Infinite World Projection

Time is still passing slowly, just passing away peacefully.

The surroundings of Nine Peaks City have undergone great changes.

In just a few months, it almost changed its appearance.

It's just that for Chen Changming, these are no longer important.

Because at this moment, he is no longer in Jiufeng City, but walking on the road to a distant place.

On the deserted road, a long convoy is marching on it.

Compared with ordinary caravans, the people in this convoy are huge, and the people in it are not simply dozens of people, but hundreds of people.

Of course, in order to ensure the speed and efficiency of the team, these hundreds of people are basically mainly middle-aged men.

As for women and children, although there are also, but the number is not too many.

And in the middle of the convoy, a group of people sat upright in it.

Probably only these people.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Chen Changming in front of him, Chen Yiming said softly, Although we offered generous conditions this time, there are still very few people who are willing to follow, especially the descendants of the Chen family. not enough.

Human nature.

Sitting opposite Chen Yiming, Chen Changming spoke softly, and said, It's hard to leave our homeland. No matter how you say it, Jiufeng City is our hometown.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, who will follow us away?

Even if it's not far away.

This era is not Chen Changming's previous life.

In the previous life, there were well-developed transportation channels to choose from, even if they were separated by thousands of miles, it was only a matter of hours.

But in this world, for ordinary people, leaving their hometown almost means that they will never have a chance to come back.

Sometimes, a short distance is enough to tear people apart so that they cannot return to where they once were.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that people in this world have such strong local feelings.

Sitting on the carriage, for some reason, Chen Changming suddenly thought of Chen Qingyi.

It was the same back then.

Chen Qingyi followed Jin Ji and left, and now she doesn't know where she is.

Don't worry too much.

In front of him, Chen Yiming said softly: The place we are going this time is not too far from Jiufeng City.

Jin is also located in the barren area, but it is more prosperous, and it is not too far from the barren forest.

After we've passed, we can still come back if we want.

I know.

Looking at Chen Yiming, Chen Changming nodded to express his understanding.

Jin country is the place they chose this time.

Although it was a relocation, some members of the Chen family were relocated, but due to traffic restrictions, it was impossible for them to leave too far.

If it is too far away, a few people are okay, but most of the ordinary tribesmen can't bear it and can't keep up.

So in order to take care of those ordinary people, they should not move too far.

The state of Jin is just right.

This is one of the few countries near Jiufeng City, and it can be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous place around.

In previous years, there were many caravans from the Jin Kingdom in Jiufeng City, who came to make various purchases.

In the past, the Chen family also sent many clansmen to the state of Jin to do some small business there.

It is convenient for Chen Changming and his party to go to Jin Kingdom.

That kid Zide has already arrived in the state of Jin. If there is no accident, the arrangements have been made now, just wait for us to go there.

Looking at Chen Changming, Chen Yiming said softly, When the time comes, I will depend on you, Changming.

I see.

Chen Changming nodded, expressing his understanding.

For this trip, Chen Changming's presence was undoubtedly the top priority.

He is not only an alchemist, but also the most powerful person in the entire Chen family.

This time the Chen family expanded to the Jin country, and whether they could gain a firm foothold in the Jin country largely depended on Chen Changming.

Sitting there, Chen Yiming pondered for a moment, then said a lot of things, and discussed with Chen Changming what to do next.

Time passed so slowly.

Half a month passed quickly.

For more than half a month, there were not many twists and turns along the way.

There were so-called robbers and the like, but they did not pose any threat to Chen Changming and his party.

Not to mention Chen Changming, but Chen Yiming himself was enough to solve the little troubles along the way.

Those accidents encountered on the road were just a small episode at all, not a trouble.

In this way, time passed slowly.

Soon, Chen Changming and his party arrived outside a city.

Are you there?

Walking from the carriage, Chen Changming turned around and looked at the city in front of him.

Compared with Jiufeng City, the city in front of me looks very old, but the city walls are taller and more majestic.

But in contrast, the surrounding soldiers looked a little weak and lazy.

Of course, it is said to be weak, but it is actually compared with the soldiers around Jiufeng City.

Due to the disputes in Jiufeng City, there are incidents happening around it from time to time, so the defense is quite strict. Although the city walls and the like are not as perfect as the city in front of us, the soldiers in it generally have some martial arts training.

And in the city in front of him, the soldiers stationed there looked lazy and looked like ordinary people.

“Surely a place of peace”

Observing the surroundings silently, this thought flashed through Chen Changming's mind.

After observing for a while, he already had a general impression of the city in front of him, so he turned around and followed Chen Yiming into the city.

In the cities, they have no shortage of places to live.

