Chapter 136: A Special Temptation
The old lady left Feng Yun and the four of them in a hurry, and gradually disappeared into the deserted street.
Tang Shiwen wanted to stop the old lady, afraid that something would happen to her alone, but Lin Shen stopped him: "It is important to find out what happened to this Shang Ningguo first, and only by solving the source can we really help them." ”
Xue Yu also nodded: "According to the information given by the mission, that loose cultivator was here to connect with the people of the Blood Eye Sect. I don't know if it has anything to do with the army that the mother-in-law said before. "If that army is really so unscrupulous here, then it is most reasonable to have the support of the monks behind it.
"Let's see." Feng Yun said in a low voice. They really didn't know much about Shang Ningguo, and they had no way of knowing what the relationship between the Blood Eye Sect and Shang Ningguo was, so they had to investigate it and talk about it.
In this way, they continued to wander through this strange city, but not only did they not hear any news of the Blood Eye Sect, but they did not even see the shadow of the rumored army.
"Why don't we just fly into the sky and have a look." Tang Shiwen proposed. However, Xue Yu and Feng Yun shook their heads at the same time.
"No, I can't say if there are monks in the city, and if you can't get it right, and the enemy is dark and I am clear, maybe I will be used as a target in the air." Xue Yu objected.
Although Feng Yun also objected, he was not opposed to finding some clues from the sky: "If you wait until the evening and there are no clues, then take advantage of the night to fly up and look around." "If the other party is a One Realm monk, then they will be detected even if they are hiding in the ground.
The other three also nodded, but at this moment, an old man with a burden on his back and a look hurriedly walking through the alleys of the city caught Feng Yun's attention.
This old man's eyes are clear, and he is not in a trance like the previous mother-in-law, but his nervous and anxious appearance is not ordinary.
Feng Yun glanced at the other three, and the four of them flashed, and flew around to the front of the old man.
The old man had gray hair, looked a little thin, probably had a sixtieth armor, but his legs and feet were not slow, and at this time, he suddenly saw four young people blocking the way, shocked and suspicious, clutching the burden on his shoulders, and looking at Feng Yun and the four of them vigilantly.
Feng Yun tried his best to put on a young and kind expression and said, "This old man, the kid is here for the first time, and I want to ask the old man what happened in this place, why can't you even see a figure on the street." ”
The old man glanced at the four of them, and said with a heavy face, "You are not from Shang Ningguo?" ”
Without waiting for Feng Yun to answer, he heard him say again: "No matter where you come from, I advise you to leave quickly!" With that, he was leaving.
"This old man, please tell us what happened to this Shang Ning Kingdom?" But Tang Shiwen blocked his way and couldn't help but ask again.
The old man frowned, looked around, and said, "...... It looks like you really don't look like the ghost luxury army, it's still the same sentence, no matter where you come from or what you're here for, leave quickly, before the ghost luxury army returns to the city. After speaking, the old man let Tang Shiwen grab the burden and leave the place quickly, leaving the four of them looking at each other.
"It seems that the army is this ghost army, is it going out to fight?" Lin Shen said.
Xue Yu guessed: "Maybe I went to other places to loot." Feng Yun, what do you think? ”
Feng Yun pondered for a while before saying, "The old man's baggage just now should be filled with food. ”
"You're still thinking about eating, huh? Don't say you're hungry. Lin Shen quipped.
"Not yet, and I've got my own rations." Feng Yun said with a smile.
Xue Yu ignored the jokes of the two and said seriously: "What do you mean? He believed that Feng Yun would not be untargeted.
"Looking at the old man's face, he was very nervous about the food in his baggage, and presumably the city may be very short of food now. Since the threat is not in line with our style, it has to be tempted, and the fragrant food is in front of us, and I don't believe that no one will speak. ”
Hearing this, the other three all laughed.
"That's right, since we can't find anyone, let's let someone come to us."
……
It was about to darken, but a smell gradually spread through the streets.
I saw that Feng Yun and the four of them had set up a big pot under a deserted street corner, boiling rice porridge with meat, and the aroma was fragrant.
After a while, several people were attracted by this fragrance, but they all chose to stand at a distance and watch, not daring to approach. Feng Yun smiled, scooped a bowl for himself from the pot, and ate it comfortably. The bowl of chopsticks was naturally found from the restaurant behind them, which was in a mess, and there were even bloodstains, and there was no one in sight.
Feng Yun was satisfied, and the people who saw it in the distance were full of envy, and what was even more excessive was that Feng Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong after eating a few bites, so he actually took out a Gongshan pig's ham from the oiled paper bag on the side, added meat slices to his porridge with a meat cleaver that had been prepared, and then cut a lot in the pot.
