Chapter Seventy-One: Mercy Clouds
It was already afternoon, and the heavy snow that had been falling for a day had finally stopped, and the snow in the deepest part of the city was already half a man high, but there were still gloomy dark clouds in the sky, as if it would snow again at any moment.
Looking down from the third floor of Songheju, you can faintly see the people on the adjacent street shoveling snow, and a blue and black stone road was quickly opened up.
Zheng Yu was wearing a heavy white fox fur, looking at the crowd below who were busy like black spots, and sighed lightly
"Tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, this kind of life is actually quite good, isn't it" He looked at the young man sitting on the side.
Ye Cheng was still dressed in a thin white shirt, his cultivation had already reached the realm of cold and heat, and the qi and blood in his body were like furnaces, and this cold had no effect on him.
"It's very good, if there weren't so many deceitful people in this world, and there weren't so many demons and monsters, I also wanted to be a big young master in peace, leading the eagle and walking the dog every day, and occasionally flirting with a good woman or something, but unfortunately this is only if"
Zheng Yu glanced at this friend a little strangely
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of thought, I thought you were the kind of martial arts idiot who is crazy about martial arts."
Ye Cheng picked up the Tanzhou rice wine in front of the table, the mellow aroma of wine filled the room, and the window was covered in silver.
"Martial arts are difficult to achieve, others look at the masters of the inner family as high, but who knows how much blood and sweat is left behind the scenes"
Since he practiced martial arts, he has hardly slept a peaceful night, practicing martial arts, practicing qi, collecting medicinal herbs and ghost weapons, fighting and killing ghosts, and every day is tense nerves.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly
"No one likes hard work, they just don't want to be weak"
Zheng Yu muttered this sentence in his mouth, and lost his mind for a while.
The room fell silent for a while, and both of them did not speak, each drinking the rice wine in their cups.
After a long time, Ye Cheng finally broke the silence
"What's the matter, the Zheng family should be busy now, how can you have time to come to me?"
When he went out of the customs, he was originally going to go to Qingyu Pavilion to buy talisman seal materials and listen to the news by the way, but before he could go out, Zheng Yu arrived at the house.
"No matter how busy I am, it's not my turn to be busy, and now my biggest task in the family is you"
Zheng Yu returned to the table and chuckled
"You don't know your current status, even if I don't do anything, as long as I hold your thigh, no one can shake my position in the family"
He ridiculed his words, but Ye Cheng could feel the loneliness in it, Zheng Yu was the heir with the most management talent among the four clans, and he had his own pride.
As if realizing that the atmosphere was wrong, Zheng Yu quickly adjusted
He took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, snapped it, and slapped it on the table
"This is 600,000 taels, half of it belongs to you, and the other half wants you to help exchange some talismans from the Qingyu Pavilion."
The silver tickets roared and stacked on the table, as thick as a palm
"It's no problem to change the talisman seal, the relationship between you and me, I won't accept this silver" Ye Cheng said softly, although it was more than 300,000 taels, it was not in his eyes
"One yard to one yard, you should still keep this silver, if you don't take it, I'm afraid that those old guys in the clan will not be able to feel at ease" Zheng Yu chuckled and waved his hand, and then sighed lightly
"You are not the Ye family young master you used to be"
Ye Cheng thought for a moment, and finally agreed
"But can this talisman be faster, the clan is in a hurry."
"What, the situation has changed again?" Ye Cheng frowned, he heard the meaning of Zheng Yu's words, the Zheng family already felt insecure, and tried their best to rely on the talisman magic weapon to ensure their safety.
"Hey, our Beining City is good, this has been snowing for more than ten days, but there is not even a single person who freezes to death."
Ye Cheng's eyes shrank suddenly
"Not a single one?"
"Not a single one," Zheng Yu said in a low voice
Ye Cheng's expression was serious, although Beining City is a big city, in this kind of farming society, there are still many homeless beggars in the city.
After more than ten days of heavy snowfall, no one froze to death, even in modern society.
"What's more," Ye Cheng asked
"There are no less than 3,000 missing people in the city, and some small clans have already dragged their families and prepared to leave Bac Ninh City because of the wrong direction."
"I'll do it right away, it's not safe in the city, if anything really happens, come to my house."
Ye Cheng said to his friend, as a bloodline clan that has been out of the Spirit Slaying Realm, although the Ye family is broken, it is still not comparable to several other such ordinary families, and the first-order ink jade rune sword alone is not something that ordinary families can have.
After joining the Qingyu Pavilion, Ye Cheng was no longer the boy who didn't know anything at the beginning, and his vision was greatly improved.
The talisman sword enshrined in the ancestral hall in the family is a first-order talisman that even the Qingyu Pavilion cannot exchange, and this level of talisman is no different from the legendary immortal magic weapon in the eyes of ordinary people.
It's just that he also knows that this talisman has some kind of limitation, and it can only be used by the people of the Ye family, and every time he uses it, the price he has to pay is also very great.
