The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 24 Life is like an ant, people are like grass

Zhao Mingyang ran away in embarrassment without looking back.

It's as if Zhang Jingyuan is a devil that confuses people's hearts, and Sister Mei Hong is a tiger that eats people.

How could an innocent little boy like Zhao Mingyang, who had just grown up, be able to bear such a situation.

However, as he ran, Zhao Mingyang couldn't help but look back. Although on the surface he seemed to be looking to see if Zhang Jingyuan was chasing him, in fact, the corner of his eyes was aimed at Sister Mei Hong.

She looked quite young, especially her figure, which was no worse than the girls he saw in the famous courtyards in Yanyang City. Then why was she willing to stay in a remote and vicious place like Sanpoji?

The scene where he just saw a human trafficker playing with a young woman gave him a huge impact that penetrated deeply into his soul. For the first time, he truly understood that in the world of cultivation, lives are like ants and people are like grass.

There are still basic rules of order in the city. Once out of the city, people are no longer human beings, they become demons, humans become beasts, and humans become ghosts.

In addition, what does Zhang Jingyuan mean by saying that if he has no money, Sister Mei Hong will not want money?
Isn't it just for money that she worked so hard and endured the humiliation to sell herself?
If not for money, why is she doing this?
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

Zhao Mingyang's big head was filled with question marks.

Zhang Jingyuan followed behind with a smile and did not chase. All he needed to do now was to ensure that Zhao Mingyang did not go to places he shouldn't go.

Although Sanpoji seems chaotic and evil, there are actually rules. After all, where there are no rules, there is chaos, and it is impossible for a chaotic place to exist for such a long time.

However, the rules of Sanpoji are too cruel to the weak and those who are not familiar with this place.

For example, many markets have rules that prohibit violence in the market, but Sanpo Market does not have this rule. The rule of Sanpo Market is that you can kill people at will in Sanpo Market.

You can kill people at will, but there are no rules. Why did Zhang Jingyuan call it the rule of Sanpoji?

Because people who know this rule will naturally be careful not to provoke anyone who seems not to be trifled with, and try not to cause trouble. Even if they are cheated by the store or stall owner, they only need to consider what they can do. If you can't beat the fight, can you get justice for yourself?

If you can, you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about other stores coming to help, and there won’t be so-called market managers running out to uphold justice in name, but in fact they are trying to deviate.

If you can't, then you can only swallow it and don't go to trouble.

After all, looking for trouble in Sanpoji will lead to death.

In this way, no matter what to do, no matter whether the final outcome is life or death, it is basically in his own hands, and it will definitely not happen. He just wants to seek justice for a few spiritual coins, but he is confused. He was confused and died at the hands of the other party.

Of course, if on the other hand, the store cheats the wrong person, then just wash your neck and wait for death.

In fact, the rules of Sanpo Ji are to put it bluntly, the law of the jungle should prevail.

But who can say that the law of the jungle and the hungry wolf eating sheep are not rules?

In Zhang Jingyuan's view, this is not only a rule, but also close to the way of heaven.

Therefore, the number of people who die in accidents at Sanpo Market every year is not too many, and is even less than the number of people who die in markets in some cities.

From now on, Zhao Mingyang can be regarded as an adult, and it is impossible for him to stay by his side all the time. The two grown men are inseparable together all day long. Zhao Mingyang is not disgusting, but he is disgusting.

From now on, he can only help Zhao Mingyang a little bit, and Zhao Mingyang will have to walk most of it by himself.

So taking Zhao Mingyang to see the dangers and ruthlessness of the world, and deceiving you and me, is naturally the meaning of the question.

Otherwise, why would he bring Zhao Mingyang here?
It was getting late, so Zhang Jingyuan took Zhao Mingyang to find an inn and stayed there, preparing to go out for a walk in the evening.

These three hundred miles were not bad for him, but for a person like Zhao Mingyang who had just become a monk, it was already very difficult to persevere, so he had to take a rest.

Furthermore, the essence of Sanpoji can only be displayed at night.

"In the future, if you come alone, you must stay in this inn. Don't go to other inns, no matter how cheap they are."

Zhang Jingyuan said, pointing to the inn in front of him that was somewhat mottled, with the paint on the doorpost almost falling off, and not even a signboard.

"Why?" Zhao Mingyang asked in surprise.

He didn't see anything good about this inn, not to mention it was broken, and there weren't many guests coming and going. The other inns he saw on the road were not only much newer than this inn, but also had a lot of people.

"There is no reason. As long as you don't want to eat other people's human meat buns during the day and turn them into human meat buns for others to eat at night, then don't go to other inns."

After hearing this, Zhao Mingyang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, feeling the coldness running directly from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.

