The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

"There's a tree with a twisting shape, the whole body is pitch black, covered with snake patterns, and its leaves are like awns." Du Wen stared at the "Grass and Tree Illustrated Book" in his hand, and said, "No mistake, the one you picked up is snake pattern wood, but Avoid rodents."

Qi Zhao carefully buried the soil in the flowerpot, and nodded upon hearing that, yes, practical.

Du Wen put down the book in his hand: "But you have to be careful recently, don't go out at night, and don't pick up anything and come back. Many strangers have come to the city recently, so it's not peaceful."

"What happened?"

"The city lord of Wanjing City, Xie Shen, made a breakthrough half a year ago. He went out to cross the thunder tribulation a few days ago. Suddenly, there was no news. It was rumored that he had fallen, so many people got the idea of ​​Wanjing City and gathered here."

The Desolate City is located between the seven cities, the closest to the Evening View City, uncontrolled and flouting the rules, it is the most suitable place.

"I'll be careful." Qi Zhao added the last bit of soil and washed his hands, "Speaking of which, why didn't you go to Yuecang today?"

Du Wen sniffed: "Let's go now, the dead profiteer must have no good intentions to let me go there."

He stood up, waved his hand at Qi Zhao weakly, turned around and walked out, his back had a feeling of seeing death as home.

Qi Zhao sent him out with a smile, and carried the snake-grain wood to the window sill to bask in the sun. Today's weather is not bad, and the snake-like patterns on the wood are very clear in the sunlight. It's not weird, but has a kind of classical elegance.

The flowers and plants in the store showed great enthusiasm for the new friends.

"Hi, how are you!"

"Your leaves look so beautiful, and the pattern is also beautiful, will it bloom?"

"Welcome to Qi Zhaozhao's home, I'm Huohuo, what's your name?"

"What kind of species are you? The color of the snakewood I've seen before is not as good as yours."

"why do not you talk?"

"..."

The Nightmare Flower closest to Qi Zhao rubbed his hand with its petals: "Qi Zhaozhao, can't it talk?"

Qi Zhao was also very surprised about this, the plants and trees he had seen before could communicate with him no matter whether they contained spiritual power or not, only this serpentine wood was different, it had not made a sound since last night.

"Maybe it's because its injury hasn't healed yet," Qi Zhao said.

Scarlet Fire Grass disagreed: "At the beginning we were all seriously injured and were picked up by you. It looks much more serious than it, but we can also talk."

The other Lingzhi shook the leaves to express their agreement.

Qi Zhao has nothing to do with them: "Then you can't bully it, you have to get along well, you know?"

"Good!"

The grass and trees happily agreed.

Qi Zhao smiled, bent down and picked up the shower on the floor. Just as it was filled with water, the rattan bell hanging on the door behind him suddenly jingled a few times.

He turned his head, and there was a young man with gentle eyebrows standing at the door, with smile lines in the corners of his eyes when he laughed, and asked, "Is that Mr. Qi Zhaoqi?"

Qi Zhao naturally has a good impression of people who love to laugh, and nodded: "I am, what's the matter?"

The young man clasped his hands to show his intention of coming: "Xie Qing, I am in charge of the City Lord's Mansion of Wanjing City. Today I came here at the order of the City Lord to invite Mr. Qi to settle in Wanjing City."

As he spoke, he took out a pitch-black wooden sign from his pocket, with the word [Evening Scene] engraved on it.

Qi Zhao was stunned.

Among the seven cities in the floating life world, living in any city is probably what everyone in the barren city hopes for, because it means a more stable life and stronger protection.

But Qi Zhao is not among them.

First of all, he was completely stranger to the owner of Wanjing City, and he was still a small person, so this happened inexplicably.

Secondly, Du Wen was the only acquaintance he knew, if he entered Wanjing City, it would not be so easy to meet Du Wen.

Seeing that Qi Zhao wanted to refuse, Xie Qing continued: "If Mr. Qi hesitates because of the recent rumors, then you can rest assured that they are all rumors. The city lord returned to the city in the early morning, and the first thing he ordered was to invite you into the city. .”

"If Mr. Qi is willing to move in, Wanjing City will donate the shop as a Lingzhi shop, exempt from taxes and land rent, and give documents to your friends, so it will be convenient for you to visit in the future."

The conditions are indeed attractive.

Qi Zhao thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I appreciate this kindness, but I am quite satisfied with my current life, so I don't need to trouble you."

Xie Qing was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, and said: "Since this is the case, I can't force it, but Mr. Qi should think about it again, and I will do it again later."

Qi Zhao nodded and sent Xie Qing out.

