Chapter 9 The Law of Survival
After the Flower Thief incident, they stayed at the Fuxi Inn for two more days. They had a fairly comfortable life for the past two days, and nothing happened to frame them. And the store doesn't seem to be interested in them.
But Yueli is quite interested in the woman, and she likes to say a few words to the woman when she has time these days. And this back and forth, I also heard some news.
The woman's name was Shangguan Fuxi, and she used to be a young lady from a big family. It's a pity that the family has changed greatly, and the Shangguan family has declined overnight. So, at a young age, she had to fend for herself.
But what can a little girl do in this place?
She wandered for a month, eventually fainted on the road and was rescued. I thought it was a good intention, but the man just saw that she looked good, and wanted to sell her to Wanhualou for some wine money.
Then, she was sold to Wanhualou.
At the time, she was only twelve years old.
At the age of eighteen, after experiencing some education in Wanhualou, she was pushed to the front of the stage.
can only be said to be worthy of being a beauty embryo, and by this year, she is already a big beauty. So, in just one month, she has become a signboard of Wanhualou from a newcomer.
After that, Shangguan Fuxi stayed in Wanhualou for another three years. And it's only been three years, and the top cards there have been changed and changed, and she has only been on fire for three months.
However, in the past three years, the old bustard of Wanhualou has not treated her badly, and the salary that should be given is still given, and she has earned a lot.
But in a place like Wanhualou, if it is not popular, it means that you can only sit and eat empty.
So, after redeeming herself, she left Wanhualou and opened such a small inn here.
Maybe it's because there's no one behind them, and their store is really not very dark, but it's just that they don't really do anything to kill someone who is stupid and blackmails some money.
According to the investigation, the people who died in this store without exception were all mentioned by Shangguan Fuxi in Wanhualou, and this was limited to the kind that was publicly mentioned in the store.
Regarding the matter in Wanhualou, Yueli seems to be like a sister to her these days, but as long as she mentions it, she will be unhappy, and she will warn Yueli not to ask. It can be seen that she herself is still very resistant to Wanhualou in those three years.
By the way, although she is called the proprietress of the proprietor, she is only twenty-four years old and is not married. She should actually be called the owner of the Fuxi Inn, but everyone is used to calling the female boss "boss lady".
Everyone stayed here for a total of three days, and these three days can be said to have completely changed everyone's opinion of the Chaos Lord.
In the past three days, the place where they live really can't see much chaos and only dare, at least on the surface. There are often quarrels on the streets, but they are also quarrels about transactions, and there are always quarrels on the streets.
As for the more serious burning, looting, or something, I haven't seen it in the past three days, and there is not even any news of anything like that.
However, speaking of news, there was a piece of news that spread more violently, but it made them speechless. That's "The flower thief picks the flowers but is picked by the flowers",As for the protagonist,It's the person who was called the style of the Chinese son before.。
As for the heroine who picked him, the news didn't make it clear. So, some people guessed that it was a female peer, some people guessed that it was a rotten peach blossom, and some even guessed that it was a man, but the lady with the highest voice was the proprietress of Fuxi Inn.
The proprietress did not react to this news, nor did she admit or refute it.
In short, in the past three days, except for this incident, which can be regarded as a turmoil, it can be described as calm here, and there is no sense of chaos on the surface.
The only thing that can fill in the confusion is probably the number of pickpockets on the street.
Ten days after leaving the Fuxi Inn, they came to a city called Shining Star City. In this city, there is a branch of the Wasteland.
Walking all the way, asking all the way, they finally came to the front of the Desert Alliance branch.
The sight before them was speechless.
As many people know, the Wasteland Alliance is a very big force. Needless to say, there must be a headquarters or something. And even if it is a branch, it is basically an important local trading place, and the decoration or something, not to mention the noble atmosphere and grade, at least it will not be bad.
But the one in front of me is too simple, so simple that there is only a small house, two windows and a door that has fallen into disrepair. The items in the store were not very rich, and there were only some ordinary low-grade pills, and there was no such thing as a trading center seen elsewhere.
