Chapter 166 Sleeping in peace, waking up in troubled times
The next day.
Jiang Yuechu had gone out early, but wherever he went, there was a strange atmosphere in the crowd, mysterious and exuding a sense of excitement and fanaticism.
She went to Yingyue Store first and gave the herbs that needed to be purchased directly to the shopkeeper. The latter took them carefully and prepared all the herbs before waiting for a long time.
Jiang Yuechu sighed at the efficiency of work here. There were two rare spiritual herbs, and the shopkeeper's shopkeeper still got it in a short time.
"Is there anything big happening today?" Jiang Yuechu asked the shopkeeper.
But the shopkeeper said respectfully: "There are no big things, but there are some small things..."
He said a few things, but Jiang Yuechu was not very interested, so he took the herbs and left.
But the atmosphere on the street is still the same.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Jiang Yuechu went to the Mercenary Guild. She wanted to inquire with the mercenaries, but she asked her to meet Dongmenjing!
Dongmen Jing invited Jiang Yuechu upstairs.
"Miss Jiang, it seems we are destined to be." Dongmen said with a smile.
Jiang Yuechu also thought it was... the Alliance of Random Cultivators is so big! The Chamber of Commerce, Mercenary Guild, Alchemy Guild, Weapon Refining Guild, and Killer Guild are all separated. She came to the Mercenary Guild today, why did she meet him again!
There is no question of bad luck, but Jiang Yuechu really doesn't want to see him.
"The day before yesterday, my little girl was really reckless and made some unhappiness, but I have already sent her home. That girl should be willing to be arrogant. Compared to Miss Jiang, that girl... Oh, I won't mention her anymore." Dongmenjing said, as if she was giving Jiang Yuechu an explanation.
It is undeniable that after hearing that Dongmen Dandan was no longer there, Jiang Yuechu's impatientness disappeared a little.
But he couldn't help but think. Dongmenjing's attitude towards her seemed unexpectedly good...
"It's all over, so the leader of the East Gate doesn't have to take it seriously." Jiang Yuechu said without any pain.
Dongmen smiled. After all, it was an old fox. He never lacked topics. He started chatting with Jiang Yuechu, chatting with Xichuan County, the only common topic they had. He revealed to Jiang Yuechu a lot of things she said she didn't know, and he was also trying to confuse her without a trace.
She simply wanted to know what was going on between Jiang Yuechu and the county magistrate's mansion, and she also wanted to know where Jiang Yuechu came from.
Jiang Yuechu almost knew everything, but even so, he could not ask where Jiang Yuechu came from.
"The new county magistrate of Xichuan County has taken office. Unfortunately, he was unable to kill the ancestor of Tomb Mountain in the end and asked her to commit a major case in Wuyujiang City! I have the responsibility too," said Dongmen Jing.
Jiang Yuechu gave a few symbolic comforts.
Dongmenjing said again: "The Huang Cang Kingdom court will soon send someone to capture the ancestor of the Tomb Mountain. I have already ordered several golden diamond killers from the Killer Alliance to help. I will definitely kill the ancestor of the Tomb Mountain this time."
Jiang Yuechu nodded, and she couldn't help but complain. Dongmenjing was in vain. The ancestor of the Tomb Mountain was in her contract space. Even if you go to the Tomb Mountain and turn it over, you would never find her.
She was just bored, but Dongmen Jing said, "Miss Jiang, I heard that your medical skills and alchemy are superb. The alchemy competition held by the Alchemy Guild has begun. Are you interested in trying your skills?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Alchemy competition? What are the benefits of participating in it?"
Dongmen couldn't help but smile, touched the beard on his lips, and said, "It seems that Miss Jiang doesn't understand the alchemy competition yet. Although there are all kinds of fighting elixirs every year in the five countries, the alchemy competition of the Alchemy Guild is held only once every eight years!
There is no limit to the number of participants. Regardless of identity, status, age, competition on the same stage, the Alchemy Guild will invite the most authoritative alchemists to finally judge the level of each alchemist. This level is also the most authoritative and is recognized by any of the five countries.
By the way, the three elixirs in Zhongzhou have become famous from the alchemy conference, so it is no exaggeration to say that the alchemy competition of the Alchemy Guild is the dream competition of every alchemist.”
Jiang Yuechu narrowed her eyes and was a little moved, "So, this alchemy competition almost represents the level of alchemy refining in the five Central countries?"
Dongmen revered, "Nothing is wrong at all."
That's worth a try! Apart from being in contact with other alchemists when he was at the Jiang family in Tushan, Jiang Yuechu had always been thinking about his alchemy skills by himself. There were too few opportunities to practice and he made too slow progress!
