Chapter 283: Shangyue City
"I will follow my heart and do what I want!" Duan Qing said calmly.
"Follow your heart?" Qiao Chuan whispered softly.
"Brother Duan, this is wrong. Sometimes people don't even know what they want to do, so how can they do what they want!" At this time, the old man Qiao Shan who was walking in front suddenly interrupted with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"No, a person is actually very clear about what he wants to do and what he wants at any time. A moment of confusion is just a lack of determination!" Duan Qing glanced at the silent Qiao Chuan and said calmly.
Although he had not been with Qiao Chuan for a long time, he could see that Qiao Chuan was quite resistant to going to Shangyue City, but because of his grandfather Qiao Shan, he dared not say his true thoughts, so that it had become a knot in his heart, and the whole person lived very depressed.
The reason why Duan Qing deliberately brought up this topic was just to guide Qiao Chuan to express his true thoughts.
No matter what his true thoughts were, it was a very bad thing for his mind to keep them in his heart.
"No matter what you do, the most important thing is to face it calmly!" Duan Qing said this last sentence and stopped talking.
After all, he was just a passer-by in Qiao Chuan's life. As for how to choose, it all depends on Qiao Chuan himself.
After listening to what Duan Qing said, the old man Qiao Shan remained silent. At this time, he already understood what Duan Qing meant and sighed helplessly in his heart.
He actually understood his grandson's thoughts very well, and also understood the origin of his thoughts.
Qiao Chuan's father, Qiao Lin, was originally a cultivator of Qianlin Sect. He joined Qianlin Sect since he was a child. Although he had ordinary talents, he practiced very hard and was the pride of him and even the entire Qiaoshan Village.
Later, Qiao Lin even found a Taoist partner in Qianlin Sect to practice the Great Dao together.
After Qiao Lin and his wife gave birth to Qiao Chuan, because the sect's tasks were cumbersome and they had no time to take care of the young Qiao Chuan, they sent Qiao Chuan back to Qiaoshan Village first, and let him and his wife take care of him. They planned to take Qiao Chuan into Qianlin Sect after he grew up.
As a result, when Qiao Chuan was seven years old, Qiao Lin and his wife died unexpectedly during a mission, which brought a heavy blow to the Qiao family. He was depressed for a long time.
As for Qiao Chuan, he became extremely timid and afraid of death. He was quite resistant to participating in the Qianlin Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony.
In order for Qiao Chuan to have a promising future and not stay in Qiaoshan Village like him for the rest of his life, he had to ignore Qiao Chuan's thoughts. In addition, he was afraid of arousing Qiao Chuan's bad memories, so he did not dare to enlighten him.
After listening to Duan Qing's words, Qiao Chuan remained silent for a long time. It seemed that he finally figured something out, and the whole person became much more energetic.
Duan Qing and the other four walked north for several hours until the sun set in the west, and finally arrived at the Shangyue City mentioned by the old man Qiao Shan.
Looking at the majestic city in the distance, Duan Qing couldn't help but flash a trace of amazement in his eyes.
The city wall was at least ten feet high, extending for at least ten miles. The scale of Shangyue City was much more magnificent than the largest Cangzhou City he had seen in Xiaonanjie.
The key point is that according to the old man Qiao Shan, Shangyue City is just an ordinary city in Yuezhou, and there are many cities with a larger scale than Shangyue City.
It is worthy of being the Middle Earth!
Although it was already evening, there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the south gate of Shangyue City, and occasionally monks were seen flying directly from the sky on swords.
A glimpse of the whole picture, just looking at this Shangyue City, you can feel the prosperity of the Middle Earth and the prosperity of the cultivation atmosphere!
Compared with Xiaonanjie, it is completely like two worlds!
I don’t know where the Xiaonanjie sect got the courage to dare to attack the Middle Earth!
“Is this Shangyue City!” Qiao Chuan looked at the majestic city in front of him and exclaimed.
“Qianlin Sect is located 300 miles east of Shangyue City. Every year, a disciple-recruiting ceremony is held in Shangyue City to recruit disciples.” The old man Qiao Shan explained to everyone.
Duan Qing sighed a little when he heard this.
All the sects in Xiaonanjie recruit disciples by using the command talisman. For example, Jinxuan Sect needs the Jinxuan Command to recruit disciples. Behind this helpless method of recruiting disciples is the current situation of the shortage of cultivation resources in the sects in Xiaonanjie.
However, Qianlin Sect directly recruits disciples in the secular world. From this point, we can see the confidence behind the sect!
Soon, everyone followed the crowd into Shangyue City from the south gate.
"The Qianlin Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony will be held tomorrow. Let's find an inn to stay overnight!" said the old man Qiao Shan to everyone.
Although Duan Qing had no intention of participating in the disciple-recruiting ceremony, he also wanted to see it. He planned to wait until tomorrow to watch the disciple-recruiting ceremony, and then go to Qianlin Sect to deliver things for Lu Yuan.
So he and Qiao Shan and others found a slightly simple inn in the city to stay.
What Duan Qing found strange was that in addition to collecting secular money and goods, this inn actually collected spirit stones. Qiao Shan used two low-grade spirit stones to pay for the room for four people.
It seems that in the Middle Earth, the monastic world and the secular world are closely connected!
Because the inn did not allow Duan Qing to bring the fool into the room, he had to place the fool in the stable in the backyard of the inn first. Although he was a little reluctant, he had to compromise.
After all, it is better to be low-key when you first arrive in the Middle Earth.
That night, Duan Qing was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, and suddenly he felt something moving outside the window, and then he heard a slight sound, and a dagger with a cold light suddenly shot in from the window and nailed directly on the wooden table. There was a piece of yellow paper on the dagger.
Duan Qing felt a little strange. He could sense that the person who threw the dagger was just a mortal, and the dagger and yellow paper were also mortals.
Gently taking the dagger into his hand, taking off the yellow paper and spreading it out, Duan Qing was immediately shocked and angry.
There were a few big words written on the yellow paper.
A small forest three miles east of the city.
And there was a bunch of coarse hair wrapped in the paper.
Duan Qing immediately opened his senses to find the person who had just thrown the dagger, but there was no trace of this person at this time.
He immediately sacrificed the giant green, rushed out of the window, turned a corner and landed in the backyard of the inn, and swept his eyes around the stable, where was the trace of the idiot!
The idiot was gone!
Duan Qing's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and the fire in his hand flashed and burned the yellow paper to ashes!
The room he lived in was only a dozen feet away from the backyard where the idiot was. The person who came could kidnap the idiot without anyone noticing. Who did it!
Without time to think about it, Duan Qing immediately flew to the east of the city on his sword. Along the way, he recalled all the details after coming to the Middle Earth, but he could not determine who was targeting him so much!
He had only come into contact with a few people after coming to the Middle Earth. The young woman in the yellow skirt was dead. It couldn't be Qiao Shan's doing!
Could it be that the companion of the young woman in the yellow skirt, the middle-aged man in the yellow shirt, came to the door?
While thinking, he had already landed in front of a forest several miles outside the east gate.
"Haha, you little beast really dare to come!" At this time, a familiar voice sounded from the forest.
Duan Qing frowned, and tried hard to recall who the owner of this voice was.
It's him!
After thinking for a while, Duan Qing finally remembered who the person who spoke was!
At the same time, three figures walked out of the forest, which also confirmed Duan Qing's thoughts.
