Qin Yun crossed the border between Mobei and Xihai Prefecture southward and returned to the vast prairie.b1 3kanwang/b[百书之baishuzhai.]
Xiangshuiji and the Shacheng Demon Realm were left far behind him and became a profound memory. Qin Yun will never forget his two near-death experiences in the Demon Realm, especially.
While improving his cultivation level, he clearly realized how big the distance was between himself and the real top powerhouses. He also realized that the Qiankun Sky-Mending Stone may not necessarily be relied upon at critical moments. The most important thing is his own strength and perseverance!
Three days later, Qin Yun arrived at the Blue Sea Lake in Xihai Prefecture.
Blue Sea Lake is the largest lake in Xihai Prefecture, with a vast water area of hundreds of miles. When the ancient ancestors first discovered this large lake, they mistook it for the sea. In addition, the lake water is clear and blue, so it got the name Blue Sea Lake.
Blue Sea Lake is also the most magnificent pearl in Xihai Prefecture. The high Xuefeng Mountains in the northwest provide it with abundant water sources, making it the source of more than a dozen rivers, nourishing the entire prairie.
Local herdsmen call Blue Sea Lake the Holy Grassland Lake. Many tribes have settled by the lake for generations. Roulan City, the largest city in the Western Region and where the Beiming Sect is located, stands to the east of the lake.
In the early morning, the mist covering the grassland has not yet dissipated. Roulan City seems to be covered with a layer of white gauze, and its true appearance is unclear, but there are white towers in the huge city outline. It still gave Qin Yun, who had just arrived, a strong visual impact.
Especially the white towers that pierced the sky, which reminded him of the same buildings in the empty city in the center of the Demon Realm. There seemed to be some kind of inheritance connection between the two.
Roulan City borders the Great Lakes to the west and mountains to the north. It is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city does not have any walls and covers a large area of grassland to the southeast. Most of the buildings are low and ordinary, and there are also many tents and farmhouses.
The inner city is surrounded by tall city walls. The buildings in the city are stacked on top of each other all the way to the mountains. Palaces and pavilions loom among the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. The layout is majestic and majestic!
The inner city and the outer city are two completely different worlds.
It is said that in addition to tens of thousands of Beiming Sect disciples, Roulan City also has millions of civilians. The city is so big and its population even exceeds that of the imperial capital of the Yuan Dynasty. It is the core foundation of Beiming Sect. location.
There are also large areas of reclaimed farmland and pasture outside the city. Many farmers are working hard in the fields. Not far away, groups of cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely on the grassland, creating a beautiful and peaceful scene.
But the city was much more lively and noisy. The avenue was full of business travelers and pedestrians. Vehicles loaded with goods and cattle, sheep, and livestock crowded together and blocked the road. Qin Yun spent a lot of effort and still followed a group of people. The rear of the caravan entered the outer city area.
There are many shops and markets in the outer city, and flags and signs are hung everywhere on the streets. If you don't pay attention while riding a horse, you will be bumped into. In addition, it is crowded and difficult to walk, so he can only hold Black Pearl and walk slowly towards the inner city. go.
Herdsmen wearing sheepskin clothes with dark chests exposed, businessmen from the Western Regions with golden eyes and nonsense, tough hunters with bows and swords on their backs, dirty and down-and-out wandering beggars, and proud swordsman disciples of the sect. All kinds of passers-by. .
In this Beiming Sect Xihai Martial Arts Tournament, the Tiancheng Sword Sect sent a total of ten disciples to participate, and there were also elders and masters from the sect who came to watch the ceremony. Qin Yun was one of the representatives of the sect's disciples.
According to the past practice, all the disciples who represent the Jianzong to participate in the martial arts competition go out alone in advance and go to Roulan City to meet with the elders of the sect. This is also to allow the disciples to get an experience.
Qin Yun came to Roulan City for the first time, and he knew nothing about the situation in the city. He saw the towering city wall not far ahead, so he looked around and wanted to find a disciple of the Beiming Sect to ask.
What he didn't expect was that before anyone from the Beiming Sect saw it, someone took the initiative to block his way.
"Hey, little brother, your horse is pretty good. How much does it cost?"
The person blocking his path was a burly man with a heavy back and a bald head. He was wearing a sheepskin coat common to grassland herdsmen, with his hairy chest exposed. He stared at Qin Yun with eyes as sharp as a hawk.
Several other big men surrounded Qin Yun from the left and right sides and from behind him, forming a vague surrounding towards him. They obviously had bad intentions.
Seeing such a scene, pedestrians passing by gave way, and there were also some good-hearted people watching, most of them gloating about the misfortune.
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter: "Sorry, my horse is not for sale!"
The opponent should be a local snake in Roulan City. He seems to be quite strong, and his vision is even better. He actually has the idea of black pearls.
