Chapter 18: Cangyan City
Ding Lei's face was slightly gloomy, these two were slandering him behind his back, and even threatened that he would not be able to join the Sanren Alliance.
If he was not in a good mood, he was afraid that he would have rushed forward, slapped each of the three of them, and slapped him all over the ground. But for a moment, he stabilized his mind, now is not the time to be exposed, and it is not as deep as the sea. But if these three people continue to press forward step by step, he will have no choice but to punish one or two. Ding Lei is not a reckless man, he is a literati, the sword of the literati, not to kill, but to give back to the other side, and the wind and bones are Xiaoxiao.
Thinking of this, Ding Rai didn't bother the three of them.
After that, the three of them talked some nonsense and hurried to Cangyan City.
It seems that the man in charge is very alert and does not want to say more, so he does not know any news.
The moon opens and the clouds are floating, the stars are chaotic, Ding Lei walks in the forest, does not ride the horse, and sees that there are lights in the distance, and a post station is far away on the shore.
At the entrance of the post station, there were several brown horses parked, and it was obvious that the three of them had entered the city.
The outline of the city tower has emerged, like a mountain range towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, the vast city wall, stretching for hundreds of miles, and there is a big river surrounded by it nearby, which is so big that I don't know how to say much compared to the small river in Dalin City. On the surface of the river, the city is like a dam, blocking the water and blocking the trouble, tall and long, finely carved, the texture of the brick wall comes into view, tightly fitted, standing steady.
This big city has some history, it is said that when this city was only a small city, it suffered from civil strife, when thousands of miles were full of blood, the people went up and down, ghosts cried wolves, and many armies fought outside the city. It is said that in order to break the enemy outside the city, please move the Yanshi person, as soon as the Yanshi shot, the bright moon is thousands of miles, all are covered, all the things in the world, all in charge, the palm of the mediation, such as the funnel Tiancheng, absorb the heaven and the earth, change the mountains and rivers, and be incomparably stronger.
This palm will split out the big river of Cangyan City, this big river, if you look at it from a distance, it is like a palm print made of five fingers, vast and galloping, five runoffs, galloping down, thousands of miles, all the river is monstrous.
This palm has exhausted the floating life, and also saved the lives of the common people, so that Cangyan City can be preserved, change its course, break the cocoon and be reborn, and the internal troubles will recede.
Even if Yanshi is so strong, it will inevitably lead to the fragmentation of the Central Plains, and the situation of nine kings and one emperor.
These are also what Zhang Zhen said before, and Ding Lei didn't know a lot of things he saw. All he knows is the martial arts of another world in the "Chivalry List".
Ding Lei has seen this piece of shocking and terrifying, the river that has left legends, and sighed in his heart, how strong is this Yanshi, he actually opened the river and intercepted the river, broke the sky and the earth, such a miraculous skill, why can't he unify the Central Plains, is it possible that there are other legendsโโโโ thinking of the nine kings in the other nine fields, Ding Lei feels even more unfathomable.
He straightened out his mind and walked towards Cangyan City.
Under this city with a deep history and a solid atmosphere, it has been prepared for battle, and dozens of officers and soldiers are wandering.
These officers and soldiers are all elite and have good martial arts, and they are not even comparable to the Great Xia army, and the reason why they did not enter here is also because the royal family has his share of ability, and how can he always be defeated.
The destruction of Lin Guan, maybe there is something else, Ding Lei thought of this, shook his head, and then stepped forward.
These things are not something he can grasp, but the most worthy of his attention is the matter of the Scattered People's Alliance and the Chivalrous List.
The chivalrous list has been depressed for this time, and if he is not given tasks, he can't earn points, and he can't improve his strength.
If he continues to practice with his qualifications, if he wants to practice the Three Mountains Sword Technique, I am afraid that a hundred years will not be enough, and this is still the result of his good qualifications.
A row of officers and soldiers in front of him stopped Ding Lei at once.
The long halberd in his hand is full of light, and under the moonlight, it is especially cold.
"Who is coming? Show me your identity?" The officers and men at the head of the group spoke in a heavy tone, with an indispensable coldness, and an extraordinary temperament.
The closer they get to the royal family of Tianlin Domain, the more elite soldiers and strong generals there are, the more numerous they are, Ding Lei was not infected by the momentum, and arched his hand: "I am Ding Lei, I came to Cangyan City to join the Sanren Alliance, this is my token." โ
The wooden tablet given by Zhang Zhen was taken out, and the words "Hundred Fist Gate" were carved on it.
"It turned out to be a disciple of the Hundred Fist Sect! Fortunately, I will be lucky!" The first officer and soldier glanced at it and immediately changed colors.
Ding Lei smiled and took back the wooden tablet, thinking of the three villains of the Shadow Sect and the Impermanence Sword Sect before, and said, "May I ask, did three people enter the city before?"
"You said that it was a disciple of the Shadow Sect and the Impermanence Sword Sect, it's strange to say, they are also inquiring about someone, and you are the one who won't talk about it. The officer and soldier looked at Ding Leidao suspiciously.
Ding Lei's face remained unchanged, and he said, "How long have they been gone, and where have they gone?"
"I don't know about that, they're in a hurry, and it doesn't seem like they're going to stay for long. The officer and soldier shook their heads.
"That's fine, thanks for letting me know. Ding Lei arched his hand slightly, then straightened up and walked towards the gate of Cangyan City.
