Infinite Sims

Chapter 223
December 23, daytime, light snow.

Lin'an City, South Gate.

A group of Dazhao people queuing up to enter the city were all shivering due to the cold temperature, sometimes rubbing their hands, sometimes raising them to breathe for warmth.

Because the waiting time was too long, few people looked enviously at the left passage.

In the spacious passage, horses and carriages carrying people and goods passed quickly.

The majority of the barbarians entered the city without even being interrogated, while the few Dazhao people just stopped for a while before entering, which was far from comparable to the long line on the right.

call--

Gusts of cold wind blew past the city gate, eating up tiny snowflakes and taking away the warmth from many people.

Seeing the slow progress of the team, many people couldn't help complaining in low voices.

Among them are a few young people with a decent family background and a touch of literati.

"In such a cold day, you still need to check, and the check is still so slow, damn it!"

"When I came here last month, it wasn't so strict."

"Who says no? At that time, it was just a random question, and it would not be as detailed as it is now."

"Speaking of which, this is actually related to one thing."

"Oh, Brother Deng, can you tell us more about it?"

"This is what I overheard a few people with extraordinary manners at the next table when I was drinking. I can't guarantee whether it's true or not."

"It's okay, just say it."

"This matter cannot be spread indiscriminately, or it may lead to disasters. You all get involved."

"Speak up, speak up."

"In the past month, a total of more than a dozen counties have experienced weird and bizarre incidents. Some demons have used taboo and evil methods to desecrate corpses and manipulate them to attack people they meet along the way. It is said that no less than [-] people have been killed."

"The way of the demon? Taboo and evil law? No less than [-] people killed?"

"Brother Deng, do you think I'm going to be dizzy from the cold, so you can make up a story to tease me?"

"I knew a few of my dear friends wouldn't believe it, but all I heard was these words, and they were even more exaggerated than me."

"Brother Deng, are you sure you haven't been tricked?"

"I couldn't believe it at first, but their topic also included the encirclement and suppression of Taoism. In the past few days, I have seen several Taoist priests in Taoist temples. Regardless of their background, they were all ransacked and imprisoned. The entire Taoist temple followed Burn the fire."

"If that's the case, maybe it's really possible."

"Unless I see it with my own eyes, I don't believe it."

"What to do if you think about it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me waiting... Don't talk about it when I wait."

Several people immediately stopped communicating and moved away from each other.

When the last person stepped back, he looked at the old and the young behind him with feeling, and immediately covered his nose in dissatisfaction.

Born in a wealthy family, he didn't want such a farmer to approach him, so he turned around and walked forward.

"Hypocritical."

The old man among the two farmers couldn't help chuckling when he saw the scholar pulling away from him.

Of course he is not a real farmer, but Jiang Ren in disguise, and the young man with him is also Wan Jinghao in disguise.

"In the past month, I have never pretended to be a Taoist priest. There must be someone behind this incident."

"But it's hard to say whether it's because of personal enmity, religious disputes, or simply looking for a scapegoat."

Jiang Ren did not fully believe the words of the previous scholars.

He also has no empathy for the destroyed Taoist temple.

Now that he has accepted alien rule, no matter what the reason is, he can only blame himself for misfortune.

At this time, a snowflake hung on his eyebrows.

"Don't say it, the quality of this human leather mask is not bad."

Jiang Ren raised his hand to shake off the snowflakes, his fingertips slowly brushed across his face.

Although I couldn't feel a tactile sensation, the skin was extremely real and elastic, and even if I got close, I couldn't see anything abnormal.

No one will find out that the body under the mask is actually a bone without flesh and skin.

[Item: Human Skin Mask]

[Introduction: With it, you have a new identity]

[Remarks: After being made by a master human skin mask, the living people who have been fed with medicine for a hundred days, and the skin of the body is completely peeled off with a special peeling technique, using as many as a hundred kinds of materials, and it takes three years to refine it. , both artistry and practicality]

It is not a hood-style that covers the head, but a full-body style that covers the entire body.

"It's not easy."

Jiang Ren spent more than 4000 essences on this mask before he got it through the portable mall. Luck and essences are indispensable.

It was precisely because of it that I had the idea of ​​going to the city during the day to find out news.

