Chapter 60: The Town Called Scales
Jiang Wang walked out of the deep alley under Mrs. Rao's warm farewell.
His face was tired.
The sword god and the sword bearer waited at the entrance of the alley for a long time.
"Yanshan-kun is very weird."
Cheng Yan looked at the graceful figure and returned home, sighed, looked at Jiang Wang and said, "You are also very problematic." β
Jiang Wang reluctantly talked about what happened before.
Cheng Yan was shocked: "There is actually a demon like Yanshan Jun in the world?" β
The sword god frowned and said: "Evil words should not be believed, even if the status of Yanshan Jun is special, but at the same time, the conditions must be strictly guarded, not to mention that mortals are involved, we need to stay here for the time being and stare at him." β
This is none of Jiang Wang's business, he asked: "Regarding the temporary order of the Qingxuan Administration, do the two seniors plan to go?" β
Cheng Yan spread his hands and said, "People didn't invite me again." β
The sword god said: "Although I am in the position of the secretary of the Qingxuan Administration, I am not a person from the Qingxuan Administration, there are monsters that they can't solve and ask me for help, and the rest of the things will be settled, no matter what background the little guy who temporarily executes the order, do you dare to have any objections to me?" β
Jiang Wang asked again: "Then is this person who temporarily executes the order the illegitimate son of Chu Chunqiu?" β
Cheng Yan looked strange.
The sword god also raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Wang was puzzled: "What's the problem?" A young man appeared out of nowhere, it is said that he has just embarked on the path of cultivation, and there is something more to explain than Chu Chunqiu's illegitimate son? β
Cheng Yan said: "There's nothing wrong with you thinking so, as soon as you remind me, I'm also a little curious, but it depends on how old the temporary executive order is, if it's too young, it's impossible to be Chu Chunqiu's illegitimate son." β
Jiang Wang asked, "Why?" β
Cheng Yan said with a smile: "Because Chu Chunqiu was injured and incapacitated, but he may not have no illegitimate children when he is normal, but if he really has, how can there be no rumors at all over the years?" β
"I even suspect that Chu Chunqiu deliberately made this play, pretending that he had an illegitimate child, and he would not admit that he had a problem, and there is nothing better than giving birth to a son after being injured to break the so-called rumors."
"Although there are no rumors, after all, except for me in Mantang Mountain, the big people can't chew the root of their tongues, and who dares to criticize Chu Chunqiu from the little people? No one said it, so naturally there were many people who didn't know about it, and he was nothing more than depressed in his heart. β
"The truth belongs to the former or the latter, it depends on the specific age of the temporary order."
Jiang Wang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect it, no wonder Chu Chunqiu's face was feminine and white.
The sword god said: "Don't speculate, just say that Chu Chunqiu is not the happiest, how do you humiliate him in front of him It doesn't matter, just spread it around, what if he is very good?" β
Cheng Yan sneered: "Do you believe what you said, although I don't have actual evidence, I just think so, and I firmly believe that he can't do it, which normal man is like him, oh, I didn't say you, you are just pure fiction." β
He patted Jiang Wang's shoulder and explained.
Jiang Wang's face darkened suddenly.
"Farewell!"
Cheng Yan didn't stop him, but looked at the sword god and asked, "What do you mean by guessing Hebo's secret?" β
The sword god said: "There are many Hebos in the world, but if it is the same as Aoyin's talent, it is very strange, Jiang Wang has only two Hebo, I am very sure that the one killed is the third Hebo, there is nothing to doubt about his knowledge of Jiang Wang, it is because there are relatively few records of Hebo in the thousands of ancient scrolls, I believe that Hebo is actually only one, but there are many shells." β
Cheng Yan said: "It doesn't matter, no matter how many shells there are, it will eventually be a waste wood to kill with a sword." β
The sword god said: "After fighting with Yanshan Jun, what do you think?" β
Cheng Yan smashed his mouth and said, "The strongest monster I've fought so far." β
The sword god nodded and said, "And I can be sure that if he really wants to kill us, it will be easy." β
Cheng Yan said: "After all, he is the son of Mozhang, I am afraid that there is a way to keep the rules of the painting pavilion, and only the mountain master can win him." β
There are only mountain owners in Mantang Mountain, and there are many people in the world who can win the Yanshan Jun, but there are not many.
