Chapter Seventy-Seven: Inquiry

After camouflaging, Lin Han swaggered out of the alley.

At this time, the afterglow of the sunset has long been dissipated, there is a round of bright full moon hanging in the sky, tonight is the full moon, the original prosperous and noisy, the imperial capital of the warbler song and swallow dance, at this moment also because of last night's shock and silence a lot.

Lin Han lowered his head and hurriedly walked on the ancient street under the moonlight, there were few pedestrians on the street, but from time to time he would pass by a group of soldiers and family guards, sonorous and burly, with dignified armor, which made the people nearby panic.

In this world, where force is respected and the status of the royal family is not the only one, the status of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs is naturally not very high, so the people's sense of belonging to the Ji family is not very strong.

In Qianzhou, there are only six powerful forces that can deter the eight desolations of Kyushu, the four major families of the imperial capital Ji, Qin, Liang, and Gong, as well as the Tiandu Academy and Xinluo Palace, one of the eight immortal palaces in Kyushu.

The Gong family is a little low-key, because they have been developed in the last tens of thousands of years, and their background is not very deep, but their background is extremely mysterious, and it is said that there is a top-level power of the Eight Desolations in secret.

Lin Han shook his head, now that he was trapped in the imperial capital, the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it became, so he had to find a way out of here as soon as possible.

Bypassing a street, Lin Han found an inn and walked in, the inn was deserted, there were no guests, only a young man sat on a chair, dozed off with one hand against his head, there was still saliva on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what beautiful things he dreamed of!

Click!

Lin Han knocked on the table where the little guy was dozing, and the little guy was woken up with a "whoosh", jumped up, and immediately saw Lin Han standing in front of him.

"Ouch, guest officer, do you live in the hotel?" the little guy wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth embarrassedly.

"Is there a room available? ”

"Yes, yes, I don't know if you want the lower room, the middle room, or the upper room?" The shop has five spring coins for one night in the lower room, ten spring coins for one night in the middle room, and twenty spring coins for one night in the upper room" The little guy asked respectfully.

"Bring me a room! By the way, serve me some good wine and food, bring it to the room, you can pay for the spring stone, right?" Lin Han touched the spring coins in his pocket, there were only nine of them, which were left in the clothes of the person he had just killed.

Hearing that Lin Han was going to live above, the little guy smiled happily. After martial law in the whole city, almost all the small inns and taverns were deserted, and I didn't expect a big guest officer to come tonight.

"You can use the guest officer, one lower grade spring stone is equal to ten spring coins, this is recognized by everyone! You give me three lower grade spring stones, I have arranged them for you, do you think it's okay?" The little guy is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looks like a sincere person, and his shy smile is full of innocence.

Helian Wuji once said that a low-grade spring stone was enough to support a monk in the Initiation Spring Stage to accelerate his cultivation for ten days, but Lin Han did not know the exchange relationship between the spring stone and the spring coin.

"Hmm!" Lin Han nodded, took out four lower grade spring stones and handed them over. "There's also a tip for you. ”

"Xie Lu Xie Guest Officer, Xie Lu Xie Guest Officer!" the little guy hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

But when he looked down at the spring stone in his hand, his face suddenly changed slightly.

"Huh...... That's not right!" Looking at the spring stone in his hand, the little guy was puzzled and surprised.

"What's wrong?" Lin Han was a little nervous, could it be that there was something wrong with this spring stone?

You won't reveal your identity, will you?

"Wrong officer! The size of your spring stone is wrong. The little guy pouted and looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Lin Han asked with a frown, suppressing the tension in his heart.

"The lower grade spring stone is light gray and five points transparent, the middle grade spring stone is light blue seven points transparent, the upper grade spring stone is light red nine points transparent, and the best spring stone is milky white and opaque. It's true that the color of your spring stone is light gray, but the size is wrong, it is bigger than the lower spring stone, which has never happened!"

"Is there a rule on the size of the spring stone?" Lin Han asked puzzled.

"Heh......" the little guy laughed: "The guest officer really likes to joke, who doesn't know the way, the size of the spring stone is fixed, I have never heard of a spring stone mine excavated by such a large size!"

