The human race has built countless cities, large and small, for thousands of years, but among them the most prosperous ones are five cities that rank high, namely Tianfu in Chaotian Prefecture in the northwest, Capture City in Jingtian Prefecture in the southwest, and Evil City in the southeast. Huanghu City in Guizhou, and Jinjiang City and Holy Capital in Shenshan State in the northeast.
Although it is said that it is divided into five major cities, in terms of material wealth, only the Holy Capital and Tianfu have hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Among them, the Holy Capital is better than Tianfu in all aspects because of the location of the royal family.
The Holy Capital City is heavily guarded, and each city gate is guarded by excellent guards. At the south gate, Yang Xian and Qianqiu were stopped by the guards.
"Who are you two? Where are you from? Where are you going? Show me your pass." The tall guard holding a halberd said loudly when he saw the two people who were dusty.
Yang Xian handed over his hand and said: "Brother Guard, we are disciples of the Eastern Sect, and we went to the city to find relatives."
"Oriental sect? Is it the oriental sect from Dongfang Mountain?" The guard tightened his grip on the halberd and asked with some disbelief.
Qianqiu thought for a while and asked: "Is there another Orientalist in this world?"
The guard shook his head and said: "Recently, many disciples of various martial arts sects have entered the Holy Capital. How do I know about so many sects? Which sect do you two boys belong to?"
Yang Xian flew off his horse, whispered a few words in the guard's ear, and took out a piece of letter paper from his arms. The guard took it and looked at it. He became a little more polite, moved out of the way, and said, "Please, you two. If you are in the city, please dismount."
Yang Xian nodded and said, "That's natural."
Qianqiu took off the back of the knife and let it return to the cultivation pool. Then he looked at the guard with some suspicion, then looked at Yang Xian, and asked: "Lao Yang, what did you show him? He asked us Come in?"
"In order to prevent unnecessary complications, I showed him the token of the Yang family. Although my father is not a high-ranking official, it should be enough for the family members of a fourth-grade official to enter." Yang Xian said.
"I didn't expect that your Yang family's face would come in handy." Qianqiu said with a smile.
Yang Xian didn't answer, just smiled slightly.
The two walked across the moat and passed through the South Gate. When they looked up, they saw the bustling Nanmen Street. The street was wide enough for dozens of people to walk side by side. The vendors and stores were lined up on both sides of the road. One cross in the middle of the road, in order. As for the environment, there are green trees dotted every few dozen steps, and the streets are spotless.
The streets were crowded with people calling for buyers and sellers. It was very lively.
"Brother Qian, Shengdu City is not even a little bigger than the Huanghu City we visited before, and it is possible to get lost. Let's just say that Nanmen Street connects at least a hundred large and small streets, and the streets are all somewhat similar. , if..." Yang Xian reminded as he walked forward.
Qianqiu grabbed Yang Xian's neck and said, "Old Yang, I won't run. With you as a tour guide, am I still afraid that I won't be able to find the way?"
"That's true, but having said that, the Holy Capital is divided into four areas. My home is in Xuanwufang, which is not very far from the South Gate. It's your first time coming to the Holy Capital. Let's take the main road and I'll take you around."
"Let's go shopping. We have plenty of time in the future. We have urgent matters. Let's go back to your house first and then go to the Demon Subduing Guild." Qianqiu was dazzled by the strange things in front of him and looked at them while talking.
The two of them walked a few hundred steps forward with the flow of people, and saw many people gathered in a small open space. They seemed to hear the words Northwest Chaotianzhou, baby, in their ears.
"Lao Yang, there is a treasure here, should we go and have a look?" Qianqiu suggested.
Yang Xian nodded and said: "The Holy City is in short supply of foreign merchants. Maybe there are treasures for sale. Let's go and take a look."
The two squeezed into the crowd, walked to the front of the crowd, and stood in a good position.
What caught my eye were two little girls. They looked young, around seventeen or eighteen years old. A dark blue broadcloth was spread out in front of them. There were many objects on the broadcloth, but the objects looked a bit old. , should be an old item.
One of the little girls had long hair with yellow and white hair. She was wearing a white coat and a pair of white linen trousers. She was holding a dog tail flower in her mouth and looking around. people.
Another little girl has short hair, as black as ink, and the ink-colored Rosa clothes she wears seem to be a few years old, with a lot of patches on them. At this moment, she is holding a book to sell.
At this moment, some of the onlookers around started talking.
"I said, your broken knife is too expensive, isn't it? You said it's worth ten taels of silver, but even ten coppers is too expensive."
At this time, the short-haired woman smiled and said: "Sir, our Meteor Watermelon Knife was made from the mouth of the wolf demon in the Evil Ghost State. Don't look at how dull it is at the moment. Take it back and sharpen it with a whetstone. That’s a quick decision!”
"You're still bragging! You're a wolf demon! Where did you pick up the rags?" A tall and thick man dropped the broken knife and turned away.
"You don't want to buy it. Why are you throwing away my sword?" The short-haired woman picked up the broken knife and put it in her arms.
