Chapter 8 Change
The main city of Xingzhou is called Yangping City.
It wasn't the first time Qin Zhen had come here, but the last time she came, her father hadn't disappeared yet, and those former "elders" hadn't shown their greedy faces.
Now, when you step into the city, everything has changed.
Qin Hao smiled self-deprecatingly, driving out the complicated thoughts in his mind.
Ye Yousheng was studying the map in his hand and didn't notice Qin Hao's expression. He looked down for a while, frowned and pointed to the left uncertainly: "Senior sister, it should be going that way." ”
"Should?" Qin Hao probed to look at the map in his hand-
If that could be called a map.
A few messy black lines were drawn on the white paper, lying crookedly, outlining a strange outline.
"......" Qin Hao was silent for a moment.
Ye Yousheng hurriedly explained in a panic: "I didn't paint it, I bought it from someone else." ”
You might as well draw it yourself.
Qin Zhen reluctantly took the map from his hand: "Don't look at this, let's take a walk by ourselves." ”
The two of them were now standing not far from the gate of Yangping City.
Ye Yousheng probably wanted to make up for his mistakes, and actively looked around, trying to find a route.
"Senior sister! What's over there? ”
Suddenly, as if he had seen something, he shouted loudly.
Qin Zhen was about to walk in the opposite direction to the city gate, when he heard Ye Yousheng's shout, he stopped, turned around and looked in the direction he pointed.
The gates of the city were crowded with people, and from the center of the crowd came the sound of sharp reprimands, and occasionally whispers of justification, but they were soon drowned out and disappeared.
Qin Zhen knew what he was doing, and it was not unusual for such a thing to be in Yangping City.
It may be said that such a thing is not strange in any monk's city.
According to the regulations of the Six Dao Alliance, only monks can live and stay in the main cities of each state. Mortals attached to the main city must hold a specific pass token if they want to go there.
These pass-bearers usually work as coolies in the city, such as transporting items for monks.
Although the monks can do it with some effort on their own, the number of mortals is large, and there is no need to pay spirit stones like other monks, so it is most suitable to do some dirty work.
Then issue them a pass token, the name of the United States is to contact the immortals, to obtain the immortal fate, and the mortals who want to come in a hurry don't know how many, so they don't have to bother to find it.
Qin Zhen was not ready for Ye Yousheng to see this, she hoped that Ye Yousheng could live in such an immortal cultivation world without worries and not be polluted by these things.
So she hesitated, but still stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Ye Yousheng: "Ah Sheng." ”
"Senior sister?" Ye Yousheng felt that his hand was held by that slightly cold hand.
He trembled, not daring to shake it back, so he could only pretend to be calm and meet Qin Zhen's gaze.
"I know where to go to the stele." Qin Zhen pointed in the direction, "Let's go." ”
"But......" Ye Yousheng wanted to say that he heard what seemed to be fighting and shouting for help on the other side of the crowd, but he swallowed back the words when he looked at Qin Hao's calm eyes.
However, the noise suddenly became louder.
Along with it, there was also the roar of the demon beast, which came from far and near.
"Monster intrusion! Notify the Enforcement Team! The monks gathered in the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only the few mortals in the middle who were lying in a pool of blood.
At the gate of the city, a fox demon with a white body and a head taller than the city gate was standing there. Six white tails wagged behind it, exuding a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
The red eyes condensed slightly, and the six tails instantly became longer, and they attacked the city.
In an instant, the transparent city protection formation enveloped the entire city, resisting the fox demon's first attack. But there were still aftermaths that infiltrated the city, and the monks used their aura to protect their bodies.
Qin Zhen let go of the hand holding Ye Yousheng and rushed towards the few mortals on the ground, resisting the aftermath before it was about to hit them.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at them.
There were two people, a man and a woman, who were still breathing weakly, and they could still be saved.
It was obviously not safe here, the fox demon did not give up the attack, and was mobilizing the aura to prepare to smash the city protection formation.
Qin Zhen carried the woman on his back, and motioned to Ye Yousheng, who rushed over, to carry the other person on his back, and the two of them quickly ran in the opposite direction.
A group of monks dressed in black passed them and headed straight for the city gates.
Qin Zhen glanced at it and recognized it as someone from the law enforcement team.
She did not stop until she could no longer see the city gate, and turned into an alley where no one was around, and then she put down the woman on her back.
Placing the two of them flat on the ground, Qin Hao pressed her hands on their chests, and a faint cyan spiritual power flowed into the bodies of the two of them along her movements.
After a while, Qin Hao withdrew his hand and took out two pills from the storage bag. After Ye Yousheng broke their closed mouths, he fed the pill in.
"Fortunately, the internal organs are not damaged." Qin Hao sighed.
She didn't intend to save people.
After all, if she wanted to save these two people at that time, she needed to take an unbearable risk.
But......
Qin Zhen pursed her lips, and unpleasant memories filled her mind.
"Senior sister, how can there be demon beasts in Yangping City?"
Familiar, Ye Yousheng's voice pulled her back from her negative emotions.
Qin Zhen shook her head: "I don't know, wait for the news from the law enforcement team." ”
Although it is not a very rare thing for demon beasts to attack a city, it is still very suspicious to encounter it in the main city of a state.
