Chapter Twenty-Six: The City of Sorrow (I)
Kyoto rarely rains, it is close to the center of the mainland, and further down is the desert, and it is said that the ancestors of the Zhao family deliberately chose this lack of rain as the capital to requisition as little arable land as possible. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The last thing that could not be sold in Kyoto was an umbrella, but the first thing Ning Caichen did when he came out of the palace was to buy an umbrella.
This is a very nonsensical thing, and what is even more nonsensical is that Ning Caichen chatted with the umbrella seller.
"Uncle, the weather is good today, hehe. β
The old man who sold the umbrella looked at his first customer in a few days, and his face was stiff instead of smiling as it should be.
"Huh. β
The old man echoed very perfunctorily, with a humble face, and his gaze carefully swept over the sedan chair behind Ning Caichen from time to time, as well as the dozens of guards with knives on the side of the sedan chair.
"It's miserable, it's miserable, which official took the wrong medicine today, it seems that the stall can't be saved. β
What scene had the old man never seen in his life in Kyoto? He felt that the seemingly loyal and honest official with a goatee in front of him was by no means as weak and simple as he seemed on the surface.
Looking at the formation of hugging in front and back, looking at this unnutritious clichΓ©, and then looking at this dog-like official, this is obviously the existence of the newly appointed chief soldier in the city guard, and for the traders, this kind of person can be equated with vampire zombies.
The old man carefully watched his goods while carefully maintaining a nourishing conversation with Ning Caichen, and he prayed that Ning Caichen would leave as soon as possible.
It seems that God heard the prayer in the old man's heart, or the heavens heard the prayer of Ning Caichen and the old man at the same time, and made a choice after weighing which one was easier to achieve.
A guard behind Ning Caichen stepped forward to separate the two, and he bowed to Ning Caichen and said, "Lord Zhuge , it's time to go back to the house, there is a banquet set up for you by the third prince in the evening, you have to prepare in advance." β
"Ahh All right. β
Ning Caichen was helpless, he took out some copper coins from his arms and put them on the old man's stall, and then sat in the sedan chair under the guidance of the attendants.
"Get up in the sedan chair and go home!"
The guard who stood up to persuade Ning Caichen ordered loudly, and his official authority seemed to be better than Ning Caichen in official uniform.
"What a weirdo. It's so dangerous. β
When Ning Caichen and his party were gone, the old man who bought the umbrella breathed a sigh of relief, and he picked up the copper coins left by Ning Caichen from the stall.
However, when he held the copper coin in his hand, his face changed.
"There is a thousand gold buried in Lanruo Temple, waiting for people who are destined. β
The old man flipped a copper coin to the back, where a line of small characters was engraved.
There were ten copper coins in total, and the same was true for each one.
"Shhh
For a moment, the old man felt his heart skip a beat.

Mo Ye and Yan Chixia had already arrived outside the capital.
"The four city gates are under martial law, and there is a perception enchantment that envelops the entire city, and it seems that the other party knows that we will come. β
Yan Chixia stood on a dirt slope and looked at Xiongcheng from afar, this old Jianghu seemed to see something powerful, and waved his hand to stop Mo Xie's footsteps from stepping into Kyoto.
"Brother Mo Xie, let's do it again at night, don't hurt ordinary people. β
Yan Chixia didn't say what he saw, because he felt that the doorway he could see naturally couldn't hide Mo Xie who was carrying a Sumeru mustard seed magic weapon.
"It's okay, let's find a place to rest for a while, the big centipede is in a high position and has been operating here for many years, we have to be fully prepared. β
Mo Xie knew that he was not Pudu Cihang's opponent, although he did not use the 'Soul Destroying Seal' in a hurry, but Pudu Cihang even dared to play with the Buddha's golden body, and it is estimated that he would not care about the small 'Soul Destroying Seal'.
In the final analysis, ghosts and demons are not what Mo Xie is good at, and this time Yan Chixia has to be the main force.
The main force said to act at night, so let's act at night.
"Let's go. β
Yan Chixia belonged to the action faction, and seeing that Mo Xie agreed, he slowly retreated from behind the high slope.
In order not to startle the snakes, they chose to land ten miles away from Kyoto when they came, Yan Chixia didn't have any money on her, and Mo Xie only had paper money on her, so they could only walk.
Half an hour later, there was a cave somewhere five or six miles from Kyoto.
"Let's ......"
Mo Xie sat on the ground and nibbled on compressed biscuits, he was recovering from a serious injury and was young, and it was the time when he was easily hungry.
People who have no money in their pockets will naturally not enter any inns and restaurants, and their so-called rest is just to find a place where no one drives them, and when they are lucky, they stay in a broken temple, and when they are unlucky, they sleep in the mountains and forests. Yan Chixia had a lot of experience in this kind, so he found a cave, and Mo Xie could be regarded as having a little light.
"Brother Mo Xie, what are you eating?"
Mo Xie's eating appearance is very bold, a mouthful of biscuits and a sip of water, and the fragrance of compressed biscuits emanates in the air, so that Yan Chixia can't help but look sideways.
He looked at the compressed biscuits wrapped in plastic paper in Mo Xie's hand, and then looked at the drinking water packaged in plastic bottles at Mo Xie's feet, he had never seen such a thing in Yan Chixia's cognition, and he secretly guessed that these things should be from Mo Xie's master.
"Dry food, what's the matter, Brother Yan is hungry?"
Mo Xie didn't wait for Yan Chixia to respond, and directly handed over a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits.
"No, no, no, I have it myself. β
Yan Chixia waved his hand and didn't take the water and food handed by Mo Xie, he untied a bamboo tube from his waist, and after making a few seals, he poured out a yellow and clear ball from the bamboo tube and took it in front of Mo Ye.
"These days, don't cultivators avoid fireworks in the world?"
There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes when he looked at Mo Ye.
You must know that at the beginning, he was regarded as an outlier because he was not afraid of fireworks in the world.
"Bigu Dan, unless you go into retreat, who will eat that thing as food?"
Mo Xie smelled a hint of fragrance from the pill, and a name came to his mind, in order to play his current identity as a 'cultivator', he pretended to be surprised.
"Hehe, that's right. β
As soon as she heard Mo Xie's words, Yan Chixia suddenly had a good impression of him in her heart.
"Brother Yan still demands himself with high standards even if he is in the rivers and lakes, and the younger brother admires it. β
Mo Xie put down the water and food, he had actually eaten almost, walking with Yan Chixia along the way, the information that should have been said about Pudu Cihang had already been said by him, and he didn't say a word about how Ning Caichen fell into the hands of Pudu Cihang and how much chance of survival he could have at this moment. But there was one thing that Mo Ye wanted to ask so much, but he couldn't ask it all the time.
Yan Chixia is not a person who is easy to be trapped, at least not when she is in a hurry.
