Chapter 368 Jianzhou
Chapter 368 Jianzhou
The deeper you go into Jianzhou, the more you feel the different customs.
Both the capital and Lingzhou have a bit of the ancient Central Plains. Among them, the capital is more grand, the behavior is more civilized, and the planning is more organized. Lingzhou has a more martial arts style, the behavior is more gangster, and the city is dirtier. The overall architectural style , cultural characteristics and even marriage customs, etc., the differences are not big, they all tend to be simple and solemn, and it can be seen that they belong to the same region.
If the world is divided into Kyushu, Lingzhou and Jingshi will probably both belong to Gyeonggi Province?
On the way south, I passed by the Qixuan Valley and Xuantian Sect, but didn't go deep. The Yizhou side in the west was a mess, so I won't even mention it for now.
Luzhou in the southeast has more obvious characteristics of a Jiangnan water town. It has a prosperous humanities, a relatively strong atmosphere of literature and music, and pays more attention to elegance and fineness in its architecture and food. It has sunset grass and trees, fireworks alleys, fishermen singing late, and the color tone tends to be the warm colors of soft mist and rain. breath. Under the influence of the Buddhist cultural atmosphere, the rich pink and white flavor of Qinlou Chuguan is not highlighted. Otherwise, it would be like Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Jianzhou, on the other hand, gives people a chilly feeling. The peaks are mainly gray and white, cold and steep, towering into the clouds. The architectural style and pedestrian clothing are all black and white, and people don't speak much. The feeling in the wine shop before was obviously not as lively and lively as elsewhere, it was all self-confessed. It feels more obvious when walking on the street. Pedestrians just nod and smile when they meet acquaintances, which gives people the illusion that the town is deserted. In fact, there are quite a lot of people and rich materials, especially the production of various minerals. Mostly.
The weapons are mainly swords, which are generally longer than other swords and often without sheaths. Most people gave Xue Mu a sharp and cold feeling. When there was a conflict, he would talk little nonsense to find a solution, and he would mostly use short sentences. Intertwined with snow, it looks very ancient.
Paying attention to the folk customs here, Xue Mu often said something like this in his mind: Society in Jianzhou, people are ruthless and don't talk much.
Yue Xiaochan was obviously also deeply affected, and whispered: "This is more like the first song Qianxue sang at the beginning."
Xue Mu said: "I originally thought that I went from the prosperous Central Plains to the generous land of Yanzhao, but looking at it this way, it turns out that I went from Huangyi to Gulong."
Yue Xiaochan wondered: "What and what..."
"It's nothing." Xue Mu stopped and looked at the street ahead, and whispered: "Something happened again."
Yue Xiaochan looked up and saw several swordsmen in black rushing into a martial arts gym silently. It didn't look like a normal visit. Yue Xiaochan became interested and pulled Xue Mu excitedly to the door of the martial arts hall to watch.
There was a plaque "Jianfeng Martial Arts Hall" hanging on the martial arts hall. There was a sharp sword symbol on the lower right side of the plaque. Yue Xiaochan recognized that it was the symbol affiliated with Wenjian Sect, and was even more surprised. Most people in the backstage would not dare to touch it.
At this time, in the courtyard of the martial arts hall, the people in the martial arts hall and the intruder in black faced each other in silence. Both sides were dressed in black. The face of one of the martial arts halls was somewhat angry, while the intruder looked indifferent.
After facing each other in silence for a while, the leader of the intruders finally spoke: "It's time to hand over the winter sacrifice."
The master of the martial arts hall was a big man with slightly frosty temples. Hearing this, he said solemnly: "It has always been delivered at the end of the season."
The intruder said calmly: "We should give gifts to the Sword Asking Ceremony."
The owner sneered: "I just handed in the autumn offering ten days ago, and three days ago I said it was to raise funds for the grand ceremony, so I paid another sum, and now you're still here, endlessly?"
"You don't respect the sect master?"
"The sect master never asked his disciples to give gifts."
"This is our own intention."
"My martial arts school will express it myself, and I don't need your Heavenly Sword Sect to do it for me."
"Do you suspect that our sect is using this name to engulf you privately?"
The owner defaults.
"Then let your sword speak." The intruder slowly drew out his long sword: "Perhaps your martial arts school took this challenge and upgraded it, right?"
The owner of the museum said nothing, but drew his sword to express his response.
