I will survive with proficiency

If you want to talk about where you can get all kinds of news without spending money, and without attracting attention, Chengdongfang City is the first to bear the brunt.

Chengdong Fang City is a Fang City, and it is also an excellent place for boring casual practice and chatting.

If Chen Ping wanted to know how far yesterday's incidents had gone, of course he had to go to Chengdongfang City.

In the square city, it is still very lively.

Chen Ping squatted on the side of the road, put the "Nine Breeze Swords" on the booth and pretended to sell it, and easily entered a group of chattering monks.

In fact, there is no need to deliberately inquire, because most of the issues in Fangshi focus on Qi Jianglun.

"Hey, you guys don't know, the fire was burning, the flames reached the sky, and even the two houses next to it were burned."

"This cultivator has also heard about it. If it wasn't for the arrival of two fellow Taoists who know water spells at the end, I am afraid that all the houses in that row would have to be burned down."

"Is Qi Jianglun dead?"

"Who knows? The few corpses that were fished out at the end have long been burnt, and their faces have been completely changed. How can they be recognized?"

"I heard it's Qi Jianglun's body."

"You can't live by doing your own crimes. Qi Jianglun has cheated people a lot these years. Do you remember Wang Daoyou last year? He made a good talisman, and then disappeared inexplicably. Many people privately rumored that it was Qi Jianglun who did it."

"He, if he didn't live next to Chief Zhou's house, someone would have attacked him long ago. This time he has encountered a tough problem."

"."

"This Lianyun City, it's really not a good day, all these things happen." Chen Ping sighed calmly.

If you want to break into the masses, the best way is to open your own wounds, complain about the hardships of your life, and let others feel superior.

Sure enough, after his sentence, a monk answered immediately.

"Who says it's not? I heard that the city defense has let go, and I will not stop until I find out the truth this time. It is said that someone saw the arsonist last night."

"It is said that Qi Jianglun's apprentices, those with high cultivation levels, have been questioned one by one this morning. The same is true for his gambling friends."

"This cultivator has a friend who is on duty in the city defense. I heard that the city defense actually wants to make a big problem smaller, but it is said that the gambling house has put a lot of pressure on the city defense, so they have to investigate."

"."

Casino?

Chen Ping was taken aback.

What does it have to do with the casino.

But he held back and still didn't ask. He focused on listening, and it was easy to make mistakes if he asked too much.

"What does it have to do with the casino?" A bald monk asked Chen Ping's doubts.

Thank you fellow daoist Lei Chen Ping said silently.

"I don't know. It is said that Qi Jianglun still owes the gambling house a lot of spirit stones. Maybe the gambling shop is unwilling to collect the money."

It shouldn't be.

In this case, the gambling house usually only needs to recover Qi Jianglun's property. Even if the murderer is found, there may not be a spirit stone for the gambling house to pay off the debt.

Can actually put pressure on the city defense?

Could it be that the gambling house is so powerful that it can compete with the city defense?

Or is there another secret?

"How capable is the gambling house?" the bald monk asked again.

Good brother. Chen Ping bowed his hands in his heart to express his thanks.

"Who knows? No one knows who the owner of the casino is. It's very hidden."

"Hey, I'm afraid there is no safe life in Lianyun City."

"It's better to stay in the house. My monk and Taoist couple gave birth to a daughter a few days ago. She has beautiful features and fair skin. She looks pretty." A dark monk with a crooked mouth said.

"."

Seeing that everyone's chat topics started to go off track, Chen Ping lost the interest to continue chatting.

I silently summed up what I just heard:

1. The city defense has already begun to investigate, and it is the kind that will not stop until the truth is found out.

Second, Qi Jianglun's identity is not simple.

3. Qi Jianglun's apprentices and gamblers became the first batch of suspects.

All three are very unfriendly to myself.

Looks like it's time to get ready.

certainly.

There are also factors working in his favor.

1. Qi Jianglun's reputation is not very good, which means that there are many people who want to kill him, whether they don't like him or want to kill him for money.

2. My own cultivation base is very low, and I have never exposed it. And Qi Jianglun has a high level of cultivation, so it is not easy to be suspected.

If the identity of the monk with facial paralysis is investigated, he will not doubt himself even more.

3. The caravan will arrive in five days, and then they can leave. After that, it doesn't matter even if it is found out again.

What's more, once the case is suspected in the direction of 'arson', those who can fireball will be the first to be suspected.

And me, no.

Within five days, most of them won't find me.

‘Five days, fleeting. And what I need to do is to prepare to leave quietly within these five days. '

‘This time, I can’t tell anyone, including He Xianxiang, in advance. Just leave quietly. '

Chen Ping was clear about the current situation and what he was going to do next, so he didn't feel nervous anymore.

Just treat it normally.

"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell "Nine Breeze Swords"?" The voice of a monk begging for an ancient book rang in his ears.

Chen Ping came back to his senses:

"5 spirit stones."

Buying monks: .

"You... are as expensive as the ones sold by shops? How can there be a fellow Taoist who sells ancient books like this?" The monk Qiubu was obviously very knowledgeable, and got up dissatisfied.

"I have notes, it's worth the money." Chen Ping gave an explanation.

The begging monk left with a dark face.

Chen Ping let out a dumb laugh, closed the stall and left.

It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, and he's not really selling it, and he hasn't finished his practice yet.

In the city.

Bookstore.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any books on geography?" After Chen Ping left Chengdongfang City, he went directly to the store in the city.

Chen Ping has been to this shop several times, and it was here that he bought "Bone Removal and Shape Change". It is the largest ancient book store in the city.

"Geography? Fellow Daoist, wait a moment." The shopkeeper turned back to search the shelf for a while, then shook his head: "No, no, it's been a long time since any guest officer bought a book on Geography in this store, and it's probably out of stock."

Chen Ping felt a little regretful.

Objectively speaking, Lianyun City has never experienced any major crisis in the past 100 years since its establishment.

Even though many people lament that Lianyun City has not had a peaceful life, the life here is actually much better than many places.

If things go on like this, many monks have gotten used to the life here, and they don't have the blood to go out and explore the mysterious universe.

Gradually, there are fewer and fewer useless books like geography.

But when Chen Ping was about to leave, the shopkeeper said again:

"Oh, fellow daoists are really lucky. I found one, and it's the last one in this store."

Chen Ping was overjoyed and habitually inquired first:

"How much?"

"This is the last book. I've made friends. I'll sell it for 50 taels of gold."

this.

This friend is set.

Chen Ping was not negotiating the price, he decisively gave the gold and left with the book.

When passing by a medicinal material shop, Chen Ping really wanted to buy some medicinal materials to soak for himself, which might help him recover from internal injuries as soon as possible.

But at this time, buying these medicinal materials was too eye-catching, so I gave up.

It's better to be safe and let yourself recover slowly.

Then I went to the butcher shop and bought ten catties of monster meat. Not surprisingly, I found that the price of monster meat had dropped again. Now one spirit stone can buy a full 15 catties of monster meat, which is outrageously cheap.

According to this price, there is no need to eat Lingmi, but stewed monster meat every day.

It seems that there are more monsters in the forest.

But these have nothing to do with me, I will leave the corner soon and go to the big city.

Chen Ping was calm.
