At the gate of a house in Xinzheng, Zhang Ji met with a jeweler who had previously traded gold, silver and jade, and took over the title deed of the house from him.
This is a small house, but it is worth thousands of dollars.
There are no luxurious furniture or decorations in this house, not even a single servant. Even if it is located in the royal capital of Xinzheng, the usual price will not exceed three hundred gold.
However, there is a reason why it is expensive.
The reason why this house can be sold for one thousand gold is because of its superior geographical location.
Because this house is located near the palace.
Xinzheng is the safest place in South Korea, and the area near the palace is the safest place in Xinzheng. Not only are the imperial guards stationed there, but also the city defense army often patrols nearby, so it is normal that the price is higher.
Originally, Zhang Ji was definitely not qualified to buy a house in this location, but who knew that the original owner of this house was An Pingjun, the third brother of Han Wangan.
Anpingjun's house expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and in order to prolong his life, he spent high prices to buy dragon bones, ice silkworms, Tianshan snow lotus and other rare treasures to make dragon bone eight treasure soup, which led to more and more money in the treasury. Young Master, finally could not resist the temptation, and conspired with his brother Longquan Jun to steal a total of 30,000 taels of military pay.
Unfortunately, with the help of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, Han Fei saw through the two people's plan. Anping Jun and Longquan Jun were assassinated by Ji Wuye's "Yemu" in the name of ghost soldiers because they lost their use value.
After the two died, Han Wangan missed the old relationship and only took back the fiefdom and confiscated the property, but did not take back the houses that originally belonged to the two.
In order to make ends meet, Anpingjun's family had to start selling the houses left by Anpingjun. Originally, just the sale of a few luxury houses was enough to maintain a normal livelihood, but Anpingjun's family found it difficult to change their habit of spending money lavishly during Anpingjun's lifetime. Gradually, even the houses near the palace were entrusted to Ya. It was sold in the shop, and Zhang Ji entrusted the jeweler to buy it.
After setting up the house, Zhang Ji took Yan Lingji to visit the streets of Xinzheng.
On the way here, Yan Lingji mentioned this Xinzheng City more than once.
According to her, she wanted to see how prosperous the capital of the Koreans who destroyed Baiyue was, but at this moment she was not at all as interested as when she came.
Wearing a fiery red light armor, Yan Lingji walked absentmindedly on the streets of Xinzheng with her hands behind her back.
Different from the desolation and dilapidation in other places in South Korea, Xinzheng, as the capital of a country, naturally has the prosperity of a national capital. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, street vendors were selling their goods, and the people all had smiles from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.
Most of the people who can live in Xinzheng, the capital of Han Dynasty, are not poor people who cannot afford to eat. After all, the high housing prices alone can kill countless people.
Zhang Ji glanced at Yan Lingji who was like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. Her jade feet wrapped in a pair of black boots kicked a small stone one by one. Even through a veil, Zhang Ji could I felt Yan Lingji's little emotion.
Also, when she first came to Xinzheng, she met Bai Yifei, who was like a natural enemy. She was also in a bad shape due to someone's poor driving skills and was slightly inferior in the duel.
Well, at least Yan Lingji herself thinks that she is only slightly inferior because she is out of shape.
Zhang Ji didn't have the nerve to break her fantasy directly. Just now when he used his internal power to disperse Bai Yifei's cold air, he roughly sensed the realm around Bai Yifei.
The icy cold air and restrained aura cut off his perception, but combined with the original Bai Yifei's ability to easily challenge the Baiyue five-man group, he at least has first-class strength.
However, Zhang Ji really didn't understand why Bai Yifei had such a wonderful connection with Yan Lingji, just like a small animal's reaction to a predator.
Is there anything else about Yan Lingji that attracts Bai Yifei besides the Baiyue treasure?
Yan Lingji didn't say anything, and he didn't ask either.
After a few days of getting along, he and Yan Lingji had a very delicate relationship.
Yan Lingji no longer had the same strong wariness against him as she did at first, but she was willing to stay by Zhang Ji's side honestly. In addition to being frightened by the frightened salamander, she still wanted to find out the whereabouts of Tian Ze from Zhang Ji's mouth.
As for Zhang Ji, it's true that he has the body of Greedy Yan Lingji, but he doesn't know how to use force. He also knew that Yan Lingji had her own little thoughts when she stayed by his side, but she didn't expose them.
For example, Yan Lingji left a special mark on Baiyue along the way these past few days, and for example, she used the excuse of being in a bad mood to actually go see the shamans from Baiyue... Zhang Ji knew all these clearly. .
…
Xinzheng City West
Yan Lingji's slender fiery red figure shuttled in the alleys. There were no luxurious wine shops on the streets in the east of the city, no dazzling array of goods, no luxurious carriages and horses, and no rich families wearing rich and beautiful clothes. Noble man.
Most people who come to Xinzheng for the first time would never imagine that the scene in Xinzheng, the royal capital of South Korea, has two completely different extremes.
Luxiang in the west of the city is where common people live together. There are only vegetable markets and restaurants that basically only sell staple food. Not many businessmen are willing to put their shops here. They don't think they can make a lot of money from these common people.