Long before they left, Chen Zide had already taken a step forward and arrived in the Kingdom of Jin.

At this moment in it, he has already prepared a residence, and Chen Changming and others only need to live in it directly.

That night, the three of them sat in the room and discussed in it.

The price of goods in Huajin City is really high. Just the money to buy this house is enough to buy three of the same house in Jiufeng City.

Sitting in the room, looking at Chen Changming and the two in front of him, Chen Zide complained.

After all, it is a prosperous place in the Jin Kingdom, so it's normal for the price to be a bit expensive.

Chen Yiming nodded. He had no doubts about this question, but continued to ask: In other respects, do you have any news?

No idea at the moment.

Chen Zide shook his head and said, However, there are many dignitaries in Huajin City. We are newcomers, so let's buy some property first and gain a firm foothold.

However, I heard a piece of news recently.

He thought for a while, and then said: The Taiyuan seems to be recruiting disciples, and anyone under the age of 30 can sign up.

oh?

Hearing this, Chen Yiming's eyes lit up immediately: What's the situation?

What else could it be?

Chen Zide smiled: It's probably just to charge an extra tuition fee.

Probably not that simple.

Chen Yiming shook his head, and then said, However, this is an opportunity.

Chang Ming, what do you think?

He looked at Chen Changming at the side and asked.

You can take a look.

Chen Changming naturally understood what Chen Yiming meant, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, Besides me, Zide should also try.

There are also some outstanding children of the Chen family, you can also try it.

If you can go in, it's a good opportunity.

The so-called Taiyuan is an official institution of the Jin State, and a large number of princes and princes have gathered in it.

Many children from aristocratic families, even outstanding children from the royal family, all studied in the Taiyuan, where they learned literature and martial arts.

In a way, this is actually a gilded place.

The teaching of martial arts in it is second to none, the most important thing is that there are a large number of children from aristocratic families, even the royal family.

If ordinary people study in it, the people they meet will naturally be high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which can bring great benefits to the future.

This is the benefit of entering the Taiyuan.

Now that the Chen family has just arrived, it is blank in all aspects. If someone from the family can enter it, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit in the future.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Yiming and the two are so concerned.

Have you inquired about the conditions for getting in?

Looking at Chen Zide, Chen Yiming continued to ask: It's okay if you just need to spend money, no matter how high it is, you can still get it.

In this regard, he has a strong self-confidence.

The Chen family's power was not weak in the first place, even if it was placed in the Jin country, it could be regarded as a powerful party, and it definitely belonged to the aristocratic family.

What's more, now that the Chen family has unified the entire area of ​​Jiufeng City and brought all the forces of the other clans into their own ranks, their strength has become stronger and stronger.

In this process, the accumulation of the other clans over the years naturally returned to the Chen family.

So at this moment, Chen Yiming had the confidence to say this.

It's not about the money.

Looking at Chen Yiming, Chen Zide shook his head, and frowned at this moment: I tried to inquire before, but I didn't find anything.

I just heard that what kind of exam is going to be taken?

take an exam?

Hearing this, Chen Yiming couldn't help but frowned: Is it a test of martial arts, or something else?

If it is a test of martial arts, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

The Chen family passed on martial arts to their families, and their clan members practiced martial arts since childhood, so they will not be afraid of anyone in this respect.

Especially Chen Changming.

For Chen Changming, Chen Yiming has strong confidence.

Even though in Huajin City, there are far more strong people than near Jiufeng City, but in his opinion, Chen Changming's strength must be at the top, not inferior to others.

But if the test is not about martial arts, but other things, it will be very embarrassing.

Chen Yiming has confidence in Chen Changming's martial arts and alchemy, but not necessarily in other aspects.

I don't know yet, I can only inquire more later.

Facing Chen Yiming, Chen Zide shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

In the room, they chatted word by word for a long time.

After a while, Chen Changming came out of the room and walked out alone.

In addition to coming to Huajin City, he felt very strange to everything in Huajin City.

But that's all right.

Before coming out, Chen Yiming had considered this situation, so he specially assigned a few guides to Chen Changming.

These guides are all members of the Chen family. They used to come to this area for business, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

My lord, where do you want to go?

Looking at Chen Changming, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a rather auspicious face said quickly, with a smile on his face: The villain is most familiar with this area, if you have any places you want to go, please tell me.

Beside him, there was another person standing. Seeing the middle-aged man taking the lead, he gave him a glaring look, and then walked up to Chen Changming with a smile on his face.

Ancient Music Square

Chen Changming glanced at them, and then said a place name: Do you know where it is?

Ancient Music Square?

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Changming in surprise, but then nodded: I know, I know, it's a good place to have fun.

Fun?

