When the night got dark, the two of them got up and left the teahouse. Huang Ziwan walked briskly and didn't know where to go to drink wine.
Sanxiang City is shrouded in hazy light at night.
The Qinghe River surrounds the west of the city, and paper boats carrying candles float on the water, which shows the people's expectations for the New Year.
Because there are so many people on the street, even the coldness brought by winter is dissipated by keeping each other warm.
Ren Qing couldn't help but sigh.
Xiangxiang may not be as prosperous as Jingzhou in the past, but at least it can maintain stability for a long time, and the people have not turned into parasites of Tiandao insects.
Ren Qing quickly returned to the Yamen. The decorations in the Huogong Hall were almost complete, and couplets were hung everywhere.
Bo Feng squatted in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette in his hand, his eyes slightly reminiscing.
For people like him who are over forty, the New Year also represents the gradual approach to death, but it is indeed something that must be experienced.
Unless you can practice immortal magic like those strange people in the Prison Hall.
Bo Feng noticed Ren Qing's figure and quickly stood up to greet him: "Master Ren is back."
He felt that the other party had changed a lot.
A few months ago, he was as sharp as an unsheathed sword, but now he has a more restrained aura, which can easily be ignored by others.
Bo Feng didn't know that apart from the influence of the Immortal in the Mirror, Ren Qing's main reason was to get rid of his impetuousness during the days in the stomach.
Ren Qing's mentality is neither impatient nor impatient.
With the resources of the Jailer Hall and the Wuwei Dojo in hand, not to mention the Yincha Realm, even the Yangshen Realm is just around the corner.
As long as the Netherworld Skill reaches the foundation building stage, you can use the Fire Refining Palace to refine magic weapons.
By then there will be a ghost market to obtain longevity, and there will no longer be a limit to the fifty-year lifespan brought by eating the eyeballs raw.
It can be said that the fish leaps over the dragon's gate.
Ren Qing thought about going to Annan Town after the Chinese New Year, so she focused on relaxing.
He had a premonition in his heart.
As a monk who seeks immortality, the relatives and friends around him will inevitably experience life, old age and death, and the lively Spring Festival will definitely become less and less popular.
On New Year's Eve the next day, Sanxiang City became even more festive.
The bamboo sections that had been dried in advance were placed in the fire and burned, making a crackling sound.
Food preparations are being made all over the city.
The aroma of rice, bamboo, wine...
Ren Qing bought several jars of Zhuerqing to drink on New Year's Eve.
This kind of wine is sealed from the moment the bamboo shoots break the ground, and can be drunk when the bamboo shoots grow into a forest. It has a mellow taste and a unique rice aroma.
When he returned to the courtyard of the Huo Gong Hall, he found that there was a large table inside, filled with all kinds of dishes, and the bamboo greens made it all look great.
Bo Feng and others sat around the big table, bringing their families with them, which showed that they attached great importance to the New Year's Eve, and the main seat was naturally reserved for Ren Qing.
Ren Qing looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you see Xiao Wu?"
Bo Feng frowned slightly and quickly ran to the surrounding rooms to check, but found that Xiao Wu was not found.
Li Mian thought deeply and said, "He should be back soon. He said he would pick up his younger brother Xiao San'er from the martial arts school."
Seeing this, Ren Qing stood up and said, "I'll go out and be back soon."
"Oh, wait..."
Bo Feng just wanted to remind Dongcheng that there were many people there, but Ren Qing disappeared in the blink of an eye after leaving the hospital.
Ren Qing tapped his feet lightly on the ground and walked quickly across the eaves.
As he adapted to the higher terrain, his speed became faster and faster, and it only took a moment to go from the west of the city to the east.
Compared with the prosperous west of the city, the poor east of the city is indeed much more deserted.
Ren Qing used his heavy eyes to scan the street.
Then he noticed a few blindfolded fake Taoist priests. These people mainly read divination and facial expressions, and often stopped people passing by.
There were also gang members in Tsing Yi mingling nearby, and their physical appearance was that they were blind in one eye.
Ren Qing quickly found Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu stood in front of a martial arts gym and wanted to enter, but was stopped by more than a dozen strong men dressed in gangs. However, they were afraid of Xiao Wu's identity as a yamen servant and did not dare to take action.
This martial arts school obviously has a gang background.
Seeing this, Ren Qing walked directly through the strong man and came to Xiao Wu.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Qing, I want to take my brother back, but the martial arts school won't let me, and they also called in many people from the world."
He didn't know the background of the martial arts school, he just wanted his young brother to get in shape.
Ren Qing ignored the gang members and was about to break into the martial arts gym with Xiao Wu, but unexpectedly someone stopped him with his hand.
A tall and thick man came forward. His right eye was covered with black cloth, and he was obviously blind: "I'm sorry, Master Cha, just wait a moment..."
Ren Qing looked at the martial artist and the gang. Although there were no traces of practicing martial arts, his eyes were all damaged.
I'm afraid that the Wumu method is involved, which is the trouble left by Song Rong.
It can be seen that the Jailer Hall has been busy dealing with Zhang Mu's affairs recently, and there are indeed some ghosts and monsters in Sanxiang City.
Ren Qing patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, "You go back first."
Out of trust in Ren Qing, Xiao Wu immediately left the vicinity of the martial arts gym.
The strong man didn't stop him. If it weren't for the request from above, he wouldn't have dared to offend the government officials.
