Dongji County is the capital of Dongzhou Prefecture, the largest and most prosperous county. Lin Xiao did not leave immediately, but planned to stay in Dongji County for a while.
The Left and Right Zhenwu Division is on leave. Lin Xiao has not yet decided whether to go to the Prefecture and Town Wu Division. As he is the deputy envoy of the County and Town Wu Division, he cannot directly join the Prefecture and Town Wu Division. He needs to be transferred and go through the procedures.
, at most, he could seek asylum from the Prefecture Zhenwu Division when necessary by relying on his status as a colleague of the Zhenwu Division.
As for the Lin family, Lin Xiao doesn't plan to go at the moment. It's not long since the new year has just started. He and Lin Zhengya have agreed to go this year, even at the end of the year. The main reason is that he has a lot of troubles and doesn't want to be involved.
The Lin family, although the Lin family is not weak and has a martial arts master at its command, it is still too weak compared to the powerful enemies that it has provoked.
As for Brother Ax, he ran away after breaking through the realm, and no one knows where he went. There is no news about him, and the cheap master has no idea where he has wandered to.
"After all, it was my weak shoulders that could withstand everything." Lin Xiao sighed.
Lian Yunmeng's Black Mountain Sword Master and Yi Jian Sect were like two mountains pressing down on his heart. Lin Xiao also knew that he could hide it for a while, but he probably couldn't hide it for the rest of his life. He didn't know how long he could delay it.
We must improve our cultivation, strength, and everything as much as possible.
Lin Xiao can also choose to quickly return to Lin'an County, Kunning County, and live a low-key life. In this way, the possibility of Yijianmen and the Black Mountain Sword Master trying to find him will be even lower.
However, it does not mean that it cannot be found. The difference is only a matter of time.
"My current advantage is that the inherited treasure of Shenxiao Mountain can absorb martial arts fortune, and martial arts fortune can be used to improve martial arts and martial arts, directly enhancing my strength." Lin Xiao thought secretly.
As far as Lin'an County is concerned, wherever you stay, it will be difficult for you to gain much luck in martial arts. The improvement of your physical strength will be slow. You can only rely on your own cultivation. Maybe your cultivation talent is not bad, but compared with the top geniuses in the world.
There is a gap in comparison. For example, Wu Er from Lin'an County Zhenwu Division, his cultivation talent should be above his own.
Are you willing?
Are you willing to lie dormant and rely solely on your own efforts to practice and spend a long time before you can achieve significant improvement?
No!
You have to become famous as early as possible, and become stronger while you are still young, so that you can fly high.
Lin Xiao also didn't want to wait for him to become a strong man and walk around the world when he was old. That would be too long.
Dongji County is so big, it will definitely harvest more martial arts luck. More martial luck will allow you to grow better and faster, which is incomparable to any magic pill.
Of course, doing so may speed up your exposure, causing Black Mountain Sword Master and Yijian Sect to target you.
To put it simply, staying in Dongji County means dangers and opportunities coexist.
How to choose?
Lin Xiao chose to stay, get opportunities, and face dangers.
In martial arts training, there is no smooth and stable way. It is just like joining a gang in order to make a living. When a gang war breaks out, it will be a life-and-death fight. Either you die or I live.
A mere small gang cannot be compared with the martial arts world, but to a certain extent it can be regarded as a simplification and a microcosm.
Yijianmen's Qi training pills Lin Xiao was refined one after another. With the third level of Tianhe Lian Jiuxiao, he maximized the efficacy of the Qi training pills and refined them into pure inner Qi.
Cultivation.
The energy within the Tianhe flow surged, contracted momentarily, and then burst out, breaking through a layer of small shackles.
Perfect!
"Zhenwu is complete." Lin Xiao was secretly happy.
If you stay in Lin'an County and don't leave, it is still unknown whether your cultivation level can reach Zhenwu Dacheng. Don't expect perfection.
As the saying goes: A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.
The water is too shallow for even the dragon's body to accommodate, and the food is far from enough. How to feed it? Even if it survives, it will probably be malnourished.
Lin Xiao likened himself to a real dragon. Lin'an County is shallow water, and even Kunning County is not considered deep water. Only places like Dongji County can be considered deep water.
There are many martial arts masters here, and there are also some good martial arts masters.
After achieving a breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Xiao took several baggage with him, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the city of Dongji County.
The Prefecture and Town Military Division is within the county seat. If anything happens, such as encountering a danger that you cannot resist, you can still hope to ask for help from the Prefecture and Town Military Division.
