long night walk

Chapter 726 Xiao An
"Master, why don't you take it along with you? Seeing how it is following closely, it seems that it is in love with the master, and it doesn't want to be separated from the master for a moment." It is extra tolerant and caring.

Who would fall in love with a brat like him!

The little fox sitting on the tortoise shell couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

In this regard, Bailian didn't have any objection, anyway, the fox was a small lump, and it was easy to put it in his arms like a snow dumpling.

Look at the posture of this little fox, even if he didn't take it with him, he would ride a tortoise all the way to the capital of Zeguo.

After landing and resting for a while, to replenish his spiritual power, Bai Lian rose again with his sword.

Two days later, under the guidance of the bat demon, Bai Lian successfully arrived in the capital of Zeguo.

Daze Kingdom is one of the three majestic kingdoms of Tianyao at that time. Taixuanzong was enshrined as the religion of the country, and the city of Kyoto was named "Yunzhong". It has a history of 5000 years ago.

It has been continuously repaired and strengthened by various dynasties and kingdoms for many years, forming a Zhou Chang Huali in history.

Naturally, the power of the world is not in vain. The scale of "Yunzhong", the capital city of Kyoto alone, is enough to compare the area of ​​a small country, and it can be called a well-deserved "Empire".

Yunzhong is different from Xianling City, it is the capital of mortals, and there is no strange rule of no-flying.

It's just that when outsiders enter the city, they need to be checked and verified by the guards at the gate of the city.

With Bailian's current cultivation base, it is actually not difficult to escape directly into the city without trouble, but if he wants to stay in the city for a few days and carefully check the deer's whereabouts, it is better not to cause other troubles, and honestly abide by the rules of the human capital better.

The capital of Zeguo is a prosperous city, and there are a lot of mortals entering and leaving Cloud City every day. Bai Lian has a long queue at the gate of the city. There are not many soldiers guarding the gate of the city, there are seven in total.

To Bai Li'an's surprise, all the soldiers guarding the city gate were at the peak of Kaiyuan.

The Kaiyuan Realm is already a strong man in the capital of Fanguo, but he is used to guard the city gate.

Two of the sergeants did not hold weapons in their hands, but each held a compass as a light, shining on the body of the person entering the city, and sometimes the gemstone on the compass would emit amber yellow light and flash continuously, and the two sergeants would stop them for interrogation people, ask carefully.

The reaction of the compass seems to be because it has captured an aura that does not belong to humans.

It was a caravan that was stopped. The carriages in the caravan were covered with heavy curtains, and there were occasional slight moaning and coughing sounds from under the curtain.

The curtain that covered it seemed to be an ordinary brocade Shu embroidery, but Bai Lian saw the meaning of the formation in the embroidery, which was clearly blocking the evil spirit emanating from the carriage.

The sergeant had a serious face and asked the businessman to open the carriage immediately for interrogation.

The leader of the businessman looked embarrassed, took out a small jade tablet from his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is a batch of goods ordered by the Hongnong Yang family. I came from the West Garden. On the way here, a few died of exhaustion, if the curtain is lifted and the light is seen at this moment, it must be a good time for these people to watch, if one or two die, I am afraid it is difficult for you and me to explain."

The sergeant couldn't help but look at the small jade badge in his hand, and looked at the caravan's carriage with complicated eyes.

The Hongnong Yang family is a well-known powerful family in Kyoto, with considerable influence both in the court and in the military.

The sergeant frowned and frowned, knowing that with this jade badge added to his body today, he would have to violate the military order once, so he closed his eyes and let him go.

But in the past few months, the caravans have entered the city one by one, ignoring the rules. If they are in a small town in a remote area, it will be fine. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can't control it.

But here is in the cloud, at the foot of the emperor, selling monsters is a shady business after all.

Now that the Immortal Gate is prosperous, all the countries advocate peace and put an end to fighting, although the monster race has always been born for weapons since ancient times.

But the immortal venerable above the nine heavens did not clearly point out that the freedom and life of these monsters should be deprived of their use by humans.

At the beginning, the Immortal Venerable imprinted the demons in order to check and balance the demon clan, so that people and demons on Tianyao Continent can coexist peacefully.

If you want monsters to become your own spirits of Taoist artifacts, you must be willing to make a contract with them.

But after so many years, on the surface, all the immortal sects are obeying the order of the immortal, but there are many examples of hunting and killing demons secretly, and forcing the demon clan to submit.

It's just that the middle and lower levels of the various immortal sects covered up and cleaned up these messy methods very cleanly, and didn't let the real superiors hold the handle.

