Chapter Seventy-Four: To Laocheng

The contemplation of the mysterious eyes did not take up much of the time, and after consulting with Wei Xi and the Eight Feathers, he decided to immediately set off for the location of the Lai City in the Land of the Fox, seeking the golden bead to borrow the spirit weapon of the elder child to relieve the whale plight in Bell City.

Nine and a half are not uncurious about the mysterious phenomenon of this nameless ancient city, after all, the energy to destroy an ancient city overnight is too terrifying. At the same time, the other problem was that both he and Hachiyu sensed that there was an unusual phenomenon in the location of this ancient city, which was not only caused by ghosts or other things, but also for other reasons. But Jiu Ban and the others had a heavy responsibility and couldn't delay, so they set off immediately.

Familiar eyes watched them until they left the ancient city.

Laocheng, located in the middle of the mainland, in the eastern plain of the country of the fierce, near the sea, is located in the middle reaches of the Hekou River, the climate is warm and suitable for transportation, and it is not only the blessed land of the common name of "the country of abundance" for the production of grain, but also the favorite place for merchants to choose to settle down. It is not surprising that the land of the Monkey was once called the "Chosen Country", and that Laocheng was called the "Land of Abundance".

A good climate raises good food, and it also raises beautiful children. Laocheng is famous for its beauty in the Nine Kingdoms, in addition to its almost inexhaustible annual supply of good food. In this place, it is almost the harem of wealthy businessmen from all over the world. The girl of Laocheng is known for her "skin is like clotted fat, warm and moist like jade", and there are even words in the circle of some people that "take a concubine and be a girl of Laicheng". It's just a pity that Jiuhan doesn't have much chance to deal with the girls in Laocheng.

Entry, entry into the city, customs clearance documents are sound, and the journey is smooth. However, after entering the city, they were "invited" to the barracks by several soldiers stationed in the city, but after a while, they were respectfully invited out again.

In the name of "spot checks", in fact, it is just that these petty officials want to cheat some oil and water.

In the big tent of the barracks, Jiu Ban and the little officer stared at each other, Wei Xicheng stood aside to see the opportunity, and Ba Yu stood aside as if he didn't see anything, whistling a little.

"This package is yours?" the officer began, staring at Nine-Half's face as if trying to see something out of it. In front of him lay a small package, which was hard stuffed with silver coins.

Nine and a half didn't speak.

"Let me ask you again, is this package yours?" the officer still looked at Jiu Ban, and there was a bit of a threat in his tone.

Jiu Ban still didn't speak, his eyes drifting around and he didn't know what to say.

The officer was a little angry, and Wei Xicheng, who was about to speak, hurriedly smiled and said, "No, no, this package is not ours, it's you, sir." ”

Listening to Wei Xicheng's words, the officer gently pinched the small package, then took it in his hand and flipped it, and said, "Well...... It's supposed to be mine, you can go!"

"You!" Hearing the officer say these words, Jiu Ban suddenly stared at the officer with round eyes as if he wanted to say something, but Wei Xicheng hurriedly grabbed his shoulder, and said something like "Sir hard work, let's leave now", and pulled Jiu Ban away. Eight Yu on the side hurriedly followed, and left without looking at the officer.

Behind them, the officer smiled lightly and whispered: "This old man is still a good acquaintance, otherwise it would not be just the two of you, even that chick I want to taste it....."

With that, he licked his lips.

On the street, Jiu and a half shook off Wei Xicheng's arm that was grabbing his arm, and said to Wei Xicheng a little angrily but mostly complainingly: "Brother Wei!" He spoke word by word, very serious. "Why did you give him all that money, the key is to give it so inappropriately?"

"Eliminate the gas for nine and a half, ah, it's not a big deal. Wei Xicheng replied, "Isn't it just a passing money? ”

"Is he a bandit on the mountain or the king of heaven? The money is given to him like this, you look at the expression on his face at that time, ouch yo yo is like an old landlord!" Jiu Ban was a little angry, after all, he knew the rules, but he just couldn't swallow this breath.

This Fang Wei Xicheng comforted him and said, "It's okay, you just treat him as a fart, there are more such people." What's more, Xiucai can't explain why he met Bing, you said that if you beat someone, this is in the country of fox, what can we do. In someone else's house, it's really not with us. ”

Nine and a half thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Besides, there were eight feathers on the side to help persuade him, so after a while, he seemed to have figured it out on his own, and he gradually stopped getting angry.

There are so many shameless things in this world for fools and villains, and if you can avoid them, you can't avoid them, it's impossible to cut wires with a kitchen knife, and cut them one by one with lightning along the way, right?

