Chapter 268 The people of Xizhou

Zhang Ying flew in the sky, and he found that not only the earth was extremely angry, but also the "anger" in people's hearts was extremely strong. The people here were talking at first, but then they fisted and beat up, and it was common for them to curse.

People in this place are irritable and prone to liver fire.

After flying west for a few days, Zhang Ying took out the double notes to pass the message to Xu Zhenru.

"Hello, hello, is there anyone here? Xu Zhenru, are you here?" Zhang Ying tried to send a voice to Xu Zhenru.

After a long time, Zhang Ying received no response. This should not be within the communication distance. Zhang Ying put away the notes and continued to fly forward.

After flying for a while, he suddenly saw a huge lake on the ground. The huge lake was still steaming, forming a smog-filled look.

Zhang Ying glanced at it and said in his heart: "Isn't this a hot spring? No, such a big lake, should it be said to be a Wen Lake?"

Zhang Ying had never seen such a large hot spring lake before. He flew to the lake and reached out to touch the lake water.

"So hot!" Zhang Ying's hand slashed the lake. The temperature of the lake was extremely high. If you guessed correctly, the lake should have 80 to 90 degrees, which is a real hot water lake.

After playing with hot water, his palms were scalded red by hot water. Zhang Yingcai took his hands out of the lake water. This temperature would not hurt a monk like Zhang Ying.

At such a high temperature, a large amount of water vapor will naturally rise. It is understandable that the smoke is so smog here.

At this moment, a sound of camel bells came from the mist. Soon, a young man holding a camel appeared in the thick mist. There were four large kettles on the camel's back. It was obvious that the young man came to the lake to fetch water.

Zhang Ying was in thick fog, and the young man did not notice Zhang Ying for a while. He came to the waterside, first took out a few eggs from his arms and put them in the lake, then asked the camel to kneel down, began to take a large scoop of water from his hunchback, and began to scoop the lake water into a large kettle.

Although it took a lot of time to scoop water, the boy obviously didn't have the strength to carry a large kettle and fetch water directly. While scooping water, he hummed an unknown tune. The camel knelt quietly on the ground, listening to the boy's incomplete tune.

"This boy." Zhang Ying finally spoke and took a few steps out of the thick fog.

"Who?!" The young man was shocked, threw the water scoop, and immediately pulled out a scimitar from the middle of the kettle.

Zhang Ying walked out with Chi Chao, and when the young man saw Zhang Ying carrying a tiger, he secretly cried out in his heart, and was ready to escape, hoping that the heavy fog could cover his body.

Zhang Ying gently mobilized his magic power, and a whirlwind rose from his feet. The whirlwind rolled up more than ten feet of water mist around him, revealing a foggy-free area of ​​more than ten feet.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person. I'm just a monk passing by. Seeing this lake interesting, come down and take a look." Zhang Ying spread his hands and said that he had no malice. If there is malice, why is this mere boy another opponent of a monk?

The boy also figured it out. He put away the scimitar. It would be useless for a monk to deal with him.

"Hello, Master Cultivator!" The young man bowed to Zhang Ying and continued, "I am a resident nearby, my name is Huang Tianhu. I wonder what's wrong with calling me?"

Your incomplete tone makes me feel irritated. Zhang Ying thought so in his heart. But he did not say so, but asked: "Do you come here to get water for irrigation?"

The boy shook his head and said, "No, this water is for drinking. This water is too hot and cannot irrigate the crops. But it is excellent for drinking. Since drinking this water, there have been fewer people in our village who are sick."

That's of course. Do you think drinking more hot water is a joke? The temperature here is 80 to 90 degrees, and the bacteria and viruses inside are killed.

Of course, people here don’t know this principle. They just simply summarize from reality that drinking water here is not easy to get sick, and they think it is the reason for the water.

The boy then sighed: "It is also thanks to God who gave us this big lake and gave us magical lake water."

"God gave it?" Zhang Ying asked.

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, my father said that when he was ten years old, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky, and a big pit was smashed into the ground. The huge rock was as high as a hill. But the next day, the stone disappeared again, and my father said he saw the huge rock flying away."

Huge stones smashed through the ground, and many cracks appeared underground. Lava and groundwater took the opportunity to pour in, which formed this hot water lake with extremely high temperatures.

