Chapter 4: Strange Things in the City
There is still a month before Tianzong opens the mountain to accept apprentices, Yan Feng used the money in the ring given by the middle-aged man before to book a month's housing in this inn, settle the sleeping baby girl, and take advantage of the meal time to ask the shopkeeper to help buy a few sets of new clothes, but think about it, forget it, go by yourself, and familiarize yourself with the environment by the way.
It rained last night, and she was filthy when she was cultivating before, and now her whole body is slimy, so she has to be cleaned, and the baby has to give her a hot bath.
"I have to buy a few ordinary clothes to wear, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble when I wear such brocade clothes."
Soon Yan Feng found a clothing store nearby, chose a black and white dress, tried it on just the right fit, and then ordered a few sets of the same style, and by the way, picked out a few clothes for babies in the baby area.
"You're going to pick out the baby's clothes, too," a hoarse voice came from his side.
Yan Feng turned his head to look, it was a strange old man with a flower hat on his head. He looked at Yan Feng with a smile, there were not a few good teeth left in his mouth.
"En" Yan Feng replied lightly, took a few clothes, turned around and came to the front desk to check out and leave.
Strange old man, Yan Feng noticed a disgusting aura that permeated the old man's body, and paid a little attention to him in his heart.
"Hehe" The old man behind him looked at the departing Yan Feng with a smile, and then continued to walk around the baby area.
Yan Feng returned to the inn, as soon as he entered the inn, Yan Feng heard the baby's cry, walked to his room, opened the door and entered, then closed the door, came to the bed, looked at the baby on the bed, Yan Feng reached out to check the baby, and then let go of his hand.
It turned out that I was hungry, and indeed it was, and I hadn't eaten since the morning.
"Prepare some baby food for me immediately, this is for you" called the shopkeeper, Yan Feng took out a gold leaf and handed it to him.
"Master, wait a minute, the little one is going to prepare" The shopkeeper saw the gold leaf, immediately nodded his head, and flattered himself, according to the conversion rate of this world, one hundred copper coins are a silver coin, one hundred silver coins are a gold, and a gold coin is equivalent to ten thousand copper coins, I am afraid that this shopkeeper will have to work for decades to earn a gold coin, and this gold leaf is even more special, and it is rare to see.
"Wait, get some hot water ready for the bath."
"Okay, I'll get you ready to go."
Soon the hot water was ready, and it was fast to do things if you had money, Yan Feng finished cleaning and changed into the clothes he had just bought, and then by the way, he also washed the baby who was crying endlessly, and put on a new set of clothes, at this time, the shopkeeper also came back, with a porcelain like a wine jug in his hand.
"This is just produced animal milk, and it is the best one on the market at present," the shopkeeper saw Yan Feng and immediately explained what was in his hand.
"This kind of animal milk is only available to children of large families, and it is very precious."
"Well, can you use it directly?" Yan Feng didn't care if these were expensive or not, as long as he could feed the baby.
"Yes, it's just delivered, it's still hot."
"Give it to me" Yan Feng took the animal milk and was about to close the door, when the shopkeeper seemed to think of something and stopped Yan Feng again.
"This young master, there have been several strange incidents of missing babies in the city recently, please be especially careful" The shopkeeper walked into Yan Feng and said cautiously in his ear.
"What's going on" Yan Feng was stunned and looked at him.
"I don't know, there has been an incident in this matter, I heard that similar incidents have happened in other places nearby, but during this time, it has also begun to appear in the city, the most recent one happened two days ago" The shopkeeper thought about it and replied.
"I know" Yan Feng nodded to indicate that he knew, then closed the door and entered the house, Yan Feng in the house thought about what Xiao Er had just said, and thought of a figure in his heart for no reason, shook his head, came to the bedside, looked at the baby who was still crying, Yan Feng handed over the beast milk.
After feeding the baby, seeing that the baby fell asleep after a while, Yan Feng got up and walked to the window, looking at the night sky that was already dark, and thinking about it.
It was already dark, and the nightlife of the people in the city had begun, and there were many people on the road, Yan Feng glanced at the baby, jumped out of the window, and walked out of a secluded dark place in a few steps, and merged into the crowd in a few steps.
Wanhualou, the famous flower building in Huaicheng, there are pairs in and out of the door, there are also many beautiful women who scratch their heads and pose at the door, and when they see the men passing by the door, they will go over to chat and pull, and then those men walk into the Wanhualou together in the middle of the half-push.
"Master, let's have some fun, there's an Oiran show tonight."
"Come on, come on"
"I'm going to make you out of bed at night."
"You're so annoying."
"Hahaha"
The sound of laughter and teasing comes from time to time, and it makes people think about it, it is really a paradise on earth, but it is also a place where everyone has a mixture of fish and dragons.
Yan Feng passed by here, looked at it and left, the land of fireworks, the place where people relax and relax, and the place where people sink.
Finally, he saw a bookstore-like store in a secluded place.
Yu Shuzhai is the name of this store, Yan Feng glanced at it and walked into the bookstore, his eyes swept casually, and found that at this time, in addition to the boss, there were only three people here, two men and one woman, two young people, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in white, Yan Feng glanced at it and went straight to a bookshelf, stretched out his hand to pick up a book at random and flipped through it.