Zheng Yu said goodbye and left, Ye Cheng didn't keep it, put away the money, Ye Cheng came to the outside of Ling'er's room, felt the faint breath in the room, lingered for a while, and finally didn't go in.
As soon as he came out of the customs, he found the faint cold aura in Ling'er's room, as the peak master of the inner family, his sense of internal qi was naturally extremely sensitive.
In his senses, the trace of internal qi seemed to dissipate at any time, a situation that he was familiar with, and it was a precursor to the imminent entry of internal qi.
"It's only been more than half a month since this girl got this exercise, and she's almost getting started......"
He was shocked in his heart, this is already cheating, ordinary martial artists have been working hard for many years, and there is only a glimmer of hope for breaking through the internal qi after more than ten years, Zhao Yingchen is the best example, this is still a case of good martial arts talent.
But Ling'er not only skipped this stage, but also touched the threshold of internal qi in just half a month, and this speed has completely exceeded common sense
"Nine Yin Absolute Pulse," Ye Cheng whispered to himself.
"It's still a good thing now, if the internal qi is introduced, at least it will have the power of protection, and there may be relevant records in the Qingyu Pavilion."
A thoughtful look flashed on Ye Cheng's face, and after a while, Ye Cheng's figure disappeared into the mansion.
............
The streets were sparsely populated, and some middle-aged men in gray cotton jackets were shoveling snow, and the thick snow was pushed aside and piled up into a hill.
A few children ran madly onto the snowdrifts, and when they pinched it at random, it was a big snowball and smashed it at the playmate opposite, and the squeaky laughter spread through the streets, and even the gloomy sky seemed to be brighter.
On the green tile house, the snow keeps falling, and it is rare for the snow to stop, and the tile house is not strong, so the snow on the roof should be swept off as soon as possible.
"This year is really evil, it has snowed for less than ten days in October, really" A gray-robed man waved a shovel and pushed aside the snow in front of the door
"Who said it wasn't, the autumn grain has not been confiscated, and now the grain in the city is a price a day, this winter, it's sad."
A few people next to him chimed in, knocking down the ice edge of their house, and the ice powder fell to the ground on the bluestone slab.
Stomp
A clear sound of footsteps came, as if it had a rhythm, attracting the attention of everyone on the street.
A woman with a beautiful face walked from the end, her white shoes stepping on the bluestone floor, echoing with a clear sound.
The sky and earth are white, the dress is white, and even the skin is white and tender like snow, like a snow lotus, ice clear and jade, and gentle temperament.
There are a lot of ladies in Bac Ninh City, but it is really rare to see the woman in front of you, like the fairy in the painting and the goddess in the snow.
Several men couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves, but their eyes still kept peeking.
The woman didn't seem to sense anything, her eyes were firmly fixed on her palm, and several people on the street looked at the woman's empty white palm, a little inexplicable, but they still sighed in their hearts, such tender hands.
Lianyun stared at the phoenix statue in her palm, and as she continued to advance, the white jade phoenix unexpectedly revealed bursts of red light.
"That's not wrong, it's here, it can make Xue Feng have such a strong sense, what kind of qualification is that person?"
Lian Yun's face showed joy, originally she only took the task in the door and arrived in the remote town of the Northern Spirit Domain, but she didn't expect that in this small city with a bad corner, Xue Feng actually had a feeling, which immediately made her happy.
"Once every ten years, the mountain gate is opened, and it is difficult for countless children of the family to find a genius who can make Xue Feng feel it, and I actually met it like this"
Lian Yun couldn't help but sigh, and then her face became more and more happy, the faction of Shizun was all dependent on her, thinking of the complicated situation in the door, a trace of worry also rose on the woman's face.
If there is another genius who can make Xue Feng feel it, then the position of their family in the sect will really be stable.
"This disciple must be brought back"
The red light on the white jade phoenix flashed, and Lianyun kept correcting its direction according to the statue's instructions, and when he came to this street, the red light was already extremely dazzling.
She looked up at the end of the street, and at a great distance, a large mansion came into view
"Ye Fu?"
She frowned slightly, the history of the Ye family could be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from a sect disciple like him.
"Even if it has something to do with Xuanlingmen, it was an old thing a hundred years ago, this disciple must be brought back to the sect."
With a resolute look in her eyes, she was about to walk towards Ye Mansion.
"Huh?"
She sighed softly, stopped, flipped the palm of her hand, and a white jade token shining with clear light appeared in her hand.
With a swipe of the hand, lines of text are projected directly into the air.
As she read, Lianyun's face became solemn.
"Is the situation in Bac Ninh already so serious?"
Glancing at the Ye Mansion not far away, she thought for a moment
"The situation in the city is strange now, and it is dangerous to find out it rashly......"
"Let's take care of the ghosts first."
There was a flash of evil on her pretty face, and the snow suddenly blew in the air, and when the snowflakes fell, the woman's figure had disappeared, leaving only a few stunned men on the street.
