"I'm selling sesame cakes! I'm selling sesame cakes!"
"This is excellent Sophora japonica wine. Come and take a look, everyone."
"Master, please come inside. Master, don't leave!"
...
The hawking sounds along the street make the brightly lit Yangzhou City look extremely peaceful and peaceful.
Walking on the wide streets, watching the vendors and the children chasing each other and playing, Chen Changan's whole body and mind were relaxed. It was rare that he had not experienced all kinds of things in the world.
The reason why the carrier pigeon was released instead of following it to raid the three-eyed baby-eating monster's lair was that it was not certain that where the carrier pigeon went was the three-eyed baby-eating monster's lair.
According to Elder Guan Zhong and City Lord Wei Que, this three-eyed baby-eating demon is notoriously cautious. It is very unlikely that the inner immortal in the city lord's mansion will communicate with it directly using a carrier pigeon. Most likely, the carrier pigeon will fly to another insider. In his hands, another person or several other insiders will pass the news to the real three-eyed baby-eating demon.
Chen Changan didn't want to alert the enemy, after all, he wouldn't stay in Yangzhou City for too long.
Once his strength is exposed and he fails to completely kill the three-eyed baby-eating demon, it will be difficult to find a second chance to take action.
Secondly, the inner immortal in the city lord's palace obviously hopes that the three-eyed baby-eating demon will fight with him.
The four sentences he conveyed to the three-eyed baby-eating demon were full of provocation, and even continued to provoke anger.
"The fourth level of the spiritual realm."
"The Taoist artifact Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron."
"If you make a big fuss in Yunyu Tower, your strength should be inferior to yours."
"Promise to kill you!!"
...
Facing an enemy who is not as powerful as himself, possesses a lot of treasures, and speaks nonsense, Chen Changan believes that as long as this three-eyed baby-eating demon is not a softie, he will definitely come to Chen Changan.
After all, the two strongest people in Yangzhou City, Elder Guan Zhong and the city lord Wei Que, are not around Chen Changan. Killing him, Chen Changan, will not only kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but also obtain the Taoist artifact Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron.
The temptation of a Taoist artifact would definitely make the three-eyed baby-eating demon take the risk.
If the three-eyed baby-eating demon obtains the Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron, he will be powerful enough to crush the city lord Wei Que. Even Elder Guan Zhong, who is on the sixth level of the spiritual realm, will not be afraid of him.
"Hero, hero, please spare your life!"
"We are just fleeing from other places. We have no money, no money!"
Just as Chen Changan was immersed in the prosperity of Yangzhou City, he walked to the corner of the street and was interrupted by a burst of wailing and begging for mercy.
Following the sound, several shirtless and fierce-looking strong men with big swords in their hands surrounded an old man and a young girl with joking faces, asking for money.
"Hero, we escaped from Luohe Village, a hundred miles away. Our Luohe Village was besieged by several demon kings. My little girl and I finally took advantage of the chaos to escape to Yangzhou City. We haven't eaten for three days. I really have nothing. The money is really gone."
Uh-huh!
Before the old man finished speaking, the leading strong man raised a big knife in his hand, put it directly on his neck, and said with a curse: "Don't talk nonsense to me, you foreigners came to Yangzhou City just to cause trouble for us. , If you don’t hand over some money, I will chop you up right now!”
As he spoke, he didn't bother to talk nonsense to the old man. He raised the big knife in his hand, and the sharp sword light flashed away. A hole was opened in the strong man's chest, and the patched cotton clothes were torn instantly, revealing that the inside was already black and smelly. of cotton, but then bright red blood gurgled out from the wound, like spring water, and instantly dyed half of the old man's body red.
"Bring it here, you, a foreigner like you, I don't know how many can I rob in a year!"
The leading man grabbed the money bag from the old man's arms and kicked the old man to the ground, causing him to cough up blood:
"Only fifty cents, bah, poor guy!"
"I annoy you poor guys the most. You all value money more than your life. If you take out the money as soon as possible, it will be over. If the knife in my hand is stained with blood, you are a bastard!!"
Weighing the money bag in his hand, the strong man poured out all the fifty coins inside, and then threw the money bag full of dirt and patches aside with disgust on his face and spitting at the same time.
"Grandpa! Are you okay? Grandpa!"
The little girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and held the dying old man in her arms, bursting into tears and crying loudly:
"Robbers! You are all robbers!"