Such a monster stays in Kutan, staying in a mansion in Jicheng, even if he is very honest for the time being, it is a very headache, but fortunately, Cheng Yan is a cicada person, and he is not as headache as the sword god.
......
Xie Wuxing was very confused.
He just woke up.
Su Changluo broke through.
Then Jiang Wang said that the problem of the monster had been solved and he was ready to go.
So when he was sleeping, what was Jiang Wang doing behind his back?
What frightened him the most was that the teacher came to Jicheng.
Jiang Wang didn't answer Xie Wuxing's many questions, Yao Guanhai drove the carriage, Xiaoyu and the three girls got into the carriage, Su Changluo sat on the wheel, Jiang Wang lay on the side of the window, waved at Xie Wuxing, and walked away.
The teacher is in Jicheng, so there is no need for Xie Wuxing to follow Jiang Wang to the Qingxuan Department for a banquet, he has to keep an eye on the sword god of Yanshan Jun, and by the way, there is something to do, that is, to personally urge Xie Wuxing to practice.
Before Jiang Wang left, Xie Wuxing patted his chest very arrogantly, saying that the next time they met, it would be two baths.
Leaving Jicheng, Jiang Wang is really empty.
He sat down in the carriage, fortunately he had prepared some talismans in advance, and there were still a lot of nectar runes he had bought in the Treasure Pavilion of Elephant City that had not been used up.
There was a sword god and a sword bearer in Jicheng, and Jiang Wang didn't care about the old woman's affairs anymore.
Ah Kong's food does not leave her hand, Ru Yanqing is chattering non-stop, but it will not make people feel bored, cute, although Xiaoyu is a martial artist, but her practice is not only about practicing her fists and feet, she has always been like this, no matter what the surrounding environment is, she can do it without distractions.
Jiang Wang was half-lying down, smiling and enjoying the scenery in the carriage.
A few days later, they arrived in a small town.
It's called Scaly Town.
It is a mountain town about 40 miles south of the first city that has stepped out of Jiuxian County and has entered Shuhe County.
According to Jiang Wang's meaning, Qingxuan in a straight line, every time he passes through a city or a town, the purpose is, of course, to subdue demons and eliminate demons, if you want to go to the banquet, you can't just go to the banquet, compared to this, going to the banquet has become a byway, how can you take the opportunity to go all the way to the demons and eliminate demons to absorb nutrients.
The Qingxuan Department is also in Shangyang County, which is naturally far away from Jiuxian County and Shuhe County.
Being late is inevitable, what Jiang Wang can do is not to be too late, that's enough.
After leaving Jicheng, he did not encounter any monsters, and Jiang Wang would not deliberately delay, when it was Su Changluo's cultivation, he let him pull the carriage with the power of the dragon, so that he could arrive in Shuhe County in a few days.
Yao Guanhai slowed down the speed of the car and followed the people and caravan in front of him into the town in an orderly manner.
Except for Yao Guanhai and Akong, who once followed the town demon envoy to talk about the sixth child, the rest are coming to Shuhe County for the first time, because the territory of the Sui State is vast, and one realm is a day, and those who are similar to each county will also have completely different customs.
But after all, the two counties are adjacent to each other, and the difference is not too big, but it is obvious that Shuhe County is wetter and colder than Jiuxian County.
That's a very remarkable feeling.
At the time of Shen, the people in front of Youlan Town came and went, looking extremely prosperous.
There is a city gate in the town, and there are even city walls, but it does not surround the whole town, it is just a faΓ§ade, and the faΓ§ade is comparable to a city, and the other three sides are only surrounded by fences, which is also quite strange.
The origin of the name of Shuhe County is that there is a river running through the whole county, and there are side branches that cover all the towns.
Jiang Wang naturally thought of Hebo.
Sohe-gun is obviously the best habitat for youkai like Hebo.
