104 Native landers
It was freezing cold, and it was nearly dusk.
Walking in a small city on the border of Tianqian at night, I watched the lights of the houses on the side of the road turn on one after another, setting off the clouds and haze in the sky very heavy.
Of course, this is not a sign of the coming mountain rain, but the tranquility of the beginning of the wind and snow.
At the moment, there is a lot of snow on the ground, but there are still small snow particles floating in the sky, and it seems that there is a tendency to fall again.
In the original setting, it was this heavy snow that covered Zhong Wuyan's traces and allowed her to escape safely into this small city.
This small city located on the border is actually not small, because of the special geographical location, after the opening of the Tianqian kingdom to the outside world for free trade, it has actually become an important hub for merchants from several neighboring countries to trade back and forth, under the inflow of a large amount of capital, this backward town that originally had only a few small earthen houses has undergone earth-shaking changes, countless magnificent houses have risen on the ground, and the area of the town has been expanding, as if it has been much more prosperous than the vast majority of cities in the country of Tianqian.
Because Emperor Shenwu has specialized in martial arts in recent years and does not attach much importance to trade, although this town is becoming more and more prosperous and larger, it has not been officially named from Tianqian.
However, for the merchants who often come to the city, this nameless town is no different from their second home, and in order to separate this town from other nameless towns, the merchants affectionately call this small city 'dry port', which means waterless port.
The streets and alleys of Lugang City are full of pedestrians on weekdays, which can be said to be like clouds and sweating like rain, but due to the heavy snow for several days, there are few passers-by on the road today, and most of the people are hiding in the house to warm up. Only a few homeless border displaced people and wild cats and wild dogs, cowering and hiding under the eaves of the corners, trembling and enduring hunger and cold.
Not surprisingly, there will be many frozen corpses on the road tomorrow, more people than dogs.
In contrast, in those majestic and atmospheric walls, pavilions and pavilions, warm as spring, can be seen through the far north night behind the lights behind those windows, a few wisps of bamboo sound can be heard in the distance, for the rich and noble, in such a snowy scene, it is a pleasure to drink and talk happily.
The howling north wind seems to have become a little more biting.
The strong wind blew the accumulation on the ground, mixed with the more and more goose feathers floating in the sky, and soon covered the footprints left by the northern night march, turning the entire inland port city into a white expanse.
However, Beiye did not sigh at the qualifications of this kind of Zhumen wine and meat, because all of this is his setting.
It was he who set up such a city where the gap between the rich and the poor is very huge, full of indulgence and oppression, full of desire and despair, and the system just faithfully restores his setting.
At the end of the day, all the sins that happen in this city are his sins.
And Bei Ye didn't sigh anymore, because in the three years he had been in the world, he had seen too many similar scenes.
The suffering of others set up for the purpose of making the protagonist grow.,It's just a plot for yourself.,It's a real life for others.,This kind of perception can be said to be the second biggest gain of the North Night in the world in addition to cultivation to a certain extent.。
And after the initial anxiety and guilt, now Beiye has clearly realized that when the world is self-contained, he has lost the ability to intervene in it, and wants to reverse all this, he can only truly integrate into this world, complete the growth of the protagonist in the setting, reach the top of this world, and then change it.
So now all he has to do and can do is practice.
"Wow..."
The sound of a carriage interrupted Beiye's contemplation, and when he raised his head, Beiye saw an old horse coming in front of him in the wind and snow, dragging a carriage that looked a little shabby, and moving forward with difficulty against the wind. The old horse of the trailer was covered in hot sweat, and every step forward seemed to be fighting with all his strength, occasionally looking up and neighing, as if he was cheering himself up, but he only spit out a cloud of white gas, which was a waste of energy.
The strange thing is that there is no one sitting and driving outside this carriage, although from the traces of the wheels rolling in the snow, it seems that there should be someone in the carriage, but in such weather, there is not even a person driving on the road, and the north night can only sigh that the people in this car are really big-hearted.
However, he sighed and sighed, Beiye didn't have the heart to take care of other people's affairs, and now when he first arrived in Lugang, he was still thinking about how to find Zhong Wuyan, who hid here.
After all, in addition to the mission of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, getting to know Zhong Wuyan was also an important plot in his original story, and the system also released a special system task for this, with a maximum reward of 5,000 plot points and three additional coupons.
However, even if Beiye doesn't want to find trouble, it doesn't mean that nothing will happen.
Just as the carriage and the North Night were about to pass by, the old horse suddenly paused, as if he had discovered something, and turned his head to move his nose at the North Night, as if to discern what the smell was.
Then, the old horse's originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and the decadence on his body was swept away, and he suddenly burst out, strode and rushed towards the northern night, opening the horse's mouth and biting towards the northern night!
