Chapter Seventy-Four: "Childe"
Xiao Luo and Xue Yun stayed in the teahouse for a long time, chatting and drinking tea as if nothing had happened, but they always paid attention to the movement of the restaurant not far away.
After all, the two of them were already monks in the Jindan stage, and because of the cleansing influence of Xue Yuan's source power, their five senses were extremely keen, and they could easily detect it...... Ever since they entered the city, they had been watching the two of them as if they were not.
It was coming from the direction of the restaurant, and there was a lot of precautionary exploration, but for the time being, I couldn't feel any evil thoughts in it.
The sun was about to set, and just when Xiao Luo and Xue Yun felt that they couldn't stay in the teahouse any longer and were about to get up and leave the teahouse, there was finally movement at the door of the restaurant not far away.
From the time they took their seats in the teahouse, a whole afternoon of work had passed, and they had never seen any guests enter the restaurant that looked ordinary and would welcome guests, and everyone in the city had no special reaction.
At this time, the group of people who walked out of the restaurant was led by a young man, dressed in brocade clothes, a gilt jade crown, and a seemingly ordinary folding fan in his hand, stepping out of the restaurant door with his chin slightly tilted, with a two-point smile on his face.
Xue Yun and Xiao Luo could see each other's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building at a glance, and ......
The realm is unstable, and the cultivation is not real.
But he was followed by the first ......
Cultivation is obviously above the two of them.
Even the few remaining ones who look like errands are not lower than the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building.
On the barren land of Yuanzhou, it is already very remarkable.
The young man at the head hadn't noticed anything yet, and the eyes of the only Jindan monk in the group had already looked at the two people in the teahouse.
Calm and unwavering, but with a coercive warning.
Just one glance, for a moment, no one else noticed anything, but Xiao Luo and Xue Yun in the teahouse were nervous.
It was only a little worse than the Qishan Hui I had seen in Su Zhen at the beginning.
The two monks in the early stage of Jindan in front of them can't see through the cultivators, even if they are not Jindan Great Perfection, they are also monks in the late stage of Jindan who are not long away from Yuanying.
This line of work is about the number of cultivators, some of them are like Qiaozhou near the junction of Cangzhou, Suzhen Qishanhui and Chen Ting. The difference is that at the time of Su Zhen, Qishanhui was the absolute leader, and Chen Ting and the other monks were all his subordinates, but at the moment, the Jindan monk with the highest cultivation was a subordinate position, and with several other foundation building monks, the lowest cultivation in the group of people who respected the leader was the main master.
Xiao Luo and Xue Yun withdrew their gaze from the monk's coercion.
There is no casual cultivator to rely on behind him Walking outside, usually it is better to have more than one thing, especially in the face of entrenched forces and high-level monks, most of the time they will swallow their anger and not care, so after the instant "confrontation", Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, two people who are also Jindan monks, suddenly "lost the battle" and retracted their gaze and stopped looking at it more, and the people around them, including the monk who warned and pressured, were not surprised.
In this way, it will not attract attention.
didn't look at the group of people who left slowly, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun waited for a while after they left, and then left the teahouse together.
Obviously, the prince in Chinese costume led by him is the Feng family with the highest status in Dingyuan City, Yuanzhou.
Although this time, Xue Yun did not see the identity jade plate of the Feng family again.
But the only one who can still be so arrogant and wanton in the city where the Feng family exists can only be the Feng family.
......
Yuanzhou is not as good as other state capitals, Dingyuan City is not even as good as Loucheng, and even a courtyard with a simple defense and spirit gathering formation that can be rented by monks has not been seen, so Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan had to find an ordinary courtyard, which was arranged by Xiao Luo himself.
In order to be as low-key as possible, Xiao Luo even suppressed the speed when he was using the most ordinary way of arranging the formation.
Although, the two of them are now the only two of the three Jindan monks in this Dingyuan City, and they are destined not to be ignored.
