There was a muffled rumbling sound in the streets of the outer city, accompanied by obvious vibrations, as if hundreds of people were hitting the ground with heavy hammers.
Lin Yang looked back and saw eight men in well-dressed clothes, each riding on a leopard-like elemental beast that was nearly ten feet tall and covered with black scales the size of copper coins, roaring towards him.
"Black-scaled leopard, a second-level Yuan beast, an amphibious Yuan beast." Lin Yang recognized the mounts under the eight well-dressed men.
Pedestrians on the street, whether they were warriors or Yuan Xiu, saw the eight well-dressed men driving the Yuan Beasts, and they all moved to both sides. The street that was bustling just now suddenly became empty.
"This city patrol is so majestic. It is clearly a street cleaning tiger!" Lin Yang also retreated to the street with the crowd, quietly watching eight well-dressed men with proud expressions on their faces walking past.
After the eight well-dressed men rode away on black-scaled leopards, pedestrians who retreated to both sides of the street dared to walk onto the street again, and the street became lively again.
Lin Yang guessed that the map vendor who had just escaped would most likely come back, so he sat down in a large and well-decorated teahouse near the corner of the street.
The teahouse waiter who looked after Lin Yang was an old man who had lost an arm. He had no energy fluctuations in his body, so he should be a warrior. When the elderly waiter saw Lin Yang sitting down, he put a white towel on his shoulders, walked quickly to Lin Yang, bowed his waist and said: "Sir, what kind of tea do you want to drink? The tea in our shop is all produced in Hanban. On the Tea God Island in the sea, every piece of tea is rich in the essence of heaven and earth, which can make warriors healthy and extend their life, and also help Yuan Xiu increase his energy, ensuring that you can drink it comfortably and satisfactorily."
"Oh, your tea has such miraculous effects?" Lin Yang smiled slightly.
"Sir, you must have just arrived in Tiangan City and haven't heard of our Deyun Teahouse yet, right? In the entire outer city of Tiangan City, we are the only teahouse that uses tea from Tea God Island, and that is our Deyun Teahouse. Teahouse." The old man's face was full of pride.
"My husband's guess is good. I just arrived in Tiangan City not long ago, and I have never heard of your teahouse. My husband, what's so special about the tea on Tea God Island?" Lin Yang asked curiously.
The old man was scratched by Lin Yang, and he immediately talked to Lin Yang about the tea from Tea God Island.
It turns out that Tea God Island is an island in the Forbidden Sea with a relatively strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Dozens of tea trees grow naturally on the island. These tea trees are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round. The tea leaves that grow are not only rich in tea aroma, but also rich in... Tianjingdihua is highly sought after by many tea lovers in Tiangan City. Therefore, many profit-seeking people went to Tea God Island to pick tea.
However, Chashen Island is nearly a thousand miles away from Tiangan City, and it has to pass through the territories of many Yuan beasts along the way. There are even more powerful Yuan beasts entrenched on Chashen Island.
Therefore, although picking tea on Tea God Island is quite profitable, it is also extremely dangerous. It is a business with your head stuck in your belt.
"Old man, I'm a little greedy after hearing what you said. What's the most popular tea here? Give me a pot." Although Lin Yang didn't understand tea and didn't drink tea, the old man explained it for him. For a long time, he also had to support others in their work.
"Guest, in terms of popularity, the tea in this tea house is very popular, but judging from your temperament, Hongya is very suitable for you. The Hongya tree only grows on the cliffs of Tea God Island. The nature of tea Proud yet gentle, your guest will definitely like it." The old man obviously had an in-depth study of his job.
"Okay, then listen to my father-in-law and serve me a pot of Red Cliff." Lin Yang readily accepted the old man's advice.
The old man showed an embarrassed expression and apologized: "My guest, the rules of this teahouse are to hand over the Yuan stone first and then serve the tea. Please forgive me. A pot of red cliff, thirty pieces of low-grade Yuan stones."
Lin Yang laughed dumbly and said, "It doesn't matter."
Then, he took out thirty low-grade Yuan stones directly from his arms.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Hongya will make something for you right away!" The old man put away the Yuan Stone and walked neatly to the back hall of the teahouse.
A moment later, a pot of bright red fragrant tea was brought to Lin Yang.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy." The old man poured Lin Yang a shallow cup of tea and looked at Lin Yang expectantly.
As soon as Lin Yang picked up the tea cup, he felt the fragrance of tea was fragrant and refreshing. He took a careful sip. The entrance to Hongya was like orchid on the tongue, refreshing, and there was also a light warmth flowing into the stomach with the tea, making people feel Very comfortable.
