change god

It was getting dark outside, maybe it was really too long to eat barbecue and stew, the first vegetarian meal in Zhaorong City made Ye Wujian and Xie Yingzhou very satisfied, eating most of the meal, the only thing that made Xie Yingzhou feel regretful What's more, even though she had ordered the best wine, it still made her feel unremarkable, and she missed the elixir she snatched from the tiger hunter that time.

Drinking the light wine in the glass, Xie Yingzhou looked out the window. This is an ancient city, but the lights on both sides of the street are still bright. Pedestrians are wearing long robes that can only be found in ancient times, and the roads they are walking on are very modern. The dark blue color made Xie Yingzhou feel a little dazed for a moment.

"Sister Wujian, you said before that after Kunlun collapsed, there would be no gods in the world. Are there still lower-level ghosts and gods like Lord Chenghuang who protect the water and soil?" Xie Yingzhou asked curiously, remembering She traveled to an ancient city to perform a mission. At that time, the most famous city in that ancient city was the Temple of the City God. After the mission was over, she went to burn a stick of incense, praying for smooth work or something.

"City God is the god of your world? But in this world, guardian spirits are called guardian spirits. Every town has them, strong or weak, but they are not gods, but are endowed with the ability to protect the local residents by the heaven and earth aura of the place. People generally drive away evil things, ghosts, etc. for ordinary people, but the identity of each guardian spirit is revealed after death, and it is said that if a guardian spirit reveals its secrets to others without authorization, it will be punished by heaven and earth.” Ye Wujian spoke in as much detail as possible to satisfy Xie Yingzhou's curiosity.

"So strange? How did the guardian spirits be selected?"

"I don't know. The guardian spirit must be a native of the local area, and he must not leave the place where he was born and raised throughout his life. The aura of heaven and earth seems to be randomly selected." Speaking of this, Ye Wujian hesitated a little, obviously Even she didn't quite know.

"Ha, I feel that this era is a bit like a dynasty in the history of our world. There is an adjective called Li Beng Le Bad."

Ye Wujian smiled, but didn't speak. These things are too far away, and I can't explain clearly.

"By the way, sister Wujian, is there no curfew here?" This is the first time Xie Yingzhou spent the night in an ancient city after crossing over. There is no sign of closing the shop, and there are still many pedestrians on the road.

"There is a curfew in the imperial capital and some important cities, but there is no curfew in Zhaorong's side. Are you going to visit the night market?" Ye Wujian didn't drink, but poured herself a cup of tea. She ate a lot even though she was full and not interested.

"Yes, I want to change my clothes, so you have to change yours too." After staying in the primeval forest for too long, some parts of the clothes will inevitably be scratched by branches. Although it is harmless, after Xie Yingzhou learned about their spending quota, she felt that it was necessary Get some new clothes for the two of you.

"it is good."

"Miss, are you ready?" At this time, the shopkeeper named Jia Yuan came over, with a smile on his chubby face.

"The food is delicious." Xie Yingzhou smiled and said politely, "Is the guest room ready?"

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm ready, Xiao Wei!" He shouted, and a short and thin waiter came over and greeted Xie Yingzhou and the others warmly.

Xie Yingzhou noticed that the waiter who greeted them this time did not wear a copper chain around his neck.

"Second guest officers, this way please, one of the superior guest rooms has been packed."

The two nodded and followed behind the waiter.

This restaurant has four floors, the first and second floors are for dining, and the third and fourth floors are for people to live in. The shop waiter took Xie Yingzhou and Ye Wujian up to the fourth floor. When going up the stairs, a tall and strong man walked towards him. Xie Yingzhou avoided standing on the side , but that big man deliberately bumped Xie Yingzhou with his shoulder.

"What a dog!! How dare you, a monster, hit your grandfather and me?" The big man complained first, and roared angrily.

Xie Yingzhou didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly, she was never a good person.

"She's human." Ye Wujian also looked at the big man who deliberately caused trouble, his tone was blunt.

"What?! There are still people who look like this, don't make grandpa laugh..." Before he finished speaking, Xie Yingzhou hit the strong man's crotch hard with his knee.

"Aww!——" The brawny man let out a scream, clutching his lower body/body and feeling weak all over.

Xie Yingzhou slowly pulled Ye Wujian aside, and saw the big man rolling straight down the stairs, the people watching from upstairs and downstairs felt chills in their chests, and looked at the man in horror who didn't say much No matter the voice or the appearance, the little girl looks harmless to humans and animals, but she is so vicious when she strikes.

"Let's go." Xie Yingzhou took Ye Wujian's hand and said to the waiter who led the way without even looking at the strong man who fell down the stairs.

"Oh... yes, this way please." The waiter continued to lead the way in front of him in fear.

Arriving in front of a room with D-layer armor hanging, the waiter opened the door, handed the key to Ye Wujian respectfully, and then left with a nod and bow.

