130 called to come to the door.
The night was dark and the wind was high, the air was frigid, as if it had cracked itself. Dark clouds covered the earth, and He Chen quickly ascended to high altitude. The night watchman was on duty, keeping watch at his post in the dead of night.
Now, there are outposts set up on every street at night specifically to deal with any events that occur then. And since the city isn't fully built yet, there's no City God Temple or anything like that. So, people have to guard it at night. It's said that once the city is fully built, ordinary ghosts and spirits really won't dare to cross it.
It's incredibly mysterious, which is why the ancients were so attached to houses. Inside a house, some things are forbidden. No entry without permission! This wasn't just a saying.
That evening, Wes, clad in armor and with a sword at his waist, personally patrolled the area surrounding the market, his expression cautious. He was especially wary of He Chen's residence. Although there were skilled guards present, he didn't want any petty thieves to disturb them.
Especially the people of Weijia Village. They've all moved here now. And many people know that the people of Weijia Village enjoy many benefits. In particular, many young people from Weijia Village have joined the city guard, although the risk is high, the benefits are also very good. They receive two taels of silver per month, plus other perks.
So now, young men in Weijia Village are extremely sought after. Matchmakers are practically breaking down their doors; the demand is many times greater than before. The village used to be very, very close to the mountains.
Although I have quite a few wild beasts, and their pelts and herbs fetch good prices, making a decent living is still a challenge. This is also why many young people later left. Therefore, Wes and the villagers cherish their current lives very much.
Moreover, the young children in the village used to learn from the elders of the clan and also had to work, so they didn't have much time to learn. Just like myself in the past, because I was talented, I received more genuine resources, while other people my age naturally received less.
Now, the children in the village attend school here—or rather, primary school. Not only is tuition free, but they also receive meals at noon and in the evening. This means they can essentially support themselves, greatly reducing the burden on their parents.
There's no need to worry. You can go to work another day. We don't know what to do with the child. We're afraid of being carried off by wild animals. We're also afraid of being kidnapped by human traffickers. Now that there's a primary school for them to attend, adults are much more at ease.
"Uncle Wei, come in and have some hot water. Eagles are patrolling the skies tonight. There are brothers all around, so you don't need to work so hard. Let us do the patrols carefully." A strong young man from Weijia Village said, as he took out hot water to pour Wei a cup of hot tea.
The young and strong man wore leather armor underneath, and full armor, with hand and shoulder guards on his body. He held a hundred-refined sword in his hand and carefully looked around.
Wei Si didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the hot water and drank it down. He said, "Wei Qing, you must practice your swordsmanship diligently every day. Take advantage of the peaceful and stable times now and train hard."
Wei Qing glanced around. He said with certainty, "Yes, Uncle Wei, the young people in the village are all studying hard now, but some have switched to other sword techniques, especially Wei De. After switching to the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Sword Technique, his swordsmanship has improved dramatically, progressing at a rapid pace."
Wes nodded and said, "Our Wei family's Five Dragon Slashes may not be suitable for everyone. Now, the master is giving everyone a chance to choose a new manual. The best one is the one that suits you!"
If you have time, you can go and take a look. Of course, our Mad Dragon Five Slashes, at its highest level, can slay a true dragon.
Furthermore, every secret manual has its unique strengths. Now, the adults are willing to release these manuals for everyone to use, but you must be able to cultivate them yourselves. You must not reveal them privately, and you must not teach them to others.
Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. Even if the adults don't care, I won't let you off the hook.
After listening, Wei Qing nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Si, please rest assured. We will definitely remember this." Then he looked at the sky. At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the visibility was not high, probably only three or four zhang.
It's still early before dawn. 'Uncle Si, you can rest here for a while. I'll have someone make you a bowl of wontons. You can go on your patrol after you eat.'
Guard Wes shook his head and said, "No need. I still need to patrol another street later. It's been unusually quiet at night lately. I'm always worried about it. Besides, your cultivation is the most important thing right now. Break through as soon as possible. I'll come over and have a bowl after the inspection is over."
Please be careful at night as well. Signal immediately if anything happens. Also, try to communicate with the police station regularly.
Wei Qing nodded and said, "Yes, we understand." Then he hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something.
Seeing this, Wess asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wei Qing quickly approached, leaned close to her ear, and whispered awkwardly, "Miss, will you also be the city lord's wife in the future?"
Wes paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "This is Miss's prerogative. Don't pry. Focus on your own affairs and cultivate diligently. Strive to reach Miss's level."
Then he gently patted her shoulder, turned, and left.
Wei Qing watched the departing figure in silence for a while. Then he carefully inspected the street he was on duty for.
In the sky, He Chen soared like a roc, covering ninety thousand miles. With a flap of his wings and light steps, he covered eight thousand feet in a single stride, rapidly flying towards Wanzhou.
They flew incredibly fast. In about half an hour, they saw Wanzhou City. From afar, they could still see some torches burning brightly inside the city, illuminating the darkness and making them stand out remarkably.
Because of the large population, the sky above the city resembled a blazing furnace, so hot and fiery that even ordinary ghosts and spirits would avoid it like the plague. They dared not approach.
This explains why people yearn for large cities; at least they wouldn't have to worry about being haunted by evil spirits. This city is probably three zhang high (approximately 10 meters). Even ordinary wild beasts would have a hard time leaping over it, and of course, ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't simply run over either.
Following their instincts, the demonic beasts generally wouldn't dare venture into large cities. The gates were tightly locked. On the city walls, several armored figures could be seen patrolling. This looked much better than Huangtu City.
Then I thought about what Mr. Wang said about wanting to go and see the big cities. He certainly had a good reason. So here I am today.
Then, with a light step, he arrived above the city and saw a brightly lit area. It was bustling with activity, a lively scene. He leaped lightly from the air and quickly arrived at the entrance.
