Chapter 123: The Beggar
Then the four of Changyue wandered around Zhulu City again, appreciated the style of this big city, purchased some supplies by the way, and then found an inn to stay for one night.
Zhulu City is worthy of being a big city, the price is much higher than Mingyue City, a not very high-end inn, a first-class room costs five taels of silver a night, and this does not include food.
After paying the money, Han Yuanqi said dissatisfiedly: "This is no different from robbing money." ”
At this time, a passing warrior whispered: "Girl Shenyan, all the inns in this Zhulu City are run by the City Lord's Mansion, if you let the city guards hear your words, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”
Hearing this, Han Yuanqi's mouth opened wide in surprise, and Changyue and Lin Miaoxue were also surprised.
"I didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to control Zhulu City to this point." Lin Miaoxue said with a sigh, although she had heard of Bai Yuanfeng's name a long time ago, it was the first time she had come to Zhulu City.
"I'll just say that what kind of bullshit city lord is selling his reputation, eighty percent of his good reputation is blown out by himself, and the whole city is under his strict control, it's not that what he says is what!" Afraid of causing trouble for his master, Tsing Yi deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"Alright, let's go settle first!" Saying that, Changyue turned around and walked towards the Tianzi No. 1 room that he had booked upstairs, all the Tianzi rooms in this inn were first-class rooms.
When Lin Miaoxue heard this, the three of them hurriedly followed.
The four of them booked two rooms, Changyue and Tsing Yi in one room, Tsing Yi couldn't be too far away from Changyue, so they could only sleep in one room with her, and Lin Miaoxue and Han Yuanqi in one room.
Except for the two first-class rooms on the second floor of this inn, no one booked the other one except for the two rooms they booked, which shows that their price is unacceptable to ordinary people.
This inn is so outrageous, and I don't know what the other inns are like.
After settling in, the four of them came downstairs for dinner, of course, eating dinner is not the point, to see if they can hear any special news, this is their main purpose.
After ordering a few signature dishes in the store, Changyue and the others sat by the window, eating while listening to the guests chatting, and the most talked about was naturally tomorrow's exotic beast exhibition.
Sword Monarch Bai Yuanfeng, Alien Beast Wind Thunder Beast, the gimmick can be said to be full.
At this moment, an old beggar covered in dirt walked into the store, and the shopkeeper was busy greeting customers and didn't notice him for a while.
The old beggar looked left and right in the hall, and finally stopped in front of Changyue and the others, staring at the pot of wine on the table.
This wine was ordered by Han Yuanqi, and she heard the shopkeeper say that the wine in their inn was a must-have in Zhulu City, so she couldn't help but order a pot.
Don't look at Han Yuanqi's age, but he is a good wine, and when he heard that there was wine, he suddenly couldn't walk.
It's a pity that after tasting the wine, she was disappointed, what is a must in the city, it is clearly swill, this black-hearted shopkeeper!
This pot of wine is worth a tael of silver! This inn is the real estate of the city lord's mansion, if it weren't for the fear of causing trouble, Han Yuanqi would have flipped the table a long time ago.
In the end, no one touched the pot.
"You want this jug?" Noticing the old beggar's gaze, Changyue asked.
The old beggar nodded without saying a word.
Seeing this, Changyue looked at Han Yuanqi, the wine was Han Yuanqi's, even if she didn't drink Changyue, there was no reason to take it and give it away.
Han Yuanqi didn't mind pushing the wine jug out, "Here you go, here you go, what's so good about this swill, it's not a waste to throw it away." ”
The old beggar immediately hugged the flask with joy.
Seeing him like this, Han Yuanqi smiled and said: "You old beggar is strange, everyone begs for food, but you are here to beg for wine, this wine is not Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew, can you still fill your stomach?" ”
The old beggar stared at the jug without saying a word.
At this time, the shopkeeper finally noticed the old beggar, and he came over angrily, "Why are you old guy again?" Get out of here, this is not the place for you, and if you bump into a guest, be careful that I break your legs! ”
The shopkeeper scolded and pushed the old beggar, the old beggar staggered, the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, he did not hesitate at all, he directly fell to the ground and began to lick it.
"Hey~" The shopkeeper was very angry, and lifted him up with the old beggar's collar, "You old guy!" ”
Changyue and the others watched the shopkeeper start to beat the old beggar, but they didn't stop it, people want to drive away the beggars in the store, it is understandable, and the beggars can't be allowed to affect the business.