Suddenly the smell of meat filled the entire street, and more and more people gathered here, many of them holding their saliva and breathing in the aroma, and they couldn't even remember the last time they ate meat.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Shen nodded at the other three.
He cleared his throat and said, "We will definitely not be able to finish this pot of porridge, if you are hungry, you can come and enjoy it." ”
Everyone was a little happy when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, but no one dared to act, Feng Yun could see their intentions, and his sensitive hearing could even hear that these stomachs were protesting frantically.
"However, there are conditions for wanting to drink porridge."
Sure enough, when they heard this, everyone's faces were like ashes, and the joy that had just risen instantly collapsed, and some people even knelt on the ground directly and weakly.
Feng Yun stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, we are businessmen from other places, and we don't know the situation here, so I want to ask you about the situation here, and see if there is any profitable business. With that, he drank all the rice porridge in his bowl.
Suddenly, countless people looked at Feng Yun, there seemed to be expectation and fear in their eyes, and some people couldn't help but step forward, but they were pulled back by others.
Faintly I could hear them saying, "You don't want to die!" ”
"Maybe those demons have come up with some new way to torture people."
"They don't look like the people of the ghost army."
"What do you know, if you can see it at a glance, what are they playing?"
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward, although a bowl of rice porridge with meat is not a heavy reward, but for the hungry, it is not a thousand dollars.
"Your words count!" A thin man came out of nowhere, and he slowly walked towards Feng Yun and them. The man was a little out of shape, his left arm and leg were empty, and he walked slowly with only his right hand supporting a wooden staff.
Tang Shiwen couldn't look at it, so he stepped forward to help the man over.
Who knew that the man refused and said: "The villain has a rotten life, don't stain the nobleman's clothes." You just need to tell me, is it true that a message for a bowl of porridge? "Feng Yun and the four of them are actually wearing ordinary civilian clothes, which are not expensive, but compared to the others around them, they are indeed too much better.
There was some fearlessness in the man's eyes, and at the same time there was a glimmer of hope.
Tang Shiwen seemed to see his stubbornness, so he didn't stretch out his hand to help but nodded seriously: "As long as you can answer our questions, you can drink porridge, and it doesn't matter if you can't answer." ”
"Good!" The man limped in front of Feng Yun and the others, trying his best not to let himself look at the tempting pot of rice porridge, and then said, "I don't know what a few nobles want to ask?" ”
So Xue Yu spoke: "Look at the houses in the city, this should have been a normal town before, what happened to make it like this?" ”
Referring to the past, the man's chest rose and fell a little, and then he took two deep breaths and suppressed his emotions and said: "A few years ago, the newly succeeded Shang Jun suddenly issued a decree to start recruiting troops from the entire Shangning Kingdom, and every family must send a strong man to join the army, and everyone is called by the Xingmen Kingdom. Who knows that it didn't take long for the Star Gate to call, and Shang Jun began to recruit soldiers again, it is not easy for anyone to raise a child, who can stand taking two in a row, but what is the use of not wanting to, as soon as the army comes out, the rebels are killed, how can we resist, and the strong men were taken away to join the army, and those who did not have strong men were also taken away from all the food, saying what is the 'no Ding tax'......"
In the end, the man's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop his tears.
"This army is what you call the Ghost Army?" Tang Shiwen asked.
"I'll do this question!" An old man suddenly ran out from not far away.
Seeing that there was another person, Lin Shen asked the lame man to sit down on the side, and at the same time scooped a bowl of porridge for him, and put a piece of meat on it. When he put the meat porridge in the man's hand, his trembling hand almost failed to catch it, and after stabilizing it, he slowly brought it to his mouth and drank it, and the faster he drank, he was not afraid of burning his tongue, it seemed that he was really hungry.
Before the old man who came over could speak, the others saw that there was really meat porridge to drink, and they ran out from everywhere, and some people with inconvenient legs and feet even crawled forward.
Everyone rushed forward, the aroma of rice porridge almost robbed them of their sanity, and some people who were still sober just leaned forward to Feng Yun and the others and said loudly: "Ask me!" I know! ”
However, there are also people who can't help themselves, and they directly reach out and grab the meat slices in the pot, trying to fish in troubled waters.
However, Feng Yun and the others all have cultivation, which will allow him to succeed, and if he really succeeds, how can the scene be controlled.
Seeing that someone grabbed the pot directly, and several other people also wanted to follow suit, but they suddenly felt a sharp pain in their hands at the moment of reaching out, and they had to withdraw their arms with painful screams. At the beginning, the man was directly caught by Feng Yun's chopsticks at the moment when his fingers were about to touch the meat slices.
