Suddenly being stared at by Wei Linzi like this, Lei Ling almost exploded and her body trembled unconsciously.
Ye Ming gently stroked her hair, making her feel an inexplicable sense of relief.
This old devil is unfathomable. I still don’t know what his cultivation level is. Judging from his appearance, he should be able to deal with this person, right?
"Why are the Taoists looking at me like this? Is there any flowers on my face?"
Ye Ming asked with a smile.
"Are you protecting a monster?"
It has to be said that Yang Luming's body is really easy to use. Even Wei Linzi couldn't see Ye Ming's heels and only thought that he was a person with good cultivation.
"The Taoist Master misunderstood, how could I protect the monster?"
Ye Ming's explanation made Lei Ling's heart skip a beat. This old devil wouldn't hand him over just to avoid trouble, would he?
Hear Ye Ming continue to say:
"It's this monster that's protecting us. The Taoist Priest doesn't know. Have you seen these two children? She's protecting me, a blind man, and these two children. You have great magic power. If you want to kill her, I won't stop you. Can't stop it.
But if she dies, we won’t be able to survive. "
Saying that, Ye Ming touched the heads of the two children again:
"We have been living with the monster you call her for so long. She is just a piece of stone, which can cover up our feelings. If you kill her, we will have no choice but to let her go."
"Are you threatening me?"
There was no emotion in Wei Linzi's eyes, just cold.
"When has Taoist Master ever seen someone threaten the enemy with his own life?
If you want to kill Lei Ling now, you are our enemy. If you really want to do it, we will fight you desperately. "
Ye Ming said with determination.
After listening to Ye Ming's words, Maisui believed it and threw the stone in his hand, hitting Wei Linzi in the face.
The moment Maisui took action, Ye Ming's heart was in his throat. This unscrupulous girl had not fooled her opponent yet, but she was fooled.
Damn it, it looks like my identity may be exposed today.
Ye Ming was mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Regarding the stone thrown by Maisui, Wei Linzi reached out to catch it and held it in his hand, unable to fly back at all.
Seeing this, Maisui was a little scared, but more angry. He jumped off the cart, picked up a stone and threw it.
It's a pity that the power is too small and he can't hit Wei Linzi at all.
Seeing that the wheat ears could not hit anyone, the wild fruit on the side became anxious, so they got out of the car and picked up rocks to help smash them.
Wei Linzi watched the two children hit him with stones, then looked at Ye Ming and Lei Ling, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually disappeared.
"I don't believe a word of what you said...
It was these two children who saved the monster. "
After finishing speaking, Wei Linzi threw the stone back into Maisui's hand, turned around and stepped on the flying sword, which turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
Seeing Wei Linzi disappear, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous, but he didn't expect that it was two children who stopped a conflict from breaking out in the end.
After confirming that there was no danger, Ye Ming threw Lei Ling out, who was enjoying herself in his arms. Lei Ling's movements were faster than her reaction. She first landed smoothly with her four claws dancing in the air, and then she reacted with a look on her face. Looking at Ye Ming angrily:
"what are you doing?"
Ye Ming ignored her and carried the two children back to the cart with one hand in each hand.
"Go, skin some wolf skins and give them some clothes."
He ordered Lei Ling unceremoniously.
Lei Ling, who was originally very grateful to Ye Ming, was angry with him again and went to play with the wolf skin angrily.
Seeing that Lei Ling had turned into a woman, Ye Guo was a little scared and hid in Mai Sui's arms and whispered:
"Cat is a monster?"
Maisui comforted her a few words, and Ye Guo saw that Lei Ling was not fierce at all and was very cute, so she was no longer afraid after a while.
After a while, the two children put on wolf fur coats and no longer felt cold.
Lei Ling turned into a cat again, being held in Mai Sui's arms, purring comfortably.
Ye Guo looked at Lei Ling curiously, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it.
Seeing this, Maisui generously handed Lei Ling to Ye Guo.
Lei Ling:? ? ?
