Destiny is ashes

Chapter 146 Entering Kanming City
Ice, frost and extremely cold air swept across the border.

It's snowing heavily again this year.

Between the vast sky and earth, with snow falling all over the sky, a silver falcon flew across the sky.

Passing through thick dark clouds, turbulent waters, and rising and falling mountains and rivers, the Silver Falcon finally landed on a towering, ancient, abandoned tower. It turned its head left and right, overlooking the creatures below.

In the pure white world, there was a black road as straight as an arrow, and merchants and travelers came and went like clouds.

Seeing this ancient tower, heading east, you will reach Kanming City, an important frontier area in the Western Mountain Region of Dachen.

A young man wrapped in a black leather coat, his face half covered by a hood, was walking on the road.

It was different from the Tianyuan Realm, where people were easily identified as "wild people" because they knew nothing about the local customs.

In the Huaixu Realm, An Jing had been studying and practicing martial arts since he was young. His family was engaged in business, and he had the wisdom to hear rumors from all directions. He knew his hometown very well and knew how to disguise himself as the role he wanted to play.

Now, his identity is a Chenli man from the "Chenli Realm" outside the northern border of Dachen.

However, when talking about Chenli, one must understand the geographical structure of Dachen, Beixuanjizhou, and even the entire Huaixu world.

The Huaixu Realm is extremely vast, with a total of five colors, five directions and ten continents.

Beixuanjizhou, as its name suggests, is the continent representing the color "Xuan" among the three northern continents.

Compared to most of the other continents where the Tianzong is at the top and allows the many sects and countries on the earth to fight endlessly, nearly half of the area of ​​Beixuanjizhou is unified by the local Tianzong, which is a big country.

That is [Shi Tian Zong·Bei Chen Dynasty].

In the Huaixu Realm, the existence of a country is actually lower than that of a sect. Most countries or forces are created by powerful warriors with powerful fates in order to realize their own ideals and fates.

Regardless of whether their practice is successful or unsuccessful in the end, they will return to the sect in order to make further progress, and their bloodline descendants will become the royal family of that country, and the sect will be their support.

But Dachen is different.

Dachen was founded by Zhenwu, a rare power in the Huaixu Realm that inherited its power from the bloodline of one family. Although its inheritance may seem a bit thin in comparison to other sects, its power is more concentrated, and its system of granting ordination to all officials is even more amazing, and has been learned by many major forces.

The lineage of Emperor Beichen can also be regarded as a major inheritance and is respected as the Xuan family of Zhenwu Mountain. The entire Dachen is regarded as the dojo of the Zhenwu Mountain lineage, so the whole country respects the virtue of water and admires black.

Including the West Sea, North Sea and South Sea islands, Beixuanjizhou has a total of thirty-six major domains, and Dachen owns the most essential fourteen of them. Excluding the special [Shenjing] and [Chijiangyu] among the fourteen major domains, the remaining twelve major domains are each divided into three paths, and each path is divided into seven states.

Including the three autonomous states in the Red Territory, the Beichen Empire is a behemoth that owns fourteen major domains, thirty-six roads, and two hundred and fifty-five states, with a territory nearly half of Beixuan Continent.

The Xishan Region is located in the northwest of Dachen.

It is connected to Taiyuan in the west, Minhai in the south, Yandao in the southeast, and Hanhai in the northeast.

To the north of the vast sea, the hometown of Xishan and Anjing, is the vast region [Chenli] outside the Dachen territory.

Chenli, its name comes from the white frost that covers the entire region, covering the land of Li like endless dust. It is the hometown of the northern barbarians. In the eyes of the people of Dachen, it is a wild and lawless place. To put it simply, it is a rural place that refuses to obey the king and is unwilling to be educated.

However, as a frontier man who has been trading with the northern barbarian tribes for many years, An Jing knows very well that the Chen people are not barbarians.

On the contrary, it has many famous rivers and sacred mountains. Although the northern barbarian tribes are technologically inferior to Dachen, they also have their own civilization and tribes.

And in the depths of Chenli, there are many martial arts sects that have relocated or even been expelled because they were unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of Dachen and have re-established their mountain gates.

[Xu Shen Mountain], [Mei Yu Mountain], [Hong Fu Mountain], [Yu Yuan Mountain], [Jian Kong Mountain]...are all well-known major sects in the Chen Li Realm.

