Chapter 111: Jinguan City
Lin Yi originally wanted to convince people with virtue, and slowly persuaded these two people to form an alliance with him to fight against the five major factions, but later gave up. Although these two people will still remember his kindness in rescuing them for a while, I am afraid that it will not be long before they forget it.
Moreover, this cooperation is based on absolute strength, and Lin Yi's cultivation is so far from them, he will not cooperate on an equal footing. Since he had found this Ancient Qi Dan in this treasure trove to control them, why not!
Especially the Lady of the White Bones, this old woman is a madman. For the sake of his own faith, for his religion, for the sake of the white horse god, he can do anything, even if he is afraid of killing his parents. Cooperating with such a person, Lin Yi naturally will not rest assured. If you talk to such a person about reasoning, or if you are using virtue to convince people, this way will not work. With these three corpses taking the Yuan Dan, Lin Yi can finally sit back and relax. Although this could only be controlled to the realm below their Refining God Void, it was enough, because in this world for hundreds of years, he had never heard of an immortal cultivator who had advanced to the realm of refining God Returning Void, not even that Void Pill.
And that Alan, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't let her take it. This Alan grew up in the ancestral garden of the Di people like an outdoor paradise, and is naturally kind by nature, innocent, and an obedient girl. Even if he did something against his will, he was persecuted by the Lady of the White Bones. Since Lin Yi is now controlling the White Bone Lady, Alan has naturally become a harmless person to humans and animals. Besides, Lin Yi believed in his own ability, and sooner or later he would conquer her wholeheartedly.
The three bodyguards, one is as thin as a skeleton, like a dead corpse, and the other two are a pair of dwarfs, which is too eye-catching, and will attract the attention of passers-by wherever they go. Lin Yi later asked them to secretly follow him and Alan from a distance.
Lin Yi is really like an arrow at this time, the prince has been missing for three months, and at this time, he is afraid that the East Palace has become a pot of porridge. At this time, the imperial court was afraid that it had already informed the world that the crown prince had passed away (read hong, in ancient times, the emperor died and became a "collapse". The prince died with "薨"). is only afraid of his position as the crown prince, at this time, he is only afraid that he has been taken by others, and he must feel that Kyoto Luoyang City will go as soon as possible!
"The front is about to arrive at Chengdu City!Yao Da, Yao Er, you two come out quickly!" Lin Yi had an idea in his senses, and Yao Da and Yao Er appeared in front of him.
"Young master, what's going on!" Lin Yi asked the two dwarfs in front of him who were exactly the same, both in red robes, although Lin Yi couldn't tell which of them was Yao Da and which was Yao Er, in order to distinguish them, Lin Yi could only force them to start with their hairstyles. This one pigtail on his head is naturally Yao Da, and the one who wears two pigtails is Yao Er.
These two are completely different from the Lady of the Bones. But like old naughty boys, Lin Yi took them naturally to add a little fun to this lifeless atmosphere.
Although these two people are murderous demons, Lin Yi can also feel that they are men with true temperament. Lin Yi repaid his grievances with virtue and spent a lot of money to redeem Yao Da, Lin Yi could feel that their gratitude was sincere, even if there were no three corpses to capture the Yuan Dan, the two brothers were afraid that they would no longer be enemies with Lin Yi.
"This is the city of Chengdu, which is the largest city in Yizhou, and it cannot be compared with the small cities of Xiyang. You have to keep your mouth shut, if you get me into any trouble, I'm going to make you walk around without eating!" Lin Yi lectured at the two of them. Along the way, these two people have naturally not been honest. Countless birds and beasts have been killed. Now in a big city like Chengdu, there are no birds and beasts, but I am afraid that they will attack people.
"Young Master, please rest assured, our two brothers are cultivating this blood divine skill. Although it is necessary to rely on blood every few days to maintain cultivation, we still can't look down on the blood of these ordinary people, they eat whole grains every day, their stomachs are full of fat and oil, and their minds are full of intrigue. Obscene desire, the whole body has long been blue. Although people are the spirits of all things, the quality of this blood is not as high as the blood aura content of those chickens, cats and dogs. Therefore, our brother would rather be hungry for a few days than get his mouth dirty!" Yao Da said anxiously.
"It has long been rumored among this cultivators that the blood boy is a demon who sucks human blood, and even the people in this Shu know the Tao!" Lin Yi wondered.
"Naturally, this is a rumor spread by those famous and decent people! Our two brothers have always been loners, and they are not afraid of itching when there are many lice! What is the use of this reputation! Although we have also killed people, we are not as indiscriminately killing innocents and eating human blood as they say!" Yao Er was anxious to explain.
"Yes, yes, it seems that you can think about it!Why do my generation cultivate immortals, you should be free and unrestrained, why should you be burdened by a cheap name!" Lin Yi replied.
Lin Yi originally wanted to leave Chengdu City after a little rest and go straight to Chang'an. Only after arriving in Chang'an, when he arrived in the mansion of the great general of the West and mastered the military horses of the East Palace, could he have the capital to return to the city of Luoyang. Although at this time, he was afraid that the general of the expedition to the west had already changed his master, but even so, he had to do so, after all, at this moment, the elite of the East Palace was afraid that he was still in Chang'an.
