Chapter 212: A trip to the night market in Yunjing, accidentally discovered(1/2)
After a long silence, Shao Ziqian finally couldn't help but speak. He was not deliberately looking for a topic, but seeing that Tang Xiaotian today was really a little abnormal. However, Tang Xiaotian, who had always been cheerful and unscrupulous, now looked a little depressed.
His slightly narrowed eyes emitted a cold light from time to time, and he was obviously calculating something at all times. This was so different, this was not the Tang Xiaotian he knew in the past.
"What have you been through these past few years, and why do you seem so different from before?"
Shao Ziqian's words suddenly rang out in the empty space, which not only successfully interrupted his meditation, but also successfully startled him.
"Brother Ziqian, you are really..."
Tang Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, and after a brief thought, he briefly recounted his recent experiences.
"It's hard to describe what I've experienced these days. My hometown has changed, and people close to me have died, and all of these are related to the Immortality Cult. If they hadn't been doing something secretly, why would this have happened!"
"These dogs!"
After hearing Tang Xiaotian tell the reason, Shao Ziqian didn't say much and just cursed secretly.
...
Leaving aside these two people who have not yet left the alliance, everyone from Jiuhua Academy and Phantom Sect have now arrived in Yunjing City. In a corner of Yunjing City, a flash of light suddenly passed, and two shadows appeared.
Walking out of the void, the two quickly saw their surroundings clearly, looked at each other like a tacit understanding, and disappeared at the same time in a flash.
After learning from the previous lessons, Xu Chenglin directly used the innate fetal-changing technique to change his appearance, while Chen Luoxue used the breath-condensing technique and then pulled out a white hat. The two looked at each other until they met each other.
After finding no flaws, he walked out of hiding with satisfaction.
A few streets away, the two of them had already heard the noise of the night market. After walking for half a cup of tea, the prospect of the night market had appeared in their eyes. A faint light was looming, and as the two approached, the lights
The figure in the figure appeared in their eyes. After being busy for a while, there were still many vendors setting up stalls in the market. And there were more people visiting the night market than Bai. The streets were crowded with people.
If people hadn't consciously persisted, I'm afraid the street vendors would have been overrun by them.
"Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing such a crowded scene, Xu Chenglin was reluctant to get closer. But out of Chen Luoxue's feelings, he still asked for his opinion.
"No way! I don't really like making noise either. Well, maybe we can go around the night market."
Glancing at Xu Chenglin, Chen Luoxue smiled and refused. But thinking that she might be able to collect some useful information around the night market, she finally decided to go and take a look.
"Then it's up to you, we'll just walk around."
Saying this, Xu Chenglin was already a little behind. Since he was following Chen Luoxue to the night market, of course it was better for him to be a little behind. Looking at Xu Chenglin's little movements, Chen Luoxue smiled softly. She no longer deliberately gave in and stepped forward gently.
He took a step forward. After walking around the bustling night market for a while, Chen Luo
The further Xue walked, the more strange she felt. She always felt that the bustling night market was a bit strange, as if there was something missing in it.
"Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
Feeling something inexplicably strange in her heart, Chen Luoxue asked without hesitation.
"strangeness?"
When Chen Luoxue said this, Xu Chenglin started to observe casually. To be honest, he had been distracted just now.
"What you said seems to be true. I always feel that something is missing. Not only the night market is like this, but also Baiyun in Yunjing City. It seems that it is too prosperous."
After touching his chin and thinking carefully, Xu Chenglin gave a plausible answer.
"Excessive prosperity? Have you ever seen beggars in this Yunjing city?"
Chen Luoxue immediately reacted to Xu Chenglin's reminder. It seemed that they had never seen beggars in Yunjing City.
"It seems like there really isn't one!"
Xu Chenglin opened his eyes and immediately realized that there was something wrong with this.
No matter how prosperous the city is, there will inevitably be beggars. But here, they didn't see any. This is interesting, there must be monsters when things go against the norm!
"Let's go! Let's go find out!"
Nodding to Xu Chenglin, Chen Luoxue walked a few steps faster towards the edge.
After looking at some people on the edge, Chen Luoxue walked towards an old man selling candied haws.
"Old man, your candied haws on a stick is so bright, I can't help but want to try it."