The suddenness of the old horse's attack, Bei Ye's heart was also shocked, but fortunately, at this time, he was no longer the dead house where he had first learned cultivation, and the cultivation of the peak of the third order gave him the ability to deal with any unexpected situation!
Not to mention anything else, because of the Phoenix King's immortal body, the current physical strength of the North Night can be described as hard, even if you stand in place and let the old horse bite it, it is estimated that in the end it will only be the teeth of the old horse that will be broken.
However, after a little hesitation, Beiye still dispelled the idea of staying still, after all, if nothing else, just look at the spit splashing when the old horse bites it, Beiye can smell the other party's bad breath against the wind, who knows how many bacteria there are in it, it is better for such a character not to be contaminated or not to be contaminated.
With a sideways flash, Beiye dodged the impact of the old horse, and kicked out with a kick, kicking the old horse out to the side.
However, although Beiye kicked the old horse away, the next thing made his expression a little more solemn.
Although the kick he just kicked at the old horse was mostly a warning, but in the end, it was also a real third-order blow, according to Beiye's expectations, although his kick would not kick the old horse to death, but it should not be a problem to let it fall to the ground and temporarily lose its mobility.
It's just that the result is not what Kita Ye thought.
The old horse was not kicked to the ground by Beiye, but spread out on all fours, and slid sideways on the snow with the carriage for a while, and it was hard to eat Beiye's kick!
Immediately afterwards, in the shocked gaze of the northern night, the old horse stood still leisurely, showing a complicated expression on a horse's face with bared teeth, and actually spoke:
"MD!
"I've told you everything, let me bear with me, don't be so impulsive, it's okay, hit the iron plate, and suffer, right?" A voice that sounded a little weak and a little helpless came from behind the curtain of the carriage, and then a palm lifted the curtain, revealing a young handsome but slightly pale face.
"Is that you?" After seeing the man's face clearly, Bei Ye was stunned for a moment, and the person sitting in the carriage was clearly Ye Wulang who lost the dispute with him three years ago and then ran away!
"Hehe, Beiye, I really didn't expect to see you here. Ye Wulang smiled lightly, and suddenly couldn't help coughing a few times, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you hurt?" Facing Ye Wulang again, because he is not a character in his original setting, Beiye doesn't know if he is friend or foe, but in the end, everyone is a member of the Ye family, even if there are some disputes between each other when they are together, but it is not a big feud, when they get outside, if they can help when they encounter each other's difficulties, Beiye is still willing to do their part.
"Cut, what, I've been hungry for so many days, I thought it was rare to meet a good blood food with a bit of cultivation, but you know each other. The old horse looked at Beiye with a regretful face and said.
"Hehe, you can't take him alone. Ye Wulang chuckled, "Three years ago, this kid was able to make me suffer when he was still in the sword qi realm, and now that he has reached the sword master realm, his cultivation alone is not much worse than your heyday, you can't be his opponent." ”
"Three years ago, the Sword Qi Realm made you suffer?how could it be?!" Lao Ma had an incredulous expression, "I'm afraid you're kidding me." ”
Faced with Lao Ma's questioning, Ye Wulang just smiled quietly and was noncommittal.
"So how did you get hurt?" Bei Ye asked, "I heard about you just last year, it is said that you have broken through and entered the realm of the Sword King, with your cultivation, there are not many people in the world who can beat you like this, right?"
"I didn't mess with anyone..."Ye Wulang shrugged, "I was careless, I was too eager to break through, and I hurt my meridians, so it's good to recuperate for a while." ”
"When I came to Lugang this time, I also heard that Lu Wenyan, a famous wealthy businessman here, has an elixir that can warm the meridians at home, so I thought about coming over to make a deal with him, he gave me the medicine, and I helped him kill someone. ”
"Murder?" Bei Ye frowned, "Indeed, I heard that you became a killer after you went out of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, and it is said that you have made a lot of reputation in the killer world. ”
"That's true, being a killer who can not only sharpen himself in battle, but also quickly obtain a large amount of resources, is very helpful to my cultivation, and I really enjoy it. ”
Ye Wulang said calmly: "After all, I am a person who crawled out of the pile of dead people, compared to a comfortable place like the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, this kind of life of licking blood with a blade will be more suitable for me." ”
"But then again. Ye Wulang said, "Go to Lu Wenyan this time, do you want to go with me?"
"Coming with you?" asked Kitaya, "Why?"
"Don't underestimate the killer's intelligence network. Ye Wulang said with a smile, "The moment I saw you, a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, appear in the Lu Harbor, I knew what you were doing here. ”
"Get in the car, I can give you a ride. ”