Su Changluo was looking at Youlu Town, turned his head and whispered to Yao Guanhai: "The people guarding the town are all third-realm martial artists, I'm afraid it's very dangerous here." β
Yao Guanhai glanced at the town guards with resolute faces standing on both sides of the town, wearing simple armor, hanging knives around their waists, holding spears in their hands, and then looked at the figures standing at the head of the city, and said: "Although the temperament is very similar, it is not a military person, it should be a recruited martial artist from the rivers and lakes, and he has had quite strict training." β
"A small town, there is a peak martial artist of the four realms standing at the head of the city, that is the scale of the county town, I want to come here and often encounter monster attacks, but I look thriving, it is true that there is danger, and it is also true that it is very safe."
Jiang Wang and his entourage, there is no martial artist below the fourth realm, there is no monk below the peak of the cave underworld, Ru Yanqing is not a monk, so it is not noticeable, even if it is a martial artist at the peak of the fourth realm, it is difficult to break through it at a glance like a monk.
Not long after Yao Guanhai's words fell, when he was about to drive into the town, a figure suddenly appeared on the side.
It was rubbing Su Changluo and jumping out, so he smelled a trace of strange fragrance, but before he could react, he saw that some of the martial artists guarding the town were urging the people to enter the town, and some had already made a move, and in just one round, two third-realm martial artists died.
Su Changluo was stunned and said, "Where is this safe?" β
Yao Guanhai squinted his eyes, and said that it was not a monster that created danger, but a monk, and the figure that jumped out had a clear goal, directly attacking the peak martial artist of the fourth realm on the head of the city, and because the town guard reacted quickly and intercepted it in time, he smashed two martial artists to death with a mace.
That's right, mace.
It is in the shape of a long weapon, the head is like a jujube core, and the plant iron is nailed to it, the shape is like a wolf's tooth, the grip is like steel, showing two colors, the tail is black, the middle is bright silver, about five feet long, and the figure that jumps out is as tall as that, and it is undoubtedly a heavy weapon with extremely high lethality.
"It's a girl."
Jiang Wang was lying on the edge of the window, tilting his head to look, and Ru Yanqing's head was squeezed next to him.
The girl was dressed in black, with a red hairband fluttering in the wind with green silk, she easily swept up the city wall, holding a stick in both hands, shouting, and smashing down according to the peak martial arts of the fourth realm at the head of the city.
Loud bang.
The city wall was directly cracked, the city head was shattered, and the smoke was filled with the figure of the martial artists of the four realms.
But the next moment the girl rose into the air, went straight into the mountains and forests, and disappeared.
If you don't succeed in a single blow, you don't hesitate to leave.
"It's a cave monk who is about to break through the peak of the realm."
Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and knocked on the car board, and Yao Guanhai whipped into the town.
The town guards calmly cleaned up the mess, and did not even appease the people, and the onlookers did not react in any special way, seeing what to do when the matter was over, and the town of scales was thriving again.
Su Changluo felt more and more weird.
But seeing that Yao Guanhai next to him and the teacher in the carriage didn't say anything, he couldn't help but ask.
The first thing you do when you enter the town is naturally to find an inn to settle in.
The town looks prosperous, but in fact, the road on the street is narrow, the carriage is almost full, the people have to avoid, whether it is a house or a paving stone slab is very historical, the shops on both sides are stacked, the bamboo poles interact all over, the street is full of wetness, and children are running around with windmills.
There is no place that does not amaze Ru Yanqing.
The carriage was moving slowly, and Jiang Wang was also looking at it carefully.
There is a wine shop next to it, but the wine shop is on the second floor, the grocery store below, the third floor is a tea shop, the fourth and fifth floors seem to be inhabited by ordinary people, there are bamboo poles to dry clothes, and there is also a big yellow dog pouting on the fourth floor, which has not done a good job.
On the slope, a man in a coarse linen coat carrying a wooden stick shouted, and the yellow dog was so frightened that he disappeared directly.
Walking through this street, the view becomes a little wider, there is a river in front of you, there is no bridge, only a road along the river, houses and shops enclose the river on three sides, and there seems to be another scenery along the river farther away.
Some people died, but not completely......
