209 The deceased at the Luobu site gathered in Suli to collect the ice source
The ruins of Luobu City were not as uninhabited as Fang Lin and the others had imagined, on the contrary, they could hear the chaotic shouting from a long distance, which was not much better than a small and medium-sized city.
"This, is this still Rob City, or the city that was trampled into ruins by snow beasts more than a year ago!?" Qu Shan'er opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief.
"It's indeed Rob City, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's just a big change." Li Haoran said.
"The ruins of such a big building, why can't you see them at all now, it doesn't make sense at all!" Ayinata said.
Bai Lian snorted and covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Ah Yin, there is a three-zhang high city wall here, how can you see what is inside?" ”
"Hehe, there is no doubt that this is Rob City, and the importance of this city is irreplaceable for the Sangkun Ministry, so the snow beast tide will inevitably rebuild this city as soon as it passes, so there is no need to be surprised." Fang Lin said with a smile.
"Boy, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that you happened to participate in the once-in-a-millennium snow beast tide battle in Rob City more than a year ago!?" The heavens are scattered in an unbelievable way.
"Hehe, don't you believe it, old man?" Princess Xiangxiang said playfully.
"Yes, although we all realized that it would definitely be a very terrifying snow beast tide at that time, we didn't expect that it would be so terrifying that it was not something that human beings could compete with, and even the ice phoenix personally dispatched it." Fang Lin said with emotion.
"Boy, tell me quickly, how did you escape, you must know that the ice phoenix is a fourth-level spirit beast, it is said that the people who escaped in that snow beast tide can be said to be almost one in a million, and even the city lord and other generals at that time were killed in battle." Piyan Flyway.
"Well, let's find a place to settle down first." Fang Lin said with a smile, and then led everyone towards the city gate.
It can be seen that the original height of the city wall was definitely much higher than the current level, because the gate was not capped, and judging by its width, the gate seems to be twice as high.
A hundred-person Sangkun soldier maintained order at the city gate, Fang Lin swept his thoughts, and then showed a surprised expression, the minimum cultivation of this city gate guard turned out to be the Yin and Yang Realm, and the centurion among them was already a strong person at the entrance to the Reincarnation Realm, and the number of strong people in the Nai He Realm had also reached twelve!
"Let's come to Luobu City or the palace of the Sangkun Ministry, why do the city gate guards here have such terrifying cultivation, or is the national strength of the Sangkun Department too much higher than that of the Bour Qi Ministry, and even the Yeyue Empire can't compare!" Li Haoran said in surprise.
Fang Lin also looked extremely heavy, and frowned: "I don't know, but if you want to say that the national strength of the Sangkun Sect is stronger than that of the Bur Qi Tribe, it is absolutely impossible, otherwise they will not have such a big loss during the trip to the Hidden Heaven Valley, let alone take refuge in the Yeyue Empire." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, but when everyone was progressing, they were stopped by a soldier and said: "You have just escaped from the Bur Qi Department, hmph, no wonder you don't know the rules, each person needs to pay a hundred high-grade yuan crystals to enter the city!" ”
Everyone's hearts were shocked when they heard this, and Dongfang Minghui and the others showed a raging anger in their eyes, and the momentum of the powerhouse in the life and death realm almost came out of his body, crushing the soldier to death.
Fang Lin waved his hand to stop Dongfang Minghui's anger and said coldly: "Why, is it possible that we people have just come out of the siege of the Bur Qi tribe and don't have the strength to deal with you, so we are so insulting us and others!" ”
"Cut, this rule is not for you, everyone has to be like this, and this rule has been implemented for more than half a year, and no one can violate it!" The soldier was not angry when he heard this, but said in a disdainful tone: "If you can't pay the fee or are unwilling to pay, then please take care of yourself." ”
"Hey, I said the front, you can't leave at all, don't block the door, if you don't enter the city, don't delay everyone's time here!" At this time, there was the impatient voice of the warriors in the queue from behind.
Fang Lin turned his head to look at it, and saw that the remaining rows of martial artists who had entered the city had each honestly paid a hundred top-grade Yuan Crystals, so he took out a storage bag and threw it to the soldier and said, "Here is the entrance fee for our ninety-three people!" ”
The scene in the city once again surprised everyone, although the streets in the city were cleared out, but there were piles of ruins and garbage everywhere on both sides, the original wide and sturdy masonry houses disappeared, replaced by thick yurts, even the city lord's mansion located in the north of the city is also a huge yurt, there are traces of excavation everywhere in the city, and even some potholes have not had time to fill back, there are basically no shops on the streets, However, there are post stations everywhere, and the prosperity of the past is long gone.
