Lei Xingfeng said, "The place we are at … is too remote. Only a few ancient Lun passages can be used there. They can't open this kind of … uh, commercial passage. I can be sure that in ancient times, Wansee Continent was very developed."
Tanda nodded and said, "Our caravans all use boats, and their range of activity is very small. At most, it's a few hundred kilometers. It's not as convenient as here."
Lei Xingfeng knew the benefits of convenient transportation in his previous life. He said, "Okay, let's go. Sigh, I was stunned just now. I should have asked them."
Tanda said, "There's no need. Let's go … from where they came from. Keke, I believe it should be a densely populated area. Even if there isn't a big city, there should be a town."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's walk there." They could only walk. Although this was the place where the Lun spot was opened, it was quite deserted. Even if it was a caravan, not all caravans could use the Lun spot. Only those big companies could use the Lun spot to sell goods through the ancient Lun passage.
The three of them walked along the main road that the caravan came from.
After about half a day, the three of them saw some farmland by the side of the road. It was scattered and did not form into a large field. Most of it was paddy fields. As Lei Xingfeng expected, it was all rice. The farmland here was fenced off. There were probably too many wild animals at this time. If it was not blocked, it would affect the harvest.
In the distance, a small village could be seen, hidden in the forest. Wisps of smoke could be seen rising into the air. Along the way, XinFeng was full of praises, it was definitely a painting, the scenery was too beautiful to be taken in all at once.
There were very few people along the way. Often, after walking for about ten minutes, they could see ordinary people busying themselves in the fields. The number of people was very small, only two or three. Although this was a densely populated area, compared to Lei Xingfeng's previous life, there were still too few people here.
Gradually, the surface of the road improved significantly. Using gravel to make the road solid was at least easier to walk on than mud.
The number of people on the road also increased. Most of them were farmers carrying baskets and carrying baskets. They were walking in the same direction as Lei Xingfeng and company. Lei Xingfeng also noticed that most of the baskets and baskets were filled with agricultural products. These people were probably heading to town to sell their local products.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "There's definitely a town up ahead. If we're lucky, there might even be a city."
Tan laughed heartily and said, "Of course there will be. Hur hur, with so many people carrying their things, it would be strange if there wasn't a town up ahead."
Sure enough, as they followed the road and turned into a forest, they saw dark roofs. Because of the low trees, these roofs were like small boats floating on green waves. Who knew how many of them there were.
Wu Zhen said excitedly, "This is a big city!"
Tan Da shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a big city." He was slightly more knowledgeable than Wu Zhen and had heard of some descriptions of big cities. But from the looks of it, these houses were not enough to prove that this was a big city.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "This is a town, so it can't be too big. At most, it's two to three streets." In his opinion, a small town would only have one street, a medium-sized town would have two to three streets, and a big town would have about five to six streets. At most, it would not exceed ten streets. Meanwhile, a small city would have at least ten streets. As for a big city, it would not be able to create the atmosphere of a big city without at least a hundred streets.
Wu Zhen exclaimed, "This is only a town. Then … how big would a big city be?"
Tan Da said, "You'll definitely be able to see a big city on this trip."
These two fellows were typical country bumpkins who had not seen much of the world. In the remote water villages of the Wansee Continent, a gathering point on the water would have at most a thousand people. Both of them were shocked to see such a big town.
According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, this town would not exceed 20,000 people at most. In his opinion, this was just a very ordinary small town.
The people in this world all dressed similarly. According to Lei Xingfeng, it was just to keep one's body warm. Of course, cultivators were an exception. The most precious material for clothing was silk. The silk here was different from the silk of his hometown in his previous life. The silk here was richer in color, and other than silkworms, there was also a type of spider silk. This type of spider silk was stronger and brighter in color. Of course, it was also less produced.
As for ordinary people, very few of them could wear silk. The price was not something ordinary people could afford. Ordinary people mostly wore linen or cloth clothes. There was also a type of clothes made from tree bark. Therefore, the colors were mostly gray, black, or dark blue. Therefore, as long as they saw people wearing colorful clothes on the streets, they were almost all cultivators. It was very easy to tell them apart.
Therefore, Lei Xingfeng and the other two stood out when they entered the small town. This was because they were wearing silk clothes.
Almost all of the ordinary people who saw the three of them had an extremely respectful expression. They even lowered their heads and retreated, not daring to get close.
Lei Xingfeng laughed and said, "We're like wild beasts entering the city. Haha, they're all avoiding us."
