Chapter 104, see Brother Han again
At this time, Mo Feiming himself didn't notice that his whole body had been dyed with ink, his clothes were already as black as ink, and even his face was gradually covered a lot.
The city painted in ink, the gate painted in ink, and even the grass sticking out of the cracks in the city wall that he inadvertently noticed were also painted in ink, but they were extremely real, swaying slightly with the wind, like reeds on a windy day.
Mo Feiming walked in on the ink-paved road, and the two soldiers guarding the gate were suddenly gone, and Mo Feiming could see that there was another person behind him who was also about to enter the city, this person was painted in ink, and it was an old man.
But when the old man walked to the city gate, he was stopped by two soldiers, and then the two soldiers checked it very carefully, and then let him enter the city.
The old man's pace was very slow, and he staggered past Mo Feiming, who could clearly see his face, the wrinkles on his face, and his somewhat melancholy demeanor, which was simply too real, so that Mo Feiming had a feeling that maybe this person and this world were real, and he could only see everything in this world, but he could not make any changes to this world.
If so, Mo Feiming is an "outsider" in this world, and he is looking at the world as a "spectator".
Mo Feiming touched the old man with his hand, and it was the same as what he had seen before, still the old man was splashed like ink, and then a gathering recovered in the distance, as if unconsciously, he continued to walk forward.
Mo Feiming shook his head and followed him into the city.
The city was very old, and the people were not dressed as well as they are now, and he could tell from the way they were dressed that they were worn by people many years ago, or even several dynasties ago, or perhaps even longer.
Mo Feiming looked at the people in the city, they were all busy with their heads down, and they could hardly see the real expression on their faces, they treated people with such a smile, but their faces were gloomy in a place where no one could see.
The houses on both sides are also very simple, unlike the buildings of recent years, the appearance is beautiful and very solid, Rao is so, in such a city that makes Mo Feiming feel very backward, but the people of ink painting live with relish.
As he walked, he found a group of people around the corner where people did not often pay attention, and Mo Fei thought there was a conflict, so he walked over to take a look, but what he saw was not what he thought, and the group of people was not to the point of saber rattling, but someone was selling.
Mo Feiming took a closer look, the person who was selling was actually a person, and it was a woman who was treated as a commodity by them, her hands and feet were tied, her clothes were very exposed, her face was covered with dust, she could barely see her true face, and her body was covered with bloody wounds.
And at this moment, a man with a whip in his hand, still whipping her, and her cry of pain spread throughout the alley, and many people turned their heads to look this way, and when they saw such a scene, they seemed to walk away, as if it should have been.
After a while, the man stopped the whip in his hand and began to talk to another person, Mo Feiming heard what they said, the syllables were very strange, he couldn't understand them all, he only understood a rough idea, he should have started to bargain, these two people talked, completely regarded the woman as a commodity.
Looking at the woman again, her face was already expressionless, and her eyes were full of numbness, as if she had been killed for a long time as a cold corpse.
The two men seemed to talk, and then untied the rope from the pole behind him, and handed it to the man who bought it, and the other side of the rope was tied around the woman's neck.
A man took the rope and paid for something, Mo Feiming could see that it was not what they now called money, but objects, he was stunned, could it be that this world of ink painting is still in the stage of barter? After that, the man led the woman away, as if he were holding a pet, without any discomfort, and did not tear off the label of "commodity" because she was a human being, and treated her even a little as a human being.
Mo Feiming really couldn't look at it, he ran forward in three or two steps, reached out and grabbed the man's arm, and wanted to grab him and question him well, this is a living person, how can he be treated like this?
But when Mo Feiming's hand just touched the man, the man's arm suddenly became a splash of ink everywhere, dripping all over the ground, and even Mo Feiming's body was all over his body.
Then the man's arm flew back from the ink as before, and converged into the original arm, and he continued to lead the woman in one direction without the slightest hindrance.