The bald man laughed and showed his neat white teeth: "Little brother, I, Bahasa, am not an unreasonable person. If you transfer this horse to me, it will be of great benefit to you. I can also recommend you to worship in Beiming."
Zong’s disciples, what do you think?”
He obviously regarded Qin Yun as someone who came to Beiming Sect to study under him. In addition to inducements, his words also contained a hint of threats, implying that Qin Yun had a relationship with Beiming Sect.
It's just that words like this may be able to scare the newcomers, but for Qin Yun, he just laughed out loud. He shook his head and sneered: "Beiming Sect? I can't climb up so high, so please get out of the way."
Seeing that Qin Yun refused to accept the offer, the bald man immediately darkened his face: "You actually look down on our Beiming Sect? Boy, don't give me a toast and you will be punished with a drink. I will decide on this horse today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped forward and approached Black Pearl, reaching out his big hand to grab the reins!
Before Qin Yun could stop him, Black Pearl raised his front hooves and kicked him out. It was a spirit beast with a proud temperament and would never tolerate rudeness or offense from others except Qin Yun.
Unexpectedly, this bald man named Bahasa reacted very quickly. The moment the horse's hoof hit his chest, he twisted and staggered and dodged past, without any delay in his action.
But he forgot that Qin Yun was holding the reins.
With a move of Qin Yun's wrist, the reins immediately swung high, and Bahasa immediately missed the opportunity.
Bang!
Black Pearl suddenly rushed forward, hit him hard, and knocked him away!
"ah!"
The onlookers on the street suddenly exclaimed in unison. The other three big men who were responsible for surrounding Qin Yun were dumbfounded. One of them immediately ran over to help Bahasa who fell to the ground.
"I'm fine. Just stay around and don't let this kid escape!"
Bahasa threw away the support of his classmates and jumped up from the ground with a kite. The fierce light in the bear's eyes flashed with excitement: "As expected of the good horse that I have chosen, it is powerful enough!"
"Brothers, come on!"
The two big men standing at the back immediately opened their arms and pounced towards Qin Yun.
But just as the two of them jumped up, their chests suddenly seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. They flew backwards with blood spurting from their mouths, and crashed into the surrounding crowd of onlookers, causing an uproar and commotion!
Bahasa's eyes couldn't help but condense, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face.
He had been staring at Qin Yun's movements, but he didn't see Qin Yun's movements clearly just now. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and two of his men flew out.
Master!
The bald man immediately realized that he had made a mistake this time and hit the iron plate.
It's just that Bahasa dared to buy other people's mounts unscrupulously. He was not without confidence. He was not too afraid. He said to Qin Yun: "You are so brave. You dare to show off your cruelty and hurt people in Roulan City."
, do you really think that our Beiming Sect has no one?"
Qin Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense to this kind of person who pretended to be powerful. He stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the opponent, indicating that the other party would come up if he dared.
This extremely contemptuous action immediately made Bahasa furious, and he suddenly pulled out the dagger stuck in his waist.
"Ba Guangtou, when can you speak on behalf of our Beiming Sect?"
At this moment, a lazy voice came out from outside the crowd, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Bahasa's expression suddenly changed, and the ferocious look on his face disappeared. He immediately put away his dagger, and his originally straight waist also bent. The change was so fast that it was simply shocking.
I saw the crowd nearby quickly parted, and a sword cultivator in white came over with seven or eight teenagers in gray.
Seeing the visitor, Bahasa put on a flattering smile without hesitation, approached the white-clothed sword cultivator, nodded and bowed and said: "Master Lin, I didn't expect to alarm you. How dare I represent Beiming?"
Zong, I’m just angry that this kid is so reckless and cruel, so I ask you to make the decision for the villain!”
This sword cultivator surnamed Lin was less than thirty years old. He had an ordinary appearance but a very arrogant expression. He glanced at Bahasa with a half-smile and said lightly: "When did you become a patrolling disciple of our Sword Sect?"
Are you alive? You don’t think you can treat me as a swordsman just by saying a few words, do you?”
When Bahasa heard this, he started to sweat. He quickly came to the other party's side and whispered a few words.
The sword cultivator surnamed Lin was very disapproving at first, but after listening for a while, the expression on his face was no longer as indifferent as before, and seemed to be a little surprised and happy.
After Bahasa finished speaking, he stepped aside obediently. The swordsman surnamed Lin raised his chin at Qin Yun and said, "Keep your horse as compensation, and then get out of Roulan City. Let's forget about it."
Got it!"
There was a domineering tone in his tone that could not be rejected, and he simply treated Qin Yun as a piece of fish that could be slaughtered at will.
But no one around them was surprised or surprised, because Roulan City belongs to the Beiming Sect, and the disciples of the Beiming Sect have the highest authority here!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Yun to see how he would react. Bahasa even had a sinister smile on his face, as if he had seen Qin Yun's tragic end.
