Chapter 18: The City of Mega Water

  After Qu Yun's eyes were completely healed, Si Cheng spent a few quiet days at home with his parents before mentioning that he wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain to learn the art. The Great Immortal Doctor (Si Honglie) didn't have much of a reaction after hearing this, thinking that it was good for young men to venture out into the world and make their mark, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bring Qu Yun back in his own youth.

  Although Qu Yun didn't say anything, her eyes revealed a deep reluctance to part with him. This time, her son wasn't going out to hunt for fierce beasts to cure his eyes like last time; this time he was going out to learn a trade and might not be able to come back for a long time. She only wore a worried expression, telling Si Cheng to take good care of himself in the future and, if possible, come back often to visit.

  And Shi Cheng also nodded repeatedly in agreement, who can say clearly what will happen later, anyway, if there is a chance, try to come back as much as possible. Afterwards, the whole family fell into deep silence.

  Half a month later, Si Cheng's days in Hongzhu Village came to an end at the grand banquet that shook the entire village of Hongzhu. Si Cheng slung over his shoulder the Fengyun Sword, which was now heavily wrapped in hemp cloth. He then took up a small bundle and bid farewell to his family, to the Si household, and to the entire Red Bamboo Forest.

  As his eyes swept over the village, he took in the entire Red Bamboo Village, and finally, when his gaze fell upon the Red Bamboo Forest, he paused for a moment. The Demon Overlord's wife, who had been stranded, immediately strode out of the village with large steps.

  Kunlun Mountain is located in the far west of Hongzhu Village, with a distance of about 10,000 miles. At the current speed of travel, it would take at least one month to arrive. Fortunately, there is still about half a month before the recruitment of disciples starts on Kunlun Mountain. Sicheng is not in a hurry and only needs to arrive a few days in advance. Arriving too early would also be a burden for people from mountain villages.

  This time, Si Cheng brought some clothes and silver coins. The Si family was not short of silver coins, but Si Cheng didn't want to bring too much, just enough for the journey would be fine. Having too much could also be a kind of disaster sometimes.

  After walking for three days, the front was no longer a mountain forest, but a vast plain. In the center of the plain stood a city, Giant Water City.

  Jù Shuǐ Chéng is the only city within a radius of three thousand miles, including Sī Chéng's hometown Hóng Zhú Cūn, which falls under its jurisdiction. However, that remote mountain village is too much trouble for Jù Shuǐ Chéng to bother with.

  Looking at the vast plain, Sicong's mood felt much more open.

  "It's great outside!" exclaimed Cheng sincerely.

  When he arrived at the gate of Giant Water City, Si Cheng was greatly surprised. A long queue had formed at the gate, stretching for at least a hundred meters.

  "Good grief! What's going on today? Why is it suddenly being checked so strictly?"

  "You don't know, do you? It's said that a big shot has arrived in the city, and they're doing this to leave a good impression on him. Otherwise, the guards at the city gate wouldn't care about how many people are coming or going."

  As the crowd waiting outside the city whispered among themselves, Si Cheng also understood the beginning and end of things.

  It turned out that when entering the city, as long as enough money was paid, it could pass through safely. Today, because a big man came to Giant Water City, there would be individual checks and inquiries at the city gate, so the entry speed slowed down a lot.

  But in this way, there is one good thing, those who enter the city today, as long as their identity is not a problem, can enter for free, which saves Si Cheng a sum of money.

  After waiting for two hours, it was finally time for Si Cheng.

  "Where are you from?"

  Hongzhucun Village

  "How old?"

  Fifteen

  "What strength?"

  "None", Si Cheng hesitated for a moment before quickly responding with "The Personal Death God".

  The guard looked at Si Cheng and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

  "Come on in."

  As the sound of the guard's voice fell, Si Cheng looked towards the wide city gate and walked in.

  As soon as he entered the city gate, the wide and spacious road that appeared before his eyes deeply shocked Si Cheng, a standard country bumpkin. Later, seeing the crowds that were almost squeezed to the point of being waterlogged, even the widest roads seemed a bit insufficient. Si Cheng secretly cursed, this city was countless times better than the mountain village, but there seemed to be too many people, and it was hard to find a quiet place.

  Xia Cheng shook his head, thinking that it wasn't so bad after all. Cities had their advantages, but mountain villages also had their own merits; it just depended on individual preferences and perspectives.

  "My father said that there is an inn inside the city, let's find an inn to rest first and continue on our journey tomorrow." With this thought in mind, I casually walked in a certain direction.

  Carefully making way through the crowd, shouts and curses can be seen everywhere, but Cheng would not bother with these things.

  "Hey, young man, do you need any help? For just ten taels of silver a day, I can assist with directions, shopping, accommodations, and dining - there's nothing I don't know!" Just as Cheng was hurrying through the crowd, a shrill voice pierced his ears.

  Sai wrinkled his brow and turned to look at the person speaking. Across from him stood a middle-aged man, thin as a skeleton, with a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks, whose words were quite piercing.

  At this time, the person was half-bowing and smiling at Sicong. However, Sicong didn't want to cause any trouble and ignored him, turning around to continue walking.

  Seeing Si Chengli ignore him and turn to leave, the man's gloomy expression flashed by, and he quickly caught up, saying in that piercing voice again: "Young brother! Young brother! Please stay."

  Sai Cheng's face darkened and he turned around to face the man.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Haha, this little brother, I'm Wang Xiaosan. After struggling and rolling around in this giant water city, who wouldn't give me some face when they hear my name?" But when Wang Xiaosan saw that the person didn't take the bait, he actually felt a bit of a strong taste.

  "Oh? Is that so? But I've never heard of it." Si Cheng said with a surprised tone and a hint of cold smile.

  "If there's nothing else, excuse me, I still have a journey to catch."

  Watching Si Cheng's receding back, Wang Xiaosan was so angry that his teeth chattered.

  "Damn it, I've been on this road for so many years and have never seen such an uninteresting guy." He then turned his head and waved to the people around him.

  Then came two people who were dressed like beggars.

  "Hehe, Brother Wang, what can we do for you?" The two beggars said with a very friendly attitude.

  "This is two taels of silver, you two go and help me keep an eye on that person from just now, wherever he goes, whichever inn he stays at, come back and report to me" As he spoke, he tossed the silver to the two men.

  "Great! Brother Wang, just wait for our good news." Then, with a smile, he followed in the direction of Si Cheng's departure.

  "Hmph! I'd like to see just how arrogant you are. You've offended me, Wang Xiaosan, in this great city of water. I'll make sure you don't get away with it." Wang Xiaosan gazed in the direction that Si Cheng had walked off in, his eyes flashing with a faint, cold light.
