My Cultivation Has Deteriorated

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. The black wind hu hu outside the house keeps blowing, and from time to time there is the sound of wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.

Meng Xia and Yuan Yuan were very vigilant, and both resisted the urge to go out and explore.

In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight hit the ground, the black wind that set off countless winds and clouds last night disappeared suddenly, as if it had never appeared before.

But to Meng Xia's surprise, Inn didn't have much discussion about black wind, instead, all of them seemed to be okay.

You should eat, eat, he he, it seems that the black wind last night did not exist.

"Guest, the mutton soup you want has arrived, please use it slowly!"

The shopkeeper came up with the mutton soup and was about to leave. Meng Xia stopped him directly.

However, Meng Xia hasn't spoken yet, but Xiao Er directly predicted Meng Xia's problem.

He glanced at all around and suppressed his voice very low.

"Little brave, I would like to advise you two. Regarding what happened last night, it is best not to ask, not to explore, and not to chase. This is the most basic survival wisdom of Jizhou."

p>

The shop Xiaoer looked up and saw that no one was paying attention, which was cautiously said.

"There were many Martial Artists from other places who did not believe in evil, but they all disappeared. Once a powerful Martial Artist said that those who do not exist are most suitable, when you are trying to pursue... .Those will find you in turn..."

"The little ones have said too much, I can’t say any more, the little ones..."

Meng Xia arched his hands and silently handed a piece of silver to the shop's second child.

"Thank you little brother for reminding me. I have written down what you said. If you encounter it in the wild, what should I do?"

Dian Xiaoer hesitated and looked at the silver , Suddenly smiled, and tucked it into his sleeves skillfully.

After thinking and thinking, he cautiously said, "Last night that didn't show up very often. If you have to hurry, you'd better calculate the itinerary. Once it gets dark, it's safest to stay in the city."

"If you really can't live in the city, you'd better dig a pit and bury yourself. Don't look, don't listen, don't say...Sorry, I can't talk about it anymore!"

Meng Xia handed over to express his gratitude, the shop Xiaoer relaxed, and ran to the back kitchen.

Meng Xia and Yuan Yuan looked at each other, then stopped exploring, and silently finished what they were holding.

Continue on the road, all the way to the direction of Qiao County.

The closer you are to Qiao County, the more barren the land is.

Often there are thousands of miles away, and there are no people in sight.

The land is barren, only small sparse mounds can be seen, and the wind and sand are even stronger.

It is often windy together, it is the dust in the sky.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but I didn't encounter black wind again during the journey.

1 month later.

The two finally arrived near Qiao County, and Hajime felt a different majestic atmosphere as soon as he arrived at Meng Xia.

Different from the desolation of Jizhou as a whole, there is a majestic mountain that can span thousands of miles.

I don't know if it is because Jizhou is too desolate, so all the grace of Jizhou is concentrated on this sacred mountain.

At a glance, there are lush greenery, lingering aura, flying birds, fairy apes climbing peaks, with endless vitality.

As for World's Essence Qi, it is extremely rich.

Anyone who sees it can't help but say "Holy Land".

After observing for a period of time, Meng Xia found that there is a big city on the top of the mountain. The city is majestic, the city wall is tall, and it has an unimaginable sense of majesty.

Meng Xia knows that this is the most important military town in Dali Jizhou, which is the "Dingbian Town" of the western fortress of Daliji.

To the west of the mountain range is the fortress Xiongcheng of Dajing, and to the north is Youyun’s reign.

The place where the Three Kingdoms of Dali, Dajing, and Youyun are sandwiched in the middle is the most famous battlefield of the Xiaowanzu in Jizhou.

It is also the "God and Devil Fallen Land" often referred to by the Ten Thousand Clan!

It’s very small on the map, and it’s actually not big, but it’s vast.

Because the laws here are disordered.

First of all, the means of overwhelming majority flying through the skies or escaping through the ground are useless;

Secondly, there are many kinds of subspaces. A small puddle may be a vast ocean; a small mound may be a big mountain.

Finally, this small battlefield has a lot of Transmission Formation, even if it does not go through the Human Race land, it can be entered directly through the outside Transmission Formation.

So, this place has become a gathering place for ten thousand races.

Of course, the Zhisuoqiao County of Meng Xia is not on the sacred mountain, but within the three-regardless place sandwiched by the Three Kingdoms.

It can be regarded as a bridgehead far away from the land of the gods and demons!

When Meng Xia arrived in Qiao County, he had a specific initial impression of Qiao County.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Jizhou Land, here is not desolate, it can even be regarded as rich.

