The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 67: 66: Agreement, Harvest
outside the city,

In the grove.

After making sure there was no tail behind him, Chu Zhou finally lifted up his straw raincoat and cloak and threw it aside.

Then, he just lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

His body was covered with wounds. Although none of them were serious, the blood had stained his clothes red, which looked quite scary.

Of course, it only looked scary. With Chu Zhou's control over his muscles, he had already healed the wound and even the blood had stopped flowing.

Along with Chu Zhou's breathing, a large amount of hot air rose from the pores of his skin. In just a breath, it filled the surroundings like a human steamer.

But when he was in it, Chu Zhou felt the long-lost exhilaration.

Martial arts, after all, still require fighting. Although there was no fight to the death in this battle, the scuffle with two marrow training masters finally made him feel the limit and pressure.

Under this kind of pressure, the body was stretched to the extreme, as if it had reached the state of body tempering and reached a higher level.

Of course, this is not enough to erase the fear in Chu Zhou's heart.

"I was impulsive, really impulsive. It would be fine if I could just fight with Tongmai masters of a higher level, but I had to look for these masters of Lian Sui Realm. I really overestimated my own abilities."

"We have to reflect on this. We really have to reflect on this. We can't become complacent after achieving some success. This time is fine, but if we really run into those innate warriors, there will be no way to escape."

"So, caution is a must. Steady growth and doing things within your capabilities are the right path, and only then can you live longer!"

Well, Chu Zhou actually has to admit that he is quite contradictory.

On the one hand, due to his personality, he is not a high-profile person, and he doesn't like to deal with masters whose strength is beyond his own.

The martial arts in this world are biased and flawed, but there are also true masters. And even though he has seen the path to immortality, hasn't he not yet cultivated immortality?
Just be careful!
But on the other hand, the main task is also there, and Chu Zhou is just about to be told not to delay and just rush forward!
The bigger the reputation, the better!
It is this kind of entanglement that makes Chu Zhou a little "schizophrenic" in doing things, but this is the reality!
What? What do you think we should do next time we encounter a martial artist at the Marrow Training Realm?
Of course, I would kill them!
Are you kidding? The rate he’s growing, if he fails to kill them next time, it will be because he’s incompetent!
However, after this incident, the old foxes in Baisha City guessed what they should know.

……

White Sands City,
Even if an agreement is reached with the Yunya Sword Sect, the Zhou family's bodyguards, and the ghostwriter, it will be a sleepless night.

Led by the constable, leading the county soldiers under the command of the county lieutenant, and inviting some experts to take charge, they can quell the chaos in the city one street after another.

This was naturally busy, but no matter how busy it was, the county magistrate pulled Captain Wang aside and asked softly, "Is that the one who solved the Xue family?"

Captain Wang looked a little strange and asked, "Sir, are you sure that person is not yours?"

"..."

The county magistrate was anxious. He was anxious: "It's fine if the county lieutenant and the others don't believe it, but don't you know? If you say this to me again, I will be angry with you."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

"Don't ask for forgiveness, just tell me, right? The straw raincoat and hat, the fighting posture, it looks like the annihilation of the Xue family, the Xue family..."

Captain Wang's eyes became more serious, and he said, "If they are not lying, then that's it."

"So, Xuanzhen Temple? Is it really that Xuanzhen Temple?"

"I'm not sure, and I dare not be sure, but I can only say that it looks very similar!"

Captain Wang seemed to have remembered something and said, "There is another thing. It is said that Master Wei Wu sent his son to Xuanzhen Temple to learn martial arts. He did not do much to protect his son, but this is the fact."

"Haha, our Master Wei Wu really has good taste!"

……

The next day,

In the afternoon,

Xuanzhen Temple, living room.

Wei Jinkui, who had just rushed back from the city, drank tea in big gulps, and after he had evened out his breath, he said, "The news has been found out.

Last night, a man in a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat took action. He first saved the county lord from assassination, and then had a big fight with two masters of the marrow training realm. It is hard to say who will win or lose, but with this man's action, both sides have concerns. "

"Before the man in the straw raincoat left, he bowed to the county lord. So now almost everyone agrees that the master is the county lord's hidden power."

"With this, the county lord negotiated with several parties and finally reached an agreement."

Chu Zhou was curious: "What agreement?"

Wei Jinkui gestured with his hand: "Using Wuyi Street as the boundary, draw a circle in Baisha City. Even if they have a fight, they must stay within the circle.

As for the civilians, they must all be evacuated.”

"Will they comply?"

“When two powers compete for supremacy, the others are just tools and can be used as you wish; but when there are three powers, naturally there will be some concerns.

Anyway, it seems that they have all agreed to it, and they have also made it clear that if they cross the line, they will inevitably be attacked by the other companies together."

Chu Zhou found it hard to understand: "No, now that the situation has become like this, why are they still thinking of fighting to the death?
Besides, if you want to fight, why don't you move outside the city?"

