True Immortal of the Netherworld

Early the next morning.

Xu Yang, Bai Mujin, and Bai Muhua decided to go to Xijun City.

As cultivators, they usually have a few sets of casual clothes on hand for the convenience of traveling around the world. In order not to cause trouble, the three of them changed into ordinary people's clothes.

Xu Yang was dressed in light green elegant Confucian clothes and looked like a gentle and elegant young man. Bai Hibiscus was wearing a goose-yellow dress. She was no longer as flirtatious and neat as before, but more quiet and elegant. However, she also wore a thin white gauze scarf around her cheek to cover her scars, adding a bit of mystery. Bai Muhua wore a dark blue cloth coat, looking like an ordinary person.

…

One day ago, in a secret room in Beicheng.

"Linghu Xia" wearing a gray Confucian robe and a light golden scholar's scarf on his head was sitting on a large Taishi chair.

In front of him stood two of his men, a man with a yellow face and a man with full beards.

The yellow-faced man spoke first: "Sir, the three previous intruders have left the business road. My subordinates failed to find their traces. Please punish me."

This result was obviously expected by Linghu Xia, and he did not blame the two of them.

"It doesn't matter, these three people have suffered some losses from me, so they will inevitably be more cautious. Their cultivation levels are all in the Peiyuan realm, especially the monk named "Xu Yang" among them, who has weird and unpredictable ghost skills. They are also mixed with Buddhist martial arts. They must not be used by Dongjuncheng. It will be very troublesome if they become our opponents. Just in case, please quickly take my handwriting to kill these three people. The information is sent back to the secret service department of the county. Once these three people are found to have contact with people from Dongjuncheng, they must be eliminated at all costs. "

After saying that, Linghu Xia took out a written secret letter from her sleeve.

"My subordinate "Wen Yan" takes the order! "

The yellow-faced man who called himself Wen Yan took the secret letter with both hands, turned and left the room.

The remaining beard said: "Sir, just now the "rice merchant" in Beicheng sent someone to report that a few days ago, someone came to Beicheng to investigate the matter of "selling rice at high prices", and they may be people from "Xijuncheng". "

"The price of rice is too high. How will the people in Beicheng react?"

"According to your instructions, ordinary people have been called upon to donate food and money, and the part of the silver provided by your Majesty has also been donated to the people affected by the disaster in Beicheng. At present, it seems that the order is relatively stable."

"We just need to do it just right to ensure that the price of rice remains at a high level without causing the disaster-stricken people in Beicheng to rebel. Also, you can go to Beicheng and walk around to see if there are any people sent by Dongjuncheng. Agent, just let them see and don't alert others."

"My subordinate "Wen Yong" takes the order!"

After saying that, he respectfully left the room and closed the door behind him.

After the two left, Linghu Xia stood up from the Taishi chair, walked to the coffee table, picked up a cup of tea, but did not drink it, and fell into thinking for a moment.

…

Xu Yang and the other two dressed up in casual clothes and came to the outside of Xijun City.

The tall city wall made of countless huge right-angled bluestones completely separates the inside and outside of the county city into two worlds. A tall three-story brick and stone structure stands on the city wall, magnificent. The city gate painted with bright red paint is open underneath, and a rectangular stone plaque is placed directly above the gate. On the stone plaque are engraved three large gilt characters "Xijun City" shining brightly in the sun.

Outside the city gate, there were more than thirty soldiers in neat uniforms, led by two generals, checking the people entering and leaving the county city. Every citizen who enters the county will present the general documents issued when he left the city.

Xu Yangjian calmly took out a rectangular white jade sign from his sleeve. This jade plaque is as white as fresh snow and is exquisitely carved. On the front is the word "County" engraved on it.

"This is the jade token that Lu Qingyu gave me before. This should allow the three of us to enter the county smoothly."

The three of them came to the city gate, and Xu Yang showed the jade sign.

The soldiers guarding the gate quickly informed the general on duty after seeing the jade plaque. Not long after, a strong military general came over to verify the jade plaque in person. Without saying a word, he respectfully motioned for the three of them to enter the city.

"Thank you!"

Xu Yang put away the jade token, and the three of them entered the county town together.

Compared with the previous North City, Xijun City is much more prosperous, and the impact of the drought is almost invisible. Most of the people in the city are decently dressed, and the various wine shops and teahouses on both sides of the street are open as usual.

"I didn't expect the jade token given by Lu Qingyu to be so useful. It must have a great background." After Bai Muhua finished speaking, there was a trace of doubt on his face.

"Brother Mu Hua, are you worried that when we enter the city, we will send mutton into the tiger's mouth? I have also had doubts in this regard. From the short time I have been in contact with Lu Qingyu, I can see that this person is not a conservative person, but a conservative person. A courageous person who is good at using all available factors, as long as we don't show any actual threat to her, I believe she will not regard us as enemies," Xu Yang explained.

"Does this mean that this person wants to take advantage of us? That's easy to say. It's fair that we use her connections to help find out how to leave this world and use each other."

"We have already exposed our identities before. If we continue to wander outside, we will at least become the target of "Linghu Xia" again. If it develops into being wanted and hunted by the entire "Xiaoxian World", it will be a problem for outsiders to settle down, and the situation will be even worse. It’s getting more difficult.”

"After entering the city, just adapt to changes."

…

According to the location told by "Lv Qingyu" before, the three of them walked and inquired, and came to a teahouse called "Yuhua House". This building is a two-story wooden building with carved beams and painted columns, which has a somewhat ancient charm. The store is located on the street of the county town. Compared with other stores, it is not very big. There are not many people drinking tea, but it is quiet and tidy.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged shopkeeper with a square face standing behind the counter.

