Chapter 68: Into the City
After Chen Changsheng left here, he continued to travel south, and he couldn't figure out where he was now. And fundamentally, there is no specific place for the so-called all the way to the south.
The ancient city of Yin and Sha is barely in the general direction.
"You need to find a place and ask and find out what the situation is."
Chen Changsheng secretly thought in his heart, as long as he went to a place with a lot of people, everything would be easy to do. Moreover, he also had a faint feeling that if he could enter the Yin Shah Ancient City, then the Qingshan Sect's power would definitely not be able to extend there.
In front of you is a field of crops, and you can see that there are villages nearby. Chen Changsheng walked all the way, and felt the situation around him, he didn't find anything wrong here, that is to say, if this place is haunted, it is actually because of the situation on the other side of the Pingyu River.
The earth is big, and there are ghosts and ghosts in many dark places, and demons are born. Especially in some mountain villages, such as the city, there will be very few such things, firstly, because there are many people and yang qi, and secondly, because cultivators will also pass in the city, so even if there is, it will be discovered quickly.
Therefore, relatively speaking, people will yearn to live in the city. The city itself represents a certain importance, and the places where it is built are not built at random, and every place is a traffic fortress.
Therefore, the people in the city are only taking a part. There are the most small villages like this, and because of this, they will encounter all kinds of troubles, such as mountain bandits, rogue bandits, evil things, and so on.
Chen Changsheng walked straight along the road, he also had his own thoughts in his heart, and the dry food had been prepared. I just hope to find a city, at least I need to get a peachwood sword or something, and I can get a few clean clothes.
He is not as poor as before now, after all, he got a lot of silver money from Elder Wu of the Qingshan Sect, although he left some to Zhou Xuan, but after all, there is still a lot of surplus on his body.
He can't buy good things, but there is no problem at all. The road ahead is flat, and the distance between the villages is very long, almost ten miles or so.
Chen Changsheng eats and sleeps in the open, and rarely goes into the village, unless it is necessary to go to buy some dry food. In this way, four or five days passed before I knew it.
I don't know if he was too lucky, or if he was in the right place. On the tenth day, he actually saw a city tower from afar, majestic and atmospheric, and suddenly he was in a good mood, and hurriedly quickened his pace, and unconsciously walked on another day, and the whole person's image was very unbearable, and he was about to become a beggar.
Chen Changsheng didn't care, as long as he could find a place, it would be good. This city is called 'Fengyun City', and Chen Changsheng wants to laugh when he sees it, is this a description of women?
"Stinky beggar, three copper plates into the city."
A guard reprimanded impatiently, there are many such things, and it is common to encounter such guards, which is the most annoying, and can almost be said to be a bandit who guards the door.
Under normal circumstances, they don't ask for too much, so most of them put up with it. Besides, since they dare to ask for it, it is also instructed by someone, otherwise once the matter is poked out, they will not be able to eat and walk around.
Chen Changsheng didn't care about him, he just wanted to enter the city quickly, take a hot shower, and change into clean clothes, which is the right thing. He felt like he was about to stink now.
gave the money, and naturally no one cared about him.
Chen Changsheng looked around and found a tailor shop, where clothes were usually sold. However, his image is unbearable now, and others naturally look down on him.
Chen Changsheng smiled good-naturedly and said: "You don't have to look down on me, I'm here to buy clothes, and you are the shopkeeper who sells things." If we don't have conflict, why should we underestimate me? ”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, who frowned when she heard this, and said impatiently, "What do you want?" ”
"Three sets of kaftans ......"
Chen Changsheng said what he needed, inside and out, and at the same time simply measured the size.
The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Changsheng more, and said, "Young man, don't blame me for underestimating you, I don't have any bargains here." What you said will cost me at least five taels of silver. ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "You just have to take it, I won't lose your money." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Changsheng suspiciously, and then asked people to prepare, and it didn't take long to prepare, "Do you want to take a look?" After speaking, he looked at Chen Changsheng with a little disgust. It's really that Chen Changsheng's image has been unsightly in recent days, and their clothes here are all new, so they don't want Chen Changsheng to touch them, but after all, they are businessmen, so naturally they can't say much.
Chen Changsheng glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't look at it, you guys didn't open a store for business on the first day, so be it." ”
After speaking, he took out a tael of gold and handed it to the other party.
