Chapter 368: Soup at the city gate, disaster is flying

Looking at each other from a distance of a few miles, the city wall is as high as ten zhang, the dragon is standing in a tiger, the city gate is majestic and majestic, and the shock is small.

That is the Holy City, where the imperial veins are located, in the middle of heaven and earth, where spiritual energy meets.

There are endless masters here, and the disciples of the Star Academy are famous all over the world, preaching in all directions. 30,000 guards guarded the city, and the eight knights in front of the emperor rectified the people's customs and severely punished all lawbreakers. When the strong people from other places come here, they have to restrain their majesty and be honest with their tails between their legs.

Most of the treasures of the world are gathered here, and just an ordinary family may also hide priceless heirlooms. In the eyes of the residents of the Holy City, the wealthy gentry from other places are just buns who have never seen the world.

And the most well-informed place in the world is also here.

Whether it is the gossip about the whereabouts of the playboy, or the perverse behavior of the Black Sword Saint, or the changes in the "Heroic List", you can get first-hand news in the Holy City.

Before Jiang Chen entered the city, he heard passers-by mention his name.

"Have you heard, the latest issue of "Heroes List" has come out, and "Cherish the Playboy" Jiang Chen is bold and has committed another big crime!"

"Ahh Which unlucky girl was murdered this time? ”

"It's the Jizo Venerable of the Futu Sect!"

"Oh my God, he can't even ...... Jizo"

"No, it's mad!"

"Is there no one to cure him?"

"I heard that the ancestor of the Wei family appeared and the Jiuyao cold spear reappeared in the world, but he still didn't stop him! He pressed Jizo to the top of the city in front of all the people in the city, and then committed the crime while listening to Jizo's screams, and the evil laughter could be heard from thirty miles away......"

"That's arrogant! It's wicked! That's how a husband should be......"

"When is that so?"

"Well, I mean, sooner or later, this kind of person who hurts nature and reason will be punished!"

Gao Yue led the horse and walked slowly, nodding in agreement: "I heard it with my own ears, the screams that came from the city that day were really miserable!" ”

Jiang Chen: "......"

A mile from the city gate, a large crowd of people had gathered in front of them, dressed in rags, in two lines, and talking about something with great joy.

"What are they doing?" Jiang Chen asked Gao Yue.

"It must be some kind person who is giving rice porridge to the refugees!" Gao Yue was surprised and said, "But there weren't so many people before, so I might have given more things today!" ”

"Refugees?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "Are these people refugees?" ”

"Of course, you didn't see them dressed so torn!"

"Not necessarily." Jiang Chen looked over one by one, feeling that at least thirty percent of them were martial artists who had experienced the battle formation, even if they were not tall and burly, and they were wearing patched clothes that didn't fit, but that fierce courage from the inside out couldn't hide from his eyes.

Refugee? If the refugees are so powerful, even if they don't rise up, they must gather together!

"Eh, what do you care so much about, does it have anything to do with us? Let's go! Gao Yue quickened his pace and urged.

Jiang Chen kept up with Gao Yue, and no longer looked at those people, and secretly sneered in his heart.

The big families in this holy city have to invite someone to come over and put on a show even for a porridge......

Walking past the line, the conversation of the refugees drifted into his ears:

"Miss Chen Gongzi Lin is really a bodhisattva! This is the third soup kitchen, right? ”

"Of course! It's going to be 10 days in a row! Let's all thank Chen Gongzi and his wife for their great kindness! ”

"Chen Gongzi is really blessed, Miss Lin is kind and beautiful, just like a fairy in the sky, I really don't know how many lifetimes of blessings can I marry her......"

Jiang Chen listened curiously, glanced at the soup kitchen in front of him, and saw Miss Lin's appearance clearly through the crowd, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen.

It's actually Lin Xi!

Is she getting married?

The high-crowned brocade boy who accompanied her was her husband?

That's fast! It's only been more than two months since we were separated from each other in the Nether Forest......

I heard Gao Yue say: "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be Miss Lin!" When I came out of the Holy City, there were rumors that Chen Gongzi was going to join the Lin family, and it turned out to be true! ”

Jiang Chen looked at the two of them from afar, his brows first furrowed slightly, then he stretched out, and said with a smile: "Are they already married?" ”

"Probably not yet, but it's probably going to be soon. Look at the current scene, it will become a fact! In the Holy City, if you think something should happen, it will happen. Alas! Gao Yue said and shook his head.

"What are you sighing for?"

