Caged Silkworm Extermination Chapter 107 It's hard to climb to the sky, so I'll go to the sky to see
Yingshui Town stands in a basin, because it is close to the capital, it is also a prosperous place, there are many merchants, although the place is not big, but every family has a little money.
Li Mengzhou entered the town in Shenshi, first found a small wine shop to inquire about Pei Ruyu's whereabouts, even if Yingshui Town is not large, but it is still very easy to live in 10,000 people, this is not counting outsiders, there are more than 100,000 people in the entire Yingshui Town.
I believe that according to Pei Ruyu's reputation, it should be very easy to inquire in Yingshui Town, but asking directly on the street is obviously far from getting all the information you want in the process of drinking.
Of course, choosing to be in a wine shop is partly the reason why Li Mengzhou wants to drink.
Yingshui Town is still quite famous for making wine, and many merchants also started with winemaking.
The wine shop is in a remote area, and there are naturally not many customers, except for the shopkeeper and the two runners, there are only five or six drinkers.
Li Mengzhou casually asked for a few side dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and began to pour himself a drink.
After he was too addicted to alcohol, he beckoned to call the runners.
The one who ran the hall was a young man, who looked younger than Li Mengzhou's age, and his eyes were bright, but he was quite clever.
"Guest, what do you want?"
Li Mengzhou sat on the wooden bench, glanced at the running hall, and said, "I'll ask you about someone." ”
"Then you're asking the right person, there's nothing I don't know about in this Yingshui Town. Widow Liu from the grocery store next door hooked up with the blacksmith Wang on East Street, and I bumped into it several times during the tryst every night, and once I couldn't help but go to the window. ”
Li Mengzhou looked at the chattering trotting hall in astonishment, quite speechless.
Although this gossip was indeed very interesting, he really didn't want to continue listening, waved his hand, and said: "You don't need to tell me about these things, you can slowly reminisce in the bed at night." ”
Trotting Tang smiled and said, "Then what do you want to ask?" In fact, in addition to the matter of Widow Liu and Blacksmith Wang, I also know that our county magistrate and the old wretched wife of Zhang Yuanwai's family on Nanjie have a private affair, and it is said that he made a private agreement for life when he was young, but at that time, the county magistrate had not yet become an official, and now the two of them are also rekindling the old relationship, and they secretly communicate behind their backs. ”
Li Mengzhou: "......"
"And, there'......"
The more Li Mengzhou listened, the darker his face became, although he couldn't bear to interrupt the enthusiasm of this trot, but if it was delayed like this, I am afraid that the night would pass like this.
He tried to calm down, and said lightly: "The person I want to ask you about is Pei Ruyu." ”
was talking endlessly, and when he heard Pei Ruyu's name, he seemed to be choked by the throat, and looked at Li Mengzhou in a daze.
"You...... Want to inquire about Pei Ruyu?"
Trotting Hall was a little flustered, staring at Li Mengzhou nervously, and even lowered his voice subconsciously.
Looking at the appearance of Trotting Hall, Li Mengzhou can also roughly know that Pei Ruyu does have an extraordinary status in Yingshui Town, Trotting Hall even dares to talk nonsense about the gossip of the county order, and he is definitely not the first person to hear these things from his mouth, but when it comes to Pei Ruyu, Trotting Hall suddenly changed as a person and became secretive.
But if it was a different person from Yingshui Town, after hearing Pei Ruyu's name, he would definitely keep silent, although the trotting hall had some scruples, he still asked in a curious whisper: "I don't know what the guest officer is doing when he asks Pei Ruyu?"
Li Mengzhou glanced at him and said lightly: "Kill him." ”
Trotting Tang's eyes widened, he looked at Li Mengzhou incredulously, and said with a sneer: "Guest officer, this joke can't be made." ”
Li Mengzhou said: "I have never liked jokes. ”
Trotting Hall has also seen a lot of people, although he is young, but he is very good at reading people, he relies on his many years of experience, depressed to find that the other party really does not seem to be joking.
He scratched his head, glanced at Li Mengzhou a few more times, and said bitterly: "Guest officer, looking at your posture, I also know that you are not from our Yingshui Town, but that Pei Ruyu can't even afford to offend the county magistrate, and no one dares to kill him, it is said that Pei Ruyu is an immortal, with the magic power of heaven and earth, he is old, if you say something unpleasant, don't go to death." ”
Heaven to earth?
Li Mengzhou was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted, this trotting hall is just an ordinary person, even if Yingshui Town is not far from the capital, but he has never really seen a cultivator, ordinary people will indeed respect monks very much, so they almost bow and worship.
But that Pei Ruyu is only a monk who promises to the upper realm, even if he is a big thing who has entered the five realms, he does not dare to say that he is in heaven and earth, he is omnipotent, he is purely deified in the eyes of ordinary people.
The monks of the realm of Cheng Realm can use their mental power to retrieve things in the air, such an ordinary means, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed a fairy-like figure.
"You just need to tell me where Pei Ruyu is. ”
Trotting Hall said everything that should be said, since people didn't listen to persuasion, he didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he casually pointed to the outside of the wine shop and said: "From here, through the market, it is Pei Shangxian's mansion, he is basically in the mansion and rarely goes out." ”
"Thank you. ”
Li Mengzhou no longer gave Trotting Hall a chance to talk, put down a piece of broken silver, and walked straight out of the wine shop.
