The last time they had a serious meal was when the Sword Immortal Ge Yuan led them in the cave. After cultivating, even if they don’t eat for a long time, their lives will not be harmed, but we are all human beings after all, and our stomachs will naturally be upset if we don’t eat. Uncomfortably tight.
Just after entering the city gate, there is a long street with tall buildings on both sides. There are shops on each floor. Most of the ones at the bottom are open-air restaurants selling snacks, bacon and the like. There are also occasional large restaurants. There were several tables in the open air, covering an area several times larger than that of a small shop, but when it was full, there were only twenty or thirty people seated, and the tables were placed next to each other, making it look very crowded.
There is no currency or money bills in circulation here, only gold and silver are recognized, and the value of the two is very different. In Mu Ziyun's hometown, a piece of silver is as valuable as a sling of copper coins, but one tael of gold is worth more than The same amount of gold in Mu Ziyun's hometown is worth at least twice as much. Everyone doesn't have much money at all. Huzi has a few strings of copper plates, which are equivalent to scraps here, and Kite has silver jewelry, which is of low value. If you put it here, it can be exchanged for five cages of steamed buns.
Fang Tianmu dug around and touched all the cloth bags he could see before he found out a few golden beans. He didn't dare to wander around the big restaurant, so he picked a few restaurants and bought some cooking cakes and meat. Bao, sesame buns, and mutton soup didn't cost much at all. Fang Tianmu became addicted to a bowl of blood soup mixed with various animal meats. He drank five or six bowls in a row, and stood up when there was no seat. There was no delay in drinking it, maybe it had been a long time since I had tasted animal flavor. Only then did Mu Ziyun, Hu Zi, and Ling Dang remember that the boy did not eat human food, but only ate animal meat and herbs, and only drank animal milk. They thought about how many years had passed, and he had wandered thousands of places with everyone. , and had to accept rice noodles and wine soup, which was really distressing.
It was already afternoon when we arrived. After eating, it was almost dusk. Being in a human city, it would be such a pleasure to lie down on a soft bed. Everyone pointed at the few stars. Golden beans can help them sleep comfortably.
But what they didn't expect was that the most frightening thing about this city for the poor was its housing prices, which were as good as gold. The few golden beans in their hands did not even allow them to buy the most ordinary room for one night. No, even the stable price was clearly marked, five taels of gold per night. It's not that they can't sleep without a house. After all, they have been practicing for so long and have never encountered any situation. They just can't figure out why the houses here are so expensive, but the people here seem to be on a high string. Time seems to pass faster in them than elsewhere, so they have to run when walking. You can see figures running around one after another along the way. It is rare to see people taking a leisurely pace and chatting about daily life.
Kite and others wanted to ask for directions, but were met with disappointment. The people here are very indifferent and snobbish. If you are not talking about business, then don't rashly disturb someone who is working or rushing to work. Even if you are a hawker carrying tea or breakfast along the street, if you block someone's way, he will silently go around you, but if you talk to him but don't buy anything, then he will have to yell at you without any hesitation. Be merciful, even if he is a mortal and you are a practitioner. Here, you have unique living habits and seem to have unique rules for doing things.
Everyone finally found the name of the city from the name of a shop. The shop was called "Huangdu Butcher Shop", and Huangdu was probably the name of the city. Fang Tianmu knew the word "phoenix". He explained that many beasts in the world have the word "phoenix" in their names, but if the name is just "phoenix", then it is a special kind of beast with an extremely noble status. The mythical beast is one level lower. The most rare thing is that it is not indifferent to the world, but often becomes the guardian spirit beast of a certain race. Moreover, it is the image that best fits the "Mother of the Earth" in myths and legends, and has great influence on the protected people. He takes care of almost all living beings, even to the point of sacrificing himself to save the common people.
Mu Ziyun only felt that Fang Tianmu was exaggerating. It was just a name. It did not mean that there would be strange beasts here, and if there were, they would not be able to discover them. Since they could not rest in the city, they went out for the night. Everyone noticed that although there were people coming and going on the long street here, it was very noisy, but every once in a while, a group of people wearing special clothes would pass by in an orderly manner, and everyone was a practitioner, and they were cultivators. Since more than half of them are at the level of Longren, they should be the patrol team in this city. Of course, for the "Kasumi" organization, where every member can be regarded as a "monster", these people are indescribable.