“...... Looks like we won't be able to stay longer. ”
Hearing Xue Yun's heavy sigh, Xiao Luo smiled, walked over and reached out to rub her hair: "It's the two of us who are careless, I guess we were targeted as soon as we entered the city, and now even if we stay, we can't keep a low profile and inquire about the news." ”
Xue Yun was pressed in his heart, and he couldn't care about his actions of messing up his hair again for a while: "If the two of us don't enter Jindan, we still have to build a foundation...... It might be more convenient. ”
Xiao Luo shook his head: "The Feng family must have a plan to stay in this realm, looking at this appearance, I still don't want more people to know, even so, as long as you pass by a strange monk close here, no matter how deep or shallow, you will be noticed." Jin Dan is only a little more conspicuous than Zhuji, and in terms of results, there is no difference. ”
“...... With the Feng family's current prestige on the Kyushu Continent, what is the matter that needs to be avoided like this?"
Xiao Luo narrowed his eyes: "It's inconvenient to do it as the Feng family." ”
Xue Yun sighed again, his brows furrowed.
Knowing that there is something, knowing that there is something strange, but on the contrary, they are not easy to investigate now.
Even, if the two of them don't leave as soon as possible, but stay in Dingyuan City for a long time, I'm afraid that even if they don't do anything and don't explore, they will be suspicious and jealous of the people of the Feng family here, and even ......
Hands-on removal.
There are only the two of them, against the Feng family's forces in Dingyuan City, even if they can rely on the power of the origin and even the Kunwu sword to win, it is equivalent to being completely exposed to the behemoth of the Feng family, and they may not be able to detect the purpose and effect of the Feng family in Dingyuan City, which is really easy to gain more than it loses.
"Then come back. The previous thing couldn't be figured out, so Xue Yuan turned to another flash of doubt: "Dingyuan City is also a rare city with a number of names on the boundary of Yuanzhou, but there is no trace of the Treasure Pavilion. "In fact, along the way, the number of stores in Jumbo Pavilion all over Wonju is indeed ...... is far less than other state capitals, and I don't know if it is because Yuanzhou is barren and has few people, and there is no profit in business.
"The Treasure Pavilion is open all over Kyushu, but it is outside the power of various families and sects, and never participates in the major affairs of Kyushu, only focusing on earning spirit stones and silver money. Xiao Luo paused: "Behind it, I don't know which force is backing it." ”
"I vaguely remember that in the early years, my father used to be a neutral force that really didn't care about the strife between monks. Xue Yun said softly: "At that time, I didn't think much about it, but now I recall my father's words...... It is impossible for the Treasure Pavilion to be opened by ordinary people, and there must be a monk force behind it, but even so, it can be done without being involved in the battle of the Kyushu cultivators, abandoning selfishness, and not leaning towards any side, it is really ...... It's not easy. ”
Xiao Luo was silent for a moment, and chuckled: "If there are shops in the Treasure Pavilion in Dingyuan City, now that the situation is going to take a look, try to find out the news." ”
Xiao Luo's is also what Xue Yuan had thought about before.
It's just a pity.
“...... Shall we leave tomorrow?"
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: "If you don't investigate this matter, will you be sure?"
Xue Yun hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's really not, it's like this now...... To be honest, it's easy for me to think a lot about anything, and when I think about it, I can't let it go, and I always want to figure it out. Dingyuan City is such an obvious disobedience, I do have a heart...... But just like before, we can't find anything when we stay, but we will cause more trouble. It's better to leave Dingyuan City first and go around the surroundings to take a look. ”
Xiao Luo had a shallow smile in his eyes, and patted Xue Yuan's head lightly, with a little approval: "Yes, if there is really anything, even if Dingyuan City is the center, there are very likely to be some clues in the surrounding places." Instead of staying in the city, under the nose of the Feng family, it is better to leave here first and make some roundabout plans. "Although it is very likely that the harvest will not be more than in this Dingyuan City, it is always a safer choice.
Xue Yun also smiled: "And the Feng family who passed us by and went out of the city today." Either go back to deliver the news, or you need to go out of the city after receiving a mission. If this is the case, that is, somewhere outside Dingyuan City, they also have plans to make arrangements. ”
Xiao Luo nodded: "It's just that you need to board for two days before leaving." ”
Since he came to Dingyuan City to "trim and rest", he had to do this "trimming and resting" more carefully.
......
So, in the past two days of settling in Dingyuan City, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun spent most of their time in the courtyard with a simple formation and did not go out, except for occasionally walking around the street to buy some things, as if they didn't care about everything in the city.
But this did not prevent the two of them from having a shallow understanding of the Feng family.