"You didn't beat that big man to death just now, did you?" Ye Wujian closed the door and saw that Xie Yingzhou had put down his backpack.

"It was he who provoked me first." Xie Yingzhou looked indifferent, just looked up at the decoration of this room.

Ye Wujian shook his head, and then walked around the room. The room was not big, but it was tidied up.

Behind the screen are two side-by-side beds, with two folded quilts on each, which is considered refreshing.

Pulling out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his sleeve, Ye Wujian made a few strokes on it, although he didn't use any colored things, but an eye faintly appeared on the talisman paper.

Xie Yingzhou just took a look and didn't ask anything, because she also has such a habit, whenever she goes to a strange place, especially a place where she will stay overnight, she always checks first, but she doesn't have Ye Wujian's magic power , can't make this sort of surveillance thing.

There are places where both of them are equally cautious, which saves time for explanation, where they understand each other perfectly.

Ye Wujian pasted the yellow talisman on a place with a wide view in the room, and saw that Xie Yingzhou had already taken inventory of the few travel items left in the backpack.

"Maybe it's not that you have a problem with your nose. There must be some dark secret in Zhaorong City. Just now at the entrance of the inn, I saw a strange rune on the pillar at the entrance." After confirming the safety of the room, Ye Wujian just said.

"What rune?"

"Ordinary houses, in order to prevent any dirty things from running in, will draw some runes to drive away and repel evil spirits at the door, but I just walked all the way and noticed that the runes painted on the door of the houses here are all refusal to photograph. "

"What do you mean by refusal?" This word is a bit strange. Although Xie Yingzhou has learned runes and spells, Xie Yingzhou's contact time is too short, and it will take a long time to catch up with Ye Wujian's level in this aspect.

"The repelling talisman is pushed outward, but the refusal talisman is like this." Ye Wujian clasped his hands together, as if hiding something in the palm of his hand.

"...The people here know 100% that there are evil things that can hurt them outside, and they want to use such runes in fear." Xie Yingzhou immediately understood the difference between the two runes she was talking about through Ye Wujian's analogy .

"Well, they seem to be afraid that something outside will take people away."

"Then I still don't understand why only I can smell the stench, but you can't."

"In short, you have to be careful in the future. Immortal cultivators have often disappeared here, but there should be a secret formation here. Ordinary immortal cultivators don't feel it, but I feel that part of the demonic energy in the body has been suppressed."

"Then will you suddenly become semi-demonized again?"

"It's hard to say."

"Okay, then let's take it one step at a time, and the discussion is over! Let's go buy new clothes." Nothing can stop Xie Yingzhou from wanting to go shopping.

"I'm not going." Said Yinshan Jun who hadn't opened his mouth all this time.

"I'm going, and I'll buy you two sets too!" Xie Yingzhou couldn't help but hugged it up.

Ye Wujian silently followed behind them.

Unable to break free from Xie Yingzhou's arms, Mr. Yinshan could only lie in Xie Yingzhou's arms depressedly.

When he left the inn, he found that it was raining lightly outside. It has just entered summer and the temperature is comfortable. There are not many pedestrians holding umbrellas on the road, but he was worried about Xie Yingzhou who was just injured. Ye Wujian went back to the guest room and took an oiled paper umbrella.

"Should I change my shoes too? After walking on the mountain road for so long, they are seriously worn." Xie Yingzhou looked down at her short boots, then at Ye Wujian's, and found that her boots were much more worn than Ye Wujian's Thinking of how Ye Wujian usually walks, he either walks against the wind or uses "Wugou". No matter how ordinary people compare with Ye Wujian, they look like a complete mortal.

"Okay." The oil-paper umbrella covered the two of them. During the day, the street was a sky-blue slate. At this time, the night was shrouded in darkness, and the street turned dark blue. The rain dripped on it. Flickering, as if walking on the Milky Way, this city, even at night, at any time, has a dreamlike beauty.

Only after staying here for a period of time will you understand how dirty and vicious persecution lies behind this beauty.

"The blue ones are the blood stains? Why can't the rain wash them away?" Just seeing a few children stepping on them, combined with what Ye Wujian told her, Xie Yingzhou guessed where the color of the city came from come.

"It should have been more than 30 years since the Yan appeared in this city. Over the years, there have been countless dead Yan. Their blood may have seeped into the underground of this city, and it cannot be washed away."

"Is the reason why the bottom of the city wall is blue because the blood was splashed when he fell when he was cleaning the city wall?" Although he had already guessed this, Xie Yingzhou asked Ye Wujian to confirm again.

"Yes, they are very fragile, but the number is huge, and I don't know how they appear continuously."

The two chatted quietly, found a nearby clothing store, and went in.

This is the first time for Xie Yingzhou to come to this kind of old clothing store that chooses cloth to make clothes. She is very curious. This clothing store is not big, with white walls and green tiles, a double-layer structure, and a signboard with white characters on a red background standing at the door. There are two large characters of clothing written on it, which are concise and clear. Facing the door of the clothing store, there is a tall red shelf with a few signature fabrics hanging on it, but now because of the rain, those fabrics have been taken away. It got wet, and the boss didn't put it away.

