Chapter 16: The Little Beggar
Chapter 16: The Little Beggar
Thousand Dreams City, a large city in the Apocalypse Empire, was named after an immortal who passed by here - Thousand Dreams.
However, it has been a long time and cannot be verified, and it is deeply loved by loose cultivators because of its proximity to the dangerous place of Demon Ridge.
Demon Ridge is a burial ground, but the area is extremely vast, almost one-twentieth of the area of the Qishi Continent, and it is also the largest burial ground.
Compared to other burial grounds, it is as dangerous as it is, but it has many more tempting treasures.
The terrain of the Demon Ridge is unique, and it is located in the center of the Qishi Continent where the spiritual energy is the strongest, rich in spiritual materials! How many genius earth treasures that cannot be found in the outside world can only be regarded as weeds when they arrive at the Demon Ridge.
What's more, there are many inheritances in Demon Ridge, just like the mysterious land of the dead, the Yuntian Mountain Range. The battle of the ancient demons left behind countless strong martial arts, spiritual enlightenment weapons, and even inheritance.
The commander of the Demon Tiger Army of the current dynasty of the Qishi Empire was because he received the inheritance of the ancient powerhouse from the Yuntian Mountain Range.
Only then did he rise from humility and rise to prominence, until he reached the level of the commander of the Imperial Legion, which became a good story.
It's just that although the Demon Ridge has countless genius treasures, the danger is even more amazing, and the reason why the Demon Ridge is called the Demon Ridge is because it has two different races, demons and demons, of course, it was a long time ago.
In ancient times, the demons of Demon Ridge were forcibly killed by the ancestors of the human race because of their collusion with the extraterritorial heavenly demons. As for the demon beasts, due to their strong reproductive ability, they have become more and more ferocious and violent over the years.
Demon beasts are all over the Apocalypse Continent, and they are still based on the land. And from time to time, unimaginable beast tides will erupt, bringing great trouble to the people of the Apocalypse Empire.
But even so, the Apocalypse Empire has not wiped them out for thousands of years.
It is said that it is to cultivate the martial arts of the Kaishi Empire and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Another theory is that there are still several terrifying demon immortals among the demon beasts, and these demon immortals have made an agreement with the immortals of the human race......
The demon beasts of the Demon Ridge never break out of the beast tide, although these demon beasts are brutal by nature, they have never broken out of the boundary of the Demon Ridge, even if they are chased out of the Demon Ridge by other demon beasts, they will try their best to go back.
This is also the reason why Thousand Dreams City is safe and sound.
For thousands of years, Thousand Dreams City has regarded itself as the "frontier of Demon Ridge", and it is true that Thousand Dreams City has too many advantages. The most important thing is that the route to enter the Demon Ridge in Thousand Dreams City is recognized as the safest route in the whole continent.
This path magically avoids all the dangerous centers, and there are the fewest monsters along the way.
Compared to other roads with a survival rate of less than 1 in 10, the number of survivors in Thousand Dreams City is more than half.
This also directly led to the prosperity of Thousand Dreams City, where people came and went, traffic was busy, and all kinds of resources were traded here, becoming a paradise for merchants.
The intersection leading to Demon Ridge was a big gate, but at this time, there was a commotion, "What? The price has risen again, didn't you say okay, one person and one tael of gold?"
"Go, go, don't come if you don't have the money to pay! Get out!" The city guards guarding here were very impatient, and waved their hands to push away the scattered cultivators who rushed up excitedly.
The loose cultivator who was pushed away clenched his fists, and the feeling of being humiliated made him angry, but unfortunately in the end, he still had no choice but to pay the money, reality!
This little thing didn't affect the number of people who wanted to pass by, it was a regular occurrence, especially when this Thousand Dreams City Lord was in office.
The queue at the gate was almost from the gate to the gate, and the number of people here was terrifying, and even the probability of death did not change their ambitions in the slightest.
Some of them are already veterans, and the road ahead has been explored, as long as they don't rush around, they are generally fine.
An ordinary team was very helpless to line last, and the leader was a young master with a rich face, although he was handsome, but he was covered in pearlescent light. At first glance, it is not a child of a family who goes out to practice.
Behind him is a group of burly middle-aged men, carrying a giant sword! Obviously, it is the bodyguard given by the family, and the amazing thing is that there is an old woman inside, although she is old, but the momentum of her whole body tells others that she is not easy to mess with!
