To be honest, he was not really willing to be an enemy of Mingyue Village.
Because in the eyes of the villagers, Mingyue Village is considered a good village, at least much better than Jiudaotang.
But if Mingyue Village is looking for trouble on its own, then Xi Zhong must also let them know what it means to be someone they can't afford to offend.
Xi Zhong led the horse and stepped out, already down the mountain.
Taking another step forward, we were already on the stone path again.
Start to continue on your way.
Xi Zhong still walked slowly, taking his time.
He didn't travel far away because he really wanted to see what this extremely ordinary world was like.
Xi Zhong took a look at the map and found that the next city Xi Zhong wanted to reach was the city named Tianshui City.
Moreover, this was the place where Xi Zhong had previously beheaded the leader of the Nine Blades Hall.
But Xi Zhong didn't care too much, so let's go and have a look.
One hundred miles, if Xi Zhong travels in the wind, he will arrive quickly, but if he rides a horse and travels slowly, it will only take two days to travel.
The main reason is that Xi Zhong did not rush the horse, but just let the horse take a leisurely pace, walking and grazing at the same time.
As for Xi Zhong, he was lying on his horse, basking in the sun and listening to the chirping of birds in the mountains. It was so relaxing.
During this period, Xi Zhong met two groups of caravans.
Both groups of caravans were escorted by dozens of highly skilled Jianghu bodyguards.
The two groups of caravans saw Xi Zhong passing by in a swaggering manner, glanced at Xi Zhong, and ignored him.
And Xi Zhong also knew that the reason why these caravans paid high prices to hire these Jianghu bodyguards with good skills was because they were worried that the bandits from Jiudaotang would intercept them, or that the bandits from Mingyue Village would rob them of their finances.
Mingyue Village may be a good den of bandits in the eyes of the villagers of Huoshu Village, but in the eyes of these caravans, they are all enemies.
No matter how good Mingyue Village is, there are still bandits who want to rob their property.
Xi Zhong lay on the horse, swaying for another half a day.
Finally, in the evening, we finally arrived at Tianshui City.
But at this moment, the gates of Tianshui City have been completely closed, and it seems that it is a city with a curfew.
Fortunately, Tianshui City is very prosperous. Even outside the city, there is a small town nearby. In the small town, there is an inn that is quite popular.
That inn is called "Snowflake Inn".
The name actually doesn't sound strange, but in this season, it actually sounds a bit strange.
After Xi Zhong arrived at the inn, he handed the horse to the waiter at the inn and let him sign the horse to the backyard to feed it. Xi Zhong also gave the waiter three or three taels of silver as a tip.
The waiter happily took over Xi Zhong's horse, and then said firmly: "If you, the guest, let your horse lose weight while you are staying here, I am willing to bear any punishment."
It seems that money can make the world go round. It is indeed a truth.
It feels really good to have money.
Xi Zhong had previously earned hundreds of thousands of jade spirit stones. Before setting off, he took out dozens of jade spirit stones and replaced them with ordinary human silver taels. In the end, he was able to exchange them for hundreds of thousands of taels.
Silver, contained in a storage ring.
It seems that Jade Spirit Stones are really extremely precious. No wonder Sister Ren only gave her fifty Jade Spirit Stones when she first came out to him.
However, in the extremely prosperous monk city like Black Flame City, fifty jade spirit stones obviously can't do anything. Even staying for one night requires thirty jade spirit stones to be exchanged for human silver.
That would cost more than ten or two hundred thousand silver taels to stay one night.
Ridiculously expensive.
Of course, in Black Flame City, Jade Spirit Stone is the basic universal currency, so naturally it cannot be compared with human silver coins.
Moreover, there is a low-level magic formula like "turning stone into gold" on the mountain. As long as a monk in the enlightenment realm can actually learn it, this kind of magic formula is still relatively scarce.
However, many monks cannot learn the true "Midas that turns stone into gold", but they can use blinding methods to deceive ordinary people under the mountain.
This kind of thing actually happens quite often.
Some monks with extremely bad tempers used stones, and then used magic to cover the stones with a blinding effect, so that ordinary human shopkeepers could see it as gold, and finally accept it happily. After a period of time,
, the gold turned into a stone, causing great harm to the shopkeeper.
Of course, Xi Zhong is definitely not the kind of monk without conscience. He will definitely not lie to these shopkeepers, let alone use deceitful methods to make these shopkeepers suffer.
After booking the room, Xi Zhong ordered a table full of delicious food and wine, drinking and eating by himself, which was very leisurely.