She had long wanted such an opportunity, and it would be better if she could break through!
She said immediately: "You just said... it has started?"
Dongmen nodded, "Yes, there are thousands of people participating in the alchemy competition. They have already started the first test at the Five Kingdoms Branch a few months ago. Only one hundred alchemists were selected to enter the second re-examination. The re-examination and finals are all in the Alchemy Guild in Iron Axe Longshan.
I rushed back here from Xichuan County, mainly to preside over the matter, but Miss Jiang doesn't have to worry. If you are interested, I can arrange for you to enter the re-examination directly and participate in the competition."
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but smile, "Then am I... leaving the back door?"
"Haha, Miss Jiang experienced the big incident of the Living Dead Gu when she was in Xichuan County. It's a pity that the county magistrate was very selfish and delayed the matter. However, that was enough to prove Miss Jiang's medical skills. She was able to leave the back door!" Dongmenjing laughed loudly.
Jiang Yuechu agreed without much thought. She bowed, "Thank you very much for the leader."
"No need to thank me for the small matter. I think it will be even more exciting with Miss Jiang's joining the alchemy competition." Dongmen Jing said. He was really happy. Jiang Yuechu was too mysterious. He had always suffered from not having the chance to get close to her and learn more about more things. Now he finally seized an opportunity, which was considered an unexpected gain.
"By the way, who is the judge of the alchemy competition?" Jiang Yuechu asked.
Unexpectedly, Dongmen Jing sighed and said, "I originally invited three Dan Emperors, but Jiang Mu encountered an unexpected accident in Xichuan County, and his life and death were still unpredictable. I don't know if he could participate. Huan Li had not yet come out of seclusion, and I don't know if he could appear during the competition. Now only Marquis Yin can come. In addition, there are several Dadan Sects with equally extraordinary strength."
Jiang Yuechu paused and suddenly asked, "Jiang Mu's life and death are uncertain? Didn't he say he had been killed by the ancestor of Tomb Mountain?"
Dongmen Jing said: "Miss Jiang is not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. Jiang Mu almost died that day, but later he took himself the life-suspended pill he developed. However, the pill has not been perfect yet. Jiang Mu is sleeping forever now. Jiang Wantao has taken him to find Mr. Yin, and I hope Mr. Yin can help Mr. Jiang through this disaster."
This news surprised Jiang Yuechu a little. It turned out that Jiang Mu was not dead...
Finally, Jiang Yuechu asked: "I came out today and saw everyone talking about something in a low voice. I asked some people, but they didn't say it mysteriously. I wonder if something big happened?"
Dongmenjing pondered: "There are major events every day in a capital like Tiefu Longshan, but I should have guessed what Miss Jiang said."
"Oh? Is it convenient for the leader to talk about it?" Jiang Yuechu asked.
Dongmen Jing said: "Of course, this incident happened yesterday. 'Thousand Miles of Blood' appeared in the world again. People are talking about this."
"What is Qianli Blood?" Jiang Yuechu asked. She felt that she had heard of it, but she couldn't remember it.
Dongmen Jing thought to himself that Jiang Yuechu was very unfamiliar with many things in the world, which were quite in line with her immature age. Could it be that she actually came from a low-key hidden family?
Thinking of this in my heart, he answered Jiang Yuechu's question as if nothing had happened. He said: "Qianlixue is actually an invitation, a very special invitation!
It comes from the Prison Demon Palace, a death-seeking post, which means that one can only stop after thousands of miles of blood. However, when the Prison Demon Palace sends out thousands of miles of blood, it will not immediately kill the person who received the invitation, but will list the crime on the invitation, and what the Prison Demon Palace requires him to do.
The deadline is ten days. If he does everything, this person will not kill him. But if he fails to do one, the Thousand Mile Blood will take effect, and the person will definitely die.
By the way, Miss Jiang knows what the Prison Demon Palace is?”
Jiang Yuechu nodded, "I know."
She really knew this. The young wolf told her that at that time, he had no reason to suspect that the group of killers chasing her were people from the Prison Demon Palace, but he just said that, without any basis.
Unexpectedly, after a month, she actually heard the news from the Prison Demon Palace!
No wonder she felt that the words "Thousand Miles of Blood" were familiar, and she had heard them seriously.
"Didn't it mean that the Prison Demon Palace has disappeared for many years?" Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but say.
Dongmen Jing said: "Yes, it's fifteen years, and Thousand Miles of Blood has appeared again, which means the return of the Prison Demon Palace! This is the biggest thing this year. Once the Prison Demon Palace appears, the royal families of the five countries will be in turmoil. It's really appropriate. Huang Cang Kingdom has not been peaceful these days..."
