When he arrived at "Xuan City" after a long journey, Jiang Mingchen was even more confused.
Outside the city of "Xuancheng", there are criss-crossing fields, and there is a wilderness, without the slightest shadow of desert.
Is this the "Xuancheng" in the desert merchant population, or the "Xuancheng" in other periods?
Jiang Mingchen was full of doubts, and when he reached the city gate, he was stopped by someone.
"Identity token?" a guard asked.
Jiang Mingchen didn't know what it was, and he didn't see other people take it out. He only saw those people handing over a money bag to the guards when they entered the city.
"Without a status jade badge, it's not like you can't enter the city..."
Seeing that Jiang Mingchen remained silent, the guard immediately understood, "Seeing that you are still a child, you should only honor the two spirit beads."
In Jiang Mingchen's Qiankun ring, there is everything that one could expect, but the problem is that he has nothing on him now.
When he was still in the desert, he just couldn't get anything out of it. When he became a child, not only did his clothes change, but even the Qiankun Ring suddenly disappeared.
"No?"
The guard's face was gloomy immediately, and he waved his hand to drive away, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
Then he turned to his companion at the side and said, "It looks like your lips are red and your teeth are white, so I thought it was someone from some family."
The companion heard the words, echoed a few words, and then put the matter behind him.
However, among the crowd entering the city, someone sneaked a few glances at Jiang Mingchen, and after entering the city, they hurried into a house.
"I saw a child just now. He was dressed in commoner clothes, but he was exceptionally transparent. It seemed that he was not ordinary, and he was afraid that he might have spiritual roots."
The owner of the house didn't take it seriously, "Are there not many children with spiritual roots among the big families in Xuancheng? What's so rare?"
"That kid is penniless and doesn't have a jade badge, so he doesn't look like a local..."
This answer aroused the interest of the owner of the house.
"If that's the case, you shouldn't be looking for me, but..."
"Don't worry, someone has been sent to follow up."
The dagger was hot again, Jiang Mingchen knew there was someone behind him without turning his head.
As he walked forward, the two also walked; when he stopped, the two also stopped.The distance between the two sides has always been kept at about [-] meters.
About half a mile away, there were no people around.
The two finally bared their fangs and blocked Jiang Mingchen one after the other.
"Little baby, which family are you from?"
The person standing in front of Jiang Mingchen asked, "Wandering around the suburbs alone calmly, I think you look like a demon cultivator!"
Jiang Mingchen stared up at him, clenched the dagger in his hand.
The two looked at each other, feeling that Jiang Mingchen was petrified.
Seeing that Jiang Mingchen was born in a very good condition, with a powerful aura, they were overjoyed.
As long as they catch a child with spiritual roots, they can make a lot of money!
"If you are not a demon cultivator, follow us back and check carefully!"
The man was about to grab Jiang Mingchen's shoulder, but he missed it the next moment.
Before he could react, Jiang Mingchen stabbed his thigh with a knife, causing him to scream in pain.
Seeing this, the people behind him rushed to help, trying to restrain Jiang Mingchen.
However, the dagger was extremely hot, and with Jiang Mingchen he slashed left and slashed right, leaving the two of them covered in cuts and bruises.
Two big, powerful men were actually threatened by a kid with a knife?
Jiang Mingchen didn't have time to care what they thought, and went straight to the point, and asked that there was actually a den of human traffickers in Xuancheng, who transported "goods" by ship.
They specialize in abducting children, especially children with good looks. Most of these children have spiritual roots and can be sold for a good price.
However, even if you don't have spiritual roots, it doesn't matter. If you are good-looking, you can still make a steady profit if you sell it to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.
"Tell me, is the living sacrifice true or false?!"
The dagger was pressed against a person's abdomen, Jiang Mingchen asked coldly.
"We really don't know! How could the immortal master tell a mortal about such a thing?"
Jiang Mingchen questioned another person, but the answer was still the same.
They don't know the time, place, or person.
Jiang Mingchen pondered carefully and felt that the two of them were not lying.
Although they are physically strong, they have no cultivation, otherwise they would not be easily checked and balanced.
How could an ordinary person like this know the inside story of the matter?
