Now that we are all here, we must take a look at how the barbarians treat the monks from the Central Plains.
The next day.
Wang Gensheng and the others finally arrived at Ningdu, which Xiang Shaojie had mentioned, after half a day of traveling.
Seeing the expectant look on his face, he asked with some confusion:
"You look like you're looking forward to coming here. Have you never been here before?"
When Xiang Shaojie heard these words, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
"This place is a place where barbarians often appear. People like us with low cultivation are not qualified to come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of people walking towards him.
Wang Gensheng immediately became alert and looked back at Xiang Shaojie, only to see him standing there without changing his expression.
This made Wang Gensheng puzzled. Since he said he had never been here before, he could actually keep his expression straight when facing the group of people in front of him.
Either he is very mentally strong, or he is willing to accept everything that happens next.
A large group of people came in front of them, led by a middle-aged man with an average appearance.
"Who asked you to come to Ningdu? Do you think your life is too long?"
Wang Gensheng immediately used his spiritual consciousness to detect the opponent and saw that his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Xuanzhen Realm.
Although his tone did not allow for refutation when he spoke, there was no sinister expression on his face.
Wang Gensheng took a step forward, clasped his hands and said.
"I am a monk from Kyoto. I want to visit the barbarians. I wonder if your family can accommodate me."
Wang Gensheng stated his purpose very directly. On the one hand, he did not want to cause any misunderstanding, and on the other hand, he wanted to tell the other party that he could help.
The middle-aged man looked Wang Gensheng up and down and frowned.
After a moment, he said: "What ability do you have to let the Lin family receive you?"
Before Wang Gensheng could speak, the middle-aged man looked at Xiang Shaojie behind him and said.
"And you dare to come to Ningdu because your cultivation level is so low. Do you think your life is too long? Or do you think that I, Ningdu, need your help?"
"If so, please give up this idea and go back and forth wherever you go."
"The barbarians will launch another attack tonight. Even Ningdu will not have the extra energy to protect a monk with low cultivation like you."
Wang Gensheng could hear both inside and outside the words. Although this person looked very fierce when he spoke, he was still very kind at heart.
He didn't want to see someone with low cultivation like Xiang Shaojie die in the hands of barbarians.
There were very few pedestrians on the street at this time, and the only ones that could be seen were monks with swords patrolling back and forth.
Looking at it, the buildings here are extremely backward. They are still made of adobe bricks and have very poor defense.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Wang Gensheng said without hesitation.
"I brought him here, and I can guarantee his safety. Since you said the barbarians will launch an attack tonight, one more person will give you more strength."
The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Wang Gensheng up and down.
The information that the middle-aged man could get at this time was that Wang Gensheng was a monk in the early stage of Xuanzhen Realm.
This just meets the conditions for fighting against barbarians.
This is what Wang Gensheng did deliberately, not to let his true strength be revealed at any time.
If you encounter a danger that you cannot handle, you can escape unexpectedly.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was still hesitant, Wang Gensheng continued to persuade.
"Since you can't make the decision, then take me to see the head of your family."
Wang Gensheng released a kind of coercion intentionally or unintentionally, which made the man in front of him confused.
As a monk in the late stage of Xuanzhen Sword, facing a monk in the early stage of Xuanzhen Sword, I actually felt a chill down my back.
It's like facing thousands of troops.
"Follow me."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and walked in one direction, followed closely by Wang Gensheng and the others.
After walking for about half an hour, Wang Gensheng saw a city in the distance, with walls at least ten meters high.
A closer look at the material used to build the city wall revealed that it was actually made of rocks, which made Wang Gensheng sigh with emotion.
Along the way, I saw that most of the residential buildings here were built with mud bricks, while the city walls were made of rocks.
It can be imagined how backward the conditions here are. I am afraid that all the rocks in Ningdu have been used to build the city wall.
While walking Wang Gensheng, I kept the terrain here firmly in my mind.
Just in case, if danger occurs, you can choose the safest way out of here as soon as possible.
What makes Wang Gensheng even more curious is that almost all the residents here have two-story structures, which are lower than the city wall made of rocks.
Moreover, the main door of every house faces south, and there are no windows except the main door.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw Wang Gensheng's every move and said.
"Don't you think the architecture here is very strange? It's completely incomparable to Kyoto City."
"Have you been to Kyoto City?" Wang Gensheng asked doubtfully.
"Of course I have, but that was many years ago."
"Then why did you come back here instead of settling in Kyoto City?"
The middle-aged man said as he walked.
"This is my hometown. No matter how bad it is, I will protect every plant, tree and soil here."
When the middle-aged man said this, the expression on his face was very firm, which made Wang Gensheng stand in awe.
"Does your boss think so too?"
"He is our hero in Ningdu. Without him, this capital would have been occupied by barbarians long ago."
Suddenly Wang Gensheng felt a breath of familiarity, and immediately stopped.
He grabbed it out of thin air with his right hand, and the Water Cold Sword appeared braving blazing fire.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately became vigilant and drew his sword.
"What do you want to do?"
Wang Gensheng stared intently at a man in black clothes, walking back and forth not far away.
After a while, Wang Gensheng remembered that this aura was the powerful aura that appeared in the heavy rain last night.
Wang Gensheng turned back and glanced at Xiang Shaojie, only to see him looking at him in confusion.
"Senior, what did you find?"
Xiang Shaojie looked at Wang Gensheng uneasily.
Wang Gensheng looked at the man in black not far away coldly and said.
"He is the one who injured you last night."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and put the accessories back into the scabbard.
"No need to make a fuss. Every monk here has only one mission, and that is to resist the barbarian attack tonight."
"Even if you have any deep grudges, you should put them aside for the time being."