It's just that he didn't expect the old beggar to stumble to Changyue after being punched by the shopkeeper, and Changyue subconsciously supported him.
It was only when she held the old beggar's wrist that she looked at the old beggar's face in surprise, but his face was dirty, and she couldn't see anything.
Waiting for the old beggar to stand up, Changyue quietly withdrew his hand.
Seeing that the old beggar collided with the guest, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to apologize, "The guest forgives the sin, the guest forgives the sin, the little one didn't mean it!" ”
"It's okay!" Changyue waved her hand.
"Thank you, thank you!" Xiao Er hurriedly kowtowed to Changyue and thanked him.
In this case, if the guest is investigated, his job may not be guaranteed, especially if the guest is a martial artist.
Lin Miaoxue and Han Yuanqi both carry swords with them and dress very carefully, so it is easy to see their identities as warriors.
In Zhulu City, the status of ordinary people is very, very low, and they are inferior people in front of martial artists, this is not like the special situation of Mingyue City, Mingyue City is now only left with martial artists, but here it is a mix of martial artists and ordinary people.
The shopkeeper is an ordinary person.
The shopkeeper got up and was about to pull the old beggar away, but Changyue suddenly stopped him, "Wait! ”
"Guest, what else do you command?" The shopkeeper turned around and said respectfully to Changyue.
Changyue threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper and said, "Give him a bath, change into clean clothes, and prepare some food and a pot of fine wine for him." ”
"This ......" the shopkeeper was stunned.
"What? Having a hard time? Changyue asked.
"I didn't ...... No! The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his smile again and replied, "The little one will go and do it for you, and I promise that it will be done properly for you!" ”
The moment he pulled the old beggar around, the shopkeeper looked puzzled, shouldn't there be a problem with this girl's brain? Why do you care about an old beggar?
The old beggar had been wandering the streets of Zhulu City for more than twenty years, and almost everyone in the neighborhood knew him.
It's just that I didn't expect this old beggar to have good luck today and meet a nobleman!
Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave with the old beggar, Tsing Yi looked at his master suspiciously, "Girl, is there anything special about that beggar?" ”
Lin Miaoxue and Han Yuanqi also looked at Changyue curiously when they heard this.
"It's a little special, let's take a look first!" Changyue said with a smile.
Lin Miaoxue and Han Yuanqi couldn't help but be more curious when they saw Changyue's mysterious look, but seeing that Changyue had no plans to say more, they didn't continue to ask.
After dinner, Changyue and the others sat in the inn hall for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Changyue had nothing to do, so she sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated and cultivated, while Tsing Yi was reading a book on the side.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door.
"Girl, the old beggar has been cleaned up, what should I do?"
"Bring him in!" Changyue opened her eyes and said.
"Yes!"
As the door was pushed open, the shopkeeper led an old man with gray hair, a rickety body, and dull eyes walked in.
"You get out!" Changyue said to the shopkeeper.
"Yes!"
The shopkeeper arched his hand and exited the room full of doubts.
Changyue got off the bed, walked to the table and sat down, and then motioned to the old beggar, "Please take a seat." ”
After some grooming, the old beggar looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The old beggar didn't squeak, and sat down on the stool opposite Changyue obediently.
"Hold your hand out." Changyue said again.
The old beggar was very obedient, and he would do whatever Changyue asked him to do, but his eyes were always dull, like a fool.
Changyue put her hand on the old man's wrist, and after probing it, she asked him again, "Don't you mind if I use my true qi to check your body?" ”
The old beggar kept his head down and kept silent.
"Then I'll take your consent."
After saying that, Changyue controlled her true qi and entered the old beggar's body, and the condition of the old beggar's body was similar to what she guessed.
"The meridians of the whole body are broken!"
"There is a strange poison, and the broken meridians should be caused by poisoning!"
"Poison is not fatal, but it can bring endless pain to people, you drink to relieve the pain in your body, right?"
"Originally, it was supposed to be a martial artist at the peak strength of the Great Zhou Heaven Realm!"
Every time Changyue said a word, there was a trace of fluctuation in the old beggar's eyes.
After a while, Changyue had a surprised look on her face, because she had discovered something that had surprised her extremely well.
"You...... has already divided into a primordial god! ”
As soon as Changyue's words came out, the old beggar suddenly raised his head and looked at Changyue in surprise, with emotion in his eyes for the first time.