However, the Immortal Master does have a real person, and it seems that the living sacrifice should also have a real thing.
After Jiang Mingchen realized that he could no longer extract any useful information, he cut off the money bags of the two of them, turned around and left in a swaggering manner.
The two harbored hatred in their hearts, but they didn't dare to chase after him for revenge. They could only watch Jiang Mingchen go away, and then supported each other and limped towards Xuancheng.
I don't know if "Hongyunmen" knows about the traffickers...
Jiang Mingchen thought while walking, felt vaguely uneasy, and decided not to enter Xuancheng for the time being.
Just in case of accidents, he marked the route and left a "message" for the monk.
At the same time, the two men also returned to Xuancheng to return to their orders.
"Trash! Being hurt like this by a child!"
"Boss, it's not that we are incompetent, it's just that the brat is not like a mortal, I'm afraid..."
One of them hastily defended himself, for fear of being blamed.
"That's troublesome, if there is someone behind him..."
The obedient person narrowed his eyes slightly and touched his chin, "You can bring a few more people and go with Lao Jiu."
Hearing this, the two were overjoyed, and felt that the opportunity for revenge had come!
As a result, as soon as I thought about it, I was stared at and reminded: "Don't be arrogant, it's a baby, if there is a slight flaw, it's worthless! Understand?"
"..." The two felt aggrieved, but they could only accept it.
*
It was already dark, and Jiang Mingchen was resting in a desolate place.
Along the way, he left signs for help from the three sects of "Tianxuanzong", "Ziyangzong" and "Xuanguangzong".
After thinking about it, I finally added the password of "Xu's family".
Except for "Tianxuanzong", the other codes were all suddenly remembered by him in a flash of inspiration.
Jiang Mingchen was not surprised, he just thought it was the memory of the original body.
Right now, he doesn't intend to sit still.
At this time, he has no spiritual power and no cultivation base, but he has spiritual roots and can practice again.
It is indeed impossible to break through the foundation building in a short time, but there is no problem in reaching the stage of refining gas.
For several days in succession, Jiang Mingchen pleaded for help in secret words while concentrating on his cultivation. In just three days, he became a Qi refining cultivator again.
After a day of practice, Jiang Mingchen deliberately found a small lake to take a bath. When the water came out, he found that the dagger had been touched.
He quickly gathered his clothes, picked up the dagger, looked at it carefully, and looked around, feeling that no one had been there.
"You moved it yourself?"
Because there was a precedent, Jiang Mingchen poked the dagger, thinking it was possible.
However, the dagger doesn't respond.
Jiang Mingchen had no choice but to hang it on his waist.
At this moment, five men walked by not far away, three of them carrying a bag each.
While there is no sound, individual bags wiggle a few times.
Jiang Mingchen guessed that he was abducting the child again, but he didn't act rashly, he just followed from a distance, wanting to find out the details.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be tired after running for a while, he threw the bag on his shoulder to the ground and got up to rest on the spot.
One of them said: "These three children, if they don't have spiritual roots, wouldn't it be a waste of time to carry them for so long? The next batch of cargo ships will arrive in five days. Isn't this a waste of time for us?"
"The fifth one is right. Second brother, you are a Qi-refining cultivator, you can activate the magic weapon, why don't you test their spiritual roots first?"
As he spoke, the man tore open a pocket and dragged out the child inside.
The leading man nodded, and took off something from his waist, which looked like a crystal.
Jiang Mingchen recognized that this thing is indeed a magical tool for testing spiritual roots, it was very popular thousands of years ago, and just a drop of blood is enough to know the result.
It's just that this kind of magic weapon has long been eliminated by the times, but no serious sect will use it, and think it's cheap.
The sharp blade cut through the child's fingertips, and despite the screams, the man pressed his fingers on the magic weapon.
As a result, there was no movement in the magic weapon, and it was obvious that there was no spiritual root.
"unlucky!"
The child was thrown heavily to the ground, and the moment he cried out, someone stepped on his mouth.
"Little brat, cry again and kill you!"
Seeing this, Jiang Mingchen subconsciously clenched his dagger tightly.The dagger suddenly became hot, which seemed to remind him to calm down.