The food at the inn here is actually quite good, and for Xi Zhong, it is edible.
But it would be better if Xi Zhong could do it himself.
But now that he is away from home, Xi Zhong is too lazy to do it himself, so he can just be casual and eat it.
As night falls, the town begins to light up.
Xi Zhong thought for a while and did not practice directly. Instead, he walked to the first floor of the inn and found that many guests began to go out arm-in-arm.
Xi Zhong waved his hand, called the waiter over, and asked where these people were going.
The waiter just smiled and said: "When you ask this question, guest officer, you must not be a local of our Tianshui City. Our town is very close to the Tianshui River in the distance, and the Tianshui River is
There is a ship moored on the ship, and there is a young and beautiful boatwoman on the ship. That is where the guests want to go. "
Hearing this, Xi Zhong nodded clearly and tossed another one tael of silver to the waiter.
The waiter happily accepted it, this guest is very generous.
Here, one tael of silver is enough to feed a poor family for half a month.
At the end of the day, the waiter got four taels of silver, which was a rich harvest.
When he was happy, even if Xi Zhong didn't take the initiative to ask, the waiter also started pouring beans through a bamboo tube and continued to explain to Xi Zhong: "Of course, those boat girls are not slutty brothel girls who sell their bodies. Those boat girls
, in fact, it is the girls from some surrounding towns and even Tianshui City who specially come on board to be the boat girls."
"And the reason why they become boat girls is that they naturally want to find a husband of their own choice. Our place in Tianshui City is very relaxed for women to choose a mate. If a woman doesn't want to obey her parents,
Assigned, then there is only one choice, which is to get on the boat, become the boat girl, and wait all the time. On the boat, they can give questions to test the men, or they can always wait on the boat for the destined person. This custom is
A hundred years ago, an immortal master who passed by this place personally made an agreement with the city lord at that time, and none of us here dared to disobey, so it has continued to this day."
When Xi Zhong heard this, he became a little interested, "Didn't anyone object to these boatmen during this period?"
"There must be many people who are against it, especially the parents of those women who are unwilling to obey their elders in marriage, but there is no other way. This custom is personally protected by the Lord of Tianshui City. No one can violate it. Anyone who violates it is
You will go to jail." The waiter explained softly.
Xi Zhong laughed dumbly.
That monk who passed by a hundred years ago was so full that he had nothing to do.
However, this custom is good. At least it allows many women in Tianshui City to have the right to choose their husbands.
This is good.
Very rare.
I'm afraid that monk is not a flower picker wandering among all kinds of women.
The waiter smiled again and said: "I would like to suggest that you go shopping, sir. You are well-off, and there are many beautiful boat girls in those ships. Especially recently, I heard that some new ones have arrived.
A boatman's girl with an extremely good appearance was looking for a husband. However, the faces of the boatman's girls with extremely good looks were covered at that time, but they only looked at the figure and the outline of the face. Many experienced flower pickers said they were top-notch, so you might as well go shopping.
If you go shopping, you might be very lucky and it would be nice to be able to take those famous boat girls into your arms and accompany you on your travels."
The waiter's words were extremely sincere.
Someone like Xi Zhong who can easily get away with several taels of silver... Bah, no, he's a rich and handsome young man. On that ship, he's a hot commodity.
Generally speaking, a young man from a rich family like this can only be favored by women.
Xi Zhong thought about it and felt that he was indeed bored now. After walking for a day and looking at the landscape, he was a little tired. It would be good to look at the beauties to relax his mind.
Then Xi Zhong stood up and threw another one tael of silver to the waiter, "Thank you, I'll go take a look."
The waiter happily took the two taels of silver again, and then said attentively: "Do you want me to lead the way?"
Xi Zhong shook his head, "Forget it, I'll go there by myself. Many people in the town are heading there anyway, so I'll just follow the flow of people."
The waiter could only nod regretfully.
If he could follow the guest, he would not have to rest tonight, because he could be sure that as long as he served this young master, he would get a lot of money.
After all, this young master is unfamiliar with this place, so it would be great to have him lead the way.
However, the young master refused, and he could no longer continue to flatter him.
Xi Zhong walked out of the inn and looked up into the distance.
Indeed, above a large river in the distance, the moonlight was bright and sparkling.
There are more than a dozen ships parked on the river.
The boat is decorated in a very rouge style, and you can tell it is a daughter boat at a glance.
Xi Zhong held the back of his head with both hands and walked over slowly.
Next, I'm afraid I'm going to witness the competition in the TV series to find a bride, right?
