Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 59 A Neutral Land
Jingkong looked at the pale-faced demon fighter and said, "You can actually be silent after being fingered by me, you can still be considered a man, and the old man will spare you this time." ”
"Thank you Master for not killing!"
Where is the arrogance of the demon fighter, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and then wanted to leave.
"Wait. Jingkong stopped him and said, "Bring a message to your master for the old man." ”
"I wonder if the master has any good words to bring to His Highness?"
"My grievances with the Beacon City have nothing to do with others, and I must not embarrass these juniors. ”
"The little one must report this sentence to His Highness word for word. ”
"Alas, just let him go like this, it's really cheap for this magic dog. Watching the Demon Fighter stagger and disappear into the night, Xu Chen muttered unwillingly.
Jingkong smiled disappreciatively and said: "Today is really a disappointment, and there is no interest in disturbing the good banquet." ”
"Master, I don't know what you have to do with that old thief in the city, not long after you came to the Central Plains, he sent someone to follow you?"
Xu Chen's heart at this moment couldn't help but admire the clear space, you must know that his master, the god king Garama, was injured by the beacon fire back then, and the injury could not be completely healed even if he died, but the master of the pure space didn't seem to take this demon in his eyes between his words, which showed how amazing his magic cultivation was!
"It was more than 20 years ago. After a pause, he said, "I was young and frivolous, but now I don't want to cause trouble when I'm old...... Forget it, don't mention the past. ”
Jingkong is reluctant to confide in everyone about the past, so everyone is naturally not good at asking again. A homeless man said a little worriedly, "Master, the Beacon City is a notoriously vicious person, do you think he will stop because of your words?"
After announcing the Buddha's name, Jingkong said: "You don't have to worry, even if he has a grudge in his heart, he will only come to the old man alone, and he will never embarrass your donors." ”
Seeing that there was still disbelief in everyone's eyes, Jingkong smiled faintly and said: "As the benefactor said, the beacon city has always acted viciously, and its methods are also despicable and obscene. But don't forget that he is a generation of demon lords, how could he do things that do not conform to his identity. ”
"You're saying he's dismissive of little people like us and doesn't want to waste his time there?"
"The donor is smart!" said with a smile: "You have known the old man for nearly a month, if you really want to make things difficult for the old man, you only need to send someone to capture you and others to use it to blackmail." But he didn't do it, which shows that he is a real villain, not a hypocrite. ”
Everyone who said this table nodded frequently: "What the master said is extremely true!"
Another homeless man said: "I heard that although the Beacon City is a great traitor, he also keeps his word and never breaks his word. can be regarded as an opponent in his mind, I am afraid that there are not many people in the world......"
Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes looking at the clear sky also changed, and then he turned down and bowed in the surprised eyes of everyone, and said: "The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive the God King!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, Xu Chen also thought to himself that what this benevolent brother said was extremely right, even the master Garama was afraid of the flames, but the master didn't take him seriously, he could have this amazing strength, except for the God King, who else could have such courage! Alas, why am I so stupid, I have only now figured out the reason.
Xu Chen couldn't help but have a fever on his face, and hurriedly bowed down with everyone.
But Jingkong's face was flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and said a little embarrassed: "The benefactors are too high-spirited! The poor monk is just a Fanghua person, how can he take on the great responsibility of the god king." ”
Xu Chen still asked suspiciously: "If the master is not a god king, how can he have this unpredictable mana cultivation?"
Jingkong didn't answer directly, but turned to him, "Who among you has ever seen a god king who is a monk?"
Only then did everyone come to their senses, not to mention the current Seven God Kings, even in the past hundred years, no God King was born as a monk.
In order to completely dispel everyone's suspicions, Jingkong said with a smile: "What's more, I'm still a monk who steals chickens and dogs, which noble god king do you say would do such an indecent thing?"
Xu Chen saw that he had recognized the wrong person, and his face was feverish again, and he hurriedly apologized to the Master of Pure Space.
Jingkong's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "I originally wanted to spend a few more days with you, but unfortunately we are about to part now." ”
Everyone listened a little sadly, and Xu Chen asked in a lost voice: "Why is the master leaving, it is better to be a host in this Longquan Temple, it is also a pleasant thing." ”
"Little donor, you are too kind. Jingkong patted him on the shoulder and said, "If the old man stays, it will hurt everyone." ”
Xu Chen pondered in his heart, and secretly said yes, although the demon in the Beacon City did not ask me for trouble, he would not spare the master. If Jingkong stays in Longquan Temple, it will be really troublesome in the future, and it will definitely affect everyone. So he took this opportunity to leave to ensure everyone's safety.
Jingkong turned his eyes to the person who had taken out the baggage of gold and silver money and said, "If you stay in this temple, you will use the ill-gotten wealth outside Zhang Yuanwai to repair the temple and rebuild the golden body of the Buddha. ”
Everyone responded in unison: "We are all people who have nothing to worry about, where else can we go, it is better to stay here and wait for the master to come back to be the master of this temple in the future." ”
"Okay!" Jingkong was a little moved, and he muttered: "Fate arises, everything has a destiny. If the old man does not go to the west to worship the Buddha, there should be a day of reunion. ”
After saying that, he bowed to everyone and floated away without hesitation.
