In the Yuanlu world, Pucheng is just an ordinary small town, with a population of more than 100,000. In the Yuanlu world, such a town is more than the sands of the Ganges River. But Pucheng is less than three hundred miles away from the main entrance of Luzong Mountain Gate.
It gives Pucheng an extra layer of sacred and special aura.
Pucheng has hundreds of thousands of residents. For generations, the people in the city have taken care of hundreds of thousands of acres of wetlands and paddy fields around the city, growing the specialty 'purple leaf calamus', a fragrant condiment.
Every year when the purple-leafed calamus matures, the purchasing point set up by the Vinaya Sect in Pucheng will purchase the calamus oil extracted from it at a favorable price. Because of this special spice, the people of Pucheng live a happy life.
At the same time, because it is so close to the Vinaya Sect, almost at the doorstep of the Vinaya Sect, Pucheng's public security has been very good for countless years.
Not picking up lost things on the road, not closing the door at night, these words to describe the peaceful and prosperous times are absolutely appropriate for Pucheng.
However, as the seven full moons in the sky changed, and the Vinaya sect summoned all the disciples who were outside to defend themselves, Pucheng became uneasy. Although no murder cases have been exposed to the public yet, in Pucheng
Among the residents of the city, some bloody and dark legends have begun to spread.
For example, an old man from the east end of the city suddenly killed his little daughter-in-law with a hatchet.
For example, Widow Chen from the south end of the city suddenly died naked in the courtyard with the captain of the legal team patrolling the city.
For example, in the Pucheng city guard's home, an old dog that had been raised for decades suddenly stood up and uttered human words.
Just like the breeze rising from the green grass, the wind is invisible and colorless. But ripples have begun to ripple on the water, and sensitive people can already detect a hint of uneasiness, just like the petrels that live high on the cliffs can sensitively detect the coming of a storm.
At dusk, Yin Xuuge, dressed as a small businessman, slowly walked into Pucheng carrying a big fish basket.
At this time, Pucheng should be very lively with people coming and going. The people of Pucheng are not short of money. Every year they sell the calamus oil extracted from the purple-leaf calamus, which makes them rich and wealthy. Therefore, there is a lot of nightlife in Pucheng.
Colorful and colorful, this is a good time for the senior men of various families to gather in restaurants and have a few drinks and chat.
But when Yin Xuege walked into Pucheng, the few timid guards at the city gate didn't even notice his arrival.
The street was clean, and the cold wind carried a few dry grasses whizzing past, like a group of ghosts spinning in circles on the street. The restaurants, restaurants, and even the brothels on the street were deserted. There were no customers.
.Even the big red lanterns and big teapots hanging at the entrance of the brothel and the turtle slaves forgot to light the big butter candles in the lanterns.
Carrying a two-foot-square fish basket and a monster skin bag filled with two hundred ingots of gold, Yin Xuege, like all small merchants, walked carefully close to the edge of the street and the corner of the wall.
There was the sound of footsteps ahead, and a capable man in crimson uniform came over with dozens of law officers and eunuchs. From a distance, the capable man spotted Yin Xuege at a glance. He immediately asked Yin Xuege
Ge pointed and scolded sharply.
"Where do foreigners come from? What do they do? Whose name is they? How did they come to Pucheng?"
Yin Xuuge's body trembled slightly. He became very ordinary, just like a random pedestrian on the street. There was a hint of fear on his featureless face. He nodded and bowed to the strong man, trembling.
He talked nonchalantly about his origins.
"Xiaomin, I'm from Tiancang City. I'm here to buy calamus roots."
Purple-leaf calamus is a precious spice, and one tael of pressed calamus oil is worth ten taels of gold. Ordinary people cannot afford such a precious spice. But calamus roots ground into powder are also very good spices, and
The powder made by grinding one or two calamus roots only costs three coins of gold. This is a good thing that ordinary wealthy people can occasionally afford a luxury.
Therefore, there is no shortage of small traders like Yin Xuuge in Pucheng. They work in groups or alone, and they all come here with gold and sell three to five hundred kilograms of calamus roots ground into powder for sale.
The capable man looked Yin Xuuge up and down and smiled coldly.
"Buying calamus roots? Hey, I think you are a member of the demon's gang, so I caught you."
Several court servants immediately shook out their chains and rushed towards Yin Xuuge with long knives. Before Yin Xuuge could say anything, a heavy chain of imprisonment made of alloy with a few simple talismans engraved on it was put on him.
on the neck.
The magic talisman on the chain was activated, and the chain, which originally weighed only a tripod, immediately increased its weight several times. Yin Xuege yelled, "Oh," and fell to the ground as soon as his feet went soft. Several of the priests smiled triumphantly.
He stood up, and one of them reached out to grab the monster skin bag on his back.
The capable man smiled reservedly. He led the people to Yin Xuege's side and lowered his head to look down at Yin Xuege, who was lying motionless on the ground.
