Volume 2: Let's Test the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 40 The Lord of Kangzhuang City
Xia Yu came to a small planet on the edge of the Gate of Sin and witnessed the chaos here. seems normal, but it does reveal ruthlessness and ruthlessness everywhere, and life seems worthless here. It's just a small town on this planet, and there may be some order elsewhere, but it may be bloodier.
After seeing a little beggar on the street and no one stopped him, Xia Yu followed the little beggar to a secluded place and wanted to ask about something. If you want to get mixed up in the realm of this gate of sin, this little beggar may know more about it.
"If you just kill people, you will be fine in this area of the Gate of Sin, and in order to make a living, what is it to kill a few people!"
The little beggar flattered Xia Yu into the dilapidated hall, and wiped Xia Yu with his sleeve a clean position where he could sit down, and then stood obediently and waited for Xia Yu's question.
"What have I done in the outside world that will affect my survival at this gate of sin?" Xia Yu asked after sitting down.
"No, the gate of sin does not care about the past and does not turn over old accounts. There are no rules in the entire realm of the Gate of Sin, but once you reach the Gate of Sin, there are two taboos. The little beggar explained.
After speaking, the little beggar looked up at Xia Yu, and found that Xia Yu's expression had not changed, so he continued.
"There are two taboos in the Gate of Evil: first, you must not force women, and second, you must not torture and kill civilians."
"Oh, it seems that this is a rule set by the higher-ups of the Gate of Sin?" Xia Yu sighed.
"That's right, other than that, you can do whatever you want, even if you want to challenge the city lord, you can do whatever you want on the specified day and place. If you can defeat the Castle Lord, then you are the new Castle Lord. The little beggar said.
"Does the lord of the city have any privileges?" Xia Yu asked.
"First of all, the city lord has a city defense team under him, and he is the king in a city. In addition to collecting money, it is to occupy the treasure land of the city lord's mansion. Most of the City Lord's Mansion is built in a place with strong spiritual energy, and it is blessed with formations, and it is said that the cultivation speed is several times faster than others. After speaking, the little beggar continued to look up at Xia Yu.
"If there's anything else, I'll finish it directly, don't test me, shake your wit in front of me, it's not worth your life!" Xia Yu said coldly.
"What adults teach is that it is the little ones who are clever themselves!"
Although the little beggar's mind was recognized, he did not show fear or deliberately conceal it, and obviously had great attainments in observing words and feelings. After bowing and expressing his Meng Lang, the little beggar continued to talk about the rules of the Gate of Sin.
"The city lord of a small city must also have at least the early stage of atavism, and the larger city also needs to be atavistic in the middle or late stage of cultivation to be able to seize it, as long as the city lord pays taxes on time, no one cares about him under normal circumstances. And once you become the lord of the city, then you have the right to talk directly to the higher-ups! The little beggar recounted.
"Let me ask you, what is the distribution of the cultivation of the Gate of Sin?" Xia Yu asked.
"I don't know this little one, only the city lord can access this information, I'm just a little person begging for a life in troubled times!" When talking about the little people, the little beggar couldn't help but bow his head.
"Alright, I know what I want to know, goodbye!" After Xia Yu finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.
Just as Xia Yu was about to leave, he heard a plop, and the little beggar knelt directly behind Xia Yu, and after knocking his head three times in a row, he asked Xia Yu.
"If the adults don't dislike it, the little Hanako is willing to follow the adults, seeking an opportunity to improve, and I hope the adults will be fulfilled! The little one will go all out and swear to follow! ”
"You're very smart, but you can think about it, you may be able to soar with me, but maybe you will die prematurely." Xia Yu said without replying.
"These little ones know, but now in this world, I'm afraid it's difficult to make a breakthrough even if I spend my whole life, this kind of day with today and no tomorrow, I'm bored, I want to give it a try."
"You're not afraid of death?"
"All I can use to bet on tomorrow is this little life, and there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Okay, I'll stay in the city inn, and you'll come back tomorrow!" Xia Yu still didn't look back, and left after finishing speaking! Before leaving, he threw the little beggar a cloth bag, which contained some fairy stones, fairy jade and other circulating currency.
The little beggar buttoned his head at Xia Yu's back again, until Xia Yu's back disappeared into the courtyard. There are two main reasons why Xia Yu did not directly agree to the little beggar's request, one is that his plan has not been formulated yet, twenty this little beggar, although his cultivation is average, but he is extremely cunning in life, and he is ruthless and abnormal, Xia Yu is a little resistant to this kind of people.
The next day, Xia Yu still accepted the little beggar, after all, this is the gate of sin, how can there be a good person, and he still needs someone to run errands for himself and do something, this little beggar in front of him is very suitable.
"My name is Qingfeng, a monk in the late stage of the atavistic realm, you will follow in the future, if you are able to do things, I will give you a chance to step into the opportunity of atavism." Xia Yu looked at the little beggar in front of him and said.
"Lord Aomine, the little one will do his best and die!" The little beggar saluted.
"What's your name?" Xia Yu asked again.
"The little one was born a beggar, and he has always been a beggar in this small Kangzhuang city, and I don't have a name, and everyone in the market calls me a knife."
"Well, I'll call you a knife in the future, when is the challenge day of the city lord of this Kangzhuang City?" Xia Yu asked.
"Back to my lord, the challenge day of the city lord of this small city is every ten years, and there is still one year and eight months before the next challenge!"
"Okay, you go down, during this time, you can find a way to inquire about the strength of the city lords of other cities and the challenge days, I may have to visit them one by one?" Xia Yu arranged the task.
