Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 635 Martial Arts Examinations Revive the Poor, Eagles Soar to the Heavens
"Brother Chu is also going to Yundu?" Bai Hanzhe was not quite sure.

Chu Danqing replied, "That's right, we can go together since we're going the same way."

"Of course, if I find it troublesome, I can go by myself."

Although Yang Qianyuan had reminded him that the focus was on Yundu, not Bai Hanzhe.

The reason he was allowed to go with Bai Hanzhe was because the kid had a remarkable journey.

Let Chu Danqing rub against him; he can get the mission.

Even F-rank missions can earn you Paradise Points.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to let Chu Danqing ride the cloud there directly?

If you want resources, there will be no easy way out.

"No, no," Bai Hanzhe immediately replied. "It is my good fortune to be able to go to Yundu with Brother Chu."

How could Bai Hanzhe possibly complain? He had gotten a great deal.

"Brother Chu, are you planning to ride the clouds there?" Bai Hanzhe asked.

"Oh? It seems you're not really interested in riding the clouds." Chu Danqing sensed the other person's thoughts.

Otherwise, Bai Hanzhe wouldn't have asked that question out of the blue.

"Brother Chu has a discerning eye," Bai Hanzhe said. "I still need to hone my skills on the road ahead."

"The imperial examination is a contest with the best in the world. Although I am confident, I cannot be complacent."

“I know that Yundu is a world of temptations. If Brother Chu is not in a hurry, we can go at our normal pace.”

"If it's urgent, Brother Chu, please go ahead."

Bai Hanzhe's idea was quite interesting; he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of Yundu.

So he planned to endure the hardships along the way. At his pace, once he reached Yundu, he would only need to rest for ten days or so before he could participate in the imperial examination.

It's true that he didn't pursue literature, but that doesn't mean he didn't study literature.

"Of course there's no problem." Chu Danqing couldn't wait to follow.

This is a good opportunity to complete more tasks.

"Then thank you for your understanding, Brother Chu." Bai Hanzhe's face lit up with joy.

The two then set off.

Bai Hanzhe quickly determined the direction and then set off with Chu Danqing.

"Speaking of which, what were you planning to do if you hadn't met me?" Chu Danqing asked curiously on the way.

Before Bai Hanzhe floated on the water, he had lost all his clothes and money, and was truly soaked to the bone.

If Chu Danqing hadn't given him a clean set of clothes and Da Bai hadn't treated him, he would definitely be sick now.

Given his physique, he shouldn't have suffered a serious illness like Chai Jungui.

But since there was no one around, he guessed that he was having a hard time.

“Let’s go and ‘borrow’ some silver from the bandits in the mountains,” Bai Hanzhe said.

Upon hearing the word "borrow," Chu Danqing knew something was amiss.

However, Bai Hanzhe clearly hadn't considered the possibility of him getting sick.

Once you fall ill, forget about "borrowing" money from the bandits; even being able to fight them is another matter entirely.

Chu Danqing didn't bring up the matter; they were just chatting casually on the way, not really making a fuss about anything.

They then had a more in-depth conversation, during which Chu Danqing learned about Bai Hanzhe's family situation.

Just as he had guessed, Bai Hanzhe's family was once a prominent family in the area.

The main problem is that this "great" family is limited to the city and is not even that great.

Then he fell on hard times.

Bai Hanzhe wasn't entirely sure why he had fallen on hard times.

He was only three years old when his family fell on hard times; what could he possibly know?

Fortunately, the truly valuable books in the house were not lost, which enabled him to excel in both literature and martial arts.

Of course, even if they are down on their luck, they are still from humble backgrounds and don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Later, after he passed the imperial examination for martial arts, even though he was the only one, he was able to bring the Bai family back to the ranks of a prominent family.

Otherwise, where would he get the money to go to the capital for the imperial examination?

"There's a village ahead. Let's stay here for the night," Bai Hanzhe said with a hint of excitement.

He didn't want to spend the night outdoors.

Chu Danqing naturally had no objections, and the two quickened their pace.

On the way there, a dark shadow suddenly blocked out the sunlight.

The two looked up and saw a huge golden eagle.

Chu Danqing discerned it briefly; it seemed to be a gyrfalcon.

However, a normal gyrfalcon wouldn't be this big, which immediately put Chu Danqing's mind at ease.

This might be a rare and wondrous object.

Before recognizing a master, a divine weapon exists as a wondrous object of heaven and earth.

Of course, when advancing to a higher level, it may revert to the state of a rare and wondrous object.

Just like the previous Mountain Turtle Shield.

These states will enhance the original mortal form.

For example, phenomena such as gigantification or possessing certain effects.

Bai Hanzhe also noticed this and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The golden eagle swept past, swooping down towards the village.

"Oh no, this golden eagle is going to snatch the livestock in the village." Chu Danqing immediately understood what the golden eagle was going to do.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Golden Eagle flipped over and grabbed a fat sheep in its talons.

Then, with a flap of its wings, it vanished without a trace.

Bai Hanzhe's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected Chu Danqing to guess correctly.

"Then let's stay here tonight," Bai Hanzhe said, feeling that they might not have anywhere to stay that night.