But compared with other state capitals in Beijing, this place is too barren.

As for the sacred mountain behind and Dingbian, this place is simply not a place for people to live.

Although there are many green plants, most of them are low.

World's Essence Qi is also very thin, not only a little bit worse than Yang Mountain Fortress.

As for the river, there is only a small moat that is almost silted, and the river is no more than 50 meters wide.

In a previous life, a moat of fifty meters wide, perhaps not bad.

But in this world, fifty meters wide, it really can only protect a loneliness, not much different from no.

Not to mention, this river is half silted.

From a distance, there is only a lonely town.

It is said to be a county seat, but in fact it is more like a small town with a population of 20,000.

The city wall is extremely dilapidated, and I don’t know how long it has not been repaired, and it has been eroded by the years everywhere is mottled.

As for the city gate, it is even more broken.

The old wood of the city gate is decayed and seems to collapse on its own at any time.

On the city wall and city gate, only a few lazy veterans were stationed.

As for the weapons in his hands, they are even more rusty.

Seeing this, Meng Xia couldn't help frowning.

Is there really a need for such a bridgehead?

Meng Xia entered the city, and the guards didn't mean to look after them. They just took a nap each minding their own business.

Meng Xia was extremely disappointed.

The city gate allows people to come in and out at will. What is the point of the soldiers guarding the city?

If it were elsewhere, Meng Xia would be too lazy to be nosy.

But from now on, he is the County Magistrate here, so naturally I have to ask.

Meng Xia jumped up in one step and appeared directly on the city wall.

Several soldiers were shocked, and quickly stood up and looked at Meng Xia who was ascending to the city vigilantly.

Seeing that Meng Xia is Human Race, with a bolder beard, this is the vigilant cup one fist in the other hand and salutes.

"Dare to ask the adults what do you need small services?"

Meng Xia frowned, "You are a soldier and shoulder the responsibility of defending the city. Why are you so lazy? Is there an enemy here, waiting to die?"

The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, but then they knew it, and they also had a rough guess about the identity of Meng Xia.

"My lord, you should be a Martial Dao genius from the middle of China, right?"

Meng Xia does not fake the color, "What does this have to do with your negligence?"

Bearded said with a bitter smile, "My lord, in the middle is the Human Race world. My Human Race is Unparalleled Beneath The Heavens. But here is the Converging Ground of all races, and there is no expert willing to sit in town, even if there is a city. I can't keep it!"

Meng Xia brows tightly frowns, "If you don't guard, what about the foreign enemy's invasion?"

Bearded: "My lord, Qiao County is too poor , There is almost no value of aggression. In addition, it is not far from the edge of Xiongcheng, even if foreigners arrive, generally they would not choose to plunder. In addition, there is a rumors of a Heaven and Earth bridge here, and from time to time geniuses of thousands of races come over, they They even rent private houses and hire private husbands here to bring some income to the locals!"

Meng Xia is speechless.

Is this completely flat?

As long as you are poor enough, no one will make a fortune?

Meng Xia feels absurd!

However, specific analysis of the specific issues, if the Wanzu really does not deliberately make troubles, Meng Xia would not bother to change anything.

He came here to look for the foundation of the Heaven and Earth Bridge and Human Race instead of being an official here.

"There are always some of the ten thousand races who are very hostile to Human Race, what about them?"

The beard was silent for a long time and sighed, "Then you can only admit that you are unlucky. , Qiao County is too small and barren, not suitable for garrison, can only be encircled and suppressed by the generals from Dingbian City afterwards..."

"Because most of the people who came here are the Heaven and Earth Bridge has ideas. Therefore, the overwhelming majority are genius-level figures, and these geniuses are basically more...faces!"

Meng Xia is speechless.

It would be too sad to expect others to have a face in life and death.

"Tell me about shameless things!"

Bearded thought for a while, "Ten years ago, there was an old ghost from the embarrassed tribe. He was too old. Basically There is no hope of breakthrough. So I came to Bridge County to try one's luck, hoping to find the Heaven and Earth Bridge in Bridge County. He lived here for three months, and then gave the rich family property surnamed Chen to eat!"

"...and ruined Chen Family's innocent daughters. Fearing that things would be revealed, the old man killed everyone in Chen Family, only one child The maid escaped unexpectedly!"

"This little maid was very young, about nine years old, and half a year later, she gave birth to an evil species..."