Chen Changming frowned, but he didn't say anything, and let them lead the way.

Soon, he left the mansion in front of him and slowly walked out.

Not long after, he came to a busy street.

On both sides of the street, there are various small stalls everywhere, but they are not ordinary stalls, but gambling stalls.

All around, a person shouted on it, shouting in various ways that Chen Changming could understand but not understand, while placing his own chips.

Seeing how lively they are, they seem to be very happy.

Chen Changming's face gradually became strange, and at this moment he suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

This neighborhood is full of these things?

Looking at the two guides in front of him, he said with a strange expression.

right.

The faces of the two guides were full of smiles: This is a good place to have fun.

Young master, if you want to play two games, the villain can take you to some better places.

No.

Chen Changming waved his hand: Come with me for a walk.

After the words fell, the two guides were a little strange, but they didn't say anything.

They continued to move forward, walking slowly.

While walking, Chen Changming was also observing his surroundings.

As the two guides said, there were dense shouts everywhere, and it looked like it was basically used for some entertainment.

Occasionally, through his own keen senses, Chen Changming could even hear some soft groans, like a woman's hasty cry.

Looking at it this way, this place is not only for gambling, but also pornography.

Did I come to the wrong place?

Sensing everything around him, Chen Changming shook his head secretly. At this moment, this thought flashed through his mind.

The reason why he came here was because of the guidance of the map.

Before Jin Ji left, he had told Chen Changming all the information he had.

Jin Ji begged for immortality, although he did not have the aptitude to be close to immortality, but after all his lifelong pursuit, he still gained something.

These were handed over to Chen Changming by him before he left.

Before that, Chen Changming also obtained some information from Qi Jing, including some clues about the near-immortal.

Among them, the place in front of you is included.

According to what Qi Jing said, in the ancient music workshop in Huajin City, there should be a branch of a certain cultivator sect called Qijuemen.

From the Seven Absolute Gates, some information can be obtained.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Changming came here on purpose.

But now it seems that Chen Changming doubts whether he has found the wrong place.

Walking on the road, Chen Changming barely suppressed his thoughts and continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, he paused and looked aside.

On the side, there is an iron door in it, and on the door, an inexplicable mark emerges on it.

It was a mark like a black lotus, with some other subtle textures mixed in it. At first glance, it looked like a complex black lotus, very delicate and unique.

Looking at the black lotus mark, Chen Changming's footsteps paused, and then he spoke softly.

What's behind this door?

Looking at the two guides at the side, he spoke softly.

have no idea.

Standing beside Chen Changming, the middle-aged guide shook his head, and then continued: However, it must be some gambling houses, at most they are more secretive and quiet.

Looking at the iron gate in front of him, he said indifferently.

Casinos also have grades.

Like those swaggeringly and directly placed there before, the grade is undoubtedly relatively low.

And some high-end gambling houses are often more secretive, quiet, and safe.

In his opinion, this is nothing more than this.

Is that so?

Listening to the middle-aged guide's words, Chen Changming nodded, then walked forward slowly, and then pushed.

To Chen Changming's surprise, in front of his eyes, the iron door was directly pushed open by him, and it was not as solid and tight as imagined.

It looked like it was open.

Push the iron door open, and there is an aisle, and there are rows of rooms.

Standing where he was, Chen Changming could feel the breath of someone inside.

However, there was no sound around it.

Feeling this, Chen Changming felt certain, and then continued to move forward.

Following the aisle in front of him, he walked all the way forward, slowly walking to the end of the aisle.

Not long after, he came outside a shop.

Above the shop, a large plaque was placed there.

Seven musts.

Looking at the handwriting on the door plaque, Chen Changming calmed down and spoke softly.

Is it so fair and aboveboard?

At this time, he also understood that he probably found the right owner this time.

So, he asked the two guides to wait outside, and walked in directly by himself.

As he walked into it, a unique sense of coolness came from all around, making people feel gloomy.

There didn't seem to be much popularity around, and there was an inexplicable tide rising around, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Chen Changming didn't care about this, he just turned around and looked at a corner aside.

There, he saw a man.

It was an old man in a black robe, with a thin body, just sitting there, holding a pen in his hand, and kept writing there.

By the looks of it, he was very busy.

The place where he stayed was very dark, and if it was an ordinary person, he might ignore him in a short while, or even be startled by him.

But to Chen Changming, this is naturally nothing.

Is there another guest?

Sitting in that corner, he seemed to sense Chen Changming's arrival. The old man slowly put down the pen in his hand, looked outside in some surprise, and fixed his eyes on Chen Changming.

PS: I have been salted for too long, and the code words seem so difficult.

No more salty tomorrow!
