No one likes to be homeless, and neither does Du Feiyun. Like most people, he also hopes to live a comfortable life in peace.
However, since the entanglement of grudges has occurred and the hatred has been forged, the only way to resolve it is for one of the parties to die completely.
Even though he was weak at this time and the opponent was strong and outnumbered, he never thought that he would be the first to fall. This had nothing to do with self-confidence or arrogance, but the belief in survival.
Most of the terrain within the Baichuan Territory is extremely rugged and rugged, surrounded by mountains, surrounded by hundreds of rivers, thousands of rivers competing for their currents, and countless famous mountains and swamps. Therefore, the territory of each city within the Baichuan Territory is extremely vast, and among the cities
They are far apart and require trekking over mountains and rivers.
Towering mountain peaks stand all around, and layers of white clouds drift across the mountains. Occasionally, a wave of drizzle will fall, dampening the winding road at the foot of the mountain.
The path less than one foot wide is close to the foot of the mountain, with a mountain wall on one side and a rolling river on the other. The road surface has many potholes and is slightly muddy, so it is a bit bumpy for the carriage to walk along it.
Although he is always on guard against Qin Shounan's revenge attack, Du Feiyun is not so afraid that he has to cross mountains and ridges to choose inaccessible places. On the one hand, it is to speed up the journey, and on the other hand, it is also to take care of his frail mother and sister.
, so he chose to rent a carriage from the carriage shop in Qianjiang City to travel.
Last night, he thought carefully for a long time and finally made up his mind. He decided to follow Xue Rang's wishes and go to Liuyun City with the jade token to find Xue Bing in Liuyun Sect.
If he can really become a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, his mother and sister will have life protection and no longer have to wander around with him. They will have a place to live and settle down. Moreover, he will also be able to further understand and get in touch with the way of cultivation, which will be of great benefit to his cultivation.
He had no reason to reject Xue Rang's proposal, especially since this proposal could effectively solve the current problem and kill two birds with one stone.
The carriage was covered with a thick velvet blanket. Du Wanqing held Du Shi and sat down against the carriage. The two were chatting in a low voice. The sound was so low that it was completely muffled by the creaking of the ruts. It seemed that they were afraid of being disturbed.
Du Feiyun practices.
In fact, although Du Feiyun was sitting cross-legged in the car with his eyes closed at this time, he was not practicing at all. Instead, he was sorting out all the events of the past few days in his mind.
He is usually taciturn and somewhat dull. This is not because he is stupid or dull. It is because he has the experience and mind of two lifetimes. He has seen too many things and does not want to waste more words.
Many times, action is the most persuasive language. Therefore, more often than not, he chooses to do rather than say.
Life will always experience different things at different stages, and then make different summaries and conclusions, resulting in different perceptions.
The same goes for Du Feiyun, who is summarizing everything that happened during this period in his mind.
When Du was ten months pregnant, she was poisoned with Xuanyin poison, intending to torture her to death. Du Feiyun remembered this in his heart the moment he learned about it from Xue Rang.
It turns out that Du Feiyun died when he was four years old, and then he came here from another world, had this body, and started another life. Du Feiyun's death, his mediocre natural aptitude, and the chaos of his meridians all
It is related to the Xuanyin poison in Du's body.
If there had not been a murderer who deliberately poisoned her, Du would not have been so miserable, with a weak constitution, no meridians, and a short lifespan. Du Feiyun would not have died young, let alone become an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications.
All of this was thanks to the person who secretly poisoned him. Therefore, Du Feiyun had already made up his mind to find out the murderer in this life.
Although he did not originally belong to this world, and he did not feel close to Du Shi and Du Wanqing at first. However, people all have feelings. He once saw Du Shi kneeling in the ice and snow late at night just for him.
Ask him to practice the exercises. Many times when he was weak due to colds, Du Shi dragged his sick body late at night to cook medicine and porridge for him, and tucked him in with the quilt.
Many times, Du Wanqing, still wearing braids, carried him on her back to collect herbs in Langshi Mountain. Occasionally, she fell into the river. Regardless of the cold water, Du Wanqing jumped into the river to rescue him. However, she fell into a cold and passed out for several days.
sky.
There are too many past events, too many deep family ties that cannot be expressed...
In the past ten years, there have been too many bitter memories, too many difficult memories, and of course, there are also touches and sweetness. Du Feiyun also has feelings. Ten years have made him integrate into this world and into this family, becoming an indispensable person.
The missing piece.
He is Du Feiyun, Du's son and Du Wanqing's brother. He only has these two relatives, and all his efforts in this life will be to let them live a safe and comfortable life.
Even if he is not aiming for immortality or an unattainable goal like becoming an immortal, he still has to work hard to improve his strength and become a strong monk. Only in this way can he protect the safety of his loved ones from harm and give them a stable and comfortable life.
