Chengshuo didn't plan to contact the people from the Tianwei Mansion for the time being, so he replied: "There is no need to report, I can just go into the city myself."
"Senior please!"
The guards opened the city gate, respectfully invited Chengsheng in, and then immediately closed the city gate to prevent refugees from outside the city from flooding in.
The prosperity of Bianjing City is far better than that of Ruyun City.
As soon as Cheng Sheng entered the city, he was drowned out by the noise in the city and the cries of vendors along the street.
This scene of prosperity is always more or less incompatible with the catastrophe that will come to the West in half a year.
However, once Cheng Sheng thought about it, he soon felt relieved:
Facing the catastrophe of the West, the god-worshipping monks and ordinary people have no possibility of struggling.
They have nowhere to go, let alone prevent the disaster by themselves. So a normal day is a day, and a day spent in fear is also a day.
That being the case, why bother worrying all day long?
While he was thinking, a voice that was extremely familiar to Chengshuo suddenly sounded from not far ahead.
'Ding-dang! '
"Mai Zai paste, do you want Mai Zai paste?"
At the same time as the sound rang, the aroma of malt continued to linger in the air.
Following the scent, Chenghuo walked to a stall selling sugar paintings: "Boss, how do you sell sugar monkeys?"
The salesman only concentrated on adjusting the sugar lake without raising his head: "It's the same as usual, only three yuan."
"Three coins?" Chenghuo frowned: "In the past, wasn't it always two coins a piece?"
The salesman who heard "two cents" was startled when he heard this.
He raised his head, looked at Chenghuo and said, "Guest, it's you! You also came to Bianjing from Guyang City!"
As the salesman spoke, his hands kept moving, and in just a moment he drew a sugar monkey for success.
He handed the candy monkey to Chengshuo and said with a slightly apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, sir, this Bianjing is no better than Guyang City. The food and accommodation here are more expensive. If the candy monkey still sells for two yuan a piece, , I’m just afraid I’m going to starve to death in this city.”
"That's understandable." Chenghuo took the candy monkey, paid the money, and started chatting with the salesman.
I learned from the salesman:
The large-scale migration of the people of Daliang State to the east began about a year ago after the imperial court issued a notice about the 'Great Disaster in the West'.
Merchant was the first group of people to migrate eastward.
At first, those who migrated eastward were able to enter Bianjing City.
However, as the population of Bianjing City increased, the court only allowed monks with good cultivation to enter.
After that, the threshold was further raised, and now, only monks with a cultivation level of embryo-building and above are allowed to enter.
After chatting with the salesman for a while and briefly understanding the general situation in Bianjing City, Cheng Sheng found an inn in the city to stay.
——Due to the impending catastrophe in the West and a large number of monks gathering in Bianjing City, most inns in Bianjing City are overcrowded.
Only a handful of inns still have rooms available.
The 'Caifu Inn' where Chenghuo stayed was one of the few inns that still had vacancies.
on the street.
At the same time that Cheng Sheng entered the 'Caifu Inn', a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and a small beard on his chin also hurriedly turned around and left.
He walked through several alleys and came to the mansion with the word "Le Zheng" on it, and knocked on the door knocker.
'Dong, dong,'
The moment the door knocker rang, a voice was heard from behind the door: "Who is it?"
The middle-aged man said hurriedly: "It's me, Hong'an."
"It's Mr. Hong'an." Upon hearing the visitor's name, the concierge hurriedly opened the back door for him and whispered, "Are you here to see the third prince?"
"Yeah" Hong An also lowered his voice: "Caifu Inn, a new monk recently moved in, and he flew down from the sky!"
"Is it the pregnancy period?"
Upon hearing the news that a monk in the embryonic stage had entered the city, the porter hurriedly invited Hong An in from outside, and then reminded: "The third prince is in the study, you can just go there by yourself."
"Thank you!" Hong An bowed his hands to the concierge, then turned around and left in a hurry without saying another word.
…
The next day.
Chengsheng got up early in the morning.
After simply eating some breakfast to satisfy his appetite, he took the 'Xiangyun' magical weapon all the way east, and only flew to a small town on the eastern coast of Bianjing City at noon.
Like Bianjing, this town is also filled with refugees who fled from the west to the east to escape danger.
Chengshuo did not land in the town. Instead, he watched in the air for a long time, and then flew straight to the ship with the largest hull.
on deck.
Seeing Cheng Huo descending from the sky, a god-worshipping monk wearing a captain's hat hurriedly led the crew members on the ship to come forward and salute: "I don't know. What's the purpose of coming to my ship, senior?"
Chengshuo said calmly: "I want to know, when the great catastrophe comes to the West, will your ship sail away?"
As soon as these words came out, the monk in the god-worshiping period immediately knew the purpose of survival.
He smiled and replied: "Of course it will happen. If the Liang Kingdom fails to prevent the catastrophe, then I will take the people on the boat all the way east until we find land."
"If senior wants to board the ship, there is no need for any conditions, just let me know before departure."
Monks in the Embryo Building and Blood Core stage seem to be very popular in the eyes of these captains.