Why was he being sent back and forth between two children?
I am a monster!
So undignified?
Ye Guo hugged Lei Ling, feeling warm and happy, with a smile on her face.
Not long after, the two children, who had been strangers before, were sitting on the donkey cart clinging to each other, hugging Lei Ling and keeping warm together.
Snowflakes are flying and the donkey cart is moving slowly. The ground is white, the wind is cold, and the snowflakes are as big as hands. It was at the point where the cold wind broke that a pair of cold gulls sprang up.
The mountain road is traveled by a single car, and there is no one to talk about.
Just walking all the way, we finally arrived at Shoushui City.
Chenzhou has always had two passes and three cities. The two passes were Lumen Pass in the north to resist the Liang people, and Shanxiang Pass in the west to resist the Fan people.
The three cities refer to the three important towns in Chenzhou, namely Shoushui City in the southeast, Anwucheng in the northwest, and Jiafei City in the southwest.
Ye Ming and his party arrived at Shoushui City, one of the three cities today.
Looking from a distance, you can see Shoushui City, with its high city and deep pool, standing among the mountains.
As the last shield of Chenzhou, Shoushui City has a very important position. In the past dynasties, whenever Shoushui City was breached, it basically meant that the dynasty would either perish or turn from prosperity to decline, without exception.
For example, this dynasty has been in a state of decline since the Shoushui City was attacked once by the Liang people during the reign of Emperor "Yongping", and the national power has been deteriorating, almost leading to today's situation.
If the Liang people and the Fan people were not in civil strife now, how could there be peace on the border of Xu country?
Of course, these have nothing to do with Ye Ming. He came here just to find his own opportunities.
Standing far outside the city, Ye Ming discovered that the city god Yin Chai and others here were not in good condition, and their number did not seem to be large.
It stands to reason that in a place like Chenzhou where there are many ghosts and ghosts causing trouble, the power of the city god should be stronger than in other places. However, the power of the city god in Shoushui City does not seem to be strong, and it is not even as strong as the power of the city god in some prefectures in Pingzhou.
Seeing Ye Ming looking at the Yin Chai patrolling outside the city, Lei Ling asked curiously:
"They have a problem?"
"Not strong enough. Their cultivation is not worthy of the strength Shoushui City should have."
Ye Ming touched his chin,
"But this way, we don't have to worry too much about doing things. For us, it's not a bad thing."
The inspection upon entering the city in Shoushui City is much stricter than that in other places, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city are also very greedy, always trying to collect some entry fees.
All vehicles carrying goods must be exploited, otherwise they would never be able to enter the city.
Even a blind man like Ye Ming, who looked poor, was blackmailed because he could afford a donkey cart.
Ye Ming dug around and found out five cents, which he handed over to the officers and soldiers with great reluctance, and then he entered the city smoothly.
When Lei Ling saw this, she felt it was funny. This old devil was so good at acting.
After entering the city, I found that the whole city was depressed, and any other city in Pingzhou was much more prosperous than this one.
But it is understandable, after all, it is a military town.
It is said to be an important military town, but the defense here is really hard to describe.
Just for a moment, Ye Ming saw a group of so-called city patrol soldiers. Not to mention that they were all listless, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had almost no fighting ability.
The first impression given here is that the weapons are lax and the defense is neglected.
It can be said that the rare soldiers who did their duty were actually the group of soldiers who collected money from the city gate.
Although I had already known some of the situation of the border troops from Pang Yuan, it was still embarrassing to see it with my own eyes.
Seeing these soldiers is basically equivalent to seeing the sign of national subjugation.
Of course, Ye Ming didn't care, and even wished that Xu Guo would be over soon.
The country of Xu is playing tricks. Judging from the conflicts accumulated in the country now, it is impossible to build a new dynasty without more than ten or twenty years of war.
For such a long time, it has been the stage for demons.
The only ones who are worried are the people from the Qingyi sect.
There is no chaos in the world, and they only have three disciples walking outside at most.
