Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes

The entire city of Qiulong Mansion is twenty or thirty times the size of Baojiao County. Even the city walls are ten feet high. The people who are walking in and out of the city gate seem to be trapped by the city gate. Swallowing groups of ants.

Strictly speaking, the courtyard that Yaowangtang placed for Chen Ku's family was not the most luxurious area in Qiulong Mansion, but the advantage was that the courtyard was large enough, with a total of more than a dozen large guest rooms.

This ensures that the accommodation of these relatives and friends brought by Chen Ku from Baojiao County will not appear crowded.

After simply settling everyone.

Chen Kucai finally talked to his family in detail, and he had to talk about Li Yuancheng's lost shoulder.

Li Yuancheng also did not expect that he would be able to leave Baojiao Prison alive and reunite with his wife. He only told the story of that night in a low voice.

When the Ping An Dao demon sneaked in from the tunnel in the city, Li Yuancheng happened to be on duty in the arresting room. He said he was on duty, but in fact he was drinking and chatting with a few brothers.

I never expected that such a big change would happen.

When Ma Tianlin led a group of Ping'an Dao yellow scarf Taoist soldiers into the county government office, their drunken brothers were locked up on the spot.

After all, Li Yuancheng had internal energy cultivation. After he woke up, he subconsciously grabbed a knife and fought with the demon group. In the end, he was completely at a disadvantage after only one fight.

Those Dao soldiers were all selected elites. Dozens of them swarmed forward, but he was defeated and captured without showing much strength at all.

Speaking of this, Li Yuancheng gave a wry smile and said: "In the past few years since I retired from the border army, I have often fought against thieves, and it was often our policemen who had the numerical advantage. As a result, I was completely at a disadvantage this time, which made me dream back. On the battlefield, no matter how superb your martial arts skills are, you will never be able to withstand the terrifying pressure of the human sea tactics. In just three or five breaths, my knife was curled and a gap appeared...and then I lost my arm and was thrown into the battlefield. In jail."

The wife looked at her husband's empty shoulders, feeling heartbroken and bursting into tears.

Chen Ku had already arranged some elixirs for Li Yuancheng's internal and external use, which brought blood to his face. He couldn't help but ask: "How are you going to deal with the Ping'an Tao demon who puts your brother-in-law and officials like you in prison?"

Li Yuancheng was silent for a moment and said: "I heard that when the imperial army arrives, we will push all the government officials to the city gate tower to behead and sacrifice the flag, in order to intimidate the dynasty and boost their own morale."

Chen Ku thought that he had not seen any officers and soldiers on the way to Qiulong Mansion with everyone, so he sighed and said: "It has been five or six days since Baojiao County fell. Logically speaking, the person who came from Fucheng Ye Zhongdutou and Shenji Battalion, who were sent to deal with the demons, should have responded in the first two days, but now there is no trace. "

"Baojiao County has fallen, and the monsters can defend the city. With only the Thousand Divine Machine Battalion in Ye Dutou, I'm afraid they won't be able to take the city back easily. I guess that at this moment, the adults and senior officers in Qiulong Mansion , they must all be discussing how to prepare their military strength and fight a fully assured battle of conquest," Li Yuancheng said.

Chen Ku agreed with this. The incense golden light array that gathered the incense beliefs of the people in the city could not be easily torn apart by the masters of the Seventh Realm. It was like putting an iron shell on Baojiao County, plus the inside of the city The number of Ping An Dao demon soldiers has increased seven to eight times, reaching nearly ten thousand people. It is indeed not something that the Shenji Battalion can easily take down.

"I don't know if we have a chance to go back to Baojiao County again?" My sister-in-law whispered from the side.

Chen Ku wanted to say that he had contacted his eldest brother again, but thinking about the information provided by Chen Xin that the Yuan Kingdom would soon go south, he fell silent and said:

"Look at the court."

Li Yuancheng also sighed, knowing that even if the imperial court could regain Baojiao City again, the city must have been destroyed by demons, and there would be no point in going back.

When Chen Ku saw this, he said no more and said:

"You guys should rest at home. I have arrived at Qiulong Mansion, and I should go say hello to the masters at Yaowang Hall to report that they are safe."

"Oh, by the way, after the shopkeeper Kou Shao settled us down, he gave us an address, saying that the main altar of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association is located." My sister-in-law dug out a note from the box in the distance.

