The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

"What happened to True Lord Zhaoheng? It's rare to see him so panicked." Liu Mosi was a little curious.

"I don't know. I probably found that there was still water boiling on the stove when I went out." Jiang Zhixia didn't take it to heart. This person only came to discuss it with her when he couldn't figure it out. If he doesn't say anything, she doesn't care.

"Okay, everyone has been working hard these days. I'll cook a good meal for everyone tonight." Mo Yanxu stretched his arms. He was very tired these days. "Let's have a good rest after eating, and we'll hit the road together tomorrow to go to Yan'an." Gate City.”

"Ah? Ah!" Jiang Zhixia quickly refused, "No, senior brother, you can just go to Xihuang Mountain on the seventh day of February. These students will have exams soon and cannot do without you."

"Master Zhang is better than me, don't worry. And you need me more than them. This journey is full of difficulties and dangers. What if a bad guy meets Xiao Liu?

She never listened to advice and beat someone to death on impulse. We were involved in a life-threatening lawsuit, and they went to the mountains and asked us for money. What should we do? "

Mo Yanxu held Jiang Zhixia with her left hand and Liu Mosi with her right hand, gesturing for Lu Chennian to follow, "That's it, let's go shopping first. There's a lot to be said for buying groceries, senior brother, I'll teach you..."

Just after the third watch of the night, Jiang Zhixia, Liu Mosi and Lu Chennian crept out of the house with their bags on their backs and walked outside.

Liu Mosi said worriedly: "Would it break Senior Brother's heart if we leave like this?"

"No, senior brother has a broad mind and is not willing to be angry with us."

"But it won't cost much to bring him in. He can share a room with me." Lu Chennian persuaded. He still has deep feelings for this senior brother.

"Wrong, very wrong." Jiang Zhixia opened her eyes and lied, "It's not because of money. But since ancient times, those who have accomplished things have always been a small group of three people. Three is a lucky number, think of the three in Taoyuan becoming sworn brothers. And three is always the best. , think about three attacks on Zhujiazhuang, three attacks on White Bone Essence, three attacks on Zhou Yu...so one more goes against the laws of history, this is all life experience, do you understand?"

"Monkey and the others are four of us."

"So they are always fighting among themselves along the way. I am the leader, and I have some considerations!"

Liu Mosi interjected: "But there is also internal strife among the three. Isn't it true that there are two peaches who kill three people?"

Jiang Zhixia:......

"Okay, from today on, we are prohibited from eating peaches on the road."

???

As soon as the three of them reached the archway, they saw Mo Jianxu standing under the moonlight, carrying a bag and waiting for them.

He was very happy to see the three of them and said: "I knew you would leave overnight, so I packed up in advance and waited here. I didn't even sleep at night. I didn't expect you to get up quite early."

Jiang Zhixia was dumbfounded, he was trying too hard.

He continued: "I know, Xiao Liu, you are worried that senior brother will not be able to bear the bumpy journey. But as senior brother, I must take good care of you no matter how tired you are. I came out in a hurry this time and only brought three hundred taels of silver. Tickets and some loose silver coins, I don’t know if they are enough..."

Jiang Zhixia stepped forward and took Mo Yanxu's arm, smiling like a flower.

"I have long said that I would call my senior brother, but they both disagreed no matter what. They were worried that one more person would cost a lot. I almost got into a fight with them because of this. Senior brother, you know me, I never take my money back. thing."

"That's it, who is our Xiao Liu! I've seen you look aloof from the world since I was a child. Although I never saw you when you were a child..."

……

Because of Mo Yanxu's joining, the journey was even more lively.

Lu Chennian was convinced by these three people. The small theater is at your fingertips. His senior brother accompanied them to fool around.

However, because of Mo Yanxu's presence, Lu Chennian never had to spend half an hour wondering whether he should eat out or eat at the inn for ten cents.

The four of them set off from Sangzhou, took the waterway and took a boat to Yanmen City.

