divine punishment

Chapter 9 Yihualou

Jiang Chen was anxious and angry, and he couldn't wait to chop the fat demon soldiers into sauce. "Ai" emerged, and he was about to fall. He had to escape and seek it again.

"Wow-Wow." Luo Yan suddenly winked at Jiang Chen and snore. The fat demon soldier was stunned and muttered, "Grandma, he slept so much. I must report you this time, unless he helps me pay off my gambling debts." Jump up the tree.

The six eyes were facing each other, and the fat demon soldier opened his mouth wide in horror. "Puff", Jiang Chen explored his palm like lightning and crushed the other party's throat. Looking down, Xiaoyou and his entourage finally walked away without causing their suspicion. Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off the armor of the fat demon soldier and let Luo Yan put it on. Hurry up and gather, and don't be found by the demon army that there are fewer people. Jiang Chen hid in the gray fog and rose into the sky.

Luo Yan jumped off the tree and ran to the gathered demon team. Her armor barely fits, and her helmet can cover more than half of her face. There is no doubt that she stands at the end of the line. A captain-like monster saw her from afar, cursed her a few words, and whistled the whole team back to the camp.

Jiang Chen floated silently to the demon team and followed all the way, approaching the entrance of the camp. The gray fog quietly wrapped Luo Yan and flew to the sky.

Xiaoyou is clearly visible below.

Hengtong City - Qi Yunfeng - Mica City - Kaitai City - Wutong Mountain - Qingyu City - Luoyan City, Xiaoyou travels day and night, and its footprint almost runs through the southeast of Dongzhou.

Jiang Chen's tracking is unspeakable. This area is full of the sphere of influence of the holy land of the Arctic, with checkpoints and sentries, and the air demon army patrols endlessly. The materialization of "ai" is full of calculation, and it can only last five or six hours. For the rest of the time, Jiang Chen must take Luo Yandong to hide in Tibet, pretend to pretend to be, and do everything he can to avoid losing the world. Even so, it was still almost found several times.

Fortunately, with the improvement of mana and the consolidation of the realm of Sendai, Jiang Chen's control of the seven emotions has become more and more proficient, and the time of materialization has been extended to an amazing ten hours. Along the way, he controlled the "ai" and flew in the sky, and the gray fog seemed to blend with his Taoist realm, becoming an indelible mark of life.

"Why did Xiaoyou turn west?" Luo Yan motioned Jiang Chen to fly down a little. The haze and gray lead clouds wandered in the sky, connecting with the raccoon river in the distance. Dusk, turbid, as if surrounded by clouds. On the edge of the river, Xiaoyou waited for the seven demons to cut wood and make boats, and went straight across the river.

"After passing the raccoon river, it will no longer be the site of the holy land of the Arctic." Luo Yan couldn't understand the tunnel. Continue east, which is the position of the demon army. Zhu Geliang told in detail the sphere of influence of the three parties of the Arctic Holy Land, Yunfu Island and Lingyin Sect in Dongzhou. The demon army occupied most of the country, and the camp expanded the whole east and south. In the north is the world of Yunfu Island, and the rabble leading to Yunfu Island is located in the grass sea to the north. The main forces of the two sides were glued along the Lancang River and confronted each other across the river, forming the forefront of the battlefield. The power of the Lingyin School has completely contracted, retreating to the far west of the eastern continent, in a corner, and taking on the posture of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

"It's a little strange. He should go straight to the front line of the Lancang River." Jiang Chen slowly floated across the river, and his heart was suspicious. Xiaoyou went to the other side of the Huanjiang River, which is equivalent to entering the center of Dongzhou. There are mostly plain towns, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and not enough to be strategic. For the sake of overall military deployment, the Arctic Holy Land and Yunfu Island coincidentally abandoned those areas, leaving only some liaison personnel and scouts. Today, the three most indifferent areas in Dongzhou are born from this.

"It's even more dangerous than the battlefield. You may stab a knife out of the darkness at any time, and you don't know who the enemy is." Jiang Chen clearly remembered Zhu Geliang's warning, "A large number of exiles, robbers, thieves, thieves who fled from the war and left their hometowns, and the hidden masters who tried to make a fortune in the war, and the local black and white forces, Lingyin faction, Yunfu Island and the arctic holy land gathered here. The forces of all parties are entangled and complicated.

Jinyan City in Linjiang is such a place. In the dark, Xiaoyou and his party quietly entered the city and never came out again.