This is just a strange story for the young man, but for Zhang Ying, it is an important clue.

Feishiguan has indeed come to Xizhou! This is the evidence.

After chatting with the boy for a few more words, the boy didn't know more details. When Zhang Ying was happy, she gave him a Pill of Vitality. Then she flew away with Chi Chao.

The young man held the vital energy pill in his hand and muttered: "Sure enough, meeting a monk is either a blessing or a disaster. This time he met a good monk."

After flying to the sky, Bai Yu flew back soon. The bird had just wanted to catch fish in the hot water lake. Now she was wondering, how could there be no fish in this huge lake?

Although Bai Yu has wisdom, it does not mean that she has common sense. There are fish in her mind where there is water. But she never cares whether this hydration is suitable for fish to survive.

Although Bai Yu was a little unhappy when he didn't catch the fish, he still stood quietly on Zhang Ying's shoulder.

Continue to fly west. After a few more days, Zhang Ying took out the notes to send a message to Xu Zhenru.

"Fellow Daoist Xu? Are you here? I am Zhang Ying." After waiting for a while, Zhang Ying thought that no one answered this time, a happy voice came out of the notes.

"It's you Zhang Ying?! Are you in Xizhou? Why are you here? Where are you now?"

A series of questions showed Xu Zhenru's uneasy heart.

Zhang Ying also replied: "I don't know where I am. By the way, there is a city below, so I'll go and ask about the way."

"Okay, don't walk around if you ask for your way out. I'll come to find you!" Xu Zhenru said excitedly.

After the two of them finished speaking, they stopped transmitting their messages. Zhang Ying fell down to the sky to ask for directions.

On the other side, Xu Zhenru excitedly grabbed Wan Long's neck and said, "It's Zhang Ying, he's here to find me!"

Wan Long was pinched by seven inches of fate, and he laughed and said, "That's great. Can you let me go first!"

Xu Zhenru let go of Wanlong and then began to search for her own space of heaven and earth. Where is her rouge powder?

Wan Long swam away quickly. He came to the window, outside the window was a mountain with flames. Xu Zhenru's room was a house built on a stone pillar, and under the house was flowing magma.

Looking around, there are many such stone pillars. There is a fiery red hall on the largest stone pillar, and there are several big words "Malachian Temple" written at the entrance of the hall.

There is a red iron chain connection between the stone pillars, and many monks also fly between the stone pillars.

On the other side, Zhang Ying landed beside the city on the ground. There were a few big words 'Huangye City' written on the city gate. He took out the notes and said to Xu Zhenru: "The city I am in is called Huangye City."

A voice came from the opposite side and said, "Yellow Ye City, right? I've been there. Just wait for me in the city. I'll be there in a few days."

Zhang Ying put away the notes and walked into Huangye City. Unlike other cities, the most important thing about this city is the eight wells distributed in the city. There are people guarding each well. It is free to get water, and the well will be closed after night. This is to prevent others from poisoning.

There are many bandits in Xizhou, and robbing the entire city by poisoning has not happened. So generally speaking, people guard the wells.

Apart from the well, there are high city walls. The villages and towns in Haizhou have no city walls because there is no need. And there must be city walls here because there will be bandits siege and robbers. Protecting a city wall is better than protecting a city wall.

Zhang Ying brought Chi Chao into the city. Although the soldiers guarding the gate glanced at him, they did not stop him from entering the city.

The roads with rammed loess and gray houses and streets. There is a lack of green here, but there is a kind of roughness and vastness. Passersby are all moving forward with knives, and even children have a small dagger.

Because the weather is hot, the most shops here buy and sell drinks, and the wine is sold coldly. You can often see three or five big men sitting at the square table at the door chatting and joking with the cold rice wine. Of course, it is common to start fighting as you talk.

Usually after a fight, the two sides of the fight will help each other with bruised noses and swollen faces, and then continue to drink.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying was thinking. Their anger was taken away. The anger of these people came quickly and dissipated quickly. Because someone was operating these anger.

Because of the power of the soul, Zhang Ying can feel this change now. Needless to say, the only monks can draw others' anger.

But he walked around the city but did not find any temples here.

Without a temple, how can these monks absorb their anger? The emotional energy of a person is decayed very seriously. After dozens of miles, these emotional energy almost disappeared completely.

Zhang Ying shook her head, not knowing how these monks did it.