Laicheng is rich and rich, and its unique geographical conditions have led to the gathering of wealthy merchants. Coupled with the war-weariness and merchant-like characteristics of the people of the country of the Fierce Country, the characteristics of the nine countries of goods have also caused the city to be not only rich, but also particularly rich. There are so many money houses, taverns, inns, theaters and pink places, which almost dazzle Jiuhan. He remembered very well that Yu Buzi had told him that Jin Zhuzi was not only the national teacher of the country of the Devil, but also the owner of the largest money bank in the country of the fox. But, there are so many money villages, so many plaques and so many people in this city, how can the nine and a half be able to distinguish it so quickly?

After walking many streets, I almost lost the man. He stood in the place where the flow of people gathered, scratching his ears and scratching his head, and said with a sad face: "How should I find so many stores, why don't you give an accurate ......" He seemed to want to continue, but for a moment he seemed to be choked by something and couldn't speak. Looking in the direction that Eight Feather pointed to, he saw a huge money house, with three stories of carved beams and paintings. The most obvious is that there is a huge plaque hanging next to the three-story building, and the four big characters written on the plaque are very obvious: Jinjia Qianzhuang.

It's scary.

"That'..... Can that be a money bank opened by Jin Zhuzi....." Nine and a half moments were a little nervous and a little stumbling, the apprehension in his heart or the fright made him unable to say anything for a while, he really couldn't imagine that Jin Zhuzi, who was a national teacher of a country of ruthlessness, could be so popular.... Surprise?

"Probably...... Wei Xicheng answered, "I don't believe you're looking there." Wei Xicheng stood on the side, his eyes a little dumbfounded, he raised his chin slightly, and pointed to the place in front of him. Nine-and-a-half looked at the chin of the unwashed car, and sure enough, a familiar figure fell into his eyes: there was a man in a cloak standing at the front door of the bank, and the man hid his eyes under the cloak to watch the crowd coming and going, but no one seemed to notice him.

It turned out to be a hidden technique. Nine and a half were amazed in their hearts, but they didn't show it. Hidden in the city, he could indeed be sure that the person standing opposite was Jin Zhuzi. Jin Zhuzi deserves to be a senior with profound skills, if it weren't for the fact that he and Wei Xiyan were both figures in the half-saint realm, if it weren't for the fact that their six senses had already opened to a somewhat terrifying point, I am afraid it would be impossible to find each other.

Corresponding to this, the eight feathers beside him shouted "Where, where" while looking around, but he never found any trace of the golden bead.

After hesitating for a while, Jiu Ban finally raised his legs and stepped forward. He decided to go directly to Jin Zhuzi, although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do at the door of the money village with such a huge flow of people at the moment, but it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, since he had already bumped into it, why not say it directly?

Wei Xicheng and Eight Feathers stayed behind him and didn't move, and he didn't take a few steps but suddenly couldn't continue to lift his legs. As if he was blocked by a huge wall of air, his left leg hung in the air in a daze and couldn't continue to move down, which was very funny.

Immediately, Jin Zhuzi's voice with some vicissitudes of life appeared next to Jiu Ban's ears, and he was in his heart: "You are Jiu Ban, do you have something to look for me?"

"Yes, Jin Zhuzi seniors, juniors do have something to ask for. "Since Jin Zhuzi has decided to use the method of teleportation, there must be a certain reason, and Jiuhan can only obey.

"What's the matter. ”

"The country of Pulao is currently suffering from the scourge of whales, and a huge number of whales not only surround the capital city of Zhongcheng, but also gather on almost all the coastlines of the country of Pulao. Although my friend and I have temporarily thought of a way to resist the disaster, but it is not a long-term solution, we have heard that you have an old child spirit weapon in your hand to resist this calamity, so we have been ordered to come and ask for your help. ”

"You're going to make a spiritual artifact for the elderly, and the cultivator has been born?"

"That's true. ”

"Tell me who you are entrusted with. After a moment of slight surprise, Jin Zhuzi's tone regained his calmness, he seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't say it.

"It's the predecessor of Pulao National Teacher Yubuzi. The voice fell, and Jiu Ban took out the sachet that he had given him from the jade cloth he was carrying, and then gently threw it out. The sachet was received by the golden beads in his hand, he looked at it, and then fell silent, and then the national teacher of this country of ruthlessness suddenly burst out with a strong energy, and pushed the nine halves out at once. Nine and a half were shocked far away, Wei Xicheng caught him, and then the words of the golden bead fell into their ears:

"Get out!"

The snow fell so suddenly. Snow suddenly fell between the whole world, as if the world was about to change into a new set of clothes in an instant. The snow fell on the streets, on the plaques, on the stalls, on the heads of the noisy crowds, and all the sounds changed in an instant. People who were still busy trading, selling, shouting or talking one second felt a biting chill the next second. The sun sets and the snow sets in the sky, the heavens and the earth are visionary, and everyone perceives and agrees with this matter in an instant. Although no one shouted, the fear quickly crept out, and the cats and dogs were the first to feel it.