" Seven years ago, a pig head from the fire dolphin family sneaked into Qiao County. It is said that he lost all clansman in the battle for the Gods and Demons, so he fled to Qiao County in embarrassment. In order to get revenge, he chose those unremarkable. He was killed by the Human Race, so it was not discovered for a long time. After the discovery, hundreds of people even died in his hands. Afterwards, the Great Demon was strangled by the Dingbian army, and the whole city ate its meat!"

"Four years ago, an evil demon lurked into Qiao County and quietly eaten hundreds of people. Finally, it was accidentally smashed by County Magistrate and suppressed and killed!"

" Three years ago..."

Meng Xia heard the eyelids tú tú, people living in Qiao County were too miserable!

Meng Xia took a deep breath and asked, “Where’s County Magistrate? The official seal of County Magistrate can monitor the city, so it won’t be discovered until hundreds of people have died?”

The bearded chattering.

"The county lord is also very busy. Apart from cultivation and cultivation, he is naturally too busy!"

A man with a broken arm next to a man with a broken arm is agitated and seems to want What to say, but forcibly held back several times.

Meng Xia looked towards the man with the broken arm and said, "If you have something to say!"

The man with the broken arm looked at Meng Xia, and finally sighed and said, "My lord, You should come from Heaven's Chosen outside Jizhou, maybe you are a new County Magistrate..."

Meng Xia is unexpected.

This man with a broken arm has some knowledge!

The man with the broken arm said with a bitter smile, "My lord, there is no room for dreams in the rich places in Qiao County that are not as rich as those in other places. My lord, do you know how my arm broke?"

Meng Xia raised her eyebrows, "Say something straight."

The man with a broken arm, "Is the current County Magistrate. He has dreams and tries to do his best. County Magistrate is also a good official. I didn’t speak for three months, and carefully investigated the bit by bit of Qiao County. 3 months later, the county’s master has amazed the world with a single brilliant feat, and directly uncovered a lot of crimes lurking in the city!"

Meng Xia thinks.

If you think so, this County Magistrate has the patience and patience, and it is indeed a person.

The man with the broken arm said with a bitter smile, "In the beginning, we all didn’t care about the county respect, because the lessons in the past were too profound."

"Qiao County is a poor The county has almost nothing. Don’t say it’s an adult from a wealthy area or a local resident. Anyone who has some ability will do everything possible to move out. If you can stay, there is almost no way at all, you can only spend a day in Qiao County. Count one day."

"As for the County Magistrate in Qiao County, either a genius from outside, came to find the legendary Heaven and Earth Bridge. Or he offended who and was sent to this bitter place."

"Looking for the geniuses of the Heaven and Earth Bridge generally takes a long period of one or two years. As for the powerless and powerless who are sent here, they will either slowly lose their fighting spirit or quickly Killed."

"The most indispensable thing in Qiao County is County Magistrate, which is changed for almost a year or two. Occasionally, there are a few talents who see Qiao County’s difficulties and make every effort to manage it, hoping to change Qiao County. ."

"In the beginning, everyone believed it too."

"If you encounter a genius who has come to experience it, you may be able to wipe out the entire Qiao County in just a few days. Let Qiao County The atmosphere is very exciting, no evil monster dares to make trouble."

"But geniuses are destined not to stay in Bridge County for a long time. Once they fail to find the Heaven and Earth Bridge, they will leave within a year or two. So , Those dormant evil monsters will return in a swirl of dust!"

"It stands to reason that our people in Qiao County will not believe in the county honor. But this county honor is different. He gave up being promoted. The opportunity to make a fortune has been unprecedented in Qiao County for more than three years."

"So, we all began to believe in the county, and cooperate with him to make efforts."

"But one year Earlier, a demon wolf that had escaped from the land of the gods and demons attacked, and the county lord led all our guards to fight."

"In that battle, the demon wolf crushed the county’s protective shield with one claw. Array. The guards were killed and injured, and the county lord himself was seriously injured and near death."

"Fortunately, at a critical moment, the general of Dingbian city came and beheaded demon wolf. The general beheaded the wolf and passed it down. First, the entire gods and demons fell to the ground, shocking all Martial Artists, and Qiaoxian restored stability!"

"But after this battle, the county was hit hard, and since then it has become depressed and decadent. Of course, The fighting spirit of the county lord has been extinguished, and the hearts of the people in Qiao County."

"Qiao County only needs to maintain the original state. There is no need here. Ambition and fighting spirit do not need any dreams! "

After finishing talking, the one-armed man gave a salute to Meng Xia with one hand.

The bearded man, and a few other city guards, were also numb and nodded at the same time.

Meng Xia sighed.

Some people don’t know what to say!

Can he say that these people don’t want to make progress and are willing to fall?