Wu Zhen was a little puzzled. "They're afraid of us!" In the water town, although ordinary people were also very respectful towards cultivators, but because there were too few of them, they were very familiar with each other. There was no problem in communicating, and there was almost no barrier. But here, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that separated ordinary people and cultivators.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Nonsense, you're a cultivator, a Thousand Lun Master. Killing them is like killing chickens. If they're not afraid of you, who would they be afraid of?"
Wu Zhen shook his head and said, "I won't kill people for no reason. There's no need to be so afraid."
Lei Xingfeng said, "You won't kill people for no reason, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any cultivators killing people. As long as there are a few of these people, do you think ordinary people will be afraid? Just like before … … we met. The entire town was almost completely slaughtered by cultivators. What can they do?"
Tan Da said, "So ordinary people will rely on cultivators … … Haha, this place must be under the influence of some sect. Cultivators from outside also won't kill people for no reason. That would offend the power that protects them."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "I think so too. A town without cultivators protecting it is almost like a fat sheep."
Wu Zhen was puzzled. "What fat sheep? What's a fat sheep? "
There were sheep in this world, but there were none in the water town. So Wu Zhen did not understand.
Tan Da, on the other hand, knew. He said, "It's a very docile animal. Its meat is very delicious."
Wu Zhen immediately understood what a fat sheep was. It was delicious! The so-called fat sheep was slaughtered and eaten by people. He said, "Well, I understand. But there are very few towns like this. Even in our town, there are cultivators stationed there. I don't think I've seen a place without cultivators."
After a period of experience, Lei Xingfeng also understood that although cultivators made up a small portion of the total population in this world, they could be seen in every small corner of the world. Almost all the local tyrants and evil gentry in this world were cultivators. Even if they failed in some places, as long as they could find a place with human habitation, they could live comfortably. Their means were nothing more than strength that far exceeded ordinary people.
Wu Zhen said, "I'm hungry. There seems to be a restaurant in front."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Let's go take a look. I'm hungry too."
Tan Da said, "I don't know what's delicious here. I hope there are some special dishes." It was the right of a cultivator to be able to taste the special dishes of various places. In this world, only cultivators had the ability to travel long distances and travel to various places. This was a kind of experience and also an experience that could be flaunted. Because of cultivation, every cultivator had a good appetite and could eat far more food than ordinary people.
This was a small restaurant facing the street. There was a reed shed outside and three long tables. The inside of the restaurant was slightly more exquisite. There were two square tables and a circle of round wooden stools. There were two or three farmers eating under the reed shed outside. The two tables in the room were empty.
Lei Xingfeng and the other two swaggered in. Wu Zhen ordered, "Servants!" He looked like a typical master, but there was no servant beside him. The most regrettable thing was that this master had to do the housekeeping and servant work himself.
Fortunately, there were many cultivators here, so the owner of the restaurant was not afraid. He ran in eagerly, nodded and bowed, and said, "What can I do for you, Masters?"
Wu Zhen said, "Bring out all the special dishes. I'm hungry!"
Lei Xingfeng could not help but laugh. He was already calling himself a master. Unfortunately, this master was still a little weak. However, the owner of the restaurant was not surprised. He said repeatedly, "Please sit, please sit. I'll cook myself. Haha, I can't guarantee that you'll be satisfied, but it will definitely be the best dishes in this restaurant."
Wu Zhen said, "Give me a bigger portion."
This was also a characteristic of cultivators. The owner of the restaurant knew very well. He said, "I understand. Haha, please sit. I'll be back soon!"
There was a big wooden bowl of rice, a wooden bowl of boiled fish, and a big plate of vegetables that were scooped out of boiling water. There was little oil and little salt. Lei Xingfeng tasted it. It was tasteless and tasteless. This made him very unhappy. He asked, "This is the special dish? There's no meat? "
The owner smiled apologetically. "No, there were a few wild ducks, but they were bought by a customer. Haha."
Lei Xingfeng shook his head. He took out a Thousand Leaves Bag. There was a lot of bull meat that he had collected. It was already marinated and steamed. He said, "Cut it up for me and put it on a plate." The so-called Thousand Leaves Bag was a kind of plant's leaf. Each leaf was the size of a table. After steaming and drying, it was a very tough package. In Tiger Cliff Castle, it was something that every family had.
Bull meat was a specialty of Tiger Cliff Castle. The meat was very tender and nutritious. Ever since he left Tiger Cliff Castle, Lei Xingfeng had almost used up all the bull meat he had collected. Therefore, he ate very sparingly. Generally, if there was something else to eat, he would not be willing to take it out.
After a short while, the shop owner returned with a large wooden plate filled with oily bull beef. Because the bull beef had been marinated, it was red when it was cut open. A strong meaty aroma wafted out. The shop owner's Adam's apple kept squirming. It was obvious that this guy was constantly swallowing his saliva.
