On a sunny morning, Tieyu finally said goodbye to his parents and began his journey accompanied by two martial arts masters.
Since this was the first time for Tieyu to go out, the two martial arts masters first briefly introduced the situation of the world: Now the world is composed of several connected continents, which are roughly divided into four continents and more than 60 countries. The four continents are the Divine Continent.
, Fangzhou, Xizhou and Yangzhou, among which Shenzhou is the largest, accounting for about one-half of all continents; Yangzhou is the smallest, with an area of only one-tenth of all continents; the other two continents are about the same size.
The place where they are now is Shenzhou, which is composed of six large countries and eighteen small countries. Among the six large countries, Chu State in the south is the largest, and Qi State in the northeast is the smallest. Their own country, Tang State, is the third largest country.
In the southeast of the Divine Continent, the second largest country is Qin in the northwest. The other three large countries are Zhao, Wei and South Korea, all in the center of the Divine Continent. The eighteen small countries are all vassals, and they are vassal states to those big countries.
They pay tribute every year and come to court every year. And the direction they are heading now is towards Qingzhou in the west of the Tang Dynasty.
This time he went out without Qin Wan's company. Tieyu felt depressed all the time, so he was listless along the way. He didn't pay much attention to what the two martial artists said, and he didn't appreciate the scenery along the way, as if he was bored.
The two martial arts masters also knew that he was not very happy and did not bother to talk to him. They only carefully protected him and prevented him from being harmed.
This time when he went out, Tie Mingyuan also wanted to let Tie Yu exercise, so he only gave him a space ring, which contained only a few hundred taels of broken silver. After Tie Mingyuan taught him how to use the ring, he only let him
I brought some clothes with me, but nothing else. This ring is just a very common space ring in the world of cultivation, but it is rare in the mortal world now. Tie Mingyuan also spent a lot of money to get it from others.
I bought it from here and gave it to him just for the convenience of traveling.
On this day, while walking to the border of Qingzhou, there was a sudden noise on the road ahead. When I got closer, it turned out that there was a dispute between two people in front of a small stall. A young man in ragged clothes was guarding a stall.
Chapped wood, "I won't sell it, I won't sell it, I won't sell it if it's less than ten taels..."
Another man who looked like a scholar laughed and scolded, "Haha, you can grab the ten taels! I just thought that the wood was quite heavy and hard, and it would be good for making paperweights, so I wanted to spend a little money to buy it, but I didn't expect it.
You are asking for ten taels of silver, are you crazy about money? You are really disrespectful. This wood is already cracked, what other use can it be used for, at most it can be used to make fire..." The crowd suddenly heard
A burst of laughter.
By the time Tieyu and the others passed by, there were not many people gathered here anymore. People laughed at the man holding the wood as being mentally ill and poor. But when Tieyu saw the dead wood, he was inexplicable.
He felt a sense of intimacy, just like a friend he had known hundreds of years ago, and asked Qin Baichuan to buy the piece of wood. Qin Baichuan looked at Tieyu in disbelief, and touched his forehead with one hand.
The puzzled look in his eyes made it clear that he was thinking, "That man is sick, but there is nothing wrong with you. What's the use of buying this dead wood?"
"Don't ask why, you just need to ask about the origin of this piece of wood!" Tie Yu said without any doubt.
When Qin Baichuan heard what he said, he felt that there must be something fishy in it. Without asking any more questions, he just took out ten taels of silver and put it in front of the man, "As long as you tell me the origin of this piece of wood, I will use these ten taels of silver."
Buy this log."
"Oh! My ancestors got this from a geomantic treasure land. Originally it couldn't be burned by fire or broken by a knife. I don't know what kind of wood it is. It just feels very heavy. I think it might be a treasure. But lately
I don’t know why, but it suddenly became chapped!” The man replied, and then he took the money and walked away like a storm, as if he was afraid that they would regret it.
At this time, Qin Baichuan also returned to Tieyu with the piece of wood. Tieyu observed the piece of wood carefully. He couldn't feel anything special for a while, but why did he feel so familiar and kind to it?
How does it feel? He recalled it carefully and found that he didn’t even have the slightest impression of this kind of wood in his previous life. What was going on? He couldn’t understand this, but since he had already bought it, he also
Not wanting to throw it away casually, I put it away carefully and then set out on the road with the two martial artists.