"What's the name of your gang?"
The strong man seemed to be confused by Ren Qing's words, and immediately replied: "He Nihui, the gang leader is Fat Dragon."
Ren Qing nodded after hearing this.
Even though the names of the River Mud Society and the Mud Society are not much different, in fact the latter is a gang recognized by the Jailor Hall, and its nature is completely different.
The River Mud Association was originally an organization founded by boatmen.
Ren Qing recalled the monk he killed during the first battle. The monk mastered the Eyeless Technique and was probably from the River Mud Society.
"Let's go, lead the way."
The strong man walked towards the interior of the martial arts hall on his own without even raising any objection.
They reached their destination quickly.
It was supposed to be a martial arts training ground, and you could see many people coming in and out along the road, but without exception, they all lacked eyeballs.
It must have been eaten as a resource by the practitioners of the blind method.
Ren Qing asked curiously: "The fat dragon in your River Mud Society should like to eat human eyes, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the strong man suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes when he looked at Ren Qing became extremely shocked, as if he was a ferocious beast.
"you……"
The ghost shadow swayed slightly under the light, and then the strong man felt severe pain in his body.
Most of his bones were shattered in an instant, and he coughed a few times and was covered in blood.
The movement attracted the attention of the gang, but they immediately stayed away and looked at a person not far away.
A man in his early thirties walked over quickly. His eyes were still intact, but his forehead was wrapped in rags.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this place is the territory of the River Mud Society?"
The man tore off the rag, and the extra eye made the surrounding gang members tremble, and they did not dare to look directly at him.
Compared with his opponent, Ren Qing's appearance looked more ordinary, and he did not carry a weapon, so his aura was three points weaker.
"You are so brave."
Ren Qing's expression was calm and she didn't even glance at the man.
Just waving his hand, the ghost spread from the ground, making the man seem to have fallen into a deep pit, and his body sank and disappeared.
Everyone in the gang looked extremely panicked when they saw this, but before they could react, they felt an illusion appearing in front of their eyes.
They fell neatly to the ground and fainted.
Ren Qing walked into the central building as if there was no one around, there were only a few people inside.
The fat middle-aged man sitting in the house is Fei Long, the gang leader of the River Mud Society.
There is a porcelain bowl on the wooden table in front of him, with blood remaining in it. It can be seen that not long ago, he was devouring human eyes and practicing the eyeless method.
But what makes Ren Qing strange is that Feilong's body is not completely alienated, with only seven or eight eyes separated from his cheeks.
Depending on the number of eyeballs the opponent has swallowed, at least one can cultivate a hundred eyes.
Gangs that prey on people are strictly prohibited in Sanxiang City.
Fei Long saw that Ren Qing was calm and knocked down all his men. He couldn't help but feel fear and his body trembled.
"Sir, I don't know how we, the Heni Society, will tolerate this."
"You should have recruited apprentices who practiced martial arts before. Where are they being held?"
Feilong slapped himself hard, and he knelt down and begged for mercy and said: "In the backyard, sometimes I can't help but want to eat people's eyes. I really shouldn't..."
The ghost broke away from its body and moved towards the backyard.
After a while, the ghost brought seven or eight boys, all with missing left eyes.
Ren Qing's expression was slightly angry.
Fei Longdan raised his eyes in fear and felt a familiar aura on Ren Qing's body.
He then thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency also practices the Eyeless Dharma. If that's the case..."
Before he could finish his words, Ren Qing's dragon-snake spine came out of his palm and pinned him directly to the wall. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
When I pulled back the Dragon Snake Spine, my brain had turned into mush.
Ren Qing examined Feilong and found a thin black-gray line on his abdomen, from his throat to his stomach.
It reminded him of Zhang Mu's note, the lines on it were somewhat similar.
Is there any relationship between the two?
Ren Qing used Ming Yu to contact the Jailer Hall, and soon a jailer arrived.
The yamen sealed off the area, and the gang members were imprisoned and taken away, usually confiscated for labor.
The visitor's jailer was Xu Shilin, who had worked with Ren Qing in the disaster relief restricted area before, and his technique was related to smoke.
Xu Shilin's eyes were a little complicated, he cupped his fists and said, "I haven't seen Ren Qing for a long time. I heard that you were in the stomach a few days ago?"
"There was no serious alienation to begin with, so it didn't take long for him to come out."
Ren Qing directly admitted that there was no need to hide one's clumsiness in the jailer's hall, and it would be easier to do things.
Xu Shilin was a little shocked by the speed at which Ren Qing's strength improved. It only took half a year at most to go from the Half-Zombie Realm to the Ghost Envoy Realm.
Could this be the Yin difference realm seed?
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ren Qing handed the fat dragon to Xu Shilin and then returned to the Huo Gong Hall. The dishes on the table were still hot.
However, after Bo Feng and others learned about the situation, they had already lost their appetite.
I can only be glad that my mistress's life is safe.
Ren Qing went back to Bazi Village the next day, mainly to bring new year's goods to Chen, and Chen didn't force him to stay for a few days.
Even if you enter the spiritual practice, it does not mean that you have to be too supreme and forget your emotions. Even Wuwei Taoism does not force this.
New Year has just passed.
Ren Qing was notified by Huang Ziwan and was ready to go to Annan Town.
The journey is not a long one, but the Huskies finally have their place.
