Chapter 84: Encountering the Dead
"I didn't expect there to be such a commercial street in Huojiabao!" Ye Shusheng and Luo Tianhan walked on the bluestone road of Huojiabao, walking side by side, looking very leisurely, and looking at the shops on both sides from time to time.
"Yes, I thought this Huojiabao would only be a family residence, but now it seems that it is bigger than the average town. Ye Shusheng also sighed.
Although there are many shops, among those shops, they sell talismans, refining tools, and alchemy raw materials, and there are also one or two that sell low-level magic weapons, but most of the shopkeepers here are mortals who have no mana.
"The entire Huojiabao must be dozens of miles in radius, and the population living here is as high as hundreds of thousands. Luo Tianhan thought of what he had heard before, and sighed with emotion.
Although there are many people in this Huojiabao, only a small number of them have spiritual roots that can cultivate spells, and most of them are ordinary mortals.
Some of these mortals who were supposed to live in the secular world did not have spiritual roots, but their bloodlines still came from the Huo family.
The other part is the relatives of the Huo family's disciples, after all, if you only intermarry between the Huo family's relatives, this is still very inappropriate, and only by properly absorbing some new blood can the Huo family continue to grow.
But these mortals who entered Huojiabao can not go out of this city again in their lives, and can only live here, old age, sickness and death, although they have no worries about food and clothing, but it is also an extremely sad thing.
Those newcomers who moved in from the outside are okay, and they have finally seen the outside world of flowers, but those who were born in the castle since they were children and have no spiritual roots will not even have the opportunity to see the outside world.
However, none of the mortals who entered here were forced! Basically, they were desperate or deeply favored by the Huo family and came here voluntarily.
While the two of them walked, they enjoyed the scene on the street, which was also pleasant. There is also an endless stream of people coming and going on the street, and many of them should be foreign monks.
"Hey, there seems to be a teahouse in front, why don't we go have a cup of tea?" Luo Tianhan pulled down Scholar Ye and said with some excitement.
At the end of this stone street, at a three-way intersection, there is a teahouse, and its scale is not small.
The two were about to walk forward, when suddenly there were several fierce disputes between men and women in a shop not far from the front, and then accompanied by a man's roar, a person dressed as a young woman walked out of the house angrily, rushed directly onto the stone street, and happened to meet Ye Shusheng and the two opposite.
This young woman is very beautiful, with some beautiful temperament.
When Ye Shusheng and the others saw this woman, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but they didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
When the young woman saw Ye Shusheng and Luo Tianhan looking at her like this, she was originally in a bad mood, and she was even more angry when she was stared at like this at this time.
But she could see at a glance that Ye Shusheng and Luo Tianhan were cultivators. Although he didn't pay attention to the appearance of Ye Shusheng and the others because of shame, he only felt that he seemed to be a little familiar, but he still held back his anger, lowered his head slightly and said bluntly:
"Two monks, can you let the little girl pass?"
After saying this, the young woman did not worry about it, so the Huojiabao was strictly precepted, and it was strictly forbidden for the monks to harass the lives of ordinary people, and the punishment for violating the order was extremely severe! Of course, ordinary people should also maintain absolute respect for the monks, and if they neglected it, they could be freely disposed of by the monks.
And now that she is on the street in full view, she is not afraid of any misdeeds from the other party.
But the young woman bowed her head for a long time, and did not make any move to meet the two monks in front of her. There was no intention of backing down, nor did he open his mouth to reprimand her. This surprised her a little, and she couldn't help but raise her head and look over.
"Nie Ying, don't you know us?" Luo Tianhan smiled and said.
"Brother Ye, Sister Luo?" Nie Ying looked incredulous, her eyes wide open.
This Nie Ying is no one else, it is a mortal that Ye Shusheng and the others met when they first came to this cultivation world, Nie Ying was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and now it has been nearly ten years, and the girl of the year has grown into a young woman.
"It's us. Luo Tianhan stepped forward and took Nie Ying's hand.
"Sister Luo, Brother Ye, it's really you!" Nie Ying's eyes suddenly turned red, and she began to sob, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Seeing this, Luo Tianhan naturally knew that she must have been greatly wronged, so he said to Nie Ying softly:
"Nie Ying, should we talk in detail in another place! This doesn't seem to be the place to speak. ”
"Hmm. Nie Ying stopped crying and said very obediently.
"Come to my house! My mother is there. After Nie Ying's mood calmed down, she suddenly spoke.
"Your mother is also in Huojiabao?" Luo Tianhan listened, his expression changed slightly,
It seems that something really happened to Nie Ying's family, otherwise a family with a good life would not easily end up here.
"Yes, Sister Luo, my mother is sick, and she is very bad! you must save her!" Nie Ying pleaded bitterly with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk about it when I get to your mother, as long as it's not an incurable disease, my sister can still get rid of it!" Luo Tianhan saw Nie Ying's pitiful appearance, and naturally felt very distressed, and hurriedly said comfortingly.
"Well, I believe my sister's words, sister, you are all monks, now my mother can be saved!"
Nie Ying heard Luo Tianhan say this, and then she broke into tears and laughed. That kind of delicate and flower-like appearance is really cute, I'm afraid she hasn't been so happy for a long time.
"Let's go, my house is not far from here, just cross a street. My mother will be very happy if she sees Brother Ye and Sister Luo!" Nie Ying naturally grabbed Luo Tianhan's sleeves and led the two of them forward, looking elated.
"Nie Ying, how did you and your mother come here? Could it be that something happened to your family?" Luo Tianhan and Nie Ying walked side by side, asking with a concerned expression.
"My hometown was hit by bandits, and it was a natural disaster, so my mother and I had no choice but to leave our hometown and join this Huojiabao!" Nie Ying heard this, her body trembled slightly, and her face suddenly darkened.
"What about your brother and your father, are they here too?" Luo Tianhan asked again.
"No, it's just me and my mother now. My eldest brother and father were killed by the bandits in order to save us. Nie Ying's expression was gloomy, and tears flowed down her eyes as she spoke.