He didn't take this matter too seriously, and when he came back, he watered the flowers and plants in the store, and when he watered the snakewood on the window sill, he suddenly felt that its luster was much duller than before.

He picked up the flower pot and took a closer look, and found that it was not an illusion.

Is this a relapse of the injury?

Snake Wenmu was seriously injured, most of the veins in his body were broken when he was picked up by Qi Zhao last night.A broken Lingzhi meridian may seem powerless to others, but Qi Zhao is different. From the first time he picked up a seriously injured Lingzhi, he discovered that he had the ability to repair Lingzhi's meridian inexplicably.

According to the setting of "The First Birth of the Great Dao", even the protagonist Chi Mu only realized the restoration of veins after he was promoted to the ninth rank of spiritual planter.

Qi Zhao went upstairs with the flower pot in his arms, and stretched out his hand to cover the wooden body. A ball of warm light appeared in his palm. After walking up and down the wood grain for a week, it gradually faded away. When the light ball completely dissipated, Qi Zhao withdrew his hand. , the branches and leaves of the snakewood have regained their luster.

Qi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."

Restoring veins is a labor-intensive task. He was a little tired. He lay on the pillow and looked at the patterns on the snake-grained wood. He couldn't help but touch it: "It's so beautiful, can you really not talk?"

The serpentine tree didn't make a sound, but the leaves trembled, as if shy.

Qi Zhao was happy, touched it again, and comforted him: "It's okay, I will take care of you no matter whether you can talk or not, and you have to make yourself better as soon as possible."

The serpentine leaf bent down and touched his hand, Qi Zhao put his arms around the flower pot: "Okay, sleep with me for a while, I didn't sleep all night to take care of you last night, I was a little sleepy."

He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. The snakewood branches and leaves surrounded by him stood there stiffly. After a long time, he stretched out a leaf and tentatively touched Qi Zhao's cheek. The luster suddenly became brighter.

……

Originally planned to sleep for at least an hour, but I never thought about it, but I didn't even get enough sleep for a stick of incense.

He was awakened by a sudden loud noise downstairs.

The flowerpot by the bed shook, Qi Zhao quickly stabilized it, walked to the entrance of the building and glanced down, saw that the door of the store downstairs had been broken into pieces, Lin Huan stood in the pieces, staring greedily at the red man in the corner. fire grass.

"Uncle Lin, what are you doing?!"

Lin Huan turned his head and looked over with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qi, this red fire grass is a matter of life and death to me, and I hope you can cut it off."

"The rules in my store are something that everyone in the barren city knows." Qi Zhao said, "As long as you can afford the price and Ling Zhi is willing to go with you, then I will naturally not stop it. As for the others, Du Wen also said earlier I can't break the rules, I hope Uncle Lin will forgive me."

Lin Huan sneered, the deliberate camouflage of gentleness on his face completely disappeared, and he was too lazy to do superficial tricks, his voice was sinister.

"Don't think I don't know, you and Duwen didn't intend to sell it to me from the beginning, are you kidding me? Since it's useless to say it anyway, don't blame me, this red fire grass, I'm going to order it today !"

As he said that, he moved to the side, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind him, staring at him.

These people are dressed differently from the barren city. They are obviously the strangers Du Wen mentioned in the morning. They are used to desperadoes and will not get along well. Lin Huan is colluding with them now, and it is obvious that he has already made plans , just waiting to completely tear your face apart.

Qi Zhao frowned and took a step back: "You have to think about it, you can't afford to offend Duwen and Yuecang."

A bit of disdain appeared on Lin Huan's face: "Du Wen is just a low-level magic stick, do you really think I'm afraid of him? As for Yue Cang, when the red fire grass is in hand, it's not necessarily that no one can't offend anyone, and you don't have to." Time delay, go!"

More than a dozen people quickly surrounded him, and at the same time, Lingzhi stretched out vines to protect Qi Zhao inside, and the attacking plants and trees glowed with a faint light. rolled over.

These people obviously did a lot of plundering and plundering, and they were not afraid of being overjoyed. Apart from Ling Zhi, they also had Qi Zhao's idea.Almost all the spiritual planters in the floating life world have been recruited by various forces. It is very difficult for ordinary people like them to find one. Now it is rare to find a single one. If he is controlled, he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

The attack coincidentally fell in Qi Zhao's direction, leaving burn marks on the vines around his body.

Most of the Lingzhi in the store were picked up by Qi Zhao when they were seriously injured. After a short recovery, they gradually became unable to hold on, and trembled slightly. Seeing this, Lin Huan's eyes flashed, and he said to the person he brought. With a gesture, the attack suddenly concentrated on the left side, and the vine had no choice but to divide the right side.