He always thought that human flesh buns were just a fiction in fiction books. Even if they existed, they were far away from him. Who would have thought that this kind of thing happened less than a day away from his home, and judging from Zhang Jingyuan's tone, this was not a behavior unique to one family, but something that was done by all other inns except the one in front of him. .

"Then...how do those people dare to enter those inns?"

Zhao Mingyang was so shocked that his teeth chattered and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Didn't I tell you that Sanpoji has its own rules. If you dare to go in and can go in, you will naturally be sure that you will not be made into a human meat dumpling. As for you?"

As he spoke, Zhang Jingyuan glanced sideways at Zhao Mingyang and continued: "I'm sure that as long as you go in, you will 100% be made into a human meat bun."

Foundation-building monks who stay in these inns will definitely not be made into human meat buns. Zhao Mingyang looks like a harmless little white rabbit. Once he enters, he will definitely be made into human meat buns. Isn't this also a rule?
"If you really don't believe it, you can go to those inns and ask if you have no money. Can you stay here for one night and see what the waiters say? It's okay. As long as you don't really stay in, they won't do anything to you. of."

As soon as his thoughts changed, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly laughed.

After hearing this, Zhao Mingyang hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and ran towards an inn not far behind him.

Within three minutes, Zhao Mingyang ran out of the inn as fast as his butt was on fire. It wasn't until he ran to Zhang Jingyuan that he felt a sense of security.

He glanced at the inn behind him with lingering fear.

He really said that just now, and the waiter actually let him stay even if he didn't have money.

It's so scary!

I really want to chop him into pieces and make him into a bun filled with human flesh.

If he were somewhere else, he might really think he had met a kind person, but after having witnessed everything in Sanpoji and hearing what Zhang Jingyuan said, no matter how stupid he was, he would not think so.

Gently tugging on Zhang Jingyuan's clothes, Zhao Mingyang followed closely.

Seeing Zhang Jingyuan's half-smiling gaze, Zhao Mingyang deliberately turned his face away, as if as long as he couldn't see, nothing had happened, and his timidity and fear had never existed.

However, he grabbed Zhang Jingyuan's hand at the corner of his clothes and unconsciously pressed harder.

After entering the inn, Zhao Mingyang found that the inside of the inn was much worse than the outside. In addition, the price was really expensive.

The black shop he just went to only cost fifty spirit coins a night, but here, a stay here costs two hundred spirit coins, and the conditions are so bad.

"Looking at it, it only costs two hundred spirit coins to save your own life. Don't you suddenly feel that it is much cheaper?"

When he arrived at the room, seeing that Zhao Mingyang finally relaxed, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but joke.

"That's true, but, Brother Jing, how do you know these things?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Mingyang finally expressed a question that he had had since entering Sanpoji.

There was no way, Zhang Jingyuan showed that he was too familiar with this place, and he talked about all the family treasures in a very clear way. If Zhang Jingyuan didn't have the experience of coming to Sanpoji ten or eight times, he wouldn't believe it.

"Because I've been here before. When I was curious, I ran over here secretly. But when I came here for the first time, I didn't even enter the inn. I just squatted in a corner and secretly observed and looked inside. people and things.”

Zhang Jingyuan glanced at Zhao Mingyang with a half-smile, and then said nonchalantly.

As soon as he walked into Sanpoji, he noticed that Zhao Mingyang looked at him in the wrong way, and now he couldn't help but asked.

However, just ask, as far as their relationship is concerned, it would be strange if Zhao Mingyang didn't ask. Would he even doubt that this was the Zhao Mingyang he was familiar with?
You won't be snatched away by some old devil, right?
This kind of thing is really nothing new in the world of cultivation.

As for whether his lie was full of loopholes, it didn't matter. Zhao Mingyang believed it. In his previous life, during the nearly a hundred years of getting along with him, he didn't know how many times he had fooled Zhao Mingyang. He always fooled his family.

No matter what he said, no matter how outrageous it was, Zhao Mingyang would believe it.

"Brother Jing, you are so brave, so awesome!"

As expected, Zhao Mingyang opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhang Jingyuan in disbelief. After a few breaths, he gave Zhang Jingyuan a thumbs up.

After resting for a while and having a simple dinner, Zhang Jingyuan took Zhao Mingyang to the street.

Originally, Zhao Mingyang didn't want to eat because he was really frightened by the human meat buns before, but he couldn't bear the feeling of dissatisfaction in his stomach. After all, he was also a person who had been running away all day.

Not long after he arrived on the street, a message suddenly appeared on the panel in front of Zhang Jingyuan [Yin Jielong (fourth level of Qi Refining) will teach you the first-level theft technique]