There are biographies of celebrities, books about plants and trees, and books about the love between men and women, don't ask why Yan Feng understands words, just like you lose your memory but you can still read and understand the words, probably the memory of the body itself. Yan Feng read it quickly, one after another, but he didn't see what he wanted.
"Are you looking for a book?"
At this time, a soft voice sounded beside him, Yan Feng turned his head to look, it turned out to be the girl in white, and when he looked closer, he saw that the girl had a beautiful face, no powder, and a pair of eyes that looked like she was smiling at her.
"I see that you have been flipping through the books, and you haven't looked carefully, so guess what kind of book you are looking for" Seeing that Yan Feng didn't speak, the girl explained again.
"A book that records some of the world's supernatural places," Yan Feng said after thinking about it.
"Oh, that's it," the girl looked into deep thought, as if searching her mind for any trace of such a book.
"Over there, you have to go over there, there seem to be some books you want" After a while, the girl found the location of the books, and pointed to a place in front of her.
"En" Yan Feng looked at the direction the girl was pointing, turned around and nodded to the girl, thanked her, and walked to the place where the girl was pointing.
Watching Yan Feng leave, this young man with beautiful eyebrows gave her a wonderful feeling, and without thinking too much, the girl shook her head and went back to read her book, and saw that the content was actually a book about the tragic love story of young boys and girls.
Soon, Yan Feng found a book called Heaven and Earth Strange Stories in the place where the girl said, flipped through a few pages to make sure that the content in it was exactly what he needed, and walked to the front desk to check out and leave.
And the girl found Yan Feng leaving, looked up, and looked down again to seriously look at the book in her hand.
Walking out of the bookstore, Yan Feng found that there were not many pedestrians on the road, so he identified the direction and walked away quickly with the books in his arms.
I went back to my room, came to the bedside to check the baby's condition, and found that I was still sleeping, so I closed the bed curtains, lit a candle on the table not far away, and took out the books I had just bought and looked through them.
After reading page by page, after reading for more than an hour, Yan Feng put down the book in his hand, got up and came to the window.
The main reason why he went to look for this kind of book was that his memory was a little vague, and he couldn't remember these things very clearly, so he went to look for this kind of book again.
It can be seen from the content of the Persona of Heaven and Earth that there are cultivators who can fly to the sky and escape in this world, known as spirit refiners, and the legend is that there are fairies, and this Persona of Heaven and Earth records all kinds of strange things for two thousand years, including the introduction of terrifying monsters, the introduction of holy lands and forbidden places, although it is not complete, but it is probably a microcosm of this world.
Thinking of this, Yan Feng turned around and came to the bedside, sat on the ground, and after a while, there was a trace of aura gathered around his body.
Now this world is afraid of danger, he must improve himself as soon as possible, although there is a sword imprint of the previous life in his mind, but if this body can't keep up with the improvement of the realm, it's like you know how to kill, but you can't kill people because the sword is too blunt, it can also be said that "the eye is high and the master is low", although the realm is high, but it does not have the strength to match the realm, which is very embarrassing.
So now you have to cultivate, make your sword sharper, and the aura around you enters Yan Feng's body in a specific route, merging into Yan Feng's dantian, and a certain meridian on her body is also slowly expanding.
There was more and more light around his body, like a small light, and the aura continued to flow into Yan Feng's body, and occasionally a trace flowed into the bed curtain.
Vague, I don't know how long it took, Yan Feng seemed to come to the previous dream again, the white earth, empty, and impermanent.
For the second time he came in, Yan Feng didn't show the same shock as the first time, because he knew that it was probably a memory left by that sword path imprint.
Yan Feng looked up at the sky, a white-clothed swordsman appeared in the air, he turned his back to Yan Feng, Yan Feng looked at the white-clothed swordsman, looked at his back, and looked at the hand holding the sword, the cold pale hand, the cold pale sword.
The second time I saw it, it gave Yan Feng a different feeling, a familiar feeling flowed into Yan Feng's soul, Yan Feng looked at it as if he was frozen, motionless,
"Moan"
At this moment, the white-clothed swordsman raised his hand, and the sword in his hand slowly stabbed out, silently, simple, but Yan Feng only felt that the vision in front of him suddenly changed, and he suddenly saw the darkness that he fell into.
Before he could react, with a "hum", Yan Feng's heart was shocked, and a sword groan resounded in Yan Feng's mind, Yan Feng's intuition buzzed in his brain, and he suddenly felt like the sky was spinning.
"The swordsman, only fast, respectful, ideal"
Yan Feng vaguely heard these words, knocking on Yan Feng's heart like the sound of the Great Dao, and then suddenly his eyes suddenly darkened, and he couldn't feel anything.
Yan Feng, who closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes became inexplicably hollow, and an indescribable aura formed from Yan Feng's body, Yan Feng made a move, a sword weapon had been taken by Yan Feng in his hand, and a trajectory appeared in his mind, Yan Feng slashed forward with his sword, silently, no sword qi vertically and horizontally, no light overflowing, only listening to the sound of "click", the table in front of him was disconnected from the middle, clean and neat.
The empty eyes, calm and waveless, he looked down at the sword weapon in his hand, his lips moved slightly
"Is this the way of the sword?"
Yan Feng raised his head, and it was already dawn.
