Chapter 110: The people in the rivers and lakes are sad, and they meet the deceased by wandering in the city

Jiang You sat on the wooden bench in the lobby, holding the painted skin in his hand and looking at it in amazement, the evil ghost under his feet had been cut off and cut into a stick, but he still kept roaring at Jiang You, and the donkey next to him kept screaming.

"Be quiet!"

Jiang You didn't know if he said this to the evil ghost or to the donkey, and his eyes were carefully looking at the information of the painted skin.

【Devil Paint】

【Quality: Silver】

[Characteristics: After wearing, obtain all the physical characteristics of the original owner, obtain the incomplete memory within three days, and obtain the concealment effect!] 】

"This thing is also a treasure, but it's a pity that it's a woman's painted skin, and I can't use it!"

Jiang You didn't have the special fetish of women's clothing bosses, and secretly said a pity in his heart, he looked at the evil ghost at his feet, this evil ghost has disappeared after he has no painted skin, and he is like an ordinary weird, and he will only roar like a beast.

"This weirdness is mainly based on a painted skin, coaxing the prey to eat after eating, without the painted skin is no longer a concern, at the same time, after not being recognized, relying on the sanity required by the painted skin to mix into human society, the harm brought by it is not to be underestimated!"

Jiang You sighed with emotion, and he didn't know how many painted skin demons had been mixed in this huge Jinguan City!

Jiang You thought like this, and then used his strength under his feet, shaking the evil ghost into black qi and scattering, I don't know if it was because of the deprivation of the painting skin, the sequence progress brought by this kill to Jiang You turned out to be zero!

At the level of Sequence Seven, the weirdness of the strength gap was too big to bring any progress value to Jiang You.

Jiang You put the painted skin into the space ring, and scanned around the small inn with a perspective view, and the blood-spattered bedding was laid under the bed in the weird room, which should be the only trace of the original owner of the inn in the world.

After that, there was nothing else, Jiang You returned to the room to practice, and after dawn, he rode a donkey to the city.

Jinguancheng does not have an ancient city wall like Chang'an, but it still uses sandbags and steel wire to draw the inner city circle, and there are sentry posts every few miles.

But this kind of thing can only prevent some ordinary people, and for the awakened and martial artists, it is nothing.

There is a checkpoint ahead, which opens as an entrance to the city, flanked by four or five armed men armed with automatic rifles and black caps with a white mark of "P" on the hats.

Jiang You honestly led the donkey to the checkpoint.

Armed men surrounded them.

"Entrance fee, one hundred coins per person!"

"Flower coins? What is that? Isn't the original currency good? ”

"Huh? From out of town? The original one had to be three hundred! ”

Jiang You guessed in his heart that this flower coin should be the currency issued by the local forces in charge of Jinguan City, and after paying three hundred yuan, when Jiang You was about to leave, the person still stopped him.

"Cattle will also be handed over, a hundred!"

Jiang You smiled and continued to give 100 yuan, if he hadn't come out this time to go to 300,000 cash, he wouldn't even be able to pay the entrance fee at this time.

After Jiang You finished handing him over, the armed personnel did not ask him where he came from or where he was going, and directly let him go.

"Compared to Chang'an, the guards here are really lax, and the main purpose of the checkpoints set up is to ask for money!"

Jiang You shook his head, the forces here are too rough.

The road conditions in Jinguan City are not much better than those in the suburbs, there are still craters on the road, the water inside has turned black, several larger craters affect the traffic too much, and they are simply filled with soil, usually it is okay, once it rains, the soil becomes mud, the soles of pedestrians, the tires of cars are everywhere, the buildings on both sides are still in a dilapidated state, and there are black traces of fire, and the broken windows are not nailed with wooden strips.

But the streets are very lively, full of people, people who are self-employed selling their handmade goods in the streets, boiling over, there are few cars in the lanes, pedestrians directly encroaching on the main roads, occasionally cars honking to pass by the lamas, and the surging flow of people is like the tide, forcibly separated in half.