"Is this Rob City, how is it so depressed, this is completely inconsistent with what we see outside, but why are there so many warriors who want to come in with their heads broken?" Concubine Shu said completely incomprehensibly.
"This is the entrance fee of 100 high-grade yuan crystals per person, you must know that when we came to Luobu City, we didn't pay a single yuan crystal, and the city lord personally came to welcome us into the city." Qu Shan'er said with a puffed out look.
"Indeed, I'm afraid there are things in it that we don't know about, after all, even when we entered Arctic City before, we only needed five low-grade Yuan Crystals per person, which is still a lot, anyway, it's not much." Li Haoran said.
Gu Liyi stretched out his hand and grabbed a warrior who passed by and asked, "This friend, there seems to be something wrong with this Luobu City, can you tell us about it." ”
The man glanced at Gu Li, snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, Li Haoran immediately stepped forward, stuffed a hundred top-grade Yuan Crystals into his hand and said with a smile: "This brother, a little meaning is not respectful, please tell me about the situation in this Luobu City." ”
However, the man glanced at Li Haoran with disdain, sneered, didn't speak, and left directly, this scene made everyone stunned on the spot, never expecting such a result.
Li Haoran said: "Could it be that the quality of the martial artists of the Sangkun Department is much higher than that of the martial artists in other places, and they are not greedy for money at all?" ”
"No, have you noticed that the look in his eyes when he looks at the hundred top-grade Yuan Crystals is completely disdainful and disdainful at all, that is to say, the news he wants to say is not only a hundred high-grade Yuan Crystals at all, but far more than that!" Fang Lin Road.
"What kind of news is this, it is far more than a hundred top-grade Yuan Crystals, why don't we just inquire about the situation of the city." Wen Yue'er was surprised.
Next, Fang Lin pulled another person, gave the other party ten pieces of treasure yuan crystal, and asked the same question, however, that person still glanced at Fang Lin with an idiot look, and then turned to leave, Fang Lin did not give up, tried a few more people, and even increased the price to fifty treasure yuan crystals, however, the result was still the same.
Everyone became more and more incomprehensible, Fang Lin said: "This city is getting more and more weird, we can't find the reason for a while, let's go find an inn to settle down first, it's been a whole day, and the predecessors of Tianzheng also need time to breathe and heal." ”
There was no other way for a while, everyone had to nod, Meng Xuan suddenly said: "I don't know if the inn we stayed in before has opened, why don't we go there and see how it is, after all, ••••••"
Fang Lin waved his hand to interrupt what she was about to say and said, "This is reasonable! ”
Following the route of memory, everyone looked for a long time and finally found the right place, where at this moment was a row of huge yurts, and a sign in front of it read "Hongyun Inn".
Qu Shan'er frowned and said, "I remember that the inn we stayed in before didn't seem to be called that, but I can't remember what it was." ”
"Hehe, that inn is gone, don't care, as long as the place is right, but I guess the things we put here are gone." Fang Lin said with a smile.
Wen Yue'er said with a look of pain when she heard this: "Doesn't that mean that our mission has failed, it's a pity that we have worked hard in the past two or three years." ”
Fang Lin patted her hand and said, "Actually, we got more, as for those rewards from the imperial court, do we still need to care?" ”
When Wen Yue'er heard this, her mood improved, and she said with a smile: "That's right, but my Purple Extreme Sect is not so lucky, and the other forces that cooperate with us are even more unlucky." ”
Speaking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but sigh: "The predecessors of the Five Dragons Hall and the Kui Xing Sect have already buried their bones in other places, and the strength of these two sects is probably going to plummet a lot, and I don't know if they can withstand the blows of the Huang family and the Demon Heaven Sect." ”
"Okay, we can't manage that much, hehe, as long as we can develop quickly, besides, ••••••" Fang Lin suddenly stopped when he said this, playing with taste: "I really want to see whoever appears." ”
"What, who did you say showed up?" His nonsensical words immediately puzzled everyone.
