Chapter 29 The Mute of Nanming Kingdom
In an unknown small fishing village on the east coast of Nanming Kingdom, a small bamboo raft floated from the sea. There was a person sitting on the bamboo raft, and he was Ji Wen.
After settling the matter with the Zhang family, Ji Wen returned to the forest. He originally planned to tell the ape king and ask him to help look after the residents of the island for his sake, as long as the beasts were not allowed to go there.
Just attack the small village. But when he arrived, he realized that the ape king had already
The ape king is gone. According to the new generation of ape kings, the ape kings were taken to other places. And the ape kings of this generation also told Ji Wen with certainty that there is no need to worry. There has been a force warning Ji Wen for a long time.
They are not allowed to leave the forest. So as long as the villagers don't enter the forest, nothing will happen.
Although Ji Wen was curious as to why there were such rules and regulations in the forest, he did not ask further questions. However, Ji Wen was curious about where the Ape King went after he left.
However, none of the ape kings are accurate about this matter, and they don't know why.
After more than ten days of drifting, Ji Wen finally saw a land. Since Ji Wen had never been to the sea, and he did not find out the direction of Nanming Kingdom, he went out recklessly and suffered for more than ten days. But it was okay, old man
Tian was not ruthless, but gave Ji Wen a way to survive.
This small fishing village is about the same size as Taoyuan Village, but there are many more people here than Taoyuan Village. Everywhere you look, there are densely packed heads of people.
Ji Wen was basically like a young boy who had never seen the world. He shuttled among the crowd and looked at everything around him curiously. Most of the stalls, large and small, sold seafood, and some sold groceries... They
They shouted enthusiastically and worked hard to sell their goods. It turned out that a small market had been formed here.
Everything here seemed novel to Ji Wen. He came to a fish stall and quietly watched the customers coming and going, picking things from left to right, smiling happily.
"Hey... is there anything I like?" The owner of the fish stall is a young man with a pockmarked face, carrying a fish weighing four or five kilograms, and greets him warmly. Perhaps because he has been out at sea all year round, his skin is dark.
Very.
When the owner of the fish stall suddenly asked him, Ji Wen was stunned and could only shake his head. After all, he had been watching for such a long time and knew that one must have money to consume here, but it was a pity that he did not.
The boss was also very realistic. Seeing that Ji Wen had no desire to buy, he ignored him and let him watch from the sidelines, as long as he didn't disturb other customers.
Ji Wen looked around the fishing village and gradually lost the sense of freshness. Although this small fishing village was more prosperous than Taoyuan Village, in the final analysis, for a person like Ji Wen who had no desires, there was actually no difference.
"Uncle, can I ask you something?" Ji Wen came to the village entrance and asked a little old man basking in the sun.
"Oh...little brother, what's the matter?" You really can't tell a person's face. He looks like a quiet person on the surface, but he is so chatty when he talks. He talks a lot about Ji Wenbu.
What I know seems to be just for my own entertainment. "I dare not say that I know astronomy and geography. There is nothing that I don't know."
"Uncle, I just want to ask which direction Nanming Kingdom is." Ji Wen said with some distress.
But when he asked this question, the chatty old man suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ji Wen as if he were a fool.
"Brother... you're not sick, are you?" the little old man said in disbelief, "Isn't the place you are standing in Nanming Country?"
"This is Nanming Country?" Ji Wen whispered in confusion, "Isn't Nanming Country very big? It looks like the village where I live."
"Haha..." The chatty little old man couldn't help laughing. He thought this kid was really interesting. Only the kind of kid who had just left home and didn't know the world could say something like that, "Boy, Nanming
I'm studying at National University! This small fishing village is just an inconspicuous little sesame land in Nanming Kingdom. If you want to truly understand Nanming Kingdom, then you have to go to a big town to experience what a prosperous city is."
"Then how to get to the big town?" Ji Wen didn't mind the laughter of the chatty old man. His mother taught him since he was a child that when three people are together, there must be a teacher, and he must be a person who is not ashamed to ask questions.
"The nearest town is Guangquan Town. You can walk along this road for about three to five days to get there." The talkative little old man did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Oh...thank you, sir." Ji Wen, who was about to leave, thought for a while and asked, "I wonder, sir, do you know the status of Xunxian's battle?"
"Xunxian?" The little old man looked bitter and didn't know how to answer. An old man not far away looked at the little old man and couldn't help but ridiculed, "Haha... What's wrong, little Jiaotou, didn't you say
Do you know everything about astronomy and geography? Why can’t you answer this question? You’re exaggerating!”
"Hmph... Are you the only one who's troublesome?" The talkative little old man was scolded by the man, flicked his sleeves, and walked away without a good look towards Ji Wen.