There was only one old man on duty in the store. To be more precise, there was only one old man in the store, and this old man was still asleep on a chair on the side, and he didn't even notice that they had come in.
"This place is really a desolate alliance, why is it so miserable?"
Yueli said this, and the old man suddenly woke up.
"What do you mean by being miserable? Old man, I think this place is pretty good, and I don't have to worry about those troubles. Looking at a few of these cultivators, it shouldn't be a place to buy medicine when they come to the shop, right? The things here don't have much effect on a few of them. ”
The old man's words were still very sincere.
But these words surprised the seven people, and they could see their cultivation, proving that this was also a monk, and they felt that this was a mortal. This kind of feeling can only be felt when the other party is a god realm cultivator.
It is really hard to imagine that a Divine Realm cultivator has managed the Wasteland Alliance like this.
"Uh...... Actually, we wanted to stay overnight. ”
"You're sick in the head, aren't you? I'm here to buy something, not an inn. Stay and go that way, and it's an inn for a quarter of an hour. ”
After the old man finished speaking, the seven of them were a little aggrieved. Well, it does seem like a bit of a problem to stay at a place where you can buy something.
Then, Feng Yan was ready to take out the Dao Dao Peak token to explain their identities, and explain what they meant by the way. But suddenly something occurred to him.
"Boss, do you know what the forces behind the Wasteland are?"
After Feng Yan asked, the old man suddenly looked at him.
"Oh, you know?"
"Of course. ”
"Then tell me about it. ”
"Oriental ......"
After Feng Yan said these two words, the door closed with a "pop", and a spiritual shield came out and surrounded the old man and the seven people.
"Tell me, what are you guys? ”
Seeing this reaction, Feng Yan was relieved. To have this reaction at least means that these are the people of the three sects.
"Do you know this thing?"
Feng Yan showed up the Ask Peak token.
"Damn, why is this thing? Take it back, take it back, I don't want to see this thing, I think of something uncomfortable when I see it. ”
At this moment, Feng Yan is really relieved. Those who can have this reaction are at least those who know about Dao Dao Peak, and they have even cultivated in Dao Dao Peak.
"You're asking Daofeng? What are you doing here? Didn't you say that you wouldn't care about me when I got here? Wait, you don't know?"
As the old man spoke, he saw Feng Yan and the others with puzzled faces.
"Uh...... We really don't know, and we're here to hang out for fear of getting into trouble at other inns......"
"That's right...... I'll just say, ask Daofeng not to talk nonsense. By the way, which sect are you from?"
"A few of us are from the Dao Sect, this one is from the Dan Sect, and this one is from the Qi Sect. ”
"I am also from the Instrument Sect, who is your master, little girl, tell me, maybe I still know you." ”
"The family teacher is a real person. "Worry-free
"Tianyan?!"
Hearing this name, the old man looked very surprised.
Then he kept looking around the moon, and he was still muttering something.
"I don't see any difference...... Are you really Tianyan's apprentice of the turtle grandson? When I left, didn't he say that he wouldn't accept apprentices? ”
"Do you know a tutor?"
When Yueli heard the word "turtle grandson", she understood that the old man should have a relationship with his own master, and it was not shallow.
"How can I not know each other, even if I don't want to admit it, but that turtle grandson is my senior brother. You have to call me Uncle by seniority. ”
"Wait, Uncle Shi...... Uncle bastard?"
"Damn, who are you scolding?"
The old man was obviously very sensitive to this title.
"Uh...... That's what the old man said, not me. ”
"I'm obviously calling the king not to wait, this old turtle grandson...... Forget it, how many years have it been...... You're here to stay, aren't you? I'll be blunt, there are rooms here, but there's nothing but rooms.
And that room was originally used as a storeroom, but there was only that one. If you don't recommend it, just make a bunk and squeeze it. ”
"That's fine. ”
Then the king did not wait to bring them over. After a brief tidying up, everyone took out the furniture from the two houses and arranged the rooms a little. There are four beds in the room, and everyone can be squeezed together.
Once you've found a place to live, the next step is to wander around, or to see the folk customs here.