Fang Lin didn't explain, and walked into the yurt of the Hongyun Inn with everyone, and as soon as he walked in, a guy dressed as a guy greeted him with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you staying in the hotel or are you sharp?" ”
Fang Lin smiled and pointed to a middle-aged man sitting at a table in the corner and said, "We are with him." ”
The little guy glanced at it, and immediately showed a look of disdain on his face, and said lightly: "It turns out that you are also from the Bingyuan Sect, hehe, everyone, there are so many of you, can you afford to live in the hotel?" ”
Ayinata was immediately angry when she heard this, and stepped forward and scolded: "Okay, you dog eyes look at people's low things, I think you have itchy skin and are looking for a fight, right, the garbage in the Taiji realm dares to be presumptuous in front of us!" ”
Unexpectedly, the little guy was not afraid at all, and sneered: "Don't think that if you cultivate high, you can run rampant, if you don't believe it, just try it, as long as you move me, I guarantee that you can't get out of this Luobu City!" ”
Their noise did not avoid the people present, they all cast playful glances, but more of them were gloating, waiting to see a good show, which made Fang Lin frown, and immediately stopped Ayinata's upcoming slap.
At this time, the person Fang Lin and the person they were looking for also turned around in surprise, and when their eyes fell on Fang Lin, their pupils suddenly contracted, and their bodies froze there, not knowing what to do.
Fang Lin beckoned to him and said, "Hehe, Elder Han Yue, don't come unharmed." ”
"Master Fang, you!! you're not dead" Han Yue said with a shocked expression.
"Hehe, it's almost two years since I said goodbye, but now goodbye, Elder Han Yue seems to have aged for decades, I don't know what troubles the elder has encountered?" Fang Lin said with a smile.
Just as Han Yue was about to speak, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper came over and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it is strictly forbidden to fight in Luobu City, and if there is a violation, they will be killed, so please restrain your anger so as not to bring unwarranted disasters to yourself." ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for your buddy's dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth, how would we trouble him, you, as the shopkeeper, wouldn't you discipline your buddy, so what are you doing in this business!" Qu Shan'er glared at the shopkeeper angrily.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at the little guy with his eyes like a knife, and the little guy trembled, and hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper, they are from the Bingyuan Sect, I just asked them if they could afford to pay, and they started beating people!" ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning when he heard the three words of the Bingyuan Sect, and said, "The words of the people of the Bingyuan Sect will be another matter, let's talk about it first, what is the intention of coming to this store?" ”
"Hmph, we wanted to come to the hotel, but looking at you like this, it should be a black store, so don't live there!" Qu Shan'er snorted.
"Little girl, you must know that the inns and liquor shops in the entire Rob City are all opened by the imperial court, and we are all from the imperial court, as soon as you open your mouth, you say that we are a black shop, could it be that your Bingyuan Sect really wants to rebel!?" The shopkeeper's face was hideous.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the Ice Source Sect has never meant to rebel, and they are not from my Ice Source Sect, they are just friends from the past." At this moment, Han Yue immediately ran up and explained.
"Hmph, even if you are not a person from the Ice Source Sect, you are not a good person, and all your friends from the Ice Source Sect are a group of poor ghosts!" The shopkeeper shouted at Han Yue without giving any face.
Han Yue's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper has misunderstood, he is not an ordinary person, he is ••••••"
Before Han Yue finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper's cheers: "Okay, I'm not interested in your friends, I want to eat and stay here, you can!" Pay the money first, or get out! ”
Qu Shan'er, Ayinata and the rest of the people were about to be blown up, Fang Lin stepped forward and blocked the second daughter, looked at the shopkeeper coldly and said coldly: "We are ninety-three people, plus he needs to stay here with you, how much?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Each person stays in the hotel for one night and has a hundred high-grade Yuanjing, and if you eat, our cheapest three dishes and one soup here also cost ten low-grade Yuanjing, and the best banquet noodles ... ”
Qu Shan'er immediately exploded when she heard this, and screamed: "You also said that you are not a black shop, three dishes and one soup cost ten yuan of lower grade Yuanjing, do you think we don't understand, that level of food costs a maximum of fifty copper coins is great, and the hotel is even darker, even if it was the largest and most luxurious cross-courtyard in Luobu City before, it was the price for one night, you say, where can you reach such a standard here?" ”
The shopkeeper was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "At this time and that time, do you think I am asking for a price?" If you don't believe me, you can ask this elder of the Ice Source Sect to see if I have any nonsense, hehe, this is not a place where poor ghosts can come and go at will! ”
The shopkeeper's words were full of irony, but the hint of cunning in his eyes was caught by Fang Lin, turning his head to look at Han Yue, Fang Lin asked in a cold tone: "What he said is the truth, if not, I will immediately smash this black shop!" ”
Han Yue immediately understood the meaning of Fang Lin's words, but he still smiled bitterly and said, "He's right, Luobu City has always been at this price, just look at the dishes on the tables of the surrounding martial artists." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, almost every table of dishes was very simple, and the most expensive table was only the banquet that could be eaten for two taels of silver before, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Fang Lin nodded, said no more, and directly threw out a storage bag and said, "We need to stay in the hotel for five days, and we still have the best table for me!" ”
The shopkeeper took the storage bag, the sneering look on his face did not change, slowly opened it, and suddenly his whole body was trembling, and he immediately closed the mouth of the bag, and instantly changed to a flattering smile, and said: "Please sit down, the good banquet will come soon, please rest assured, you are satisfied, haha." ”
The little guy is also a thoughtful fellow, and when he saw the change in the shopkeeper's attitude, he immediately changed his face, and diligently cleaned up his table, and a series of flattering words rolled out of his mouth like a dam opening a floodgate.