Seeing the man leave, someone in the crowd answered: "I say so. Just looking at this painting, the painting is quite decent, but what is inside? A picture of an erotic palace? You two are not afraid of being arrested by the officials. Grasp!"
As soon as they heard these three words, the crowd became restless.
"Pornographic pictures? Show me, show me!"
"I see it too, I see it too, get out of the way for me."
"Ouch, what bastard stepped on my foot?"
"I buy, I buy, whoever robs me is in a hurry!"
"You fools, what a picture of an erotic palace. There is a palace drawn in it, and there is a plaque hanging on the palace with two words written on it: erotic palace."
"Being cheated? Where's that guy just now? Where's everyone entertaining? Beat him!"
In just a moment, many people left, and Qianqiu and Yang Xian laughed loudly. This incident really made them laugh.
The onlookers saw that the things these two girls were selling were of little value, some muttered a few words, some took one look at the sale, and then slowly dispersed. In the end, only Qianqiu and Yang Xian stayed where they were.
At this time, the long-haired woman who had been silent saw that the two brothers in front of her didn't move, so she asked: "They have left, why don't you two leave?"
Qianqiu didn't answer, squatted down, and began to look through these "treasures" as he pleased.
Yang Xian looked at the two people in front of him and asked: "You two are penniless, but you sell things so expensively. Are you encountering any difficulties?"
The long-haired woman and the short-haired woman glanced at each other and frowned.
The long-haired woman stepped on the wooden box beside her and said disdainfully without looking at Yang Xian: "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, get out."
Yang Xian was not annoyed and said: "If you really have any difficulties, maybe I can help you. Stop using these old things to deceive people..."
"I wonder if you are annoying? Don't think that you can teach people a lesson just by reading a few years of books!" The long-haired woman waved her hand and threw the book at Yang Xian.
Yang grabbed it first and was about to answer, but unexpectedly the short-haired woman on the side stopped him first. She then scolded: "Xiaobing, what's the matter with you? How can you sell something if you are so unreasonable to customers?"
"Lu Xiaojia, take care of yourself first! Don't think that just because you are my sister, you can teach others a lesson! Have you sold anything in so many days?" The long-haired woman threw away the dog's tail grass in her mouth and became very angry. Leave.
"Eh... you!" The short-haired woman was about to call her, but she was at a loss for a moment, but she quickly realized and started packing her things. While packing, she said to Qianqiu and Yang Xian: "Don't blame me, you two. This sister has a bad temper, I just need to go back and try to persuade her."
Qianqiu and Yang Xian didn't know what to say, and were stunned for a moment.
The short-haired woman quickly packed up the things on the ground, shouldered the wooden box, and turned around to chase her sister.
Only then did Yang Xian realize that he was still holding the book in his hand, and immediately chased after him.
Although the short-haired woman was carrying a suitcase on her back, she was walking very slowly. She ducked and dodged a few times in the crowded streets before she got into the alley. Yang Xian and Qianqiu kept calling for people from behind, but they were also covered up by the sounds of people on the street.
The two of them followed the short-haired woman into a small alley, walked to another small street, and then made several more turns.
"This little girl runs too fast!" Qianqiu sighed while chasing her.
"Perhaps I am anxious to pursue my sister, which is understandable." Yang Xian said.
Finally, the two of them stopped. What appeared in front of them was a short courtyard. When they looked inside, they saw dead leaves everywhere and it was in dilapidated condition.
"I never thought there would be such a dilapidated place in the Holy Capital." Yang Xian looked around.
Qianqiu was not surprised and walked into the courtyard as soon as he lowered his head.
Behind a wooden door, I saw the two sisters: at this time, the elder sister was comforting the angry younger sister.
"What are you two doing here?!" The long-haired woman stood up warily and picked up the knife on the ground.
Yang Xian waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Girl, please don't get me wrong, we are here to return the book." He quickly took out the book from his arms.
The long-haired woman looked at Qianqiu and Yang Xian suspiciously, stared straight at them, and said sternly: "No, that book is not worth much, so I gave it to you two. Please hurry up." leave here!"
Just as Yang Xiang was about to say something, the long-haired woman suddenly coughed, and veins popped up on her face. She hurriedly threw away the knife and grabbed her sister beside her: "Xiaojia... "
Before the short-haired woman could say anything, the long-haired woman coughed up a large mouthful of black blood.
Qianqiu suddenly felt that something was not good, so he stepped forward, used his cultivation power, and sealed the long-haired woman's acupuncture points with his fingers, helping her stop coughing.
Yang Xian was afraid that the two women might feel uncomfortable, so he took the lead and said: "Don't worry, girls, we are not bad people. My brother has some medical skills, let him see it first."
The short-haired woman who was about to say something saw that Qianqiu was diagnosing her pulse seriously and seeing that her sister was fine, she put down the knife she just mentioned.
Qianqiu looked at the short-haired woman's face, took her pulse again, and comforted the long-haired woman by saying, "It's just that the practice of magic has gone astray. It's nothing serious."
