Chapter 6 Human nature is inherently evil, and those who are good are also hypocrites

The wilderness, the ruined temple, the cold light, the shadow of the knife, intertwine in all directions.

The wind was bitter and cold.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the war is imminent.

At this moment, a woman in ragged clothes came out from among the traveling merchants opposite.

"Brother Six, is that you?"

The woman looked at Xiao Liu with surprise on her face. Her appearance instantly broke the tense situation of the confrontation.

"You are!"

Xiao Liu who was stopped was also puzzled.

"I'm Yulan, Yang Yulan."

The woman wiped her face with her hands, wiped off some dust, and pulled off the veil, revealing a delicate face.

"You are, Yulan, are you really Yulan?"

Xiao Liu finally recognized the woman, and was pleasantly surprised in an instant. He turned his head and said to Ji Chen, "Scholar, he is an acquaintance. Yulan is from our village. We came to Fenglin Town to ask for a living. I became a government servant, and she went The Yang family will be a maid."

Seeing Ji Chen's indifference, Xiao Liu became a little anxious, and said pleadingly: "It's really my own, Master Xiucai!"

Ji Chen stared at the woman named Yulan, pointed at the traveling merchants with a knife, and asked, "What's the relationship between them and you?"

Yulan quickly explained: "They are traveling merchants hired by the Yang government office. We could have rushed to Fenglin Town before dark, but we encountered bandits on the way and a fight broke out, so we delayed the time and had to stay overnight. Hurry up."

After Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chen eagerly, she was a little puzzled why Xiao Liu and the other yamen servants cared so much about this scholar's opinion.

In Fenglin Town, except for a few major forces, these policemen can almost walk sideways.

Xiao Liu also looked at Ji Chen anxiously, "Scholar, you are really one of us, I can guarantee it with my life."

A few people at the head of Zhao Ban also offered to help, "Scholar, you are all from your own family, there is no need to do this, the Yang family is a prominent family in Fenglin Town, so it is not easy to offend."

They didn't want to conflict with this group of people, let alone offend the Yang family.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment, but finally put away the knife.

Bantou Zhao and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. It is naturally best to avoid a conflict.

In the borderlands, don't provoke the traveling merchants casually. They may be traveling merchants, or they may be border bandits.

Especially since there are people from the Yang family among the foot traders, they cannot be offended.

Seeing Ji Chen put away the knife, those men also put away the knife.

"Yulan, come in."

Xiao Liu hurriedly called Yulan to come in and sit down, and served him a bowl of hot broth.

Yulan put down her sword, and first brought a bowl to the woman with her, "Miss, eat while it's hot!"

The young lady was not polite either, she put the sword aside, picked up the bowl and began to eat, it was obvious that she was already starving.

Xiao Liu took a look at Ji Chen, seeing that he didn't mean to blame him, he filled another bowl for Yulan.

Ji Chen didn't pay attention to it, but held the knife and leaned on the altar to doze off, actually checking his own attributes.

Lifespan: 80
Strength: Foundation

Kung Fu: Subduing Dragon Mind Method - Level [-]

Knife Technique: Hanging Knife Technique - Dacheng (can be improved)

Killing: 400
Reputation: 53
The killing points have accumulated to [-], and the prestige has also increased a few points.

These points of prestige should come from Zhao Bantou and the others.

Hanging Knife has been shown to improve.

In fact, the hanging sword technique could have been improved a long time ago, but Ji Chen has been suppressing it and has not improved.

He wanted to save the killing point to improve the dragon-subduing mentality, but the current environment was beyond his control, so it was better to improve the wearing saber technique first, at least it could increase his strength a bit.

He had an intuition that Yulan was lying, and that these people were not traveling merchants at all.

So, Ji Chen got up and prepared to walk out of the temple.

"Scholar, where are you going?" Leader Zhao asked curiously.

"Great solution!"

Ji Chen left a word and walked towards the outside of the temple, stopped after just two steps, and said to Bantou Zhao, Xiao Liu and the others: "Don't say what you shouldn't say."

His words were mainly aimed at Xiao Liu, afraid that he would say that they were here to kill demons.

Leader Zhao and the others are fairly stable, only Xiao Liu is an uncertain factor.

However, Xiaoliu's heart was on Yulan, so he just nodded, and didn't know if he didn't understand.

Ji Chen walked out of the temple gate and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yulan glanced at the door, feeling slightly dissatisfied, so she asked in a very low voice, "Little Sixth Brother, why are you so afraid of him, isn't he just a down-and-out scholar?"

Because Ji Chen was dressed in ordinary clothes, dressed as a scholar, and holding a sword wrapped in cloth strips, he looked like a down-and-out scholar.

Since Ji Chen's horizontal knife is straight, Yulan naturally recognizes it as a sword.

She has seen too many such down-and-out scholars.

The imperial court established the country with martial arts, Emperor Xia swept away the monster emperors in all directions, pacified the eight forbidden lands, overthrew the Huayu God Dynasty, established the country in the imperial capital, and named himself Xia.

In the 36th year of the Great Xia, the imperial court began to emphasize literature, and the status of scholars gradually improved, and there was a wave of reading throughout the Great Xia.

But not all scholars have a good place to go. Many people who are suffering from hunger and cold because of reading, can't let go of their identity as scholars to do coolies, and there are many people who starve to death.

As a result, many coolie peddlers ridiculed scholars. Fortunately, they did not choose to study at the beginning, otherwise they would be like those down-and-out scholars, unable to let go of their bodies to do coolies, and starved to death.

So from Yulan's point of view, Little Sixth Brother's status as a yamen servant completely ignores a scholar like Ji Chen.

When Xiao Liu heard this, he hurriedly hissed.

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xiucai is a man of great ability, and we come out with him this time to kill demons."

"Slaying demons?" Yulan was surprised, "That scholar actually has such abilities."

"No, just now, Master Xiucai beheaded a powerful monster."

Although the voice of their conversation was very small, it was still overheard by the traveling merchants.Even the leaders of Team Zhao heard it, and it was too late for them to stop it.

"Cough cough!"

Bantou Zhao coughed and reminded Xiao Liu not to talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of his mouth.

Xiao Liu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Bantou, and said, "It's okay, Yulan is her own, she won't talk nonsense."

Yulan turned her head to look at the young lady among the traveling merchants, then looked outside the door, and asked, "You guys threw that corpse out there?"

Xiao Liu nodded, and then explained how the county magistrate sent a reward post, and Ji Chen accepted the post to kill demons.

Yulan covered her mouth and exclaimed!

"2000 taels of silver, that's so much, it's enough for an ordinary family to live for most of their lives. If they can make arrangements, buy some land, real estate, and stores, and they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

"Who says it's not!" There was a hint of envy and jealousy in Xiao Liu's tone.

At the same age, Ji Chen is already a demon slayer, but he is still receiving a monthly salary of three taels of silver.

People are more mad than people!
