Chapter 659 Volume Five: The Prosperity of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, the Story of Red Jiao
There is still a hundred and fifty miles from Matougu to Dongyuan Town, and Chen Huaisheng can reach it in one day.
This road is the main road from southern Shanxi. Coming from Tianjing Road, bypassing Tongtianbo, you will reach Dongyuan Town less than ten miles away.
Dongyuan Town is actually the throat of Tianjing Road leading to Weihuai Road.
When Chen Huaisheng arrived at Dongyuan Town, it was already dark.
Dongyuan Town does not have a city like Huaiyang City, but is a market town connected by several horizontal streets and vertical alleys. There are also several villages around it, forming such a somewhat chaotic place.
It's messy, but it seems very lively and energetic.
There is only five miles to the west of Tongtianbo. Dongyuan Town is actually built near the lake. The reason why there are five miles across the lake is because the terrain here is higher.
Further west, the terrain becomes lower and flatter. Once there is a flood and Tongtianbo rises, all the flat land will be submerged. However, the current location of Dongyuan Town is on high ground and can stand on the shore.
Although Tongtianbo is vast in area, the lake is not very deep. It stands in the shape of an irregular willow leaf between Weihuai Road and Tianjing Road. Tongtianbo is only twenty miles south, which is the boundary of Hanshan Road.
The last time I came to Tongtianbo, I didn't go to Dongyuan Town, but went directly to the east. Time was tight, so I found a helper at the lakeside and went straight into the lake.
This time is different. Chen Huaisheng can look at this large market town standing at the southwest corner of Weihuai Road with peace of mind and from a fair and objective perspective.
Tongtianbo is not only in Yanzhou, but also in the whole of Hebei. It is the top place among lakes. Not only is it vast in area, but the lakes and swamps also have various shapes and varying depths. There are deep lakes in the center and surrounding lakes.
There are also some areas in Asawa that are swamps and wetlands. There are many kinds of spiritual plants in the lake, as well as many spiritual fish and spiritual beasts.
Because he knew that Dongyuan Town was actually the bridgehead for the Yuelu Sect to break into Weihuaidao, Chen Huaisheng kept a particularly low profile.
Fortunately, this is the main road from southern Shanxi. At the same time, it is at the junction of Hanshan Road and Weihuai Road. Coupled with the special nature of Tongtianbo, which is rich in products, business is extremely prosperous.
Chen Huaisheng saw the Kang's Pharmacy run by the Huaiyang Kang family here. It was located next to several other medicine shops. The business was quite good, and there was no discord just because they were colleagues.
Unlike the situation in Huaiyang City, Dongyuan Town is controlled by one sect and eight small and medium-sized clans.
The sect is the Donghe Sect, a dominant family. Of course, this dominance is limited to the area southeast of Weihuai Road. In fact, the Donghe Sect is the minions of the Yuelu Sect.
The eight powerful families are Zhong, Lu, Mu, Luo, Wu, Yu, Yuan, and Bu. Among them, the Lu and Luo families are of Yao clan descent, and the Mu and Bu families are descendants of Beirong.
Dongyuan Town and its surroundings have a population of more than 200,000. It is also the largest local area in the entire Weihuai Road and has the largest population. It mainly covers most of the Tongtianbo water area. In addition, Dongyuan Town is a business hub and is located in southern Shanxi.
Yanzhou's throat is on the ground, so there are many more people begging for food around these factors.
Chen Huaisheng didn't know much about the situation in Dongyuan Town because he couldn't take care of it at all.
First of all, Dongyuan Town was actually deeply penetrated by the Yuelu Sect. Not to mention the current Dahuaishan, even the Lingyun Sect never thought of reaching out here when Wei Huaidao first gained power.
Secondly, the situation here is also very complicated. Although the Yuelu Sect is in a dominant position, none of the eight major clans are without followers. For example, the Yuan family and the Yuan clan of the Western Tang Dynasty are from the same lineage and have a long history. Lu and Luo Er
The family has descendants of the demon clan, and the Mu and Bu families have close contacts with Beimo, and also interact with the An, Kang, and Cao families of Huaiyang City.
However, the advantage of this situation is that it is complicated but not chaotic. The Donghe Sect is in a dominant position with the support of the Yuelu Sect, but the eight major families also cooperate tacitly and negotiate with each other. In addition, the local area is rich in products, which makes this place particularly prosperous.
Prosperous.
The inn is owned by the Zhong family of the Eight Great Masters, and they chose a spiritual spring. The spiritual energy is much stronger than other places, and the stay is comfortable, but the price is much more expensive.
But Chen Huaisheng could see that many casual cultivators who came and went chose to live here. At least Chen Huaisheng saw one foundation-building casual cultivator and two high-level Qi-refining monks settling in.
The inn is equipped with a restaurant, which provides all kinds of spiritual food. The prices are also high and low, and it has strong local characteristics, that is, there are rich varieties of aquatic spiritual plants and spiritual fish.
Cold Yang Fei Peng, fried purple eggs with golden thread bean sprouts, steamed green bighead carp with bright flowers from Thai reed, and a bowl of millet porridge.
The taste was not bad, but after one meal, it tasted like Sanlingsha, which made Chen Huaisheng speechless.
