Chapter 512 Return to Middle-earth
North of Shu Kingdom.
The eight boundaries of Shu.
After more than a month, Qingyuan was a real person, flying clouds and fog, then shrinking the ground to form an inch, crossing the so-called Settling Sun Mountains and the continuous city walls.
The terrain of the Canyang Mountains is undulating, and there are also various poisonous insects and beasts, especially biogas and poisonous weeds. Once inhaled, once scratched, it will be injured if it does not die, and it will be plagued by injuries.
Even if there are any elite troops, if there are many, there will be casualties in such dangerous places.
Therefore, the Settling Mountains cannot march.
Shu Kingdom and the northern Yuanmeng were separated by the Canyang Mountains, but they were not completely isolated. Otherwise, the general would not have to mobilize troops and waste the people and cause money to build this continuous city wall to resist the enemy from Yuanmeng.
Over the years, north and south have been connected... When more people have walked through it, there will be a way.
This road has been walked a lot, which is the Tenth Road.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this was once an official road, but later it was blocked from north to south and slightly abandoned, but the road was still there.
Qingyuan walked along the road.
The road that has been abandoned for many years is indeed blocking the road, but with his Taoist practice, even the demon king is not afraid, let alone some hazy insects and beasts that have not yet practiced?
Along the way, I found some traces of people on the way.
Although they were separated from the north and south after Ge Xiang, some people still crossed the city wall and went back and forth, most of them had various purposes...
For example, those shameful businesses in secret must be smuggled, sold by both parties, and made huge profits.
For example, spies from both sides, many of them infiltrated from the Yuan Meng Kingdom, or from the Shu Kingdom to the Yuan Meng Kingdom.
Judging from the traces left on the official road, although the road is abandoned and there are few pedestrians, in recent years, several groups of people have passed by here in groups of three or three.
Qingyuan could probably guess the secret disagreement between the two countries, but he didn't care much about it. After all, he had no intention of interfering in the world's deity. Even if he took a step back, he was really interested in it. However, he has now entered the upper level of the world, and his vision is within the reach of the upper level, rather than some communications at the bottom.
...
Cross the city wall.
Qingyuan looked back and saw that the mountains were stretched out, and the setting sun was like blood. It had reached the west, and half of the shadow was covered by the mountains, forests and trees.
The endless forests, with some traces of drooling twilight, seem a bit desolate.
After all, it is already winter. Even though it is southerly, it is not as snowflakes as the north, but it is also full of the bleak autumn wind, and the coldness of the cold wind is approaching.
"north……"
Qingyuan withdrew his gaze and sensed that there were soldiers from Shu who were patrolling the city walls without stopping and continued to go south.
Only when he left was a group of soldiers and generals slowly walked by.
The city walls are continuous, and one is built ten miles away, which can ignite beacons to warn.
Every thirty miles, barracks and schoolyards are set up, and there are many soldiers and generals in the interior. They leave every day and patrol and travel back and forth to the two sides.
Although after Ge Xiang's death, the north was invaded again, and there was no war for many years and it is still calm. However, the leader of the northern army was an old general next to Ge Xiang in the past. He knew the toughness of the northern tribes, so he still maintained such inspection rules for many years. Although the military discipline seemed to be loose because he had not experienced war for many years, he had not completely relaxed.
As an army that has been guarding the city for many years, it is really rare to maintain the rules of patrol and wandering in the years without war and in the boredom and silence.
After all, the Northern Yuanmeng has become increasingly powerful in recent years, sweeping across the 800 tribes in the northwest, which is almost irresistible. It can also make the army in the northern part of Shu realize the crisis and become vigilant.
At this moment, Qingyuan had already walked away. He could probably know the level of the northern city guarding army. Although it was not as passionate and fierce as the elite, it did not eliminate its minions in the years of peace. At least it retained the military discipline that had not violated for decades... If Yuan Meng led his army south in the future, this city guarding army would not be easily defeated.