The head of the three gods of Heaven and Dao can only hear some speculative news, and there is no real evidence, and it is not easy to make trouble.

The country also has laws that prohibit hunting and selling monsters, but they, low-level sergeants whose arms can't twist their thighs, dare to compete with those dignitaries in Kyoto.

The two sergeants cursed secretly in their hearts, but they were also powerless, so they could only wave their hands and let them go, watching the businessman's despicable face lead the crowd into the city.

Bai Lian found that there were many caravans like this, and he saw three or four caravans in the long queue.

And behind these caravans, there is obviously a background. Every time they enter the city, there is no need to conduct a thorough investigation. They all have their own tokens, which makes the guards guarding the city gates dare not speak out.

The Tianxi Sword Sect really deserves to be the Heavenly Dao Sect. Just recruiting disciples and disciples once made all the countries go crazy.

"Did the master see those caravans? The monsters that can be transported to the capital of Zeguo are basically high-level spirit monsters, and they are probably transported to the underground dark city to be auctioned by various families." The small voice of the bat demon came from Baili'an. ringing in his sleeves.

Bai Lian nodded, knowing that the recruiting of disciples by the Tianxi Sword Sect has boosted the chances of great families in various countries to make a fortune.

The team finally talked about Bai Lian, and it was no accident that the compass in the sergeant's hand changed color when it shone on him.

Bai Lian didn't take chances, and entrusted Bat Demon and Xiaohu to the sergeant for questioning.

There are a lot of monks in the capital of Zeguo, and these sergeants are already commonplace for some people who keep monsters and pets.

After confirming that the two that Bai Lian was carrying were just little monsters, they would definitely not be able to cause any trouble in the city, and the sergeant didn't make too much trouble, so he let him in.

As soon as he entered the capital, Bai Lian paid special attention to the whereabouts of those caravans. He saw the chariots and horses a few corners away, and his breath disappeared without a trace.

After all, this is the capital of Zeguo, this group of people would not dare to sell demon slaves on the street as unscrupulously as in the border town, this is against the laws of the empire.

According to what the bat demon said, the underground dark city is a very accessible place. If there is no way out, it may be difficult to find the place where the dark city is located even if you walk all over the cloud.

After entering Yunzhong City, the capital of Ze Country, Bai Lian knew that there were some things that could not be rushed. The sky was getting late, and the capital of Xiong Kingdom was still bustling at night, and everywhere was lively.

Green lanterns and candles, pedestrians weaving, lion dance juggling, tall buildings fighting wine, the scenery in the city is unique everywhere, fireworks and firecrackers are set off on the banks of the arch bridge from time to time, and fireflies are lit, gathering all living beings in the world.

Bai Lian found a random snack stand and sat down, ordered two bowls of bean curd, one salty and one sweet, the salty portion was given to Bat Demon Gu Ying, and the sweet portion was given to Fox Xiaohua.

Gu Ying, the bat demon, was not picky and would eat anything, but the little fox just sniffed the bean curd in the bowl, then turned his head away, showing no interest at all.

From the corner of the eye of a pair of fox eyes, it is full of words, "This kind of poor and humble food is also kindly given to our generation to eat!" '

By the time Bat Demon finished eating his bowl of salted bean curd, the bean curd in his bowl hadn't moved yet, and was blown cold by the evening wind.

The person who opened this small bean curd stall was a young girl, probably about seventeen, eighty-nine years old, and she was born extremely thin. At first glance, her complexion was a sick look that had not eaten for a long time.

The slender wrist sticking out from under the plain cloth looks as if it would break if folded, it looks not much more shapely than a child's wrist.

It was already dark at this time, but she managed the bean curd stall by herself.

There are three tables and a few old yellow chairs. The business is good. After all, in this city full of flowers, the nighttime snack vendors are always better than the daytime business.

There seemed to be no one in her family, and she was busy alone, and sometimes met a few good people who were not talkative, and was reprimanded with a few words, but she just bowed her head and smiled, never arguing with anyone.

That girl seemed to mature much earlier than girls of the same age.

When she saw that the bean curd in front of the little fox next to Bai Lian hadn't touched a mouthful, she took a second look curiously, then brought a small bowl from under the table and brought it to Bai Lian's table.

The small bowl originally contained a small chicken leg, which had been warming under the stove, and was still steaming when it was served.

She made two gestures like Bai Lian, indicating that the chicken legs were given to the little fox, and no money was charged.

It was only then that Bai Lian realized that she couldn't speak, so he fumbled out some broken silver from his sleeve and gave it to her.