After all, something like this just happened in the village, so they might not necessarily offer to treat us.

“Maybe we’ll have a better place to stay.” Chu Danqing had a different idea: “After all, we’re not eating and staying for free.”

For Chu Danqing, silver and gold were truly worthless.

It's just that he's not very good at using it; he mostly uses it to improve his life rather than to launch financial attacks.

After entering the village, the two quickly settled down.

They were hosted by the village chief.

It's considered the best house in the whole village.

"Village chief, when we arrived we saw a golden eagle snatching away a sheep from your village. What happened?" Bai Hanzhe asked the village chief, who was smoking a pipe, while eating.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face immediately turned as bitter as a gourd.

“Brave warrior, you may not know this, but this isn’t the first time the golden eagle has come,” the village chief said helplessly. “It has come to our village more than ten times already.”

“Every household has suffered losses,” the village chief said. “Fortunately, it was a sheep that was taken today. I heard that a bull was taken from the next village.”

“We appealed to the government more than ten times, but nothing happened.”

"They said they were going to invite the commander of the army, but so far there has been no news."

Chu Danqing immediately understood why the government hadn't made a move.

The authorities must have suppressed the news and prevented it from spreading.

The villagers in each village knew about the divine weapon, but they were unclear about its specifics.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to report it to the authorities; they would have taken it down themselves long ago.

As for why the government has remained silent, it's likely not that they haven't acted, but rather that they've tried several times to acquire this divine weapon without success.

Therefore, we can only let this golden eagle wreak havoc.

Anyway, it's just making the common people suffer, but it won't harm them.

"Didn't the villages ever think of uniting to get rid of this Golden Eagle?" Chu Danqing asked casually.

“Of course there was, but just as we finished discussing it, the yamen sent people to order us to disperse and not to fight.” The village chief’s face grew even more bitter as he said this: “They even used this as an excuse to fine each village ten taels of silver.”

Being ordered to disband is one thing, but those ten taels of silver are a real problem.

After that, they dared not take any further action.

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Danqing immediately confirmed that her guess was true.

The reason why the villages were not allowed to fight against it was because if they succeeded, the divine weapon would fall into the hands of a villager.

This is not good news for those who plot to acquire divine weapons.

"Do you know where the Golden Eagle's Nest is?" Bai Hanzhe asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, the village chief seemed to realize that Bai Hanzhe intended to help them get rid of the golden eagle.

Otherwise, why would you ask that question for no reason?

So he quickly said, "Yes, yes, brave warrior, are you willing to help our villages rid them of this scourge?"

“If you brave warrior can rid this scourge of us, each of our villages will offer you a generous gift.”

Losing money like this every day is unacceptable; we're sure someone can help.

Bai Hanzhe looked at Chu Danqing, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

He almost agreed, but then he realized he was probably no match for Golden Eagle.

Therefore, the real main force must be Chu Danqing, the 'Commander of the Army'.

Given this, how could he possibly agree to Chu Danqing's request so casually?

"Is it far from the village?" Chu Danqing didn't answer immediately, but asked about the distance.

"Not far, not far. About twenty miles north of the village, there is a high cliff." The village chief hurriedly said, "That scumbag built its nest on the high cliff."

"Tomorrow morning, I will have a skilled hunter from the village take two strong men there."

It's already dark; who would send someone there?
What if they never come back and end up as food on someone's plate?
“It’s not far at all.” Upon hearing that it was only ten kilometers away, Chu Danqing immediately said, “Then let’s hurry back. We still have to travel tomorrow.”

As Chu Danqing spoke, he immediately summoned the five-colored auspicious clouds.

The village chief's eyes widened in astonishment.

He had heard of the extraordinary abilities of the military commander, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed one in all his years of life.

While Chu Danqing and the others believed that divine weapons were plentiful, they were extremely rare in the context of the entire world.

Sometimes a city only has thirty or fifty military commanders, so it's not easy to meet one.

Not to mention small villages like this.

"Brother Chu, well," Bai Hanzhe said hesitantly, "I'd also like to go and see him."

Chu Danqing laughed when he heard this. This wasn't about wanting to meet it; he clearly wanted to see if the golden eagle could become his divine weapon.

In fact, Chu Danqing had some guesses about Bai Hanzhe's original growth path.

He might not be able to "borrow" silver from the bandits, but he will most likely come to this village to recuperate.

Then, after obtaining the divine weapon transformed from the golden eagle and receiving the village's reward, I was able to continue my journey to Yundu to participate in the imperial examination.

The deviation was caused only by Chu Danqing's involvement.

Fortunately, this was the only village along the way, and since the two of them were on foot, they didn't miss it.

Of course, these are just Chu Danqing's guesses.

It can only be confirmed if Bai Hanzhe actually obtains this divine weapon.

But once Chu Danqing actually gets his hands on it, he'll have to reassess Bai Hanzhe's situation.

The park certainly wouldn't have arranged for him to meet Bai Hanzhe at the location of the dilapidated temple for no reason.

This means that the other party's assistance accounted for a significant portion of the process of acquiring Lin'an Menghuaxi.