"The rain moistens and spits beads, and the moon smokes. This is the third largest city in Dongzhou. It used to be a snowy night, a place of fireworks and willows, and a well-known warm soft silver nest and golden caves in the cloud world. At dusk, the paintings on the river are fragrant, the waves are beautiful, and the bustling lights illuminate countless romantic trends. Walking on the streets of Jinyan City, Luo Yan sighed. The tall buildings on both sides were brightly lit, reflecting her disguised wine nose shining red.

The Ping An Inn at the end of the street is where Xiaoyou stays. After spending a lot of money, they also settled down in the Ping An Inn. After monitoring for a long time, Xiaoyou couldn't close it. Jiang Chen and others simply ran out for a walk, the bottom here.

"It's not bad now. It's very lively. There is no sign of war at all." Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, the carriages and horses on the road were intertwined, and the underwear of Hualou was full of fragrant temples. The hot summer wind blows the sound of silk bamboo string music, occasionally mixed with women's laughter, which makes people's hair hot and dry. In the cloud world of soldiers and horses, such a place can be called an excellent refuge. No wonder the flow of people is congested like newly built tiles and buildings can be seen everywhere.

"It's different. Now Jinyan City is just a bright monster full of poisonous insects and jumping lice. Luo Yan whispered, "Look at these passers-by, whether they are demons, the smiles on their faces can't hide the fear and sadness in their bones. They don't know what will happen tomorrow, and they don't know when this comfort nest will become the ruins engulfed by war.

"A happy nest? This is a peaceful nest for fish and dragons. Jiang Chen said, "How many talents do you think Xiaoyou has in his hand?"

" tens of thousands of cars?"

"Absolutely not only when the war is most urgent, what does Xiaoyou personally deliver the goods? The things in his hand far exceed our expected value.

But what did he come here for? Do you deliberately stay here for a few days and then rush to the front line?

"I also want to figure it out. There must be a big conspiracy. As long as we have a way to destroy the purpose of his trip, we will definitely get a satisfactory harvest. Jiang Chen turned around, let go of a group of rampaging and roaring monsters, and continued, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I think we may have miscalculated something. At least at present, there is no shortage of Dan in the army of the Holy Land of the Arctic. Think about it, they have raided the whole state, and the annual treasury of major names is more than hundreds of millions? Yuntian should have prepared enough military supplies before the battle, and will not be transported in a hurry when the battle begins. Even if it is to be transported, it will be dispatched in Dongzhou.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Yuntian is really shrewd to destroy Zhongzhou with a thunderous momentum. Backed by Zhongzhou's huge wealth, the Arctic Holy Land is not afraid of a protracted battle with Yunfu Island.

Luo Yan shouted in disbelief, "So, the whole escort action is just a complete cover?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "We can sneak out of the Arctic holy land, and the top masters of Yunfu Island can naturally sneak into the Arctic holy land and spy on military information. Yuntian's large-scale dispatch of materials in the Arctic holy land may just be the trick of Yunfu Island to make the wrong strategic arrangements.

"Yuntian spent a lot of effort to lay out this game. What on earth is the plot?"

"What is the purpose of Xiaoyou sneaking back from the front line and sneaking around a big circle and sneaking here? Both are actually the same answer. Jiang Chen looked at the prosperous and lively Jinyan City and thought to himself that Xiaoyou escorted not only materials, but also other things.

"Ah" short screams suddenly sounded, and a luxury animal car crashed into a bolted stone pile on the roadside and stopped. The driver was nowhere to be found, and a rich gentleman-like man rolled out of the carriage, with a pale face and a stab on his bloody lower abdomen. Help me, I have money." He fell to the ground and stretched out his trembling hand to passers-by.

After a brief silence, the noise returned to the surroundings. The carriages and horses passed by the rich gentry one by one, and passers-by talked and laughed, as if the other party was just a dead thing. A man in brocade robe hugged two and a half demons left and right, laughed with his hands up and down, and stepped on the rich gentry unscrupulously with wide soles and thick boots.

The rich gentleman's eyes were quickly dim, and his arms for help were powerless to droop. Yn's dark alley corner suddenly rushed out a few shadows, rushed to the side of the body, picked up a jn light on the emerald ring, gold thread purse, waist y-band, and then dispersed.

"This is the Jinyan City now." Luo Yan said calmly, "Drunken and insensitive."