Huzi led everyone to leave Huangdu the same way. Unexpectedly, when they were dozens of steps away from the city gate, a group of patrolling soldiers stopped them and came up to disarm them without saying a word. Maybe the people of Huangdu have been proud for too long. I feel that whatever I do is taken for granted, and I don’t know when I will encounter hard problems. Huzi happily handed over the three-sided stone hammer and said, "As long as you can handle it." The soldier who took the hammer almost broke his waist, and the hammer fell to the ground, denting it a few inches. I have to say that the quality of the paved floor is already very good.
The leading officer said coldly to the others: "Remember it, they damaged the road, please pay the original price."
But it would be much more unlucky to provoke Fang Tianmu and Wangxiang's soldiers. Fang Tianmu's look did not stop the soldier. They were too arrogant, and Fang Tianmu was not polite. He let him touch him, but the soldier As soon as he touched the black knife, he collapsed to the ground. Wangxiang even raised the tip of his spear lightly and threw the soldier in front of him three or four feet away.
"How dare you attack the Huangdu City Imperial Guards? Come on, take them down!" The leading officer ordered dozens of soldiers to round them up.
Mu Ziyun walked up to everyone with a smile and said, "We just entered the city and had something to eat. Now we are leaving. What have I done to you?"
"Suspicious persons must be registered in the military."
"Oh? Why are we suspicious?" Zingdang asked dissatisfied.
"Oh, you are all practitioners, right? You are still forming gangs in groups. Who knows what kind of bad things are in your belly? If you are wise, just follow us. If no problem is found, I will compensate you. .." In fact, these soldiers are not evil people, and this city is not an evil city. Although people work hard here, the living environment is very safe, and the soldiers in this city are carefully selected, and almost all of them are A person who is mature and excellent in virtue, fighting ability, and faith. They attach great importance to the safety of the city. There have been dozens of scandals involving external evil forces here, so they have to be on guard against all outsiders. Not to mention Mu Ziyun and the others, even mortals who come here will be arrested. After checking the relationship layer by layer, it was found that this person was completely clean, and then he was allowed to settle in the city. Before that, the army could even provide these people with food and accommodation.
It's just that the people here have been proud for too long, or perhaps too serious, so the weak can only act according to the rules, while the strong feel that this is challenging their own bottom line.
Mu Ziyun's face began to show anger. No matter whether the purpose of each member of "Xia" was good or bad, their hands were covered with blood. Therefore, their unique murderous aura was experienced in the field of life and death. It couldn't be hidden. When everyone's eyes began to become cold, the group of soldiers who had been proud for a long time finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
The officer's tone of voice became much more soothing. With his experienced eyes, he could tell that these practitioners must be masters of licking blood from the tips of knives, and it was estimated that even the most beautiful little girl (referring to the bell) had a hand Xanadu might be carrying several lives. He deliberately tried to be nice, stalled for time, and asked: "Where are you from? What are you doing here? Doing business? Or looking for someone?" dm
"Eat..." Mu Ziyun said coldly, "Didn't you hear that just now?"
"The food is quite delicious? This city is only open to humans. Many wanderers can taste the taste of hometown here, eh? Have you been to the Moon Worship Tower in the center of the city? The food there is the best in Phoenix City. Delicious food..." The officer said, but everyone obviously didn't want to accept this.
Fang Tianmu said coldly in a low voice: "The people are here."
The linkage of combat forces in this city was too fast. From the time a certain soldier secretly sent a signal to the military headquarters to the time when other military forces arrived, it took less than half a cup of tea. Ten people wearing white smart clothes and trousers arrived. Although the practitioners in white cloaks were similar in clothing, their appearance and temperament were very different. Mu Ziyun immediately noticed a woman with a horn decoration on her head, holding something like a stick in her mouth, standing condescendingly with her hands folded. He looked down at Mu Ziyun with a look that was very confident and playful, as if he could hang Mu Ziyun up and beat him at any time.
Huzi saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the front of the beam of the house next to him. He looked listless, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.