Jiang You's first feeling when he first arrived in Jinguancheng was one word: chaos!

Even if Jiang You led a donkey to walk on the street, it would not look abrupt.

Not far away, there was a building ruins piled on one side of the street, on which sat a group of dirty children in ragged clothes and hair messed up into a chicken coop, because they had not bathed for a long time, and they all smelled dirty, and when they saw Jiang You looking around, they immediately surrounded them, and they saw that Jiang You was coming for the first time, and shouted loudly to be a guide for him, as long as twenty coins.

Jiang You patted away a few small hands that wanted to smooth things out of him, and chose a more clever looking child to be his guide.

Just after Jiang You was selected, the other children were still unwilling and wanted to continue pestering, a man with a cigarette roll came out of the store next to him, and yelled at the children, except for the children selected by Jiang You, the others immediately dispersed.

"Sir, you chose me correctly, I was born in the city since I was a child, unlike them, they all entered the city later!"

This kid was eloquent, and began to communicate with Jiang You.

"You're coming to Jinguan City for the first time, right?"

"Not bad!"

"Then the first thing is to find you a place to stay, I know a hotel, the price is fair, the conditions are comfortable, and hot water is provided, the best thing is to take you there!"

"Yes!"

The child took Jiang You forward, and took the initiative to introduce Jiang You to the things in the city along the way.

Jiang You picked up the inquiries he was interested in, and found out the situation here.

The transcendent organization that maintains order in the city is called the "Pao Brotherhood", and it is the most powerful organization, and the people who receive the city fee are them, and at the same time are responsible for basic security management.

In addition to the Pao Brothers' Association, there are two major organizations entrenched here, namely Qingyang Palace and Baoguang Temple.

However, these two families do not participate in the management of the city, but only develop believers to incense, and the incense of Baoguang Temple is the most prosperous in the city.

There are many other small organizations, and they often recruit people, and recently there is a newly emerging organization called the Dawning Society, which is accepting people, if Jiang You is interested, you can take a look.

"Where's the Third Bureau of Investigation here?" Jiang You listened to the forces here, and wondered in his heart, no matter where it is, the Third Investigation Bureau is an unavoidable behemoth, and the Third Investigation Bureau is already well-known to people at this time, so Jiang You also asked directly.

"Look at the shell crater here, hehe, it was left by the Pao Brothers and the Third Investigation Bureau during the battle in the city!"

Jiang You saw that the child still understood this, so he asked a few words in detail.

It turned out that Jinguan City, like other places, was under the control of the local Third Investigation Bureau, but the speed of the development of the Pao Brother Society was too fast, and the friction with the Third Investigation Bureau became increasingly intense, and finally a big fight, and the Pao Brother would rely on the large number of people to form a siege of the Third Investigation Bureau.

When the Third Investigation Bureau was in danger, it didn't care about anything else, and directly used artillery shells to fire on the Pao Gehui.

That night, half of the city was shattered, I don't know how many people died, and the children naturally didn't know the specific process, but from the current appearance of Brother Pao, I knew that the Third Investigation Bureau was defeated.

After the two men had walked two streets, an iron fence appeared next to them, and the wall was full of tents and hungry yellow-skinned people.

"It used to be a city park, but now it's a refugee settlement that runs in from outside. The people who used to live here were all living here. There are five more such places. ”

When the child spoke, his tone was disgusted, these people were all people around Jinguan City, after the edge of the sky, they were displaced, became refugees, and ran to the city to seek refuge.

The already small living space was squeezed out in large quantities, and there were many fewer job opportunities, and these people all used the hometown association to keep warm, and soon developed into a black society, many of which killed people and oversold goods, which made the social security of Jinguancheng extremely poor.

