Chapter 12: Dude
At the foot of the ancient sword sect mountain is the prosperous city of cultivating immortals, Chilingyang City.
Lingyang City is close to the five major sects, occupies the best spiritual veins in the east of Linzhou, and faces the sea, and is connected with the outside world, with frequent trade exchanges and rich and colorful materials.
Although there is no Yuanying Cultivator, the city lord has a complex background and holds many important immortal cultivation resources. Therefore, Lingyang City, which occupies the right time, place and people, has become the most prosperous immortal cultivation city in the entire East Linzhou.
The city almost accommodated 100,000 monks, ranging from Qi refining to Jindan stage cultivation. For the sake of safety, the city lord has always pursued an iron fist to rule the city, although monks are not allowed to enter and exit, but all monks who enter the city must follow the city rules.
Therefore, no matter what kind of cultivation you do, as long as you don't deliberately provoke and don't offend the powerful, you will definitely be safe. Unless you offend a big person, you won't even have a chance to escape.
Qiao Yue, who was thought to be dead by the low-level disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, quietly hid in the corner of this prosperous city.
And the Ancient Sword Sect's Qi Refining Period had just finished the comparison, and Jiang Shaohang received a transmission note at the door of his cave mansion.
"Brother Hang, come quickly. I am in the 36th courtyard of Juhang Hall. This is a voice that has not been heard for a long time, which makes Jiang Shaohang extremely cordial.
It had been almost a year since Qiao Yue left the Ancient Sword Sect, and during this period, Jiang Shaohang had always thought that she had been killed by the elders, and he had been depressed for several days, and suddenly he was as happy as if he had news of her.
It was already strange to think that she had killed Xu Zifeng for no reason before, let alone died quietly.
Jiang Shaohang always felt strange, and asked his grandfather a few times, but Jiang Shuihan just sold it.
Jiang Shaohang thought that she had no money on her and had a hard time, so he packed up an empty storage bag and came out, regardless of the number, and stuffed piles of spirit stones into it.
As a friend, Qiao Yue has also helped him a lot, and he should do his best.
He packed up his things and rushed down the mountain gate, rushing to the residence hall as fast as he could.
If you want to say that this Juxingtang in Lingyang City is really powerful, 369 will be separated in a moment. It has a total of 36 courtyards, ranging from the luxurious mansion of the first courtyard to the miscellaneous courtyard of the 36th courtyard, and the prices are also ranked from high to low.
The thirty-sixth courtyard where Qiao Yue lived was located in a remote location, it was already the outskirts of Lingyang City, the roads were not very smooth, and even the aura was very thin.
The courtyard of the immortal cultivation realm is not comparable to the cave mansion, and there is generally no door, but a layer of light curtain is made with prohibition. However, this courtyard is also open-air, and it doesn't make a difference whether there is a door or not, and the immortal cultivators will see it as soon as they fly.
Not to mention that as soon as Jiang Shaohang touched the aura, the light curtain cracked, as if it automatically made way for him.
Don't mention how speechless Jiang Shaohang is. This kind of prohibition, I'm afraid even the spirit bird can't stop it.
The courtyard was very chaotic, and weeds grew everywhere, and in the middle of the courtyard there were a few chairs, on which sat a monk with strong muscles and a delicate face, dressed in tatters, and a pair of big hands actually weaving clothes with phantom silk.
It's so incongruous.
Jiang Shaohang originally wanted to ask Qiao Yue which room he was in, seeing that this big man's movements and expressions were no different from that of a little girl when he was spinning, it was really a bit abnormal, not to mention that people had toned muscles, it was not easy to mess with them, so he had better wait for Qiao Yue to come out.
Just as he was about to take out the transmission note to find Qiao Yue, the strong man heard Jiang Shaohang's movements, and he had already raised his head and shouted in a cheerful voice: "Brother Hang!"
If it is fake, this is Qiao Yue's voice! Jiang Shaohang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Qiao Yue's voice, with this body, her hair and eyebrows also turned black. What the hell is going on, she took it away?