"It's unlucky for you. Pucheng has had a lot of troubles recently, and we have to explain it to the superiors."
"Some things were not done by you, but they were done by you. Whether you understand it or not, you will die here today."
The capable man confessed that he was the Prime Minister of Pucheng, and the peace and stability of Pucheng was inseparably related to him. These days, he has used means to suppress many sneaky incidents, but some rumors still spread
Come on.
The Vinaya Sect contracted its disciples to defend the mountain gate, but the Vinaya Sect still valued Pucheng, which was very close at hand. The successive incidents in Pucheng put a lot of pressure on him, directly from the top management of the Vinaya Sect.
A scapegoat is indispensable. By killing Yin Xuuge, the unlucky guy who broke into Pucheng in troubled times, at least he can have an excuse to prove that he is still working hard to maintain the peace of Pucheng and is not just eating free rice.
In his opinion, Yin Xuuge was just an unlucky ant that broke into the dead end. He was charged with a crime and killed at will. In this troubled period, who cares?
The narrow four-foot-long sword rubbed against the scabbard and made a low roar.
The capable man slowly pulled out his saber and looked proudly at Yin Xuege, who was lying on the ground with a chain around his neck emitting a faint light.
Yin Xuuge raised his head, looked at the capable man with a gloomy and solemn expression, and sighed helplessly. He spent a lot of effort, and even used Dabai Erbai's innate magical power to conceal the secrets of the sky, and finally arrived in just a few days.
The gate of Luzong Mountain.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to open the door of Daoyan Heavenly Palace according to the method provided by the Nine Spirits Saint Lord, and break in to pick a hundred-life soul-drawing plant.
Why do people always make things so complicated when they are originally very simple things?
"I...is not guilty!"
Yin Xuuge looked at the capable man with a wry smile. He had just stepped into Pucheng and was charged with such a crime. This was too innocent.
What is this? His current cultivation level is comparable to that of an inhuman being who has condensed his soul, and he is confident that the techniques he has comprehended have the best of all the major sects in ancient times, as well as the Taoism taught by the Nine Spirits Saint.
Including the essence, in terms of realm, he should be the first among all humans in the Yuanlu world.
Such a great master was lying on the ground in a cooperative manner. It was a bit too much for this tough man to actually kill people.
"You are guilty. Because I said so."
The capable man smiled lightly in a tone that sounded like a god controlling the life and death of mortals. He swung his long knife and cut off Yin Xuege's neck.
There was a sound of "clang", and many legal officers and legal servants opened their mouths at the same time.
A high-grade magic weapon-level long knife can usually break even a three-foot-thick steel pillar in two, but when the long knife struck Yin Xuege's neck, there was a flash of fire and the long knife broke into pieces?
"What a stiff neck!"
An ignorant priest muttered to himself.
But the vigorous man was so frightened that he trembled all over. This was not a tough neck, it was clearly a terrifying cultivation level.
The powerful man was already a master of the Five Qi Dynasty and the realm of splitting the sky and splitting the earth. He had already seen the threshold of souls in front of him. He slashed at will, and at least thirty dragons were attached to it. Even a mountain was covered by him.
The knife split it open.
But there was no sign of any luck defense on Yin Xuege's neck. His own physical defense alone shattered his long sword.
Turning around, hundreds of acupuncture points on both legs simultaneously let out a dull roar. The capable man howled hysterically, "Run away." Then he ignored his subordinates and ran as fast as he could towards the Luzong Mountain Gate.
go.
With his cultivation level, he could cross a distance of three hundred miles and escape to the gate of Luzong Mountain in just seven or eight breaths.
He would be safe when he arrived in front of the Vinaya Sect. There were countless masters within the Vinaya Sect, and there were even elders from saintly families sitting in charge. As long as he got there, he would be absolutely safe.
Then he felt a pain in his chest. He lowered his head to see something, but he saw nothing.
With a wave of Yin Xue's singer, these legal officers only saw a faint flash of colorful flames, and their immediate superiors were wiped out in ashes.
Standing up slowly and crushing the light chain on his body into pieces, Yin Xuege smiled bitterly and shook his head at the legal officers around him.
"Why bother? I didn't mean any harm."
The fish basket he was holding exploded, absorbing the huge amount of blood essence contained in the dragon bloodline of the Holy Nine Spirits. His body expanded to one foot and eight inches in length. The white scales all over his body were as if carved from crystal, and his body was translucent.
, there were two white jade seeds with sharp angles on the forehead, flying out of the fish basket.
"You don't have any ill intentions, Master Yu does!"
Bai Yuzi roared angrily. He was suffocating in that small fish basket.
Opening his mouth, dozens of thin water lines shot out. These water lines were like living creatures, quickly wrapping around the bodies of these legal officers.
The water line was lightly cut, and the ground was covered with blood and broken limbs. These law officers and legal servants were all killed by Bai Yuzi with one blow. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
