Netherworld Immortal

Early the next morning.

Xu Yang, Bai Mujin, and Bai Muhua decided to go to Xijun City.

As cultivators, for the convenience of walking in the rivers and lakes, they usually have a few spare sets of casual clothes. In order not to cause trouble, the three of them changed into ordinary people's clothes.

Xu Yang was dressed in a light green elegant Confucian attire, looking like a gentle and refined son.Bai Hibiscus is wearing a goose-yellow dress, which is not as coquettish and neat as before, but a little more quiet and elegant, but there is a thin white gauze scarf around her cheeks to cover the scars, which adds a bit of mystery.Bai Muhua was wearing a dark blue cloth, the attire of a commoner.

……

A day ago, in a secret room in Beicheng.

"Linghu Xia" was wearing a gray Confucian robe and a light gold elegant scarf on his head, sitting on a large grand master's chair.

Standing in front of him were two of his subordinates, a yellow-faced man and a bearded man.

The yellow-faced man spoke first, "My lord, the previous three intruders have already left the business road, and my subordinates failed to find their traces. Please punish me, my lord."

This result was obviously expected by Linghu Xia, and she did not blame the two of them.

"Forget it, these three people have suffered a bit from me, so they will inevitably be more cautious. Their cultivation bases are all in the cultivation realm, especially the monk named "Xu Yang" among them, who has strange and unpredictable ghost skills. It is also mixed with Buddhist martial arts. We must not let them be used by Dongjun City. It would be very troublesome if they become our opponents. Just in case, you quickly take my handbook and kill the three of them. Send the information back to the spy department in the county, and once it is found that these three people have contact with people in the east county, they must be eliminated at all costs."

After speaking, Linghu Xia took out a written secret letter from his big sleeve.

"Subordinate "Wen Yan" takes orders!"

The yellow-faced man who called himself Wen Yan took the secret letter with both hands, turned and left the room.

The remaining bearded man said: "My lord, just now the "rice merchant" in Beicheng sent someone to report that a few days ago, someone came to Beicheng to investigate the "high-priced rice sale", and it may be someone from "Xijun City". "

"The price of rice is too high, how do the people in Beicheng react?"

"According to your lord's instructions, ordinary people have been called on to donate money and food, and the part of the silver provided by your lord has also been distributed to the people affected by the disaster in Beicheng. It seems that the order is still stable."

"It's just a matter of doing this properly, ensuring that the price of rice remains high, and that the people affected by the disaster in Beicheng will not rebel. Also, you can go around Beicheng and see if there is anyone sent by Dongjuncheng. Secret agents, let them see, just don’t startle the snakes.”

"Subordinate "Wen Yong" takes orders!"

After saying that, he exited the room respectfully, and closed the door behind him.

After the two left, Linghu Xia stood up from the teacher's chair, walked to the side of the coffee table, picked up a cup of tea, but didn't drink it, and fell into a moment of thinking.

……

The three of Xu Yang dressed up casually and came outside the city of Xijun.

The tall city wall made of countless huge right-angled bluestones completely separates the inside and outside of the county into two worlds.A tall tower with a three-story masonry structure stands on the city wall, with a magnificent momentum.The city gate painted with bright red lacquer underneath is open, and a rectangular stone plaque is horizontally above the gate. On the stone plaque, three large gold-plated characters "Xijun City" are engraved, shining brightly in the sun.

Outside the city gate, there were more than 30 well-dressed soldiers, led by two generals, to check the people entering and leaving the county.Every citizen who enters the county will show the pass document issued when he left the city.

Xu Yangjian calmly took out a rectangular white jade plaque from his sleeve.This jade tablet is as white as first snow, exquisitely carved, and the word "county" is engraved on the front.

"This is the jade card that Lu Qingyu gave me before, and it should allow the three of us to enter the county smoothly."

When the three of them came to the city gate, Xu Yang showed his jade plaque.

The soldiers guarding the gate quickly informed the general on duty after seeing the jade tablet.Not long after, a burly general came over to personally verify the jade plaque, without saying a word, he respectfully signaled the three of them to enter the city.

"Thank you!"

Xu Yang collected the jade token, and the three of them entered the county together.

Compared with the previous North City, Xijun City is much more prosperous, and the impact of the drought is hardly visible. Most of the people in the city are well-dressed, and various wine shops and teahouses on both sides of the street are open as usual.

"I didn't expect the jade token Lu Qingyu gave me to be so useful. I think it must have a lot of background." After Bai Muhua finished speaking, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Brother Muhua, is he worried that we will send mutton to the tiger's mouth after we enter the city? I also had doubts about this. From the short time I have been in contact with Lu Qingyu, I can see that this person is not a conservative person, but A courageous person who is good at using all available factors, as long as we don't show an actual threat to her, I believe she will not regard us as enemies." Xu Yang explained.

"It means that this person wants to use us? That's easy to say, we use her contacts to help find out how to leave this world, and it's fair to use each other."

"We have exposed our identities before. If we continue to wander outside, we will at least become the target of "Linghu Xia". It's getting harder."

"After entering the city, just adapt to the situation."

……

According to the location told by "Lu Qingyu" before, the three of them inquired while walking, and came to a teahouse called "Yuhualou" all the way.This building is a two-story wooden building with carved beams and painted columns, which has a bit of ancient charm.The store is located on the street of the county city. Compared with other stores, it is not very big. There are not many people drinking tea, but it is also quiet and tidy.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged shopkeeper with a square face standing behind the counter.