"The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. It's the same everywhere." Jiang Chen sighed secretly and looked at a little beggar trembling close to the body of the rich gentry. His thin face was covered with a large tattered robe and searched the body for a long time. The little beggar got nothing and turned his disappointed eyes to the passers-by.

"Dear gentlemen, the little beggar knelt down and kowtowed. Before he finished speaking, he was kicked away by impatient passers-by.

In an instant, it seemed that two flames burned in Jiang Chen's eyes. I strode over, grabbed the beggar's stinky collar with my left hand and punched it away.

"Papa" Jiang Chen's stiff fist was hit again and again, which made the little beggar bleed all over his face. Why don't you resist?" Jiang Chen looked coldly at his frightened pupils, "I hit you, why don't you fight back?" Is it useful to be afraid of returning? Is it useful to cry? I will beat you to death. Why don't you resist?

The little beggar trembled all over, and Jiang Chen punched him mercilessly. Luo Yan was dumbfounded, and the pedestrians turned a blind eye and even avoided it from afar.

"Wow." Like the sad sound before the death of the young beast, the little beggar bit Jiang Chen's left thumb, and tears flashed in his eyes.

"Look, you can give it back." Jiang Chen let go of his hand and stared at him quietly, as if staring at his former self. There can be tears or sparks in your eyes.

"What do you want? What to eat and what to wear? Jiang Chen took off the silk robe of the rich gentry's body, wrapped it around the beggar, led him to the garbage heap in the corner of the alley, grabbed a handful of sticky things, and sent it to his mouth.

chewing the rotten smell in his mouth, Jiang Chen smiled at him: "You see, it's difficult and simple to live. We have our own hands, so we don't need to beg. It's also a garbage dump. The weak see despair, and the strong can find hope.

The little beggar looked at Jiang Chen in a daze, and his nosebleed slowly flowed through the blue veins blooming neck. Jiang Chen's consciousness condensed, destroyed the six-character truth into the other party's mind, and deeply imprinted the secret into his mind. Unable to bear this way of transmission, the little beggar fainted on the spot. Jiang Chen took out a marrow-washing pill from Ruyi's bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen said to the silent Luo Yandao. The evening wind was like a dream, and he walked from the gray and smelly alley to the brightly lit market. He knew that not everyone could come out.

"What do you want to change? Is it really useful to give him the six-character formula for destroying? Will he become a strong man who does all kinds of evil? Wang Shu suddenly asked Jiang Chen.

"At least, I gave him a chance to choose."

"It's better to say that you manipulated his choice."

"The choice can only be made by yourself." Jiang Chen said lightly, "Wang Shu, I know that the two-headed monster that eats your soul makes you depressed. But whether it is a bad cliff or a magnificent sea and sky. Whether it is rotting or reborn, it is part of the choice. Now that you have done it, you must have the courage to bear it. The idea of persistence should still continue to persist.

Wang Shu was silent for a long time and said, "Thank you, I understand."

"You also taught me a lot." Jiang Chen smiled and walked to the opposite Yihua Building with Luo Yan. People and demons in Jinyan City are at peace on the surface, which is obviously a certain balance reached by all forces. The bright and dark forces of this city may find clues of Xiaoyou's intention to travel. And to find out the news, brothels are the best place. Yihua Building is the number one brothel in Jinyan City.

The two turtle slaves attentively lifted the bead curtain, and the old woman with heavy makeup greeted them. The orchid pointed and shook the mandarin ducks into a ball of flowers: "Ah, the two uncles are really upright and powerful, a cousin. Please come in quickly. Do you have a sister you know well? The two uncles seem to be newcomers, right? Let's play tea first and then bloom?

Luo Yan rolled his eyes, and their current ugly clothes had nothing to do with the mighty. It's easy to beat the tea fence. Let's start directly. Call a few more red card maids. I have a lot of money. Jiang Chen deliberately shouted rudely, took out a dozen round night pearls, stuffed them into the old pimp's belly pocket, and took the opportunity to pinch her plump buttocks.

"Ouch, the old man is joking." The old lady laboriously took out the night pearl from the cleavage, and her expression was obviously cold. In today's world, Ye Mingzhu is not worth much money. She is reluctant to play tea, so don't mention calling it a red herder.

Jiang Chen snorted and came out a few fragrant pills: "Is that enough now?"

The old pimp looked at Dancheng a few times and smelled it again, and immediately smiled like a flower on his face: "Four good elixirs are enough to ask two good girls to have a banquet."

