night.

Qin Yi sat at the table and turned on the lamp to look at the map in front of him.

"Quanzhen Taoist Temple is located in Lingcheng County in Jiangbei County. Lingcheng County is not very far from Xiangzhou Prefecture City, about a hundred miles, but it must first reach Xiangzhou Prefecture City, and then go to Jiangbei County."

Looking at the markings on the map, Qin Yi's eyes were burning: "Being stronger is right in front of you!"

……

Early the next morning, Qin Yi and Father Qin hurriedly had breakfast at the Taoist temple and then headed down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, he walked on the official road and headed towards Xiangzhou City.

After leaving Huangsha Town, it was getting closer and closer to Jiangning County.

Because the official road to Xiangzhou City was bypassed from the edge of Jiangning County.

From a distance, Qin Yi was surprised to find that there were many thick smoke billowing from Jiangning County City in the distance, and it went straight for nine days.

"What happened in the city?" Qin Zumin looked at the thick smoke in the city and asked puzzled.

"There was a fire?" Qin Yi touched his chin.

He stepped forward and stopped an uncle who came in a hurry.

"This uncle, what happened in the county town? Why is the smoke billowing?" Qin Yi asked.

The uncle, who seemed to be in his forties, looked at Qin Yi's burly figure. He was a little impatient when he was stopped and said with a bitter face: "I heard that there are rebels in the city, it seems that the entire county town has been captured!"

"What? Rebels!" Qin Yi and Father Qin looked at each other.

This news was a bit unexpected.

The city of Jiangning County, which was fine yesterday, was captured by the rebels today.

"Take a small path and don't follow the official road." Qin Yi pulled his father and started to hurry.

No one knows whether the rebels in the city will leave the city, and there is still some danger in taking the official road.

After half a day, Qin Yi and his son had left Jiangning County and entered a county called Zhibei County.

On the official road, there were many pedestrians, and many people brought their families with them. It seemed that they all came from the towns near Jiangning County City.

They are all fleeing!

The rebel army appeared in the city of Jiangning County, and it has scared many people's courage. Those who can escape will definitely not stay at home!

"I didn't expect that Jiangning County City was also occupied by the rebels. I don't know when it will be." Father Qin said with emotion.

"Dad, don't worry, we just need to stay away from the place where the rebels appeared." Qin Yi comforted a few words.

……

Ten days later, the father and son finally arrived in front of the city of Xiangzhou.

Looking at the giant city in front of him, which is even more majestic than Jiangning County City, makes one feel a sense of security.

The city wall alone is fifteen meters high!

This is the first time Qin Yi has seen such a high city wall.

It was noon now, and there were still many long queues at the gate of the city, all of whom were entering the city.

"Father, let's queue up to enter the city."

"Okay." Looking at the giant city in front of him, Father Qin seemed to be in a much better mood.

The first line was a line that had been lined up for over an hour, and finally it was Qin Yi's turn.

The soldier in the bright armor looked at Qin Yi and the two of them and said indifferently, "Lu Yin."

Qin Yi took out the guide of the two and handed them to each other.

The soldier took it over and looked at it. When he saw that the two were from Jiangning County, there was an inexplicable smile on his face: "It costs one hundred cents per person to enter the city!"

"One hundred wen?" Qin Yi frowned. The person in front just paid ten wen to enter the city. Is he treated differently?

However, Qin Yi still took out the 200 wen copper ticket and handed it to the other party, and the other party happily let them in.

After entering, the father and son found an inn to live in, two hundred yuan a day, including room and board!

After moving in, the two ate something in the room.

Looking at the tired old man, Qin Yi said, "Father, you go to sleep first, I'll go out."

"Okay." Father Qin fell asleep.

Qin Yi changed his clothes and left the inn.

When he came out, he mainly planned to take a good look around the prefecture city to see if there were any martial arts gyms that also had 6-dan martial arts to learn, and by the way, he would buy a few sets of clothes or something.

"As expected of a state city, it's quite prosperous." Qin Yi looked at the flow of people on the street, various shops, and those street vendors, and he didn't feel like he was in a troubled world at all.

On the street, some armored patrols can be seen from time to time.

After walking around for an hour, it was almost evening.

Qin Yi really found out that there are five or six martial arts gyms, all of which can be learned from the sixth stage of martial arts.

"There is still no first-class martial arts above dan 7 that can be learned." Qin Yi was slightly disappointed.

It seems that first-class martial arts are indeed a scarce resource.

Even Jiuduan martial arts, in Dayong, has always been in the hands of the imperial court and the state religion, the Liuli School.

When Qin Yi was passing by a painting and antique shop, he suddenly stopped.

He thought of the broken Dao map in the iron box in his arms.

"Go in and have a look!" Qin Yi didn't forget to look for the missing one-fifth of the Tao map in his arms.

This calligraphy and painting antique shop is very big. After entering, there are many calligraphy and paintings on the walls of the entire hall, and a lot of antiques and jades are also placed on the wooden shelves in the middle.

"This gentleman, what kind of objects do you want to see?" An old man at the counter of ~lightnovelpub.net~ greeted him with a smile.

"I'll take a look first." Qin Yi said.

"Okay, please, sir." The old man made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Yi watched slowly in the hall.

There are some paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall.

Most of them are landscape paintings, or some copybooks and poems.

After looking around, I didn't see any calligraphy and paintings related to Daomen.

"Treasurer, do you have any calligraphy and paintings about Taoism?" Qin Yi asked.

"Calligraphy and painting of the Taoist category?" The old man was slightly taken aback.

Few people buy such items!

Unless it is a pilgrim who believes in Taoism, or someone who likes Taoism.

"Yes, yes, or few, I'll find it for you." The old man said.

"Okay, thank you, the longer the age, the better, it doesn't matter if it is incomplete." Qin Yi added.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old man rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found three paintings and calligraphy.

Two are pictures of Taoism, one is painting and calligraphy, on which is written a Taoist scripture.

Qin Yi took it over and looked at it. The two Taoist pictures were both drawn by a Taoist priest, with some mountains and rivers in the background.

The Taoist priest in the painting is not the old Taoist in Tsing Yi he wanted, and the Taoist map looks like an ordinary Taoist map.

After reading it, he was slightly disappointed.

"My son, these two Taoist paintings are from the hands of famous masters in this state..." The old man began to introduce them eloquently.

After a dry introduction, "Sir, which one do you want to buy?"

"These road maps do not meet my requirements for the time being. I will not buy them for the time being. I will disturb the shopkeeper. Next time there are new ones, I will take a look again." Qin Yi refused.
