Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 84: The City Lord's Concubine (26)
Because these people mentioned the Tianjian Sect, Fu Hengyan heard the familiar name, turned his head to take a look, and then listened with his innate advantages.
After explaining the whole story, Fu Hengyan immediately understood why these people had to travel in the rain at night.
It turned out that an evil cultivator had appeared and was causing trouble in the world, and he continued to commit crimes in the villages and towns around Luoxing County.
After a joint attack, all the followers and minions gathered by the evil cultivator have been eliminated, and only a few masterminds are still on the run.
These people in front of us are naturally not the main force to solve the problem, they are just transferred out to assist and help.
Now that the matter has come to an end, the people from the imperial court and the Tianjian sect will be responsible for the pursuit. They will return to Yueyun City to report and bring back the latest information on the handling of the matter.
“…I heard that the man fled to the northwest, which is contrary to the location of Moonfall City.
Now we can finally take a breath and rest. When we go back to get the reward for this business trip, I will treat you all and we can go to Chunfeng Tower to have fun together."
Someone opened his mouth and made everyone around him smile with just one sentence.
"He Laowu, you really are very carefree when you have money, and Chunfeng Tower easily spends hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
With your meager offering, it would be more important to save more to purchase resources for cultivation.
Every time we go on a business trip, it’s a life-threatening task, so we might as well improve our cultivation to save our lives.”
Those who have a good relationship with He Laowu quickly persuaded people to calm down, saying that Chunfeng Tower is a den of indulging in money in Yueyun City.
As long as you are rich enough, you can find all kinds of people there.
But at the same time, the Chunfeng Tower, which costs a huge amount of money, is out of reach for ordinary low-level monks.
Even those officials holding public office did not dare to step in easily.
There is no other way. The money that can only be spent once needs to be saved privately for a month or even several months. That is a place only rich people can go.
He Laowu? Ha!
"What's the point of improving our cultivation? Besides, cultivators like us have always been limited by our spiritual roots, and the road ahead is cut off. There is nothing more we can cultivate.
Since the result is the same, why bother to work so hard? It is better to live a carefree life and make the life worthwhile. "
After He Laowu finished speaking, he tilted his head back and took a sip of the spicy wine in his hand.
With his rugged appearance and free and heroic demeanor, He Laowu's words made everyone gathered in silence.
It’s a bit heartbreaking!
He Laowu, to a certain extent, has expressed the current living conditions of ordinary low-level cultivators.
Spiritual roots and qualifications are the restrictive rules and regulations. It is really difficult for ordinary cultivators to break through the constraints.
Some of the various resources used for cultivation are also controlled by the upper class. Ordinary cultivators will be skinned alive if they want to buy them. At the same time, the resources they buy may not necessarily play the corresponding role when they are used on themselves.
Even if an ordinary cultivator spends his entire life running around for cultivation resources, he may not necessarily get the results he wants.
After working hard day after day without any results, most people will choose to give up.
He Laowu is just one of the thousands of cultivators, inconspicuous and not special.
Perhaps it won't be long before He Laowu will disappear into such ordinary days like most people.
It could be death from old age, or sudden death, but who cares?
The bonfires made crackling sounds after they were lit. Inside the hall, there were several fires for every group of people.
Fu Hengyan used the magic formula to control the burning of the flame in front of him, while paying attention to the movements of the several forces in the hall.
No one spoke, and the hall became empty and quiet once again.
Shen Yao slept lightly, maybe because she had a good rest or maybe because the time was up.
She opened her eyes and rubbed Fu Hengyan's jaw with her cheek.
Fu Hengyan reached out and patted Shen Yao on the shoulder, while at the same time picking up the fallen cloak and putting it away.
The warm touch made Shen Yao squint her eyes comfortably.
"Chengqi, what's the situation?"
The voice sounded in Fu Hengyan's mind. Fu Hengyan had expected it. "They are all testing each other."
Whether it was that group of ferocious desperadoes or the other waves of people.
How could we possibly sleep peacefully in the wilderness where we were strangers to each other?
The only one who can feel so leisurely and comfortable is the little woman in his arms.
Fu Hengyan sighed, but he was more happy because it all came from Shen Yao's unconditional trust in him.
Using Fu Hengyan's strength to stand up, Shen Yao turned around to look around.
This was the first time Shen Yao saw everyone in the hall.
The burning bonfire kept flickering, and Shen Yao looked from left to right, and from right to left.
As expected, they came into contact with Zhang Laosan who had been secretly observing them.
