The Golden Crown Chapter 50: The Little Woman
Inuzi shop is an inconspicuous wine inn in the east of the city, usually few people come here, because it never collects money, only entertains those who are dying, since a few years ago the city lord issued an order to take the heart, some rich and noble families have paid for such a joint venture.
Said that he doesn't charge money, only entertains the dead, and this place is naturally dyed with the word bad luck, usually those handsome men never dare to set foot here, just smell the fragrance of wine in the distance.
I don't know what apricot blossom wine is made of, it's not as simple as apricot blossoms, and the people who make wine don't know at all, for the sake food sent, it's just some red powder. The wine brewed is also the most fragrant and delicious in the Sealed Demon City, but these are known only to those who have drunk them, but they are all dead.
The shopkeeper is an ordinary person who looks like he is only twenty or thirty years old, and he doesn't know him when he throws it on the street, it's too ordinary, at this time he is fiddling with the abacus with one hand, leaning his elbow on the counter and supporting his chin, looking at the sky above the door, there is not a single star in the dark sky, and the whole person looks relaxed.
The girl in white had already washed her clothes, and after leaving the inn, she smelled the wine from afar, and walked along the road, although the wine here was far inferior to that in the palace, but there was also a different aroma.
After entering, I sat down on a chair, and the shopkeeper saw that the woman who came in was a little raw, and probably didn't know the rules, and when she was about to drive away, she saw a beggar walk in. I was also muttering in my heart, what day is today? There were actually three people here, and the previous one was the famous "sacrificer" on the wall of the killing heart, but it was really lively, and he was usually used to being alone, and he planned to stay with them for a while, and he was not in a hurry to chase away customers.
The girl in white just entered with her front foot, and someone came from her back foot, and she didn't care, such a fragrant wine shop, it should be a common thing for people to patronize it. It can be seen that the person who came was not only a beggar, but also the sloppy young man he had just met, and his face was immediately a little ugly.
Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, and she said coldly, "Why are you?"
Zijun was stunned for a moment, could it be that the person in front of him knew herself? Is she the next general? How can she not look like it, and there is no white light on her body, or is it someone who knew herself before she lost her memory?
After thinking about it, he hurriedly asked, "Do you know me? Who am I? Who are you, and where is my family?"
The girl in white was a little annoyed, it was the first time she had seen this way of accosting her, would she like her the first time she met, and then follow her all the way? Thinking of this, she looked at Zijun with a face full of mud, and the smell on her body made her tilt her head slightly, covering her nose with her hands, and feeling a little disgusted with this person's approach.
Immediately said viciously: "I don't know, you'd better stay away from me, untouchable, if you think anything about me, you will die an ugly death! No, you are ugly!"
Zijun was a little puzzled at the time, first saying that he knew himself, and then let himself stay away from her, and put himself to death, could it be the enemy before?
"Don't you really know me?" the boy asked again, and seeing that her expression was obviously very unkind to him, he walked to the side with a sigh.
The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Do you want to eat something?"
The girl in white said casually: "Come here with any good wine and food, this girl is hungry, don't worry about not having enough money!"
The shopkeeper smiled: "I can see it, but girl, I don't charge money for food here, you can accompany me more, wait a minute!"
Then he looked at Zijun again, and didn't care whether he was poor or an outlaw, the young man said, "I don't eat, I'm here to ask you something!"
The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, how could the beggar behave a little differently, and what could he do?
Zijun said with a solemn expression: "When did you set up this dog shop, and how many people did you entertain?"
The girl in white was very puzzled, what could he do if he asked this question? Could it be that he was asking how to do business, and he really had some brains to ask such a solid shop. But when she heard the next words, she was also a little confused.
I saw the middle-aged man close his eyes, fell into memories, fiddled with the abacus, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "It has been set up since four years ago, and it entertains one person a day, and there are more than 1,460 people!"
Zijun received an answer and asked again: "Then where have all these 1,460 people gone?"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened slightly, shook his head and said, "All of them are dead, and none of them are lucky to survive." ”
The young man's expression was solemn, even a little angry, and he asked, "What are the characteristics of these people?" or are they good or evil?"
"Not to mention good and evil, there are good and evil, but the characteristics are very blessed on weekdays, such as Xu Ji, who helped others build a building, fell from the dozens of meters high Moon Tower, broke two ribs on the first day, and the next day was miraculously better, and for example, Chen Yi (miao) who sheltered from the rain under the big tree, a thunderbolt shone down his face, and he just fainted, and the next day was fine, most of these people avoided natural disasters, but they couldn't avoid man-made disasters, and their names would be written on the wall of killing hearts! According to the city lord, the stability of the Demon Sealing Array requires these people with good luck and small luck!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, as if he had opened his heart, he continued, who had always had a gloomy face.
