Volume 3 Chapter 17 [Wuguo Zhoucheng]
Volume 3, Chapter 17 [Wuguo Zhoucheng]
Liu Yun felt that these disciples of the top sects had a very high self-esteem in their hearts, and they looked down on the disciples outside the four major sects at all. In fact, both Xian Gu and Fu Yunzi understand this, but due to the face of her three fellow brothers and sisters, they did not designate one person to be in charge, which made the situation difficult to control and easy to do their own thing.
"Senior Brother Wang, you have been in contact with the people of the Shadow Society, and you have been on a mission in the Zhou Kingdom before, so you are more familiar with the situation than all of us here, what do you think?" Liu Yun had to come forward to take control.
Wang Rui glanced at Liu Yun, and when he saw that there was a hint of expectation in her expression, he understood what she meant.
"Senior Sister Liu, fellow Daoists, the Shadow Society is extremely mysterious, the identity of the sect is complicated, and the foundation building monk who was killed before Xia has been lurking in the Zhou Kingdom for more than twenty years, and has also become the queen. In order to gather the grievances of mortals after death, and to commit many sins, do not be careless." Wang Rui didn't let Lu Wangxiang and the others pay attention, but after hearing that he had killed a foundation building monk, his face suddenly changed and he became serious.
Wang Rui's cultivation is basically understood by everyone else now, that is, in the early stage of foundation building, and he is only an outer disciple of the Xutian Sect.
I thought that this person was only able to pass with them because he knew some about the situation of the Shadow Society, took the way, or for the sake of the Immortal Gu's face, but he didn't expect that a monk in the early stage of foundation building on the other side would say that killing a monk of the same rank was so lightly said that they didn't dare to despise it.
Of course, some people think that Wang Rui is just bluffing, or because of some accident, or killing the other party with powerful magic weapons or rune treasures, not relying on his own strength, in short, Wang Rui has mixed opinions.
However, with Wang Rui's influence, Lu Wangxiang and others were a little less imposing, and Liu Yun was able to control the situation smoothly.
Subsequently, Liu Yun decided that everyone would enter the capital of the original Zhou State in batches, which is also the main border city of the current Wu State - Zhou City. The specific location of the Shadow Society's branch has not yet been detected, and it is necessary to continue to wait for information.
The team led by Wang Rui officially entered Zhoucheng at the moment of Shen Shi on the same day, and all five of them put on makeup and dressed up as heroes in the rivers and lakes.
The other two people in the team are a man and a woman, the male is Geng Jing, a disciple of Dihua, and the female is Fu Qingqiu, a disciple of Fuyun, both of whom are at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.
Zhou City has settled down, but the residents of the city inquired, it seems that the people of Wuguo are the mainstay, and the original people of Zhou are much less, and their status is low, and they are bullied by Wuguo people.
Destroying the three neighbors of the Zhou State, the army of the Wu State was the strongest, followed by the Jin State, and the Great Yan State again, and finally the capital was occupied by the Wu State and changed to "Zhou City".
There was nothing unusual at the gate of the city, and it was not as strict as imagined, but he paid a little more silver and did Zhang Wuguo's road guide. The strength of the Wu Kingdom is the strongest, and the road guide can pass through the Jin Kingdom and the Great Yan Kingdom, which is very cost-effective.
Mortals seem to be very open to the change of dynasty, today it is a Zhou country, tomorrow it will be a Wuguo person, and the day after tomorrow it may become a Jin countryman, as long as there is food to eat and a family to live in, it is not a big problem. A mortal dynasty is only a few hundred years or even less than a hundred years at best, for monks, it is not worth paying too much attention to at all, if it is not for Wang Rui discovering the traces of the Shadow Society this time, the several major immortal sects will not pay attention to the life and death of these mortals at all.
The inn is called Tianbo Inn, which is mostly for the knights, merchants, dart masters, etc., Wang Rui likes that it is mainly convenient to inquire about the news.
The other companions were distributed in four directions in the city, and the communication between the people was mainly by cipher or phonetic notes. Generally, if the matter is not urgent, there is no need to use the transmission note, leave a code, and you can meet at an agreed place.
It was late, and the five of them stayed in the lobby to eat, ordering four or five dishes and a bottle of rice wine.
All kinds of people in the lobby will naturally communicate privately after eating, including business and trade, famous scandals, bizarre cases, and miraculous cures.
Wang Rui and the five of them could easily hear everyone's conversation, and after some screening, they also became interested in the elixir.
About half a month ago, a pharmacy called "Sihai Pharmacy" appeared in the city, and they would give some medicine to the people for free every day, and those who looked down on doctors because of poverty benefited from it, and in a short time, this pharmacy became completely famous.
Although the medicine they send looks very ordinary, but the effect is excellent, basically belongs to the type of curing all diseases, some of the old people who have been addicted to scabies for many years can be cured and get out of bed the next day after taking it, and some can miraculously survive when they are dying, and there are even those who are missing arms and short legs, as long as the arms and legs are still there, no more than a day, they can give you a good pick up, causing a sensation in Zhou City, even those dignitaries and city lords in the city were alarmed, and the new city lord also brought people to visit, and the Four Seas Medicine Hall was soon able to fully bloom in Zhou City.
The shopkeeper now has hundreds of people, and the people who see the doctor every day are simply rubbing shoulders, making the other pharmacies miserable. There are also some unwilling medicine halls who want to provoke the Four Seas Medicine Hall, but they all return with feathers, or leave Zhou City, and even some people disappear mysteriously directly.