Fang Lin stepped forward and patted Han Yue's shoulder and said, "Elder Han come and sit together, it just so happens that I also have a lot of things I want to ask my seniors for." ”
Han Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, master, but just now you really shouldn't be fighting with this shopkeeper, you all say that your wealth is not exposed, and now you are afraid that you will already be in big trouble." ”
In fact, the flickering eyes of the surrounding martial artists had already been captured by Fang Lin's divine thoughts, how could these martial artists with the highest cultivation level and only the reincarnation realm be seen by Fang Lin, even the two Linghua Sect disciples with the lowest cultivation level and Yue Jiacheng in the group did not have the slightest nervousness.
Soon, Fang Lin and his party sat on ten large tables, casually laying down a few soundproof prohibitions, Fang Lin opened his mouth and asked: "Elder Han, can you tell us what the situation is in this Luobu City first, why martial artists don't seem to be greedy for money, I gave fifty treasures Yuan Jing to inquire about the situation, but no one is willing to say." ”
Han Yue said: "Don't you think it's strange that the entrance fee to this Luobu City is one hundred yuan of high-grade Yuan Jing, and all the inns and restaurants in it are at the same price, and it is absolutely not allowed to spend the night on the street at night, but why are the warriors so eager to do so?" ”
Fang Lin frowned, although he had some guesses, he still spoke, "Please also ask Elder Han for advice." ”
Han Yue didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "The great war more than a year or two ago, the master should not forget it." ”
Fang Lin nodded and said: "My four or five thousand elites have been wiped out here, Fang Lin has never had such a defeat in his life, how can he forget, if it weren't for the fact that the ice phoenix is too terrifying, I would now want to find her and kill her and avenge my dead brothers." ”
Han Yue said: "That's true, at that time, there was only one in ten thousand people who could escape from the city, and after the snow beasts ate those corpses, they were not interested in the property of the warriors at all, just after the snow beast tide completely receded, the first batch of scavengers who came here basically made a fortune, at that time it can be said that it was rich everywhere, as long as you bend down to pick it up, of course, there were also a lot of deaths, and three days later, the Sangkun Imperial Court sent a large army to come and completely control Luobu City." ”
"Oh, when it comes to looting resources, this imperial court's actions are not slow at all." Qu Shan'er said sarcastically.
"However, there are so many martial artists, aren't they afraid of big trouble if they do this, you must know that there are really top powerhouses in the scattered cultivation." Li Haoran said.
Han Yue smiled bitterly for a while: "The imperial court will naturally not be so stupid, so it has issued sky-high entry fees, sky-high prices of wine and food, and sky-high accommodation, so that high-end martial artists will not make trouble, as for those low-end martial artists, hehe." ”
"But, it's been so long, no matter how amazing the wealth is, it should have been looted, but why is it still like this?" Princess Xiangxiang said.
"That's because the greatest treasure in this place hasn't been found yet." Han Yue said.
"Oh? The biggest treasure, what's that? Fang Lin was immediately interested.
Han Yue said: "Just three months ago, in the underground of this Hongyun Inn, this shopkeeper and a few guys dug out a large number of imperial darts, a full fifty large space boxes, the seals on them are still intact, then I don't know how amazing the wealth is, the most important thing is that it is from the Shang Kingdom, and it must be all the specialties of the south, which is a valuable thing in our northern country, you don't know, the warriors present at that time were all greedy." ”
"Then where did the batch of imperial darts go later, shouldn't they be divided by all the warriors present?" Wen Yue'er said with some anger.
Han Yue glanced at Wen Yue'er in surprise, thought for a while, patted his thigh and said, "Master, could it be that those imperial darts are actually ••••••?"