"Hey~ It's really unfortunate, like those beggars on the street now may be the most free, although it's a little bitter, but you don't know, there were once a few immortals who were all the rage in the city, but unfortunately the momentum was too much, the people in the portal were written on the wall of killing hearts one after another, and simply took his wife and children to be beggars, without the slightest falsehood, all he ate were stinky steamed buns and rotten pickles, and those things and dogs didn't eat, but even if he was a beggar, his luck was still very good, and he could see others on the street and couldn't see the spirit stone, but he didn't dare to pick it up!"
"On the contrary, the people who are close to the city lord, all of them are rich and noble, and they are sent to the Demon Sealing Sect to receive formal cultivation and become immortals, we people have a rotten life, don't think about it, you have to follow him everywhere, someone dares to resist, it is said that the heart will be hollowed out the next day, and it will not affect the normal "operation" of the heart killing wall, those who are sick and die, those who die of work, and the family is not visible, and when you see it, people have already helped you bury it, only to see a cold stone tablet, I am afraid that the heart will also be hollowed out to stabilize the sealing of the demon array!"
The girl in white was a little shocked in her heart, and she was afraid that these words would arouse the anger of those people, so she said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, can you serve the food first, my stomach is hungry." ”
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and said, "Immediately, immediately." Then he shouted twice to the back to prepare the meal and the like, without mentioning the word wine.
Zijun touched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly wanted to crush the city lord to ashes, sweep away those who thought they were superior, and then leave a quiet place, have memories to find memories, leave without memories, and return a peace in the world, but after a little thought, he was very interested in the Demon Sealing Array and the Demon Sealing Sect.
He cursed secretly: "Extremely hateful!" Then he asked: "Are the immortals you are talking about really immortals? If you have that strength, why don't you care about it?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "I'm afraid not, it's just that I've lived here since I was a child, and I haven't seen anything in the world, for us, being able to fly into the sky and pick up a stone weighing 10,000 catties is beyond the realm of mortals, what is it if it's not an immortal?
The girl in white sneered: "The frog at the bottom of the well!"
The young man said again: "Do you know what kind of demon is sealed under the Demon Sealing Array?"
"I don't know, it's said to be very terrible, like to eat people, bloodthirsty, thousands of years ago was sealed here by a few strong people, the people left behind are here to guard, many years have passed, it has become us now, those people are also the ancestors who have passed away!"
After receiving the reply, Zijun got up and left, muttering: "I'm just here to find memories, if I find it, I'll leave, and I will solve all the things that make me unhappy before then, such as "those people"!"
The middle-aged man listened to his heart, his face was calm and he didn't speak, and when he talked to this person, he found that he asked all the key points, but he was a little sad in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not survive tonight.
Looking up, it's time for this store to be replaced.
But as long as the beggar succeeds, he can do his part, which is enough!
The girl in white looked at these in her eyes and sneered, "You just believe in him like that?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, he's a swordsman!"
The girl in white shook her head, showing an expression that seemed to disappoint you, moved her eyebrows lightly, closed her eyes and sensed for a while, and then said: "You don't know his realm, I'll tell you so, stepping into cultivation, he has only entered the second stage, I have entered the fifth stage, I have just sensed for a while, there are more than fifty breaths stronger than him, there are eight stronger than me, the strongest of them is about to catch up with the person I brought, I am not afraid, he is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, sooner or later he will die!"
The middle-aged man asked an inconsequential question: "Will you help him?"
The girl in white gritted her teeth and said: "Impossible, he annoyed me before, and he hasn't settled accounts with him yet, and I don't have the leisure to leave in a few days, and then you will wait for someone to conquer this territory!"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Little girl, you look up at the sky, and then look at the people on the earth, why have you lived for thousands of years and have not been conquered, how can you conquer it when you say a word of conquest?
After a while, when the food was finally served, the girl in white put these things behind her, and said while eating, "Why is there no wine?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If you drink it, you will die, do you still want to drink it?"
"Bring it up!"

Zijun walked all the way through the streets, and the sparse pedestrians were not like this every night, and Kako only went on stage once a week to perform. Whichever day is smooth, which day goes.
Some people are no longer satisfied with Xiangzi, who can only play the piano, and will start teaching him to sing with two hands, but these are too difficult for her, Xiangzi has always been unable to learn, just before learning the piano, she learned for two or three months.
