I Have a Trillion Merits

Little did he know that the red-clothed Taoist and the purple-clothed woman he met were exactly the two Hongyun who had left Chaoge not long ago.

After the two left Chaoge, they did not return to Penglai Xiandao or Wahuang Palace, but continued to travel in the mortal world.

After all, with the current cultivation base of the two of them, it would not be of much use to retreat again.

On the contrary, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of this trip to take a good look at the world today, and take a look at the scenery during the calamity.

So after the two left Chaoge, they started playing aimlessly.

Who would have thought that this time they would come to Xiqi.

On the official road, the woodcutter was still walking cautiously, taking care of the two people in front of him by the way.

This made the two of Hongyun couldn't help laughing.

They didn't expect that the old man would face the two of them with such a posture.

Are they really that scary?

after a long time.

Hong Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Old man, why do you treat me like this?"

Beside him, the woman in purple looked at the woodcutter in front of her with interest, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing this, the woodcutter said with embarrassment: "I see that the two gentlemen are not like ordinary people, so I feel a little worried, but I made the two gentlemen laugh."

Seeing Hong Yun's peaceful expression, he was relieved immediately.

If these two people were really monsters, they would probably have done it just now, and they wouldn't have waited until now to talk to him like this.

Hong Yun laughed dumbfounded when he heard what the woodcutter said.

Then he said: "Dare to ask the old man, what is the boundary of this place?"

The woodcutter smiled and said, "If you go back to your lord, this is the territory of Marquis Xibo, Xiqi."

"Xibo Hou Jichang?"

Hong Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the thing hidden in the woodcutter's chest, and couldn't help smiling.

I settled here before, but I didn't expect to have results now.

It is really surprising.

Nu Wa looked at the firewood behind the woodcutter and asked in confusion, "Where is the old man going this time?"

The woodcutter smiled and said, "There is a market in the city today. I'll go and sell the firewood I cut yesterday to subsidize my family."

When Nv Wa heard this, her eyes suddenly showed curiosity. After all, she has traveled so long in the world, so she naturally understands what the market means.

The human market couldn't be more lively.

So she turned her head to look at Hong Yun, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Hong Yun smiled and said: "That's fine, I'm on the same road, but we can go to the city together to see the difference between Xiqi and Chaoge."

Nuwa laughed and said, "Okay, then follow what my brother said."

Hong Yun heard the words, touched his nose with a smile, and could only nod his head.

But the woodcutter at the side heard what Hong Yun said, and said curiously: "It turns out that the two gentlemen are from Chaoge."

Hong Yun smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

The woodcutter was amazed, and sighed: "Chaoge is tens of thousands of miles away, this is the first time I have seen someone from Chaoge!"

"In the past, I only heard that Chaoge was prosperous, but I never saw it."

"May I ask my lord, is Chaoge King City... really as prosperous as he said? I heard that the king's palace is made of gold?"

Seeing the curious expression on the woodcutter's face, Hong Yun smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Chaoge is more prosperous, but the palace is not made of gold."

Hearing the words, the woodcutter understood and said: "I said, no matter how rich your king is, it is impossible to build a palace out of gold."

Afterwards, he said again: "I don't know if the people in Chaoge City have rice noodles at every turn."

Hong Yun nodded with a smile, and said, "There are some of these."

Hearing the words, the woodcutter could not help but smacked his lips, and sighed, "It's better to be Chaoge!"

Hong Yun was surprised and said: "Why did the old man say that? Could it be that the people here have no rice or noodles to eat?"

What the woodcutter said before could be said to be his longing for Chaoge City, after all, it is a land of great merchants, and it is the most prosperous place in the eyes of ordinary people.

And the king of the great merchants was the richest man among the great merchants.

Randomly, the woodcutter's questioning this time is nothing, but the meaning of what he said later seems to be a bit unusual.

According to Hongyun's understanding of the human world, since Shennong passed on the five grains, people rarely starved to death.

It is also rare for ordinary people to have no rice and noodles to eat.

Why did this old man make such a statement?

The woodcutter was stunned when he heard what Hong Yun said.

Then he said with a smile: "That's not true. Under the rule of Xibohou, although my land of Xiqi is not as rich as the king's city."

"It's not that there is no rice and noodles to eat, but Xiqi has never been better than Chaoge."

"There is less grain planting here, but we can't eat rice and noodles like Chaoge people. What I said just now is just a bit of a sigh."

The woodcutter explained with a smile.

Hong Yun nodded upon hearing this.

really.

Compared with Chaoge, this Xiqi land is still a lot worse, but it is not so that the common people cannot eat rice and noodles.

But he was a little paranoid.

On the way, Hongyun and the woodcutter talked a little bit from time to time, telling each other about Chaoge and Xiqi.

Nuwa listened with a smile on the sidelines, being a qualified listener.

Speaking of it, this was something she had never experienced before, especially when she saw that Hong Yun could communicate with a mortal like this.

It surprised her even more.

Soon, when Hong Yun was talking with the woodcutter, they came to the gate of Xiqi City.

At the gate of the city, Sergeant Xiqi was examining every civilian who came to the gate of the city, with sharp eyes, scanning back and forth among the crowd.

It is now in the morning, which is the time when the most people enter the city.

Therefore, the sergeants at the city gate did not dare to slack off.

The woodcutter smiled and said, "You two gentlemen, this is my city of Xiqi, and the villain wants to hurry up and sell, so he left first."

Hearing this, Hong Yun nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, the woodcutter carried firewood on his back and walked briskly into the city.

Just after the woodcutter entered the city, Hongyun and Nuwa looked at each other and smiled, and followed them into the city.

And at this moment, at Penglai Xiandao.

The Taoist of the Five Elements, who is Hongyun Shanshi, came out of the customs at this moment, with a faint smile on his face, and came to a side hall.

This side hall was exactly the ashram where Hongyun let Jiang Ziya practice after he accepted it.

It's just that Jiang Ziya's aptitude is really poor. After decades of practice, he has only cultivated to the level of a celestial being.

With such aptitude for cultivation, everyone in the Penglai lineage couldn't help but feel a little amazed!

The Penglai lineage that they can enter, apart from their own fate, is because of their good aptitude, which is why Hong Yun sees it in their eyes.

But Jiang Ziya is an outlier.

The difference in qualifications is really rare.
