When passing through the gate of Qianzong, the surrounding scene became illusory, and when it became real again, Yun Yuan had already left the Shangzhen Forest directly, and there were a few sparse houses in front of him. Where did the gate of the Qianzong lead to? Although he was no longer a member of the Qianzong, Yun Yuan couldn't help but ask in his heart, the location of this teleportation seemed to be different from the previous times.

Glancing back at the sky behind him, one of the clouds looked like a human face, smiling at him.

Without delving into it, whether it was as he had guessed or not, Yun Yuan bowed deeply to the cloud.

……

Twilight Inn, Twilight Tavern, Twilight Wash, Scissor Blow...... It seems that this is probably the twilight town, there is not even a single figure in this town, and the tavern guys sit lazily in the doorway drinking small drinks, and have no enthusiasm to greet the guests. The door of the inn was tightly closed, as if it hadn't been opened. The barbershop's door was also closed, and a faint pink light peeked through the window....... town, as its name suggests, was lifeless and lifeless.

Where is this?Yun Yuan decided to ask someone.

"This brother, dare to ask where is the country of earthquakes?"

After searching for a long time, there was really no figure on the street, Yun Yuan had no choice but to target this tavern guy, this person looked very unkind, as if he was writing on his face, "My family is not a tavern, I am not a shopkeeper, don't look at it anymore, quickly disappear from front of me", where is the posture of running the hall. But there was no way to be the only one, Yun Yuan still walked in front of him and asked politely.

"Where did you come from, get out of here, this is not where you should be. ”

That person was really as difficult to get along with as it seemed on the surface, but Yun Yuan didn't give up and continued to ask.

"Is this called Twilight Town, and why are there so few people?"

"Damn, it's really verbose, this is Twilight Town, the border between the country of earthquakes and the country of departure...... Eh, they're coming, don't blame me for not reminding you kid, run, let them catch you and you'll die. ”

After speaking, he slammed the door shut, leaving Yun Yuan to fend for himself outside.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became loud and deafening, and it seemed that a large wave of people and horses were approaching.

Although the tavern guy just now had a very bad attitude, his words should be true, Yun Yuan decided to find a place to hide first, observe and then make plans. Looking around, Xiao Yunyuan immediately had a bitter face. The houses are scattered all around, where is there a hiding place? For a while, Yun Yuan was a little flustered.

Just when Yun Yuan was in a hurry, the door of a dilapidated house suddenly opened, and an old woman about the age of a sixtieth birthday hurriedly waved at Yun Yuan.

"Kid, come in. ”

Yun Yuan was overjoyed and rushed into the door.

……

The sound of iron hooves came, this was a group of strong men in armor and swords at their waists, judging from the costume, they should be soldiers, looking at the loose formation, and their demeanor, but they looked like bandits coming down from the mountains.

Yun Yuan glanced through the crack in the door, and turned around to thank the old woman.

"Grandma, thank you......"

"Stay quiet, go inside and find a place to hide. ”

The old woman covered his mouth and pushed him into the house, and Yun Yuan did so, found a large vat in the house, and hid inside. The old woman was also relieved to see Yun Yuan hiding, and then stood in front of the door as if she was about to be judged.

After a while, there was a rude knock on the door, and the old woman did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door.

"Master Jun. ”

The person who came was a big man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, followed by two soldiers, who seemed to be the chief and the guard.

"Hmm. He replied with disdain, and the man at the head said

"Routine inspection, is there any harboring of spies?"

"The grass people don't dare, the military master is clear. ”

"Search!"

After the search was over, Yun Yuan's heart hung in the tank as soon as he heard this, but after waiting for a while, there seemed to be no movement.

The old woman was not very nervous, because she knew what the real purpose of these people was. The two soldiers spun around at will, looked around, then pouted at the dilapidated house and furnishings, and reported to the strong man that there were no spies.

The strong man didn't delve into it, and then asked:

"Are you ready for this month's salary?"

The old woman's face was very ugly, but she still took out a few bronze knife coins from her bosom and handed them over tremblingly.

"Just, that's it?" the officer had a little human emotion as he stared at the money bag, as if it were the only thing in the world that evoked his humanity.

"Master Jun, I'm an old man, I can't make money by chopping wood every day, so I still save it from the rations, I ......"

"Okay, okay, Commander, don't stay here, let's go to that barbershop, I haven't seen you in a month, I miss the little girl in it." ”

The strong man was also a little excited when he heard this, and snatched the coin, because the strength was too great, the old woman fell to the ground, and the strong man didn't say anything, and coldly dropped a sentence, "Don't forget next month." He quickly left with two of his men, apparently unwilling to linger long in this shabby place.

The old woman struggled to get up, not knowing whether it was because of the pain of the fall, or because she was worried about the next month's "military salary", and silently wiped her tears.

Yun Yuan heard the whole incident in the tank, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and the bones made a snapping sound, these people are also worthy of being soldiers?

"Grandma, thank you for saving me. ”

"Oh, why did you kid come out, they haven't left yet, come in. ”

……

The collection of "military salaries" continued until noon, and only after listening to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance did the old woman release Yun Yuan from the vat with confidence.

"Son, where did you come from, and how did you get here?"

"I am a disciple of the Qianzong sect, and I left the sect because I lost my talent. ”

"Hey, it's a pity for this kid, it would be nice if he could keep cultivating the Tao, he would definitely be able to mix well when he grew up, and he wouldn't be in this world. ”

"Grandma, who are those?"

"Hey, who are the soldiers of our empire. ”

"What? soldiers, those people are simply robbers!"

"But isn't it, the six countries said that they had been fighting for many years, but no one really fought, and these soldiers stationed at the border used the pretext of collecting military salaries to loot us ordinary people, and if I couldn't pay the food next month, I would be treated as a spy ......."

As she spoke, the old woman couldn't help wiping away her tears again.

"Grandma, don't be afraid, I have nowhere to go, I can just stay and help you chop wood to make money, you don't have to take care of me to eat and drink, just give me a place to live, although my talent is gone, but my health is good." ”

"You are such a good boy, why do you have no talent, God is really unfair......"
