Chapter Ninety-Two: Entering the City of Hope for the First Time
The sky is clear and cloudless.
High in the sky, a big cyan gourd roared by, and a man and a woman sat on it, with fluttering green clothes.
These two are Ming Chen and Yu Chuxue.
Yesterday, they set off from Qingdi City, Luo Yang and Luo Zhang advanced at full speed, and almost threw the two of them away from each other, while Ming Chen and the others advanced at a normal speed to retain their strength.
After all, this is not a simple subjugation of demons, but an investigation of the case.
During this period, they carefully studied the contents of the bamboo slips.
Wangcheng is a small city with a small population of more than 100,000 people, and its location is a bit close to the Moon Kingdom in the north.
A month ago, people continued to disappear, first the old man, and then the young man, which also attracted the attention of Wangcheng, but half a month passed, but the reason was still not found.
So he reported to Jingguo, and Jingguo also sent officials, this time it was even more outrageous, and the missing people became women and children.
And there is no one alive, no corpse is dead, and there is no sound.
At first, there were only three or two people missing, but the number of people who disappeared recently began to increase dramatically.
Jingguo officials, who couldn't find the reason, thought that it was a demon, and they happened to catch up with the trial of newcomers.
But you can't tell what the hell is going on by looking at that.
Suddenly, Ming Chen noticed that Senior Sister Yu seemed to be a little sad, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Sister Yu, what's wrong?" ”
Only then did I remember that in addition to cultivation and analyzing the case along the way, Yu Chuxue's interest was not great.
Hearing this, Yu Chuxue was slightly stunned and sighed faintly, "Senior Sister's strength can't help too much, but it will drag you down." ”
"Hey, I see, senior sister doesn't have to worry, the key to this task is not the level of strength, who is strong and who is weak; It's whether it's smart enough, it's not careful enough; What is tested is insight and judgment, and the key to the task is to peel off the cocoon from the clues and restore the truth of the incident. ”
Ming Chen waved his hand and continued, "It is said that women are as careful as hair, and many details that I can't see may only be discovered by you; So, don't be presumptuous; Besides, the fat brother didn't prepare some secret weapons for you? ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Chuxue's pressure decreased a lot, and there was a smile on her face.
"It's true, Senior Brother Zhang gave a lot of pills, but they were all strange things."
Then he took out a bunch of porcelain bottles of different sizes and began to treasure them, "This bottle of Four-Rank Explosive Qi Pill can instantly improve cultivation, but it will be weak for a while afterwards." ”
"This bottle of Five-Rank Explosive Pill can't be eaten, but it can be thrown to others to eat, and after eating, it will explode and die, which looks the same as the Four-Grade Explosive Pill."
"There is also this bottle of six-grade spell pill, it is not for food, throwing it out is equivalent to an intermediate spell, this is the most, there are more than a hundred."
"In the end, Senior Brother Zhang also lent me a treasure mirror, but I wouldn't use it, he said that the treasure mirror would protect me when I was in crisis."
Ming Chen on the side was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his jaw couldn't close.
The trenches are inhumane!
The fat brother has taken out all his family resources.
Not to mention the fourth-grade and fifth-grade pills, the sixth-grade pills are worth a high-grade spirit stone, and more than a hundred are more than a hundred high-grade spirit stones.
Refining so many high-grade pills, isn't his body empty?
Moreover, these pills are definitely the unique pills that he made up by himself, because Ming Chen has never even heard of them, you know, he is a person who has eaten the "Alchemy Explanation" thoroughly.
There is also that treasure mirror, which is obviously a medium-grade attack magic weapon fire viewing mirror, which is another hundred high-grade spirit stones, and if you say you can borrow it, you are not afraid of losing it.
Is there such a big difference between a junior sister and a junior brother?
The fat brother screamed in vain!
"Senior Sister Yu, to be honest, I should be more active with your level of armament so as not to hold you back."
"Don't be kidding, my cultivation talent is average, if it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang, I guess I wouldn't have reached the second-grade Qi Refiner at this time." Yu Chuxue thought that Ming Chen was making fun of her.
However, Ming Chen can also understand that Yu Chuxue, who has just arrived at the second-grade Qi Refiner, may have only initially mastered the Qingteng Technique, not to mention the power, so he will not feel how powerful the intermediate spell is.
I haven't seen the power of the fire viewing goggles, but Ming Chen has seen half of it.
The fire viewing scope is very strong, and with all his strength, he will definitely not be able to stop it with his physical body alone.
Along the way after that, Ming Chen also sped up, and at the same time, in order to strengthen Yu Chuxue's confidence, he also used a six-grade spell pill in front of her.
That power is the same as the giant vine that the fat brother exerts.
Think about it, more than a hundred huge giant vines, and the scalp is numb!
At this time, Senior Sister Yu was shocked for an hour, and only then did she know the value of what Senior Brother Zhang gave her, and she was moved in her heart, and Mingchen was even more heartbroken.
The fat brother doesn't give any benefits, and he has to assist him in scoring points!
Another day passed, and Ming Chen and the others finally came to Wangcheng.
The low temperature here is not caused by any demonic energy, but the closer you get to the Moon Country, the lower the temperature.
It is rumored that half of the country is frozen all year round.
