Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian rode their horses on the main road.
From afar, Ye Qingxian saw a sign with the word 'tea' written on it and said,""There's a teahouse in front, stop and rest for a while!”
Zhang Chen had no objections to this. There was no lack of horses on a long journey, so it was indeed necessary to stop and rest often.
If the journey was long, he couldn't miss out on places like tea houses and wine houses.
If he missed it, he might have to sleep in the open.
The two of them counted the horses and walked into the simple teahouse. They saw that there were already a few guests sitting in the house.
The faces of the guests were covered in dust and sweat, making it impossible to see their true faces.
When they saw Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian enter, they only took a glance and ignored them.
In fact, everyone was secretly shocked.
Do you know why?
This was because Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian's faces were very clean. Not only was there no sweat, but there was also no dust on them.
There was no village in front of or behind this place, and pedestrians came and went on a long journey.
After such a long journey, there was no dirt on his face. There was only one explanation-his internal energy was deep enough!
Internal strength was a good thing that could be used as a jack of all trades!
If one was poisoned, they could use their internal energy to force the poison out. If one was not strong enough, they could use their internal energy to make up for it. If one was not fast enough, they could use their internal energy to make up for it. Even if they did not want to have children, they could use their internal energy to force them out…
It was also one of the functions of internal strength to cover the dust while traveling.
However, there were so many uses for internal strength. Why would people in the martial world waste it on shielding themselves from dust? Once his internal strength was exhausted and he happened to encounter an enemy, wouldn't he be killed?
Such a crucial question, even a child who often roamed the martial world would understand.
However, the two who had just entered were still willing to use their internal strength to cover the dust.
Were they fools? It was obviously impossible!
There was only one explanation. Their internal energy was unfathomable, and the internal energy consumed to block the dust was basically negligible.
The guests in the teahouse could only pray in their hearts that they would not be the kind of ruthless person who would take their lives at the slightest disagreement.
Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian ignored what the others thought. They ordered a pot of tea and a plate of dry food and started eating with pickles.
In wuxia novels, the heroes of Jianghu would order spiced beef and good wine wherever they went, but Zhang Chen did not order any of them.
The Great Xia Kingdom did not lack meat, but in the wilderness, no one knew if the tea houses sold human flesh or some other kind of meat.
For ordinary Jianghu people, they were more worried about whether there was poison in the wine and meat.
Compared to wine and meat, it was not easy to poison dry food because the smell of dry food was light and one could smell it if there was a slight odor.
It was even more difficult to poison tea because tea itself had the effect of detoxification.
In this era, there were many poisons that could be added to tea, but most of the toxicity would be affected. A small portion of the toxicity that was not affected was also expensive. Ordinary people in the martial arts world could not afford it.
Therefore, it was safer to drink tea and eat dry food in the wild. More importantly, they would not eat human flesh...
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside, but no one entered the teahouse after waiting for a long time.
Zhang Chen was puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart.
As mentioned before, in this remote area, it was strange to pass by the tea house without entering it.
However, there were many strange things in this world. How could Zhang Chen investigate everything?
However, he did not know that the group of people who had just passed by happened to be related to him.
Outside the teahouse, a few horses whizzed past and stopped a mile away from the teahouse.
"Did you see it clearly?" asked a knight. Is it that fat sheep's horse?"
"Look carefully. There can't be a mistake."
"I rushed slowly and finally arrived in front of the other party.”
"What should we do? Is it an ambush or poisoning somewhere else?"
"It's not appropriate to ambush him. That man's martial arts are too high. I'm afraid that we can't kill him and will be beaten to a pulp instead.”
"Then let's poison them from behind! But the problem is, we still don't know which path they will take!”
"Pick a random path and then place someone at the intersection to keep an eye on it. If you make a mistake, start again. In short, you can't make a mistake.”
"Alright, let's do that."
……
Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian continued on their journey and soon arrived at a fork in the road.
There were two roads ahead, one leading to Hongzhou and the other to Yazhou.
The road stele was a little blurry. Zhang Chen carefully read it for a moment before he recognized the words on the stele.
His fingers were like swords as he re-engraved the words on the stele.
On the side of the road, the spy who was disguised as a person resting and hurrying on his way widened his eyes. He could not believe his eyes.
"Good boy! Using his finger to carve words on the stone tablet, how high was this person's martial arts?”
For people like them who traveled the martial world, very few people could see profound martial arts.
Most of the fights between ordinary people in the martial world stopped at using swords and swords to fight with strength.
Martial arts practitioners and martial artists were two different concepts. Martial artists might not know martial arts, and martial artists might not be in the martial arts world.
What internal strength competition, what killing with sword qi from several zhang away…To ordinary people in the martial world, it was actually very distant.
Otherwise, the masters on the Grandmaster List would not have appeared so high and mighty.
Ordinary people in the martial world relied on their eyesight, wisdom, and methods.
If these three qualities were outstanding enough, even an ordinary person could pull down an expert on the Grandmaster Rank.
There were many such cases since ancient times. Many ordinary people inherited the martial arts of martial arts experts for various reasons, leaving behind legends.
Some of the protagonists in the legends relied on luck, while others relied on strength.
Therefore, one could not be arrogant and domineering just because one's martial arts were strong. Otherwise, one might die on the streets at any time.
……
Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian re-engraved the stele and rode to Hongzhou.
The scout by the roadside was delighted and thought happily,"Hongzhou, it's actually Hongzhou! Hehe! He had actually guessed correctly! Alright!"