The people in the audience only dared to bark from afar, and the thunder was rolling in the sky, and the dark clouds were thick, and sometimes there were lightning warnings, just like a person with a knife or a gun, and those domestic dogs only dared to bark from afar.
This Xiangzi is innocent and pure, everything is the most primitive, for those who don't understand the meaning of people's words at all, they can't listen to it, they all say that ignoring is the greatest contempt, and it is vividly shown in Xiangzi, and those people are a lot more disciplined next time they touch a body of ashes.
The raindrops fell, paused three feet on Zijun's body, the beads and water droplets looked transparent and pure, and only landed after the boy left, the rain became heavier and heavier, watching him pass through the rain, walking in the rain without a drop of water, slowly disappearing at the end of the street.
Those tall and low buildings, like people hiding in the mist, were slowly shrouded in heavy rain and disappeared.
The woman with the flower umbrella was dressed in pink, and when she saw the scene just now, he stood in the rain, and the flower umbrella resisted thousands of raindrops for her.
Seeing that her lips are red and her teeth are white, her complexion is ruddy, her hair is hanging low, a gust of wind blows, and she suddenly dances wildly, but she is beautiful, a good-looking smile floats slightly at the corner of her mouth, and her body disappears here out of thin air as soon as she moves. It rained so hard that no one noticed her.
Zijun went straight to Xiangzi's performance place, this kind of weather performance is also a common thing, set up a high shed, the rain fell on it, played a rain song, it was noisy, people didn't like to listen, but those grass and flowers that had dried up for a long time were happy!
The young man sat in an inconspicuous corner behind him, and when Xiangzi saw that Zijun had finally come, she showed him a playful and lovely smile, which made the people in front of Zijun suddenly feel spring, and after a few thunders, they calmed down.
The rain is getting louder and louder, some people wonder if the rainstorm is coming, hold an umbrella and go back to see if the house is flooded, in fact, the drainage system of the Sealed Demon City is also better, although this kind of rain is very large, but it still does not flood the door of their own homes, unless it rains like this for three days and three nights before it can reach the point of flooding the city.
Those who have left may have three points of reason that they are afraid of death, and they are afraid that some traitor will take advantage of the rainy night to do something that will affect them. When the time comes, it is the most terrible to die unclear.
Xiangzi didn't know what it was at this time, most of it was covered by the sound of rain, which seemed to be in line with this scene, and the aftermath was lingering, shocking and relieving.
Some people in the audience applauded again and again.
The woman in white also came here with a flower umbrella, and it seemed that she was not happy as long as there was a prince.
No, the people are already full, so they can only stay in the back like him, and immediately glance at Zijun.
Seeing that the young man didn't notice her, his heart was even more angry, holding his breath, he grabbed a small stone from the ground and smashed it at Zijun, the young man turned his head to look at it, and heard her mocking: "Look at your lustful mind, get into other people's hearts!"
Zijun was not angry, and said calmly: "It's you again, where did I provoke you?"
The girl looked up and muttered, "You just tripped me and soiled my clothes, do you know how precious it is?
The young man turned to ask: "Don't you say you don't want me to pay for it? It turns out that you are also such an untrustworthy person! Not as good as Xiangzi at all!"
The girl was even more angry, she did say so before, but after all, people were at fault first, and they didn't even apologize, and now they were unreasonable, and they actually said that they were not as good as Xiangzi, and they almost broke out at that time, and after taking a deep breath, she snorted coldly and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, but you tripped me, I want you to apologize, otherwise I will kill you......! Do you know the consequences of this girl?"
"I don't know, and I didn't pick you up, and can you kill me?"
The girl in white was speechless, and continued: "Do you know that your words just now seem to be kind, but in fact they have killed others?
Zijun smiled, unmoved, and the girl in white muttered there again, saying that a good person was killed by himself like this, he was really a harmful spirit, and the god who was killed by a thousand knives deserved to be born a pariah to be a pariah, and said everything he could think of.
The Master taught him that why should you care about what people who can't get into your heart, ignoring it is the greatest contempt, and the less you care, the more annoyed others will be!

Dog shop, the shop's name is Xu Changsheng, today Chinese New Year's Eve eight, he has been working in this shop for four years, and today he told the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time, and told a mediocre swordsman, hoping that this person can reverse the situation of the Sealed Demon City.
