Chapter 17: Linyue City
When Lin Jingyun talked about their Lin family, his expression instantly became unnatural, and he didn't explain much in one sentence.
When talking about their Lin family and Du family, their expressions were uncertain, and they turned their heads and walked to the side of the black flag on the side of the boat, lonely and helpless, as if they were worried, and as if they were troubled, they were sad.
Qing Ling'er didn't understand what the relationship between the Lin Du family was at the moment, but looking at Lin Jingyun's expression, it should be almost the critical moment of a showdown.
Qing Ling'er diverted the topic and continued to ask Lin Jingyun.
"Isn't there anything else besides these forces?" Qing Ling'er didn't believe it very much.
Of course, these forces are not the only ones in Linyue City, there are famous alchemy and refining alliances on the mainland, and these big forces such as Fu Seal and Formation Trade Union also exist, but these big forces have their own principles, they only do business, and they don't ask anything else.
Therefore, the competition in the city has nothing to do with them, so Lin Jingyun did not mention it specifically.
But in the end, when Lin Jingyun mentioned the Supreme Auction House, he was full of praise, and even said that it was the most powerful of all the forces.
This made Qing Ling'er puzzled, how could an auction house be the most powerful, it was just a trading house that auctioned things, it should not be as strong as the big forces such as alchemy, refining alliance, etc.! There should be other deals!
Lin Jingyun continued to talk about the Supreme Auction House, with a look of envy and adoration. He said that the reason why he worships so much is because in the Supreme Auction House, there is only something you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.
All kinds of treasures, dazzling, if you want weapons, you have weapons, if you want pills, you have pills, you have what you want, and even the artifact Emperor Pill can be found for you, as long as you have enough money.
Qing Ling'er was extremely shocked when she heard this, such bold words, no wonder she dared to say that she was the strongest, there was a force in this world that dared to say such a big thing, and it was not destroyed, it can be seen that what she said is also seven or eight points true!
Thinking of this, Qing Ling'er's heart jumped suddenly, and her face was full of surprise! She took a deep breath, thinking that she shouldn't be able to find any treasure!
She doesn't want her treasure to be exposed by the Supreme Auction House, and it seems that she will have to be especially careful with this auction house in the future.
Listening to Lin Jingyun's narration, such a small city, with intricate forces, is really not simple!
However, she also discovered one point, that is, Lin Jingyun did not mention soul cultivation from the beginning to the end, and it can be determined that Lin Jingyun mentioned all martial arts cultivation.
At this time, she played the role of an ordinary person who had no cultivation, so she was embarrassed to ask clearly. It seems that I can only get to know it slowly after entering the city.
Qing Ling'er's heart was unusually active, and from Lin Jingyun's rough description, she could tell that the real power was probably not the City Lord's Mansion, but the major forces behind.
It seems that he not only has to pay attention to the Supreme Auction House, but also several other major forces, otherwise if he loses his life because of his carelessness one day, there is really no place to cry.
While talking, the old man next to Lin Jingyun came over with a plate of tea, there were four cups of tea on the plate, the plate was round, and the cups were not very big, but they were all purple, which looked particularly noble, and a faint fragrance of tea mixed with the moisture in the air drifted in the wind, so pleasant.
After about another cup of tea, I saw a city in the distance, protected by a high wall, the city wall is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance, the navy blue city wall is full of mystery, awe and respect, awe is sacrosanct; respect is that this wall does not know how many times to block the attack of soul beasts, saving countless people.
Then look carefully at the city gate, the top is engraved with three big characters of Linyue City, solemn and free. The two big red iron doors were open, and people were coming in and out from time to time, so it was not lively.
On each side of the gate stood four mighty soldiers, dressed in silver-white armor and armed with a spear.
Three meters away from the city gate, there is a tea shed, the shed is about three meters high, three meters wide, three meters long, square, in the center of the shed is placed a wooden square table and a long bench made of unknown materials, polished black and dirty, I don't know how many such days have been carried, the years have made it lose its original appearance.
On such a bench sat two soldiers, drooping their heads, and without looking at them, they directly reprimanded those who entered the shed.
