The orderly broad avenues, the shops arranged in a long and narrow alley, and the slightly messy street stalls on both sides of the ordinary streets are already overcrowded at this time. This is the scene when the continental boats arrive every few months.
Fortunately, the port terminal in Xichao County is large enough and not too crowded.
Feng Ziqing walked in the front, looking around from time to time, peeking here, bending down and half-crouching there, chewing on a crispy chicken leg with oil noodles in his mouth, and holding half of it in his hand, quite leisurely.
Behind him on the left is a girl in red, holding several lifelike candy canes in her hands and eating candied haws in her mouth. She nods from time to time with a smile on her face, showing how much she loves candy.
Zhiyue walked boredly on the right side of Feng Ziqing, acting as a temporary guide. From time to time, he would introduce to him, such as the customs of this place, rare items, and local characteristics.
There is no way, who asked him to read a lot of books, and he is from Nanzhou, so it is somewhat unjustifiable that he cannot fulfill his duties as a landlord.
"Brother Bu Zhi, according to you, nearly 70% of the practitioners in Xuanhe Kingdom are warriors?" Feng Ziqing swallowed a piece of chicken and asked in surprise.
"good."
Zhiyue nodded, "Xuanhe Kingdom is located in the northwest corner of Nanzhou. Because it is close to the sea to the west, the geographical location is extremely advantageous. In addition, several generations of wise kings have made the country stronger and stronger. The people also do business well and live a prosperous life.
Therefore, any family with a bit of wealth will buy one or two books on commonly used and extremely applicable martial arts to strengthen the family strength. Even ordinary families will save money and let their children practice martial arts, so as to pass them on from generation to generation.
.”
"As for the techniques for cultivating immortals, there are relatively few of them floating around. Even if there are, they are precious things, so they are not as practical as the techniques for warriors."
"The most important thing is that, for some reason, people from the Xuanhe Kingdom are naturally in tune with martial arts. People born with supernatural powers are not uncommon in this country, and even ordinary people are stronger than people from other countries.
Many, coupled with the low threshold for warriors, over time, it has created the current state.
However, God has his way. It will be more difficult for most of the three realm warriors in this country to break through to the fourth realm than in other countries, and it is even more difficult to break through the fourth realm after that. Therefore, although martial arts prevail in Xuanhe Kingdom, the real high level
There are not many warriors in this realm."
"Oh, so that's it." Feng Ziqing asked thoughtfully, "I still don't know the specific reason?"
"I don't know, the most likely possibility is that it's because of the dragon veins here."
"Dragon vein? Is there really a dragon vein in the world?" Feng Ziqing asked, tilting his head.
Zhiyue nodded, "It is said that a true dragon appeared here once more than 100,000 years ago, and then the number of practitioners who appeared there gradually increased, and most of them were warriors. As time went by, this phenomenon gradually became recognized by the locals.
It’s the blessing left behind by the true dragon, it’s the dragon’s veins.”
"It seems that only dragon veins can affect the people of the entire country. Magic weapons or blood relationships alone are a bit difficult to believe." Feng Zi nodded lightly. According to the inference, this statement seems to be the only one that makes sense.
.
"Humph, dragon vein? From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that it appeared once more than 100,000 years ago, and no real dragon has appeared since. The closest one was just the one that appeared in the Monster Mountain Range more than 10,000 years ago.
There is a four-clawed golden dragon, but no matter what, it cannot cultivate five claws. Where in the world can dragon veins come from? Even if there are any, they are just fake dragon veins."
The girl in red chewed up the last candied haws and swallowed it. After hearing the dragon pulse, she retorted.
"What Miss Yi said is not unreasonable. The real dragon did not appear again after that. I don't know why there are real phoenixes and phoenixes in the world, but no real dragons anymore."
When it comes to the true phoenix, Feng Ziqing and Yi Zhi looked up at each other in tacit understanding. They both had the same idea. I wonder if the golden-feathered phoenix with strange eyes in the foggy forest can be cultivated into a true phoenix.
Feng Ziqing patted Zhi Yue's arm and said with a smile: "Hey, who cares, even if there is a real dragon, how can we encounter it? If we really encounter it, we have to kneel down and beg for mercy. Let's go, let's go
, let’s continue shopping, eat and have fun.”
Yi Zhi licked the candy man in her hand and nodded with satisfaction. She didn't buy it with her own money, and it seemed to taste more delicious. Why hadn't she noticed this before, even though she was not short of money?