This group of people is Zhong Litian and his party who arrived in the Thundercloud Bird, although the time is urgent, but the Zhong Li family still gave them a disguise that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The Great Elder, Second Elder and the others have all become middle-aged men, but Zhongli Lingye doesn't need to change her appearance, she hasn't been out for two hundred years, and the last time she appeared was a girl, who knows her now?
The Thundercloud Bird of the Zhongli family was extremely fast, and they arrived at Thousand Dreams City, which was three thousand miles away from Tianlei Mountain, within one day, and they now wanted to rely on the road of Thousand Dreams City to enter the Demon Ridge, but they didn't dare to be too high-profile, who knew if there were any spies from the Chu family here.
"Young Master, it's not in the Zhongli family now, don't mess around!" Bai Yu, who was closest to Zhonglitian, reminded in a low voice, Bai Yu's face was now pockmarked, and he was not afraid of being recognized.
"White Hall Master, I know. This is my soul secret method, what I want to say, just tell you directly!" Zhong Litian's voice sounded in everyone's minds, almost startling everyone.
"Soul transmission, exclusive to the heroes of the Quartet, I can't imagine that the Supreme Dan Master even has such a secret method!" Everyone was surprised, but they all attributed these to Zhong Litian's mysterious master.
Waiting for the gate to open and close was an unbearable process, and Zhong Litian and the others were very anxious. The long queue has already begun to complain, and according to the rules, it will take at least another hour.
At this time, the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves approached quickly, "You untouchables, don't get out of the way for Ben Shao, good dogs won't get in the way!"
A young master with a bloated body was dressed in the clothes of the City Lord's Mansion, very arrogant, driving a carriage, looking down at the scattered cultivators below, his face was full of unhappiness, this group of bitter haha will only get in the way of the place.
The loose cultivators scolded and scolded, but they still automatically made way for the arrogant young master, and the guards who followed the carriage chased after them.
surrounded the carriage, and made room for the young master.
The long line was cut off like this, and the scattered cultivators dared not speak out.
This young master is the eldest son of the city lord's mansion, and he is also the only seedling of the city lord, although he is flying and domineering, the city lord has always been used to him.
Zhong Litian and the others also got out of the way, they really didn't want to cause trouble now, after all, the mission this time was to save the old man.
It's just that there are still people on the street who can't hide, it's a beggar, thin body, fluffy messy hair, dirty ragged clothes, dirty face can't see clearly, but I don't think it's too old.
At this time, it seems that he is frightened, and he doesn't dare to move if he stays there!
It's just that no one noticed that Zhong Litian's eyes lit up in the crowd, as if he had found something extraordinary.
Where would the eldest prince of the City Lord's Mansion care about this little thing, the beggar is a beggar, just trample to death, instead of turning, he sped up and ran towards the little beggar.
Some of the people around have already gone to the face, although they are all casual cultivators who eat and eat on the tip of the knife, and they are used to seeing life and death, but they still can't bear to see this scene.
The eldest prince is already looking forward to it, he likes to see the blood splashing the way it looks, when was the last time he ran someone to death, it may have been a year ago, although he was confined for a month, but after that, he completely fell in love with this feeling of being a superior, and he was already looking forward to the next picture.
Seeing that the carriage was about to run over, the wheels had already pressed over the body of the little beggar, alas, it was another human life, and the people who saw these sighed in their hearts, quite a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
This time it's someone else, what about next time? The city lord of Thousand Dreams City is his father, where are they going?
It's just that the picture of flesh and blood that everyone expected did not appear, and the carriage ran over it, but what about people?
Even if it becomes meat residue, there will be traces, Su Dagongzi was disappointed for a while, stopped the carriage and horses, and looked behind him, it shouldn't be.
"Who did it? Who did it? Stand up for this son!" Su Dagongzi was a little annoyed, and a good scene was gone.
No matter how much he yelled, no one answered, which made him a little annoyed, and he looked around, but there was no one! not even a beggar figure.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't say yes, you casual cultivators, don't you say yes? Tell my father, there are thieves in the casual cultivators who want to sneak up on me, and the thieves are in this group of loose cultivators, so no one wants to leave!"
