Chapter 409: Ancheng
After getting on the main road, there were more villages and towns along the way, which proved that the direction of the road he was taking was correct.
Most of the villages and towns were built around cities, so they would not be too far away.
Compared with the branch roads, the road surface of the main road was obviously polished. Although it was not as smooth as asphalt roads, it was much smoother and there were not many potholes.
Sometimes you can see a caravan passing by, some of which were escort agencies going out, some were merchants transporting goods, and some farmers were sitting on ox carts, transporting their own crops, as if they were going into the city.
The closer you are to the city, the busier this main road is.
Sometimes you can see a tea shop set up on the side, waiting for people on the road to come here to drink two bowls of tea.
Everything is so simple and quaint, making Wang Yu feel like he has traveled back to ancient times.
There are no energy vehicles, no cutting-edge rune technology products, which is quite different from the powerful ancient human race he imagined.
The mortal world is really a world dominated by ordinary people.
According to Ming Dewang, those mysterious products in the cultivation world are generally not circulated to ordinary people in the mortal world.
Especially some powerful and dangerous things, once they are discovered and the source of the flow is traced, even the cultivators will suffer imprisonment and punishment.
"Have a bowl, our own mountain spring water is very delicious, brother, have a bowl."
An old man hunched over and waved to Wang Yu who was passing by.
"How much is a bowl?" Wang Yu asked.
"Oh, one silver coin will do." The old man smiled wrinkledly.
"Then have a bowl." Wang Yu flipped his hand and a small round silver coin appeared in his hand, about the size of a thumb.
One side was printed with the ancient characters Qi Pan, and the other side was some beautiful patterns similar to flower clusters. It can be seen that the coin casting process is very sophisticated.
Silver coins are a kind of coin similar to silver, but its composition is different from pure silver. It is a kind of mithril.
Silver coins are also the lowest value trading currency in most human countries in the mortal world.
Above this, there is money with greater transaction value.
The words "Qi Pan" printed on it indicate that it is the national currency minted by Qi Pan.
Because of its status as an ancient country with a history of ten thousand years, the national currency minted by it is also commonly used in most countries.
Only some small countries, which are not strong in their own national strength, often change dynasties, and their domestic monetary systems often collapse.
The national currency of such small countries is relatively less circulated abroad.
The silver and money of Qi Pan in Wang Yu's hand were obtained from a few down-and-out mountain bandits. The number is not large, only a few dozen.
In addition, his storage ring actually contains the coins looted from Yang Bu Tong's Xuan Tian Que Pavilion disciples.
It was not minted by Qi Pan, but by Yi State where Xuan Tian Que Pavilion is located.
Yi State is located in the Yuanxian Realm, and it is also a ten thousand year old country. The circulation of its national currency is also quite wide in the Yuanxian Realm.
However, Wang Yu is now in the Unaged Emperor Realm, and the coins minted in the Yuanxian Realm are still somewhat inappropriate here.
If it is a big business, the other party may not buy it.
However, this small tea shop basically accepts all the silver and money, as long as it is made of mithril.
If it only recognizes the national currency of Qipan, the tea shop will lose a lot of customers and silver throughout the year.
"Old man, how long will it take to enter the city." Wang Yu drank a bowl of tea, smacked his lips, and then asked.
"It's not far, it will be there in half a day. Brother, you don't look like a local. What are you doing in Ancheng." The old man in the tea shop put away the silver and said.
Then he suddenly looked up and down at Wang Yu, and then smiled: "Are you going to worship Longque Mountain? Only Longque Mountain can attract handsome men like you nearby."
Wang Yu smiled and said, "It's a pity that Longque Mountain doesn't accept me. I can only go to the city again."
"Brother, you came at the wrong time. Longque Mountain recruits disciples in the second half of the year. You can't worship now." The old man shook his head.
You can't tell that this ordinary old man knows a lot.
People come and go in the teahouse, and he can hear a lot of trivial matters every year. Naturally, he knows the practice of Longquemen recruiting disciples.
In his opinion, Wang Yu is also a person who comes here because of his reputation.
Every year, young men like Wang Yu who are unfamiliar come here, and nine out of ten come here for Longquemen.