Fang Lin nodded, didn't speak, just looked at him, Han Yue patted his head and said, "I said, how could the master deliberately come to this Luobu City, it turns out, but I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." ”
"Why?" Ayinata spoke.
Han Yue didn't mind that a junior would question him so directly, and said, "Because that batch of imperial darts has already fallen into the hands of the imperial court, I'm afraid it has entered the treasury now." ”
Fang Lin was not surprised by this answer, nor did he show any disappointed expression, which made Han Yue a little confused, and said, "Isn't the master not heartbroken at all about those resources that have been lost?" ”
"Hehe, even if I have heartache, they won't come back, and it's not my personal thing, it's the Shang court's, so if I want to be heartbroken, it's not me." Fang Lin said with a smile.
Han Yue suddenly felt that the junior in front of him gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through it at all, such a big fortune would be gone, even if it wasn't his own, but it was lost from his own hands, so it was impossible to be indifferent.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Fang Lin suddenly changed the topic and said, "Why is Elder Han here, could it be that he is also here for the greatest treasure, oh, by the way, you haven't said what the biggest treasure is." ”
Han Yue snorted before he said: "The biggest treasure is the secret treasure of the city treasury left by the original city lord of this Luobu City after his death and the various resources left by the two young masters of the Ashina family and the Temur family after their deaths, according to the analysis, it should be somewhere under this Luobu City, but after searching for so long, I still haven't heard of the news of the treasure unearthed, and the imperial court has issued a sky-high reward, as long as anyone can find it, the reward can directly make a big sect red." ”
Everyone realized this, but Qu Shan'er, Ayinata and the other women had strange expressions on their faces, because they knew that the so-called "greatest treasure" was on their bodies at this moment, and it was indeed a shocking wealth.
At this time, Han Yue laughed embarrassedly twice and said, "As for me, I originally wanted to try my luck, but later all the disciples I brought were sent back by me, and I also had to stay here because I owed the money to this shopkeeper, waiting for the sect to take the money to ransom me." ”
Fang Lin smiled playfully and said, "But just now I saw that their attitude towards the Bingyuan Sect was not so friendly, as the number one faction of the Sangkun Sect, how could the Bingyuan Sect be so criticized?" ”
Li Haoran was the one who could best understand Fang Lin's thoughts at the moment, and immediately smiled and said, "Elder Han, don't hide it, we are going to return to China this time, if you need any help, just say it, otherwise after we leave, there will be no chance." ”
Han Yue immediately smiled bitterly, but there was endless sadness in that laughter, after a while, he seemed to have thought about it, and then he raised his head and looked at Fang Lin and said: "Master, Han Yue has something to ask for, if he can do it, Han Yue is willing to take a group of disciples to join your sect, everything is based on the master!" ”
At this moment, the wine and food came up, Fang Lin raised his eyes and looked, although those wine and food were good, but at best, they could be eaten by dozens of high-grade Yuan Crystals, and what he gave before was a thousand precious Yuan Crystals, but Fang Lin didn't want to worry about this, so he filled a glass to Han Yue and said with a smile: "Elder Han, please!" ”
Han Yue looked at the dishes on this table, and suddenly his eyes glowed with dazzling brilliance, and he ate it by himself after a few polite words, looking like a sect master, it was no different from a starving ghost.
After being full, Han Yue patted his stomach with satisfaction, burped, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten such good food for a long time, it's been a long time, hehehehe." ”
The shopkeeper arranged five big felt bags for Fang Lin and his party, Fang Lin took this Han Yue into it, and said with a soundproof ban: "Elder Han, tell me, what do you want us to do for you?" ”
Han Yue didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the canopy in a daze, and looked at it for a while before muttering in a dry voice: "I want revenge, I want you to help me take revenge, I want revenge!! ”
Looking at his eyes red and a hideous expression, Fang Lin and the others all looked at each other, but at this time, Han Yue seemed to be in a state of madness, his mouth kept roaring, venting, as if he was a beast that had been imprisoned for countless years, and was suddenly released, and for a while he didn't know whether it was excitement or anger, he only knew that he couldn't stop roaring at the sky, and he was frantically venting that long-suppressed emotion.
Fang Lin didn't bother him, after about half a burnt of incense, Han Yue's mood gradually stabilized, he glanced at Fang Lin apologetically, and nodded to the rest of the people to apologize, before he spoke: "Master, is you willing to listen to me slowly!" ”
••••••
