Chapter 9: The Grave and the Dead
After a while, the three of them came to the city gate, and as soon as the three of them approached the dilapidated city gate, they felt a quaint and bloody aura coming towards them, feeling the strange atmosphere, Lin Qing frowned uncomfortably.
Outside the city gate, there are also many people who want to enter the tomb and death place, the number is not much, but it is not small, Lin Qing walked forward, while looking around, he found that the strength of these people has actually entered the Four Spirits Realm, and some have even reached the late stage of the Soul Realm.
At the gate of the city, there were several guards guarding it, the guards were dressed in armor made of dark iron, each holding a wide long knife in their hands, and their cold faces naturally revealed a murderous aura, and at a glance they knew that these guards were veterans of the battlefield.
I saw Yang Gong walk up to the middle-aged man who looked like a leader and was holding a big knife, and he didn't know what to give to that person in his hand, and then turned his head and pointed at Lin Qing and Lin Wei, the middle-aged man just nodded lightly and shouted 'let go'.
Lin Qing and Lin Wei saw that Yang Gong was waving, so they walked in the direction where Yang Gong was, and then the three of them walked towards the city. On the way, Lin Qing asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what did you give them just now?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a spirit stone. Yang Gong explained with a smile. "Everyone who enters here must hand over ten lower-grade spirit stones, otherwise they won't be able to enter. ”
Lin Qing suddenly realized, no wonder Yang Gong gave that person something.
Spirit stones are the common currency here, according to the degree of essence, they can be divided into low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones and purple gold spirit stones, a purple gold spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred high-grade spirit stones, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred lower-grade spirit stones, spirit stones can not only exchange items, but also help people cultivate.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. I saw Yang Gong take out a small and delicate bone whistle from his arms and hand it to Lin Qing. "This one is for you. ”
"What is this?" Lin Qing asked curiously, playing with the delicate bone whistle in his hand.
"If there is any danger in the future, you can blow it and it can save your life. Yang Gong said.
Lin Qing carefully looked at the bone whistle that Lin Qing gave him, but he didn't find anything abnormal, just like an ordinary whistle.
"Now that I've arrived, it's time for me to go, take care. Yang Gong sighed.
"Brother Yang is leaving, won't you come with us?" asked Lin Wei.
"Yes, we can take care of each other together, why should Brother Yang leave?" Lin Qing also said strangely.
"Hehe, you kid, this tomb is too big, don't look like a city, in fact, it is an independent space, and the city gate is only its entrance. Besides, I have important things to do, and I can't walk with you. Yang Gong explained.
"Then Brother Yang, be careful. Lin Qing hugged his fists.
I saw that Yang Gong also hugged his fists and said: "There will be a period later." ”
"There will be a period later. ”
Saying goodbye to Yang Gong, the two walked towards the city. In the city, there is a prosperous city, the streets are full of people, the brilliant sunlight is sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, and the brightly colored pavilion cornices, presenting a lively scene.
On the street, there were all kinds of passers-by, there were fat people with evil faces, scantily clad beautiful women, and cold teenagers, everyone looked so strange.
"It's hilarious. Lin Qing looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.
"It's quite lively, but it's also dangerous. Lin Wei said calmly.
Lin Qing smiled but stopped talking, and the two walked slowly on the noisy street, and two or three dull-headed sparrows couldn't help but nap among the trance-like ancient trees beside the street. The remnant clouds swept up the smoke and dust outside the city. The plump girl with a coquettish smile on her face half-leaning against the door of the brothel, and a seductive smile on her delicate face that had not yet faded from the smell of alcohol. I listened to the teasing of the drinkers in the wine shop, and the vulgar singing of the low-class singers sitting on the seats.
The gamblers in the gambling house were arguing with red faces, and in the alley on the side of the street, there was the sound of swords colliding with metal, and then Lin Qing saw that blood was splashed everywhere, and the knife flashed, and the person's head fell to the ground, and the blood was like a fountain, sprinkled on the ground, but the murderer showed a hideous smile, as if killing was a pleasant thing. And on the street, men, women, and children, they didn't react to this scene, and everyone did their own thing, as if they were used to life here.