"I think it's a bit of a pity! When Miss Lin was in the Star Academy, I don't know how many talented and handsome people pursued her, and even His Majesty inquired about her. Our family originally thought that the Lang Jun she was going to marry should not be said to be a character on the "Yingjie List", at least among the seven great families. I didn't expect ......" As he spoke, Gao Yue suddenly glanced at Jiang Chen vigilantly, "You don't want to attack her, do you?" ”

"You're overthinking......"

The two led their horses across the soup kitchen, crossed the stone bridge over the moat, walked into the city gate hole, and waited in line to enter the city.

Just after Jiang Chen and Gao Yue walked by, Lin Xi in the pavilion suddenly turned his face to look, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen's back, his eyebrows slightly locked, and his heart was restless.

"Ah Xi, what's wrong?" Chen Yu noticed her different color and asked softly with concern.

He was a swordsman with a high crown of brocade, a heroic appearance, and a calm momentum on his body.

"I like I saw a friend." Lin Xi stared at the man at the city gate, didn't have time to turn around, and replied softly.

At this time, Jiang Chen was looking up at the speckled monuments on the city wall.

Lin Xi felt a palpitation like an electric current rushing through from his ordinary action, which made her almost unable to help trembling.

She abruptly dropped her bag and jumped down the steps, trying to clear the crowd, but was surrounded by a large group of refugees disguised as guards, and finally had to give up.

She watched Jiang Chen's team advance little by little, and was about to enter the city, but she couldn't break through the shackles in front of her, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Miss? Miss? ”

Lin Xi ignored the surrounding noise, rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, and suddenly saw the man at the city gate turn his face and glance at him.

He is a middle-aged man with a sallow face.

Not him......

The fire in her heart was like being extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Jiang Chen didn't have a special expression, he just glanced at it, and was urged by Gao Yue to enter the city.

Lin Xi closed his eyes in disappointment.

Chen Yu held Lin Xi's arm and asked softly, "Ah Xi, your face is not very good, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

"That friend of yours ......"

"It's not him, I recognized the wrong person."

"Would you like to take a break?"

"No need, go back."

With Chen Yu's support, Lin Xi returned to the soup kitchen, maintained a smile, and continued to give gifts to the refugees.

Jiang Chen and Gao Yue paid the entrance tax to the city, came out through the two female walls, and suddenly opened up in front of them.

This is the first prosperous place on earth.

Gao Yue didn't seem to be doing well in the palace, and no one came to greet him after coming and going for thousands of miles. He went back to the palace by himself to resume his life, while Jiang Chen went to the post house and waited for the summons of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

Morning.

It's not dawn yet.

Jiang Chen fell asleep in the post house, and suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

The vigilance of the cultivators will not be unreasonable, the only thing that is certain is that there is danger approaching.

He sat up, leaned against the rail, and gradually scattered his thoughts, cautiously searching the surrounding area for movement.

The outside of the house seemed to be soaked in warm water, it was quiet, and as soon as the mind went out, it encountered a sticky obstacle, and it was difficult to move forward - there was a formation outside that isolated the exploration of spiritual spells!

If it were someone else, he would have become blind with his eyes open. But Jiang Chen is different from others after all. He controlled his telekinesis, divided the spirit bundle into smaller filaments, and then through the gap in the operation of the formation, he slowly poked his head out, and heard the movement that was deliberately obscured-

"Beep beep bo", like a flame burning;

Many footsteps walked back and forth, accompanied by the clatter of iron armor on the ground, a distance of more than two miles;

A few people were talking in low voices;

The sound of the wind, crying, wheezing, and heartbeat all came into his ears, and Jiang Chen concentrated his mind and sketched the outlines of the pictures in his mind;

The air flow was surging rapidly, dust was flying in the stone walls, and there was a sound like magma bubbling underground, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Many people gathered around this side, and judging from their aura, all of them were elite warriors, presumably the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City.

Jiang Chen secretly thought that his identity was sensitive, and if he was surrounded by those Qiu Ba who ate the emperor's grain, he would have to spend a lot of time. Just stay away first, so as not to toss with them.

Thinking like this, he immediately got up in his clothes, pushed open the door and walked out, and found that there was already someone standing there in front of the window of the hallway.

"Why don't you leave?" Jiang Chen asked.

The man turned around, it was a strong man with a big beard, he glanced at Jiang Chen, and pointed out the window: "Both streets have been blocked, and now it is difficult for even a sparrow to fly out." ”

Jiang Chen's gaze looked over his shoulder, and he could vaguely see the long dragon-like torch procession in the distance, as well as the terrifying sound of swords unsheathed.

"If you don't go, don't get in the way, I'm leaving."

"Little one, you're new here, aren't you?"

"You can see that, too?"