The people of the Pao Brothers' Association only collect money, and they are too lazy to care about things that do not have oil and water, most of them just go through the motions, and many times they don't even come when they hear the location, and these clubs are also smart, and they will not provoke them, only pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

Jiang You looked at the refugee site in the park, the original lawn grass had been trampled and was full of mud, and the people inside were also lit bonfires during the day, black smoke was billowed, most of them were women and children, and the men were working in the newly built factories in the city, only to come back at night.

The people who live in the mud are all dirty like mud monkeys, the tattered clothes on their bodies are dirty and the background color cannot be seen, their expressions are numb, and their eyes are the same as stones, without luster, like the walking dead.

Some domestic garbage is also piled up next to it, many of which have excrement, emitting a foul smell, the shops along the street opposite the park have open-air hot pot on the side of the street, and the ingredients are also some cheap animal water, at this time the taste of hot pot and the stench are mixed together, forming a disgusting taste, so that Jiang You can't help but admire those who eat hot pot bare-chested, how can this be eaten without changing color?

The child also quickened his pace here, and after walking through this section, after turning a corner, a magnificent temple built on a high place appeared, the temple was shrouded in blue smoke, which seemed extremely mysterious, and overlooked all the living beings in the city from a high place.

"That's Baoguang Temple, the incense is prosperous, it's very spiritual, at least fifty flower coins can burn a pillar of incense in it, pray for the blessing of the Buddha!"

The two of them walked further and entered a small alley, with two-story buildings on both sides of the alley, and shops with open doors below, with people living on them, and yellow bamboo poles in the air to dry clothes.

This alley is like a labyrinth, and the child took Jiang You around and around in it, and finally walked to the hotel.

"Arrived, this is the Happiness Hotel, and this guide service is over, I wish you a happy stay in Jinguan City."

Jiang You paid the money and entered the hotel, the owner greeted him warmly, opened a room for Jiang You, and asked for 700 flowers a night, which was really expensive.

Seeing that Jiang You was still holding the donkey, he asked him if the donkey was to be sold, if he did, he could collect it on this side, Jiang You refused with a smile.

The shopkeeper told Jiang You that there were a lot of people stealing here, and it was not safe for a donkey to be in the back yard, so it was better to let him find a house, which only cost 100 coins.

Jiang You refused with a smile, the room was very simple, just a bathroom, a bed, and a chair.

After Jiang You returned to the room, under his perspective, he saw the child take a kickback of fifty flower coins from the shopkeeper, and then the shopkeeper whispered something in the child's ear.

Jiang You listened carefully, and heard that the shopkeeper asked the child to find someone to steal his donkey at night, and he would open the door at that time.

"It's really an industry!"

Jiang You went to Emei on this trip, and Jinguancheng City was just passing by, but just this day, the things in this life made Jiang You have an eye-opening feeling.

Jiang You made a circle in the room, then went downstairs to the yard, the donkey was eating the black beans that Jiang You bought for it, Jiang You patted its head, "Don't be stolen by others at night!" ”

The donkey only cared about eating at this time, and there was no response to Jiang You, I don't know if he understood, but Jiang You didn't care, and went out directly, this donkey can survive in the mountains for so long, there must be two brushes, and he doesn't need to worry about these little things.

His plan was to stay in Jinguan City for only one day, and then take a good walk around the city at this time.

Jiang You walked on the street, wandered around the city, and found that there were many martial arts halls in the city, and there was a street that was all martial arts halls, with various names, and the gate was open, and you could see the courtyard on the street.

At a glance, I saw many shirtless men, humming and beating wooden stakes in the courtyard, sweating like rain.

Jiang You took a look at it and could see that he practiced Baimei Boxing.

Baimei boxing, originated in Mount Emei, originated in the late Ming Dynasty, the legend was created by the head of Mount Emei, which is characterized by strong and ferocious, strong coherence, and a wide route; It covers the key points of "two instruments, three shapes, four standards, five directions, five elements, six combinations, six strengths, and eight potentials".

