Chapter 255: Lockdown
readx;? Linshan City has entered a state of closure, which is the second time since the arrival of the last famous infant monk. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, the situation in the city is not as lively as it was then, and the streets are deserted without pedestrians.
Despite this, the people in the city did not go without food. After all, this mess didn't appear in a day or two, and everyone had already hoarded enough rations. But those who don't have the money to buy food are out of luck.
As a result of the turmoil, the price of food in the city skyrocketed. Although the monks did not care much about this, they could tell from the faces of the poor people on the road.
Now the grain has reached the point where there is no market, and this is something that the closed city gate will inevitably bring. In addition, the appearance of spirits destroyed the villages and farmlands around the city, the destroyed granaries and the intercepted grain convoys, plus the wild beasts and fruits in the forest that could no longer be harvested. Such a large reduction in food has somewhat caused some trouble for the city.
In addition to these, the sudden influx of village and town residents is also a problem. Although most of the residents knew that the spirits were heading for Linshan City, they did not flee to seek death, but went to a relatively safe place like Cyclamen Town. However, there are some villages that don't know if it's because of IQ problems or if they are not well-informed enough, and they have come to these with a large number of villagers.
Well, now all these people are displaced and hungry. The City Lord's Mansion didn't have time to deal with these mortals, and only let the officials in charge of mortal matters deal with it. However, the officials had no time to worry about it for now, and devoted all their energy to consulting with the monks and asking them to help repair the walls.
Now the victims are beggars, but there are no pedestrians in the city, and they can only beg for food from door to door along the streets.
Often, when a family opens the door to provide food, it is besieged by dozens of people. If you don't give it, slam the door and go in and grab it. Anyway, at present, the government can't divide the manpower to manage the battle between mortals, and these people are even more unscrupulous.
Some of the Zhuji monks who had a certain amount of law enforcement power in the city saw it, but they also raised their hands to stop it, but they did not cure the symptoms. Monks hardly make things difficult for mortals, nor do they be cruel to them. After all, there are still one or two hundred years to live in this life, and reputation must be maintained, and people can't treat it as a joke.
As a result, there is now a spectacle in the streets, where the homeless people gather like horse thieves to beg for food, and gradually evolve into a mob.
Yan Kangmen and his party lived in the city. The mother and daughter of the Lu family lived in their original home. Although there are many memories of them and Lu Kun here, and Lu Kun died because of Yan Kangmen, but this kind of thing has been put down by the three of them.
On the contrary, there was a monk sign in front of their house, a wooden sign embedded in front of the door, to indicate that there were monks living in it, so that passers-by could have a refreshment. However, this brand was stolen early this morning, and it should be that a certain family was disturbed by the former high school homeless people and took the risk to steal it.
Normally, this is a big sin, but this is what a neighbor of the Lu family stole it. They knew that the mother and daughter had a good temper, and even if they were exposed, it would not be a big deal, and they could be forgiven if they apologized, so they stepped forward to take risks.
Their actions directly led to the influx of displaced people into the Lu family's mansion. Got into some trouble.
After all, Lu Kun was a monk before his death, and his family house was quite magnificent. Also living here is Wu Sai'er, who is the youngest in the worst grade, and she has a good relationship with Lu Xiaomei, so she came along.
The four women in the room were all monks, and they didn't have the slightest understanding of mortals, so they wrote 'otherworldly'. Just when there were people everywhere who couldn't eat enough, the four of them were bored, and set up a stove in the courtyard to bake pastries, and there was a pot on the top of the stove, in which the meat was boiled, and a lot of spiritual grass was crushed into it.
They also only have some staple food and jerky in their pockets, which they have received from Bai Tiantian. It's okay to have enough, but it doesn't taste good.
Everyone is tired of eating for a while, so today you deliberately spent some effort to carefully adjust these things, thinking about improving the food. As a result, at noon, the fragrance covered the streets and alleys, and it provoked the army of homeless people.
The homeless people confirmed that there were no monk signs hanging here and decided to do it.
Generally speaking, they will still be easy to talk about and ask. But today is an exception, that pot of broth with spirit grass is too fragrant. This group of people has lost the patience for normal communication, and directly slammed the gate open and rushed in one swarm.
When Lu Hongying saw this posture, she thought it was a legendary sneak attack, "The evil cultivator's method of exorcising corpses and controlling ghosts?!"
She didn't even think about it, she directly took out a wood spirit bead and smashed it at the crowd.
The wood spirit bead is the most common magic weapon, carved with the core of the spirit tree, and then write a few simple magic circles on it.
This thing has the ability to smash people when the brick-printed magic weapon becomes bigger, and it also has the ability to restore wounds and heal the pain, and it also has a certain spiritual light defense ability. For the monk, it is basically a panacea, there is no special power, it is better than nothing. But when the opponent is a mortal, this wooden ball that has grown larger smashes it over, and when the influx of homeless people smashes it into meat sauce.
Under the attack of the Wood Spirit Bead, the human skin is like a juicy berry. A slight touch splatters a large amount of red juice.
The rest of the homeless people saw that there were immortals in the house, and hurriedly fled. Only then did Lu Hongying realize that she had killed the wrong person. If you can calm down a little more and stop making such a fuss, and then casually show the identity of the monk, none of those outcasts will be injured.
She withdrew the orb, then looked at the blood-stained front door. There is nothing to eat for today's meal.
The four women used the method of drawing water from the well to clean the ground, and halfway through the wash, they found a crying little boy approaching and crying out that he was hungry.
They had a table of food that they had no appetite for, so they beckoned the little boy to come in and eat. Unexpectedly, the child took advantage of Wu Sai'er's inattention, took out a dagger hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed her in the back several times.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaomei immediately sacrificed the high-level flying sword that was assigned to her, and a flash of sword light shot out, cutting off the crazy little boy's body and body. Wu Sayer was seriously injured by a knife, but none of this was fatal to the monk's body.
Lu Hongying sacrificed a wood spirit bead to help stop the bleeding. Lu Xiaomei stared at the person who was killed by herself, and saw a crooked word 'Fu' embroidered on the hem of his clothes. When she was cleaning up the body, she saw the same embroidery on a woman's clothes. (To be continued.) )