Young Master Su sneered, originally he just wanted to go shopping, but this group of untouchables had already provoked him, and there were people who disobeyed what he wanted to do.
"Why, we didn't do it, we still have to hurry?" Some of the cultivators were already upset, and hid in the crowd.
"Why? Just because my father is the lord of the city! You untouchables be honest with me. Young Master Su glanced at the group of people below and shook his lips in disdain.
The guards next to him had sharp ears, and with one whip, they whipped in the direction in which the sound was made, and with one whip, they knocked over several people.
There was another commotion in the crowd of loose cultivators, and being humiliated and whipped was secondary, and it was good if they found it, but if they couldn't find it, they couldn't afford to wait.
"Young Master Su, I just saved one person here, so I don't need to make so much effort to trap everyone, right?" A handsome young man with a treasure full of treasure walked out, it was Zhong Litian. The little beggar followed him, and he didn't have stage fright at all!
Bai Yu's heart almost reached his throat, my little ancestor, did you say don't make trouble if you don't get along?
"Little baby, what do you want to do?" Zhongli Lingye's voice sounded in Zhong Litian's head, if such a small character was usual, it would be enough to shoot to death. But now they have to save the old man, and they can't make any trouble.
Zhong Litian smiled slightly, he knew what he was doing, and responded: "Seniors, if you can trust me, just listen to me, this little beggar's origin is not simple!"
After speaking, he gave Bai Yu and the others a reassuring expression.
The young master Su over there showed a smile at this time, a pariah is a pariah, if he doesn't give him a little power, he won't be obedient: "It's just that you did the right thing, right? That's good, this young master is not difficult for you, since you saved him, kill him again, I will bear it if something happens." ”
Young Master Su originally wanted to kill this person directly, but after thinking about it, he came up with this vicious plan, don't you want to save people, now if you want to live, then go and kill people.
Young Master Su felt very much looking forward to it when he thought about it, and he really wanted to see the expression of this person after killing the little beggar.
The people around him were silent, most of them were lamenting, they were scattered and humble, and the gap in status was irreparable, who called his father a hundred refining people in the Xuanguang realm?
Zhong Litian's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Su said that he laughed, how dare he kill people in the future, this is a little bit of his heart, and I hope that Senior Young Master Su will be under him!"
Saying that, Zhong Litian gave Bai Yu a look, and the latter took out a cloth bag and handed it to the guard next to Grand Prince Su.
Zhong Litian and his two lives naturally knew that money could make ghosts grind.
Now I can not do it, although it is a bit worldly, but why not?
Master Su moved his fat body, took the cloth bag, opened it, and his face suddenly changed from interest to surprise.
There were only three transparent stones half the size of a palm in the cloth bag, which were exuding a trace of aura. Spirit Stone!
The most valuable thing in the world of the Apocalyptic Empire is gold, and some low-level monks also use gold, but once they reach the high-level monks, the objects they trade will become spirit stones.
The spirit stone contains pure spiritual power, and absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stone is several times faster than absorbing the spiritual power from the outside world. It's just that the output of spirit stones is not high, and only high-level monks can afford to use them.
Generally speaking, only one hundred catties of gold can be exchanged for one catty of spirit stones of the lowest grade.
Now the spirit stone given by Zhong Litian is heavy, not to mention one or two catties, which is an objective amount of money.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw the spirit stone, Young Master Su's face changed: "A few of you are guests from afar, why don't you come to my city lord's mansion and sit down?"
"There are still important things to do, and I hope that Su Gongzi will not be surprised!" Zhong Litian didn't have the leisure to accompany this little doll to make trouble, he still had something to do.
It's just that Young Master Su's face became gloomy again: "What...... Don't give face?"
* Naked threats, do you dare not go?
Young Master Su has already made a calculation, and seeing that this group of people is generous, there must be a lot of oil and water.
It's just that there are a lot of people here, so it's not easy to rob them openly, and when the time comes, trick them into the city lord's mansion, isn't it for others to slaughter?
As for the revenge of this group of people in the future, he also thought clearly, what kind of identity will a few untouchables who still have to queue up? If they die, they will be killed, and he thinks that his father will agree.
Zhong Litian shook his head, his soul power was clear, how could he not know what this eldest young master meant, since he wanted to play, then he would accompany him to play enough.
"Young Master Su, you really toast and don't eat and drink......"
