Mo Yunshen is currently leading the future Demon Emperor of Demon Underworld Palace. This troublesome person does not dare to cause trouble. When he was still more than a hundred feet away from the city gate, he quietly put the Zixiao Sword into his arms and followed a group of traveling merchants towards the city gate.
"Hey, you guys stop!"
Several traveling merchants walking in front were about to enter the city when a soldier who was originally standing on one side of the city gate suddenly took two steps and blocked the way of several traveling merchants.
Most of the soldiers who guard the city will collect some so-called city entry money from merchants like them. This is also an almost unwritten rule.
The leading traveling businessman obviously knew this very well. He quickly took a few steps forward, nodded and bowed, and said with a condescending smile, "Master, we are all traveling businessmen from Chanzhou in the South China Sea. We brought pearls, a local specialty, to the Sea of Clouds." Exchange some small money in the city. If there is anything that offends you, please give me some advice from the military master, and we will definitely change it."
As he spoke, he took out another satin bag from his arms and handed it to the sergeant's hand.
The sergeant held the cloth bag in his hand and weighed it a few times. After taking a few glances at the exposed pocket, I saw that there were about a dozen pearls inside. Each one is round and full, with a translucent luster, and feels slightly warm when held in the hand. It is the Blue Moon Pearl that is a specialty of Nanhai Chanzhou. Although these dozen beads are not of the highest quality, they are in good condition and can be considered to be top quality.
He nodded now, feeling slightly satisfied. He took the bag of pearls into his arms and waved his hand to let them into the city.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a soft shout was heard from the pergola next to the city gate. I saw several Yun family children in the pergola. At some point, they all stopped chatting and looked here.
A handsome man sitting in the middle seat glanced at the merchants with squinted eyes and stopped the sergeant from letting them go.
Mo Yunshen quietly poked his head out from behind everyone, and saw the handsome man with a kind face, but there was a hint of coldness between his eyebrows.
The man stood up slowly and walked to the side of the traveling businessmen. He didn't say much, he just walked around a few people. The leading businessman's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously put a hand on his chest, staring at the handsome man uneasily.
"Haha, although the Blue Moon Pearl in Zhanzhou, South China Sea is famous, it is just an ordinary treasure. The most famous ones are corals, sharks and rays. I think for you businessmen, sharks and rays are definitely the ones. I can’t get it out, but the coral should have it.”
Following the delicate words of the handsome man, the expressions on the faces of these traveling businessmen became increasingly grim. A flash of anger flashed in the leader's eyes, then disappeared randomly.
He laughed a few times and replied, "This young man is joking. I think businessmen like us can only sell some blue moon beads at most. As for the corals and other valuables you mentioned, each one is worth thousands of gold. We just want to buy them. I don’t have the capital either.”
As he spoke, he took from the hand of someone beside him a pearl that was glowing with pink light and was as big as a baby's fist. He held it in front of the handsome man and said, "This pastel fluorescent pearl is Biyue." It's the best among pearls, I hope you can accept it with a smile."
The handsome man took the pearl in his hand and played with it, then stuffed it back into the traveling merchant's hand. With a gloomy smile on his face, he snorted coldly, "Since you are so uninterested, don't blame me for using force." ”
He turned around and said to the soldiers beside him, "I now suspect that these people are not traveling merchants at all, but in the name of traveling merchants, they brought some prohibited items from Kyushu into Yunhai City. You should arrest them first." , and will be interrogated carefully in the future.”
After saying that, he ignored everyone and returned to the pavilion.
The faces of these traveling businessmen suddenly turned pale, and they kept shouting that they were wronged, but they were still tied up and made acquaintance by the soldiers who swarmed up.
Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, the leading merchant suddenly became angry and cursed the Yun family disciples.