"It's dangerous. Lin Qing only walked a distance of fifty zhang before agreeing with Lin Xiao's statement.
It's really chaotic here, here, as long as you have the strength, then you will be high, and no one cares about killing people and setting fires, but if you don't have the strength, then you only have the share of being slaughtered. The unwritten rule of the grave is that the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected.
"Let's find a place to live first. Lin Qing said to Lin Wei.
Lin Qing and the others walked forward slowly and stopped in front of an inn. It's a nice inn, and the plaque has a few large gilded characters that shine in the sunlight. The two walked towards the store, the decoration of the store is not brilliant, the antique decoration is refreshing, the birds and animals tattooed on the big pillar in the center are lifelike, and the guys in the store are busy with a smile.
As soon as he walked in, the guy ran over enthusiastically. "Yo, two masters, are you staying in a hotel or eating? ”
"We stayed at the hotel. Lin Qing said calmly.
"Okay, come with me. The guy shouted with a laugh.
Lin Qing looked around, the business of this inn is good, the store is crowded with people, the first floor is a place for guests to eat, at this time it is also full of people, all kinds of people are there, some drink and chat, some eat at the door, and some are talking about the big and small things that happen here.
Lin Qing and the others followed the guy in the store upstairs, and after turning a few corners, the little two said with a smile: "Guest officer, here's it, this is what you want for two rooms." ”
"Alright, let's go. Lin Wei handed the guy some spirit stones. When the guy saw it, he turned beautiful and smiled and retreated.
Lin Qing's room was on the left side of the corridor, and Lin Xiao's room was just opposite Lin Qing. Lin Qing pushed open the door and walked in, cleaned up briefly, and lay down on the bed. The man only said that he could find clues about his father here, but the tomb was so big, where should I find it?" The boy thought with a frown in his heart. 50
"Forget it, I don't want to, let's familiarize myself with the environment tomorrow. Lin Qing sat up and shook his head, after a day's journey, Lin Qing was also a little tired, so he fell asleep.
The next day, the sun shone on the young man's face through the window, the morning sun was not too hot, Lin Qing was awakened by the sun, the young man stretched out his hand to block his face, stretched his waist, and opened his sleepy eyes. After freshening up, Lin Qing and Lin Wei went downstairs.
The two of them found a place with a better line of sight by the corner and sat down, ordered a few side dishes, and ordered a pot of wine.
"Did you know? In three days, the Treasure Sect will hold an auction. There were several middle-aged men sitting not far from Lin Qing, hearing this, Lin Qing looked at the middle-aged man, who was strong and rough.
"Isn't there just an auction, isn't there a Pin Pavilion? A black-faced man beside the middle-aged man poured a glass of wine and said absently.
"You know what, this time is different. The middle-aged man took a sip of his glass, but smiled.
"What else is the same, it's all those broken things every time, what is there to say. The black-faced man didn't have a good breath.
A slightly younger young man opposite the middle-aged man also echoed: "Yes, it's possible that there are some good things this time." ”
The middle-aged man put down his wine glass: "You're really right, there are good things this time, and there are more than one." ”
The rest of the old man, who had not spoken, asked calmly, "What is it, tell me about it." ”
At this time, I saw the middle-aged man slugging and slurring his speech.
"Okay, okay, I'll please, okay, quick, let's listen. The black-faced man said anxiously.
After hearing the black-faced man say that he had a treat, the middle-aged man laughed: "Okay, then I'll tell you, do you know the Xianzhi Quenching Soul Pill?"
When the old man heard the middle-aged man say the Xianzhi Quenching Soul Pill, his originally cloudy eyes lit up. "Xianzhi Quenching Soul Pill? That's a four-grade pill. ”
On this continent, there is also a profession, that is, alchemist, although the strength of the alchemist is not very high, but it is the most respected profession, every cultivator's cultivation is inseparable from the elixir, if you want to get the elixir you need, then you have to rely on the alchemist, so, generally few people to offend the alchemist, on the contrary, there are more people to flatter those alchemists.