After searching around the street, Zhang Ying found a good inn and stayed in.

No waiter came to greet him, only a fat aunt waved to him behind the counter.

Zhang Ying led the Chi Chao forward. The aunt asked, "Live in a hotel?"

Zhang Ying nodded.

"You must abide by the rules when staying in a hotel. You must compensate according to the price for broken things. If you don't want to compensate, go outside to make a purchase. There is hot water in the kitchen, which can be supplied at any time. There is ingredients in the kitchen, which can be supplied at any time."

Zhang Ying was confused when he heard this rule. He said, "What does this mean? Do you want me to get the hot water?"

The fat aunt looked at him and said, "It's not a local. This is what it is. The waiter and his husband often go out to fight, so they may not be able to greet you. It's better to do it yourself than to wait for them to come."

"Also, it's okay to support tigers to fight, but if you hurt and eat people, you have to take full responsibility." The aunt glanced at Chi Chao and said.

One man and one tiger have no magical powers, and their cultivation level is not revealed. This aunt cannot tell that one man and one tiger are a mid-stage cultivator in the foundation building stage. At most, she thinks that Zhang Ying is a young monk. Who would stay in the inn for a serious and high-level monk?

At this time, Bai Yu flew in from outside. She landed on Zhang Ying's shoulder and gently combed her feathers.

The aunt frowned and said, "Why are you a tiger and a bird? There are so many animals that require extra money."

Hearing this, Chi Chao had no reaction, Bai Yu was unhappy. She spread her wings and threatened to "gugu" a few times, and then waited for Chi Chao to translate.

Chi Chao didn't want to scare this ordinary person. He now regarded himself as an ordinary tiger and ignored Bai Yu. Bai Yu was anxious and jumped on Chi Chao's head and started to yell "gurgle".

At this time, two big men came in outside the door. As soon as the big man entered the door, he heard the aunt say sarcastically: "Oh, isn't this my chef and waiter? Are you back from the fight?"

When the two men heard this, one of them rushed into the kitchen with lightning speed, while the other one might be a waiter. He could only laugh and say, "Sister, brother is in trouble. I'm going to help you. My brother-in-law is also anxious to be honest."

‘Bang!’ The fat aunt suddenly slapped at the table, glared at her eyes, and cursed: “Stop giving me a smile! I’ve been going to fight, are you still doing this business? You two are either fighting or on the way to fight. Do you want to drink the northwest wind?"

At this moment, the fat aunt was full of momentum, and the man was sprayed with a low head.

No matter how wild a man is outside, he will be scolded by the tigress at home.

"Why are you still standing there? You haven't taken the guests to the guest room." Finally, the fat aunt roared angrily, and the man hurriedly said to Zhang Ying: "Please take you here, guests, I'll take you up."

After leaving a few steps, Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Is that person your sister?"

The man nodded and said, "No, my dear sister."

"So that cook is your brother-in-law?" Zhang Ying asked again.

The man nodded.

Oh, this is a family business. The boss is the shopkeeper, the boss is the boss, and the younger brother is the waiter.

When he brought Zhang Ying into the guest room, the waiter said skillfully: "Hot water is available in the kitchen, morning and evening, never stopping. If I am not here, I will ask you to pick it up in person. Don't open this window, sometimes stones and bricks will fly. Even if you don't have these things, the outside will be gray."

"And don't fight in the inn. No matter whether you win or lose, you have to compensate for the damaged things. There is no need. I really can't help it, just fight on the street."

He glanced at Chichao and continued, "When I was young, I also raised a dog to help fight. Later, when I was raising it, the dog turned into a demon and then ran away! I'm so kind to it."

"But I still don't recommend taking tigers to fight. Tigers are not responsible for their actions and can easily cause death. Last time, Erlangzi on the street next door raised a lion to kill people, and now he has run away with the lion. I don't know where to become a bandit."

He thought for a while and said, "Maybe he will be wiped out by some monk now."

Zhang Ying laughed a little as he listened to his nagging words. This waiter was quite familiar with him.

Zhang Ying took out a small piece of silver for him, and he widened his eyes and asked, "What do customers want to buy? If it is for a meal, the money will be calculated together at the time of checkout."

Zhang Ying smiled and said, "If you don't buy anything, you just like you and give you a reward. Then give it."