There are wide ice lakes there, and it is known as the country of a thousand lakes.
Wangcheng is still far from the Moon Country, but the temperature has also dropped significantly.
Before entering the city, Ming Chen proposed to dress up in disguise and not enter the city as a qi refiner, but to investigate secretly.
Yu Chuxue was still a little puzzled, "Isn't it more convenient to use the identity of a Qi Refiner?" The City Lord's Mansion will also cooperate with us. ”
In this regard, Ming Chen shook his head, "If you enter in the light, you will definitely be discovered, so the enemy is very passive." ”
"On the contrary, we dress up as ordinary people or charlatans, and we are not so noticeable; What we investigate is more credible, rather than the intelligence that has been filtered by others. ”
At this time, Yu Chuxue also understood, "Are you afraid that someone will collude with the demon clan, there are also eyeliners in the city, and the other party is powerful, and will guide us with wrong information?" ”
"I don't rule it out." Mingchen nodded.
After pondering for a moment, he added, "They haven't found any useful information for so long, and it's likely that they went in the wrong direction from the beginning; Therefore, we must not be misled by this information, and the best thing is to start over, withdraw ourselves, and not get bogged down, as is the case with the so-called blind eye. ”
"You're so smart." Yu Chuxue sighed, "And you have a plan, otherwise you wouldn't have stopped in the big city in front of you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
After a haha, the two began to dress up in disguise.
In fact, it is very simple, change the clothes, hang the gourd as a pendant on the chest after shrinking, and change into a coarse cloth clothes that are worn, the only thing that is difficult to hide is a handsome face.
But this is not difficult for Yu Chuxue, makeup is what she is good at, and with a simple change, she has changed back to the ordinary little girl she was at the beginning.
Ming Chen also turned into a rough-skinned youth in her hands.
The two of them are plainly dressed, but they are not shabby, the man is strong and powerful, and the woman is also steady, so they don't look easy to mess with.
A kind of wind and dust, the feeling of going south and north comes.
Equip Senior Sister Yu with a long sword, with a sharp weapon in hand, which can make people who can't open their eyes weigh it.
In this way, the two stepped into Wangcheng.
The first glance when they entered Wangcheng made the two of them frown.
The hawkers on the street were particularly piercing and noisy, and several parties looked across the street, shouting loudly at the top of their voices, and their faces were red and their necks thick.
"Take a look, take a look, fresh vegetables !!"
"Rock sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd—"
"Soup cake, hot soup cake ......"
"Damn, I'm scared of the guests, don't you know how to be quiet?!" A rude rough man walked out of the tea stall, rolled up his sleeves, and spat on thick phlegm.
"And you, the old thing that sells sugar gourds, go away and sell it, it makes Lao Tzu upset!"
"Damn, who are you talking to?!"
The vegetable seller didn't say anything, the old man who sold the sugar gourd, picked up the sugar gourd, and smashed it, only to hear a loud bang, and the sugar gourd exploded everywhere, but the man's tea stall was also lifted by this stick.
The man shouted loudly and rushed forward.
At this time, the vegetable stall owner who was holding the vegetable leaves had a hideous face, threw the vegetable leaves to the ground, and pounced on them with a roar.
The old man did not flinch, and danced the stick in his hand whirring.
The three of them made a mess.
Soon a lot of people gathered around and cheered for them.
"Hit! Hit the !! hard ”
"Bite him! How stupid! ”
"Dig him! Pull out!!! ”
“......”
Yu Chuxue wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Ming Chen and shook her head silently.
At the same time, he motioned her to look further away, where there were many smashed stalls, and some melons and fruits were still trampled into batter in the middle of the road.
"What's going on?"
Facing Senior Sister Yu's inquiry, Ming Chen pointed to the onlookers and said, "Look at those onlookers, they are disheveled, and some of them have blue noses and swollen faces, obviously this is their common thing." ”
At this moment, the onlookers were separated.
"What are you doing! Stop it! ”
A deep sound made the three people who were scuffling together stop, but they didn't let go of their hands.
I saw a strong man walking in the crowd, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a fierce and vicious bald head; There was a hideous scar on the shiny bald head, like a centipede lying on it, with a knife at its waist; When the bald man saw such a scene, he was angry and rushed forward to give a kick.
The kick made them scream, and then they let go of each other's hands.
"How many times has this been? Restless life day by day! Do you want to go back to prison with me? ”
There was a loud shout, like thunder, and several people who were close covered their ears one after another.
The three of them greeted each other with a smile on their faces instantly, and hugged each other as before, "Uncle Lu, it's okay, there's nothing wrong at all; We just want to attract onlookers, so that there are many guests, and we didn't want to alarm you. ”
The bald man snorted coldly, "I'll spare you this time, and next time, it's not so easy to speak." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The three of them said yes again and again.
Hearing that Mingchen fell into contemplation, creating contradictions, and gaining attention, isn't this an Internet celebrity routine? It's so advanced here?!
"Really?" Yu Chuxue also had a stunned expression.
The two of them with the same expression found an inn to live in, Ming Chen rubbed his hands, and Bigu Dan had no taste except for a full stomach.
It's been a year, and I'm finally able to eat hot.
However, when the meal was served, he changed color.