At the same time, the Black Mountain Sword Master has crossed the Lanjiang River and is crossing the Shuilan County. He is about to enter the Dongji County and go straight to the Wenjian Peak. He is rushing at the speed of a top swordsman, which is faster than the horse galloping at full speed.
Much more.
…
Showing his photo ID, Lin Xiao led the horse into Dongji County and was deeply shocked.
big!
Very big!
Very big!
The width of the road is at least twice as wide as that of Kunning County. It is made of large bluestone slabs cut neatly. Each slab is three meters long and three meters wide. It is neatly paved and swept.
It's clean and there doesn't seem to be any dust.
This point alone is better than several counties and cities that Lin Xiao has visited.
The houses on both sides of the street are lined up in rows, very neat and uniform in height.
The place Lin Xiao entered was just a city gate in Dongji County. The huge Dongji County City had sixteen gates, four gates in the southeast and northwest, otherwise it would be so huge.
Some people want to enter the city, some want to go out, some are far away from the city gate, and they have to rush through several towns to get there, which is obviously very troublesome.
Dongji County is larger than Kunning County, and there are obviously more markets in it. According to Lin Jiangfeng, Dongji County is first divided into five major areas: southeast, northwest, middle, and each area has many markets.
More or less, there are as many as twenty-nine cities and towns in Dongji County, which belong to the five major districts.
Other forces also own properties in various cities and towns in Wudafang District of the county, ranging from one shop to several shops, to larger ones owning a street, and to the most powerful one occupying a city alone.
For example, Yijianmen, Xu family, etc. According to Lin Jiangfeng, the Lin family also has industries in the county. They are located in Wudafang City, Dongfang District. They each have two shops, mainly selling drinks. Dongji Lin
His Gujing Brewing is quite famous in the county, and many restaurants also sell some Gujing Brewing.
"Find a restaurant to have a meal first, then refill the drinks, and inquire about the situation in Dongji County." Lin Xiao looked away and led the horse to walk on the wide street. The pedestrians were like running water, and Lin Xiao was like a fallen leaf.
Floating in the water.
There are many restaurants in the county, large and small. From a distance, you can see the flags of the restaurants fluttering in the wind, as if they are welcoming guests from all over.
Choosing a restaurant that looked pretty good and stepping into it, Lin Xiao familiarly ordered their signature dishes and asked for news.
The waiters in places like restaurants are often very well-informed.
The place where Lin Xiao came in was Dongfang District. However, Lin Xiao did not go to look for Lin's wine shop. Instead, he asked about Gujing Brewing in this restaurant and planned to taste it.
"Sir, you have asked the right person. A big event is about to happen in the county recently." The restaurant clerk immediately smiled showily, and without waiting for Lin Xiao to ask a question, he quickly explained: "The famous Qingyuan Club in Dongji County
It's about to begin, and many martial arts geniuses have come to participate."
The larger the place, the more popular martial arts is, and the information about warriors is not so closed. Many ordinary people can know about it. Also because of the popularity of martial arts, many ordinary people can learn a few skills, practice for a long time, and become external practitioners.
It is inevitable to be a quasi-martial artist.
For example, this restaurant boy looked like he was in his twenties, but Lin Xiao could feel that he was a quasi-martialist, or that he could not be completely regarded as a quasi-martialist. He could only be regarded as someone with external training, but he did not necessarily master any martial arts.
Planting and practicing martial arts are just to keep fit.
"Qingyuan Club..." Lin Xiao became interested: "Can you please tell me what this Qingyuan Club is?"
The boy was shocked, as if he had found an opportunity to show off, and immediately said: "Son, please listen to me..."
After a long explanation, Lin Xiao understood that the so-called Qingyuan Meeting was a gathering of the younger generation in Dongji County. It was originally initiated by a few martial arts geniuses drinking tea and chatting in a place to discuss the way of cultivation. Later,
More and more people participated, and it gradually formed a large scale. Later, someone simply officially named it Qingyuan Hui, and agreed to meet once a month to verify each other's martial arts practices, etc.
But every time there are new people coming to participate, and the reputation of the Qingyuan Club is getting bigger and bigger, and a month has become a bit short. After all, some people leave and it is difficult to come back in just one month.