You can't afford ordinary monks at all. Of course, there are cheap ones with ten or twenty spiritual stones, but they are basically vegetarian food, and they are also third-level common spiritual plants with low spiritual energy.
Wealth and Dharma couple are in the same land, with the word "wealth" at the forefront, which can be deeply reflected at this time.
Chen Huaisheng deliberately ate slowly because he wanted to take advantage of the restaurant to truly feel the charm of Dongyuan Town.
There is no reason why it is so lively.
"Even the Tianhe Sect has people coming. I don't know how lively this year's Water Saint Festival will be."
"Haha, not only the Tianhe Sect, but also people from Da Zhao and Xi Tang are coming here. Are they all here for Yin Ba?"
"People from Da Zhao and Xi Tang are also here? Which family and which family?"
"I heard that they are the Wanxiang Sect and the Huaxi Sword Sect of the Great Zhao Dynasty. There are also two or three families from the Western Tang Dynasty. The Yuan family must be here. They are in the same line as the Yuan family here. It seems that there is also the Dugu family..."
"Youzhou Ning Family and Dading Sect are also here. I saw their people just now. There are also casual cultivators and cultivators from Canghai. Who would have thought that this Water Saint Festival would attract so many people's attention. In previous years,
It’s not that lively.”
"Who allowed that red dragon to escape into Tongtian Po?" A feeble voice said: "The Yuelu Sect has been chasing after them for more than ten years. Isn't it because of this that they had a fierce battle with the Lingyun Sect?
A red-headed dragon? Who would have wanted this evil beast to escape into Tongtian Po?"
"Oh, there is something like this. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Yeah, the Red Dragon in Transformation? Why haven't you heard of it? Don't be pretentious and hurry up..."
"It's a long story..., who's going to treat me to this meal?"
"Fuck you, you guys, we all managed to get together and have fun together, why are you spoiling it?"
"This thief will cause public outrage if he continues to manipulate people here..."
"You have to have a glass of stone jelly to soothe your throat, right? Hey, I want the one brewed by the Lu family. The other ones don't taste like that..." The weak voice seemed to have seen the hope of free drinking, and his spirits improved.
Master, "Uh, wait a minute, don't rush me, I have to think about where to start..."
Chen Huaisheng felt that the people at the nearby tables were quite interested.
It can be seen that this group of people should be mainly casual cultivators from Wei Huaidao. It is also possible that there may be casual cultivators from Tianjing Road in Jinzhou or Hanshan Road over there, and they are all familiar with each other.
A brief exploration of the spiritual realm shows that the spiritual realms of these people are complex and vary from high to low.
The tall, thin man who said nothing should be at the peak of foundation building. The other short, fat man with a smile on his face, who just listened without speaking, should also be around the fifth level of foundation building.
It's as low as those guys who are shouting at each other. From the fifth level to the eighth level of Qi training, they are all shouting at each other.
This group of about ten people was divided into three tables, but they all knew each other, at least they all knew each other, so they didn't have so many scruples when talking.
"Here comes the wine!"
When the bartender brought three pots of frozen spring, the sick-looking old man, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, poured himself a cup, took a big sip, smacked his lips, raised his head and said, "This red dragon
The story is a long one, and everyone knows that there are two possibilities for the origin of the red dragon, one is the transformation of the dragon egg, the other is the transformation of the red dragon..."
There was silence in the hall.
Although the casual cultivators present are at least in the middle stage of Qi Refining, they don’t know much about the changes in the origin of this strange beast. In their opinion, shouldn’t this red dragon be born from a male and female dragon?
?
At first glance, except for one or two people in the crowd whose expressions remained unchanged, most of the others looked puzzled and full of expectations. The sickly old man was even more proud: "Haha, don't you understand?"
"Okay, stop being pretentious and say it quickly! Isn't three bottles of wine enough for you to moisten your throat?" A red-faced old man at the ninth level of Qi Refining said angrily: "You guys are not alien cultivators, how can you have so many thoughts all day long?
To think about those things?"
"Yes, you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you haven't heard about it. The Chonghua sect was attacked by red dragons and killed many people in Fuyang the year before last. I heard that the Chonghua sect was seriously injured because of this. Prepare to
He has moved south and returned to Da Zhao."
"Ah, you don't even want Wolong Ridge? Didn't you get the advantage of the Youzhou Ning Family and Fengyi Sect in vain? And the Yuelu Sect should also breathe a sigh of relief? It has only been a few years since the Chonghua Sect moved from Da Zhao.
You’re not even a year old, right? You’ve even annexed the Lingyun Sect, so why did you go back to Da Zhao in despair after being tortured by the monster?”
"Then our Yanzhou will be in chaos for a while. Once the Chonghua sect leaves, Fuyang and Weihuai will be in chaos. Not to mention there are monsters causing trouble. Just a few of these internal
You have to think differently..."
"Don't think about it. It would be nothing if it was normal. Now that the monsters are so powerful, who would have thought about the precarious days like the winter before last. If the Chonghua sect in Fuyang didn't attract the monsters in Wolong Ridge, maybe
Those monsters rushed to Wei Huaidao's side, and I don't know whether you and I can still drink and eat meat here."
"Hey, if those third- and fourth-level monsters really come, and we don't have a home or room, we can just throw up our legs and run away. If the Hanshan Road is not good, we can cross the river to Weijun and Sijun,..."
