Chapter 24: Into the City

A long time passed, and because there was no one to add firewood, the bonfire had long since been extinguished, and only a few sparks remained.

And Ma Yu and more than a dozen other monks are still the same as when they died, without the slightest change, and the strong smell of blood has not dissipated for a long time, which is disgusting, attracting several beasts to eat.

With a few sword qi in his hand, he killed the beast attracted by the smell of blood, and Li Ku found that after entering the four realms, he was much stronger than before.

Standing next to Ma Yu's corpse at this time, putting Ma Yu's dead head back on his neck, Li Ku felt a little blocked.

If it weren't for Ma Yu helping Li Ku buy time, I'm afraid he would have become one of these corpses now.

Gather the corpses together and take out the fire talisman from the Sumeru ring, the flames burning in the night are particularly eye-catching.

As for the relics of these monks, Li Ku did not touch them.

Maybe these things are a lot of wealth for Li Ku now, but now that people are dead, these may be the only things they leave in this world.

The blazing firelight illuminated Li Ku's face, and the young man at this time was a little sad and a little confused.

Step by step out of the mountain village where he has lived for many years, the outside world has taught Li Ku countless lessons in these days.

This is a world where people eat people, the weak eat the strong, and the strength is supreme, maybe what Li Ku saw and heard made him a little prejudiced, maybe what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

But after all, the young man couldn't accept it at this time, he didn't know if he would become a person like Xu Weijie and Yin San in the future, but he hoped that when the time came, at least he would still have a trace of kindness in his heart.

"If it's possible, hopefully it can change the world!"

......

In the winter season, Yecheng just had a thin snow yesterday, the chill between the world has not yet dissipated, and there are still patches of snow left in the mountains and forests and the earth outside the city, but Yecheng is clean and tidy.

Although Zhao is only a small country in the entire Southern Wilderness, it is only compared with the entire vast Southern Wilderness, and for ordinary people, the entire Zhao State is still an incomparably vast area.

Yecheng, one of the thirty-six cities of Zhao State, with the rich resources in the Green Forest Mountains, can be regarded as a top-ranked rich city, but in Zhao State, Yecheng is the most unpopular, in other places, the lord of a city can be regarded as a feudal official, with a high position.

But in Yecheng, every city lord who has been canonized for the next time is mostly degraded, although on the surface they are the same city lords, but they are the most unstatused, and they are not even qualified to go to the capital every year to meet them.

And this is mainly because the monks near Yecheng are too powerful, and the court of Zhao has long regarded this place as a place for monks.

Except for sending someone to take over after the expiration of each city lord, he regards this place as his nominal territory, and usually doesn't care about it at all.

The term of the city director is five years, but in Yecheng, every city lord has never expired, and he died violently in office.

The current city lord Yu Chengwen came to Yecheng a month ago to take up his post, his predecessor, three months ago because of a conflict with the monks in the city, died in the city lord's mansion at night, poor the previous city lord is a lot older, and finally ended up with a dead body, and it was not until the current city lord arrived that his head was taken off the city gate and was able to be buried in the ground.

Li Ku had never seen such a large city, or this was the first time Li Ku had seen a city.

While waiting to enter the city at the city gate, Li Ku saw more people than the people in the village combined.

Along the way, because he had a map and no detours, it took two days for Li Ku to finally come out of the Green Forest Mountains and come to Yecheng.

Originally, Li Ku was going to buy some dry food and the like to continue his journey, after all, it was known from the map that he had just walked a short distance, and he didn't even go out of Zhao Guo, and it was even farther away from the north, but smelling the fragrance coming from the street, Li Ku changed his mind.

In the small restaurant where life is boiling, Li Ku ordered a big bowl of beef noodles, and he was eating happily at this time.

After eating barbecue for more than a month, Li Ku only felt that the beef noodles in the bowl at this time were simply delicious in the world.

"Guest officer!"

The shopkeeper came to Li Ku's table at this time, "Do you think you can let this guest share a table with you?"

This small restaurant is just an ordinary restaurant in Yecheng, and the people who usually come and go are ordinary people in Yecheng, and Li Ku, a monk, eats here, which originally made the store's heart a little abrupt, so although the places next to it are full, and no one is allowed to come to Li Ku's table, but the identity of the person who came at this time is not ordinary.

I have lived in Yecheng for a long time, and I am no stranger to monks, so the shopkeeper is a little nervous at this time, and he is soft-spoken, for fear that he will encounter an arrogant person and suffer a meal of flesh and skin, after all, this can be regarded as commonplace in Yecheng.

The beef noodles were served with secret chili peppers, and Li was sweating slightly from the first snowy winter day.

raised his head and saw that the shopkeeper was leading a young man in a Confucian shirt at this time, and looked at him apologetically at this time.

It was noon, and the small restaurant was full at this time, only Li Ku still had an empty place.

"It's fine!"

As he spoke, Li Ku moved the bowl to his chest.

The young man in the Confucian shirt thanked Li Ku at this time, and then sat down opposite.

"Little brother doesn't seem to be from the neighborhood?"

While waiting for the beef noodles to come, the young man in the Confucian shirt said to Li Ku at this time.

This young man in a Confucian shirt, with a slender figure and a delicate appearance, is much better than Li Ku's appearance at this time.

"That's right, it's my first time in Yecheng,"

Swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Li Ku said, only then did he focus on the young man in the Confucian shirt in front of him at this time, after all, if he did this just now, it would be a little rude.

"That little brother should take a good look in Yecheng, after all, Yecheng is close to the Green Forest Mountains, rich in products, and there are many good things that can't be seen in other places. ”

Hearing this, a hint of discoloration flashed in the eyes of the young man in the Confucian shirt, and he said to Li Ku unhurriedly.

"Shopping?"

Smiling, Li Ku said: "I'll talk about it then, I was going to add something and leave Yecheng directly, but this beef noodle is too fragrant, so I stopped." ”

"The immortal master is really delicious, and the beef noodles in the small shop are very famous in the entire Yecheng. ”

When the shopkeeper gave the young man in a Confucian shirt to the top, he couldn't help but smile and answer.

For the monk in front of him, the shopkeeper felt a little different, so he had the courage to answer, after all, listening to the guests praising his beef noodles, he was also an immortal master, and he had a lot of face on his face.

For the title of immortal master, Li Ku was a little embarrassed, at this time he had just entered the four realms, and he was not well controlled, so the aura around him was agitated, although there was no harm, but there was always some trouble, after entering Yecheng, Li Ku met several people who respectfully called the immortal master.

"Oh, little brother is going to travel far away?"

Hearing this, the young man in the Confucian shirt couldn't help but ask, as if he was trying to hide something? At this time, he lowered his head and buried his head in eating noodles......