It doesn't matter if they don't look at it, as soon as they look at the wind and their good impression of the Chaos Lord, they suddenly disappear.
While on the street, they saw some stalls. In addition to the general stalls, they also saw some special stalls - slave stalls.
There, there were several people dressed in coarse cloth and with chains on their hands and feet sitting on their knees or against the wall. They were men and women, young and young, all blinded.
Some people were pointing and touching every now and then, then nodding or shaking their heads. The stall owner has always been smiling and always responding to his customers.
The slaves did not react to what was happening in front of them, as if they had nothing to do with them.
"No, can this kind of business be done here?"
"Why not? There are no other rules in this place, this kind of thing is normal for them. And, there are dirtier deals than that. ”
"Dirtier ...... Is there such a thing as selling corpses...... Or are they sold separately?"
"Well, but how do you know?"
"Hey, I've only seen that kind of story in our side before, but I didn't expect it here...... Again, life is more dramatic than drama. ”
"Eh, you're still unreasonable, I still want to be so bad after hitting the old man?"
Suddenly, they were attracted by such a voice. Then they saw an old man lying on the ground, and a young man standing next to him.
"Uh...... Does anyone touch porcelain in this place?"
Well, it's really porcelain, but the style of painting and the development of the plot are beyond Yueli's expectations.
"Old man, master, I don't have time to play with you now, if you want to get acquainted, get out of me now, otherwise I won't be soft-footed. ”
In the face of this, the old man was not afraid at all.
"You knocked my old man so much that he couldn't move, are you still reasonable? Come and see, this person ......."
But the onlookers were just watching and doing nothing. Moreover, before the old man finished speaking, everyone understood what the man meant by "not having soft feet".
"Ahh
The man kicked the old man in the stomach, causing the old man to scream in pain.
"If I don't do it, you really won't listen, will you? Didn't you say I hit you? Okay, I'll hit you well. ”
As he spoke, the man kicked the old man in the stomach three more times.
"What's the matter, old man, why don't you say it? Master, I've been holding my breath for the past few days, and you old immortal really dare to send it to the door." ”
As he spoke, the man kicked the old man in the head three more times.
Then, the old man fainted, and there seemed to be some blood at the corner of his mouth. And in this case, the people around him didn't react, and the man didn't care, just took a handkerchief and wiped his shoes, then threw the handkerchief away and left.
"Second sister, aren't we going to take a look?"
"Look at what you see, you ask for yourself, this is retribution. ”
Then, they also left this side. After walking a short time, a little girl in ragged clothes came over with a broken bowl.
"Brother and sister, have mercy on us, we haven't eaten for days......"
The little girl behaved pitifully, but everyone but Lunaris was indifferent.
They have all studied medicine, and if they really haven't eaten for a few days or haven't eaten properly, it is absolutely impossible for their faces to look so energetic.
And although this girl didn't act very energetic, it was obviously that she hadn't slept for a few days, not a few days without eating, and even her ragged clothes were pretended.
The clothes did look very shabby, but it was just the illusion caused by the dirty things on it and the many tattered places, and there was no sign of aging on the clothes.
In addition, the dirty things on her body, except for mud, are mud, or the kind of mud that has no debris, and at a glance you can know that it is a temporary paste, and it is not caused by sleeping in the open at all.
At this time, Feng Yan and Yueli glanced at each other, nodded, and gave the little girl a tael of silver. Then the little girl thanked her and left.
After that, they began to follow the little girl. Because they realized a problem, because of their physique, Moon Shadow still thinks that there are no bad people in this world.
If something happens in this place, that's a big problem. So, they're going to make the Moon Shadow change.
Then they saw the girl walk into a small house that was not very good, but it also sheltered from the wind and rain. After a while, she came out wearing a dress that looked of better quality, and she didn't feel down at all.
This caused a big shock to the Moonshadow.
"I suddenly felt ...... I don't seem to want revenge. ”
Yemo suddenly said this.
"Huh, what's going on with you?"
"Hey, I didn't understand it when I was young, but now I realize that they just follow the rules of survival here.
The Realm of Chaos, that's what a hell of a place. ”
