Chapter 208: In Xia Jiangchen?
"Pay five hundred taels of silver to enter."
The guards in iron armor at the door, holding spears in their hands, stared coldly at the warriors who came in one by one.
"Five hundred taels? Isn't it usually only ten taels? Why did it suddenly rise so many times? ”
Some people exclaimed, they couldn't believe that they would ask for five hundred taels of silver to enter a city, but the guards guarding the city looked at each other coldly and said, "What is the purpose of your coming to the Red King City, do you think we don't know?" As long as you have a little thing in the dry tomb, it is a thousand gold, and five hundred taels is not too little, if you don't want to, get out. ”
The other party has no good temper and is very arrogant, but it is true, most of the people who come to the Red King City now are not just for the treasure of the Dry Xuan Tomb?
Once you get it, it's worth a thousand gold, who doesn't blush? However, the Red King is indeed smart, and the price has increased the entrance fee to the city, which comes and goes, and tens of thousands of people want it every day, right? This ability to accumulate wealth is simply not to be underestimated.
Jiang Chen lined up at the back, waiting for a group of people in front.
And at this moment suddenly a group of ascetics came, and they walked towards the city without looking at them, and the guards at the gate did not show respect, but they did not drive them away, but only let them into the city.
"How can this be, why can they enter the city without spending a penny."
Some people were not convinced, so they said angrily, five hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount of money, naturally some people are not convinced.
"Shut up, Lord Scarlet has always respected monks, this is the rule of Red King City, if you don't accept it, you can also be shaved to be a monk." The guard roared, as if he was not afraid of these warriors at all.
Many warriors dare not speak out, but the other party is also smart. I know that ordinary big people don't care about the five hundred taels of silver, and they care about ordinary martial artists. In addition, they were also ordered to do things, and something happened. The Red King will naturally make a move.
No one dared to speak, until it was Jiang Chen's turn, he handed over five hundred taels of silver, and walked in so smoothly.
The Red King City is full of flowers, after all, there is a strong man suppressed here, the Red King is not an ordinary person, although it is more expensive to enter the city, but I have to say that there are guards everywhere. Guarding the surroundings rigorously gives people a sense of security.
Merchants trade here, and there are some Hu merchants, the sound of selling fluctuates with each other, there is a feeling of red dust rolling, not as good as Fengyue City and Fengling City, here everywhere seems to be very calm, here seems to be lively, full of people's smell. And there was no quarrel or violence.
It is very peaceful, which makes Jiang Chen feel like a pure land.
But thinking about it, there has to be some reflection, and living and working in peace and contentment is normal in itself. But here I can feel the Pure Land, which is ridiculous, ordinary things. In the Western Desert, it is particularly cherished.
Of course, because of this, the reputation of the Red King City is three hundred and thirty-three mountains.
All the way forward. Jiang Chen casually came to a restaurant and walked into the door. But there was no Xiao Er coming, the restaurant was too hot, full of people, full of people, eating and drinking, the sound was louder than the other, and it seemed a little messy.
When he came to the front, Jiang Chen took out a silver ticket and put it on the table and said, "Prepare an upper room for me, plus some wine." ”
This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and anywhere, this one hundred taels can even cover this restaurant.
But the other party glanced at Jiang Chen and said: "There is no upper room, only an ordinary room, and there is no wine and food." ”
After hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be stunned, but soon he understood that the money he gave was less, and the Kuxuan Tomb had driven the economy of the entire Red King City, not only the collection of five hundred and twenty people outside the door, but even the restaurants and meals inside had increased a lot.
Jiang Chen took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and put it on the table, all of which were taken from the Fengling Ancestor, and he was not distressed.
"Please be seated." As soon as he saw Jiang Chen take out five hundred taels of silver tickets, the shopkeeper's face changed instantly, and with a smile, he looked at Jiang Chen flatteringly.
Jiang Chen didn't care about the other party's emotions, but sat in one place with Xiao Er, quietly waiting for the wine and food to come up.
