Chapter 9 What is Jianghu
From Fuzhou City, you will walk northwest all the way, and Chang'an is convenient to a distance of 3,400 miles.
Outside Chang'an City, Zhongnan Mountain is located.
Horses and mules are not as good as real horses. Although they look like them, they are inferior to those of horses in terms of strength and speed. They carry Li Ding and travel at most 200 miles a day.
There is only one station outside the city every thirty miles.
In addition, Li Ding did not just rush the road and needed to practice halfway through, so he only walked 120 miles a day, and stopped to rest when he arrived at the inn.
Although it was slow, he was not in a hurry after learning about the time flow rate between the Jigong World and the Swordsman World.
In this way, after walking for half a month, I never arrived in Chang'an.
"Dadada..."
On this day, Li Ding rode a horse and mule to another inn.
"Waiter, come and take the mules and horses to feed them some forage."
When he arrived at the gate of the inn, before the waiter could get out of the inn, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and shout. The waiter, who was listening to the sound, quickly accelerated to walk out of the inn, and smiled and took the reins from the dusty Li Ding's hand, and took the mule and horse to the backyard to feed the grass.
Li Ding looked around and saw a circle of wooden fences at the entrance of the station, covered with gravel, and a railing in front was hanging on a cloth with the word "Online" on it, behind it were several thatched cottages, and two vegetable fields, surrounded by woods.
Along the way, he took the official road specifically, so this place is spacious. However, compared with his previous life, although it was an official road, it also felt like a scenic spot and homestay.
Walking into the station, a short and fat man stood at the counter. There were already many pedestrians passing by in the lobby on the first floor of the station.
"Shopkeeper, come to a guest room and order wine and food."
He took out a ingot of silver and placed it on the counter, and Li Ding said to the shopkeeper.
"Customer, there are many people today, and there is only one room left. Look..."
The shopkeeper nodded, flipped through the notebook on the counter, leaving only the room.
"It's okay to get off the room. Give me some good wine and food. I'll continue to rush tomorrow."
Hearing that there was only one room left, Li Ding couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He had thought that it was difficult to travel in ancient times, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He rode a horse and mule for more than a hundred miles, carrying a knife and carrying an arrow. Even if his body was successful in martial arts, he would inevitably feel exhausted after half a month.
Fortunately, he has the power to protect himself. Although he feels tired in spirit, his body does not feel tired.
After applauding the food and food, Li Ding sat in the empty seat on the first floor, waited for the food and food to come, took a sip, and called the waiter to beside him.
"I'm sorry, I'm busy with my second brother. I don't know if there is anything nearby. I can say anything."
Now it is not as good as before. If he accidentally stepped into a place where some evil people entrenched, even if he was a man, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Therefore, whenever I go to a station and ask the waiter about the local situation, it has become Li Ding's habit.
"Since the guest asked, the young man told the truth. There is a wine shop 10 miles south from here. You can't go. The owner is from the green forest and specializes in making a living by human flesh."
The waiter collected the silver ounces, tried the authenticity, and put it in his pocket with satisfaction. Finally, he pressed down his waist. At the end, he even held his ear next to Li Ding and spoke softly.
"Oh, how many people are there in that restaurant, and how is the martial arts skills?"
Li Ding, holding the wine glass, tightened his right hand and asked in a low voice.
Listening to Li Ding’s question, the waiter was a little confused, but after weighing the money in his pocket, he still spoke:
"Five or six guys, mainly the shopkeeper and his wife, have good sword skills. Three or five men are not close to each other. They are specialized in picking men who travel far away, taking some sweat and medicine, but they have never missed their hands."
"Oh, thank you, my second brother. I don't know if there is anything else I want to mention."
Li Ding raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
"Hey, the Caojiazhuang master took another concubine. It was so beautiful that he drooled. It was said that this concubine had spent 300 taels of silver."
The waiter straightened his waist and said casually. Li Ding understood and asked about the direction of Chang'an. After confirming that he was not wrong, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave and eat the wine and food on his own.
After he was full of wine and food, he stretched out and asked the waiter for hot water, and then returned to the room.
"In another half a month, Chang'an will arrive."
After washing with hot water, Li Ding moved his muscles and bones in the room and roughly estimated the distance.
Then he asked the waiter to take down the kettle, close the doors and windows, sit cross-legged on the bamboo bed, and start practicing.
The heat flow in the body has expanded rapidly in the past half month, with feet large and small as the thickness of arms.
[Qi Lifting Technique] One of the three meridians involved has been completely opened, and the dirt road has been opened into a hard soil road. The speed of internal force flow has also increased greatly and is moving towards the second meridian.
Without the rest of the people refer to it, [Qi-enhancing Technique] is an unknown ordinary skill. Li Ding didn't know whether his progress was fast or slow.
However, the internal strength at this time was enough to support him in the battle.
Li Ding, who had been practicing until late at night and when the world was quiet, opened his eyes again.
Squinted his eyes and looked at the south.
"Human flesh business."
A breath of turbid air was slowly exhaled from his mouth, and Li Ding lifted up the Park Knife leaning against the wall, put on the long sheathed knife, and quietly jumped out of the room.
As the internal force surged, Li Ding's body was as light as a cat and as fast as a geese. He hid in the night and quickly ran towards the wine shop in Xiaoer's mouth.
In the wilderness, there is a human meat shop that specializes in traveling far away. Logically speaking, since Li Ding has already found out in advance, the restaurant has nothing to do with him. He just needs to avoid that place and go, and walk his own way. There is no need to worry about him.
However, when you have no strength, you choose to retreat when you encounter something, and if you still choose to retreat when you have strength, what is the meaning of gaining strength?
He was disgusted with such beasts in his heart, so he naturally killed them if he wanted to.
If you are in the world, then be a man from the world. Wouldn’t it be a happy person?
Besides, if you can still become famous after killing, why not do it?
Having a name is equivalent to having a signature and identity in this world. In the future, no matter what, it will be much more convenient for you to do things.
I sneaked all the way and soon found a wine shop ten miles away.
He sneaked into the wine shop quietly, and did not rush to attack the sleeping wine shop staff, but groped around until he found a cellar.
I lit the torch and explored, and after a moment, I walked out with a gloomy face.
"puff……"
Extinguishing the torch, Li Ding walked into a bunk with Park Knife.
After a while, I walked out of the bunk bed and found a tall and big couple sleeping on the bed in a room.
"who!"
The movement of opening the door woke the couple up. When Li Ding was stained with blood from the blade, he was shocked and stood up to resist, but in the end he was only able to fight.
Several sounds of swords colliding, and two heads fell to the ground.
After dealing with the last two, Li Ding's anger was relieved a little. Then he opened the door of the heavens, and the Black Wind Village troops walked out of it and moved away all the valuable things in the wine shop.
Then he left a crime and signed it with Li Shan Palm Li Ding, washed the Pu Dao, returned to the station silently, and fell asleep peacefully.
