(Mountains, rivers and nine states, the northern head is Ji)
Lanfeng and his party wandered for a few days and left the Beihai territory. They said they were going south to Wutai Mountain, but they were just south of the Beihai. Along the way, the cold wind gradually picked up, and there were only a few people around. However, the pines and cypresses on the mountains became darker and darker, and the weeds on both sides were only thorns. Only then did we know that winter had begun in the world.
After climbing over several dangerous mountains, Lan Feng and the five of them stood on a hilltop, looking at the fireworks world and the thousands of towers below. A feeling of sadness came to Lan Feng's heart again.
Mo Yun unfolded the Eight Wastelands Universe scroll and said, "It looks like we have arrived in Jizhou."
Among the nine states in the world, Jizhou is the first. Looking at the vast expanse of land, one can tell that this is a scene of wealth and wealth in the world. A few people looked sharply and noticed that there were two big characters "Yancheng" written on the city gate. But in the city and outside the city, there were two worlds in the eyes of Lan Feng and the five people. There is also a poem to prove it. The poem says:
Entering the city-state in early winter, the wealthy family added a new fire kang.
Children play in the alley, and rock candy is sold outside the alley.
But I saw that the red building was full and a bowl of soju was brought to the table.
The Tsing Yi stage is buzzing, and the horns are slowly appliquéd in yellow.
There are spectators cheering for you, and there are bounties thrown at you.
Pure gold is burned into melon seeds, and the seeds are carefully carved.
Looking back, the north wind blows and rolls down the thatch outside the city.
Half of the stone wall fell down, and a black dog hung on its belly in front of the door.
His face is yellow and his skin is red, and his hands are wrapped in his arms.
His eyes were disappointed with the crops, and his breath was white.
There are two rice bags hanging on the window, and the seams are patched in several places.
It does not contain the coarse bran and brown rice, but only the biting winter wind.
The so-called wall separates two generations from each other.
One place is called Wine and Meat, and the other is called Cold Cage.
"This is the human world." Lan Feng said.
Mo Yun looked at the city gate and murmured: "Is this what the world will be like five hundred years from now? It seems not as good as before the world was transformed by the True Scripture..."
Hai Yesheng said: "The king of Tang was deceived by the gods after all. After five hundred years of vicissitudes, the dynasty in this world no longer has the surname Li. The war is raging where we are going, and I don't know if the Manjusri Taoist temple has survived. .
Dynasties rise and fall, cycle after cycle. Faith gives them the name of solid power, but the abundant days will make those in power forget their faith, because this person in power has become the faith of the world. "
"So, if the gods want their beliefs to survive, they need a mediocre person in power to kill people's hearts, and they also need to choose a person who adheres to the beliefs of the gods from among tens of millions of people to inherit the rights. This is how the war in the world starts. The opportunity..." Mu Zhi said.
Lanfeng smiled after hearing this: "But the human race doesn't know that their faith will never save them, right?"
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first and then make further plans." Mo Yun said.
The five people flew down to the foot of the mountain, passing by the poor people outside the city, and walked into the bustling city from the long stone city wall. It's not that these people are unwilling to help the people outside the city, it's just that Lan Feng comes from a poor family and is used to seeing people who are content with their destiny. If you really want to save her, you might as well give the world a free destiny.
After entering the city, several people found a nearby inn to stay. It's still early before the date of the appointment with Feng Yi. Although they are strong and strong, they are a little tired from running around for days. Why not take this opportunity to have a good rest in Yancheng and enjoy the fireworks in the world.
After settling in, Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi stayed at the inn to sort out the clues left by the Green Lion King, but Ruoxue couldn't bear her temper. When she saw that it was just past noon, she shouted to go for a walk on the street. Lanfeng was worried that something would happen to her, so he went with her, leaving Hai Yesheng at the inn to prevent any changes.
The two of them walked through the busy city, and the rare things in the world aroused Ruoxue's curiosity. Ruoxue liked it very much when picking up candy figures, rag dolls, and rattles for coaxing children.
Before leaving, Lan Feng asked Mo Yun for some money. Seeing Ruoxue like this, he bought it all with his wallet.
But as they walked, the two of them found that the people around them were looking at them strangely. Lanfeng and Ruoxue looked at each other and realized that they had monster bodies and the clothes they wore were all made of thin materials. At this time, the early winter in the world had arrived, and many people were already wrapped in cotton clothes.
Lanfeng smiled bitterly and pulled Ruoxue quickly towards a clothing store. The shop owner's wife saw that these two men were wearing thin and shabby clothes, and she didn't look good. She moved her round body over and said, "Hey, where are you two looking at your clothes?"
Lan Feng responded: "Yes, boss lady, the weather is getting cold, so I brought my sister here to buy some clothes."
Ruoxue, on the other hand, ignored the proprietress and wandered around the store. Not long after, she saw a gold-rimmed wooden box in the store.
Ruoxue said: "Madam boss, what kind of clothes are in this box?"
The landlady walked up to the box with a disdainful look on her face and said, "This is a rare item that you can't afford."
Ruoxue got angry when she saw the snobbish look on the landlady's face. She shouted, "Rare things? I want to see what's in this box!"
After saying that, he opened the box and saw a brocade fur cloak lying inside. The cloak was padded with cashmere on the inside, woven with brocade on the outside, and had a lotus flower patterned on the silver thread. It was really a good material to keep out the cold.
"Boy, I want this cloak." Ruoxue grinned and pointed at the velvet.
