Sorrowful City, a city that makes people feel sad and worried when they hear the name. Its city has been more than 200 years now, located in the mountain gate of the leisurely mountain, as long as you pass the sorrowful city, you can go all the way into the leisurely mountain. The area of the city is not large, and it is surrounded by high black walls, and it is neat and square when you look down. It's just that why is it called the word Worrying City, this is to go into the city and ask the lord of Worrying City, or to understand the old people in the past.

Passing through the city gate without any obstacles, Jingye looked at the long street where people came and went, and there were shops and stalls on both sides, if it weren't for the difference between the houses and the ground, he might have subconsciously thought that he was back in Chang'an City.

Except that most of the houses are made of earth and stone and sunken wood, the clothes of the people living here are the same as those of the people of the Tang Kingdom, and there is no difference. Maybe Cangnan is a little more unique, and people dress differently from the world.

After the survey, Jingye walked leisurely into the city. In the next few days, he not only had to inquire about the news of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, but also to find the bandits in this worrying city and find out if the elixir they were looking for was Qilin Grass.

The purpose is extremely clear and clear, as for the difficulty, for the Pure Industry that is now cultivating to the peak of the Xuandan Realm, as long as it can't meet two powerhouses of the Taichu Realm, then there is no problem.

A long time has passed since noon, and the pure industry has also walked in the city for a while. I accidentally saw a simple tea shop on the side of the road, and Jingye felt that he was a little thirsty, so he walked into the tea shop that had no customers.

"Boss, come to a bowl of herbal tea. ”

Randomly found a seat and sat down, Jingye looked at the tea shop owner who was pouring the tea bowl and said.

"Okay, wait a minute. The owner of the tea shop didn't look back, but just responded to the word of Jingye, still bowing his head and making his tea bowl.

However, Jingye didn't say anything, chuckled, withdrew his gaze from the tea shop owner's body, took out the drum from his arms, and began to tease and wait.

Not long after, the tea shop owner, who looked to be in his fifties, dressed in blue coarse cloth clothes, with an apron hanging from his waist, and a large bowl of herbal tea in his hand, came to Jingye and put it down gently.

"Guest officer, the tea is here, please use it slowly. Seeing that Jingye was holding a small black python in his hand, the owner of the tea shop was not afraid, and after putting the herbal tea in front of Jingye, he said with a smile.

Touching the bulging head, Jingye put it back in his arms, and then took the herbal tea without any hesitation, and took a sip under the gaze of the tea shop owner.

"Well, it tastes good. ”

After only taking a sip, Jingye put down the bowl and praised it.

The owner of the tea shop smiled when he heard this, but sat on the other side of the table, and said sadly: "It's still a guest officer, my herbal tea skills are passed down from my ancestors, and so far to me, there have been five generations old, but it's a pity, this business is difficult to do, and no one drinks herbal tea, alas." ”

"How can it be difficult, this herbal tea has a unique taste, and it has a long aftertaste, I think the people of this worried city should often come to you to drink a bowl. ”

Seeing the sad face of the tea shop owner, Jingye smiled softly, looked at the eyes coming and going on the street, and said calmly.

"What does the guest officer think is unique in the taste, do you feel that the surroundings are moving?" did not answer directly, the tea shop owner stared at Jingye for a short time, and then asked.

It's just that Jingye's eyes are bright and dark, and there is a smile on his delicate and charming face, without the slightest sense of dizziness.

"I said boss, this tea is good tea, but if people's hearts are not kind,

Then this tea is not much better. The things you put in here may be very useful, but they don't have any effect on me, so why don't we talk about it?"

Tapping his fingers on the table, Jingye glanced at the bowl of herbal tea like a black mirror, and smiled at the tea shop owner.

When the owner of the tea shop heard this, his brows furrowed, and the cortex on his forehead accumulated a lot, he looked at Jingye like this, wiped his palms with his apron, and took a bag of oiled paper from his pocket and put it on the table.

"I know almost all the people in this worried city, and I know it, you and I have met for the first time, so I should have just entered the city. Seeing that you are young, you should not be an ordinary person, so the purpose of coming here should also be to join those bandits. ”

Looking at the pure industry bitterly, the owner of the tea shop explained the reason for drugging him.

"I said, boss, you have been in this business for many years, and you have some experience in observing people's appearances, but today you are wrong. I noticed just now that the people of the past would look at you here, showing gentle eyes. This also means that you are usually a good person and your business is hot. But today it's just me, and they all know what you're going to do. ”

His fingers stopped tapping, and Jingye picked up the bowl of herbal tea full of ingredients, took another sip, and said slowly.

The owner of the tea shop looked at Jingye's move, and he was even more sure that he had indeed looked away, and the young man in front of him was estimated to have good strength and could ignore the fierce medicine he had given.

