Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 70 Inquiry
Yizhou is located in the southwest of Dayin Dynasty. It is geographically remote and surrounded by high mountains. It borders Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou. However, because of the barrier of mountains, there are not many actual exchanges.

After driving for half a month without haste, Gu Shen came to the boundary of Yizhou after passing through many narrow paths in the rugged mountains.

And Gu Shen's destination is in the west of Yizhou, where there are many high mountains, where apes want to climb up and climb, the terrain is the most dangerous and rugged, except for Yaonong and hunters, there are few people.

After arriving in Yizhou, Gu Shen found that compared with Jizhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou and other states that he had traveled all the way, Yizhou seemed much more stable. This was related to Yizhou's geographical location. It was a place of its own and had little communication with other states. The impact is also small.

Moreover, Gu Shen found that there are some sayings about immortals circulating in various prefectures in Yizhou, which is not the case in other prefectures. Gu Shen guessed that it might be because Yizhou is close to Qingyunmen, and occasionally someone would see Qingyunmen. Immortal cultivators, then this kind of fairy tales will become popular.

……

……

Two more days passed.

"Oh, it also has an impact."

On the fifth day after arriving in Yizhou, Gu Shen discovered a village that had been massacred.

Although Yizhou has little communication with the outside world, it has also been affected.

There are often soldiers and horses passing by, people are panic, many fields are barren, there are dead bones on the roadside, and occasionally bandits are rampant.

Although the chaos is not as serious as the states outside, it has already begun.

After another seven or eight days of riding on a pony, Gu Shen finally arrived at Rongcheng, the westernmost city in Yizhou.

The city of Rongcheng is tall, but it is still far inferior to the capital city.

There were soldiers checking in front of the city gate, Gu Shen took out the road guide that he had prepared earlier.

After some inspections, Gu Shen led the horse and walked into Rongcheng. Because there were less wars, Rongcheng was quite prosperous.

Gu Shen stopped in front of an inn called "Biyun Inn", and further forward was the destination of his trip, where he wanted to do some rest.

After handing over the little horse to the waiter at the inn, Gu Shen asked for a room, and then sat down at a dining table in the lobby.

"Xiao Er, four dishes and one soup, I want your special dishes." Gu Shen said.

The shop clerk bent over and smiled in response, then turned to prepare.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The color and aroma could not compare with the Yuezhou Building in the capital, but compared to the simple food that Gu Shen traveled all the way, it was quite delicious.

While eating, Gu Shen listened attentively to the conversations of other guests in the lobby.

It's just a pity that no one talked about the theory of immortals, let alone topics related to Qingyunmen.

Although there is no gain, Gu Shen is not in a hurry, he already plans to stay here for a long time, first to increase his understanding of Qingyunmen.

After eating, Gu Shen went back to his room to rest.

half year later.

It is already spring, the season of recovery of all things.

noon.

Outside the city of Rongcheng, three miles away from the south gate of the city, there is a station called Hewan Station.

Hewan Station is not only an important post station set up by the imperial court, but also an important gathering place for hired workers and porters in Zhenjiangkou.

There is a simple teahouse more than ten feet away from the Hewan post station, and at the moment the teahouse is full of people, most of whom are hired workers looking for errands in Zhenjiangkou.

There are more than ten long tables in the teahouse for customers to drink tea, and there are thirteen or four long tables in the open space outside the shop.

In the teahouse, in front of a long table in the southeast corner, sat a young man in a gray robe. It was Gu Shen who had been inquiring about information in Chengdu and the surrounding provinces for half a year.

Hard work pays off, in the past six months, Gu Shen has inquired about a lot of information related to "immortals", and has also designated a few places where it is easy to get information, and he will come to these places every once in a while .

This teahouse is one of the places he designated.

The teahouse does not have a name. The owner’s surname is Zhang, and his family runs Liu, so many people call him Zhang Laoliu. This teahouse is also called Zhang Laoliu Teahouse or Zhangjia Teahouse by many people.

The Zhang Family Teahouse specializes in the business of low-level people. It only costs five Wen each time to drink herbal tea or hot tea without wasting any money.

This cheap price is very popular among the nearby employees, especially when it is lunch time. Some of the employees brought dry food from their homes, and they met in a teahouse to sit down for a meal and drink tea.

And when so many people get together, they will inevitably talk about the mountains, and many of them will occasionally mention some fairy tales.

For example, now, at a long table near the door of the teahouse, four or five shirtless porters are eating dry food and talking loudly about the strange things they have heard.

This made Gu Shen, who was sitting in the southeast corner of the teahouse, put down the tea bowl in his hand and began to listen carefully.

PS: Dear readers, many friends have returned from other places during the National Day these days, looking for drinks every day, which delayed the update. Starting tomorrow, the update will resume normally. Sorry, big guy.