After hearing this, Lanfeng was about to go up and take out the cloak, but was stopped by the landlady. She said: "Hey, hey, let me tell you two, can you afford this thing?! If you can't afford it, don't bother here. If it gets damaged, you can't afford to pay for it!"
Lan Feng felt displeased when he heard this. He immediately took out a hundred taels of silver ingots from his arms and threw them into the arms of the landlady and shouted: "Is it enough? If it's not enough, please add more!"
The landlady didn't expect that Lan Feng, who was wearing shabby clothes but spending so generously, became panicked for a moment.
"What, are you selling it or not?!" Lan Feng said.
The landlady looked embarrassed and said tremblingly: "This young master, it's not that I don't want to sell it, it's just that this cloak was ordered by Luo Daguan in the city. The top-quality cashmere was picked with ice silk, and in March This is the only one that comes out, and it can’t be sold.”
Ruoxue grabbed the hem of this fat woman's clothes and yelled: "I just hated that we couldn't afford it, but now that we can afford it, we are trying to excuse it. It's obviously nonsense! I'm going to decide on this cloak!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and put the brocade cloak on his body, and threw the silver ingot aside. Lanfeng was amused for a while, but then he heard Ruoxue shouting to him: "Why are you laughing? Just give the money and leave!"
Lan Feng was stunned, but he didn't expect that Ruoxue would vent her anger on him. He shook his head and walked towards the door of the store with Ruoxue.
But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw five or six burly men with sticks surrounding the two of them. The proprietress shook her fat body and spat: "You dare to rob Mr. Luo's things? I'll fight!"
When Ruoxue saw that the landlady was unwilling to give up, her eyes sharpened and white hairs appeared in the corners of her eyes. Lan Feng knew that she was in high spirits, and hurriedly stood in front of her and whispered: "Mo Nu, watch me take care of them."
The five or six burly men swarmed up and attacked Lan Feng, but the latter dodged calmly and nimbly.
When the stick struck, Lan Feng saw the right moment and lowered his waist to grab the big man's hand. He pressed his knee against the big man's lower abdomen, and then kicked the big man away with a sweep of his calf.
Seeing this, several other people also swarmed over, but they couldn't catch a hair of Lan Feng for several rounds.
Seeing that these people were helpless against Lan Feng, the proprietress said angrily: "Are you all freeloaders?! You can't subdue a little monkey?!"
Lanfeng smiled, stepped forward and knocked the big men to the ground one after another at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Before the proprietress had recovered, Lanfeng had already pointed a wooden stick at the latter's throat.
"Sir, please spare your life, please spare my life, please." The landlady was immediately frightened.
Lanfeng smiled and said: "If you don't accept it, ask Naluo Daguan to go to Beibian'er Inn to find me. I will accompany you at any time."
After that, he stood up, threw away the stick, and walked out.
Ruoxue was wearing a cloak at the door and biting a bunch of candied haws. When she saw Lanfeng coming out, she frowned and said, "Why did it take so long?"
Lan Feng said with a smile: "When fighting against these mortals, you have to save some energy. It is not fun to cause death."
Ruoxue gave Lanfeng a white look, tugged on the cloak and said, "Hey, boy, does this look good on me?"
As a snow bat, Ruoxue's skin is already fair, and now she looks even more outstanding when she wears this brocade shawl. Lan Feng smiled and said: "It looks good, it looks good...hey, don't move,"
Just as he was talking, Lanfeng raised his hand and rubbed Ruoxue's mouth. Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then a blush flew to the tip of her ears, and she slapped Lan Feng firmly on the face with her backhand.
"what are you doing?!"
"what are you doing?!"
The two of them shouted in unison. Lanfeng covered his face and said first: "You just ate that candied haws, and there were red stains on the corners of your mouth. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wiped it for you. What's wrong?!"
After hearing this, Ruoxue was speechless for a moment: "I...I, please stay out of my business!"
After that, he walked towards the inn with long strides without looking back. Lanfeng had no choice but to follow, but he didn't want to be stopped by Hai Yesheng when he returned to the inn.
Hai Yesheng said: "Young Master, Mo Yun Banner Master has news from Luzhou."
After hearing this, Lanfeng entered the room and saw Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi sitting at the desk, staring at a domino and discussing. Lan Feng stepped forward and said, "Brother Mo Yun, what's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Lan Feng, Mo Yun said: "Xiaoxiao wrote that the gods have begun to press their troops against Luzhou, but this time the spearhead is not my demon clan. It is Teng Liu'er."
Lanfeng frowned. On that day, Teng Liuer furiously killed the giant spirit's subordinate Pan Long and announced the news of the resistance in the north to the gods. He just didn't expect the gods to move so quickly.
He said: "Teng Liu'er had to rebel for the sake of the people in the north. We, the demon clan, cannot stand by and watch."
Mo Yun nodded and said: "Zhizhi, immediately reply to Xiaoxiao and ask her to ask the Mirage Ancestor to help Teng Liu'er, and if necessary, let the innocent people stay on the shore of the Underworld for a while. Remember not to confront the Gods, so as not to Revealed where the demon clan is hiding."
While several people were discussing, they could only hear the commotion outside the window, and someone shouted: "Who just snatched Luo Guanren's cloak!! Get out of here!!"
"Bang!"
Lanfeng and the others only heard the sound of a window bursting from the next room, and the yelling and cursing below instantly turned into howls.
Mo Yun, Mu Zhizhi and Hai Yesheng looked at Lanfeng at the same time, and the latter could only say with a wry smile: "Go down and take a look, that aunt's temper is getting worse again..."
