Chapter 6: Panning City: A New Life is About to Begin
The big black ox stood up, its hooves kicked fiercely at the mans back, and the sound of bones cracking resounded.
Bang!
Terrified, The man spat out a mouthful of blood as his body tilted forward, barely able to maintain his balance.
Chen Xun remained incredibly calm, his adrenaline surging. He drew out the Mountain-Opening axe from his waist and swung it fiercely at the man's neck.
The immense force buried the weapon deep into the mans neck, almost to the bone. Chen Xun's face was sprayed with blood as he continued to pant heavily.
"Old ox, do your job." Chen Xun's pupils trembled slightly as he took out a flint; the forest was full of dry branches.
Not daring to waste any time, the big black ox began to dig a pit nearby.
They didnt dare take anything on the mans person. The corpse was set ablaze, burning away all the evidence as ashes scattered. Both man and ox quickly destroyed any traces left behind. They then ran off with accelerating pace. Chen Xun swore that in his entire life, he had never ran this fast. The big black ox was even faster than him.
Two hours later, several people arrived at the spot where the fight took place, all frowning.
"Master, Liu Tian stopped here at that time."
"Why?"
"There was a young man leading a big black ox. It seems that Brother Liu wanted to buy his animal to supplement the new disciples' nutrition."
"Hmm."
The master stood on a tree branch with hands behind his back, observing the ground, "There are signs of burning. And the footprints are chaotic, making it hard to determine the direction he headed in."
"Master, could Brother Liu have been attacked?"
The man was startled; Liu was a strong member of the Bai Xuan Sect, and if something had happened, it ought to have caused some waves.
"The attacker was very cautious and left few traces, but the young man is the key." Frowning, he asked, "Does anyone remember his appearance?"
"Reporting to master... no one remembers," The man bowed his head and replied. Who would bother remembering the face of a cowherd, especially when on a mission?
"Worthless bunch."
"Master, please calm down."
The others also bowed their heads and said, "Liu's death is indeed suspicious."
Chen Xun was filled with amazement, looking around in all directions. Everyone who glanced at him received a smile in response, leaving them with a good impression.
He observed the soldiers guarding the city gate with curiosity. It was his first time seeing ancient soldiers, and indeed, they did not disappoint; exuding a strong and vigorous aura.
One of the city guards furrowed his brow as he noticed a young man seemingly sizing them up. Before he could approach him, the young man unexpectedly raised his thumb, giving an affirmative look. The guard was taken aback, then, he stopped and smiled, nodding in acknowledgment. "So thats what that was?"
As they went beyond the city gates, both Chen Xun and the black ox froze in their tracks, a magnificent scene unfolding right before their eyes.
The streets were remarkably broad and were filled with countless street vendors hawking their goods. Street performers showcased their skills, drawing enthusiastic crowds who generously tossed copper coins in encouragement.
The pedestrians walked by, dressed in silk, emanating charm with every gesture as they displayed their magnificence.
And when they looked upwards, they saw numerous pavilions and towers adorned with lanterns.
Scholars engaged in duels of poetry, and beauties accompanied them as they listened, or recited their own pieces which they have come to adore. Their beautiful visage enraptured the mind.
The duo were left mesmerized. "Wonderful!"
Chen Xun and the ox decided to stand on the periphery near the acrobats and enjoyed the show, contributing to the atmosphere. But suddenly, struggle appeared in Chen Xuns eyes. "We cant just stand here freeloading," he thought.
He searched around his waist for a second before throwing a copper coin into the gong. The performer heard the sound and immediately turned towards Chen Xun, breathing out flames, and making the performance even more spectacular.
"Great!" Chen Xun exclaimed happily, clapping his hands.
The black ox was surprised. Judging by the persons performance, it thought that they must have been a cultivator to perform such tricks for them. It was truly a sight worthy of a big city.
After watching for a while, they stepped out of the crowd and bought two sticks of sugar-coated haws. Both Chen Xun and the ox took a big bite, causing the passing young ladies to giggle.
"These are really exquisite crafts," Chen Xun said, his eyes wide open, looking at the vendors on the roadside.
Everything was handmade. These people depended on this craft to make a living, so they couldn't afford to be dishonest.
"Young man, see anything you like?" The vendor greeted them kindly.
"I'm just looking. I'll definitely buy something when I have money in the future," Chen Xun replied, feeling a little embarrassed but sincere in his words.
"No problem. I have a damaged wooden carving here. If you like it, take it," the vendor said, taking out a lifelike tiger statue, only, its tail was broken.
"Boss, let's exchange. I have some rice here, and I really like this carving," Chen Xun proposed.
"Deal!" The vendor handed the carving to Chen Xun, who, in turn, gave him some rice.
Back on the street, Chen Xun held the carving with both hands, unwilling to part with it. The big black ox watched in envy and wondered why the vendor didn't give it one as well.