Perhaps in order to stay and survive as much as possible, the captain did not hesitate to make a serious promise: "By then, seniors will be able to enjoy the drinks and food on the ship. In addition, I will arrange servants and maids to take care of seniors' daily life." The only thing that seniors need to do is to take action to solve the dangers that may be encountered while sailing."
This captain is a master of trouble.
After hearing what the captain said, Cheng Sheng showed a satisfied look on his face.
What he was satisfied with was not the treatment on board, but the captain's attitude. He was also satisfied that the captain was a thoughtful person.
Chengshuo replied to the captain: "If nothing happens, when the catastrophe of the West comes, I will bring people on board your ship."
"As we prepare to go to sea, if you encounter any trouble or need anything, you can come to Bianjing City to find me at any time."
At the end, Chengshuo did not forget to add: "By the way, I am a monk in the blood core stage. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke the monks in the deep dive stage, I can help you solve almost all the troubles you encounter."
"Blood elixir stage monk?!"
After learning about the survival cultivation level, the captain of the god-worshiping period and many crew members on the ship all looked shocked.
At this moment, the captain's attitude towards Chengsheng became more and more respectful: "May I ask, senior, what's your surname?"
"survive."
After announcing his name, Chenghuo summoned the 'Xiangyun' magical weapon, flew into the sky, and sped towards Bianjing City.
On the deck, the crew members looked at Cheng Sheng's leaving figure with expressions of joy and envy on their faces.
…
By the time we returned to the 'Caifu Inn' in Bianjing City, it was already evening.
In the hotel lobby.
Seeing the figure of Cheng Sheng, a monk in the god-worshiping stage dressed in brocade and jade attire stood up and rushed to Cheng Sheng and bowed his hands.
He said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Le Zhengyun, the third prince of Daliang Kingdom, has met senior Cheng!"
"Do you know me?" Chengshuo said expressionlessly.
"I don't know him, but I have admired my senior for a long time."
The monk in Jinyi who claimed to be the 'Third Prince' said: "Senior Chengshuo's name has already spread in Bianjing City."
"It is said that even those polluted Blood Pill Stage monks in Yin Sijian are no match for Senior." The third prince expressed his admiration: "So, Senior has been hailed as the number one person under the Deep Submergence Stage in Bianjing City!"
As soon as the third prince said this, all the monks in the inn lobby all looked at Chengshuo.
"Is this person the rumored Cheng Sheng? The first person under the deep dive period?"
"He is actually only at the middle stage of blood elixir cultivation?"
Apparently.
It’s not just the third prince.
From what the monks talked about in the inn, it is not difficult to see that they have heard about the name of Survival for a long time.
This made Chengshuo freeze on the spot, with a look of confusion on his face: When did his name come to Bianjing City?
The moment doubts arose in his heart, Cheng Sheng suddenly thought of the monks Ni Li, Po Yazhi, Ju Rui and other monks who joined the Tianwei Mansion with Li Zhuo a year ago.
Those Yinsijian monks have all experienced the power of survival.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of the word-of-mouth spread among this group of people that the title of "the first person under the deep submergence period" gradually spread in Bianjing City.
In fact, for Survival, the title of 'the first person under the deep diving period' is not an exaggeration.
——The contaminated blood elixir stage monk, although his mental state is unstable, may lose control and mutate into a monster at any time.
But their strength is indeed a bit stronger than ordinary Blood Pill Stage monks.
And the ability to survive is still higher than that of the contaminated blood elixir stage monks. The ability to survive is self-evident.
As for how the third prince recognized Chengshuo.
This is also easy to explain.
Although the territory of Liang Kingdom is large, due to the great catastrophe in the west, nearly 80% to 90% of the monks are now gathered in Bianjing City.
Among these monks there are many people who have learned and survived.
They saw Cheng Huo and informed the third prince that Cheng Huo was staying at the Caifu Inn. It was not an accident.
After figuring out the key, Chenghuo saluted the third prince and said calmly: "So, the third prince came to me. Does he have anything important to say?"
"It's not a particularly important thing." The third prince replied with a smile: "I just think that as a senior, living in this Caifu Inn is too uncomfortable, so I specially prepared a house for senior. Senior If you don’t mind it, you can move in at any time.”
As he spoke, the third prince lowered his voice again and added: "There are all servants and maids in the house, and all the servants are born innocent, and the maids are all of the best appearance."
have to say.
The third prince was very good at dealing with people.
Whether it's the tone of his words, his voice, or the expression on his face, he always gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
In the hotel lobby.
Cheng Huo looked at the third prince with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
At present, the situation in Bianjing City is turbulent.
Since Emperor Lezheng Tianhui became seriously ill, twenty-three of the sixty-three princes in the court have clearly expressed their intention to seize the throne.
And if you want to seize the heir, you naturally need to cultivate your own power, and you need to win over powerful monks.
But the number of monks in Bianjing City is limited after all.
So, after the princes divided up all the monks in the city, they turned their attention to the new monks who entered the city.
Just like surviving.