Mo Feiming looked down at his hand, now it was stained with a little ink, and even the palm prints on his palm were difficult to see, yes, Mo Feiming thought, he couldn't touch that woman, not only this woman, but anyone in this world, he probably couldn't touch it.
Mo Feiming watched the man holding the rope and seemed to take the woman away, Mo Feiming didn't follow, he knew that it was meaningless to keep up, he couldn't make any impact at all, he could only watch silently, mourning the sorrow of others like a hypocrite.
This woman should probably be a slave, perhaps in this era, the life of a slave is no different from that of livestock, and even their master can hold up a butcher's knife and cut it down like an animal to be slaughtered, and these slaves will probably not resist much.
Mo Feiming turned around and walked out of the alley, he closed his eyes hard, and shook his head fiercely, trying to get rid of the gloomy things he had seen before, but the more he thought about it, the clearer the picture became.
He quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the depths of the city.
He walked on, and in front of Murphyming's eyes appeared a palace, which looked much more ornate than the other houses in the city, and although it could not be compared with the current imperial city, it was a large mansion in this seemingly backward city.
Mo Fei knew that this was probably the place where the princes and generals lived.
He thought that this should be the center of the city, and perhaps there was a way to get out of it, so he strode in.
……
【Gangneung Castle・Fulai Inn】
Next.
When Chu Haoge woke up, the sky was just bright, and a faint light came in from the window, hitting Chu Haoge's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
looked out the window and said, "It's not early." With that, he cleaned up and prepared to go outside to practice swordsmanship for a while, and when everyone got up, they went to see if Mo Feiming had woken up.
Recently, Chu Haoge has been sleeping less and less, and he usually meditates until late at night, and then falls asleep, not because of how mysterious this concentration is, but because he feels that it will be more comfortable to cultivate this concentration decision, and his mind can also be rested, so in fact, there is not much difference from sleeping.
Chu Haoge quickly carried the Starlight Sword and the sword lent to him by Mo Feiming out of the room, probably too early, this inn was very quiet, and even in this corridor, you could hear the birdsong outside the house, and the sound of the wind.
When he passed by the door of the houses of several Qingyun disciples, Chu Haoge couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt in his heart, and said in his heart, Could it be difficult for this Qingyun disciple to lie in bed? They all got up, and there was no movement in their house.
He went downstairs and prepared to go to the backyard of the inn, but the closer he got to the backyard, the stronger the wind grew, and he muttered, "Why did the wind start so early?" ”
But when Chu Haoge just went out, he knew that it was not the sound of the wind at all, but the sound of breaking the wind, Chu Haoge looked at the side of the courtyard, Murong Xiaoyan danced the whip in his hand, flying up and down, and the sound of breaking the air came from here.
"Murong, you got up so early." He looked at Murong Xiaoyan, Murong Ke was really much earlier than him, and he had already practiced here.
Murong Xiao's whip did not stop, and his figure did not stop, and said: "Of course, the efforts of the past few days have not been in vain, and this whip is finally easy." She said, glanced at Chu Haoge and said, It's you, why did you get up so early.
Chu Haoge patted the Xingmang Sword behind him and said, "I've been in Qingyun Sect for so long, and the Xingmang Sword hasn't been touched for a long time, and it's about to rust if it goes on like this, so I'm ready to practice." As he spoke, Chu Haoge pulled out the Starlight Sword with a "sigh".
As soon as he pulled out the Starlight Sword, Murong Xiaoyan's figure actually stopped, and the whip knife in his hand was also retracted, and he said to Chu Haoge: "Okay, take it." ”
Chu Haoge had already pulled out the Starlight Sword, and he didn't understand what was going on, he looked at Murong Xiaoyan stupidly and asked, "Why?" ”
"......" Murong Xiaoyan glanced at him and said, "Tan Qianqi and they have been here before, let me tell you that they have gone to investigate the disappearance of the woman before, if you wake up, let us go to the Wang family's blacksmith shop first to see Mo Feiming's situation." ”
"Huh?" Chu Haoge was stunned when he heard this, he only felt that his face was a little hot, before Chu Haoge secretly despised others in his heart, saying that people were lying in bed and getting up late, but in this way, among the five people who stayed in the inn before, he was afraid that he was the latest.