Chen Ku took the note, remembered the location, and said to his sister-in-law: "Then I will report to the Three Emperors Patriarch Association first. I will ask my sister-in-law and eldest sister to accommodate this large group of people at home. Don't be frugal in all expenses." ”

In addition to some of his own extra income, he left all the income from Chenji Iron Shop to his old mother. When his family escaped from Baojiao County, he also took the money with him. After more than half a year, the iron shop was closed. Having accumulated 30,000 to 40,000 silver, even if it is placed in Qiulong Mansion, he is still a wealthy household. It is no problem to take care of the food and clothing of dozens of people.

The sister-in-law nodded to reassure Chen Ku. She had heard of these people in the courtyard before in the city. They were all big shots in the past and had helped their family a lot. Now, even though they are in decline, they have to protect them even more. dignity.

In this way, Chen Ku left the yard first.

Walk to the street of Qiulong Mansion.

Only then did I finally begin to take a serious look at the "prefectural city" in this borderland. The streets were extremely wide, and the classical buildings on both sides of the street were also very tall. They were basically three or four stories high, revealing the prosperity of a prefectural city.

He had come to Qiulong Mansion before as Erlang, and brought back a memory of looking down at Qiulong Mansion from above, maintaining a four-way pattern of "rich in the east, noble in the west, poor in the south, and humble in the north".

The location of the Three Emperors Ancestors' Association of Qiulong Mansion is in the wealthy area of ​​East City. On the way to the owner of Yaowang Hall in Qiulong Association, Chen Ku heard many discussions from passers-by and vendors along the way.

"That hateful Ping'an Dao monster, he couldn't just preach properly, but had to rebel. Now, the price of rice, flour, grain and oil has all increased in the past few days. Buying a bag of rice costs three bags of the previous price!"

"Alas, who said it wasn't true? Once a war breaks out and the situation is turbulent, money will be worthless. I heard Mr. Zhao sighing that day. I should have stocked up more gold and silver. Now their family's cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings are all falling in price. If a war really breaks out, nothing is as valuable as gold and silver."

This is the discussion of ordinary people on the road.

The closer you get to the rich area, the more voices you hear from the martial arts world. Some people who pass by can obviously be seen to have martial arts skills.

Chen Ku met at least eight or nine of the top four masters in Baojiao County in just a short walk. He also heard two martial arts people at the tea stall sighing:

"The news of the appearance of the Xia Wang treasure was sudden, and it disappeared suddenly. I finally got here from Longkou Prefecture, thinking that even if I didn't get any big treasure, I could just have a bite of soup. As a result, I heard that the Xia Wang treasure underground palace disappeared when I was halfway there!"

"Now there are rumors in the martial arts world that Ping An Dao took advantage of the geographical advantage and directly blocked the place and took the Xia Wang treasure!"

"Is it true?"

"Ping An Dao is already a big problem. What if he gets the Xia Wang treasure again? What will happen?"

"Who said it's not! If Ping An Dao gets the Xia Wang treasure again, I guess it will be If they can take down our Qiulong Mansion, we will all become the "gods" of Pingan Dao. "

"I heard that the people trapped in Baojiao County are miserable. They are forced to chant mantras and scriptures every day!"

"Is Pingan Dao really so evil? Didn't I hear that Grandmaster Qin Yuxian was there before? Even the Grandmaster couldn't suppress them?"

"The Grandmaster is only one person after all. Pingan Dao has more than 10,000 followers. I heard that its leader is also very skilled. Now there is no news about the Grandmaster... I think it's probably... not good!"

"What? Do you mean, is the Grandmaster also in trouble?"

Listening to the discussion of these people, Chen Ku looked at his senior brother who was sitting cross-legged and breathing in the stone hole in the Xiawang Realm, and couldn't help sighing.

Soon after, Chen Ku came to a huge clubhouse in this rich area.

At first glance, it was indeed magnificent, and it was not comparable to the small Medicine King Hall in Baojiao County. The gate of a guild hall was even more luxurious than the county government office in Baojiao County.

The most important thing was that Chen Ku found that there were portraits of two door gods on the two beams of the gate of this guild hall, and it actually exuded a strong spiritual aura.

"Who is it?"

At this time, at the door of the Three Emperors Ancestors Guild Hall, two guards in dark blue robes shouted at Chen Ku:

"You are not allowed to stay at the door of the Three Emperors Ancestors Guild."

This was different from the attitude of the Medicine King Hall to open the door to do business. The Medicine King Hall was just a small business run by several owners of the Three Emperors Ancestors Guild, while the Three Emperors Ancestors Guild was the general association of the "Xinglin Industry" in the entire Qiulong Mansion. It did not do business itself, but controlled the life and death of large and small pharmacies and medical clinics.

