Because of this, there are many specialties in Hongjin City that cannot be seen in other places. For example, the kind of brocade that Huwa saw can only be produced in Domu Village. On the other hand, due to the residence of various demon clans,
The local conditions are different, and the talents and abilities are also different. They can always find or use things that are difficult for ordinary people to see, and among them may be the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that monks need.
This is a plateau area close to the wilderness, and the living environment is even worse than other parts of Bayuan. Because it has been said since ancient times that the depths of the Southern Wilderness beyond Wufu Hill are haunted by evil spirits, and there are always many monks who cross Wufu Hill and go deep into the south.
In the wild trial, he claimed that if he encounters an evil spirit, he will easily slay the evil spirit.
When many monks in Bayuan go out to travel in the mountains, they often go to the Hongjincheng area to look for some special products. On the other hand, they also go into the mountains and fields to practice hard. The mountains and fields under the jurisdiction of Hongjincheng are so vast that they may even be connected to the city.
The master couldn't even tell how big the scope was. In the not-so-dangerous mountains, there were many other sects, large and small, gathering a group of self-proclaimed ascetics.
This is what Huwa learned from talking to the village residents he met along the way. Huwa felt a little funny when he heard the word "pension". Although the life in Hongjincheng is better than the prosperous city in Bayuan,
It's going to be hard, but it's not a hard life. Have those people ever seen the real deep barbaric wilderness?
But then I thought about it, the monks in this world sharpen their minds in a difficult environment, and their purpose is not to become a barbarian. The monsters in the Hongjincheng area live together, and there are many special products. There may be real monsters in the wild mountains.
You can find elixirs and heavenly materials and treasures that are not available elsewhere, so it is not surprising that monks often come here to visit.
In addition to Wufu Qiu, there are more than a dozen practicing sects of various sizes in this area, and there are even more monks traveling around. Huwa's passing here did not surprise the residents of the villages along the way.
We saw a lot of people of all kinds, including not only those with dogs, but also those with various birds and animals.
Judging from the appearance of Huwa, carrying a bag and a dog, he was walking through the mountains alone, without even a bow and arrow weapon. He was obviously an experienced monk. But he was too young, so many villagers called him Xiao
Mr. Huwa has become accustomed to hearing this very familiar name. It is estimated that the villagers have called the young monks passing by this way.
When he turned out of the path between the mountain villages and entered the road that can drive horses and horses to Hongjin City, he met more people along the way. Most of the people coming towards him were caravans, taking advantage of the winter break, from
Hongjincheng is transporting cartloads of specialty goods to Bayuan. Many of those walking in the same direction are monks like Huwa. There are fewer solitary travelers and most of them come from the same sect in groups of three or five.
When these people meet on the way or at the inn, they will greet each other and tell themselves where they are, where and what sect they are from, what is their name, and who is their master? Many people actually come from very different places.
In distant places, there are people from various countries in Bayuan. Disciples of large sects are often envied by others, but Huwa claims to be a casual cultivator from the borderlands of Xiangshi Kingdom, so he does not attract attention.
It took Huwa about a month from the time he left the mission led by the Beidao clan until he entered Hongjin City. According to him, more than three months had passed since he left the Pengshan forbidden area. Gongzheng Shrike once used his spiritual mind to
There was a map left in his soul, which pointed to the main road from the border of Bashi Kingdom to Wufuqiu. But Huwa also made many circles in the mountains and wilderness.
If we calculate it, if we drive a carriage on the road without delaying a day, it will take about two months to return to Bashi Kingdom along the shortest road from Wufuqiu. If you are a highly skilled person and take a shortcut through the mountains, the time
It was even shorter. Huwa climbed onto Wufu Hill to find the young minister and relay the news, and the young minister had no time to rush back on time.
But the key point is, how did he climb onto Wufu Hill? Hou Lin told him not to reveal his identity and purpose, let alone the identity of Shaowu, so he could only do it in private.
Huwa wandered around the market in Hongjincheng for several days and saw all kinds of strange things. He also met tribesmen from Domu Village who came here to sell brocades. The brocades from Domu Village were obviously very popular and there was a special caravan.
As for the acquisition, since they had just met not long ago, these tribesmen even smiled and said hello to Huwa and chatted for a few words. Even the businessmen who were making transactions did not know that they were dealing with the demon tribe.
It is not easy to spot the Duomu people, but there are many people in the market who have very unique descriptions, and you can tell at a glance that they are from the demon tribe. They are selling specialties from their villages, and they often name what they want in exchange.
.Some people who have just arrived here are curious and point out and comment from a distance, but most of the locals are no longer surprised.
Huwa couldn't help but think of his distant hometown of Shanshui City. The Jiaorong people who were born with two horns were also seen in the market of Shanshui City. People were surprised when they saw them at first, but then they got used to it.