As for Wan Jinghao, he wore a pigtail wig.

"You two, whose surname is whose name? Where do you live?"

After nearly two quarters of an hour, Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao came to the front of the team, facing two guards who looked impatient.

"You two officials, this is our guide."

Jiang Ren led Lu over tremblingly.

It is said to be a guide, but it is actually two pieces of bamboo that record the identity and origin information. This is something that has only been available for nearly a week.

The defenders glanced at the content on the road guide, and cursed: "Both of you have no words? Can't you speak for yourself?"

I almost forgot that the literacy rate in this world is not high, and it may be a bit unnecessary to prepare for this.

Jiang Ren coughed "weakly" twice, Wan Jinghao supported his shoulder with concern, and replied: "My name is Chen Tang, this is my father, Chen Han, and we come from Chenjia Village."

"Chenjia Village is nearly a day away from here, and it's been very cold these days."

The guards looked at them and asked again: "Why do you still come to Ancheng?"

Jiang Ren sighed, and said with a sad face: "The house at home was collapsed by the snow, and the food was soaked in water and moldy. If we stay any longer, we can only wait for death, so we have to come to Ancheng to join relatives."

The two city guards looked at each other before stepping out of the way: "Go in."

Immediately afterwards, they added: "You better be vigilant, there are many nobles in the city, if you offend any nobleman, disaster will happen to you, and so will your relatives."

"We know, thank you two officials."

Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao nodded their thanks, and immediately entered the city without looking back.

After walking no more than a hundred steps, all kinds of hawkers and pedestrians appeared in front of them, accompanied by various cries of hawking.

As a strategic city that runs through the north and south.

The population and prosperity of this city far surpassed that of the former Ye City.

"Jiang Ren, why do you think some people like pig tails?"

Looking at the continuous flow of people ahead, Wan Jinghao said in a deep voice, "Ugly and disgusting, it's like treating yourself as a beast, and there are still people who are proud of it."

Seeing that everyone has a pig's tail on the back of their heads, and thinking that this is a spiritual and cultural castration, he couldn't calm down.

"Because most of the rebels are dead."

Just as Jiang Ren replied, he heard a rush of horseshoes from behind, and quickly grabbed Wan Jinghao's arm and dodged aside.

A tall, snow-white horse galloped past and nearly hit them.

"Go away, go away, you bastards, let me go away!"

On the back of the white horse is a barbarian boy, not only does not have the slightest intention to slow down, but is still shouting loudly.

Due to the high speed, a middle-aged man from Zhao couldn't dodge.

Snapped!
The barbarian boy grinned grimly, and quickly swung a long whip.

The long whip pierced through the air, and hit the middle-aged Zhao Ren heavily on the back, pulling several pieces of his clothes out of the gap, leaving a not-so-light bloodstain on his back.

Suddenly, the middle-aged Zhao fell to the ground screaming.

"A dog with no eyes!"

The barbarian boy didn't stop, but turned his head and cursed.

Following his departure, several barbarians on steeds and dozens of fast running barbarians passed by soon.

Judging from their appearance, they should all have practiced martial arts, and they may be the guards of the barbarian boy.

During this process, the middle-aged Zhaoren struggled to get up from the ground, staggered into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers also gradually dispersed.

There was no reaction from their slightly numb expressions, not even a single discussion, as if they were used to it.

"Hateful, pitiful, pathetic."

Wan Jinghao felt aggrieved when he saw this scene.

What is hateful is the savage man driving the horse, what is pitiful is the Dazhao man who was beaten, and what is sad is the numb crowd around him.

Jiang Ren patted Wan Jinghao on the shoulder and said nothing.

Even though Wan Jinghao's lives were close to four digits along the way, he still couldn't change his mind much.

But this is also normal, not everyone can experience a lot of life like myself, he is already bearish about many things, and his mood will not change much.

"Brother, may I ask who was the young man driving the horse just now?"

Jiang Ren took a few steps and grabbed an old man who was about to leave.

Seeing his clothes, the old man patted the captured clothes in distaste, and said, "This is the first time you've come to Ancheng?"

"Yes, come to join relatives."

A few lines of humble smiles appeared on Jiang Ren's face at the right time.