"It seems that you were hacked in the process of breaking through the innate realm!" Changyue withdrew her hand, looked at the old beggar with a smile and said.
This made Changyue a little curious about the identity of the old beggar, breaking through the innate realm requires Heaven and Earth Source Qi, the old beggar's situation has obviously used Heaven and Earth Source Qi, but it was just a failure to break through by someone.
So where did his Heaven and Earth Source Qi come from?
There are three levels of the innate realm of human warriors, which are the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, and the Unity of Heaven and Man.
The three flowers in the top of the three flowers refer to the ceiling, the earth flower and the human flower, respectively, and correspond to the human essence, qi, and spirit, when the three flowers gather at the top, the warrior will give birth to the original god, which is the first step in cultivating the innate body.
The alien beasts do not cultivate the primordial gods, so naturally there is no step of gathering the top of the three flowers.
The second stage of the innate realm refers to the chaotic true qi in the martial artist's body that begins to evolve into the five elements, that is, the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appear, but in the end, only one attribute will be left, and the rest of the attributes will all be transformed into an attribute that is most suitable for the martial artist's physique according to the principle of the five elements.
This process is known as the Five Qi Dynasty.
Except for some martial artists who practice special exercises, the general martial artists are at this step, and the true qi in the body will have attributes, and after evolving the attributes, the true qi of the martial artists will become more pure.
The true qi in the body of the alien beast is inherently possessed with attributes, such as the ice water of Jin Shuangshuang and the poison wood of red jade...... Therefore, they naturally do not exist in the stage of the Five Qi Dynasty.
The last stage of the innate realm is to let the primordial spirit and the true qi merge, reach the point where the future heaven returns to the innate body, and achieve the true innate body, so it is called the unity of heaven and man.
The old beggar's body has been born, but there is no return, that is, entering the god's cave, and the spirit does not return, which means that it cannot really enter the innate realm.
The return of the Yuan Shen needs to pass through the meridians of the whole body, and his meridians have been destroyed, so the Yuan Shen naturally cannot return to the body.
Changyue pondered for a while and said, "Although your problems are difficult to solve, it is not impossible for me. ”
"Really...... Target? ”
The old beggar finally spoke, he looked at Changyue with burning eyes, but he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and ugly, like the sound of sawing wood.
"True, of course, but what's in it for me to help you?" Changyue said nonchalantly.
The old beggar fell to his knees and said word by word in a hoarse voice, "Please...... Girl...... Help...... Help me, life...... Here you go! ”
The old beggar did not doubt Changyue's ability, since Changyue could accurately say all the problems in his body, then he must have the ability.
Changyue looked at the old beggar, people can indeed accept it, because as long as she cures him, then she can immediately get a master of the innate realm.
Cangyue Pavilion has a late development time, and the background is insufficient, and such a master is needed, only the development of Cangyue Pavilion is strong enough to bring her enough luck.
"Get up first." Changyue said to the old beggar.
Hearing this, the old beggar slowly stood up and returned to the stool at Changyue's signal.
"I can take you and save you, but I have to know who you are, right? I don't know what you call it? ”
"White ...... Yuan...... Even. The old man replied.
"Bai Yuanqi?" Changyue raised her eyebrows, "What is your relationship with Bai Yuanfeng?" ”
Hearing the name Bai Yuanfeng, Bai Yuanqi suddenly trembled, his eyes became blood-red, and his teeth were even more clumsy.
"Iniquity...... Obstruct! ”
After holding it for a long time, Bai Yuanqi only held back these two words, and Changyue saw that he was talking so hard, so he simply said:
"Forget it, forget it, I'll help you detoxify it first, you sort out your thoughts, and tell me when your tongue is straightened."
Bai Yuanqi, Bai Yuanfeng...... This is the two brothers, thinking of the rumors related to Bai Yuanfeng, Changyue actually has a guess in his heart about Bai Yuanqi's identity.
"Thank you...... Xie ......" Bai Yuanqi squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
He hadn't spoken for more than twenty years, and it wasn't easy to get the words smooth for a while.
To help Bai Yuanqi detoxify, Changyue still needs to prepare something, this person has been poisoned for too long, and the toxin has taken root in his body, if he is not fully prepared, it will not be detoxification, but death.
Taking out the alchemy furnace, Changyue asked Tsing Yi to give him a hand, and then began alchemy.