A gust of cold wind blew, rolling up a few unburned black ashes, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel sad, but the matter had come to this, and he had to say goodbye solemnly to the homeless people with a smile.
The homeless man who managed the money knew that Xu Chen was a person who had traveled far away, so he took out a few gold ingots from his baggage and stuffed them to him.
Xu Chen knew that these people with bleak backgrounds needed money more than him, so he was willing to accept this generous gift, and insisted on refusing to accept it. The homeless man also knew that this young man had a loyal personality, so he no longer persuaded him, and took a cup to toast Xu Chen before saying goodbye to him.
Xu Chen went back to take a nap for a while, the sky was already bright, he looked at the quiet scenery outside the window a little reluctantly, then resolutely went out to untie the white horse tied to the old tree, and galloped away in the direction of Qingping County.
Fortunately, in the later journey, Xu Chen never encountered any bizarre and tortuous things, and he finally arrived at his destination, Qingping County.
Shangzhou is one of the nine major states in the Central Plains, which is a peculiar place.
First of all, it is neither the territory of the Protoss, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the demons, but an independent small kingdom.
This is thanks to the supreme ruler of Shangzhou, Fu Qianxiu, known as the King of Taiping. His family has been the royal blood of the Protoss for generations, and his grandfather almost became the Emperor of the Protoss, but for some reason, Zen was ceded to others, so the Protoss has always been courteous to the Fu Wangye family.
In his father's generation, he had saved the life of the Demon Venerable by coincidence, so the Demon Clan also owed Fu Wangfu the affection, so naturally he would not meet the soldiers of Shangzhou.
And after Fu Qianxiu took over the throne from his father, he brought the balance of left and right to the extreme, he did not offend the gods in his life, but also befriended the demons, so Shangzhou has been a neutral zone for more than fifty years, and there has never been a war.
In this troubled era, there is such a peaceful region as Shangzhou, which can be said to be a paradise that most ordinary people yearn for.
Many people fleeing the war moved here with their families, and Shangzhou unknowingly became the most populous and fertile place in the world.
Some warriors who can't get along in the gods and demons, or who offend their own race for some reason, also choose Shangzhou as the destination for the rest of their lives, Fu Qianxiu has adopted a conniving attitude towards this, as long as the comers don't cause trouble in Shangzhou, let these people live in their own territory with peace of mind.
And the gods and demons have also formed a tacit understanding about this, that is, if someone under them flees into Shangzhou, it means that this person and the past grievances will be cut in two. If they keep to themselves from now on, the gods and demons will no longer embarrass them.
Of course, this kind of favor does not apply to some people who have committed the most evil crimes, because the evil deeds they have done have reached the point of the common wrath of man and God, and there is no place for him in the whole world.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Chen is undoubtedly one of the criminals who are not amnesty, and he knows it in his own heart, so although he is in Shangzhou City, he is always on guard against being recognized.
Although his appearance has changed, his accent and habits are difficult to change for a while, and he still doesn't dare to take it lightly, after all, he has suffered a lot of losses along the way, and people have slowly learned a little smarter.
At this moment, he walked out of the small hotel, and he seemed to have no energy at all.
It's been five days since he stayed in this rich little county, but he broke his leg, and he didn't find any news about Song Wuji, and he didn't even inquire about anyone with the same name and surname, which didn't make Xu Chen feel depressed.
There was not much left of the entanglement, and only then did he regret it, thinking that if he had been cheeky enough to accept the money from the Master of Pure Sky, he would not be in such a depressed situation as he is now.
But he had to gain a foothold in this place, but he didn't have the ability to make money, Xu Chen could only think about finding a place to work part-time, preparing to make money while continuing to find Song Wuji's whereabouts.
After running all morning, Xu Chen, who was looking for a job, ran into a wall one after another, he couldn't help but sigh, and thought: "If you can't find a job tomorrow, you will go to a big family to take care of the family's nursing home, and the spells you practice can come in handy." ”
Just as he was about to eat a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall to fill his stomach, he saw a group of people surrounding the wall in front of him, and he didn't know what to discuss.
Curious, he stepped forward to take a look, and found a notice on the wall, on which were also drawn three men with unkind faces.
This may be a notice posted by the government to arrest the gangsters, Xu Chen didn't take it seriously, and was about to go back to dinner, when he suddenly heard someone behind him: "If someone can rescue his beloved daughter, Huang is willing to reward him with 1,000 taels of gold......"
A man with a majestic appearance was shaking his head and reading the contents of the notice.
A thousand taels of gold? Xu Chen's ears pricked up when he heard this, this is a huge amount of money for him, if he has so much money, he will be considered a little rich man in Shangzhou, let alone live for a year, I am afraid that he will not be able to use it up until he dies.
Xu Chen suddenly understood that this was a reward notice, and he was excited, so he quickly turned around and ran over to squeeze inside, wanting to verify whether what the person read just now was true.