The people in the city, respectfully calling those people "adults", and calling the prince in gorgeous clothes "young master" at the head, have never heard anyone bring a surname or first name, as if everyone in the city, whether it is an ordinary person or a low-level monk, knows the identity of these Rao's origins.
Most of the "adults" who followed the "young master" were silent and rarely walked around the city alone outside of following the "young master". But unlike these "adults", this "son" is extraordinarily flamboyant in the city, quite a bit of a gentleman, he can do whatever he wants, he wants what he wants, no one in the city dares to have any dissenting words, and those who follow him, the "adults" in the eyes of the people in the city never refute his request.
Even if it is robbing on the street and killing people in public.
In a desolate territory like Yuanzhou, Dingyuan City, which only has low-level scattered cultivation and ordinary Rao City, has no need to worry about reputation and consequences.
Although the "son" never did everything himself, except for occasional interest, and left everything to those "adults", the residents of the city were far more afraid of him than those "adults".
The "grown-ups" see them as ants, but the "sons" see them as playthings.
Although I have heard of it, in the past two days of pretending to be in Dingyuan City, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun have not seen the "son" doing evil on the street with their own eyes.
It is reported that a few days ago, this "son" found a new fun.
One third of the ordinary people in Dingyuan City were taken out of Dingyuan City one after another, and I don't know where they were sent, and they have not returned.
In the afternoon of this day, the day before Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan were scheduled to leave today, the "son" took a group of people, including the Jindan monk who had cultivated much more than the two of them, out of Dingyuan City.
In the rented hospital, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun both looked somewhat solemn.
"According to the approximate number of people in Dingyuan City today, one-third of the residents of Dingyuan City who were taken away before should have nearly a thousand. ”
"I'm scared. Xiao Luo sighed: "After those people were taken away, the brave people in the city didn't dare to come out and walk around, and the number of people we saw would only be less than the actual number, and this one-third estimate would only be more than a thousand." ”
Xue Yun clenched his fists: "I heard that Lord Win will collect some food in the city every few days, and I guess it may be given to the residents who were taken away." If so, these people ...... Should still be alive. But...... Feng family, what do you want to do?"
“...... It may not be the Feng family. Xiao Luo frowned: "I think that I am afraid that the idea of the 'son' has nothing to do with the purpose of the Feng family." ”
“...... What is the identity of that 'childe'? His cultivation realm is unstable, and he looks like a pile of nothing. Such a person, such a child of a family......"
Xue Yuan's question is the most critical point and the biggest problem.
Even if they are as powerful as the Feng family, they also value the cultivation of the children of the family. Or, the more the child of the family is valued by the family, the more the family cares about his practice. This kind of thing can't be completely absent from using elixirs and elixirs to force cultivation, but if the realm of mind can't keep up, the long-term vain cultivation is a matter of ruining the foundation, so the core disciples who are really concerned within the family are the most unlikely to be able to pile up vain cultivation in the case of unstable realm. As a last resort, if you pile up your cultivation, you will definitely stabilize the realm as soon as possible under the care of the family elders, how can it be possible to walk outside with vain cultivation?
This is a matter of breaking the foundation of that man, and there are very few such cases in the family, and some of them are outcasts.
But that "son" is very arbitrary and comfortable under heavy protection, and even if the monk under his command is the one who at least has the later cultivation of Jindan, he can be regarded as "obedient".
It's not like an outcast.
Xiao Luo didn't say anything about the contradictory situation that made Xue Yuan very entangled, and after being silent for a while, he sighed in a low voice: "Yuan'er, we haven't been out often in Dingyuan City for the past two days, and we haven't specifically inquired about the news. ”
Xue Yun was slightly stunned and looked up at Xiao Luo.
"You and I are Brother Jindan, and they attracted Feng Jiarao's attention on the day they entered the city, and they should have been very guarded. ”
Xue Yun was vague, followed Xiao Luo's words and felt something, frowned and muttered, "...... But we, these things...... Do we still know? This ......."
"It probably means that they don't care if we know it or not. ”
Xue Yuan's heart sank: "Xiao Luo......"
Xiao Luo smiled at Xue Yun soothingly, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of her hair very skillfully: "Let's go, don't wait any longer, we will also go out of the city today." ”
