When he saw the city, Long Wenmu knew he had found the right place.
After leaving Wushan, he had no idea where he had been transported. There was wasteland along the way, without any reference, and it was useless for him to hold a map.
I could only distinguish east, west, north and south and then headed south. Today I finally found the city on the edge of the desert.
Flying towards the oasis, I finally saw a human figure near the oasis.
Occasionally, I saw twos and threes of people below, some of them looked like business travelers, and most of the rest were guards wearing armor.
Long Wenmu flew to the oasis before landing. In the oasis, there stood a quaint small town.
The whole city is burnt yellow, as if it is built of desert sand. The city wall is slightly low and looks a bit old. There are also traces of wind and sand erosion on the wall. At first glance, it looks quite vicissitudes of life.
Arriving at the entrance, there were not many people entering and exiting the city. Above the city gate, a huge plaque was engraved with the words "Shasai City".
On the border of Yunxuan Kingdom, there are occasionally small border towns like this. I heard that these cities are guarded by border troops.
Shasai City? Long Wenmu looked at the plaque high up. As long as you can find such a small city, you can find the way to Chuyang Kingdom.
Long Wenmu walked towards the city gate. Several soldiers in charge of guarding the gate stood on both sides, wearing yellow cloth around their necks and covering their mouths and noses.
The wind and sand are flying here, and many people coming and going are dressed like this.
When we arrived at the gate of the city, a soldier looked over.
"Enter the city?"
Long Wenmu nodded.
"Looking at your appearance, you must be from afar."
Long Wenmu laughed at himself and nodded. The costumes in different places were indeed different, and the other party could tell at a glance.
"Shasai City opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. There are monsters in the desert at night. If you stay here for a long time, you should consider the time of entry and exit by yourself."
The soldiers guarding the city should have given this advice to every new person entering the city. Long Wenmu bowed his hands to him as if he was being taught. The soldiers guarding the city didn't say anything more and just let him go.
Generally, entry fees are required to enter the city, but there seems to be no such rule here.
Long Wenmu walked through the city gate and entered the city, a little surprised. The few people who were guarding the city were all little demon masters. Not only the people guarding the city, but also the aura of the demon masters in Shasai City could be felt.
Walking into the city, this city is really not big, probably just a little bigger than the Baishuang City where I lived.
Like the cities Long Wenmu had visited before, whether they were Baishuang City or Laokang City, no matter how big or small, at least there were people coming and going. But Shasai City seemed empty. Not to mention the people passing by, there were very few people even on the roadside.
Go to the store.
After wandering around the city for a while, I found a teahouse to sit down and asked the waiter to bring me a pot of tea and some food.
Sitting at the table, he took out the jade map and began to sense it silently.
Now that you know your current location, you can also find the specific direction.
From the map, I sensed that Shasai City is the southernmost small town, and there are several small towns nearby. If you are not lost and want to go to Yang Kingdom, you should also pass by this area. It seems that you don’t know the way.
I haven't taken the wrong path for a while.
There were several other people sitting at the tea table, and at the table next to it sat soldiers from the city. There were three people sitting around the table, wearing armor, with long knives leaning against the table.
"Your Majesty, your tea." The waiter enthusiastically served the tea to the table, along with several plates of side dishes.
Long Wenmu nodded, put the jade away, and called to the waiter when he was about to leave.
"Xiao Er, I want to ask you about a few things." Long Wenmu said.
The waiter responded quickly: "What do you want to ask, sir?"
"If I want to go to Yang Country, can I leave from here?"
The waiter nodded repeatedly: "That's right, sir, isn't that why you're here? In addition to the business travelers passing through our Shasai City, only people going out of the country will come here."
Long Wenmu nodded slightly. On the Holy Spirit Continent, empires and empires were governed by boundaries, and between countries, there were often some places that did not belong to the countries. These places were often dense forests and wild places, which were monsters.
A place where beasts roam.
Ordinary people who want to travel between countries will basically not walk through these dangerous areas.
When he first set out, Yunjia explained some relevant matters to him.
"I heard that if you want to travel between countries, you need to use something called an empty boat, right?" Long Wenmu asked again.
"That's right, this is your first time leaving the country. You must have heard that countries are often separated by dangerous areas where monsters are infested. We generally call these areas wilderness areas. If you want to cross the wilderness areas on foot,
It’s basically impossible and you have to resort to an empty boat.”
Long Wenmu thought thoughtfully, the wilderness, this kind of place should be somewhat similar to the Ebony Mountains. Of course, it will not be like the Ebony Mountains where monsters roam everywhere, but it is definitely very dangerous. Compared with climbing over mountains and ridges in that kind of place,
, empty boat should be the most common way of transportation.
Regarding Kongzhou, Yunjia had only told him the name, and Long Wenmu had no idea what Kongzhou was.
"Let me ask you another question, what is an empty boat?" Long Wenmu had all kinds of curiosity in his heart.
Before the waiter could answer, one of the soldiers sitting at the table next to him suddenly slapped the table and said, "My friend, have you ever seen a giant ship that can fly in the air?"
The man was holding a bowl of strong wine and said proudly.
Long Wenmu looked at the man. Sitting opposite him was a young man who looked less than thirty. His face was a little red from drinking.
Carrying a wine jar, he walked leisurely towards Long Wenmu's table and sat down with a golden sword.
When the waiter saw this, he had already retreated. The man sat opposite Long Wenmu, minding his own business and pouring himself another bowl of wine.
The shop smelled of alcohol, and Long Wenmu frowned slightly.
"Is this friend also a demon master?" the soldier asked.
Long Wenmu nodded calmly. He could sense that the soldiers on the opposite side, including the ones who didn't come over, were all demon masters.
