223 Inquire about the news (2nd update)
Ji Feng did not continue to ask about the monster, but walked towards the city by himself, and finally disappeared completely around the corner in front of him.
Call!
After not seeing Ji Feng's figure at all, the head of the guard really breathed a sigh of relief, and his clothes were already wet with sweat at some point, "Damn, I'm scared to death! If it was known from above, I scolded a priest who would be a second-grade priest, and probably chopped me up unceremoniously and fed it to the dog." It was too dangerous, but fortunately the priest was not angry. After muttering to himself, the captain of the guard returned to his post, perhaps because of what happened to Ji Feng just now, at this moment he obviously restrained a lot of anger, and did not indiscriminately yell at passers-by who entered the city, if he met a priest with a bad temper, then his head would really not be saved.
I have to say that the buildings on the grassland are quite chic, similar to yurts, but with some different styles, each room seems to condense the absolute wisdom of the housemaker, it looks very exquisite, and the shape is quite avant-garde and beautiful, much more beautiful than the decent house in Wengang City.
This was an eye-opener for Ji Feng.
If you want to get more comprehensive or other news, the best way is the teahouse, many businessmen or travelers, because they are in a hurry, are not likely to choose accommodation, but in the teahouse casual rest, of course, in the process of rest, some gossip will become the talk after dinner.
Ji Feng didn't plan to go directly to his brother Ji Wu, after all, he was the city lord, and he needed to pay attention to the livelihood and order of the entire Huabei City, and it was really not good to bother him too early, so it was better to take the opportunity to listen to the news.
After several choices, Ji Feng sat in a teahouse with a large flow of people, and specially chose a relatively secluded corner, quietly listening to the news from the table next door.
Of course, Ji Feng went to the teahouse wearing the badge of the second-grade priest. It is estimated that they will not hear anything, and when those people see the priest, how dare they unscrupulously express the true thoughts in their hearts? It is estimated that they will perfectly organize the language, and use an almost flattering attitude to tell Ji Feng false and speculative rumors.
And that kind of rumor has long been distorted and has no value at all.
Therefore, Ji Feng very wisely changed into an extremely ordinary dress, of course, slightly different from a beggar. After all, the people who can enter the teahouse are by no means the kind of people who live in poverty, and if they are dressed too shabby, they may also attract attention.
"Guest, your tea. When Ji Feng carefully eavesdropped on the people at the next table, the shopkeeper came up with a pot of tea, and the fragrant smell of tea suddenly came to his nose, "Guest officer, if the water is gone." Say hello to me, and I'll fill it for you. ”
"What's that...... Water, is it free?" Of course, Ji Feng is not short of that money, and his purpose is just to make his identity closer to the public. Because he found that many people would ask that.
"Water, no money. ”
In the end, it is the second shopkeeper of the big teahouse, although this question has been asked by many people. But when he answered, he was still polite, without any hint of impatience.
The corners of Ji Feng's mouth raised slightly. Say "Thank you!"
Without the interruption of the shopkeeper, Ji Feng slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and suddenly, the jerky sweetness instantly filled the entire tongue, it was really better than the tea leaves in Wengang City, it had a different charm, it was a rare good tea. Of course, tea tasting is just a trivial matter, and his ears have never rested all the time.
"Those monsters don't seem to be as rampant as they used to be!" At the next table, the bearded man sitting in the east position raised his head and drank the tea, quite boldly.
This reminded Ji Feng of the old Biao of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.
Hmph, he is also a seemingly bold guy, but he didn't expect that he was also a humble person. As the saying goes: people should not be disguised, and this may also mean it.
"How can it not be rampant?" the middle-aged man who seemed to be polite and polite sitting on the west side held the folding fan in his hand and said, "I heard that three days ago, a mercenary group was taken away by all those monsters, no, today their dried corpses were found under the cliff to the east of the Phantom Beast Mountain Range." It can be seen that their target is no longer the villagers around Huabei City. ”
"Guess what, will there be fox spirits in those monsters? I once read in a book that usually fox spirits absorb people's essence and use it to increase their cultivation, which can shorten the time to become immortals. The middle-aged man to the north said mysteriously.
But as soon as the words fell, the middle-aged people in the south fell up, "Have you read too many fantasy novels? What about fox spirits? Don't those fantasy novels tell you that fox spirits usually absorb the essence of men, when do they start absorbing the essence of women? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
"Who doesn't understand? Hmph, the one who absorbs the essence of a man is a female fox, and the male fox spirit will absorb the essence of a woman. The so-called complementarity of yin and yang, do you understand?" the middle-aged man in the north was obviously very unconvinced.