Wang Yu asked the old man in the teahouse, and unexpectedly got a lot of useful information.
Just as he was about to leave, a chaotic and rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
Wang Yu looked and saw four or five people riding tall horses, galloping from a distance.
Those people were injured and blood was blurred.
Even the horses they rode were scarred, and two of them had arrows stuck in their waists.
It can be seen that these people had a fierce fight.
Perhaps it was due to improper driving, or the horse was seriously injured, and gradually lost control and ran off the track, crashing straight into the teahouse on the roadside.
"Get out of the way!" The leader saw this and yelled, without any intention of stopping the horse.
The few people who were still drinking water in the teahouse were shocked and ran away immediately.
The old man in the teahouse also saw this scene and stood there in panic, not knowing what to do.
"It's over, it's over."
Not only the teahouse was over, but even his old bones were in great danger under these iron hooves.
Wang Yu saw this and stepped lightly.
The stones flew on the front hooves of the horses, and the horses immediately lost their balance and crashed into each other and fell sideways.
The five people on the horse all had good martial arts skills, and they were not seriously injured by the fall of the horse, and landed smoothly on the side.
"Who is it!" The five people were shocked and looked around.
They could feel that the horse under them fell because of the attack, but with their strength, they could not see the stones thrown by Wang Yu at all, and they didn't know who attacked them.
After a circle, they finally locked on the teahouse itself, and looked at the old man and Wang Yu in the teahouse gloomily.
At present, the two people who stayed in the teahouse are the most likely.
The old man's panic did not seem to be fake, and Wang Yu was calm and just looked at them quietly.
The five people walked around and were also very discerning, and quickly locked on Wang Yu.
"It's you!" The leader had a fierce look on his face, and with his blood stains, it was really scary for ordinary people.
"You almost hit the teahouse and scared people, don't you know to apologize?" Wang Yu said.
"You!" The leader heard it and was about to get angry, but someone behind him stopped him.
"Brother, it's urgent to ask for help, and we can't delay!" The man said, and he had already helped a big horse up.
Only this one of the five horses could still stand up.
"You stay here, I'll go first!" The burly man in the lead glared at Wang Yu, got on the big horse and galloped away again, heading towards the city.
"Old man, it seems that something is not going well today. I think you should close the tea shop and go back to rest." Wang Yu reminded.
"Ah, yes, yes, what you said is right, brother." The old man came to his senses, immediately closed the tea shop, hastily moved the things back to the ox cart at the back, and hurried away.
Even the few martial artists couldn't see Wang Yu's move clearly, let alone the old man in a panic.
All he knew was that the horse flipped over, and he and the tea shop were saved.
Wang Yu turned and walked towards the city. The four people who stayed behind immediately stopped him and asked without thinking: "Are you from the Snake Raising Gang!"
"What Snake Raising Gang?" Wang Yu heard it for the first time and looked puzzled.
"It shouldn't be. If it was someone from the Snake Raising Gang, they wouldn't have let Big Brother pass just now." Another big man said in a deep voice.
Wang Yu also understood that the Snake Raising Gang should be the enemy of this group of people.
Looking at this posture, it is somewhat like a fight between evil forces.
Wang Yu saw it and muttered in his heart again, what is the difference between this and the human branch world in their Half-Rotation Star Domain.
Sure enough, the human race is the human race. No matter what environment they develop in, the basic social model is similar.
This inevitably made Wang Yu a little disappointed. He thought that even in the mortal world, he could see some new things that he had never seen before.
But so far, everything is not so new.
Seeing that Wang Yu ignored them and was still leaving, one of them was immediately annoyed. His hand shook, and the broad long sword was unsheathed, revealing a small section of the sharp blade, and placed on Wang Yu's neck.
"You attacked us just now!" The big man said coldly.
Wang Yu glanced at them and didn't say anything more. After all, the gap in strength between the two was too great, and he raised his foot and continued to walk forward.
With one step, the four people who were still surrounding him suddenly had their legs weakened and fell to the ground.
Under the huge shock, the four people didn't even have a chance to react, and they fell into a coma. Many bones in their bodies were broken, leaving only one life.