"So that's the case, you don't know, my spring stone flowed out of Zhongzhou, and I didn't pay attention to it when I got it, or brother, you are careful. You don't know the way, after the return of Zhongzhou, there are many people who have had adventures and made a windfall, and some people can pick up a bunch of low-grade spring stones while walking on the grass, and some are even high-grade spring stones, the best spring stones. ”

"This ...... This...... Is this true?" the little guy was shocked, his heart was agitated, and he immediately flew to Zhongzhou and went to the grassland for a walk.

"Of course it's true, so be it! You pay me back these four lower grade spring stones, and I'll give you this. Lin Han handed over a high-grade spring stone, because Helian Wuji had given him a high-grade spring stone, and that spring stone was the same as the high-grade spring stone in his ring

This extra-large low-grade spring stone, in case of a first-class appearance, is discovered by people with a heart, especially by the Qin family, and it is likely to find itself.

So Lin Han took it back categorically.

"Pay for three days in advance, and I'll give you the rest. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, please here. One room in the upper room of the Tianzi number-" The little guy shouted, he was not young, but his throat was unusually loud, and he didn't know who to call out to the empty inn.

......

In the room, Lin Han sat down according to the introduction of the spring stone of the little servant, and knew the spring stone in the ring separately, as for what the topaz was, Lin Han still did not know.

After a while, the young man came up with four dishes and a pot of wine.

"This is the ancestral secret of our store's monkey fairy wine, you can enjoy it slowly. The little guy respectfully poured wine for Lin Han, made a gesture of please, and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, brother, I still have some questions I want to ask him. Lin Han smiled and quietly handed over a high-grade spring stone, and now he could only confirm that this high-grade spring stone was fine.

The little guy grinned instantly, thinking that he had good luck today and met a rich master!

With such a generous reward, the little guy was a little embarrassed to take it, but the desire in his heart finally made him take over the high-grade spring stone, which was enough to cover his income for half a year.

"Even though the guest officer asked, I knew everything and said everything. ”

Lin Han nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Little brother, have you ever heard of a yellow spring stone?"

"I've never heard of the yellow spring stone," the little guy shook his head and said, "Could it be a newly mined spring stone in Zhongzhou?"

"I don't know, I've heard that someone seems to have dug up a yellow spring stone. Lin Han smiled: "By the way, the little brother is well-informed, but there is a way for me to get out of the city?"

"Out of town?"

"Well, my lady is waiting to give birth, and she came to the imperial city yesterday. I wanted to buy some medicine for my mother to replenish qi and stabilize the fetus, and then buy some animal milk for my soon-to-be-born child, but who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances, and when I got up this morning, I found that the imperial capital was under martial law. Lin Han showed a worried expression, and his expression was sad.

"So that's the case, it's all to blame on the hateful wicked man, who not only stole the treasure of the first academy in Kyushu, but also released the ancient demons, almost destroying the entire imperial capital, and making tens of millions of people in the imperial capital almost die at the hands of the ancient demons. The little man had palpitations, trembling and indignation, and longed to eat the flesh of the wicked man and drink the blood of the wicked, but he did not know that the wicked man in his mouth was beside him.

"Guest officer, I'm afraid I can't help you, and now I know that there are three ways to get out of the city, but none of them are feasible strategies, and they will only harm you. ”

"Oh, it's okay to listen to it. Lin Han's expression was sad, and then he forced a smile, revealing a curious expression.

Hearing this, the young guy became interested, Kai Kai and said: "One: the guest officer should have found out, last night the sky changed people's hearts were panicked, everyone thought that the end was coming, and many people ignored it, relying on their own skills, they plundered in the city, the crowd trampled in panic, and there were many people who were trampled to death. A lot of people died in the imperial city overnight, if the guest officer pretended to be a dead corpse and was taken to the city by the corpse cleaning team, it would be very good, but the problem was that those corpse cleaning teams would stab several swords on the corpses in order to prevent someone from pretending to be dead and leaving the city, and the corpses were burned intensively after being taken out of the city, which was not feasible. Method 2: Participate in the recruitment of the Loose Cultivation Alliance. ”

"What is the Scattered Cultivation Alliance?" Lin Han asked.

The little guy looked at Lin Han with a strange expression, and asked in surprise: "How come the guest officer doesn't even know about the Kyushu First Alliance and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance?"

"Little brother, don't blame, a certain is from a remote mountainous area, this is the second time a certain has come to the imperial capital, I don't understand many things, and I ask my little brother for advice. ”

No wonder he was so generous, it turned out to be a countryman who had never seen the world.