"Yes, it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth, and you feel refreshed and refreshed. Great tea!" Lin Yang gave a thumbs up to the old man.
The old man burst into laughter when he heard Lin Yang's praise.
"Old man, are those people riding the black-scaled leopard just now City Patrol? What is City Patrol?" Lin Yang asked pretending to be casual.
The old man's expression immediately changed, he looked at the street, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I can't bear to have you cause trouble. When you meet these people in the future, you must stay away. "
After a pause, the old man continued: "City patrols are only available in the past few months. A war broke out in Tiangan City some time ago. Your guest should know about it, right?"
Lin Yang nodded.
"During that war, the four upper-ranking families in the inner city and some big forces' properties and shops in the outer city were looted. After the war, the four upper-ranking families and the major forces united to ask Tiangan Pavilion to allow them to establish a city in the outer city. Patrolling, to protect their interests in the outer city, and at the same time maintain order in the outer city." The old man was in the teahouse, and as long as he had a little more discernment, he would naturally be better informed than the average person.
"Old man, isn't there a forbidden sea guard in the outer city?" Lin Yang asked in confusion.
The old man let out a long sigh and said: "Previously, the security and order of the Outer City were all under the responsibility of the Forbidden Sea Guards, but that war was initiated by the former commander-in-chief of the Outer City's Forbidden Sea Guards. Three of the nine commanders of the Outer City participated. Among them, the forbidden sea guards in the outer city were no longer trusted by Tianqian Pavilion. Therefore, Tianqian Pavilion followed suit and established a city patrol army in the outer city. Most of the personnel of the city patrol army came from the four upper-ranking families and big families in the inner city. power. Nowadays, the outer city's forbidden sea guards are only responsible for guarding the city, and all matters in the city are left to the hands of the city patrol."
"It seems that the water in Tiangan City is much muddier than I thought. I hope my father is still well." Lin Yang couldn't help but frowned.
"My father-in-law, when did you come to Tiangan City?" Lin Yang asked expectantly.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Including this year, it has been thirteen years."
"Thirteen years." Lin Yang's eyes lit up, because the time when Lin Zhengfeng arrived in Tiangan City was almost thirteen years ago.
"Old man, have you ever heard of the name of a warrior from the Chang Kingdom? His name is Lin Zhengfeng. He arrived at Tiangan City at about the same time as you." Lin Yang's heart couldn't help but beat.
"Lin Zhengfeng!" The old man suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you talk about other people, I may not have heard of it, but Lin Zhengfeng, let alone me, as long as anyone who has stayed in the outer city of Tianqian City for more than ten years, I guess Everyone should have heard of Lin Zhengfeng's name. He is the pride of our Tiangian City warriors! We warriors are at the bottom of the bottom in Tiangan City. Those who can reach the tenth guard in the Forbidden Sea Guard are very rare, but Lin Zhengfeng has become the Tianqian City. The first Forbidden Sea Guard Baiwei to be a warrior in the outer city of Qiancheng, but he is also the only one."
At the end of the sentence, the old man's eyes dimmed.
"Old man, do you know where he is now?" Lin Yang suppressed his inner excitement, but his voice was obviously trembling.
The old man shook his head, sighed, and said: "Not long after Lin Zhengfeng became the Hundred Guards of the Forbidden Sea Guards, he suddenly disappeared."
"Missing?" Lin Yang was shocked, grabbed the old man's skinny arm, and asked urgently: "Old man, tell me, what happened?"
The old man was startled by Lin Yang's sudden behavior and looked at Lin Yang in surprise.
Lin Yang realized his gaffe, quickly let go of his hand, and said apologetically: "My father-in-law, Lin Zhengfeng is the elder in my family. When I heard that he was missing, I was concerned and confused. I just lost my temper. Please forgive me."
The surprised expression on the old man's face slowly faded, and then he said softly: "I don't know the details very well. More than ten years ago, without any warning, Lin Zhengfeng seemed to have disappeared from Tiangan City and suddenly disappeared. No news."
A huge sadness and sadness surged into Lin Yang's heart, and he realized that his father might have been killed.
Lin Yang picked up the tea cup and took another gentle sip. He lowered his head and said no more. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Lin Zhengfeng's sudden departure caused huge psychological trauma to Lin Yang's young mind. But at the same time, because of the lack of father's love and family affection, Lin Yang cherishes family affection even more, and always expresses the greatest gratitude to those who help and care for him. This is why he has to recognize Zhu who took good care of his injured self. Ting is a sister, and because of Sun Buyi, she has a sibling relationship with Mei Yuting.
All these revealed Lin Yang's desire for family affection.
