Wearing a green shirt, we walked through the Lanfang Kingdom and traveled north.
The Orchid Fang Country is rich in precious orchids. As a country that spends a lot of money, and the family is rich and small, they almost only care about how many expensive orchids there are.
Other than that, there is nothing special, but there are some customs that make people remember it deeply. For example, women like to throw money into the river to ask for good or bad luck. People in the country, no matter rich or poor, all like to release animals. It is popular in the government and the public, but it is only in the upper reaches.
Scenes of pious release of animals and fishing and catching turtles in the lower reaches often occur. There are also boat trackers, young and old women, all topless, letting the sun scorch their backs, and the marks of strangulation are like ravines in dry fields. There are also encounters in various places.
During droughts and floods, people like to tie up paper Dragon King and parade around the streets, but instead of praying to the Dragon King for rain or taking shelter from the rain, they keep beating the Paper Dragon King until it breaks into pieces.
To the north of the Lanfang Kingdom is the Qingci Kingdom. The monarchs and ministers advocate Taoism, and there are many Taoist temples. Buddhism is suppressed vigorously. The temples that are occasionally seen are not popular.
Further north, there is the Jinfei Kingdom, a southern vassal of the Da Zhuan Dynasty. The martial culture is extremely strong. Fights in the streets can be seen almost everywhere, and often bloody. There are many young and strong men from wealthy families who like to use their bows and swords to form groups and plot.
Horses travel far away, and eagles hunt with prostitutes in all directions, as if there is no one around. The monarch of Jinfei Kingdom himself was born in the battlefield. He belongs to the dragon chair that he usurped the throne and ascended to the throne. He worshiped martial arts and suppressed literature. In the temple, there were often high-ranking officials who returned to the court with bruises and swollen faces.
Recuperate at home.
Things that are unimaginable elsewhere are also commonplace in the eyes of the people of Jinfei Kingdom. The great scholar was sprayed with spittle, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites was full of sage doctrines that could not be explained by the general's big fist. They were just conversation topics after dinner.
Along the way, we encountered drizzle on the cliff plank road. The rain curtain was like a curtain, and the sound of rain was like the sound of bells in the breeze.
A woodcutter in the mountains came across an orchid in the mountains. It was dancing and seemed crazy.
Insects chirped late at night, the moonlight was like water washing green clothes, and beside the bonfire in the mountains, the firelight flickered.
The rainy season is about to enter.
On this day, Chen Pingan was walking slowly in the mountains outside a Jinfei Kingdom county. Tigers were infested here, so the chivalrous and powerful children of Jinfei Kingdom often came here to hunt. Chen Pingan had seen several groups of safaris armed with swords and bows along the way.
People came and went like a breeze, and most of them were young men. Many of them were young women, with heroic looks and proficient bows and horses. The older attendants who were accompanying them all looked like they were warriors on the battlefield.
A few days ago, Chen Ping'an saw with his own eyes a group of disciples from the capital of the Golden Fei Kingdom. They gathered in a mountain temple to drink heavily and left random "calligraphy treasures" on the walls of the temple. One of them, a tall young man, directly carried the painted wood carving.
He walked out of the temple gate, threw the statue out, and shouted that he wanted to compare his strength with the mountain god. The mountain god and the earth god were hiding quietly in the distance of the temple, and they were speechless and sighed.
At dusk, Chen Pingan did not enter the county town, but stayed away from the official road, climbed over the mountains and ridges, and walked roughly along a mountain path. Occasionally, he could see some figures, most of them with strong figures, wearing green shirts in the mountains and forests.
Like a wisp of blue smoke passing by, after nightfall, the pedestrians on the path still did not hold up their candles. Late at night, Chen Ping'an suddenly stopped and stood on a towering tree. Looking up into the distance, he saw a huge lonely mountain surrounded by cliffs.
On the top of the peak, the lights are brightly lit and the houses are densely packed. Only an iron cable plank bridge connected to the mountain at the foot of Chen Ping'an can go to the "town" on the top of the mountain. The mountain breeze blows at night, and the whole bridge will slightly
rock.
It looks like a powerful Jianghu sect. Because the spiritual energy in the area is weak, it is only slightly better than the border line of Yinping Kingdom and Huaihuang Kingdom. It is not a feng shui treasure place suitable for Qi practitioners to practice.
Chen Ping'an was sitting on a branch, chewing a piece of dry biscuit. The sword gourd had already been filled with more than ten kilograms of Lanfangguo wine. He didn't drink much along the way, but there was quite a lot left.
