Chapter 469: The Strange City (Second Update)
The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue.
At this time, Jiangnan was in full bloom, and Zhang Jing and his entourage were originally planning to stop and go, formulate a route, and have a good walk.
For example, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Qiantang and other places can stay for a few more days to enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the local culture.
Even in Shanghai, the most prosperous city today, everyone is preparing to take a detour to see the world.
But now that they know Yan Chixia's hermitage, everyone has no other thoughts, let's go to Lanruo Temple to see first!
The distance between Jinling and Jinhua is not short, hundreds of kilometers away, and Yan Qingfeng is still dragging his family with his family, taking the child Yan Baiwei, and he can't go all out.
So when I arrived in Jinhua, it was already the evening of the third day.
As soon as they arrived at the boundary of Jinhua, Zhang Jing and others discovered that this place was different from other places in the south of the Yangtze River.
As the land of fish and rice, although the world is chaotic today, the situation of the people is still much better than that in the north, and there are few cases of being unclothed.
And one side of the water and soil to support one side of the people, can not say all, most of the Jiangnan people will tend to be gentle, not too irritable.
But.
After arriving at the Jinhua realm, it seems that everything has changed.
This small city is not only a scene of chaos, the streets are not prosperous, not to mention ten rooms and nine empty, but many shops are closed, and the population is much smaller than that of other counties.
And most of the people left behind were also some powerful guys, all with weapons in their hands, and the expressions on their faces were very unkind.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel like he had entered a bandit's den!
Whether it is Zhang Jing or Yan Qingfeng and his wife, they can be regarded as having traveled all over the country, traveled to many places, and seen the customs of many different places.
But it's the first time I've seen such a strong folk style.
When Zhang Jing and his entourage first entered the city, they seemed to be being targeted, and there were at least ten pairs of eyes on the street looking at their group of outsiders, like wolves staring at their prey.
However, Zhang Jing and the others did not wear silk and satin, and they did not have any valuable objects on their bodies, and they were not very rich and expensive 'fat sheep'. In addition, although the demon slashing sword in the sword box behind Zhang Jing is not unsheathed to show its edge, it can still represent a certain identity, and it is not easy to provoke.
Therefore, Zhang Jing and the others were safe and sound all the way.
Otherwise, Zhang Jing suspected that they would be robbed.
Of course, they are not afraid of being robbed......
After looking for a long time, a few people found an inn that was open for business, and now it was getting late, so let's find a place to stay first.
If there were only Zhang Jing and Yan Qingfeng, they wouldn't stay at all, and went directly out of the city towards the northern suburbs.
But there are not only Jiang Xiaoyue who are traveling with them, but also children who are a few years old, so they must be allowed to stay first.
After settling the mother and son and having a full meal, Zhang Jing and Yan Qingfeng were ready to leave for Lanruo Temple.
"It's so strange, is this all because of Lanruo Temple?" Yan Qingfeng said with a frown.
On the way back, Zhang Jing had already informed Yan Qingfeng and his wife that there was a thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple, and that there might be an unfathomable old demon of Black Mountain standing behind him.
The two of them also made plans in their hearts.
But I didn't expect that.
I haven't gone to Lanruo Temple yet, but when I arrived in Jinhua City, I had such a vision, and it seemed to have become a city of disorder.
Zhang Jing was also very surprised.
In Jinhua City, he had already sensed that there was no yin qi or ghost qi, and the residents in the city did not lose their minds, or fell into bewitchment or anything.
It seems that this is where many wicked people are simply gathered.
I booked a room at the inn and ordered a table of wine and food.
When Xiao Er was serving, Yan Qingfeng stopped Xiao Er and asked, "Xiao Er, why is this Jinhua City so messy?"
If it is an inn in another place, the guest asks this kind of question, and it must be explained casually.
How do you know that this dark-faced little er is different, put the plate on the table heavily, and said impatiently: "Eat your food, why do you care so much?
The corners of Yan Qingfeng's mouth twitched.
Fortunately, he was not a grumpy person, so he did not get angry because of this, and instead asked, "Is there garlic? Can you always get me some garlic?"
"What garlic, didn't you order a garlic green?" Xiao Er said with a glance.
Yan Qingfeng said patiently: "I want a head of raw garlic." ”
"No!" Xiao Er waved his hand impatiently, turned around with a plate and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Yan Qingfeng shouted lightly.
No matter how good your temper is, you can't help it.
For him, everything else can be endured, but if he doesn't give him garlic to let him eat, this is really unbearable!
"You kid wants to find fault, don't you?"
Xiao Er threw the serving plate to the side, wiped his right hand on his waist, and immediately felt out a bright kitchen knife!
I don't know if this little two is a part-time chef.
Touching out the kitchen knife, he was ready to scare and scare Yan Qingfeng and give him a little power.
But who is Yan Qingfeng?
