My life of martial arts training

Shen Yuan glanced at the forest ahead calmly, and swung his hand as a knife.

Without the blessing of true qi, and without the assistance of shock force, the pure force alone caused countless air currents to be torn apart in an instant, and several air blades of several feet were immersed in the forest.

Boom! !

In the violent explosion, there were dozens of screams.

Shen Yuan listened to the shrill screams, rode on a strange horse, and entered the forest slowly.

He found a robber whose body was still intact, and said calmly: "Where is this in Kunlingzhou?"

The robber was a middle-aged man with a sloppy beard, his left forearm was blown off, and blood was flowing, but facing Shen Yuan's question, he endured the severe pain, knelt on the ground, and explained: "Sir... Sir, this is Tongchang City, Lezi Prefecture."

"Where are you going?" Shen Yuan asked.

"From here, walk another 180 miles and you will reach Tongchang City." The robber replied.

"What's the situation in Tongchang City?"

"Except for the city where people can still survive, the rest of the land is invaded by ferocious beasts."

"Thank you." Shen Yuan smiled and rode away on a strange horse.

The middle-aged man felt relieved. Looking at the miserable situation around him, a strong hatred appeared in his eyes.

But the next moment.

The sky suddenly turned golden, and hundreds of short guns emitting golden flames sank into the mountains and forests like a torrential rain.

"No!" The middle-aged man was unwilling.

Boom!

The mountains and forests turned into a sea of ​​fire, swallowing everything.

If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze.

Shen Yuan would never be merciful if allowed.

"Fortunately, there are kind robbers along the way, otherwise it would be troublesome to find a way." He sighed. Daxuanzhou was getting more and more chaotic. Ten out of ten houses were empty. Smaller cities were even more slaughtered. It was difficult to find someone to ask for directions.

Keep going forward.

Kunlingzhou is mountainous, with large and small mountains distributed throughout Kunlingzhou, and adjacent to the Wanling Mountains, making the beasts in Kunlingzhou extremely fierce and brutal.

Every once in a while, cities located in the mountains will encounter a beast tide.

Therefore, there are few official roads, and there are often only one or two official roads between two cities. As for small roads, few people go unless they are strong.

This also leads to the rampant bandits in Kunlingzhou, because no one will go to the dangerous mountains to suppress bandits.

However, the bandits have to face the threat of ferocious beasts, so the premise of being a robber is to find a safe camp.

······

An hour later.

Shen Yuan found that there were more pedestrians around him, including caravans, escort teams, and groups of warriors wearing leather armor.

The warriors here are basically tall and burly, almost all of them are over five feet five (1.83 meters). Shen Yuan is not noticeable among them, but looks a little short.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, they all have muscles, delicate looks, and explosive muscles, which are unique.

Due to the large number of ferocious beasts, meat here is extremely cheap, but vegetables are relatively expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.

Not only that, the salt here is a rare product. It is extremely difficult to find salt mines in the mountains.

Not only that, but people have to be arranged to mine and be on guard against ferocious beasts at all times.

Therefore, only big forces are qualified to mine salt mines.

However, these salt mines are not enough for the population of a city, so the salt in Kunlingzhou is mainly imported.

But in the current situation, no caravan dares to do import business.

Tongshan City is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The buildings cling to the mountain like parasites.

The higher you go, the more exquisite and tall the buildings are.

Shen Yuan followed the crowd into Tongchang City.

The terrain of Kunlingzhou is far more complicated than that of Daxuanzhou. With the simple map in his hand, it is easy to lose direction.

Once you lose your direction in the vast mountains, it will be difficult to find the way again.

The situation in Tongchang City is much better than that in Daxuanzhou, but it is not much better. Just like Qinghu City at the beginning, there are many gangs.

Beggars were sitting on both sides of the road begging.

But these beggars did not come forward to beg. When they looked at the warriors, their faces were obviously filled with deep fear.

Along the main road of the outer city, they came to the gate of the inner city.

After paying a penny of silver, they successfully entered the inner city.

Shen Yuan came to an inn and ordered a sumptuous meal.

Although the past two months have not been hard, eating those things every day has made my mouth taste bland.

"Master, your dishes are all here. What else do you need? The Huyang wine of our Tongling Inn is a specialty of Tongchang City. It not only tastes mellow, but also nourishes yin and kidneys."

The waiter bowed and smiled flatteringly.

"Give me a jar." Shen Yuan picked up a golden, crispy bear paw and said lightly.

"Okay."

Soon, the waiter came over with a jar of wine.

Opened the jar.

The wine was turbid in color. When poured into the cup, the wine hung on the wall, smooth as silk.

The fragrance of Huyang wine gave people a unique aroma, like the aroma of meat.

"Pah."

Three taels of silver were placed on the table.

"Answer me a few questions, and these are yours." Shen Yuan took a sip carefully. Although it was not as good as the good wine he had drunk before, it also had a unique flavor.

"You say." The waiter's eyes were slightly straight and he swallowed his saliva.

"Which two are the largest escort agencies and businesses in the city."

"Weishan Escort Agency, Tonglu Commercial Bank." The waiter said without hesitation.

"I need an accurate map. Which force do you think may have it?"

"Hmm?" The waiter pondered for a moment and said:

"The Yuan family is the most likely. They moved here 20 years ago. I heard that their hometown is quite far from Tongchang City. As for where it is, I don't know."

"This is yours. Go down." Shen Yuan said.

"Thank you, sir." The waiter left happily.

Shen Yuan was not in a hurry and enjoyed the food.

The food here is not bad, but it is a little bland. It feels like there is not much salt.

Tongchang City is a small border town. The strongest is only in the Tempering Body Realm. There is no problem in getting the map.

······

Yuan Family, meeting room.

The head of the family, Yuan Xiaohe, sat in the main seat with an ugly face.

"Master, the other three families are too bullying. They are actually working together to take over the Baishishan Salt Mine of our Yuan family." An elder of the Yuan family was red-faced and furious.

"What do you think, elders, should we do about this?" Yuan Xiaohe frowned.

"Master, I think we can use some of our background to shock the three families." The elder Yuan Hulin said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yuan Hulin.

"It has been forty years since our Yuan family moved here. In addition to the unrest in various places now, the news is blocked. As long as we act quickly, others will not suspect the Yuntai Mansion Yuan family." Yuan Hulin continued.
