Chapter 257 Ebony

Wuxi.

This place is located at the junction of Bashu, Jingchu, and Nanzhong. There are many mountains in the territory. There are obstacles in the mountains, and poisonous insects and beasts gather. It is a barren place.

therefore.

Although this place is nominally subject to the Central Plains Dynasty, it is actually completely autonomous by various barbarian tribes.

And among countless barbarian tribes,

Wuxi Mountain is as dazzling as the bright moon among the stars.

The towering mountain stands above the mountains, like a giant beast in the mountains, with a wild atmosphere, overwhelming countless mountains.

It is rumored that Wuxi Mountain was transformed from a Pangu bone ridge, which suppressed the luck of the southwest, so it can have such a weather.

So for thousands of years.

All the great shamans in southern Xinjiang settled their residence in Wuxi Mountain, and over time, this place gradually became the holy land of the barbarians' ancestral home.

Wuxi, in a cottage within the territory.

"So, the situation of these barbarians in southern Xinjiang is very complicated. On the one hand, they lead the official positions of the Central Plains Dynasty and submit to the leadership of the Central Plains Dynasty in name, but secretly there is also a spiritual leader, that is, the great shaman in the southern Xinjiang practice circle. .

Just some time ago,

With the prestige and power of one person, the great shaman recruited all the shamans in the southern border and formed an army of 3000 shamans.

It is heard that this army has also formed a coalition army with those casual cultivators in the south of the Yangtze River and the great immortal sects in the South China Sea, and they want to crusade against Nanzhao together.

Gee!

It's a pity, I heard that in the end Nanzhao used the Great Formation to Protect the Nation and summoned the projection of God Nuwa. The three coalition forces collapsed at the first touch, leaving corpses everywhere, and fled out of Nanzhao in embarrassment.

God Nuwa!
I don't know what kind of demeanor this great god is, but unfortunately I didn't go to the coalition that time, so I didn't have the chance to see it. "

Zhong Ci walked among the wooden houses with great interest, while listening to the chatter of a middle-aged casual practitioner next to him.

This casual cultivator was named Wu Muzi, and he was a companion he met on the way to southern Xinjiang.

Wu Muzi is someone who likes to make friends.

So after seeing Zhong Ci, knowing that the other party is also a practitioner, he enthusiastically approached him to make friends.

Finally, when he learned that Zhong Ci also wanted to go to southern Xinjiang, as a casual practitioner who often hangs out in southern Xinjiang, he warmly invited Zhong Ci to go with him all the way.

Since Zhong Ci was able to meet Wu Muzi on the road, he was naturally not in a hurry to go to the southern border and find the great witch hand.

So he readily agreed.

So along the way, Zhong Ci returned to the life of casual cultivators in the past. He and Wu Muzi came to the southern border from the South China Sea. The territory of Wuxi where the ancestral home of wizards in southern Xinjiang is located.

Compared with the vast territory of the Central Plains, which has nurtured countless common people, the Wuxi territory has poor mountains and rivers, and there are not many plains where food can be grown. There are also poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains as threats, so the number of barbarians is actually not large.

It is also because of the need to resist natural disasters and beasts, so the villages that can set up a gathering place in southern Xinjiang basically have a wizard sitting in the town to resist the attacks of poisonous insects and beasts as well as those terrible ghosts and monsters.

Therefore, among the various barbarian villages, even though the mountain people are extremely fierce, they are actually no strangers to matters in the spiritual world, because if they want to survive, they have to deal with strange and evil existences like wizards. .

therefore,

Even if Zhong Ci and Wu Muzhi were both wearing Taoist robes, they didn't look like people from the cottage, but like Taoist priests looking at the soil from the outside.

But none of the residents in the village were surprised by this, and some were just in awe after knowing the identities of the two monks.

and so.

Relying on this reason, the two of them easily entered the stronghold, and obtained the right to freely pass through the stronghold.

of course.

It is also undeniable that Wu Muzi knew the wizard of this village because it was not the first time he came here, and he also knew some of the mountain people here, so he was able to have such good trust and treatment.

But no matter what.

This kind of situation where monks and mortals live together is extremely rare, and it seems that this is only the case in southern Xinjiang.

In a certain way, the mountain people are actually a little more knowledgeable about the magical world of practice than the people of the Central Plains.

Among the cottages.

The two walked together, and soon under Wu Muzi's acquainted leadership, Zhong Ci took a tour of this rather large cottage.

It seems that because it is located on the border between Wuxi and the Han Dynasty, the mountain village in front of you has also shouldered the heavy responsibility of some of the Wuxi barbarians' trade with the outside world. Therefore, it relies on trade income to support a large number of people, and it has actually formed a large-scale village. A small town in the mountains with thousands of people.

Among the mountains.

A cottage can have a population of tens of thousands, which is already a great place to live.

Therefore, although the cottage in front of us is a place of barbarians, there are many Han people among them. These are businessmen who came to southern Xinjiang to trade.

Also under the influence of these merchants, although the cottage still has simple wooden houses as the main body, it has also caused some various shops, as well as inns and restaurants for people to rest.

So after visiting the cottage, Zhong Ci followed Wu Muzi's guidance to the largest inn in the cottage.

Stepped into this inn called Puxi together.

In an instant, the hustle and bustle rang in my ears.

Zhong Ci and Wu Muzi glanced around, frowning slightly.

"Is the business here so hot?" Zhong Ci looked left and right, and seeing that the hall was full of people, he couldn't help but turned to Wu Muzi and asked, "It's only noon, and there isn't even a single vacant seat. "

Wu Muzi was also a little depressed, he thought for a while, and said annoyedly: "I remembered, today is the Yuxi Conference held every three years, so there are a little more talents."

"Yuxi Conference?" Zhong Ci was a little puzzled.

"That's right, it's the Yuxi Conference." Wu Muzi nodded and explained: "The so-called Yuxi Conference is actually a large-scale official trade.

The Wuxi barbarians made an agreement with the Central Plains Dynasty. They surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty and accepted official positions. The Central Plains Dynasty also traded with them.

Therefore, according to the original agreement, every three years, the Central Plains Dynasty would organize a large-scale mutual market to exchange supplies with the Wuxi barbarians.

And now, it happens to be a three-year mutual market.

As for why it is called the Yuxi Conference, it is actually because several trading points of the mutual market are in the territory of Yuxi, so it is called that. "

Zhong Ci listened with great interest.

But stories can't be eaten as food, although he doesn't need to rely on food to maintain his physical fitness.

But since you have come to Wuxi, how can you not come to taste the local specialties?
So after seeing that there were no vacant seats on the second floor, he and Wu Muzi came to the second floor, glanced around the second floor, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

In front of him, there were two vacant seats at a table by the window.
