"Oh, right." Before leaving, Zhang Linchuan suddenly looked at Tang Dun. "You're called Tang Dun?"
"That's my name."
Zhang Linchuan smiled. "Dun, honest, and sincere. That's a good name. "
Tang Dun scratched his head. "My teacher gave me that name when I was young."
"Oh?" Zhang Linchuan asked.
"Our Tangshe Town was poor and couldn't afford to pay for the tuition. Hunters didn't care about whether they could read or not. It was because my teacher traveled here that he stayed and taught us for three years. But three years later, he traveled again. He liked me the most back then and said I was some kind of jade. "
If that was the case, everything would make sense.
The culture of traveling was highly recommended by the people of the time, and disciples of all families had it.
For example, Confucian disciples believed in reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles. Most of them traveled around the country. But some did it to broaden their horizons, and some did it to sell themselves.
For example, Mohist disciples traveled all over the world and experienced everything. But if they met Tang Dun, they would probably teach him some martial arts or even some basic mechanism techniques instead of reading and reading.
Although Zhuang Country regarded Daoism as its national religion, it didn't reject disciples of other schools. There was nothing wrong with Tang Dun's experience.
Jiang Wang said, "Since you've studied, it's a waste for you to be a constable here. After dealing with Niu 'er's funeral, if you don't have anything else to worry about, you can take the exam to become an external disciple of the Daoist Academy. "
He saw that Tang Dun was simple and appreciated his talent. But in the end, it was still Tang Dun's choice.
…
After leaving Tangshe Town, they went straight south along the official road back to Maplewood City.
Because of the corresponding formation patterns, there were no wild beasts on the official road.
The horse's hooves weren't hurried, and Zhang Linchuan's voice was neither fast nor slow. "Do you know how much resources the imperial court has to invest every year to maintain the official road in Zhuang Country?"
Jiang Wang shook his head. He really didn't know much about these things.
"That's an astronomical number." Zhang Linchuan said, "Also, these formation patterns can only drive away low-level monsters. Those powerful monsters and ferocious beasts still need to be cleaned up by strong people. Every year, the Imperial Court invested a huge amount of manpower and resources to maintain the smooth flow of the various regions. The only thing we can do is to grow as quickly as possible so that we can shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. "
"Thank you for your advice."
"Then let me ask you again. The city is protected by a formation, so why doesn't the Imperial Court allow everyone to live in the city?"
"I think there are two reasons." Jiang Wang thought for a while and said, "First, a big city also has its limits. It can't satisfy everyone's survival needs. Secondly, the range of each city was limited. The Imperial Court needed these official roads to extend in all directions, using the cities as nodes. This was because they represented the actual territory. And land is a resource. "
"You saw it clearly. The formations of the towns and villages could not possibly be as safe as those of the big cities, but the towns and villages also had their irreplaceable aspects. Just like Tangshe Town, as long as it still existed, Maplewood City could harvest a steady stream of resources from the Qichang Mountain Range. Once Tangshe Town is gone one day, the Qichang Mountain Range will have nothing to do with our Zhuang Country. "
"The people of Tangshe Town dared to hunt in the Qichang Mountain Range. Of course, they also have experts. That demon was lurking when the Arrest Department went there, and he didn't make any other movements before we arrived. But he just had to attack us when we arrived … "
At this point, Zhang Linchuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Wang with a faint smile. "Junior Brother Jiang, do you have anything that attracted them?"
Jiang Wang couldn't answer.
Of course, he had secrets, but it was limited to the virtual key he inherited from Zuo Guanglie. All the changes happened in the Great Illusionary Realm, so it shouldn't have been discovered in reality. But if it wasn't related to this, the first time he was attacked by the demon seemed to be after he entered the Great Illusionary Realm.
He was thinking about how to use words to deceive Jiang Wang when Zhang Linchuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed. His middle finger and ring finger were bent, and the other three fingers were extended.
Then, an arc of electricity leaped from the three fingers and converged into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Jiang Wang!
Jiang Wang didn't even have time to react before the bolt of lightning slid past his ear and hit a poisoned arrow dyed dark green, destroying it and falling to the ground.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Wang heard the sharp whistling sound of the poisonous arrow speeding up. Only then did he smell the burnt smell of his hair that had been brushed by the lightning.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang Linchuan jumped up from his horse and raised his free right hand in a very strange gesture. A whip of lightning condensed in the air.
"Die with me!"