But when she really arrived in the city of Chengdu, Alan was very happy, like an excited bird, after all, she grew up in the valley isolated from the world since she was a child, and naturally she had never seen such a prosperous place. Even if you go out once in a while, for unnecessary trouble, you will only go through barren mountains and mountains, inaccessible places, and you will be far away from these big cities.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi came all the way, but he went to that prosperous place, and this Alan was naturally very happy. Lin Yizhi said that although a person like him is very strong on the outside, deep down she is still a girl's family, so she naturally wants to buy and sell this and taste that. Lin Yi also saw that she was rarely so happy, and also accompanied her to visit Chengdu City.
This Chengdu city is located in the center of the country of abundance, as the capital of the Shu Han Kingdom, although the hundreds of years after countless wars, the city head changes the banner of the king, but the prosperity is still the same.
The earliest origin of this Chengdu city, according to historical records, about the middle of the 5th century B.C. in the middle of the ancient Shu Enlightened Dynasty IX moved the capital from Guangdu Fan Township to Chengdu to build the city.
Regarding the origin of the name Chengdu, it is recorded that it is borrowed from the historical process of the construction of the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the name Chengdu was obtained after the king of Zhou Qianqi "lived in one year and became a gathering, two years into a city, and three years in Chengdu". The pronunciation of the word "Chengdu" in Shu language is Chengdu. "The one who 'becomes' is 'Bi Ye' and 'the end'", and the meaning of Chengdu is "the 'final capital' of Shu, or 'the most resounding capital'."
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan was the "Yizhou Mu", moved from the original Guanghan County to Chengdu, and used Chengdu as the state, county, and county to govern the place, and since then, Chengdu has been the seat of the state capital of the entire Yizhou land. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Chengdu had a population of 76,000 households and nearly 400,000 people, becoming one of the six major metropolises in the country (Chang'an, Luoyang, Handan, Lintao, Wan, Chengdu). However, when Chengdu was the most famous, it was still the former capital of Shu and Han, where Liu Bei, the patriarch of the Han family, built the capital and became the emperor, and became the focus of the world for a while.
"Brother, let's go, don't buy it!" Alan said to Lin Yi with a calm face. The Di people call men and elder brother the same as the Qiang people, and the female is Ah Mei.
"What's the matter, the Shu brocade in this store is the best in Chengdu!" Lin Yi said to Alan Yi. During the Western Han Dynasty, Chengdu's brocade industry has been very developed, with "Jinguan", so there is "Jinguan City" that is, "Jincheng" is called "Jincheng", come to Chengdu, how can you not visit these Shu brocade shops!
The shopkeeper saw that this pair of men and women were brightly dressed, and they should be the children of rich and noble families, but they were still smiling when they just came in, but now they don't know what contradictions the little couple has made. Naturally, he will not miss this business, and hurriedly shouted and sold: "Two guest officers, we're a century-old brand in the city, don't tell you that the grandfather of our shopkeeper was the first Jin official of Shu Han, you see how beautiful the color is, how good the texture is, out of our 'Li Jinji', I'm afraid that you will never find the second one in the huge Chengdu city! This is also your luck, in the past few months, there have been countless displaced people in the city of Chengdu, this labor is naturally a lot cheaper, and the output has caught up. Le Kam Kee's goods must be booked in advance!"
Alan was still very ugly, Lin Yi finally found out the problem at this time, it turned out that there were coolies standing in the backyard of this store, with yellow faces and thin muscles, the older ones were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones were only in their early tens, working desperately like a machine, but the whip in the hands of the overseer next to him was making a loud sound.
Although the appearance of these children could not be seen at a glance, it was clear from the clothes that these people were originally from Di. Alain saw countless compatriots begging along the way, and his mood was already very low, and he couldn't imagine that there were so many children who were squeezed out of value as coolies.
Lin Yi also guessed at this time that since last year, Guanzhong has been a big Han and many places in Yongliang Prefecture have not harvested, and they have been forced to leave their hometowns and flee in groups to other places. Such peasants who fled the famine were called "displaced people". Shu is far away from the Central Plains, and has always been relatively wealthy, and the people live a relatively stable life. It is no wonder that there are more beggars in this Chengdu city than in Chang'an City, and there are naturally not so many people in this place, which are naturally the actions of those displaced people.
"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, how many silver taels do these teenagers employed by your family need?" Lin Yi hurriedly inquired, of course he would not be empty-handed in vain, all the Shu brocades that Alan had taken a fancy to him had already been bought.
The shopkeeper didn't want to tell Lin Yi, but for the sake of him making a big deal at a time, he said quietly: "Seeing that you two are so sincere, I don't tell him about ordinary people, but now I will tell you secretly, these little guys are orphans in that group of homeless people, and the government can't control it for a while, so they sell it to our merchant, and the price is naturally very favorable!"