"The people who live in the city hate the bandits, but we are just ordinary people, and there is no way, but I really can't stand it, so I think that I can solve one by one, even if it is those outsiders who come here, I will never let it go. ”

"How many did you kill?"

"There is not a single bandit in the city, and five of the people who want to join it have died, and you are the sixth to meet me. ”

"It wasn't much use, but you did your best. With a sigh of relief, Jingye's face became slightly serious, and he said: "It's true that I'm an outsider, and it's not true that I'm here to find out about the city bandits, but I won't join them, and it's even possible that I will destroy them all." ”

"You're so young, but why?"

The owner of the tea shop stared at Jingye, and didn't feel that the young man in front of him, who looked less than twenty years old, was joking, but he couldn't figure out the reason, it was not that he had a deep hatred with the city bandits.

"I'm telling you this, just to say that I'm not what you think, and you don't have to do anything to me again, let alone worry about it. Waving his hand, Jingye did not answer the question of the tea shop owner, but said indifferently.

From the moment he came to the tea shop and sat down, the tea shop owner's actions had already been seen through by him at a glance. If it weren't for the fact that the tea shop owner didn't have spiritual power fluctuations and bloody aura on his body, I am afraid that I would have taken him away with one finger just now.

Hearing this, the tea shop owner was silent. His eyes were a little cloudy, but they were bright. After paying attention to his surroundings, he said worriedly: "Young man, this city of worries is not peaceful anymore, and those city bandits are not easy to mess with. You're still young, don't do stupid things. ”

The face of Pure Karma gives people a clear and unprovoked appearance, and from the first glance, they will not think of him and those bandits at all, but the owner of the tea shop hates the city bandits very much, so he will attack him after Pure Karma comes. Now that he has said that, he also regrets it a little.

"Uncle, why don't you tell me why this city bandit came to Worrying City, and what did they do?"

A few taels of silver were placed on the table, hoping to get more information from him.

The owner of the tea shop glanced at the silver on the table, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he hesitated: "I don't know when the city bandits came, they seem to have come to the city to find something, but this thing is only known to a mysterious person, so those city bandits are looking for people everywhere, and they have arrested all the people they suspect, and the people who have been arrested... Didn't come back. ”

In the end, the tea shop owner clenched his palms, his face trembled, and he was very excited. Jingye looked at the owner of the tea shop and guessed the reason for him in his heart.

"Does the lord of the castle care? Do you know what that thing is?"

"City Lord, hehe, after the City Lord knew the purpose of the city bandits, he quickly joined them. No one knows what they are looking for, and now the people living in this worried city are worried about their safety, and these days the city bandits have become more and more cruel, and more and more people are arrested, alas. ”

sneered, and the owner of the tea shop felt very ridiculous when he thought of this city lord of the worried city. It stands to reason that he should have sheltered these people, but he allowed the thieves to commit atrocities, which was chilling.

"Looks like something is going on here. Hearing this, Jingye said in his heart, and then said to the owner of the tea shop: "Uncle, let's try to avoid it these days, since those city bandits behave like this, it's better to dodge." ”

"Thank you, young man, I've lived half my life, there's nothing to care about, this city of worries used to be a leisurely city, but now it's a city of worries, that's it, alas. With a long sigh, the owner of the tea shop got up and walked to the stall where the tea was made and continued to work, without looking at the silver put by the pure industry.

Seeing this, Jingye shook his head, glanced at the back of the tea shop owner who was poured by the slanting sun, and left the shop softly.

Walking through the two long streets, Jingye kept thinking about the conversation with the tea shop owner just now, coupled with the information he got from the inn before, he determined two things.

The first thing is that the city lord and the city bandits are in the same group.

Second, their purpose is not simple, what they are looking for should be an elixir!

However, now that Jingye has not encountered the city bandits in other people's mouths, he plans to find a place to settle down first, and then see if there is any news from the Tianzhu Temple in the city of worries, and then go to investigate the matter here.

But just as soon as Jingye decided to settle down, there was a chase not far in front of him.

A young man with an ordinary appearance and a brown coat was running towards him like crazy, and behind him, several knife-wielding men fell from the roof of the house, in hot pursuit.

Stopping in place, Jingye looked at the scene in front of him, thinking that this was too coincidental. I just said that I didn't meet the city bandits, but now I met them after walking a few steps.

"Stop!"

The young man's desperate speed prevented the knife-wielding men from catching up for a while, and those people opened their mouths to shout. It's just that in this case, only a fool will stop.

Seeing that the target was fleeing, one of the knife-wielding men suddenly jumped up, and then gathered spiritual power in his hand and slashed at the young man.

The sharp knife shot out, and the speed was fast, but in a few seconds, it was about to cut the young man.

It's just that at this time, a slender white palm appeared in front of the knife, and then gently crushed the knife like pinching thin ice.