"This one doesn't have spiritual roots either!"
Another child was thrown to the ground and kicked several times.
When the third child was also found to have no spiritual roots, the men were extremely angry and started punching and kicking.
Children without spiritual roots, as long as their faces are not injured, they can do anything else.
If you continue to fight like this, you will be beaten to death!
Jiang Mingchen gritted his teeth and rushed out.
After discovering the visitor, several men looked at each other, and two of them would guard the child, while the other three confronted Jiang Mingchen.
"I spared your life earlier, but I was too soft!" Looking at one of the "acquaintances", Jiang Mingchen said coldly.
A little kid, pretending to be cold, not to mention how ridiculous.
The other two burst out laughing, "Is this the brat who hit you?"
"He's weird, be careful, don't capsize the boat!"
"Don't worry, it's just a small bastard."
In a blink of an eye, the laughing two were dragged away like dead dogs, while the "acquaintance" had one leg broken, and fled forward crying.
The two guarding the child were not strong in battle, and they surrendered directly at this time...
Jiang Mingchen found hemp ropes on them, tied them up and tied them together.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
The three children were lying on the ground, crying heartbreakingly.
Two of the children can barely get up, but the other child is already as angry as a spring.
Jiang Mingchen felt a little uncomfortable, regretting that he came out late.
He clearly has the ability to subdue this group of people, why did he look forward and backward, and didn't stand up until the last moment?
"You'll be fine, hold on, I'll go to the city to find a doctor right away..."
Jiang Mingchen coaxed the three children, and his gaze fell on the most seriously injured child.
This child was the first child whose face was stepped on. At this time, his face was swollen and his lips were black and purple. He looked really scary.
Jiang Mingchen didn't panic, squatted on the ground, and patiently checked the child's injuries.
Right now, he misses the missing Qiankun Ring very much.
As long as he has it, he can activate his spiritual power, take out the elixir, and save the child's life.
The child on the ground opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingchen lowered his head considerately, and moved his ear to his mouth.
The next moment, the dagger at his waist suddenly trembled.
Jiang Mingchen felt that something was wrong, and immediately leaned back to avoid the sneak attack.
However, there was still a smug smile on the other party's face.
"you……"
Just as Jiang Mingchen was about to make a sound, he suddenly felt the world spinning, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness again...
*
"Brother Nine, you are the best! You are covered in poison. If this kid touches you, he will be unconscious sooner or later. However, this brat is wild enough, why don't we get rid of his hands and feet first?"
"Want to avenge private revenge? Let me tell you, this kid can't move for the time being."
"Then at least disarm?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
The man picked up the dagger, glanced at it, and thought it was nothing special, so he threw it to the other party, "Take it."
"Then what about these two children? Solve it on the spot?"
"...Take it back first. If it doesn't work, sell it to the City Lord's Mansion. I heard that the young master killed a few servants."
Before the few people left, they handled the place properly, as if nothing happened.
Until a group of monks passed by and found the code left by the roadside.
"Brother, is this the mark of our Tianxuanzong? But it seems that the details are a little different..."
"Let me see."
Upon hearing this, the leading monk walked to the side of the road and checked carefully, "I thought I was in a hurry, so I didn't remember everything. However, this is a distress signal, and ordinary people will not leave it at will."
Afterwards, according to the code, he translated it word by word to everyone, "It said that there were people abducting and selling children near Xuancheng, preparing for living sacrifices, and monks might be involved. It also said... There are dens in Xuancheng."
"How is it possible? Xuancheng is the boundary of Hongyunmen!"
Some people questioned the authenticity of the information and thought it was a joke.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, since it is a distress signal, we must investigate it."
Since monks were involved, the team leader was worried that the opponent's tree would have deep roots, so he released a paper crane in the direction of the sect...
Outside the city of "Xuancheng", there are criss-crossing fields, and there is a wilderness, without the slightest shadow of desert.
Is this the "Xuancheng" in the desert merchant population, or the "Xuancheng" in other periods?
Jiang Mingchen was full of doubts, and when he reached the city gate, he was stopped by someone.
