033 Prepare for leaving Lianyun City
If you want to say where you can get all kinds of news without spending money, and it can not be noticeable, the first thing to bear the brunt of is Chengdongfang City.
Chengdongfang City is a fang market, and it is also an excellent place for boring casual cultivation and chatting and exchange.
Chen Ping wants to know how much yesterday's events have fermented, of course, he has to go to Chengdongfang City.
In the market, it is still very lively.
Chen Ping squatted on the side of the road, put the copy of "Nine Swords of the Breeze" on the stall and pretended to sell it, and easily broke into a group of chatting monks.
In fact, there is no need to deliberately inquire, because most of the issues in Fang City are focused on Qi Jianglun.
"Hey, don't you know, the fire burned all over the sky, and even the two houses next to it burned down."
"Brother Ben also heard that if it weren't for the arrival of two Daoists who knew water spells at the end, I'm afraid that all the houses in that row would have to be burned down."
"Is Qi Jianglun dead?"
"Who knows? The last few corpses that were fished out had already been charred, and their faces were beyond recognition, so how could they still recognize them? ”
"I heard that it is Qi Jianglun's corpse."
"You can't live by doing your own evil, Qi Jianglun has been a trick over the years. Do you remember last year's Wang Daoyou? made a good hand of talisman skin, and then disappeared inexplicably, and many people privately rumored that it was Qi Jianglun's hand. ”
"He, if he hadn't lived next to Boss Zhou's house, I'm afraid someone would have attacked him a long time ago. This time, he was able to encounter hard stubble. ”
“......”
"This Lianyun City, there is really no good day, such things have happened." Chen Ping sighed quietly.
The best way to break into the masses is to open your own wounds, complain about the hardships of your life, and give others a sense of superiority.
Sure enough, immediately after his words, a monk answered.
"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that the city defense guards have spoken, and this time they will not give up until they find out the truth. It is said that someone saw the arsonist last night. ”
"It is said that those apprentices of Qi Jianglun, who have cultivated to a high level, have all been questioned one by one this morning. The same goes for his gamblers. ”
"Brother Ben has a friend who is on duty in the city defense, and I heard that in fact, the city defense wants to make a big deal small, but it is said that the gambling house has put a lot of pressure on the city defense and has to investigate."
“......”
Casinos?
Chen Ping paused for a moment.
What does it have to do with gambling houses?
But he couldn't help but still didn't ask, focusing on listening, and it was easy to lose if he asked too much.
"What does it have to do with the casino?" A bald monk asked Chen Ping's doubts.
Thank you for your trip... Chen Ping said silently.
"I don't know, it is said that Qi Jianglun still owes a lot of spirit stones to the gambling house, maybe the gambling house is unwilling to collect the account."
It shouldn't be.
In this case, the gambling house can generally recover Qi Jianglun's property. If the murderer is found, there may not be a spirit stone to pay off the debts of the gambling house.
Can you put pressure on the city's defense?
Could it be that the power of the gambling house is so strong that it competes with the city defense?
Or is there something else going on?
"How powerful is the casino?" The bald monk asked again.
Good brother... Chen Ping waved his hand in his heart and thanked him.
"Who knows? No one knows who the owner of the gambling house is until now, and it is very hidden. ”
"Hey, I'm afraid there is no Ansheng in Lianyun City."
"It's better to stay in the house, this monk gave birth to a daughter a few days ago, with clear eyebrows and fair skin, that's called a good-looking mile." A crooked-mouthed, swarthy monk said.
“......”
Seeing that everyone's chat topics began to deviate, Chen Ping lost Yaxing, who continued to chat.
I silently summarized what I had just heard:
1. The city defense has already begun to investigate, and it will not stop until the truth is discovered.
Second, Qi Jianglun's identity is not simple.
3. Qi Jianglun's apprentices and gamblers became the first batch of suspects.
All three of these are very unfriendly to themselves.
It seems that we have to prepare as soon as possible.
Of course.
There are also factors in his favor.
1. Qi Jianglun's reputation is not very good, which means that there are many people who want to kill him, whether it is to look at him unpleasantly, or to seek money and kill him.
Second, his cultivation is very low and he has not been exposed. And Qi Jianglun's cultivation is very high, so he is not easy to be suspected.
If the identity of the monk with facial paralysis is investigated, he will not be suspicious.
3. The caravan will come in five days, and then it will be able to leave. After that, it doesn't matter if it is investigated again.
What's more, once the case is suspected in the direction of 'arson', those who know how to fireball will bear the brunt of suspicion.
And I, no.
Within five days, most of the time I couldn't find my head.
'Five days, fleeting. What I need to do is to quietly prepare to leave within these five days. ’
'I can't tell anyone in advance about this departure, including He Xianxiang. It's good to leave silently. ’
Chen Ping was clear about the current situation and what he was going to do next, but he didn't feel nervous.
Just treat it with a normal heart.
"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this "Breeze Nine Swords"?" The voice of a monk begging for an ancient book rang in his ears.
Chen Ping came back to his senses:
"5 spirit stones."
Monk Wanted: ......
"You..., as expensive as the firm's price? How can there be a Taoist friend who sells ancient books like this? The monk was obviously very knowledgeable, and got up dissatisfied.
"I've got a note here, and it's great value for money." Chen Ping gave an explanation.
The monk walked away with a black face.
Chen Ping laughed hoarsely and left.
It doesn't matter if he buys it or not, he doesn't really sell it, and he hasn't finished his cultivation yet.
......
Inside the city.
Registered stores.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any books like geography?" After Chen Ping left Chengdongfang City, he went directly to the business in the city.
Chen Ping, the name of this business, has been here a few times, and it was here that he bought the "Bone Transfer and Replacement Law". It is the largest antique shop in the city.
"Geography? Fellow Daoist waits. The shopkeeper turned around and rummaged through the shelves for a while, and then shook his head: "No, no, there is no customer in our store for a long time to buy a book on geography, and it is estimated that it is out of stock." ”
Chen Ping had some regrets.
Objectively speaking, in the more than 100 years since the establishment of Lianyun City, there has never been any major crisis.
Don't look at the days when many people sigh that Lianyun City didn't live in peace, but the days here are actually much better than in many places.
In the long run, many monks have become accustomed to life here, and they no longer have the flesh to continue to go out and explore the mysterious universe.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer useless books such as geography.
But just as Chen Ping was about to leave, the shopkeeper said:
"Oh, what a blessing for fellow Daoists. I found one, the last one in our store. ”
Chen Ping is happy, habitually inquire first:
"How much?"
"The last one, it's a friend, 50 taels of gold will sell you."
This...
... This friend is settled.
Chen Ping was not negotiating, he decisively gave the gold, took the book and left.
When passing by a medicinal herb shop, Chen Ping wanted to buy some medicinal herbs and go back to soak himself in them, which might help him recover from his internal injuries as soon as possible.
But at this time, buying these medicinal materials was too eye-catching, so I gave up.
It's better to be safe and let yourself recover slowly.
Then I went to the butcher shop to buy ten catties of demon beast meat, and unsurprisingly found that the price of demon beast meat had been reduced again, and now 1 spirit stone can buy a full 15 catties of demon beast meat, which is outrageously cheap.
At this price, you don't need to eat spiritual rice, and you can stew demon beast meat every day.
It seems that there are more monsters in the forest.
But none of this has anything to do with me, I'm about to leave the city and go to the big city.
Chen Ping was in an indifferent mood.