Once the world is in chaos, the Qingyi Sect will no longer be restrained. Then...
Oh, it doesn't matter. As long as you are careful and hide deeper, there are so many monsters in the world. It's impossible for the other party to stare at you and kill them, right?
Definitely impossible!
After walking around the city, Ye Ming found an inn.
There are currently no other guests in this inn, so when Ye Ming arrives, he is extremely enthusiastic.
According to the shopkeeper, they are the first wave of customers since the beginning of winter this year.
It seems that Chenzhou is indeed not suitable for outsiders to move around. Almost all locals are here.
Moreover, the locals don’t seem to want to stay here and want to leave and seek life elsewhere.
The water source management in Shoushui City is very strict, and each household does not use much water. Fortunately, the snow is heavy now, and a basin of snow can be turned into water.
Fortunately, there are enough medicinal materials and ingredients for treating chilblains in the city. This is also the experience accumulated by Chenzhou people over the years, and they have a good way to deal with chilblains.
This time Ye Ming was too lazy to take action and asked Mai Sui to boil water and add ingredients to cure chilblains for his "child bride".
Chilblains are actually not a big problem. The real problem is lung disease in wild fruits.
I keep coughing all day long. There is currently no cure for this disease. I asked a doctor to see him and he could only prescribe some relief medicine.
Moreover, many medicinal materials are not available in the city.
It can't be said that there are none. To be precise, all the good medicinal materials have been taken away by the military, and the remaining medicinal materials in the pharmacy are not good medicinal materials.
That night, the shopkeeper's youngest son kept crying and complained that his stomach hurt.
Since it was right below Ye Ming's room, the noise was very loud and could be heard clearly.
Two little girls lying in their clothes hugged each other and were sleeping soundly, but they were woken up.
Until now, Ye Guo didn't know that Mai Sui was a girl, and thought she was a boy. She subconsciously took Mai Sui's hand and put it on her ear because she thought it was too noisy downstairs.
When Ye Ming saw the two children being woken up, he opened his eyes again and looked downstairs. Then he closed his eyes, with a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth, and kicked Lei Ling out of bed.
"Meow!!!"
Lei Ling, who was sleeping soundly, went crazy and bared her teeth at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming pointed downstairs and motioned for Lei Ling to handle it.
Seeing this, Lei Ling rolled her eyes and reluctantly went downstairs.
After a while, the children downstairs stopped crying.
Lei Ling rolled in through the window, transformed into a woman, opened her mouth, spit out a ghost, and said smoothly:
"She's a female prostitute who specializes in stealing children's souls."
This female prostitute is a woman in green clothes with an ugly and ferocious face.
The ugly woman-looking female prostitute was still a little dizzy after being spit out. After seeing Ye Ming, she realized something and hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting for her fate.
Ye Ming asked: "How did you get into the city?"
"Returning to the Immortal Chief, the little demon sneaked in while Yin Chao was on patrol."
"Is the patrol patrol very lax?"
"Don't let up, but the number of undercover agents in the city is very small, and they are not enough to defend the entire city."
"Do you know why?"
"I know, if the little demon said it, please ask the immortal..."
"You are not qualified to make conditions."
"Yes Yes Yes......"
The female prostitute was startled and quickly explained,
“Originally, the power of the city god in the city was very strong, but this summer there was a great plague and a plague demon was born.
The magical power of the plague was so powerful that it was difficult to eliminate. The city god Yin lost his troops and generals, and spent a lot of time to seal it.
Shoushui City's defense also became unable to cope with this. "
"Oh~~Plague Demon, then do you know where the Plague Demon's seal is?"
"This...how could the little demon know such a secret..."
Ye Ming asked some more questions, and the female fork spirit answered them truthfully.
After asking the question, the female prostitute looked at Ye Ming anxiously, hoping that he would let her go.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Lei Ling, let her go and put her in the City God's Temple."
"Ah!? Immortal, please forgive me, Immortal, please forgive me!"