"I have been traveling around the cities of Jiuzhou and I have long heard that the Yun family in Yunhai City is arrogant, domineering and unreasonable. They are one of the tyrants in Yunhai City. When I saw them today, it turned out that they were not even half-assed, or even worse. Seeing that we don't want to show off the coral. , we have to rob them openly and forcefully! Such a behavior is worthy of being called a famous family of righteousness! It’s really ridiculous! It’s shameful!”
The people who were originally blocking the city gate and queuing up to enter and exit the city, heard his loud yelling and cursing, and all of them fled away in panic. As they hurried into or out of the city, no one dared to take a look.
A young man next to the handsome man looked unhappy when he saw him scolding loudly. With a slight exertion on his feet, he rushed to the walking merchant. As soon as there were two crisp sounds, the man's face suddenly swelled up, and he was hesitating and unable to speak.
As a result, the hundreds of people at the city gate didn't even dare to take a breath, and even stepped lightly, for fear of making the Yun family disciples unhappy.
Mo Yunshen and the others could not see the reason at this moment. Mu Jingyu's brows were knitted together in anger, and he shouted angrily, "Uncle Mo, these people are too shameless. What are they talking about? Forbidden items, I just want those corals!”
An old woman next to him quickly covered his mouth with her hand and said in horror, "You little kid is desperate! You dare to scold the children of the Yun family. Be careful if they hear you and take you to a private cell." , the torture will make your life worse than death."
Mo Yunshen grabbed someone with one hand and quickly followed the old woman, saying in a low voice, "Old man, you must be very afraid of the Yun family from your tone."
The old woman raised her head and glanced at Mo Yunshen, then sighed and said, "In this Yunhai City, there is no one who is not afraid of the Yun family. Within a radius of fifty miles, mentioning the word Yun family can stop babies from crying."
Mo Yun said deeply, "The Yun family in Yunhai City is a well-known family in the righteous way. How can it have such a bad reputation when it is supposed to protect the peace of the place!"
The old woman looked around and then said in a low voice, "The Yun family was originally good. Not only did they eliminate demons and protect the people within a hundred miles, but they also opened warehouses to release grain every time of great disaster. To help the people who were affected by the disaster. But since the death of the old patriarch ten years ago, the new patriarch Yun Jingtian has been uncharacteristic. He not only bullies the people of Yunhai City, but also makes clever pretexts to raid people who come to Yunhai City to do business. "
Mo Yunshen spat and said, "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that the Yun family are all good people. One year, they suffered a disaster and received help from them. I thought at that time that when I grow up, I will go to the Yun family. I'm going to do some odd jobs. Now it seems like it's okay for the Yun family not to go."
After hearing this, Mo Yun couldn't help but lower his eyebrows and began to think deeply.
After entering the city gate, the three of them said goodbye to the old woman and walked towards the city.
Mo Yunshen remained indifferent and silent all the way, with countless thoughts in his heart. He has been a disciple of Jiuhua Mountain since he was a child, and has been receiving training from the elders of his sect. I have always believed that all the spirits and monsters in the Demon Palace are demons that devour human flesh and blood, and they should all be killed.
And all the famous sects of the righteous way are on behalf of heaven, bringing peace to the people, and maintaining peace in the Nine Provinces.
But what he saw and heard in the past few days subverted his understanding time and time again. Not only are spirits divided into good and evil, but even the Yun family, which claims to be a famous sect of righteousness, has accumulated such a bad reputation.
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, how could you believe it?
"Hey!" Thinking of his previous obsession, he sighed deeply.
Bi Yun raised her little face and said softly, "Uncle Mo, all living beings have good and bad qualities. Even those who appear to be bad are not necessarily really bad, and how can people who appear to be good necessarily be good people!"
How could Bi Yun, who had grown up in Yaoming Palace since she was a child, not know what Mo Yunshen was thinking at this moment, so she couldn't help but offer some words of persuasion.
Mo Yunshen nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that in the future I will not only have to distinguish the good from the bad spirits, but also the good from the righteous disciples."
After thinking about this calamity, my heart suddenly felt much more relaxed. I took my two children and wandered around Yunhai City.
