The world of Taoism

Chapter 72 I Refuse (Please recommend for favorites)

The night was hazy and the wind was howling.

The six rode on horses and galloped towards the county city.

Now is not the time to hide, there are still two days before the destination.

When I came to the side of the official road, suddenly a handsome man walked out beside me.

Zhou Xuan glanced at this person and stopped immediately.

"Why are you here? Do you want to go together too?" Zhou Xuan asked.

The person in front of him was He Yingning, Zhou Xuan didn't call her, but unexpectedly followed her.

He Yingning shook her head, with a complex expression on her face, and said, "I might slow you down if I go, so let's keep it as a housekeeper..."

After getting along for such a period of time, He Yingning did discover her own shortcomings.

Not daring to kill, weak combat experience.

What is about to be done now is very important, and He Yingning knows the importance.

"Then what are you here for?" Zhou Xuan smiled. Could it be that you came here specifically to see him off?
"Take it! Save it!" He Yingning raised his hand, and an object flew over.

Zhou Xuan took the things and found that there were two wooden plaques in his hand, one was carved with a white crane, and the other was carved with Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass.

The wooden sign exudes a faint fragrance, similar to the fragrance of flowers, and the cold wooden sign has a hint of warmth.

It turned out to be the second type of crane grass card.

Good stuff!

It can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, and this time the confidence has increased.

"Come back alive!" He Yingning shrugged and disappeared into the night sky.

"must!"

The horseshoes sounded urgently, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

The six of them stopped and went, instead of staying overnight along the way, they found a ruined temple by the side of the road.

Set off immediately at dawn.

Two days later, the crowd arrived outside a city.

The city wall is tall, and there are two rows of soldiers guarding the gate.

Pedestrians and carriages kept coming in and out, and the flow of people was abnormally high.

As one of the most prosperous places in Yangzhou, Jiangnan County receives caravans from various places every day, which is very prosperous.

Zhou Xuan and the others changed into casual clothes, and seeing the surging crowd, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Jiangnan County is so prosperous, it is estimated to be second to none in the whole country.

But think about it, now the dynasty is gradually declining, there is drought in the northwest, floods in the south, and barbarians are rebelling in the east.

Although there are only signs, there are also signs of chaos in the world.

Only here in the south of the Yangtze River is the weather is smooth and prosperous.

Living here, I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky.

The few people were not made things difficult by the city gate guards, and entered the city directly.

The streets are crowded with people, the smell of snacks, and the sound of street vendors are endless.

The six pretended to be merchants and sat down in the teahouse.

"The target is in the east city, where the officials live. I'm afraid we can't make a big move there," Zhou Xuan said.

Dongcheng is equivalent to a wealthy area. The yamen is located in Dongcheng, and most of the surrounding areas are lived by dignitaries.

And the mandrill that Zhou Xuan was looking for lived in the Lin Mansion.

It is said that mandrill's original surname is Lin, but no one remembers his real name, only that his name is mandrill.

"We can go again at night," Monday said.

After they took Zishuxing Wan, they all had the ability to fly over the wall.

Coupled with the strength increased by taking rhubarb pills, almost all of them can be regarded as martial arts masters with infinite strength.

Hidden walking at night is not a big problem.

late at night.

Several figures jumped in the shadows at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This area is where high-ranking officials and nobles live, and the high-end mansions are easy to hide.

Zhou Xuan and others came to a mansion.

The facade of this mansion is tall, giving people a sense of majesty and depth.

At this time, the gate was closed tightly, and the vermilion gate looked a little scary and gloomy under the darkness of night.

This is where the Lin Mansion is located.

If Zhang Bo's information is correct, the mandrill should be here.

But I'm not sure, after all, this guy is injured, so maybe he goes to hide somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan took the Crane Grass Type [-] card, turned his head and said to Zhou Yi and the others: "I'll go in and find out first, and you are responsible for setting the fire."

Whenever you want to cause chaos, setting fire is always the best choice.

Just when Zhou Xuan wanted to go in, a sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart.

"Stop!" Zhou Xuan called everyone to stop, then closed his eyes and recited the mantra.

For a moment, the surrounding sounds seemed to be amplified and clearly entered Zhou Xuan's ears.

bang bang bang...

A series of heartbeats came, a total of six.

They were Zhou Xuan and the guards respectively. There was no sound from the direction of the Lin residence, and it seemed extremely quiet.

It was too quiet, and it seemed a little weird.

bang bang bang...

Suddenly, a heartbeat broke in.

Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, and he looked backward.

The voice is there!

Someone was watching them secretly.

The sound of the heartbeat gradually faded away, and Zhou Xuan hurriedly led his men to catch up.

The speed of the few people was very fast, and they left this place quickly between a few jumps.

The crowd chased to the wilderness, and a black figure stood on a tree in front of them.

The black shadow is wearing a red robe, on which is embroidered with golden silk the mythical beast with its fangs and claws.

Wearing a black crown on his head and a golden belt cinching his slender waist, he looks full of heroism.

The black shadow stopped, and Zhou Xuan and others also stopped.

Hei Ying turned around, and a face with delicate features, a jade-like face, and a heroic face appeared in front of Zhou Xuan and the others.

This person turned out to be Lian Hongyu!
"You violated the rules, and you dared to sneak attack on the mandrill, don't you know that the mandrill is the superior?" Lian Hongyu crossed his arms and said with a smile.

"So you're here to stop me?" Zhou Xuan smiled.

You are only allowed to make trouble for yourself, but you are not allowed to get it back. What is the reason for this?
"You seem a little unconvinced, but the rules are like this, the strong decide the fate of the weak."

"What does it matter how many people the mandrill kills each year? Not to mention the mandrill, which big family doesn't bury a slave? There are not many souls in the well? The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are the fundamental principles of the operation of the Dao."

Lian Hongyu leaned against the big tree, holding a big black bow with her white fingers, her petite figure was in stark contrast to the big bow.

"He killed my people and attacked me, so what?" Zhou Xuan said.

"It's just a few slaves, what's their fate?"

"You kill his subordinates, and he sneaks up on you. It's even, and we don't owe each other."

When Lian Hongyu spoke, her tone was full of indifference, and it seemed that she really thought so.

It was only then that Zhou Xuan realized that the thinking of the aristocratic family was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people would act according to the law if they killed someone, but nobles would not be punished if they killed someone.

When someone came to kill him, no one came out to stop him.

Now Zhou Xuan fought back, but one by one jumped out instead.

"So you must stop me today?" Zhou Xuan asked again with a smile on his face.

"Let's go! I'm doing this for your own good. The other party is powerful. With your strength, you probably can't beat him. It's not worth doing this for a little conflict."

"You will understand the rules in the future, this little human life is nothing."

Zhou Xuan turned and left, walked a few steps, and suddenly looked back.

At some point, a hideous mask was put on the face, and the curved horn pointed to the sky, like a demon god.

"It makes sense, but I refuse! As a person, I like to say no to self-righteous people the most in my life!"