Of course, he also treasured the purple ring that his mother had kept close to her. He could imagine that this purple ring must be inextricably related to his cheap father whom he had never met.
If given the chance, he would look for the man who abandoned his wife and children, not for recognition, rebuke or revenge, but just to fulfill his mother Du's wish. Because he knew that his mother had a deep knot in her heart.
, countless times when I dreamed about it at midnight, I would still chant that man’s name.
In short... there are too many things waiting for Du Feiyun to do, and too many goals waiting for him to achieve.
He needs to improve his strength and become stronger before all this is possible.
Another burst of heavy rain fell from the clouds, splashing on the roof of the carriage, making a crackling sound. Du Feiyun slowly opened his eyes, and the thoughtful look in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a look of determination.
…………
People who have never ridden in a carriage will probably never understand how painful it is, especially if it is a long-term ride.
A month later, the carriage finally drove slowly to a majestic city. When he came to a tall and simple city gate, Du Feiyun couldn't help but jump off the carriage and stretch his waist and move his hands and feet.
Not far in front of you is the city gate of Liuyun City. Under the three-foot-high city wall is a wide moat with a suspension bridge on the river leading to the tall city gate.
Compared with Qianjiang City, Liuyun City looks more majestic and majestic. The city walls stretch for more than thirty miles and are built of huge bluestones. They are covered with mottled traces of wind and rain etching, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
In front of the city gate, there was a huge crowd. Pedestrians, either in small groups or pushing carts, walked to the gate in an orderly manner and were inspected by the gate guards.
The name of Liuyun City naturally comes from the Liuyun Sect, a monk sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Most of the residents in the city, whether they are merchants, celebrities or city guards, have a close relationship with the Liuyun Sect.
Following the surging crowd and arriving at the city gate, two guards in black clothes and soft armor immediately blocked the way and inspected the carriage. Du Feiyun's eyes fell on the two guards in black and looked at them carefully.
, then looked at the other twenty or so guards under the city gate, and found that they were all accomplished monks.
Among these black-clothed guards, the ones with the lowest strength have reached the seventh level of body refining, and the leader has even reached the Qi refining stage. Moreover, the black clothes on their chests are embroidered with a circular pattern, depicting a white cloud and
A shield.
Seeing such a situation, Du Feiyun thought for a moment, and it was not difficult to guess that these guards in black were probably disciples of the Liuyun Sect.
"To enter Liuyun City, you need to pay an entrance fee and a low-grade spiritual stone." While Du Feiyun was thinking about it, the two guards in black had finished the inspection and said to Du Feiyun.
"A low-grade spirit stone?" Du Feiyun was stunned for a moment. He did not have such a thing as spirit stones. He had always used silver as currency. He did not expect that in Liuyun City, spirit stones were actually used as currency.
From this point of view, Liuyun City is indeed a gathering place for monks. Compared with small cities like Qianjiang City, it is naturally much more advanced.
"I don't have a spiritual stone, can I exchange it with silver?"
"One hundred taels of silver!" Upon hearing Du Feiyun's words, the guard in black frowned slightly, but did not show any expression and said without hesitation.
It would be nice if it could be converted into silver. Du Feiyun felt relieved now. If the other party insisted on asking him to pay the spirit stones, he really had nothing to do at this moment.
After paying one hundred taels of silver, Du Feiyun finally gained the qualification to enter Liuyun City. Then he got on the carriage and headed all the way to the city.
After this incident, he gradually understood that Liuyun City was under the jurisdiction of Liuyun Sect, and there were many monks in the city. In the future, he would come into contact with more monks and understand their situation.
The value of a low-grade spiritual stone is basically equal to one hundred taels of silver, and one hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. It can be seen that this spiritual stone is naturally very precious, and its importance to the monks is also obvious.
In this world, poor and humble people will probably never have the opportunity to practice cultivation. After all, in the world of monks, everything is extremely precious. The poor cannot afford any medicinal materials or heavenly and earthly treasures, exercises or spiritual stones.
, naturally there is no chance for cultivation.
Only those from wealthy families and monk sects have enough financial resources to support the monks' cultivation.
Holding the savings of less than a thousand taels in his wallet, Du Feiyun frowned slightly, thinking to himself that the problem he will face in the future will be more serious, that is, financial resources. When he embarks on the path of cultivation, he will need more resources to support his cultivation.
, Otherwise, there is no way to improve your strength, and you will only lose everyone.
After entering Liuyun City, Du Feiyun found an inn and settled down, letting his mother and sister stay in the inn to rest while he went out to inquire about the news.
Du Feiyun had already learned from Xue Rang that Liuyun Sect would open the mountain gate to recruit disciples every ten years for a period of one month. But now, it is nearing the end of recruiting disciples, and it will end in a few days.
Therefore, Du Feiyun had to rush to inquire about Liuyun Sect's recruitment of disciples, so as to make preparations as soon as possible.
