji shouted: "Children, don't ask too many questions."
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and glanced at her brother pretending to be resentful.
"Brother, you just said that there is a grand event in Baiyue City today. What grand event is it?" Jiang Wuji asked, changing the subject.
The old merchant clicked his tongue and said: "Master Taoist travels here, I don't know and I am not surprised. Every September, the Double Ninth Festival in our county, in addition to the customs common in various places, there is also a very grand event! That is...
Lift the great god! Does Taoist master know how to lift the great god?"
"Excuse me..." Jiang Wuji frowned, almost reflexively feeling that there was something wrong with this thing.
I saw the Order Piercing Arrow in Zhanjiang City before, and although nothing bad happened, I still feel sour when I think back to that scene.
After all, the scene was like a dozen heads strung together...
But now this kind of arrogance sounds very strange.
Seeing Jiang Wuji's reaction, the merchant smiled and said: "It seems that Master Dao doesn't know, but when we enter the city, Master Dao will definitely be amazed by today's grand event!"
"Master Dao, do you have those pills? I can buy them. The casing is really uncomfortable."
"Master Tao, please don't lie to me. You have great magical powers in cultivating Taoism. Isn't it easy to make pills like this?"
"Master Dao, please give me some. The casings are really uncomfortable."
Under the persistent pursuit of the old merchants, Baiyue City finally arrived.
The city gates are wide open, and all city gate guards are on the city walls, allowing people to enter and exit Baiyue City completely.
Just when Jiang Wuji felt a little surprised, Cao Li sighed: "It is indeed a big county, how grand and prosperous it is!"
"Aren't they afraid of monsters from the Red Lotus Sect sneaking in?" Perhaps because they were used to it, or perhaps because they had suffered losses, Jiang Wuji's eyes like eagle eyes kept looking at the people around him.
Cao Li: "The little Taoist master doesn't know. There are magic weapons to protect the city in the county and city. Normally, the demons from the Red Lotus Sect don't dare to come in. In Lecheng, the magic weapons to protect the city are useless. In the end, the Tiandao Temple even
...Forget it, just don’t mention it.”
A magic weapon to protect the city... Jiang Wuji looked back at the tall city wall and suddenly noticed that there were complex patterns on the mottled wall, but when he tried to see clearly, those patterns disappeared again.
Immediately afterwards, I felt an inexplicable panic, and even my scalp was numb!
Subconsciously, he looked up at the sub-tower on the city wall. A female general wearing military armor and holding a spear was standing on the eaves of the sub-tower. Her high horse tail danced in the wind, and a pair of thin but not small red phoenix eyes were staring at her.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Jiang Wuji found that his blood surged uncontrollably.
The next second, a silver spear with a cold light struck from the direction of the sub-loud. The overbearing intent of the spear was frightening.
This shot seems to be able to penetrate the clouds!
Just when Jiang Wuji was about to block the shot, the spear that was close at hand suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the raised corners of the female general's mouth upstairs.
"Brother, what's wrong?" The girl's worried voice came to my ears.
When he came back to his senses, the figure on the sub-stairs had disappeared, and everything around him was as usual.
Jiang Wuji stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaoyu's head and said, "It's okay, let's find an inn to stay in first."
The street is very lively, probably because today is the Double Ninth Festival, so the food sold on the street mainly sells various pastries. As for the old merchant’s talk about raising the gods, they haven’t started yet.
At this time, Xiaoyu pursed his lips and said: "Brother, we have no money."
"Uh..." Jiang Wuji scratched his head. Xiaoyu had always been in charge of the money, so he didn't react for a while.
"Then... let's go to the Sheriff's Mansion first."
Jiang Wuji came up with the idea of eating and drinking together. With Li Changfeng's letters here, it shouldn't be difficult, right?
On the way, Jiang Wuji asked: "Cao Li, did you say before that when a martial artist reaches the sixth level, he can resonate with the Qi Yuan of heaven and earth?"
"Master Taoist, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Cao Li was a little surprised.
Jiang Wuji: "My blood energy should be almost at the sixth level."
"..." Cao Li looked a little surprised and a little painful.
After being stunned for a long time, Cao Li said with a crooked mouth: "Resonating with the Qi Yuan of heaven and earth is the greatest symbol of a sixth-grade martial artist, but your Taoist cultivation is different from that of the Taoist Master. You are refining Qi Yuan and emitting it from the body, while martial arts
It resonates with Qi Yuan and inspires strength."
"To put it simply, a sixth-grade martial artist can use his own blood to activate Qi flow around his body, thereby making his weapon sharper and improving his physical strength."
Jiang Wuji thought for a while and then asked: "What about the fifth grade?"
Cao Li chuckled and said, "I didn't know this at first, but I asked Mr. Li before, and Mr. Li said that a sixth-grade martial artist can be promoted to a fifth-grade martial artist after concentrating his thoughts."
"meaning?"
"Yes." Cao Li nodded and raised his seven-ring sword.
"If I could become a fifth-level warrior, the intention I would condense would be the sword intention. However, there are many types of sword intentions, and the mysteries among them are so profound that I, a small eighth-level martial artist, cannot explain clearly."
After listening to Cao Li's words, Jiang Wuji also had a reliable guess in his mind.
The female general upstairs should have used her condensed spear spirit just now.
So she is a fifth-level warrior?!
A fifth-grade martial artist looks at the city gate? Is the appearance of Baiyue City that much higher than that of Lecheng?
Uh, that's not right. Lecheng also has fifth grade, and even fourth grade, but Tiandao Temple has rebelled...
No, no.
This is not something I should consider.
What I should consider now is why she targeted me...
First of all, excluding the bloody plot of handsomeness and fate, it is probably because I took another look at the patterns on the city wall.
A fifth-grade martial artist, a female spear general... too serious, Yun Ying in the pesticide should be cuter.
Before he knew it, he was outside the governor's mansion.
The luxurious courtyard is eye-catching. The steps leading into the door look like they are made of white jade, and even the courtyard walls are surrounded by green beads.
Jiang Wuji, who has always been civilized and well-educated, couldn't help but spit out sweet things at this time, "Damn... he's really rich."
At this moment, two familiar figures stepped down the white jade steps and walked straight towards them with smiles on their faces.
"Boy, we meet again."
"Brother Jiang, you are fine."
"Li Changfeng? Why are you here?"
"..."
Jiang Wuji's expression darkened, "Where is Murong Wanfeng? How is she?"
