Village chief Wu was very talkative. Seeing that Zhou Wu was particularly respectful to Xiao Qingran, he took the initiative to let his wife accompany Xiao Qingran throughout the meal.
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, Village Chief Wu personally led everyone to the entrance of the Ancient Martial Arts Realm.
The entrance is in the mountains behind the village.
There are more than a dozen experts on duty at the entrance.
Song Qi and Zhou Wu took out two tokens at the same time.
Song Qi was holding an ordinary token from the Heike clan.
Zhou Wu was holding the elder token of Xuanmen.
The moment Song Qi saw the token in Zhou Wu's hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This person turned out to be the elder of Xuanmen, a hidden sect in the ancient martial arts world.
How could Xiao Qingran actually invite this person?
Considering that Xuanmen had also appeared at Mr. Lu’s birthday party, it immediately became clear.
Perhaps this Xuanmen elder was invited by the Lu family on behalf of Xiao Qingran.
In his eyes, Xiao Qingran was just the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and nothing else.
This was also the reason why he was reluctant to bring Xiao Qingran to the ancient martial arts world at first.
But now, he was very glad that Xiao Qingran came with him.
With the Xuanmen elders here, even if there is a 99% chance of danger, at least half of it can be resolved.
Legend has it that people in the Xuanmen sect can see through life and death and predict the future.
Before setting off, he believed that Xiao Qingran must have asked the elder beside him to calculate.
Otherwise, the Lu family would not easily let a young lady like Xiao Qingran come to such a dangerous place.
He has always believed that Xiao Qingran was the one who was paying attention to the eldest daughter of the Heike family.
Now it seems that the facts may not be what he thought.
"leader."
When the group of twelve people saw Village Chief Wu, they immediately saluted him respectfully.
"Open the mountain gate."
Village Chief Wu nodded to one of them.
The man glanced at Xiao Qingran and the others, then immediately walked to the side of the mountain and opened a circular mechanism.
With a few crisp clicks, a stone door in the mountain's belly shifted to the side, revealing a passage two meters long and nearly three meters wide.
From the outside, all you can see is a foggy scene inside, and nothing else can be seen clearly.
"Everyone, I'll take you here. Whenever you come back, you must come to visit Wu's home."
Village chief Wu waved to everyone.
The group walked towards the door.
Song Yueqi and Zhou Wu took the lead, holding the token in their hands.
"Everyone, follow closely. The barrier will only be open for about two minutes."
Song Yueqi glanced at Zhou Wu and saw that he looked indifferent, so he didn't say anything more.
Xiao Qingran sensed that the gray mist was a barrier separating the ancient martial arts world and the secular world.
The token is the medium to pass through this barrier.
Under normal circumstances, a regular token can be opened for about two minutes, and can only bring in a maximum of ten people.
Like Zhou Wu’s elder token, it can be opened for a longer time and can bring more people in.
As soon as the group entered the Ancient Martial Realm, Xiao Qingran felt a gust of cold wind. It was as if the temperature had suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. She shivered from the cold.
At this moment, a warm big hand suddenly held her small hand, and the cold wind behind her was suddenly blocked.
"I didn't expect the winter in the ancient martial arts world to be twice as cold as the secular world."
Luo Jiuyan almost held Xiao Qingran in his arms, using his body to block the cold wind blowing towards Xiao Qingran.
"It was a bit of a miscalculation."
Xiao Qingran smiled bitterly.
She only brought a down jacket and long boots, and not much else to keep warm.
"Put your hat on."
Luo Jiuyan took out a furry white fisherman's hat from somewhere and put it on Xiao Qingran's head.
As soon as she put on the hat, Xiao Qingran felt that several pairs of eyes were looking at her and Luo Jiuyan.
Zhou Wu coughed lightly.
When Xiao Qingran looked at him, his old face flushed uncomfortably, and he whispered, "Master, three kilometers ahead is the gate of the border town of the Ancient Martial Realm, and it is also the only entrance to the Ancient Martial Realm. To enter the city, you need to pay ten coins per person."
"Ten dollars?"
Xiao Qingran was still thinking that there were eight of them in the group and it cost 100 yuan to enter the city, but the other party still wanted 20 yuan from them.
Zhou Wu took out a silver lump the size of a finger from his clothes.
"It's ten copper coins. The ancient martial arts world still uses ancient copper coins. The small change I have is worth a hundred coins, which should be enough for us to enter the city."
Song Yueqi, who had already taken a handful of copper coins, silently put the extremely heavy copper coins back.
Compared to copper coins, small change is the most widely circulated currency in the ancient martial arts world.
However, he brought only silver ingots, each weighing ten taels. If he really wanted to break them into pieces, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Xiao Qingran's expression shifted slightly. She had never expected that the ancient martial arts world, like her previous life, also used copper coins and silver.
She was now a little impatient to go into the city and see if the buildings in the ancient martial arts world would look like those in her previous life.
"Hey, why are there still wheel tracks on the road? Can we drive in?"
Duochou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pointed at the tire tracks on the ground with a look of shock.
It would be so convenient if I could drive.
"You can drive. But only the natives of the ancient martial arts world can do so. Outsiders are not allowed."
Song Yueqi explained to everyone.
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu's face flushed: "I'm driving at my age, do you dare to sit in it?"
In fact, he can't drive at all.
Everyone felt that what Zhou Wu said made sense. At his age, with poor eyesight, it would be easy for him to drive the car into a ditch if he was not careful.
So everyone put the matter behind them.
Soon an ancient city appeared before the eight people.