"My grandpa and I walked for three months before we reached Yangzhou City. I didn't expect that as soon as I escaped from the monster's mouth, I was targeted by you. You just grabbed the money. Why did you hurt my grandpa? You are worse than the monsters. hateful!!"
Several strong men grabbed the money and were about to leave, but after hearing the little girl's cry, they suddenly turned around and looked up and down the little girl's body under the influence of alcohol, their eyes gleaming:
"She's a little girl. She's quite handsome. She should be able to get a good price if she sells it to Yunyu Tower."
While talking, several strong men surrounded the little girl again. The leading strong man stretched out a big fat hand directly towards the little girl's face and pinched it.
"Get out! Get out of here. Grandpa, let's go back to Luohe Village. Although there are monsters there, they are better than bandits and hooligans like them!!"
The little girl opened the strong man's hand, hugged her dying grandfather, and wanted to leave.
But will these strong men let her go?
Obviously not!
"Want to leave now? Do you think I, Wang Zhongfa, am wandering around in Yangzhou City for nothing?"
The strong man at the head waved, and several younger brothers immediately gathered around him:
"Brothers, drag this little bitch down first, we'll be done with it, and then sell it to Yunyu Tower!!"
"Okay, big brother!"
"These foreigners are still easy to bully!"
"We are happy and can continue to sell money, the boss is wise!"
.....
"Let me go! Let me go! I want to report to the official. I don't believe that the lord of Yangzhou City won't..."
"Bah! How dare you, a foreigner, report to the government? Do you know the surname of the lord of our Yangzhou City? You are a little bitch, let me beat you up!!"
Amidst the curses, several strong men tore off the little girl's clothes in the street.
"Let go of my granddaughter, let go... let go of me... My granddaughter, what are you going to do... to the old man, me..."
boom! !
Before the dying old man could finish his words for help, he was kicked to the ground by one of the strong men, causing his head to bleed.
The vendors and servants passing by saw this tragic scene and looked sideways, unable to bear to look directly at it.
But no one dared to stop him. After all, Wang Zhongfa was a well-known gangster in Yangzhou City. I heard that he was somewhat related to the city lord's mansion. He was used to bullying men and dominating women. Even the aboriginals in Yangzhou City were Don't dare to provoke.
Chen Changan frowned, and after some hesitation, he turned around and continued walking forward.
Where there is good there is evil, where there is yin there is yang.
The prosperous city of Yangzhou, where the country is peaceful and the people are safe, is not always filled with flowers, singing and dancing...
In prosperous times, acne is bound to occur.
"Xiaodie, run! Run!!"
Seeing that the little girl's clothes were almost stripped off, revealing her skin as white as snow, the old man who had been knocked to the ground didn't know where he got the strength from, and suddenly rushed towards several strong men, using his old age-old body. With his broken body, he desperately stopped several strong men and gave the little girl a chance to escape.
"grandfather!"
The little girl covered her face and sobbed, while running away, crying at the top of her lungs.
"Go away, leave me alone! Go away!"
"Leave Yangzhou City, leave these humans who are more hateful than monsters!!"
...
The little girl stumbled away, looking back three times with each step. Tears as big as peas had already wet her clothes. But when she saw Chen Changan walking with a sword, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her already dim pupils.
"Immortal, save me! Save my grandpa!"
The little girl tried her best to run to Chen Changan. She covered her torn clothes and knelt down at Chen Changan's feet, begging humbly:
"As long as you are willing to save my grandfather, Xiaodie is willing to be a slave for the rest of his life. Xiaodie is willing to do anything. Xiaodie..."
Looking at the little girl who was kneeling in front of him and pleading, Chen Changan sighed slightly, holding the sword in one hand, and caressing the little girl's forehead with the other hand, and tidied up the slightly messy girl's forehead with his fingers. hair, and spoke softly:
"As long as I save your grandpa, will you do anything for me?"
Seeing her grandfather being beaten continuously by several strong men, the little girl blurted out without even thinking:
"I do! I do!!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Changan said solemnly: "Okay, I will help you kill them!"
Grandpa is saved!
The little girl smiled happily, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, and the warm sunshine filled the sky. In an instant, the whole world became brighter.
The little girl didn't hesitate, turned around and ran staggeringly towards her grandfather who was surrounded by strong men. She was afraid that if she delayed any longer, her grandfather would die.
Uh-huh! !
The Canlan Sword was unsheathed, and the cold and sharp tip of the sword instantly pierced the little girl's heart when she turned around...