Xu Yang generously showed the jade token again.

The storekeeper saw the jade plate and said with a smile: "It's the lady's distinguished guest, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My name is Chang Man, and I'm the shopkeeper of this teahouse. May I ask that you are Mr. Xu?"

"It turned out to be shopkeeper Chang. Xu Yang is being polite here. These two are friends with me."

"Missy came to inform the younger one in person a few days ago. If Mr. Xu is coming, then go and inform her immediately. The three best guest rooms have been reserved for Mr. Xu and the three of them. You may as well take a rest first."

"May I ask Shopkeeper Chang, what is Miss Lu's status in the county?"

"My lord, you are joking. Miss Lu is the daughter of the city lord of Xijun City. The entire Xijun City is one and the same. This place is Missy's private property, which is very convenient."

"It turned out to be the daughter of the city lord."

"Missy has ordered that if Mr. Xu asks anything, you should tell him truthfully. Although you can rest here at ease, the young lady has been busy with work recently, but she has personally explained that once the young master comes, she will come to meet the wind in person. of."

Shopkeeper Chang personally ran and sent the three of them into the guest room. After saying goodbye, he rushed to report to Lu Qingyu.

……

Early the next morning.

Sure enough, Lu Qingyu came to the "Yuhua Tower" in person.

Wearing a delicate aqua blue dress, people's eyes are bright, with white teeth and bright eyes, a little makeup, the air is like autumn chrysanthemums, the quality is like spring pine, and the natural aristocratic temperament is undoubtedly revealed.

Along with Lu Qingyu, there was also an old doctor with a silver beard under his cheek.

Xu Yang introduced Bai Mujin and Bai Muhua to Lu Qingyu one by one.

"Ms. Hibiscus, Mr. Xu's friend is my friend, it's good to recuperate here."

"thanks for your care"

"This is Mr. Bai." Lu Qingyu greeted with a smile.

Seeing Lu Qingyu's generous greeting to herself, Bai Muhua nodded in embarrassment, while being amazed at her beauty, she felt a little fondness for Lu Qingyu's generous temperament in her heart.

"This is the best doctor Ouyang in the county, let him help Miss Mu Jin take a look."

Doctor Ouyang didn't say much, and followed Lu Qingyu's instructions to carefully show Bai Mujin's burns.

"Although the fire damage to the primordial soul in this girl's body is serious, the girl herself may have practiced some special kung fu method to restore her body. If she also takes internal pills, she will recover within half a month."

"That's good!" Lu Qingyu said.

"Also ask the girl to take off the face scarf and let the old man see the trauma."

Bai Mujin gently took off the scarf, revealing a scar about an inch in size on her right cheek.

Doctor Ouyang looked at it carefully, and then said: "Although the scar is a trauma, the fire poison has already changed the root of the skin. At present, even if it is cured, it may leave a trace. However, I will try my best to help the girl heal .”

"Doctor Lao is here."

Doctor Ouyang took out a small porcelain bottle.

"This is a burn medicine formulated with the best "spirit badger oil", and it has a very good effect on healing burns."

After speaking, he opened the porcelain bottle, took out a little milky white ointment with a wooden spoon, and applied it on Bai Mujin's cheeks.

……

"Doctor Ouyang, you are not allowed to tell anyone else what happened here today, you should step back first." Lu Qingyu said sternly.

"Miss, please don't worry, the old man guarantees with his head that he will not tell anyone what happened today." After answering cautiously, he backed out.

"The three are foreigners. It is inconvenient to walk in the Xiaoxian world. You might as well stay here for a while. Regarding the matter of leaving the Xiaoxian world, I have checked the relevant classics in the past two days, and there is nothing new. Only According to what Sansha said before, we can try our luck after the opening of the formation eyes at the altar of the earth in half a year."

For monks, half a year is just a time for retreat and practice, so the three of them are still full of expectations for the breakthrough in half a year.

"I still have one thing I want to ask the three of you for help." Lu Qingyu said openly.

"please say."

"I must have informed the three of you about my identity, Master Chang. My father is the princess of the west county. Because of the severe drought, there is a war between the east and west. Both sides are actively preparing for war. Yesterday, the envoys sent I just came back from Dongjun City. As a result of the negotiation, the two parties agreed to conduct a fair contest. The winning party will have [-]% of the water source control of the "Tai River", and the losing party will only get [-]% of the water source of the "Tai River". The losing side is tantamount to cutting their own way of life, and in the end both sides will definitely fight to the death in order to survive."

After a pause, he continued: "East County City's plan is that the water source of the "Taihe River" has been controlled by [-]%, and the turmoil and damage caused by the drought will be lighter than that of West County City. The longer the delay, the drought will affect the West County. The more unfavorable the city. Now, in order to prepare for the final decisive battle, Dongjun City has begun to recruit other casual cultivators who were originally hunted down by Confucianism as their mercenaries.

The last time I was intercepted by the "three evil spirits" on the business road, most likely it was instigated by people in Dongjun City.Mr. Xu also has a covenant with the "Three Shas". I want to ask Mr. Xu and the three of them to use this relationship to help me find out how much weight this mercenary hole card in Dongjun City's hand is.Many of these casual cultivators still want to leave here and return to the Northern Territory. Mr. Xu can also take this opportunity to recruit capable people among them to help them break through and leave the Xiaoxian world in half a year. "
