Chapter 57 Enter Tuomu City
(Third update! Ten thousand words have been updated, please collect it!)
Qianyuzong is in the southwest of the mountain, thousands of miles away from the mountain. And in the south of the mountain, there is the Broken Soul Desert, a place of death that makes people talk and change! The soul prison that keeps pouring out of the ghost beast is in it, and this place has become the nest of the ghost beasts...
It was precisely because he was very close to the underworld prison that Zhang Yan did not dare to fly high in high altitude, but flew away quickly on the ground.
Out of the mountain, passing through the already uninhabited Kuzhe City, Zhang Yan came to the Lower Tuomu City on the afternoon of the third day. And Lanyun Mountain, where Qianyuzong is located, is behind Tom City.
The mountain is thousands of feet high and foggy all year round. Looking from afar, the mountain is tall and majestic, straight into the sky, and it seems that you can't see the top. Qianyuzong, one of the three sects in northern Xinjiang, is in the depths of Lanyun Mountain!
Zhang Yan paused in Tom City. The city was full of people and rutted, but it looked extremely lively. There was no ghost prison opening, and the scene of chaos in northern Xinjiang. Compared with the empty city and dead city he saw all the way, the difference is not ordinary!
This doubt was soon solved. At that time, Zhang Yan came to a restaurant to rest and inquired about Qian Yuzong by the way. But he was attracted by the conversation of a group of samurai on the table nearby.
"Three days later, the immortals of Qianyuzong opened the mountain gate and gathered a wide range of disciples. Why don't we guys join in the fun? Maybe he had a deep chance and was selected by the immortals to be a disciple! At that time, everyone will envy the wind and rain and prolong life!" A dwarf warrior with a dark red birthmark on his face drank a sip of wine and looked excited.
"Hum, Mu Asi, don't be delusional. Immortals receive children with great talent and infinite potential! You're about to run for four, and you're still excited!" A samurai as thin as a bamboo pole has a disdainful face.
"Wow, you can't say that. Who knows if you don't try? I can't say that my four artifacts were late and were picked by the immortals at a glance! In today's world, the ghost beasts are raging everywhere. If we don't practice some powerful spells, how can our runners get along in the future!" Mu Asi didn't care about the sarcasm of the bamboo pole warrior at all, and still looked leisurely fascinated.
"Four, I advise you to put away your mind of running outside. Now only this Tuomu City, under the protection of Qianyuzong, has avoided the invasion of the ghost beast. In three years, who do you think dares to take a step out of the city? If he is not coaxed out of the city, he is lucky. Don't be blessed..." Another burly man frowned and couldn't help remind Mu Asi.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan suddenly realized that Qian Yuzong could naturally protect the people here, and it was normal for this place to be so seizing. But now that there is chaos in northern Xinjiang, why did Qian Yuzong open the mountain gate and put away his apprentice? Aren't they worried about being affected by the chaos of the ghost beast?
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but listened attentively.
But he heard the bamboo pole warrior say, "Mu Asi, which boss of Fu Rongji did you offend? Why were you kicked out of the goods store?"
"Don't mention it. A few days ago, Fu Rongji's motorcade that went to Wanzhong Mountain to purchase goods came back. I accidentally offended their captain Chang Heng. My boss was afraid that Fu Rongji would trouble him and directly fired me. Damn, this Fu Rongji is too domineering..." Mu Asi's face was excited, and obviously he was still worried about this matter. I'm worried about it.
"Rabbit, who are you scolding? Can you scold Fu Rongji? But a thin middle-aged man at another table stood up and walked this way, "You're trying to curse. Second Master Jiao must kill you!"
The people at the table of Mu Asi were stunned and saw the person in front of him clearly. There was a sign hanging on his chest. He couldn't help but change his face. The bamboo pole warrior shouted, "You are the person of Furongji!"
"Why, now that I know the identity of the master, I dare not fart randomly?" Second Master Jiao looked at the table in front of him. A disdainful face.
Mu Asi and others were scolded by Second Master Jiao and their faces turned red, but they were afraid of his identity and dared not say anything. He was seen by people around him, like sitting on pins and felt, and his face was even worse.
"Jiao Lao Er!" Seeing the face of the person in front of him, Zhang Yan couldn't help shouting out. As early as when Mu Asi and others talked about Furongji, he felt very familiar and felt that he had heard it somewhere.
And Mu Asi mentioned Chang Heng again. He suddenly remembered that when he first left Cuishan Town, the team led by Liao Tou was Fu Rongji. Chang Heng was the captain of Zhang Yan's team!
In an instant, Zhang Yan remembered a lot and suddenly understood why he was so familiar with the name when he first entered Tom City. The Fulongji base camp belonging to the Liao family is located in Tom City.
At this time, I saw Jiao Laoer, who had been in a team, appeared in front of me, fighting for Furongji, and was more sure that he had guessed it well.
I didn't expect that I would meet the people of Liaotou's team. Didn't they stay in Longyuan City? Why did they come back?
"Who called me? Didn't you see that I was teaching a bunch of dogs?" Jiao Laoer turned his head impatiently. When he saw the face of the person in front of him, his face suddenly became extremely wonderful and stammered, "Zhang, Zhang, Elder Zhang!" Why are you here?"