When he learned from Lin Tianhao that his father might still be alive, Lin Yang was ecstatic and suppressed his emotions until he was promoted to the Yuanji realm, and when the personnel sent by Danxia to guard Tiangan City were rotated, now When he finally arrived at Tiangan City, he immediately heard the news that his father was missing, which made Lin Yang unable to accept it for a while.
"Your Majesty." The old man called softly, and when Lin Yang didn't respond, he walked away slowly.
After a while, a voice sounded at the corner of the street again: "Sea chart, sea chart, the latest chart of the Forbidden Sea! A sea chart drawn by several powerful people from the Hundred Spin Realm who worked hard and narrowly escaped death! Go out to sea to hunt yuan beasts and find medicine. A must-have treasure map! A low-grade Yuan Stone costs ten yuan per copy, and only fifty copies are sold, while supplies last, so hurry up if you want to buy it!"
Lin Yang raised his head and saw the thin chart vendor reappearing, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"It's not yet confirmed whether my father has been killed. Why am I frustrated now?" Lin Yang took a deep breath, forced the corners of his mouth to curl up, and shouted to the old man with a broken arm standing far away: " Father-in-law."
The old man ran over quickly, lowered his head and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Old man, I would also like to ask you, when Lin Zhengfeng disappeared, which commander of the Forbidden Sea Guards in the outer city did he belong to?" Lin Yang put two low-grade Yuan stones into the old man's hands as he spoke.
After a moment's refusal, the old man quietly put away the Yuan Stone and said, "Jiang Duxing, Jiang Commander."
Lin Yang then asked: "Is Commander Jiang still in Tiangan City?"
Lin Yang was worried that Jiang Duxing also participated in the rebellion in Tiangan City some time ago. If this was true, if he wanted to find Jiang Duxing, he would probably have to go to Brownstone Island.
"Here, the nine commanders in the outer city each guard a waterway that connects to the Forbidden Sea. Commander Jiang has been guarding the third waterway." The old man got the Yuan Stone and was in a good mood.
"Man, thank you very much!"
Lin Yang stood up, cupped his hands towards the old man with a broken arm, and then strode towards the door of Deyun Tea House.
"Sir, haven't you drunk your tea yet?" The old man with a broken arm shouted loudly when he saw that there was still more than half of the pot of Hongya left.
"Come back next time." Lin Yang waved his hand and walked out of Deyun Tea House without looking back, and walked straight towards the vendor selling charts.
"Sir, do you want a sea map? Ten low-grade yuan stones cost a piece. It is definitely the most complete and accurate sea map in Tiangan City. The price is also the most affordable. It is less than half of the price in those big stores. ." When the thin hawker saw Lin Yang approaching, he was selling to Lin Yang with a smile on his face.
"Show me first." Lin Yang stretched out his hand.
The hawker showed an embarrassed expression and said: "Sir, you are the powerful Yuan Xiu. I will give you a look at this map. If it is not complete, I will let you keep it in mind. If you don't buy it after reading it, I will Why are you calling for injustice?"
"Tiangian City is really different from other places today. You have to give Yuan Shi first to drink tea, and you have to give Yuan Stone first to buy a sea map." Lin Yang smiled slightly and said: "Do you have a map of Tiangan City in your hand? ?”
The hawker rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Did the young master just arrive in Tiangan City?"
Lin Yang didn't hide anything and nodded.
"I even have a nautical chart, and naturally I must have a map of Tiangan City. However, I mainly sell nautical charts. I keep the map of Tiangan City at home. If you have time to wait, I will go home and get it for you now. Go. My house is close, it won’t take long.” The hawker checked Lin Yang’s expression as he spoke.
"What's the price of the map of Tiangan City?" Lin Yang asked slowly.
"It's not expensive, just three low-grade Yuan Stones. If you buy the sea map and the Tiangan City map together, I can give you a discount, a total of twelve low-grade Yuan Stones." The vendor looked generous.
"Eleven low-grade Yuan stones, I want both pictures." Lin Yang counter-offered.
The vendor thought for a while, and then said with a pained face: "Okay, just eleven low-grade Yuan stones. I will get the map of Tiangan City for you now."
After saying that, the hawker walked away.
After a while, the vendor ran back panting.
"Sir, this is the map you want." The vendor handed the two maps to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang reached out to get it, only to find that the map was held tightly by the hawker, and the hawker still had a smile on his face. Lin Yang understood and took out eleven low-grade Yuan stones.
After the vendor took the Yuan Stone, he happily let go of the map in his hand.
Lin Yang first opened the map of Tiangan City, browsed it quickly, and then walked towards the third waterway in the outer city.