The transformation of virtual and real, the combination of rigidity and softness, softness and transformation, and good change. Just with a shot, it is easy to destroy. Energetic with the air, a hum and a ha, attack-oriented, good at law, and win by skill.

It's a good kind of small boxing, but those who can be advertised at the door are ordinary people who have just started and haven't even reached Mingjin, and they can't see anything.

Someone at the door saw Jiang You looking inside, and asked him enthusiastically if he wanted to learn boxing, now in this kind of world, there is no one or two kung fu in the body, but he can't get mixed up.

Joined their Desheng Martial Arts Hall, and if you are bullied outside in the future, you can also find a senior brother, and the master can find a field, which is very cost-effective.

Jiang You refused with a smile, he could understand that the organization in Jinguan City was everywhere, and the people who lived here had to join an organization to survive to more or less, which was also the reason for the chaos in the city.

In addition to the martial arts hall, Jiang You also saw the existence of a red light district, similar to an ancient brothel, with a bright door to do business, and a girl with beautiful eyebrows and a snow-white clean girl standing at the door soliciting customers.

It can really be described as a building full of red sleeves, in addition to the skin and meat business, you can also listen to songs and eat, when Jiang You passed by, these girls' eyes lit up.

I thought that this was such a handsome and compelling noble son who came out of nowhere, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, fair and delicate skin, smoother than himself, and the clothes he was wearing, in addition to being clean, the fabric was luxurious at a glance, and his walking demeanor was also extremely good.

The girls immediately began to shout loudly and compete with each other.

Jiang You smiled at them, and then walked quickly without hesitation.

With Jiang You's smile, I don't know how many girls' hearts melted, and they only felt that it was just the most wonderful scene in their lives, but they couldn't see that others looked down on themselves, so they had to look at Jiang You's back stupidly.

After that, Jiang You saw all the scenery in Jinguan City, all of which could not exist in Qin Province, and outrageous businesses such as gambling houses, gladiatorial arenas, and leaf halls were magically revived in this city.

Public security is indeed poor, fighting each other on the street, pickpockets stealing, secretly prostituting into the alleys to do errands, and giving speeches on the street.

Jiang You was attracted by the novelty of giving speeches on the street, and it was already dusk and sunset, and the fiery clouds had lit up the entire sky, and the street lamps in the city were also lit up.

Jiang You saw a person standing on top of a wooden box in the depths of the alley, talking loudly, surrounded by dirty workers after work, idle and nothing to watch the excitement.

This kind of entertainment that does not cost money has become an indispensable seasoning in their lives at this time, and many miserations of life can be dissipated in everyone's laughter.

However, at this time, the group of people who joined in the fun listened very carefully, and the reason was that the person who spoke above was reciting poetry.

Behind the man was the brilliant remnant sun, and his body was reflected in black.

"I swallowed a moon made of iron.

They call it a screw.

I swallowed the waste water of this industry, the order of unemployment.

Those who are below the machine die young.

I swallow rush, swallow displacement.

Swallow the footbridge, swallow the rusty life.

I couldn't swallow it anymore.

Everything I once swallowed is now gushing out of my throat.

A screw fell to the ground.

On this night of overtime.

Vertical landing, with a gentle sound.

Won't attract anyone's attention.

Like before that.

Sometime the same night.

A man fell from a tall building to the ground.

Jiang You listened to this person's poem, and saw that the faces of the people around him gradually became heavy, and then the man raised his arms and shouted, "Compatriots, we can't just be oppressed, exploited, treated as animals, treated as pigs and dogs, and treated as screws Such a miserable life, yes, we are not awakened people, and we have no money to practice martial arts, but we are human beings, we also have to live, and we also have the right to pursue a better life."

But this kind of power will not be given to us by others, it is up to us to fight with our own hands, and our Dawn Society is such an organization, join us, let us gather the strength of ordinary people, and let us roar! ”

Everyone listened carefully, but when they heard that they were still pulling people into the meeting, they immediately laughed.

