Chapter 398 Gathering in Shaoxing
Shaoxing.
I remember that the last meeting was in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but this time Shaoxing is an ancient border town.
Hundreds of years of historical accumulation have created Shaoxing a veritable historical and cultural city.
Every street and every alley seems to record the traces of the times and tell ancient stories.
Li Pingan walked slowly, and people on the street came from behind.
Leave him far behind, except for some porters with buns on their backs.
Carrying a back clip, hanging sweaters on the chest, carrying abductees in the hands, and wearing ankle boots on the feet.
The body is bent into a bow shape, slowly and firmly towards the distance, moving forward step by step.
They walked very slowly, though only a few steps.
But it gives people a heavy sense of oppression, which makes people feel breathless.
Runtu looked at the group of porters curiously, and asked Li Pingan why they didn't use mules, horses, or cows.
Why do you have to carry such a heavy thing on your back?
Li Pingan knocked on its head, "Why don't you eat minced meat?"
"Ok?"
Runtu blinked suspiciously.
I don't understand, what does the elder brother mean by this sentence?
.........
"Come on, two jugs of wine, a roast leg of lamb, chicken with a belly, a plate of cooked beef... and two cold dishes, and the rest will be brought to you if you have any special features."
In the restaurant, Li Pingan greeted the buddy while throwing out some money.
The guy readily agreed.
Before the dishes were served, the waiter brought melon seeds and peanut tea first.
The tea in the frontier fortress is really not very delicious, it has an earthy taste and is astringent.
Li Pingan squeezed the peanut with his fingertips, and took a light bite.
Hmm~ The peanut taste is not bad.
They made an appointment to meet at this inn, and there were still three days before the agreed time.
Li Pingan asked for an upper room in a detached courtyard, which is located in the south of the backyard.
There is a guest room on each side, one empty and the other empty.
In the middle of the night, Li Pingan opened the house.
The old cow flipped back and came in from the yard.
Li Pingan contemplated and settled down, and let go of his breath.
Bring this ancient town of Shaoxing into his surveillance range.
The current [Breath Lock] is very different from before. When I first acquired this skill, it took a while to activate it. It can't last for a long time, and the scope is very limited.
But now, it has almost become a passive skill.
The energy consumed is not as fast as the tortoise's breathing exercise.
Even if you fall into a state of visualization, you can maintain a certain range.
To prevent a sudden attack by bad guys.
In the middle of the moon, apart from the sound of watchmen, there are only a few crickets in the ancient town.
"Ok?"
Li Pingan's thoughts moved slightly.
He sensed that a powerful monk had stepped into the town, but he didn't stop there, but went straight to the north.
Originally, this matter was not worthy of Li Pingan's attention.
But soon, several auras appeared again.
They all pass through this place, some people pass by the sky, and some people use earth escape
The means are different, but they all go north.
Li Pingan couldn't help being a little curious, why did they all go north.
Although curious, I didn't investigate too much.
It's none of your business anyway.
The three days passed quickly, and Li Pingan drank and listened to ditties.
When the appointed day came, Monk Changqing and Jing Yu were nowhere to be seen.
It can be noticed that these days, many monks with high cultivation bases pass by here and go north.
This made Li Pingan even more curious.
A few days later, Chang Qing and Jing Yu still hadn't arrived.
Maybe something was delayed.
I felt a little bored staying in the inn all day, so I left a word for the shopkeeper of the inn.
If Changqing and Jing Yu come, let them wait here for me.
So he took Lao Niu and Runtu to the north to watch the excitement.
After passing Shaoxing, there is Wuhu Fort in Luzhou.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this ancient castle is condescending and has three towers.
The terrain is excellent, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
With this as a base, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
Wuhu Castle belongs to the Lu family in Luzhou. Since the previous dynasty, the ancestors of the Lu family were appointed by the imperial court to rule Luzhou because of their meritorious service in pacifying Luzhou.
In recent years, although dynasties have changed, due to the high mountains and dangerous roads in Luzhou, it is located in a remote place.
In addition, the Lu family's influence is deeply rooted in Luzhou, and they have always been very obedient to the imperial court.
There are also a lot of taxes and corvees for being a minister and paying tribute.
Therefore, the Lu family's dominance in Luzhou has always been recognized by the court.
In the local area, it is equivalent to the emperor of the earth, with great power.
However, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Since Liu Yun came to the throne, in order to win people's hearts, not only rewarded the Lu family, but also exempted Lu Zhou's taxes many times.
"Five Tigers Fort?"
Runtu raised his head and looked at the big characters on the fortress.
At the gate of the city, soldiers were checking the caravans and people coming in and out.
Li Pingan opened his eyes, and there were many people with strong aura coming and going.
Runtu looked around curiously.
The surrounding area was extremely lively, almost filling up a whole street.
"Ahhhhh!!"
"Run."
At this time, there was an exclamation.
A dozen or so monks came swaggeringly from not far away, followed by a giant python.
The giant python spat out its letter and stared at the surrounding people covetously.
The soldiers standing on both sides were unwilling to intervene and did not move.
Li Pingan went to the tea stand on the side of the road and asked for a pot of tea.
While drinking tea, he asked the people next to him about the situation.
"Old man, what's going on here? Why are there so many people here?"
The old man drinking tea looked at Li Pingan, "You don't know such a big thing?"
"Please tell me all the time."
Li Pingan offered tea with a smile.
The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked behind Li Ping'an in surprise.
I saw the giant python behind the pair of male and female monks, suddenly flicked its giant tail, and swept towards the crying children by the side of the road.
