Chapter 7 First Entry into Anyang
In the Qiankun Gate, no matter which mountain, the friendliness of the brothers will treat you depends on your cultivation. If your cultivation is much better than others and stands out, then naturally many people will be close to you and speak for you. But if your cultivation can't be low, you will become a burden in the sect.
In Liuyunfeng, Han Rui is a burdensome existence.
The lowest cultivation of Liu Yunfeng's disciples have reached the spiritual realm, while Han Rui is only a small realm. Usually, the tiring, dirty and tedious work in the door are all handed over to Han Rui alone, and those things that are easy to get the contribution of the sect or can get magic weapons are all repaired by some in Liuyunfeng Gate. Contract for higher disciples.
In fact, Han Rui doesn't care about all this. Who makes his cultivation really much lower than others?
The broken house was hit by rain all night, and the leaking of the boat hit the first wind. Once when Han Rui was helping Shang Yu clean the room, he accidentally broke a vase that Shang Yu had treasured for decades. It happened that Shang Yu was in a bad mood because of the failure to refine a three-month elixir. Seeing that Han Rui broke his favorite vase, Shang Yu once again let everyone witness his hot temper, directly drove Han Rui out of the universe gate, let him go to Anyang City to practice, and don't come back without practicing to the realm of thought.
No matter how low Han Rui's cultivation is, he is also an official disciple of Qiankun Gate, and Han Rui has not made the mistake of breaking the rules. Although Shang Yu is the first seat of Liu Yunfeng Gate, he still does not have the right to completely expel Han Rui from Qiankun Gate, but he can let Han Rui go out to practice. The possibility of letting Han Rui go out alone to experience the realm of mind is equivalent to indirectly expelling him from the universe gate.
For Han Rui, the only "benefit" is that he is still a disciple of the universe in name, which is much more convenient to do or walk in the world. In today's world, no one knows that Qiankunmen is the first school in the world, and they have great respect for the disciples of Qiankunmen.
Han Rui originally thought that he had become a formal disciple. From then on, he could easily learn the central method of the door. He practiced thousands of miles a day and made achievements in the universe as soon as possible. He didn't want to go to the world to practice alone because of his cultivation and carelessness.
It doesn't matter if you think about it. Since you can't stay in the universe, it's much better to go to the world to practice than to look at a group of contemptuous eyes every day on Liuyun Peak.
It took only three months from Han Rui becoming an official disciple to being " expelled" by Shang Yu. In three months, Han Rui only introduced some of his own mind that he could cultivate, and he could not use it flexibly.
Anyang City is thousands of miles away from Qingfeng Mountain. Han Rui, who rode the autumn water sword, flew for about half a day and then arrived at the Anyang boundary.
Dozens of miles away from Anyang City, Han Rui slowly landed, put away his flying sword, and prepared to walk into Anyang.
Anyang City is the largest city in the Central Plains today, and there are countless monks who come and go every day. There are many people whose cultivation is much higher than himself. If he accidentally flies with the sword and crashes into the other party, he is afraid that he will suffer losses. Therefore, Han Rui thought that it is also very close to Anyang City, and it will not take much time to walk into the city.
The wall of Anyang City is as high as several feet. If you haven't passed the five-fold essence, you will never be able to cross it directly. Outside the city wall, like other cities, there is also a moat around the city. It's just that outside Anyang City doesn't look like a moat that only has a protective effect, but a natural river formed by a tributary of the Sishui River around the city. Only a few places have been repaired manually.
Trees towering into the clouds can be seen everywhere outside the city. Looking at them from a distance, they are guarding Anyang City from others like warriors. Under the tree, there are many strange flowers and plants, and you will see a sea of flowers or medicinal grass almost countless miles.
A relatively wide field is planted with some seemingly strange flowers and plants, and there is a faint aura in the air above the flowers and plants. These flowers are not ordinary flowers, but several large merchants in Anyang City specially buy the wind and moon flowers planted on land outside the city. This flower and food, whose cultivation is below the realm of triple small success, can quickly accumulate vitality and break through the small success and reach the dawn realm as soon as possible. If ordinary people eat it, it can strengthen the body, and it is easy to activate the meridians. In severe case, it can eliminate all diseases, benefiting life and prolonging the year, and the effect is not low. This flower is a very hot item in Anyang City. Generally, disciples who are scattered or have no status in the sect can't afford to buy it at all, and few people will sell it to them. Once this flower is picked, it has basically been customized at a high price. How can it be eaten by ordinary people?
Han Rui looked at the wind and moon flowers and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. He couldn't wait to pick a few flowers and take them immediately. I'm afraid he will soon break through the four-fold dawn realm.
But it's just a thought. Since those merchants dare to plant such attractive moon flowers outside the city, they will naturally send masters to secretly guard there. Those merchants are rich, and the guardians they are invited are at least four-fold dawn-breaking, and occasionally there are five-fold proficient practitioners. They are temporarily short of money and will also join the ranks of employees. Therefore, it is impossible to forcibly plunder the wind and moon flower.
The first thing Han Rui needs to do when he enters Anyang City is to get familiar with Anyang City first, so that it will be much more convenient to do something by himself.
After visiting for nearly a day, I finally figured out the basic pattern of a huge Anyang city.