"Haha, do you think they don't want to? They just don't dare!"

Wei Jinkui saw it clearly: "I said before that this is a disaster, a disaster of great magnitude, how can it be so easily resolved.

You see, they are just getting started.

In other words, when the fighting in Baisha City stops, the battlefield may move to Anyue City, the capital of Tianquan County, or even the entire Tianquan County may be in chaos. "This matter is definitely ten or a hundred times more serious than you think.

I don’t know who killed Zhou Chongwen, but I want to say that the person who killed him succeeded in stirring up chaos.”

Having said this, Wei Jinkui shook his head again, threw away these chaotic thoughts, and looked at Chu Zhou, looking him up and down.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that. It gives me chills!"

"So I told you so?"

"you say……"

"The man in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat who fought against the marrow training master last night, was it you?"

Chu Zhou shook his head decisively: "No!"

"No?! Tell me it's not? That raincoat that is almost non-reflective, that bamboo hat, do you think I'm blind? And when you came back last night, they were all dripping with blood?
If you lie to me, can you please be more careful? "

"Since you have already made up your mind, why are you asking?"

Yeah, why are you asking?

Wei Jinkui asked himself the same question, but after a moment, he understood, because it was really unbelievable!
Even though he already knew Chu Zhou's speed in practicing martial arts, he still found it hard to accept.

……

Regardless of what is happening in Baisha City, Xuanzhen Temple is in a bit of chaos at the moment.

Not only were there many women and their relatives living in the Taoist temple, but the area at the foot of the mountain outside was already filled with people.

These refugees who escaped from Baisha City had nowhere to go, so they could only find a place sheltered from the wind, use wooden sticks to prop up a few pieces of rags, and barely shelter from the wind and rain.

But the daytime in autumn is not so bad, but it is a bit cold at night. It’s okay for the young and strong, but for the young who catch a cold, it’s a big problem.

Moreover, when there are too many people, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating become problems, which is also a headache.

The affairs of Baisha City were too far away for Chu Zhou to care about, but he couldn't ignore this person who was so close to him.

So, this morning, Chu Zhou led people and made various arrangements.

For example, digging temporary toilets, building urinals, and requiring everyone to excrete waste products in fixed places.

For example, arrange people to transport food from the farm, build porridge sheds, and cook porridge.

The mountain gate was opened and Taoist Qingjing was invited to treat the patients, while Xu Cheng was responsible for boiling and decocting the medicine.

In short, there are not too many tedious things to do, and there are too many aspects to consider. In order to maintain order, he even borrowed the disciples of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School to act as a temporary guard team.

After a busy day, things only became somewhat orderly in the evening.

In Baisha City, news also came in one after another, which was basically the same as what Wei Jinkui had found out. A certain area in the city had become a battleground for martial arts masters.

Fortunately, they were relatively peaceful outside, and the looting and smashing in other parts of the city had basically subsided.

This has curbed the outflow of population, and is the reason why Xuanzhen Temple can stabilize the situation.

It is worth mentioning that on the evening of that day, Chu Zhou found Wei Jinkui again.

After the two sides discussed it, Wei Jinkui immediately selected a few capable disciples and sent them to Anyue City in Tianquan County.

That was where the Yunya Swordsman and Wenxiang Temple were located, and the people sent by Wei Jinkui all brought his letters and looked for his acquaintances in Anyue City.

The purpose, of course, is to gather information!
The fight in Baisha City is just the beginning after all. What will really decide the direction of events will be in Anyue City.

Therefore, Chu Zhou’s idea is to get first-hand information so that he can respond better.

However, the distance was quite far, so they could only arrange for people to send messages through the post station, which was a bit slow.

By the time these things were done, it was already completely dark, but there was another noisy sound coming from the foot of the mountain. It turned out that a long line of carriages were heading up to Xuanzhen Temple.

Chu Zhou had met the visitor several times before. He was the housekeeper of the Zhao residence and the most capable man under Mr. Zhao.

What was unloaded from the carriage were neatly arranged gold and silver, boxes of copper coins, a box full of secret books, and various ancient medicines.

Just these, at a glance, are far more than the benefits promised by Mr. Zhao.

As the saying goes, when something is unusual, there must be something wrong. As expected, a slim woman got out of the last carriage. She was the second daughter of the Zhao family.

After all, because he loves his daughter so much, Mr. Zhao can stay in Baisha City by himself. Well, as the county magistrate, he can no longer escape.

But he still sent his daughter here, as far away from danger as possible.

To be honest, Chu Zhou was actually quite annoyed with this person, but since the person was here, he couldn't completely deny Zhao Yuanwai face.

So, people had to squeeze out one room.

The environment is naturally far inferior to that of the Zhao family, but at this time, it is good enough to have a place to live.

After all this was arranged, Chu Zhou finally calmed down and had the mind to sort out his many gains.
