One day later, Xuan Ye looked at the majestic city in the distance and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Different from Dongzhou, the major sects occupy the precious land of Lingshan, and the monks are mostly sect leaders, so the general city construction is relatively ordinary. Even the relatively prosperous Yunsheng Mansion is mostly inhabited by civilians.
Yunzhou has a large population but little land, so almost everyone focuses on cultivation. Even the common people on the road may be a monk in the Qi Condensation stage.
Therefore, the cities built in the city are relatively grand. The city walls alone are tens of meters high. There are dozens of mechanical towers on them, which are activated by formations and involve large city defense formations. The defense intensity is much higher than that of ordinary small sects.
.
The city is also divided into two levels, divided into areas where civilians live and areas where monks live.
The most shocking thing is the tall tower in the center of the city. It covers an extremely wide area and can accommodate thousands of people. It is also the residence of the royal family here.
This time, Yuan Wen did not break into it directly, but landed at the city gate.
He still has some feelings for this fiefdom he once owned. In addition, this time, he is not here to kill people, but to see if it is true, as Yan Lin said, that under the rule of the Lin family, the whole country can really live and work in peace and contentment?
Of course, even if this is true, it will not prevent him from overthrowing the Lin family. So another purpose of coming here is to regain the old forces that were once installed in the city.
It's just that two hundred years have passed, and the original leader of the organization must have passed away. In addition, the old dynasty has been destroyed, so I don't know if it can survive.
After the three people disguised themselves, they successfully passed the inspection by the city gate guards.
After stepping into the city, Yuan Wen looked at the street, which was both familiar and unfamiliar. Then he looked up at the tower. The flags had been replaced by a large Chinese character Sichuan.
After staring for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards the civilian area.
Xuan Ye looked at the clothes worn by the people on the road and saw that they were not much different from those in Dongzhou. It might be because the two places were close and their customs and customs were similar.
After wandering around the civilian area for a while, Yuan Wen finally discovered something. There was a special symbol on the flag hanging in a tea shed.
He glanced at the tea maker in the tea shed, frowned deeply, and then felt relieved.
Xuan Ye also followed his gaze and saw the man. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a sallow complexion and a broken arm. He was very skilled in pouring tea, and he must have been doing it for a long time.
As soon as a few people came and sat down in the tea shed, the tea maker came forward and greeted them warmly.
"You gentlemen, what kind of tea would you like? What kind of cakes would you like?"
"Is there a Rongquan?" Yuan Wen said calmly.
"Hey, this gentleman knows how to drink tea. He happened to have a small bag, and that's the price..." The tea maker chuckled, and wiped the table with a white towel in an honest manner.
"I don't mean anything else. It's just a small business. It's really not easy. Please forgive me."
Xuan Ye took out a piece of gold and put it on the table, "Bring a pot and have some refreshments."
The tea maker's eyes suddenly glowed with gold. He picked up the gold and rubbed it on his body. After seeing the luster revealed, he quickly turned around and ran to make tea.
"Master, have you admitted your mistake? I don't think he looks like that person..." Xuan Ye whispered.
Yuan Wen did not answer, but waited quietly. When the tea maker brought the tea to the table, he did not drink it directly, but drew a symbol on the table with the tea.
When the tea maker saw the symbol, his body froze, and the hand holding the basket froze in mid-air.
"Stepping on the snow in the wind." Yuan Wen whispered.
The tea maker was stunned for a moment, looked at Yuan Wen carefully, then put the basket down, but did not answer, but turned back and continued to add firewood and boil water.
Yuan Wen's eyes darkened and he didn't ask any more questions. He took a few sips of tea and said, "This tea is picked from Xinyun Mountain."
The tea maker was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Indeed, only the Rongquan tea there has a slight aroma, and even connoisseurs can't taste it."
Xuan Ye is not so particular. He has been sleeping in the open air recently. He took advantage of the opportunity to quickly eat a few mouthfuls of refreshments and wolfed them down. For those who didn't know better, he thought he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
Jiang Ningyue hadn't eaten serious food for a long time, and she couldn't bear the hunger in her belly, but she looked much more elegant when eating.
"Why shouldn't there be code words?" Yuan Wen asked straight to the point.
The tea maker sighed helplessly, "You're late. Look at what else I can do with my hands. It's better to let me live and linger."
"Hmph, when did Langya's descendants become so spineless? Where are the others?"
The tea maker shook his head, and then showed a wry smile, "Where are there other people? Leader Langya also passed away a hundred years ago, and I am the third generation. As for the other people you mentioned..."
His expression darkened, and he turned to look at the tall tower in the distance. "They are all in that tower, the women are prostitutes, the men are slaves, who knows how many are alive. You are late!"
"
"What's wrong with your arm?" Xuan Ye interjected.
The tea maker's face became even more sad, "Of course it was chopped off, I can't break it off myself."