Not many people in the wine shop paid attention to Li Mengzhou.
They were also indifferent to the conversation between the trotting hall and Li Mengzhou.
This is not the custom in Yingshui Town, but they all know the temperament of the trot, and they must be talking to others about what they don't have, and they really don't bother to listen.
......
Pei's Mansion is very large, and it should be the most spacious mansion in the entire Yingshui Town.
Walking through the streets and alleys, standing in front of the Pei Mansion, Li Mengzhou held the Wuqing Sword in his hand, and the Drunken Dream Sword wrapped in black cloth behind him, closed his eyes, and slowly adjusted his breathing.
The stumbling sounds in his ears grew quieter.
The whole world seemed to fall silent.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
A strong murderous aura enveloped the entire mansion.
Not for a moment.
There was some noise in Pei's mansion.
In Li Mengzhou's sight, the door of the mansion was slowly opened from the inside.
What appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man.
Dressed in a long shirt, his complexion is fair, and he is quite sanctimonious.
Pei Ruyu, as her name suggests, her skin is as white as jade, and she is afraid that even girls will be jealous.
Although Li Mengzhou is not a girl, he is very jealous.
Our complexion is not natural, but tanned, and when I was a child, I was also white.
From a short distance, Pei Ruyu put his hands behind his back and looked at the black-clothed young man standing on the street in front of the mansion, the killing intent that seemed to be like a substance was clearly seen in his eyes, he closed his eyes slightly, and the moment he opened them again, he also burst out with a completely different momentum from before.
Pei Ruyu frowned, looked at Li Mengzhou curiously, and said softly: "It's been a long time since such a young Chengyi cultivator has appeared in Yingshui Town. ”
It was already sunset in Yingshui Town.
Different from the prosperity of the capital, at this hour, the streets of Yingshui Town have rarely seen pedestrians, especially in the street where Pei Mansion is located, there will be no people in the first place, so it seems quieter.
Li Mengzhou's expression was calm, even though he was still a little nervous in his heart.
With a soft roar, he stared at Pei Ruyu and drew his sword out of the sheath without any words.
The black green sword is dark green all over, exuding a dull emerald luster.
"Nice sword. ”
Pei Ruyu actually praised and said: "Maybe this sword was not originally of this color, but it was soaked in too much blood, and it became this color, seeing that you are young, but you are a bloodthirsty person, no wonder there is such a strong murderous aura." ”
Li Mengzhou raised his eyebrows and said: "I use this sword, but I am not its owner, it has nothing to do with me how much blood it has been soaked in, but there is a saying, you are not wrong, I have indeed killed many people, but I am not a bloodthirsty person." ”
"Because I only kill the damned. ”
Pei Ruyu seemed to be a little surprised, frowned slightly, and said softly: "In the life of the world, no one is worthy of death, only Dao genius has the right to deprive a person of life." ”
Li Mengzhou said: "In my opinion, you are the damned person, and this is enough." ”
Pei Ruyu had to ask curiously: "In my impression, I don't recognize you, and I can't have any grudges when I think about it, why do you want to kill me?"
Li Mengzhou thought about it for a while, but soon said: "You are really not guilty of death when you do things in Yingshui Town, after all, you are just here to be a prestige, to be a soil emperor in peace, to enjoy the money in the rich merchants of Yingshui Town, and you can wave any woman you want." ”
"But in the eyes of the so-called vindicators, that's already the reason they want to kill you. And the reason why I want to kill you is even simpler, you are just a springboard for me, as long as I cross the border and kill you, I can become stronger. In other words, killing you is just my practice. ”
Pei Ruyu narrowed her eyes and said, "Killing people because of cultivation and killing people because of becoming stronger is a very interesting reason." But you have chosen the wrong target, and I can see that your cultivation is only in the lower realm of Chengyi, and maybe you are already very close to the upper realm, but what I want to tell you is that I am infinitely close to the peak of Chengyi. If I want to kill you, it will be as easy as crushing an ant, but if you want to kill me, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky. ”
Li Mengzhou held the sword across his chest and said, "Then I'll go up to the sky to take a look." ”
Pei Ruyu was silent.
When he noticed the killing intent outside the mansion, he didn't take it seriously, especially after seeing the young man outside the mansion, but at this moment, he was really a little angry.
True.
Pei Ruyu was powerful in Yingshui Town, and he did not do anything hurtful, but this is also relatively speaking, after all, there are many things that cannot be known by outsiders.
He loved money.
I love sex, too.
The identity of the immortal can allow him to snatch food from those rich merchants at will, and it can also guarantee that there will be no trouble.
But for those young girls, he really didn't force anything, at least he knew it, because he was in Yingshui Town, and there was Xuanzheng Si as a backer behind him, some small things could be suppressed, but if he did it too much, Xuanzheng Si couldn't keep him.
After all, the person he knew was not Xu Hexian, but just a person with a little power in the Xuanzheng Division.
is also because of the identity of the immortal, and he also includes a lot of money, whether it is for wealth, or those girls who want to get close to the immortals, or even want to become cultivators, some of them take the initiative to find them.
He was just seducing him a little.
He doesn't care about those things.
But now, there is another young monk in Yingshui Town.
Pei Ruyu had some ideas in her heart.
Even if it was just a nonsense, he was afraid that the boy would know his secret.
Since the boy came to kill him, no matter how unbelievable the reason was, it was logical for him to kill the boy.