"The demon master is good. The demon master can live a long life, but the demon master is also miserable. He has to sit everywhere." The man opposite laughed, and his temperament seemed to be generous.
Long Wenmu smiled: "This dear friend just talked about the flying giant ship. This is my first time here. Can you elaborate on it?"
The man opposite looked at him and laughed: "Okay, I'll tell you whatever you want to know, but my information is not free. You have to pay for my drink."
Long Wenmu smiled lightly and still nodded: "Okay."
The man opposite laughed even louder and hurriedly called to the other two companions: "Haha, come on, come on, this guy is so bold, we can have a drink today."
Two people over there shook their heads and chatted over each other. They each sat next to Long Wenmu. One of them said: "This little brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He does this every time he gets drunk. He always likes to take advantage. He just looks at it.
If you, an outsider, want to take advantage of me, just ignore him."
Being exposed by others didn't bother the person opposite.
"Did you just ask me about the empty boat?"
"Regarding the matter of Kongzhou, I also want to know how to get to Chuyang Kingdom." Long Wenmu said.
The man opposite took a sip of wine: "You kid wants to go to the Kingdom of Yang, so you've come to the right place. As I said before, an empty boat is a flying boat that travels from high altitudes and crosses the wilderness."
"Where is the empty boat?" Long Wenmu asked again.
This time, the gentle soldier next to him replied: "If you want to take an empty boat to Chuyang Kingdom, little brother, you have to wait until tomorrow. In our border cities, an empty boat will pass by every three days. Then you can
All you have to do is ride on it.”
Long Wenmu understood.
"Does the empty boat fly directly from here to the Kingdom of Yang?" Long Wenmu asked again.
The man nodded slightly: "It's almost the same. There is a small country called Baili Country between Yunxuan Country and Chuyang Country. We will first pass through Baili Country, stop for a while, and then fly directly to Chuyang Country."
Long Wenmu thought to himself: "How long will it take to reach Chuyang Kingdom by empty boat?"
The man said truthfully: "It's almost a month's journey from here to Chuyang Kingdom."
One month? Longwen Murao was prepared, but also a little worried. One month was not a short period of time.
"Besides empty boat, is there any faster way?" Long Wenmu asked.
The man shook his head slightly: "The speed of the empty boat is not slow, but the distance is a little longer. Is it possible that you are in a hurry?"
"Absolutely." Long Wenmu said.
"Then you can't be in a hurry. If you want to go out to Yang Country, the only way is to go by empty boat."
Is empty boat the only way? This is true for ordinary people, and there should be no exception for those with emperor status.
Thinking of this, Long Wenmu asked insinuatingly: "How dare you, brother, have any important people come and go between the two countries in recent times?"
"Important person?" The man was a little confused.
On the contrary, the bold guy opposite said carelessly: "I know this. I heard before that many big shots from Chuyang Kingdom passed by nearby."
Long Wenmu was shocked: "Big shot? When did they pass by?"
The man pursed his lips and said: "It was probably the first two days. It seemed that I took an air boat from a nearby city. It happened in the past two days. Speaking of which, in the past few days, I heard that many big shots came.
There are many Heavenly Demon Masters coming and going. Hey, why are you asking these questions?"
Long Wenmu quickly shook his head: "Nothing, just ask."
A big shot in Chuyang Kingdom, and it happened just a few days ago, Long Wenmu could probably guess that it was Yan Yang's group.
In this way, I am one step behind them.
Knowing that he was still holding on to the opponent's pace, Long Wenmu had some confidence, at least he had caught the opponent's whereabouts.
It would take a month to go to Chuyang Kingdom in an empty boat. Long Wenmu thought in his mind that if he walked through the wilderness on foot, it would probably take even longer.
Although he was confident that he could deal with any monster below the earth monster, if he really wanted to cross the wilderness on foot, it would definitely take a lot of time through the high mountains. Instead of this, he could only follow the normal route and take an empty boat.
But in this case, Yanyang and others are destined to be delayed for a day or two. But there is no other way now. Everything can only be done after arriving in Chuyang Country.
Everyone sat and drank. These three people were all straightforward in temperament, and Long Wenmu talked harmoniously with them. Anyway, the empty boat will arrive tomorrow, and Long Wenmu doesn't have to rush today.
"Speaking of which, little brother, where are you from?" the gentle man asked.
In the chat just now, Long Wenmu already knew that the person with a bold personality was named Huang, the person with a gentle personality was named Li, and the other person with a quiet personality was named Zhao.
"A remote place is not worth mentioning," Long Wenmu said casually.
"Brother Long, don't mind. I'm not trying to find out your identity. It's just that in our small town, the people who come here are basically ordinary people, and there are not many demon masters." The man surnamed Li told him not to be surprised.
"Speaking of demon masters, I would like to ask. It is generally said that demon masters are rare. Except for places like Qingyun Castle, demon masters are rare in other places. But why are there so many demon masters in this Shasai City?" Long Wen
Mu asked.
He had always been a little concerned when he came here. Not to mention others, the three people in front of him were all demon masters.
Li surnamed with a hint of pride: "Brother Long, you don't know something. We are the border army here, specially guarding the border of Yunxuan Kingdom. There are many monsters on the border, so most of our border troops are demon masters."
Long Wenmu was slightly solemn. It turned out that in Yunxuan Kingdom, in addition to Qingyun Castle, there was also a place like the Border Army where demon masters gathered.
The man surnamed Huang was drunk, and his tone was bold and unrestrained: "You guys have probably only heard of Qingyun Castle, right? What is the most powerful force in Yunxuan Kingdom? Everyone only knows about Qingyun Castle, but they don't know that Yunxuan Kingdom actually has two big ones.
Qingyun Castle is just one of the forces, and the other one is the many soldiers of our border army."