Of course, alchemists are also good and bad, according to the quality of refining pills, the pills are divided into nine grades, so the alchemists are also divided into nine grades, and the alchemists who can refine the pills are called the first-grade alchemists, and so on, the one who can refine the nine-grade pills is the nine-grade alchemist, but in the vast continent, it is very difficult to find a nine-grade alchemist.
"In addition, there are many immortal herb elixirs, such as the four-leaf spirit herb, Tianxuan purple bamboo flower, silver vine lotus, Jiuyang fruit, thousand-year-old blood lingzhi, and many immortal herb elixirs. The middle-aged man said a lot, and the old man's eyes brightened more and more when he heard it, and when he saw the old man's appearance, the middle-aged man continued: "Old Wen, how is it? ”
"Yes, there are so many precious herbs, how can I not go. The old man sighed.
And Lin Qing on the side also had a calm face when he heard the middle-aged man say a lot of herbs earlier, but when he heard the Jiuyang Fruit, his expression was different. "Looks like I'm going to have to go to this auction too. Lin Qing said to Lin Wei.
"What, do you need that Immortal Zhi Quenching Soul Pill?" Lin Wei wondered.
"No, I don't need that. Lin Qing smiled mysteriously.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Wei was even more puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Qing's gourd.
"I want that Jiuyang Fruit, he is useful for the Jiuyang Fist I cultivated. Lin Qing explained.
The reason why Lin Qing wanted to go to the auction was the Jiuyang Fruit, which Jiuyang Fruit was of great use to Lin Qing's cultivation of the Jiuyang Fist breakthrough, and Lin Qing had been in the power of the Three Yangs for a long time, so he had to get that Jiuyang Fruit this time, and then break through to the power of the Four Yangs.
I saw the black-faced man on the side say again: "Then what else?"
The middle-aged man pretended to smile mysteriously, "It is said that there is another magic trick, and I don't know what level it is, but it shouldn't be too low." ”
The black-faced man said anxiously again: "Do you have any weapons?"
"Hehe, I don't know about this. The middle-aged man smiled. "If you don't go and see it in three days, you might be able to buy something if you're lucky." The middle-aged man suggested
The four of them continued to talk about the topic they had just talked about. At this time, the man came up with food and wine. "The guest officer is slow to use, if there is anything to tell the small one, the small one is on call. With that, he walked to another table.
Lin Qing smiled at the guy and nodded, but did not speak, the two of them just drank wine and ate food quietly, listening to the people in the restaurant talking about various things that had happened recently.
"We'll go out for a walk in a minute, and I'll be getting acquainted with it, and I'm just going to buy a few things I need. Lin Qing said to Lin Wei.
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Wei just nodded and did not speak.
After the meal, the two of them inquired about the shopkeeper and walked out of the inn, and the shopkeeper told Lin Qing that there was a fang market not far to the west of the inn, where there was everything, so they could go there to see.
The two of them walked on the road, looking at the streets and alleys, those in tattered clothes called Huazi, Lin Qing felt a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking that back then, he was not bullied and reduced to a beggar, which made him understand that if you want others to look up to you, then you have to have the ability, if you have a good family background, then needless to say, but if you don't, then you can only strengthen yourself, so that you can get the respect of others, no matter whether they are sincere or flattering, at least they dare not bully you.
People always have to grow up, they have experienced so much, and the boy is also growing up step by step, he is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, the world is hot and cold, fortunately, he still has a good brother to accompany him, it is better than wandering the world alone. Thinking like this, Lin Qing couldn't help but look at Lin Wei.
Seeing Lin Qing's strange gaze, Lin Xiao wondered, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qing laughed and said, "It's okay." As he spoke, he patted Lin Wei on the shoulder and walked straight forward, leaving a dazed Lin Wei at a loss.
The two of them walked and watched, and they encountered a lot of new things along the way. After a while, I came to the market that the guy said.