Now Wang Yu can control the fierceness from his blood very well. He has no interest in boring killing.
For him, these four people are not even opponents.
Without stopping, he swept more than ten meters in one step, and disappeared on the official road in a few more steps.
Several people who were hiding and watching from a distance wiped their eyes, their faces full of shock.
"Who is that person? How, how come the four Blood Crows fell without doing anything?"
"It seems that he did something, but it seems that he did nothing"
"And how could he walk so fast, it's too weird."
This group of people looked like they had seen a ghost, only one person was still frightened, but still calm, and spoke.
"It must be a master in the cultivation world, otherwise how could the Blood Crow Society have no room for resistance."
Hearing him say this, another person also looked enlightened, "It must be, could it be a disciple of the Dragon Bird Sect!"
"Let's go, let's go, we can't watch this situation for too long, it will be fatal."
"That's right, let's go."
"."
About an hour after Wang Yu left, the leader of the Blood Crow Society came back with a group of gang members.
When passing by the teahouse, only four companions who were still unconscious were seen on the ground.
The weapons, leather armor, money and other items on the companions were all looted.
In this place where there was no village or shop, these four unconscious people were lying on the main road, and anyone passing by would not miss the opportunity to touch the corpses and pick up equipment.
They were not stripped naked because they were too bloody and their clothes were torn.
The leader's eyes suddenly flashed with fire.
"They are not dead yet. Someone stay and take these four away. The rest of you follow me and kill them back!" The leader of the team was not the leader, but another tall man who was fully armed and in metal armor.
He raised the pure black spear in his hand, looking fierce.
The others also shouted angrily, without stopping for too long, and quickly went further away on the official road with murderous intent.
Only the leader recalled Wang Yu's previous appearance in his mind and remembered it silently in his heart.
On the other side, after the teahouse, Wang Yu soon saw the city, Ancheng, from afar.
This is the closest city to Longque Mountain.
It was originally just a remote town in Ji County, with little presence.
Until the rise of Longquemen, this nearest town also took off.
With the increase in the flow of people, and later the attention of the central government of Ji County, the land was expanded and renovated, and it became one of the largest cities in the entire Ji County.
The surrounding villages and towns are also as numerous as stars, gathering a large population, and a thriving school.
Wang Yu slowed down his pace a little. At this time, the official road was already crowded with people and traffic.
There were quite a lot of teams coming in and out, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air.
It was quite rare for someone like Wang Yu to walk alone on the official road without a team, cattle, horses or other vehicles, and therefore attracted the sidelong glances of many people passing by.
If you look closely, you can find Wang Yu's uniqueness.
The smoke and dust did not touch Wang Yu at all, as if there was an invisible barrier that isolated him from everything he disliked.
Not long after, the expanding Ancheng appeared in front of Wang Yu.
The towering walls were stained with blood, as if they had resisted countless foreign attacks. They were printed on the walls like medals, adding a bit of solemnity and pressure, so that people and teams dared not easily make trouble in the city.
At the gate of the city, there was a group of officers and soldiers, about 20 to 30 people guarding.
Wang Yu glanced at them and quickly saw that the officers and soldiers were full of blood and qi. They were obviously martial artists, at least martial artists at the level of Burning Blood Realm.
The two strongest people, judging from their blood and qi constitution and breath strength, have almost reached the level of innate strength.
Just a team of officers and soldiers has such strength, which is enough to show that the court government of Qi Pan State has a deep foundation.
Come to think of it, even the Zhuzi Kingdom royal family, which was already on the verge of extinction, could mobilize a large number of cultivators to serve them in the end and fight the rebels to the death.
How could Qi Pan, a country with a history of ten thousand years, sever its relationship with the cultivation world?
In his opinion, if it was just a pure mortal force, it would be impossible for such a large Qi Pan Kingdom to last for ten thousand years without extinction.
The royal power always changes, but since the founding of Qi Pan, the royal bloodline has been maintained consistently and has not been invaded.
Wang Yu has reason to believe that there must be a powerful figure in the royal family of Qi Pan, and perhaps more than one person.
It is precisely because of this speculation that Wang Yu did not dare to act recklessly in this mortal world.