Riding the whip of lightning, he swooped down like an eagle and rushed toward the attacker hiding in the forest on the left side of the official road.
It turned out that he had been prepared for this and was multitasking. He secretly made a gesture and prepared two Taoist techniques in advance, so that he could counterattack as soon as the attack occurred.
Jiang Wang was still far from this senior brother who had been tested in battle for a long time.
At this moment, a voice came from the forest on the right side. "There's trouble. Let's split up and retreat!"
Jiang Wang, who was about to catch up with Zhang Linchuan, suddenly turned around!
How could he not recognize this voice? Although it was only a short conversation in the room of the little girl in Tangshe Town, it was enough to leave an unforgettable impression on him!
In the Tongtian Palace, a ball of Primordial Dao exploded silently. Jiang Wang, like a crazy beast, charged in the direction of the voice with the most determined posture.
Living in the Zhuang Country, almost all the civilians had to remember the first thing before going out — Don't leave the official road.
This was because, except for the range of human cities and towns, everything outside the official road was wild land. It was the territory of wild beasts, demonic beasts, and even ferocious beasts.
Zhang Linchuan was strong enough, so he didn't care.
Jiang Wang wanted to kill someone, so he didn't care.
He had never, ever, ever been so angry. Although Fang Pengju's betrayal was hateful, it was still traceable. But that little girl, she was still so young. How innocent was she?
Jiang Wang's sword trembled in its scabbard. It seemed to have started to get excited. It seemed to know that it was about to explode with the most brilliant brilliance of its life.
Sharpening a sword for ten years, the frost blade has never been tested. Today, I will show it to the emperor. Who has an injustice?
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The moment the long sword leaped out, it actually clashed with the scabbard five times. Then, it left the scabbard!
The sword was like a shooting star, and the man was like a flood dragon.
A big tree fell to the ground with a wail. The heterodox demon hiding in the tree quickly retreated.
In his haste, his face couldn't be seen clearly. Only his pale face, which was covered by his messy hair, could be seen.
The Primordial Dao in the Tongtian Palace exploded one by one.
Jiang Wang had never squandered his Primordial Dao like this before. He felt that his whole body was filled with power.
Before he condensed his Primordial Dao vortex, every squandering of Primordial Dao meant a regression in his cultivation.
He didn't care about immortality or a promising future.
He wanted to kill this demon. Only then could he vent his pent-up anger and obtain peace of mind.
Eastern Purple Qi Sword Technique, the second move of the Killing technique, brought about a frost light.
The white-faced demon didn't have time to form hand seals as he retreated. His right arm rapidly swelled, his muscles bulging and his blood vessels bursting. He suddenly threw a straight punch at the frost light.
The sword and the demon-like right arm clashed more than ten times in an instant.
Jiang Wang suddenly realized that he had judged wrongly! This opponent was very strong! At least much stronger than him! It was definitely not like what he had thought, that the opponent was only slightly stronger in terms of cultivation.
In other words, if this white-faced demon had used his full strength when he attacked Tangshe Town, Jiang Wang couldn't guarantee that he would have survived.
However, Jiang Wang didn't retreat. His long sword shook again, and a sharp whistle sounded.
Eastern Purple Qi Sword Technique, the third move of the Killing technique!
The demon-like right arm was chopped off and sent flying!
"Damn it!!"
The white-faced demon roared. He didn't expect that he would be forced into a corner by this youth who was risking his life just because he was careless.
His back foot suddenly stopped on a big tree that was flying backwards. He knew that he couldn't retreat anymore. If he did, he would die. Life came naturally from the fight.
With his back foot as the center, the whole tree instantly withered.
Then, from his roaring mouth, a gray fog gushed out, bringing with it an extremely strong smell of decay and a pungent stench.
The power to control life and death, this was a Dao technique that belonged to the Netherworld!
The sword light exploded.
Dao Energy activated the sword light, which cut through the gray fog. Jiang Wang leaped out from the gray fog!
Eastern Purple Qi Sword Technique, the fourth move of the Killing technique!
He had let the demon escape in Tangshe Town. He was caught unprepared and had no way to deal with it.
At least at this moment, at this moment, he had to give that little girl called Niu 'er an explanation!
This was the responsibility of a cultivator towards a commoner.
This was the responsibility of an adult towards a child!
Jiang Wang's figure leaped through the air, breaking through the gray fog and appearing in front of the white-faced demon's eyes.
And in his widening eyes that were filled with shock, a resplendent sword light came from above.
That was the last light he saw before eternal darkness.
