Chapter 146: The Old Ape's Past! New Construction of Fengcheng! [Second Update!] In Gaoliu City, everyone, regardless of status, worships Liu Zun. Lin Yan knew that this involved a huge amount of offerings. During Liu Zun's deep sleep, powerful demons from the outside world entered within a hundred miles of Gaoliu City. The Liu Zun Temple had no choice but to activate the altar and use huge amounts of incense to distribute to the many demons and evil spirits and send them all away. But as a warrior, Lin Yan only heard the name of "incense" but didn't know its essence. "Three incense sticks, can actually have such an amazing effect on this willow tree?" Lin Yan was shocked and couldn't help but think: "No, it's because the incense is strong enough to make this willow tree grow to this extent!" "It is impossible for a normal person's three incense sticks to have such a huge incense power!" "The old man's cultivation is far beyond my expectations. He is too powerful, so he has such a miraculous effect!"
Then, Lin Yan couldn't help but frowned. I remembered the old man kneeling so decisively. The kowtow made a loud bang! There is absolutely no sign of any of the demeanor of a high-level human being in him! But in the next moment, Lin Yan just sighed. In this era of strange night, the human race is struggling to survive. Even the most powerful high-ranking humans only appear superior in the eyes of the world. Just like the senior officials of Gaoliu City, in the eyes of the common people in the city, they are all high and mighty and are all big shots. But faced with numerous powerful demons within a radius of a hundred miles, they finally decided to use huge amounts of incense to drive away those extremely high-level threats! To be honest, this itself is a kind of servility! "By the way, it seems your grandfather also got a share of the incense?" "what?" The little white ape scratched his head and said, "The old man did not completely refine the incense at that time. Later, Guzhou Guiwu was destroyed. He regarded the old man as prey and ate the incense..." Lin Yan frowned and said, "Then your old man has never received incense before?" The little white ape thought for a moment, then said, "I heard that they used to receive incense frequently, and the old man also said that in the past in Qingyun Mansion, in order to receive incense, they even opened up a piece of land and sheltered more than a hundred human beings." "But as more and more humans gathered, the energy of their flesh, blood, and souls attracted too many monsters and evil spirits." "Among them, there are also some great demons, as well as some evil spirits that have given birth to spiritual beings." "They even planned to share the food with the old man." "In the end, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to disperse those humans during the day and fled all the way to Qifeng Mansion." At this point, it said helplessly: "It's mainly because I'm young and have never seen incense! The old man used to say that it's not a good thing for a demon who is too young to receive incense..." Now, it was old enough to accept incense, but it didn't expect that the old man would be killed by the strange fog before he could refine the incense. "Let's solve this problem first, and then try again."
Lin Yan thought so and then stretched out his hand. He activated his true energy, causing eighteen tentacles to extend from the Nirvana Divine Egg, wrapping the ten-foot-tall willow tree layer by layer. Then he gradually retracted it until the willow tree became smaller and smaller and merged into the palm of his hand. Then he cleaned up the place, put out the fire, and led out the two horses. He took advantage of the situation and used the Dian Cang spirit possession technique to pass on his newly-advanced means to the little white ape. The little white ape was just about to use the "body-making" technique to try out this new method of creating a clone when he was hit on the head again. "Why did you hit me again?" "If you become Lin Yan, how can I get to Fengcheng?" "Aren't you impermanent?" "It is not appropriate for Wuchang to enter the city at this time." "What do you mean?" "Stop the grass and scare the snake." Lin Yan said slowly: "They can kill all the witnesses along the way. Aren't they guarding against me?" It was no secret that he was hosting a banquet for General Pei Xiong, not to mention that Shi Xu himself was present at the table. His fickle temperament is well known to the outside world, and he will never give up. "Master, do you think they will pay close attention to the people from Gaoliu City's Tianshi?" "This is inevitable. I believe that once the Shi family detects Wu Chang's whereabouts, they will arrange for people to stop him and let Shi Xu escape." Lin Yan said calmly: "It's a waste of time." The little white ape whispered, "Why don't you ask Fengcheng's Heavenly Supervisor for help?" Lin Yan pondered and said, "I have never met the Heavenly Supervisor of Fengcheng. It is hard to say whether they dare to offend the deputy city governor of Qifeng City! In short, instead of trusting those Fengcheng colleagues who have never dealt with me, it is better to trust my own sword!" He held up the little white ape and said, "Fengcheng is not Gaoliu City after all, so you don't have to go into the city, lest you be discovered by the temple in Fengcheng when you use your magical powers, and then you have to waste your breath explaining to them." "Without borrowing my magical powers, how can you find the other party's trace in such a huge Fengcheng?" "I have my own way. You stay outside the city and take good care of the horse." Lin Yan said this, and then smiled and said: "Fengcheng is not that big, it is even slightly smaller than Gaoliu Inner City." The inner city of Gaoliu City was originally a complete Gaoliu City. After the turmoil of that year, an expansion was carried out. But to be honest, the real reason for expanding the city is that with the worship of incense and offerings, the roots of Liu Zun's body have extended and the scope of protection has become wider. However, the god worshipped by the people of Fengcheng is revered as "God of Heaven". According to legend, he has been sleeping for a long time.