"What do you think?" Murong Xiaoyan walked to Chu Haoge's side, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "So obsessed?" ”
"Huh? Oh. Only then did Chu Haoge come back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, he put the Starlight Sword that had just been pulled out of the sword box into the sword box again, and said, "It's okay to go and see Brother Mo, I don't know if Brother Mo is awake." ”
So they went west of the city.
【Gangneung Seongseo・Wang's Blacksmith Shop】
When Chu Haoge and Murong Xiaoyan arrived here, the courtyard gate of the Wang family was open, but there were many guards guarding the door.
Chu Haoge was right, because this was the scene of the woman's disappearance, and Mo Feiming was cultivating here, so it was listed as a key protection area by the government.
But for the convenience of the immortal master's investigation, the courtyard gate of the Wang family will basically not be closed, but even so, this security problem is much better than the previous closed courtyard door, and countless officials and guards almost surrounded the entire courtyard, not to mention people, if you want to mix in, even a fly will not work.
Those guards were guarding here in shifts day and night, and because of the previous lesson, most of them would not stop anyone wearing the costumes of the Qingyun Immortal Sect, and they would all let them go.
But Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge were very upset, the two of them really didn't wear the Taoist robes of Qingyun disciples, so they were stopped by the guards, and the guard guarding the door clenched the waist knife in his hand and said: "Who are you, go quickly, this place has been blocked by the government, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”
"Miscellaneous people, etc.?" Chu Haoge and Murong Xiaoyan were depressed when they heard this word, they came all the way from Qingyun Sect to Jiangling City, although the road was a sword flight, it didn't take much twists and turns, but they couldn't be called 'idle people waiting'.
But soon, Chu Haoge's face became a little ugly, and he ...... Now Tan Qianqi and the three of them are going to investigate the disappearance of the woman, that female disciple Lu Qiuqing is protecting Mo Feiming's safety, as for Jiuli Qianyao, she is good at magic and medical skills, and she is observing Mo Feiming and trying to find a way to crack the illusion in him......
In this way, the two of them are really idle people waiting, at least they really don't know what they should do now, and the two of them can't let Tan Qianqi and them take them to investigate the trick case in vain.
The two glanced at each other, and Murong Xiaoyan said, "Who is the idle person?" Murong Xiaoyan said, and was about to break inside, "We are here to visit Mo Feiming." ”
Chu Haoge in the back hurriedly grabbed her arm and stopped her, they came to see Mo Feiming, and they didn't want to smash the field, besides, this is someone else's home, so it's better to be a little more restrained.
At this moment, a person came out of it, dressed in official uniform, and stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Haoge and the two looked at this person for a long time, and couldn't help but be stunned, this person who came was not someone else, it was Brother Han who he was thinking about visiting when he had time yesterday.
"Brother Han?" Chu Haoge exclaimed in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
"Brother Han." Murong Xiaoyan was also stunned, this world is too small, I didn't expect to meet Brother Han here, she had a good fight with others before, and almost hurt others, but then the misunderstanding was solved, and this is not an acquaintance.
Brother Han was also overjoyed when he saw the two, and said, "Yo, Little Brother Chu, Miss Murong, why are you guys, when did you come back, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Chu Haoge smiled and said, "I only came back last night." With that, Chu Haoge looked inside and said, "I'm here to visit a friend." Naturally, he said Murphy.
Chu Haoge looked at Brother Han. He couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he remembered it clearly, it was that Lu Qiuqing who came in all the way yesterday, why didn't he see Brother Han before?