Shen Yao didn't show any reaction, but Zhang Laosan was shocked.
Huh!
This woman is unexpectedly beautiful, and her cultivation is not low either.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and Zhang Laosan lowered his head and blinked, which was noticed by Sun Tao who was sitting next to him.
Sun Tao and Zhang Laosan were responsible for the night watch in the first half. Seeing Zhang Laosan's performance, Sun Tao thought that he had discovered something wrong.
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Laosan shook his head subconsciously, "It's okay, I just thought about the thief who escaped.
Boss, tell me, what if they are just bluffing and heading towards Moonfall City? What should we do?"
Sun Tao heard this, his eyes sharp, "Impossible, besides, the court officials and the Tianjian Sect's master are in charge of this matter, so just keep it to yourself."
"Who?!"
Sun Tao felt someone was secretly looking at him. He turned around and saw the little servant boy who was extremely frightened by him.
"I, I, I, I, please spare me, sir. I didn't mean it. I just wanted to go to the toilet. Please spare me, sir, please spare me..."
The little servant boy curled up his body and kept apologizing. He couldn't bear to see Zhang Laosan look so weak, so Sun Tao frowned.
Zhang Laosan secretly glanced at Sun Tao, and seeing his boss's brows raised, he immediately understood that his boss was impatient. He quickly spoke up and used the excuse of a lecture to tell the little servant to go out and avoid the limelight.
"Didn't you say you needed to go to the bathroom? Go quickly. It's raining outside so be careful."
After hearing what Zhang Laosan said, the little servant boy seemed to be relieved. He got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hall.
When Zhang Laosan saw the man leave, he turned around to comfort his eldest brother, but unexpectedly his eyes swept across the left side and saw an empty corner.
Zhang Laosan:……? !!!
Zhang Laosan was startled for a moment and stood up unconsciously.
Sun Tao was disturbed by Zhang Laosan's movement. He looked up at Zhang Laosan who was in a daze and asked, "What happened?"
Zhang Laosan pointed to the corner across the street and said in a surprised tone, "Boss, the person is gone."
The man and woman he had just seen suddenly disappeared without a trace.
But only the little servant boy went out, and the couple did not do anything.
Sun Tao looked in the direction of Zhang Laosan's finger. Although he was not as surprised as Zhang Laosan, it was obvious that the expression on his face was much more serious.
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Sun Tao said in a deep voice.
Zhang Laosan nodded and shook his head, "I saw it clearly before, but later,"
He didn't finish his words, but Sun Tao could understand that the matter of the little book boy had diverted their attention.
During that period, Zhang Laosan really had no time to pay attention to the situation in the corner.
When he discovered the problem, Zhang Laosan himself became panicked.
It was true that Fu Hengyan and Shen Yao brought him a lot of oppression. No matter what the reason was for his attention, Zhang Laosan cared about both of them very much.
Sun Tao's expression turned ugly, because of the conversation between the two people, the people who were originally resting around them also opened their eyes one after another and asked each other about the current situation.
"Hey! Maybe they left secretly and we didn't notice it.
Big brother, third brother, it's almost dawn outside, it's time to get ready to leave."
Qian Yue, the second in command in the team, who was below Sun Tao, spoke first.
Regardless of whether Qian Yue thought so in his heart, the words he said openly did a good job of stabilizing the chaotic environment around him.
Everyone began to focus on the coming dawn.
At this moment, a weak male voice suddenly floated out from the corner, "Well, well, excuse me, I wonder where He'er has gone? Why, why can't I see He'er?"
Sun Tao and others turned their heads and saw a frail scholar with hunched shoulders and a weak face.
It seems that his name is Zhounian, an ordinary scholar in Yueyun City. His family has a little property, which can barely support Zhounian's studies and calligraphy.
This time he and his two servants would stay overnight in the temple because Zhounian would be returning later than planned from his travels, and household affairs were temporarily being taken care of by the old servant, so Zhounian needed to rush back as soon as possible to handle the chores.
The He'er mentioned by Zhounian is one of the two servants brought along this time.
The other one is called He'er. He is quieter than He'er, has a lower presence, and is basically not noticed.
"He'er? Is he the boy with a boyish hairstyle and dressed in linen?
I went to the toilet outside the palace. It took me some time to get back. "
Zhang Laosan tilted his head and looked outside the hall. He could still hear the sound of light rain in the gray sky.
"out?"
Zhounian's expression was slightly frightened, and he grabbed the Hen'er beside him in fear, and the master and servant huddled together tightly.