After changing again and again, in the end, the Qingyuan Meeting became more and more perfect, and it was set as an annual event, that is, at the beginning of every spring. If there is a delay, a notice needs to be issued, but the delay shall not exceed three months. If it exceeds three months,
, either someone has to be replaced to hold the event, or they will be disqualified and will not be allowed to participate in the Qingyuan Festival again in the future.
The Qingyuan Club is a gathering of martial arts geniuses. At the gathering, you can test your martial arts with other martial arts geniuses and improve yourself. It is very rare. In addition, participating in the Qingyuan Club is still a symbol for many people.
A symbol of martial arts genius.
To some extent, the Qingyuan Club has become an authoritative representative over the past few decades. It would be a shame to be removed from the Qingyuan Club, and almost no one would be willing to do so.
There are still ten days left for the opening of this Qingyuan Club, but except for those famous martial arts geniuses who can directly participate, some less famous martial artists must obtain qualifications if they want to participate. How to obtain qualifications?
First go to the City Health Department to register, verify your identity and then pass the test. Only those who pass the test can be qualified. Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the guy. This is a tip. Let's
He is a rich man, with a net worth of more than several hundred thousand taels, and a mere ten taels is nothing.
"Thank you for the reward, young master. I wish you a prosperous military career, a Qingyuan Club, and a reputation in the East." The waiter said a lot of good words in a familiar voice.
While tasting Gujing Niang, the taste is quite good and can be regarded as a good wine.
Lin Xiao is not an experienced drinker now, but he has drunk a lot of wine and has considerable tasting ability.
"Qingyuan Club." Lin Xiao's eyes gradually brightened, getting brighter and more radiant. It was not a good place to brush up on achievements. Moreover, it was also a gathering of many geniuses, and maybe he could even meet them.
One or even several people with purple martial arts luck.
Purple martial arts are many times better than cyan martial arts.
…
One Sword Gate.
"I don't have a disciple named Lin Qiubai." Feiliu Sword Sect stared at Black Mountain Sword Master and said coldly, his eyes radiating cold light, as if he wanted to pierce Black Mountain Sword Master.
If he hadn't been concerned about the Lianyun Alliance behind the Black Mountain Sword Master, he would have drawn his sword and killed this man long ago.
Black Mountain Sword Master's face was also extremely ugly. On the one hand, it was because of the attitude of Feiliu Sword Sect, and on the other hand, he knew that he had been completely fooled by a junior true warrior. A disciple of Feiliu Sword Sect died.
, is still looking for the murderer, and now someone dares to pretend to be his disciple, he is furious, and the murderous intention is constantly gathering in his heart.
The master cannot be insulted!
Isn't it just insulting yourself by pretending to be your disciple? What's more, you still have ulterior motives in trying to cause a conflict between yourself and the Black Mountain Sword Master, which will lead to a feud between Yijianmen and Lianyun League.
Even the dynasty would be wary of Jianmen and would not be willing to become enemies easily.
The intentions are extremely sinister!
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I'll take my leave." Heishan Sword Master said coldly. Feiliu Sword Sect is indeed a master of swordsmanship and is better than me, but Heishan Sword Master doesn't have much fear because he didn't offend the other party very much.
At most, he just doesn't have that much respect. At worst, he will be taught a lesson. The Feiliu Sword Sect doesn't dare to hit him hard.
If you teach yourself a lesson, what will be the consequences? Black Mountain Sword Master will return to Lianyun League and ask the backer behind him to take action. That is the existence of a martial arts master. It is not difficult to deal with a new master.
There are differences in strength and weakness between masters and masters.
A powerful grandmaster can kill a weaker grandmaster. When faced with the oppression of the Lianyun League's grandmasters, Yijianmen must bow its head and pay a certain price.
Black Mountain Sword Master understood this, so he was confident, but he did not become arrogant because of it. Feiliu Sword Sect also understood this, so even if Black Mountain Sword Master's attitude was not so respectful to him, he could only endure it and not care about it.
.
"Wait a minute, what does Lin Qiubai look like?" Feiliu Sword Sect asked with a heartfelt look.
"White robe and two swords, about twenty years old..." Black Mountain Sword Master described his impression very clearly and accurately. Feiliu Sword Sect's expression changed unconsciously, his eyes shone with cold light, and the cold look on his face
The intention became stronger and stronger, the astonishing murderous intent and anger swept all around, and the sword intention swept across all directions, making the Black Mountain Sword Master unable to continue speaking.
It's him!
It's him!
Not only did he dare to pretend to be his disciple in an attempt to cause conflict between Yijian Sect and Lianyun League, but he also killed his own disciple.