All things are animistic, and when it comes to the perception of heaven and earth, other creatures are far superior to human beings. So at the first moment of the summer sunset, the cat climbed onto the roof beam and the dog began to bark wildly, as if they were facing their own apocalypse. And in the second instant, the humans began to have their reactions. Panic and fear spread among the people, and all those who were still on the street immediately abandoned what they were doing and hurried into the houses. The cold brought by the snowfall was in stark contrast to the heat brought by the rushing crowd, and everything in Wei Xicheng's field of vision seemed to be a mess in an instant.

In this messy porridge, the only calm thing is the crowd queuing up under the plaque of "Jinjia Qianzhuang". Everyone in the queue seemed to have something to do, and people tended to be very cautious when talking about money, so there was no panic in the queue because of the sunset and snow, only that there was no increase in numbers.

Nine and a half were gently helped up by Wei Xicheng, and he looked at the latter's eyes and found that they were full of solemnity.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

"White sunset snow, not normal. It's autumn at this time, but judging by the magnitude and frequency of this snowflake, I am afraid that such a heavy snow can only fall on a cold day. "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon," and I'm afraid that the country of the evil will also be in trouble. ”

Wei Xicheng's judgment was not wrong, but at this moment they had to do something more important, that is, find an inn and settle down temporarily, and then make other decisions.

In the inn, Jiu Ban took a sip of the wine that Xiao Er had just warmed into the room, and then put on the newly bought fox fur again and prepared to go out. In fact, the climate of the country is warm all year round, and it doesn't get cold even in winter. If it weren't for the fact that the monarch of Pu Jiao gave a lot of money before leaving, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to buy a fox fur to wear at this time. It's just that it seems that the people of the country of the fox have been prepared for a long time, and the fox fur that should not have been ready to be sold in this season is actually available in many stores at this time, which makes the three of them quite happy.

The fox fur was draped on the body, the warm wine went down to the stomach, and the warm current poured up from the stomach from the bottom up, and then the warm encounter brought by the fox fur went down again, reaching the soles of the feet of the nine and a half, so as to complete a weekly rotation. Although the temperature outside was much lower at the beginning of the snow, he could still feel that his body was very warm.

On the side, Wei Xicheng hurriedly took a sip of warm wine after seeing Jiu Ban's behavior of putting on a fox fur, and grabbed Jiu Ban's arm: "Jiu Ban, you just put on your clothes and want to go out when you just rested?"

"I'll go find the golden bead again," Jiu Ban said, "At least I have to talk to him to find out what's going on, after all, it's a matter related to the country of Pujiao, and I can't just be rejected like this." ”

Nine and a half are a little serious, and his seriousness is unreservedly and unscrupulously manifested from his expression to his body. His earnestness is not gratuitous or gratuitous, but comes from his experience and the redemption of his own heart. As a deceased prince who has been destroyed in a country and has a deep hatred with some people in this world, deep down in his heart, he really can't bear to see another country destroyed after being conspired by others.

Wei Xicheng could probably guess what Nine Half was thinking, but he still insisted on pulling Nine Half back.

"Do you think, think about it carefully, what did the Laocheng people who stopped us on the street just now?" Wei Xicheng forcibly let Jiu Ban sit down, and at this time Ba Yu ran a hot bath in another room, and the woman's graceful body shook slightly in the steaming mist, but unfortunately these two rough men couldn't see it.

Legend has it that there is a kind of suckling sheep, cut two catties of mutton and put it in the pot without adding water, you can cook it into a pot of good dishes. Wei Xicheng and Eight Feathers don't get along for many days, but if there is such a sheep, Wei Xicheng believes that Eight Feathers should be counted as one.

Despite thinking about it like this, Wei Xicheng didn't dare to think about it often, so at this moment he shook his head and continued to Jiu Ban: "Half a year ago, a meteorite fell into the territory of the Fox Country, although the location is unknown, but since then, the seasonal climate of Laocheng has begun to be disordered. Although the development of commerce and trade in Laocheng is far greater than the income from agriculture, the agriculture of Laocheng will definitely be affected if it continues like this. The farmland is deserted, and no country or city can afford it, so I think Jin Zhuzi may have been worrying about this recently, so you must be in a hurry. ”

"But what if he wasn't here for this?" Jiu Ban said, "You think, if a person sees an old friend's token, he will definitely have some nostalgia and then other thoughts will appear, right? Since Yu Buzi can give me the token and let me hand it over to Jin Zhuzi on his behalf, then they must know each other, and they can't meet for some reason." Do you remember that the last time the Five Nations met, the representative of the country of Puluo was the prince Wan Duming, and the country of the fox was visited by Jin Zhuzi? But what do you think, the golden beads did not appear any abnormalities during the meeting of the Five Kingdoms, why did they not want to see me when they saw the token of Yubuzi at this time, so they drove me away? ”

Jiu Ban looked at Wei Xicheng's eyes and finished saying this, the snow outside the window had completely fallen, and the eight feathers had already taken a bath, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