The priests of Fengcheng Temple can listen to the will of God in the dark. “Fengcheng was built a hundred years ago, but it was not truly completed until forty years ago.” "Because the God King Tiangong is special and very different from Liu Zun, Fengcheng will not be able to expand in the future." "But because of the existence of the God King of Heaven, Fengcheng is the richest place in Qifeng Prefecture. According to the information from the Heavenly Monitoring Department, half of the food in the entire Qifeng Prefecture is produced in Fengcheng!" Lin Yan looked ahead. Fengcheng can be seen from afar. On both sides of the road, you can see that this year's rice has ushered in a good harvest, and everywhere you look is golden. The fragrance of rice is intoxicating. The God of Heaven, in Qifeng Mansion, is the symbol of good harvest and favorable weather. In the city, various fruits and vegetables are grown, and between each market town, there are a large number of fruit trees planted. Here, life is thriving and trees are growing. Compared to Gaoliu City, this city is not too large. However, there were quite a few elite troops transferred from Qifeng Prefecture, who were stationed there all year round and provided strict defense. Even according to the news sent back by Zhaoye from the Tianjiansi, even the top leaders of Jiejin had issued strict orders not to set foot in Fengcheng! Because for the people of Jiejin, this is also their source of food! But there are still some extremely crazy members of Jiejin who choose to attack Fengcheng. In the past ten years, there have been twelve robberies and riots, causing many deaths and injuries. There were two times when the situation was extremely serious, resulting in poor harvests and causing many people to starve to death in Qifeng Prefecture. At the city gate ahead, merchants from all sides and people from major cities were queuing up to enter the city. Lin Yan was already far away. He asked the little white ape to take two horses to the clean land and come on foot. "Do you have a certificate to enter the city?" The soldiers guarding the city looked at him and questioned him. Lin Yan nodded, reached into his arms and took out the certificate. "Gao Liu City, Lin Jiang Fang, Lin Yan?" "Exactly." "Twenty copper coins." "Okay." Lin Yan reached into his arms, took out a piece of silver and handed it over. He has recently been in charge of the city defense forces in the southern area outside Gaoliu City and knows these rules. It is inevitable to question the origins for record keeping.
In addition to the threat of robbery, there is a bigger reason, that is, the people who are exiled to the Pure Land, once they enter the city, will hide from place to place and are unwilling to leave. Even in the past, when Lin Yan was a small flag and accumulating merits, he assisted the night watchman and killed many criminals. Among them, there was a "refugee" from outside the city who killed the people in the city and impersonated them with poor disguise skills. "Okay, let's go." The soldier guarding the city waved his hand. "I gave you a piece of change, and you have to give me back eighty copper coins." Lin Yan laughed and said this in a normal tone. "Bastard!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city showed anger and shouted, "Don't want to enter the city? Then go back to Gaoliu City!" "Brother, if you drive them out of the city now, it will be fatal when night falls." "So it's not worthwhile to buy your life with these eighty copper coins?" "Eighty copper coins for a life, it's really worth it." “Now it’s more than that.” "I see. I still have some silver ingots here." Lin Yan reached into his bag, took out a piece of silver, and asked with a smile, "So now, can I go into the city?" "Go ahead. You are a sensible person. Why were you so ignorant just now?" The soldier guarding the city waved his hand and let him in. Then he waved to the side. Suddenly, a thin man in coarse clothes came trotting over. "When that kid reached into the bag to take out the silver just now, I saw at least twenty ingots of silver inside. It was very heavy. Find someone to keep an eye on him." The soldier guarding the city said in a low voice, "When he leaves the city tomorrow, we will be able to save enough money to rent a piece of good farm. In the next ten years, we brothers will not have to worry about starving." Upon hearing this, the thin man nodded quickly, vaguely excited. Three years ago, for unknown reasons, Fengcheng suffered a natural disaster, half of the city wall collapsed, and many people died. It also led to a poor harvest, and many people starved to death in Qifeng Prefecture. They were originally the people of Licheng, and most of their parents, wives and children starved to death. After finally surviving the famine and losing their livelihood, they finally heard that Fengcheng needed a lot of hard labor to repair the city wall. In order to survive, they were recruited from Licheng and came to Fengcheng to repair the city walls and rebuild houses. This elder brother, because he had practiced some martial arts, was valued and given a job, filling the vacancies left by the soldiers who had died in the "natural disaster". And because these people had made great contributions to the construction of the city wall, and because many people in the city were killed or injured when the "natural disaster" occurred, they were given special mercy and allowed to become residents of the outermost district of Fengcheng.