...
As he walked along the way, he did not follow the same route when he came, so he did not pass through Sanxing Village, but he turned the road and set foot in Bazi County.
Bazi County, this land near the underworld, is also outside the demon realm founded by the great demon.
This place is close to the north, so the people are strong, and because they are close to the underworld, their minds are evil, and they are influenced by the demon realm and almost become extremely vicious.
Although the Demon Realm is now destroyed, the evil thoughts that come from nature and the actions that have always come to make this Bazi County still seem so fierce.
However, there are many outsiders in Bazi County today.
Qingyuan glanced at it and found that most of these so-called outsiders were practicing, and only a few were secular people who had not practiced.
"People who practice here are mostly related to the Demon Realm. Now the Demon Realm is destroyed... Some people try to seek opportunities, while others hold various strange thoughts that others don't know, so they gather here?"
Qingyuan said intimately: "Just like the Canglun tribe at the beginning? However, the Canglun tribe has been in trouble for many years, and it was not until the previous two years that the movement was completely eliminated. No practitioners in the practice went to investigate. How many years would it take to wait for this Bazi County to return to peace?"
Thinking of this, he looked at the mortals who had not practiced.
In Bazi County, people are served in the daytime, bandits are committed at night, passing passengers are robbed and killed, and even cooked and killed people for food.
This kind of infamous reputation has long been spread to all parties. Last time when the Qing Dynasty turned out to be Bazi County, he was almost the only one outsider here, and he was also killed by evil people at night. But this time, it was bustling and quite prosperous.
Kiyohara was surprised when she saw this scene at the first time, but after thinking about it, it was understandable.
After all, there are many monks coming here and people coming and going. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, there are many outsiders in Bazi County, which is no longer as dangerous as before.
Among ordinary people, there are also many people who have to pass Bazi County, but they are concerned about their past bad reputations, either breaking their minds or taking a detour. Until now, when they hear this news, the number of passers-by has gradually increased.
"Looking at the fact that the residents of Bazi County are still as tough as before, with a bad temper, angry temper, and often cursing, or glaring, or even fighting, but they seem to dare not do anything to harm human life..."
Qingyuan glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and smiled, "Is it possible that a monk came here earlier and was treated as a fat sheep? Just like I was like at that time... However, the people of Bazi County should have been beaten and hurt now. Knowing that outsiders are not easy to mess with, so they can only be content with themselves?"
Thinking of this, Qingyuan couldn't help laughing a little. His Yin spirit swept over and found that many Taoist orthodox practitioners may not be the direct descendants of the Sect of the Sect of the Righteous Taoism, but perhaps also the orthodox Taoist sect of the Middle Earth.
All kinds of Taoist sects, such as Mingyuan Taoist Temple, such as the old Taoist sect of Hongsong, Luoyue County, such as the Seven Spirit Sect, whether deep or shallow, can be regarded as orthodox Taoist sects. The two ancestors of the Taoist sect worship each other, and some worship the two ancestors of the Taoist sect together.
Shouzhengdao Sect is the first sect in the Middle Earth. It nominally commands all Taoist sects, and there are also various sects and sects that are loyal to the Shouzhengdao Sect.
Thinking about these, they are also those who practice Taoism who are obedient to the order of the righteous Taoist sect and stationed here.
In addition, Qingyuan also discovered that a group of defenders in Bazi County are now stationed.
Perhaps this group of defenders is the reason why the people of Bazi County are truly obedient.
He had some thoughts in his mind, which were related to the place where the Demon Realm was originally located, so he stayed in Bazi County for one night.
Looking at the changing sky, there should be no moon tonight, and there will be clouds covering the top.
"The Yin Qi is too heavy, and the Yin Fire is also heavy. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Qingyuan found a place and stayed in.
And where he lives was the inn he stayed at when he first came to Bazi County.
However, the shopkeeper and waiter of the inn have already changed people.
Things change.