Today, the Immortal Dao is prosperous and occupies the dominant position of the Six Dao Alliance. It is said that the alliance formed by the six realms has actually existed in name only.
For example, humanity has lost its inheritance and only occupies a false seat in the Six Paths Alliance. And the other realms were no match for the immortal path, so they could only retreat for the time being, and rarely appeared in the realm of immortal cultivators.
But the strength of each faction is not in unison.
It's like the Demon Dao has cooperated with the Immortal Dao's order to not allow the demon beasts to attack the city of monks and mortals. But there are always monsters that won't obey orders, and will still break into the city and cause chaos.
These monsters are not subordinate to any force and are not constrained.
Of course, this also means that if they are captured, no force will protect them.
Qin Zhen is only in the Qi refining period now, and through the city protection formation, he can't see the cultivation of that demon fox.
However, since he dared to attack the monk's main city alone, he must still have some dependence.
It's a pity that it's really unlucky, and it just happened to be the time when the "Battle of Geniuses" was held and all the sect masters gathered in Yangping City.
If it was Qin Hao, if she wanted to attack the monk's town during this period, she would not choose Yangping City, but would go to those towns where there was no leading sect master.
The demon fox who can cultivate to the six-tailed has already opened his spiritual wisdom, and he will not put himself in danger like this.
Is there something in Yangping City that it has to take, or is it just part of its plan, and the real highlight is somewhere else?
Qin Hao frowned, unable to think of anything, so he could only leave this question behind him for the time being.
Although the two mortals who had just been rescued were no longer in danger of life, they still needed a quiet place to rest and recuperate, so as not to leave sequelae.
Qin Zhen rummaged through their coats and found two pass tokens from the mezzanine.
The man's pass token read, "Wang Xi, Yangping City Huisheng Medicine Shop Guy, Changgong." ”
The woman's pass token read: "Zhao Yuelian, Yangping City Huisheng Medicine Shop Guy, Changgong." ”
Qin Hao knew the location of Yangping City's Huisheng Medicine Shop, but she wasn't sure if she should send them back there.
These two people were beaten by the monks just now, and they didn't know the cause of the incident, so they rushed to send them back, probably just pushing them back into pain and suffering.
But if you don't send them back, it's unrealistic to take them out of the main city.
Mortals who work in the main city want to leave the city, they must have the monks who hired them leave a special word on the pass token, and then give it to the guards to check when they leave the city, and then they can be released from the city.
Qin Hao was a little distressed.
Sure enough, you still have to think rationally before making any choices.
When she had time to think, she wouldn't choose to save the two of them. But when time was pressed and she didn't have time to think, she still subconsciously rushed up to save them.
Qin Zhen didn't like herself like this.
She wished she could be sensible forever so that her enemies would not be taken advantage of.
Ye Yousheng was still probing the snort of the two.
Qin Zhen watched silently for a while, but still made a decision.
She sighed, "Let's go, Ah Sheng, let's take them back to the crude medicine shop." ”
Anyway, let's check the situation first, and if something is wrong, make a choice. It would be unrealistic to send them out of the city directly, and the subsequent series of things would be very troublesome.
Ye Yousheng withdrew his hand, and was about to pick up the man named "Wang Xi" again, but saw his fingers move.
"Senior sister, he seems to be waking up." Ye Yousheng said in surprise.
Qin Zhen squatted down and motioned for Ye Yousheng to help the two of them up with her, and let them lean against the wall of the alley.
It didn't take long for Wang Xi's lips to move, Qin Hao took out the water from the storage bag and fed it to his mouth, Wang Xi subconsciously swallowed the water, his eyes trembled, and slowly opened again.
"I ......" Wang Xi's consciousness was not very clear, and his voice was hoarse, "Help...... Save the Moon Lotus. ”
Qin Zhen soothed his hand: "You are all safe now, don't worry." ”
Only then did Wang Xi notice Qin Zhen.
The gentleness conveyed by Qin Hao's face and voice made him feel relieved for a long time, and he no longer had the strength to be vigilant.
He tried to turn his head to look at Zhao Yuelian beside him, and opened his mouth to say something, but as soon as his throat hurt, he coughed sharply again.
"She's very weak and won't wake up until a while." Qin Hao explained, "You should think about where you are going later, and then tell me when you have recovered some strength." ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Xi closed his eyes and rested with confidence.
He had just woken up, and the medicinal properties of the pill had not yet been fully exerted, and his limbs were still aching.
"Senior sister, can I go to the city gate first to see the situation." Ye Yousheng hesitated, but still said.
He didn't want to look so useless, so he could only follow Qin Hao and do things in a daze. He wanted to do what he could to help Qin Hao lighten his burden.
Qin Zhen pursed her lips, and in Ye Yousheng's nervous expression, she finally smiled lightly: "Okay, you pay more attention to your own safety, and if there is any danger, call the senior sister over." ”
"Hmmm! Senior sister, don't worry! Ye Yousheng nodded again and again, turned around and flew towards the city gate.
Qin Hao watched his back disappear from sight before silently retracting his gaze.
This kind of change should be a good thing, right?