After a while, Jiang Chen heard some drunk where is the big mouth and said.
"This Dry Xuan Tomb, I heard that it is completely different from the Dry Xuan Tomb in the Central Plains, it is very weird."
An old man with a rosacea nose, so he made a false way, and immediately attracted the attention of many people, most of them did not come here to go to the dry tomb for a trip, who didn't want to catch a little treasure, and now when he said this, everyone was interested.
What do you mean by that? Hurry up and talk about it, don't hide it, what are you doing mysteriously? ”
"That's it, I said old man, don't you deliberately talk nonsense in order to deliberately cheat on drinking."
"You're going to drink, I've got it here, but you can't lie to anyone."
Many people knew him, and when they spoke, they were also full of interest and curiosity about the dry tomb.
"I'm not deceiving people, although my old man is a drunkard, it is impossible to deceive people with this kind of thing." As soon as he heard others say that he was lying, the old man immediately became unconvinced and muttered loudly, while staring at the other party with a pot of wine.
"Come on, come on, even if you lie to me, I'm willing, give you this wine."
"When you drink wine, you have to say it quickly, don't whet people's appetites."
Many people coaxed, hoping to hear some different news, the old man smiled and took the pot of wine, and then drank it in a big gulp, after drinking three or four sips, the old man burped, and then lowered his voice and said slowly: "I tell you, this dry tomb is very evil, some time ago I went out hunting at night, and happened to pass by the dry tomb, but when I was down the mountain, I saw a group of Yin soldiers patrolling the surroundings neatly, and after a full stick of incense, I slowly returned to the dry tomb." ”
He spoke very carefully, with a sense of the earth, and his description was eloquent, and many people listened with solemn expressions.
I was drawn to the heart.
"Yin soldier aisle." Someone spoke, looking a little panicked, the power of ghosts and gods is something that the warrior is ashamed of, and he thinks that everything is fake, but he asks himself, in fact, many people still believe in ghosts and gods. After all, there are many things that even science can't explain, let alone this group of ancients.
They believe more in ghosts and gods.
"There is a Yin soldier aisle in the Dry Xuan Tomb? According to legend, Yin soldiers were powerful warrior soldiers in ancient times. After their deaths, they developed an extremely strong resentment, and eventually became Yin soldiers. Guarding a certain person or a certain treasure. ”
Someone opened his mouth and whispered, which made people curious and full of excitement.
Treasure? They only have the word treasure in their hearts.
"I said old man, is what you said true? Still in the aisle? Did you drink too much wine that day and get dazzled? Someone teased.
"Go, go, what is my old man lying to you, I can't afford to give you some wine on credit, and I won't deceive you, what I said is true. It's true, there is indeed a Yin soldier aisle, and I also caught a cold after I went home, and this dry tomb is very evil. ”
Speaking of the back, he had to shake his head and say in a firm tone.
As soon as he said this, many people felt a little empty in their hearts, and this ghost and god thing appeared, which made people feel a little uneasy.
"Alright. Well, don't listen to his nonsense, drink, drink. ”
"That's it. Don't listen to him. ”
When everyone said this, the old man suddenly became angry, and immediately stretched out his hand to take out something. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you love it, believe it or not." With that, he turned around and left. There was some anger in the look.
And Jiang Chen keenly saw the old man's actions, and the rest of the people ignored the old man. Soon everyone calmed down and continued to drink and eat, laughing loudly.
Jiang Chen got up, he felt that this old man was a little strange, but he was afraid that there was something else he hadn't said.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let Xiao Er take a bottle of the most expensive bamboo leaf green here, and then got up to leave.
He followed the old man all the way, and the old man bought a little venison, carried a grass carp and returned home happily.
The old man's home seemed ordinary, a very simple place, and as soon as he walked in, he began to start the pot, boiling fish and stir-frying meat, intending to treat himself or something.