The shopkeeper was quite surprised, and couldn't help but look at Chen Changsheng again, with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go find you money right away." ”
Chen Changsheng nodded, he had seen a lot of people like this over the years, so he didn't feel anything else. If you have money, you are the master, if you don't have money, you are a grandson, or the kind who wants to chop up and feed the dogs, although you have never provoked them at all.
"Guest, your money." The shopkeeper hurriedly gave the rest of the money to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng stretched out his hand to take it, stuffed it directly into the package, picked up the clothes that had been wrapped, turned around and left.
"Guest, welcome to come back next time." The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted, but unfortunately Chen Changsheng no longer looked at her, and had already disappeared into the flow of people.
The city is bustling and easy to find anywhere.
Chen Changsheng asked for an upper room, this time he learned to be obedient, and directly took the money first, and suddenly he didn't encounter the kind of treatment before. It was even more hot water, and all kinds of things didn't need Chen Changsheng to say a word at all.
After finishing grooming, Chen Changsheng almost didn't know himself.
Although his appearance is not very handsome, he is not vulgar, and his complexion is ruddy, the heavenly court is full, and he is a good person.
"How many days have I not seen myself like this? It doesn't feel good. ”
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, he was tired all day, where are you in the mood to pay attention to this?
Chen Changsheng casually sorted out his previous clothes, and then called Xiao Er to clean everything up. Now that he looks like this, I'm afraid that Zhao Sanxian is here, and it will take a little effort to recognize him.
The shopkeeper muttered in his heart, it is really a person who wants clothes, and a Buddha wants a gold costume, which is almost unrecognizable.
"You'll come back later, and I'll ask you about something." Chen Changsheng admonished again, and stuffed a small piece of broken silver into his hand.
Money is easy to do, the law that will never change.
The shopkeeper's expression was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, wait, guest officer, I'll come over soon." ”
After that, he had already packed up the pile of old clothes he didn't want and went out.
Chen Changsheng stood in front of the window, watching the flow of people below. This is the south, and it is very likely that he has now entered the sphere of influence of the Qingshan faction or the Qingcheng faction.
Even at this time, he could see some cultivators passing by. Although there are very few, they are more than what Chen Changsheng has seen before, which further confirms this fact.
These people in the big faction are easy to recognize, because they will make a mark on their clothing, cuffs, collar, chest, etc., will have their own unique mark, which is also to allow people who meet them in the future to sell a few faces.
Pan Yulong also said this before, in fact, this is what it means. When he exterminates ghosts, he will wear a robe belonging to the Xuanwu faction, just so that people can give them some face for the Xuanwu faction and try to avoid contradictions between each other.
"There are many Qingcheng factions, and there are many fewer Qingshan factions."
Chen Changsheng took a closer look, he was almost five or six, but only one of them was from the Qingshan faction, that is to say, he might now enter the Qingcheng faction's sphere of influence.
These big factions, within their scope, people from other sects generally have to act according to their rules, and they will give them some face. Especially for a big faction like the Qingcheng faction, if it is said that the disciples of the sect have a conflict with you, even if they don't complain about you, you had better endure it, otherwise, it will be a difficult problem whether you can leave here.
Chen Changsheng naturally understands these truths in his heart, Qingyunzi said that going north is bad luck, so if he goes against the grain, then he will naturally not go bad luck. Just as Chen Changsheng was thinking about these things, the shopkeeper had already rushed back.
"Guest officer, if you have any questions, just ask, I will definitely guarantee that you will know everything and say everything." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, with the money in hand, he is naturally willing to talk about these things, and if he says it well, maybe there will be a reward?
Chen Changsheng didn't sell it, and said directly: "Is this the closest to the Qingcheng faction or the Qingshan faction?" ”
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "If you go back to the guest officer, of course it is the Qingshan faction." ”
"Oh?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned, this was different from what he thought before, and he thought it was close to the Qingcheng faction, so he asked more.
Xiao Er said with a smile: "The Qingcheng faction is forty miles away from the west side of our Fengyun City, in fact, you can also see it now, it is Qingcheng Mountain." However, the Qingshan faction is thirty miles away on the south side, but it is just a small mountain, and there is no way to compare it with Qingcheng Mountain. ”
Chen Changsheng realized this, and then he was puzzled: "I see that there are many cultivators on this street, but most of them are from the Qingcheng faction, right?" So what is the reason for this? ”