The bearded man laughed twice: "The holy city is not as good as other places!" Wait obediently in the post house, at most you will be interrogated twice, you have to force your way through, in case you are caught, it will be more than just a layer of skin! ”

"Is it so powerful?"

"If you don't believe Lao Tzu, you can give it a try."

Jiang Chen smiled, thinking that this beard looked a bit of a good thing, and he would make some friends with him for a while and let him take him out.

But he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears, and his face changed slightly.

He had heard that sound before, like the sound of magma bubbling underground, and now the pool of magma seemed to be boiling, bubbles rolling, sparks splashing, erupting heat waves from time to time, as if it was about to explode......

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a scream rang out.

The whole post house shook for a while, and Jiang Chen found that the house had really exploded.

The center of the inn suddenly exploded, sawdust and stones flew everywhere, and thick smoke boiled through.

The floor where Jiang Chen was standing staggered, and the rushing air rushed behind him, about to throw him out.

He took advantage of this momentum and stepped out of the window.

The bearded man slipped out one step ahead of Jiang Chen.

The two of them slipped down in the night wind one after the other, and when they heard the screams of countless people behind them, the crowd boiled like a fried pot.

Chaos began in the distance, the streets were covered in thick smoke, and only the figures were longing, several figures quickly changed positions in the smoke, and the sound of blades clashing sounded one after another.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, dozens of figures rushed up and surrounded Jiang Chen and the bearded man.

Everyone who came was wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives.

This is a violent team known for its brutality.

When the bearded man saw the dozens of crossbow arrows shining with cold light on the opposite side, he didn't say a word, and obediently stretched out his hands and asked the other party to put shackles on him.

Jiang Chen hesitated.

If he wants to leave, even if ten thousand arrows are fired, he is not afraid, but when he first came to the Holy City, he was so high-profile, would he be slapped in the face by the masters?

Look at people's beards, and their skills are quite good, but people are as honest as mice and cats......

It was this hesitation that a brocade-clothed warrior had already stepped forward, and he couldn't help but put a shackle on Jiang Chen's hands that seemed to be made of some kind of wood.

Jiang Chen looked down at the shackles, the purple-brown material, carved with a bullfighting pattern, and the ornamentation was quite exquisite, as if it was an art treasure from a famous artist. With this kind of thing, can you really lock a Xuangang master?

He didn't hide the suspicion on his face, and looked to the side again, several brocade-clothed warriors staring at him all sneered, and their different expressions all expressed the same meaning: If you want to break free by brute force, you kid can give it a try!

Jiang Chen's arms opened slightly, testing the toughness of the shackles, and a very low voice with a beard floated in his ears: "These shackles are made of the East China Sea Dragon Descending Wood, which is hard to heal gold and iron, and the sword is difficult to hurt, so don't waste your strength." ”

Jiang Chen knew that what the bearded man said was true, so he obediently lowered his arm and turned his head to look in the direction where another voice came from.

Two figures, one black and one white, appeared in his field of vision.

The two jumped down from mid-air and found themselves surrounded by many brocade-clothed warriors, they couldn't help but be taken aback, brandished two spears, put on a defensive posture back to back, and shouted: "It turned out to be the lackeys of the official family, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually blocked our way in black and white!" ”

"You can show off your might in front of ordinary people, and you are unlucky to bump into our black and white heroes!"

"Our brother is angry, even he will be afraid!" The young man in black unleashed the red tassel gun.

"This time, I will show you the power of the two guns!" The white-shirted young man held the bright silver gun in both hands and shook it.

"Eat my Tiangang 36 Yin Yang Gun Array-"

The two shouted in unison, waving their guns with "swish", but seeing the cold light, the shadow of the gun flickered, as if dozens or hundreds of spears appeared at the same time, just like a phoenix shaking its wings, making a "crackling" sound of breaking the air, protecting the two in the middle, the end of the door was closed, and the water could not enter.

The Golden Emblem Commander looked at it expressionlessly for a few seconds, then raised his right hand: "Take it!" ”

"Whoa!" Several of the brocade-clad warriors on all sides answered in unison.

I saw six or seven figures rushing out of the gap in the queue of brocade-clothed warriors with bows and arrows, divided from all directions, jumped into the air, and interspersed and staggered, after the figures changed, Qiang Qiang Qiang drew his sword out of the sheath, and surrounded and suppressed the two gunmen below in the air with the momentum of the Big Dipper.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes, only to feel that the movement of these seven people was secretly in line with the position of the Five Elements Bagua, and contained countless follow-up changes, the seven of them joined hands to attack, sealing all the ways of life in an instant, and ordinary martial artists might not even be able to stop it.