He poured hot water skillfully, filled it up for them, and then bowed to Yuan Wen. "Don't blame anyone. We also tried to rescue them, but we didn't succeed. We also lost an arm. Wolf Fang
The leader passed down the legacy and vowed to wait for the return of the royal bloodline, but a hundred years ago, the Lin family conducted a thorough investigation of the remaining party members, and all those who deserved to die were dead, and those who were not dead were also taken away."
"In the third generation, there weren't many people left. Until I took over as the little leader and went to rob prisoners with the leader, all of them died. I was also good at fortune telling and didn't show my face, otherwise I would have been killed long ago."
After hearing what the tea maker said, Yuan Wen looked indifferent and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone else locked up in that tower?"
"I don't know. It's best to die, so as not to suffer any torture." The tea maker said sorry and went back to add more firewood and boil water.
After Yuan Wen got the answer, he stood up and left. He didn't have much hope in his heart. Two hundred years is not a long time for the Yuanfu stage, but ordinary monks in the Hunling stage would find it difficult to survive this age.
Nowadays, the situation has changed, and it is reasonable that these people have not survived.
It's just that Lin's attack was so ruthless, he would never be polite. In addition to these forces, he also put down the secret treasure in Xinyun Mountain, and after retrieving it, he went straight to kill the imperial capital!
But before that, this tall tower that once served as his residence cannot be left!
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The tea maker hurried out, looked around, and asked: "Sir, is that high tower in the direction you are going?"
"So what? It has nothing to do with you anymore. Go back and live the rest of your life well." After Yuan Wen finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
"Sir, can you take me with you? I still know some old people, maybe..." The tea maker lowered his head and said solemnly: "I should have died there back then, but the leader risked his life to save me, even though it was only
I am the only one left to complete his old man’s mission!”
Yuan Wen walked forward without looking back and said lightly, "It's up to you."
The tea maker was overjoyed, and he hurriedly chased after me, introducing himself: "My name is Langmu, and what I said before, you must think it's a fart."
Xuan Ye was curious as to why the tea maker's attitude changed so quickly, and when he saw the armor and a bunch of strange things that the other party took out, it seemed that he had already prepared them.
If that's the case, why did you say those words just now in the tea shed?
Several people were walking on the street, quite conspicuous, especially Langmu's armor, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians. After a while, the city guards came to investigate.
Yuan Wen had planned to take action, so he was not polite. With a wave of his hand, his energy spread and he slapped several city guards against the wall. With such strong force, he forced them into the wall, causing them to bleed to death.
"Traitors, traitors! They are coming to Lintian City!" Someone shouted, and the people around him dispersed in a hurry.
"Sir, maybe we need to hurry up, the city guards will be here soon." Langmu reminded.
Yuan Wen responded, opened his hands to gather his spiritual power, wrapped everyone around him, and then flashed straight to the tower.
"Who is it?" As soon as the guard guarding the gate said this, he was pierced by two blasts of energy and died instantly.
Xuan Ye followed him swaggering into the tower and stepped into the courtyard, only to find that the decoration here was extremely luxurious, with flowers and plants matching each other, clear water and cold pools, carved stones and jade, and even the floor was paved with rough jade.
Not to mention the huge pillars that build the tower, shining with golden light, with green tiles and red eaves, and red flags waving. There are two doors, one of which is a flying dragon, and the other is a phoenix. Wherever you look, it is extremely luxurious, but the same
Insufferably vulgar.
Xuan Ye didn't expect that Yuan Wen liked this style before, but judging from his frown, it didn't look like it.
Pushing open the two red doors, the inside of the tower is even more luxurious, dazzling with pearls, with jasper on the ground, gold-encrusted columns, and silk curtains dancing in it.
But in contrast, there was filthy air, wine cans dumped on the floor, and a group of ragged women busy cleaning.
"Lan'er!" Langmu exclaimed and ran away. After taking a few steps, he was knocked to the ground by a sudden whip.
"Where did the beggar come from? Who allowed you to break in here!"
From the silk tent, a woman walked out with a long whip in her hand. She had a charming figure and revealing clothes, just like a brothel girl, twisting her water snake waist in an extremely coquettish way.
But the expression on her face was one of extreme disgust. It wasn't until she saw Yuan Wen that she was slightly startled. She seemed to be attracted by this luxurious temperament and immediately smiled.
"Hey, I'm afraid this isn't who you are? I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but the guard didn't even notify me~"
"Get out!" Yuan Wen shouted in a low voice. The shocked woman took several steps back and turned pale.
The woman gritted her silver teeth and said angrily: "You are so rude. This is Linchuan Palace. Even if you are a member of the royal family, you must be measured when you come here!"
Yuan Wen was too lazy to say anything. The warning was useless, so he immediately took out his golden and jade magic pen and condensed ink out of thin air.
"How dare you!" As soon as the woman spoke, two ink blades rolled past her, and her face immediately froze. Wherever the ink blades passed, two red lines slowly floated, and fine blood flowed out from them, completely killing life.
.
When the servant following the woman saw it, he immediately knelt on the ground and trembled.
Seeing this, Langmu stepped forward, picked up a woman from the pile of servants, and asked with concern: "Lan'er, it's me! I'm Langmu!"