Seeing this, Sun Tao didn't understand what the two were doing, so he just told them to go and check it out if they were worried, as they didn't have time to meddle in other people's business.
Zhounian shook his head repeatedly, "No, no need. If He'er can come back, then come back. If not, then forget it."
He wouldn't go anyway. It's so dangerous outside and he values his life very much.
"Tsk, coward!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
"..."
Amid the noise, the other two groups of people also opened their eyes and woke up.
The empty hall became lively, and Zhang Laosan and others were not the only ones who noticed the disappearance of Fu Hengyan and Shen Yao.
"Brother, there is no one. I used the array stone to test it, but there was no movement."
The sturdy man holding a long knife walked around and then expressed his opinion to the leader in a muffled voice.
The clean and tidy corner has become messy, with straw flying everywhere.
It can be seen that the strong man had a bad temper and did not hold back much strength when he attacked.
Inside the right side, a young man came out from the middle of the prepared carriage with a solemn look on his face. He held a folding fan in his hand, with a big word "Chu" printed on the front of it.
Looking unkindly at the group of burly men in the center of the hall who were looking around, the young man raised his eyebrows and moved the corners of his mouth towards the air around him. Ripples like a water curtain appeared, and an old man walked over.
The old man's strength at the peak of foundation building made everyone in the hall look at him with awe.
The new masters added a subtle atmosphere to the hall.
"boy"
The old man bowed respectfully to the young man, then walked up to stand behind him.
Undoubtedly, this old man with profound cultivation is on the young man's side.
The tense atmosphere became explosive. Everyone stood there looking at each other, and tacitly, no one took the next step.
"Chengqi, are you going to take action?"
Shen Yao rested her hand on Fu Hengyan's shoulder and leaned her forehead against him naturally.
The two people, one standing and the other sitting, looked like conjoined twins, very close to each other.
Especially the place where they were, which was where they had been resting and recuperating.
Even the straw, which had looked a little messy earlier, now lay neatly on the ground.
There was no such chaos as everyone had seen before. Everything was just a simple illusion.
Fu Hengyan used the illusion stone he brought with him to make suggestive changes to the surrounding environment.
It was just a subtle cause and effect, and before anyone knew it, no one noticed that the two of them were still in the hall.
Even the hidden Jindan-stage servant thought they had left long ago.
Shen Yao stood up, put her hands behind her back, and looked around with her beautiful eyes.
"It's almost there, but I'm sure I'll lose."
Fu Hengyan walked to Shen Yao, his amber eyes calm and gentle.
Shen Yao didn't look back, but just nodded in agreement with Fu Hengyan's words, "Is Chengqi going to take action?"
The situation on the field is changing rapidly.
At first, there was no movement between them, but then they started fighting.
I don't know who started the fight first. By the time I reacted, everyone was already in chaos. Except for their own people, everyone they saw was the enemy.
Bang—squeak—
With a burst of sparks and lightning, Zhang Laosan used the axe in his hand to block the long sword that was coming towards him.
Swords and axes clashed, their knuckles were numb, and behind each of them were two long, hideous faces.
The man leaned back, his body being pressed down by the long knife, and a trace of bright red blood appeared on the corner of Zhang Laosan's mouth.
With a "spit" sound, Zhang Laosan increased the strength in his hands, turned around and chopped forward.
Zhang Laosan struggled hard to break free from the restraints and took a deep breath.
"Third brother, watch out behind you!"
The long sword flashed with light and slashed towards him with great momentum.
Zhang Laosan narrowly avoided the attack, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
It was only when Qian Yue saw this and reached out to grab some that he was able to steady himself.
"Phew! Second brother, our luck is bad this time. I'm afraid we can't escape."
Zhang Laosan gave a bitter smile, all he saw was hell on earth.
There were broken limbs and debris everywhere, and at his feet there were shadows of familiar people.
Wiping his face with his backhand, Zhang Laosan shook his head and sighed, feeling that he was really unlucky this time.
Who could have thought that the people they would run into this time were the Thirteen Knife Bandits who were once famous in Luoxing.
Didn’t it say that the imperial court and the Tianjian Sect had wiped them out a few years ago?
How come these people are still alive? Could it be that the imperial court and the Tianjian sect left some of them alive?
Just when Zhang Laosan was thinking about all sorts of things, another bandit with a long knife came rushing over.
Helplessly, Zhang Laosan could only cheer himself up, grit his teeth and swing his axe to meet the enemy head-on.
