The light rain is falling, and the smoke and rain are hazy.

On the muddy path, a slender girl in green clothes appeared at some point.

She is holding an oil-paper umbrella painted with blue birds and orchids, and the ends of her hair are slightly stained with rain and dew, and the whole person is like a lady who walks out of the painting.

Not far away is a teahouse, in which many pedestrians sit to take shelter from the wind and rain.

Chu Li walked to the tea shed, slowly put away the umbrella and said softly: "Do you know how far the tea family is from the nearest town?" ”

"This fairy doesn't know that there are no towns within a radius of three hundred miles here." The shopkeeper who made tea fanned the fan in his hand, and the flame in the furnace also became brighter, "If you say the nearest one, walk more than three hundred miles east from here, and it is Yingchuan County." It's just that it already belongs to the royal realm, if the fairy wants to go there...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”

Chu Li pretended to be embarrassed and glanced at the simple magic robe on his body: "Why? Is it now forbidden for the royal family to enter the county? ”

"Alas, I'm afraid the fairy has never been to the east before, right?" The shopkeeper leisurely extinguished the charcoal fire in the furnace, carried the teapot with a cloth towel and walked to a table of guests, and said expressionlessly: "Those county towns in the central part of the country have ordered two years ago to prohibit monks above the fifth level of qi refining from entering the county. The old man refining qi at the fourth level, but he couldn't see through the fairy's cultivation, presumably the fairy had already broken through the threshold of the fifth layer of qi refining, and now he couldn't enter the county town. ”

The shopkeeper's words seemed to resonate with many monks in the venue, and for a while, many monks opened the conversation box and said indignantly: "Hey, those stubborn bulls who are mortals have always looked down on us loose cultivators. If you want me to say, why go to their realm to find yourself unhappy, isn't it good here? ”

"That is, a few days ago, Lao Li took his daughter to Yingchuan County to sell goods, but when he came back, there was only one person left, and he also broke a leg, and now he is still lying half-dead at home. The monks in the county town didn't care about anything at all, and there was no result when they reported it, so they said that they were missing, and they sent them back to their brothers. ”

"When you say that, I remember, it seems that after a female cultivator disappeared two years ago, Yingchuan County did not allow monks above the fifth level of qi refining to enter the county town, right? He said that he was afraid that the traitor would make trouble again...... Who would believe it, there is no shortage of missing ones! ”

"Phew! If you want grandpa, I see, it was those royal monks who kidnapped those female cultivators, otherwise why hasn't there been any news for so long! ”

"And the monks who went to investigate this matter together are all gone......

"Shhh Beware of being listened to by those lackeys in the county, we're all going to be finished! A middle-aged monk wearing a scarf said, "What if the royal family arrests them?" After all, even if we take it to be a furnace, we can't do anything. It's better to ......."

"Whew!" When a monk with a cross-faced face heard this, he spit out a mouthful of phlegm directly on the face of the person who spoke out to dissuade him, "Dare to love Lao Li, his daughter is not your daughter after all, you don't worry about what happens, right?" There's no blood at all, just pack one! You deserve to be unable to break through the fourth layer of qi refining for the rest of your life! ”

The man wiped the thick phlegm from his face, blushed and stalked his neck, saying, "You have a kind!" If you fight for Lao Li, you will enter Yingchuan County! Don't dare to do anything and dare to do it here? ”

"Ge Laozi, grandpa slashed you with a stick-"

"Eh! Don't get excited, Brother Zhang......"

“……”

Chu Li looked at the farce in front of him lightly, and calmly sat down at an empty wooden table.

Since two years ago, there have been nuns who have disappeared.

It was forbidden for loose cultivators above the fifth level of qi refining to enter the county town, and the monks who had investigated the disappearance of the female cultivator also disappeared one after another.

Chu Li tasted the information revealed in these loose cultivators with great interest, and extracted the key points one by one.

Who would dare to break ground on the head of Tai Suiye?

Except for their own family, no one seems to dare to do such a stupid thing.

And these loose cultivators are not ignorant of all questions, and they all have guesses in their hearts, but they dare not confront the royal family head-on.

Actually, it's normal, even if you make a big deal about it?

There are only a few sects that can be the masters, and those people in the royal family protect their calves tightly, maybe it is something that is done by a beautiful county king, and when the time comes, it will be a big trouble and a small matter, maybe he will have to take his life.

After all, before the disaster befalls you, you just watch from afar, and there is no need to be the one who came out.

At least in Chu Li's opinion, most of these casual cultivators present thought so.

It's just that Brother Zhang doesn't seem to think so.

The monk wearing a scarf was not as good as Brother Zhang, but he also practiced a body like a loach, and Brother Zhang chased for a long time with a mace, but he didn't catch up.

Coupled with the obstruction of others, Brother Zhang quickly took back the mace angrily, and said cruelly to the fleeing monk: "In the future, I will see you fight again, don't appear in front of grandpa and me!" ”

"I have a kind! So what are you doing? The man grabbed the loophole in Brother Zhang's words and fought back, "Don't drag your brother and me to death yourself, don't think I don't know that you like Lao Li and his daughter!" ”

With that, the man disappeared into the rain without a trace.

Brother Zhang was so angry by his words that his hands trembled, and he directly smashed the wooden table in front of him in half with a fist, which made the store feel distressed.

Chu Li can be said to have watched a good show, no wonder the sect has never taken action to rectify these scattered cultivators, it turns out that they are simply independent of each other, and there is no need to worry about what they will do together.

Under the long-term suppression and subtle influence of the sect and the major forces, these loose cultivators have long been accustomed to their low status, and even if they are unwilling, very few people want to resist.

It's like an uncivilized fool who came to this world without knowing what to say, and lived a mediocre life.

Chu Li couldn't empathize with them, and he didn't have any pity.

The vast majority of these people don't even know why they're cultivating, let alone the desire to seek the Dao.

These things, just listen to them, at least Chu Li doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all now, because there are foundation building monks in that county, and she is not worthy of it for the time being.

It's a match, and she doesn't really want to care.

Because she clearly knew that if it was just someone in the royal family who robbed the people's daughters, at most it would be immoral, and the sect would not take care of it if she knew about it, at most she would notify the people in power within the royal family of this matter and tell them to punish them with small punishments and big commandments.

If there is something else going on......

That's more interesting.

Chu Li's eyes rolled slightly, and he said to the shopkeeper: "Tea family, can you give me a pot of spiritual tea?" ”
