My transformed system is poisonous

Chapter 86 Chapter 85: Scholar (please vote for recommendation~)

The attire of Shi Lan and his group was a bit eye-catching in this Purple Flame City. Not long after they left, they were blocked.

There were about seven or eight people blocking the way of Shi Lan and others, all wearing green and black coats and robes.

The leader was a strong man who looked less than forty years old, with a medium build and round arms. He was wearing a short coat, his arms were exposed, and his muscles were bulging.

"Everyone, if my master wants to inquire about something, please come with me to the City Lord's Mansion."

The leading man took a step forward and said something to the people on the horse, his tone was quite polite.

Shi Lan looked at a few people and said, "Lead the way."

Not long after, the group stopped in front of a gate tower that was nearly five feet high. The courtyard wall was white and the gate was nearly three feet wide.

"Please also dismount."

"Wang Ning will follow me in, and the others will stay here."

Shi Lan turned around and said something before getting off his horse.

The rest of the demon-suppressing army turned over and dismounted at the same time. Their uniform movements made the leader's pupils shrink slightly.

"Please follow me." The man said, turned around and led the way.

Following the man into the courtyard, Shi Lan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she looked at the carved beams and painted buildings, rockery and flowing water. The palace of the Lord of Zi Yan City, not to mention anything else, just the magnificent decoration, was beyond her comprehension. , is second to none.

After walking for about half an hour, Shi Lan followed the man to a somewhat remote courtyard. There was a giant tree of unknown species in the courtyard. Its branches had poked out of the courtyard wall. Even in winter, it was still lush and green. Like an umbrella cover.

"Please." The man pushed open the courtyard door and gestured for Shi Lan and the others to go in.

Shi Lan stepped in and saw a black table under the tree. A figure in gray robe was sitting in front of the table making tea.

This is an old man in his sixties, with gentle eyebrows, a calm expression, and a bookish air about him.

Hearing the noise, the old man raised his head. After seeing Shi Lan, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite, and said slowly: "Please sit down."

Shi Lan walked to sit opposite the old man, and Wang Ning walked behind her and stood with hands tied.

For some reason, Shi Lan felt a lot more relaxed as soon as he stepped into the courtyard. As he ran about on horseback, the evil aura accumulated from his blood-stained hands also dissipated a lot.

"What do you call a girl?"

"Shi Lan."

The old man poured a cup of hot tea and slowly pushed it to Shi Lan.

"How long has the girl been in the demon army?"

The old man's words made Shi Lan pause slightly as he stretched out his hand towards the tea cup.

"Joined not long ago."

Shi Lan picked up the teacup and replied.

"Given her age, she is really talented to have such strength. Why not seek the protection of a powerful sect and concentrate on practicing martial arts? Why bother running around in this battlefield?"

"It's just to save my life."

Shi Lan didn't want to talk too much about this, so he changed the subject and asked, "Is the old gentleman the lord of this city?"

"The city lord of Ziyan City is a dog, and the old man is just a scholar." The old man shook his head slightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "To be honest, the old man doesn't really want to see the people from the Demon Suppressing Army appearing in Ziyan City. "

"Why?"

Shi Lan subconsciously clenched the tea cup.

"What the Demon Suppressing Army represents has never been peace." The old man said calmly and filled the tea cup again.

"How much does the old gentleman know about the Demon Suppression Army? What do you think the Demon Suppression Army represents?" Shi Lan felt a little uncomfortable. Wherever the Demon Suppression Army appeared, there would naturally not be peace, but this was not caused by the Demon Suppression Army. .

"I know something about the Demon Suppressing Army. Many years ago, I had a few encounters with several Demon Suppressing Generals. As for what the Demon Suppressing Army represents, I can't make a conclusion with just a few words. I'm sorry that I can't help the girl solve her doubts."

The old man raised his hand and smiled, "These snow-hiding buds are only available at this time, so girls might as well try them."

"Why did the old gentleman invite me here this time?" Shi Lan frowned slightly and said bluntly, not wanting to make any more detours.

"The purpose of inviting the girl here this time is to ask the girl's subordinates to take off their armor when walking in the city, so as not to disturb the people, and not to spread the word about the evil beasts in the city. If it is convenient, it would be better to leave as soon as possible. good."

The old man put down his hand, picked up the tea cup again, and said slowly.

Shi Lan was silent for a while, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, raised his head and asked, "What's your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Lin and my given name is Yusheng." The old man replied slowly.

"Mr. Lin, I won't stay in Ziyan City for long. I will leave after finishing some things."

Shi Lan stood up and walked out of the courtyard without stopping. She didn't like Lin Yusheng, who claimed to be a scholar, because he had too many twists and turns.

And since Lin Yusheng had clearly expressed his unwelcome attitude, Shi Lan didn't want to waste time trying to get close to him, which would be a thankless effort.

"Girl, walk slowly."

Lin Yusheng's greeting came from the yard.

Shi Lan walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion without stopping at all.

Not long after Shi Lan left, the strong man who had led the way entered the yard, walked to the old man's side, bowed and said, "Old master, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on them?"

Lin Yusheng shook his head slightly and said: "Let them go, this Shi Lan should know what to do."

After saying that, Lin Yusheng sighed with pity. If Shi Lan was not a demon-suppressing army, he would still like to form a friendship.

…

Shi Lan came to the door of the city lord's mansion, got on his horse, and led a group of demon-suppressing troops to find an inn to stay and repair.

After washing away the dust all over his body, Shi Lan asked Wang Ning and others to take off their armor. Jiao Ma also stayed in the inn stables and wandered around the city with the few survivors left earlier to see if the people from Ziyan City were alive. Meet these gangsters.

An hour later, Wang Ning and others came back, bringing news that made Shi Lan unhappy. Everyone in Ziyan City knew about that canyon, and they also knew that there was a group of bandits entrenched there.

However, because this group of bandits had been warned by the city lord of Ziyan City, they never dared to rob Ziyan City's goods. This resulted in the people in Ziyan City not having any intuitive impression of this group of bandits.

Shi Lan took these gangsters and made a presence in the city, and his reputation only increased by a dozen points.

Faced with this result, Shi Lan had no choice but to see if the situation would improve when he got to the next city.

Shi Lan gave Wang Ning and others a half-day off to enjoy the rare peaceful days in Ziyan City, and then began to search for the map of the Chengtian Domain in the city.

It will definitely not work to keep bumping aimlessly like before. Not to mention running into monsters, even in the Chengtian Domain itself, there must be some dangerous places that people cannot enter.

Thinking of this, Shi Lan couldn't help but laugh at herself. She had been in Lingyang Realm for so long, but she seemed to have never had time to truly understand this place.

Not talking about the two demon clans, not to mention other heavenly realms of the human race, just in the Chengtian realm, the only major force Shi Lan knew about was the Shengwu Immortal Sect, and he knew very little about the rest.