Look at these two soldiers, arrogant, high-flying, and point-in-cheek, one moment they stand up and rummage through this pocket, one moment crawl on the table and write something, and the next moment they begin to curse and swear, as if they are really seriously checking the passers-by.
Lin Jingyun parked the Void Boat at the gate of the city, and after everyone got off the ship one after another, Lin Jingyun collected the Void Boat in the same way as before, shook off the clothes on his body, and led everyone towards the city.
"Slow, don't be in a hurry to go! I thought it was who, it turned out to be Lin Xiaogongzi!"
One of the soldiers in the shed immediately found Lin Jingyun who didn't take them seriously, and looked at Lin Jingyun ignoring them and preparing to enter the city directly, laughing at Lin Jingyun with sharp eyes, and at the same time looking at the three of Qing Ling'er with unkind eyes.
"What, do we have to register with you when we enter the city?"
Lin Jingyun looked at the ruffian soldiers impatiently, and his teeth itched with anger, if it weren't for his father's repeated instructions not to offend the City Lord's Mansion, he would have beaten up this group of nasty ruffian soldiers a long time ago.
"Of course Lin Xiaogongzi doesn't need to, but these three beauties are about to be inspected, you said that if they are bad people, and then they carry dangerous goods that endanger the city, then none of us can afford it, do you say!"
The soldier pretended to be embarrassed, didn't take Lin Jingyun and the others in his eyes, and walked over with a sigh, saying things that even he didn't believe.
"Hehe, a dog thing that doesn't have long eyes! See clearly, these girls are cultivators, and they are all better than me, you are used to being powerful, but don't make trouble for the City Lord's Mansion!"
Lin Jingyun was too lazy to take care of it, and said what he thought was a lie, flickering the soldiers who came over, this kind of little ghost is the most difficult.
This soldier is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, and he can't fool such a person casually.
However, when it comes to cultivators, he doesn't dare to make excessive demands, if he really provokes a character that even the City Lord's Mansion doesn't dare to provoke, he will become a victim, and he can't do it.
As soon as the soldier heard the cultivator, he was quiet, he stopped talking, and secretly continued to look at the three of Qing Ling'er, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see the reason, so he heard the shouting:
"Let's go! Let's go! Don't get in the way anymore, for the sake of Lin Xiaogongzi's face, I won't check it, and if you enter the city rules, don't make trouble! Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
In the end, he didn't forget to threaten when he was finished, showing his existence and his importance.
Lin Jingyun's whole body was chilled, and he turned his head to see that Qing Ling'er and the three of them did not move, staring at the soldier with fierce eyes, the cold air was bubbling out from his body, Lin Jingyun shivered, and said in a low voice:
"Let's go to the city first, this kind of villain, sooner or later, it will be cleaned up!"
Lin Jingyun didn't want to make trouble at the city gate, not to mention that it didn't fit his identity, if his father knew about it, he would have to be beaten.
Moreover, Qing Ling'er and the three of them did not cultivate at all, if such an expression angered this soldier and was found to be not a cultivator, at that time, he really didn't know how to let Qing Ling'er and the three of them enter the city.
Lin Jingyun took the lead in the front, and entered the city in a mighty way, first of all, a straight, blue brick paved road appeared in front of him, about four or five meters wide, just looking at this road felt incredible, this kind of place also has such a huge project.
On both sides of the blue brick road, there are all kinds of shops, pedestrians coming and going, endlessly, walking and stopping, in and out, it is not spectacular.
"This is Qinglong Street, and there are four such streets in Linyue City, namely Suzaku Street, Xuanwu Street, Baihu Street, and this Qinglong Street. Isn't it spectacular!"
When Lin Jingyun saw Qing Ling'er's stagnant expression, he knew that another person who was conquered by this green brick road proudly introduced, as if these roads were paved by him.
"Shocked! Our family is on Baihu Street, why don't you go to my house! I'll introduce you to my sister, you two know each other! You can definitely become good friends, she is very hospitable!"
Lin Jingyun invited, but in the end Qing Ling'er didn't go, saying that she would have the opportunity to visit in the future, and now she wanted to go to the shop selling herbs.
Lin Jingyun was a little disappointed at first, but finally agreed, anyway, as long as he was in Linyue City, he could take his sister to find them.