Huwa was not a very good customer, because he walked around the market for several days without buying even a single thing. It was fine not to buy, but he still observed every item he saw.
He is very careful and always likes to find out what it is, where it is produced, what it is used for, what it is made of, how it is processed, etc.
Huwa also did this in the market of Feihong City, and was very unpopular with the vendors there. But it was different in Hongjincheng, whether it was shops specializing in selling goods or stalls selling products from their respective villages.
The villagers were very polite and patient with Huwa. They tried their best to explain and answer various questions in detail. It didn't matter whether they wanted to buy things or not. They seemed to be happy to talk to people and introduce them.
It can be seen that the folk customs here are simpler than most of the city walls in Ba Yuan, and the people are also very hospitable. But on the other hand, I am afraid these traders also know that most of the strangers who come here are monks from various sects, and there is no need to offend them easily.
, and there is no need to look down on others for no reason.
In fact, there are many things here that interest Huwa, which is why he observes and inquires about them in detail, but if he is interested, he does not necessarily have to buy them and take them away. Huwa still has a long way to go, because his cultivation is shallow.
His beast-tooth artifact could only take things out but could not put them back, so there were more and more things in the package along the way.
Taking inventory of the items in the linen package behind him, there are now bamboo tubes containing nine short arrows; a stick-shaped short bow; a golden flower magic weapon the size of a fingertip;
Silver horn; a bottle of Bi Zhendan obtained from Baixi Village; seven treasure vials taken from the Pengshan Forbidden Area, which contained various elixirs that can replenish vitality; a piece that I wanted to give to Tian Xiao but did not
Send the gold; the tokens of the state workers of Xiangshi and Bashi and the tokens of Chiwangqiu Xingsha; a set of water cloth single clothes; a pair of shoes.
Those shoes were replaced on the way. Granny Shui made them with her own hands, but they were a little too small now, but Huwa didn't want to throw them away. The shoes were very durable after magic treatment, not broken, and they were very comfortable to wear. He put them away
After washing it and putting it away, I took out another pair of slightly larger shoes from the beast's tooth artifact and put them on again. The same was true for the set of water cloth singles.
Children aged fourteen or five are at the time when their bodies are growing. This year, the tiger boy has become much taller and stronger. As for the fox fur he took out last winter, and the ones he bought at the market
The felt robe, which is already relatively loose, can be worn again this year, and it looks more fitting.
Hou Lin's personal token was his precious stone egg, which he carried close to his body in his arms. He got the long magic weapon from Baixi Village and tied it around his waist as a belt.
Although Huwa does not want to buy anything, he is probably the richest person in this market, like a moving treasure house. Huwa is very clear about everything he carries. If he is on this road,
He wants to take away any good thing he sees, but in the end it will be impossible for him to carry it.
Wufuqiu is just outside Hongjin City. Many people come here because of the name of Wufuqiu, so there is also a special thing sold in the market here, which is a variety of swords. Huwa saw red copper or fine swords.
Treasure swords made of steel are often hung in the largest shops as store treasures. The price is too expensive for ordinary people to accept, and there are even magic weapons among them.
It is very rare to be able to buy magical artifacts in the shops in the market. The customers who often visit such shops are certainly unusual. They are either rich or noble.
You can also see stone or wooden swords made by people in small shops and even on street stalls. Most of them are just toys or decorations. Some people come here to buy one and take it back as a souvenir. Some of them look like jade daggers.
It is made very small, only as long as a finger, and is very suitable for carrying around. This kind of thing is probably the most distinctive thing of the local area.
Huwa didn't buy it, he just looked around, but almost all of his companions bought a sword, with different materials, different sizes, and different values. Huwa came alone, how could he have companions?—
—We met at the inn.
Generally, there are post stations in large villages and city walls. They are not military posts, but are used for pedestrians and merchants to rest. The post station is a large courtyard with several empty houses. The interior of the house is paved with wooden boards and thatch along the corners to make it simple.
Spend the night. The first time Huwa saw the inn was in Shuangliu Village in Feihong City, where he also met Lingbao.
Of course there are inns in Hongjin City, and there are more than one, which can accommodate many people, but it is far from enough. At different times every year, caravans pouring into this place, traveling monks from various sects, and young people with dreams
There are so many that there is often no room for them in the inn.
Moreover, monks from all over the world are often richer or more noble than ordinary people. They do not like the noisy and chaotic environment in the inn, which is also very inconvenient, especially for some female monks. If the monks from various sects find the city
The engineer master of Kuo requested to arrange food and lodging, but Cheng Kuo could not accommodate him. Therefore, except for national workers working together with the city, Cheng Kuo would not accept them. (To be continued...)