At this moment, Lin Huan smiled triumphantly, jumped forward and tore away the sparse vines on the right side, and stretched towards Qi Zhao with his hands clasped into claws.

There was no way for Qi Zhao to escape, he subconsciously bent down to protect the snake wood in his hand, closed his eyes, and then only heard the exclamation of the plants and trees in his ears, and the breeze brushed his cheeks, but the expected pain did not It came, but the tip of the nose was a little itchy.

He opened his eyes, and saw a tall and straight figure standing in front of him, with a terrific aura, and the tail of his hair floated with the air around him, slowly brushing against the tip of his nose.

The man pinched Lin Huan's throat with one hand and made him half-kneel on the ground. Those who came with him were also restrained by thirteen youths who looked exactly the same. Immediately, the leader stepped forward and held Lin Huan After knocking unconscious with those people, they were taken down together.

Well-trained, come and go without a trace.

Qi Zhao was a little dazed, the flowers and plants in the store were already discussing in a low voice.

"Am I not mistaken? That's the Thirteen Guards of Wanjing City? Isn't it!"

"Yes yes yes! There is also the one on the side, who seems to be Xie Qing, the chief steward of the city lord's mansion who has been here before."

"The thirteen guards and the chief steward are here, wait, if this is the case, is the man in black in the middle Xie Shen, the city lord of Wanjing City? Ahhh, Xie Shen! Live Xie Shen!"

Qi Zhao was taken aback.

The man had already walked to the window sill at some point, his fingers lightly touching the stone surface, and from Qi Zhao's perspective, he could only see a pair of well-articulated hands.

Xie Qing walked in front of him with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not too late, Mr. Qi is all right."

Qi Zhao regained his senses and nodded, and suddenly heard Du Wen's urgent voice behind him: "Qi Zhao!"

When he turned his head, Du Wen ran over with a face of panic, and gasped after stopping: "I've heard about Lin Huan, how are you?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Qi Zhao said.

Du Wen was dubious, looked him up and down, and was completely relieved after making sure that nothing happened, and looked towards Xie Qing.

Xie Qing still smiled: "This fellow Taoist, Xie Qing, came to invite Mr. Qi to live in Wanjing City at the order of the Lord of Wanjing City. I have already come here once before and was rejected. This time I still want to ask Mr. Qi what he means. , It happened to happen to such a thing, and it was God's will."

After all, he looked at Qi Zhao: "Mr. Qi, have you considered it?"

Actually Qi Zhao still didn't want to go, just as he was about to continue to refuse, his sleeve was pulled by Du Wen.

Du Wen was silent for a while, his lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "You... you better go."

Qi Zhao looked at him.

He lowered his voice: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty. The deserted city is too chaotic, and there are many people who use everything. I used to think that we were enough to deter them, but I didn't expect people to move when the city was in chaos. Thinking about it, and watching... such things will only happen more and more in the barren city in the future. I also know a little about the character of Wanjing City Lord, this is your best choice."

After all, Du Wen raised his head and looked directly at Xie Qing: "Thank you, Guanshi, Qi Zhao agreed to this matter."

Xie Qing cast a questioning look.

Qi Zhao didn't speak, but bowed his head in silence for a while under Du Wen's urging eyes, and finally nodded.

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked behind the man in black who hadn't spoken a word, and said respectfully: "City Lord, Mr. Qi has accepted."

The man in front of the window sill turned around slowly, and the moment he saw his appearance clearly, Qi Zhao couldn't help being startled.

The man looked about in his twenties, wearing a robe with black cuffs embroidered with golden branch patterns. He was very young, but his aura should not be underestimated.His eyebrows were long, his eyebrows were deep, and his pupils were as deep as an abyss when he looked at her, which was inexplicably attractive.

Fair complexion, straight nose, thin lips.

Almost perfect looks.

Qi Zhao never thought that one day he would look at a man with eyes that he couldn't turn his eyes away from.

When he was in a daze, the man walked over slowly, looked down at Qi Zhao, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Qi Zhao, I'm Xie Shen."

Really Xie Shen...

Qi Zhao thought about it, and then heard him say to Xie Qing, "Get settled as soon as possible."

Qi Zhao didn't expect this city lord to be so resolute, and before he could open his mouth, the Wanjing Thirteen Guards who had gone out before reappeared, quickly packed the things in the store, and Du Wen followed to help.

Qi Zhao: "..."

Xie Qing stood in front of him, smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Qi, a carriage has been prepared outside, please."

Feeling a little complicated for a while.

Qi Zhao suddenly felt that he might have been premeditated and set him on a path of no return, or that he could never regret it even if he died.