Chen Ping'an began to close his eyes and rest his mind. Even if it was a small refinement, the two dragon-slaying platforms were still making slow progress. They were still not fully refined along the way.
Unknowingly, the lights on the top of the mountain opposite gradually went out, and eventually there were only a few bright lights.
At dawn, Chen Ping'an opened his eyes, pasted on himself a carrying tablet talisman he had learned from Du Yu in Ghost Ax Palace, and continued his practice.
On the way to the north, you can stop and go as you please. You only need to arrive at the Green Orioles Kingdom in the east of Beiju Luzhou before autumn. The Green Orioles Kingdom is the mouth of the Dadu River. The terrain in the middle of Beiju Luzhou is
The center is towering, and the east and west directions are constantly tilting towards the sea. The north is even higher. The entire Beiju Luzhou, from the Bone Beach to the north, the general geographical situation, rises like steps in sequence. The source of Dadu is in the north, and there are more than a dozen huge water channels.
The rivers merge into the Dadu river bed, creating a rare wonder in which Dadu has two estuaries.
After Chen Pingan thoroughly refined the two pieces of the Dragon Slaying Platform, he transformed them into emptiness and placed them in two acupoints where "a very small wisp of sword energy" once lingered, and Feijian settled in them respectively on the first and fifteenth day.
Every time the flying sword hits the dragon-slaying platform, and the sparks caused by sharpening the edge of the sword fly, Chen Ping'an's heart feels like a knife. This is also the fundamental reason why this journey is not fast. Chen Ping'an's small refining speed is comparable to that of the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
The speed of "eating" the Dragon-Slaying Platform is the same. Waiting until they finish eating the Dragon-Slaying Platform is the first step. The next step is to refine the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month into their natal objects. The process is destined to be dangerous and difficult.
But this feeling of returning to the down-and-out Mangosteen House to punch people made Chen Pingan feel particularly at ease.
On the bridge, I remembered the rumbling sound of dung trucks. A large vegetable garden was opened up in the mountains on this side of the bridge. Then there was a group of people going to carry water from the distant mountain stream. There were children following them, jumping around and holding water in their hands.
A small gesticulating bucket swayed. In the small town on the top of the mountain, the shouts of warriors practicing fists, stakes, swords and guns were immediately heard.
Living in the mountains, and not being a Taoist monk, is a bit troublesome. Those who returned to the mountain town one after another in the middle of the night were mostly packed with people, and during the period, some people were holding mules and horses carrying heavy objects.
, cross the bridge and return home.
Chen Ping'an planned to stay here for another two days, trying to use the immortal formula derived from the inscription on praying for rain in Biyou Palace to thoroughly practice the two dragon-slaying platforms, and then set off on his way.
Including the Jinfei Kingdom, there were more than ten countries north of Chunlu Pu, headed by the Da Zhuan Dynasty. Their martial arts were at their peak, and warriors were rampant, to the point where hundreds of warriors would join forces to besiege the Immortal Gate on the mountain.
In the vast territory, there is only one Nascent Soul in the Golden Scale Palace, and it can barely avoid disasters. However, the disciples in the sect still need to be careful when going down the mountain to practice.
When Chen Ping'an first heard about this in Chunlu Pond, he thought it was unbelievable. However, when he heard that one of the four ten-level warriors in Luzhou, Beiju, was from the Great Seal Dynasty, he understood a little bit.
Beiju Luzhou now has four Jiji warriors. The eldest one was originally a highly respected strong man under the mountain. He was close friends with several sword immortals on the mountain. For some reason, he became obsessed a few years ago and was captured by several monks in the fifth realm.
It took a lot of effort to detain him. After all, they couldn't let go and fight, lest they accidentally hurt the old martial artist's life. As a result, the old martial artist also seriously injured a Jade Pu Realm Taoist Immortal and was temporarily detained.
He was imprisoned in Tianjun Mansion, waiting for Tianjun Xie Shi to issue a decree after returning from Aquarius Continent.
The youngest one, just over 100 years old, is the chief priest of a sect's family in the north, and his wife is a female swordsman who has just entered the Yupu realm. In fact, there is a huge age gap between the two parties. The fact that they can come together is also the highlight of the story.
many.
Then there is an outsider from the Great Seal Dynasty named Gu Yun Yehe. For decades, the dragon has not seen its head or tail. There are different opinions. Some say that he is dead. He died in a life-and-death fight with an old enemy, the Great Sword Immortal. It was just the Great Seal Dynasty that covered it up.
Well, some people say that they went to the Camellia Cave, trying to go against the grain and temper their bodies with spiritual energy, just like when they were young and beat the tide on the beach to strengthen their bodies, and then meet the Great Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain who had just broken through before Jiazi.
