Chapter 239: Meeting a Celestial Master in the Store
The muscles on my face trembled, I took a step back and sneered: "Mrs. Jin, please respect yourself!"
Chunlan stopped, her body trembling violently, and finally she squatted on the ground and started crying.
She couldn't tell me how much she wanted to live with me in the sunshine, how much she longed to live happily with me like a normal couple, raising children.
However, when she really got a human body, she found that she was getting further and further away from the life she wanted...
"Qin Jian, I'm going back today. I didn't expect you to forgive me when I came here. I'm sorry..." Chunlan stood up and walked slowly towards the door.
I watched her back disappear outside the door, my heart was filled with complicated emotions, and I felt like I wanted to cry without tears.
"Let's go, it will be quiet now that everyone is gone."
I have to say that this incident was a serious blow to me, but I quickly tried to get out of the bad mood, because what awaited me would be a more severe test.
When I returned to the house, Caihua and the other three were already waiting.
"Brother Qin, Du Chunlan should go away. You shouldn't see this woman again. What the hell." Caihua frowned and cursed.
I raised my hand, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it, forget about it, don't mention this woman again in the future."
Ma Tiexin patted me on the shoulder and said: "This is like Lao Qin. How can a man be stumped by a mere woman?"
Xiang Yumeng said nothing. Every word he said now was afraid of arousing my sensitivity. After all, his little sister had also hurt me so deeply.
"Lao Xiang, tell me, it's time for us brothers to part ways." Ma Tiexin sighed.
I frowned and said, "Parting ways, what do you mean?"
"I've been staying in Nangou City for a while. Qin Jian is a brother, so I won't hide it. Lao Ma and I plan to visit the four southern cities." Xiang Yumeng said.
"That's right, this guy is a businessman. As a businessman, it's natural to get bigger and bigger. Don't you think so, Lao Qin?" Ma Tiexin said with a smile.
There is no banquet in the world that never ends. Ma Tiexin and I met by chance, and Xiang Yumeng originally came to the underworld to make a fortune. Although in a short period of time, we have developed a deep brotherhood, I have no right to ask them to take risks with me.
Go to Black Wind City in danger of life and death.
The four of them said goodbye for a while, then the horse headed south towards the two of them. After resting for a few days, Caihua and I left the city and headed for the Desert of Death.
After passing through the Death Desert, you can reach Guifang City in the south of Guifang Grassland. After leaving Guifang City and entering the north of the grassland, you can reach Black Wind City.
At this moment, Black Wind City may be in danger, and may have even changed hands. War is like this, it can change in an instant, especially when the Lord has sent additional barbarian and animal soldiers to attack the city. In the case of lack of supplies, the Heavenly Master does not know what to do.
How long can the soldiers hold out?
When I left the city, most of my body had recovered, and this was all due to the power of water veins. If I had suffered such a serious injury before, I would probably not have been able to recover so quickly in more than a month.
About a hundred miles away from Nangou City, you can vaguely see a market, which is cold and monotonous. Except for some camel caravans, it is almost impossible to see people from the Xuanmen or shady shepherds or ghosts.
"Brother Qin, this is Baiyang Town, the last stop between Nangou City and the Desert of Death. Once you leave here, you will reach the vast desert of death." Caihua pointed at the vast, boundless desert in the distance.
After opening the water veins, in my eyes, the underworld is not much different from the mortal world, except that the climate is a bit colder. However, as soon as I entered Baiyang Town, I felt a rare heat blowing on my face, and the heat waves mixed with the smell of sand were still turbid.
The smell of death and blood is hidden, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Baiyang Town is not what it used to be. When the north and the south were unified, there were endless caravans traveling across the desert from north to south. Now it is controlled by the Lord, and all merchants going north are prohibited." Caihua said.
"Good boy, it seems that you are quite familiar with the underworld. Since they are banned, what happened to these people?" I pointed to a caravan in the yellow sand in the distance and asked.
Caihua smiled and said: "These are merchants fleeing from the north to the south. These are all big merchants in the world. We are on wartime alert now. The status of merchants is relatively popular. Neither Shangjun nor Zhong Tianshi will deal with them easily."
The merchants are taking action, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of Xiang Yumeng. On the contrary, those two boys are probably having a drink with the city lord in some city at the moment, and they are not eating yellow sand here like us."
"Okay, let's rest here for a while, replenish enough supplies, and prepare to go north." I thought for a while and said.
If we go directly north, we will be stopped by the sergeants from Baiyang Town. Caihua and I’s plan is to go around to the south of the desert, wait until the defense is loosened, and then turn north.
Caihua and I walked into Baiyang Town. The town is not big, but there are five hundred elite Yin soldiers stationed there, which shows that the Lord attaches great importance to every checkpoint.
"Boy, please bring two jars of fine wine, plus some high-quality ambergris." Caihua walked into a small shop, patted the table, and greeted the boy.
Because it is a bitter cold place, the merchants' stay is short, so only incense and wine are served here.
More importantly, the fragrance is easier to carry than ordinary dry food.
"Sir, please take your time," the waiter said, bringing the wine and incense.