Among them, the Jiankongshan Mingjing Sect is the sect behind the Zhenren Shenzang who fought against the Northern Tour Envoy of the Tianyi Demon Sect. It is also a local sect in Chenli that has a close relationship with Dachen.

In the land of Chenli, where there are warrior sects, there are naturally large tribes and clans that seek shelter in the sects, which are almost like small countries, and they will also communicate with the outside world.

This is also the most important function of Kanming City, a large border city.

It is also the hub of communication between large domains.

A strong wind swept past, and the black Xuanshui flag fluttered above Kanming City. The Xuanwu totem seemed to come alive, making the wind and snow around Kanming City much lighter.

Outside the city gate, in the long queue, An Jing was disguised as someone from the tribes surrounding Jiankong Mountain, dressed black on the outside and white on the inside, just like a mirror, with a muddy bottom and clear surface.

He planned to pretend to be a young Dust-Reptile warrior acting alone. He had actually met such a person in his hometown, so An Jing was confident that he could act so vividly that he would not be exposed even if he really met a Dust-Reptile.

Now it was time to register to enter the city. An Jing, who was standing in line, saw the city guard in front of him yawning while registering for entry into the city.

It's his turn.

"Name?"

"Jingxuan."

"Chenli people?"

"It's to see Kongshan!"

An Jing, who gave a false name, widened his eyes and seemed very angry - to Dachen, the Chenli people were either barbarians or those under the protection of a sect, and generally speaking, they were all barbarians.

But for Chen Li’s own people, the struggles among the major sects and tribes are quite fierce, and no one can admit that they are one family with people from other places.

Simply put, it is bulk dust.

"Okay, okay, I'll see you in the empty mountain..."

The guard was obviously used to the reactions of people like An Jing. He even teased An Jing on purpose because he was young. When he saw An Jing's intense reaction, he laughed and registered his name in the register: "Jing Xuan. Your entrance fee is..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, An Jing handed over a dime. He knew all about this.

As for the silver, it was cheap silver obtained from the Tianyuan Realm. One hundred taels of silver, unless it was a spiritual object like Shenyin, would only be worth less than twenty good deeds, which was considered an advantage in a different world.

"Go in." The guard took the money smoothly and An Jing entered the city smoothly.

Neither the guards guarding the city nor the other Chenli people in the team behind him reacted at all, because An Jing's accent and reactions were all authentic, and it was obvious that he had been a Chenli person for more than ten years.

"it is good!"

After entering the city, An Jing still didn't completely let down his guard, but he was relieved in his heart: "Although it should have been this easy, it's great that it went smoothly."

"I'll be much safer once I get to Kanming City."

Kanming City is a large frontier city with martial arts masters stationed there, and it can even call upon divine weapons of the Shenzang level. It is definitely not a place where ordinary forces can act recklessly.

The residents here live and work in peace and contentment. Even if there are spies from the Demon Cult, they cannot act openly. Even if they have some tracking powers, they cannot find An Jing again in the sea of ​​people.

With such feelings, An Jing, who finally entered the city, continued to walk along the street, feeling everything in front of him.

Even though it was snowing heavily not long ago, the enthusiastic voices of people could still be heard here.

"Hot-baked scones, baked potatoes..." A middle-aged man fanned the aroma.

"The brocade from the capital city comes in five colors and is strong and durable..." the old woman shouted on the street.

"Baishan Snow Ginseng nourishes the middle and strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the essence and calms the qi, and is honest to everyone..." A herbalist wearing a fur hat and carrying a knife stood in front of the shop.

"Meatball soup! Spicy and spicy soup!" The hawking voices could be heard from afar.

The long street is bustling with noise, and the alleys are filled with all kinds of peddlers and artists, including those carrying charcoal, arranging flowers, selling fruit and dried goods, making fried noodles and blowing sugar figures, performing arts and martial arts... and the list goes on.

Besides food, drink, clothing and daily necessities, street vendors also sell some more amazing goods, such as pearls that shine in the daytime, pottery that changes colors, iron and stone that float on the platform...

Such lively and noisy, yet ordinary scenes made An Jing feel like crying.

at last.

After experiencing frost disasters, fleeing famine, selling oneself, struggling with the evil cult and the alien world... after fighting and fleeing again and again.

He finally returned to the world.