But the famine that year, the broken families and deaths, had already become a huge shadow in my heart. To this day, I still feel scared and just want to pool money and rent a piece of good farm. - Lin Yan entered the city and found the most remote restaurant in the outermost district to rest. He placed the bag in his hand on the table with a calm expression. If nothing unexpected happens, a local tyrant who knows the news will come knocking on your door soon. The little white ape has confirmed that Shi Xu is in the city. Lin Yan knew that the people of the Shi family were quite capable and they must have been on guard everywhere. If he had directly asked the city defense soldiers, or gone to the Jiantiansi branch, someone would have come to stop him at this moment. And the son of the deputy mayor of Qifeng City should also leave from another city gate. "As the son of the deputy city lord of Qifeng Prefecture, Shi Xu is conceited and arrogant. Perhaps the inspector Wuchang is worthy of a higher regard." Lin Yan took a sip of tea and thought to himself, "But Lin Yan, a small flag, is like an ant. No one will care about him." This was the reason why he did not shy away from entering the city under the identity of Lin Yan. "Similarly, the Shi family will take care of the city defense personnel and remain vigilant against the Heavenly Monitoring Department." "But they don't care about ordinary people like ants in the market." “But the eyes of these ordinary people are truly everywhere.” "If we find them, we can find the Shi family." Thinking this, Lin Yan put down his teacup, picked up his bag, and walked towards the second block. The layout of Fengcheng is also to leave a distance between the two blocks. But most of the land is used to grow fruits, vegetables and grains, and a part of the area is allocated for raising poultry and livestock. Relatively speaking, it is quite remote. I saw someone following me. Lin Yan stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Wherever I go, you can follow me." "Generally speaking, ordinary people who work hard and earn enough to eat three meals a day cannot do this." "It seems like you guys are a small gang in this neighborhood. You probably know everything that happens." He waved his hand and said, "Come here, kneel down, I want to ask you something." "You are a foreigner, what an arrogant tone you have." A rough man came out and said grimly, "I wanted to wait until you leave Fengcheng before I tell you, but since you've made it clear, well... You're a stranger who came into the city alone, even if someone gets killed, we can handle it!"
Behind him, six or seven men walked out one after another. After a while. Lying down in a pile. "Yesterday or today, a group of people should have entered the city, and the soldiers defending the city would be very respectful to them." Lin Yan grabbed the ruffian's neck, lifted him up, and asked, "Do you have any impression?" The ruffian's face flushed red, his cheeks twitched, but he said nothing. "You didn't say a word. How tough." Lin Yan sighed: "Then we can only kill him." The ruffian's pupils constricted, revealing a pleading look, but he still couldn't utter a word. There was a bang. Lin Yan let go of his hand and threw him to the ground. "Chengdong, I heard that the commander of the East Gate City Defense rushed over yesterday afternoon." "Where did it go?" "In the third block, Anhua Tower." "So clear?" "My second brother heard that the commander of the East Gate City Defense was very respectful, so he wanted to curry favor with the nobleman, but he was slapped twice and came out." "Okay, considering you helped me, I won't kill you." Lin Yan said calmly: "Someone from the government office will come to see you tonight. Tell them everything you want. A few years of hard labor will save your life." Afterwards, Lin Yan went straight to the third block. But as I walked further inside, the palm of my hand felt more and more strange. He raised his head and thought to himself, "The God of Fengcheng can make all things grow. Could it be that this willow tree can still benefit from it in my palm?" The third update is being written (End of this chapter)