"Lord Aomine, don't you just want the lord of this Kangzhuang City? But one person can only be the lord of a city, and he doesn't have much to bear! Knife asked in surprise.
I had already guessed that Xia Yu was going to compete for the position of city lord, so I also wanted to fight for a Bo, once Xia Yu became the city lord, then I would have a good life, but obviously, Xia Yu's plan didn't seem to be accommodated by this small Kangzhuang City at all.
"You have a lot of words, huh? I used to think you were smart, maybe I was overthinking it! Xia Yu suddenly snorted coldly.
"Adults spare their lives, it's the little ones who have many mouths and many tongues, and they think they're smart, from now on, every word you say is an order, and the little ones won't show a little bit to the outside world!" The knife hurriedly saluted.
The knife also realized that he was too talkative, and in this world, the more he knew, the faster he died. I've just followed Lord Aomine, so I really deserve to fight with so many mouths!
The rest of the scene, in Kangzhuang City, the little beggar knife that everyone is familiar with seems to have changed like a person, no longer going to the pit to be abducted, but wandering among the major merchants and homeless people, inquiring about the situation of the Gate of Evil, if it is not for the bottom line, others think that this little beggar is not a spy sent by other forces!
In addition, on the second floor of an inn lived a young man in black, who was always drinking tea close to the street, but rarely came out and walked. It's been a long time, and everyone is used to it!
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and on this day, the knife came to Xia Yu's room and reported to Xia Yu.
"Lord Aomine, there is still a month to go until the day of challenging the city lord for ten years, and there have been many new faces in the city recently, presumably because of this."
"Got it, step down! Just call me the day before the challenge! Xia Yu casually arranged and continued to make tea there. The knife also left in amusement.
For more than a year, Daozi looked at Xia Yu, and always felt that he couldn't see through it more and more, a year ago, Qingfeng was only cultivated to a high level, which was terrifying, but recently, Lord Qingfeng seemed to have a veil, which made people feel impenetrable.
At night, the soldiers in the city lord's mansion were on duty and patrolling. In the main hall, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes drank alone. In every move, the majesty is awe-inspiring, and the cultivation has also reached the peak of the early stage of the atavism, and then there is the middle stage. But at this time, there seemed to be displeasure in his eyes.
In fact, everyone knows that the city lord has been in a bad mood recently, and in several nearby cities, because the city lord was challenged to the next position, many people rushed to Kangzhuang City. They are all quasi-city lord level figures, so their position as city lord is facing a great threat. This also caused the lord of the city to drink sullen wine here.
"I don't seem to be in a good mood!" A cold voice suddenly appeared in the main hall.
"Who?" The man in gorgeous clothes, with a palpitation in his heart, looked up.
The hall that was originally empty was now standing with a man in black, and the city lord didn't even know how this person got in.
"You are the city lord of Kangzhuang, Shan Gang!" Xia Yu asked.
"I'm Shan Gang, what's the matter with who came!" The lord of the city stood up and said.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to make a deal with you!" Xia Yu said coldly.
"What deal?" Shan Gang asked nervously. 、
"Haha, relax, a piece of news that is only good for you, not bad!" Xia Yu said that, he walked to the next seat of the city lord and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.
"Well, the tea in the City Lord's Mansion is really good!" Xia Yu sighed alone.
Finally, the once-in-a-decade Castle Lord's Mansion Challenge Day has arrived. The day before, the knife brought Xia Yu to the challenge field, and then took Xia Yu to register, and the rest was the next day's challenge.
The next day, Xia Yu, who was alias Qingfeng, also participated in the challenge of the city lord, and there were more than 100 people who participated in the challenge, all of whom were monks in the early stage of the atavism, some city lords who were driven down from the city, monks who had been obscure for many years, and outsiders who wanted to win opportunities here.
The rules of the challenge are that the challengers must first choose the first place, and then the first place will be eligible to challenge the city lord.
Xia Yu's cultivation in the middle of the atavistic period is simply a cheating existence here, so a dark horse named Qingfeng has been laughing until the end.
After a battle, Xia Yu obtained the qualification to challenge Shan Gang, the lord of Kangzhuang City.
This is also a game that the people in the city like to watch, and every time the city lord challenge has been extremely tragic in the past, fighting to the death. But today disappointed everyone, the two didn't have a few moves, and the city lord Shan just said that he would admit defeat. So Xia Yu successfully became the city lord of Kangzhuang City and was invited into the city lord's mansion.
Just when the people in the city and the merchants wondered who this newcomer was and whether he would increase the tax burden or other orders after taking office, a notice was posted in the city lord's mansion.
The notice came from the new city lord Qingfeng, and the city lord appointed the original city lord Shan Gang as the deputy city lord and temporarily acted as the city lord.
"What does this new city lord mean? Don't you want to take care of things? ”
"I think it's still suppressed by the old city lord by some means, otherwise how could the old city lord be kept alive!"
"Don't worry about it, it's an arrangement between the city lords anyway, as long as it's not difficult for us!"
"Look, there's still resignation under fate!"
"What? Isn't it nonsense that the knife was appointed as a tax collector? ”
"Isn't it deliberately difficult for us to let that little beggar be the tax collector?"
"Unlucky, I saw that little beggar yesterday and scolded him!"
The news that Xia Yu had just accepted Shan Gang as the deputy city lord did not cause any waves, but the news that the little beggar had become a tax collector directly surprised the people in the city.
Although everyone usually has no life and death hatred with the little beggar, there are many ridicules and insults. Now this little beggar, I don't know what shit luck he has taken, and he has ascended to the sky in one step, so these people who have bullied him will suffer.