Seeing the two people fighting together, Yue Xiaochan hugged her shoulders leisurely: "It's really a mess. It's still a righteous sect."
After not seeing Xue Mu's response for a long time, Yue Xiaochan turned around and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I was wondering why they didn't say, 'You're here', 'I'm here', 'You shouldn't have come', 'But I'm here anyway'."
"..." Yue Xiaochan said angrily: "I'm waiting for your order, do you want to intervene?"
"How to interfere? Xingyue Sect intervenes to ask about Sword Sect's internal affairs?"
"You don't have Mu Jianli's token?"
"Does the bellyband count?"
"..."
Xue Mu thought for a while, took out the six-door waist card, and strode in: "Six-door mediation, please stop for now."
Neither of them stopped, but the others looked at him sideways and spat: "Eagle Dog."
Xue Mu: "..."
Yue Xiaochan laughed so hard that she fell down.
"Why are you laughing? I'll beat them all to pieces!" Xue Mu stuffed his badge back, took out his fan, and took action himself.
Yue Xiaochan followed him leisurely, arranging the formation for him without taking any action.
These are just low-level martial arts schools and local sects. Even the leader of this "Sky Sword Sect" is only at the peak of Qi training. In fact, he is already a powerful local at this level. As for the person who came out to do business and the master of the martial arts hall, he only had Qi Hai cultivation.
Yes, it took Xue Mu a few hours to reach the level of cultivation when he came to the capital for the first time, but it might take an ordinary warrior a lifetime.
One is the shocking bug caused by the combination of Xue Mu's own poisonous body and the spiritual energy of the World-Suppressing Cauldron fragments. The other is because the level he was exposed to was too high. Xue Qingqiu personally opened his veins. In traditional martial arts, that would be I was initiated by the old man at the bottom of the cliff.
To put it bluntly, the first person he saw when he time-traveled was the BOSS he only met in the millions-word finale of other time-traveling predecessors. While others were still training in the martial arts gym and slapping him in the face, treating his domineering fellow sect member as a junior target, he was already on the bed of the final boss, thinking about how not to be hugged to death.
Therefore, Yue Xiaochan was relieved to let Xue Mu train his troops alone. Even without using the Poison Kung Fu, he was very tired from the fight. The folding fan that he usually used to show off was not easy to use in fighting. It was not very smooth. He practiced the best Kung Fu and used the top fighting skills. , with a level of cultivation far beyond that of the two swordsmen, it actually took a lot of effort to subdue the two swordsmen.
Yue Xiaochan sighed, and Xue Mu was panting. He stepped on the two of them with great shame: "Look down on the eagle dog? What do you do? You only consume resources, fight bravely, and even pay taxes for being affiliated with Wenjian. Forget it, you have done nothing for the people, and you can look down on eagles and dogs based on your hair? You can beat me? You can’t beat me either!"
This time, the two parties in the conflict came together in unity and tried to stop Xue Mu: "This six-door brother! He has something to say! He has something to say!"
A lot of great truths are said to be false, and no one cares about them at all. The last sentence "You can't beat me" is the most important. It is the law of this world that the fist has the final say. Xue Mu stopped, took a sip on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Sect Master Mu does not need to give gifts. Anyone who uses this name to scrape the ground and ruin her reputation will be careful that she skins you! Get out!"
The people from the Tianjian Sect rushed away with their heads in their arms. The martial arts master was helped up by his disciples and looked at Xue Mu strangely: "Is this head catcher a friend of Sect Master Mu?"
"So what?"
"Please catch the leader and talk to the sect leader. If this continues, let alone her reputation, the entire Wenjian Sect will become a demon, which is no different from Hengxingdao!"
Xue Mu was silent.
Others also said: "When Sect Master Lin was here, the situation was already very chaotic. Everyone thought that there would be a new atmosphere with the new Sect Master, but unexpectedly it got worse. The little girl doesn't know how to do things after all..."
"What does it have to do with her? She has only been on stage for less than a month, and it is none of her business if others take the opportunity to cause trouble?" Xue Mu said this, but suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
There is a problem with this matter. It’s not like Wenjian Sect’s Frozen Three Feet started now. The painting style has not collapsed for so long before. There is no way that the entire sect’s painting style will change drastically as soon as Mu Jianli comes on stage. I’m afraid someone might take advantage of this. During the intervening period when Wen Jian changed hands and took charge of You Chen Sui, he was deliberately causing trouble...
