Immortality is above

Chapter 81 81: Hidden in the city

Guo Lin, the lord of Baidi City, has been famous for a long time and is a genuine innate master.

He has lived in Baidi City for a long time. In recent years, he has been in seclusion and rarely shows his face. This time when I went north to Beijing, I passed through Tongguan. I heard about the demons causing trouble, so I took action and led a group of disciples to the wilderness.

After hearing the news, Chen Liubai secretly shook his head and continued to go back to his room to meditate and recuperate.

At dusk, there was a commotion on the street and a lot of people. When I stood at the window, I saw that Guo Lin was back. Surrounded by several disciples, he looked quite grand.

The famous Lord of Baidi City was riding on a tall horse. He was of unknown age, his beard and hair were completely white, and his majesty was fully displayed as he looked around.

Chen Weibin and Hou Huanian followed their master and did not return to the inn, but changed places to live.

When going downstairs for dinner, Chen Liubai heard the discussion among the warriors and learned something like this: It turned out that Guo Lin and his party went to the wilderness to search, but did not find the whereabouts of the demon, so they had to return empty-handed:

"In my opinion, the demon must have fled after hearing the news and hid."

"It's such a pity. I originally thought that Grandmaster Guo would take action to kill demons and eliminate harm for the people."

"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't Jingyesi's Ma Qianhu encounter a demon yesterday, nearly annihilating his entire army, and then escaped back in despair?"

"How can Ma Qianhu compare with City Lord Guo? When City Lord Guo achieved innate achievements and massacred everyone, Ma Qianhu was probably just born. His innate cultivation is only 'rumored'."

Everyone said something to each other, and the atmosphere was lively and joyful.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people who join in the fun and speak freely.

You can't do something yourself, but through your words, you can get the satisfaction of participating in it. Why not do it?

Chen Liubai, who knew the truth about the demon, just listened to it as a joke. He suspected that Guo Lin and the others did not go to the wilderness at all, but just made a pretense and then came back in great glory.

"Is this person just a deceitful person?"

After eating, Chen Liubai stepped out, disappeared on the street in a flash.

He wants to leave seclusion and find those "devils" again.

This trip took one night, and they traveled to many places in the wilderness, but did not find the whereabouts of the other party.

Those demons seemed to have really disappeared.

Regarding this, Chen Liubai was quite puzzled: Could it be that they had swallowed enough energy and blood and left?

Since I can't find it, I can only go back and wait and see what happens.

On the third day, Jingyesi's Ma Qianhu led hundreds of cavalry and searched the wilderness, but still found nothing;

In the next few days, there was no further news of the demon causing trouble.

It's puzzling that this huge disaster, which caused a lot of fuss, could just pass like this.

Then another news came out, saying that the demon was probably killed by a strange man dressed as a scholar.

However, the news was so false that it was difficult to justify and explain why.

Everyone just treated it as a baseless rumor and ignored it.

Regardless of whether the demon was eliminated or left on its own, it was still a good thing.

Road traffic has resumed, and people no longer need to worry when traveling.

But as the weather gets colder, a large number of refugees outside the customs have nowhere to go, and many people freeze to death and starve to death...

A wealthy family in Tongguan City raised their arms and began to raise funds, saying that they would build porridge sheds, buy grain and clothes, and provide disaster relief and rescue people.

This fund-raising campaign was quite impressive and received a lot of support from people from all walks of life. Those who contributed money gave money and those who contributed food provided food.

However, in the end, only two or three pitifully small sheds were built, and the porridge and water distributed was really just a few grains of rice mixed with water...

This incident aroused many doubts, saying that all the money and materials collected from donations were secretly divided among the powerful families.

But these doubts soon died down.

Just when people thought it was over, a mysterious assassin took action overnight, splattering the rich family with blood...

The city is full of storm.

Jingyesi, the local government, and even the garrison guards were all alerted by this, and sent out a large number of troops to search and arrest him throughout the city. In the end, no one was caught, but many martial arts warriors were implicated, and they fled quickly one by one.

Those who escaped slowly were caught and thrown into prison.

These people are always licking blood from their knives. Which one is fine? Under severe torture, they all took action.

But they are all old cases and have no connection with the current case.

The identity of the mysterious assassin who took action remains a mystery, and his whereabouts are unknown...

……

In the thirteenth year of Yankang, in the depth of winter, there was heavy snowfall, and everything was covered with snow.

On this day, Chen Liubai led Rouge Ma into the capital.

The capital of Zhao State is known as "the most majestic city in the world".

Of course, this "world" is probably just the world in the minds of Zhao people.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they may never leave their local county in their entire lives. As long as they have heard of the place, it is the entire "world".

However, the capital is indeed a majestic city with a huge area and a population of millions. It is divided into the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city according to the regional divisions.

The core of the imperial city is where the imperial palace is located, also known as the "Forbidden City".

It’s really a big city within a small city, layer upon layer.

Chen Liubai stayed in Tongguan City for a while, but could no longer find the whereabouts of those demons, so after "making an unexpected decision", he decided to continue going north and enter the capital.

The capital is also the end point of his trip.

He hoped that there would be what he was looking for in this city.

Ordinary people cannot ride into the city on horseback. They must dismount and be led along.

As for road citation documents, etc., they are also mandatory requirements.

Chen Liubai successfully entered the city. Without a city map, he could only ask someone for directions, then passed through the outer city and entered the inner city area, then found a Yaxing agency and bought a remote small house located in the southeast of the inner city.

The reason why I buy instead of rent is mainly to save time and avoid trivial troubles.

Not short of money anyway.

It can be regarded as indirectly satisfying a wish that I had long ago to live and work in peace and contentment in the imperial capital.

As the saying goes: A great hermit is hidden in the city.

To be honest, he has not lived in a big city for a long time since he came down from the mountain.

As for "audience students", all living beings, the ideal place is the place with the most people.

Of course, Chen Liubai does not live a "reclusive life" in seclusion. Instead, he goes out every day and walks around the streets.

What's amazing is that there are so many people coming and going, but they don't see or know anything about Chen Liubai.

When this step is achieved, it can be called a true "Great Hidden".

Even within the entire Immortal Cultivation System, "hidden" is a very large conceptual category.

Cave heaven and blessed land, overseas fairy mountains, worldly masters...

Such as various.

When you are in the bustling and bustling capital city, there are thousands of feet of red dust, just a grain of sand and gravel, it turns out like this.