In the remote and dark alley, Yan Lingji stopped running, opened her mouth slightly and exhaled turbid air, calmed down the heart rate increased by running, adjusted her breathing, and glanced at another shadow with a pair of beautiful light blue eyes. .
There was not even a human being in this remote alley, only the dull chirping of some unknown bird, accompanied by the bleak cold wind, was like a miserable whimper, telling others of its deep sorrow.
Suddenly, a faint milky white mist floated into the alley from outside the alley, and this remote alley was shrouded in blur.
A small piece of paper fell slowly from the sky. The silent cold wind swayed and knocked the paper to the ground. As the pieces of paper fell to the ground, more and more pieces of paper appeared in the blink of an eye. They were densely scattered in the dark night with overwhelming force, and a paper rain began.
If any common people saw this strange scene, they would definitely be frightened and ask Taoist disciples to exorcise the evil spirits.
A pair of cyan eyes emerged from the white mist, and then a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the rain of paper.
Jingle Bell!
Jingle Bell!
Jingle Bell!
The crisp sound of copper bells reached my ears, and the tall figure appeared in front of Yan Lingji.
At that time, there was a tall man wearing a wide hat, holding a copper staff with a copper bell hanging in his hand. The tall staff covered his face, only revealing his thin dark purple lips.
The lips were slightly curved into a smile.
But that smile was full of silvery evil energy, which made people panic.
"Long time no see..."
boom!
A brilliant flash of fire interrupted the man's words, and sparks exploded, burning all the papers floating in the sky and lying quietly on the ground, and also illuminated the feminine face.
Yan Lingji leaned against the wall of the alley, playing with the wooden hairpin in her hand that was burning with flames.
"Xiao Yinwu, my sister hates it when men pretend to be clever and sophisticated in front of her."
Yan Lingji raised her chin slightly and glanced at the face under the hood. She seemed to think of some annoying guy and said viciously.
Exorcist: "..."
As the leader of Baiyue Hidden Witches, he also has his own arrogance. If another person treats him like this, the corpse exorcist will definitely summon corpse puppets to kill him first, and then use the ghost exorcism technique to control him and let him experience it. What does it mean to have no peace even after death?
But who asked Yan Lingji to take care of him when he was a child?
"There are so many witches in Baiyue? Why are you the only one here?"
The sound of inhaling and exhaling came from under the hood.
"Others didn't dare to leave Baiyue. Only me, Wushuang Ghost and Baidu King came. Wushuang Ghost is too big and eye-catching, and is not suitable for sneaking into Xinzheng City in broad daylight. Baidu King has no ability except poison skills. It’s not suitable to come even if I don’t have the ability, so I have to come by myself.”
The exorcist sighed, but the fierce murderous intent in his blue eyes betrayed his anger.
Once upon a time, the number of shamans under Tianze was also extremely large, but with the destruction of Baiyue and Tianze's defeat, they all became criminals wanted by Chu and Han, and could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests of Baiyue. Zhong didn't dare to show up for fear of being hunted by the masters of the two countries.
If Yan Lingji hadn't told them about Tianze's whereabouts, not even Wushuang Ghost would have bothered to leave Baiyue, let alone the Exorcist Demon and the King of Hundred Poisons.
"Does he really know the whereabouts of his master?"
"A man who has such a profound understanding of the secrets of the past is very likely to have the whereabouts of his master." Yan Lingji played with the wooden hairpin in her hand and said casually.
The cyan light in the exorcist's eyes became a little brighter. They, the shamans of Baiyue, have been looking for Tianze's whereabouts for so many years.
The witches in Baiyue all have a special connection. They can sense each other's position, and Tianze is the master of this connection. He can clearly grasp the position and status of other witches. People can only sense each other, but cannot perceive Tianze's position.
The only thing they can be sure of is that Tianze is not dead and is still alive and well.
The exorcist pressed the brim of his hood: "Why don't you let me kill him, turn him into a zombie, and use the art of exorcism to find out the whereabouts of the master from him!"
There was excitement and murderous intent in the gender-neutral feminine voice. The exorcist thought that Yan Lingji would agree with his idea, but found that Yan Lingji glanced at him with disdain, and that disgust was mixed with a trace of pity. His eyes were like looking at a fool.
"Little Yinwu, do you think you can beat me?"
The exorcist thought for a moment and shook his head: "Can't beat him."
Yan Lingji's flames can naturally restrain her own zombies, and her cultivation level is higher than her own, so he is naturally no match for Yan Lingji.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Lingji recalled the murderous intent and chill that night, and her body could not help but tremble slightly: "I am not his opponent."
The exorcist thought that Yan Lingji was talking about Zhang Ji. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask Wushuang Ghost and Baidu King to have a righteous gang fight, but Yan Lingji turned around and walked towards Luxiang. export.
"Continue to stay in the outskirts of Xinzheng with Wushuanggui and Baiduwang. Don't enter the city without any news from me." Yan Lingji paused and continued, "There are too many opponents in the city that we cannot deal with, even if they are The four of us work together..."
She left without finishing her words, and the wry smile at the corner of her mouth finished the sentence for her.

PS: Added a setting that allows Baiyue shamans to sense each other's positions. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the original Wushuang Ghost found Yan Lingji, who had been imprisoned for a long time. You can't just smash one wherever you see it. That way It was already exposed.
