Most of the people living here are poor, and a few are beggars. Tang Jun is one of them.
When he was young, he broke through the immortal aperture and embarked on the road to seek immortality. Later, he almost died due to a conflict with a cultivator. His Dantian was destroyed and he could no longer cultivate immortality in this life. He was depressed for two years and wandered around in depression all day long.
He became an idle gangster and had to rely on begging to survive most of the time.
Tang Jun has a sister, Tang Yu. Tang Yu has now reached the age of marriage, and her fiancé is a scholar from the slums. Although their family background is average, the two of them are in love and are willing to share joys and sorrows and spend the rest of their lives together.
It should have been a joyful thing for my sister to find her home, but she didn't expect that on the wedding day, the most vicious gangster in the slums targeted Tang Yu and wanted to take Tang Yu as his own. Naturally, he refused, so he rose up to resist.
, he was beaten to a bloody head and his legs were broken. His sister was raped and killed by the gangsters, and the poor scholar also died tragically under the knife of the gangsters. A happy event turned into a funeral.
He wanted to avenge his sister and brother-in-law, but he was powerless. The gangster was also a cultivator. Although he only had the lowest level of cultivation, it was enough to kill him several times. In the City of Divine Shadow, strength symbolizes status, and for the weak,
For him, there is no fairness at all. Therefore, after such a tragic incident, his friends all advised him to hold back his anger, and even his family could only shed tears and endure it silently.
After suffering such great grievance, Tang Jun wanted to commit suicide. But when he thought of his elderly parents, his heart immediately softened. The death of his sister was painful enough for them. If he died too, his parents might not survive.
Go down. He could only cry secretly and force himself to accept this unfair treatment. Until that day...
A plainly dressed man came to him and said he was willing to help. As if Tang Jun had grasped a life-saving straw, he told everything that had happened to him. After hearing this, the man just nodded calmly and said, "I believe everything will eventually end."
It's fair." After saying that, he left quietly.
Two days later, the gangster was killed, and his body was chopped into pieces and dumped at the entrance of the slum. At the same time, Tang Jun was taken to the most luxurious residence in the city, and the man personally treated his injuries. What was amazing was that
, under the man's care, his injuries healed quickly. His broken legs also gradually healed. He burst into tears of gratitude and wanted to repay the man, but the man disappeared without a trace.
It was not until later that he asked around that he learned the man's name - Zhao Ruxun.
In the rich area in the east, Lan Zhen, the head of the Lan family, was frowning. His precious son Lan Doudou fell in love with the daughter of the Yue family, Yue Xin. Yue Xin also fell in love with Lan Doudou.
The two expressed their feelings to each other, but were blocked by Yue Chi, the head of the Yue family.
The Yue family has a great business, and in terms of wealth, it is equivalent to ten Lan families. Although the Lan family is rich, it is only a drop in the bucket compared with the Yue family. Yue Chi does not like the Lan family at all, so she refuses to become an in-law with the Lan family. This is really bad.
After seeing Lan Doudou, the young man became hot-headed and was in the whirlpool of love, unable to extricate himself. He swore that he would only marry Yue Xin in his life. Lan Zhen tried every means to benefit Yue Chi for the sake of his son's marriage, but Yue Chi did not
Moved.
Half a year later, Yue Chi arranged another marriage for Yue Xin. Of course Yue Xin refused, so he threatened her with death. Only then did Yue Chi agree to let go. As long as the Lan family could produce a fourth-grade elixir, Yue Chi would immediately
Agree to her marriage to Lan Doudou.
Lan Zhen bought fourth-grade elixirs at all costs, but how easy is it to buy fourth-grade elixirs? There are no fourth-grade elixirs in the City of Divine Shadow. Moreover, fourth-grade elixirs cannot be bought with gold coins.
The things that arrived were usually exchanged at equal value and bartered. A few months later, Lan Zhen almost went bankrupt and was unable to buy fourth-grade elixirs.