There is a very wide river outside Anyang City, the Surat River, which passes around the city and flows to the northeast. Among them, a diversion of the Surat River flows from near the west gate of Anyang City, winding around the city, flowing out from the northeast, and flowing into the mainstream of Surat that passes around the city. The closer to the center of the city, the richer it is, and there are private houses living around the wall.
Anyang City has four avenues, which divide Anyang City into nine pieces in a well shape. Near the north gate, it is mainly engaged in weapon blacksmiths; near the west gate, it is mainly engaged in silk cloth workshops and other operations; near the south gate, it is mainly engaged in livestock breeding; near the east gate, it is mainly engaged in herb cultivation. The center of the city is the largest trading market in Anyang City: Anyang Xiong City, the highest and largest transactions, most of which are completed here. There are also various high-end and luxury business places in the city center.
In addition, fighting is not allowed in Anyang City.
Anyang City does not directly belong to any sect, but since the day of Anyang's prosperity, the leaders of the sect have reached an agreement with the capable people in the world to strictly prohibit any monks from participating in the fight. If it violates the law, others can rise up and slaughter it. And for those who fight in the world, there is naturally an Anyang government criminal office, which does not need to be managed by monks. Therefore, as a trading or mission place, Anyang City has never had large-scale fighting or fighting methods in the city for decades or even hundreds of years. However, this regulation is limited to the city, and it is different from Anyang City.
In the evening, Han Rui casually found an inn to rest. Early the next morning, he began to walk around Anyang City. If he is lucky, he will soon find a place to practice.
Unconsciously, Han Rui arrived near the south gate of Anyang City.
"Are you a monk? I don't know what to call it"
"Han Rui, a disciple of Qiankunmen, I don't know what's your job?" Han Rui was stunned and guessed half of the matter, but he was not sure, so he had to ask first.
"My name is Cheng Jun, who is responsible for the guard of the south gate of Anyang City. I have a younger brother named Cheng Li, who is responsible for the guard of the east gate of the city. The guard knife he dropped here last time asked Han Shaoxia to help deliver it." Cheng Jun saw that the other party was Han Rui and said to him excitedly. As he spoke, he took off a knife from behind and handed it to Han Rui.
"Oh? There is no distance from the South Gate to the East Gate. Why don't you send it to your brother in person? Han Rui was extremely puzzled when he heard that he sent a guard knife from the south gate to the east gate.
"Han Shaoxia doesn't know that we are guarding the city gate, and the requirements are very strict. You must bring a knife when you stand guard every day. Once you are found that you are not wearing a knife, you will lose this job. And once we violate the rules, we must have monks come to deal with the aftermath, which are all the rules left a long time ago, so the day before yesterday I found that my brother's knife was still with me and was looking for monks around. Unexpectedly, I met Han Shaoxia, so I begged for help. Cheng Jun saw that Han Rui was puzzled and hurriedly explained.
After listening to Cheng Jun's explanation, Han Rui agreed to take Cheng Li's knife and went straight to the East Gate.
Since the end of the Fairy and Demon War, most of the cities in the Central Plains have been managed by the sect of Justice. However, the practitioners had no time to take care of the management of many cities, so they agreed with the world that the city would be managed by the world, and the practitioners were responsible for protecting the safety of the city from the invasion of the Demon Sect. Therefore, once many things in the world go wrong, most of them can only be handled by those practitioners. In this way, the relative stability of the city can be achieved, and those who have experienced the truth will bring a lot of resources to the world of cultivation. Only in this way can it last for a long time.
It only took a moment for Han Rui to rush to the East Gate with his knife. According to Cheng Jun's description, he found Cheng Li and returned the knife to him.
Han Rui couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Although he sent the knife to the East Gate and did not gain any experience in cultivation, he was also familiar with the fact that he could increase his reputation in the market through some small things, but after all, the task was too simple and completely inconsistent with his identity at this time.
When Han Rui walked and thought about how to find other experience opportunities, an old voice came from behind him,
"Han Shaoxia, I don't know if you are interested in the experience I gave you."
Hearing that someone behind him called his name and had experience to do it himself, Han Rui immediately turned around and didn't know who the other party was.
But Han Rui, who turned around, was stunned again. There were still passers-by walking in twos and threes on the street, and no one spoke to him, and there were no old people around him.
"It's strange. I heard someone calling me just now. Why did I turn around and find nothing? Did I hear it wrong?" Han Rui grabbed his hair and said to himself.
"You heard it right. I'm next to the Falling Moon Lake in Anyang City. If you are willing to help me do one thing, I can give you rich rewards and even help you improve your cultivation.
The old voice sounded again, but Han Rui looked around and still couldn't find anyone to speak.
"You don't have to look for it. You will know when you come to the Falling Moon Lake."
After the old voice said the last sentence, Han Rui could no longer hear the old voice.
"Well, since he is next to the Falling Moon Lake, I will go to look for him. If he helps him complete something, he will give me a reward and even help me improve my cultivation. Isn't it the best of both things?"
Han Rui, who was anxious to find nowhere to practice, suddenly lit up and hurriedly headed for the direction of Falling Moon Lake.
I don't know that all changes begin from here.
