Volume 1 Chapter 319 Reality
Zhong Suo promised that Ren Tianxiang would take the three of him to the slum to find the drunkard, and Xing Lingluo and Xuanyuan Liuli also expressed great interest in this matter and decided to follow Ren Tianxiang and Zhong Suo. As for the meals they ordered and the lunches they brought for their teammates, Ren Tianxiang told Xiao Er to help them keep them first, and then come back to get them after they finished dealing with things.
In this way, Zhong Suo took the three of them out of the restaurant and walked along the avenue towards the west of Hongyi City.
As we all know, Hongyi Castle is a city built in the Yokoku Mountains, and its predecessor was one of the four fortresses of the Southern Continent Alliance. Because it was built in the Yokoriku Mountains, there were only two walls in the north and south, and the east and west directions of Hongyi Castle were already close to the mountain walls on both sides, so there was no need to build a city wall. Of course, clinging to the mountain wall is very dangerous, and although it is protected by the Sky Shifting Star Array, there are still occasional smaller stones falling from the mountain wall and smashing into the city. For this reason, very few people in Hongyi City are willing to live near the mountain walls on the east and west sides, and it is also for this reason that the east and west sides have become settlements for those poor people. In the nearly 10,000-year history of Hongyi City, it has always been a place where the poor live, and no one mentioned the need to improve the living conditions of the poor, nor did anyone mention the need to rectify the chaos in the slums.
Hongyi City is very large, although this majestic city is built on the gap in the Henglu Mountain Range, but its east-west connection is also seventy or eighty kilometers, this can be regarded as a modern small city!
Along the avenue connecting the east and west in Hongyi City, Ren Tianxiang and the others soon walked to the boundary of Xicheng District. Compared with the bustling Nancheng District, the Xicheng District of Hongyi City is much more depressed. There are no bustling streets, no bustling shopping streets, and no hawkers chanting incessantly. There were very few pedestrians on the streets, and even when they walked down the streets, they looked hurried, as if they did not want to linger on the streets for a few more moments.
Ren Tianxiang was very curious about the scene here, so he touched Zhong Suo with his elbow and asked, "Zhong Shuo, why is the appearance of Xicheng District completely different from that of Nancheng District and Beicheng District?"
"Shaoxia, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District are naturally not as good as Nancheng District, and all the people living here are poor families. The closer they got to the western border, the poorer the people who lived there, and if they were to live in the city, they had to work constantly in order to get enough money for the family to survive. Unlike people in the southern part of the city, they rarely have time to spare, and even when they walk the streets, they go to another place of work or go home. This is also why the commercial development of Xicheng District is slow, and it is difficult for the people to even survive, how can they have spare money to squander?"
"Is that so?" Ren Tianxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Where does the drunkard live with his sister?"
"Just in front, they are still the kind of people who live better, so they don't live too far away. As he spoke, Zhong Suo pointed to the alley not far away and said, "Shaoxia, they live in that alley, and they will arrive soon." ”
Seeing that alley, Ren Tianxiang wrinkled. The alley was simple and narrow, and if they encountered danger in the alley, they had no room to use it, and the alley only needed five or six people to block it, and the people inside couldn't figure it out.
But soon, Ren Tianxiang put his mind at ease. He is also a ghost-level peak monk now, and he can already be regarded as standing at the middle and upper level of all monks. Moreover, he still has the two great killing weapons of dragon slaying and dragon killing in his hands, even if there is no room to swing the sword, he can also perform the first form of the poetic swordsmanship, cutting the gap between himself and the enemy. Such a small alley can't be used by themselves, and if there is really an enemy, they are afraid that they will not be able to use it. When the time comes, there will be the time element of the star spirit falling, even if someone blocks the alley, there is no way to take them.
Ren Tianxiang can be so confident, the most important thing is that he got one of the Longquan double swords, the Zhulong Sword, from Li Xinda, so that the combination of the Zhulong and Dragon Swords can unseal the more powerful power of the Longquan Empire's Moon King Long Yue. That is the power of a Phantom-level peak cultivator, even if he has already returned from his soul, but the power he left behind, even a saint-level monk does not dare to resist.
secretly gave Xinglingluo and Xuanyuan Liuli a look, and motioned for the two of them to be ready as well, in case someone was ambushed in the alley. The two girls immediately understood what Ren Tianxiang meant, and their fingers were faintly pressed on their storage rings, as long as they encountered danger, they could immediately take out their weapons and enter the battle state.
Zhong Shuo took the lead in the alley, Ren Tianxiang followed behind him, but he didn't find anything abnormal, but this alley is actually not as good as it looks from the outside, the inside is actually spacious, and several huts also have a yard, and the environment looks pretty good.
There are about five or six small courtyards in this alley, of course, the small courtyard here is not like the one where Xuanyuan Liuli is in Star City, the small courtyard here does not have a towering courtyard wall, and some are just a simple fence to enclose the small courtyard, and you can see every move in the small courtyard from the outside.
These little courtyards look pretty much the same, they are all simple huts, simple yards, and simple fences. This place should have been planned when Hongyi City was first established, and these small courtyards should have been built a long time ago, and they have gone through countless years of wind and rain, and they have also undergone countless repairs or reconstructions. Perhaps many years ago, it was the middle and upper class of Hongyi City who lived here, but now, only people like drunkards are willing to live in these courtyards.
However, although the small courtyard is simple, it is not dilapidated, and there are some vegetables or fruits planted in each small courtyard, which looks like the mountain residence of some hermits living in the mountains in the south, with a somewhat leisurely taste.
There was a little girl in one of the courtyards. At this time, she was holding a basin of water and carefully watering the flowers and plants in the yard, their yard was the most special one among these yards, only this yard was planted with flowers and plants, and it was the most eye-catching one among these yards.
This girl doesn't look very old, she looks like she is fifteen or sixteen years old, but in fact, Xing Lingluo is now about seventeen years old, although she dresses plainly, she looks clean and clean, giving people a refreshing feeling. The girl is quite delicate, but she is also the kind of person who is not easy to find in the pile.
The girl stood up at this time, caught a glimpse of Zhong Suo, and immediately puffed out her mouth, crossed her hands on her waist, and said, "Zhong Shuo, why are you here again! Our family has already returned the money to you, and if you come to harass us again, I will really sue you to the Civil Security Division!"