Chen Luoxue is not very old, and her voice is crisp and clear after practicing for many years. To the old man's ears, her voice is like the melodious and crisp cry of a lark.
"Hey! Girl, you have such a discerning eye! My candied haws on a stick is made fresh every day, how bright it is. My candied haws on a stick is said to be the best in the night market, I guess no one dares to refute it!"
This old man is also very good at business. When someone praises him, he climbs up the pole.
"That's it! Give me some!"
"okay!"
The old man looked at the straw target carefully, then selected the brightest one and handed it to Chen Luoxue.
"Give me the money quickly!"
Looking back at Xu Chenglin, Chen Luoxue pretended to urge.
"Hey, okay, okay."
Xu Chenglin took two quick steps forward, pretending to take money and wiped it from his clothes. In the dark, his hand flashed and he took out a piece of broken silver from the storage bag.
"Hey! This can't be done! I'm in business, not cheating. I can buy all the candied haws on my straw target with just a piece of silver!"
Seeing the broken silver handed over by Xu Chenglin, the old man quickly declined.
"Don't refuse! This guy is very stingy and it's rare for him to be generous!"
Chen Luoxue chuckled lightly and persuaded the old man to accept the money. Because only by accepting the money could she have the opportunity to inquire about the information.
"I don't have to do it. If others see it, I won't be able to do business in the future."
The old man did not accept the money, but instead hid behind him.
"Then I'll buy all your candied haws!"
Show your honesty
With a smile on his face, Xu Chenglin reached out and put the silver into the old man's hand. At the same time, he took the straw target in the old man's hand into his own hand.
The old man saw that the straw target in his hand disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but be stunned. But then he realized it, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"Okay! Thank you very much, brother."
The old man wiped the money and put it in his arms. He nodded to the two of them and turned away.
"Don't be in such a hurry, old man. We are outsiders and are a little unfamiliar with this. There are some things I would like to ask you about!"
Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Chen Luoxue hurriedly stopped him.
"Oh? What do you want to know, little girl? I have lived in Yunjing City for decades, and I can tell you anything you want to know."
The old man patted his chest, looking confident.
"Hmm~ That's it. I've seen that Yunjing City is very prosperous these days, but I don't seem to have seen a few beggars. The two of us walked all the way from Xijing County to give alms, but we didn't find any beggars anywhere.
?”
Chen Luoxue pretended to be thinking and told her question half-truth and half-falsely.
"Oh, Xijing County is far away, no wonder you don't know. The beggars in Yunjing City and the young and old who have few people to take care of them have all been taken and taken care of by the Changsheng Hall. Speaking of this Changsheng Hall, they are simply living gods. Ordinary people
Diseases that cannot be cured can be cured with medicine in their hands..."
The old man talked about the beggars at first, but he couldn't stop talking about Changsheng Hall.
Seeing that the old man was talking non-stop, Xu Chenglin hurriedly stopped him.
"Old man, did you see those beggars and young and old come out later?"
"Eh? You're really asking this question. It seems like no one has ever come out?"
When asked by Xu Chenglin, the old man was stunned for a moment. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had never seen anyone come out of Changsheng Hall again.
"There are people taking care of them, so why are they running around?"
The old man thought for a moment and just gave this answer.
"Is the Hall of Eternal Life big? Can it accommodate all the beggars in the city and the young and old who have few people to take care of them?"
Xu Chenglin frowned and asked another question.
The old man was stunned when he was asked this question. Because he had never thought about this question. He vaguely felt that Xu Chenglin's questions seemed to want to express something.
"I said, little brother, what exactly do you want to ask?"
The old man frowned and looked at Xu Chenglin with suspicion.
"You're the only one who's troublesome! You're the only one who's troublesome! It's not good for someone to help others out of righteousness. Isn't it possible that everyone in the world is waiting for you to help?"
Pretending to be very angry, Chen Luoxue pushed Xu Chenglin several times. The latter also reacted and stumbled to the side a few times in cooperation.
"Don't worry, old man, this guy is just like that. He always thinks that he is the only one with a good heart, and that everyone else has his own agenda. This guy is always like this, but he actually has a good heart."
Chen Luoxue smiled awkwardly and looked at the old man with some embarrassment.