Yuechi didn't want to wait any longer and decided to arrange her daughter's marriage. Lan Doudou was heartbroken after learning about it and wanted to commit suicide on the spot. Lan Zhen quickly stopped her, saying that she could think of another way and that the matter was not desperate yet.
When he was in despair, he thought of someone who might be able to bring him hope.
This person's name is Zhao Ruxun.
What kind of person is Zhao Ruxun?
Some people say that he is a great philanthropist who can help the world. No matter he is poor or rich, he will give generously and help with all his money. Some people say that he is the most famous spirit gatherer in the five major cities, and his spirit gathering skills are at their peak.
There is no one who can rival him in this world. Some people say that he is a big businessman who throws away tens of thousands of dollars. Some people say that he is a cultivator who kills decisively... Zhao Ruxun seems to be different in everyone's mouth, and no one really understands him.
.His whereabouts are erratic and he has no fixed residence. It is extremely difficult to meet him.
"What's so difficult about this?" The honest monk looked confident, his eyes full of confidence.
Qianyu asked: "Dead monk, are you sure you are not lying to me?"
The two of them were walking on the bustling street, and the endless flow of pedestrians showed the lively atmosphere of the City of Shadows.
The honest monk smiled and said: "Don't worry, monks don't lie." After saying that, he took Qianyu to the most famous Spring Tower in the city...
"Why did you bring me here? Zhao Ruxun lives here?" Qianyu's mind was filled with questions.
"No, no, no." The honest monk seemed to be a regular visitor here. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by two girls dressed very sparingly. "Before you do anything, you have to have fun and relax."
"Alas." Qianyu sighed in frustration. Qianyu left Chunlou and wanted to find a place to have breakfast. Just as he walked to a bun shop, a little girl in dirty clothes suddenly walked towards him.
Come here. This girl is about ten years old, with a round face and big eyes, messy hair, and her face is red and purple, as if she hasn't bathed for many days. You can smell it from a distance.
"Hey, can you buy me two meat buns?" The girl's dirty hands pulled Qianyu's white sleeves, leaving five black fingerprints on the sleeves. Coupled with the girl's attitude when she spoke, Qianyu
Yu felt a little unhappy, but the other person was a child after all. He did not get angry, but asked: "What is your name? As long as you tell me your name, I will treat you to meat buns."
"Just buy it if you are told, stop talking nonsense!" The girl was grumpy, pointed at Qianyu and shouted loudly. "My brother is the strongest person on this street, his name is Zhao Ruxun!"
"Zhao Ruxun?" Qianyu couldn't help but be startled when he heard the familiar name.
"Huh, are you scared? If you are scared, buy me meat buns quickly. Be careful and I will ask my brother to deal with you." The little girl became more aggressive. Qian Yu laughed angrily and said, "Let him do it, I will be there."
This is waiting."
"That's what you said! Just stand still and I'll call my brother!" As she said that, the little girl suddenly reached out and stole a few buns from the bun shop, then ran away like crazy.
Although the little girl was fast, it was nothing in Qianyu's eyes. He was about to chase the little girl, but his hand was grabbed by the bun shop owner: "Sir, the money for this bun..."
"Damn it..." Qianyu muttered to himself bitterly, then paid for the buns for the little girl and said, "If she encounters me again, I will definitely teach her a lesson..."
"Hey, sir, don't worry. The little girl's parents died early, and no one cares about her. She lives with the gangsters on the street, and her behavior is all learned from the gangsters." After the boss of the bun shop received the money,
Explained patiently.
"Just now she said her brother was..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense. What kind of person is Zhao Ruxun? How can a little kid like her know him? She is full of lies and you can't believe it." The bun shop owner is very familiar with the little girl. "We all call her Xiao.
Liar, please don’t be fooled again in the future.”
"Hey, boss, here are two baskets of steamed buns and a bowl of wine." The annoying voice appeared again, and Qianyu said, "Bring me one basket, too, and we'll pay together."
The honest monk had already sat down aside and said, "Donor, after we have eaten and drank enough, we will go find Zhao Ruxun."
