Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Glimp of Light
Ma Zhao and Ah Niu may not believe that there are demonic pursuers, but Song Yifei may be sure that there must be pursuers behind him, especially after he has checked all the gains.
"I've picked up this thing!
Song Yifei looked at the roster of spies in the Blood Killing Hall in his hand, and had a headache.
I originally thought it was a martial arts cheatbook, but I didn't expect it to be a booklet that recorded people's names.
It's a hot potato, and it's going to cause a lot of trouble. It's just that the wood is already in the boat, even if he loses it immediately, the Blood Killing Hall will not let him go.
In addition to the roster, there are several other gains, which are all good.
The first one is a silver ticket of 100,000 taels!
Money, naturally, the more the merrier. In a hurry to come out of the house this time, Song Yifei only brought two thousand taels of silver tickets.
100,000 taels of silver tickets can save him a lot of trouble. At least for a few years, you don't have to worry about living expenses.
Poor and rich in martial arts, even if he didn't buy pills to assist in cultivation, just supplementing his body's nutrition normally would be a lot of money.
If there is no such restriction, everyone in the world will go to practice martial arts, and who will still farm. It is not easy to obtain profound internal strength, but the basic ones are all over the street.
Only when the innate realm is reached, the intake of this external energy will be greatly reduced.
A short sword wrapped in black shark skin.
The sword body is shiny, like rotten silver, extremely sharp, blowing and breaking hair, if it is not wrapped in shark skin with abnormal toughness, it is easy to hurt yourself.
This short sword, compared to Song Yifei's stainless steel sword, I don't know how many times stronger.
If it is sold on the market, it will be worth at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver, but it is a pity that it is a short sword.
A special high-class exercise "Breathing Technique".
"Breathing Technique" is neither a martial art nor an internal skill, but a special method of luck.
Innate masters can vaguely perceive the strength of their opponents through their strong spiritual power. This "Breathing Technique" was created precisely to restrain this situation, and by constricting its own breath, it made the innate master unable to perceive the true cultivation.
Zhu Qi has been able to mix in the Daqian Dynasty for so many years, and this "Breathing Technique" is definitely a great contribution.
"Breath Extraction" can also increase the latent ability, which is not easy to detect.
The ancestor of the Blood Killing Hall was originally a killer, and this exercise is very consistent with the style of the Blood Killing Palace, so it is not surprising that it appears on Zhu Qi.
A light skill recorded in an unknown cloth "Glimpse of Floating Light".
The fabric is very thin, like cicada wings, boxy, the color is close to gray-black, and it is as smooth and soft as water to the touch, so that Song Yifei mistakenly thinks it is stockings.
On the front, there are twelve lifelike practice villains, with a clear movement and an eye, and the body is covered with clear exercise lines.
On the reverse side, there are dense small characters written on the fly's head, recording the precautions for practicing the exercises, as well as the important methods of exercising the exercises.
Song Yifei took the fabric in his hand and tried to stretch it slowly and vigorously. At the height of its strength, the fabric remained undeformed.
Not to mention the body style recorded above, this cold as water, unusually strong material alone is already a priceless treasure.
It can be inferred from this that as long as the author is not stupid, it is impossible for him to use priceless treasures to record garbage exercises.
What's even more amazing is that the calligraphy and painting on the cloth are not written, but carved with a knife, and when you touch it, you can feel a faint dent.
On the cloth as thin as a cicada's wings, calligraphy and painting are engraved on both sides at the same time, and it can still be kept unbroken, which is a miracle.
"Peerless Divine Skill! 100% Peerless Divine Skill! It's a pity! It's a part-time method!"
This supernatural skill level body method is undoubtedly Song Yifei's biggest gain.
After putting the harvest close to his body, Song Yifei found clothes from the hiding house and swaggered out of the house.
The place where Song Yifei was located, called Taocheng, was the first big city he encountered after a night of travel.
Before entering the city, he first released the horses, which were worth a thousand taels and were about to foam at the mouth, to confuse the public.
Then he dressed up as a peasant and went into the city with the common people.
After entering the city, he did not go to live in a high-end inn as usual, but quietly went into the alley and picked a house where no one lived.
With Song Yifei's strength comparable to the perfection of internal strength, he is already a master in the rivers and lakes. It is naturally not difficult to go to an ordinary family to be a gentleman on the beam.
It is troublesome to be cautious than to regret it after being caught.
In order not to be discovered by the people of the Blood Killing Palace, when he came out, he hid the stainless steel sword issued by Wudang.
Song Yifei, who walked out of the alley, was ready to take a look at the situation in the city and was thinking about what was going to happen next.
"Uncle, do you want to buy sugar water? This is maple sap, it tastes good!"
A child wearing a coarse cloth coat with a dark and thin face saw Song Yifei walking out of the alley, and hurriedly handed over the basket with a bamboo tube.
"Maple?"
Song Yifei, who originally wanted to wave his hand away, heard the word maple tree and put his hand back again.
"Where did you get this from?"
"This is sent from Maple Town, three hundred miles away, and it was just produced this year, so you can buy one!"