Chen Ku did not make things difficult for the two guards. He just smiled and bowed: "I am Chen Ku, from the Medicine King Hall in Baojiao County. I am here to look for everyone in the medicine hall. Please go in and tell them."

"Chen Ku?"

Unexpectedly, the two guards who heard his name felt familiar at first, until Chen Ku explained that he was from the Medicine King Hall in Baojiao County. Suddenly, they were shocked and walked down the steps:

"Are you the young master Chen who aroused the reaction of the champion Hou Xianbing in our Fucheng Wu Temple not long ago?"

At this moment, the other guilds on the street also looked here after hearing the voice, and looked at the young man at the door of the Three Emperors Ancestor Guild Hall in surprise and shock.

"Is he Chen Ku?"

"The martial artist from Baojiao County who won two first prizes and became a scholar?"

"Pei Qingzhi, the first young man in our city, was defeated by this man?"

"It is said that many forces in the city are waiting for him to come to the city so that they can offer him an olive branch to recruit him."

"If the rumors about this boy are true, how can the Three Emperors Patriarch Association keep such a rare genius? After all, this Xinglin General Gang is only the 18th ranked martial arts association among the 36 martial arts associations. That's all."

"I heard that even the number one underworld figure, the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King of Liangshan, wants to recruit him to Liangshan."

Chen Ku was very sharp-eyed and could hear all the discussions within a few hundred meters. He was shocked and thought to himself:

"How come I'm already so famous in Qiulong Mansion when I just came here for the first time? Even the number one underworld figure is paying attention to me?"

He didn't know what kind of person this Tower-Bearing Heavenly King, the number one underworld figure, was.

But judging from the fact that his senior brother Qin Yu was praised as the number one white master of Qiulong Mansion, the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King was probably not much weaker in strength and reputation than his senior brother.

After all...

The word "Heavenly King".

It immediately reminded him of the four Heavenly Kings under the Xia Wang, each of whom was a hero that shook the world.

But just when Chen was thinking hard about this.

Wow~

I saw that the door of the Three Emperors Patriarch Guild Hall opened instantly, and a dozen people walked out of the guild hall.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

An old man with white hair and a childlike face was walking among them. Before anyone could get close, his sonorous voice, like a copper bell, shook the sky.

"Chen Ku, Chen Ku! I and the big guys from the Three Emperors Patriarch Guild Hall have been waiting for you in Qiulong Mansion for too long!"

"The calmness of this old man's aura... gives me the feeling that among the people I have ever seen, he is only inferior to the master and senior brother. It is the seventh-level Tang Yulin who I killed with a big formation. Although the state is older than this, He is tall, but his foundation is not as deep as this old man." Chen Ku immediately judged the old man's general cultivation level from his breath.

Only one step away from entering the Seven Realms Yu Gang Realm?

Is that the peak of the six realms, the stage where the internal formation has been perfectly developed?

Chen Ku changed his mind, but immediately looked at a few familiar people behind the old man, master Yang Luchan, Shang Yunfang, as well as Kou Ming and the big shopkeeper Qin Sifan.

Qin Sifan immediately introduced Chen Ku: "Chen Ku, this is Senior Fu Baicao, the president of our Three Emperors Patriarch Association. He has known about you since you eradicated Chaitiepu and has been waiting for you to come. Qiu Long Mansion, now I finally see you.”

The president, Fu Baicao, is one of the leaders of the Thirty-Six Qiu Long Martial Arts Association.

Chen Ku immediately raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Junior Chen Ku, please pay homage to the president."

"It's too harsh to call me president. I'm one hundred and sixty-eight years old this year. Just call me Fu Lao." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

One hundred and sixty-eight?

Isn't that even older than the Epoch Dynasty?

Chen Ku felt awe-struck and quickly followed the old man's wishes and respectfully called him 'Fu Lao'.

After Fu Baicao saw that Chen Ku had changed his title, he immediately stepped forward, took Chen Ku's arm, and said, "No more words, let's go in first. What's the point of standing outside?"

Chen Ku glanced at the two masters and saw them smiling, as if to indicate that the old man could be trusted.

Enter the Three Emperors Patriarch Guild Hall.

Chen Ku was directly placed in the first place on the right hand, which made him a little flattered, because even Qin Sifan and his master were sitting with him. (End of chapter)