And under the eaves next to the door of the clothing store, there is also a wide stool with colorful cloth on it. Xie Yingzhou touched it and felt that the texture was not as good as what she was wearing. She turned her head and looked into the shop. There were two guests inside at this time, and they were also carefully selecting the cloth.

Xie Yingzhou walked in with Ye Wujian, and the middle-aged shopkeeper in the store greeted the two customers, and immediately came up to them with a wide smile.

"Miss, do you make clothes?"

"Let's see."

Inside the clothing store is a large maroon counter, and there are pieces of cloth standing in the back cabinet, and some cut-out cloth styles are placed on the counter. Xie Yingzhou walked to the counter with interest, and saw that there were also All kinds of cotton thread, silk and so on.

This is a place completely different from modern clothing stores. Xie Yingzhou's mind is full of noble words such as advanced customization, and she secretly thinks it's funny that people who have traveled through the modern world by themselves are like bumpkins here.

"Take the black one down and have a look." Ye Wujian saw the same fabric as the one Xie Yingzhou was wearing, and gestured to the shopkeeper.

Xie Yingzhou, who knew nothing about choosing ancient clothes, handed over the matter to Ye Wujian, who was probably just a little stronger than her, and shifted her eyes to the other two customers in the shop, who seemed to be twins Brother and sister, who are about the same age as Xie Yingzhou, are wearing gray clothes. Although the clothes look clean, they have become a little tattered.

Xie Yingzhou saw that the elder brother among them was touching a piece of gray fabric in his hand with his eyes closed, while the younger sister beside him saw Xie Yingzhou and Ye Wujian walking in, and looked at them curiously.

The younger sister looked at Xie Yingzhou for a moment, with a smile on her face, she made a few dumb words, and pointed to Xie Yingzhou.

Xie Yingzhou didn't understand dumb language, so she just looked at her curiously.

Seeing that Xie Yingzhou didn't understand what she was talking about, the girl slowly turned to one side, and Ye Wujian, who had already noticed the movement on her side, said, "She said you are beautiful."

"Oh~"

Xie Yingzhou imitated the dumb language the girl had just gestured, and gestured back. She was not stupid in the first place, and the girl's gestures were very slow and uncomplicated. She quickly copied them completely and pointed to the girl.

you are beautiful too.

The girl blushed and grabbed one of her brother's hands, trying to hide behind him.

"Why?" The elder brother who was talking to the boss was stunned for a moment and tilted his head.

The girl stroked her brother's hand a few times, and the brother turned his head and nodded slightly to Xie Yingzhou and the others.

Two siblings, one blind and one dumb.

Xie Yingzhou also nodded to them, and got back to business, followed Ye Wujian to choose a few kinds of fabrics, and asked the shopkeeper to make a dress for herself that looked like a lady.Others are still the same as before, after all, no matter what, it is always convenient to wear strong clothes when going out.

Compared with Ye Wujian and herself, Xie Yingzhou is more interested in the style of clothes for Yinshanjun. She really likes Yinshanjun's furry ears and unretractable tail when he becomes a human.

Yin Shanjun was so angry that he couldn't do anything about Xie Yingzhou's bad taste, so he could only walk around anxiously in the clothing store.

Seeing her, the dumb sister knelt down to touch it, Yin Shanjun grinned at her, and hid behind Ye Wujian.

"Children are not allowed to swear." Xie Yingzhou lazily warned it, and Yinshan Jun immediately moved closer to Ye Wujian, who bent down and picked him up. When he arrived at Zhaorang City, he saw Xu There are many human beings, and the various smells of human beings are stimulating Mr. Yinshan all the time, so it has not slowed down until now, and it is always very nervous. After all, it has been living in the virgin forest since its birth. .

When Xie Yingzhou chose the fabric style, the special pair of brothers and sisters had already paid the money and were about to leave. Xie Yingzhou took out the money bag and prepared to pay. She glanced at their backs, only to find that the girl was also looking back at her with a look of love in her eyes. Feeling deeply puzzled and confused, Xie Yingzhou's heart moved.

"What's wrong?" Sensitively aware of something wrong with Xie Yingzhou, Ye Wujian asked immediately. Now she has gradually understood Xie Yingzhou's temperament, knowing that she is a person with very personal thoughts. If she hadn't noticed it herself, maybe Xie Yingzhou was not sure. If you don't, you won't tell yourself anything.

"The siblings may know me, the me before I met you."

After hearing Xie Yingzhou's guess, Ye Wujian was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you want to chase after him?"

"No need. If you want to recognize me, you should take the initiative. If you are destined to meet me in the future, you will meet again." Xie Yingzhou thinks it is better to be cautious in everything.

"Ah."
