Chapter 223: Is it an idol or Tang Monk meat?
The news that Fairy Qingyuan appeared in the Great Yan Dynasty spread throughout the imperial capital like wings. In Mingyue City, both common people and powerful cultivators wanted to see the fairy's true appearance with their own eyes.
There are also some people with ulterior motives who want to determine Jiang Jiu's whereabouts.
Legend has it that Fairy Qingyuan escaped from marriage to the Immortal Lord and fled to the lower world. If one could report Fairy Qingyuan's whereabouts to the Immortal Lord, wouldn't he be able to rise to prominence?
No matter what the reason, Jiang Jiu is like Tang Monk's meat at this moment, and everyone wants to see it with their own eyes.
As soon as Jiang Jiu entered the city, she felt several vague gazes on her. Due to her super strength, no one dared to provoke her, but there were quite a few people who secretly watched her.
The girl's face was as cold and pure as the moon in the sky, the lotus on the snow mountain, her skin was as white as ice and her eyes were cold but seemed to contain light. The moment they saw her face, many people held their breath, not daring to destroy the beauty before their eyes.
Every step she took seemed to be stepping on people's hearts.
Even those with dark hearts cannot harbor the slightest desire to disrespect her.
However, the fairy walked really fast. In the blink of an eye, she flashed from the city gate to the downtown area. The street was crowded with people. Jiang Jiu tried his best to hide himself in the crowd, but the effect was not very good.
Her aura is too special to be ignored.
Jiang Jiu suddenly remembered that she had learned the art of concealing her breath. Her eyes rolled and her breath disappeared almost completely, as if she had vanished from the spot.
"Phew, that's great."
Jiang Jiu went into a dark alley and patted his chest, feeling that he had survived a disaster.
However, after being here for so long, she has become somewhat desensitized to the crowd. If there weren't so many people staring at her, she wouldn't hide.
after all....
I promised my inner demon that I would change myself.
"Why, do you miss me?"
The inner demon rushed out from behind Jiang Jiu, blinking his red eyes and asked in a joking tone.
"No!"
Jiang Jiu's face turned dark. Even if there was a demon-sealing formation, the inner demon and she still had a subtle telepathy. As long as she thought of her, she would appear quickly, very punctually.
"I don't believe it."
The inner demon spread his hands and spoke in a disdainful tone.
“....”
Jiang Jiu didn't want to argue with her inner demon about this issue, so she simply shut up.
At the same time, whispered discussions were heard in the dark alley.
"Have you visited the temple east of the city? It's really effective!"
There was excitement in the man's voice, and it was obvious that he had gained something.
"But Weilan said something's not right over there, so we'd better not go. What if that thing is some wild god or Buddha? Be careful not to get possessed."
There was obvious hesitation in the other man's voice.
"Tsk, the timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony. What's wrong with wild gods and wild Buddhas? The ones who can fulfill wishes are the good gods."
"Now I've finally saved enough money to move out of that damn place."
"Just listen to that bastard's nonsense and rot in an alley for the rest of your life!"
The man obviously disdained this and did not listen to the other person, and the two parted on bad terms.
Jiang Jiu always felt that the name Wei Lan... seemed a little familiar. Suddenly, she remembered the thin young man in the Zhao Mansion. Even though the Zhao Mansion was already extremely dilapidated, he was still guarding the place and his younger brothers and sisters, struggling to survive.
"It's not the same one, is it?"
Jiang Jiu was a little uncertain, and he unconsciously followed the direction the two people left, wanting to know if the Weilan that person was talking about was Zhao Weilan.
The dark alley was winding and Jiang Jiu followed it for a long time before he got deeper into it.
The scene inside surprised Jiang Jiu a little.
When he first entered Mingyue City, even the common people were wearing silk and satin, and he thought that the people of Dayan lived a very rich life. However, the scene before him completely overturned Jiang Jiu's imagination.
The doors of every house were locked, the roads were dark, and there wasn't even a lantern hanging at the door. If Jiang Jiu hadn't followed out of curiosity, it would have been difficult to find this place.
From the outside, this place looks very run-down, and the people who push the door open are dressed in rags, which is completely different from the outside.
"What's going on?"
The inner demon was also a little surprised. She flew forward a long way and went into a house. She quickly came out again and flew in front of Jiang Jiu.
"The government forbids the people living here from lighting lanterns, and forbids outsiders from discovering this place, fearing that it will affect Dayan's appearance of prosperity. That's why this place is so dark."
Her tone was filled with sighs, and she clearly despised Dayan's behavior.
"It really is a feudal dynasty..."
Jiang Jiu frowned slightly. Although she couldn't bear to see such a scene, this was the status quo of this era and she was powerless to change it.
Even if she helped today, she could only change the fate of a small number of people.
Besides....
Human hearts are too complicated.
"I just want to confirm whether that Weilan is Zhao Weilan."
Jiang Jiu walked a long way into the alley again, and suddenly heard the sound he had just heard.
"Wei Lan, they say you're a charlatan. I'm afraid the alleys can't accommodate you. Do you want to leave first?"
The man's tone was filled with worry.
"No, if we offer sacrifices to the wild god, everyone in this alley will be harmed. We can't just watch this happen."
The boy's voice was firm, and traces of his past could still be heard faintly, but he no longer sounded sickly, but was full of energy.
"It's really him."
Jiang Jiu paused, his eyes fixed on one of the doors, and he walked forward and knocked gently.
"who?!"
The conversation was interrupted by Jiang Jiu's knock on the door, and alertness immediately rose from inside.
"...ginger wine."
When the name was heard, the sound inside the door disappeared instantly. There was silence for a long time and no one spoke. It was so quiet that it seemed as if there was no one inside.
Jiang Jiu fell into self-doubt. Hadn't she helped Zhao Weilan before? Why didn't this person come out to see her?
Just as Jiang Jiu was in a daze, the door suddenly creaked open and a head popped out. When the man's eyes met Jiang Jiu's face, his alertness instantly turned into dementia.
“Really…really…really…”
The man stammered and took a half step back, and then a familiar face appeared behind him.
"Fairy...Fairy...Why are you here?"
Zhao Weilan blushed deeply. She had never expected to meet Jiang Jiu here.
Jiang Jiu looked at the boy's red cheeks and a big question mark appeared in his head.
When you see your savior again, is it normal to blush?
“Just passing by.”
Jiang Jiu replied calmly.
"Ah? Oh oh...Okay, fairy, please come in."
Zhao Weilan was obviously stunned when she heard the answer, then she pulled the door open stiffly and moved sideways to let Jiang Jiu in.
If you look closely, you can see his fingers nervously pinching his sleeves, and thin beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Um."
Jiang Jiu nodded slightly and stepped over the threshold.