No!

Because he also came here to find the Heaven and Earth Bridge, within a few months, he might have to leave too.

Meng Xia's heart is empty.

p>

Meng Xia rushed to a few people nodded, and then jumped off the city gate.

The guards were not lost, but sat down numbly and almost dozed off.

Walking with my second sister on the streets of Qiao County, we also have a clearer concept of poverty in Qiao County.

The houses in Qiao County are mostly dilapidated, even in the county seat. What a particularly good house.

Perhaps, the residents of this city have not dared to wear the title of "rich family"!

As long as they are poor enough, they won’t Some people "see fortune".

As long as they are not rich, there will be no nobles staying.

Looking around, pedestrians come and go, Meng Xia didn't even see A complete dress.

Meng Xia even saw some little girls running naked in the street.

In addition to the amazing poverty, Meng Xia saw the most , On the contrary, they are all kinds of foreign races.

Compared with the local poverty, most of these foreign races are well-dressed, and they are very human.

Meng Xia has been from more than once These foreigners see a sense of superiority in their eyes!

There are even foreigners, sitting in the luxurious car, eight human races in tattered clothes carrying the frame, the foreigners look like a big master.

Meng Xia frowned.

On the land of Human Race, where are the foreigners aloof and remote as the great masters?

Fucking people as animals?

Either Meng Xia was too angry and inadvertently revealed a hint of breath. Inside the car, an alien man with long ears, high nose, orange eyes, and furry hair was suddenly scared into cold sweat.

The man hurriedly called for a parking lot, and immediately knelt down in front of Meng Xia.

"Master for your life, Master for your life, the young one has always been law-abiding in Qiao County and did not persecute any Human Race. . "

"As for the people who carry the sedan chair, the small ones are also hired with money. The wages given to them by the small ones are much higher than those of the others. If you don't believe them, you can ask these hired workers! "

Meng Xia raised his head and looked at a hired worker who was carrying a sedan chair.

The hired worker was also dumbfounded. In their eyes, the aloof and remote master actually kneeled directly. In front of Meng Xia.

Knocking his head and begging for mercy, without any dignity.

After a short-circuit of thinking about employment, he would kneel down when he bent his legs, but he found that I can't kneel down.

Meng Xia: "Stand and talk. "

Several employees are terrified, but they are still instinctively nodded.

"He might abuse you? "

Several employees shook their heads. One of them was bolder and shiver coldly said, "My lord, please forgive Master Huang. Master is very kind, if he didn't give us a job. , We all starved to death! "

"Yes, Master Huang is full, and he gave a lot of money! "

"Please be magnanimous, Master, let go of Master Huang! "

Several employees are sincere and sincere.

Meng Xia has no expression on her face, but she has mixed feelings in her heart. It is not a taste.

"Go! "

"Yes, yes, thank you, grandpa, for forgiving your life, the younger one will go, this will go! "

Master Huang, such as the amnesty, bowed and nodded and bowed. He didn't even dare to sit on the sedan chair. He ran away with eight hired workers.

Or It’s because Master Huang’s performance just now was too exaggerated, and all the creatures around were frightened, and none of them dared to approach Meng Xia.

Occasionally, a few ragged children were curious about Meng Xia and quietly. The probe took a few glances, but was also pulled and pressed by the mother.

Seeing this, Meng Xia's heart is even more unpleasant.

Not staying here, just go straight to the county government office. Go to the direction of the county.

Along the way, the scenery is amazing and consistent, and there is almost no endless.

The only warm color is the few houses near the county government.

.

The house is not too dilapidated, and there are some tiles on the roof to block the wind and rain.

As for the residents, the clothes are still in tatters, and the landlord’s old treasure is also wearing patched clothes. !

Meng Xia feels amazing. He perceives that a "landlord old wealth" has good clothes at home, but they are only under the bottom of the box.

Or seeing his arrival, Meng Xia even perceives Go to a mother and ask the two daughters to quickly take off their good clothes.

The eldest daughter is very sensible, she took off her old clothes numbly, and put on a tattered beggar outfit full of patches. .

The youngest daughter is still too young, probably only two or three years old, and she was reluctant to bear the old clothes on her body, and then she was beaten by her mother.

Mother was covering her youngest daughter’s mouth.

, While dressing the youngest daughter in torn clothes.

And the eldest daughter coaxes the younger sister obediently.

Meng Xia no longer feels, can’t help but look at this piece Clear blue sky.

The sky is very blue and the sun is very bright.

But Qiao County is very dim, this is a city without dreams!