"You, you...... How could you be Qiao Yue?" Jiang Shaohang was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
Qiao Yue was shocked when she saw him, as if she had expected it a long time ago, "It's inconvenient in the yard, go to my house and talk about it." ”
This small courtyard has no soundproof formation, and it is a public area, if what she and Jiang Shaohang said is heard by someone with a heart, it will be a big disaster.
Entering the house, Jiang Shaohang looked at the black hole and sighed again and again.
The room was small, with only a rotten tree root used as a table, and a brick on top of the root, and I don't know what it was for. There is also a stove covered with black earth in the corner.
Jiang Shaohang seemed to understand what was going on with the firewood placed at the door of the dozen or so huts. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yue was already so poor that she didn't even have the money to order a meal, so she had to do it herself.
Qiao Yue took out two still intact futons from the storage bag, threw them on the ground, and said, "I didn't order any tea for you to drink." Lingyang City is expensive for everything, I bought something useful, and the money was all spent. As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of luminous stone and put it in a small hole in the wall.
"Dude, aren't you, are you? ”
"What can I do if I don't take it with me? The yard is full of poor ghosts, poorer than me, I can't afford to buy luminous stones, and the rent has been in arrears for several months. In their eyes, my belongings are valuable, and I don't want to go out one day and come back and be gone. ”
Jiang Shaohang can be said to have no understanding of this kind of poor life, but Qiao Yue has been poor since she was a child, and she has long been used to it, and she doesn't feel too uncomfortable.
"How have you spent the past few months, and you still tossed yourself like this?" Jiang Shaohang couldn't help but poke Qiao Yue's rock-solid arm, and suddenly felt a rebound.
Qiao Yue frowned at this time and told her what she had experienced these days.
It turned out that Qiao Yue was blasted out of the back mountain by Jiang Shuihan that day, so she hurried to find a place to live. She didn't have a few spirit stones on her, but fortunately, she was willing to endure hardships, so she worked as a young man in a restaurant, taking care of food and housing, and she also had a salary of three spirit stones a month.
Originally, life was good, but who knew that Qiao Yu, who was killed that day, spent a lot of money and posted a task list in the city, and he had to spend 3,000 spirit stones to buy Qiao Yue's life. Qiao Yue's portrait was posted on the task list, and besides, she had white hair, so it couldn't be easier to recognize.
Qiao Yue was so frightened that she didn't even pay that month's salary, so she painted her face casually, and dyed her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes with ink.
She thought that with this face, such white hair, and a knife hanging on her head, she hurried to a black shop and asked how she could transform her face.
But the black shop saw that she was a child, and she was just going down the mountain, and the means were too tender to pay the price, and she didn't dare to trouble them, so she picked out a copy of "Golden Body Formula", pretending to be a disguise technique, and deceived a few spirit stones in this way.
Qiao Yue rented the cheapest room and hurriedly practiced the "disguise technique". After practicing for half a year, it became like this.
Now she is five big and three thick, her hair is like ink, even the most imaginative people would never think that she is Qiao Yue, even if Qiao Mingyuan stands in front of her, she can't recognize her.
The purpose of disfigurement is achieved, and it can also be said to be disfigured.
Fortunately, although she is a girl, she doesn't love beauty, she has changed her appearance, and her strength is still I don't know how many times, she looks much more reliable than before, but she didn't expect that this was a black store pit her money.
After hearing this, Jiang Shaohang originally wanted to tell her that the black store was cheating money, but he didn't bother to say anything when he saw her indifferent look.
Even if she really knew about the black shop pit people, Qiao Yue didn't have the ability to trouble them.
"It's strange to say, you killed Uncle Xu, but the elders didn't kill you?"
