Chapter 716 Wang Qilang Inn

There are eight major regions in Fuyao Tianxia, ​​with the Polar Region being the northernmost and the Mysterious Region being the southernmost. Li Changxiao went north, crossed the Red Region, and passed through the Green Region. The further north he went, the worse the weather became. Although there was no snowfall and the temperature was neither high nor low, the north wind was chilling.

This climate is not really suitable for living. Sometimes it feels hot and cold, alternating between hot and cold. If you are a little weak, you will definitely get seriously ill. However, with the alternation of hot and cold, the closer you are to the north, the more bizarre the vegetation is. The more fruits you bear, the sweeter they are when you bite them. But they are also extremely deadly and contain deadly poison. However, Li Changxiao still eats the fruits as food. Even if the poison is a hundred or a thousand times stronger, it can hardly hurt him at all.

There is an endless swamp in the Green Region, where poisonous snakes and insects are entrenched. The poisonous snakes are about the size of a bowl and are colorful. When they open their mouths, they reveal dozens of fangs, which is very scary. It makes people wonder, if you get bitten, how can you survive?

Besides, the poisonous insects can all fly. The small ones can drill into the body through the skin. The big ones are as big as a fist. When they fly towards the face, it is really scary. There are also strange vines that grow wider than big trees. There are dangers everywhere, but looking from the outside, the scenery has a bit of absurd beauty.

The mud swamp is not easy to cross. You need to use a kind of local leaves to weave large flat leaf shoes, step by step in the mud, and walk for three days and three nights. If the journey is smooth and there is no miasma in the mud, poisonous snakes and beasts, you can get through it safely. The human race in the Green Domain is rare, but it is not absent. In fact, Li Changxiao often sees traces of the human race when walking in the Green Domain. He can find many human kingdoms that are not too big or too small.

Just like in the endless swamp, Li Changxiao met a group of scholars, who were clearly carrying bamboo baskets and holding sage books in their hands, but they were walking in this wilderness, the worst place, which really felt out of place. After asking, I found out that they were the people of a certain country in the Green Domain.

That country was about to hold a "school exam". The so-called school exam was actually not much different from the "imperial examination", but because of different customs in different places, there were always one or two differences. The students of that country believed in an old saying "a big dragon came out of the swamp", so during the school exam, they deliberately took a long detour and passed by this swamp. Li Changxiao has been to many places and heard many old sayings, strange and weird, all of which are more or less related to local customs and events. Although Li Changxiao has never heard of the saying "a big dragon came out of the swamp", it can only be attributed to his short-sightedness and he didn't find it strange.

When he met a few students, he couldn't help but feel curious. He thought, he was walking the same path as Mei Sanniang, so his speed should not be much different. Many years ago at this time, there must have been a woman crossing the swamp and met another group of hardworking students. Mei Sanniang was a playful person, and she would play from time to time along the way. She was afraid that she would not miss this grand event.

He knew that the destination was not far away, and he didn't want to go too fast or too hurriedly. He wanted to see more along the way. He thought that Mei Sanniang would be the same. So he followed those students and crossed the endless swamp, which took about four days. These four days were really not good. Not only was the weather hot and messy, but he also had to be vigilant against poisonous insects.

Fortunately, before going out, several students had prepared anti-poison medicine early. The medicine was very effective. It could generally remove the poison of ordinary poisonous insects and animals. You just need to apply the medicine evenly on the wound.

He overcame all difficulties and crossed the swamp without any danger. The common people were excited to learn, and they all felt that their names were already on the list. The rest of the journey was even more enjoyable. Whenever they saw mountains and rivers, or wonders in the world, they would hold the books of sages and praise them loudly. They spoke in a literary way, trying to highlight their own knowledge.

Li Changxiao claimed to be a traveling merchant, and he traveled with several students. After leaving the swamp, they walked for another three or two days and finally arrived at the capital. This country, called "Ximi Kingdom", is a small country in Li Changxiao's eyes, but it is a big country in the eyes of the local people.

Because of its remote location, swamps and dense forests are distributed everywhere, and it is not easy to pass, resulting in weak diplomacy. But it is precisely because of this that the family and the country are stable and there are few wars. People from the outside world look down on this land. It is free from the disturbance of war.

The environment is harsh, but it can also be regarded as a piece of pure land. Due to the reduction of the area, there is no place that is stable, inside and outside the world. Li Changxiao walked northward, and there were countless war-torn places along the way. I often lament the suffering of the people, but I can't do anything with my cultivation.

The area is shrinking, the land is decreasing, and war is inevitable. It is hard for Li Changxiao to predict what the world will become in the future. Coming to Ximi Country, seeing that everything is peaceful, I feel at peace even if I don't live there, and I can't help but experience more of the folk customs of this country.

When he arrived at the capital, he saw that the buildings in the city were quite different. They were built with stone and wood. They looked primitive and magnificent. Looking along both sides of the street, the shops and houses of ordinary people are all "tree houses". They look like big trees, full of vitality, and some trees are bearing fruits.

The characters used in Ximi Country are slightly different from those in the outside world, but they can be roughly understood. Li Changxiao first found an inn to stay in. Logically, he had no extra money on hand, but the students he met a few days ago encountered some minor troubles when they crossed the swamp together. Li Changxiao solved the problem and gave some money to several people. Staying in Ximi country for a few days should be no problem.

The inn where Li Changxiao stayed was called "Wang Qilang Inn". When paying the room fee, he asked the shopkeeper and found out that his name was Wang Qilang. His surname was Wang and he was the seventh child in the family.

Li Changxiao thought the name was too vulgar. Compared with several inns around, he wanted to take the name to the sky, such as Fenglaiju Inn and Longlaiju Inn. The tourists were praised before they even checked in. But Li Changxiao chose this inn because of its name.

He didn't have much money, so he had to spend it sparingly. The inns named Fenglaiju and Longlaiju, although they meant "all who come are dragons and phoenixes", must be very expensive. On the contrary, the name of "Wang Qilang Inn" sounded vulgar, and he knew that the shopkeeper didn't ask many questions, was honest and generous, so he naturally chose this inn first.

But that night, when he was sitting in the lobby of the inn and chatting with the shopkeeper about the worries of running the inn, exchanging and learning, he suddenly discovered that Wang Qilang was honest, but obviously cunning, and the price was more expensive than the "Longlaiju Inn". He was defrauding people like Li Changxiao, who had little money and loved to take advantage of small bargains.

Another deep pull.

Good fellow, it turns out that this inn is named "Bao Lai Ju Inn", and there is no intention to do so. It is just because he saw that the other fellows were either dragons or phoenixes, and he could not be outdone. After thinking about it, he felt that the tiger was too powerful and the cat was too weak, so he named it "Bao Lai Ju Inn", which was just right.

Wang Qilang was very satisfied until one day, he met his mentor. A dusty but very charming woman.