"Haha, what I said earlier is pretty good, but it's not about pulling people into the club."

"That's it, I've joined four or five clubs, and the monthly membership fee is 100 coins, and I haven't seen anything."

Everyone laughed for a while, and when they saw that the sky was dark, they all walked away with their shoulders hooked.

Jiang You stood in place, carefully looking at the lonely young man on the stage, not that he was moved by the man's poem, but that he found that this person turned out to be someone he knew.

Lin Qingdu!

Lin Qingdu was met by Jiang You in Hanshui City, and the first time they met Jiang You went to fish him from the police station, as far as he knows, Lin Qingdu is a Taoist priest in the remaining veins of Luoshan, Songfeng Temple, and the master seems to have joined the Taoist Association. How can you meet him in Jinguan City?

At this time, Lin Qingdu's appearance has changed greatly, and he is not dressed as a Taoist, his medium-long hair is messy in the night wind, his face is haggard, and the black jacket he is wearing is also tattered, and he looks extremely depressed.

Lin Qingdu found that Jiang You didn't leave, and thought that he was going to join the club, so he hurriedly jumped down from the box, "Comrade, do you want to join our Dawn Society?" ”

"Daoist Kobayashi, you don't know me anymore, take a closer look at who I am?"

Lin Qingdu listened. Puzzled in his heart, he carefully looked at Jiang You's face, and then said with some hesitation: "You are. River. River tour? ”

No wonder Lin Qingdu couldn't recognize it for a long time, Jiang You's temperament was reborn after several strength promotions, and people who were not very familiar with it were indeed difficult to recognize for a while.

After Lin Qingdu recognized Jiang You, he was extremely happy, and grabbed Jiang You's hand, "Brother Jiang, why are you in Jinguan City, you really don't meet in life!" ”

"I also want to ask you, why don't you become a Taoist poet, is this still vulgar? Also ran to mix gangs. ”

"Hahaha, isn't it Hongchen Travel? You have to go deep into it! ”

The first time the two met at the Hanshui City Police Station, and the second time they were in Jinguancheng, which was thousands of miles away, and the identity, appearance, and mentality of the two had also undergone tremendous changes, and they had to sigh the wonder of fate.

It is bliss in the world to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country, and Lin Qingdu immediately pulled Jiang You to invite him to dinner.

Jiang You was also fine in Jinguan City, and he was also happy to go.

Lin Qingdu has been in Jinguan City for a long time, and he is also very familiar with this place, so he walked left and right in the alley with Jiang You, and the two talked on the way.

"Brother Jiang, I heard that you went back to Qin Province to become the young master of Yama, Yama is a big organization, and you have official business in Jinguan City?"

"Hahaha, no, it's just to visit Emei."

"Emei? Emei faction? The Emei faction is in a state of closed mountains, and if you are not born, haha, these are all for ordinary people like us, and the young master of Brother Jiang Yan Luo is naturally different. ”

"Don't, I'm an ordinary person too! Can you not develop in Hanshui City anymore? ”

"I'm this. I'm this"

Jiang You saw that Lin Qingdu was hesitant about this matter, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to answer, so he didn't ask any further questions, which should be related to the confidential information of the organization he joined.

"Brother, it's not that I don't say it, it's true"

"Hahaha, understand, if you ask me about the matter in Yama, I can't say no!"

"Haha, right, right, go, come to Jinguancheng, how can you not eat hot pot, the hot pot taste of this house is extremely authentic, here!"

The two of them came to a fly restaurant, which was already full, and the rest of the place could only sit at the door, and the wooden table placed outside made people feel oily under the perennial oil stain.

"Don't look at this house, it's not tasteful, and most people can't find it!"

Lin Qingdu shouted inside very familiarly: "Boss, the old way, hurry up, I have a guest today, plus a bottle of wine!" ”

Jiang You looked at Lin Qingdu sitting in front of him, and found that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and Lin Qingdu's changes were indeed not small!