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but say: "What does this have to do with the Prison Demon Palace?"
Dongmen smiled, "Miss Jiang is young after all, and you can't understand the profound meaning of many things. You can't explain these things clearly in one sentence or two. I'll pour some tea."
As he said that, Dongmenjing went to make tea and pour it for Mo Ran, and then continued: "The Prison Demon Palace has always been called the underground kingdom and the sixth empire in Central China. The Lord of the Prison Demon Palace is also called the "Emperor", and the world calls the "Demon Emperor".
It is just because the Prison Demon Palace has never followed the rules and is essentially a killer organization, but these killers are not simply killers. They have their own beliefs and belongings, which are comparable to an invincible army!
The Prison Demon Palace has a variety of businesses, including one person, a family, or even a country. In some wars, the Prison Demon Palace will sometimes intervene to stop killing.
Are these things right or wrong? You can't say it, because there is nothing right or wrong.
It is precisely because good and evil are difficult to define, that the Prison Demon Palace has always been mysterious. Some people fear it, while others yearn for it.
Since ancient times, there have been rumors that the Prison Demon Palace is sleeping in normal times and awakens in troubled times. Now... the Prison Demon Palace has awakened, and some people think that the world is in chaos."
Jiang Yuechu felt incredible and suddenly asked, "Then, who did Qianli Blood give to this time?"
Dongmen smiled and said, "It's strange that this time, all the fifteen thousand-mile blood were given to Huang Cang Kingdom. The fifteen people have different identities, and the seventh prince is the most unsimple."
"The Prison Demon Palace really sends thousands of miles of blood to the royal family? Is there a reason?" Jiang Yuechu asked.
Dongmen Jing said: "Of course there are. I heard that the crimes are densely packed with two full pages. The Seventh Prince is lustful and has harmed many girls. Almost all the crimes are listed. When the Seventh Prince saw them, he fainted on the spot."
Jiang Yuechu raised her eyebrows. If this is true, this would be a great thing. "The Prison Demon Palace is really scruple..."
Seeing that it was already noon, Jiang Yuechu got up and said goodbye.
She just came here to stalk, but she didn't expect that she had a great harvest.
No wonder everyone covers up when talking about it. The three words "Prison Demon Palace" cannot be made loud and loud. That kind of fear seems to be the consensus of everyone, as if you will receive thousands of miles of blood when you say it a little louder.
Oh……
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but laugh, thinking, maybe the reason why he was so afraid was because everyone had a ghost in his heart? He had done all the bad things to a greater or lesser extent?
Are you not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but are afraid of Prison Demon Palace?
It's really inexplicably funny.
When he returned to the house, he just entered her yard and saw Feng Che practicing swords. Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but stop and look.
Feng Che rarely uses swords. His magic weapon is a bone fan, which is similar to her. They are all short-soldiers, but Feng Che is a real magic weapon with all kinds of changes.
But in fact, Feng Che's swordsmanship is also very exquisite, and it is as light as water, and it is a great achievement. I wonder if it is because Feng Che has the innate water qi...
Moreover, someone else can describe it as being majestic and domineering, but this guy is... quite good-looking?
He could easily ignore his sword skills, so he could only look at his elegant figure, as graceful as a stunning geese, like a dragon...
After a moment of stunnedness, Jiang Yuechu shook her head and secretly spitted on herself. Why was she stunned like those little girls who were fascinated by Feng Che?
When she looked up, she saw Feng Che calmly putting his sword away, turning around and smiling at him, putting his clothes on his waist, and the lazy person who was usually lazy was very energetic at this moment, and the leaves above his head were still falling by the sword energy.
Feng Che stood in the curtain of fallen leaves and smiled at her. His smile was clean and bright, and it was a little brighter than the sun in a trance.
"Yue'er, I'm fascinated by my handsome and handsome figure? Why can't I come in?" Feng Che said.
Jiang Yuechu's face turned dark, and everything just now was like a bubble, and was exposed by these narcissistic words.
"I have never seen someone with a thicker skin than you." Jiang Yuechu said, and walked to the tree and sat down.
The big tree in the yard was filled with shade, and there were also stone tables and benches here.
"Then I am not the only one in Yue'er's heart?" Feng Che leaned on his face.
Jiang Yuechu glanced at him. This guy was not ashamed but proud. If he really wanted to argue with him, he would be angry to death sooner or later.
"Didn't you go to Yingyue Trading Company? Why did you go all morning?" Feng Che asked.
Jiang Yuechu said: "I also went to the Mercenary Guild and met Dongmenjing."