Jiang Chen slowly walked into his house, and the old man quickly noticed it, and after discovering Jiang Chen, his expression was a little panicked, but he quickly forcibly calmed down, looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Who are you?" What are you doing at my house? ”
"Heh, don't be nervous, you came in with a smell, this is a high-grade bamboo leaf green, how about I use my wine in exchange for a meal?"
Jiang Chen put Zhu Yeqing on the table, took away the stopper, and suddenly the rich intoxicating fragrance permeated out, the old man was really addicted to alcohol, as soon as he heard this, he didn't dislike Jiang Chen at the moment, but came over to bring a table to Jiang Chen, and at the same time stared at this bottle of Zhu Yeqing and muttered to himself: "This Zhu Yeqing usually costs more than two hundred taels, but now it is four hundred taels a bottle, that bitch is a profiteer, but the wine is really good." ”
After he muttered to himself, he thought that Jiang Chen was still here, and said with a smile: "The person who comes is a guest, Mr. Xiao is seated, and my food will be ready immediately." ”
After saying this, I went over to stir-fry.
Jiang Chen sat here quietly, without saying anything else, very silent and calm, and after a while, a few more people came to the small room.
Two men and two women, the male is handsome and handsome, and the female is delicate and refined, dignified and beautiful, both very young, eighteen or nineteen years old, they obviously didn't expect Jiang Chen to be here, one step ahead of them, but they didn't say anything, and each brought a bottle of good wine.
The old man who was stir-frying thought it was Jiang Chen's friend, and he felt a little uneasy, but he smelled the strong aroma of wine, and he was still stir-frying honestly.
"I've seen Your Excellency."
After the people who came saw Jiang Chen, they bowed their hands very politely, looking extremely elegant.
"Yes." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the two of them had no grievances or hatred, and Jiang Chen did not shake his face, but replied very calmly.
Just this attitude makes these people a little unhappy.
"Hmph, the young man now, he really has no one in his eyes, and he likes to pretend to be deep when he has a little strength, Brother Jiang Chen, right?"
Brother Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen couldn't help but be curious, he didn't expect to meet someone with the same name and surname today, it was really strange.
"Sister Chen'er, don't talk nonsense, Your Excellency has offended a lot, in Xia Jiangchen, a disciple of the Wudang faction."
This eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy bowed to Jiang Chen very politely and apologized to Jiang Chen, showing that he did have the feeling of a big disciple.
Just ....... Wudang faction? Jiang Chen?
Jiang Chen couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, there are still people who will pretend to be themselves these days?
"Are you Jiang Chen of the Wudang Sect?" Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.
"That's right, this is the famous Jiang Chen, the sword maniac who caused a sensation in Huashan, personally entered the Kuxuan Tomb and defeated Jiang Chen, who was Zhanyu of the Kongtong faction."
Before the other party could admit it, the other teenager answered first, with an indescribable pride and pride.
"Your Excellency, I think you should have also come here to inquire about the old man's dry tomb, right? I advise you to stay away for the time being, there are some things that young people like you can't participate in. ”
The other girl opened her mouth like this, looked at Jiang Chen and said softly.
"Alright, don't talk too much." At this time, this person who pretended to be Jiang Chen spoke, and after reprimanding them for a few words, he turned to look at Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, a few junior brothers and sisters are not sensible, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"They are also disciples of the Wudang Sect?" Jiang Chen's eyes showed a look of doubt, and he asked so curiously.
"No, this is a disciple of the Zhang family in the Western Desert, these two are disciples of the Hero League Law Enforcement Hall and the Pill Medicine Hall, they are Yichen and Yuebai." Fake Jiang Chen opened his mouth and explained to Jiang Chen.
Zhang Jiajiangchen didn't know much about the Western Desert, so the Hero League had to understand that it was one of the strongest forces in the Western Desert.
It's just that Jiang Chen is very curious, why did the other party pretend to be himself?
"Okay, Brother Jiang Chen, let's not talk to him more, it's important to get down to business."
The woman named Yichen spoke, she looked down on Jiang Chen, and she seemed to be targeted!
This made Jiang Chen speechless. (To be continued.) )