Jiang Zhixia had been there with Xie Zezhi before, and she was shocked by the prosperity of that city. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and stalls and vendors can be seen everywhere, with constant shouting. It's even more lively at night and brightly lit.

Thinking of Xie Zezhi, she couldn't help but sigh heavily. When she first met him, he was not as cold as he is now. He always spoke to her in a gentle voice and was never angry.

His temper has changed since he came out of isolation. Perhaps it was because the people from their sect had knocked down the Divine Pillar that supported the sky that he had always been unfavorable to her, but it was not her who pushed that thing. I don’t know how long this person will be angry.

Lu Chennian rarely saw her looking worried, so he asked her what was wrong.

Jiang Zhixia was embarrassed to say that she thought of Xie Zezhi, "It's the beginning of the month, right? When are you going to pay me the installment of the four pieces of silver and the sword you owe me?"

Lu Chennian wished he could give himself a slap in the face and not care what she did.

"When I wait for Yanmen City, I will find a way to raise enough money as soon as possible."

"You better be."

Half a month later, the four finally arrived at Yanmen City.

Yanmen City, which was once bustling and lively, is now no different than an empty city. The city is a desolate scene, with only a few shops open at noon.

There were only a few children playing in the street. These children look weird and can't be called cute.

The doors of residents' houses are wide open. Some women were sitting in the courtyard, and there seemed to be no one else at home. They had big bellies, expressionless faces, and dull eyes, as if they had lost their souls.

Jiang Zhixia approached them to feel their pulse. They screamed and ran away, hiding in corners and watching her warily.

Suddenly a woman's laughter came from the street. When everyone walked out of the house, they saw an unkempt woman holding a baby in her arms. Her skirt was covered in blood. The baby's body was still bloodshot, and he must have just been born.

She was running and laughing with the baby in her arms, but accidentally fell to the ground and the baby escaped. She suddenly panicked and knelt down to kowtow to him. After hearing the child cry, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like she was more worried about the baby dying than getting hurt.

Mo Yanxu hurriedly went up to hold the child in his arms, coaxed him and returned it to the woman. After the woman took it, her eyes were full of indifference, she turned and left without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, where are your family members?" Mo Jianxu asked after her.

She walked forward indifferently without any reaction.

"Sister-in-law? This sister-in-law?"

An old man carrying a pole came over and said, "Stop shouting, she won't answer you. You should leave quickly."

"Old man, this is..."

"Don't ask, they are all poor people." After that, he continued to walk forward, shouting: "What an injustice."

What happened to this city?

The four found an inn that was still open. The inside was covered with dust, the stools were set up on the tables, and a picture of a beauty hung behind the inn counter, which looked out of place in the dilapidated shop.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw Jiang Zhixia and the others. After confirming that they were guests, he quickly took down the stools and wiped the table clean.

"I'm really sorry, everyone. The shop has been out of business for a long time, and the cook has also been fired. All you guys have to eat is clear soup noodles, do you think?"

"Okay, then clear soup noodles."

The shopkeeper went to work in the kitchen, and they looked around at the surrounding environment.

"This painting is so real. I feel like the girl above is looking at me." Liu Mosi asked Mo Yansu, "Senior brother, could this be some kind of monster?"

Mo Yanxu stood up and walked around the counter to look at the painting carefully.

The characters in the painting are very lifelike, and their hair is clearly defined, as if a person has been imprinted into it. But the paint and scroll of this painting are the most ordinary, and it really doesn't look like a monster.

There was nothing strange about the paper when he touched it.

The shopkeeper came out with his face in hand and happened to see Mo Yanxu touching the painting, so he quickly stopped him. "My guest, please don't touch the scroll."

He put his face on the table and hurried to the scroll. When he saw that the scroll was fine, he felt relieved.

"Shopkeeper, this painting is very precious. Who is painted on it?" Jiang Zhixia asked.

"My daughter."

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.

The shopkeeper continued: "Not only our family has it, but most people here have paintings with their daughters or wives on them."
