Volume 3 The Eight Desolations Chapter 244: The City of Chaos (7)
There is a butcher shop in the northeast of Decheng, and the butcher shop in this chaotic city is not ordinary, in addition to the ordinary pig meat, there are some wild beasts that are rare in other cities, such as wild goats, wild deer, and even carnivorous beasts such as steppe wolves and green pythons.
The butcher chopped a piece of thigh meat of an unknown animal with a large and heavy kitchen knife, which was so hard that every time the kitchen knife fell and split on the bone, it would make a stiff sound, and when the kitchen knife fell on the cutting board, the whole room would shake with it.
But even so, the kitchen knife still fell very quickly, and every time it fell, the hard bone would be cut off, and in the blink of an eye, the nearly one-meter-long bone would be divided into several segments.
The butcher with a fierce face dragged the other leg bone with his hand, continued to cut it, and said, "The bones of this steppe wolf are very hard, and the flesh is also hard, and if you want to cook it, you have to cook it for three hours." And the taste of the meat is also very strange, there is a sour taste, but some people love to eat this thing, you say strange is not strange. ”
In this butcher's shop sat another young man, who was now washing his hands with a scoop of water, and although his hands looked to be cleaned, he still smelled bloody. He had a scoop of water, but instead of answering the butcher's question, he said, "Why do you want to kill the people of the New Yang Sect, the New Yang Sect has something to do with today's events?" Or is there something wrong with the identity of this woman? ”
The butcher's kitchen knife paused, and then said with a bit of hideousness: "Didn't I say it, this girl offended me, and took advantage of the chaos in the city today, so she secretly killed her." Besides, it's your hand again, you're a Skywalker, and the New Yang Sect won't be able to find me if it wants to check in the future. ”
The young man shook his head and said, "Can't you tell me the truth?" ”
"Why is it not honest? Besides, I'll tell you what you want to ask, and I'll give you this reward too, what's the matter? Is it too little? The butcher replied casually, then he turned his head to look at the young man, and said, "You use less water, I want to go a long way to fetch water." ”
The young man put down the water scoop, shook his head again, picked up a blue-green ancient jade from his arms, and said, "Just a lady who has turned to the upper realm, even if she is a member of the New Yang Sect, it is not worth this price." ”
"Yo, it's not too little, you're too much." The butcher snorted with a smile, put the broken bones on the cutting board into an iron basin, and then said: "You are a Skywalker, just leave, why do you care so much, you are not satisfied with killing someone and giving you a piece of jade?" I can tell you, this jade is of the highest quality, and it can be sold for a good price. ”
"Of course." The young man nodded, looked at the delicate luster, sleek and warm jade in his hand, and then said, "The jade jade that the Hengjin royal family is only qualified to wear will definitely be able to sell for a good price." ”
The butcher's face sank when he heard this, and he nailed the kitchen knife to the cutting board with a clatter, then he turned around, looked directly at the young man, and said, "Wang Yuanou, I thought you were a stuffy gourd with few words, why did you suddenly talk so much?" ”
Wang Yuanou stood up, his height was only about one meter six or five, and he looked very short compared to the powerful butcher, but in this short body, there was a palpitating aura, even if he stood in front of the butcher, no one would feel that his momentum was half a point weaker. He was also expressionless, and said indifferently: "I have no intention of snooping into your background and secrets, I just want to confirm your position in the future." For since I have come to you in obedience to Providence, you must be either my friend or my enemy. ”
The butcher stared at Wang Yuanou, and after a while, he said, "So what you want to ask is my purpose?" ”
"That's right." Wang Yuanou nodded and said: "At this time, several families are competing, and the Xinyang Sect obviously has no reason to end, and you are undoubtedly doing this to force the Xinyang Sect to come in." ”
"That's right, I just want the Xinyang Sect not to pretend to be deaf and dumb~" The butcher snorted coldly, turned around and grabbed the kitchen knife, took a piece of spine again, and said while cutting: "Lao Tzu was originally the third prince of Hengjin Kingdom, supported by more than a dozen ministers, and even the position of the prince can be competed for, and the most unfortunate is also a county king, but now?" Lao Tzu wants to sell pork here! It's all thanks to the Master! ”
Wang Yuanou frowned slightly, and said, "He has such great ability?" Or is the influence of Xinyangjiao so great in Hengjin? ”
"It's not by the power of the New Yang Sect. That old thing is not only a master in the lower realm of Xuanji, but also a conspirator with vicious means. The butcher chopped the wolf meat fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know if he has a few fake bodies that are difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, or if he can really be elusive." He is not only the new leader of the Xinyang Sect, but also the supervisor of the Hengjin Kingdom Royal Academy, and it is said that he is also the worship elder of a certain major sect in Yichuan, as for whether he has any other identity, I really don't know. When my father was going to confer on this old man who came out of nowhere as the superintendent of the Royal Academy, I objected to this, and then he held a grudge and colluded with my imperial brother, accused me of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and forced me to this place where no one is treated. ”
The butcher had a thick stubble on his face, but if he looked closely, he could still see that he must have had a handsome appearance back then. But as he was stripped of his status as a prince, he gradually became a butcher who sold pork in Decheng.
He said these words with a blank expression, but his eyes flashed with mad resentment.