"I'll go! Which novel tells you that the vixen still has a male and female? Tell me, I have to kill the author of that novel. The middle-aged man to the south said.
"It's just that a novel told me that foxes have males and females, and vixens naturally have males and females. The middle-aged man in the north said with some embarrassment.
"Which novel?"
The middle-aged man in the north was like a play on the stage, feeling that other people's eyes were all focused on him, but he didn't want to lose face completely, and after a moment of silence, he immediately said: "Yes, yes...... It's "Beacon World". ”
"I haven't heard of this novel, are you hitting the street? or are you making it up?" The middle-aged man with a folding fan in the west looked at the middle-aged man in the north with some frowns.
"Yes! You haven't heard of it, it's unheard. Let me tell you, this novel is wonderful, I want to read it after reading it, and it is a must-have novel for home travel. In order to cover up the fact that the novel was made up by himself, the middle-aged man in the north began to open his mind and unscrupulously preach in front of the other three, "Since I finished reading that novel, my waist doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't count, I don't feel constipated when I go to the toilet, and even that incident has been instantly increased from twenty minutes to one hour, all kinds of cool ......"
"Guys, let me interject!" the big man interrupted the middle-aged man from the north, and then said lightly, "We seem to be off topic! Now we're talking about the monsters in the Phantom Beast Mountain Range!"
"Yes, yes, let's continue to talk about those monsters!" The middle-aged man in the north not only did not blame the big man, but also responded with great joy.
"Actually, I heard that those monsters are for Xuanwu, one of the Four Holy Beasts. The middle-aged man in the south with a folding fan in his hand said the news that surprised everyone, "However, we all know that the Four Holy Beasts have disappeared for thousands of years, if Xuanwu really existed, the ancients would have done it a long time ago, how could they wait until now?"
Hearing this, Ji Feng's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air instantly, and the word Xuanwu flashed in his mind, instantly evoking the memory of Ji Feng's encounter with the mysterious queen, at that time, the mysterious queen had asked Ji Feng if he was wearing a basalt shell? Demon armor, and later heard the maid next to the mysterious queen say that the demon armor was not on Bai Jiao's body......
"Broken Island ......" Ji Feng directly associated with that word, but Ji Feng didn't think of anything else from this word, and finally shook his head helplessly and continued to drink tea.
When he was about to continue listening to those people discussing the news of monsters, what Ji Feng heard turned out to be which woman in Chunfeng Building had good skills, which woman's mouth work was good, and which woman's hand work was good?
It's really a few people who are not ashamed to discuss these things in public.
Ji Feng drank all the tea in the cup, and asked Mo Cangli in his mind, "Master, did you already know about the monster, so you agreed to me to come to Beicheng?"
"Stop asking stupid questions. I am only a priest, not a living immortal of the unpredictable prophet. Besides, it was you who couldn't wait to rush over after hearing that girl said that there was a monster in Beicheng, and I just obeyed your wishes. Mo Cangli would never admit that it was he who asked Ji Feng to come to Beicheng.
"However, when the master asked me to rush to Huabei City, I hadn't met the mountain guard, and I didn't know that Huabei City was being attacked by monsters!" Ji Feng said the doubts in his heart.
"What ...... then" Before he finished speaking, Mo Cangli appeared in a rare silence, of course, this silence only lasted for two minutes, "I ask you to feel that you have come to Beicheng, and you have not followed your father's wishes, you should thank me, not doubt me." Have you forgotten how your father asked you when you were about to go out on a long journey?"
"No, no, no, I didn't doubt Shizun, I just thought that Shizun knew about the monster from the beginning!" Ji Feng hurriedly explained, and then filled himself with a cup of tea, "Then Master, what should we do next? ”
"The monster thing is definitely not something you can manage now! Didn't you rush here to help your brother? And your brother is the city lord of Huabei City, and now the target of the monster is basically a mercenary group, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with your brother, and it doesn't need your help at all. Mo Cangli analyzed the situation for Ji Feng, "You can take this opportunity to break through the spirit warrior and become a spirit envoy, of course, the best thing is to become a spirit general in the early stage." ”
"Is it possible to upgrade two levels directly?" Ji Feng was a little surprised, it would take a long time for some people to be promoted to one level, not to mention that they were upgraded to two levels, "Shouldn't it be that after I am promoted to two levels, Huabei City will be finished?"
"Nonsense! At the beginning, I was able to let you never be able to cultivate, and directly break through the original spirit and become a spiritual warrior. Now there is also a way for you to directly break through the spirit envoy and become a spirit general. Mo Cangli assured in Ji Feng's mind. (To be continued......)
