Chapter 836: Strength to Pull Mountains and Invincibility to Overcome the World is a documentary literature
Although Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi didn't know the way, they had no problem with their physical fitness. They quickly found the river and walked downstream.
The two of them have decent cultivation bases, and even without flying, it is no problem for them to travel hundreds of miles in a day, and this is at the speed of walking.
If you determine a direction and run with all your strength, you can run faster.
However, when he didn't know where he was and how to get to [Nanli Daoyu], Mo Cheng was still cautious and didn't rashly choose a direction and start running.
If you run to the wrong place, you won't even know whether the world is round or not. If you run to the wrong place, you will have to spend more time to correct it.
Walking along the river, we soon saw the official road. Being able to see the official road basically meant that we could be sure that there were human gatherings nearby.
After walking for about half an hour, the two came across a village, but when they entered, they found that there was no one living there.
"There was no smell of blood, and the doors and windows of the house were all closed and locked. It looked like they didn't do it on impulse, nor were they driven away by anyone."
Mo Cheng took a quick look at the deserted village and concluded that the people in the village were evacuated in an orderly manner. If it was a robbery by bandits, there should be corpses and the smell of blood.
"This is probably because of the undertide." Shen Xueqi said softly, "When the undertide appears, the mayor of the big city has the obligation to take the surrounding villagers to the city for refuge and then send them back after the undertide passes."
It seems that this world has a full understanding of the [Undertide] and has even formulated relevant regulations.
In this village, Mo Cheng found two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The bad news is, the place is empty.
The good news is that there will be a city not far from this place.
Mo Cheng looked at the sky. If they were close enough, they should be able to reach the nearby city before the sun sets.
"You seem to want to get to the city as soon as possible."
Shen Xueqi's voice was cold and calm, but Mo Cheng still heard a hint of doubt in it.
If he guessed correctly, this sounded like a statement, but was it actually a question?
"My luggage was lost because of the Dark Tide, and I was already in the Dark Tide when I opened my eyes. I am not familiar with the area around here. I can buy a map in the city to know where to go to [Nanli Daoyu]."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng suddenly realized that since he had descended into this world, he had no baggage at all.
But apart from the Fang Tian Huaji in her hand, there didn't seem to be any package or anything like that on Shen Xueqi's body.
Although it is not excessive for a master of Wanghan's level to give storage items to his disciples, Mo Cheng still wants to confirm it.
"Miss Shen, I noticed that you didn't seem to have any gifts with you. Did you forget to bring them in such a hurry to go out?"
Shen Xueqi tilted her head to think about it, then took out a small wallet. "It takes money to trade with the shops in the town below the mountain. If you want to change clothes, I have this - the Clothes Cleansing Talisman."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper and gently tapped it on Mo Cheng's shoulder. The talisman paper immediately turned into a breeze that passed around his body, and all the leaves, burrs, and dirt on his clothes that were stained by Mo Cheng when he was walking on the mountain road because he was not paying attention disappeared.
Well, with this kind of thing, a change of clothes is indeed not necessary.
At the same time, Mo Cheng also confirmed that Shen Xueqi's cold and aloof temperament that almost kept strangers away was not due to anything else, but was simply caused by the fact that she hardly communicated with others.
After a brief rest, the two continued along the official road. After walking for two hours, they finally saw the towering city wall.
It was really high. Mo Cheng estimated that the city wall was almost ten feet high.
A thirty-meter-high city wall is only possible in a world with immortal cultivators.
Mo Cheng was not idle along the way, and communicated with Shen Xueqi from time to time.
It was more like Mo Cheng was trying to get information rather than communicating. Although Shen Xueqi seldom went down the mountain and set foot in human habitation, she still let Mo Cheng know a little about the situation in this world.
In this world, immortals and mortals live together, and immortals are very rare.
Some live in famous mountains and rivers, where the clouds are so deep that no one knows where they are.
Some great people hide in the city and enjoy the world.
However, although immortals are rare, immortal cultivators are not rare, and immortal cultivators are not the only ones in this world.
Many countries coexisted and kings fought for hegemony, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Hundreds of schools of thought set up academies to educate the people, striving to make their own doctrines the best in the world.
The army was filled with blood and enthusiasm, and the conquest force was as strong as ten thousand troops, condensed into one, making it invincible.
It is no exaggeration to say that a warrior can break a river and split mountains with a roar.
As for the king of a country, he is not just a rubber stamp, but a super strong man who can truly suppress the world and rule by force.
In this world, the story of a king who is so strong that he can lift mountains and whose courage can conquer the world tells the story of a king who is trying to measure the weight of the country by carrying it.
It is nonfiction, not fantasy.
However, although the king is powerful, he still has generals, ministers, and presidents of academies to restrain and counter him.
They chatted all the way to the city gate, paid the gate fee and entered the city. Along the way, both Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi looked around curiously.
Shen Xueqi rarely came down the mountain and was curious about the new environment. Mo Cheng was similar, as this was the first city he arrived in after coming to this world.
The city guards at the city gate had no intention of making things difficult for Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi. Whether it was the long sword behind Mo Cheng or Shen Xueqi's Fang Tian Hua Ji, which could be considered a weapon, it was enough to intimidate the city guards who only wanted to make a living by collecting city gate fees.
Because of the undercurrent, many people have come to the city recently. The city guards have tried to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for benefits, but those bad-tempered martial artists or small-minded cultivators have taught these people a lesson.
After entering the city, Mo Cheng planned to find an inn first. He heard from the city gate that although there was no curfew in the city at night, sleeping on the roadside was not allowed and a room was required.
Of course, if you can, there is no problem staying up all night, but the undercurrent can last for as short as three to five days or as long as ten days or half a month. No one would be willing to stay up for ten days or half a month just to save a little money.
This may be a regulation caused by undercurrents, or it may simply be an opportunity for city residents to make extra money through this regulation .
After all, whenever the undertide comes, the city operates at almost full capacity, and the rooms in the inn alone cannot meet the demand.
At this time, some local residents can tidy up their own rooms and rent them out at a price lower than the average price of the inn.
After asking a few people on the road, Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi went straight to the largest inn in the city. Although the guest rooms in the city were tight at the moment, it was like a holiday trip, and even the king-size and double rooms in five-star hotels were full.
You can also see that luxurious rooms such as the [Presidential Suite] are still empty.
"Shopkeeper, please give me two superior rooms."