The current "Zhengda Guangming" of the current Demon City dies one person a day, all because of the so-called heart-killing wall, and the secret death is dozens of times as much, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city, except for natural death, more than ten people die in a day is very terrifying, most of them are civilians, not rich and noble families, and civilians have great luck, but they dare not show it, those rich and noble are some brainless former coolies, and the city lord has something to do with the current which one is not rich and noble? Because of the city lord's absurd words that the people are fish and flesh and the sky is the sky. Everything is starting to get out of the ordinary.
It is righteous and righteous, but if you look closely, you will find that the horse's feet are slowly revealed, the original intention of bloodthirsty is not covered, people are decreasing day by day, I am afraid that it will be all over in another year or two, and it may not be a year or two, before it was just one person a day, and it was very good in secret, and now it is secretly starting to act, I am afraid that it will not be long before this number will double again!
Thinking of these, Xu Changsheng shook his head secretly, he was born to be confined in this small world, just like being imprisoned in a circle, the fat and strong ones were slaughtered and eaten first, and those thin ones who couldn't resist the wind were raised first, which was really chilling.
The middle-aged man was lying on the counter, revealing these, and at this time he was just waiting for death, compared to the previous spiritless he was a little burning at this time, looking at the sky, hoping that the young man could really succeed, because he saw the extraordinaryness of the young man, and said that it was exaggerated and even despicable to the world! This is in the bones, what he sees on the outside, is just like rouge to cover up the ugly appearance of people, but the young man he saw came in the opposite way, covered it with filth, that is, it was used to cover his nobility!
Zijun has never said it, just because some of the master's words, although the old man said it plainly, the young man carved it into his heart, and the time has not yet come, and the edge is revealed!
The middle-aged man was stunned, and a tall man in black walked in, with a knife hanging from his waist, to take his life, his face was covered with a black cloth, and his voice was hoarse, because he didn't want people to hear it.
After coming, he was not in a hurry to make a move, but said flatly: "What kind of person does that person look like?"
Xu Changsheng just shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you think I'll tell you?"
"Whew-"
When the cold light flickered, the man in black rushed with a knife, the speed was extremely fast, and he arrived in front of the middle-aged man almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Changsheng had already closed his eyes, and after a while, there was still no movement, only a thud was heard.
With the clanging sound of the knife falling to the ground, when he opened his eyes, he saw a terrifying scene, at the center of the eyebrows of the man in black, a bloody hole had appeared, and he died so quickly that his eyes were not closed, and his expression was still the hideous appearance when he fought with a knife.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly went to close the door, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted in his mouth: "Which immortal raised his noble hand?"
No one answered, at this moment, the little cook hid in the crack of the door and peeked, and was seen by Xu Changsheng at a glance, at this moment, the little chef turned ruthless, rushed over with a kitchen knife, and then fell to the ground without warning, and a blood hole appeared in the back of his neck, all very strange, no blood flowed, just a hole appeared out of thin air, and then the person fell to the ground and died!
The little cook is just a little cook, the man in black is a monk in the Jindan realm, and the golden pill has been condensed in his body, and he can fly to the sky, that is, the immortals in these mouths are the same, and he still died suddenly, which made Xu Changsheng's back a cold breeze!
Immediately, he shouted again: "Thank you to the immortals for coming to the rescue, it is unforgettable!"
"I'm not an immortal, call me the Ant Emperor, these people, you go find a place to bury them, they can last a day, before leaving, my lord will soon make this place quiet! It's just that it's not time yet, you can start cleaning as soon as the freshness is over!" There was a sound of sawing in Xu Changsheng's mind, but he could still hear a rough idea, and he was about to bow again.
"You're in my way, get out of the way!"
Xu Changsheng looked at it as a small ant, but it was different, three times larger than ordinary ants, and he could speak human words, but he didn't expect that young man to have such a means.
This is the real immortal!
————
Looking back, seeing that the girl in white was unrelenting, Zijun was also a little annoyed, I have been here for three days, and today I finally listened to the incense and play back to the piano, but there is a person next to you who has been counting you down, saying ugly words, and detaining stones and dirt to throw you, no one can stand it!
His tone was a little angry: "Are you annoyed, can you not disturb me listening to the incense piano?"
The girl in white froze her movements, and her expression was also stagnant, obviously frightened by the beggar boy who had always been good at talking, but then she comforted herself, others are civilians, what kind of person is she? How can even those state and county officials who have to kneel on the ground and dare not raise their heads when they see it? It must be an illusion.
Immediately he was not angry, and the young man said indifferently: "The little girl is not talented, I want to slap you to death!"