Xu Yang once again showed the jade card generously.

The shopkeeper smiled brightly when he saw the jade sign and said, "You are the distinguished guest of the eldest lady. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My name is Chang Man, and I am the shopkeeper of this teahouse. Are you Mr. Xu?"

"It turns out to be shopkeeper Chang. Xu Yang is polite here. These two are my friends."

"The eldest lady came to inform the younger one in person a few days ago. If Mr. Xu comes, she will inform her immediately. The three best guest rooms have been reserved for Mr. Xu and the three of them. You may as well take a rest first."

"May I ask Shopkeeper Chang, what is Miss Lu's status in the county?"

"Young master, you are joking. Miss Lu is the daughter of the lord of Xijun City, and everyone in Xijun City says so. This place is the private property of the eldest lady, which is very convenient."

"It turns out to be the city lord's daughter."

"The eldest lady has told me that if Young Master Xu asks anything, I should tell him the truth word for word. Although I am resting here, the eldest lady has been busy with official duties recently, but I have personally told him that once the young master comes, he will come to pick him up in person. of."

Shopkeeper Chang ran back and forth in person to send the three of them into the guest room. After saying goodbye, he hurriedly went to report to Lu Qingyu.

…

Early the next morning.

As expected, Lu Qingyu came to "Yuhua Building" in person.

Wearing an exquisite aqua blue dress, she is eye-catching. She has white teeth and bright eyes. She is lightly painted with pink and white. She is as breathtaking as autumn chrysanthemums and as textured as spring pine. Her natural aristocratic temperament is undoubtedly revealed.

Along with Lu Qingyu, there was an old doctor with a silver beard under his chin.

Xu Yang introduced Bai Mujin and Bai Muhua to Lu Qingyu one by one.

"Hello, Miss Mujin. Mr. Xu's friends are my friends. Just stay here to recuperate..."

"thanks for your care"

"This is Mr. Bai, right?" Lu Qingyu greeted with a smile.

Seeing Lu Qingyu greeting him generously, Bai Muhua nodded sheepishly in response. While he was amazed at his beauty, he felt a fondness for Lu Qingyu's elegant temperament in his heart.

"This is the best Doctor Ouyang in the county. Let him take a look at it for Miss Mujin."

Doctor Ouyang didn't say much and followed Lu Qingyu's instructions to carefully examine Bai Mugina's burns.

"Although the fire damage to the soul in this girl's body is serious, the girl may have practiced some special skills to restore her body. If she takes pills internally, she will be fully recovered within half a month."

"That's good!" Lu Qingyu said.

"Please also ask the girl to take off the scarf on her face and let the old man see the injuries."

Bai Hibiscus gently took off the gauze scarf, revealing an inch-sized scar on her right cheek.

Doctor Ouyang looked at it carefully, and then said: "Although this scar is a trauma, the fire poison has changed the foundation of the skin. At present, it seems that even if it heals, it may leave a trace. However, I will try my best to help the girl heal it." ”

"Thank you, doctor."

Doctor Ouyang took out a small porcelain bottle.

"This is the best burn medicine formulated with "Spiritual Badger Oil". It has a very good effect on recovering burns."

After saying that, he opened the porcelain bottle, took out a little milky white ointment with a wooden spoon and applied it to Bai Hibiscus's cheeks.

…

"Doctor Ouyang, you are not allowed to talk about what is going on here today to anyone else. Please step back first." Lu Qingyu said in a stern tone.

"Please rest assured, young lady, I guarantee with my head that I won't tell anyone what happened today." He answered carefully and backed away.

"The three of you are outsiders. It is very inconvenient to walk in Xiaoxian Realm. You might as well stay here permanently. Regarding leaving Xiaoxian Realm, I have checked the relevant classics in the past two days, but there is nothing new. Only. I can follow what Sansha said before and wait until the formation eye at the altar of earth opens in half a year to try my luck."

For a monk, half a year is just a time for retreat and practice. Therefore, the three of them are still full of expectations for the battle in half a year.

"I still have something I want to ask three of you for help." Lu Qingyu said honestly.

"Speaking."

"My identity must have been informed by Shopkeeper Chang to the three of them. My father is the princess of this West County. Because of the severe drought, the East and West counties are now at war with each other. Both sides are actively preparing for war. Yesterday, the envoys sent out I just came back from Dongjun City. The result of the negotiation is that the two sides agreed to a fair competition. The winning side will have 70% of the water source control of the "Tai River", and the losing side will only get 30% of the water source of the "Tai River". . The losing side is tantamount to cutting off its own path of survival. In the end, both sides will definitely fight to the death."

After a pause, he continued: "Dongjun City's plan is that 60% of the water source of the Taihe River has been controlled. The turmoil and damage caused by the drought will be lighter than that of Xijun City. The longer the delay, the greater the impact of the drought on Xijun City." The city is even more unfavorable. Now in order to prepare for the final decisive battle, Dongjun City has begun to recruit other casual cultivators who were originally hunted by Confucianism as its mercenaries.

The last time I was intercepted by the "Three Evils" on the business road, it was probably someone from Dongjun City who ordered me to do so. Mr. Xu also has an alliance with the "Three Evils". I would like to ask the three Mr. Xu to use this relationship to help me find out how much weight the mercenary trump card in Dongjuncheng's hand holds. Many of these casual cultivators still want to leave here and return to the Northern Territory. Mr. Xu can also take this opportunity to win over the capable people among them to help them break out of the Xiaoxian world in half a year. "