Isn't the person in front of you the predecessor Zhang who killed a Jindan period monk in one fell swoop! Even Liao's head is going to be abusing object. He just seemed to... scold him!
"I...small... didn't mean it, I..." Thinking of his reckless behavior, Jiao Lao Er's scalp was numb and speechless in fear.
"I don't blame you. Don't stand there. Sit down and talk to me. Is your motorcade back? Zhang Yan looked at Jiao Laoer, who was at a loss and uneasy, and couldn't help sighing. It seemed impossible to speak freely as before.
"Hey! Hey!" Jiao Laoer hurriedly responded and moved to the rock table, but did not dare to walk down.
There were many people upstairs. They looked at it with a lively attitude. Most of them knew Jiao Laoji. After all, Fu Rongji's reputation in Tom City is very famous, and Jiao Laoji is also famous for causing trouble. Unexpectedly, Jiao Laoer, who was originally strong and arrogant, withered and stood in front of a teenager submissively, thinking that the mouse had seen the cat, which was not ordinary fear. This change is too fast!
Who is this teenager to make Jiao's second brother so scared? The people upstairs were curious and turned their eyes to Zhang Yan's table.
Mu Asi and others saw that Jiao Laoer couldn't pay attention to themselves and dared not stay for a moment and walked downstairs one after another.
For a while, the upstairs was unusually quiet and the atmosphere was very strange.
"Let's get out of here." Zhang Yan obviously found something abnormal, stood up and walked downstairs.
Jiao Laoer hurriedly trotted all the way and obediently followed Zhang Yan, even ignoring his friends who ate wine with him...
"Senior, where are we going?"
"You lead the way, um, just go to your house, Fu Rongji. Liaotou is also back, right?"
"I'm back, I'm back, everyone is back, senior, you go this way..."
Jiao Laoer nodded and bowed all the way and took Zhang Yan to Fu Rongji. His expression was extremely respectful. For Zhang Yan's questions, he really answered questions and was detailed and thoughtful.
Zhang Yan also cleared his mind. It turned out that not long after Zhang Yan left Longyuan City, Liaotou led the team to leave. There was no choice. Liao Wenlan, the head of the Liao family, ordered the convoy to send the goods back to Tumu City according to the deadline. Liaotou had to bravely take everyone on the road. There was no danger along the way. Unexpectedly, he did not meet the army of ghost beasts. Everyone arrived in Tom City safely, which must be said to be a miracle.
Zhang Yan secretly said that he was surprised, but he thought that since Qian Yuzong was near Tuomu City, it would be better for Liaotou to know the news from him.
Under the leadership of Jiao Laoer, the two of them quickly came to the location of Fu Rongji.
This is a three-story building with various leather and medicinal materials. Since it was afternoon, there were few guests, and it seemed a little lonely inside. An old man with a gray beard was squinting behind the counter and taking a nap.
"Old Zhou! Go and inform Liaotou! Just say... Elder Zhang is here!" Jiao Laoer crackled the counter, which made the old man wake up.
Old Zhou took a look at Jiao Laoer, then looked at Zhang Yan, curled his lips, and walked while scolding, "Jiao Laoer, you two hundred and fifty, you know to disturb my old man. Alas, the world is getting worse, and people are old..."
Old Zhou muttered and disappeared into a door. When Jiao Laoer saw Zhang Yan looking at himself with a smile, he couldn't help laughing, "Senior, don't be surprised. This old man is like this. He likes to complain, and his mouth stinks when he sees everyone!"
"Senior, please sit down and Liao will come in a while." Jiao Laoer pulled the chair next to him and put it in front of Zhang Yan and made a cup of tea for him, but he stood aside and carefully served Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan did not say anything about the attentive behavior of the second brother, but he felt a kind of loss in his heart. Is it really an insurmountable gap between mortals and monks? No wonder Li Shaojun and others treated themselves like this. Maybe they also regarded themselves as small and humble ants...
For a moment, Liao, with gray hair and a dry body, rushed out. When he saw Zhang Yan, his face was happy, "Senior! Sure enough, it's you, the little old man, who is guilty and keeps you waiting for a long time.
"I take the liberty to come here and disturb Liao's head." Zhang Yan got up with a smile on his face. It was always very pleasant to meet the old man.
"What's the presumptuous? It's a glorious happy event for my predecessor to come!" Liao's face was respectful, and then he looked straight and said to Jiao Laoer, "This time, the senior can come to our Furongji, which is also your credit. Go to the accounting room to get the reward. Well, just follow the highest level."
The highest level of reward, there are 50 taels of gold! I didn't expect to give Elder Zhang a way and have such a rich income. My second brother Jiao will be developed now...
Jiao Laoer smiled on his face, bowed to Zhang Yan and Liao, and ran away as if flying.
After leaving Jiao Laoer, Liao Tou smiled and said, "The little old man was much happier to see that the senior was sound. I don't know when you need help when you came here this time? As long as you can use the old man, you can say it directly!"
A monk with advanced cultivation like Zhang Yan is generally unnecessary and will not find himself. Unless he can use his own business, he will not come at all! So as soon as Liaotou opened his mouth, he was straightforward and not sagging at all.
He understands that only in this way can he win Zhang Yan's favor and maintain each other's feelings. If something happens to him in the future, he can't say anything, and he has to ask Zhang Yan for help!
