Chapter 185: The First Encounter in Landscape (Part 1)
After the destruction of the Chen Kingdom, the world was divided, and the four martial arts sects separated themselves and divided their territories into kings.
Among them, Tianxiahui, located in the southwest and standing on Dong Mountain, is the most respected.
The Dong Mountain is a thousand miles away, and it is the territory directly under the Tianxiahui, and it is also the most prosperous.
The chaos in the mountains and rivers more than ten years ago has come to an end early. The pain of yesterday has already scabbed under the care of time. If you don't touch it intentionally, you will no longer feel the pain.
And just over a hundred miles away from Dong Mountain, there is a temple mountain.
At the foot of Miao Mountain, there is a wild shop.
On weekdays, I mainly sell tea and dry food to passing merchants to make ends meet.
On this day, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was dozing off at the table with his head propped up.
Middle-aged men are so busy. After getting married and having children, they have to take care of their wives and children, endure their unreasonable wives and their children's coquettish behavior. They also have to run a business and make money to support the family. It is rare for a wife to take her children back to her parents' home for a visit.
Old man, the shopkeeper also has time to take a breath. At this moment, he is a little careless in business and can't care about it. It's better to take some time to rest.
Suddenly, in the distance, the furious sound of horse hooves was heard.
When I looked up, I saw a tall figure riding a maroon horse, galloping towards me from a distance with smoke and dust all the way.
Before the people arrived, the sound came first.
"Boss! Quickly boil a pot of wine and prepare more steamed buns and dry food. If there is anything appetizing to eat, feel free to bring some. Don't be reluctant to part with it. We have enough money."
The sound is like thunder, shocking the surrounding areas.
The shopkeeper knew that this person must be a wealthy person from the world.
People in the martial arts practice martial arts, so they are all pot-bellied, and the shopkeeper has long been accustomed to it.
He skillfully boiled a pot of turbid wine and mixed it with fine sand. It was as hard as iron lumps. Some bacon and sausages that had been there for an unknown period of time were also steamed and served together.
When he took a closer look, even the 'well-informed' shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh in his heart... What a big man.
But I saw the person who came, with slightly red cheeks and bronze skin. He was about nine feet tall, with strong muscles and long hair. There was something wrapped in a gray coarse cloth behind his back. Judging from the shape, it looked like a sword or other weapon.
His whole body exuded a brave and strong aura.
Although Jianghu knights travel around the world, they often have the idea of "bringing two kilograms of good wine and cutting half a kilogram of beef." But in fact, in ordinary rural taverns, there is no good wine, and most of them are bad wines secretly brewed by themselves.
It's sour and turbid, and it's boring to drink too much. It can only be used to rinse your mouth and satisfy your cravings. And there is absolutely no such thing as beef. If it does exist... it must be other meat called 'beef'.
It is possible to taste the taste of two-legged cows in black shops.
The big man was not picky, he just took off his chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
Without knowing any kung fu, the table full of wine, food, and steamed buns was all eaten.
I even drank more than half a pot of tea.
This big man actually ate what would normally take at least five strong men to finish.
The shopkeeper had a smile on his face.
This meal alone consumed a lot of his inventory.
The big man was not satisfied yet, so he took out a few pieces of dried meat made of unknown meat from the bag.
The shopkeeper took a closer look and smelled the strong smell of blood from the shriveled meat.
"It turns out to be monster meat! It's amazing!" The shopkeeper knew that in this world, those who could afford to eat monster meat and digest monster meat were at least very good experts.
After all, this place is not far from Dong Mountain. Although the shopkeeper does not practice martial arts, he knows a little about it.
Not long after, there was another sound of horse hooves.
A total of eight cavalry were arranged in front and back, and they all stopped at the entrance of the wild store.
The shopkeeper immediately ran out and led everyone's horses to a nearby tree and tied them up.
Then he hurried about in a hurry, greeting the guests and acting as a cook without touching the floor.
As for the standard waiter... Such a wild store cannot afford to hire young and strong waiters.
"Hey! Have you heard about it? Yu Miao, the young sect leader of the Shencan Sect, is coming to our Tianying Castle this time. I heard that the young sect leader looks like... Hehe! The country is beautiful and fragrant, how beautiful it is.
The girl's family... and even the boy's family were all moved by him! But half a year ago, the handsome man... was called the most beautiful woman in the world by the flower-picking thief Butterfly, and he actually gave up the thousands of flowers and refused to pick them.
I want to serve him as a slave and a maid, riding in front of the horse and behind the back." After everyone sat down, one of them spoke and started talking.
Another person sneered: "Can you believe this? Huadie is also an old man in the world. What kind of stunning beauty has he never seen? I guess it's just a lie he told to fool young people, but he is unlucky and doesn't know.
Why, he failed and was pierced through the throat with a sword. Within half a year, the big thief who broke into the boudoir of seventeen famous chivalrous girls died like this at the sword of a yellow-haired kid. It was unjust.
.”
