Don't stand in my way

Chapter 125 Yunji Temple

"Okay, just wait a moment, we'll be there soon!"

After burning incense, a large wooden bowl and several side dishes were brought up. The side dishes looked ordinary and not exquisite, but the aroma was very rich.With a soft bang, a bowl of noodles and two fiery red fruits were placed in front of Wei Changsheng.

"Is this?" Wei Changsheng was a little surprised. He didn't seem to click on these.

"This is your first time to come to this horse-drinking city." The second brother smiled honestly, "The guest ordered a lot of dishes. This is a gift from the shop. It is my specialty. This fruit is called fire thorn fruit. , after finishing the braised meat, I have two, it’s extremely comfortable.”

Wei Changsheng smiled softly and nodded, "Well, thank you, second brother."

"Ah Si!" A customer shouted suddenly from the shop.

"Come on!"

"Your welcome, please greet me if you need anything." Seeing the young man nodding, the second brother took a few steps back and trotted into the shop.

Looking at the crowds on the street, Wei Changsheng kept chewing in his mouth. Different from the big meat buns in Yunzhou, the baked buns in this restaurant did not have that delicate feeling, but were crisper and crunchier. They were quite different from the rough and arrogant Mozhou. In order to match it, the braised food is even more unique. Without decades of craftsmanship, it would be impossible to make this kind of taste.

Night fell unknowingly in the desert, and the crowds gradually died out. On the roof of a room, Wei Changsheng leaned against the bricks, looking up at the different starry sky, and heard the gentle hum of sand foxes in his ears.The foxes are singing in the sky, the mulberry forest is in the sky, and the sun, moon and stars are in the lonely city. It is so comfortable that even the speed of refining the true energy in the body seems to be faster.

After burning the incense, his ears suddenly twitched. He straightened up and looked outside the city. He heard the sound of horse hooves, many in number and very chaotic.

Da da da!
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and with a creak, the city gate opened wide, as if a team had entered the city. The lights in the city gradually went out from far to near, but it was a bit gloomy.

Wei Changsheng was confused when he heard a few whispers coming from the house below him.

"Master, are they here again?!" The speaker looked like a middle-aged woman, with a cautiousness unique to her age.

"Shh! Don't talk! They will leave after they capture enough people." A voice that seemed sad and relaxed followed, and then the room fell into silence.

After a dozen breaths, a corner of the city suddenly became noisy. Cries, roars, swords slashing, and blood splashing all sounded together. After more than half an hour, it gradually became quiet.

Crunch!

The city gate reopened, and the sound of horse hooves faded away and gradually disappeared.

Early the next morning, there were restaurants in the city.

"The guest arrived very early, and the shop opened just in time." Not long after the waiter opened the shop door, he saw the luxurious young man coming to the door yesterday, and hurriedly ran forward and bowed to greet him.

When Wei Changsheng sat down, the second brother brought a bowl of warm water, and said softly, "The shop has broth, freshly baked helmet cakes, and homemade side dishes in the morning. Would you like some of this?"

Seeing Wei Changsheng nod, the younger brother had a slight smile on his face, and within a moment, he sent them over one by one.

Maybe there were not many customers in the morning, so the second brother leaned at the door and watched the passers-by when he suddenly heard a cry.

"Second Brother, what happened last night? How could there be fighting noises in the city?" In the morning in the desert, there was still a bit of coolness, and Wei Changsheng became more energetic after a mouthful of hot soup. He turned to the younger brother beside him and asked.

"This" the younger brother hesitated a little. He looked up and looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he came closer and whispered.

"The group of people last night were originally monks from Yunji Temple, eighty miles north of the city. They have always been kind to others and often helped victims. For some reason, their temperament suddenly changed a few years ago, and they came to the city every January to rob a few people. "

The second brother lowered his head a little, "According to some past guests, Yunji Temple was occupied by an unknown monk, who enslaved the monks in the temple and searched for boys and girls for him every year."

"There is no one to take care of the monks in the city?" Wei Changsheng was a little surprised. There must be a few monks in Yinma City within a radius of more than ten miles.

"Care? How to care?" The younger brother looked a little sad, "That monk is said to have great magical powers. The strongest monk in the city is only in the True Yuan realm. There were people who wanted to take care of it before, but they were casually killed by that monk the next day. .”

Wei Changsheng suddenly thought of something and chuckled, "I'm afraid someone is deliberately maintaining the prosperity of this city to attract outsiders. It's better to kill others than yourself."

There was a glimmer of gloom in the eyes of the little second brother, and then he laughed cheerfully and said in a low voice, "The guest is joking, the city has always been so prosperous, if the guests are slow to use, the younger one will leave first."

With a bit of non-committal, Wei Changsheng finished his breakfast without haste, put down a few coins, and turned around to leave.

Outside the city, Wei Changsheng sat cross-legged on his horse. Looking from a distance, he felt like a black mist shrouded Yinma City. He couldn't help but sneered, "This is the human heart." He pulled the reins lightly, and Mo Longju suddenly He raised his hooves and trotted away into the distance.

Unknowingly, as one man and one horse traveled more than three hundred miles, a fishy smell came. Wei Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the dilapidated villages and towns ahead.

The town is about a mile in diameter, with broken walls and ruins, most of which have collapsed. There are occasionally strong and upright beams with some sparks remaining, as if they had just experienced a fire.

Bang!
As he walked along the central street of the town, the beam of a house on the left suddenly broke, scaring away a large number of rot crows.Several crawling mummies were exposed in the house, with no trace of their original appearance, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.

"Looking at this, it seems like an evil cultivator passed by here and captured most of the living creatures in the village." Wei Changsheng frowned and covered his mouth and nose with his true energy to get rid of the stench.

"Hey!"

A sigh came from behind him suddenly, Wei Changsheng had noticed it a long time ago, and without turning his head, he said, "Why is this brother sighing?"

Swish!
A young man appeared next to him, wearing a blue shirt and a turban on his head, holding a book and a sword, taking one step at a time, and his speed was no slower than Mo Longju.

"I'm just sighing. It's really sad that the people in the village live and work in peace and contentment, but they suffer unreasonable disasters." The boy in blue shirt kept shaking his head and sighing.

Wei Changsheng glanced sideways, saw the young man's elegant demeanor, and a dark pattern of the word "Yi" on the corner of his clothes. He smiled slightly, "It turns out that he is a senior from Dayi Academy. Dayi Academy is tens of thousands of miles away. Why are you here?"

"I've always been kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see such a tragedy. Since I've been patrolling here today, I must kill these evil cultivators!" The young man looked at Wei Changsheng with a righteous look on his face and said, "Senior brother, do you want to go with me? "

Wei Changsheng looked the young man up and down for a while, and saw that the young man had strong features, a square face, and a bookish look all over his body. He sniffed lightly and suddenly smiled, "Senior brother, please help yourself. I have some important matters."

"Senior brother, don't you have any compassion?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then became angry and left with a wave of his sleeves, "I'm ashamed to be associated with you."
