In the ruined and ruined temple, a large group of people gathered, and beggars in ragged clothes and dignitaries in fine clothes were crowded together in the same room. Rao couldn't stand the rancid smell of the people around him, and no one dared to take a step out of the door.

Ji Changkong leaned against a corner of the ruined temple, and in a vague way, he always heard many people around him whispering something. One of the voices was very close to him, and seemed to nudge him gently: "Childe." Son? ”

"Childe, wake up!"

Feeling the strength coming from his body, Ji Changkong woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an unkempt and tattered beggar holding a broken bowl and squatting beside him with a bamboo pole. He was slightly surprised, not because of the coldness of the person in front of him, but because the person he saw at first sight was not Bei Dye.

He straightened his clothes, sat upright, looked around, and found himself in a ruined temple. Later, I saw that there were many people dressed like this person in front of me, and there were many people in this room. He didn't think much about why he left the Ghost Mansion Underground Palace for no reason, or what these people were doing, and his first reaction was: What about Ah Ran? Where did she go?

As soon as he propped himself up from the ground, he immediately felt something in his hand. When they fell into the abyss and were swept away by the strange force, the rag he had dragged off Bei Dye was still in his hand. He put away the white cloth and walked around the house, but all he saw were a group of living people he had never met, and he saw not a trace of the north dye. He didn't hesitate at all, turned quickly to the door, and stretched out his hand to push the door away.

The beggar who shook him up before stepped forward and grabbed him: "Son, don't go out!" It's full of bandits outside, arresting people everywhere. ”

Ji Changkong stopped the hand pushing the door and looked at him puzzled. The beggar nodded at him, then scowled his head out the door.

Through the cracked window paper, you can vaguely see the situation on the street in the distance. A group of bandits on horseback wielded broadswords to rob and kill the people everywhere they went, and everywhere they went, they were full of swords and swords, and the unarmed people could only hug their heads and beg for mercy. The originally quiet and peaceful streets were made by them, all kinds of goods, fruits and vegetables were knocked to the ground, and people kicked and trampled on them, and the whole market was like a large abandoned garbage dump.

"See? So I can't go! The old beggar pulled Ji Changkong and didn't let him go up for half a point.

Ji Changkong turned around and looked at the large group of people hiding in the temple, and asked the old beggar, "Old man, what kind of place is this?" What's going on out there? ”

The old beggar let go of his hand: "I just saw you, and I knew that you must have come from another place, and a person got lost in this place, and unfortunately caught up with the trouble here, so he hid in this temple like us." This is a town in a remote place, the famous frost city, the city has been built for decades, the people have been living and working in peace and contentment, everyone is happy in a small household, but since the moon came to this gang of thieves, all this has changed. ”

At this point, the old beggar paused and sighed, and then said:

"They went to the city twice for three days to make trouble, and they robbed things, and killed people if they didn't give them. We are ordinary people, where will we get any martial arts, whenever they come, we have to hide. If you can't dodge, then you can only count your life. ”

"Then do you know where this group of people came from?"

"I don't know, but looking at their methods of killing people, like some people who focus on doing evil, they must not be good citizens."

Regarding his sudden appearance in this place, Ji Changkong had quite doubts in his heart. It stands to reason that he and Bei fell into the abyss together after dyeing through the hidden weapon stone henge, and she should be around here. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous for her to be in such chaos outside now.

But the reason engraved in his bones told him that he couldn't rush out so recklessly, he should first figure out the situation here, and find someone to get twice the result with half the effort. Then he said: "As you said, bandits are rampant here, and the local county officials don't care?" ”

The beggar was categorical: "Anyway, it doesn't matter." But helplessly, our official master is from a scholarly family, how can he beat them? The old man reported the matter to the authorities, but our place is remote, and the soldiers transferred from other places can't save the fire. So, that's all it can be for now. ”