"Hush! Second brother! Shut up! This is the territory of Tianxiahui. Both Shencanzong and Tianxiahui are about to wear a pair of trousers. They say that Shencanzong is a nail driven into the north of Tianxiahui. You are talking about God here.
Isn’t it true that speaking ill of the young master of the Silkworm Sect is seeking death?” someone reminded in a low voice.
"Boss! Check out!" The big man slapped a silver bead on the table and walked out spontaneously without waiting for change. With a whistle, the horse that had previously run into the forest to graze on its own galloped out.
The big man jumped on his horse and galloped in the other direction of the road.
"That was... the rouge horse just now?"
"That's not true!"
"Eh! So... that big man is the blood-drinking dragon Shen Chu who has become famous recently?"
"Why is he here? Look in this direction, he is heading towards our Sky Eagle Castle!"
"Let's go! Follow us quietly. The blood-drinking dragon became famous three years ago. Everywhere he passes is covered in blood. Although many people are not killed by him, wherever he passes, there will inevitably be shocking murders. I don't know if this time...
Who will it fall on?" There was a trace of fear in someone's voice.
"How can it be so evil! We have all seen real monsters and monsters, and have been surrounded and killed by the castle master. How can we be afraid of such a person? Besides, this place is under the rule of the Tianxiahui, who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Amidst the sparse words, the group of people also left some scattered currency and then went out.
Among the people, in addition to hard currency gold and silver.
There are also military coins made by the World Society, which can also be regarded as general equivalents.
Of course, because there was no replacement of the Chen State's court, the currency used by the Chen State in the past could still be used.
Shen Chu rode his horse, thinking about something in his mind.
He promised his master that he would never enter the territory of the Tianxiahui until he reached the state of fitness.
Half a year ago, he broke through to the realm of Juyi.
Condensed the true meaning of his martial arts.
But he still had some feelings about the fit state.
At this time, he broke his promise to his master.
Because there was one thing...he had to do.
Tianying Castle...Wang Hanzhi, the owner of Tianying Castle, killed his sworn brother Liu Feixu half a month ago.
Liu Feixu and he were once close friends of life and death.
Three years ago, when he was just starting out, someone plotted against him. It was Liu Feixu who saved his life regardless of personal life and death, and was eager for public justice.
It is difficult to repay such kindness and virtue.
Now that Liu Feixu is dead, Shen Chu must avenge him.
In Tianying Castle, on top of the piano tower, a stunning 'beauty' was playing the piano.
If he weren't wearing men's clothing and had a flat chest, he would definitely be regarded as a woman with extraordinary appearance.
Even so, there are often people who regard him as a woman disguised as a man.
"Meditate! Has everyone outside dispersed?" The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the 'Beautiful Lady' spoke.
His voice is not as thick and masculine as that of ordinary men, but rather feminine and neutral, similar to that of some women with thicker voices.
"Young Master! The eldest and second young masters of the castle lord are... are jealous of... the competition... Third Miss and the granddaughter of the famous martial arts master Huang Senior are also quarreling with each other. They are all vying to see you, young master." A blind girl walked in.
Normally, no one would use a blind girl as a maid.
But this 'beautiful woman' is obviously an exception.
If she were not a blind girl, those who served him closely, regardless of gender, would have difficulty restraining certain impulses and would behave inappropriately.
Many experiences in the past have taught this 'beautiful woman' enough lessons.
Of course, the blind girl cannot see the outside scene.
So she is just a mouthpiece.
More servants are still waiting outside the door, and they will not come within ten meters of this 'beautiful lady'.
"It's really...annoying!" The beauty sighed, and couldn't help but think of the master's instructions before leaving.
The world will dominate the world, and Tianqi Martial Emperor Anyuan, whose strength is unpredictable, is known as the best person in the world, the restarter of ancient martial arts, and the savior hero who saved the world.
However, too hot sunlight often makes all creatures living under the sun unbearable.
Emperor Tianqi is too strong, too domineering and forceful.
So much so that the whole world, the whole world, must be exposed and trembling under his light.
Tianying Castle is just one of many small forces that are attached to and controlled by Tianxiahui.
But the Miao Mountain adjacent to it is an extremely important pass.
If you master Tianying Castle, you master Temple Mountain.
Once there is any large-scale movement in Tianxiahui, as long as Miaoshan is locked up, it will be difficult for Tianxiahui to send its disciples northward on a large scale.
"Is Lord Wang still in retreat?" the beauty asked knowingly.
The blind girl replied: "I heard from the eldest son that... yes! Lord Wang seems to have been injured in a duel and needs to retreat for healing."
The beauty sighed.
Then he said: "Prepare... prepare clothes for me! I want to go out for a walk!"
A strange look appeared on the blind girl's face, and then she walked away with tiny steps.
Although she is a blind girl, she has practiced sonic martial arts. She can feel the distance and objects through sound waves like a bat, without bumping into or falling down.
After the 'beauty' was finished dressing up, she put a human skin mask on her face, and an ordinary girl appeared vividly.
After 'she' told the blind girl a few words, she opened the window, stepped on the breeze, jumped out of the piano building and flew down towards the streets of Tianying Castle.