"Haha... Young man, if you want to know about Xunxian, you might as well go to the town and ask, maybe someone will know." After a pause, the old man couldn't help but admonished, "Young man, it's better not to pry about Xunxian.
as well,
Who can count how many lives have been lost because of the search for immortals in the past few years? Don’t blame Old Jiaotou. His youngest son also went away for many years because of this search for immortals.
I don’t know where the bones are buried.”
After thanking the uncle, Ji Wen went on the road to Guangquan Town. The uncle's admonition on the way lingered in his mind, so has his father also been buried in a foreign land?
In the vast sea of people, where should he go and where should he look?
After arriving in Guangquan Town, Ji Wen realized what kind of frog in the well he was. If you really want to compare, Taoyuan Village can only be regarded as a small street in Guangquan Town.
People coming and going, dressed in all kinds of clothes, are dazzling. There are countless restaurants and inns, and the guests seem to be coming, and you can also see many martial arts people with swords. In comparison, Ji Wen is
It seems out of place in this town.
His disheveled hair and dusty and wrinkled clothes all told others that he was a beggar. When he entered the city, although he received a lot of looks, Ji Wen didn't mind at all and went his own way.
, let others say it!
Although Ji Wen himself doesn't mind what others think of him, it's just that since he has decided to live in Nanming Country, he must try to blend in, at least not to appear too "outstanding".
Ji Wen's only skills are his martial arts and his outstanding hunting skills. However, with his character, he can only work as a teacher in any gym, so the rest is hunting.
Gradually, word spread in Guangquan Town that such a young man could catch many different kinds of game and sell them in the town every day. And if you wanted to taste any kind of game one day, as long as there was one in the nearby mountains and forests, you could
You can pay a deposit to this guy to make a reservation, and the price will be doubled. And this person is Ji Wen.
After living in Guangquan Town for a month, Ji Wen learned many ways to make friends. At the same time, he also found out a lot of news about Xunxian.
It turns out that the search for immortals had stopped two years ago. Countries have declared truces, and what is left are the piles of bones and skeletons and many broken families. But regarding the token mentioned by Brother Jizhi,
These ordinary homeless people don't know any news at all.
"Xiao Ji! How about you shoot me a pheasant of different colors tomorrow!" A plump and fair lady came to Ji Wen's empty stall.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm leaving Guangquan Town, and I won't be able to help you hunt anymore." Ji Wen said awkwardly.
"Leaving Guangquan Town?" Auntie asked puzzledly, "Okay, where are you going? Auntie, I'm going to introduce you to an older girl as your wife?"
"I'm going to travel around Nanming Country to see the outside world." Ji Wen gave a casual reason.
"Hmph... Xiaoji, please don't lie to me. I've heard that you guys have been asking about Xunxian." The lady was filled with pride and "You can't lie to me."
expression.
"Xiao Ji! To be honest, you can do it. You are handsome and you don't look like a hunter at all. You are also somewhat literary and a down-to-earth person. So if you stay in Guangquan Town, I'm sure you can do it."
I’ll find you a beautiful girl. Besides, seeking an immortal is not a good thing, so you’d better not bother with it, lest you suffer bad luck.”
Ji Wen responded to the aunt's kindness.
Ji Wen won't be too particular about looking for Ji Changdao. Let everything be left to fate!
From then on, Ji Wen's footprints began to visit every place in the Nanming Kingdom. However, the Nanming Kingdom was too big. With Ji Wen's leisurely pace, it might take him a lifetime to complete it! And every time he went to a place, he would
He stopped for half a month and appreciated the different customs of each place. He met different people, encountered various things, and became a hero.
He also visited the Xunxian Lord battlefield and experienced the cruelty of war. Although the battlefield was overgrown with weeds, it still could not cover up the patches of blood-stained earth and the forgotten bones.
Five full years have passed, and Ji Wen still doesn't have any news about his father, Ji Changdao. He is also tired. He doesn't want to go on any more. It's too tiring to travel alone without a goal.
It happened that he came to Nanjiang City, a city with beautiful mountains and rivers. There are mountains and rivers here, which is perfect for seclusion. Now that he has such an idea, he plans to try to live here for a long time.
He liked tranquility, so he built a bamboo house beside a stream on a nearby mountain. He stayed with the mountains and rivers all day long, and lived a comfortable and happy life.
Because he was far away from people, Jianzhan rarely spoke much, and even the people around Nanjiang City thought that Ji Wenwen was mute after they got acquainted with him and saw that he hadn't said a word.
.
Although he lost his life of fighting, Ji Wen never gave up on the exercises and formulas he practiced. He still insisted on practicing them every day and night. After all, with experience, he truly understood that only his own strength can control his own power.
