Chapter 134 Xufu Town
Lin Mu was a little depressed and sympathetic when he received a hidden Xuan-level task with a specialty as a reward, but the desire for the specialty made Feng Zhong and Lin Mu turn the heaviness into strength, and they both had an impulse to rush out of Yinglong Valley and kill people everywhere.
It seems that it is time to open that secret passage! Lin Mu thought to himself.
After explaining all the affairs, Lin Mu set off again. This time he set off alone without a general to collect the last town. This town was the most valuable and a heavy choice from Senior Yinglong. Lin Mu was confused at the time and didn't understand why. Now he can go to find the answer.
Yinglong Valley, northeast area.
Most of this area is an endless grassland, but the part near the sea is filled with fog. It may be because it is adjacent to the coast. The air is humid and foggy, and the people have not yet moved here to open up wasteland and cultivate land.
Lin Mu had inspected this area before, but he felt that the fog was so thick that his vision was obscured by the fog, which was very inconvenient. He just inspected it briefly and went back without taking a closer look.
Now Lin Mu came to the edge of this area that was still foggy under the scorching sun. Standing on the border, he sighed. Compared with the outside world with the breeze at dawn and the fragrance of the grassland next to it, it was just a swamp. It was really two extremes!
This situation in this area was caused by the existence of a huge formation, the cloud-covering sky formation, which used the power of the earth veins as the source, the entire town as the formation, and the clouds in the sky as the shape to lay a sky-covering formation.
When the formation was formed, the clouds and fog lingered, like a thousand-year-old swamp, which not only restricted ordinary senses such as vision and taste, but also made the people who entered it hallucinate, making them think that there was nothing here except the fog, and it was even full of hidden swamp traps, which was very dangerous and concealed the sky!
Lin Mu did not walk into the foggy land immediately, but took out an ordinary ancient token from his backpack, Yinglong Order!
With the token in hand, Lin Mu slowly walked into the formation.
As soon as Lin Mu entered the swamp, he seemed to sense something, and the clouds and mist surged, as if boiling. As Lin Mu walked slowly, the clouds and mist slowly dispersed, and a compacted earth road slowly appeared. This earth road can accommodate one person to walk, and there is no cloud or mist in it. It is very magical! But Lin Mu was not surprised. He had a blank expression on his face, holding the token in his hand, and walked inside along the compacted earth road.
After walking for about half an incense stick of time, the clouds and mist in the sky disappeared, and the unbearable feeling of dampness also disappeared. It was sunny and refreshing, a scene of spring breeze and sunshine in the south of the Yangtze River!
What Lin Mu saw was a piece of well-organized fields, and on the green fields, there were many farmers bending over and busy, like busy bees, hardworking and patient.
This is the scenery of a town, not like a swamp, where even wild animals are unwilling to live.
The vast fields are ordinary but tall and wide, with green crops swaying. It is another harvest season!
The fields are beautiful, the lake reflects the white clouds in the sky, the air is filled with youthful atmosphere, and the farmers and children in the fields are laughing and talking.
Lin Mu's sudden appearance attracted the attention of the nearby farmers, but they only whispered to the people next to them and did not come forward to talk to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu looked around the surrounding environment and found a relatively wide stone road. This stone road is paved with green materials. It is smooth and flat, durable and practical. Even on rainy days, it will not be as muddy as a dirt road.
Lin Mu knew that this was a highway that could lead directly to the center of the town. When Lin Mu and Chang Yin discussed the planning of the territory city, they also talked about this highway. The central highway must be paved with stone, wide, straight and durable. If the stone resources increase, other small roads will also be paved with stone slabs. Such urban roads will greatly improve the transportation of the territory.
To get rich, you must first build roads, a simple truth that has never changed!
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a horse with me, otherwise I would have reached the center of the town in a short time.
Lin Mu rushed to his destination along the smooth, flat and wide stone slab road that could pass four Dongfeng large mud trucks at the same time.
After Lin Mu walked for about an hour, a ten-foot-high stone tablet appeared beside the road, standing on the side of the stone slab road, like a road sign, but it was not written on it. Instead, on the smooth vermilion surface, three ancient and vicissitudes of life characters were deeply engraved: Xufu Town.
Xufu Town, Xufu?
Looking at the stone tablet that seemed to have experienced countless vicissitudes of life, Lin Mu pondered in his heart.
Now is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Xu Fu, could it be the epic alchemist Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty? Xu Fu who followed the imperial decree to cross the vast sea to find the elixir of immortality?
Thinking of this, Lin Mu was shocked. However, his cultivation skills have improved slightly, and his face is normal.
With expectation, Lin Mu's steps are faster and lighter.
After Lin Mu rushed for another two hours, he finally saw the outline of a town on the edge of the vast sky.
From a distance, it is like inlaid between heaven and earth. The sky is blue, the earth is green, and the town is ancient and gray-green, a magnificent picture.
Seeing the town means that it is almost there. On this plain, there will be no situation of seeing the mountain and running to the death.
The closer to the town, the more people there are, and the noisy sounds in the town come from all directions, a lively atmosphere.
"Hey, whose child is that person in front of? Why is he so strange? Lao Li, do you know?" an elderly town citizen among the pedestrians asked the person next to him.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him before. Could it be the child from Zhenbei?" The old man surnamed Li paused and thought about it before replying.
When Lin Mu saw two elderly white-haired old men stopping to discuss, he politely stepped forward and asked, "Two old gentlemen, I would like to ask where the town's meeting hall is?"
The town's meeting hall is not always in the center. When Lin Mu arrives, he needs to know the layout of the neighborhood.
"Oh, you don't even know where the meeting hall is. Did you come in from outside?" Old Li Tou said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm from outside. I need to visit the mayor of Xufu Town on important matters. Please help me solve my doubts." Lin Mu said politely.
"Oh, it's been a long time since outsiders came to our town. You can actually break through the cloud formation. You're pretty capable!" Another old man praised with a smile, and patiently pointed in one direction and replied: "You follow this avenue. Go, go to a workshop with a ten-foot-high red stone foundation, turn right, and walk for about a stick of incense, you can see the tall town-level meeting hall, which is probably in the northeast of this town, very far away. It’s easy to find, but we don’t have the convenience of our legs, so we won’t take you there!”
"Thank you, Mr. Old, for your advice. I'll go first. I'll visit Mr. Old again when I get the chance!" Lin Mu said with fists in his hands, without even exchanging pleasantries, and walked away.
"This kid is quite polite. He has tall eyebrows and an extraordinary bearing. He is much better than that naughty kid in my family. If I have a grandson like this, I will die without regrets!"
"Haha, your grandson is an intermediate Kanyu master. At his age, his professional level is already so high. At such a young age, with such achievements, he can still be ranked high in the town! Just act modest!" Old man He said with a look of contempt.
"Haha, your granddaughter is not bad either. She is an intermediate colorful silkworm breeder and is considered one of the best in her area. She is also beautiful and virtuous. Many young men are pursuing her for the purpose of marrying her!"
"How about our two families get married, and we'll be happy together. Hehe... how about it?"
"Well, look after the children, it's their world now!"
"..."
…
Lin Mu walked in the direction given by the old man. On the road in the town, he also saw many townspeople. However, some townspeople had sorrow on their faces and frowned, as if they had some insurmountable difficulties.