These two people are also the two strongest among the people who came, and their energy is at the level of Zhongli Realm. However, it seems that not all the people in white are majoring in Shenmaan, so their strength cannot be accurately estimated.
"Yo? What do you mean?" Mu Ziyun asked, staring at the officer.
"Are they the ones causing the trouble?" The woman with the horns on her head said with a hint of joy in her words: "It looks good, don't make any move yet, I'll take care of everything."
No one answered Mu Ziyun's words. The other people in white clothes joked one after another: "Yunzi, you are too young to come. I want three, and you can do whatever you want with the others." "Eh? Brother Yang, save one for me, that one is big. , I solved it." "..."
The officer below bowed respectfully to the man in white and said, "My lords, they have not caused trouble yet. We want to question their origins, but they are temporarily uncooperative."
The officers were ignored. The men in white had already begun to gesture to choose between Mu Ziyun, Ling Dang, and Fang Tianmu, as if there were a bunch of piglets underneath, and they were about to choose their prey.
The people in white smiled teasingly, and the woman with horns had already rushed down. Mu Ziyun's face darkened, and he suddenly laughed. He didn't know whether he laughed out of anger or amuse, but his eyes suddenly sharpened. At that moment, the road in Huangdu exploded, and the man with horns on his head burst into flames. The woman in white was knocked to the ground by Mu Ziyun's punch. Blood spurted out from the woman's mouth, and she fainted in an instant.
All the soldiers' minds went blank for a moment, and the first thought when they woke up was that the leader of the Zhongli Realm, who was so powerful, was killed instantly. But what shocked them even more was that the other nine people in white were also dealt a devastating blow by "Xia" before they could react.
Fang Tianmu didn't take action at all. He only gave the old man a cold look. At close range, a black hole appeared directly behind the old man. Before the old man in white could understand the situation, he had already collapsed and fell to the ground. The bell rang. As soon as she took action, she used the magic mantis' blade to instantly kill the four men in white. The evil spirit wrapped around her body, and she said evilly: "What's going on? Aren't you going to beat the three of us? You're too weak." "
Together with Hu Zi's heavy domain, the four men in white were directly suspended in the air, with their upper bodies falling downwards, and their upper bodies "falling" upwards. The direction of gravity changed locally. This feeling was like twisting people like twists, and Du Xiaoyue With a swing of Chi Xie's soft chain sword, the four people were skewered, but their lives were not taken. Huzi had a friendly face, like a smiling tiger, and said: "Oh... look at it, it's just a meal when everything is good, and it's like this."
Someone yelled on the street, and all the passers-by ran away in terror like ants on a hot pot. They thought this was a law enforcement operation, and didn't even bother to pay attention to it, but they didn't expect that ten young people would The leaders were all "killed" when they arrived. There was no law enforcement here. This was an enemy attack. They all put down what they were doing and fled for their lives. After a while, in addition to Mu Ziyun and the other soldiers on the street, It was deserted. The windows of the shops were closed, and people probably slipped out of the back doors.
The officer at the beginning was panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on his face. After all, he had to be responsible for his soldiers and the city. He whispered: "Everyone, I just want to ask about your origins. If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me. I gave the order. If there is any sin, I will bear it. I am a group of soldiers who are just obeying the order. Also, I also advise you, what you are provoking now is not Huang. Little characters in the capital, soon the big shots will come one by one. If you want to escape, you should do it as soon as possible. They won’t pursue them too far. If they are hundreds of miles away from the city, they are out of the pursuit range of Huangdu, so you are here now It’s definitely not too late to leave, so please think more about it.”
"Oh..." Mu Ziyun put his feet on the head of the man in white below and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I don't want to cause trouble. After all, we all belong to the human race and we have to take care of each other when we go out. But ...Master, what I am least afraid of and what I am most dissatisfied with in my life is threats...I..."
Before Mu Ziyun finished speaking, Huzi patted the back of his head and said with a smile: "You really want to start a war with the human race. Okay, let's run away before it gets too big." After that, he smiled. Hahahaha led everyone to fly out from the gate, Mu Ziyun looked reluctant, and finally flew up,
Dozens of breaths later, hundreds of figures landed next to the officer.
