Mi Xiaojing saw a small river and asked, "Walk along the river?"
Rob said: "Yes, yes, water is convenient!"
Walking along the river, you will soon see a forest, all of which are very thick trees. This should be the remaining virgin forest.
The forest was not big, and it took about ten minutes to walk there. Then everyone saw patches of farmland. The crops had been harvested. There was a village not far away, but Mi Xiaojing was not satisfied with it. The village was too small. It would be too conspicuous if they lived in it.
Passing by a small village, there were a few old people sitting and basking in the sun at the entrance of the village. When they saw Mi Xiaojing and the others approaching, they immediately stood up and retreated to the side. Everyone here knew that these were cultivators. These people were not only rich, but also capable of fighting. , is a very dangerous person.
If you live here all year round, you will have a common sense, which is to maintain respect and awe for cultivators. They are people from two worlds.
Mi Xiaojing said: "Mao Tou, go ask for directions!"
Maotou hurriedly ran over and came to these old people. He said, "Hello grandpa, can I ask if there is a town nearby?"
When he was at Xiyanmen, Mao Tou and the others would always call the older people "grandfather". This was already his habit, so he blurted out the words with a sweet mouth, but these old people were frightened. Who dares to be your grandfather? Not looking for death!
"Hello, Master!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, hello, young master!"
Mu Xiaoyin was not far away and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This conversation was really interesting. It was all about me.
One of the old men was clever. He said without any nonsense: "Along this road, there is Shuanghe Town. It is the largest town in our area. It was built along both sides of the river. Rich people live there."
Mi Xiaojing said: "Zhang Ke, give them a piece of cloth."
Zhang Ke walked up and took out a piece of cloth from the storage bag. It was a very delicate green cloth, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was just an ordinary item, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a good thing. , this is money.
"Here, here is this piece of cloth for you."
The old man hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the reward!" He was very skillful. Ordinary people here know that cultivators are generous, and it was true. He only answered one sentence and got a piece of green cloth.
Mi Xiaojing then led a few people towards Shuanghe Town.
About half an hour later, the group saw a large town with at least several thousand households building houses along both sides of the river. The rivers here crisscrossed each other. In the town of Shuanghe, there were various bridges, large and small, and stone There are wooden bridges, and the road here is the river. The back door of every house is next to the river, with a boat tied to it.
Shuanghe Town is controlled by a cultivator family surnamed Luo. A family with a cultivator in the middle stage of pill formation is the overlord in Shuanghe Town.
Basically, the small towns here are like this. They are generally controlled by cultivator families, and those who control them are the masters in Tianyuanfang City. Some of the cultivator families in these small towns are even managed by sect cultivators.
The villages below are often controlled by small town families, with layers upon layers and distinct classes. Therefore, the villages and towns here are not unmanaged, but each village and town is managed by someone.
Mi Xiaojing and others walked into the town, but they were not conspicuous. There were many well-dressed cultivators on the street, as well as many ordinary people. It was very lively with people coming and going.
The layout of this town is very interesting. There are two roads running parallel, one is the waterway behind the house, and the other is the stone road in front of the house. The stone roadside is the waterway, and on the stone road, wooden sheds have been built. Whether it is sunny or rainy days, there are wooden sheds to cover it. It is antique and you can tell that it was built many years ago.
The boat was in the water, and someone was rocking the oar, making a creaking sound. Along the way, there were sounds of hawking, talking, and even quarreling, making it extremely lively.
The world of mortals is noisy, how can there be the tranquility of cultivation!
Everyone is not very used to it, but Mao Tou, Dazhu and Mu Xiaoyin feel that their eyes are not enough. Everything is new and they have not seen anything. Robb tries his best to look at Mi Xiaojing and does his best not to be affected by the surrounding environment. , but after coming in, I still couldn't control my eyes. Although my head didn't move, my eyes moved around.
After all, Zhang Ke is older, and his expression is much more stable. He said: "Should we buy a house in the town, or build a house on the edge of the town?"
Mi Xiaojing said as he walked: "It's best to have a ready-made house. If it doesn't work, just hire someone to build it."
"Hey. Isn't this Senior Brother Xiaomi?"
A man walked out of the shop and saw Mi Xiaojing and others at a glance. He shouted in surprise, and then hurried forward.
"Junior Brother Lu Yu... why are you here?"
Mi Xiaojing also recognized him, and Lu Yu had a look of joy on his face. He kept saying, "Come, come to my shop!"
"You have a shop here?"
“It’s hard to explain in words, let’s talk about it first in the store!”
He led Mi Xiaojing and others to a shop on the street. Before entering, Mi Xiaojing looked at the shop sign.
Lu Kee Clothing Store!
It turned out to be a shop that bought and sold ready-made clothes and had nothing to do with cultivation.
Lu Yu took everyone without stopping in the shop, and went directly through the hall to transfer the ownership, and came to a house nearby.
After everyone sat down, Mi Xiaojing asked curiously: "When did you run out?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I ran away before the fight started. I came out this time in the name of purchasing for Caorentang. I didn't expect to get the news later that the sect was beaten badly, so I didn't dare to go back. Well... I'm glad I met you, how is the sect now?"
Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said: "The sect was completely destroyed and swallowed by the earth's fire and magma..."
"Ah! Is there anyone alive in my manor?"
"If you don't leave before the war starts, you won't be able to leave, and basically everyone will die."
Lu Yu was completely stunned. After a while, he said: "Then... then, then you can't go back?"
Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, I can't go back."
Lu Yu seemed to have lost all his muscles and bones, and he slumped on the chair, muttering: "Oh my god... How could this happen... How is this happening? A few days ago... I heard a little news a few days ago, and I haven't heard it yet. I believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be over..."
A cultivator like Lu Yu who grew up in a sect and practiced smoothly all the way, once he left the sect and lost the protection of the sect, he suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
Mi Xiaojing looked at Lu Yu curiously and murmured in her heart: "Why is this guy so embarrassed? Isn't it just that the sect was destroyed? Is this the case?"
Unknowingly, he no longer had any trouble in his heart about such a major event as the sect being destroyed. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed. He would still have to continue living and cultivating.
Lu Yu looked at Mi Xiaojing and suddenly became energetic again. For a person like him who has never left the sect, once the sect is destroyed, his whole life will be bad. When he sees his fellow sect, he will naturally become dependent in his heart: " Senior Brother Xiaomi, why did you run out?"