The old man looked at Wan Jinghao who was next to him again, and said, "That's Albai, the youngest son of Hetuo, the leader of Jian'an City, Dutong inlaid with the Chiqi Banner."

"Inlaid red flag."

Hearing this name, Jiang Ren remembered the information about the Nine Banners.

Although the inlaid red flag is not the upper three flags certified by the barbarian emperor, its overall strength is enough to rank third, and its fierce power is rarely matched.

"Since my son is here, I won't be too far away. I finally caught a big fish."

After bidding farewell to the old man, Jiang Ren took Wan Jinghao away.

After finding a real estate agent in this world and buying a remote yard, I finally have a place to stay.

If he only plans to stay for a day or two, then the inn is undoubtedly the best choice.

But the purpose of coming here is mainly to inquire about information, the shortest is three days, and the longest is ten days. The housing is better, and people will not always pay attention.

Due to the curfew at night.

So Wan Jinghao changed his clothes and went out.

He was going to go to places like restaurants to see if he could find any useful information, including not limited to information about the Scarlet Banner occupying the city, as well as information about the Zhao royal family and officials who had fled to the north of the Tianhe River.

Jiang Ren stayed in the room alone because he was going to review the harvest of the past month.

Although he couldn't be too far away from Wan Jinghao due to the parasitic relationship, as long as he didn't exceed a certain distance.

As for Wan Jinghao who is in danger, he can also switch the main perspective at any time, and only needs a corpse to help on the physical level.

"In the past month, no less than [-] Dazhao people and no less than [-] barbarians have died under Wan Jinghao and me."

"Based on the limit of 230 living corpses that I currently control, it can be estimated that the total number of deaths exceeds 11, and the error value is less than [-]."

"On the other hand, nearly [-] yuan was spent on lottery essence, all of which are random options."

"Twenty times for the highest level of advanced drawing, several times for intermediate drawing and ordinary drawing."

"There are various items and talents in the draw, and most of them are not as good as tasteless tasteless ribs. However, because it is the cheapest random option, it is relatively cost-effective overall, and I have obtained a lot of good things."

"In addition to the food I need most, there are also a few talents that work well."

With a thought in his mind, Jiang Ren opened up the talent details.

[Talent: Femininity Affinity]

[Introduction: Slightly increase your affinity for genitals]

[Note: You will be more likely to see certain unclean things, or become them, if they exist]

[Talent: Strong physique]

[Introduction: Your body is stronger than ordinary people, any injury that hits you will be reduced from weakness, and the recovery speed will also be slightly improved]

[Remarks: A strong and healthy body can allow you to do many things, such as a hearty streaking run]

[Talent: Night March]

[Introduction to make your energy more vigorous at night, and slightly increase your night-time walking speed]

[Remarks: I can't believe it, you are so fast again]

[Talent: Weapon Master]

[Introduction: Improve the mastery of cold weapons]

[Remarks: Any weapon in your hands can turn decay into magic. Others can kill with a pen, but you can kill with a keyboard]

"These four abilities are the most useful four of the talents I currently have."

Jiang Ren ignored the ridicule in the notes and thought carefully.

Needless to say, Yinwu Affinity was drawn by him on the night of the city breaking in Yecheng. His current state and ability of ghost vines are probably related to this talent.

The last three talents are all harvested this month.

Being physically strong can reduce the damage received by undead zombies after they get out of control, and reduce the consumption of energy replenishment.

The night march increased his speed at night. If it weren't for this ability, it would take him at least three days to reach Lin'an City.

As for the weapon master, it is very practical.

It has improved his proficiency in cold weapons, but as long as it is an item, he can use it proficiently as a weapon, but there is no bonus effect on weapons such as swords and sticks that he is already proficient in using.

In addition, the effect of the weapon master is similar to that of the night march, and can be transmitted to every living corpse.

Although the effect is not as exaggerated as the body controlled by the main consciousness, it also increases the force and survivability of all living corpses to a certain extent.

Suddenly, there was a small sound outside.

"Someone is coming, and there are a lot of them."

Because his thoughts were interrupted, Jiang Ren took a few steps forward and stuck to the wall next to the window, looking out of the room through a gap.

A group of no less than ten soldiers surrounded the courtyard where he was.
