Chapter 870 – Dazzling Rich
After it was dark, it was obvious that a large portion of the people in the inn had become unusual. The owner of this inn, Bai Jiuli, was a little despondent. She went upstairs several times, but stopped when she reached the stairs to the third floor. In the end, she didn’t go up. When it was almost noon, the street was strangely quiet, but there were shadows everywhere.
The fifth time, she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and prepared to go upstairs. Behind her, at least a dozen people from the inn and a few people from the inn followed.
“Venerable One?”
Bai Jiuli cautiously asked from the stairs, “Did you fall asleep? We... We have some things that we would like to ask the Venerable One. ”
The door of the monk room creaked open. The monk in white walked to the door and smiled at the crowd, “What is it?”
Bai Jiuli turned around and looked at his companions. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Friends of the Venerable One, can you leave the inn tonight?”
“Why?”
“The Venerable One has also seen it. It will not be peaceful outside tonight.”
“So, when you came in, you should have refused.”
The monk looked at them and said, “You all should head back now. Your faces are a little ugly.”
Someone squeezed out from behind and shouted, “Who exactly are your friends? Why did they become so terrifying when they came to the Caloro City? We are living a good life here without causing trouble, but since you guys are here, then so be it. ”
“All of you, hurry up and leave.”
“The people of the country are outside. Once they come in, you all will know what the consequences are. The people of zhengzong were unreasonable, they thought that whoever could not exist would disappear. This Caloro City is no longer the Caloro City of the past. Even the City Lord is unable to protect himself now.
An Zheng’s room door opened, and he walked out to stand there and look at these people: “You all call yourself living?”
Everyone was startled, the person who spoke earlier roared at An Zheng. At that moment, his face cracked open, and a big bloody mouth appeared, as though it could swallow An Zheng up at any time. However, An Zheng only shook his head slightly, “You people have been killed once, to the point where such a great fear has appeared in your hearts. Now, you don’t even dare to resist. You all said that you only want to live well, and the monk didn’t ask, but I wanted to ask. ”
An Zheng took a step forward, “Where did you guys get that drawing?”
Those people’s expressions changed drastically, and some of them subconsciously retreated.
At this moment, the street was filled with a series of howls that sounded like the howls of wolves. The previous eerie silence had disappeared, as if countless demons and monsters had gathered over from all directions. The monk walked to the window to take a look before disappearing in a flash.
The next second, the monk appeared on the roof of the inn. He raised his hand and drew in the air. Then, a white lotus bloomed there. When the white lotus flower blossomed, it emitted a sacred light that enveloped the entire inn. The ghostly wails and howls outside suddenly stopped. Not long after, there were whispers, but nothing could be heard.
An Zheng swept his eyes across those people: “Don’t enrage me, otherwise you all will definitely die in front of those things outside.”
She looked at An Zheng, and a red light flashed in her eyes.
“How dare you!”
The purple star point in An Zheng’s left eye started to spin rapidly. Bai Jiuli let out a cry of Ah, and flew backwards, his back heavily hitting the floor of the next floor. It directly smashed through the floor and fell back to the first floor. A layer of light purple flames burned off her body. After a moment, the layer of skin on her body was completely burned away. Her original appearance was so ugly that it looked likeeled fox.
Those people who saw this were so scared that their faces paled, and they all retreated back.
An Zheng said: “I know a little about Jialou Huowu, she seems to have done a good deed to take in all of you lonely ghosts. But in reality, all she did was satisfy the twisted kindness in her own heart. How many citizens in Caloro City are no longer living peaceful lives? Not to mention you unranked things, even if Jialou Huowu was here, I would still be able to destroy your bodies and souls in front of her. ”
The bloodied fox Bai Jiuli endured the pain as he crawled up, kneeling down and kowtowing to An Zheng non-stop. It was impossible for him to make a sound from his mouth, but he was begging for forgiveness. An Zheng turned around, and as he brushed his sleeves, the light purple flames on Bai Jiu Li’s body disappeared. Bai Jiuli lay on the ground, relieved of his burden. His eyes had become empty.
When An Zheng returned to his room, he found Qu Liuxi waiting for him with his clothes draped over his shoulders.
“What is going on with this place?”
“This is a crevice. I don’t know why the monk wants us to meet here.” He still hasn’t said it, so I can’t ask. It’s just that there must be something important since he invited us here alone. If he doesn’t say it, it might just be a matter of time. ”
“Crack?”
Qu Liuxi pulled An Zheng’s hand and sat down: “I still don’t understand.”
An Zheng explained: “Do you remember the time when I met Jian Mo, when someone opened uift between hell and man, allowing something from hell to come out from within. But they couldn’t exist in the sun. The only way was to paint the skin to shield it from the sun. Painted skin was just a euphemism. In simple terms, it was putting on human skin. Many of the people here were actually not living creatures, and should have all died in the hands of the zhengzong’s people. Caloro City’s Mayor Jialou Huowu saved them, but the people in the zhengzong must have grasped a certain amount of power that came from hell, so these people couldn’t even enter the cycle of reincarnation. They could only look calm and alive in the Caloro City. ”
“Aren’t the zhengzong afraid of the Buddhist Sect’s attack?”