"Xiao Er, go and prepare two hundred more incense sticks for me. Money is not an issue." Caihua said.
The waiter was surprised and said: "Sir, why did you buy so much incense? Are you going to go into the desert?"
Caihua was a little annoyed, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just prepare to go."
Seeing his fierce look, the waiter dared to ask more questions and hurriedly went to prepare.
While we were drinking, a man with a stubble on his face, wearing a thick robe and holding a wine bowl, sat down at our table and said, "If you don't mind asking for a drink, please."
As he said that, he picked up the wine jar on the table, poured a bowl, and after finishing it, he looked around and said, "You two are going to Black Wind City."
"If you are selling information, you can be exempted." I smiled and raised the wine bowl and said.
The man's eyes flashed and he said: "I don't sell information. You two are ghosts and humans just like me. The only people who dare to go to Baiyang Town are businessmen, but you are not businessmen. If I am not wrong, you are from the north."
"Brother, you are so brave. Are you afraid of losing your head if you dare to mention the north at this time?" Caihua sneered.
The man stood up and said proudly: "You two don't have to go to Black Wind City. Don't look at the situation. They won't be able to defeat Black Wind City in a short time. I already know the purpose of you two coming here."
, but you have more important things to do right now."
This man spoke in an extremely arrogant tone, and he instantly saw through Caihua and I's intentions, and even vaguely knew our true identities, which surprised both of us.
"Who are you?" I looked at him suspiciously.
He didn't answer me, but raised his hand and walked upstairs. Caihua and I nodded to each other and followed.
When he got upstairs, the man's body changed, and suddenly he was filled with golden light, and he regained his appearance as Zhong Kui in a red robe.
"It turns out to be Master Zhong!" I said in surprise.
Zhong Kui raised his hand and motioned for us to sit down and said, "It's a fact that Black Wind City is in a tight situation. I'd like to hear you tell this Heavenly Master what you two think. I came here from Huangquan to meet you two."
After a pause, Zhong Kui continued: "Firstly, it will save you two the pain of trekking. Secondly, the battle has not yet reached its peak, and both sides are secretly accumulating strength. From this point of view, the Black Dragon Army is far more powerful than the Heavenly Master."
The government must be fully prepared.”
"What are the instructions from the Heavenly Master?" I asked.
Zhong Kui said: "Now that the Lord controls the key points of the Yangjian, what the Northern Army lacks most is supplies and soldiers. With the outbreak of the war and the operation of traitors, the output of the Yinsi workshop in the north has been running low, but it is not enough at the moment.
So as to become a fatal threat. What you two have to do is to cut off the Lord's minions, hands and feet in the world, and when the time is right, you can cooperate with our Northern Army inside and outside to attack the Black Dragon Army."
"How to cut it off?" Cauliflower asked.
Zhong Kui said: "In addition to the Jin family and some other families, the largest black source of the Lord's supplies in the world is the ghost market. What you have to do is to cut off the private operations of some big families of the Jin family, and then develop
Shang Li is stocking up on supplies. I know that the boy from the Xiang family has something to do with you, so he should be able to help you with this. The most important thing is to destroy the operation of the ghost market."
"Doesn't the ghost market operate independently? What does it have to do with the Lord?" I frowned.
"The man behind the ghost market is Shangjun. It is difficult to destroy the killer union. You must activate the power of Xuanmen. This will be a test for you." Zhong Kui said.
"Secondly, the most important point is to immediately stop Hei Wuchang's actions in the Yang world and control the underworld. This can not only cut off the Lord's constant source of soldiers, but also the most important point is to maintain the stability of the aura in the human world. If this continues
, if Hei Wuchang is allowed to randomly take lives, and the hostility in the world surges, King Wei's seal may be broken in advance, and then there will be a catastrophe for the entire Yin and Yang realms." Zhong Kui said.
I realized the seriousness of the matter. To put it bluntly, the Underworld is the base camp and the backstage of the human world. Now that the Underworld is in war and the King of Wei is reborn, once the Underworld collapses, hundreds of ghosts will inevitably run rampant in the human world, and the world will be completely destroyed.
I can even imagine the tragedy of countless evil ghosts pouring into the metropolis, and the entire land of China becoming a "ghost world".
"Yeah, I understand." I nodded.
If you want to keep the Yang Realm, you must maintain the Yin Realm. No wonder the successive kings of Yan and King Guang of Qin have communicated with each other. There is a leader of the Xuanmen and a leader of the Yin Division. If the two of them conspire, if Yin and Yang are stable, the world will be stable.
"Master Zhong Tianshi, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. With the Yin Division in such chaos, where is King Qin Guang?" I expressed the doubt that had been in my heart for a long time.
Zhong Kui sighed and said: "King Guang of Qin has disappeared for a long time. Even Di Ting can't tell where he went. Since the Lord dares to rebel, I guess that King Guang is..."
Hearing his tone, Caihua and I were both shocked and had an ominous premonition in our hearts. King Qin Guang was afraid that he had been poisoned by the Lord.
King Guang is a god, and he has been guarding the underworld for a long time. Even he was harmed. You can imagine how many powerful masters there are around the Lord who has never met him.