Xiao Wu was relieved and explained: "The predecessor of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, which was actually composed of dozens of large and small Scattered Cultivation Guilds. There are countless scattered cultivators in the world, and there are many peerless geniuses, but these geniuses and strong people are not united, like rootless duckweed, bullied, strangled, and robbed by the general trend. The strength of one person has always been no match for the strength of the family's strength, so some of the top powerhouses in the scattered cultivation have come forward and formed the Entente Guild to help each other. Later, after the large and small guilds merged, they became the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The purpose of their existence is to unite the world's scattered cultivators, to form a shelter for the world's scattered cultivators, and not to be bullied by the family's powerful gangs. ”

"So this Loose Cultivation Alliance is very weak?"

"This is a bad statement, on the contrary, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance can be said to be the number one force in the world. ”

"Oh...... Why is that?" Lin Han was shocked, because no one had told him this before.

"There are countless loose cultivators in the vast Kyushu, as long as there are people, there is the power of the Loose Cultivation Alliance, and their guilds are scattered all over the city. The Scattered Cultivation Alliance is mysterious and powerful, there is an assassination department, an intelligence department, its own consortium chamber of commerce, a secret base for cultivating talents, etc., their precepts are detailed and harsh, and the hierarchy is clear, but they are extremely united, as long as one person is bullied by the external force, after the investigation is clear, if it is the fault of the other party, then this force will be suppressed by the Alliance of Scattered Cultivation as a hostile force, and it will not be long before this force is completely eliminated. Among them, the most famous is the anti-Yan operation five thousand years ago, when the Yan family, the second largest family in Lizhou, was as strong as a cloud, with countless geniuses, and belonged to the fourth power in Lizhou, but because the second son of the Yan family snatched the immortal weapon of a son of the master of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, the two sides fought after the negotiation was fruitless. At that time, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance dispatched tens of thousands of Tribulation Period masters to besiege the Yan family, although the Yan family was strong, but after three days and three nights of defense, it still could not resist the continuous strong offensive of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and finally fell, more than a dozen ancestors who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years were killed, and one ancestor who returned after hearing the news was killed, and the entire family was slaughtered. ”

"Tens of thousands of masters of the Tribulation Period, half-step ascension to immortals, in Kyushu is already the strength of the sky, at that time, it shocked the world and shocked the eight wildernesses. After all, it was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that a god had been killed. After a battle, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance was named the first major force of the Eight Desolations by the people of the world. ”

For the Endless Eight Desolations, the existence of the ancestors is like a living god, and the killing of the gods is indeed shocking.

"Hey! Sure enough, it is the number one force in Kyushu, and now the masters of the Tribulation Period in the entire Qianzhou are probably not more than 10,000 when they are concentrated!" Lin Han muttered to himself, and then said, "But what does this have to do with so-and-so?"

"If the guest officer can join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance and sign up to go to Zhongzhou, he can become an adventurer and organize a group to go to Zhongzhou to try his luck. At that time, the guest officer will naturally be able to go out of the city, but the guest officer wants to go home, so this method will not work. Moreover, the conditions for joining the Scattered Cultivation Alliance are now very harsh, and someone must recommend them, and their strength is above the refining period, and their net worth is innocent. ”

"What about method three?" Lin Han asked.

"Method 3 of getting out of the city: I heard that the pioneer exploration team of the Qin family found an ancient spring mine in the col south of Los Angeles, which is a high-quality high-grade spring stone mine, with huge reserves, and it is estimated that it can produce 50 million pieces of high-grade spring stone. Now the recruitment of miners in major blocks is underway, and this group of miners will soon go to Zhongzhou with the major forces of Qianzhou, and when the time comes, they can also go out of the city. ”

"I see, the little brother is really well-informed, thank you!" Lin Han said with a smile, and quietly took out a high-grade spring stone and handed it over, this is considered a hush money, there are two high-grade spring stones, even the people with rich families will be red-eyed, and he doesn't dare to say it everywhere.

Looking at the high-grade spring stone handed over, the little girl's eyes were shining, and his heart was excited, but he was still a little hesitant: "The guest officer is ......"

"It's okay, let you take it, you can take it, you helped me, I naturally can't treat you badly. Lin Han said with a smile.

"Xie Lu Xie Guest Officer, Xie Lu Xie Guest Officer......" The little guy bowed and thanked him, and said more than a dozen times before leaving under Lin Han's impatient eyes.