“In the entire Western Regions, there are many countries as extreme as the Concourse of the Underworld. The Buddhist Sect would not question it, because any religion would want such extreme believers to exist. Not only the Buddhist Sect, but because this is the Western Regions, the Buddhist Sect is on the surface. If it were anywhere else, it would be the same, including the disciples of the Dao Sect. ”
Qu Liuxi shook her head: “I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand anymore.”
An Zheng rubbed her hair: “Sleep well, it won’t be peaceful tonight.”
He covered Qu Liuxi with a blanket and dressed himself. He went from the third floor to the first floor and sat in the hall. Those people in the inn had hidden far away from him, but Bai Jiuli was already nowhere to be seen. An Zheng took out the Old Eunuch’s Sky Slaughter Sword and placed it on the table.
An Zheng held onto the sword sheath: “Don’t be hasty …”
The Sky Slaughter Sword released a clanging sound as though it could not restrain its killing intent.
The door creaked open as someone pushed it open from the outside. A beautiful young man walked in. Behind him were seven or eight men in golden clothes, all of them wearing masks. This young man was accompanied by a woman. She looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, and her appearance had a bewitching charm to it. When she saw An Zheng, her eyes turned a little, as if she was quite interested in him.
After that young noble entered, he glanced at An Zheng with disdain.
“People of the Central Plains, no wonder some of my men are getting impatient.”
He walked to the front of An Zheng and sat down, then placed the fan on the table. With a clang, the Celestial Slaughter Sword made a light sound, while the fan opened up by itself with a clap. At this moment, the sword and the fan seemed to be opposing each other with equal harshness.
That young noble seemed to be slightly shocked as he glanced at An Zheng’s Sky Slaughter Sword. Then, he waved to the woman who was following him: “No matter what, those who have come from afar are guests. “You can’t afford to neglect the good wine I brought you for your guests to taste.”
The girl smiled as she took out a bottle of wine and placed it on the table. The young master smiled and said, “You might not know what this wine is. Let me introduce it to you.” This wine is my own creation. I named it the Bejewelled Nectar Jade Wine. I don’t know if you people of Central Plains have ever seen a wine brewing technique from a medicinal pill, but my jade brewing technique is made from a genuine medicinal pill. If ordinary people were to drink it, their lifespan would increase. For cultivators, drinking it would increase their cultivation. ”
An Zheng laughed, and turned to call out: “Fatty, come down and drink.”
Du Shoushou came from the third floor and casually sat next to An Zheng. He glanced at the young master before sniffing the scent of the wine. “Seems alright.”
The young master smiled and said, “I’m afraid you all have never tasted this before. However, the strength of this wine is a little too strong. You all should drink less.”
Du Shoushou frowned: “This wine isn’t that good to begin with. Without more dishes, how can we continue to drink?”
The young master’s expression changed.
The woman standing beside him frowned, “You people of the Central Plains only know how to boast. This iot of wine that requires one hundred and eight emerald pills to turn into a pot of wine that is priceless. You guys actually said it wasn’t good, it really made people laugh their teeth out. I only know that you people from the Central Plains have the best face.
However, An Zheng ignored him. He turned around and glanced at the people at the inns who were cowering in the corner: “How about we let them cook a few dishes randomly?”
Du Shoushou shook his head: “How can we make the stir-fried vegetables in time with the alcohol? Besides, us Central Plains people can easily deal with it if we drink.
An Zheng: “Did you bring peanut?”
Du Shoushou shook his head: “No, no one can casually bring that thing along.”
He took ouather large jade bottle from his space tool and poured the bottle onto the table, pulling out at least a few hundred red-rank pills. “Although this pill doesn’t taste very good, it’s still better than wine. Of course, it’s not comparable to the Five Fragrant Peanut Rice.”
He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing with kacha kacha sounds before taking a sip of wine from his nose. “It really doesn’t taste good. Don’t ask me to come down and drink the next time you drink something like that.” Even a red rank pill would be wasted, let aloneanut? ”
He got up and went upstairs. It seemed like he didn’t even want the pills that were scattered all over the table.
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically: “I am truly sorry. My friend haather straightforward personality, so he doesn’t let his thoughts wander. But we can’t entirely blame him for that. It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a terrible drink. Right, why don’t you try these beans? Although it is not comparable to peanut rice, the taste is still passable. ”
The young master’s face was ashen as he slammed the table. The red rank pills on the table were all shaken up, a few of them looked like they were about to roll under the table.
An Zheng said indifferently after taking a glance at the few pellets: “If it fell on the ground, do you think I would be angry?”
When the young master did not move, the girl hurriedly held the pill down and said, “This is the first time we’ve met, but we’re already friends. Why be angry?”
The young man snorted, stood up and left.
The girl lifted her hand that was holding the pill and sniffed it. She then took out a golden silk handkerchief to wipe her hands. “I’m really sorry. I’ll come and disturb you later.”
An Zheng picked up the red pellets one by one and casually threw them outside the door.