Although he is far inferior to Zhang Jing, he is also a master of the Kunlun faction, and his cultivation in the late stage of the refining master realm is comparable to the existence of the mage realm.
Xiao Er just took out the kitchen knife and was about to play two fancy tricks, but suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and the hand holding the kitchen knife tightly was numb.
After that, the kitchen knife was snatched by Yan Qingfeng.
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, and then became angry and scolded: "You kid is playing me!"
After speaking, he blasted towards Yan Qingfeng's face door with a fist with his bare hands.
Of course, this punch was unsuccessful, and as soon as it was blasted out, Yan Qingfeng grabbed his wrist and controlled it. And Yan Qingfeng also used a little strength in his hand, and suddenly the pain made the shopkeeper gasp for cold air, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But he was still a man, he didn't cry bitterly because of this, crying for his father and calling his mother, he just trembled and said, "Let it go...... Let go ......"
Yan Qingfeng smiled slightly on a simple face with Doudou all the year round, looking really harmless to humans and animals, and asked, "Can you talk well now?"
The shopkeeper knew that he had mentioned the iron plate this time, so he quickly nodded and said, "Can you ...... Can talk well......"
Yan Qingfeng let go and asked again about the situation in Jinhua City.
The shopkeeper glanced at Yan Qingfeng with some jealousy, and muttered in his heart that he didn't expect that he looked like an honest fool, with such great skills and so great strength!
Then honestly introduce the current situation of Jinhua City.
Originally.
More than 20 years ago, when the Qing Dynasty was not dead, the county government of Jinhua City did not know what the reason, all the officers and soldiers and officials were slaughtered by mysterious masters, and there were no chickens and dogs.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty was already in the middle of the storm, and there was no energy to manage a small county town.
It wasn't until later that the warlords fought, and some people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang sent army soldiers to take over Jinhua City, wanting to set up a security team. But unexpectedly, just two days after the army arrived, all the soldiers were also killed!
The second time, more troops came, and the result was the same as the previous one, and they were all killed inexplicably.
After several times, Jinhua City, which was very evil, was not big in the first place, and it had no important strategic significance, so it was abandoned by the government and became a disorderly city.
Most of the squires and rich people in the city moved away if they could.
On the contrary, some extremely vicious people are constantly moving in.
Over time, it became a refuge for many wanted criminals and criminals.
It seems that as long as you arrive in Jinhua City, you don't have to worry about the government.
There are even rumors that there is a peerless murderer living in Jinhua City, who has martial arts and found Jinhua City to live in seclusion, and the government was killed by him.
He just likes such a disorderly environment, and he doesn't want the court eagle dog minions to be an eyesore in front of him.
Therefore, now everything in Jinhua City is based on fists as the right to speak, and whoever has a big fist will be powerful!
Even if they run an inn.
The idea that the customer is God does not work at all, even if the shopkeeper is a small second, he must be forced, and his attitude must be tough!
Otherwise, the store will be full of lawless and arrogant people, if you have a kind attitude, you will only suffer endless bullying, and you will be eaten every day, and the store will not be able to open at all.
After hearing this, Yan Qingfeng and Jiang Xiaoyue felt incredible.
Unexpectedly.
This Jinhua City is really like a huge bandit den!
And Zhang Jing, who didn't speak much, had some understanding in his heart and knew something.
There is no doubt that the county government in front of Jinhua City and the security team behind it were definitely not destroyed by some peerless villain, but definitely by the monsters of Lanruo Temple.
As for why these monsters did this, they just killed the people of the government and did not massacre ordinary people, it should be the handiwork of the old demon of Montenegro behind them!
Zhang Jing suddenly detached the Yin God from his body, rose from the Mud Pill Palace, and floated above Jinhua City.
Faintly, he seemed to be able to 'see' that there were countless negative auraes such as anger, fierceness, evil, murderous aura, etc., shrouded in the sky, and then continued to pass in the direction of the northern suburbs!
In the direction of the northern suburbs, it is naturally the direction of Lanruo Temple.
Quite possibly.
It is the old demon of Montenegro who needs such a disorderly city, and needs many villains and murderers to provide it with 'nutrition'.
Swish!
After observing for a while, Zhang Jingyin returned to his body, looking at the north thoughtfully, it seems that this old demon of Black Mountain is really not simple, there are some things.
But.
Zhang Jing is also looking forward to the collision with this legendary old demon of Montenegro, wanting to see how this big boss is and how much merit can be exploded!
At this time, Yan Qingfeng also finished asking questions and was about to leave the shopkeeper.
"By the way, bring me two heads of garlic!" Yan Qingfeng commanded.
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, let's return one yard to one yard, you want so much garlic, but you have to add extra money." Jinhua City is very expensive, and garlic is also expensive. ”
Yan Qingfeng said angrily: "Okay, you can treat it as the last cold garlic, and I'll give you the money for the dish!"
"Howler!"
The shopkeeper turned around and left.
But I muttered in my heart, cold garlic?