The old pimp in the world has also grown into a talent expert. Jiang Chen glanced over the hall. Most of the guests on the ground floor were weak and vulgar. Obviously, there was no ostorious identity. With a slight hesitation, he raised his feet and walked upstairs.

The old pimp stopped Jiang Chen with a smile: "I'm sorry, two uncles. The second floor is a distinguished guest. Tonight, it happens to be the first flower leader in Jinyan City. On the day of the listing of the Qing man Xiaofengxian, I'm afraid of a few Taisui Dan.

"Isn't it a noble man who is blind, can't sleep with Xiaofengxian?" Jiang Chen stared, plus a green ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The Qing people are listed on the first night of the auction. Most of the prominent local actors will not be absent, which is an opportunity to spy on the forces behind them.

The old girl was immediately bent down by a grass, led us upstairs, bit Jiang Chen's ear affectionately and muttered, "The leading figures in the city are all upstairs. They are not easy to talk to. Guest officials need to be cautious."

Unlike the noisy ground floor, the upstairs environment is elegant. Gorgeous and gorgeous phoenix peacock feather carpet, mandarin duck butterfly embroidered paste wall, dragon soul wood inlaid bird mica screen. There is a round jewel as big as a head hanging on the top wall, half of which is as dark as ink, and half of which is bright and shining. The jewels slowly rotated, and a wisp of rainbow smoke spewed out of the bead hole, reflecting the bright and faint pearl light, emitting a fragrant musk.

Around the box, eight glazed beaded tables were staggered, and a group of people each sat high, talking and laughing softly, eating and drinking. The old woman quickly opened a table for us. The delicate girl was half transparent and served all kinds of dishes and fruits.

Sitting abruptly, Jiang Chen and Luo Yan suddenly became the focus of everyone, with dozens of pairs of eyes looking together, either suspected of observing or coldly examining or expressionless.

"Haha, the women here are more spiritual than below." Jiang Chen pretended to be rude and hugged a beauty who handed tea* and greedily asked for it. Here is close to the corner, through the half-open bamboo and blue screen window, you can overlook the raccoon river at night.

"Brother, where is the little phoenix fairy? We brought enough silver." Luo Yan also pretended to order two girls, hugged them left and right, and his mouth sounded.

"Don't worry, money is the old man, not to mention that we have brought a few rare grass. Tonight, our two brothers will definitely start with meat." Jiang Chen patted his chest fiercely, and the beauty in his arms twisted her waist coquettishly.

Several groups of people's eyes were taken back one after another, and their faces were disdainful." A blue shirt man shouted at the table, his eyes were like a sharp lightning, "If you talk nonsense, get out of here

did not scold back. Jiang Chen spewed out the core of his mouth and stared at him, showing no weakness. If he wants to enter these people's circle as soon as possible, he must waver. But it can't be too provocative. Among them, you should handle it carefully.

"Kid, who are you staring at and dug your dog's eyes?" Several big men around the blue shirt man shouted and scolded, suddenly wearing knives around their waists.

Jiang Chen suddenly got up, sat down in front of several big men, and shouted in a fierce tone, "Let's judge, can't we look at people?"

Luo Yan cleverly matched Jiang Chen's words: "We two brothers don't want to find trouble, we just want to sleep with Xiao Fengxian."

"Brother Qiu Xuan doesn't have to be annoyed. These two friends are straightforward, and naturally speak with less scruples. Everyone came to support Xiaofengxian's field. Why did they shout to kill and scare Huakui*? An old man next to him, wearing a goatee, said with a smile.

"Well, for the sake of Brother Li, Qiu doesn't care about such rough goods." The blue-shirted man named Qiu Xuan waved his hand, and the big men sat down as ordered.

"Qiu Xuan, human, has mana equivalent to the realm of seven kills, and is regarded as a second-rate good hand." Returning to Sendai made Jiang Chen test Qiu Xuan's cultivation, and he turned to pay attention to Old Li. Although he is also a human, he has at least the strength of his life. If the other party is not a hidden master, he must be a person from Lingyin School and Yunfu Island.

Look at the other five tables, three of which are monsters. The most powerful demon spirit is completely restrained and difficult for ordinary people to notice, and has suddenly reached the cultivation of life. Among the remaining human beings, there are two handsome middle-aged men who are actually seven-kill.

A small flower building is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. When he picked up the tea cup, Jiang Chen drank it all, and his heart burned with boiling fighting spirit.

Let's see how he is here, turning over the clouds with one hand and turning his hand into rain.