This Yunhai City is, after all, the largest city in the vast Yunzhou. It is not only rich in products, but also has many traveling merchants who are constantly coming and going, bringing special products from all over Kyushu. Therefore, it also created the prosperity of Yunhai City.
Two children had never been to such a big and prosperous city. I was dazzled by all kinds of novelty things for a while. I was so happy eating snacks from all over Kyushu and playing with novel gadgets.
At the beginning, Mo Yunshen watched the surroundings vigilantly to prevent people from the Yaoming Palace from sneaking into the city. On the other hand, he also wanted to prevent people from the righteous path from discovering Bi Yun.
At three o'clock in the morning, although the two children had eaten a lot of snacks, their stomachs were still growling. After all, after a whole morning of wandering, it has already been exhausted.
Mo Yun took a deep look at the crowded street, pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "The two little guys know they are hungry, so let's go to the Tunyun Tower in front to worship at the Temple of the Five Internal Organs!"
The Tunyun Tower is also very famous in Yunhai City, and its famous Tunyun Noodles can be said to be unique in Kyushu. Mo Yunshen had heard about this place from his senior brothers a long time ago. When he arrived in Yunhai City today, there was no reason not to taste it.
Because at noon, there were many diners in Tunyun Tower, and most of the tables were occupied by guests.
Mo Yunshen and the other three had no choice but to be guided by the waiter and sit in a seat in the corner of the first floor.
After ordering three bowls of Ton Yun Noodles and a few special side dishes, at Mu Jingyu's request, he ordered a pot of Mianmi wine. Served with side dishes, drink while waiting to swallow the cloud noodles.
Sitting at a table next to the three of them were four or five strong men. Each one was carrying a weapon and shouting loudly and proudly.
Mo Yun listened carefully for a few words, and in the noise of life, he heard words such as Gumiao, Yun family's children, Yaowei Palace demon, powerful and so on. I knew in my heart that the night before the battle between Long Tianlu and the Withered Bone Demon Lord, I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listen carefully, wanting to hear from them whether there was any information about Long Tianlu.
Bi Yun was originally the divine bird of Bi Fang. Although her cultivation level was not high, she was also very smart. Hearing these words, he and Mo Yunshen looked at each other, lowered their heads, and listened attentively to the words of those strong men.
"Hey! Brothers, I, Zhao Tiesheng, am not bragging. Before midnight the night before yesterday, I heard the sound of fighting a hundred miles away. At that time, I turned over and got up, and saw several disciples of the Yun family whooshing He swished over the roof and rushed out of the city." A rough and arrogant man sitting in the east seat said, taking a sip of strong wine.
The hunched old man next to him raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer, "Hmph, with your cultivation in the late stage of concentration, Zhao Tieniu, you can still detect movement a hundred miles away? You don't have to worry about being laughed out of your mouth if you say it."
A young man in brocade clothes and dressed as a scholar holding a folding fan on the opposite side waved his fan and said with a smile, "Old man Ji, I think Brother Tieniu must not have been awakened. Perhaps he was frightened awake by the Yun family disciples who were speeding by." .After all, he secretly slept with Yun Xiong’s little sweetheart, for fear that he would find out and cut off his little brother.”
When Zhao Tiesheng heard this, he was so frightened that he woke up and said nervously, "I'm telling you, you're a nerd, you can drink as much as you want, but you can't talk nonsense!"
A man with a scar on his face sitting at the bottom said in a deep voice, "You guys are all fucking nonsense. Those Yun family disciples were just doing their daily patrol the night before yesterday. They didn't notice the battle a hundred miles away."
"Oh? So, Brother Li knows about this?" Old Man Ji turned his face and asked.
Mo Yunshen suddenly felt dizzy after hearing this. The three people in front of him were all bragging, and they didn't know much about what happened that night.
The scar-faced man glanced around cautiously and then whispered, "We people only know that there was a big battle the night before. But who knows the specific situation? Didn't we just hear some news from the Yun family this morning?" "
