Chapter 5 The Mountain Bandits Enter the Town

The name of the hotel is "Tai'an Hotel", the design of the three floors, the plaque and red lantern in front of the door are all faded, and there seems to be only one proprietress and one shop guy in the store. The proprietress stayed behind the counter, bored fiddling with the abacus.

When Ji Hanying walked in, the proprietress didn't raise her head, and opened her mouth to come:

"15 for one night in the next room, 30 for one night in the upper room, an additional 5 yuan for a meal, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, hot water and breakfast are provided for free."

"Hello, I want an upper room, with food, this is thirty-five lower grade spirit stones, thank you."

Ji Hanying stood in front of the counter and took out thirty-five lower grade spirit stones from the money bag and put them in front of the proprietress. The proprietress only looked up slightly at this time, it was a little girl before meeting, and she was stunned for a while before chuckling and saying while collecting the money:

"Whose little girl is this, she hasn't been able to live alone, and she is not afraid of being captured by monsters."

"Big sister, I'm separated from my family, they will pick me up early tomorrow morning, and I'll stay here for one night. And I'm not a kid anymore, and monsters can't scare me or anything. ”

"Yo, the little girl's mouth is quite sweet. Okay, that's the key to the upper room. Wait for Ah Fu to take you to the room, hot water is available early, if you want to tell Ah Fu as soon as possible, there will be no more if it's late. Breakfast too. Remember not to go out at night. ”

There's no young woman who doesn't like to be called, especially when a little girl who looks like a little sweet bean calls you big sister. Sure enough, the proprietress smiled from ear to ear, and kindly reminded the "unspoken rules" of accommodation.

However, she can't go out at night, and this is the second time she's heard someone mention it. After thinking about it, Ji Hanying still decided to ask.

"Big sister, why can't you go out at night, is there anything important?"

"Harm, there's nothing you can't say. It's a group of mountain bandits around here, led by a monk who seems to be a monk, but it's amazing, the county government lord sent several times to encircle and suppress it without success, and then ah, it doesn't matter. Now they would come into the town every night to loot, and the doors of their homes were closed, for fear of provoking the plague gods. Two days ago, Old Man Yao, who lived in the east of the town, and his little granddaughter were arrested. So, a little girl like you, tomorrow morning, hurry up and follow your family. ”

When the proprietress mentioned it, her face was full of distress and irritability. Obviously, this gang of mountain bandits has been harassing the people for a long time, and there is nothing they can do about it. Monks...... Interestingly, I haven't seen a monk since I came here. However, his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi cultivation can only control beasts and people with simple small spells like dust removal spells, and when he encounters them, he will also deliver food to people, so it is best to walk around.

"Thank you, sister, sister, what about my deer outside the door?"

"Well, I'll let Ah Fu take him to the backyard stable, there is forage there."

"Okay, thank you, sister."

After Ji Hanying thanked him, he took the key and followed the shopkeeper Ah Fu to his room. The room is not big, but it is neat and comfortable, and the purpose of repairing it for one night is enough.

asked for a bucket of hot water, and when the water and food were delivered, Ji Hanying put the luggage away, and put the remaining spirit stones in the storage container along with the money bag. After entering the town, I was worried that the storage device would cause trouble, and I didn't dare to take it out, but I don't know where this storage came from, the space inside is outrageous for her now, if it weren't for the fact that it can only store things, it is almost the same as the heroine's Lingtian in the novel - the heroine Ye Ningqiong accidentally found a semi-artifact in a secret realm, which contains spiritual springs, spiritual fields, heavenly and earthly treasures, etc., and was super envious when reading books at that time.

Night falls

After Ji Hanying finished eating and washing, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate. This was her nightly compulsory routine, and now that her strength in the middle level of Qi cultivation had been stabilized, she was preparing to attack the back level of Qi training.

When the cultivation was at its best, there was a bustling noise outside, accompanied by the screams of people. I didn't plan to pay attention to it, but thinking of what the boss said, Ji Hanying's heart couldn't calm down again. It can't be a bandit.

Sure enough.

There was a fire outside, and dozens of fierce men kicked open the door on the street at will, and began to smash and loot when they entered the inside. If someone tried to stop them, they would be beaten by several people, and the skin of the beating would be open and bloody. This scene is like a purgatory on earth under the reflection of torches. At least it was a big shock for Ji Hanying, who had been living in peacetime, and his face turned pale in an instant.

In my previous life, whether it was a film or television program or a documentary, I saw this kind of picture, although it would be uncomfortable, but it was more of sympathy and compassion, and there was no smell of blood entering the nasal cavity through the screen. But now, this kind of image is happening in front of her eyes, on the street where she was still walking in the morning. It hasn't happened in front of her yet, but Ji Hanying can't accept it, those are all living lives, not the data of the game, the text in the novel, or the setting on TV.

In this kind of cultivation realm, did she really accept it?

[Host, please don't think too much about extraneous factors. 】

Xiaoxing's voice sounded, the voice that would normally make her feel reassured, but now the words she said were cold and unusually cold.

"They... It's a living person, what... How can it be called an irrelevant factor? ”

[But they really have nothing to do with the host, and caring too much will have an impact on your Dao heart. 】

Xiaoxing's tone was full of doubt.

"Just leave it alone... I know I don't have the strength, but..."

[In my opinion, this kind of behavior makes no difference between you killing animals? 】

"How can there be no difference! They... They're human. ”

[Is it true that a person must be noble, and can't he be killed?] The cultivation realm is the weakest and the strongest, this is a normal thing. If you must dwell on this kind of thing, I will seal this part of your memory out of consideration for your future practice. 】

“... I see, you made me think about it. ”

Ji Hanying shrunk into the bed and hugged her knees - this was the position she felt safest.

At the same time, the residence of the Elder of the Tianyan Sect

A tall and thin man in a green shirt looked at the slightly glowing emerald blue jade plaque in his hand, and his expression was indistinguishable.

If there were a high-level member of the Tianyan Sect who saw it, they would recognize that this was the lifecard of the Suchen Fairy who sacrificed three thousand years ago. At the beginning, after the Suchen Fairy sacrificed himself in order to seal the Demon Realm, the life card was also broken, and after it was finally repaired, it has been enshrined in the Valhalla used by the Tianyan Sect to commemorate the monks of the past dynasties who have made great achievements, but now it appears in the hands of a guest elder.

This jade plaque was lit up once more than a month ago, but the time was too short, and it was extinguished before it could be tracked. For more than a month, he had been trying to find a way to make it light again, and finally today there was a faint light again.

Set up the tracking circle, to the west?

He wanted to see what it was, reincarnation? That kind of thing is only a fool to believe, dead is dead, not cherished before death, and only after death to find a way to remedy.

Scold.