Passing by rows of officers and soldiers who were waiting solemnly, Ding Lei did not feel the pressure at all, but felt a lot more stable.
Inside the eaves arch bucket, the houses stand in a forest, the lights on all sides are like day, the light is like the sun, the whole ground is paved with bluestone slabs, clearly visible, distinct, and the rows of houses, form a strong resonance, antiqueโโโโ countless lanterns are inlaid in front of the eaves, the bright light is brilliant, as if entering the bustling downtown like a brocade.
At this time, although it is night, it is also beautiful, and the festive colors cover the entire city, as if to welcome the arrival of the new year. All around was shouting, urging, laughing, and even juggling, in the corners of the doorway, dancing knives and guns, in different postures. The scene here is completely two worlds from the front-line war.
Ding Lei walked through one by one, and there were inns, pastry shops, pharmacies, baked cake stalls, and countless stalls and shops next to him, and they were dizzying.
He took a deep breath and thought of the former Dalin City, although it was not as prosperous as this, but it was also a city that was natural and pure.
"Big brother, buy a bunch of sugar gourds. As he walked, a child pounced on him, pitiful, dressed in shabby clothes, gray-headed, and weak, but holding a heavy sugar gourd stick, which was adorned with red-hot sugar gourds.
Ding Lei thought of the time when Dalin City was in the past, there were often starving people on the front line and coming to beg, although there were no beggars in Cangyan City now, there were also many hard-working people like this child.
"How much is a string?"
"Yiwen!" came the child's immature voice.
He quickly took out three copper coins from the package given by Zhang Qian: "I want a string, are these enough?"
When the child saw the copper coin in his hand, his eyes lit up, showing a look of longing, and he said, "Thank you, big brother, for the reward!"
With that, he jumped up and ran down an alley.
There are already a lot of copper coins, and for ordinary families, it can be said that they are eating a meal, and they can even eat steamed buns for a whole day.
Ding Lei watched the child run away and smiled slightly.
Since he was a child, he didn't live as hard as this child, all because of the help of Master Luo Qingfeng, if there was no Luo Qingfeng, there would be no happiness in his life, but unfortunately, now, time has passed, and heaven and man are separated forever.
When he was thinking about it, the chivalrous list suddenly jumped and sent out a message: "Ding Lei, help the children, chivalrous and benevolent, not bad, please always remember the principle of chivalry and pay attention to the follow-up side quests." โ
"There are follow-up side quests?" Ding Lei's heart moved, and he immediately looked at the unfathomable alley.
It's a pity that the child has run away, and it is deep and quiet inside, and it is difficult to find a trace.
If the color is dark today, the stars and the moon are hanging high, when it is time to rest, what task is there, maybe tomorrow when you meet children again, you can help one or two.
This is the first time Ding Lei has received a message in a few days, and he originally thought that the "chivalrous list" had forgotten him, but now he is alert.
He walked through the streets of Cangyan City and came to an intersection where there were three inns nearby, he chose one "Linyun Inn" and walked in.
This inn is decorated in classical fashion, beautifully furnished, full of lamps, exquisite railings, small tables and chairs, and vases at the corners, colorful and colorful. There was a small servant at the door, and seeing Ding Lei's extraordinary demeanor, he said continuously: "This guest officer, do you need to eat or stay in the hotel?"
"Let's stay at the hotel. Bring me a few steamed buns and pickles. Ding Lei commanded.
Although he now has 300 texts, he can also save money, which is also his consistent habit.
Don't ask for more money, don't be greedy for food and lodging, don't admire wealth and nobility, and don't think vainly, this is what Master Luo Qingfeng has always taught him, Ding Lei accepted it humbly, and has become more and more emulated by the sage over the years.
It was nightfall, and there were not many people eating in the inn, and many tables and chairs were empty, except for the side corners, where three men were sitting.
One of the three has white sideburns, his face is like cold frost, he has his own bearing in calm, and he invisibly gives people pressure, he is carrying an iron sword, the sword body is like a dragon flying, free and easy, and his temperament is inconsistent, I saw him smile faintly: "Now that the Scattered People Alliance is fully open, it can be described as a gospel for our people in the rivers and lakes!"
"Yes, but the requirements of the Scattered Alliance are a bit high, it takes two hundred catties of strength, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it!" I saw the young man next to the pale man with pale sideburns shaking his head. He was like a thin monkey, with shriveled skin, weak speech, and fragile appearance. On his arm was a gauntlet made of fine iron, which, if unfolded, would reveal a sharp claw with a terrifying sharpness.
It was another burly man, who looked more pleasing to the eye than him, with a majestic body, and even vigorous hair, and he was a fierce man at first glance, this man hammered his chest and said: "You are our Yuxiang County's 'fast claw' Wang Wu, 200 catties can't do it, then don't mix it up!"
"As you all know, since I was poisoned, I have been sick, my body has shrunk, and I can't be saved, and I will be wasted in this life. The wizened man lamented.
The white man said: "I have heard for a long time that Cangyan City is a rich and noble place, and it is not far from Tianjing City, and there may be many medical experts here, who can diagnose and treat your pulse, don't be discouraged." โ
"Hey. Look at your luck, I can't find a good doctor in the past two days, I know that my disease is difficult to treat, and you don't need to persuade me. The thin man was pale, drank tea, and smiled bitterly. Chivalry list
