living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 289 Inquiry
After saying goodbye to the farmer, Mu Lan took her companions into a tea house, where all kinds of people came and went, and it was the best place to get information.

I used another spirit stone to exchange a lot of money with the farmer. Although it was a loss on the books, Mu Lan's natural spirit stone is not easy to spend here, and it is suspicious to take it out, so I don't feel distressed.

"Everyone, please."

The waiter greeted him enthusiastically and wiped the tables for the guests quickly. He stared at the male guest in the group, looked at Zhao Ziyu, and then at Afeng.

Ah Feng naturally didn't like to talk, so Zhao Ziyu said casually, "Have a pot of tea, and some snacks."

"Okay!" The waiter nodded sharply.

"Wait."

The waiter looked at Mu Lan who was speaking, and saw her quietly handing over a piece of silver.

"Tell us what happened in the city recently."

The waiter sneaked a glance behind him, seeing that the shopkeeper was not paying attention to him, he quickly stuffed the money into his clothes, and his movements were very skillful. It seems that this kind of tipping is not uncommon.

"This guest is really beautiful and generous." The waiter parted ways with a flattering smile, then lowered his voice and whispered, "Something happens every day in this city of clear water. I wonder what aspect you want to know about?"

"It's just trivial things." Mu Lan said with a light smile, "Tell me something unusual and interesting."

"Unusual." The waiter frowned, thought for a moment, and then scanned around Mu Lan's table.

"Everyone has come from afar. Although our Clear Water City is not a big city in Dongji State, it has a lot of sects and is quite famous."

"Do you know that our city lord has changed?"

"Swapped?" Mu Lan thought of what the farmer said, her eyes flashed, and motioned for him to continue.

"The head of the city changed to the King's Banner. This was the territory of the Sanqingzong last month, but now it belongs to the Tianyin Pavilion. It is said that the previous city lord died in the mansion, and his head was hung on a tree!"

"Recently, the world is not peaceful, and there are more water bandits on the side of the Bishui River. The relatives of Zhang Blacksmith's family were murdered for money the day before yesterday."

After Xiaoer Dian retreated, Mu Lan began to digest the information. This world is not as peaceful and peaceful as it was when I first saw it. Fighting with weapons between sects is common, but it seems that there is no imperial court here. The door is divided.

Mu Lan glanced at the environment in the teahouse. There is another floor above, which is used to open an inn, and said: "Let's stay here overnight, and then we will split up and find a way to start the main task."

"What do you want me to do!" Lin Yiyi was very excited about this kind of task, and couldn't wait to take a stroll outside.

Mu Lan glanced at her. She still remembers the ugly thing she did when exchanging money in [Winner is King] last time. This girl always has abnormal brain circuits. It is safer to let her act with Zhao Ziyu.

"We need to change our outfits. You and Yiyi, Ziyu, go shopping for some clothes. In addition, we need to learn more about the local customs, sect sects and other information. Ah Feng and I will settle this." Mu Lan looked at the whole time The silent Ah Feng said, "I have no objection."

Ah Feng nodded, and then continued to drink tea in silence.

"Seggs, I will also send him out, and if the money is not enough, tell him."

Mu Lan felt that the money exchanged from the farmer should not be enough to spend. At this time, the abyssal demon who came and went without a trace came in handy. She ignored the resentment of Seggs in her mind. To be honest, it is a bit overkill for him to do this kind of dirty work. up.

"There will definitely be academies, bookstores and other places in Bishui City. You need to steal some general knowledge books." Mu Lan confessed to Seggs, this is the fastest way to understand the whole world .

Seggs snorted coldly, but still agreed.

After taking a rest in the teahouse, after the tasks were assigned, they booked two guest rooms here, and after finishing the work, Mu Lan returned to the busy city below.

It was a little different from what she had imagined at the beginning. Mu Lan thought that this was a world of high martial arts where everyone could fly with a sword, but she had never seen many capable people along the way except for farmers and a few soldiers at the city gate. .

After asking Ah Feng beside him, he said that there were some people in the crowd who could be seen as Lianjiazi, but there were no strong people with advanced cultivation bases. Clear Water City looked like an ordinary ancient city.

Mu Lan looked around, Bishui City was a thriving scene, the streets were crowded with pedestrians, there were taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the road, and there were many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open space, who were shouting loudly at the moment. with.

Lin Yiyi led Zhao Ziyu into the clothing store where she was buying clothes, and Mu Lan was attracted by a busker in a corner area, so she walked over with great interest.

Squeeze away the crowd of onlookers, and you can see a few martial artists who are performing. The big man with a big waist is pressing a huge boulder on his chest. The onlookers applauded.

In this circle, there are warriors with broken boulders in their chests, as well as jugglers with diabolos and jars, but Mu Lan looked curiously at a young boy. There were only a few people around him, but what he showed The ability attracted her.

The boy didn't wear a bun, and his head was bald, with only a small cap on top of his head. Coupled with his dull eyes, he looked a bit dull; he was not tall, and he looked only twelve or thirteen years old. At that time, he repeatedly waved his palm and punched the candle five meters away in front of him.

Every time he swung his palm, the candle would be disturbed by a gust of airflow. After another set of punches, the candle was finally extinguished, and the young man showed no expression. He stepped forward to relight the candle in a daze, and repeated the above operation again. .

There was a bowl at the boy's feet, but there were only a few copper coins in it. Mu Lan was amused to see that such a perfunctory showmanship could be rewarded by someone.

A man and a woman next to him saw him repeating the same set of movements repeatedly, but he just extinguished a candle. They felt that there was nothing new, so they walked away resentfully, and complained a few words before leaving.

"What are you doing, it doesn't make any sense at all."

"Let's go, my brother will take you to see the broken boulder on the chest."

Mu Lan threw a piece of broken silver into the bowl, and the young man turned his head after hearing the crisp sound, his eyes finally had some youthful color, and he didn't look so dull.

So he waved his palms in the air more vigorously, but it was still the same set of palms, I don't know how many times he repeated it here.

"Qi." Ah Feng said.

Mu Lan nodded. That's right, this young man has internal energy, but he doesn't use it skillfully.

When the ancient martial arts practitioners reach a certain level, they will feel the qi in the dantian in the body, which is internal force.

After stabilizing this energy and condensing it into true energy, the so-called foundation building is completed, the cornerstone of self-improvement and seeking the way to the sky is achieved, and one becomes a true monk.

"Maybe this young man is from the sect?" Mu Lan said in a low voice.

Just when he was about to make friends with the young man, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several men wearing blue straight-fronted robes with unfriendly expressions suddenly broke in.

The martial artists and jugglers all stood in place cautiously. These uninvited guests just glanced at them and walked straight towards the boy.

"This is the site of Tianyin Pavilion. You Qiyun Temple performed here without permission. Have you paid the tax?"

The people headed by Tianyin Pavilion looked down at the porcelain bowl, sneered at the corner of their mouths, and then kicked it away.

The copper coins were scattered all over the ground, the young man let out a cry of surprise, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the young man lying on the ground picking up coins, these people burst into laughter.

"This kind of dilapidated sect should be disbanded as soon as possible. It really embarrasses Dongji State."

"I heard that they still have to participate in the trial of Xianzong, they are simply overwhelmed."