Zhi Yue shook his head and smiled slightly. He did think a little too much, but whatever, he would be returning to the mountain in a few days, so these days would be the time to say goodbye.
In the commotion, the three figures gradually disappeared into the crowd.
The moon is shining brightly.
When the three of them returned to the inn, it was already late at night.
The streets are still brightly lit.
This is the long-standing rule of Xichao County. Each time the island boat docks, it will last from seven days to half a month. During this period, the curfew will be lifted and will be restored after the island boat leaves.
When the island ship docked, it was a good opportunity for everyone to make money, and no one wanted to miss it. Feng Ziqing even complained about this, and the rent at the decent inn that Lian Zhi Yue chose had also increased a bit.
In the room, Feng Ziqing was lying on the bed, with his head resting on his hands, legs crossed, weighing and thinking.
His trip is to continue south to the Ziluo Kingdom, while Zhiyue is going to the east, to Chengtian Sect, to return to his division and resume his duties. As for Yi Zhi, it is expected that he will return to Dongqiluo Continent.
The routes are different and naturally they are no longer the same.
Yi Zhi also wanted to go east, but she obviously would not choose to go with Zhi Yue.
After shopping for these two days, it was time to leave.
From being alone at the beginning, to a group of four, to another group of four, and now, he has experienced a lot along the way. Looking back now, he can't help but sigh in his heart. There are times when we get together and break up.
There must be a final farewell.
Zhi Yue initially looked at the unnamed book, but today, he knew that he felt a little uneasy, so he directly changed to an actual book at the end and continued to read silently.
——
In the next room, the girl in red finished eating the last candy bar in her hand and licked her mouth with a look of unfulfilled satisfaction.
In the smoky place of Dongqi Luozhou, there are really few such ordinary snacks. Last time, I was in a hurry because I was rushing to carry out my mission and I didn't even have time to explore around.
There must be a lot of gold in Feng Buzhong's hands. He needs to be killed a few times in the past few days. Otherwise, unless he can cultivate to the sixth level and participate in the Four Swordsmanship Classics, the world is so big. Can he touch it again?
It's really hard to tell if you want to fall in love with him.
Well, let’s not eat those sweets, candied haws, and other food in Fangcunwu. Let’s keep them until we get back and really want to eat them. Then we can take them out to eat.
Well, Senior Sister Hua Qian should like to eat it, but I don’t know if Master will eat it. Let’s forget it. I’d rather not let Master eat it, lest she say I’m greedy.
"Alas." The girl in red held her chin with her hands, feeling a little melancholy for no reason, and murmured to herself: "I'm leaving in a few days, why do I feel so reluctant to leave? Well, maybe it's because there are so many delicious things here.
,Well, yes, that should be it.”
Thinking of this, the girl in red decided to increase her killing power.
A few days later, the shopping trip ended at the expense of half the amount of gold in Feng Ziqing's square inch items.
This day, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing.
Feng Ziqing stood not far outside the inn door, while Yi Zhi beside him was looking around boredly.
After a while, Zhi Yue came out of the inn after checking out, and then said with a smile: "The inn is really busy these days, so I have to wait for a while to check out."
Feng Ziqing smiled back and said, "I guessed it earlier. It's nothing. Come on, I'll take you out of the city."
Xichao County, outside the Dongcheng Gate.
Zhiyue, who was wearing a blue gown, bowed to the wind and saluted, and said: "It is an honor for me to meet brother Bu Zhong. Although it has not been long, it has benefited me a lot. I have confidence in brother Bu Zhong.
I hope that when the Four Essays on Swords Ceremony is held, I can meet Brother Fu Zhong again, and then we can have a good chat."
Yi Zhi curled her lips, and it turned out to be the same as what Senior Sister Hua Qian had said. When a scholar leaves, the most ink stains are on it.
Feng Ziqing laughed loudly, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Bu Zhi, it's time to see the outside world. Let's not make any parting words between us. We will definitely see you again in the future. Just wait."
Zhiyue smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll wait quietly for your voice."
"I've sent you thousands of miles away, but I have to say goodbye eventually. I'm not a straight brother, so cherish it."
"treasure."
After saying that, Zhiyue nodded slightly towards the girl in red, who nodded in response. He took two steps back, saluted solemnly to the two of them, then turned around and stepped in the air, and the blue sword floated under his feet, whooshing
With a sound, Yu Jian left.
Feng Ziqing looked at Zhiyue's retreating background and couldn't help but nodded. There was a sense of freedom and ease, which was very consistent with the rigidity during the fight.