A fight.
The latest one has a strange origin and has only a few strikes. Every time he strikes, almost no one will die under his punch. However, the Ancestral Hall that demolished two mountains is the mansion of the Immortal Family where Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator is stationed, so Bei Ju Lu
Only Zhou Shanshui Di Bao dared to assert that this person was another newly-rising martial artist. It was said that this person had some relationship with Lion Peak. His name should be a pseudonym, Li Er.
There is another eight-level martial artist in the Dazhuan Dynasty who is relatively easy to see. She is a female grand master and a swordsman. She is now the personal retinue of Emperor Zhou of the Dazhuan Dynasty. However, this person’s future is not promising. He is already at the end of his career after reaching the Far Traveling Realm.
, this life is destined to be hopeless at the top of the mountain.
In short, here, martial arts warriors have the loudest voices and the hardest fists.
Chen Ping'an is really confused about the golden body warriors outside Luopo Mountain.
The Green Bamboo Sword Immortal Su Lang was the first one who wanted to ask Senior Song for swordsmanship.
The Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace was the second one to sneak attack and punch him.
On the ferry, the retinue surnamed Liao was the third one beside Wei Bai, the young master of Tiemou Mansion.
Chen Ping'an actually wanted to find a far-traveling warrior to spar with him. Unfortunately, Gao Cheng's clone on the ferry should be an eighth-level martial artist. However, the old swordsman with extremely impressive momentum wiped his neck with his sword. Before his head fell to the ground,
The sentence "Three Pima Sect Yupu realms are not worthy of this achievement" is actually considered heroic.
Previously on a lake in Jinfei Kingdom, Chen Ping'an rented a small boat for fishing at night and watched a bloody fight from a distance.
It seemed to be a premeditated siege. First, an internal strife broke out on a boat parked in the middle of the lake. Dozens of people were divided into two factions with different weapons. Among them, more than ten were Jianghu people who could be regarded as the top masters of the Golden Fei Kingdom.
They were warriors from the fifth and sixth realms. The two sides fought so hard that their arms and heads were flying. Then seven or eight large-scale warships from the Jin Fei Kingdom appeared. They hung high lights and the light on the lake was as bright as day. They surrounded the earliest large-scale warship. First, dozens of them
With the intensive firing of wheel-strength crossbows and strong bows, after the warriors from both sides of the fighting laid down more than a dozen corpses, and the remaining people hid in the cabin to escape, the military ship hit the ship hard with its racket. During this period, there were Jianghu who were injured.
The master tried to break out of the siege, unwilling to sit back and wait for death. As soon as he escaped from the building, he was either forced back by a hail of bows and arrows, or was killed on the spot by an old eunuch wearing a python suit, or by a young female swordsman.
Using sword energy to cut off the enemy, there was a burly general wearing nectar armor standing at the bottom of the building, holding an iron spear, but did not take action at first.
Some martial arts masters who pretended to be injured and fell into the lake, and then tried to escape by holding their breath and diving, could not escape the disaster. There must have been monsters waiting for opportunities under the water. Several martial arts masters were forced out of the water, and then were taken out by the burly military commander.
A strong bow was used to shoot them one by one. Without exception, they were all shot through the head.
After the Jin Fei Kingdom's military warship approached, Chen Ping'an quietly sailed away in a small boat.
The last scene left a deep impression on Chen Pingan.
The female swordsman stood on the bow of the boat and kept drawing out her sword. Whether it was a corpse floating on the water or an injured person who fell into the lake, she stabbed them away with her sword and filled them with a wisp of fierce sword energy.
It is estimated that not many of the boats in the center of the lake will survive in the end.
Those who survived were most likely internal agents of the imperial court.
Chen Ping'an finally saw three people walking onto the top floor of the warship and saluting the burly general wearing nectar armor with clasped fists.
Chen Pingan closed his eyes and continued practicing on the Dragon Slaying Platform.
When you really get involved in spiritual practice, you will find that the most worthless and most valuable things are time and years.
As for the Jianghu incident, Chen Pingan had no intention of taking action from the beginning to the end.
In the night, Chen Pingan breathed out a sigh of relief and looked up. A pair of young men and women appeared on the bridge. The woman was a pure martial artist with good foundation. She was about three realms. The man had an elegant appearance, more like a
A Confucian scholar who is full of poetry and books cannot be regarded as a true pure martial artist. The woman stood on the swaying iron rope and walked slowly. The young but slightly older man was worried. When they reached the bridge, the woman jumped down gently and was held by the man's hand.
To be continued...