In short, this Four Seas Medicine Hall is now like an immortal medicine hall in the eyes of the people, basically, as long as you don't die, you can be cured, and the people in the city basically only recognize the Four Seas Medicine Hall.
Seeing that those people in the dining hall were blowing too mysteriously, Geng Jing couldn't help but speak: "What Brother Tai said is too miraculous, and Sihai Pharmacy basically doesn't need to pay for medical treatment, and only charges a little medicine fee, so what do they rely on to make a living?"
"Hmph, people just have the ability, can you manage it?" The other party also did not hesitate to fight back.
Someone else interjected, "At first, I didn't believe it, but then one of our fellows was killed by bandits, and when we fought, too many of them were seriously injured, and they were about to die. As a result, we became dead horses as live horse doctors, and carried people to the Four Seas Medicine Hall. It was not a shopkeeper who came out to see a doctor, but a somewhat sloppy monk, he touched his head and grinned, and after looking at it for a while, he said that he couldn't die, and then he touched his body for a while, rubbed out a mud ball and fed it to our guys, guess what happened?"
"Is it as good as ever, alive?" Geng Jing teased.
"Oh, you're really right, our guys were fine that day, after bleeding so much blood, we woke up like no one, and ate two chickens and a big pot of rice that night, and finally went to Piaoxiang Courtyard in the middle of the night to find a good match, so I just got a night." The man's performance was indeed exaggerated, but it also achieved excellent results, and both men and women were attracted to him.
The man laughed and thought about it. The woman was a little embarrassed, but also more curious.
After the meal, all five of them went up to the second floor, and although some people noticed them, no one came forward to provoke them.
Everyone entered Wang Rui, Chen Fuzhi and Geng Jing's room, the room of the three of them was very large, suitable for discussing things, and Chen Qi and Fu Qingqiu lived next door.
Everyone dispersed and sat cross-legged on the bed, Geng Jing took the lead and said, "Senior Brother Wang, this Four Seas Medicine Hall doesn't look simple, it doesn't look like a medicine shop that mortals can open, what do you think?"
Wang Rui nodded and said, "Although it can't reach the point of the flesh and bones of the living dead, it is quite miraculous to be able to cure all diseases. Some of the healing pills that our monks usually take may not be able to do it. But the strangest thing is that the monk in the mouth should not have appeared in the medicine hall."
Chen Qi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, are you saying that the people from the Four Seas Medicine Hall are those evil cultivators of the Shadow Society?"
"Not necessarily, but it must be involved." Wang Rui shook his head, and then said, "If the Shadow Society wants to establish a hall, it needs to find a support, and this medicine shop looks good. Moreover, after Liu Xi took away the queen's flesh before, he has been secretly collecting the grievances of mortals before death, although I don't know what the use of collecting these grievances is, but there must be an ulterior purpose. I suspect they'll do it again this time, but instead."
"Medicine?" The rest of the people asked in unison.
Wang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I suspect that the Shadow Society, by opening the Four Seas Medicine Hall, deliberately created something similar to the immortal medicine in their hands, which can cure all diseases, and when the reputation is out, they will change the medicine, and at that time, I am afraid that the mortals of the entire Zhou City will suffer."
"The Shadow Society should be killed!" Fu Qingqiu said with a sneering face, which made Wang Rui and the others a little puzzled.
Geng Jing seemed to have a good relationship with her, with a hint of affection in his eyes, and explained to her at this time: "Senior Sister Fu suffered an accident in her family when she was young, and she also met someone delivering medicine at that time, and I don't know if the group she met back then is related to the current group of people."
So that's the case, Wang Rui and the three of them all said a few words of comfort to Fu Qingqiu.
Fu Qingqiu got out of bed at this time, came to the ground and stood up, clasped his fists at Wang Rui and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I want to go and see what is famous in this Four Seas Medicine Hall."
Everyone else also got out of bed, Wang Rui was a little unhappy, but he could understand Fu Qingqiu's thoughts.
"Senior Sister Fu, I was originally reluctant to go to the Four Seas Medicine Hall in such a hurry, for fear that I would startle the snake, but since you have made up your mind, we naturally support you. But I also said in advance, if you want to go, everyone will go together, and if you see that the situation is not right, don't fall in love, you have to leave immediately, you can do it?" Wang Rui stared at Fu Qingqiu and asked.
Fu Qingqiu and Geng Jing were actually not convinced by Wang Rui, after all, Dihua Villa and Fuyun Mountain were also powerful immortal sect forces, and the four top sects might be able to make them more restrained.
However, Wang Rui was willing to take someone to accompany her to spy at this time, and Fu Qingqiu was still grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"This is natural, there is no need for Senior Brother Wang to worry." Although Fu Qingqiu agreed, his tone was not very happy.
Geng Jing also felt that Wang Rui was making a fuss, he didn't really believe in the strength of the Shadow Society's evil cultivators, besides, there were more than a dozen foundation building companions in the city, once they found out that something was wrong, they could send out a transmission note to summon their companions, and even kill the new hall of the Shadow Society here.
Seeing that the two of them were a little unhappy, Wang Rui was also a little big-headed, but it was a pity that he couldn't start to rectify it because of this, after all, these two people were not disciples of the Xutian Sect.
"Ugh...... I hope you'll do it for yourself." Wang Rui turned around and walked out of the room first, Chen Qi and Chen Fuzhi immediately followed, Geng Jing and Fu Qingqiu followed, both of them were a little sullen, feeling that Wang Rui was a little too timid, and even expressed doubts about the rumors that he had killed the Zhuji monks.