"Three hundred miles! It's really far! Then bring me two!"
Thinking of maple syrup and the blood-filled Maple Town, Song Yifei let out a long sigh in his heart. After this incident, I wonder how many people are still alive in Maple Town?
"Uncle! Two cylinders and four pennies!
Taking the two bamboo tubes, Song Yifei took out four copper coins from his arms and handed them to the young man.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!"
The boy thanked him repeatedly, and then ran to the next person.
Song Yifei pulled the cork and took a sip, and found that it was much worse than that in Maple Town, with less fragrance and more bitterness.
"Looks like a lot of water!
In the future, probably, I will never be able to drink again!
This is the rivers and lakes!
When you don't have the strength, you can die at any time, because of an accident!
......
"Who are you? In broad daylight, you dare to hijack the imperial court officials, what a boldness!!"
Looking at the innate guard who fell in front of him, Guo Zhiyun gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"It doesn't matter who we are! What matters is your life! and the life of your family! It's all in my hands!"
Lin Jiuxiao, who was dressed in red, shook the blood stains on the sword and said with a chuckle.
Lin Jiuxiao's words were full of threats, Guo Zhiyun was able to achieve the position of the city lord, so he was naturally not a fool.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Don't worry, it's just for you to cooperate, find someone in the city!"
......
Taocheng is a large city with a population of nearly 30,000 and mainly produces all kinds of fine porcelain. There are also some people at the bottom who will produce coarse pottery.
In this era, porcelain was a very precious luxury. Therefore, the city is very prosperous, in addition to the shops selling ceramics everywhere, green houses, red mansions, inns, casinos, pawn shops, tea shops, antique shops, restaurants, and grocery stores abound.
There are also merchants who come and go from the south to the north, loading, unloading, and transporting goods under the escort of the dart bureau. A large number of grassroots people who sold coolies were huddled together and waited for the merchant's employment.
The degree of prosperity is more than that of Guangling County, where Song Yifei once went, and it is not much more than that.
"Recently, there have been important criminals wanted by the imperial court in the city, and the city lord has issued an order that everyone who enters and leaves the city must be strictly checked!"
At the gate of Taocheng, a majestic and majestic guard commander wearing fish scale armor was preaching the orders of the city lord to the merchants and people entering and leaving.
"What? I'm still waiting to go out of the city to deliver the goods! Master Jun, can you be accommodating! Ouch!"
There were businessmen who were in a hurry to get out of the city and wanted to bribe the commander of the guards, but they were kicked to the ground by the other party.
"This is an order given by the city lord himself! Dare to have someone who steals and cheats, and violates the yin and yang! Don't blame someone for Hong's sword!"
The commander of the guard showed the saber at his waist, and the people around him immediately shuddered and lined up honestly.
"A bunch of cheap bones!
The commander of the guard cursed secretly, and then began to command his subordinates, set up checkpoints one after another, and carefully check everyone.
"Commander Hong, you have done a good job! When I see the city lord, I will definitely say a few kind words for you!" said a man dressed as a scholar and looking like a bookkeeper with a smile.
"Then I'll thank Mr. Zong!" Hong Kang smiled and thanked him.
The man surnamed Zong was a martial arts master personally assigned by the city lord to assist in the capture of fugitives, and Hong Kang naturally did not dare to slack off.
"Commander Hong must remember that the other party is a person who practices martial arts! When inspecting, we must focus on investigating people in the rivers and lakes!"
"Mr. Zong, don't worry! When I came, I had already arranged it!"
......
"How could this be!!"
Seeing the situation at the city gate, Song Yifei's face was ugly.
When he entered the city in the morning, there was only a team of ten guards at the gate, and Song Yifei paid two cents to enter the city, and the guards let him in, not even bothering to look at it.
Now at the gate of the city, there are at least ten teams, nearly a hundred heavily armed guards, and it seems that they are not ready to release even a single fly. The huge contrast between before and after made Song Yifei faintly feel that there was a problem.
All this is likely to be done by Lin Jiuxiao, and the purpose is naturally to find him.
Although it can't be 100% certain, but eight or nine is not far from ten, at least Song Yifei does not dare to risk going out of the city.
"Lin Jiuxiao can actually mobilize the power of the imperial court! Could it be that the city lord of Tao City is also a spy of the Demon Gate?"
The sudden situation gave Song Yifei a headache.
Originally, he was very confident in escaping the pursuit, after all, Lin Jiuxiao and the others had never seen him. As long as he is slightly disguised, it will be difficult for the other party to find him.
Now Song Yifei realized that he underestimated the other party's determination to get back the roster, and also underestimated the other party's energy.
"I'm afraid guarding the city gate is only the first step, and the next big investigation is likely to be carried out! I have to find a new identity!"
Unlike modern times, transportation was very backward and the population was less mobile. Even if Taocheng is a prosperous city, there are tens of thousands of floating people a day.
Just as the Demon Gate can really control the local forces, and sparing no expense, it is not difficult to find a stranger.
"It's a feeling, self-contained!