Wang Yuanou felt a little palpitating when he heard this, he understood that the bishop of the Xinyang Sect was really a terrible figure.
As the leader of the Xinyang Sect, he let this religion blossom and bear fruit in this chaotic city, and even its influence penetrated into the surrounding cities, where it was worshiped and supported by nearly 10,000 followers. And as a royal eunuch, it is also unbelievable that he can pull down the prestige of the third prince.
Presumably, all this information was privately obtained by the butcher in the past few years, and most of the others would not have imagined that the mysterious Xinyang Sect Master had several other identities, and each of them was extraordinary.
Wang Yuanou frowned slightly, and said, "He is so powerful, and there are many people in the Xinyang Sect, how can you be able to defeat it alone?" ”
"If I have my own strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to take revenge in my lifetime. Fortunately, this old thing is greedy enough, and he is finally about to set himself on fire, and his New Yang Sect is coming to an end! The butcher snorted lightly, grabbed a piece of raw wolf meat and bit it hard, and as he chewed on his mouth full of blood, his eyes were a little crazy and resentful, and said; As long as they dare to go into this troubled water, someone will drag them into the bottomless abyss. ”
Wang Yuanou fell silent when he heard this, he thought in his heart, could it be that his mission this time had nothing to do with Xuan Jingtie, but to deal with the New Yang Sect?
And who is the power that can drag the New Yang Sect down the abyss?
......
Jiang Ling and Wei Ying returned to the room, and Wei Ying also gave Jiang Ling the full amount of the reward.
Jiang Ling put away the precious bottle of Snow Ginseng Qi Pill, he held Wei Ying's notes in his hand and flipped them casually.
Although the side quest has been completed, the main quest has not been issued for a long time.
This is a bit similar to the situation of the previous Moon Castle dungeon, the main quest of that dungeon has not been issued, but it has triggered a lot of side quests, and the content of the final main quest is actually determined by the side quest you complete, there are several different directions.
But the problem is that that dungeon is an individual battle, and everyone has their own tasks, so it's understandable, but it's a team game. The five members of their team must belong to the same faction and have an irresolvable conflict with the opposing player. What's the deal with each doing its own side quest now?
Or is it that he is in the wrong direction, and he shouldn't stay too much in Wei Ying, and he should go to meet his teammates as soon as possible?
No, Decheng is so big, the system doesn't give a hint about the location of his teammates, and there are no clues to tell him where to meet, and from his birth point, it is obvious that he wants to contact this Wei Ying.
Is it possible to decide the content of the final main quest based on the level of completion of the side quest by each member of the team? If that's the case, judging by experience, if someone in the team of five people doesn't complete the side quest, it will definitely increase the difficulty of the final main quest. But no matter which NPC releases it or what kind of side quest, the general direction is definitely the same, and it won't cause conflicts between players on the same team.
It's never been seen before. Jiang Ling was concentrating on two things, thinking about it while looking at his notes.
Wei Ying made another pot of tea and sat on the side with his eyes closed.
Jiang Ling saw the information about the Xinyang Sect recorded by Wei Ying at this time, this Xinyang Sect has only been established for more than 60 years, but you must know that Decheng is actually only more than 100 years old, so this Xinyang Sect is indeed the oldest local force in Decheng.
In the past 60 years, the first ten years of the Xinyang Religion were in a state of ups and downs, even precarious, and at that time the Xinyang Religion was called the Sun Religion.
The first sect leader was one of the first people to come to Decheng, who had been in the middle of the heavenly realm, but with his good wisdom and indisputable character, he gained a firm foothold in the chaotic place of Decheng, and after twelve years, he was successfully promoted to the Xuanji Lower Realm with his extraordinary talent and diligence. At that time, he already had a high reputation in the city, especially because he often took care of the common people who lived hard, so many people admired and appreciated him.
After a year of preparation, he established a religion with the strength of the Xuanji Lower Realm, and began to compile canons and recruit followers.
At that time, other forces naturally did not want to see another force rise, so the early days of the establishment of the sect were very difficult, and the Sun Sect was suppressed by all sides, and even the leader of the sect almost died on several occasions.
And this went on for ten years.
Ten years later, several powerful forces in Decheng were annexed or replaced, but the Sun Cult stood firm, and the other forces also found that the Sun Cult did not have too many conflicts of interest with them, so the Sun Sect gradually stabilized.
After another five years, the power of the Sun Sect was already able to win the throne in Decheng, but for some reason, there was a dispute with the then city lord's mansion, and the dispute eventually turned into a war.
The war between the two largest forces in Tokujo.
In those days, Decheng became very bloody, like a purgatory city, and nearly a hundred souls of the masters of the Heavenly Transformation Realm returned to the Western Heaven in just a few days, and the civilians were also killed and injured.
The First Master was mortally wounded in the battle and was appointed as the next Leader, the current Master.
This sect leader changed the Sun Sect to the New Yang Sect, and then talked to the City Lord's Mansion to calm down the war.
After that, he served as the head of the church for forty-five years, and he continues to this day. Although this sect leader has rarely appeared in the past ten years, he has already become a god in the hearts of ordinary people.
When Jiang Ling saw this, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
He muttered, "I always feel that the death of the old sect leader has something to do with this great god." ”