But the girl waved her hands again and again to signal that she didn't need it, and just looked at the little fox lying on the table with timid eyes. Those quiet eyes were a little more girlish and lively.

want to touch.

The two words were clearly written in the eyes.

Bai Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the chicken leg must have been a dinner she had saved by frugality, and she just traded it for petting the little fox.

The little fox who was holding a 'noble and glamorous' air in front of the sweet bean curd a moment ago has now used both paws, holding the chicken leg and gnawing on the ground, drooling, and the snow-white hair on his chest has been dyed. A dirty soy sauce yellow.

Foxes like to eat chickens, it seems that the words are true.

Of course, Bai Lian would not let it eat for free, and pushed its thick, round buttocks, signaling that it had to earn its own rations.

When his butt was touched by him, the little fox reacted greatly. He grinned at Bai Lian and stared fiercely, but it's a pity that his small size has no deterrent power.

It's just that when the little hand of the dumb girl timidly touched it, its reaction was not as intense as being touched by Bailian. The small nose sniffed under her palm, making the dumb girl itchy. burst into laughter.

The dumb girl selling tofu curds was stroking the little fox's head while looking at Bai Lian curiously. Maybe she saw that his attire was not from a local, so she made a polite gesture to say hello.

Bai Lian sat here for a long time, originally he wanted to ask her if he knew how to get to the Marquis of the Lin family, but she was unable to speak, fearing that she might not be able to draw clearly, so he just asked her a few simple greetings.

"Xiao'an, serve two bowls of salted bean curd, sir, I'm hungry." At this moment, a familiar voice came from the crowd on the street.

The sound of "Xiao'an" really made Baili'an's heart tremble, and for a short moment, he felt a sense of trance.

His body tensed subconsciously, and his eyes followed the sound, but it was Lin Zheng's young master who had returned from the devil world, stepping forward, with a treasured knife hanging from his waist, wearing a brocade and purple robe embroidered with gold trim, and his eyebrows were full of nobility. The compelling bright red forehead is just like the high-spirited nobleman's attire.

Seeing Lord Lin Zheng, Bai Lian's stiff body slowly relaxed.

The 'Xiao'an' was naturally not called by him, but by the dumb girl beside him.

Because at this moment, Lin Zheng's piercing and bright eyes were fixedly looking at her alone from a long distance away, seeing no one else in his eyes, such straightforward and sincere eyes, he was very much like this little hou Grandpa's behavior.

But the mute girl called "Xiao An" was not so happy on the face.

The corner of her mouth that was still smiling a moment ago sank when she saw Master Lin Xiaohou. Even if she was bullied by those local bullies, she would not have any cold face.

At this moment, the emotions of disgust and boredom are vividly expressed.

She put down the little fox in her hand, and didn't even care about the guests on the storefront. With a cold face, she turned around and walked quickly to the simple wooden house behind her.

Lin Xiaohou seemed to have encountered a lot of obstacles here, and drove up with the car familiarly. With a rascal face, he inserted a foot into the crack of the door and refused to let her close the door.

"Eh? I said you little girl, why did you leave after I came here? Didn't you hear me, I'm hungry, do you want to eat the bean curd you made?"

Bai Li'an's expression was weird for a moment. In the Demon Realm, although Lin Zheng's young master was as stubborn as a donkey, he was also a polite and measured person. He was always gentle with others, and he rarely acted recklessly except in front of Ye Shu.

Today, it is a rare thing to bully a dumb girl with a dandyism.

That dumb girl is also interesting, for ordinary poor people, being able to join a famous family like the Hou's Mansion, they will have no worries about food and clothing, and live a prosperous life.

But the disgust in her eyes was not the kind of pretentiousness that wanted to attract Lin Zheng's attention, but the downright disgust, just like the disgusting look of a little fox when he looked at Douhua.

Seeing Lin Zheng's rogue attitude, tears of anger welled up in her eyes, she wanted to curse, but she was dumb, full of anger and didn't know where to vent it.

Seeing that half of Lin Zheng's body was about to squeeze in, she was so angry that she casually took a candle from the candlestick. She didn't care about the hot wax splashing on her arm, and bent down stubbornly. He was about to burn Lin Zheng's clothes.

Seeing this, Lin Zheng jumped back a step like a monkey, but he didn't feel sorry for his clothes, and his expression changed drastically, and he called out, "Quickly let go, you can't touch that burning wax oil like this, Doesn’t it hurt when it drips on your hands, you fool! Good, good! I don’t eat bean curd, I don’t eat bean curd, you’re going to burn yourself.”
