Wang Si finally arrived at Shanglin, the capital city of Heyang County.
The journey was full of hardships and obstacles, making him feel like he was seeing the light of day again.
Seeing the majestic and towering city wall at this moment, Wang Si was as shocked as those travelers who came to Shanglin for the first time.
The scale of this big city, bustling with people and baptized with blood, is far beyond what a small remote town can match.
Can I really find Shen Xiu here?
Looking at the endless stream of people at the city gate, and even a long queue of people entering the city behind, Wang Si himself couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
It's just that such a city is too big and has too many people. Finding one person among so many people is really not an easy task.
Even now, when he arrived at Shanglin where Shen Xiu was, Wang Si still had great doubts in his heart.
He didn't understand the purpose of his letter.
As a disciple of the same batch of handymen who entered the Jinhong Martial Arts Hall, it can be said that he watched the original Shen Xiu soar into the sky, but what he learned later was that the original Shen Xiu was forced to leave.
When I left Taixi City, my cultivation level was only at the level of the three realms of bone-cutting.
Zhao Xian, who was sent by Fenglei Martial Arts Gym to compete in the gym, is a master of five realms of marrow cleansing. He also vividly remembers the battle with Xiang Shou, the gym owner, that day.
The owner of the hall, Xiang Shou, was originally a master of returning to the four realms. In front of that Zhao Xian, he couldn't even make three moves and fell to the ground seriously injured.
The gap was so obvious that everyone present felt despair.
What will happen to such a powerful person even if he finds Shen Xiu?
However, looking for Shen Xiu was all Duan Jiaoxi’s intention, and he had no way to refute it.
Close to Shanglin City Gate.
Wang Si followed the endless flow of people into the city.
The unfamiliar and bustling scene inside made him a little dizzy. He didn't know where to start even if he wanted to find Shen Xiu.
His eyes searched around the streets in the city. Wang Si's eyes paused and suddenly stopped at a restaurant not far from the city gate.
As we all know, the bustling and noisy places in a city are often the places where news circulates the most. Professor Duan did not give Shen Xiu his current address. It would be better to go to a restaurant to find out instead of wandering around like a headless fly.
Stepping into the restaurant named Yipinxiang, Wang Si ordered a few plates of hard dishes and started to devour them.
This road was not peaceful in the end. There were two waves of bandits on the mountain alone. Later, Wang Si learned the lesson and did not take those remote trails in the mountains at all. He specialized in walking in places with a lot of people.
He was in a hurry and looking for a safe road. This journey consumed a lot of energy and he barely had a decent meal.
"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen a martial arts cultivator named Shen Xiu here?"
After devouring for a while, when he went to the restaurant shopkeeper to pay the bill, Wang Si handed over a few broken pieces of silver and followed the pudgy shopkeeper who took the money and asked.
The short and fat shopkeeper behind the counter was making calculations. When he heard this, his shrewd eyes flashed slightly, "I'm asking, is your name Shen Xiu?"
Seeing the reaction of the short and fat shopkeeper, Wang Si couldn't help but be startled. He was thinking about Shanglin in Fucheng. Could it be that Shen Xiu was so famous that he could find out just by asking the shopkeeper?
Wang Si stared at the face of the short and fat shopkeeper, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Shen Xiu."
"Who are you?"
The short and fat shopkeeper of Pingpinglou stopped his calculations and did not answer immediately. Instead, his small eyes glanced at Wang Si a few times, and then asked.
Hearing the unspoken tone of these words, Wang Si suddenly felt that something was amiss. He carefully considered his words and said, "After all, he and I came from the same martial arts school, so we should be brothers in the same sect."
Hearing what the young man said, the pudgy shopkeeper's eyes moved slightly, and he was quite surprised.
The young man named Shen Xiu can be said to have been an old customer of Yipinlou for a long time. He has a big appetite and eats a lot. It can be said that everyone from top to bottom of Yipinlou’s shop knows him.
This person is Chen Xiu's fellow disciple, so he must be pretty strong in cultivation.
Thinking of this, the short and fat shopkeeper's face suddenly became kind.
"I don't know much about the residence of little brother Shen Xiu, but you can go to the Yun family in the south of the city to have a look. Brother Shen Xiu is a guest of the Yun family, so they must know about it."
Wang Si couldn't help but feel happy when he learned about Shen Xiu's specific clues. Then he was a little surprised when he heard the meaning of the short and fat shopkeeper's words.
The big family obviously has enough strength to serve as a guest minister, but I didn't expect that Shen Xiu has already gotten to such a level.
He immediately went to the hall with the short and fat shopkeeper to find out where the Yun family was, and then walked out of the restaurant with thanks.
After asking a few passers-by on the way, he quickly found the location of the Yun family. After making an announcement, Wang Si easily stepped into the Yun family.
……
Wutong Lane in Pinganfang.
Courtyard No. 37.
Shen Xiu, who was in the courtyard, continued to train his body, and his proficiency in the second level of Suppressing Prison Dragon Elephant Strength was reached to 86.2%. After taking a rest, he took out the black sword, then added a few drops of blood, and continued to cultivate his sword skills in the same way. The picture album on "warming and nourishing".
The connection between them is the same as before.
But the obsession of being able to wield a sword thousands of miles away made Shen Xiu persevere as always. The changes in the progress data recorded on the panel made him even more motivated to continue practicing.
After persisting like this for a while, there was a knocking sound on the courtyard door outside the house.
Shen Xiu walked through the door and took a look and found that it was the butler and deacon of the Yun family.
Seeing Shen Xiu open the door, he immediately saluted and said respectfully: "Shen Congfang, a young man from Taixi City has come to the house. He calls himself Wang Si and says he knows you. Can you see if it's true, Shen Congfang?" I’m not just going to drive them away.”
"Taixi City, Wangsi..."
The rather distant name suddenly broke into Chen Xiu's mind, leaving him in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses.
"Then did Wang Si tell his identity?"
Shen Xiu was a little surprised, but still asked.
The housekeeper nodded, "I heard from that young man that he is a disciple of Jinhong Martial Arts School from Taixi City. This time, I am helping Mr. Duan from the Martial Arts School to give you a message."
Hearing these words, Shen Xiu nodded secretly, and the identity of the person coming was almost confirmed.
The only one who was among the servant disciples was Wang Si.
After talking to the housekeeper and deacon for a while, Shen Xiu quickly rushed to a courtyard of the Yun family.
Very conspicuously, I saw the familiar face from before.
More than a year has passed.
Wang Si has grown a bit taller, his face is darker than before, and his whole body is beginning to show a strong and powerful aura.
Observing his demeanor, it was obvious that he had embarked on the path of martial arts that he had always dreamed of before.