"They're all money-eyed things. I have good things, and for the sake of the face, of course they will let me go. ”
Jiang Shaohang couldn't help but wonder, what kind of good thing could make the sect no longer hold Qiao Yue responsible? Not to mention that because of Xu Zifeng's death, the sect canceled Qiao Mingyuan's knot ceremony, which made the Ancient Sword Sect lose face in front of many sects.
You must know that it was Xu Zifeng who died, Elder Jin Dan's Taoist companion, she was also a foundation building sword cultivator of Shan Linggen, and she had a great future, and she was considered a loss to the sect when she died, why didn't Qiao Mingyuan and the others pursue it?
"What is it that will make them give up?"
Qiao Yue smiled coldly: "Just let me go temporarily." How stupid do you think they are? After calculating that my cultivation was low and I didn't dare to leave the city, I contacted the mission list and publicized that they were going to kill me. Three thousand spirit stones for the life of a cultivator in the early stage of qi refining, I see, Qiao Yu is still too tender. ”
That's right, Qiao Yu doesn't understand the market. With those three thousand spirit stones, the head in the late stage of qi refining can be exchanged, so why bother to buy the life in the early stage of qi refining?
"Then what are you going to do? Just live like this for the rest of your life? Besides, it's not that you can't fight here, who can kill you?"
"What about my life, do you think I'm afraid? What if I don't do that? I don't want to be a sword cultivator anymore, and I don't have a foundation for Fa cultivation. As long as I say that I am a criminal of the Ancient Sword Sect and want to clean up the portal, Lingyang City will not care. Qiao Yue has broken the jar, and the sadness of the past has to accept her appearance. What's more, her previous appearance was even more terrifying than this.
"Alas. Jiang Shaohang has nothing to say. It's not easy to cultivate, he really saw it.
Qiao Yue was a little puzzled when she saw him sadly: "You are a big man, what are you doing sighing? My life is okay, wasn't I knitting clothes just now? Alas, these clothes are small." ”
Indeed, Qiao Yue's body has grown a lot taller, she was already tall, and now she is even taller and stronger, and her previous clothes have been torn.
Jiang Shaohang didn't want to stay any longer. The mildew in this room was very heavy, which made him uncomfortable when he was used to absorbing the clear air of the mountains and fields. After thinking about it, he took out the bag of spirit stones and stuffed them into Qiao Yue's hand.
While Qiao Yue was stunned, he hurriedly left, for fear that Qiao Yue would return the money to her. Unexpectedly, he was still a step slower, and before he could run to the door, Qiao Yue dodged and blocked the door, resisting Jiang Shaohang's body and not letting him go.
"Brother Hang, what do you mean by this? I have no money to return to no money, but I can't owe it. Qiao Yue shook the money bag in her hand, "There are hundreds of spirit stones, isn't it good for you to keep them for your own cultivation?"
Jiang Shaohang was suddenly annoyed, and punched Qiao Yue's shoulder, but his hands hurt from shock, and he said excitedly: "What do you mean? You are my buddy, buddy is in trouble, I don't contribute, can't I contribute?
He stuffed the money bag into Qiao Yue's arms, "Tell you, if you want me to be your buddy, just take the money and live a good life." If you don't want me to be your buddy, then just give it back to me, let's separate and be lenient, okay?"
Qiao Yue's eyes were sour. I have known Jiang Shaohang for many years, they have never been red-eyed, and they have never cared about anyone, so it is really difficult, so they are still buddies.
"Brother Hang......" Qiao Yue's eyes became more and more blurred, let open the door, and quietly wiped his face with his arm.
"I'm leaving, don't live in this place, go back and change to a better yard. What, don't take it seriously. Jiang Shaohang pointed to the money bag Qiao Yue was holding.
Qiao Yue looked at him blankly, "Brother Hang, you, take care." If there's anything going on, buddy will come over and help you! By the way, remember to invite me to dinner and drink when marrying a daughter-in-law!"
"Don't worry, yours are indispensable!" Hearing the words "marry a daughter-in-law", Jiang Shaohang smiled heartily, waved his hand, and left in style.
